Divine Brilliance

North of the Central Cloud Continent, beneath the Cloud Ocean, in a dark area.

Zong Shou stepped on the Blue Fire Xuan Turtle and flew in the air. Maybe as it was returning to where it came from, the turtle was really excited and kept crying out, threatening the beasts all around.

Before it was recruited by Zong Shou, it was one of the overlords of the area.

Zong Shou was fully focused, using his World Burning Blood Eye to shine on these 1,000 miles of land.

For the Qin Emperor Tomb, Great Gan went all out and mobilized all Dao Soldiers and recruited experts.

However, they were in charge of helping out on the outside, after all the tomb hadn’t appeared normally.

The Spiritual Formations within were perfectly fine. All the mechanisms were all perfectly normal and effective. If too many people went in, they were only running to their own deaths.

Great Gan was definitely not the only one gathered here. Common People’s Path, Sword Sect, and Buddhist Faction also sent dozens of Saint Realm Experts to pay attention.

The atmosphere here was really tense, like it was before the war in the southeast.

Zong Shou knew that the six factions might all join in to try to get the treasures hidden within the tomb.

They wouldn’t interfere in the battle for the 12 Copper Men. Legend had it that only people with King Energy could control it.

“That Zhongxuan thought that he kept everything a secret, in the end, everyone in the world knew about it…”

The person who was speaking beside Zong Shou was Yuan Wushang. He returned upon hearing news. He followed behind Shen Yuexuan and headed back from Tianfang World.

“How exciting! Who knows how many people would die this time?”

His tone was cold and filled with disdain, however since the Jade Puppet was fully recovered, he was fully confident.

The top puppet of the Mohist Faction had strength comparable to Saint Realm. Moreover, it wasn’t restricted by the power of Heaven and Earth.

“Zhongxuan could be considered a talent, so this matter wouldn’t be that simple!”

Zong Shou shook his head. He didn’t dare to take Zhongxuan, who came back from the dead, too lightly.

Common People’s Path, Sword Sect, and Buddhist Faction followed suit after he paid close attention to the matter.

The Confucian Faction, Taoist Faction, and Demon Path had a rough idea of Yinyu and Zhongxuan’s plans.

However, maybe Zhongxuan did this on purpose and he wanted to sow chaos in the world.

Based on what he knew, to open the Qin Emperor Tomb gate and wash away the Yin energy, they just needed the blood of 100,000 kids. With the strength of Great Shang, even after they became weaker, they would be able to collect them all, even within three days before the date.

To do so so early was like them purposely telling the world about what they had planned.

“Who cares! With the four of us here, what can that Zhongxuan even do?”

Yuan Wushang broke into a laugh and was still filled with disdain. Then his tone changed, “Speaking of which, Zong Shou are you willing to accept me?”

Zong Shou was stunned and came back to his senses. Naturally, he was delighted but he didn’t let it show in his tone, “Is it because of the Universe Light Hall?”

The Universe Light Hall had been exposed long ago and during those few years, thousands of people had cultivated there.

This was why when Yuan Wushang came, Zong Shou didn’t hide it from him. He even told the recruited experts to draw him over.

Even if he didn’t use the Book of Eon, the hall itself could accelerate speed by 10 times.

Normal cultivators weren’t tempted but people like Yuan Wushang who badly wanted to improve would definitely take the bait.

He was the exact same person as Yuan Wushang which was why he understood what he was thinking about.

“Yes and no!”

Yuan Wushang laughed, a bright glow appeared in his eyes, “You are a nice person and I like you! I cultivated both the Taoist Faction and Demon Path techniques before. I have been alone with no faction. In the past, it was okay but now I feel that I have less and less resources.”

Zong Shou understood and then broke into a smile, “Of course! Whatever you need, as long as we have it, then go ahead and take it.”

In his past life, after the 160-year Spiritual Wave, Yuan Wushang disappeared. Before he disappeared he was a Saint Realm Expert.

He took just 180 years to complete something others would take 10,000 years to achieve.

His talents were just a little weaker than Shiyue and Gongyuan, but he was regarded on the same level as them.

Even if one didn’t speak about his future achievements, that puppet in his hands now was like having one more Saint Realm Cultivator.

To be able to recruit this person, in just 100 years, wouldn’t Gantian have yet another top expert? So why not?

Moreover, this person’s Master was already strong. Although he wasn’t Saint Realm, like Dragon Shadow from before, he was really famous and he could recruit him along with Yuan Wushang.

Yuan Wushang didn’t say anything and just acknowledged as a form of thanks.

Each step he took in the future would need a huge amount of resources. However, from what Zong Shou said, he was going all out for him.

Originally, he had to search for those things himself but if he had the Great Gan Celestial Dynasty as his shield, he would be able to save decades.

“Are those people the choices of God Emperor? What strong auras, they probably aren’t weaker than you…”

Shen Yuexuan was at the side. He didn’t have Zong Shou’s World Burning Blood Eyes but he took out a hollow mirror known as the Thousand Mile Mirror and looked over. He could also see everything within thousands of miles. It wasn’t much weaker than Zong Shou’s Blood Eyes.

At this moment, his eyes were filled with shock.

“However, there is still some good news. It seems like the Qin Emperor Tomb’s suppression of cultivators is close to double that of the Cloud World…”

Saint Realm Cultivators cared for their life and the battle of the six factions had caused a few of them to die under Zong Shou’s sword.

Now that the Qin Emperor Tomb appeared, they probably wouldn’t show themselves and personally join in.

With their status and identity, no matter what item there was in the tomb, those people would get the part they deserved.

They might be able to get more if they went in themselves but it would also mean that they would face a huge risk.

Zong Shou was not the only one in the Cloud World who could kill Saint Realm Venerables.

The Qin Emperor Tomb suppressing the cultivators more meant that the chance of them appearing dropped.

The four people from Great Gan who were preparing to enter, Zong Shou, Chuxue, Yuan Wushang, and Shen Yuexuan had the ability to fight a Saint Realm.

No matter what the situation, they would be able to handle it.

However, the strength of those few God Emperor choices made Shen Yuexuan surprised. The subjects they brought were skilled too.

This was the first time he felt that the situation wouldn’t turn out the way he had imagined.

In the Cloud World, there were many experts, many of which he had never heard of before.

Just five to six of them working together and they would be able to fight against them. If half of them worked together, the four of them wouldn’t be able to escape.

There were also many who were hiding who they didn’t notice.

“No worries! Although they are under Great Shang, they might not willingly help Zhongxuan…”

Zong Shou was really calm and looked out one by one. Many either familiar or not faces flashed across his face.

He heard of many names before, like thunder to the ears. Some were really foreign and he had never heard of them, however, they were really strong too.

However, there wasn’t Shiyue…

Did he have a way to hide to avoid his ability? Or did he not come at all.

Zong Shou was deep in thought. Only Shiyue tried to stop Yinyu and Zhongxuan from collecting the blood of children.

Two months ago, there was a battle in the Imperial City. Many people guessed that it was Shiyue who tried to kill Zhongxuan.

In the end, that matter ended with Shiyue being moved away from the Imperial Capital.

So where would that person be today?

The 12 Copper Men were the only chance for Great Shang to rise back up. However, if Yinyu got it, it would give rise to catastrophe to the Shi Family, who grasped seven million troops in the south.

Thinking about it, Zong Shou shook his head. No matter what Shiyue chose, it would have nothing to do with him.

“However, there are many experts here today, we have to be careful. Especially Brother Yuan!”

Yuan Wushang’s lips curled, however, he still retracted that arrogance.

Actually, if he was really arrogant, he wouldn’t have managed to survive until now.

Each time he faced an opponent, he would go all out. Even when he clashed with Zong Shou and didn’t know his bottom line, he still went all out.

Shen Yuexuan still held that Thousand Mile Mirror, he was pumped up, “It begins!”

Zong Shou’s Blood Eyes looked toward the Qin Emperor Tomb.

In the past, the East Kunlun Mountain had already fallen into the ground and was not as towering as it was before.

The so-called entrance to the tomb was a 100,000-foot wide stone.

At this moment, a black shadow was standing on it. 100,000 blood pearls scattered all around.

They were all evenly spread out on that giant stone, along with blood flowing, it formed into a giant Spiritual Formation.

The Pure Yang Energy in the area exploded out and helped to draw more Yang Power to aid the formation. The Yin Energy around slowly dissipated.

Outside the entrance, the surrounding 1,000 miles looked really calm and normal. At this moment, there were actually many people who were looking out using various methods.

Zong Shou fully focused to judge the Yin Power and the time it would take to be removed.

“It would take till noon? Probably going to rely on the sun at noon to succeed.”

He looked at the man whose body was wrapped tightly with a black cape.

That person didn’t look like Zhongxuan! So where was Zhongxuan?

The one he worried most about was that person who had an endless amount of evil techniques.

He didn’t fear it as no evil could enter his body. However, if he attacked Chuxue instead, then it would be really problematic.

He thought that the enemy was in the open and they were in the dark. However, Zhongxuan was smart and didn’t show himself, hiding in the dark. That was a little problematic.

He could only anticipate and hope that the few evil avoiding treasures that Kong Rui prepared would be useful.

Just as they were thinking that way, Zong Shou heard a really nice laughter ring out by his year.

“Long time no see Your Majesty?”

The voice was very familiar. When Zong Shou turned around, he saw Su Xiaoxiao smiling 10,000 feet away.
