Divine Brilliance

Chapter 1004: Very dishonest

It was already six hours later when Zong Shou walked out of the main hall.

At this moment, everyone beside him was filled with excitement.

Lin Xuanshuang didn’t die, her soul was accumulated and her body was reformed. The news was like a strengthening agent that was injected into the hearts of everyone here.

Even if Zong Shou told them that her injuries weren’t fully recovered and her physical body was still not at the End Realm level, even so, it was enough to make up for the news of the Taoist Faction purchasing 1,000 Spirit Realm Cultivators.

With Lin Xuanshuang’s End Realm cultivation, even if her physical body was weak, under the protection of the Vast Habitat, she would be no different from at End Realm.

She was fully focused on the martial path and no spells were just relative to people of the same grade.

Especially the Source Life Spirit Breathing Technique which could help gather one’s life force and heal injuries. It was a top healing technique. That was something that everyone looked forward to even more...

Even Wei Xu’s body was filled with more life and more hope.

One could say that in just a day, Common People’s Path had added two End Realm combat strength.

Yuanjing and Lin Xuanshuang might not be strong enough on a head-on battle, but they could aid Xiuguan such that he didn’t need to worry about anything else.

Zong Shou looked on coldly from the side, there was no sadness or joy in his heart.

Knowing that Lin Xuanshuang had revived was like a saving grace for everyone present.

He was not so optimistic and guessed that the Taoist Faction definitely still had other things planned.

Wei Xu was a top intellectual, pretty much thinking about all scenarios. However, even such a person fell into the traps of that Qingxuan.

One could tell how deeply that person thought and how airtight his strategy was.

Thinking about it, during those few days that they spent in the Nine Extreme Death Jail, what Lin Xuanshuang said and did had deep meaning.

Did she not have high hopes for this battle? She went to find other chips when his bloodline was improving and before he awakened his Sky Burning Blood Eyes?

Who knows when his Master would be able to rush back?

He was really pessimistic but he didn’t show his emotions on his face.

There was no need to splash a bucket of cold water over their heads when they were all excited and filled with hope.

Otherwise, those few seniors would probably teach him a lesson.

During that night, Chuxue pretty much stuck right next to him and wasn’t willing to even be a step away.

When Zong Shou was meditating and cultivating she slept on his foot, she slept really sweetly.

Such that Fanmeng and Lin Xuanxuan were furious and helpless and they could only leave.

The next day, when Zong Shou woke up, he noticed that Chuxue was still asleep.

He felt weird, did Ruoshui’s habit of sleeping too much spread to her?

When cultivators reached Spirit Realm, not sleeping for dozens of days was normal. Often a few breaths of meditation would allow them to recover their energy.

However, Chuxue’s nap was several hours at once which he really didn’t understand.

He caressed her soft and bright black hair, shock and adoration appeared in his eyes.

In terms of cultivation, Chuxue really gave him a huge surprise this time.

True energy like jade, pure body, Spirit Trained Jade Bones, Spirit Locked Celestial Muscles.

This brat actually reached peak Celestial Realm, half a step to God Realm!

As her Master, where could he place his face?

He could also sense that in her sleeves there were five auras that were no weaker than Celestial Realm cultivators who locked onto him with a warning intent.

They were laying in wait, as long as he had bad intentions toward her, they would pounce out and bite him.

They were the five God Beast subspecies that Zong Shou found for her in the past, her natural Protector Beasts.

However, there were many changes to them now and it wasn’t right to still call them subspecies.

Looking at their aura, they had stepped into the lowest grade of God Beasts and weren’t as tender and immature as when they were just born.

They hid a fierce energy within them and gave off a bloody stench. They probably went through lots of slaughter...

Zong Sou licked his lips, not bothering as he rubbed her cute cat ears and pinched her nose.

Thinking to himself that these few fellows really are arrogant, I want to trample on your Master, what can you do about it?

A few growls spread into his ear, they were obviously threatened by Zong Shou and didn’t dare to offend him anymore.

Chuxue was annoyed and waved her arms to smack his away.

In the end, she woke up in a daze.

When she opened her eyes, she saw Zong Shou’s teasing gaze. Her expression wasn’t able to recover. She stretched and then like a little cat she curled up and hugged Zong Shou even more tightly.

A few breaths later her face turned red and she buried her head into his chest, unwilling to raise it up.

Zong Shou couldn’t help but laugh, he had never been so happy in a long time.

“Why are you so sleepy? It is like you haven’t slept in a few years?”

“No!”

She shook her head, “However, I really haven’t slept in a few months. Only being beside you, can I sleep well.”

A dangerous glow flashed in Zong Shou’s eyes. He was originally just joking and he didn’t expect that it was true.

“Was it Fanmeng? She didn’t let you sleep?”

If she really tortured his Xue’er even if Lin Fanmeng was his senior, Lin Xuanshuang’s sister, he was going to still teach her a lesson.

Chuxue scoffed, “No! She treats me so well! There was a period of time she wanted me to do a lot of work such that I was really busy. At the start, I was scolding her and she even threw me to a place called Lingcang World. There wasn’t anyone there and only various weird beasts. I had to fight everyday...”

Zong Shou’s lips curled up, as expected Fanmeng had some standard.

He had never heard about Lingcang World but he knew that with her Combat Martial Body only by fighting in high-intensity battles would she improve!

The fierceness of her five Protector Beast probably came from that too.

It seems like not only Chuxue had benefited from the intense battles.

“...However, there was one time that I got injured. Master took care of me for seven days and nights and then brought me to chase and kill that Beast Emperor that injured me. After that, I didn’t think that way and scold her anymore.”

Zong Shou sighed. He really didn’t know what to say about this Chuxue, she was too easily bought over by others.

It was all his fault, he didn’t teach her well.

“After healing for a few months, Master dripped a drop of some lotus liquid thing in my body making my bones itchy. At the start, it was also really pain but since my injuries healed those beasts weren’t able to beat me anymore...”

Zong Shou’s brow rose up, it should be the Spiritual Lotus Energy Liquid, the liquid from a 10,000-year old lotus which was then mixed with other spiritual medicine.

Although it wasn’t a Celestial Pill, it should have been one of the most precious body training herbs.

Especially to Celestial Realm and God Realm cultivators, it was pretty much the stuff of dreams.

Was this where her Spirit Trained Jade Bones and Spirit Locked Celestial Muscles came from?

His Senior Master really was willing to splurge on her!

“A few days later, Xue’er was unable to find any opponents in that world, so she let me out. And then she threw me under a waterfall and there was a huge whirlpool there. The water there was different from the Cloud World and it was 1,000 times heavier. Not only did I have to stand still there, I had to memorize books, those records, and use something called the Jiuchen Tongxuan Pill...”

Zong Shou’s lips were twitching, Jiuchen Tongxuan Pill? Eat it every day?

This pill was really famous in the Cloud World and was able to greatly improve cultivation.

There weren’t many left in the world and there were very few people who could refine it. However, there would be very few people with abundant life force who would eat it.

Cultivation improving quickly would also mean that their foundations would be affected.

Only those people who had no hopes of further improving would try to use it to charge past their current realm to improve a little further.

At this moment, he finally knew how Chuxue was able to get her shocking cultivation.

Large amounts of Spirit Lotus Essence Pill right into her body, there were still remnants even after the medicine took effect.

Under the waterfall, the power of the whirlpool was like blades which could further help her train her body and force out the remaining medicinal powers.

Eating the Jiuchen Tongxuan Pill was a double-edged sword to other people but it was only good for her. Combat Martial Body didn’t need to worry about shaky foundations. Their body was able to grasp the Dao without much comprehension.

Just now, he found out that her foundations were even stronger than his.

As for memorizing books, those records, there was deep meaning to that too.

She couldn’t give up on theories just because her Combat Martial Body naturally comprehended things.

Forcefully memorizing it, even if she was able to learn a little, it would benefit her for the rest of her life.

Fanmeng was truly a smart Master! In such a short time, she trained Chuxue to such a level...

Thinking about the pills, and liquid, Zong Shou couldn’t help but feel envious and jealous.

Looking at Xue’er’s Master who was so responsible, but Dragon Shadow or Lin Xuanshuang, they were really unreliable.

“After that, then it became relaxed. Master said I improved too quickly and it wasn’t a good thing. I don’t have to purposely cultivate or rush to advance, just play around. So, a few months ago, I went back to the Cloud World to the Instant Space Dragon Hall. I want to help Young Master and not play. So, I stayed there for a few months. Master also said...”

She seemed to think about something and said, “Oh right! Master gave me many good things and many Celestial Stones. There are also a few things that are all Celestial Treasures, I can use them to kill people.”

She took out a ring and waved it in front of Zong Shou, looking over gleefully. Like she was trying to tell him that she also had someone to rely on, so if Young Master bullied her, she would complain about him.

Zong Shou was really annoyed, it seemed like he had to teach this girl a lesson.

To think he felt unfair for her and wanted to seek justice from Senior Master Fanmeng?

The moment such a thought rose up, he stretched out to pinch her cheeks. She smiled as she straightened her body and dodged.

Moments later, both of them stopped. His hands had just nicely touched her breasts.

Moments later, her face flushed red, she folded her arms and ran out.

“Young Master, you pervert!”
