Divine Brilliance

Chapter 993: Shocking Secret

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Tianfang World trade was really busy and pretty much each and every moment there were dozens of spaceships, and hundreds of cultivators who could travel in the void themselves who moved about in the World River.

However, when the fleet made up of nine Taiyi God Lightning Ships and the Gantian giant ship waltzed into this area, the people nearby all sensed that something was not right. The ships all fled and no cultivators dared to enter or exit this place alone.

In the void outside of Tianfang World, there were close to 60 ships waiting solemnly.

Not only were there many large-sized tough warships, but there were 16 Earth Grade warships similar to the Taiyi God Lightning Ships.

“That is the Nine Bright Broken Star Ship? The one which is as famous as the Taiyi God Lightning Ship?”

Zong Shou sighed as he sat at the helm of the ship on that throne that was specially designed for him.

As expected, Tianfang Guild was really rich, so rich that oil was oozing out from them!

Nine Bright Broken Star Ship’s combat strength was on the same level as the Taiyi God Lightning Ships. Its price exceeded the Cold Crystal Shadow Blade Ships by 20% and if it was sold to outsiders, it would be even more expensive.

Nine Capital Celestial Dynasty who owed hundreds of worlds had only 70 of the latter. Tianfang Guild only had 10 worlds but had a 25% of the spaceship power of Nine Capital Celestial Dynasty. It really made one tempted...

However, it was said that they only started to prosper in the past 4,000 years.

In the past, the worlds around here were mostly living in barbarian times. This was why although Tianfang World was important and connected to dozens of World Rivers, people didn’t pay attention to it and its income wasn’t high either.

During these hundreds of years, there were people who eyed it. Because they were worried and restricting one another, and also being worried about the Night Demons and Shadow Demons, Tianfang Guild was able to be independent till now by being on the good sides of the powers all around.

They weren’t weak and they also had their own backers.

If they didn’t have enough strength, how would they be able to survive until now in such a dog eat dog world?

Zong Shou was too lazy to bother. No matter how strong Tianfang World was and who was standing behind them, he was going to shatter them with a fist!

Since everyone was looking at this thick piece of meat and not eating it, then he would just swallow it!

“Aren’t you going to wipe your mouth? Your drool is about to flow out!”

Zhao Yanran’s voice spread out from the side which jolted Zong Shou to his senses. He subconsciously wiped the corner of his lips and realized that he had fallen for her tricks.

He turned around and stared at her. Naturally, the latter didn’t worry about it.

“Zong Shou, you just went into secluded meditation for a month, why do I feel like you seem totally different?”

Yuan Wushang who was to the side couldn’t help but ask suspiciously.

The so-called ‘totally different’ statement wasn’t referring to his personality and actions but the aura that he was giving out.

He was still a little lazy and casual, but in Yuan Wushang’s eyes, he was able to sense the changes within.

It was like Zong Shou was unable to control it. That intent that occasionally flowed out actually gave off a feeling of vastness and majesty.

“During my month of cultivation, I benefitted a little!”

Zong Shou laughed humbly. Unfortunately, Yuan Wushang’s cultivation wasn’t enough and without the protection of the Book of Eon, he wouldn’t be able to travel through time.

If not, solely because of him taking the risk of dying, he was willing to consume some more lifespan to bring him back along with him to view the World Viewing Instrument.

Speaking about his gains in this month, he didn’t actually obtain many benefits. Most of the effects of which would be shown in the future.

Yuan Wushang looked at Zong Shou in disbelief. He felt like his cultivation had improved but his brimming lifeforce also seemed much weaker.

He didn’t understand and just shook his head, not willing to ask further.

“If you have any need for me in this battle, then just ask!”

The Jade Puppet version of him looked really tragic and broken now, but it still had actual Saint Realm strength.

He would be able to fight seven to eight Peak Celestial Realm Experts on his own. He might even be able to go up against God Realm Cultivators.

Zong Shou nodded his head solemnly. If he really had no choice, he definitely wouldn’t show courtesy toward Yuan Wushang.

Then, he spread out his True Qi, sweeping up a person toward him.

It was Tanjing, his hair covered his face and his face looked withered, covered in wounds. Time after time, he schemed against Zong Shou, making him totally annoyed with him.

That day when Lieque surrendered, Zhuang Yu also killed Hong Jiuchen and the others.

Other people could have a quick death, but only Tanjing was left alive.

Zong Shou specially handled him to people who were experts at interrogation to let him go through all sorts of torture.

Only when he was prepared to come over to Tianfang World did Zong Shou let him out.

This person was already at his dying breath and was on the verge of death.

However, looking at the current situation, after a month of recuperation this Tianfang Guild Elder had recovered a portion of his energy.

“Brother Tan, in front of us is Tianfang World, your old home. However, it seems like people from your Tianfang Guild don’t like me coming here. I can allow them and their family to leave safely. I give them half a day. Half a day later, I will attack...”

As Tanjing listened on, his face turned ashen white.

He knew that if he listened to Zong Shou and went over to spread the message, then he probably had no chance of living.

The situation he faced would even be much worse than the torture he received over on this side.

Tianfang Guilds 30,000 Dao Soldiers, who they spent so many resources raising up, were all buried in Yuanlian World.

...This was not only built up by Mind Stones and medicine. Many of the juniors and family members of the Tianfang Guild were within them.

There were also the close to 100 Spirit Realm Cultivators and dozens of Celestial Realms who he brought over, most of whom had died.

The few God Realm Cultivators either died or surrendered.

Since Tianfang Guild was established, it had never suffered such heavy losses before! It was so serious that even their foundations were shaken!

Moreover, the crisis of them being attacked by Zong Shou was also because of him, because he had offended Zong Shou time and time again.

One could imagine how most of them wished to eat his meat and drink his blood!

He also knew that Zong Shou hated him to the bone, so there was no use even trying to beg him.

After thinking about it for a moment, Tanjing came to a decision. He bowed, “Tanjing was fortunate to be able to learn of a huge secret, maybe it might help Ruler. I only hope that Ruler will be able to let me live! Or give me a quick death!”

Zong Shou had set up many restrictions in his body. Without this person’s permission, even if he wanted to die, he couldn’t.

A huge sense of regret rose up in his heart. If he knew that this would happen, he shouldn’t have spent time together with Hong Jiuchen, that piece of dirt.

If he had high hopes for Zong Shou working together with him, the current situation would be much different.

However, what was the use of regretting now?

Who would expect that the Nine Capital Celestial Emperor would end up in such a state after going all out and attacking?

“Huge secret?”

Zong Shou looked over with intrigue, thinking to himself, was Tanjing starting to sprout nonsense on the verge of death to try to stay alive?

However, looking at the situation, he didn’t look like he was lying and he seemed really confident.

“You can tell me about it, if I am satisfied it might be possible. If you are unwilling, then forget it. I won’t allow you to bargain here with me...”

Tanjing took in a deep breath and said without hesitation, “I heard that in a short time Yuanlian World has a chance of becoming a large-sized world! Nine Capital Celestial Dynasty went all out because they found out about it.”

The moment he said this, the expressions of everyone present changed. Even Yuan Wushang who was usually uninterested in such things looked over with a weird expression.

Become a large-sized world? That was really some news!

Even the weakest large-sized world could be compared to 10 medium-sized worlds.

Stronger ones could even have a 20-30 times difference.

The Lu Family had 800 worlds, but only nine of them were large worlds.

The biggest one was where the Sky Burning Saint Dynasty was. The other eight were where the main countries of the Country Rulers were.

The meaning of which was far from just abundance of resources!

The living beings from such worlds would often have abilities far stronger than other worlds.

This was why God Beasts loved to give birth to their descendants in worlds with strong spiritual energy.

Cloud World was one of the top ones. Just End Realm alone, along with those whose tracks were lost or formed their bodies after falling, there were a total of 14.

Not long later there would be two more!

One Cloud World was able to raise dozens of God Venerables who had End Realm strength.

Even hundreds of medium-sized worlds might not be able to do that.

After knowing all this, one could imagine how shocked and surprised everyone present was!

Zong Shou was also stunned. He didn’t recall that there was such a thing.

Yuanlian World was the top existence among medium-sized worlds.

However, this world only became a large-sized world 1,000 years later.

In a short 300 years, it expanded by 60,000 miles in all directions. It was really beautiful and amazing, attracting many cultivators over to witness. It was a huge matter that shocked the entire cultivation world.

This was why he remembered it clearly.

He was still doubtful that Tanjing was lying.

He looked out. That person was afraid that he didn’t believe him as he said frantically, “Tanjing definitely doesn’t dare to lie, this matter is true. If I am wrong, once Ruler checks, you will have many ways to punish me. So why would I ask for trouble?”

Zong Shou’s squinted as he glanced at Lieque. Lieque had worked for the Nine Capital Celestial Dynasty and he might know about it.

Lieque sighed for a moment and bowed, “I also heard of such rumors. Liu Muchen seemed to have wanted to shift over to Yuanlian World. Although the areas around it were rich, this thing was also really sudden. With the two things added together, what Tanjing said might be true.”

The moment he said this, Zifang and Feng Taiji who followed Zong Shou looked at Tanjing with burning eyes.

A large-sized world... Even if it was weaker than the Cloud World, it still had huge value to them!

It meant a place where they could make their foundations. It meant that the disciples from this world would have talents and strength comparable to those from the Cloud World!

There were all sorts of benefits that were tough to list out!
