Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Within this world border void area, there was no feeling of distance. Often, one felt they had walked a thousand feet although it was just one step in reality. Sometimes one only walked ten feet but you were a thousand feet from your original point.

This spirit river had numerous branches. A portion of the spirit water flowed to other spots. Naturally, it also included a portion of the beasts and evil beings and demons.

In this spirit power river, it wasn’t smooth. There were numerous invisible forces blocking, causing some grade 8 and above beasts and evil beings to be unable to enter.

Even with those under grade 8, sometimes some would pass through these invisible barriers and flow through the spirit river.

“Legend has it that during the ancient cloud desolate era, a huge war left the cloud world with a thousand holes. This was why the 5 cloud world end realm experts built these 5 vast habitats to each suppress one area to become the barrier of the world. It seems like this rumor is probably true…”

Zong Shou was thinking many random thoughts in his mind whilst he looked around. Until he saw that above was yet another intersection. However, it wasn’t the branch but it was a few raging spirit rivers all gathered at one spot.

He first stabilized that seven-star spell altar, it’s position was just nice where the spiritual wave gathered and form a whirlpool.

“This will be the spot! Any further in front and it should be the world abyss!”

“World abyss?”

Zong Yuan’s brows rose up, he had never heard of such a name.

Zong Shou didn’t try to explain, he had never come to the spirit river, but he was very familiar with the world abyss.

In the future, if one hadn’t reached the celestial realm, to want to proceed to other worlds, one could only drive spirit boats from this world abyss. One world abyss was connected to tens of worlds.

He had entered and exited it tens of times, sometimes purely for traveling to go to other worlds to sightsee. Sometimes it was to hide from enemies and he had no choice to temporarily leave the cloud world. This was why although he didn’t know it like the back of his palm, he was familiar with it.

He knew that in this era there were probably several extremely strong evil beings there that he at this moment definitely couldn’t handle.

The spell altar halted. There were numerous spiritual veins that gathered and were attracted to the altar.

The amount of spiritual energy here in the spirit river was something that even the vast habitat couldn’t compare to. At this moment the spell altar’s attraction of spiritual energy made Zong Shou feel that his soul power could manipulate numerous types of spiritual energy—like his body was the owner of this place, his strength greatly increasing.

He knew that this was the illusion caused by the spiritual energy being too thick. Zong Shou didn’t care, casually flicking his sleeves and his several spirit pets flew out.

The Lightning winged flood dragon and Little Gold directly attached to his body. When the demon eye silver bear didn’t show itself, it turned into a soul stone.

As for the rising moon lion it hid in a bag on his body. It also came from the Ant Zhenren, a type of small heaven and earth bag known as the spirit beast bag.

It was also above grade 7 but needed to be made my beast leather from a beast which had powers in both space and time. Although the value of the ingredients was several times stronger, it only was a thousand feet large.

However the spirit beast bag could not only place dead beings inside, but alive creatures could also be placed, even being able to cultivate within.

The Ant Zhenren brought 2 of them on him to carry his demon fire crystal ants across the cloud ocean from the central continent to Donglin.

After Zong Shou took it, there were several thousand demon fire crystal ants. Although the queen died, these crystal ants were still alive and kicking. Just cleaning them out took a lot of effort.

Near this whirlpool, there were also several beasts and evil spirits that were attracted by the whirlpool.

Zong Shou took a look around, and his eyes lit up. Not far away. there was a grade 7 snow spirit whale that was following the spirit river and was charging down.

He knew that although this being’s body was huge, its combat strength could only be considered average. It just relied on its strong body to bully people of the same grade. However, it couldn’t do anything against strong, fast or smaller sized beasts.

However, it’s entire body was filled with treasures. Just one whale could be compared to 4 grade 7 beasts.

Zong Shou was delighted. He also forgot that he was just at grade 6 spiritual cultivation, the peak of the Return to Sun realm. He had a thought and the lightning winged flood dragon directly charged up.

During the battle against the demon fire crystal ants, this lightning flood dragon was being tied down from start to finish, unable to go all out.

At this moment it was able to show its strength. Several thousand feet long lightning shook out from its body. A few of the grade 5 and 6 beasts around, just the ripples from the lightning caused their bodies to numb up, unable to move and even dying on the spot.

Then they heard a thunder as the surrounding spiritual energy was intensely swirling.

The lightning winged flood dragon and that snow spirit giant whale clashed. The former directly flew backward, the soul of the flood dragon also retracted back into its body. The small lightning winged flood dragon whose body wasn’t even 120 feet long. At this moment, its eyes were cloudy, golden stars shining.

The snow spirit giant whale seemed fine, rooted to the spot. However, due to the purple lightning clashing its soul, it fell unconscious. At that moment the demon eye silver bear roared out. At the center of its brows, 3 silver glows shot out—one after another striking into the same spot. It directly pierced a giant bloody hole in the head of the snow spirit giant whale.

That snow spirit giant whale also suddenly awakened, angrily twisting and moving its body to smash towards the seven-star spell altar. A hard to see rising moon lion suddenly appeared beneath its stomach. Its sharp claws swung out and struck at its body, opening up a shocking bloody hole at where its heart was at.

Little Zhi had relied on the spirit salamander blood, and its body had already advanced to grade 5 realm.

After, Zong Shou decided to drop those few drops of mysterious yin dragon blood into its body. However, the rising moon lion didn’t merge. Like Little Gold, it chose to swallow.

At this moment it still wasn’t completed, its body seemed to become like a shadow, like a mist. The innate power of the rising moon lion became more and more exquisite—like an extremely strong Assassin when it was hiding. It was impossible to find any trace of him, but when he appeared, it would be a lethal moment when he chooses to land a fatal blow!

The tiger claws waves, like a giant chisel smashing deeper and deeper into the body of the snow spirit whale.

The latter was shocked, frantically flinging around its body to try to fling the rising moon lion out. Then it roared out furiously. Numerous ice arrows gathered in the void charging right at the rising moon lion.

Zong Shou smiled as he pulled out the sword. A platinum dragon shadow appeared behind his back, an extremely sharp white-colored sword light appeared in the sky. With a flash, it destroyed those tens of millions of ice arrows! He scoffed coldly, a thread of fresh blood seeping from his lips.

“Zong Yuan!”

Without needing him to instruct, Zong Yuan charged up into the air. A purple spear charged through the air. First numerous hundred feet purple lighting exploded out, following which they retracted to a spot. Like it was not going to return, going all out.

In the next instance, this spirit river was covered in a bloody glow. A loud painful cry broke out. Zong Yuan stabbed in through the wound that was formed by the demon eye silver bear using the Geng metal shuttle. It causing that wound to expand, directly hitting the skull.

It caused the giant whale to enter panic. At this moment, Zong Shou’s lightning winged flood dragon had recovered and once again formed its dragon soul body, smashing over with its head.

Zong Shou relaxed slightly and knew that after this battle, he would obtain at least 1400 merit points.

The snow spirit whale wasn’t an evil being and killing it wouldn’t give them merit points. However one could use the items around its body to exchange.

Also, the whale oil within its body, when made into snow spirit ambergris was much better than those purple sandalwood, several times stronger. Be it using it to have a spirit battle or using it to cultivate they were effective.

However, at this moment, he didn’t feel happy. Within his body blood charged about. Splitting those ice arrows and saving the rising moon lion made him sustain an enormous recoil that directly hurt his body.

Without borrowing Wei Xu’s strength and without Dragon Shadow old man’s protection, in front of true grade 7 experts, he was so fragile. He had overestimated himself.

To obtain those 35 thousand merit points won’t be easy. He had the lightning winged flood dragon whose combat strength was 2 grades and he still had to pay such a high price to kill this grade 7 giant beast which had so many weaknesses. As for other strong beasts and evil beings he didn’t dare imagine.

…However, this place was a perfect place to train his sword technique.

Zong Shou held the fire yin sword, the glow in his eyes slowly retreated, instead it was filled with fighting intent.

…

At the end portion of the spirit river, where the 10 large spiritual waves gathered into a spirit ocean.

Xuanye’s brows were tightly furrowed, filled with rage.

“You all plotted against others and failed! Instead, he thought you all a lesson? That person used your tricks against you. Using the 3 colored heart charming grass to charm all your senior sisters?”

Seeing the embarrassed faces of Yongqin and Chenrou in front of her, Xuanye couldn’t help but rub her temples.

A moment later she grumbled, “we did it because we felt unfair from your junior niece. With your talent and personality, everyone in the common people path’s 3 sects and 6 schools knows you? Who isn’t happy with you? Those seniors can’t see that and let a small kid stay there. He’s just a 15-year-old kid. What rights does he have to be the first seat of our common people’s path? Even that Xie An and Luoshi those 2 pigs are better than him!”

Viciously clenching her fists, “He’s such a hatable person! Doesn’t he know that our Seven Spirit sect disciples are most afraid of relationship and urges? Once we are touched it can’t be stopped? It was okay to use the three colored heart charming grass on them, but he didn’t bother and continued walking away. How despicable! He wanted to torture them…”

When Xuanye heard that she shook her head helplessly. Following which she smacked Yongqin on the forehead.
