Divine Brilliance

When the darkness passed through, for an entire 100 miles, it was totally dark.

And when the darkness retreated, the white glow was still there, only it was much dimmer than before.

The long sword in Little Gold’s hand slashed once more. This time it was the Origin White Sword!

An blinding white glow exploded outward. It repelled Spiritual Sense and shone like a bright light in the night sky.

Little Gold’s body shone a golden light.

Many runes appeared on it and then slowly retracted.

Its aura was several times stronger than before!

It had already passed the lightning tribulation and stepped into the Spirit Realm.

This was only the start. Following this, its strength would explosively increase.

The initial day after the tribulation, his combat strength would be ten times what it was at Grade-9.

This growth period would only end half a year later.

What was more important was that this fellow was already his Natural Protector Beast.

This was his first Spirit Beast and in terms of connection, it was even above the Lightning Winged Dragon and Hanxi!

After Little Gold sliced open the last lighting tribulation, its body was recovering at an insane rate. However, its source energy was still injured and needed healing.

Little Gold didn’t immediately sleep, but turned around and spoke to Zong Shou.

It was like a kid speaking, one couldn’t make out what it was saying. However, Zong Shou smiled and knew that Little Gold was protesting its name.

In the past, it couldn’t speak and was very fearful, but now it had grown up.

Now it was time for it to have a real name.

Thinking about it, Zong Shou asked, “Little Gold Dog? Gold Egg. No? Then Gold Bug. I heard that the more stupid the name sounds, the easier it is to survive…”

Little Gold was anxious, its face which looked exactly the same as Zong Shou’s appeared as if it had been wronged. It still chattered on, so anxious it couldn’t say anything.

Zong Shou laughed, his expression turning serious, “Your real name would be Jinhao!”

Hanxi was named after the sun. Hanxi also honored Zong Shou’s wish for it to retract its violent energy.

Little Gold was different, the name represented the blazing sun. Zong Shou hoped for it to be as eye-catching as the sun at noon, shining everywhere and giving off a bright light.

Little Gold’s eyes lit up and then it turned back into a jelly-like shape.

It was already in deep sleep, returning back to its normal state.

Zong Shou could sense that the words Jinhao were forming in its core. It was also absorbing the bloodline ability left by its ancestors.

Zong Shou was looking forward. He didn’t know how strong this fellow would be when it woke up.

Wanxiang descendant, it probably wouldn’t disappoint him.

Especially at this time, the help for him was huge.

In the next moment, he took out a message talisman. It was from Gantian Mountain to tell him about the situation in Donglin.

“12 noon, Wuyang Canyon Path destroyed, commerce path broken, 743 casualties…”

“12:30 pm, Xu Zhengyuan was attacked, suffering heavy injuries.”

“1:15 four Rainbow City ships were sunk, 30,000 people’s whereabouts are unknown.”

“2 pm, Longxiang City was struck. As we were prepared, the losses were minimal.”

Compared to a day ago, the Daoling Vast Habitat Cultivators were much more careful.

Donglin Cloud Continent didn’t have high numbers of casualties occurring.

The deaths of Spirit Realm and Grade-9 Cultivators were greatly reduced.

Only two of them died today.

However, it struck his weakness; cutting off ocean trade was like cutting off his arm…

After the entire day, the number of casualties was also shocking and it made him furious. 52,000? That was similar to the number of Taoist Faction members he killed.

Startled for a moment, he burned the letter in his hand.

This Taoist Faction really made his killing intent rise up! He didn’t feel any pity or guilt toward those who died.

Cultivation was to stop war, to use wars to stop other cultivators; to kill to stop killing! Pay blood with blood!

A cold glow flashed in his eyes. He closed it and started to meditate.

The fight tomorrow night was going to be crucial. He still needed to prepare for Yugang Ping An Temple.

※※※※

Outside of the Cloud World, deep within the void, there were four people.

They had different expressions. Two Taoist cultivators had rage in their eyes.

A Confucian who was around 30 who had a sword by his waist was looking ahead, emotionless.

The other had a purple face, was wearing a red robe and smiled.

If one looked carefully, one could see that there were numerous shadows struggling beneath his feet.

“Mingyu!”

The voice was filled with rage. It was from a Taoist. Soon after, the anger was suppressed and his expression calmed down once more.

“Why is Common People’s Path interfering in the battle between Taoist Faction and Gantian Mountain? Just for dozens of mines, is it worth you doing this?”

“That’s already a lot!”

Mingyu shook his head, not bothering to look. His tone was really calm too.

“A dam is destroyed by an ant cave which was why I need to be wary. Your Taoism is strong, Common People’s Path has to be wary. Moreover, 7 Mind Stone mines, 9 Spiritual Metal mines, that’s not just a little.”

It was during the rise of the Spiritual Wave and many more mines were appearing. There were many currently existing ones which had been greatly expanded.

Rage flashed in the Taoist’s eyes once more.

“Donglin Cloud Continent belongs to us!”

Moments later, he suppressed his rage and calmed himself down once more.

“After this battle, my Taoist Faction can ensure we won’t cross path with your Common People’s Path. If you can help us, naturally we will thank you and repay you.”

As a Saint Realm Expert, one didn’t bother to talk about such small matters.

However, what happened today made him angry.

25 sects were wiped out, but there was nothing they could do about it.

It really made one fume…

Mingyu scoffed coldly and didn’t bother. The red robe male laughed, he had a rough look, but his voice was as gentle as a woman’s.

“Zhongguang, How is it just about the few mines? No matter what you say, this fellow won’t leave.”

The Taoist’s eyes opened wide as he stared over furiously. How did he not know that this was because of Demon Sect and Common People’s Path restricting them?

They wouldn’t sit still and watch them easily take down Donglin.

The red-robed male didn’t fear, sitting in the void, resting his head on his hand.

“It is no use staring at me. I am glad that there is someone in the Cloud World that dares pull at your Taoist Faction’s mustache. How will I miss out on this…”

The other Taoist beside Zhongguang frowned. He also knew that this person wouldn’t be persuaded.

Although Taoism and Demon Sects didn’t fight one another, they couldn’t be allies. They each saw each other as enemies.

They obtained the most benefits from Zong Shou killings in the Central Continent.

The other Taoist sighed and then spoke toward Mingyu.

“Brother Mingyu please think about it. Is it worth going all out against us because of that Gantian Mountain?”

“Naturally I have no intentions to be enemies with Daoling Vast Habitat.”

One sentence caused both Taoists to be delighted. Then, his tone changed.

“I just want the two of you to follow the rules. Although the Spiritual Wave rose up, it still isn’t time to break the agreement…”

The red-robed male laughed out when he heard this, “That’s right! I too am not willing to attack you two, but I just hope Taoism can follow the rules. It isn’t time to break the rules. Let them solve their problems. What do the two of you think?”

Zhongguang’s face turned green and his heart sank to the bottom of his chest.

With the two of them working together, there was nothing they could do.

“What a good rule!”

A cold laugh, he wanted to fight once more, but he had a thought. He closed his eyes and sat cross-legged in the void.

“Forget it, let’s just follow what we discussed today!”

The Taoist beside also smiled and sat down.

The red-robed person looked into the void with deep meaning in his eyes.

Although it was numerous worlds away, the situation within was still in front of his eyes.

“Combining strength in one spot? You should have done that long ago! If you continue to scatter, Zong Shou would slaughter you all easily.”

After speaking, he laughed at the two of them, “That Palace Head of yours is not bad. His name is Wu Xu right?”

Zhongguang scoffed coldly and didn’t reply, he felt pain in his heart.

Although the sects east of the Central Continent could be kept safe, many of those mines would be occupied. Who knows how long it would take for them to recover?

Common People’s Path and Demon Path would profit the most.

The other Taoist didn’t care, smiling as he looked at the red-robed male.

“Brother Hongyi, in my eyes with this person alive it isn’t good for your Demon Sect. Don’t forget about the story of Ranwu King…”

Hongyi’s pupils constricted. Thinking back to a few thousand years ago, that person was also unrivaled in the Cloud World like Zong Shou.

Demon Sect went all out, but they couldn’t do much about him.

If Zong Shou attacked them, what would happen?

He laughed without much care, “Invincible, let’s see in the future!”

In his eyes, Wu Xu couldn’t lose. If Zong Shou didn’t retreat, he would fall. If he did, Gantian Mountain would also fall within three months.

Unable to borrow the strength of a country, although his Sword Path was strong, he wasn’t so terrifying anymore.

Mingyu sighed. This was all he could do for his Junior Brother.
