Divine Brilliance

That Xiao Xiangzi also opened his mouth, “I agree with those words! That Yin Dragon will awaken in a month, we will have to wait for another year after this. We don’t have much time, we can save the words for next time!”

“The words of cultivator Xiao Xiangzi are correct!”

Fangming smiled with intentions to get closer, then looked towards Zong Shou, “What does the ruler think?”

Zong Shou gave a light smile as he moved aside, that sword intent that suppressed the entire sky of the Yin Dragon canyon was also retracted. He made a “please proceed” gesture.

Without sincerity, like he was just doing a job, he said “This place belongs to Gantian Mountain, please be peaceful and don’t kill one another!”

He was thinking to himself, that as long as they didn’t affect the surrounding people, however many people died within, he wouldn’t even care.

However, as the owner of the land, at least on the surface he needed to maintain the order in this area.

Xiao Xiangzi looked deeply at him, taking out his Heaven and Earth bag and making a seal. Instantly that Heaven and Earth bag and his body shone with a bright light.

He used that to show that he only brought these items, in case after he came out people claimed he hid items.

When the spiritual light faded, he immediately stepped into the yin mist.

Everyone else did the same. Even that Wuxuan was no exception. Who knows when this set of rules was made, but within the Cloud World, everyone was familiar with it.

Without enough benefits, if a sect and faction had the power to occupy the ruins alone, why would they casually allow other people to enter?

Taking eighty percent was a little high, but could they gather their experts and dao soldiers to go all out against Gantian Mountain?

Even if Gantian Mountain made everyone furious, the four religions and one sect here definitely wouldn’t manage to completely work together.

In just a moment the cultivators around the canyon all stepped in, and instantly the skies were empty.

——

“The situation today is a little off!”

The one who spoke was Tianqi. He was originally busy moving the sect to the Mysterious Cloud Mountain peak.

Only when felt the changes here did he bring a few Grade Nine elders over.

His brows furrowed tightly as he said, “In the past, when our Donglin Cloud Continent had Cloud Desolate Era ruins, the sects of the central continent wouldn’t casually interfere and instead let Lingyun Sect and the others split it…”

Zong Shou frowned too. The situation here was abnormal, and he knew it. To say he wanted to take eighty percent of the profits was a probe.

Was it due to that spiritual energy fluctuation that spread through the entire Donglin Cloud Continent?

That artifact spirit in his spiritual sense should be a peak magical treasure, even close to Celestial artifact.

However, it didn’t seem worthy for all the sects to pay so much attention…

Thinking about it, he made his mind up, “I want to enter and see the situation within! As for this area, the two of you please help me out. Any benefits, your two sects can each take fifteen percent.”

The two people he mentioned were Tianqi and Old Man Mingdan. Before the matter began, he was within Gantian Mountain City, and thus he came a little quicker.

As the leader of a sect, his combat strength was far higher than people of the same grade. With the help of the Blood Cloud Cavalry, they would be able to suppress this area…

Before Zong Shou entered, he paused, “It is best if you shift all the Energy-Destroying Crossbows over!”

Tianqi’s pupils constricted, his fists clenched tight.

Energy-Destroying Crossbows? Zong Shou really felt that there was something wrong within the Yin Dragon Canyon?

Those Vast Habitat sects wouldn’t follow the rules?

That did make sense. If the profits were too high, the Cloud Desolate treasures within might also be too precious and tough to measure.

If it was him, he wouldn’t be willing to let other people explore at all…

He heard Zong Shou add another sentence, “Don’t be nervous, there is nothing wrong with being prepared!”

Only then did Tianqi relax. When he exchanged glances with Mingdan, his expression was also really solemn.

He had made his mind up to bring all the decent disciples here, along with the Energy-Destroying Crossbows to lock down this place.

Zong Yuan said expressionlessly, “Ruler, don’t worry, go. With me here, there is nothing to worry about.”

He didn’t say that he wanted to enter along with Zong Shou to protect him. If Zong Shou’s current strength couldn’t handle it, then he would also be useless.

Moreover, there needed to be someone who take charge of the area above the Yin Dragon Canyon. For there only to be one yin-yang for the Blood Cloud Cavalry was a little insufficient.

His eyes were filled with remorse and shame. When he was ordered to conquer the sects, he had the responsibility of scouring and pillaging them.

However these sects were all really cunning and had many bases. They knew about the Mysterious Cloud Spirit Sect being wiped out, which was why when Yin Yang and him swept across, they didn’t obtain much.

Zong Shou nodded and stepped within, into that think yin mist.

Leidong and Jin Buhui followed closely behind. Zhao Yanran and the others also entered.

In front of them were already two thousand-odd cultivators who had charged down from here. They swept across, and all the evil beings and spirits were wiped out.

There were some weaker evil spirits which the people didn’t bother about. Just the energy around the cultivators was enough to destroy them.

They sank down for close to twenty thousand feet, and still could not see the bottom. However, they could start to smell something rotting.

“Is it a swamp below?”

The moment such a thought rose up in his heart, Zong Shou felt a bone-chilling yin power surge over, wanting to freeze up his body.

“Yin wave? No, it’s a Yin Flood Dragon…”

Reaching out, this yin power was restricted, unable to proceed forwards or retreat. It twisted and struggled, and as expected turned into a large Yin Flood Dragon.

As it was peak Grade Nine, its strength was also stronger than that of Zong Shou, and in just a moment it struggled out of his grasp.

Zong Shou didn’t care at all, his body flashing, and he stepped on the weak point of the flood dragon. Sword intent struck, injecting directly into its body. Leidong waved his blade down, and its body broke down into unwilling pieces.

“This Yin Dragon Canyon is much stronger than that Evil Spirit Moat near your Gantian Mountain. Speaking of which, these two places are not far away from one another, is there some sort of connection?”

Zhao Yanran and Jin Buhui followed behind, trailed by Xuan Yunlan and the others.

Leidong and Zong Shou who opened up the path. The other people felt really embarrassed, Ruoshui and Chuxue were also even a little ashamed. Only the two people in front felt like it was expected.

Zong Shou didn’t make a sound, and didn’t bother about it, he only looked into the distance in doubt.

The yin energy here was too strong, obstructing his gaze. His soul power was also unable to spread out, so he was unable to see anything.

What surprised him was that the lower he fell, the wider it was. It was not what he saw before, a few hundred miles limit. It might not even be just a few thousand miles. Who knows where those people from the various sects went to…

Even if he was slower coming down, he wasn’t so slow that he couldn’t see anyone else, it was really weird…

Shaking his head slightly, Zong Shou came back to his senses. Right as he was about to speak, he was startled once more.

There was actually no one around him.

Not only was Leidong not there, Ruoshui, Chuxue, Zhao Yanran, and Jin Buhui were all totally gone.

What was happening? Was this an illusion?

That wasn’t right, with his Sky Fox bloodline awakened to seven tails, there were only thirty types of illusions in the world that could trick him. The ones so strong that he wouldn’t notice any anomalies, there were only four types.

The remnant restriction within the Yin Dragon Canyon wasn’t one of them! Especially at this moment, when his Sky Fox blood was restless and seemed to be burning up!

Such a situation was becoming more and more serious. As time went, on the weird power in his bloodline was being forced out bit by bit.

It was really chaotic, unable to calm down, even affecting his mind.

Thinking about it carefully, most of the spiritual formations here had to do with the power of space…

Right! Space!

A light bulb lit up in his mind.

That shouldn’t be wrong. The space in the canyon, who knows if it was because of the formation itself or other reasons, it was totally scattered and in a mess.

In that instant he sensed that the uneven space around him had changed locations, which meant that it was the same for the others!

He couldn’t help, but feel worried. He asked Ruoshui and Chuxue to enter because he felt that he could protect them with his strength.

At this moment they had separated right after they entered this place.

Forget about Ruoshui, he really couldn’t stop worrying about that brat Chuxue. Let’s hope that she wouldn’t fall asleep in this area…

He barely managed to calm himself down as he continued to head forwards. At the same time, he paid attention to the changes in the surrounding space, trying to predict the rhythm and logic behind it.

The further he moved forwards, the more he frowned. The way the space changed was totally random. Sometimes he was deep in the canyon, while sometimes he was in the higher parts of the canyon.

Just thinking about it made his head hurt. Unfortunately, he didn’t have the devices which could calculate billions of times in a breath, made with mind stones and spiritual formations.

Using the human brain to understand the situation going on here would take months. Finding the items within was totally up to luck.

Who knows what it was like with the other sects? Were they running around like headless flies similar to him? Or did they have other ways…

Just as he was worrying, his eyes lit up. The Book of Eon Extreme Life in his soul ocean suddenly moved.

In that moment, the space around him that was about to shift away was fixed!

Before Zong Shou was able to feel excited, he felt instantly depressed.

This space was forcefully stabilised, but it consumed a large amount of the remaining spiritual power.

Simply put, it was impossible if he wanted to use the power of the Book of Eon Extreme Life for this.

However, if he had enough mind stones, this book had the ability to suppress space…

He also felt fortunate. Luckily, Zong Yuan and Yin Yang led the Blood Cloud Cavalry over and brought some mind stones back.

It wasn’t a lot, but along with the treasury of Mysterious Cloud Spirit Sect, it was just enough to use the book for one hundred and forty days, enough for him to walk around here…
