Whilst the thunder bellowed, Zong Shou hurried back to 1st Courtyard A.

His expression was a little weird. When those 134 people all made their oaths, there were 9 of them who instantly broke through to grade 7. The other 100 all had some improvements, stepping to the cusp of grade 7!

Originally, most of their hearts were dead. However, at that moment they were filled with fighting spirit and determination.

And the aura of the hundred over people gathered together. The glow from their vital energy was so vast that it forced the formless god demon to back off, shocking ones hearts.

“Ruler! Senior brother Xue is an extraordinary person…”

The one who spoke was Zong Yuan. At this moment his eyes were filled with shock and respect.

Zong Shou acknowledged, but he didn’t agree or not. Originally when he saw those disciples who were released by Tailing Sect, his first thought was that a majority of them were useless. 20 years of imprisonment and torture had curved their spines. Even if their cultivation was there, they were not going to be of any use.

However, with just a few words and actions, it caused these people to have a new faith, new support, finding their energy and soul, not as dejected as before.

Xuexi’s 3 oaths were not his hatred.

No wonder Hanfang would place such high hopes on that person. Within the common people’s path as expected, it was filled with talents.

Who knows. Maybe someday, Tailing Sect might be destroyed in that person’s hands.

He was also looking forward. Xuexi’s return was because of him. Based on the butterfly effect, the wind he, as the butterfly, caused was getting larger and larger.

Not only did gantian Mountain not become weaker and chaotic, but it was also rising. Common people’s paths didn’t fail at Yan City Pass. Dealing with Yuan Jiuchen several years earlier. And today there was one more Xuexi that swore to wipe out Tailing Sect.

Who knew how this future would turn out to become?

Zong Shou, himself, didn’t feel too nervous, he also didn’t feel any guilt. So what if history gets messed up. What does he have to worry about? A different god-emperor era was what he wanted, he wanted to see the cloud world burn.

Squinting his eyes as he looked at the fake clear sky above. The lightning had already dissipated. The dark clouds that gathered over were all nowhere to be seen.

Zong Shou suddenly broke out into a laugh. Coming to this world and using the name Zong Shou to live meant that he needed to struggle, to fight against his destiny and fate!

All this way, he finally didn’t end up like the last life where he was beheaded with no one to collect his corpse.

However, there were more things he had to account for.

Yiren, Chuxue, Ruoshui, Zong Yuan… These people were people he had to care about. He couldn’t give up on Gantian Mountain City. Joining in common people’s path, he couldn’t stand by and not bother about the rise and fall of the sect.

His body was feeling heavier and heavier, like a cacoon tightly wrapping around him, unable to take the weight.

To a sword expert, who knows was it a blessing or a curse.

Just as he was slowly losing focus, his thoughts going chaotic. He suddenly heard a soft scoff, “Such a young age why are you having so many random thoughts? Unless we break through to the end realm we can’t truly control our fate. People like you are just ants in front of the big path. There is no need to purposely place down things and there’s no need to carry those burdens that you don’t need to carry. You just need to try your best and follow your heart. Wherever you walk would be wherever you go…”

Zong Shou was jolted to his senses, looking stunned at the sky. Only to see the old man who was standing beside Hanfang was proudly standing in the air, looking over with cold disdain.

However his tone was filled with mockery, his gaze was light and cold.

“Awake? It is good that you are awake! However, you are just a little fish that is struggling to jump out of a big river. Not knowing how small you are to the people on the shore, how amusing you are! Have you heard of xuanjing? When it is born it is just the size of the middle finger, hiding deep in the river. It slowly grows big, following where the current guides it. Ten thousand years later, it grows ten thousand feet, starting waves and making gusts, swallowing mountains and rivers, traveling the space and the void. People like you, who don’t have enough power, would at the river you will be picked up and eaten!”

Zong Shou’s heart jumped. This old fellow seems to be even stronger than Hanfang, able to hear his thoughts. He retracted all his thoughts, letting his soul sink and shrink back. In the next instance, the old man casually threw a crystal over.

“Take this item. I, Weitian, don’t like to owe people favors! I thank you for Xi’er’s matter!”

After he threw that item, the old man wanted to leave. Before he was about to, his body stopped and he smiled, “You’re a little interesting, kid. If you want to jump out then learn from the xuanjing, stabilize your foundations before speaking.”

Zong Shou’s lips curled up, bowing respectfully, “Thank you, senior brother, for your advice! However junior brother heard that this xuanjing swallow millions of food in the ocean every day!”

When Weitian heard that he laughed out loud, “Cultivators like us should do that! Fight for spiritual medicine, fight for treasures, fight for luck, fight for the grand path. The big fish swallows the small fish is always the true theory. That is all I got to say today, junior brother take care of yourself…”

When Weitian said those words, he was nowhere to be seen anymore.

Zong Shou felt grateful. Weitian’s words had solved his heart knot and removed the huge stone on his chest.

In the next instance, the corner of his eyes saw Chuxue who was holding the black stone qilin baby in her hands, staring at him with a wronged expression.

Zong Shou’s heart jumped, his body flashed, “Today I am going into seclusion! Don’t disturb if it isn’t important!”

Without waiting for Chuxue to react, he charged into the room like that of wind before heavily slamming the door shut.

Just as he sat down Zong Shou saw Chuxue standing by the window pouting. She stared with her watery eyes right at the inside.

Zong Shou was feeling more and more guilty, acting like he didn’t see anything whilst he took out the crystal that Weitian had left him.

It was the size of a thumb, threads of blue spiritual light spread all about.

“It is a legacy crystal?”

Zong Shou was slightly shocked, he tried placing the blue crystal in between his brows.

A long while later did he shift the stone away, his eyes filled with awe.

Inside it was all Weitian’s experiences and comprehensions on the spiritual cultivation path. It was a complete spirit master legacy.

After joining the common people path, he didn’t lack spirit master books. If he didn’t understand anything he could find someone to teach him.

However, it was far from something like this legacy crystal, the drawings of all talismans, the key points to spell combat, the comprehension of the heaven and earth grand path.

Moreover, it had the entire process of Weitian forming dharma when he was in the god realm.

“This item is a life savior, how worth it!”

Exclaiming, Zong Shou kept it. Then, he took out a jade ornament, the one he had gotten from the Hanking.

That highness had no experience and knowledge whilst Zong Shou had seen this item in the vast books of the library.

Smashing it with a palm, as expected at the core area of the jade ornament a few drops of jade-colored liquid flew out.

Zong Shou used true qi to collect them, and his eyes were filled with joy.

As expected, it was that thing-jade core spiritual milk.

In the next instance, 3 more golden pellets appeared in Zong Shou’s hand.

It was one of the 24 lotus seeds of the ganli purple gold lotus.

Unfortunately, Yiren wasn’t here, if not this pill refining genius would make these 2 spiritual items into pills and could double its effectiveness!

Speaking of which, whether or not the ganli purple gold lotus and the jade core spiritual milk were compatible or not was something he didn’t know.

Zong Shou didn’t hesitate to consume both of them. At this moment he was valiantly trying to improve to breakthrough, to try to form his dharma. He didn’t have so much time to wait.

The moment these 2 spiritual items entered his body, Zong Shou felt his stomach hurt, following which it spread all over his body. The ganli purple gold lotus spread out into wild spiritual energy and directly headed into his bones and muscles. One one side it mercilessly destroyed all the bones, tendons, the meat of his body. On the other, it pushed his body to continuously recover it.

The time it took for the jade core spiritual milk to spread out was a little slower. However, when it did, it suppressed the pain. It continued to strengthen the muscles that were destroyed hundreds of times by the wild spiritual energy. Although the effects weren’t obvious it was more gentle and all-rounded, a bit by bit strengthening.

Zong Shou was enlightened, calming himself down. Using all his strength to lead the medicinal powers towards his 4 limbs and his bones.

This time could be considered to be the most simple out of all the times that he consumed spiritual items.

A load of time passed until Zong Shou felt that there were no more changes in his body did Zong Shou open his eyes.

Looking at the sky outside, he knew that it was the morning of the 7th day.

Looking at his hands once more, he saw that apart from the original jade white, there was a thread of gold on the surface of his skin.

3 ganli purple gold lotus seeds caused several threads of pure wild spiritual energy to remain in his muscles and bones. And that jade core spiritual milk not only strengthened his body, it also healed all his hidden injuries. It even repaired his broken soul largely.

Zong Shou smiled and knew that his physical body was no different from a grade 7 spiritual weapon.

His physical body had solidified, his soul was recovering. Next would be working towards the earth grade 9th layer of the world shocking spirit art as well as preparing to form his dharma.

Just as Zong Shou was about to take out the blazing glass pearl and the extreme dark chill energy pearl, the dragon-shaped tattoo on his arm started to heat up.

Zong Shou was instantly delighted, his body flashing like that of an afterimage. In just a hundred breaths he was outside the common people path palace. Riding on the lightning winged serpent, flying 6 hours to rush to the abyss.

The moment he reached here he saw a green shirt teen waiting with his arms by his side. Zong Shou’s brows rose, filled with confusion.

“You are Aokun?”

Aokun was the name of the evil dragon that the dragon shadow the old man told him.

“That’s right!” That teen smiled and turned around, he was holding an item in his hand.

Zong Shou’s pupils constricted, it was a green hornless dragon baby.
