Divine Brilliance - Chapter 686

Chapter 686: Destruction Path

Apart from these documents and Letters of Credence, there were many other letters from Donglin. Zong Shou causally tossed them aside. He reached out with his right hand and took out a Heaven and Earth Bag.

When he used his One Origin Black Sword to injure Jia Mingluo and cut off his four limbs, this bag was hidden in his sleeves.

Zong Shou casually kept it but didn’t have any time to see what was within it.

Reaching in with Spiritual Sense, he felt that the opening was sealed up by a strong power.

However, since the owner was dead, he was easily able to break it.

In the next instant, Zong Shou sucked in a deep cold breath.

The Heaven and Earth Bag was really spacious. He had two to three of the biggest Grade-9 Heaven and Earth Bags in The Cloud World, however, at most they occupied just 10,000 feet of space.

This one in his hand was 100,000 feet, the space within could be compared to a small city.

If one filled it with grain, it could provide food for 100,000 Elites for a whole year.

Currently, it was filled up with items. Many metals were arranged within, in an orderly manner.

Zong Shou took one into his hands and then shook his head in disappointment.

This should be Black Demon Metal. The millions of Night Demon Army armor were made using this as the main material.

It could increase the strength of the Night Demon and to a certain extent go against light. It would be the reserve resources for him to conquer the Cloud World.

However, to the humans, it wasn’t of any use.

With a spell, many pieces of the Black Demon Metal surged out.

They spread out of the doors and onto the green stone field in front of the palace.

A huge ocean of metal piled up like a mountain and only when the Heaven and Earth Bag was empty, did he stop.

At this moment, the space inside was really vast. Only there was still some stuff left in the bottom left corner.

Zong Shou’s eyes shone brightly.

As expected, from one of the eight Princes of the Night Demon race. This Prince had more riches than himself.

Forgetting about the pills which might not be suitable for humans, there were two to three thousand Grade-9 Mind Stones.

There were even 400 High Xuan Grade ones.

If a Grade-9 Mind Stone could let him use the Eon Book for a day, then these Xuan Grade ones, even the Low-Grade ones could let him use it for ten.

His rewards this time were more than what he had accumulated in his entire life.

There were even some books which recorded Night Demon Race Cultivation methods.

However, these methods were different from human Cultivators, which were split into martial and spiritual paths. From the start, they didn’t split them up, only at the Heaven Realm did they start to differentiate. This was also due to the special nature of the Night Demon Race.

There was one book that was really special and different from the others.

Zong Shou took it out, only to see that the cover was extremely dark with no words on it at all. However, when he swept it with his Spiritual Sense, he knew that on it there were the words ‘Seven Star Xuan Lightning Book’.

When Zong Shou opened it and read page by page, he was filled with excitement.

This wasn’t a Night Demon Cultivation Method but a Cloud World Taoist classic.

It seemed like 10,000 years ago, not only did the Cloud World Cultivators learn from the Night Demon Martial Path, but they also gained many benefits from the Cloud World.

There were a total of seven pages and one needed to use Spiritual Sense to understand the details within.

However, after the second page, there were conditions. One’s body needed a certain grasp of the power of lightning before they could flip it open.

It recorded a total of seven Lightning Techniques of comparable power. However, if one had all seven, one could challenge the pinnacle of the Lightning Path.

Jia Mingluo had only grasped one type.

Who knows if it was due to his body or the Night Demon race cultivation method.

His current Lightning Ability was far above that of the Red Star God Lightning. He was only suppressed since his cultivation was lower than Jia Mingluo. If they were of the same grade, he would have suppressed him. He could directly flip to the fourth page of the book.

Each page was as heavy as a mountain and inside it numerous words and restrictions were recorded.

From a rough look, it was at least a Grade-10 Saint Spirit Magical Artifact Book.

If it was really as this book said, Seven Lightning Merging, one could use it to challenge the End Realm and even be listed as a Grade-11 God-like Technique.

Zong Shou himself didn’t specialise in lightning. However, after such a rough glance he realized the Lightning Phoenix Mark in his soul was changing.

It stretched out several rune-like structures and the original spiritual patterns were also changing.

Not much was added but it looked more profound and also more exquisite.

It seemed like the laws written in this book were recognized by the ancient God Beast Lightning Phoenix.

Who left this book? Who created this lightning element spell?

This book was of some help to him. Even if he couldn’t cultivate, he could use it to increase the strength of his Purple Lightning. If he had time, he could dive deeper into it.

He smiled and looked at one side of the Heaven and Earth Bag.

At this moment, the Mind Stones on hand could allow him to use it for decades.

He also needed some time to digest the gains from his battle against Jia Mingluo.

He immediately proceeded right when he thought about it and directly took out the Eon Book and smacked a Low Xuan Grade Mind Stone into it. When threads of Spiritual Energy were absorbed, the time flow around his body started to become abnormal.

※※※※

30 days later, still within the sleeping hall of that palace.

Zong Shou was looking at his hands in deep thought.

A ball of Red Lightning was flashing and jumping in his palm.

This was the Red Star God Lightning. Along with his heart, it formed into a ball and then into a net.

This lightning spell was still incomplete, much weaker than Jia Mingluo. However…

Another Purple Lightning Ball flashed in his Palm.

When the two clashed, the Purple Lightning instantly swallowed the other. Then, there was an explosion which seemed really domineering. Threads of lightning buzzed in the air.

Zong Shou’s eyes focused. It was at least 20% stronger than before!

If he fully completed the Red Star God Lightning, then he might be able to reach 30%.

He studied this Seven Star Xuan Lightning Book to perfect the Lightning Phoenix Mark in his soul. Who knew that he would have such a surprise?

He believed what the book said about the Seven Lightning Merging and chasing the pinnacle of the Lightning Path.

Since this Red Star God Lightning could be merged into his Purple Lightning, what would happen if he cultivated the other few types?

Zong Shou shook his head. Although he anticipated it, he knew how tough it was to cultivate it. It was best if he placed it to the side.

Counting the days, Zhang Huai should have settled down Huizhou. A month had passed and there was no news of rebellions or chaos.

He was here to act as a shield to settle the area down. Since there was nothing going on, then he could return back to Donglin.

At this moment, he felt something, his brow raising as he stood up and stepped out.

He pushed open the door and saw a teen with his back facing him and looking at the sky.

It was Aokun!

Zong Shou felt his aura when he was in the room. However, he was a little surprised to see him now.

He didn’t know why he came over.

Seeing Zong Shou walk out, Aokun turned back with a smile.

“That person’s disciple will probably return to the Cloud World in a year!”

Zong Shou’s brow rose up, that person? Who? Looking at Aokun’s complicated expression, he understood.

Aokun was most probably referring to the person who sealed him in the stone wall.

“This person came from the Taoist Sect and most probably came for you. I can handle two but not four…”

Zong Shou’s heart sank. Following this, he laughed coldly. He had predicted this matter. A year later would be when he would break through the Heaven Barrier.

However, he didn’t worry much about it now. If he was willing and used the power of the Book of Eon, in just a few months he could do it.

If he also wanted to accumulate deeper and ensure nothing went wrong, he could go to the Common People’s Vast Habitat to break the Barriers from Heaven.

The Taoist Sect Saint Realm Experts wouldn’t fight with Common People’s Path for that right?

Following this, his heart moved. He wouldn’t believe it if Aokun said he came over specially to remind him.

He had predicted this when he attacked those 7,000 Purple Qilin Flame Spear Cavalry.

How could Taoist Sect take that humiliation?

He gave them a slap to the face, although Wu Xu didn’t say anything, he definitely wanted to get it back. If not, he didn’t need to continue as the Palace Head.

“What matter do you have?”

Zong Shou’s eyes were filled with suspicion as he looked carefully at Aokun. His aura was changing. Although it wasn’t in a chaotic state, it wasn’t able to calm down.

If it was anyone else, he wouldn’t be surprised, however, Aokun was an Intermediate Saint Realm Expert.

“I knew I couldn’t hide it from you!”

Aokun smiled awkwardly and shook his head in a self-mocking manner, “I relied on the Destruction Dragon Pellet. I thought I could control it, but something happened. I can’t interrupt that old man so I can only ask for help from you…”

Zong Shou was startled once more. How would he be able to help him with a problem that he as a Saint Realm Expert couldn’t handle?

Did he have to head to a Dragon Hall? Or find some treasure?

This time he might not be so lucky.

He saw Aokun causally pick up a broken stone.

Looking closely, the rock turned directly into dust.

It first turned to dust, then into thinner micro-particles and then into Spiritual Energy.

In the end, even the Spiritual Energy dissipated. It was a little similar to Yuan Wushang’s Spirit Explosion Sword Intent.

After this, it stopped and Aokun seemed to be at a loss.
