Divine Brilliance

Within Common People’s Path Vast Habitat, Aokun bowed gratefully to Xiuguan.

“Thank you Senior!”

With the words of this top End Realm of the Cloud World, if the Dragon Palace did anything to him, they would have to consider it.

Anyone below End Realm wouldn’t be a match for him and Aoyi.

Xiuguan felt guilty and shook his head. He said bitterly, “We owe you for helping Junior Sister Yuanjing. It is appropriate even if we helped you end your grievances of the past. However, with our current strength, this is the most we can do.”

This battle had ended and three End Realm Saint Venerables had been wiped. One of them was sealed, while Kunming and Dong Zhongsu needed 5,000 years to recover.

However, the dangerous situation they were in still hadn’t changed.

If his guesses were correct, this battle was far from over.

Before they settled down, they really didn’t have much strength to help Aokun.

Aokun was really calm and didn’t mind. He was already grateful enough deep down.

The reason why he was able to break out of the bet between Qingxuan and Dragon Shadow was because Wei Xu had led Zong Shou over.

He was also able to comprehend the Existence and Destruction Dao because of Zong Shou.

He owed him too much and today he had only just paid back a portion of it.

The battle today had already ended. The Vast Habitat was in a mess, ruins all around.

Apart from the five sword platforms and that golden pagoda, there weren’t any perfect buildings.

Although the Ten Thousand Celestial Formation was strong, it was unable to direct all the outer strength into the void.

End Realm Cultivators often needed to destroy a world for their tribulation. Although Xi Zi was a genius and was able to use a portion of the tribulation power through the formation to make it protect the Vast Habitat, there was still a portion that charged about the Vast Habitat.

At the most dangerous period of time, the formation could only protect the 170,000 Cultivators within. Thus, the learning palace suffered.

However, in the south when the final tribulation cloud scattered, a seven-colored light shone out. A strange but familiar Spiritual Sense spread out from there. The entire Vast Habitat cheered out.

“Success! Revered One has finished his tribulation and from now on he will live forever…”

“With Ancestor Xuanshuang returning and with Ancestor Yuanjing’s foundations fixed, now with Wei Xu’s tribulation succeeding, we have three joyous events!”

“Four, Kunming, Xingya, and the Saint Dong, three enemies of ours were all killed. Shouldn’t we be glad?”

“Of course! Till now, I still don’t dare to believe that we actually won…”

“All thanks to the Common People’s Seven Swords left by Ancestor Xi Zi. Our Ten Thousand Celestial Formation is truly the top protection formation in the Cloud World. However, if not for that person, our sect would have been wiped out today.”

“Tanqiu? No, it should be Zong Shou!”

Just now in front of everyone, Xiuguan admitted that Zong Shou was his Junior Nephew. Everyone naturally understood that he was a second-generation direct disciple.

He really held his weight. During this battle, Zong Shou first controlled the Nine Palace Sword Formation, and then the God Refined Sword to control the Common People Sword Formation.

His stellar achievements in the sword path were on full display.

“He is the Blood Sword Monster Lord, Gantian Country Ruler?”

“He is the savior of our Common People’s Path!”

“Only someone like him is good enough for the God Refined Sword…”

“At the start, I felt that Great Gan’s ruling method was similar to our Common People’s Path. So, Ancestor Zong is a member of our sect.”

“During this battle, the Monster Lord contributed so much! He killed 300,000 Dao Soldiers and killed Xingya and Kunming, how fantastic!”

“That Dong Zhongsu said he wanted to change history to wipe our Common People’s Path, what about now?”

“Did you hear what he swore? Although he wasn’t a Ruler chosen by the people, he knew that water can carry a boat, but also sink it. Which is why he gives the people the power to rule together. There is a difference between rich and poor, strong and weak, but no one has more rights than another. Using Law to rule such that the strong cannot bully the weak. The Ruler and the people are the same, if they break laws they are punished…”

“He swore to rule the people with equality and protect everyone under the Heavens!”

Some disciples’ eyes rose up as they described all of this. A bright glow flashed in their eyes and they thought back to the dangerous situation, heaving a sigh of relief.

“Zong Shou never felt that he was more important than others, Country needs rites and traditions but they shouldn’t be so strict to restrict those people, those words really resonated with me.”

“Ancestor Zong naturally is good, however, it is a little incompatible with our teachings.”

“Incompatible? Didn’t you see how the God Refined Sword recognized him? It is said that the sword was forged from a portion of Ancestor Xi Zi’s soul and it is pretty much a part of him. Since he recognized him, then naturally it agrees with his Dao!”

“If our Common People’s Path wants to exist in the world, we must compromise.”

“Using the law to rule the country, no matter what race, normal of Celestial, all will be treated equally! We can’t form a truly equal world but it will be fair and righteous. To be able to do that is already not bad!”

Everyone looked towards Zong Shou with different expressions. Some were warm, some grateful, some excited, and some filled with anticipation.

Zong Shou temporarily didn’t worry about that. He fully focused on suppressing that Black Qilin, using work stuff for personal gain.

This half a step to End Realm God Beast was just too strong and it was several realms higher than him.

Only today when he controlled both the Ten Thousand Celestial Formation and the Common People’s Seven Swords would he be able to suppress it. After this time, he could only rely on Xiuguan’s help.

The top End Realm of the Cloud World naturally would be able to deal with this Qilin.

However, it felt more right than he as the Master of Xiaori doing it. He was also consoling himself such that in the future when Xiaori consumed it, he wouldn’t feel much of a psychological barrier.

At this moment, the power of the entire Ten Thousand Celestial Formation was pressing onto the Black Qilin, squeezing it down layer by layer and using up all of its energy.

The Common People’s Seven Swords drew the Will of the Heavens to crush the Qilin’s soul inch by inch.

Zong Shou was really careful, afraid that he would draw too much strength such that this Saint Realm God Beast would die on the spot.

Xiaori had charged out from his sleeves, still looking like a puppy as it used its nose to inhale.

There were streaks of energy that others couldn’t see that were forcefully sucked over by it.

Qilin consumed energy to live, a proper Saint Beast Qilin ate the “Kindness” in the world and was the sign of prosperity.

The Black Qilin fed on the “Evil” in the world, it was a sign of calamity. Where it passed, the earth would dry up and chaos would ensue.

However, the two of them were really similar and they could transform one another.

Zong Shou had good knowledge about the secrets of the Qilin Race. The Black Qilin cried out in rage and hate. The abundant power and cultivation it had was weakening and decreasing swiftly.

Xiaori obtained that Source Beast Pellet, turning it into drips of liquid that flowed out and were mercilessly swallowed by Xiaori.

The latter’s aura was crazily increasing. It had originally just entered Celestial Realm, but in that short instant, he was at Peak Celestial Realm and was about to enter God Realm.

“If this puppy really swallowed the entire Black Qilin would it charge all the way to Saint Realm?”

Zong Shou felt surprised, thinking to himself that if he had a Saint Realm Qilin protecting him then it would be fantastic.

This time he really earned huge amounts by coming back.

Just as he was thinking about this, a really familiar voice spread over.

“Black and White Qilin can swallow one another, this is the first time I am seeing it. Their source converting in a flawless manner. With such an encounter, your Qilin just needs a short few days to enter Saint Realm. However, that isn’t something good. You should suppress it to God Realm. Maybe 100 years later or if it has other good encounters when its body stabilizes, then allow it to reach Saint Realm…”

The person who spoke was Wei Xu. He was filled with energy, his aura was alluring, even if he was wearing clothes of a beggar, he looked really handsome.

Zong Shou looked doubtfully towards Wei Xu and then towards Xiuguan with a questioning expression.

It made sense but he still had to ask the latter. The words of the strongest person in the Cloud World were much more reliable.

“Those words are true!”

Xiuguan smiled and walked beside Zong Shou. Once Xiaori’s aura reached God Realm he reached out and dotted onto its head.

Instantly, a seal appeared at its brow.

Although the Black Qilin Source Energy was still being absorbed by Xiaori, it didn’t strengthen its aura and Beast Pellets. It was obvious that it was sealed into its brow.

Xiaori didn’t worry about all that, heaving a sigh of relief as it continued to absorb.

Zong Shou was stunned. This fellow didn’t incur Heaven Tribulation even after entering God Realm?

“I suppressed it and delayed it by 100 days. At that time, he should be able to digest a portion of what it got this time. This place has just been through a huge war and there are remnants of many End Realm Daos. Wei Xu only just completed his tribulation here, so it isn’t a good place for it. However to comprehend the Dao here is fantastic.”

Dozens of End Realm Experts clashing here left many Grand Dao marks within the Common People’s Vast Habitat.

There was also the flesh and blood of three End Realm scattered around which was a huge fortune for cultivators.

Kunming had just died and although a large part of him was swallowed by Zong Shou’s Unlimited Beginning and End.

However, there was still a portion that was spread out. Just now, Zong Shou personally saw that piece of barren land instantly become fertile.

However, this place truly wasn’t a good one to go through a tribulation. After this battle, the Common People’s Vast Habitat would definitely be the focus of the Will of the Heavens.
