Divine Brilliance

Translator: Exodus Tales  Editor: Exodus Tales

It was said that during the Desolate Era, not only were martial arts prosperous, in terms of philosophy, it was also like the Philosophers Debate period of Chinese history.

And Xi Zi, who was the ancestor of the Seven Spirit Sect, was one of them.

He supported equal rights for everyone. Be it strong or weak, no matter their birth, they should have equal rights. All the royal families and nobles in the world should be removed and let the people live their own lives.

Such a school of thought was naturally seen as evil by all the power wielders in the world and they strongly opposed it, putting it on the same level as those devil paths.

Xi Zi supported the common people, spreading down his techniques and skills. Apart from Mohism, Confucianism and Legalism, he formed another school of thought which supported the rights of the common people. In the end he died in defeat, but his disciples kept his ideals and beliefs alive. This Seven Spirit Sect was one of them, all of which were women, which was why it was called the Beautiful Demon Sect.

Legend had it that thousand of years ago their methods were really intense. As long as they felt that their ideals were correct and that they could finally achieve equality, they felt that they could use any kind of methods to achieve it. It was why they were deemed by many to be demons.

Their style now, although better, was still a little too biased. Just looking at those martial cultivators that followed Zhao Yanran, one could tell a bit about their style.

In the future, people had already slowly accepted Xi Zi’s ideas. This sect being called a demon sect was being overturned, but they were still hated and disliked by many.

But how could he explain these matters to Chuxue? Frowning and thinking about it, Zong Shou decided to be more objective, “I heard that Lingyun Sect has twenty-three people above the ascended level, seventeen above the Day Wandering level. On Seven Spirit Sect’s side, they have only three on the same level, similarly regarded as a strong sect in today’s world. Do you think that Long Ruo would easily attack her?” He added in his heart, Unless that Long Ruo was confident that I could cultivate. If not, he wouldn’t stand up for me.

Facing a huge sect like the Seven Spirit Sect, if Zhao Yanran was insistent, then even that Lingyun Vermillion Token would be useless.

“So it’s like the soft is afraid of the hard!”

Chuxue was immediately enlightened. No matter how dumb she was, she also knew that if these two sects wanted to fight with one another, the entire East of Cloud World would be in chaos.

She also felt afraid. If her words had annoyed that crazy woman, wouldn’t she destroy their Gantian Mountain in one breath?

However, the Lingyun Sect was still okay, why hadn’t she heard about this Seven Spirit Sect? Was it a legendary kind of mystery sect?

She didn’t suspect anything about Zong Shou knowing all this. With his identity as the Prince, it wasn’t weird for him to know about all these large sects.

So what if they were a huge sect? Since they were finding trouble with them, shouldn’t they fight back? At most she would just fight to the death!

“Although this woman is a little weird, at least she keeps her promises. That’s right! She said that your sword is connected to the spirit, what does that mean? When I saw Young Master use the sword, I only felt that Young Master was really strong. Such a sharp sword and you can go head-to-head with her. But exactly which part was strong, I don’t know..”

Zong Shou couldn’t help but laugh; this was something he wasn’t sure about, either. During that duel he had actually performed beyond his ability. Under the suppression of that crazy woman, this weak body was already performing at a much higher level than he would usually.

However, in terms of the sword arts, it was far from that.

At that moment, Yin Yang walked over, his face cold and serious, his expression as solemn as usual.

Zong Shou was startled, thinking for a while before looking seriously at Yin Yang, “No matter how precious these items are, they are useless for me, why don’t you all have it. My safety in the future depends on you to. As for the top Grade Lingyun Vermillion Token, even if I die I wouldn’t request any help from them, do you believe me? As for the spirit technique seal on your body, I heard that you were from a famous sect. It seems like a great sect disciple that my father trusted and had so high hopes wouldn’t have such low ability. There should be other reasons, which was why I had guessed so…”

In the Cloud World, there weren’t many sects that could be considered famous sects. Even the weakest disciples from those sects weren’t people normal people could face. Thirty years old and just entering the seventh meridian, such a talent wasn’t high at all.

When he had opened up his energy ocean, he had noticed Yin Yang’s aura, pale and bitter. Only after these few days when he entered the Martial Master level was he able to confirm it.

Yin Yang’s eyes shone for a while before sighing, following which he knelt down.

“Yin Yang has received the kindness of the Ruler and Prince, I have no ability to repay you two, I can only be loyal to Prince till death!”

The last few words were said word by word, firm and determined. A blood pattern picture also appeared between his eyebrows.

‘Uncle Yin, you are a descendant of the spirit race?” Zong Shou’s expression changed, and he frowned. “Once this blood contract is signed, it is for life and you can’t break free. Uncle Yin, are you serious? That Lingyun Long Ruo is certain that I am unable to break through to the Earth Chakra level and I won’t be able to help you. Instead, I would be a burden…”

Yin Yang kept silent, more and more blood patterns appearing, making that picture more and more perfect.

Zong Shou couldn’t help but laugh bitterly, knowing the rules of the spirit race. If he rejected him now, it would be a humiliation to Yin Yang. After sighing, his expression became solemn as he stood in front of Yin Yang.

“I don’t know why Uncle Yin wants to do this contract, but if in the future you feel that it is inappropriate you can look for me to cancel it…”

He reached out with his hand to the center of Yin Yang’s brow, and a thread of blood seeped right into his palm.

It formed a pale red image on the side of his wrist.

This was the spirit race blood contract. From now on, a single thought from him would control Yin Yang’s life or death. Even all his descendants would become his servants.

Originally he didn’t mind, but he felt that within that thread of blood, a mental intent had entered his brain. Numerous words and runes appeared in front of his eyes.

“It is actually the spirit race legacy bloodroot!”

At that moment, Zong Shou understood Yin Yang’s true intentions. If Zong Shou could merge this bloodroot fully into his body, he would need just seven or eight years for his body to become like that of the spirit race. Even if he couldn’t cultivate martial arts, he could cultivate spiritual energy.

However, the original host of this bloodroot would have to pay a heavy price.

Looking at Yin Yang in astonishment, Zong Shou smiled. He knew that the identity of this servant was far from as simple as being a disciple of a famous sect.

He didn’t hesitate at all to seal the spirit race power back into the pale red picture.

Thinking of what Long Ruo mentioned before, Zong Shou’s lips pouted coldly.

I can’t cultivate? He really wasn’t going to admit defeat like that. He wanted to see how he was going to use this body to get to the peak of the martial path.

Unfortunately Long Ruo wasn’t specific in his words and didn’t point out where his problems lay. If he wanted to be sure, he would have to put in a lot of effort.

But before this, there was an even bigger problem he had to deal with.

Zong Shou looked around only, and saw that they were surrounded by hundreds of swamp wolves. Losing the suppression of Zhao Yanran and the giant Flood Dragon, they had all drawn close, their eyes glowing red as they looked over hungrily.

Their closely packed numbers made his skin and hair go numb. This time they were truly screwed over by that crazy woman.
