When Qingming stepped out from the Vast Habitat, the original lone mountain was nowhere to be seen.

Naturally Yuanmeng’s body was totally gone too.

She could only see a layer of dust and sand as well as a giant deep hole.

There was even no aura from Yuanmeng.

Qingming’s head shook slightly, her limbs feeling cold.

That heavy and extreme sadness drowned her completely.

She had a last bit of hope as she turned her head and looked out a hundred miles.

Only to see that Zong Shou’s body was laughing and stepping in the air.

He was alone but the aura suppressed that of the world!

Qingming gritted her teeth, barely able to prevent tears from flowing down.

Her hands clenched tight, fingernails piercing into her flesh and her eyes were blood red. The sadness and depressed feeling filled her. Fresh blood flowing down from the corner of her lips.

The death of Wu Xu, the fall of Zigui, now even Yuanmeng was dead.

At this moment more and more cultivators surged out from the Vast Habitat.

Most of them didn’t know the specific situation and didn’t know that Yuanmeng had died. Their faces flushed red and they were all pumped up.

After they charged out they didn’t see any signs of Zong Shou. These people were startled and then mocking laughter spread out all over.

“Didn’t this Zong Shou say he wanted to challenge us? Where did he go?”

“How bold! One person to dare provoke our Daoling Vast Habitat. Didn’t he still escape?”

“What a joke! So the strongest person in the Cloud World would be afraid too?”

“Guys! Our Daoling Vast Habitat has never been humiliated like this over ten thousand years! If we don’t pay this back what face would we have to remain in this world?”

“In my eyes the sect should go all out to kill him!”

The people who spoke were mostly Grade-9. Among which there were a few Spirit Realm ones whose faces were ashen white.

Dozens of breaths later tens more Taoists flew out.

They were all of the Spirit Realm, their expressions were extremely ugly. One of them looked around and his eyes fell on Qingming. He moved beside her and bowed.

“Senior Master Qingming! There were changes within the Ten Thousand Soul Lamp Room. Great Senior Master Yuanmeng’s soul lamp had been extinguished. Is he…”

Only then did Qingming come back to her senses, her face was numb as she slightly nodded.

“Senior Master Yuanmeng attacked to protect the honor of our Vast Habitat. Unfortunately he failed in the end and died to Aokun!”

When those words were said out, it was like thunder, causing the thousands of Vast Habitat disciples here to turn ashen white.

It was totally silent within tens of miles.

The few Spirit Realm experts looked more solemn. Some were sad and some felt heart pained. No one else made a sound…

Only after a long while were there some noises.

“That Aokun is far away and several worlds out. No matter how fast he is, it would take a few breaths. With Great Senior Master’s ability he should have been able to end that little demon?”

“Great Senior Master has always been careful these few thousand years. He wouldn’t do something he had no confidence in. Even if he decided to take a risk he should have a high chance of winning…”

“Which means that Zong Shou was able to escape after taking a full strike?”

“This kid is really terrifying!”

“This Demon is truly our Taoist Faction’s huge calamity!”

“Great Senior Master dead, then what should our Vast Habitat do?”

Qingming slowly calmed down. She held her sword and looked up at the sky.

With Yuanmeng’s death, she was the only third generation disciple there.

She was the one with the most rights to take control of the Vast Habitat.

That wasn’t what she wanted. If it was in the past she would have definitely avoided it.

However at this moment she had no choice.

She stood solemnly, listening to the people around her showing signs of starting to fight.

Killing intent flashing in her eyes. In a chaotic world, one must be harsh! Now that the Vast Habitat was in a mess, she couldn’t use normal methods.

No matter what she couldn’t let Yuanmeng die for nothing.

She thought back to Zong Shou. One day she would kill him by her sword!

Only one of them could live!

　　※※※※

At the same time east of the Cloud World, a floating island separated from the world.

A seventy-odd years old man was leisurely sighing as he wiped out the images that appeared on the lake water.

One could see from the ripples that it was the scenes outside of Daoling Vast Habitat.

A Vast Habitat was covered in formations and restrictions. Especially so for the entrance.

It was extremely tough for one to verify whether it was real or not.

However this old man was able to use a simple lake to view the scenes within and outside from tens of thousands of miles out.

The lake light shone and in just a moment it returned back to normal.

The old man’s gaze shone in deep thought.

He was filled with happiness and also a bit of worry.

After a long while he sighed. He waved his sleeves and a scroll appeared beside him.

Following which he used his intent as a brush, gathering Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy to turn it into ink to move about on the scroll.

“Twenty years old, Young Master used his own strength to cause Daoling Vast Habitat to cower. A full half a day and no one dared to fight. He survived God Realm Yuanmeng’s strike, escaping from the dream technique with light injuries…”

A line of extremely neat and beautiful black words instantly formed.

If one looked carefully, one could notice over ten lines of similar words.

It seemed to record all of Zong Shou’s experiences…

“Four years, the Prince followed Zong Weiran to cultivate, godspeed! Comprehension extremely high, really smart, strong foundations. Able to memorize instantly.”

“Five years old, unable to gather internal energy. I snuck in and found out that he has Dual Meridian Body, broken soul, Barriers from Heaven. What a waste! Our Lu Family Sky Burning Bloodline can’t be mixed with such a bloodline like the Seven Tail Sky Fox. If he continues he would die early! If Sister knows, would she regret suffering thousand years of punishment to give birth to him? Hundreds of years of lifespan, when Sister finishes her sentence Zong Weiran would already be old and on the verge of death. Young Master would already be bones…”

“Seven years old, the Prince still trained hard but to no avail. I feel that our Lu Family teachings are correct. Sister is wrong, how can humans and gods love one another?”

“…I took matters into my own hands. Worried that he trains too hard and dies early which was why I sealed him such that he can’t cultivate. To avoid his meridians from being damaged.”

“Ten years old, Zong Yu hurt prince Zong Weiran, whipped him three hundred times and chased him out of Gantian Mountain. Zong Weiran really loves him…”

“Twelve years old, learning soul cultivation at Linhai College. Still unable to succeed as expected!”

“When the Prince was fourteen, I was ordered by Cangyan Hall Head to go to the Xuanhu World. I returned two years later to learn that Gantian Mountain had been through great change. Zong Weiran was forced into the Oblivion Cloud Ocean, his life and death unknown. I searched several times but couldn’t find him!”

“…Young Master’s experiences are really shocking. Double cultivation both increasing greatly. He broke through the Human Barrier and merged spirit and martial arts into one! I am surprised but I don’t know the reason. Looking closely there shouldn’t be any external help. Spiral meridians, what revolutionary thinking. His sword technique is exquisite, actually reaching the Soul Realm. In terms of resilience he is really unrivaled!”

“Swiftly wiping out the rebels and taking over as Monster King. Using his strength to occupy nearly half of Donglin…”

“Seventeen years old. I went in to investigate. Young Master had joined Common People Path a year ago and his other name is Tanqiu!”

“Four hundred Common People Mysterious Dragon Warriors to defeat close to a thousand Tailing Sect Dao Soldiers. Now I found out that young master is an Unparalleled General Talent!”

“Eighteen years old, using our Lu Family Sky Burning Flame to create the Lightning Blaze Thousand Flash. Looking at his bloodline it is top grade among our Lu Family later generation. If Sister finds out, she would be delighted!”

“Eighteen years old, Young Master used a secret technique to form a Dharma Body. Within Common People Path, light shone and then there was darkness and nothing could be seen. He used his soul body to defeat the second strongest sword path expert in the Cloud World. The heavens felt it and snow rained all over the Cloud World. The north walls of all Buddhist Temples fell…”

“I heard that Dari Rulai changed his Unlimited Light to Vast Light. The Buddhist future Buddha position was changed from Maitreya to Unlimited Beginning and End. I boldly predict that it has something to do with Young Master.”

“Nineteen years old, Young Master unified Donglin, wiping out Mysterious Cloud Spirit Sect!”

“During the underground lake battle, he suppressed all the talents of the Cloud World, becoming the top of the sword path!”

“Twenty years old, Night Demon invaded…”

The further on it went the more detailed it was.

Like he was following beside Zong Shou from start to finish.

At the start, he called him Prince but then it changed to Young Master.

The words were filled with respect.

A line of words written and he waved his hand, keeping it back into his sleeves.

Turning around and was right about to return back to the little house. The lake started to bubble.

Water vapor rose up and formed a water mirror behind him.

A person appeared in the mirror.

The old man’s brow rose and he was slightly shocked. He turned around and looked.

Only to see that the person within was a grey haired middle aged man wearing a rich dress. Only then did he heaved a sigh of relief.

“So it is you!”

In the next instance his brow was filled with cold disdain.

“I heard that the family head has recognized you and you became the head of a Hall. Now you are extremely famous and powerful. Why are you so free to find some disappointing person?”

“Disappointing? You asked for it. The Family Head has treated you well, even better than I, Fangjue. If you wanted, you could become a Hall Head within twenty years. Why are you even envying me?”

That person laughed, not bothering about the state the old man was in.

The old man was a little impatient, directly shaking his head, “Cut the crap. What is the matter?”

The grey haired middle aged man’s expression turned serious and then a bright glow appeared in his eyes as he looked at the old man.

“Naturally I came for Young Master!”
