Divine Brilliance

Translator: Exodus Tales  Editor: Exodus Tales

Zong Shou’s soul was in fact riddled with a thousand holes, but the nature of the Heaven Energy Swallowing Conversion Technique meant that his soul ocean was a whirlpool when it was formed.

Not only was it absorbing the spiritual energy flowing outside of his body, it was also gathering up and condensing all the soul energy, such that it was unable to dissipate. Because of all the hidden holes within his soul, this process was really dangerous. After merging with the Lightning Phoenix soul mark and the Sky Fox, the whirlpool could barely counterbalance it.

When he thought about that, a look of helplessness appeared on his face.

Although it could be barely said that it had been solved, his spiritual cultivation journey would still be tens and hundreds of times more risky than others.

“What a freak combination of factors! I Tanqiu always said that I am smart, but who knew that I would make such a blunder in the end…”

If he hadn’t act smartly and cultivated soul power to suppress the conflicting dual meridians within his body, there was a chance of changing them into a single meridian.

Now, he had to refrain from shooting at rats for fear of breaking vases, needing to try his best to maintain the balance between his dual meridians.

He had really picked up a piece of stone and smacked his own leg with it.

“The Lu Family that has been famous for eight hundred years? What history did that family actually have? What bloodline did they have? So terrifying…”

Looking at the two god beast marks within his soul ocean, Zong Shou’s heart was like a raging ocean.

The Desolate Era Lightning Phoenix was listed as one of the top hundred god beasts. The seven-tail Sky Fox was a descendant of a god beast, and his should still be able to evolve.

These two god beast bloodlines merging together and he actually barely had the ability to counter-balance, one could see how terrifying it was.

If his guesses were right, the reason why his body had so many flaws was most likely related to this.

He thought back to a few months ago when he was charmed by Zhao Yanran’s Land of the Dead tune, and the memories of the young Zong Shou.

Legend had it that the Lu Family had already disappeared thousand years from now, no one knew where they went. Legend had it that they opened up a new world.

The future could only understand the strength of this aristocratic Family in the God Emperor game. Even in such a virtual environment, the true power of that family was still hard to fully deduce. The game data similarly had miscalculations and wrong inputs.

After all, the designers of God Emperor didn’t experience that era for themselves.

They could only look through the old records and sect history recordings to obtain the rough experiences of the many people during the God Emperor era, and then use AIs to perform calculations.

Zong Shou frowned silently, backing his consciousness out of his soul. He sat up on the lion’s back and entered a state of deep thought.

The matter about the Lu Family should have nothing to do with him. Since they didn’t find any problems with him for thirteen years, they probably wouldn’t bother with him in the future.

However, he had to be really careful from today forwards on his own path.

The hidden problems within his soul were these small cracks and tears. He would have to think of a way to make up for them in the future. Be it cultivation methods or pills, he remembered a few different ways that could solve it. However, he didn’t know what weaknesses he had within his Body Chakra, prompting Long Ruo to say that he would be unable to break through to Xiantian.

Zong SHou tried to use the Third set of Internal Breathing Energy Leading Technique, only to feel that all nine meridians of his Body Chakra were all free and unobstructed, and there was nothing worth paying attention to..

His heart felt a dark sinking feeling.

If it weren’t these nine meridians, then the only possibility left would be that place.

It was the most difficult problem to solve, no wonder why Lingyun Long Ruo didn’t hesitate to give up on him.

Sighing softly, Zong Shou temporarily suppressed all these annoying thoughts and started to purely enjoy the happiness of his soul entering the Out of Body Realm.

He felt that the spiritual energy in Heaven and Earth was like the ocean encapsulating him, and there was no barrier like before.

Normal spirit masters when they got into this Realm would normally find it hard to breathe in front of such a vast spiritual energy ocean. Usually they would take several months to adapt to it.

Zong Shou disregarded it completely, like a fish taking to water, his mind flowed freely and was able to roam in this ocean.

The surrounding spiritual energy was like water he could obtain for his own use whenever he wanted.

With just a thought, he could easily amass large amounts of the lightning element spiritual energy.

Zong Shou felt a sudden interest, his will rose and gathered on his palm. He saw threads of purple lightning forming and gathering up to swell up into a fist sized pale purple ball.

“How strong is this lightning? Legend has it that the best lightning techniques in Cloud World come from Mysterious Cloud Spirit Sect. Rumor had it that when its Supreme Purple Cloud Lightning technique was cultivated to its pinnacle, one would be able to smash the cloud continent with one fist!. Unfortunately, I didn’t learn its cultivation method. Since my soul has reached the Out of Body Realm I should choose some spiritual techniques. I also need a Spiritual Artifact flying knife, this matter is slightly more problematic…”

Be it spirit masters or martial cultivators, the battle support items they needed were split up into talisman artifacts, Spiritual Artifacts, and magic artifacts.

All talisman artifacts could be crafted by spirit blacksmiths. At the Spiritual Artifact level, they needed spiritual refiners.

Spirit blacksmiths could be found all around, but these spirit refiners were mostly recruited by those sects and aristocratic families. The remaining ones scattered around were often not of decent standard.

Within Donglin Cloud Continent, there were other cities where things could be purchased from. However, it depended on his luck and compatibility.

His heart suddenly had a thought as Zong Shou regained his senses and looked behind him. Chuxue’s aura was starting to spread and even out.

He gave out a soft laugh, retracting Little Gold who was exhausted from all the bouncing. Just as Chuxue’s eyes lit up and was about to jump onto the back of the lion, he suddenly recalled something, smiling, “Oh yes! Xue’er, did you remember that you mentioned that you need to train up the Bodily Chakra and break the Yin Lock before you can share the room with me. After eating this Human Pinnacle Pill, it would roughly take just these three months?”

Chuxue’s breathing totally stopped as she fell from midair. Luckily, her footsteps were nimble and she didn’t trip. In just a short while she jumped up onto the lion’s back. She lowered her head, not daring to look at Zong Shou, muttering, “No! Master said that I would only have a chance of breaking through when I was eighteen. Today it is much quicker. If Young Master wants to, you need to wait until Xue’er is eighteen before we can discuss this. The Spiritual Emperor Internal Scripture said that if we do it too early our vital energy would be corrupted and mixed up and cause many problems. Anyways, no!”

Zong Shou burst out laughing. Vital energy would be corrupted and mixed up and cause many problems? What a mess, why didn’t he remember that such things were said in the Spiritual Emperor Internal Scripture?

Chuxue’s eyes turned curious, “Young Master, you really don’t want that Seven Immortal Loop? Isn’t it a little inappropriate to throw it in that Blood Valley. Although it is a demonic item, if you use it for good it is good, you use it for bad it is evil…”

Zong Shou was startled, thinking that this little brat was starting to be smart, and actually knew how to change the topic. He shook his head solemnly, “That item is too cruel and I couldn’t bear to use it. I wasn’t willing to let go of that Gao Yi, so why not give it to someone else. Your words make sense. There are reasons why the demonic path is seen as demonic, and it isn’t that simple!”

He didn’t bother to explain, guessing what the origin of the Xiantian master was. He didn’t know the man’s background and as such he could only destroy the corpse and clean up the traces.

Although he was self confident, he wasn’t so crazy as to make such a strong enemy.
