Chapter 523: Silverlight Spirit Shield

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

“Ruler, this person is Donglin cultivator Ling Xueyun! He lives nearby. I followed your orders to invite grade cultivators to join our Gantian Mountain, which is why I had the opportunity to witness Your Highness battle once more. My congratulations for beating Yuan Wushang! Of the Six Pinnacle Swords of the Cloud Continent, you are now the strongest.”

Zong Shou’s brows rose up. Thinking back, he had indeed sent out the talisman to order Gantian Mountian’s officials to recruit grade-9 cultivators into Gantian Mountain.

However, he didn’t expect that Renbo would allow Xu Zhengyuan, who had a sensitive identity, to take part as well.

Thinking about it seriously, Zong Shou knew the game Renbo was playing. He wanted to make Xu Zhengyuan relax. What Renbo didn’t know was the full situation with Cloud Saint City.

However since this spiritual grandmaster had personally witnessed his sword battle against Yuan Wushang, naturally he could not let him go.

“You name is Ling Xueyun, and you live nearby?”

Seeing that old man bow in assent, Zong Shou’s eyes narrowed slightly. “So are you willing to join my Gantian Mountain?”

Ling Xueyun hesitated slightly, raising his head and looking at Zong Shou, and he sighed. Lingyun Sect had spent so much effort plotting to borrow Yuan Wushang’s sword to kill him.

Who knew that the head of the Six Pinnacle Swords would lose to Zong Shou the moment he retuned to the Cloud World.

347 slices in total, and he had been defeated so cleanly!

The look that the Gantian Monster King tossed in his direction also made his hair stand on end.

It neither an interrogative nor curious look, and he was not asking him or treating him as an equal. He was looking down on him!

He was underestimating him, looking down on him like one who looks down on someone whose life is in their hands.

Ling Xueyun made no protest. With this person’s power, he indeed had the ability to look down on all things.

However, he didn’t want to agree just like that. Ling Xueyun bowed and asked instead.

“If I refuse, what would Your Highness do?”

Zong Shou palmed his sword and smiled, following which he said simply, “Kill!”

Ling Xueyun’s body stopped, and cold sweat beaded on his face. At this moment, he felt that the killing intent of this kid was even higher than when he had beaten Yuan Wushang. His cold gaze was fixed on his neck.

He was definitely not joking. If he really dared to say no, this Gantian Mountain King, this fresh-from-the-oven head of the Six Pinnacle Swords would slice his head off with a sword.

The person in front of him did indeed have the right!

A bitter expression appeared on his face, and Ling Xueyun’s voice was hoarse, “Please allow me to work for Your Highness!”

In truth, he had known long ago that he refusal was not an option.

※※※※

Sixteen hours later, they had moved to the cave that Ling Xueyun lived in.

This place was much stronger than that small island which Fuling Sect lived on. It was said that Ling Xueyun spent several years gathering two large-sized dragon veins in this land.

There was also no need to share with others, which was why although he was grade-9, he was still able to improve his cultivation every year. action

After tens of years of management, Ling Xueyun had even arranged a medium-sized spiritual formation outside, guarding this cave tightly.

When Zong Shou woke from his meditation, a large part of his energy had been recovered.

The outer injuries on his body were mostly healed. However, a portion of them, due to Yuan Wushang’s sword intent, he was unable to get rid of. As such, he could only leave them to slowly recover.

Next would be his internal injuries which were also quite severe. Luckily, his minor and major organs were not ruptured.

Actually, when he had entered the meditative state, Zong Shou spent most of the time researching and studying the world-shocking yin yang true qi in his body.

Since his battle against Yuan Wushang, the internal energy flowing in two of his chakra meridians had started to become connected with his soul power.

Between them there was no disharmony, and it was as though they could be switched with one another entirely.

However, the weaknesses of this world-shocking spirit art were becoming more and more apparent.

As expected nothing could be born with only one aspect...

Zong Shou sighed in his heart. This was why his gaze was a little weird when he woke up. Looking at the few women waiting in the room, there was a green light that flashed in the depths of his pupils.

Ruoshui—a virgin, pure yin body, a great source of replenishment!

Chuxue—a virgin, combat martial body, pure heart, thick yin energy, also a great source of replenishment!

Feihan—also a virgin, with Xue’er’s extremely pure personality, human body dragon blood, also huge potential for replenishment!

Ye Feishuang—forget about it, that was impossible.

As he looked around, Zong Shou came back to his senses and felt as though he were becoming more and more like a monster.

Ye Feishuang felt a chill, being looked at by Zong Shou. She had goosebumps.

Only after the green light was retracted did she feel slightly better. However, for some reason, she felt a little annoyed. Subconsciously, she felt that she needed to pull her sister away, and to get as far as possible from this little fellow. She decisively said, “Since you have woken up, you are probably fine. Feihan and I will take our leave!”

Zong Shou turned his head and shot a look at Ye Feishuang, making no attempt to her. “Miss Feishuang, you can do what you want! I will still say this: if you face any danger, you can take shelter at Gantian Mountain!”

Yet Feishuang only scoffed coldly. She wanted to say some teasing and mocking words, but they stuck in her mouth.

Having witnessed Zong Shou’s battle with Yuan Wushang, she felt that at least within this Cloud World, there were very few people who could stand against him.

However, no matter how strong one was, there was still a limit to individual strength. In a battle between armies, Gantian Mountain should definitely not match up to the Thousand City Alliance, who had the support of many Donglin Sects.

And yet she still did not have confidence in their ability to win.

She said nothing else, intent on pulling Ye Feihan onto the boat, and setting off. The latter pursed her little mouth high in anger. Even when for a moment, she broke free and ran back, she was unable to say many words to Zong Shou.

She could only shake her hands at Zong Shou to express that if it were up to her, she would definitely go to Gantian Mountain.

At the sight of this huge ship speeding out of the cave, Zong Shou sighed slightly, as though he was sad to see it go. In his heart, however, he was thinking that a great source of yin energy replenishment had just walked away, and what a waste it was.

At this moment, Ling Xueyun was beside him, so Zong Shou didn’t hesitate to take out the silver shield that Yuan Wushang had thrown down.

Before this, he had been feeling a little suspicious. How did Yuan Wushang actually manage to use a grade-5 magical treasure shield with his level of ability? That was extremely strange.

Such a grade of magical treasure was far above their level. One would have had to at least step onto the celestial path, and reach the Spirit Realm before they could use it.

Its defensive powers were serviceable, able to block near-Spirit Realm expert level strikes and remain in perfect shape.

Placing it in front of him and taking a close look, Zong Shou realised that it was no ordinary shield. There were actually six indents.

Such a shield could be activated by soul power. One could also use the power of beast crystals and mind stones to activate it. The stronger the beast crystal one used, the stronger the defensive ability.

The crystals that Yuan Wushang had placed in it were totally crushed.

Zong Shou couldn’t help but smile. He had wanted to search for a treasure to give to Xuanyuan Yiren to protect her.

He had not found anything within the Dragon Hall. He had been planning to visit the various cultivator markets to have a look, but before he even started searching, the item had already fallen into his hands.

Zong Shou did not think very hard, before taking out several grade-9 beast crystals of the 5 elements. He placed them in order on the five sides.

However, when Zong Shou looked at the indent and the center, his brow furrowed.

His intuition told him that this middle piece was the most crucial one. It directly affected how much power this magical treasure could dish out.

He did have a few grade-9 mind stones, but their quality was still lacking.

Taking a deep breath, Zong Shou did not hesitate to reach in and remove the darkness demon relic.

Following which, he found a small purification bottle in Luoming’s heaven and earth bag.

He poured out a greenish liquid from within onto the relic.

Instantly, a tragic shriek broke out. A black mist charged out of the darkness demon relic. It looked like a human head, and it flew about, as though it was begging Zong Shou for escape.

Zong Shou showed no mercy, letting more of the liquid drip down. Each green drop caused the black mist to become thinner. After four drops, the black mist was gone, as though it had been completely purified.

Zong Shou laughed coldly, and continued. As he had expected, when the ninth drop fell, the head appeared once more and was finally crushed into pieces.

The darkness demon relic with the demonic thoughts totally expunged was a purer black in colour. When Zong Shou placed it in the center of the silver shield, the artifact began to give off a silver light. The spiritual light dimmed and retracted inside.

Zong Shou smiled once more. Although the silver light had appeared just for a moment, looking at its strength, it was ten times that of what Yuan Wushang had used.

A Spiritual Realm peak relic was really amazing! As long as they were not a Celestial Realm and above expert, no one in the Cloud World would be able to break it.

Even against a Spirit Realm expert, it would be able to last for an hour.

Packing his things, Zong Shou once again released that grand demon god shuttle. Bringing Zong Yuan and the rest, along with the addition of Ling Xueyun, they rose up into the air and flew out.

In just a few hours, they had arrived outside the pill fountain spiritual house of Pill Fountain Sect. Looking at the mountain in the distance, Zong Shou’s brows furrowed when he fell out of sight of the others.

Speaking of which, he had not seen Xuanyuan Yiren for two full years. Who knew what this kind and righteous kid was doing now.

Although he had many eyes and hidden chess pieces in Pill Fountain Sect, nothing beat seeing for himself.

Sighing, Zong Shou placed the silver light shield along with ten beast crystals over grade-9 into his heaven and earth bag, hiding the spiritual light.

Then, he sent a message talisman into the spiritual mountain to search for Xuanyuan Yiren’s aura.

A moment later, a message talisman flew into Zong Shou’s hand.

It was warm and fragrant. Zong Shou swept it with his spiritual sense, and instantly began to laugh.

Although there were only a few words, “received, inconvenient, thanks, think, kiss,” Xuanyuan Yiren had pressed her true emotions into the words to convey them.

Especially that character for “kiss.” Zong Shou subconsciously thought of Xuanyuan Yiren’s embarrassed expression.

This girl really was bold.
