Sōmorime's eyes flashed as he bowed towards the empty tablet once more. He finally understood why there wasn't a single word on the tablet.
So his Master actually had a chance to revive.
Based on what he knew, Cang Shengdao had dozens of known Saint Realm experts in this era, so there were definitely End Realm experts. Why didn't anyone help?
Doubts surged in his heart, but in just an instant, Zong Shou suppressed them.
Although this Mysterious Golden Life Book had the ability to summon souls, it would consume a lot of energy.
With the current situation of the common people path, if they didn't have one or two End Realm experts that they could take out, their foundations in the cloud world would instantly collapse.
This Cloud World was different from the world he came from. In the ten thousand years of the Cloud Desolate Era, there were simply too many experts that appeared.
Apart from that, there was also Wei Xu who said that this Mysterious Golden Life Book recorded Cang Shengdao's core disciples. He also said that less than 10% of them remained.
Then, even on a rough estimate, there should be less than 50 of them. No wonder Wei Xu's expression was so sad.
Cang Shengdao's situation wasn't as glorious as it looked on the surface.
Looking at the golden book in the air, Zong Shou was speechless. This thing was indeed not ordinary. As long as one kept a bit of their soul, they would have a chance to revive. It could indeed be called a top treasure.
Apart from the Mysterious Golden Life Book, there were dozens of other treasures here. Zong Shou looked at them one by one. Each time he looked at one, his heart would jump intensely. All of them were huge treasures of Power. Zong Shou had even personally seen a few of them in the God Emperor game. Players naturally had no fate with treasures of such a level. Without exception, they were all in the hands of game characters, making one drool.
Then, his eyes were attracted by another item beside the golden book.
It was a really weird-looking sword, seven feet long and a pale gold color. The spine of the sword was really thick, and the sword body was covered in layers of scales.
Apart from that, there was nothing special about it, no spiritual energy reaction at all. However, it could float in the air and was placed in the center of the many tablets in the ancestral hall.
He also couldn't describe what he was feeling at this moment. Anyways, after he saw this sword, he couldn't shift his eyes away.
"Since the battle eight thousand years ago, your master has been all alone in the world. Sometimes, his whereabouts are even a mystery. She only entrusted me with all her treasures and secret techniques to help her search for a successor. However, these two things are too early for you. When the day comes when you are able to step into the Immortal Martial Door, I will pass those things to you one by one. Although you don't have a master, the heads of Taiyuan and Seven Spirit Sects will definitely treat you as a direct disciple and take care of you. If you have any problems in the future, you can find them. Master's wife and the ancestors of these two sects are really close … "
When Wei Xu said that, he noticed that Zong Shou behind him was distracted. Frowning, Wei Xu couldn't help but laugh and explain, "This is one of the seven celestial swords that Master refined in the past. Based on what she said, if one day the seven swords could be merged into one. That would be the time when I, Cang Shengdao, would rise up once more. My six Senior and Junior Brothers all got one. Only this God Refined Sword is left. Within Cang Shengdao, no matter what realm one's cultivation is at, one is unable to make it yield and use it. There were even many people who suspected that this sword had not been refined at all, and that it could only be left here for the future generations to be fated with. As long as one is a direct disciple of the sect, one will have a chance to get it. "
Only then did Zong Shou come back to his senses. After he heard that, his eyes lit up. However, a moment later, Wei Xu poured a bucket of cold water on him, "However, such an important treasure of the sect can't be easily given to others. My disciples have to at least reach the Celestial Realm and have the ability to protect themselves before they can try to take this sword. If not, with such a treasure, it would be useless. Instead, it would cause trouble. I advise you not to think about this thing now. Although you can take this sword after you reach the Celestial Realm. However, those few Senior Brothers and I were only able to make the other six swords yield after we reached the Saint Realm. As for this God Refined Sword, even End Realm experts have no way to do anything about it … "
What he meant was that this fellow shouldn't bite off more than he could chew. Unless he reached the Saint Realm one day, he shouldn't even try.
Zong Shou laughed bitterly. Saint Realm? End Realm? One day, he would reach the Saint Realm. Who knows how long that would be?
However, why did he have a weird feeling at this moment? He always felt that this God Refined Sword was connected to his mind. As long as he touched it or even just a thought, he would be able to make it yield.
The moment such a thought rose up, the sword that was covered in scales suddenly jumped.
Zong Shou blinked his eyes and looked carefully. However, he saw that the sword was really calm.
His brows instantly furrowed. He probably saw wrongly. Thinking about it, if the sword really made any movements, with Wei Xu's cultivation, he definitely would have noticed.
Then, he heard Wei Xu laugh, "Speaking of which, I forgot that I haven't given you this gift."
Whilst he spoke, a golden light suddenly rose up from Wei Xu's sleeves. Zong Shou wanted to reach out to receive it, only to see the light directly drill into his head. It was nowhere to be seen.
Before he was able to take a close look, two more yellow lights flew over. Zong Shou thought that these two things would also enter his body. Only when they got close did he realize that they weren't. In a panic, he grabbed it in his hands.
Looking carefully, he saw that it was a token and a jade letter.
He didn't know what the jade letter was for, only that it was crafted from jade stone and the quality was really good. The spiritual energy within was even stronger than when the Nine Qilin Sword was repaired by Little Gold.
As for the token, it wasn't weaker than the former. It was even more exquisite. On the surface, it looked like a really normal grade 3 spiritual artifact. It should be a sect keepsake with the name and identity carved on it. However, when his spiritual sense entered, he could clearly sense that there were other mysteries within. However, the complexity of the spiritual formation exceeded that of the Nine Qilin Sword.
Zong Shou took a look and was even more confused, "Taiyuan Sect direct disciple Zong Shou? What is the meaning of this? "
Wei Xu smiled and didn't reply, only slightly nodding his head, "Why don't you try to use it?"
Zong Shou was confused, trying to inject soul power into it. Then, the token suddenly changed one by one. First, it was Zong Shou's name, then it changed to Zhang San, Li Si, Zhao Da. Even his identity as a direct disciple of Taiyuan Sect was constantly changing. Inner and outer sect disciples, even direct disciples of elders, Seven Spirit Sect, Taiyuan Sect, he could do whatever he wanted.
Then, when Zong Shou activated the core Spiritual Formation within, Zong Shou was shocked. He could clearly sense that his face was covered in a thin layer of spiritual energy. Although it wasn't a face changing item or an illusionary technique, it could cause others to be unable to remember what he looked like.
This item along with his sky fox illusionary technique would definitely have a miraculous effect.
"This item can enter and exit the various sects as you wish. It can also help you hide your identity. The Gantian Mountain Monster king is the 7th direct disciple of my Cang Shengdao Sect. If the Donglin Sects knew about this, they would probably be suspicious. "
Wei Xu pointed at the jade letter in his hand, "As for this item, it was specially crafted for you. It can gather spatial energy to store as long as you are still in this world. Every 10 days, you will have a chance to teleport ten thousand miles into my common people's vast habitat. There are no restrictions on where you can use it. I have already set you at Gantian Mountain. At most, it can store spiritual energy for 3 teleportations. However, the greatest use of this item isn't that … "
Zong Shou's brows furrowed, replying without hesitation, "Naturally, it is to escape!" He held the jade letter tightly in his hand. This item was indeed precious to him, it was like having a few more lives in his hands.
Wei Xu instantly smiled, his eyes showing that this kid could be taught.
※ ※ ※
When Zong Shou was teleported by Wei Xu once more and returned to Gantian Mountain City. The thick night sky hadn't even dissipated.
The morning star in the sky had just appeared.
When he returned to the warm room, he saw that the four women were still waiting for him. When Zhao Yanran looked at him, her expression was extremely strange. His eyes flickered between green and white. In the end, he snorted and walked out of the warm room without even saying goodbye. It was likely that this woman would not be able to open her mouth to speak with that title.
Xuan Yunlan also had a weird expression in her eyes but she was much more respectful than Zhao Yanran. Seeing Zong Shou, she bowed respectfully and said, "Disciple Yunlan greets Senior Zong Shou!"
Zong Shou chuckled.
Zong Shou nodded his head in satisfaction. However, he immediately felt that this word was too troublesome. He had goosebumps after hearing it. He then generously waved his hand and said, "Just call me Jun Shang from now on!"
Xuan Yunlan was silent, thinking to herself, I'm not your subject, why do I have to call you Ruler? Then, he looked at Zong Shou with a pleading look.
Zong Shou didn't know what she meant. Only after a while did he know that Xuan Yunlan wanted to leave.
Although Gantian Mountain City wasn't a large sect, it was still one of the strongest powers in the world. Especially at the peak of Gantian Mountain, within the Hanyan Palace, experts were as common as clouds. At night, the security was even tighter.
Without his orders, Xuan Yunlan probably wouldn't be able to leave. Using his soul to sense, as expected, Zhao Yanran didn't leave and was waiting outside.
Zong Shou smiled faintly and waved his sleeve at Chu Xue. "Xue, send them down the mountain."
Chu Xue originally had a stomach full of questions and wanted to ask. At this moment, Zong Shou directly sent her away. She was instantly unwilling. Unwillingly, she led Xuan Yunlan away.
Ruoshui smiled and understood that Zong Shou probably needed a period of time to be alone. Not waiting for Zong Shou to speak, she walked out of the warm room. However, she didn't leave just like that, instead, she waited outside to protect.
Just as the 4 of them left, Zong Shou directly sat cross-legged on the ground. He adjusted his breathing and entered meditation, sending his intent into his soul ocean.
The first thing he had to figure out was what that ball of golden light was. (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.)
