Xuanyuan Yiren's eyes shone with a weird glow, "Then how did you know? Such a place, don't tell me you saw it in a book? "
Zong Shou instantly felt a headache, knowing that Xuanyuan Yiren would ask about the reason. Luckily, he wasn't as worried about Zong Weiran as he was before.
The Gantian Mountain Monster king position was already decided. As for Zong Weiran, he would think about that in the future. Since he had already joined Cang Shengdao, with the scriptures and books in his treasury. At that time, he would be able to perfect the one origin sword to a certain extent.
"I really read it from a book."
As he said that, Zong Shou shook his head and smiled, "During the year of the setting sun, the spiritual salamander went up against Xi Zi. It couldn't win, so it cut off its tail to survive. Its tail fell into the saint burial ground. Actually, this mist is formed from the blood of the spiritual salamander. The spiritual salamander is one of the ancestors of the beast race, which is why its blood is the most effective against beasts and monsters. However, it is also poisonous. There are many more, do you want me to recite them to you? "
Xuanyuan Yiren scoffed and turned her face away. Thinking to herself that she had read so much, so why didn't she bump into it? In the future, she would definitely flip through the Linhai College and Gantian Mountain book stacks to see whether or not what Zong Shou said was true.
Thinking about how since he was the ancestor of Cang Mountain Path, Xi Zi, then he most probably knew about this place from his Saint realm senior brother.
"Actually, this place isn't totally without danger, it is just that the time is coincidental."
Zong Shou cast another spell and continued to sweep away the mist. Following which, one could see many beast corpses buried in the ground.
"Every night, when the yin energy of heaven and earth is at its strongest, the poison here would become stronger. At that time, even grade 5 experts would find it hard to take and would need to find a place to hide. "
Following which he looked around, "This valley is roughly four hundred miles wide. The further one goes, the lower the terrain, and the stronger the mist. There should be less than seven thousand beasts here. However, I heard that the bottom is connected to an abyss. Every day, beasts and evil spirits would be attracted by the mist and enter this place … "
Yiren instantly felt a little regretful. There were too few beasts here and they were destined to not be used on a large scale. Even if new beasts entered, it wouldn't be easy to form too much of such essence blood.
Shi Dan, on the other hand, was slightly moved, even though she knew that this place wouldn't be of much use. However, Zong Shou didn't even hide such a treasure land and the Spirit Salamander's tail from an outsider like her. It could be seen that he trusted her a lot.
With such a monarch, it was worth it to defy the sect's order and stay under Zong Shou's command.
"In that case, we'll have to hunt these poisonous beasts for the next few days?"
When Xuanyuan Yiren asked this question, she was slightly puzzled. "Zong Shou, are you not planning to go when the dragon gate opens?"
"It's you, not me. How can I not go to the Dragon's Gate Martial Sage's remnant image? "
Zong Shou smiled and looked at the stunned crowd. "What are you all standing there for? Could it be that you want me to do it myself? Do you want me to deliver the essence blood to your mouths? "

Two grade 4 Dragon Horned Winged Horses sped through the swamp. As they were grade 4 beasts, their combat strength was extremely strong and they had dragon blood in their bodies. The person riding on them also gave off an extraordinary aura. Which was why there weren't any blind beasts in the swamp that came to find trouble with them.
The person in front was Zong Yuan. He rode the horse forward while paying attention to the surroundings and under his feet.
In this swamp land, the most dangerous place was within the mud. No matter what kind of monster it was, it could be hidden.
If one was unlucky, one might even meet a grade 7 beast.
His personality was like that. Even if he knew that Zong Shou's combat strength was far above his, he still went all out.
The one sitting on the Dragon Horned Winged Horse behind was naturally Zong Shou. At this moment, he was in a half awake state.
He only left a bit of his spiritual sense to be wary of the surroundings, paying attention to the changes in his soul ocean.
He had no choice but to do so. Actually, since he advanced to return to sun spirit master, he hadn't had a good night's sleep.
All of this was because of the swallow and purify talismans which caused his soul ocean to mutate.
In the past, this whirlpool was still restrained. Although it was swallowing heaven and earth spiritual energy, it was a small amount.
However, since he formed these 2 true spiritual talismans, this whirlpool had a core and its suction strength was more than 10 times stronger!
It also didn't just swallow normal 5 element spiritual energy, but directly swallowed source spiritual energy, the source of all this spiritual energy.
Even if he formed 7 complete spiritual veins in his soul ocean, it still didn't stop. It caused the whirlpool to continue to strengthen and compress.
Purely in terms of soul power, he was no weaker than Zong Ling who had entered the return to sun realm 15 years ago and was about to form 9 spiritual talismans. Six times stronger than same grade spirit masters!
As such, Zong Shou was always worried about what changes would happen after this soul ocean, causing him to lose his life in his sleep.
The only thing that made him happy was that one origin sword. Since he recovered the lost land of Gantian Mountain and swallowed 3 provinces, he had 10 more cities directly under his rule. His population also increased by 50 million. The dragon energy within the sword continued to grow and strengthen, the dragon shape on the sword body also became more and more obvious.
The Emperor Wind Incantation also easily broke through to the sixth level.
This was also Zong Shou suppressing it from start to finish. This was because he didn't carve it to cultivate. If he focused on cultivating it, charging into the 7th realm would be really easy.
However, that 9 layer pagoda was even stronger. It pressed down on his soul ocean, not moving at all. Thousands of threads of auspicious energy brushed down.
While repairing his soul, it also suppressed this sword. The only thing that was surprising was that ever since he put on a show in the Tiegang Stone Hall of Zhen Zhen Peak that day, the corrosive power of this so called 'Qi of the Dao of the King' did not seem to be as strong. It seemed to be much gentler, making one feel at ease.
The sun slowly set, and within the swamp, it became more and more dark and cold. This was the most dangerous time of this place.
The 2 of them still didn't stop, urging the mounts to continue to charge forwards. Roughly 4 hours later, they could see a 30 thousand feet tall mountain in front of them.
"Ruler, we have arrived at Dragon Gathering Mountain!"
Zong Yuan raised his head and took a close look. Only to see that apart from the mountain being especially tall and huge, there wasn't anything special about it. There was nothing out of the ordinary about this place. It was surrounded by swamps on three sides and by the sea.
The only thing that was surprising was that the vegetation on the mountain was unusually exuberant.
Zong Shou also woke up. The moment he opened his eyes, he smiled, "As expected from the name of Dragon Gathering …"
At the foot of the mountain, there were dozens of spiritual veins gathered. It was also the beginning and end of the seven large dragon veins. The path of the mountain was really weird.
If it wasn't for the location being a little wrong and being surrounded by swamps where humans couldn't survive, this place would have been a great city. This place was the best place to establish a city and a capital, and it could be nourished by the King's Qi.
However, even then, this place was still a top burial ground. It was the so-called blessed land in Fengshui and could be listed as a first grade.
In truth, 5 thousand years later when the swamps dried up. It was true that a large city had been built here, and a large country had also risen.
The 2 of them walked to the foot of the mountain and found a dry place to sit down. At this moment, there were roughly 4 days until the Dragon Gate opened. The mountain was covered in restrictions placed by the martial saint. It was said that there were many beasts that used this place as their nest and were really strong.
This was why the 2 of them weren't in a rush to go up the mountain.
Zong Yuan started a fire and sat down not far from it. He took out a silver-white liquid from a magnetic bottle and absorbed it into his body from his palm.
This was what the 2 of them got from hunting under the cloud ocean. During these few days, the group of them hunted and killed under the cloud ocean. They gathered roughly 400 drops and let the 2 of them bring it over.
Actually, based on what Zong Shou wanted, he was planning to come to this Dragon Gate alone. However, Zong Yuan was worried and wanted to follow. Considering that the remnant image of the martial saint was of great help to him, Zong Shou could only agree.
What he didn't expect was that Xuanyuan Yiren wasn't willing to follow. She said that it was okay with him teaching her the martial path sword intent. If she missed out on the spiritual salamander blood today, who knows if she would have another chance in the future. She didn't care about the martial saint image at all.
As expected, what this little girl was most interested in was still pill refining. This made Zong Shou, who was originally looking forward to the couple traveling together, feel really sad.
He also took out 2 drops of silver-white blood, one of which he let Little Gold swallow. As for the other drop, he absorbed it into his palm.
The spiritual salamander blood could increase one's strength and strengthen one's bloodline.
When beasts ate it, they didn't need to do anything and they could awaken the abilities and memories left by their ancestors.
Little Gold was like that. Each time it ate, the changes in its body would increase by a little.
The patterns on its skin became more and more mysterious, like it was a natural spiritual formation. The meridians in its body not only didn't increase, but instead became much simpler. However, the efficiency of the monster power circulation greatly increased. In just a few days, the item mimicking ability had risen by half a grade.
Zong Shou used the spiritual salamander essence blood to strengthen his body as well as comprehend the martial path.
After eating it, he would immediately refine it and use the insight mysterious lightning body training art to train his body.
Unfortunately, this Cang Shengdao's top body training technique focused on one's heart and soul.
Even Zong Shou couldn't split his attention and use it too much. He could only continue to comprehend the maniac lightning sword intent. This matter wasn't considered splitting his attention and instead helped him a lot.
After a few days, his comprehension of this sword intent had also greatly increased. That lightning winged Yang snake also benefited from it. There were a few times when he was ready to make a move and wanted to break through, but he was stopped by the invisible 'Heavenly Barrier'.
After consuming a drop of essence blood, Zong Shou used a full hour to complete it. He only felt that his energy consumption was huge. However, this body training had many improvements to his body.
"In a few more days, I can merge the 7th and 8th earth veins into my body …"
At this moment, his body had already completed the merger of 2 chakra and 3 meridians. With the foundations of his last life, Zong Shou's martial path intent had already reached an extremely high realm. The martial ancestor realm barrier didn't stop him at all. (To be continued.
