As time went on, ocean amounts of 5 Element Spiritual Energy gathered over.

It continuously changed the fire and water True Qi into yin and yang. The 9 spiritual veins that merged into his body was also starting to change due to the Essence Energy strikes of the Darkness Demon Relic.

This entire process lasted for a full day. On the second day, the internal energy that flowed within Zong Shou’s chakra meridians had turned into black and white.

Since Zong Shou deduced the new method in the Stargazing Tower, He had wanted to change his cultivation method for a while now. Only that he didn’t have any time to start until now.

At this moment, he used the power of the Darkness Demon Relic, he completed something that he would have needed to do for over 10 days, maybe even perhaps numerous months to complete. He finished it in just 24 hours.

The threads of demonic thoughts were gathering more and more within his body.

Zong Shou’s expression also slowly became violent and angry. The evil thoughts were infinitely magnified.

His eyes were blood-red, there seemed to be layers of black scale-like skin features appearing on his entire body. His aura had also become dark and burnt.

Ruoshui, Zong Yuan, and the others around were all shocked and didn’t know what to do in this situation. They didn’t even know what was happening, they could only watch on with worry. However, during this process, Zong Shou ignited the 18 Cloud Shocking God Destroying Sword Seeds in his dantian.

In that instant, numerous strong Sword Intents were being forced out, it charged along the 9 chakra meridians and shredded all the demonic thoughts and aura that in his body bit by bit.

Zong Shou resisted the intense pain this caused, in just a few cycles, all these thoughts were slowly being cleared out.

Not only did the changes to his skin stop and recover, but his expression also gradually returned to a gentler and calmer tone.

The Sword Intent continued to charge about his body, even if he shredded the demonic thoughts, only a bit of them were consumed.

Without any targets, they started to harm the inner walls of his chakra meridians.

Zong Shou’s expression turned serious again, he thought about releasing this portion of the Sword Intent outside of his body.

However, the moment this notion rose up, he felt a vast energy explode at the center of his brows. It charged down along his meridians. In an instant, it filled up his entire body.

“This is the Seed Cauldron Energy?”

Zong Shou was startled, he realized that Zhao Yanran had most probably broken through to the 7th grade.

The seed that this woman placed in him had already gathered ocean amounts of Xiantian Essence Energy during these 2 years. At this moment, it was reimbursing some to him, however, this ‘some’ amount was like a huge flood, it was as if there was no end to it.

There was also a comprehension of heaven and earth, it went towards the rune path which suddenly appeared in his mind.

A large half of which Zong Shou already knew about but there was a portion here that he had never grasped before.

A bright light flashed in Zong Shou’s eyes, following which, he broke out into a laugh.

“What a coincidence! That’s the case then! If you don’t take what the heavens give you, you will be harmed instead. Let’s see whether or not I can blast open the Heaven Gates today!”

With the barriers from Heaven upon him, not only was Zong Shou’s Earth Hates 10 times that of normal people, the Heaven Gate on his head was also the same case.

Although it wasn’t a true obstacle, but it was also extremely tough to break open.

At this moment, Zong Shou first used the Scattered Cloud Shocking God Destroying Sword Intent to smash the gates.

All of a sudden, numerous scattered Sword Intent exploded out, it stabbed numerous holes into the heaven gate.

Following this, he saw a Seal Word Talisman after the Heaven Gate.

Zong Shou was stunned, however, he only laughed coldly upon seeing it. The vast Essence Energy from the seed also charged towards the seal.

It instantly transformed into a sword shape and eradicated any traces of the seal.

When the Heaven Gate was now smooth, Zong Shou could finally sense the giant spiritual veins between heaven and earth. There were also the vast Spiritual Energy waves flowing in the stars.

In the past, he could only absorb strength from the ground but now he could borrow energy from the entire heaven and earth.

Zong Shou was shocked, this was the feeling of being an Ascended Ancestor, one that he had not felt for several years.

Taking this step meant that he was now truly in the Heaven Realm.

He first took in a deep breath and calmed down his emotions while slowly taking the feel of all this.

He knew that every time he broke through, it is when he was the most connected with the heaven and earth, this also meant that this was the moment his comprehension was at its highest.

Moments later, the spurting Essence Energy sunk into his Energy Ocean.

They slowly gathered. The moment an energy sword was about to completely form, it suddenly split and turn into a black one and a white one, it would circle around his chakra meridians.

It was filled with a bit of the Absolute Beginning’s Energy.

“As expected! Just Yin and Yang alone can’t let some things grow!”

Just as quickly as he mocked himself, he already stopped bothering about it. Instead, he focused on his soul, thinking for a moment before he got into action once more.

With a thought, tens of new runes formed. Out of the God Talismans, the lightning, fire, and water talismans started to change.

The sizes didn’t increase by much but there were more numerous spiritual lights. All of a sudden, numerous threads stretched out. Although it didn’t become the core of the talisman formation, there were many more threads as compared to the other true spiritual talismans.

The moment these 3 Heaven Talismans were formed, the Black and White holes seemed to swell up a lot too.

The fire and lightning talismans were due to his Sky Burning Blood and Lightning Phoenix Mark, this also explained why he was good at that.

After breaking through, he just needed to form once more. However, because he was worried his body would lose balance, this was why he delayed it.

The secrets that Zhao Yanran fed to him caused him to be able to form this Water Word Heaven Talisman at once.

His soul expanded and crazily swelled up. His spiritual sense also spread out and reached out all over.

Zong Shou enjoyed it while he looked at the soul within his body.

“Heaven and Earth Talismans have already merged into one, becoming a universe word. Now that the 18 talismans lack only one more, it is time to add in the Ming Word Talisman…

He also tried to use his spiritual sense to touch the Heaven and Earth spiritual energy, following which, his brows furrowed.

The barrier from heaven… the true final barrier was the Heaven Barrier before one broke through into the Celestial Path.

It was several times tougher than the Earth Barrier and wasn’t something this Heaven Gate could compare to.

While sighing, Zong Shou came back to his senses. Following shortly after, he saw the looks of joy on the faces of Zong Yuan, Ruoshui, and Feihan.

Ye Feishuang had a really weird expression on her face. “Congratulations Your Highness! Your Heaven Gate has been opened, at this point, regarding Spiritual and Martial cultivation you will have no obstacles.”

After cultivating to such a stage, his soul power had changed from Yin to Yang, his internal energy has also changed from Yang to Yin. Although there is a bit of conflict, it was still extremely different from before.

A dual cultivator’s cultivation speed would rise by several times!

Zong Shou smiled and didn’t give a reply. Moments later, his eyes suddenly turned cold.

“They’re here!”

He could sense around 20-odd auras quickly flying over from far away.

However, out of the original 3 grade-9 experts before, there were only 2 left. One of them was Luoming.

As for the original Yuanshi Demon Sect experts, a third of them were missing.

Zong Shou was shocked, however, he really didn’t care much. He retracted back his spiritual sense case they would notice. He also regained his composure.

For this battle, he just needed to kill this Luoming!

※※※※

At the east of Cloud Saint city, 6 thousand miles deep in the Cloud Ocean, within the depths of a cave.

A white-haired old man sitting at the head position sighed.

“Both of you! I have not bothered about matters of the world for many years. Although I am a Spiritual Grandmaster, but in the eyes of the true experts of the millions of worlds, I am like an ant! Do you understand? I’m only willing to cultivate in seclusion, do you really have to drag me into this matter?”

In front the old man were two calm-looking people. If Zong Shou was here he would recognize that one of them was Long Ruo.

However, at this moment, Long Ruo was silent. The one who answered was instead the other person, the first seat of the Pill Spirit Mountain, Ling Weizi.

“Why does brother Xueyun say that? This matter is connected with our Donglin world. Brother Xueyun. you are one of our famous Donglin lone cultivators, you have been connected with our Lingyun Sect for so many years, but why do you not want to join in? If the Gantian Mountain unifies Donglin, none of us will have a good time. We are only asking brother Xueyun because our Lingyun Sect does not have enough people. I know that brother Xueyun is close to the many Donglin cities in the southeast. Even if you don’t help, can you please…”

Ling Xueyun laughed coldly, he nearly wanted to mock them. What they were saying was that he had been protected by Lingyun Sect, so how could he not help them?

A moment later, he resisted it.

“Gantian Mountain’s monster king is the disciple of the Dragon Shadow. How are your Donglin Sects prepared to deal with him?”

It seemed that the Lingyun Sect wasn’t afraid of Dragon Shadow taking revenge, but Ling Xueyun had to be afraid.

The Gantian Mountain without Zong Shou would only be even more terrifying.

“The battlefield is merciless, what can he do to us?”

Ling Weizi laughed as his eyes shone. “Just in case, we will pay a heavy price to invite Yuan Wushang to help. This person is good at the sword and is merciless with his attacks. He is exactly the same as Jueyu, only that he is even more vicious. Can brother Xueyun relax now?”

“Your Lingyun Sect has already found the tracks of that Yuan Wushang?”

Xueyun’s pupils constricted as he asked. Ling Weizi smiled in response.

After thinking about it for a moment, Xueyun’s expression slowly calmed down.

“Please let me consider it…”

Ling Weizi knew that he couldn’t force him too much, he smiled once more before he took his leave along with Long Ruo.

Not long after the both of them left, Ling Xueyun’s sleeves waved. A person walked out from the caves, despite being expressionless, the person was still noble-looking.

“City Lord Zhengyuan, you saw that! It isn’t that I don’t agree with you, but the Lingyun Sect won’t give Zong Shou any chance. I really don’t think he has any chance of winning.”

Xu Zhengyuan smiled upon hearing this.

“That might not be the case! Why not wait for a while more? Maybe meet him before making your decision?”

Ling Xueyun shook his head and gave out a cold laugh.

“I will act like what happened today didn’t happen. After you return, don’t have any other thoughts. If you anger the Lingyun Sect, even I wouldn’t be able to save you. The Lingyun Sect has been around for 10 thousand years and are really strong. Far stronger than what you think!”

In his heart, he was already impatient. This Xu Zhengyuan was pulling him into the fire.

Although the Lingyun Sect had made one feel really unhappy these past few years, but there was still no need to risk one’s life.

Just as he thought this way, a thread of a hard to notice spiritual energy’s fluctuation spread over.

Ling Xueyun was shocked, he knew what was in that direction. It was a small island 3 thousand miles out from the east.
