Divine Brilliance

Chapter 1003: One Can Imagine

“If it were just the twelve End Realms, our Common People’s Vast Habitat would be able to block it. When Master Xi Zi was surrounded and killed by the various factions, we were slightly weaker back then than now.”

Jishu said solemnly, “Qingxuan’s plan probably isn’t just that!”

The Taoist Faction in the past had the Sword Sect but at this moment, they were also joining hands with the Demon Sect.

However, the Common People Path’s today didn’t have just Xiuguan carrying them.

When Wei Xu heard that, he nodded. “That is indeed the case. There were many End Realm Saint Venerables of the alien races which invaded the Cloud World, they had their souls scattered by Master Xi Zi, up to date they are still unable to revive. Their descendants all hate us to the core. Ten thousand years ago, they were still badly injured and impacted to the point of being unable to join in. Ten thousand years later, it is tough to say whether or not the Qingxuan Taoist Lord has anything to do with them or not. Apart from that, there is still that person...”

Everyone’s expression sunk slightly.

The other End Realms could be taken lightly. Only that person, who was on the same level as Xiuguan couldn’t be.

Even if they added in all the restrictions within the Common People’s Vast Habitat, they might not be able to block him and he would be able to break through without any problems.

“Do we have to wait for sixteen years?”

Lin Fanmeng opened her mouth and asked. Due to her raging emotions, she didn’t bother about the disciple behind her.

When she came back to her senses, she realized that Chuxue shifted her position sneakily behind Zong Shou.

She couldn’t help but grit her teeth and viciously stare at Zong Shou, this caused him to respond with an innocent expression.

“One must always overestimate the enemy’s strength to be safe! I have already been schemed against once by Qingxuan, and I don’t want to lose a second time.”

Wei Xu shook his head. “That year, I predicted that the Cloud World needed at least fifty years to enter a stage where spiritual energy was abundant. However, in such a few years, it had already reached that stage. Will there be changes with that person? If he met some fortuitous encounters, his injuries healing up early might not be surprising at all.”

Along with these words being said, the atmosphere in the hall became even colder.

Only Zong Shou didn’t feel anything. Until now, he still didn’t know who Wei Xu was referring to.

He wanted to ask about it, but Gushun, who was seated beside him, shook his head. “You can’t ask and I can’t say. This person is omnipotent and once his name is mentioned, he would be able to find out even thousands of worlds away. He would even be able to know about what we spoke about just now.”

Zong Shou was startled. What kind of presence was that? He had such shocking ability!

Everyone looked out towards Xiuguan, only to see him say calmly, “My injuries had already healed up seven hundred years ago and I simply kept it a secret. I have also cultivated a secret technique. If he comes, it won’t be tough to defeat him.”

The atmosphere in the hall instantly became much more relaxed. However, they also knew that although Xiuguan said this, but during the battle, he probably wouldn’t be able to fully focus on battling that person.

“Ten thousand years ago, Senior Brother Xiuguan carried the situation. It would still be the same ten thousand years later.”

Yuanjing gave a sad laugh. “Although I’m in the End Realm, I won’t be able to help much!”

After Xi Zi fell, Xiuguan became the strongest in the world. He wasn’t like Zong Shou, but he was a true invincible in the Cloud World.

Even if one looked out at this region, only a handful of people could compare to him.

However, with each battle he fought against a larger number of enemies, he would be exhausted in his attempts.

At this moment, if he had one to two more same grade helpers to aid him by the side, the situation would be largely different.

Xiuguan would definitely be able to display all of his skills.

“Dragon Shadow has already promised to be here for the battle. Aokun has also arrived in the Cloud World together with Junior Brother Zong Shou. The former has top sword skills while the latter is able to make all End Realms fear even while still being at the Saint Realm...”

Zong Shou suddenly interrupted, “A few days ago, my brother’s Dao Foundations completed. He promised to try and help Xuanjing repair a portion of her foundations. However, the consumption of energy would be huge.”

The moment he said this, everyone in the hall was shocked. This then quickly changed to surprise.

Yuanjing suddenly clenched her fists, a bright glow shone in her eyes like she was trying to suppress her emotions really badly, this was why she didn’t act up.

It wasn’t only her, Xiuguan and Fanmeng all had smiles on their faces.

Wei Xu didn’t wait for Zong Shou to finish, “As for the consumption of energy, our Common People’s Path wouldn’t wrong Brother Ao. Within our treasury, we still have fifty Heaven Essence Life Creation Pills that we can take out. The thirteen Great Energy Replenishment Pills that Master refined in the past can also be used by him!”

The former helped to extend lifespan and replenish lifeforce while the latter was used to make up the loss of energy. One could just imagine how strong the effects of a pill refined by someone half a step to the True Realm was.

Zong Shou smiled and thought to himself that at least this Wei Xu knows how to be a decent person. However, he also didn’t dare to promise how much of her foundations was he able to repair in such a short time.

How were End Realm foundations that easy to repair? It would definitely use up hundreds of years worth of time.

Wei Xu also knew the seriousness of it, but still, he was really excited. “I will try my best to delay my tribulation to ten days...”

He looked at the opposite side of him in doubt, Lanruo Venerable understood and nodded without hesitation. “Of course, I will use the Spirit Sleep Inducing Technique to help him!”

To repair the Dao Foundations, one must have enough understanding in that Dao. Just comprehending it alone would take up a lot of time.

This technique was the fastest and simplest way! Only Lanruo had a similar Dao with Yuanjing.

It was such that Aokun would be able to understand what Yuanjing lacked and how he could act on it.

This technique would use up hundreds of years of lifespan, and after using it, one would also become extremely weak and need a thousand years to heal up. However, this was also the fastest method.

An End Realm with full combat strength compared to a peak Saint Realm, there was no comparison at all.

However, Zong Shou pouted. Within the Common People’s Path, there was another person who knew a lot about Yuanjing.

She would be able to use the technique without any worry of consumption.

With the Source Life Spiritual Breathing Technique, even if one consumed energy, one would be able to recover in a short amount of time. One could also use up life force to a certain extent.

Although that woman would suffer damages to her body, but if she acts, it was better than Senior Master Lanruo destroying his own Dao path.

To charge for the End Realm, the next two thousand years was the most crucial point. One couldn’t waste it in healing injuries.

Wei Xu felt really ashamed, a moment later, he spoke once more, “After talking about the matters with the End Realm, we should discuss about the Dao Soldiers. In this battle, the Dao Soldiers of the various factions probably wouldn’t be expanded. There are too little Xuan and Huang Dao Soldiers. We also only have twenty thousand cavalry and a Heaven Grade sword formation. It can be smashed in one hit and wouldn’t be of any use in this battle, we can just not discuss about them. We have three hundred Source Ocean Spirit Changing Warriors and a thousand four hundred Common People’s Extreme Path Warriors. The Taoist Faction and Demon Sect should have around four times more than us. The Confucians don’t have any, but they might be able to persuade the Great Shang Emperor...”

Zong Shou couldn’t take it anymore and interrupted Wei Xu, “In the outer region, I heard that the Taoist Faction had purchased a thousand Spirit Realm slaves. This is only limited to what I know. As for whether or not they bought Celestial Realm ones or in other regions, that, I’m not sure about.”

The room was instantly silent as the faces of the people turned ashen-white, like they had been smacked by a stick.

If the first news that Zong Shou brought them gave them unlimited surprise.

Then this time, it caused the emotions of everyone here to fall to the bottom of the canyon.

Wei Xu was speechless and after a long while, he laughed bitterly, “So, the Taoist Faction’s Qingxuan had already planned this long ago. He decided on this a few years ago.”

Since they predicted this long ago, no wonder that Dong Zhongsu and Zhu Zi and also those two Demon Lords would return so coincidentally.

After being slightly distracted, Lin Yuanjing looked down below. The few Saint Realm Venerables were still okay, but the dozens of God Realm cultivators gave out a sad and tough expression.

She also stared right at Zong Shou. She really didn’t know what to say about this nephew.

He could’ve told this news to them privately, why did he have to mess up their hearts at this moment?

The person that Wei Xu talked about had already caused everyone to be under huge pressure.

At this moment, with them knowing about how the Taoist Faction purchased a thousand Spirit Realm slaves, it was like the last straw on the camel’s back.

Only Xiuguan smiled. “Your news came just in time, it’s better than us getting caught off-guard when the battle begins. However, did you confirm it?”

“I got it from a Shura Race member. This person has a high status and can be trusted. The news is definitely real!”

Xiuguan’s eyes squinted, he didn’t ask Zong Shou who that person was. He simply nodded. “A few days ago when I entered the Ancestral Hall, I realized that a page was missing from the Mysterious Golden Life Book.”

Zong Shou’s heart jumped. As expected... this matter couldn’t be hidden from the others, especially the one in front of him.

The expressions of the people in the hall all jolted. Numerous spiritual senses swept out towards the hall, and then. all their faces turned ashen-white.

The defenses there were really strict and it was impossible for outsiders to enter. Even End Realm cultivators wouldn’t be able to do it.

Not to mention silently taking away a page.

However, it wasn’t totally impossible.

But if it really was an outsider, why didn’t he just take the whole book?

This item could extend one’s lifespan by a fold, an End Treasure that everyone craved.

The Demon Sect and various Taoist Sects joined hands probably just for this item.

The person who took the page was definitely a mole, one of those who could enter the Ancestral Hall without detection.

Who took Lin Xuanshuang’s page and for what reason?

Yuanjing, Wei Xu, and the few Saint Realms knew it long ago, and the former said solemnly, “It’s Xuanshuang’s! The page that had her soul on it had been taken months ago.”

Xiuguan’s gaze was locked on Zong Shou from start to finish.

Zong Shou was helpless as he knew he couldn’t hide his Master’s secret. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to, but he just couldn’t.

He thought about it and then he said directly, “I was the one who took her golden page.”

After seeing everyone’s expressions turn dark and sunken, Zong Shou continued to explain, “A while ago, I wanted to invite a Peak Saint Realm to help, but I was unable to find one. Thus, I wanted to see if I could gather her soul by myself, in the end...”

Before he finished, Xiuguan started laughing out loud.

To try to revive Xuanshuang and actually not die in the End Realm Tribulation. One would be able to see what the outcome was!
