Divine Brilliance

Zong Yuan was startled as he heard that. H looked towards Zong Shou in shock. His ruler stirred up storms everywhere he went.

He could force Lingyun Sect to move their base that they had ran for close to ten thousand years. Wasn’t he a little too strong?

Yin land? Nine Yin witch? He didn’t know what they were, but they sounded quite amazing.

Gong Yue’s expression changed, a bright glow shining in his eyes, “Your highness you mean my Sister can come back to life?”

“Come back to life? I don’t know if that counts…”

Zong Shou’s face was still dark and sunken, after sighing, seeing that Gong Yue’s face was filled with joy, he decided to say something to crush his hopes such that the fellow didn’t have too much anticipation.

“We should be able to keep the memory from before but as for whether or not it is still Xinran, then I wouldn’t know. The nine yin witch is formed by the yin energy of an extreme yin land, correlating with the laws of heaven and earth. Legend had it that it is a princess from the underworld, favored by the underworld. She would have absolute top talent. Her power at birth could be compared to ascended ancestors, all her Yin element cultivation methods would be learned right away. Her personality will be different due to the difference in the way she was formed, some were violent, some loved to kill. Anyways, there were 3 nine yin witches recorded in the history books, and they weren’t any who was gentle and kind. Every time they appeared, life was destroyed and at least ten million people would die…”

The more Gong Yue heard, the more shocked he was, his face turning ashen white. If this was true, then he would rather his sister just rest in peace.

Zong Shou was conflicted, thinking about how this calamity was caused by him he felt emotional.

“Is there no way to stop it? If Return to Sun and Day wandering can’t stop it then what about Body Forming and True Image realm experts?”

Jin Buhui was expressionless, “I thought the same way days ago. I invited my teacher along with 2 True Image realm elders of Lingyun Sect to act to try to break that top yin land. In the end, an underworld emperor interfered from another world along with who knows who destroyed the Demon Mountain Sect nearby. In the end, the vengeful blood of many grade 7 experts was absorbed by the nine yin veins and nourished the yin land. The 3 of them suffered injuries and lost some soul power. It caused the time for Gong Xinran to reappear to raise by 7 years. There seemed to also be a new yin vein forming below…”

Zong Shou exclaimed, his mouth opened wide. He wanted to smash his head into the ground, how were things so coincidental?

He also thought to himself that those 3 True Image experts were a little too useless.

The so called underworld emperor was just an expert of the underworld. The underworld wasn’t other small or big worlds but it was also within the cloud world. It represented inside and outside, yin and yang.

During the cloud desolate era, the underworld suffered lesser damage. There was also some intelligent people who planned in advance to maintain the spiritual wave. Till this date, they were still able to accept a portion of the people on the celestial path.

The netherworld emperor there used the top yin land to interfere through the worlds, that was something True Image spirit masters definitely couldn’t do anything to.

Jin Buhui said despondently, “As for what happened next, nothing more was done. My teacher said that this was destined by the heavens, for Donglin Cloud Continent to face this calamity. Speaking of which you can’t be blamed and naturally couldn’t my teacher…”

Zong Shou laughed coldly, this was a way to push the blame. Outside of the nine veins to add another one, that was breaking passed the heaven number of 9, which meant that this girl would not be restricted by the heavens.

He didn’t dare imagine what kind of situation would happen when that Gong Xinran comes back to life.

However, he didn’t dare ridicule him, after all, he was the main cause of it all.

In his heart he was planning on whether or not he could use their relationship to let this senior sister Xinran harm other places, at least protecting Cloud Saint City such that it wouldn’t be lost.

“So that’s the case! Since the heavens want this nine ying witch to reincarnate, then we have no choice and we can only follow.”

Sighing slightly, Zong Shou’s expression was one of heart pained and helplessness, “What a waste that my Donglin Cloud Continent is going to be wiped out, a killing calamity is about to descend. Who knows how many people would die, I wish I could sacrifice myself instead…”

He made his mind up that when the time comes he would try his best to stop it. If he couldn’t, then he would just look on and make preparations to flee.

His Gantian Mountain should not go beyond their bounds and not stretch out their arms towards the east of Donglin Cloud Continent.

“Your highness is truly a righteous ruler, no wonder you could form the sword of the king.”

Jin Buhui seemed to not understand Zong Shou’s thoughts as he felt touched as he heard what Zong Shou said, “Actually your highness doesn’t have to blame yourself, this matter is not your fault. The heavens are just borrowing your hands, it wasn’t your intention. Even if there is karma you won’t have to bear it. This was what my teacher and those two true spirit realm spirit masters from Lingyun Sect said.”

“Although that is the case, I still feel ashamed. Brother Jin doesn’t have to call me your highness, just call my name.”

What Zong Shou waited for was for Jin Buhui to say those words. In the future, when Gong Xinran caused that huge calamity and if those proper path sects wanted to blame someone, Zong Shou would be able to say something.

He fake scolded himself a few words before he told Gong Yue, “That book of martial secrets is one of the wishes of your sister before she died. Now that it is in your hands you have to take good care of it. This item is mysterious and that Demon Mountain Sect craved it, hiring Gao Yi to set up that cheating situation to try to steal this item. In the future, if you can solve it you would be able to release your sister’s intent…”

Jin Buhui at the side came from the righteous path, the tag of Haoxuan Sect was also much stronger than Lingyun Sect.

Zong Shou wasn’t worried that he would be greedy or he would inform others. Doing this would instead show his desire to get close and that he trusted him. On one side it was to give pointers to Gong Yue whilst it was also to remind him to remember this favor.

Although it was a little despicable, Zong Shou was a shameless person who didn’t care about his face.

The dead reincarnates, this theory had no connection with what one did when one was alive. But after all, one used the body and soul from when one was alive, which was why she might keep some of the relationships and feelings from when she was alive.

The higher the level the more easily such a situation would appear. To bury a chess piece early on wouldn’t be the wrong decision.

Gong Yue was astonished and flipped open the book of martial secrets to try to search for the secrets hidden within.

That Jin Buhui gave an emotional sigh” I, old Jin, came over to Donglin Cloud Continent, spending close to half a year for the Demon Mountain Sect and extreme yin land matter. Although my cultivation didn’t fall I hadn’t achieved anything. However, to be able to make friends with your highness, I have no regrets…”

He looked at Zong Shou in shock and respect, “You are only 14? Only 4 years younger than I, old Jin. You can fight on the same level as me. I don’t know how you did it but with such ability. If my few friends find out, their jaws will drop.” His tone was filled with a like knows like meaning.

This time it was Zong Shou who was surprised. Looking at the fatty, he seemed at least 24-25, it was even possible if one said he was 27-28. Who knew he was so young.

He knew that this person was one of the future leaders of the central continent and was arrogant. However, he didn’t know how old and what his background was.

“I relied on the king path secret technique, how am I on your level, brother Jin…”

They blew each other’s trumpet however just as they were halfway through they were interrupted by a mournful howl.

The expressions of the few of them changed immediately, they pretty much felt that cold and strong intent surging over at the same time.

“It is the ant queen! She isn’t far away!”

Jin Buhui sucked in a deep breath, his face frowning like a bitter gourd, “This time it’s bad, if things go wrong I will die here.”

Once the number of ants numbered above 10 thousand, the demon fire crystal queen could enter through grade 7. Although it had no combat strength, it was sentient.

If it arrived here, it could help to raise the combat strength of all the crystal ants several times!

The soldier ant king who was guarding beside had combat strength even higher than the 6 winged flying ant.

At this moment even Zong Shou was thinking about fleeing. At most he would have to use that common people path token to instantly bring Zong Yuan to enter the vast habitat…

As for Gong Yue, if he had no choice, he would only have to use the empty token on this fellow.

Surprisingly when those demon fire crystal ants heard that howl they didn’t continue to attack, instead, they faded like a wave. These crystal ants came quick and left cleanly, in a blink of an eye one didn’t see any traces of them anymore.

Zong Shou was unfazed, immediately waving his hand and picking up the thousands of ant corpses into his heaven and earth-bag.

He didn’t take it all, leaving a portion in a phony manner for Jin Buhui, the overall amount was 1/40 of the total.

The latter was a little slower and could only look viciously at Zong Shou, “Brother Zong, you are my biggest enemy!”

Zong Shou laughed involuntarily, knowing that with that fellow’s personality would he even be courteous? If he was slow, he wouldn’t even be able to get a little bit of the corpses below.

Following which his brows furrowed, “What happened today seems weird all around. Why did these demon fire crystal ants appear here?”

“What else can it be because? Those demon fire crystal ants are raised by someone. This person is really lucky and found the egg of a queen ant left from ancient times. He then made it its protector beast. For some reason, that person was led here. Today you and I are just unlucky…”

One sentence caused everyone’s body to shudder. Jin Buhui seemed to be unwilling to speak anymore as he sat cross-legged on the stone.

Although the ant wave had retreated, no one dared to jump off the giant stone and left, just waiting quietly.

A moment later, weeping sounds spread out on the side of the Linhai College people.

Before this with an enemy in front of them, no one dared to think during the nervous situation. Until now, these Linhai College disciples realized that half of their teachers and fellow brothers and sisters had died in one night, buried in the mouths of the crystal ants.

After Zong Shou sighed, he used illusionary spells to block out the crying. Then, he entered a meditative state beside the fire.
