Divine Brilliance

Chapter 790: Problems With The Dao

“The outer region is dangerous, be careful. You are the famous Blood Sword Monster Lord, don’t die outside!”

Zong Shou laughed when he heard this. This was already the third person who had said this to him.

Although she had a weird tone, she was genuinely concerned.

“I will be fine. As for Junior Sister taking charge of the Vast Habitat, you will be facing problems from inside and outside of the Cloud World. You will probably have problems these next few decades. Don’t let my cultivation leave you so far behind.”

Shui Lingbo was so furious she sucked in a deep breath. She stopped worrying about him and left right away.

Zong Shou’s lips curled and then he focused in front of him. With just a gaze, all the information within the scroll was memorized immediately.

He calmed down and meditated, playing it out in his head and comprehending it. In just four hours, he comprehended a large part of it.

“This technique is really good, it can really go down to the smallest detail! In just 3-5 years, all my problems will be able to be solved. Who was the one who created this?”

Normal cultivators, apart from those who used external powers to gain their Daos, wouldn’t be able to use this technique.

Zong Shou viewed the last sentence of words in the scripture.

It was the name portion that caused him to be stunned.

Xi Zi...

The one who created this technique was the Common People’s Path Ancestor.

So that was the case!

10,000 years ago, Ancestor Xi Zi was probably like him, improving too quickly. His True Qi and Soul Power was too strong and he nearly lost control of it.

The only thing was that he had Seniors to look back on while Xi Zi had no similar techniques to learn. He could only create this technique himself.

10,000 years ago that benefitted him...

Zong Shou smiled. Seven drops of Essence Blood shot out from his fingertips.

He then activated the incantation, causing the Essence Blood to change in the air, forming a Restriction Word Talisman.

Four of them entered his palm. One was at his brow where his soul was, while one was at his heart.

The last one sunk down into his Energy Ocean.

When the technique was completed, his restless energy instantly calmed down.

Seven talismans forcefully suppressed all of his True Qi. They restricted it within his Chakra Meridians, unable to move at all.

It was the same within his Soul Ocean. The raging Soul Power Ocean solidified.

The only thing was that Zong Shou was unable to utilize them.

“What a waste, the technique still has some flaws! Once I use it, my cultivation will be unable to improve. It seems like Ancestor Xi Zi didn’t perfect it!”

Maybe after solving the problem of his swelling True Qi, he tossed this aside as he didn’t have enough time to perfect it.

Anyway, this Seven Cycle Xuantong Full Restriction did have quite a few flaws.

However, these were just small details, these small flaws wouldn’t affect the effectiveness of the technique itself.

He was most worried about was the explosively increasing strength.

Before he totally controlled it down to the minute details, it was best if he didn’t consider cultivating.

He activated the spell and then the Seven Restrictions all condensed to a small dot.

The strength of the restriction instantly reduced by half. His True Qi and Soul Power was once again unrestricted.

Zong Shou’s eyes flashed as he was beaming with joy.

“70% strength! In just half a breath, it could increase to 90%...”

The technique wasn’t as Shui Lingbo had said, able to use all the strength when one battled. It could only release around 70% of it.

However, this 70% strength was instantly unsealed without any problems at all!

As expected from a technique that Xi Zi created, it was really extraordinary! It gave him so many surprises.

Zong Shou didn’t want to be too weak during these 2-3 years when he restricted and dealt with his True Qi and Soul Power such that others would plot against him.

This technique gave him what he needed.

After solving this biggest problem, Zong Shou heaved a sigh of relief. The worry in his heart was gone and he started to casually view and flip around in Book Hiding Hall A.

He memorized as many scrolls as he could.

Although the small world within the hall was just 10,000 feet, there were a huge number of books and scrolls.

Most of them were cultivation learnings and notes from Common People’s Path experts and factionless cultivators, their comprehensions of the Grand Dao as well as what their hearts went through.

Whether they succeeded or not, they could help people save time and act as examples.

After 10,000 years of accumulation, naturally it was as huge as an ocean.

Zong Shou didn’t eat nor drink, neither sleep nor rest, spending close to a month and he was still only able to flip a tenth of the books within.

He knew that he didn’t have much time left. He looked around unwillingly before finally leaving and stepping out.

His goal was the Technique and Method Teaching Pavilions.

During these two years, he wasn’t within the Vast Habitat and naturally wasn’t able to obtain many merit points.

However, from killing dozens of Taoist Faction Experts, he had obtained many Mind Stones and numerous Taoist Books.

He left a large portion at Gantian Mountain and a small portion which he had read, after leaving a copy, he brought it over.

He had huge gains from using exchanging them.

Zong Shou wanted to go from complicated to simple to form the Dao word. He had to merge all Daos into one.

However, to date he only had one concept in his mind.

He lacked a proper understanding of the meaning of Dao.

Since the tribulation, he spent several days silently comprehending, but he didn’t gain much, so naturally he didn’t have many improvements.

He felt that this future was really problematic, there were 10,000 mountains and thousands of large rivers to cross.

However, he definitely wasn’t a person who backed down from difficulties and instead they ignited the determination in him.

If the mountains were high, he would slash them, if the rivers were huge, he would break through!

He didn’t believe that he couldn’t succeed!

At this moment, he was unable to comprehend the true meaning because his cultivation wasn’t sufficient and because his accumulations weren’t deep enough.

Apart from comprehension, he also needed a fortuitous encounter.

Zong Shou wasn’t willing to be on the back foot. He used the dumbest method.

...Didn’t this Dao encapsulate all 3,000 Daos? Then, he would first strike from these 3,000 Daos.

Wouldn’t that be the same as totally grasping all of them?

He didn’t believe that after that he would be unable to comprehend the essence of the Dao word.

He was in a daze for several days as he memorized all these books.

Zong Shou was finally satisfied. However, before he left he obtained three Star Shining Talismans from Shui Lingbo.

It was said that these were written by a few Saint Realm Experts from the Sect. This Celestial Talisman didn’t have much function nor killing strength.

However, once it was used, a star would appear in the skies of the hundreds of worlds around.

As long as people from the Common People’s Path saw it, they would all rush over.

Zong Shou wasn’t an arrogant person. The outer regions weren’t like the Cloud World and there were many Celestial Realm, even God Realm Experts.

He could do whatever he wished in the Cloud World, but he wasn’t much outside.

If he faced someone he was no match for, he could ask for help from his other sect disciples. That wouldn’t be a shameful thing.
