“I remember that the Qilins beside the three ancient Saint Emperors were all different. Legend had it that the first one was a true terra Qilin. However, what was weird was that everyone said that this person inherited the Earth virtue of the Heaven and Earth and became the emperor of the Cloud World. Following which each Saint Emperor, the Qilin they had along with them were compatible with their luck…” ”

When he said that, Tanqiu’s face was totally weird, her tone was more and more certain, “It is like spiritual beasts like the Qilin are connected to the fate of Heaven and Earth. Who knows, maybe this little fellow was born by the Heaven and Earth due to you.”

“Is it regarding the five virtues, the end and beginning?”

Zong Shou broke out into a laugh, “Speaking of which, I obtained the fire virtue? The fire is intense and it was said that it could burn everything. It is really similar to that of the Great Han Emperor.”

In his heart, he didn’t mind much. He always didn’t pay much attention to such superst.i.tious and supernatural matters.

“Who knows?”

Tanqiu could obviously tell that Zong Shou had no sincerity at all and didn’t believe what he had to say.

Her lips curled up as he stopped talking about this matter, “Forget it! I am going to leave. You have raised this Xue’er well. However, following you is a waste of her combat martial body talents! It isn’t as good as following me…”

Her tone was one of asking but he wasn’t to be declined.

Zong Shou had no intention to decline, instead, he felt delighted for Chuxue instead. To be able to be personally taught by a Saint Realm expert was luck ama.s.sed from several lifetimes.

He felt slightly weird, “Didn’t Senior Master come for that Book of Universe? Are you going to leave just like that?”

Tanqiu burst out into a laugh, “I even didn’t even s.n.a.t.c.h the Book of Eon on you, why would I bother about this Book of Universe without knowing if its true or false?”

Following which his expression dimmed, “My path foundations are already set, even if I had it, it would be useless. After I looked at it, it would mess up my Heart Realm. On the contrary, two days have already pa.s.sed, if you don’t rush over, the Avici Throne and purple pill are going to fall into the hands of others…”

Following which she didn’t intend to speak any more, carrying Chuxue and was about to leave.

Then Zong Shou laughed, like he had something awkward to say, “Senior Master, what happened that day on Mysterious Cloud Mountain? That day was really dangerous, if I didn’t grasp Spirit and Martial Arts Merger, Black and White Hole Dharma, I would have lost my life. Who was playing tricks and scheming? How annoying!”

Tanqiu instantly cursed out, turning around and shooting a ball of fire over.

Afterwards, she directly left Yin Dragon Canyon and stepped into the air.

Looking at that Tanqiu leave, Zong Shou’s brows frowned. He stood to the spot and was in deep thought.

Auspicious beast? Fire virtue?

He in the past would in fact not bother. However now since he made up his mind to go up against the Lu Family, then he had to care about it.

It was said that red represented fire so when he returned he was going to make all the soldiers in the country change to red armor.

Speaking of which, his Blood Cloud Cavalry was red, that kind of blood-red…

Shaking his head and breaking out into laughter, Zong Shou looked at the item in his hands. This should be the compensation that his Senior Master gave him.

This woman was an elder but she treated him as a chess piece. It was not totally unacceptable but since he did his job, he should be compensated. If he wasn’t compensated, he wouldn’t go all out for them next time. Moreover, if the compensation was bad, that couldn’t be accepted too…

Looking closely, it was a wooden hairpin, the tail portion was a dragonhead. The hairpin body was that of a sword shape, on it was carved the tiny words: Dragon Pattern Sword.

Zong Shou’s brows rose as he casually shook his hand. The wooden hairpin expanded and it was a sword.

Looking at it, it should be a Grade-three magical weapon, its quality was also similar.

He couldn’t help but laugh, he was really getting whatever he wanted. He finally didn’t have to worry about not having a suitable weapon.

To normal Grade-Nine cultivators, it wasn’t impossible to use Magical Artifacts over their Grade.

However, their internal energy and soul power would be sucked dry in just a few strikes.

However, to him, it was really suitable and he didn’t need to worry about not having enough energy to utilize it.

He only hoped that this Dragon Pattern Sword could last longer.

Turning his head, Zong Shou looked towards the corpses of the two Qilin. He casually patted and it caused the Water Qilin to be frozen in a thick layer of ice. Following which he kept both into his Lingjie Ring.

A peak G.o.d Realm Qilin was not only a good material to craft weapons, but it could also be made into Celestial artifacts. Moreover, it’s internal organs could be used to refine pills.

If it was left here, it would be stolen by others in just a few days.

Zong Shou was given benefits from it and didn’t wish that after this water Qilin died, it would end up without a complete corpse.

In the future, if there was a good place, he would let both of them be buried together, to fulfil completing the wishes of the water Qilin.

The Little Dog also noticed. It lost its interest in playing with Little Gold and ran back, looking at Zong Shou.

In this baby Qilin’s world, only this person in front of it had the scent of its father and also having the aura of someone of its race, that it could rely on.

Zong Shou broke out into a smile. When Little Gold returned to his arm, he grabbed the Little Dog and placed it on his shoulder

“Let’s go! Follow me, from today on I ensure that you will be able to eat good food and drink good stuff…”

The Little Dog didn’t understand what it had to say and couldn’t understand human words. However, after it sniffed Zong Shou’s body and took in a deep breath, it showed a drunk expression. It seemed really satisfied, that it just needed to breathe a bit of his aura and it was full. At least it was able to eat to its content.

It had no intentions of remaining behind on the Little Lake.

Zong Shou smiled and suddenly recalled that this dog was probably over ten thousand years ago. Its age was several times older than him.

But why did it still look like a baby, did it not have good p.u.b.erty and growth?

Based on what Tanqiu said, Qilin didn’t eat meat or human food but aura. Without enough food, it would be possible.

He didn’t bother much about it as he drove the sword and rose, slowly leaving.

Once again piercing into the Yin Mist, Zong Shou couldn’t help but scold at how annoying that Tanqiu was.

Before she left, why couldn’t he remind him where that Xiang King’s tomb was?

With her cultivation, she should have already known Yin Dragon Canyon like the back of her fingertips.

If she was willing to advise him one or two sentences, then wouldn’t that save him a lot of effort?

Now he could only search around like a headless fly. He was unable to reach out with spiritual sense or see with his eyes and thus he could only use such a dumb way.

He heard that some G.o.d beasts had something similar to the Heaven eye which could s.h.i.+ne brightly into thousands of worlds, seeing everything.

All spells, all Yin power, vengeful energy, etc which could cut off soul power would be unable to stop them.

If he had that chance, he might need to swallow one of them to obtain that spirit eye magical power.

Travelling forward in the air, a moment later, Zong Shou’s heart jumped and he realised that this s.p.a.ce had already stabilized.

It stopped shaking and unlike the outer area which would for some reason have a switch of s.p.a.ce.

However, the restrictions here became more perfect and if one didn’t notice, one would activate it.

Even after ten thousand years, even someone as strong at him didn’t dare say he could get out safely.

What was shocking was that it didn’t look like a spiritual formation restriction but like a seal.

Many restrictions were targeting the inside, and only a small portion was targeting the outside. It should be defending against the seal here being broken by others.

Zong Shou started to become really careful and not use that Book of Eon Extreme Life. The mind stones in his hand were still thrown out like they were free.

Using the spiritual energy explosion to recognise the effects and places of the restrictions. Some that were unstable were activated.

In just a moment he sensed something, his body tilting and changing another location.

Just like that, he travelled forwards for close to ten minutes before he stopped and landed. Following which he saw a pet.i.te woman looking forward. Without looking closely at her, he knew it was Zhao Yanran.

She focused above on a green colored lotus. It seemed like it was about to bloom, each petal folding outwards.

Each bit that opened, there would be huge amounts of Yin power absorbed like a bottomless whirlpool.

Logically speaking, after it gathered so much vengeful energy and Yin power, the green lotus should be corrupted and dirty.

Looking at its roots, it was indeed really ugly and tough to take in. Many parts were decomposed. The petals were also filled with disgusting patterns and it gave off a scent that made one want to vomit.

However, when it bloomed, that lotus and lotus seed was jade green, a jade-like color to it.

It wasn’t corrupted at all and there was no vengeful energy remaining, everything it had absorbed just then was hidden and totally disappeared…

“What a Three Yin True Lotus. It really came out from the dirt and wasn’t dirtied by it!”

Zong Shou praised, however, he didn’t reach out to take it. Everything was about who came first, this was a good thing but it wasn’t his. Anyways even if Zhao Yanran ate it, she would gain some benefits.

Zhao Yanran was filled with joy and happiness, keeping the petals and seeds.

Eating this lotus could be compared to ten years of internal energy cultivation. It might not be very useful but it could save a lot of cultivation effort from her. If she mashed them up and refined them to pills and let Seven Spirit Sect disciples consume it, they could directly go from Grade-Five to Grade-Six!

Only then she turned her head and asked curiously, “Why are you only here now?”

Following which she sensed that Zong Shou’s current situation was different from when he entered. His aura was more innate and was more deep, totally indiscernible.

Zong Shou didn’t reply, directly asking instead, “Why did you stop here? Did you see Ruo Shui? What happened to Leidong and Jin Buhui?”

“I stopped here because I couldn’t enter!”

Zhao Yanran looked forwards, her eyes filled with helplessness.

“I don’t know about Leidong and Jin Buhui but not long ago I saw Ruoshui enter…”

As for how did Ruoshui enter, Zhao Yanran didn’t mention.

A bad feeling rose in Zong Shou’s heart, Ruoshui?
