Dragon Shadow also seemed to notice Zong Shou’s situation, bursting out into a laugh, “You still haven’t given up? It is not that I am looking down on you, forget about the ones in front. This final puzzle is one that even spirit and celestial realm experts might not be able to solve. Without enough sword path accumulation, you will hurt yourself instead!”
Zong Shou didn’t bother to believe if what he said was true or false, quietly holding onto his sword, letting time to flow. Who knows how long had passed before a bright glow flashed in his eyes.
“The importance of this sword is in the stack word, right? Ten thousand years ago master Dragon Shadow had never truly merged those 9 types of true dragon sword techniques, but instead just stacked the several forms of sword intents…”
That Dragon Shadow old man was instantly astonished, “You solved it?”
When he said, that intent crazily injected over, like it had lost its mind as it swiftly teleported everyone within the cave out of it.
A short moment later Dragon Shadow old man finally realized the difference in the way Zong Shou had addressed him. His tone was filled with disbelief, “You called me master? Master Dragon Shadow?”
Zong Shou didn’t reply, whereas Dragon Shadow laughed out loud, filled with a frenzied happiness. Following which he let out ‘hei”, as he instructed, “Zong’er you don’t know how to go about things. This sword path is so deep and mysterious, so how can you display it to others. Luckily I reacted quickly. If you break the last puzzle and others saw it that would be a loss! However, your last sentence was correct but also wrong. Ten thousand years ago indeed I was unable to, but ten thousand years later, that might not be the case…”
Zong Shou’s brows rose up, he didn’t ask and was unwilling to be distracted now. His thoughts were the fastest he had ever been since he was born and was crazily spinning. Numerous pieces of different sword arts, the theories of numerous sword techniques flashed across frenziedly in the head.
All these scenes all stopped and formed a mark, allowing him to finally stab out once more with the sword. A loud dragon roar sounded out once more in the case.
However this time it didn’t come from the true dragon shape on the reflective wall but from behind Zong Shou. The 9 dragon shadows all roared out furiously like they were going to shake the heavens and tear apart the earth.
The purple sword light flashed across 9 times in a row as he stabbed at the eyes of the dragon, in successive motion like it was just one sword!
…This was the final mystery behind the nine dragon shadow sword, the 9 sword techniques stacking into 1!
Drawing the eyes of the dragon, the dragon-shaped carving on the reflective wall suddenly shone a spiritual glow! A moment later the entire wall started to collapse.
A light suddenly rose up from within and charged into that incomplete dragon shadow.
Then the illusionary and fake dragon body suddenly became real. Its eyes flashed a spiritual glow. The giant dragon head suddenly lowered as it stretched towards Zong Shou.
The voice of the old man suddenly rose up once more, “Little brat you comprehended the mysteries behind the sword soul. You are actually at such a level right after you stepped in…”
Zong Shou’s thoughts are extremely clear, in the last life he borrowed the god-emperor game to nearly grasp the sword soul level. As for the sword spirit level he had already had a glimpse of some of the important points.
However, after all, it was a little different in real life. There were many rules, many phenomenons which are unable to show in a virtual environment and what he lacked was only just that.
The effects of the reflective wall towards him were in that sword which he used to draw the eyes of the dragon.
It caused the incomplete sword soul that he had grasped before to finally be completed, letting it break the ‘wall’!
…
Still Dragon Gathering mountain, in the skies floated several grade 8 experts who had weird expressions in their eyes.
“I recognize this kid. He is the newly appointed monster king of Gantian Mountain and is called Zong Shou. Some people say that he is trash that is unable to cultivate whilst others say that he is a sword path genius never seen in ten thousand years. It’s hard to differentiate between real and fake. I heard that a year ago he had once gone towards Pill Spirit Mountain to try to join Lingyun Sect…”
The person who spoke was a grade 8 expert from Daoming Sect. He said it whilst looking with a weird expression towards Ling Lie.
Not only this one but the other people around who knew a little part of the story all had weird expressions on their faces.
Rage appeared in the eyes of the latter, at this moment his mood was extremely complicated.
Zong Shou had once gone to Lingyun Sect to try to join them, in the end, he was forced to return. Pretty much the entire Donglin Cloud Continent knows about that. Everyone knew that.
Talking about this matter, Lingyun Sect did mess up this time. When Zong Weiran was still in the world, he did help Lingyun Sect disciples several times. That wasn’t a secret in the entire cloud world.
However, if that was the only case then at the most Lingyun Sect would just be mocked by others.
However, Zong Shou not only defeated the alliance army of 3 cities a month ago, shocking everyone.
At this moment he had solved the nine dragon shadow sword puzzle left by Dragon Shadow old man. This was something worthy of a lot of attention.
Ling Lie could even guess that if Zong Shou obtained the legacy of that dragon shadow old man what would happen to the state of Lingyun Sect.
The Zong family son, the son of someone who helped them was unreasonably chased out by their Lingyun Sect.
Who knew that this person who they saw as trash, someone who they abandoned was such a top sword path talent!
…Not only were they ungrateful, but they also have no eyes too!
Their reputation dropping in the cloud world was a predictable thing. It would even affect the luck of the sect.
In the past, numerous hidden things will be dug out by people one by one.
Liang Miaozi’s barbaric and unreasonable actions, Zong Shou breaking the Sky Sword Platform in 160 breaths, and also the 12 god talismans. 2 months ago, Long Ruo allowed Yue Guanyun and the various sects to assassinate Zong Shou…
All things wouldn’t be able to be hidden anymore.
Scoffing coldly, Ling Lie’s face was filled with a cold smile, “Senior brother Huang is good with your news. This Zong Shou did indeed try to join my Lingyun Sect but his talent was too bad, he also has hidden problems which was why we didn’t accept him. His comprehension is not bad, unfortunately, he has dual meridians…”
The moment he said that Ling Lie looked about, only seeing the people around all expressionless and not believing what he said.
The truth was indeed that. To saint realm experts, the so called dual meridian body wasn’t much of an obstacle.
If one was willing to pay a price, then reshaping the body wasn’t something difficult.
Ling Lie scoffed coldly in his heart, following which he said expressionlessly, “I think all of you don’t know that apart from that, this kid has barriers from heaven and a broken soul. Not letting him join and cultivate is the best for him.”
The people around were instantly silent, silently acknowledging his words.
If one said that a dual meridian body was just difficult in cultivation, then the barriers from heaven were pretty much sealing up all the paths for martial cultivation. As for broken soul body, it destined that this kid wouldn’t need to think about having many achievements in spiritual cultivation.
At this moment the people in the Yun Xiang illusionary image all suddenly disappeared one by one.
Just a moment later many people appeared at the mid-waist of the mountain.
They were the elite disciples of the many sects, all of them seemed to be like awakening from a dream, following which their faces were filled with regret.
The true dragon shape had already reached the last step, however, all of them weren’t able to witness it.
The grade 8 experts in the sky all laughed and weren’t surprised. However, they were more focused as they looked on at the image formed from the cloud mist.
Only Ling Lie’s expression changed slightly. Out of the group of people, the only thing he didn’t see was Long Ruo and the other 2, only seeing Zu Renkuang.
A bad feeling rose up in his heart, did the restrictions and teleportation spell dragon shadow leave fail?
However, Shui Lingbo didn’t focus on the situation below, making seals as she sent an intent into the cave.
Then her expression changed, her body of true qi nearly got into chaos as her hands shuddered. The yunxiang illusionary image also started to twist. Even the mirror glow which reflected into the mountain started to be unstable.
Shui Lingbo decided to dissipate the spell, letting the cloud mist in front of her body to fade.
In the next moment, Xuan Taiji looked over with many questions.
Shui Lingbo’s brows furrowed, angrily saying, “What are you looking at? That Dragon Shadow old man already knows. do you think I can do things in front of a martial saint?”
Her heart was like raging waves, Zong Shou that fellow had comprehended the sword soul!
In the past, she felt that the kid’s sword techniques just showed signs of being one with the spirit but just now that sword was one with the spirit!
Damn it! She cultivated for tens of years but now she was only at the sword sense level.
This little brat was so much younger than her had exceeded her by so much with just one step!
Her heart was filled with much regret. That damned revered one, what a huge loss. If she knew this was the case she would have tried to let the master of Taiyuan Sect compete with Wei Xu.
Suddenly she also comprehended something. She knew why Wei Xu would choose this kid and made him a 2nd generation disciple. Even now selecting a master for him.
With such a disciple, their Taiyuan Sect didn’t have the ability to him well.
…
Pretty much at the same time, in some space of some random place, Wei Xu was sitting casually in the air. His eyes were slightly opened, filled with curiosity.
“Why is my heart rising up and down today? Are so many people thinking about me? Sigh, this god sensory technique is good, but only this part is not…”
“Such strength it has to do with someone who will greatly affect the rise and fall of my common people path. Or is someone whose cultivation is stronger than me! Speaking of which isn’t today the last day of the Dragon Gathering Mountain dragon gate remnant image? Did my junior brother break the mysteries of the nine dragon shadow sword?”
He was filled with questions in his heart and 2 runes flashed in his eyes. Red ruby-like pupils were like 2 blazing suns as he shone on the air.
A moment later he saw a shooting star crazily traveling about in the unlimited stacks of space.
Wei Xu couldn’t help but laugh, “As expected! I didn’t expect that old man to have time when he is anxious!”
