Deep in the cloud ocean, outside of a palace that was wrapped in mist. Long Ruo was sitting on a tall hill, his expression cold. This place was below the cloud ocean, stabbing into the sky. However, the portion that reached out of the cloud ocean was only a small portion.
In front of him was a silver-white sword light hanging 3 inches in front of him, circling and swimming.
Long Ruo's brows were tightly furrowed. He stared at the sword in front of him, deep in thought.
At this moment, if there was someone who was good at spiritual cultivation here, they would be able to see it within his soul. There were three dazzling golden runes that were projecting rays of light onto the sword.
The light was extinguishing like it was going to see through this sword.
Just as this silver-white sword was about to turn transparent in Long Ruo's eyes.
Suddenly, an insignificant thin sword energy exploded out from within the sword body.
Long Ruo was slightly shocked, retracting his soul intent. The 3 golden talismans in his soul also retracted the light. Flicking out with his right hand, only to hear a light ding as that broken blade sword was tossed hundreds of feet away. It was also restricted by a power such that it didn't fall below the cloud ocean.
"What a good gold breaking sword intent, in the end, it failed once more …"
Frowning, Long Ruo looked at his right hand. Only to see that at the tip of his finger, there was a thin wound.
His martial path wasn't as good as spiritual cultivation and he was only at the martial ancestor realm. However, the strength of his physical body along with his vast soul power wasn't something that normal grade 3 spiritual weapons could injure.
However, that sword just now easily left such a wound on his finger.
His eyes were filled with worry. He had comprehended this gold breaking sword intent for 8 months. At the start, he improved by leaps and bounds. However, close to half a year later, he was stuck at this last step.
It shouldn't be because of his comprehension of the martial path, but also because of the natural barrier between spirit and martial arts.
As expected, the path of a sword cultivator wasn't easy to walk.
Just as he was deep in thought, Long Ruo suddenly felt something. He looked below. Only to see a person climbing up from below. However, he wasn't stepping on the mountain stone but was walking in the air.
It was obvious that he was not familiar with it. His body swayed and his speed was slow. However, every step he took was extremely steady.
The three hundred feet tall hill was not steep, but this person took nearly fifteen minutes to walk step by step to the top of the hill.
His eyebrows and forehead were covered in sweat. However, the young man's face was filled with joy and satisfaction.
Long Ruo also felt happy for him, laughing lightly, "Congratulations junior brother Zu, you are already at the ascended realm. With a lifespan of a thousand years, they will no longer be on the same level as mortals. "
When Zu Renkuang heard this, he laughed out loud, "I have been training in the world for seven years and have cultivated bitterly in this Cloud Palace for many years. Now, I have finally taken this step. But now that my realm is unstable, who knows, it might fall back again tomorrow. "
Following which he looked towards the silver spiritual sword in front of Long Ruo, "Senior brother is still comprehending this gold fragment sword intent? It seemed like he really had to learn the art of sword cultivation, cultivate a second primordial spirit, and gather the sword intent of the sword embryo. What's the progress now? "
"That's right, I want to cultivate a second Primordial Spirit. I still have to thank Junior Brother Zu for this! To think that you found this broken blade sword for me. Although the progress is small, but within 2-3 months I will have some achievements. "
Long Ruo smiled, casually waving his sleeves and keeping the silver-white spiritual sword. Following which he asked curiously, "Junior brother Zu didn't come here to ask me about the progress of the gold fragment sword intent. What is the matter, why not be direct? Our relationship is different, so there is no need to be polite. "
"I really wanted to ask senior brother about your sword intent. There are still three months before the dragon gate opens and the martial saint image appears. Which is why senior master told me to ask senior brother about your progress, whether or not you can break through within three months … "
Zu Renkuang laughed, following which his tone changed, "There is one more thing to inform senior brother. Did senior brother order a 4th generation disciple to pay attention to news about the Gantian Mountain prince Zong Shou? This person wanted me to pass a message to you, saying that three days ago. That prince has already killed Zong Shi, Zong Ming and Zong Hao, officially ascending to the throne and becoming the 2nd generation monster king of Gantian Mountain. "
Long Ruo's eyes constricted, his eyes filled with shock, "You are saying that Zong Shi and Zong Ming all died in his hands?"
Even if Zu Renkuang said that Zong Shou inherited the position of monster king. It wasn't as shocking as the deaths of these few people.
A few days ago he had understood Gantian Mountain. He knew that the direct bloodline disciples of the Zong family had deep roots in Gantian Mountain.
Zong Shou wanted to make them give up the position of monster king to borrow the strength of his subjects. He also had a chance of success.
But to wipe out the 3 of them was tough.
"I don't know, senior brother have you heard of Xue Moyan? I heard that he is the most outstanding person in this generation of the Xue family. "
Seeing Long Ruo's eyes flash, it was obvious that he had heard of this person. Zu Renkuang didn't introduce him, saying expressionlessly, "3 days ago, this person and Daoming Sect Wuye Zhenren, Xuansu Sect Lihu Jichang, along with several Xuanwu ancestors and return to sun realm spirit masters all died on the altar of Gantian Mountain. I heard that Zong Shou personally killed them. Even the sky fox Zong family race uncle Zong Zheng also lost to Zong Shou … "
"That's impossible!"
Long Ruo stood up when he heard that, his eyes filled with shock and bewilderment. How was it possible for a cripple with the Barriers of Heaven and Man to kill Xue Moyan?
Even if he saw wrongly. 10 months ago Zong Shou had just reached the martial master realm, he definitely couldn't become so strong in a short year.
Daoming Sect Wuye, Xuansu Sect Jichang were all top talents. Not to mention the 3 of them, even any Xuanwu ancestor. They could easily use one finger to crush Zong Shou to death.
"At that time, I was also shocked! Even the sect leader sent a talisman to ask about it. "
Zu Renkuang wasn't shocked by Long Ruo's loss of composure, smiling slightly as he shook his head, "I sent people to investigate and noticed that the people who were there that day didn't speak about it in detail. They were either bragging that the prince Zong Shou was strong and even ascended ancestors weren't his match, or they were unwilling to speak about it. What was more surprising was that there were weird rumors in the market. They said that Zong Shou killed 4 grade 6 beasts when he was 8 and forced back the yin serpent in the evil spirit moat when he was 10. There were many other things, forget it, take a look yourself … "
As he said that, Zu Renkuang directly tossed a jade letter over. Long Ruo caught it. Just looking at half of it, a smile appeared on his face, "This means that when this prince was ten, he was already an expert of the same grade as us …"
The yin serpent in the evil spirit moat was the same grade as his grade 7 black flood dragon, formed from evil yin power. Ordinary Seventh Stage powerhouses would only be courting death in front of him. To be able to force it back, his strength was naturally really strong.
However, shortly after, Long Ruo's gaze was filled with caution, "Looking at the way this kid acted that night, he was indeed decisive and vicious. Building his own race, his methods are really extraordinary. At the start, I underestimated him. Also, after this kid, there must be other experts helping him … "
"He is indeed amazing, so young and already so scheming. When we met in Cloud Saint City, I saw some clues. Unfortunately, he has barriers from heaven and is unable to cultivate. "
Zu Renkuang shook his head and sighed, feeling a little regretful. Following which he thought about it, "As for the expert behind this kid, heh! That day after the heaven worshipping altar, there was something really weird. Be it Yunxia Mountain, Blazing Flame Mountain. Or the Xue Family, Daoming Sect, Xuansu Sect. The news they obtained were all rumors that happened not long after in Gantian Mountain City. Not a single power knew what was going on at the Heaven Sacrificial Altar. It was like the spies they placed in Gantian Mountain City were all pulled out by someone. I am guessing that the person behind Zong Shou is not only strong but also able to suppress that Zong Zheng. His own strength must be really strong. Who knows, he might have acted for that Yin Dragon Canyon item. As for this Zong Shou, he might have some strength. However, the deaths of Xue Moyan and the others probably had nothing to do with him. Those rumors were mostly just to cover up the truth. Speaking of which, senior brother, our sect decided to not care about this Yin Dragon Canyon? "
Long Ruo couldn't help but slightly nod his head. What Zu Renkuang said was the same as what he had guessed. When he heard the latter part, he smiled, "Why would we not care? The things in our own territory, no matter how those few sects make a ruckus. In the end, our Lingyun Sect would have a share of the profits. Why jump out at such a time and become the target of all the sects? Let's wait until the Dragon Gathering Mountain Dragon Sect matter is settled. If we can see the Martial Saint's image, we will definitely be able to improve. "
"Martial saint image? This time I might not be able to get a spot to directly enter the inner sect. I might not be able to see it. "
Zu Renkuang touched his nose, revealing a bitter smile. He stood up and was about to say goodbye when he suddenly thought about something.
"Oh right! Senior brother Long, I heard that you recently had some relationship with Mysterious Cloud Spirit Sect's Han Nishui. Recently this person was said to be in a bad state because of the marriage matter, his situation is worrying. Originally this person wanted to borrow the strength of Mysterious Cloud Spirit Sect and Pill Fountain Sect to pressure Xuan Mountain City. However, I heard that 2 days ago that Xuan Mountain City lord Xuanyuan Tong broke through to the ascended realm. I heard that there are 2 large sects that want to recruit this person. "
Long Ruo couldn't help but be startled, following which his expression sunk once more.
The matter that they had agreed on actually had such a change. All of a sudden he was distracted, unable to calm down even after he sent Long Ruo away.
That unharmonious feeling in his heart was getting thicker and thicker. His heart was vexed, unable to calm down for a long time.
It was this Zong Shou again, feeling more and more that this person's matter was out of his control.
Even if he placed that broken blade sword in front of him once more, he was unable to calm his heart down to comprehend it.
Speaking of which, this broken blade sword in front of him was originally obtained by the Gantian Mountain prince, making him annoyed and annoyed. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
