Divine Brilliance

Chapter 565: Changes of Wanxiang

Energy surged around Zong Shou’s body, lasting for several minutes before ending.

Pretty much each inhalation and exhale would cause spiritual energy fluctuations within a thousand feet.

Such a situation lasted until Zong Shou was able to control each bit of energy in his chakra meridians, each bit of spiritual energy before it stopped.

He felt slightly weird inside. He had never felt so strong in his last life.

From today on, he had stepped out from the shadows of the old Tanqiu and exceeded his achievements of that time.

However, his progress was really too quick. In just a few months, he was able to advance to such a grade.

He could feel that his control over his body was far from before. action

He was only able to freely make use of forty percent of his energy.

As they say, a single nature wouldn’t be able to give rise to growth.

He could feel that the yin and yang true energy within his body was a little unstable.

It was still fine at this moment, but if he didn’t manage to solve this thing before his martial cultivation entered Ninth Grade, he wouldn’t be able to take any steps forwards. It would be best if he completed the marriage soon...

Thinking about Xuanyuan Yiren, Zong Shou couldn’t help but caress his chin and break out into an evil laugh. He felt something and exclaimed, “Oh? You little fellow, you actually woke up!”

His eyes were focused on was his left hand. The current Little Gold was giving out energy fluctuations, numerous lightning glows gathered in the surrounding area.

It had actually reached Grade Nine in one step, using that True Celestial realm Wanxiang Pellet to charge to the border of the Spirit realm. However it was forcefully suppressing itself to not step over that border.

Zong Shou’s brows rose happily. He temporarily stopped thinking about leaving, taking out tens of mind stones and shooting them all over, forming a simple spiritual formation.

On one side it was to the suppress the spiritual energy fluctuation, on the other side to block all those random people who headed over to see the news.

Little Gold’s current situation was different from when he had advanced. Apart from absorbing the essence of the Wanxiang, it also needed to suppress itself from crossing that line. As such it didn’t have much strength to resist these evil beings. Naturally, as a master, he needed to help it do that.

—

Sitting down quietly to protect it, roughly three days later the gathered lightning fully dissipated.

At this moment LIttle Gold’s body had already turned completely gold, sliding down from his arm.

Zong Shou’s spiritual energy reached in just a little and he grinned. This Little Gold might not be that smart, but it knew how to obtain what it needed.

This time it didn’t hesitate to give up on the chance of advancing to the spirit realm, but instead chose to firm up its own body.

Using a portion of Shenxiao’s essence energy to swallow that beast core, and then using that crystal core’s power to train and strengthen its body.

Little Gold might look like a soft ball, but actually the strength of its body was several times that of his!

He watched the body of the little fellow changing. In just a short time it formed into that of a little bunny. Apart from the color of its body, it was extremely similar to the fire feather rabbit which grew to the south of Donglin.

Zong Shou blinked, remembering that he had made it swallow a beast crystal of a fire feather rabbit.

Such changes were only the start. In just a few moments its body twisted once more, wings spreading open. It swelled up several times and flew up into the sky, circling Zong Shou as it spun continuously. Looking at it, it was a red-winged spiritual crane. Flames wrapped around its body, it could replicate eighty to ninety percent of the ability of a real one.

Over the next fifteen minutes, Zong Shou saw Little Gold change into dozens of creatures. All the flying birds in the Cloud World were all replicated completely.

Even those top Grade Nine beasts, it could replicate close to eighty percent of their power.

However, if they were at the God Beast level, then he could only replicate seventy percent.

The current Little Gold could be considered a True Wanxiang, a type of God Beast, only its bloodline wasn’t pure enough.

In the end it formed into a dragon, spreading out a thousand feet, giving off a really majestic aura. Numerous lightning bolts spread out from all around, covering ten miles of land.

It had a pair of wings, looking really similar to his Lightning Winged Dragon in ability and looks. Even the draconic aura was copied.

It was the Lightning Winged Dragon, the Grade Nine level that he had not reached before!

Zong Shou’s gaze turned serious. He knew that this little fellow had swallowed a huge amount of dragon blood, spending every day with the Lightning Winged Dragon. It being able to replicate the shape of it was not surprising.

What was remarkable was that the dragon body was perfect and flawless! The similarity was close to ninety percent!

Even the winged dragon who was hiding on his arm was charmed, surprised that it had met someone of the same race. It flew out from his arm and wanted to play around with Little Gold.

Unfortunately, Little Gold was filled with disdain and totally uninterested. The dragon body changed once more, with a slight shake it twas back to the size of two fists.

This time six wings spread out, its entire body was surrounded by saintly pure white flames. The body seemed human-shaped, two chilling and terrifying knife arms stretched out.

This look was that of the Saint Fire Ant Queen, Hanxi!

The only difference was that the armor color was pure gold. However, the dangerous aura it gave out was no weaker!

Zong Shou’s sleeves shook once more as a silver light shot out, hanging in front of Little Gold.

It looked exactly the same, it was Hanxi!

Its face was expressionless, its eyes were also really calm. Zong Shou could feel that the mood of this Saint Fire Ant Queen was extremely bad.

Killing intent rose up, filled with a threatening intent as it stared at Little Gold.

The latter was already sentient and had sensory abilities. Its eyes squinted and also provocatively waved its right knife arm forwards.

Hanxi couldn’t take it anymore, not bothering about Zong Shou’s soul suppression. Its body turned into light as it pounced forwards swiftly.

Gold and silver instantly turned into many tough to follow afterimages, clashing with one another within a thousand feet of him, spinning around and battling intensely.

He couldn’t see its body, only numerous sparks shining. Their speed exceeded the limit that normal human Grade Nine experts could reach.

At the start Zong Shou tried to suppress them, but in the end he realized that not only was Hanxi furious, even Little Gold was filled with fighting intent. He was to lazy to waste energy, so he sat looking on quietly at the side.

The more it went on, the happier Little Gold got.

Maybe because it had been by his side when he started to cultivate as Zong Shou, but during the intense battle that little fellow could actually use sword intent similar to his.

This battle lasted for fifteen minutes before ending.

The gold and silver images both hung in the air.

Little Gold’s knife arm hung at the center of Hanxi’s brows, stabbing into it. It had pierced the armor, but didn’t harm it much. The aura of the latter was really cold, its expression like a piece of ice that couldn’t be melted. Beneath that ice, hot magma was flowing.

Little Gold didn’t care, its eyes filled with contempt and also looking threateningly at Hanxi before it drew back its knife.

Little Gold flapped its wings and returned to the front of Zong Shou, turning into its soft state and falling onto his palm, fidgeting all about like it was trying to suck up to him and also talk about how good it did.

Its body seemed to be trying to tell Zong Shou to praise it.

Zong Shou broke out into a laugh and knew that Little Gold was fighting for him. Similar to that Lightning Winged Dragon, it was really unhappy about that Saint Fire Silver Ant.

The moment the dragon formed its dragon body and advanced, it threatened Hanxi right away. Little Gold was the same, directly challenging it, beating it head on so as to suppress its flames.

He had his own way to suppress and tame Hanxi, and he actually didn’t need their help.

However, he felt their thoughts. As expected from something he brought up, it knew how to love and dote on its master. Not bad, not bad...

He had a thought and recalled the sword intent that Little Gold replicated. It was really rough and shallow, but it was unique among beasts!

Who knows when it would be able to form into a human shape?

Wanxiang could change into thousands of different things, able to replicate any living being in the world. Humans, apart from having intellect exceeding that of every other race, were just similar to Low Grade beasts.

Using the ability of Wanxiang, it could naturally achieve that easily.

At this moment what Zong Shou was wondering if Little Gold could learn his martial path!

—

He was slightly distracted. When he came back to his senses, Little Gold had turned into a thin layer and covered his hand again.

As for Hanxi, it had returned back into his sleeves, only it was less arrogant then before. It was surprisingly quiet, its spiritual sense also much dimmer and darker.

Zong Shou broke out into a laugh, too lazy to bother about it. He once again drove his sword into the air and continued west. He flew out hundreds of miles before he frowned and looked towards the south.

On that side, a vast and heavy yin energy surged into the heavens like a giant pillar.

He remembered that was the place where Gong Xinran was buried. He could see that the energy there had nearly turned into physical form.

Numerous evil beings and dead items were gathered there. “The yin veins seemed to have increased again?”

Zong Shou’s brows rose as he thought about it. He knew that it was most probably due to the spiritual wave.

It caused more yin veins to be led to this place. Many of them had only formed recently.

Even if he wasn’t good at any demon-chasing and evil being-avoidance techniques, he knew that this situation wasn’t right.

Based on what Jin Buhui said, Gong Xinran should be reborn several years from now.

However, why did it feel like she would be able to get out in just a few months?

In the past that problem belonged to the Lingyun Sect, and he was gloating at that time. At this moment, the entire Donglin Cloud Continent was under his control.

This Gong Xinran had became his problem, and as such he couldn’t laugh anymore....

As expected, everything was predestined. He personally caused this matter, so he had to solve it himself, too...
