Divine Brilliance
chapter-789

At first, Zong Shou didn’t feel anything, he only noticed it when the shaking got stronger and stronger.

A crisp sword ringing sound came from his sleeves and echoed in the Ancestral Hall.

Zong Shou couldn’t help but laugh, “Do you think so too? This sword is really good, unfortunately, it is of no use to our Common People’s Path…”

The Nameless Sword was shaking, who knows whether it was agreeing with Zong Shou or opposing what he said?

Zong Shou found it weird, he thought he was right and just patted the body of the sword.

“Don’t worry! Your Master doesn’t want this sword.”

The Nameless Sword could utilize souls to strengthen various spells. Although its body wasn’t especially strong, it was unusually sturdy.

It also had the ability of evolution. At the start, when he first received it, it was just an Intermediate Grade Magical Artifact.

Now, it was at the High Grade.

To Zong Shou, the value of this sword was not below that of the God Refined Sword! Sooner or later, it could also become a Celestial Artifact.

Speaking of which, this Common People’s Path Ancestor, Xi Zi, really was weird.

Since he knew that he was in danger of dying, the sword formation he left should have been able to protect the sect.

Why did he create such a sword that had such strict requirements and was of no use at all.

Only one thing was weird. This was the fact that to date, he still didn’t know where his sword came from?

That day he was in the Common People’s Vast Habitat, this sword just suddenly fell in front of him.

Oh right! Senior Brother had been protecting the area near the Cloud World, he might know about it?

The Nameless Sword continued to ring, its sound started to become deeper. It seemed really pleased, but it also sounded like it was a bit sad. Anyway, it slowly calmed down.

Zong Shou didn’t take it to heart. Right as he was about to open his mouth to ask, Mingyu spoke first, “Zong Shou, do you know about Senior Master Yuanjing?”

When Zong Shou heard this, he looked over with a weird expression.

Cultivator Yuanjing Lin Xuankong, one of the few ancestors of the sect, the Ancestor of Taiyuan, how could he not know?

Why did Senior Brother Mingyu ask him about this for no reason?

“Do you know about how Senior Master Yuanjing used a short cut to enter the End Realm 20 years ago?”

Mingyu asked, his expression was fluctuating, “Her lifespan was about to end and the Spiritual Wave was about to rise. Our Common People’s Path badly needed combat strength. However, her foundations weren’t complete and were much weaker than End Realm. After 100,000 years she would be in danger of dying…”

There was actually such a matter?

Zong Shou kept silent and thought back. Thinking back to what happened after his battle with the Mysterious Cloud Spirit Sect, his eyes displayed an expression of understanding.

“Senior Brother wants me to invite Brother Ao to help her fix her Dao Foundations?”

Mingyu didn’t continue as if he silently admitted it. His eyes looked over in anticipation. Zong Shou shook his head solemnly, “Junior Brother naturally won’t push aside this matter! However, Brother Ao won’t be distracted before he totally ends all his enemies and probably won’t care about this matter. Even if he agrees, he won’t be able to do it in the near future. Without comprehending the Creation Dao, one won’t be able to grasp the Existence Dao. Brother Ao is still lacking a lot…”

Although he said this, his heart moved. Although Aokun couldn’t do it, maybe he himself could?

Creation Destruction as well as Absolute Beginning and End were largely related and were compatible with one another.

The Existence and Destruction Dao needed Cause and Effect, Fate, Time, Space, etc., all these Grand Daos.

Aokun was missing some, but he had them all…

Although his core Dao didn’t include Existence and Destruction, it was still Dao. 3,000 Grand Dao’s Dao! The most simple Dao!

Although this Existence and Destruction was strong, it was also one of the Grand Daos!

Maybe he could give it a try?

However, for him to reach that step and have enough strength to help her fix her foundations would require time…

Zong Shou was in total silence, but Mingyu treated it like he was fretting about the matter. He couldn’t help but sigh, “That is true. Not only is this Creation Dao hard to find, Aokun has a strong desire to take revenge. If he injured himself once more to help Senior Master fix her foundations, people might take advantage of it. There isn’t a rush to complete this matter. I was too anxious, there is no need for you to pay attention to that.”

After he said these words, he walked out of the Ancestral Hall with a heavy heart.

Zong Shou waited for Senior Brother to finish and was about to speak when he saw that he had stepped out of the void and left the Common People’s Vast Habitat.

“The outer region is different from the Cloud World and there are many experts. There are many who are able to stand on your level. You do need to be careful outside! If you face problems and aren’t able to handle them alone, you can ask us for reinforcements.”

Zong Shou was shocked and laughed. Senior Brother really left too quickly.

He had many things to say and many questions to ask.

Then, he stopped worrying too much. Actually, it was too early for him to say that he could help Senior Master Mingyu.

Rather than say it, why not put one’s heart into it. He only needed to spend some time studying this path and once he reached Saint Realm, everything would fall into place.

He wasn’t in any hurry to find out the background of the Nameless Sword.

Someone who was willing to give this sword to him must have been someone close to him.

Although Mingyu’s voice was still there, his aura had long disappeared.

Zong Shou thought that he should no longer remain in the hall. He turned around and looked at the God Refined Sword and Mysterious Golden Life Book before shaking his head and walking out.

In the next moment, he appeared outside of Book Hiding Hall A.

This was the true restricted area of the Common People’s Vast Habitat. Its importance was even above that of the Technique and Method Teaching Pavilions, only lower than that of the Ancestral Hall.

It had its own Spiritual Formation and restrictions. When Zong Shou arrived, he was slightly blocked.

However, with his identity, he could move about in the Vast Habitat with no problem.

A Spiritual Light flashed, seemingly sensing and confirming with the Mysterious Golden Life Book in the Ancestral Hall.

The formation and restrictions here were opened for him.

Zong Shou stepped in and looked about curiously.

He did have the rights to enter this place in the past. However, he had just entered the Earth Realm and it was useless even if he entered. Only today did he have enough strength to study the books within.

However, it was a 10,000-foot small world. Although it was a book depository, there weren’t many books.

Most of the shelves had jade scrolls.

The books carried the Dao. The books here were all the most precious collections of the Common People’s Path.

Without enough paper to record, they could only use these scrolls to carve down using Spiritual Sense and Intent.

Although there were many areas that were lost, it was better than nothing.

Zong Shou picked up scroll after scroll. He didn’t focus on understanding, but on memorizing all the contents within.

When he faced some especially interesting and helpful bits, he would study closely.

He didn’t lie when he told Mingyu that he had a matter, which was why he had to return to the Vast Habitat.

Before he left the Cloud World, what he cared about most were the books he hadn’t managed to read in the Vast Habitat.

Since he would be unable to come back for 20 years, naturally, he had to prepare.

The books within this building were what he cared about most.

After 30 minutes, a flame glow suddenly flashed and appeared behind him.

“I was thinking who it was to be able to enter Book Hiding Hall A. So it was you…”

Shui Lingbo’s voice was filled with surprise, but also a smug tone, “I haven’t congratulated Ruler for stepping into Spirit Realm. In the battle at Gantian Mountain, using your Flying Knife to kill several Celestial Realm Experts, how cool! I think this Cloud World can’t hold you any longer…”

“Junior Sister, you praise me too much!”

Zong Shou broke laughed as he continued to pick up jade letter, after jade letter. He swept using his Spiritual Sense while teasing Shui Lingbo.

“Is it so difficult for you to call me Senior Brother? Speaking of which, although I am forced out of the Cloud World, some people don’t even have the right to be. Sigh, sigh!”

Shui Lingbo was furious and gritted her teeth. She asked, “You are scanning like one admiring the scenery, but what are you actually looking for?”

“I am not looking for anything, I am just memorizing it!”

One couldn’t blame her for not comprehending that once one reached Spirit Realm, essence and quality were most important.

Turning complicated into simple, to focus on 1-2 Daos. Learning too much and learning things that were too complicated could sometimes become obstacles, rather than actually being helpful.

The moment he said this, as expected, she didn’t understand. Zong Shou wasn’t willing to explain. The path he chose was the Dao word.

…The Dao of the Heaven Path, the Dao of the 3,000 paths, the Dao in making the Grand Path simple, the Dao that included everything.

He changed the topic, “However, I am also searching for whether or not there are techniques to seal Spiritual Sense and True Qi!”

“Seal Spiritual Sense and True Qi? What do you need that for?”

After saying this, she sized up Zong Shou and understood.

Before stepping into Spirit Realm, she had 10 years of accumulation. She could easily grasp her new strength.

Zong Shou cultivated too quickly, his speed could be said to have reached the Heavens in one step. In a short few years, he had already became a Spirit Realm Expert.

However, his strength was much greater than people of the same grade.

He now charged right to the Late Spirit Realm, obviously being unable to control his True Qi and Soul Power.

Zong Shou had probably sensed that and wanted to search for these types of techniques.

Thinking for a moment, she flashed into the distance to a shelf. She threw a jade scroll toward Zong Shou.

“This is the Seven Cycle Xuantong Full Restriction! It is best for you. You can restrict yourself to train slowly. It has Seven Cycles to help you reach the smallest detail. If you face a battle, you can also instantly unlock and fight all out. It is not bad!”

Zong Shou picked it up, sweeping with his Spiritual Sense and instantly he was filled with joy.

“Thanks!”

Shui Lingbo really knew what he wanted.

What he needed was such a cultivation method and he was filled with gratitude toward her. If not for her, he would have had to search for this method amongst all of these scrolls, taking dozens of days.

He could at most spend two months in the Cloud World. If he wasted too much time here, he wouldn’t have enough time for doing other things.

She scoffed coldly and headed out of the door before she spoke up once more.

“The outer region is dangerous, be careful. You are the famous Blood Sword Monster Lord, don’t die outside!
