A ball of lightning was spinning about his right fingertip, jumping about Zong Shou who was taking in deep breaths and in deep thought, subconsciously moving his body. Occasionally, it would give out the sound of lightning claps, which were the dust in the air exploded by the lightning.

This was the lightning winged snake. An hour ago, when he woke up from his sleep, Wei Xu causally threw this thing towards him.

He said that in the battle before, he was only able to take 23 swords from the black shirt old man before he totally lost to that grandmaster and fell unconscious.

His lightning winged sword also became a sacrifice.

And Wei Xu felt that the weapon spirit was not bad, casually grabbing it and helping it become a peak grade 6 beast.

His senior brother was indeed really skilled, but when he thought black to his loss, he couldn’t help but shake his head. 23 swords? It was around what he predicted, even exceeding it by a little.

However even after getting drunk, it didn’t work. The calculation of battle that he was best at couldn’t be used at all. Moreover, after the battle, he forgot about everything, which meant that he couldn’t use it to study his sword path and reflect.

In the past, Xuanyuan Tong said that when he fight to drink some wine as it would be beneficial to him. However, he couldn’t think of what benefits there were?

He said that it could help him comprehend martial arts and spirit merging into one, but how could such a realm be so easy to comprehend?

Who knows what basis Xuanyuan Tong got it from? If it really helped, then wouldn’t all the drunkards in the world reach that realm?

Breaking out into a smile, another explosion sounded out by his fingertips. Zong Shou was shocked to his senses. Then, he looked carefully at the lightning winged Yang snake.

It’s body had both lightning power and sun power. This fellow would be the nemesis of all spiritual beasts below grade 9 as well as those evil spirits.

What surprised Zong Shou was that this beast actually became his natural protector beast. The connection between them was stronger than his first beast. In theory, his favorite spirit beast waslittle gold. It was like they were born in the same body.

Who knows how Wei Xu managed to do that.

Natural protector beasts didn’t occupy a position of protector beast and was a dream item of a spirit master. Those were not only the benefits. The natural protector beast would never betray the master and after it is recruited, one didn’t need to spend much effort caring for it. As long as the master’s skill increased, the protector beast would be stimulated and also improve. One only needed to provide some help to be able to help raise its realm.

As for this lightning winged Yang snake, who knows what Wei Xu did. It was brimming with life, even seeming like it was going to form a mortal body once more.

Wei Xu also did some things to Little Gold, who returned back to his shoulder

They were all beneficial. Little Gold, in the pas, was used by him as a leather bag, shoving stuff in it. Although it was filled with power, its body was about to explode.

The feeling it gave him now was totally different. This leather bag changed into an iron can. Not only was it much stronger, bu the space within it also increased by over ten times.

As long as he went back and captured a few more spiritual veins, he could let it advance once more.

…was this the perks of joining the common people path? That’s not bad.

Then, Zong Shou looked into his body to observe within.

One could clearly observe that the life potential and essence energy in his body was explosively surging. The battle against a grandmaster caused his body to be totally ignited, squeezing out numerous amounts of potential.

As for the lightning Phoenix essence, it was also greatly merged in.

His cultivation could only stop at the 2nd meridian realm, which was why a large portion was merged into his body instead.

On rough estimation, even if he didn’t use true qi to purify his body, he could use 60 thousand kilograms of power! He was no weaker that middle and low grade martial ancestor realm experts.

As for the lightning Phoenix essence absorbed, less than 30% of the initial amount was left. Not long later, he wouldn’t need to seal it anymore.

This should be one of the benefits Wei Xu gave him. Zong Shou knew that he had received 23 swords from the grandmaster. It was far from enough to cause his body to reach such a level.

His mood greatly improved as he opened his eyes. He smiled as he kept the lightning winged Yang snake into his finger, leaving a shallow rune like mark.

A natural protector beast which was why it was able to merge with his body.

“KekE…this protector beast is not bad..In the future it has potential to become a dragon. Having both lightning fire and yang power, it would be a top dragon type. In the future,I’ll call it little Lei (lightning)…”

“Little Lei?”

Sitting opposite him, Xuanyuan Yiren who was observing Zong Shou carefully was speechless. A black line appeared on her jade like face.

“Little Gold, Little Lei, Little Zhi? Why must you always use little when you name? Forget it, the name isn’t bad.”

Zong Shou was instantly delighted, but then his expression dimmed,”This time it’s because I’m useless, and dragged you all down…”

Before he finished, Xuanyuan Yiren reached out to cover his mouth. Her gaze was like water, it it showed several intentions to scold him.

Zong Shou immediately kept quiet, knowing that what Xuanyuan Yiren was annoyed wasn’t the last matter but because he said that he dragged her down.

He still sighed as he exhaled. Scolding himself, if it wasn’t for today that coincidentally Wei Xu arrived, then the outcome was something he pretty much couldn’t imagine.

He really underestimated the way sects did things. In this era, where one killed without blinking, he also underestimated the demon sects.

They were vicious and toxic, far from that really weakened strength treaty shriveled up Demon Sect.

But still, he felt happy to have such a wife. What more could a husband ask for?

Just as he wanted to use this chance to continue talking to Yiren, he heard Wei Xu who was a thousand feet away, suddenly saying,”I gave you time to rest not for you to flirt. If you are ready, then we can leave.”

Zong Shou was speechlesss. He directly took an exquisite crafted wooden hairpin and stuck it on Xuanyuan Yiren’s hair.

“At most, in half a month, I’ll bring people to the cloud ocean…”

Xuanyuan Yiren wanted to speak, but when she heard that, she remained silent, only her eyes revealed a happy expression.

Since Gantian Mountain City wanted to go hunting beneath the cloud ocean, then naturally Xuan Mountain City would be involved.

Zong Shou pinched her puffy cheeks before nodding towards Wei Xu. The latter spread his sleeves, causing the space in front of Zong Shou’s eyes to change once more.

His body was still floating in mid air, roughly 20 thousand feet. In front of his eyes was a mountain peak. However, he couldn’t see through where he was. He only know that there were Mountain ranges all about, he should be deep within the mountains.

Zong Shou was startled. He thought that Wei Xu was going to bring him back to the main hall of the common people path in the cloud world, one of the extremely mysterious vast habitats.

“Senior Brother, where is this?”

Zong Shou raised his head trying to recognise this place through using the stars. Then, he frowned, this place seemed to be the east of Donglin Cloud Continent.

“Where can this be? Naturally, this is the Sufism mountain range near Cloud Saint City. You also spent quite a lot of time here before.”

Zong Shou’s brows raised. He still didn’t understand but listened as he looked upwards into the sky.

“When the Demon Mountain Sect was hunted and lost in Donglin Cloud Continent, they hid here to rest up. They are less than 2 thousand miles away from Lingyun Pill Spirit Mountain.”

Zong Shou instantly understood. Then, he was astonished, looking at Wei Xu in understanding.

The latter nodded his head slightly,”Junior Brother, why did you think I purposely led that Kui Qi out, wait for him to act and then interfere? If I wanted to help you, wouldn’t it be better to just kill him right away?”

Zong Shou smiled. He was a little curious at the start. Wei Xu did so much to use him as bait, but in the end, wanted him to personally face Kui Qi and the black shirt old man. It made him feel really weird, and he really didn’t understand what Wei Xu was planning.

“… I have a reason. It’s so that I have the moral high ground. I will have no worries when they kill! Since they made my common people path core disciple angry, they should be prepared to get wiped. If I don’t root this Demon Mountain Sect and kill them all, I won’t be at ease letting you remain in the cloud Sect alone.

When he said that, Wei Xu suddenly stepped heavily below him. Many ripples appeared in the air. A series of explosions also sounded out.

The scenes below suddenly changed. Balls of spiritual light all dissipated, an exquisite building suddenly appeared in front of Zong Shou.

Zong Shou was first astonished. He hadn’t noticed this illusion before. Then, he directly looked at the mid waist portion of the mountain.

The words “Demon Mountain sect” jumped into his eyes!

On the peak, there were several furious shouts. Many spirit masters rose in the air. Martial cultivators all gathered up in groups of 3s and 5s, but they were really spread out. Their faces wary and on alert.

There was a dark and low voice which suddenly sounded out.

“Who are you, and why are you attacking my Demon Mountain!”

A skeleton-like hand of chain claws clawed out from within the valley, reaching a thousand feet out towards where the 2 of them were at.

Wei Xu didn’t care, continuing to walk. Nearby, the tens of mountain peaks all shook.

The peak where Demon Mountain Sect was at formed a resistive force.

However, in just a moment it collapsed. The entire spiritual formation was swiftly undone. All the buildings on the peak were all smashed to pieces.

Be it those spirit masters or martial cultivators, no matter how high their cultivation were, they were spitting out fresh blood. Their bodies were on the verge of collapse. Their entire bodies turned into dust.

Zong Shou’s eyes constricted. That strike was just so overbearing. He personally witnessed 2 day wandering spirit masters and 3 ascended ancestors smashed to bits with Wei Xu!

That giant claw was also forced back by this huge force.
