Divine Brilliance

After sitting down cross-legged, Zong Shou stopped bothering about his monster body. He picked up the emperor flame spiritual art that he had given up and started to focus and research it.

Numerous thoughts flashed across his head continuously, numerous incantations and numerous picture swarmed into his head.

Actually, a few days ago, this was the same thing that happened. He was swarmed with inspiration, but he was still unable to find a breakthrough point. He wanted to be able to merge the fire element cultivation method into his world shocking spiritual art.

However, when he started to deduce it once more, he faced a similar situation. It was like there was a thin layer which he was unable to pierce through.

He closed his eyes and thought clearly for close to 10 minutes, but he still had no idea. Zong Shou could only stop helplessly, unlike Xiong Kui who was able to enter an enlightened state.

It seems like the good luck brought by the luck talisman wasn’t so easy to use.

Luckily, he didn’t hold much hope in his heart so naturally he wouldn’t be filled with regret. In truth, at the moment that he sat there for there to be nothing unlucky which happened to him, it was enough to make him feel happy.

When he opened his eyes, he saw Chuxue who was cleaning up the carriage which was in a mess. Taking cloth to try to clean up the spiritual ink liquid that fell onto the carpet.

Her upper body bending down, her hips perking high, wrapped tightly with her robe and showing her perfect waist shape. Maybe due to the swift growth in height of Chuxue, her clothes seemed to be a little tight for her. Even her center area was perfectly sticking out.

Zong Shou’s eyes instantly lit up as he gulped a mouthful of saliva. He viciously stared, carefully remembering the shape into his mind before acting like he was a righteous man as he looked away.

Thinking that this little girl was just so attractive, he suddenly felt a crazy bit of energy surge in his body. That water and fire spiral true energy started to be chaotic once more.

Luckily, this time Zong Shou was prepared early on, going all out to suppress it. He sat on the bed with Ruoshui protecting him, so no accidents occurred.

And just as the true qi within his body was about to be calmed down by him, a spiritual light shone in his brain and an extremely eye-catching glow appeared in his eyes.

Then, his eyes slowly lost its anxiousness within. His gaze was bright and unable to be wiped out. In his brain, he was crazily calculating and simulating. Taking out all the fire, water and lightning element techniques buried in his memory to cover up for the holes in the world shocking spiritual art and the emperor flame spiritual art. Spiritual energy surged around his body, especially fire and water spiritual energy which was the most active. Around him, he could also see purple lightning flashing.

However, in just a moment, a smile appeared on Zong Shou’s face. He had broken through, that momentary comprehension was enough to save him several months.

The earth chakra portion of the world shocking spiritual art, the 2nd and 3rd layers were being swiftly perfected. Not only was he filled with energy, but his thoughts were also extremely clear. In the past, the tens of thousands of books he memorized seemed to be equipped with a search engine, all the keywords and martial arts incantations were all pulled out without him using much effort.

If this continued, he just needed one day for him to complete half of this earth chakra portion of the cultivation method.

His heart was filled with extreme joy, but he forcefully suppressed it, using his most calm state to deduce out these 2 cultivation methods. Right as he entered the 4th layer, his right eyelid started to twitch. He was filled with a inauspicious feeling.

In the next moment, he felt the entire carriage under him stop with a crash. It was like it had knocked into something, the body of the carriage was flung into the air.

What made Zong Shou the most speechless was that the table and the papers which were just arranged properly all flew up because of the huge impact, without an exception they smashed towards where Zong Shou sat at.

At that moment Zong Shou wanted to cry, but no tears came out. 1 time wasn’t enough, why did it come once more? Was he facing retribution?

As expected, the true qi within his body exploded out once more, making him unable to move. In the next moment, Ruoshui acted in time, a thin long sword appeared in front of his face, weaving out many sword images, cutting everything in front of him into pieces.

However, Zong Shou still couldn’t calm himself down. He still had a bad feeling which was getting thicker and thicker.

This time went on longer and longer. It took half the time it took to brew tea before the carriage was silent. He originally thought they were attacked, only when everything calmed down did he know that the spiritual formation of the carriage had temporarily lost control. They spent close to half a day before repairing it.

Zong Shou was lying flat on the soft mattress, totally devoid of energy, his body was filled with many red swelling portions, his clothes were also torn up, making him look pitiful and sad. If one looked carefully one could see that there were tens of thin sword wounds at his chest. Although the wounds weren’t deep, if one or two of them weren’t paid attention to, it could cause him to suffer from heavy injuries.

This time, the one looking ashamed was Ruo Shui who knelt at the side, looking apologetically and innocently at Zong Shou. However, her eyes were filled with insuppressible joy. Chuxue on the other side couldn’t hold it in anymore as she burst out laughing.

Zong Shou was furious in his heart, if it wasn’t that he was exhausted, he would really capture these 2 women and viciously spank them on their butts.

However, when his body slightly regained some energy, right as he sat up, a ball of spiral true energy seeped out from his palm.

It was still a fire and water spiral but it was more balanced now. That purple lightning seemed to be a bridge which was closely connecting them.

Zong Shou couldn’t help but smile. This time not only did he deduce the 2nd and 3rd layers of the earth chakra level, but he also perfected the front portions even further.

A similar amount of true qi but its strength was close to 20% more! If nothing was surprising, he would need just a month before he could try to merge with 2 spiritual veins and reach 2 meridian realm. As for the 3rd meridian, it would be within 3-4 months.

Although he was placed in a bad spot this time, filling him with bruises, his returns were decent. It was worth it.

If every time he could have such comprehension, he wouldn’t mind going through it several more times.

The only thing that wasn’t perfect would be that along with the completion of the world shocking spiritual art and the emperor flame spiritual art, the fire element bloodline in his body had once again shown signs of awakening, making him feel extremely nervous.

Zong Shou smiled in satisfaction, crushing the ball of energy in his hands. Estimating that the time was around up and that luck talisman had lost its effect, he stood up and looked outwards through the window. Only to see that Xiong Kui’s body was filled with wounds, looking much worse than he was. Only then did he smile happily, feeling slightly satisfied. Although he was unlucky, there was someone worse than him.

However, when Xiong Kui’s horse lost its footing once more and fell towards the ground, Zong Shou was startled and had no mood to gloat anymore.

“…Something isn’t right! Forget about the spiral true energy, this world shocking spiritual art still has many weaknesses and lacking points and is extremely unstable. However, Xiong Kui is cultivating the emperor flame spiritual art which was left by the ancient monster emperor. It was created by a martial saint level expert, so how could it lose control so easily?”

Be it that table or Ruoshui’s soft sword which she reduced strength in time, on normal circumstances it wouldn’t be able to harm him. Just the energy around his body would be able to block it. Moreover the outer cultivation method he was cultivating meant that anything under spiritual weapon wouldn’t be able to break his skin.

However just now not only did the true qi within his body lose control, but even the vital energy at the surface also flowed away in the chaos, resulting in his skin layer being at its weakest state.

When one was unlucky, even a toothpick could be lethal.

The situation on Xiong Kui’s side was similar. However, often one luck talisman would cause him to be unlucky once or twice. His situation was far worse than his own.

Remembering the past when he was on Pill Spirit Mountain when he drew that luck talisman, he had once comprehended something.

“Disasters and blessing come together, blessings are caused by disasters. To what extent? One couldn’t say for sure. True and False is uncertain, and kindness and evil coexist. This riddle would last forever!”

“Mighty people know this, and experts abide by this; knowing this is an honor, following this might be an insult. Knowing this is white, following it is black. It is just like how the world works!”

“There’s nothing certain about blessings and disasters. It depends on what one is looking for; kindness and evil come in all shapes and forms!”

“This is why the root of misfortune was in one’s evil tendencies, one’s negative thoughts; the roots of good fortune come from doing good and behaving well.”

It seems like at that time he had just taken a glimpse, but this weird and indiscernible god talisman was not so simple.

Before this, he always felt that he was missing something. However, he could never figure it out.

“So that’s the case! It’s probability. The luck word that I wrote out can increase and expand everything!”

A joyous emotion surged within his chest like that of a flood, causing his heart to feel hot. His eyes were filled with the surprise one got after enlightenment.

On the surface, Chuxue kept on falling in Xiaoyuan Town, but she also successively picked up cash, fortune and misfortune were linked with one another.

It was actually because this luck word had increased the probability of everything. Naturally, there would be bad luck and good luck.

Although there was some relationship between the 2, it wasn’t as closely connected as he had thought before.

And this luck word talisman, apart from probability, it could cause one’s luck to change within a short period of time to a small extent.

Just as he was thinking about that, he suddenly felt an explosion within his soul ocean.

That luck word god talisman which was circling the whirlpool gave out large amounts of light.

The layer of bright light and mist which covered the rune slowly dissipated. Zong Shou could very simply use his spiritual sense to observe and take a look at the structure of the god talisman.

…The other 11 god talismans from Pill Spirit Mountain were all spiritual seeds. Only this luck god talisman was a perfect true spiritual god talisman level, the most indiscernible one.

After carefully comprehending it with full focus, Zong Shou’s soul was blessed as he entered a meditation stage. He was continuously forming true spiritual charms within his soul ocean. With this completed god talisman to follow, he was able to complete it one by one without much obstruction.
