“A few days ago Zhongguang couldn’t take it and fought Aokun. Zhongguan lost badly and could only retreat helplessly. Although they are of the same grade, the difference in combat strength was huge. Your Brother is really amazing! That Zhongguang entered the Saint Realm two thousand years ago but he was only able to last half a day in front of him.”
Shui Lingbo said with a weird expression. Within her heart she admired Zong Shou. This fellow didn’t know about the exact situation of the Cloud World but to actually dared to stand his ground in front of a God Realm expert and directly provoked him. He obviously saw through the lies of Yuanmeng…
Swordsmen feared nothing, however, they needed a strategy to protect themselves. This kid did both correctly.
Zong Shou was startled. Zhongguang? Who was that? He had never heard of him before.
To have the ability to fight with Aokun and who Shui Lingbo said was the same level then naturally he was God Realm. Most probably he was the outer region elder of Daoling Vast Habitat.
However didn’t Aokun just enter Saint Realm? Wasn’t his foundations shaking due to the Destruction Dragon Pellet and his personality not fitting? How could he heavily injure Zhongguang?
For one to enter such a realm one was one in a billion.
The gap in talent was actually really small. Even if there was still a difference in combat strength, that was due to the difference in the strength of the Dao they embarked on.
Since Zhongguang entered Saint Realm two thousand years ago, there was no reason he couldn’t suppress Aokun. Even if the latter grasped the Destruction Dao…
Following which Shui Lingbo continued, “There is one more matter! Your Senior Brother Mingyu told me to tell you that at most in twenty days, Daoling Vast Habitat would have two Saint Realm
experts returning: Fairy Longxuan and Huayun. These two have traveled as a pair for ten thousand years, their name spread far and wide. If it was one of them he could handle it. But if this couple worked together, even if Aokun and he worked together they won’t be confident in winning. He wants you to be careful…”
“So that was the case!”
With a thought Zong Shou understood why Yuanmeng would be so sharp and arrogant today.
“Junior Sister, you are saying that Yuanmeng didn’t dare attack was because he was worried about my Brother and also because these two Saint Realms are about to return and he wasn’t willing to risk it?”
He felt a slight regret in his heart. Before this, he nearly though that Yuanmeng was really scared off by him.
However this was for the best. He was a little more confident in what he was going to do later.
“You are a smart one!”
Shui Lingbo smiled and nodded her head, “So Senior Master Han wants you to slow down! The Taoists have a deep foundation. Although there is no one apart from Yuanmeng who can fight you, above the Vast Habitat, there is the Heavenly Place. There are hundreds of Gods. Although many are sleeping and recuperating, the Taoists might go crazy and open it to invite one or two of the old generation to descend.”
Zong Shou’s brow rose. Heavenly Place? Older generation?
He had heard about the Heavenly Places, three of them which was above the five Vast Habitats.
Taoist and Demon each had one. However the Confucians held the biggest one.
Although they didn’t have a Vast Habitat, they had a Heavenly Place. It was said that no one in the world knew where that Bailu Heavenly Institution was built at.
Within the Heavenly Place, they worshipped and prayed to the ancient Sages. The vast and heroic energy was something no cultivator, be it Demon or righteous, dared to get close.
The Taoist one was the most mysterious.
Sword Sect split off from the Taoist Faction, which was why they shared Heavenly Place with the Taoist Faction now.
The Buddhist Faction and Common People Path, one came from outside and one split off from Confucianism. They were ostracised by the many sects and factions of the Cloud World so they were unable to have their own.
As for the older generation, when Yan Fan and Shui Lingbo fought to get him in, they raised it up many times.
He still wasn’t clear what kind of existence they were.
He was curious and wanted to ask. However now wasn’t the time.
He didn’t pay much attention to it as he directed the pill to dissolve.
Blood and marrow boiled and more liquid formed. In just a moment a red color returned to his face.
The biggest benefit of this Emperor Wind was that it was neutral and peaceful.
At the start it was really basic. With the foundations not built bit by bit, its strength would maybe even weaker than those of small countries. However, once one trained it to the ninth layer, one would be able to use the strength of the country to the extreme.
Even this blood sacrifice technique didn’t hurt his core. Using pills he was instantly able to recover a large portion of his essence energy.
When everything was handled within his body, the sharp intent he had retracted charged out once more.
His eyes sharp like a knife, body bursting with fighting intent!
“Although that Yuanmeng is rude but his words are right…”
Shui Lingbo was halfway through her words before she stopped.
Only to see Zong Shou flew up and left the peak.
The blood colored long sword gave out a loud ring, dragons roared from behind him, resonating with his sword intent.
Only then did she feel that it wasn’t right as she flew into the air too. She stepped onto a red cloud-like veil, chasing up in a flash.
“Zong Shou, where are you going? Since Daoling Vast Habitat doesn’t bother about their face then what’s the point of you staying here? Daoling Vast Habitat, you are crazy…”
Shui Lingbo’s face was ashen white, her eyes filled with shock.
The two of them were heading to the south. Another two thousand miles and it was the Daoling Vast Habitat.
Was this fellow really crazy?
Zong Shou smiled and knew that Shui Lingbo came over in orders from Common People Path to ask him to stop.
He also knew that this was the sect being concerned about him and thus he wasn’t annoyed about it.
However the matter couldn’t end just like this.
This time it wasn’t him seeking justice for the million people but also for himself and for Gantian Mountain.
It wasn’t that he was reckless!
“Junior Sister, did you think I chose this Common People Path? I am not dumb…”
Shui Lingbo didn’t bother about what he called her, her brow rose. She thought to herself that wasn’t that what he was doing?
The people all said that Zhao Yanran and her were crazy but this Zong Shou was worse than them!
He dared to kill Wu Xu so what else didn’t dare he do?
Zong Shou laughed without making a sound, “Actually, you can say that I am crazy!”
In front of his eyes, Daoling Vast Habitat was right there!
※※※※
Daoling Vast Habitat, Ten Thousand Soul Lamp Room. Yuanmeng’s face was dark as he retracted the incarnation formed by soul power thousands of miles out.
He entered into a deep thought seriously.
Since Wu Xu died, he had been in charge of this place, temporarily took over all matters.
However this place was really chaotic…
It was a huge mess outside. Close to ten thousand Sect people nearby were all quarreling outside in the vast stone hall. They either used old records, mocked one another or were arguing badly. Some had nefarious intentions and were provoking and stirring up trouble.
They fought for the right to be the next Palace Head. Although it wasn’t up to them, it didn’t stop them from doing that.
Each time after he scolded them, they would be quiet for a while. However after two to four hours, it would restart.
The only thing they didn’t do was pull out their weapons and kill one another.
Luckily they were still reasonable and didn’t rush to him.
The Sect Leaders of the Taoist Factions all paid attention to cultivation which was why the head of the Vast Habitat was like the leader of the religion.
The disciple distribution to the Vast Habitat included tens of thousands of Dao Soldiers, hundreds of Protector God Spirits as well as huge amounts of resources. A slight bias could cause a sect and a faction to benefit greatly.
Yuanmeng wanted to suppress them but behind them there were many Celestial and God Realm, even Saint Realm experts.
Which was why he was too lazy to bother and allowed them to quarrel.
However for some reason, he felt really annoyed today.
Just now although he was sharp and fierce towards Zong Shou but for some reason his heart ached. Why didn’t the Taoist Faction have such a stunning and talented disciple? Why did such a person have to be their enemy?
He felt really depressed and wasn’t willing to stay too long here. With a shake of his body he was outside of the Vast Habitat, on a lone peak.
Looking at the vast Cloud Ocean he felt his heart relax. Only to see that he wasn’t the only one here.
“Qingming?”
Yuanmeng looked below at a blue Taoist dressed girl standing at the cliff.
“You have recovered? That’s good, luckily you are okay. If anything happened to you I really don’t know how I was going to answer to Senior Master!”
“Qingming thanks Senior Master for your care!”
The teen girl bowed and then gave a bitter smile, “Since I wanted to come back myself, if anything happened to me, it would be of my own asking and having nothing to do with you. In the past I was always proud of my ability, others needing a hundred years to do what I could do in ten. I looked down on the Cloud World. Now I finally know that there are people stronger than me, there are mountains taller than mountains. Senior Master’s words were truly correct. However, I dragged down Senior Brother Zigui.”
She asked with a worried tone, “Can Zigui and Wu Xu be revived?!”
Yuanmeng was originally nodding his head with a smile. Although it was dangerous and she suffered from failure but her heart was trained. When he heard that he frowned, “Zigui was determined to improve and didn’t leave a protective measure. Wu Xu’s Soul was badly damaged, that Absolute Beginning Sword from Zong Shou even destroyed his second soul. Luckily it still have a lifeforce within the Ten Thousand Soul Lamp Room.”
Qingming understood and asked curiously, “Senior Master went to see Zong Shou today, how was it?”
“He is so arrogant so naturally he wasn’t willing to agree!”
His eyes opened wide with rage, filled with a cold intent, “No worries, he is alone and wouldn’t be able to cause many waves! We have already lost all our face so we don’t mind losing more. As long as Huayun and Longxuan Great Senior Masters return, we will be able to kill that kid in a few months!”
Qingming’s eyes were filled with delight, killing intent appearing on her face.
In that instance a red glow appeared in the sky in the distance.
“Is there anyone from Daoling Vast Habitat willing to fight?”
A loud and clear voice reverberated through the sky.
Yuanmeng was startled, then his face turned ashen white.
