Divine Brilliance - Chapter 470

Chapter 470: Raising by One Position

Although Taoists and Buddhist cultivation methods were similar up till the day wandering realm, many details were different.

He didn’t have the foundations of a Buddhist disciple, so during the 8th grade, when he formed the dharma, it would be exceptionally difficult.

It was why he could only obtain it from elsewhere, using external strength using these two light and darkness element pearls as a base to help him build his structure.

After 560 days and nights, the nourishing of the blazing glass pearl and the extreme dark chill energy pearl had reached their final stages.

Along with seals being smacked into those 2 pearls, the entire 400 feet room was being more and more split up.

The pearls stopped suspending in mid-air and started to rotate, stirring up the heaven and earth’s spiritual energy, looking restless.

When the dark part swept across, it would make the wall freeze up. However when the next half came about it would cause the ice layer to swiftly melt, causing the stone wall to turn into magma.

Every period of time, Zong Shou would drip out 2 drops of essence blood into the 2 pearls.

Their mental connection was getting stronger and stronger.

Every time he was showing signs of running out of soul power and vital energy, a high-grade mind stone or pill would appear in his hand. He didn’t need to swallow it. Just by holding it, all he would absorb all the spiritual energy and medicinal properties into his body.

Who knew how much he consumed to cause his body to be covered in dust.

Not bothering about the changes in night and day outside, time flowed. He fully focused on hitting one by one spiritual talisman into the pearls.

The five elements were split into yin and yang, and each had different types. Water was split up into gui water and ren water.

What Zong Shou needed to do was to split all the laws he had grasped into yin and yang and shift them all into these 2 pearls.

It caused 2 different spiritual formations to slowly form within. It walked a blood refining artifact path which was close to a demon path.

However, once they formed, the 2 pearls could not only transform into the rough embryos for the black and white holes, but it would also merge completely with his soul, unable to be separated.

As expected, when the last spiritual talisman went in, the blazing glass pearl and extreme dark chill energy pearl started to repel one another.

If Zong Shou hadn’t expected it in advance and used true qi to restrict it, it would probably fly right out of the room.

He wasn’t shocked but delighted, filled with a smile on his face. These 2 rough embryos were finally formed.

Coincidentally, at this moment, a paper pigeon suddenly flew in from the window.

Zong Shou casually grabbed it in his hand, a weird expression appearing in his face. It didn’t have any talismans on it, but it was naturally sentient, able to fly about.

Opening it and taking a look, it had a few names. One of them was Xie An, there was also one which was Xuanye. The other 4 names were ones that Zong Shou had never seen before.

He didn’t mind about it much. Luoshi had represented his sect out to fight half a year ago. He fought for 7 rounds with Jueyu before falling, and it was said that he lost badly.

It was why, this time, his name wasn’t on the list.

As for these 4 people that he wasn’t familiar with, common people’s path was so strong. They had more young experts of comparable age apart from Xie An Luoshi and Xuanye.

Due to various reasons, they didn’t come over to the vast habitat but they had the right to represent the sect to fight.

Thinking back to when Jueyu challenged the 19 spiritual houses and 10 shrines, he would often fight 3-7 people.

It was either the sect couldn’t take out any more suitable choices or if Jueyu himself felt satisfied or was badly injured did he retreat.

However, it wasn’t easy to hurt him. From the start to now, apart from the beginning when those few grade 9 experts came out without any care for their face which managed to hurt Jueyu, it was pretty much impossible.

The 6 names on the list should be the selected order which the common people path fought in.

What was surprising was that there was no Tanqiu on it.

His brows rose before his face regained calm. He knew that the few sect elders were afraid he would lose face which was why they excluded him.

Thinking about it, Zong Shou laughed involuntarily. He didn’t care and wrote the name Su Chuxue at the back.

Following which he folded the paper once more into the shape of the paper crane from before. In the next instance, the paper crane seemed to have come alive. It flapped its wings and flew out of the window.

He stopped bothering about it, looking forward like nothing had happened at all.

At this moment only the final 2 steps were left. One was the bridge between the two pearls and the other was to merge them into his soul.

The current Zong Shou had no idea that Hanfang who had received the paper crane was complicated in the Book Hiding Hall B, looking at the last line on it.

The words were strong like that of dragon flying and phoenix dancing, power flowing through the paper, making one filled with praise.

…Su Chuxue? Why her?

Under Zong Shou, be it Zong Yuan or Ruoshui, they were all extremely strong. Although they were just grade 7, they were people, in his eyes, who could go up against grade 8 experts.

Especially the former who he had high hopes for. Using the natural protector, grade 8 giant lighting dragon, he would be able to fight for 30 over strokes with Jueyu and might give the various sects a surprise.

However, who knew that Zong Shou would write Su Chuxue’s name who, be it talent or skill, she was the weakest.

For some reason, Hanfang recalled Zong Shou’s bet 2 years ago.

Did this maidservant have something extraordinary about her? Her cultivation was only grade 6, how could she even take a single shot from Jueyu?

What was this fellow doing?

Hanfang was slightly distracted, the paper in his hand was also snatched by the person beside. Following which there was a furious roar, “What rubbish! Does he think this is a game? This Jueyu is challenging the sects to train his sword path. But someone wants to use his hand to test the skill behind the various sects. Even if we can’t win this battle we can’t lose the face of our common people path…”

The person who spoke was Fangwen who scoffed coldly, “Is it reasonable to let this girl fight? Does he want others to laugh at us, to say that common people path have no people?”

Hanfang was helpless, opening his eyes and stunning there. Xuexi who was sitting at the side said expressionlessly, “Yesterday I went to the ancestral hall to take a look. Senior master Zong is 16th on the book! He had risen by one spot and is above senior master Han.”

Fangwen was instantly like a deflated balloon, his face was dejected. The page numbering on the mysterious life book not only represented the important disciples of the sect, but it also represented one’s status and the power he held in the sect.

Although Zong Shou didn’t officially take up any power, since he was already above Hanfang, then his words had to be listened to. Even Hanfang had no way to object.

In his heart he was conflicted, why did it have to happen right at this moment.

He also felt slightly weird. Senior brother Han was about to step into the Saint realm, why would he be exceeded by Zong Shou.

Didn’t that fellow’s cultivation halt due to the weaknesses in his cultivation method?

What had happened such that the positioning in the book changed?

“Senior master shouldn’t have agreed to it! In my eyes, we need to inform the revered one. Ask him to make a decision to stop senior master from giving random orders.”

However, he was listless. He hadn’t seen any traces of Wei Xu for a long while, who knew where he went.

The other seniors were all tough to find too. Within the common people path palace, the highest status people were Hanfang and Zong Shou.

And those whose tracks they roughly knew about, be it seniority or status, were much lacking.

Did they have to sound the god shocking bell in the ancestral hall that was said to be able to spread true numerous worlds?

Hanfang was still stunned as he looked towards 1st Courtyard A.

In recent days for some reason, his heart jumped. It wasn’t a bad premonition but instead, he felt delighted whilst also a little uneasy.

Somehow he felt like an amazing thing was about to happen and it was mostly related to his junior brother.

The changes with the mysterious life book proved his guesses.

That fellow had been in secluded meditation of numerous days, so what was he doing?

※※※※

On the road filled with yellow sand, a large-sized black cloud crossing carriage was traveling at high speeds. 8 grade 5 Windrider foals were pulling, causing the carriage to be at a fast pace. Like lightning, it zoomed passed the mountains.

As it passed the mountain straits, a person appeared at the exit.

The coachman of the carriage, his brows rose. He suddenly pulled the rope tightly.

Although this person seemed close to 80, he was filled with strength. Just a light pull caused the 8 grade 5 spiritual beasts to stop their charge, neighing as they stood on 2 legs.

The coachman stopped 200 feet away from that person. The white-haired coachman looked closely at him, and a lost expression appeared on his face.

“Tailing Sect, Ji Lingzi?”

In front of the carriage stood a teen wearing a green colored robe with a long sword on his back. At this moment, his gaze was dark as he looked within the carriage.

His burning gaze was like he was about to pierce through the carriage.

“Jueyu what is your reason for leaving without fighting?”

Within the black colored carriage, it was quiet. A while later a cold voice spread out.

“Not worth it!”

Ji Lingzi’s body shuddered and didn’t understand.

That white-haired old man smiled, “What my young master means is that someone as despicable as you isn’t worth him fighting! If Tailing Sect can only take out disciples like you, then there is no point fighting…”

Ji Lingzi’s face was dyed red. The rage in his eyes was like a volcano that was about to explode. He said with a low tone, “Just you Jueyu what rights do you have to judge me? You only fought 3 battles on my tailing mountain, are you afraid?”

Within the cloud crossing carriage, it was silence once more before a cold laugh spread out.

“Your sword heart has fallen, and you are just trash. Why should I waste my time? I might not know about the others in tailing Sect but I know that your sword art was worse than before…”
