In an unknown space-time gap, a black-clothed young man with a cold expression and a longsword on his back was standing proudly in a dark area of chaos.
Like he was waiting for someone, a cold glow flashed in his eyes.
A short moment later, a figure suddenly appeared. He looked young, wearing a white Confucian robe and a Confucian crown. It was Wei Xu who had just separated from Zong Shou.
The moment he appeared, he noticed the presence of the black shirt teen. He stood in the void, confusion appearing in his eyes.
"Are you Senior Brother Mingyu?"
Wei Xu's eyes were like candles, if he was willing, he could light up a world. However, in this place, it was really tough for him.
A moment later, he confirmed the identity of the black shirt teen. He heaved a sigh of relief, "I was wondering why those six people were scared away so easily. So it was Senior Brother protecting them, thank you! "
The black-robed young man snorted coldly. However, in the end, he walked out from the darkness and stared coldly at Wei Xu, "You also know that those six people are tough to deal with? I remember Master said that unless the Seven Swords are gathered or Cang Shengdao is in danger of dying, otherwise, the six of us can't step into the Cloud World. Those words are still ringing in my ears, but 8,000 years have passed. Junior Brother, did you forget those words so quickly? "
"I didn't forget, Junior Brother has to go!"
Wei Xu laughed bitterly, seeing Mingyu's annoyance grow thicker. He reached out and an item appeared in his palm. It was covered in white light and one couldn't see what was within.
"Senior Brother, don't be annoyed. Junior Brother is prepared this time. With this item, I might not be able to beat those few End Realm Masters. However, if I use it to escape, no one will be able to stop me. I don't even care about those six old antiques. "
The black shirt teen took a close look and his expression relaxed. His brows rose up, "Then, the disciple you accepted on behalf of Master's wife, our Seventh Junior Brother. What kind of talent did he have to make you take such a risk? "
"Senior Brother already knows?"
Just as he asked this question, Wei Xu saw the black-clothed youth in front of him point at the space between his eyebrows. He immediately swallowed the rest of his words.
This question was indeed stupid. Zong Shou's name was on the Mysterious Golden Life Book. How could his Senior Brother, who was so close to the Cloud World, not sense anything?
After thinking about it carefully, Wei Xu decided not to tell the truth. If Ran was telling the truth. Perhaps today, the two of them would have to fight immediately.
He could only say vaguely, "Of course it's excellent. Seventh Junior Brother's achievements are probably better than yours and mine. I predict that he will be able to step into the Deity Realm within a hundred years. Become the pillar of Cang Shengdao! "
"Better than you and me?"
When the black-shirted teen heard that, he couldn't help but frown, "The Cloud World is facing the Spiritual Wave. To step into the God Realm in a hundred years is not bad. However, there was no need for her to treat him so generously and register him under her name. There was also no need for you, Wei Xu, to personally head to the Cloud World. "
Wei Xu's eyes flashed, thinking to himself that to step into the God Realm in a hundred years, such a cultivation speed could only be considered average.
However, if this person's sword path was one with the spirit, spirit and martial arts merging into one, then he was really amazing. No, he was one of a kind.
Even compared to the God Emperor in the future, he wouldn't be much weaker.
Although he and his few Senior Brothers were direct disciples of Cang Shengdao, none of them had the right to obtain the true legacy of Xi Zi. During these years, to find a suitable successor for their Master, they had searched many worlds, racking their brains every year.
If he knew that such a peerless talent had actually been given to his master's wife's lineage by him, one could imagine what the consequences would be in the future.
Slightly feeling guilty, he turned his head away. Wei Xu suddenly waved his sleeves and a chessboard appeared in the void. On it, the black and white chess pieces were scattered and the black side was obviously at a disadvantage.
Just as the black-shirted teen had a confused expression, Wei Xu finally opened his mouth, "When I received the letter from the Cloud World, I was playing chess with that person. At this moment, I took the black chess piece first … "
The eyelids of the black-shirted teen jumped, thinking to himself that this was a tragic sight. It was obvious that a huge dragon had been slaughtered by someone.
His Junior Brother was a terrible chess player. He didn't know it and went around searching for people to play chess with.
In the next moment, he saw a white chess piece appear on the chessboard. Wei Xu's voice said leisurely, "I was going to lose this game, I was just pestering him. However, that person placed his piece here! It really makes one think … "
The pupils of the black-shirted teen constricted, "What is the identity of that person?"
Wei Xu also knew that this Senior Martial Brother opposite him was not asking about the one who played chess with him, but about the Junior Martial Brother he had recently accepted. There was no need to hesitate, "His name is Zong Shou. His current identity is the Monster King of Gantian Mountain. He controls Donglin Cloud Continent, a Monster Race power. "
"Gantian Mountain?" The black-shirted teen seemed to have heard of this name before, he was stunned, "But that Zong Weiran was said to have obtained the Book of Eon Extreme Life and then disappeared in the Oblivion Cloud Ocean."
Wei Xu was startled, "So Senior Brother has heard of this person?"
"To be able to chase the daughter of the Lu Family, how would I not know this person?"
The black-shirted teen's expressionless face actually revealed a smile. "I have some connections with this matter. Thus, I paid a lot of attention to this Zong Weiran. The rumors of the Book of Eon Extreme Life are definitely fake. However, this person might not have died in the Oblivion Cloud Ocean. That place is said to be a dead land, but as long as one grasps the method, one can enter and exit freely. When this Zong Shou entered did he ask you to help him investigate the Oblivion Cloud Ocean? "
"No! Maybe he didn't know that his Father didn't die. "
Wei Xu's brows furrowed slightly, but in just a moment he placed this matter down. He asked curiously, "I know Senior Brother Mingyu's personality. Today, you definitely wouldn't come to meet me just to ask about Junior Brother Zong Shou. Is there something else? "
The black-shirted teen nodded slightly, his expression serious, "Not long ago, I sensed something. That God Refined Sword seemed to have some movement. When I charged into the Cloud World, there was no movement from the sword. Which is why I wanted to ask Junior Brother if you sensed anything? "
Wei Xu was startled once more. He definitely wouldn't suspect that what Mingyu sensed was an illusion. However, at that time, why didn't he sense anything at all?
God Refined Sword out, blood washing.
This was the sword that his master had prophesied, the sword that could allow common people path to enter a prosperous state once more. Was there already someone who could obtain it?
Who was that person?

"This is our Gantian Mountain Cloud Ship?"
When he asked that question, Zong Shou was standing on a pier by the shore, quietly observing the giant ships floating in the cloud layer.
The pier was made of wood and stretched out from the shore. Below them was the thick, rolling clouds and mist, as well as the bottomless Evil Land.
If one fell from here, one would instantly be smashed into pieces. However, the entire cloud ocean gave off a repulsive force. As long as one didn't exceed a certain weight, one could float above.
This place was known as Rainbow City, located in the northwest of Donglin Cloud Continent. It was the biggest port in these thousands of miles. Its scale was no weaker than Gantian Mountain. It was only a thousand miles away from Gantian Mountain City and was one of the ten cities directly under Gantian Mountain.
The trading tax from the port each year took up a twentieth of Gantian Mountain's annual tax revenue.
As the buoyancy here was really strong and the terrain was just nice to avoid storms, it was also the intersection of several reliable trade routes which was why merchant ships gathered here.
The ships that sailed within the cloud ocean were split into two types. One was mostly simple spiritual formations and relied heavily on the buoyancy of the abyss. It was a ship that commoners often used.
However, there were many places in the cloud ocean where the buoyancy force was constantly changing. Sometimes it could push the ship ten thousand feet into the air. Sometimes it had no buoyancy and would cause the ship to directly fall into the cloud ocean.
This was why since ancient times, all merchant ships as well as those ships that hunted cloud beasts would follow those routes that they had already explored. Even in the future, it was no exception.
The other type were those cloud ships with complete spiritual formations. Only such cloud ships could fly freely in the sea of clouds. However, there were really few of them and each time they sailed, the consumption of mind stones and beast crystals would be calculated in units of one stone. Normal people wouldn't be able to afford it.
This was why only some hidden sects were able to have them. Or powers like Gantian Mountain would use them as warships to hunt in the cloud ocean.
In front of Zong Shou was such a type. The biggest one was two hundred feet tall and was comparable to a ten-story building. It was also thousands of feet long. There were a total of two hundred and fifty of them, giving off a majestic aura.
"Twenty five tooth giant ships, one of which is the ruler's ship. It is made from floating orchid wood transported from the central continent. Not only is its body as tough as a grade 7 beast, but its buoyancy is also shocking. "
At this moment, the person who spoke was a teen in heavy armor. He proudly raised his chin, "There are also a hundred three tooth giant ships and a hundred and twenty assault ships. They can carry two hundred thousand troops! There are also a hundred and fifty that need to patrol and can't participate. This squadron was built by the previous ruler when he was still alive. Even compared to Taoyun City, it isn't much weaker! "
Zong Shou didn't agree or disagree, looking at these giant ships and entering deep thought. It wasn't until a crackling sound spread out from his shoulder did he come back to his senses.
Looking out, he saw a few large specks of dust being blown apart by the lightning glow around his body.
This was one of the side effects of cultivating the insight mysterious lightning body training art. With his current realm, he could barely reach the microscopic realm in his internal vision. However, he was barely able to do so in just a few moments.
After each practice, there would be a large amount of lightning remaining which wouldn't dissipate. It would be formed within his body and he was unable to direct it to dissipate it.
Naturally, the benefits were not small. Just three times and his body refinement had reached a new level. (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.)
