Divine Brilliance - Chapter 563
Chapter 563: Never Experienced Before
“God Emperor?” Zong Shou was startled, following which he laughed coldly and didn’t reply.
At this time, those few other people should have already risen up, especially that person who was fated by heaven to be the main character of this region’s worlds. It should not be long before it was time for him to reveal himself.
In the illusionary realm he had been through those years, and he was extremely clear about how cruel this battle was.
Although the legend said that the God Emperor came from the Central Continent and was from the human race, since his fate could be changed, then he might be able to fight for that God Emperor spot.
Only this heart wasn’t on that, and he wasn’t willing to waste effort on it.
“You can take on this difficult task!”
Zong Weiran seemed to have seen through his thoughts, and sighed. “Treat it like you are doing it for your mother. The strength of the Lu Family exceeds what you imagine. Even I today am like a little soldier in their eyes. Even a Saint realm might not cause the Lu Family to change their minds. The only way would be totally crush the Lu Family and crush their eight hundred worlds…”
Zong Shou’s heartstrings jumped up, his pupils constricting tightly.
Mother? Lu Hanyan…
Pictures of when he was young appeared in his mind. They didn’t belong to Tanqiu, but to Zong Shou.
He didn’t have any memories related to Lu Hanyan. He didn’t even know what his mother looked like.
He always envied other people receiving motherly love.
However it was said that his clothes until he was eight were personally made by his mother and left in Hanyan Palace.
It seemed like she knew before he was born that she was unable to remain in the Cloud World, and in that period of time each of them was personally cut and sewn by her.
Although he had never met her, he could feel that the woman placed a lot of focus on him and was filled with love towards him.
Only, wasn’t his mother taken away by the Lu Family people? Why did Zong Weiran say it like that?
In his imagination, as long as Zong Weiran was able to display strength worthy of a direct bloodline descendant of the Lu Family, this matter would be easily solved.
Were there other things that he didn’t know about?
Looking over with a questioning gaze, Zong Weiran gave him a self-mocking laugh. “You should know about the matter today. The Lu Family said that your mother mated with another race and made a huge mistake, which was why she was seen as a sinner. Actually I should have died to the Lu Family twenty years ago, but your mother took all the blame and was willing to receive punishment. This race’s rules are really strict, and they wouldn’t change them just for me. What these ten thousand year-old large races are most afraid of are breaking rules, they also aren’t able to put down their face…”
Zong Shou silently looked into the sky, his brows tightly furrowed. The only way would be to totally crush the sky-burning flame which controlled eight hundred worlds!
To smash their pride totally before speaking with them!
After struggling between the pinnacle of the sword path and family relations, Zong Shou made a decision.
“I will try my best!”
In the future there was a world that had spiritual cultivation as its main cultivation path, they had a phrase which Zong Shou remembered clearly.
In that world, there weren’t unfilial gods and deities.
In the eyes of true cultivators, they didn’t make any sense, butZong Shou really identified with it.
Speaking of which, he wasn’t a pure swordsman.
Some people felt that one on the sword path could give up on everything and also not bother about family. That Li Yaling killed his mother and wife, having nothing else left within his heart.
However, he couldn’t do that. He had too many burdens in his heart and there were many things that he couldn’t let go of.
He had his own path and saw these things, these people, as his own cultivation.
If he learned how to give up and lost one of them or didn’t put in effort for one of them, then he wouldn’t be complete.
These were the foundations of Zong Shou’s sword heart…
Speaking of which, Dragon Shadow old man mentioned when he left… this world doesn’t allow two tigers to live, did he already know about this matter?
Actually he knew that his thoughts before were too innocent.
He would clash with those people in the end, no matter what!
Seeing him nod his head, Zong Weiran had a satisfied smile, “It is okay if you give your best! If you really can’t, there is no need to force it. Just try to protect yourself and retreat safely from the Cloud World!”
As he said that, Zong Weiran’s voice changed to one filled with melancholy. “Father has to go! With those world protector venerables here, without the Book protecting me, I can’t stay for long. If those people sense me, they will probably notice where the Book ended up. In the future, you need to be careful. Before you reach the God realm don’t come and find me. Just treat it like you didn’t see me within the Oblivion Cloud Ocean.”
Zong Shou’s brows rose coldly. He recalled those few, whose voices he heard of, but he hadn’t seen their faces.
In the battle of the Mysterious Cloud Spirit Sect, Common People Path used him to stage a plot, that should have killed one of them on the spot. For a short amount of time, they should be more well-behaved.
However if it was for this book, the five of them wouldn’t care about anything, unless he reached the God realm and had the ability to protect himself!
“Then where are you going? Is there anything that I can help with?” He asked that, but Zong Shou wouldn’t admit that in his heart he was really worried about this fellow.
When Zong Weiran heard that, he laughed from the depths of his heart, quite pleased. “Before your mother left, she told me a place that might be helpful for me to help increase my cultivation greatly. Today, since I can’t use the book to enter the Saint realm, then it is best I search for that place for a good chance. If I obtain something, I will search for the Lu Family. Don’t worry, if it was two years ago I would have a ninety percent chance of dying, but today, escaping with my skills wouldn’t be too difficult.”
Zong Shou felt at ease when he heard that. With Zong Weiran’s skills, grasping a portion of the time techniques, there were very few people in the world who could deal with him.
Zong Weiran saw that he understood, and having no more doubts at all, he laughed and patted Zong Shou’s head. He retracted his intent and took a step forwards, ripping open the space in this land of chaotic gravity.
Zong Shou felt that his four limbs could finally move as he stood up. Just now his entire body was being suppressed, unable to move at all, it was extremely uncomfortable.
Looking at the back of Zong Weiran, who was about to disappear, Zong Shou’s eyes shone with unwillingness and hesitation. In the end, before Zong Weiran left he opened his mouth and said, “Why did you destroy your cultivation for me? That you should have had the ability to go up against the Lu Family. A Saint realm who grasped past, present, and future should be invincible. However you dropped four Ggrades for me and even died, you are foolish enough…”
He just lost one son, he could just give birth to more in the future. Why did he need to go through so much trouble?
Zong Weiran halted like he was deep in thought, shaking his head and smiling. “How would I know if I didn’t go through it? Maybe I was really crazy at that time. Or maybe I didn’t have the face to meet your mother. Unable to protect my wife and unable to save my son, my life was really pitiful. Rather than say I was invincible, those words were a little overmuch. Using outside force to become a Saint, one would be able to achieve it quickly. However, to progress in the future would be extremely difficult. This matter might not be a bad thing for me.”
After he finished, he stepped into that space fissure.
———
Zong Shou stood quietly on the spot. A moment later he slowly returned to his senses.
At this point he was regretting it slightly. He was still unable to call Zong Weiran father.
Sighing, Zong Shou smacked his own head as punishment, before he stepped forwards and left this area.
Actually since Zong Weiran had left, this place couldn’t be maintained. The wild gravity tore it apart and made its shape change, it was already close to collapsing.
Zong Shou wasn’t willing to remain here anymore, he knew that what Zong Weiran had said before wasn’t just words said to frighten him.
He knew that although those Saint realm cultivators were unable to foresee the future, their senses were really sharp. Even a thread or a single trace would allow them to deduce the truth.
Getting far away from the Oblivion Cloud Ocean and stepping outside, Zong Shou could feel a spiritual sense sweep over and cover him.
It was really subtle. If not for Zong Shou’s martial path intent reaching the Soul realm and paying close attention, there was no way he would have sensed it. However, the range was only limited to thirty feet around him.
This intent swept his body before retreating like a wave, like it was afraid of something, not coming into any more contact with him.
Zong Shou laughed coldly inside, acting like he didn’t feel anything. He continued to act like he was searching around within this Oblivion Cloud Ocean.
——
Three days later he still didn’t find anything. Only then did he walk out of the Cloud Ocean with a really disappointed expression.
At this moment, he wasn’t sure whether or not that intent had actually left.
He acted like he didn’t sense it as he continued west. Flying for close to a day, only then did that extreme sense of danger fade. Only when he used up his soul power did he choose a beautiful spiritual peak to land on.
He recovered his soul power while entering that meditative state. He looked like he was sleeping, but he wasn’t;, he looked like he was dreaming, but he wasn’t.
His soul ocean suddenly expanded.
Zong Shou formed a body inside his soul, stepping about within.
In just a few moments he got close to that ball of blue light.
Recalling a few years ago that he had drank wine with the other him in this place, his expression was filled with a sense of loss.
At that time didn’t expect that they were part of the same body.
He looked at that ball of blue light, and after muttering a sentence, suddenly stepped in front of it.
When he came here before, he had analyzed this thing, but was rejected. Not even a bit of spiritual sense could be sent in.
However, there was a drawing force now. Not doing anything, he was still swallowed within.
Stepping inside, Zong Shou looked ahead. There was now a giant book in his soul ocean, and he distractedly reached his hand over.
“This is the Book of Eon Extreme Life?”
