Divine Brilliance

“Oh? I think I can form this stack word true talisman today…”

Within the main hall of the courtyard, Zong Shou closed the thick book in his hand. He was deep in thought.

The many books in the Book Hiding Building were left during the ancient era. There wasn’t paper at that time and they used bamboo and beast leather.

The book in his hand was exactly that. It was called the spirit ocean stack talisman record. It was something he had flipped out 2 days ago from a corner of the Book Hiding Building B.

Within the Book Hiding Building of the common people path, there were spiritual formations to get rid of bugs. The temperature was also really warm such that the book inside wouldn’t decompose even in a hundred thousand years.

However, who knew how many years had passed since this book was read by someone. When Zong Shou flopped it open, it was filled with an unbearable wooden smell.

This book was left by a person known as Linghai Zhenren ten thousand years ago. It was a rare chance and he found the secrets behind the stack word, he tried to stack up spells and talisman to use them.

In the end, Linghai Zhenren had failed. However, before he died he recorded all his understandings and all his trials within this book which fell into the hands of the common people path and was taken out by Zong Shou.

It was not a successful piece, which was why it was buried in dust.

Zong Shou spent 2 full days before he was done with it. There were just 20 thousand words but the words and sentences held deep meaning and he had to understand the meaning within. Within his heart, some of his unclear thoughts were much clearer now.

“So it seems like not only master wanted to use this stack word…”

Breaking into a laugh, Zong Shou’s heart calmed down, entering a meditative state. He looked into his soul ocean, and suddenly spiritual energy surged. When such thoughts rose up, he was unable to stop it anymore as they swept about within his soul.

As expected!

Zong Shou didn’t hesitate at all and he knew that at this moment he reached the best time to form the true spiritual talisman.

With a thought in his mind, those close to a hundred true spiritual charms in his soul ocean flew up from that soul power ocean.

Then they merged one by one. The entire process was extremely smooth, looking out there was a stack word in the sky above the soul ocean.

It also displayed out numerous spiritual marks which connected to the other 7 talismans.

There was even one spiritual vein that was formed and laid out horizontally within the soul ocean. A full 8 spiritual veins, corresponding to the 8 true spiritual charms causing the soul ocean to become more condensed and have more potential. The vast source spirit was replenishing the spiritual energy within at every moment.

There was even a portion which seeped outside of the body.

“Success!”

When the last stack word talisman was formed, Zong Shou felt his soul ocean whirlpool expand once more. It wasn’t as exaggerated as when he advanced to the Return to Sun stage but he increased close to 70% of his spiritual energy!

Even his monster body sensed something. 2 fox ears popped out of his head and there were 6 foxtails that charged out of his back.

“Why did another tail grow? Is there any end to this?”

Regarding his monster body, Zong Shou felt his head hurt. On one side, it was indeed of great help whilst on the other, it was something he wasn’t happy about.

Just as he wanted to retract the foxtails, he felt that the seven tail fox illusionary image in his soul ocean started to change.

It was originally the image of the seven tail fox but at this moment, there was suddenly one more tail.

There was also some message which charged into his mind like a wave, causing his brain to feel giddy.

“It’s the eight tail sky fox? Did my fox race bloodline already evolve?”

Just when such a thought rose up in his head, Zong Shou knew that something was wrong. As expected in the next moment all around his body, those meridians were all twisting and turning, like it was undergoing a huge change.

Within his soul ocean, the eight tail skyfox and the image of the lightning phoenix seemed to have merged together and started to suppress the flames, like it was trying to swallow it!

Zong Shou’s heart was sinking to the bottom, and he knew that the eight tail sky fox and the lightning phoenix—the bloodline which came from god beasts—were working together to get rid of the part of his body which belonged to the human race. Both sides were fighting to the death, the foundations of his world shocking spiritual art were also shaking!

Zong Shou didn’t have the time to bother about the pain which was spreading out of his 4 limbs. He only went all out to try to suppress the swallowing of the bloodline. However, the effects were really minuscule.

Slowly it wasn’t calm between the eight tail skyfox and the lightning phoenix as both of them started to fight and conflict.

He could only laugh bitterly. Who knew that just gathering this 8th talisman would actually cause such a change…

However in the next moment just as the fire element true qi meridian out of his dual meridians were showing signs of weakening.

Suddenly a vast flame current rose up from within the body, like magma as it swept in all directions. The flame which was burning in the soul ocean also grew larger, fighting back against the suppression of the lightning phoenix and the eight tail sky fox like it wasn’t at a disadvantage. Similarly, a huge amount of information charged into Zong Shou’s soul.

It was even larger and together when they charged over it was like a giant hammer smashing down making him nearly faint. As for the lightning phoenix, it followed closely behind. Like the last straw that crushed the camel’s back, causing Zong Shou to lose consciousness.

Luckily, when he came back to his senses, his soul ocean hadn’t burst apart and his body hadn’t blown into pieces.

Zong Shou heaved a sigh of relief and looked at his soul once more, only to see that it had totally calmed down. On the whirlpool, be it the eight tail skyfox or the lightning phoenix, they became more and more clear. He could even see the structure within.

Zong Shou’s mind lastly fell on that flame and entered deep thought.

This was the Lu family’s sky burning blood, ruling 800 worlds. Who knows what kind of glorious aristocratic family could have such a domineering bloodline!

At this moment it just showed the tip of the iceberg and it could suppress the lightning phoenix and eight tail skyfox which didn’t rank low amongst god beasts.

Even if he didn’t obtain the true succession of these 2.

If this went on, when this sky burning blood totally awakened, he wouldn’t be able to suppress it.

Taking in a deep breath, Zong Shou let his mind recover. If he wanted to solve the threat from this blood, it seems like he had to merge in another type of god beast legacy. It also had to be a true water element one to really balance it out.

He had the heaven swallowing energy conversion technique as such it wasn’t difficult. What was finding the suitable water element god beast?

This matter needed to be solved quickly. He could feel that the sky burning blood was crazily amassing energy.

This time due to the skyfox and lightning Pheonix squeezing it, it was forced to advance. The next time it explodes, it would definitely be extremely strong! It should be when he prepares to enter the 7th grade!

“Oh? What is this?”

Within his mind, there was suddenly an unknown consciousness that flowed across.

His heart slightly moved following which he caught it. The expression on his face was really interesting.

It was actually his comprehension of the illusionary spell and even many ways to use it.

However, in his memory, he clearly remembered that he never learned all these skills.

In the next moment, Zong Shou thought back to before at the eight tail skyfox and that flame as well as the lightning phoenix images, the information they injected into his brain.

“I read books that recorded that some humans have special bloodlines. After they strengthen it to a certain level they will obtain the legacy of the bloodline. It is the same within the monster race. Is this unknown information about the memories I inherited? If that is true, then obtaining benefits is a disaster.”

Zong Shou was busy searching carefully in his mind. As expected he found a lot of things scattered about, sometimes they didn’t form a system and sometimes they could be connected together like that of a puzzle to be slowly completed.

Not only was he versed in the illusionary techniques, the lightning phoenix and the Lu family sky burning blood also gave rise to several skills relating to the bloodline. There were even some fire element cultivation techniques that appeared in his brain.

Although they were all the basics, their grades weren’t low.

Zong Shou took in a deep breath and felt that although his soul had gone through a huge change, he didn’t feel tired. Instead, he was filled with energy. His soul ocean was full, and it had expanded by a lot as compared to before.

He didn’t hesitate, calling over the threads of spiritual energy in his whirlpool. True spiritual charms actually were forming one by one like it was effortless. In just ten breaths one would form.

Just 15 minutes later an illusion word true talisman rose up like the sun from his soul ocean into the sky, placed right beside the stack word talisman.

It caused the soul ocean whirlpool to expand once more, the space within it was covered with wind and lightning.

The soul power of the soul was purified to the extreme by using the sky mirror soul shining technique. A portion of it had already turned from yin to yang.

At this moment he couldn’t stop it—a large half of the soul was turning from yin to yang.

Zong Shou still didn’t stop, that fire true talisman was also changing. In just a moment it pulled down the fire word heaven talisman spirit seed above and merged with it. In just a moment there was some difference, many runes formed and filled it up. There were also many spiritual marks that formed and spread about in the soul ocean space. The quality of the fire element spiritual vein was also crazily rising.

That lightning word true talisman was also changing. Although it didn’t have a change in form like the fire talisman, it was still expanding. The true spiritual talisman which formed was doubled in size.

Who knew how many hours passed did the changes in the soul ocean start to calm down. When Zong Shou slowly awakened, he saw that it was already noon outside.

He didn’t feel depressed that he missed the spiritual cultivation lessons for today but instead felt delighted.

At this moment he had a total of 9 true spiritual talismans formed in his soul ocean, a fire word god talisman was hanging high above.

…Today he was already a 9 talisman Return to Sun realm! The peak of the 6th grade!
