Divine Brilliance Chapter 580 - Book of Universe Qilin

“Pill and throne?” Zong Shou was curious now. He looked straight at Shui Lingbo, waiting for her to give a more detailed explanation.

“The pill is the Extreme Purple Pill! In the past, when s.h.i.+long of Great Qin collected all the pills that were refined by all the cultivators in the world, it was said that it could add fifty years of lifespan. However, before he was able to consume it, he had already died…”

Zong Shou’s brows rose, knowing that s.h.i.+long’s martial cultivation was really strong. It was said that during the Ancient Cloud Desolate Era, even Saint Realm experts had to lower their heads in front of him.

However, someone who used King Path martial techniques was destined to not be able to live forever. As for himself, due to that Nine Layer PaG.o.da suppressing his soul, he wasn’t affected by the King Energy. In his later years, s.h.i.+long started to crazily collect pills that could let him live forever. This pinnacle Purple Pill should be one of them.

Fifty years of lifespan wasn’t worth a mention to top cultivators, who could live for ten thousand years. However, there were only a few types of pills that could increase lifespan.

Zong Shou hadn’t heard of many, even in the future . Those n.o.bles and high officials, even if they had oceans worth of riches, weren’t able to extend their lives.

The first person Zong Shou thought about was Dragon Shadow, who didn’t have long left, who knew if it would be useful for him.

However what was weird was that Zong Shou’s so-called King Energy was having less and less effect on his soul. Who knew what the reason for that was.

“And what is that throne?”

“It’s the Avici Throne!”

Shui Lingbo shook her head. “Legend has it that when Great Qin s.h.i.+long conquered many countries, he used elite copper to craft eighteen copper men. He also used the iron to build many thrones, using the blood of the royal families of the six countries to wors.h.i.+p, forming the Avici Throne. It might not be useful to us cultivators, but to people who cultivate King Path martial techniques, it is a top treasure. As it has the energy of the Ancestral Dragon, all the sects desire it…”

Zong Shou was enlightened. This should be related to the fight for the G.o.d Emperor. Whoever was able to unify the Five Cloud Continents would be this world’s foremost person for the next ten thousand years.

No wonder all the sects would be gathered here, except the Confucians.

However, it wasn’t weird if one thought about it. s.h.i.+long walked the domineering route, and when he was on the throne he burned all the Confucian books. It was a great disaster of the Confucians.

They probably didn’t even want to touch anything that belonged to s.h.i.+long. If there was a chance, they would probably even destroy it.

Zong Shou broke out with a laugh. “There isn’t a tomb of him here, why are there these two items?”

He was really certain where the true s.h.i.+huang tomb was at.

Shui Lingbo scoffed, “There isn’t the s.h.i.+huang tomb, but the Xiang King Tomb was said to have sunk here! That Evil Spirit Moat was said to be where six hundred thousand soldiers of Great Qin were killed at!”

“Xiang King? That overlord who was said to be invincible in the world?”

Zong Shou was startled and thought that it was definitely him. In the past when the Cloud Continent was broken into dozens of pieces, some fell under the cloud ocean, while some floated above. Those that floated were the Five Continents.

If the Evil Spirit Moat was really where the six hundred thousand soldiers were killed, then that was really a possibility.

In his memory, wasn’t that moat cut out by someone? If it was the Xiang King Tomb, then his halberd would probably be still here?

Weird, when that Xiang King died in battle, didn’t his opponent sweep clear all his items?

He was unable to get answers to his questions but he was also lazy to think deeper into it. Be it that Avici Throne or the remaining treasures left by the Xiang King, he didn’t care much about them.

That Extreme Purple Pill was the one he was interested in.

“So that was the case… however there shouldn’t be only two, right? Common People Path wouldn’t care about these…”

“You managed to guess? Your brain is obviously still in a trance, and you can even guess that?”

Shui Lingbo shook her head in disbelief, following which a weird expression appeared on her face, “The universe creation records, the Eon and Universe Books. The Book of Eon Extreme Life might not be here, but the Book of Universe might be here. The sects all sent people over, and apart from the Avici Throne, it was also to investigate this matter…”

Zong Shou’s brows rose, wondering to himself what exactly this place was. Apart from the Book of Eon, it actually was connected to the Book of Universe? His heart moved, “Is this the Cloud Dream Swamp?”

No wonder there would be water element G.o.d beasts here…

“That’s right! However, it is just a broken piece of it! Legend has it that there are numerous precious treasures, numerous spiritual beasts, and numerous legends here. It was said that when the Cloud Continent broke and the Earth’s crust shattered, a portion sank down and totally disappeared.”

Shui Lingbo talked without wanting to hide anything, then she laughed. “Saying this, I just want to tell you that if you miss this chance, you might not have it in the future. Don’t regret it in the future. To search for that G.o.d beast now, you might not be able to win and you might even be in a dangerous situation!”

Zong Shou laughed. If he couldn’t even keep his life, where did he have the mind to think about treasures?

Shui Lingbo was saying all this to tell him that at this moment they could look out for one another.

He also knew that he might not be the opponent of that G.o.d beast, but he still needed to try.

Shui Lingbo nodded and sighed, “Then we will separate here! I will help you search for that person, don’t worry, no matter what I will think of a way…”

As she said that, Shui Lingbo had already left in another direction and stepped into the void.

Zong Shou didn’t blame her at all, what she did was truly the smartest choice.

If that G.o.d beast was beneath the Spirit Realm or even not exceeding initial Spirit Realm, then he could handle it alone.

However if it was above, even if they worked together, it was useless.

——

Calming himself down, Zong Shou continued to travel towards where the water element aura was coming from.

At the start, when he used his spiritual sense to feel, they were really close, but now he felt that there was still a large distance between them.

The reason why he was able to sense it was because the power of that G.o.d beast was too pure and too huge…

The more he walked forwards, the more Zong Shou felt his chest tighten up, he even had an urge to turn around and run away.

The thing in front of him was probably not something he could handle.

Who knows how many thousands of mile miles he travelled in the yin mist before a blue light suddenly appeared in front of his eyes. In this darkness, it was exceptionally eye-catching.

His mind was really heavy, only his soul ocean able to maintain a bit of clarity.

He hesitated for a moment, before continuing to walk forwards. The blue light became stronger and stronger.

Abruptly, Zong Shou stepped into a totally different area, no longer surrounded by Yin mist.

This place had a bright light, a seven-colored spiritual glow floating around, like this was a celestial realm.

Looking out, although below was still a swamp, there wasn’t much of decomposing aura. In the middle was a lake four hundred miles across. Within it were many elite beasts.

Many evil spirits gathered here, trying to charge within, but they were warded outside by a thin layer of water. The moment those evil spirits touched it, a yang power was injected into their bodies, and in just a moment they turned to dust.

When Zong Shou arrived, those evil beings and spirits were restless, charging over greedily. However before they even got close, the Lightning Winged Dragon on his right hand appeared, circling around his body. Millions of lightning arcs swept all about.

Although Hanxi was normally trying to break free at every moment, at this moment she had to be forced to appear by Zong Shou . Together with the six silver ants, they all burned with the saint white flames as they cleared out those beings who managed to pa.s.s the lightning net.

Only Little Gold didn’t appear, but it copied the innate strength of Hanxi, a saint white flame protecting Zong Shou.

Zong Shou didn’t care at all, walking up to the water, reaching out his hand to touch it.

A look of shock flashed across his eyes. This was actually not a restriction but a special power! It was only targeting dead people, it didn’t harm living beings…

How vast one’s spiritual ability had to be to be able to go up against yin power and the energy of death in such a land, and maintain such a peaceful region.

Zong Shou was feeling more and more bitter, but he stepped in without hesitating at all.

The beasts here, maybe because they had never seen a living person, all fled when Zong Shou arrived.

Zong Shou didn’t bother, directly riding his sword to the heart of the lake.

His emotions were tightly clenched, a Grade Nine spiritual sword appearing in his hand.

Just as he was prepared for a tough battle, he stopped at the center of the lake with an exclamation, looking forwards in disbelief.

On one of the rocks in the center, Tanqiu was standing there, looking really peaceful. He reached out with his hand, and a blue-scaled beast was licking his palm, making Tanqiu laugh out loud.

Zong Shou was speechless. He was laughing but it was like a silver bell, extremely loud and crisp, like a sunflower in the breeze.

If it was a girl, then it was okay. Even if she was ugly, it didn’t matter.

However the one who smiled was a guy, and it was him in his last life…

It felt messed up no matter how he looked at it!

Luckily there weren’t anyone else there. If not, he really didn’t have the face to meet anyone in the future.

No! Most important wasn’t that, but the beast with half of its body hiding under the lake.

Its aura was as vast as an ocean, it was obviously at the peak of the G.o.d Realm. However, at this moment it was like a pet being tamed, like it was trying to please the person in front of it.

Zong Shou looked at it, the weird expression on his face growing thicker. “Water Qilin?”

The being in front of him looked like that of a Qilin, really similar to the one he saw in the Qin emperor’s tomb.

Dragon head, deer horns, lion eyes, tiger back, bear waist, snake scales. Only on the four limbs was it a little different, with duck-like feet.

“It should be! A mutated Qilin…”

That Tanqiu casually threw a spiritual pill into its mouth and then patted its head. He smiled and turned around, “You finally came!”

That Water Qilin also looked over, a fierce glow flas.h.i.+ng in its eyes.

It was startled, happiness flas.h.i.+ng in its eyes as it directly ditched that Tanqiu and ran over to Zong Shou!
