Chapter 788: 30 Year Calamity

“Thank you Senior Brother for your advice!”

Zong Shou carefully kept the three pills into his sleeves.

Since the pills wouldn’t leak any medicinal properties, it was okay if he didn’t use any pill bottles.

However, he still chose the best bottle in his Heaven and Earth Bag to put these pills into.

Then, Mingyu said impassively, “Does Junior Brother have time to follow me over to the Common People’s Vast Habitat?”

Zong Shou was stunned and understood right away. Then, he smiled, “What a coincidence, I also wanted to go back to the sect!”

He knew that Mingyu had a reason for saying this. He also had something to deal with back there so it was very convenient.

Mingyu nodded his head and grabbed Zong Shou’s shoulder. The space in front of them twisted.

This place was actually extremely far away from the Cloud World. If Zong Shou wanted to go back himself, he needed to spend a lot of effort to lock down on its location to search for the source. Then, he had to cross the void which would take roughly two days.

However, with Mingyu bringing him, in just a few moments, they had returned back to the Common People’s Vast Habitat.

Zong Shou stood above the Vast Habitat and then looked downward. It was early in the morning and the sound of book reading and classes could be heard.

Naturally, it was the Qiushi and Strength Proving Halls which were the most noisy.

Such scenes made Zong Shou reminisce about the past. A Spiritual Sense reached out in the direction of the Book Hiding Hall B.

Then, he felt that the hall was tightly shut and there was no one inside.

That old man had left the Vast Habitat.

Although his Senior Brother Han was in a better state than Dragon Shadow, he also reached a stage where he had to take a gamble with his life.

Let’s hope he was able to succeed smoothly…

Zong Shou’s eyes flashed, a worried look appeared on his face before he centered himself.

Mingyu understood what he was thinking and said flatly, “Senior Brother Han has been in charge of the Vast Habitat for so many years and because of this, he delayed his cultivation. If it were Yuanjing or Fanmeng, these few Senior Masters or us Senior Brothers, we wouldn’t sit around and do nothing. Actually, don’t worry, Senior Brother is the sixteenth in the Mysterious Golden Life Book. His accumulations are extremely deep and he is the second strongest in the God Realm. He has 30% confidence in passing the tribulation!”

While saying this he bowed upward and then a giant hall appeared in the sky.

“Follow me in!”

When he walked in, his expression was solemn as he once again bowed toward the empty white tablet above.

This was Zong Shou’s second time here. He followed Mingyu and also bowed respectfully.

Then, Mingyu looked above into the sky.

Zong Shou followed his gaze, looking over and his pupils constricted.

Mingyu was looking at the God Refined Sword. It was pale gold and the sword body was covered in layers of scales.

It was just like several years ago when he had first seen it.

“Junior Brother do you want to try?”

“Eh?”

Zong Shou looked at Mingyu with a weird expression. Wei Xu had once said that one had to be Late Celestial Realm in order to control this Celestial Weapon.

Moreover, this God Refined Sword was the most top grade Celestial Sword, even close to the God Weapon level!

“Junior Brother, just try to see if you can control it!”

Before Zong Shou opened his mouth, Mingyu rushed him once more, “Although your cultivation is weaker and is only Spirit Realm, with your current strength, even those Celestial Grade Experts are no match for you! There is no harm in just trying…”

He floated in the air and tried to touch the sword handle of the God Refined Sword.

He felt that the sword didn’t reject him. Then, he grabbed it and his brow tightened. Who knows how heavy this sword was, he was not only unable to wave it, but his True Qi was unable to reach in at all.

He tried several times, but still shook his head and then flew down.

Seeing that Zong Shou wasn’t rejected by it, he was originally surprised and delighted. However, in the end, his expression dimmed and he was disappointed.

“As expected, it still doesn’t work!”

Mingyu mocked himself, he appeared to be really sad, “It was just a fantasy of mine. Your few Senior Masters couldn’t control this sword. The six Junior Brothers and Senior Brothers couldn’t too. You are just Spirit Realm, so naturally you can’t…”

Zong Shou looked to the side and felt weird, “I remembered that Senior Brother Wei Xu mentioned that if someone could control the sword, it is when our Common People’s Path will prosper?”

“Those words aren’t wrong! However, the sequence is wrong.”

Mingyu nodded slightly, explaining in a totally distracted manner, “This sword is the sword of the human path. To control it, one needs to be recognized by the Sword Spirit. The Sword Spirit was born from Master’s heart blood, it could even be said that it is a part of his soul. To be the owner of this sword, one must have the ability to revolutionize the world. At that time, our Common People’s Path teachings would have spread far and wide and naturally we would have prospered.”

Zong Shou listened quietly, thinking to himself, no wonder he couldn’t control it.

The Common People’s Path had so many Saint Realm Experts and they couldn’t do anything about this sword.

Before this, he felt that he was fated with the God Refined Sword. Only now did he realize that it was only a fantasy of his.

However, the questions in his heart remained unsolved. It wasn’t a big issue that the sword couldn’t be used, so why was Mingyu so worried?

This sword had been hanging here for 10,000 years. It wouldn’t be much of a problem to place it here for a period of time more.

“Junior Brother doesn’t know that when Master tried to go to the Cloud World to obtain that Heaven Opening Treasure, he had predicted that he would die. Thus, he crafted the seven top Celestial Swords to split amongst the six Senior Brothers and Junior Brothers to use. He said that once the seven swords merge into one, it could slay the End Realm! It would protect the luck and fate of our Common People’s Path. Unfortunately, 10,000 years have passed and its master still couldn’t be found.”

He paused, hesitating a little before saying, “30 years from now, our Common People’s Path will have a calamity. It isn’t the Taoist Faction, nor the Confucians. It was one of the enemies of Master. At most, in 30 years, he would heal up and break out. Although we don’t fear him, who knows how many disciples who we have trained for so many years will die.”

Zong Shou’s expression turned serious. For Mingyu to be so worried, this enemy was probably stronger than Xuanqing. Without thinking much, he said, “Even with Master Dragon Shadow…”

He was a member of Common People’s Path, so he had responsibility in this too.

However, before he said this, Mingyu interrupted him, “These 50 years are hugely important to Saint Venerable Dragon Shadow. Unless it is necessary, we won’t interrupt him. We can’t ask for too much! Junior Brother Wei Xu plotted against him once or twice and was okay, but if he does it again, it would become shameless. Forming a relationship with Dragon Shadow was the purpose of dealing with the factions of the Cloud World. This is our matter and we shouldn’t drag others down.”

Zong Shou was stunned once more and didn’t know what to say. If that was the case, then it was definitely a huge problem for Common People’s Path.

He couldn’t help but look toward the God Refined Sword and he felt quite depressed. If they had this sword that could slay End Realm experts and couldn’t even use it, then what was the point of it?

At this moment, the Nameless Sword in his sleeves shook.
