Divine Brilliance - Chapter 509

Chapter 509: Legacy Land

Seeing Zong Shou not give a reaction, Ye Feishuang frowned. She wanted to persuade him, but in the end, she shook her head. “Your actions seem to be reckless but you have your own plans… Choosing to attack the second shrine’s Yuanshi Demon Sect is enough to threaten and warn the other sects… Making enemies with a single sect is better than offending everyone here.”

Her tone was filled with respect, however, Zong Yuan could only look over with worry.

He didn’t care much about the Yuanshi Demon Sect. Gantian Mountain had enough ability to go up against them.

The reason for his worry is only because Zong Shou paid such a price to help him get a spot, this made him feel uneasy.

It was also because just now with Zong Shou’s personality, it seemed to be a little off. He didn’t hesitate to attack the Yuanshi Demon Sect disciples, the sharpness of his attacks even made him feel a little weird.

Zong Shou was startled since he noticed that he was being looked at like this by Zong Yuan, following after, he fell into deep thought.

Did he become arrogant? Perhaps too arrogant? Did he lose his heart due to his strength?

After thinking about it carefully, Zong Shou slightly shook his head.

With Hanxi and the Lightning Winged Dragon who had recently advanced to grade-8 along with the two paper men, he could even face a peak grade-9 expert.

Moreover, with the four thousand Blood Cloud Cavalry of Gantian, it was more than enough to go up against any sect.

Thinking upon it carefully, Zong Shou’s brows frowned.

This was because he finally understood the reason. The other “him” had already returned.

After losing his father at a young age and his entry to a famous school was snatched. He was 18 years old when he roamed the business fields to have some slight achievements, but he was then plotted against, this resulted in the death of his mother.

When he turned 21, he had no choice but to become a librarian. When he touched God Emperor and started his cultivation journey, he was filled with hatred. He hated the heavens for having no eyes and the earth for having no heart. In his eyes, he had no pity anymore, everyone was better off dead.

When he finally had some small achievements in God Emperor, he left the library and entered the area beneath the Cloud Ocean several times.

On one side, he trained his sword techniques and martial path within God Emperor, on the other, he went beneath the Cloud Ocean to start his practical battles.

Unknowingly he obtained the Styx River Death Sword and started crazily killing.

Numerous cultivators fell under his hands. There was also an ocean of beasts that died in front of him.

At that time, he was no different from the Hundred Thousand Blood Killer Li Yaling.

This happened until he was 30, after he broke through to the ascended realm, plotting and killing the people who caused his mother’s death. Following this, he returned to the library to cultivate and take care of his body.

However that ‘him’ who had disappeared at that time seems to have come back.

Zong Shou thought about it and knew that it was mostly the side effect of the Stargazing Tower.

He saw the beginning of an entire world, those scenes had impacted the foundations of his path.

Zong Shou laughed involuntarily. He had no intention to suppress his other self. The other him was also a part of his history, a part of who he was. He would just let nature take its course, there was no need to reject the other him.

After returning back to the library to retract his killing heart, it wasn’t because he regretted it, but because he knew that if he continued to kill, it would be more harmful than beneficial for him.

However, now, since his own heart felt that this violent method was the best to use in this situation, then it was fine. Why can’t he just use a domineering method to live his life?

Ye Feishuang didn’t know about the changes in Zong Shou’s mind. However, after hearing the tone of the two men who were speaking, it was like they didn’t care about the Yuanshi Demon Sect, she couldn’t help but feel infuriated.

“I really don’t know if you both are crazy or too arrogant!”

She couldn’t help but mock them, Ye Feishuang slightly hesitated before she handed a jade letter over, “The Legacy Land is a maze. However, there are patterns that can be found. These are the memories of both Feihan and I. It which might help the both of you two. There is also one thing that you have to remember. Within the Legacy Land, you might not be able to use external powers…”

Out of their group, Feihan and her wouldn’t enter. Chuxue also didn’t have the strength to, moreover, she was currently in deep sleep. Ruoshui also didn’t have anything related to the dragon race.

Thus the two spots would only be left to Zong Yuan and Zong Shou.

Zong Shou took the jade letter without any hesitation and sent his spiritual sense in. After a moment, he memorized it all before handing it over to Zong Yuan.

While the few of them were speaking, Fangming had decided on who would join the remaining spots.

The atmosphere within the hall instantly relaxed. Although there were people who were unhappy, they weren’t willing to voice it out. The sects that managed to be chosen also selected their members to go in.

Most of them were grade-7. However, sects like the Tailing Sect and the Yuanshi Demon Sect basically had one to two grade-9 spiritual grandmasters.

After looking at the situation, Fangming was prepared to enter personally. Who knows what secret technique he used to suppress his aura to the grade-7 level?

The entrance to the Legacy Land was a stone door at the depths of the hall, it was extremely huge.

Zong Shou followed behind them and entered. First, he was suddenly stabbed by a strong glow such to the point that he was unable to open his eyes.

When he finally regained his sight, he was already in a vast piece of wilderness.

Only now did he know what Ye Feishuang meant when she said that he would be unable to use external strength.

The two puppets were suppressed by a mysterious power right as he entered. It forced him to keep and turn them back into two paper talismans.

Hanxi also found it really uncomfortable, it quickly took the initiative to hide back in the spirit beast bag by Zong Shou’s waist.

As for the Lightning Winged Dragon, it hid deeply within his arm, not making any movements.

However… This external force should only refer to grade-7 and above strength.

There was nothing weird about Little Gold who was wrapped around his left hand.

While looking around, he saw that there were already numerous people around this extremely wide wilderness.

All of them glanced around warily. The cultivators of the Yuanshi Demon Sect looked towards Zong Shou with extremely dangerous gazes.

Zong Shou broke out into a laugh upon seeing this, he held the sword by his waist and stared straight back at them.

The two Yuanshi Demon Sect cultivators seemed to have recalled Zong Shou’s strength. It was then that he remembered that Zong Shou didn’t only rely on the two grade-9 paper men, but also that his own sword path was already one with the spirit.

They scoffed before turning around and leaving in an unhappy manner.

Looking at the two of them disappear, Zong Shou also shook his head, casually choosing another direction to travel towards.

Based on what Ye Feishuang said, within this wilderness, there was an illusion that if one wasn’t in the Celestial Path, they wouldn’t be able to break. No matter which direction he chose, it was all the same. If he was lucky, he would naturally obtain something. The treasures of the Legacy Land would naturally appear in front of his face.

As expected, moments later, Zong Shou saw the area in front of him turn deep blue. Before this, it was still a piece of wilderness, but now he was on a deep blue lake. A small bridge connected to the center of the lake.

A grade-8 Purple Dragon Shadow coiled on the stone bridge. It was actually a Giant Lightning Dragon that roared at Zong Shou.

Zong Shou didn’t bother about it and continued to look towards the center. As expected, there were treasures. Three fingernail-sized crystals were hanging in mid-air on the small island within the lake.

“My luck isn’t bad at all!”

While smiling, Zong Shou stepped forward onto the stone bridge.

Actually, the reality of this area was that there was no water and no bridge but who cared?

The purple-colored dragon seemed to be unhappy with him trespassing on its territory and roared furiously as it struck out.

Zong Shou’s eyes glared, the broken Tan sword in his hand turned into a silver light which quickly flashed out!

There was no one here, so there was no need to worry. With this sword stabbing out, he went all out.

Platinum Dragon Sword! Slash!

The sword light flashed like a real platinum giant dragon flying. Zong Shou’s aura was like a real high-grade dragon’s descendant!

Whilst the dragon shadow shone, the purple-colored dragon in front of him was sliced into two by this sword light!

Following shortly after, the entire body of the dragon broke down. There was no blood, no meat, it just simply disappeared into the void.

At this moment, Zong Shou looked toward the sword in his hand.

His sword path seemed to have improved. Even this True Dragon Sword Intent that he wasn’t that good at was at the Sword Soul Level…

However, there seems to be something else. The aura that he didn’t have before had naturally merged into his sword path.

…The Absolute Beginning?

Zong Shou’s eyes rose. Following which, he kept the broken Tan sword into the sheath.

After stepping onto that small lake island, he kept the few crystals. It seemed that this part wasn’t an illusion, but a real item.

Zong Shou’s face was smiling. He placed the crystals on his right hand and merged them within.

From an outsider’s point of view, it would seem to have been absorbed into his skin, but it was actually swallowed by the Lightning Winged Dragon.

These few crystals were from the Lightning Winged Dragon bloodline.

According to what Ye Feishuang said, these crystals were extremely hard to find, it would have purely depended on luck. If he found it, then it would cause the strength of the Lightning Winged Dragon to increase by a huge grade!

In the next instant, the blue-colored space was slowly collapsing. Pieces of shrapnels fell downwards before finally disappearing.

It returned back to what it was before, a piece of wilderness. There was no one around, however, in the sky, there was a giant golden-colored crane that was sweeping downwards.

The crane was a hundred thousand feet away a moment ago, but in half a breath it was now inches away.

The dragon race’s Legacy Land was designed to test the dragon race juniors and to let them inherit the bloodline.

The golden-winged crane God Beast was the enemy of the dragon race.

Any living being had something that countered it. This golden-winged crane was the natural counter to all dragons.

The giant Lightning Winged Dragon in his right hand showed signs of fear.

Zong Shou didn’t even think and waved out with his sword. White and purple colors wrapped around one another as it struck towards the sky!

Nine Dragon Shadow! Break!

The Platinum Dragon Sword and Lightning Dragon Sword instantly stacked. Outside of the white light, thousands of lightning flashed around, breaking the 2 giant claws.

The sword light directly broke into the stomach of the golden-winged crane.

It shredded this God Beast into pieces!

Following after, Zong Shou could only exclaim in shock. He reached out with his hand, only to see a bloody heart grabbed in his grasp.

The golden-winged crane disappeared, but only this heart was preserved.
