Divine Brilliance

The Saint Fire Soldier Ants were extremely quick, good at using the blade arms that extended from their limbs to kill. Their shells were really tough and a saint white silver flame burned around their bodies.

Zong Shou frowned. It really wasn’t an easy matter to help these ants design a Dao Soldier formation.

So, he stopped being distracted and he refocused to the area in front of him.

Although this Blood Flame Island was leveled out by the spirit masters under him, the spiritual veins still existed within.

The spiritual energy was really thick, no lower than any other Spiritual House.

To leave it empty was just such a waste. They couldn’t just wait for the Demon Path Blood Flame Sect to come back and take it over again right?

“Senior Brother Mingyu, why doesn’t your Common People’s Path take over this place?”

Mingyu seemed to expect Zong Shou saying that, he shook his head, “We have no use for it! Thanks to Junior Brother each of the six schools have their own mountains, the three sects also each have a branch. We have too few disciples and having too many spiritual lands is not good. Not only would we not be able to defend them, but other people might take the chance to attack us…”

Zong Shou frowned and wasn’t really surprised. Common People’s Path had indeed too few disciples and to occupy half of the more than twenty Demon Path sect mountains was already their limit.

To lay out the spiritual formations once more, to send disciples to defend would split up the sect’s strength.

He didn’t try to persuade him at all, raising his head as he looked into the sky.

Before he even said a word a teen appeared thirty thousand feet away.

“Ruler forgive us, the Sword Sect is the same too, our situation is even worse than the Common People’s Path. Occupying six spiritual lands is already our limit. We have no other way…”

Zong Shou didn’t know whether to laugh or to cry. Such a cultivation land was something all cultivators craved for.

However, now both the Common People’s Path and Sword Sect were afraid and avoided it.

Their foundations were just too shallow, even if they had the upper hand now in the Cloud World they wouldn’t be able to greatly expand their strength.

The difference between them and the Taoist Faction and the Demon Path was huge.

Sword Sect and Common People’s Path couldn’t take it but the Buddhist Faction definitely would be able too. The Buddhist Faction had always been suppressed by Taoist Faction. In this region of the world, they were much stronger than Taoist Faction.

They would definitely be able to accept this Spiritual Mountain.

However, the moment such a thought rose up, a Buddhist call rang out.

“Unlimited Beginning and End! Buddha’s kind intent is something we accept. However, our Buddhist philosophy is to raise believers and disciples to make the world a pure place. Although this island is good, it is far away and there are no people here. It would be a burden for our Buddhist Faction…”

In simple words they didn’t like it as it was too secluded and there were too few people, unable to recruit disciples. It was useless even if the Buddhist Faction took it so he could only shelf it.

However, speaking of which the Buddhist Faction temples were either at famous mountains and areas with many people all in huge cities to gather worshippers.

There were really few in the wilderness.

Zong Shou couldn’t help but feel his head hurt. Great Gan needed to have enough spiritual lands to support their large amounts of cultivators and spirit masters.

However, they didn’t have a use for this place either. Before this, he had selected a few really good ones which were already enough.

Even though there was a need for more, such a place which was so far from country land and couldn’t be called upon swiftly wasn’t something that he liked.

The problem was that the remaining Demon Path Sects were all far from the Cloud Continent and really secluded.

He couldn’t occupy them one by one and then let the Demon Path take them back. That would go against what his purpose was…

He took in a deep breath and then he said in deep thought, “I remember that there were a few factionless sects nearby…”

The so-called factionless sects referred to sects being set up by factionless cultivators and didn’t belong to either of the six factions.

Similar to Kongqi Sect which learned a bit of Mohist Faction legacy and survived in the cracks of the six factions.

However, these sects rarely obtained enough cultivation resources and were often suppressed and robbed by other sects.

They definitely craved such cultivation lands.

“If they want this Blood Flame Island they can move over. If one faction can’t swallow it, then a few join hands. However, they have to join Great Gan and be loyal to me. To send enough cultivators to serve the army.”

Mingyu couldn’t help but exchange glances with the Sword Sect teen which showed his face slightly.

That method was also really vicious. While weakening the Demon Sect they greatly increased Great Gan strength too.

If those factionless sects wanted to keep the spiritual land under the threat of the Demon Sect, they would have to wholeheartedly rely on Great Gan.

The moment Zong Shou said this, a furious woman’s voice spread over.

“Does Ruler really want to chase our Demon Path sects to the brink? To wipe out all our million disciples?”

The moment it rang out it was thousands of miles away. A moment later, it was a few feet out. A white streak of light appeared in front of Zong Shou’s face.

A woman with a petite and alluring body appeared three hundred thousand feet away from Zong Shou in the air.

This distance was just right so that the spirit masters on the spaceships couldn’t cover.

Although Zong Shou’s Slaying Sword could reach it, she could escape at any moment.

Her aura was innate, avoiding Zong Shou’s sword intent lock on. She wore a white dress and looked really Saint-like, like a Celestial. However, it exposed a lot too, only covering the important areas. It showed off her snow white skin. Every action and smile caused one’s heart to jump. She was really charming.

“Su Xiaoxiao?”

Zong Shou’s brow rose up. This was the second time he met this Heaven Demon Vast Habitat Saint Girl.

He was in a daze for a moment before he struggled out of the charm and laughed coldly.

“I should be the one asking your Demon Path! A month ago, you killed my people and officials. Did you all even think that you were becoming enemies with Great Gan who owned ten millions troops and occupied seventy six worlds? Or, you all thought about it and didn’t fear?”

As he spoke, his spiritual sense spread over. His eyes were filled with blood as he looked into the void.

He didn’t care about her at all. He was just searching for where her real body was at.

When he totally locked into her, he slashed out.

She held her breath and frowned. The charming technique she used was to try to reduce the animosity from Zong Shou.

It was obvious that it didn’t work. As expected the Nine Tail Sky Fox Blood and Illusionary Heart Mirror was the enemy of all illusions and was the top illusionary technique itself.

Even when she used this Grade Eleven top technique which could cause a corpse to be tempted, it wasn’t able to cause this teen who was said to be perverted to fall for her.

Not only was it useless on this person, as the charm was broken, the few Saint Realm people were affected and they all searched for her.

In the next moment, a few strong spiritual senses spread through the air. It restricted those few people such that she only had to face Zong Shou.

“Ruler, can you stop and have a peaceful conversation with me!”

Su Xiaoxiao’s brow rose up and her face was filled with a wronged expression making one naturally pity her. Her voice was really airy making one unknowingly focus on her.

However, such Heaven Demon Illusionary Techniques and charming voice was totally useless towards Zong Shou.

Su Xiaoxiao was helpless and could only retreat another thirty thousand feet, “I know that Ruler hates our Demon Path to the bone. However, everything in this world can be discussed, do you have to really make it such that the fish breaks out of the net?”

Zong Shou’s spiritual sense grew closer and closer. It looked really slow but it swiftly drew the two of them closer.

In the blink of an eye, they were only two hundred thousand feet apart.

Su Xiaoxiao wasn’t able to keep calm anymore and her tone was filled with anxiousness.

“Ruler has already sent our World Destroying God Venerable to Saint Realm. Is that not enough? If you continue and destroy the statues of the God Venerables, then not only will it drop, but it won’t be able to recover. Ruler is touching our bottom line. Does Ruler know what the consequence is?”

Before Zong Shou spoke, Su Xiaoxiao said firmly, “The Primordial Demon will go all out. Even if the Cloud World was destroyed he wouldn’t care!”

Zong Shou laughed coldly. Destroy the Cloud World? Not mentioning the World Protecting Venerables, even Xuanqing and Taihuang wouldn’t let it happen.

They planned for thousands of years to make that Heaven Opening God Weapon appear. If Wushang Yuan Demon really dared to do that, then the Common People’s Path and Sword Sect won’t be the only ones against them.

At this moment, he was just a short distance away. Half a God Refined Sword appeared from his sleeves.

Slaying Sword Intent was gathered to the maximum and he was just a moment away from exploding out.

However, at that moment, a sudden aura appeared beside Su Xiaoxiao.

“Trash, you really think you are invincible in the Cloud World?”

A person helped Su Xiaoxiao to block Zong Shou’s spiritual sense, to be locked on by the sword intent on behalf of the latter.

Dozens of black dots spread through the air.

“Hanqing?”

In a hundredth of an instant, he clearly saw the face of that person.

The black light which spread forth was the Thousand Vengeance Wan Violence Xuanxiao Lightning, gathering ten thousand violent thoughts and thousands of vengeful energy.

Zong Shou laughed instead of being shocked, pulling his sword out without hesitation.

“You came at the right time!”

An extremely sharp rainbow flashed. In six thousandths of a breath, it flashed across the black dots.

That black light which was deep and hard to pick up suddenly expanded and swallowed all the lightning.

The sword speed increased once more, before anyone could react it was already two hundred thousand feet out.

Su Xiaoxiao’s expression turned ashen white.

“It is the Unlimited Beginning and End ability! Junior Brother be careful…”
