Within this stone cave which could be considered quite wide, two five-colored lights were struggling and spinning about.
Their bodies were twisting like a giant horned Dragon. However, no matter how they struggled, they were unable to break free from Zong Shou’s hands.
As time went on, they were slowly tamed and they rotated around him.
Then they were directly sucked in from his palm and merged into his Chakra Meridians.
As usual his skin tore. A moment later, it recovered back to normal.
At this moment, there were already 12 Heaven Veins which were flowing in his body.
His strong Martial Path Intent allowed him to directly jump past the restrictions for his grade directly to Grade Nine.
It was the so-called Spiritual Grandmaster, or what other region Cultivators called the peak of Heaven Realm!
Using Spiritual Sense to sense Heaven and Earth, his connection to the stars, to the spirits all around became clearer and more apparent.
Zong Shou’s eyes flashed, he then took out an item from his hand.
Instantly light shot about, lighting up this dark cave like a star in the night sky.
This was the Light Containing Cinnabar he obtained from the Demon Path cultivator in exchange for the copied version of the Book of Universe.
When he got the item that day he didn’t expect that he could use it so easily.
The endless battles against Prince Jia Mingluo were much better than all sorts of body training methods and also more all-rounded.
Such that he was able to enter the Grade Nine Realm two years in advance.
A ball of red flames burned up and started to scorch the item.
A full hour later this finger-sized stone melted into a red liquid.
Zong Shou took out several Spiritual items and added them in. Following this, he formed a pearl-like item with it. Before the item fully hardened, he drew a Spiritual Formation within.
A moment later, the pearl that had swelled up into a Dragon eye was already formed up.
At this moment it was shining a five-colored Spiritual Light.
Following this, Zong Shou swallowed this five-colored pearl into his stomach.
It continued down into his Soul Ocean.
Following this, there was an explosion that suddenly shook the area. His senses of the sky and stars instantly became much clearer.
Those twelve Spiritual Veins which merged into his body seemed to have a core as they gathered toward the Dantian. They were like a dragon coiling around a pearl as they gathered in the Soul Ocean.
Zong Shou’s brow furrowed and his face wore a weird expression. He carefully observed and then the shock in his eyes grew even thicker.
The True Qi in his body didn’t increase by much. However, the internal energy cycle became smoother. The Nine Chakra Meridians seemed to have a core, True Qi was more freely utilized.
He was able to use more strength at the same cultivation.
The jade pellet was turning the Spiritual Energy gathered from Heaven and Earth in his body into internal energy.
This was the strength of the Light Containing Cinnabar. Spirit Essence Jade Marrow could strengthen a person’s Spiritual Sense. This Light Containing Cinnabar functioned partially like a golden pellet of a Cultivator.
…It was said that all Cultivators would be able to form a pellet in their Soul Ocean when they reached the Celestial Realm.
It was formed from energy, once the pellet changes nine colors one could step into the God Realm!
The Light Containing Pellet in him which was made from the Light Containing Cinnabar could be called a Fake Pellet.
Although it wasn’t a true Golden Pellet, but if a Celestial Realm cultivator and below got it their combat strength could increase by ten to twenty percent.
The Sky Demon Vast Habitat probably knew that he wouldn’t easily release Wuxuan or really wanted to get close to him which was why they did that!
Laughing, Zong Shou looked back into his Soul Ocean.
Apart from the original Eon, Galaxy, Yin, Yang, Lightning, Thunderclap, Thunder, Luck, Stack, Swallow, Purify, Illusion, there were two more Life and Death talismans.
There were a total of fourteen hanging between the Black and White Hole Dharmas. However, at this moment, outside the Soul Ocean there were numerous Spiritual Charms forming.
In just a few months, another True Spiritual Talisman would be formed.
It was the Spit and Spirit, two types of laws.
Spit and swallow were opposite one another. Zong Shou comprehended it day and night, sensing it more clearly by the day.
Only by merging these Heaven and Earth laws, which seemed like they weren’t of much use into his foundations, could the Black and White Hole Dharmas be truly perfected.
As for Spirit, all beings had spirit, it also represented the Spiritual Energy of Heaven and Earth. All people who focused on cultivating the soul in search of the great paths of the galaxy were called Spiritual Cultivators.
To Spiritual Cultivators, the path changed largely and the laws they couldn’t grasp might not be necessary, but if they could gather them, then it would be of much help!
Currently, Zong Shou was trying to get back to the full eighteen True Spiritual Talisman number.
With Dragon Shadow as his master and those many books from the Common People’s Path, he walked fewer wrong paths than normal Spirit Masters.
The more talismans and charms a Cultivator could form before the Celestial Realm, the better it was.
The more runes, the firmer the foundations would be.
However, one still needed to find a way to merge these words together. Some that couldn’t be used would be tossed aside.
At such a time, due to the firm foundations, be it abandoning or merging new laws, the process would consume a large amount of time.
This was why before the Spirit Realm, one had to be really careful to prepare for hundreds and maybe a thousand years into the future.
Like Dragon Shadow, who admitted that because of one wrong step, he stopped at the peak of the Saint Realm for close to six thousand years.
Luckily, the Merge and One laws were easily exchanged and didn’t waste much time. Thus, he also had a chance to step into the End Realm.
Zong Shou didn’t know which path he would walk in the future. Or whether he could walk this Black and White Dharma to the end.
However, nothing would be wrong about merging more laws. At that time, giving up would be easier than adding in.
Since he was talented and could form eighteen True Spiritual Talismans, then he should make good use of it.
A moment later his work for today was completed.
Observing his body, be it his internal energy or Soul Power, they were at their peak state.
He didn’t fear fighting Prince Jia Mingluo for another ten days and nights!
Zong Shou was really eager. Spiritual Sense reached the Heaven Gate at the top of his head.
He could feel that this barrier was showing signs of weakening.
Or maybe he would be able to forcefully break the Heaven Barrier?
Adding in some strength, he felt the resistance get stronger.
Zong Shou’s brow furrowed. He knew that he was still lacking a bit of fire.
This wasn’t the suitable time. A huge war was happening and it wasn’t wise to take the risk now.
He had to at least break through to the peak of Grade Nine in terms of Spiritual Cultivation before he tried.
Ending the cultivation, Zong Shou stood up and left the cave. He walked along the path to a clean stone peak.
The sky was getting darker and dusk was falling.
Looking down, there were units of heavy armored Night Demons walking out from the thick mist, forming up 20 miles from below the mountain. Their eyes were red, fighting intent burning.
Looking beneath the mountain, there were only 90 stone castles remaining.
Even after a day of repair, they were still in a bad state.
Zong Shou’s face turned serious before he relaxed.
Six days had passed since that day. It could be considered the seventh day since this night was the day they would fight to the death.
His body flashed as he flew up 10,000 feet to the peak.
Once up, he saw that everything was prepared here. The 100 Grade Nine Energy-Destroying Crossbows shipped from Donglin were all spread out.
The Commander tent was nowhere to be seen, left with a high platform.
Above was a golden throne that looked like the Avici Throne.
Kong Yao was wearing golden armor with a sword by her side standing beside the throne. She looked really heroic and valiant.
The armor seemed like it was really made out of gold. A golden light shone and one could see it even from a long distance away.
Behind the golden throne was a 300-foot Gantian King Flag.
Beside it there was also another flag which danced in the wind. There was a Kong word sewn onto it.
Zong Shou sat down on the throne and said helplessly, “Was there a need to be so exaggerated?”
Even the high platform was gold. Naturally, it wasn’t as luxurious as the Xiang King but it was 100 feet tall.
However, it made it look really outstanding. Even in the night, under those shining crystals, the golden light flashed, so eye-catching such that one within tens of miles could see it.
One must know that recently in Donglin he had been promoting frugal behavior.
“Subject doesn’t dare to use army resources, it’s just painted with a layer of gold!”
Kong Yao glanced at Zong Shou. When they first met, the Monster King was much more luxurious.
However, for some reason, he became stingy recently.
“Since this is the final battle, then how can I not be ready to die? Since I personally ordered millions of troops to their death, naturally, I must be prepared to die with the enemy! If not how would they serve us? Setting up this golden platform and wearing the golden armor is to tell them that we are here! Kong Yao is here, even if I am afraid to die I won’t take a step back!”
The sword stuck to the ground, giving off a domineering aura.
Zong Shou didn’t pay much attention as he stepped with his foot. It was indeed made with basic iron and not worth much.
He looked toward Kong Yao. The armor just looked good.
He then smiled before turning into it a frown as he looked into the air.
Stars showed themselves and there were no clouds in a 10,000-mile radius.
Who knows what the situation will be like in the day?
“Subject calculated it, within ten days this place will have a blazing sun. Ten days ago I asked my father and that was also what he said. My father was in charge of the Directorate of Astronomy and Calendar for a long time, he is rarely wrong about the weather changes.”
Just one look and she could see what Zong Shou was thinking about. She explained impassively, “Just in case I invited Mingdou and Liehe to take 3,000 Grade Eight Mind Stones from the country treasury to form a formation. If the Night Demons cast a spell we will be able to handle it!”
Zong Shou’s lips twitched. 3,000 Grade Eight Mind Stones? That was 300 Grade Nine, half of the taxes this year…”
Kong Yao smiled widely, her eyes filled with the joy of taking revenge, “When subject uses troops, I just want to cover all areas. Ruler won’t object right?”
Zong Shou was startled and speechless. Following this, he thought back to how Prince Jia Mingluo was one of the eight Night Demon princes so he shouldn’t be poor?
Some anticipation grew in him.
