Divine Brilliance

Although Yuanjing said that they had to rush to Tianfang World, when the Imperial City battle ended, Zong Shou noticed that there were still numerous things he had to handle.

He didn’t bother too much about wiping out the Great Shang Yuan Family. He sent a decree to the world and no sect or aristocratic family dared to protect them. Naturally, there were many people who would aid him. Next, he had to plan how he was going to deal with the Demon Path.

If not for the Dark World Demon Court Army forcing down on him, he would have personally led the army to wipe out all the Demon Path Sects!

Apart from that, he also needed to destroy the Yin Vein Spirit Slaughtering Formation that had obtained the vital energy of eighteen million Imperial City civilians.

However, Jin Buhui was still very important.

The Jiuxuan Back to Hiding God Asking Lightning not only failed, but it also helped to repair Jin Buhui’s soul. But it still wasn’t complete.

“The good news is that I still have one Life and Death Cereus and I can help recover your physical body. The bad news is that although your soul is complete, it is tough to cultivate and you can only reach God Realm. You have 6,000-7,000 years of lifespan. However, there is still hope to be able to totally recover it…”

Zong Shou retracted the hand that he used to touch Jin Buhui’s soul, his face expressionless.

“If you were reincarnated, you could use the Heaven and Earth Reincarnation Power to repair your soul injuries. With my strength, I might be able to preserve your memories.”

He too didn’t know which choice would be better for Jin Buhui.

If he chose to reincarnate, one wouldn’t know where he would appear. It might not have been at Tianfang World and it would have been the same as starting from scratch. It would have been really risky.

Not having cultivation talent was a better outcome. However, what if he was unable to recover his soul injuries and was impacted once more. That was really possible and there was a high chance that it would happen.

Even if he could keep his memories, it might not have included much of the stuff he remembered today…

With what he saw, it was best for him to stay. Cultivation would be a little tough but there was still hope.

After the Jiuxuan Back to Hiding God Asking Lightning, there were indeed very few things that could repair his soul.

However, they still existed. He didn’t believe he couldn’t find it as a Country Ruler.

As for what decision was made, it would depend on Jin Buhui himself.

When Jin Buhui heard this, he was totally silent. A while later, he burst out laughing.

“I think it is better to reincarnate!”

Seeing Zong Shou look over in doubt, he explained, “Repairing the soul is too problematic so why not just directly reincarnate. It will just waste a dozen years. I also became a loyal scholar so I have to keep to that name. If I rise from the dead how could those Confucian Faction people sing my praises?”

“You don’t feel regret?”

“My name is Buhui, so what is there to regret?”

Zong Shou understood but he felt slightly sad.

“Unfortunately, Leidong isn’t here now…”

If Leidong was here he would have definitely gotten drunk with this good friend to vent the frustration in his heart.

The reincarnation method wasn’t complicated. There were also three End Realm experts beside him and Mingri Xuan, the divination expert.

With the four of them, Zong Shou easily sent Jin Buhui’s soul back into the reincarnation death ocean.

Once they split this time, who knew when they would ever meet again? At that time, would Jin Buhui even be able to recognize them? The sadness Zong Shou felt was hard to explain.

Luckily, he knew that he didn’t have enough time. He felt sad for just a moment before he retracted his emotions.

He used the Royal Demon God Shuttle, carrying the 12 Copper Men and heading towards Jinling City.

Great Shang collapsed and was about to be wiped out. If the external powers didn’t unify it, then the aristocratic families would rise up and split it apart.

The war matters between the two of them totally ended. Those powers in the mid plains wouldn’t be so dumb to try to offend Great Gan now.

This was why Zong Shou was prepared to send another 300,000 elites from the Central Cloud Continent as well as the 12 Copper Men to Tianfang World.

After the Royal Demon God Shuttle was completed, the space inside was huge. Even if he carried the 12 Copper Men, he could still transport 600,000 troops and resources to support them for a year.

There was also Kong Yao, Zong Yuan, and Ren Tianxing, the three pillars of Great Gan. He also needed their help to deal with Tianfang World war matters.

Ren Tianxing was really calm and his commanding skills were not like Kong Yao’s. However, it also wasn’t something normal people could compare to, so he could protect the Cloud World.

When everything was dealt with, it was a full half day till Zong Shou left the Cloud World.

With Yuanjing driving the shuttle, they traveled several times faster than when Zong Shou used it.

Only now did Zong Shou have the time to look at the situation of his body.

His True Qi and soul power had turned to Celestial Power, flowing about in his body.

It was like white jade liquid, giving off a seven-colored glass light. His entire body was like jade. In fact, it was even better than that. All his bones looked like they were made out of jade but they also gave off a purple-gold color.

His skin looked white and tender like one could pinch it. Zong Shou knew that if he reached out, he could smash low-grade Celestial Treasures with just his physical strength.

His body was incredibly strong when he was in the Qin Emperor Tomb fragment.

Otherwise, he definitely couldn’t have been perfectly fine even after taking hits from an End Realm expert.

Zhu Zi’s Jiuxuan Back to Hiding God Asking Lightning caused his body to cross another barrier to reach an extreme.

At this moment, his body was close to End Realm and was just a line away.

His Celestial Power amount had also increased, making up for 500-600 years of cultivation.

The most important thing was the Heaven Path Power which helped increase his Dao Foundations.

At that moment, he comprehended numerous Heaven and Earth theories. No matter whether or not they were physical, they helped to complete his Dao God Technique.

His cultivation didn’t improve by much, but it helped to stabilize his Dao Foundations that were slightly shaky due to him being forced to enter God Realm.

This was his biggest gain from the Imperial City.

“Speaking of which, I can go all out to cultivate. Did I gain benefits from a disaster?”

Zong Shou laughed and he felt cold in his heart. There really were endless amounts of strange attacks in this world.

If not for the Black Qilin which consumed the evil energy around him,  he might have had died instantly when the lightning struck him.

Not only would the Country Protecting Jade Seal have fallen into Yinyu’s hands, but he would have even buried Wei Xu and Yuanjing in the Imperial City.

  Even if he had a well-thought-out plan before, Zhu Zi nearly killed him.

“As expected, there are always stronger people. The heroes of the world can’t be underestimated!”

Zong Shou’s strength improved a lot and he also had the wings, but somehow it made him feel even smaller.

Who knew what other technique or treasure would appear and easily kill him?

There were many techniques in the world and Zong Shou, who had only cultivated for a few decades, wouldn’t have been able to find out about all of them.

However, in the books that he had read, the Cloud World had dozens who could threaten him, similar to the lightning that Zhu Zi used.

Luckily, most of them were lost and the portion that remained had strict cultivation requirements.

However, this was only in the Cloud World. What about the outer region?

The dozens of Supreme Techniques in the world were mostly in the outer region!

They weren’t things like his three who relied on the wings to evolve could compare to.

Based on what he knew, the Lu Family’s first crown prince, Lu Huanxiao, was cultivating a Supreme Ability. Who knew whether he would succeed? However, even if he didn’t complete it, he would still be really strong.

Talents like Lu Huanxiao weren’t the only ones in the world.

Sky Burning Lu Family was the head of the three aristocratic families, but it was only ranked six.

With one family alone it exceeded numerous races and many Saint Dynasties. However, there were many powers on their level.

One could also see how many strong people there were in this region…

Common People’s Path was restricted in the Cloud World. Buddhist Faction, who had four End Realm men, was only rank 14. The Night Demon Race was 24th. Thus, one could see how strong the top 10 were.

It wasn’t the number of End Realms, otherwise, Common People’s Path and Buddhist Faction could have been top three. Even the Lu Family had only three End Realms.

Lu Family had tens of thousands of years of accumulated strength and was simply too strong.

Eight Celestial Dynasties, Country Protector God Venerables, and those many God Treasures, billions of Dao Soldiers. If they were willing, they only needed half of their strength to kill Xi Zi.

Extreme Flame Saint Venerable and Yanyuan Saint Venerable didn’t even need to attack.

Who knew how much power they had hidden?

“Evolving to God Realm, having wings and the 12 Copper Men, Imperial Destruction True Scripture. Why do I feel that I am still in such danger?”

Zong Shou shook his head, but he couldn’t get rid of the sense of danger.

“I can’t increase my cultivation now, so it is best if I complete the Three Thousand Star Falling and the Extreme Dao Destruction Sword Formation…”

Although his Dao Foundations were complete, it was tough for him to improve in a short period of time.

Originally, he could have used his sword technique attainments to charge for Saint Realm.

However, the requirements of the Dao word were just too great.

He couldn’t think about cultivation, so he could only try to strengthen his own abilities.

Styx River Death Sword, Six God Celestial Slaying Knife, Unlimited Beginning and End, these three abilities were at the extreme and couldn’t be improved.

However, he could improve his Three Thousand Star Falling and Extreme Dao Destruction Sword Formatio, especially the former. He already had Xingya’s Demon Pellet and Li Biexue’s one.

He just needed to purify them and he would have two of the three enclosure stars. With an End Realm Saint Venerable Pellet as the main star, once it was completed, the technique would be something even Zong Shou couldn’t imagine.
