Divine Brilliance

“Is it really the heart of the Golden Winged Crane?”

Most of the golden-winged cranes in the world had already gone extinct, you could only barely manage to find some in the outer regions. Naturally, he refused to believe that the one in his hand was this was because even if it was a subspecies, it was still really rare.

While Zong Shou was contemplating on the object in his hand, the Lightning Winged Dragon hiding in his right arm suddenly stretched out its dragon head and swallowed the heart into its belly.

Legend says that the Golden Winged Crane could swallow the essence of the Dragon Race and obtain power. This was especially for the dragon gallbladder which it really loved.

On the contrary, if the Dragon Race could eat the heart of the Golden Winged Crane, it would also receive benefits. Zong Shou could feel that the wings of his Natural Protector Beast had some changes.

Although he wasn’t able to see it with his eyes, he knew that the wings were definitely brighter and could absorb more of the Sun True Flame.

When the heart disappeared from his hand, the scene in front of him changed once more.

This time, there were over ten people dressed in black, each of them was holding a red chain.

“Juelong City?”

Originally, Zong Shou thought that they were real people from Juelong City who were here for revenge.

However, only just a few moments later did he understand something and quickly knew that it was still just an illusion in front of his eyes.

The Canglang Ocean Juelong City might not have existed 14 thousand years ago. But these people who hunted the Dragon Race definitely did.

Zong Shou was startled, following after, his lips curled.

What should he say? The Dragon Race truly really focused on education.

The core spiritual formation of the Legacy Land must have treated himself as a lightning dragon. This was since the first battle that he had was against a grade-8 Giant Lightning Dragon, this was done so that it could help him understand his strength.

The second and third ones were the enemies of the Dragon Race.

Over 10 black chains stabbed over from every direction. There was a giant hook at the tip while both sides opening up like a blade.

Twelve grade-8 experts. If it was a normal grade-7 True Dragon, then it would’ve been easily shredded into pieces by the hook chains.

However, to Zong Shou, it wasn’t that much tougher than the previous two illusions. His body quickly retreated backward while swiftly avoiding the hooks. Along with a wave of his sleeves, 365 golden needles spread out in all directions.

Following shortly, Zong Shou activated the True Flame. The Sky Burning Flame on his hand burnt up, bits of lightning were injected within. Just as it was about to explode, Zong Shou tossed towards away.

A loud explosion ensued. The entire hundred thousand feet of space were covered in black flames.

The deep purple current jumped and shone amongst the 365 golden needles.

The entire region immediately spread out a tragic cry. Even if he knew that this wasn’t real… Listening to it still terrified him.

Following quickly when the black flame faded, the last thread of lightning disappeared shortly after. The twelve grade-8 cultivators had now turned into dust and were dissipating in the air.

However, amongst the ashes of these people, many pills appeared in their place. There were a total of 12 that were blue in color.

What was weird was that it looked like a pearl and at the same time, it wasn’t. It seemed like jade, but at the same time, it wasn’t.

Zong Shou’s brows rose up as he collected all of the pills into his hands, shortly after doing so, he entered a deeply focused state.

He searched for the relevant information regarding this item in his memory.

“… Is this… A Dragon Bone Relic?”

Legend says that when the bones of high-grade dragons were burned, they turn into relics. It was the essence of the Dragon Race.

It was said that in these ten thousand years, the reason that Juelong City hunted the Dragon Race was to crazily collect these items.

While he looked at the relic, he gathered that the grade used from the Dragon Race corpses should be around the Spiritual Realm and above.

Ye Feishuang was right, even if one loses in this Legacy Land, it was okay, there were many benefits they could gain.

However, if one won, the items they would receive would make them even more delightful.

Just as he was thinking this, the Lightning Winged Dragon popped up once more and looked at Zong Shou with craving eyes.

Zong Shou broke into a smile as he casually threw all of the pills into the Lightning Winged Dragon’s mouth.

Although he had a few uses for this item, the cumulative benefits would still be far less compared to giving it to his Natural Protector Beast. Basically, it was pretty much that each relic could cause its physical body to become stronger.

He continued forward. Just as he took three steps, another change occurred right before his eyes.

“Is this the last time?”

Zong Shou muttered as he looked forward. There were said to be nine tests of the Legacy Land, but only four of these were in the Illusionary Realm.

This one should be the last in the Illusionary Realm.

In the starry sky, there were numerous Giant Dragons fighting enemies. There were also many Giants in the sky, as well as numerous Phoenixes and many beasts. There were also some human race cultivators. There were all sorts of races gathered underneath the heavens, Night Demons with black wings; The Fire Spirit Race whose body was covered in fire patterns, the kind that would spit out flames as they let out a breath; The Golden Winged Race which drove chariots and charged all about. Thousands of different races killed one another around a void fissure.

Just by looking at this scene, he was in awe, unable to calm himself down.

“It’s an Ancient War…”

Zong Shou smiled while restricting his Heart Realm. Such a majestic war had happened several times in the middle period of the God Emperor era, it resulted in many casualties. From the Ancient Cloud Desolate Era, many races that disappeared returned to the Cloud World. Ten thousand years later, the experts that left the world also returned. Every year, there would be an enormous heaven shaking battle.

It was almost nearly perfectly replicated to that of in the game.

Zong Shou had seen this before, so naturally, he wouldn’t be that shocked. He furrowed his brows and thought about it. The test given to him now was obviously impossible for him to help the Dragon Race win the war, this was extremely far from his current abilities.

Then, the only answer would be to survive.

After making his mind up, Zong Shou started to travel forward. He charged about in the wind and energy fluctuations.

Although his cultivation was low, his martial path attainment was already at the Sword Soul Level and was extremely strong.

As long as there wasn’t a Celestial Realm Fighting around him, he would be able to judge the situation in advance and avoid confrontation.

Since he had also witnessed the Absolute Beginning, there were times that before his mind even thought about it, his body would instinctively react.

As expected, Eight minutes later, Zong Shou had easily traveled to the border of the battle.

The void had once again collapsed and there was one more item in his hand.

It was a pair of pure black wings. Each half was made with a full 33,333 pieces of golden steel-like night demon wings.

“Night demon wings? No…”

After looking closely at it, apart from the ability to hide aura and tracks, it could also act as an armor to cover the body. It even had the power of space.

One should be able to travel through space, unfortunately, though, he wasn’t able to try it yet.

This was because his Natural Protector couldn’t use this item, however, Ruoshui would definitely love it. Having this item would be like a tiger having wings.

This was truly interesting. This specific test was to tell juniors how important it was to survive on the battlefield?

It was right to say that the Dragon Race was really intelligent!

The illusionary realm quickly collapsed and a real scene had finally appeared in front of his eyes.

He was still in a void, but the skies of this place had real stars.

Although the area in front of him was vast, there were numerous spiritual patterns and restrictions around that were constantly changing.

Inside, there was a single person. A purple-shirted cultivator that looked to be around thirty years old. Zong Shou had seen him before, he should be from the second shrine’s Daoming Sect.

He was speeding about the restrictions, occasionally, he would trigger some of it. In that case, light would fall from the stars.

Although that purple-shirted man found it tough, his body was still perfectly fine as he would walk forward step by step.

When Zong Shou arrived, the person turned around in shock. It was like he didn’t expect that someone else would arrive here so quickly.

Zong Shou looked across into the distance and his eyes flashed.

At the end of this space, there was actually a ball of magnificent Spirit Jade Marrow. It could help one charge through the gates of the Celestial Path. Even the Lingyun Sect only kept a few drops of this low-grade Earth Grade item!

Upon looking at it more, Zong Shou judged that its color and aura was definitely right! This ball of magnificent Spirit Jade Marrow was 20 times more than what the Lingyun Sect had given him.

Without hesitating, Zong Shou stepped into the formation.

This test probably aimed to examine the formation path attainments of the dragon. Although he wasn’t that good at it, his standards weren’t quite bad too.

These types of spiritual pattern restrictions that were extremely unlike those invisible formations were what he loved.

The 9 bloodlines of the Dragon Race were famous for not being good at formations, so this shouldn’t be too hard.

Without him needing to take out and use the mind stones to just brute force through, he would just occasionally look at it to know whether it was real or fake.

After the incident at the Stargazing Tower, his ability in the formation path seemed to have risen. He felt the changes when he charged out of that vast habitat.

At this moment, that feeling grew even more clear.

Those Great Path Roots and the way the laws flowed were really clear in his eyes.

He stepped forward with huge strides, however, no starlight would seem to fall downwards. After a hundred-odd steps, he was slowly chasing up to that purple-shirted man.

The latter slowly became nervous and picked up his speed. However, while doing so, he touched more of the restrictions, thus, more starlight would shoot down, causing him to stumble.

At this moment, outside of the formation behind them, a person suddenly appeared. It was Fangming. When he saw the two of them were already at the middle to the late stage of the area, his brows furrowed. He regained his calm as quickly as his expression had changed. He walked into the formation. He wasn’t in a rush nor impulsive either, but his speed was a little faster than Zong Shou.

After another 60 steps, Zong Shou was now right beside the purple-shirted man. It seemed like they were about to reach the end. They were just about 10 steps away from the magnificent Spirit Jade Marrow. When the purple-shirted man saw that Zong Shou by his side was about to exceed him.

He couldn’t take it anymore and increased his speed. The first four steps were perfectly fine.

However, when he stepped out on his fifth step, he touched the restriction. This time, hundreds of starlight shot down.

The expression of that purple-shirted man instantly turned ashen-white. He didn’t dare to move forward anymore and quickly held up a golden shield to block the starlight attack.

Zong Shou grinned upon seeing this and casually passed by him.
