Divine Brilliance

Seven Sword Artifacts all flew apart and scattered all around. The other six swords were still okay, however, the sword body of the fake God Refined Sword had cracks on it and numerous shrapnel flew out.

When Lin Xuanxuan, Mingyu, and the other people fell from the sky like kites with their strings sliced off, the more than 100,000 Common People’s Path Cultivators had ashen white expressions on their faces.

The excitement and anticipation from before had totally disappeared and what was left was just despair and sadness.

They were really clear what the collapse of the Sword Formation meant to them…

Common People’s Path which had spread down from 10,000 years and had hundreds of thousands of disciples was going to die just like that?

Along with the Will of the Heaven gathered by that green light disappearing, the nine End Real, Saint Venerables who were spread in the formation all felt the pressure reduced. A cold mocking intent rose up on their faces.

From start to finish, Qingxuan didn’t even take a single look at the Common People’s Seven Swords.

He stared at where the green light gathered, where Wei Xu was going through his tribulation. A moment later, his eyes squinted. “Wei Xu really hid it really deep. His core path, as expected, wasn’t the Great Sun Technique, but there is something even deeper about it…”

“It should be the Mirror Reflecting Law!”

The one who replied was Taihuang Taoist Lord. When Taishi entered the 31st layer, the Common People’s Seven Sword Formation broke apart.

It seemed like the Ten Thousand Celestial Formation was unable to restrict him anymore.

At this moment, he was easily able to step onto the 31st layer to stand alongside Qingxuan.

“This Dao doesn’t involve much of the world core and he can’t use his own ability to enter End Realm. However, for him to be able to view it is already really terrifying! He can copy billions of Dao skills and use the mirror to reflect it. If he has a Heaven Opening Artifact it is really possible for him to enter True Realm. If he enters End Realm and has someone like Xiuguan for him to model after and reflect, he will become half a Xiuguan. This kid is really scheming, who knows where he got his Great Sun Law from?”

There were a few Saint Realm Cultivators who used the Great Sun as their Dao. In the Buddhist Faction, there was Dari Rulai. Even within the Taoist Faction, there was one Great Sun Venerable.

The few of them had a really intense competition and for them to let Wei Xu reflect the entire technique meant that their relationship had to be close.

However, there was no point dwelling and discussing this matter.

“He really is talented, only below that of Xi Zi and Xiuguan! End Realm Lightning Tribulation, under the Blood Moon Knife he is actually able to survive. However, no matter what, after today he will still turn to dust.”

Wushang Yuan Demon Li Biexue had returned to the 31st layer. His brow relaxed and his expression was filled with shock.

“What I am more curious about is how you borrowed the Sky Burning Lu Family God Treasure? I heard that the Ruler who was close to the Common People’s Path is the top heir of Sky Burning Lu Family…”

Qingxuan smiled and didn’t reply. Actually, that was the reason why he was able to borrow the blade.

If not for this layer of relationship, it would be really tough for him to borrow this God Treasure.

That Great Gan Ruler Zong Shou was the Crown Prince of Lu Family. However, there were many people within the Lu Family who wanted to cut off his wings and break his helpers.

Common People’s Path was one of them and his Master was naturally the other.

Thinking about this, he leisurely turned his eyes to Dragon Shadow who was within the 23rd layer, killing intent rising up in him.

One of the conditions was not to allow this Dragon Shadow Sword Saint to leave this battle safely.

Naturally, there was that animal, that ignorant evil Dragon Aokun…

It was best that he wiped out all these problems together.

While the few of them spoke, the entire Vast Habitat started to crack apart, the breaking sounds were relentless. Numerous black cracks were formed. The thickest ones were 10,000 feet long and spread all around.

Finally, a crack formed on the 32nd Golden Pagoda and it was showing signs of collapsing.

Zhu Zi was able to reach the 31st layer without any restriction.

Looking beneath his feet at the sky layer that had been destroyed, he closed his eyes and took in a deep breath. Then, his expression became really complicated as he looked towards the broken Common People’s Vast Habitat.

“A 6,000-year wish finally came true. We finally achieved what the Sect Ancestor wanted us to. Today, we are finally able to wipe out these Confucian rebels and wipe out those extreme evil sayings…”

Killing intent shone but there was no joy in his eyes, instead, he felt slightly sad. The battle today could be seen as a Confucian Sect inner battle.

That year, the person who established the Common People’s Path with Xi Zi was actually from the Confucian Faction. Even Xiuguan was the same.

If they didn’t fragment, if not for those few people who were listed as part of the Confucian Faction walking into the evil path, maybe the current Cloud World wouldn’t have a devilish atmosphere. The Cloud World would return back to the ancient Three Era Rule. War would be over, everyone would be polite and all would live a peaceful life.

World Stepping Demon Lord Xingya saw through his thoughts and knew what he was thinking about. He mocked, “Kill the traitor? Wipe out evil? Wishful thinking!”

Not to mention how the Common People’s Path still had many disciples outside who were yet to return to the Cloud World.

The teachings of the Common People’s Path weren’t so easily wiped out.

Like the Mohists and Legalists, although they were wiped out, many books were left that were spread far and wide and believed by many people of the Cloud World.

Common People’s Path strove for equality, for there to be no difference between the rich and the poor, the nobles and the commoners, for everyone to be treated fairly.

Such tempting schools of thought were extremely tough to be wiped out.

Zhu Zi didn’t mind when he heard this, but an old voice spread out from the side, “It is indeed a little tough! However, in the future all the record books in the Cloud World won’t have Xi Zi, no Xiuguan, and no Common People’s Path…”

Xingya’s eyes constricted and he looked to the side. Dong Zhongsu also stepped up and was on the 31st layer.

That person didn’t worry about Xingya, smiling as he looked towards Qingxuan, “What does Qingxuan Taoist Lord think?”

Qingxuan had expected that long ago, he nodded his head without any hesitation, “This is what I promised. Since you Confucians want to rewrite history, then the Taoist Faction won’t stand aside and do nothing. Within the Cloud World all our Taoist books that spread about regarding history will not have the name of Common People’s Path, no Xi Zi, and no Xiuguan…”

When he heard this, Xingya was shocked and he felt a chill down his spine. This was followed by excitement.

His plan was much more vicious than when the Qin Emperor burned the books to remove Confucianism.

With those two factions working together, there really was a possibility of them wiping out Common People’s Path.

Without waiting for him to say anything, Li Biexue said expressionlessly, “Okay! After this matter, our Demon Path won’t lack behind either.”

Although the Demon Sect didn’t follow the rules and did things on their own accord, it was best if Common People’s Path, who fought for equality, was wiped out.

At this point, the nine of them all stood on the 31st sky. The nine of them all spread out with a tacit understanding.

While they spoke, they totally disregarded Xiuguan, Dragon Shadow, and the others.

Taishi wasn’t from the Cloud World and he didn’t bother about all of this, he felt really annoyed and impatient. He scoffed, “What’s the point of being so naggy? Since we are already here, then let’s pull him down! It is easy to wipe this person out but hard to seal him…”

“Cultivator Taishi doesn’t have to worry about that!”

Qingxuan laughed. With Xi Zi as precedence, naturally sealing Xiuguan was going to be simple.

This person had the Indestructible Soul and the also grasped the Eternal Dao, so it was indeed a little tougher.

However, if he wasn’t totally prepared why would he dare to start this war?

However, when Qingxuan looked towards Xiuguan, he was filled with shock.

At this point, the more than 100,000 Common People Vast Habitat disciples had given up hope of resistance. Some of them closed their eyes and kept quiet, some muttered Common People’s Path scriptures and some sat there waiting to die with ashen white faces.

Only Xiuguan, not only was he not dejected, he wasn’t sad at all. He didn’t have any reaction to those people talking about wanting to wipe them out.

He only focused beneath the 32-layer Pagoda.

His eyes were brimming with life, filled with indiscernible joy.

“Unfortunately, you all were slightly late! I am the one who won the battle today!”

The moment he said this, those words were like thunder to their ears.

Slightly late? Xiuguan won today?

What did that mean? Was this top person of the Cloud World crazy after being unable to accept the outcome?

What kind of methods could Xiuguan have to turn the tables?

Xingya instinctively wanted to laugh once more. He retracted it and looked below.

His gaze first went past Dragon Shadow at the 23rd layer and then Lin Xuanshuang at the 22nd.

Although they were both injured and slightly weak, both of them were excited.

Then, was Lin Xuanjing, who was at the 21st later. This Yuanjing Cultivator laughed out maniacally, not caring at all that she was a woman.

“Success! Success! So that was the case, so that was the case. The Heavens bless our Common People’s Path from being wiped out! Senior Brother Xi Zi, you idiot…”

The laughter was unrestrained and was filled with joy.

His heart sank and looked at the bottom at an ordinary-looking teen who stood in front of a purple-gold sword covered in blood. His expression was solemn as he grasped the sword handle.

He was actually unable to see through this kid’s strength. He should have used some technique to grasp Saint Realm Power. His original cultivation should be between Celestial Realm and God Realm.

At this moment, for some reason, this teen gave out an aura which made him feel threatened.

“God Refined Sword? Tanqiu?”

Although he hadn’t seen the real God Refined Sword before, Xingya was able to recognize it right away.

Tanqiu had given him a deep impression 10 days ago.

What was going on? Xiuguan was relying on this teen.

In the next instant, a clear ring sounded out throughout the Vast Habitat.

“Although I am not an elected Ruler, I know the theory of how water can capsize a boat but also allow it to travel. Which is why I give people the power to rule together. Under me, there is a difference between rich and poor, strong and weak but no difference in rights. Using law to rule the country such that the strong can’t bully the weak. Ruler and people are the same; if they sin, they will be punished…”

The voice wasn’t filled with True Qi, but for some reason, it pierced past the clouds. It could still be heard 10,000 miles away.

At this point, the entire Common People’s Vast Habitat was shaking. The six sword intents which were already scattered charged up into the sky once more.

The Might of Heaven and Earth that disappeared once again descended down on the Vast Habitat!
