Divine Brilliance

Chapter 1031: Little Gold’s Good Fortune

“However, you need to remember carefully that even with the Black Qilin as the Protector Beast you can’t do too many bad things. You must be really careful when you rule. If one day this evil beast suppresses the good side instead, disaster will occur...”

Xiuguan was really solemn, his words were filled with a warning intent. “At that time, even I will only be able to protect you. I would most probably be unable to protect these two God Beasts.”

Zong Shou shook his head, he was still hesitating whether or not to keep Xiaori into his Soul Ocean too.

His personality was like that, he would definitely not be able to do bad things.

However, he wasn’t able to control the hearts of the people. The King Path Energy was gathered by the people under him and it represented the views and thoughts of the people under his rule about him.

If the country was under great rule and the people were safe and living a good life, then naturally there would be more good thoughts. However, if people were struggling, there would definitely be more evil thoughts.

However, he was unable to sense that. Many wise Rulers were like that; they didn’t sense it and did many stupid things.

Although he had an Imperial Astronomer and Grand Priest roles, some stronger ones could view the King Energy, but they were restricted by the Heavens and couldn’t remind him about it.

There were many benefits of keeping this Black Qilin but it also gave rise to many future problems.

However, he knew that Xiuguan and Dragon Shadow wanted these two God Beast to help suffer calamity for him.

What he did today was pretty much recognized by Heaven and Earth and he was actually even said to be the Saint King.

Who could ensure that what he continued to do would definitely be correct?

In this world, there definitely wasn’t any perfect Saint...

This was why he wanted to hand over power to the people, to let them decide everything. This was both him trying to avoid responsibility and also him preventing himself from making mistakes.

The reason why he was unwilling to keep Xiaori into his White Hole Dharma was because he didn’t want this puppy to be his scapegoat.

With the Black Qilin there, the two of them were both enemies but also soulmates.

If one day he really did something to infuriate the public, then this fellow couldn’t leave him even if it wanted to; it would have to suffer along with him.

“Qilin grew from eating your energy and it can’t leave you. Since you are unwilling, then you can still wait for a period of time. It still wouldn’t be able to leave you. This method is only a little risky now, but when you enter End Realm, there will be nothing to worry about...”

Wei Xu also smiled and advised, however, he didn’t want to continue to dwell on this topic. He turned and asked, “Junior Brother, did you bring that Wanxiang with you? Can you take it out for us to look at it?”

Zong Shou was filled with more doubts in his heart but he still summoned Little Gold. That thing was wrapped around his arm like an arm guard.

At this moment, it gathered on his arm like a golden jelly. It had its eyes opened wide as it looked at the few people present.

“A top God Beast ranked in the top five of the world, as expected it is really amazing!”

Wei Xu laughed and then the tip of his finger suddenly ripped open. Three drops of golden blood dripped out and onto the body of Little Gold.

“Thanks to Junior Brother, I’m able to survive the tribulation today. I have nothing on me to thank you with, I can only use these three drops of Essence Blood to help your spiritual pet advance.”

“Senior Brother...”

Zong Shou shocked. Wei Xu said it really casually but those three drops of blood were brimming with lifeforce and filled with profound secrets.

It was obviously his Life Essence Blood and it included much of his comprehension of the Mirror Dao.

To say that it was Essence Blood, but it was like a scripture as well as three Celestial Grade Pills merged into one.

Even someone like Wei Xu who was an End Realm Saint Venerable would take 300-500 years to recover from such consumption.

Little Gold was really alert and before Zong Shou was able to reject, it swiftly absorbed those three drops.

It had already broken through into Celestial Realm and now it was just like Xiaori, its cultivation was increasing at a crazy rate. Its body became softer and softer and slowly it was in deep sleep.

Zong Shou opened his mouth and retracted the words of rejection that he was just about to say.

He originally wanted some of the Sect Artifacts from the Ancestral Hall but now that Wei Xu did that he wouldn’t be able to ask for any of them at all.

He scolded out in his heart but anticipation rose up in him. Wanxiang had the mimicry ability, and although it wasn’t the same Dao as Wei Xu’s Mirror Projection, it was similar.

It swallowed the Essence Crystal of that Formless God Demon and now with Wei Xu’s Law, who knew what stage would it manage to grow to in the future?

In his heart, he felt slight regret. Many of the treasures in the Ancestral Hall were crafted by Xi Zi and had no owner now. If he could take them out, they might have a chance of advancing to God Treasure.

Senior Brother Wei Xu probably saw through what he was planning and sealed his mouth in advance.

He really was an old fox...

He cursed out deep down, he gave a really fake expression and said, “Senior Brother, you didn’t need to do that? You really make me guilty and I will find it hard to sleep. Senior Brother has just finished your tribulation and you should solidify your foundations...”

Wei Xu smiled and waved his hands to interrupt Zong Shou. He said seriously, “Junior Brother, do you know that this battle is not over?”

Zong Shou’s brow jumped and a cold and sharp tint appeared in his eyes.

Indeed, it wasn’t over yet. The three factions were forced back in defeat, so how would they be willing to take this lying down?

They definitely wouldn’t be willing to see Common People’s Path rise up like that.

Although three End Realm Cultivators fell today, their overall strength was still several times stronger than them.

They couldn’t do anything in the Vast Habitat but they could act elsewhere.

...Common People’s Path veins, various powers under them, Three Sects and Six Schools, even his Great Gan.

The front few were still okay and they could give up on them, at most they attacked one another and both sides suffered losses.

The only thing he couldn’t give up was Great Gan. He had to fight to the death and Common People’s Path had to save it.

Taoist Faction and Confucian Faction had suffered losses due to him and it wasn’t something unimaginable that they would take revenge using Great Gan.

“Qingxuan suffered light injuries and when Taihuang became free, he suffered a huge loss of energy. They are both afraid of the Lu Family, so they won’t directly attack you. Zhu Zi needs to protect Dong Zhongsu’s soul such that he could revive successfully in a few thousand years. The few of them won’t directly attack. Taishi lost an arm and also needed to recover. Only Wushang Yuan Demon has the ability. However, he alone won’t be able to do much.”

Yuanjing stepped over and laughed coldly, “Both sides suffered heavy losses. Even those five God Venerables used up much God Power. I think that there won’t be a large battle among End Realm Cultivators. The three factions will need to get back some face from the battles in the world. Although you wiped out 300,000 Dao Soldiers with a sword, Great Shang still has ten million troops. The Taoist Faction had more than 50,000 Purple Qilin Flame Spear Cavalry that escaped safely. Once they combine strength and head west together, they will be able to smash everything!”

Soldier battle?

Zong Shou’s had a thought and looked towards Xiaori who was still spinning circles around him.

This little puppy seemed to feel that something wasn’t right, that everyone around were smiling as they looked at it.
