“You really went to Liao King palace?”
Jueyu had predicted that Yuan Wushang would head over to the Liao Land. What he didn’t expect was for him to appear here.
“Didn’t you also head to the Yang Family’s Xue state?’
Yuan Wushang laughed, seemingly knowing what Jueyu was curious about, explaining on his own accord, “I bumped into Li Wuhui there and we acted together. In the end my injuries were probably less which was why I rushed over to try to find problems with the Yang Family. In the end I saw that the Xue State City was in chaos…”
The Xue State City referred to the feudal land that Great Shang gave to the Yang Family. It may not have been as large as Donglin but the population density was no less.
It was a core area in the central continent, where there were large plots of fertile land. The production was not something that Donglin could compare to.
Whilst he said this, Yuan Wushang sucked in a cold breath, like his wounds were hurting. Moments later he laughed heartlessly, “The Liao King is really amazing, he has four Spirit Realm experts. It wasn’t easy for me to escape. It seems like the Cloud World is going to change. There are many hidden currents surging!”
Jueyu kept silent, on his trip to Xue State, there were also three Spirit Realm Cultivators.
If not he also wouldn’t have been injured to such an extent.
Following this, he saw Yuan Wushang raising his brows at him with a provocative intent, “I killed eight people on this trip to Liao Land, how many did you kill?”
To people like them they didn’t bother about normal Cultivators. Only Grade-9 Cultivators and above deserved a little consideration by them.
Jueyu wasn’t as bored as Yuan Wushang, replying impassively, “Five people!”
Yuan Wushang held his breath. Although the number was smaller than his, he was only able to kill this many on the side of Liao Land because of Li Wuhui.
Shifting away his head guiltily, Yuan Wushang scoffed coldly, “It seems like we have answered to Zong Shou.”
The Liao King and Yang Family forces plotted against Zong Shou, although it originally had nothing to do with them. However, if not for the six of them surrounding him and forcing him, he wouldn’t have fallen to such a stage where he nearly fell into the trap.
Yuan Wushang also repaid kindness and took revenge for hate, not willing to owe anyone anything.
Following this, he recalled something, “Didn’t you say you wanted to fight with me again? Today I can let you have three swords!”
“I am not interested!”
These words were a huge shock to Yuan Wushang’s heart and Jueyu laughed coldly, “With Zong Shou in front of me why would I search for you? Have you seen people who eat delicacies, why bother with such crude dishes like yours?”
Yuan Wushang was startled. Then, he wasn’t annoyed but instead he laughed out loud.
He understood the meaning of these words. After experiencing the battle against Zong Shou in the underground lake, he also wasn’t interested in battling Jueyu.
“Li Wuhui told me that he wanted to leave the Cloud World. Then what are you planning?”
The piece of the void was instantly silent once more.
Jueyu half closed his eyes and suddenly spoke, “Who knows what the outer region looks like?”
It sounded like he was asking Yuan Wushang, but he knew that Jueyu was actually just muttering to himself.
He had made a trip to the outer region; there were many worlds with no spiritual energy at all and many which could be compared to the Cloud World.
Their martial techniques and spells were totally different from the Cloud World. Naturally there were many heroes and talents too.
Just as he was thinking about it, Jueyu had suddenly flew up.
“A real man will rely on his sword to sweep the world! Staying in the Cloud World has no benefits to me. Heading to the outer region does not seem bad. Let me test and experience the experts of other worlds with the sword in my hand..”
After he finished, he didn’t bother with Yuan Wushang and simply directly followed the Spiritual River and headed out.
Yuan Wushang burst out laughing. What big words, let’s hope he doesn’t get his face covered in dirt next time!
Shaking his head, Yuan Wushang also left the place. He left in a totally different direction from Jueyu but he also left the Cloud World.

At this moment, Zong Shou was sighing in Gantian Mountain.
Since that mess that day, he sent Renbo and the others away. Then, in the next few days he turned into a human seal, taking out the accumulated documents of this half a year one by one to deal with them.
Actually, there weren’t any important matters. The truly important ones were already dealt with by Renbo and the few cabinet scholars.
If they really had to wait until now it would be too late.
Those documents sent to his desk were things he approved of. Once he placed his seal on it, it became law in Gantian Mountain. This was why Renbo and the others didn’t dare to neglect it.
A full three days passed and Zong Shou nearly collapsed.
However, this wasn’t the most tragic thing. A few days after, for some reason Xuanyuan Yiren ran after seeing him. Her face flushed red as she hid in the pill room, not willing to come out at all.
Zong Shou raged, demanding for his wife to spend the night with him to execute Dual Cultivation. Xuanyuan Yiren simply replied a single word, wasn’t there concubine Yao? The back palace needed harmony so as a husband how could Zong Shou be so biased.
If he didn’t want concubine Yao wasn’t there Ruoshui? Why not take Chuxue back!
Zong Shou could only retreat in defeat, retracting his heart and focusing on his cultivation.
Within the cultivation room he used the Book of Eon Extreme Life to accelerate time flow. One day was comparable to 100 days.
At the start, it was naturally to study half of the Book of the Universe he snatched over.
However, after a few days Zong Shou laughed coldly.
The one who replicated the book was really so venomous.
The scriptures in the book seemed enlightening at first, like every word was a drop of wisdom, infusing knowledge and solving questions instantly.
However if one followed it to cultivate, one would be able to grasp huge amounts of space laws.
However, if one spent too long, even if one’s cultivation doesn’t become useless, one would go crazy.
It seemed totally perfect, however the paths within were in conflict with itself.
He had the Book of Eon Extreme Life to deduce from which was why he was able to notice it. Who knows what would happen if others obtained it.
He didn’t have the mind to bother, anyway, he wasn’t the one that being plotted against.
Although he knew that the book was preposterous, he still spent a lot of effort to memorize the details within it.
A few days of research and he was able to confirm something. He had truly obtained the Book of the Universe.
Although there were many hidden traps within the book, there were many areas describing the true meaning of space, deducing what is real and fake. This was very helpful for him.
Following this, Zong Shou tossed the book aside and didn’t bother. He focused on digesting the underground battle as well as his comprehension of their martial path and spells.
Those mind stones were also thrown out like water, continuously smashing apart, turning into pure Spiritual Energy and injecting into the Book of Eon.
300 days later, after he spent nearly all of his money, his brows suddenly froze.
He could roughly glimmer at the barrier.
