Chapter 782 - Setting The Path
Chapter 782: Setting The Path
The first to change was the Lightning Winged Dragon. A Dragon roar shocked the entire sky.
A Dragon suddenly charged up from the Heaven Reaching Platform, flying into the sky.
It attracted millions of lightning bolts and the atmosphere became extremely noisy.
Zong Shou looked up and laughed.
It was time for this Lightning Winged Dragon to have a true name. He had thought of the name Lightning Wing long ago.
Different from normal Lightning Winged Dragons, it had 6 Transparent Red Fire Wings. It could be said to be a mutated dragon.
This was why although its Lightning Skills were slightly weaker, it was able to use the True Fire Power of the sun. Its speed was greater than a normal Lightning Winged Dragon and it could even compare Hanxi.
Looking below, the Vast Lightning Body Destroying Tribulation of the Blue Fire Xuan Turtle was also about to come to an end.
The Giant Xuanwu Beast shell had constricted to 5,000 feet.
The Blue Fire Xuan Turtle’s body had grown by a lot. Four limbs and two wings stretched out from within the shell. It was a great fit.
The huge head looked toward Zong Shou with a provocative intent. A dangerous glow flashed in its eyes like it was tempted to fight him.
Zong Shou burst out laughing and spread his Spiritual Sense to activate the Soul Restricting Technique.
The Blue Fire Xuan Turtle instantly cried out in pain, using its claws to grab its head and it laid on the ground. His head smashed the ground several times, looking like it was in extreme pain.
In the end, it couldn’t take it anymore and begged Zong Shou before the pain lessened.
Then, it became more well behaved and stayed beside Zong Shou like a tamed animal.
Its eyes flashed a weird glow. It didn’t know how Zong Shou could still activate the Soul Restricting Formation using his Late Spirit Realm cultivation.
He made it such that it couldn’t escape and also managed to cause it such pain…
However, it now understood that it was best if it didn’t try to break out of his control.
With a flash, Zong Shou returned back to the Heaven Reaching Platform.
The Blue Fire Xuan Turtle going through the tribulation also gave him a lot of benefits.
He wasn’t able to enter the state of being connected to the Heavens, but he was still able to spy on some of the core Grade Dao laws.
They were all secrets regarding the physical body. All the power of the tribulation targetted the body, those weak tendons, to try to destroy it.
The Blue Fire Xuan Turtle relied on its thick Turtle Shell to pass the tribulation. That was something he couldn’t do in the future.
“If I didn’t get close to it I wouldn’t know how lacking my current body is. There are still so many areas that need to be improved…”
The more he thought about it, the more shocked he was. If he was unable to block any one of those tribulation locks, he would end up dying.
“No wonder most cultivators prepared secret treasures to face the tribulation…”
This was the same theory as the Blue Fire Xuan Turtle using the power of the Xuanwu Turtle Shell to survive the tribulation.
Weaknesses he couldn’t perfect himself could only be solved by outside help.
The tribulation was both a calamity but also a perfection of one’s foundations.
With a thought, Zong Shou covered his body with Spiritual Sense. He then entered meditation and looked into his vast Soul Ocean. Above it were those eighteen talismans and the Black and White Hope Dharmas.
He thought back to the Law word from Shiyue, where all the laws of Heaven and Earth were included within.
He recalled Dragon Shadow’s One, Nine True Dragons all returning to the One of the Absolute Beginning.
If he hadn’t gone through that battle and viewed Shiyue’s foundations, he wouldn’t know how complicated his Soul Ocean Talismans were.
“Shiyue used Law as his foundation, saving the trouble of merging his Dao into one early on. So, what should I do?”
“After the talismans, make it simple! Logically speaking, I would choose one of the Daos that I grasp as my foundation.”
“If I continue to develop the Black and White Holes, most probably I can maintain the End and Beginning specialty. End of the universe, Beginning of the universe, it describes everything and gives birth to many laws. Absolute Beginning is my source Dharma. In the future, it won’t be tough to reach the End Realm and I might even be able to try for the True Realm! However, I don’t want to give up on Universe and Eon, Yin and Yang, Life and Luck, Cause and Effect, Swallow and Spit…”
Zong Shou’s brow tightened and he felt really conflicted.
He was unwilling to give up any of them and didn’t want to.
“Master, used the Nine True Dragons to deduce the true meaning of the Absolute Beginning Dragon. He wants to use this path to reach the True Realm. Although no one in this region has ever reached True Realm, however, I’ve also heard that there can only be one person who reaches the pinnacle of the Dao. If someone occupies it, one wouldn’t be able to reach the True Realm. I want to walk the End and Beginning Path, but it is conflicting with that Master’s objectives.”
“Those words can’t be proven, but I have to be wary of it. Shiyue used the Law word to describe all the Daos in the world. Then, what should I do to merge the Eighteen Talismans and Black and White Holes into one?”
Meditating on it, he was still unable to find a clue. His finger subconsciously drew on the ground in front of him.
Two hours later, when Kong Yao finally memorized all of Zong Shou’s comprehensions and opened her eyes, she saw Zong Shou in a daze beside her.
There were two Spiritual Beasts accompanying him. One was the Lightning Winged Dragon which had passed its tribulation and was relying on the abundant Spiritual Energy here to strengthen his body.
The other was a Turtle she had never seen, which had shrunk to the size of a palm and was quietly lying beside him.
Kong Yao didn’t want to interrupt, but she saw his face twisting, suddenly angry and annoyed, suddenly delighted, suddenly helpless, like he had lost his mind. She was worried and asked, “Ruler, why are you so focused?”
Her tone was filled with the Heart Calming Soul Clearing Secret Technique. Her voice was gentle and crisp to try to calm his emotions down.
She really wished Xuan Yunlan was here, with her skills just one song could calm Zong Shou down totally.
Zong Shou finally came back to his senses, “Little Yao, you called me? What do you mean focused?”
Then, he understood and smiled at Kong Yao in gratitude.
As expected, after crossing three Grades in one day, his soul and mind were shaken and no longer stable.
If she hadn’t called out to him, he might have really lost his mind today.
“Ruler’s cultivation speed is unseen in the world. Your foundations are thick and very little can compare to you. There is no need to be so anxious…”
Kong Yao shook her head and persuaded. Then, she looked curiously at the space in front of him.
“Ruler, what word were you drawing on the ground. Kong Yao found it really profound like it was a match with Heaven and Earth. Oh, no! It accepted the entire Heaven and Earth within. I really can’t understand and don’t know how to say it. Is that a word barrier? A secret of a law that can’t be spoken aloud?”
“Call me husband! Ruler is too distant…”
Zong Shou said while he looked forward. He was stunned, “It is Dao, the Dao of the Grand Path!”
The moment he said this, Kong Yao’s mind was shaken. Looking closely, it really was a Dao word.
Before this, she couldn’t understand, but now hearing Zong Shou say it, she suddenly broke this word barrier.
Then, Zong Shou laughed, “I was thinking about it for half a day, who knew that the solution was already returned to me!”
Shiyue’s Law word included all the laws in the world. Then, he would use this Dao word to merge all the 3,000 Grade Daos!
Absolute Beginning and End, Cause and Effect, Fate, Life and Death, Swallow and Spit, Yin and Yang, Universe and Eon, all these Daos were all inside?
The moment such a thought rose up, his entire Soul Ocean was changing. With a loud explosion, it was shaking up and rearranging.
Several breaths passed and when it ended, apart from his Soul Power having increased slightly, there was not much change.
However, he could sense that after he comprehended his path, the structure within was more stable. It was harmonious with the Source Spirits of Heaven and Earth.
In the future, if he engaged with people with intent, his Sword Intent would be much stronger.
He couldn’t suppress the surprise as he hugged Kong Yao and kissed her face passionately.
Just at this moment, he sensed something. Several familiar auras were flying over.
“Yiren and Ruoshui!”
Zong Shou didn’t need to differentiate and his heart and soul sensed them. “There are also two more, Renbo and Kong Rui. No, it is Country Father in Law Kong. Hu Zhongyuan and the others also came…”
Kong Yao was shocked and struggled out from his embrace. Her face flushed red and she didn’t know what to do, how to face those people.
Xuanyuan Yiren was the big Wife and Kong Rui was her father, Hu Zhongyuan and the others were her subjects.
Thinking back to all the lustful things she did here today, she felt so embarrassed that she didn’t want to see other people. She felt like digging a hole and hiding inside.
Looking around, she was prepared to find a place to hide, but it was empty all around.
Just as she was hesitating whether to hide in his sleeves, a few people stepped in from outside. Xuanyuan Yiren’s voice rang out. She didn’t bother with Zong Shou, directly asking Kong Yao, “Sister Kong Yao, are you okay today?”
Kong Yao couldn’t help but sigh. She had to face up to these matters in the end.
She straightened her body and bowed, “Kong Yao greets sister.”
When she said this, two petite bodies stepped in.
Their gazes were filled with pity and sympathy.
Kong Yao didn’t understand, but she soon understood. They exchanged glances with one another and felt like they shared the same experiences.
At the same time, in Common People’s Vast Habitat, within the Book Hiding Hall B, Hanfang who was sitting down leisurely with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them in shock.
He turned into a Purple Light and charged into the Ancestral Hall. Looking at the Mysterious Life Golden Book, his eyes were opened wide.
“What happened? That kid actually moved forward another page? What did he do?”
Zong Shou was originally on page fifteen, but now he was a page forward, pushing down on another person.
