Chapter 632: Nonsense

The few of them settled the matter with a few words.

Wuji and the Demon Path Cultivator had no more intentions to stay as they each left hurriedly.

At this moment, they had shown their intentions. Although both of them had power in their factions, they couldn’t decide such a matter and had to ask permission from their sects.

Anyway, Zong Shou didn’t have much hope in the men from the two Vast Habitats. He would be satisfied if they could just loan some Mind Stones.

At this moment, what he found weird was what Zifang had said just now.

He always heard Buddhist Faction disciples talk about the ancient original Buddha.

Where did this endless beginning come from? Did the Buddhist faction have yet another Buddha materialize?

It wasn’t something he could ask and he could only mutter to himself.

Moments later, there were only three people in the clouds.

Zifang spoke up once more, “I heard Jingyin say that you wanted to invite our Buddhist Monks to help purify the Avici Throne?”

Seeing Zong Shou nod his head to express that there was indeed such a matter, Zifang instantly laughed, “Ruler is really merciful and meritorious! To think those 6 Country Imperial Races 10,000 years ago could meet such a Ruler like you 10,000 years on…”

He said a bunch of nonsense to praise Zong Shou. First, his tone seemed hesitant but then he said embarra.s.singly, “I heard that Zhao Yanran and Ruler are connected by the Pill Furnace technique? So the life and death of this woman would be determined by just one of your thoughts?”

When he heard this, Zong Shou roughly guessed what he meant. This should be the conditions from Ten Thousand Buddha Vast Habitat.

“So what Great Monk wants is for me to return her the seed?”

“That’s right!” Zifang smiled and nodded his head, “This woman is largely connected to the rise and fall of Buddhism.”

Zong Shou smiled, he didn’t have much thought about this matter. Thinking about it, the feeling of Zhao Yanran becoming a nun was really good, he was really antic.i.p.ating it…

“If your Sect can persuade her and Seven Spirit Sect is pleased, then naturally I can return it. I have always been honest and have never gone against my words.”

Zifang heaved a sigh of relief, he then got up and bowed, “Then I will take my leave now.”

Like he was extremely eager, with a flash he tore open the s.p.a.ce and was nowhere to be seen.

After this person left, only the Sword Sect person was left.

Zong Shou looked over with a questioning gaze, not understanding what matter he had. At this moment he also opened his eyes, bright light s.h.i.+ning around.

Like a treasure sword out of its sheath, the aura was extremely sharp.

“I am Lingchen.”

“Lingchen?”

Zong Shou was shocked, bowing slightly and greeting, “So Sword Sect Mountain head personally came over, I apologize for the lack of respect.”

A Vast Habitat could be compared to a country. Although Gantian Mountian had some strength now, it was far from being able to be compared to them.

This person’s ident.i.ty did give him the rights to be on the same level as him.

No wonder he was so confident…

Since this person spoke and personally gave his promise that Sword Sect would help, then this matter was most probably settled.

Lingchen was solemn and looked over, “I came over, one reason was for the Book and the other to thank you. On behalf of Yin Dragon Canyon, I want to thank you for helping both my disciples. The third reason is I wanted to ask Ruler, is your Gantian Mountain really following the methods of the Common People Path? Do you really believe Xi Zi’s methods are feasible?”

The moment he said this, a sharp energy stabbed right at Zong Shou’s mind.

Zong Shou’s eyebrows rose, as expected from the Sword Mountain Head. He was unhappy, but he knew that this person asked this because he knew that he was Tanqiu.

What he hated most was being threatened by others which instantly made him feel annoyed. A sharp energy suddenly rose to counter him. He coldly replied, “If I say yes, what will Mountain Head do?”

Lingchen’s brow furrowed, seemingly noticing that his tone and att.i.tude was a little too much. He calmed down, “I don’t have any other meaning, I just wanted to ask what Ruler himself thought?”

Only then did Zong Shou calm down. Following this, he looked into the distance in shock. Was it really so preposterous of Xi Zi to want everyone to be equal?

A swallow streaked across the air into the distance. Zong Shou flicked his fingers and an energy spat out.

In the blink of an eye, the innocent bird was ripped into blood and dust.

“In this world, the one who adapts survives. I heard 30,000 years ago the beasts in the Cloud Desolate Era were all huge. But what happened now? The strong can bully the weak and there is wealth inequality. If there is no system to restrict power how can we have fairness? Like that swallow, it didn’t offend me but with just one thought of mine, it died. The billion people of Donglin, aren’t their deaths also at the mercy of our thoughts?”

Zong Shou mocked himself, “Gantian Mountain’s policy is because of me. If I wasn’t here, it probably wouldn’t exist. Many things are just futile unless one couldn’t cultivate martial arts and train the soul…”

Lingchen was stunned, he didn’t expect that he would hear such an answer.

Then, he laughed and stood up, “Incoherent, this makes no sense!”

However, his face seemed to understand.

Just as he was about to leave, Zong Shou laughed and asked, “Mountain Head Ling, does your Sword Sect want to open a few dojos and schools in my Gantian?”

Lingchen’s body paused. He knew that the current Gantian Mountain was filled with a martial atmosphere. In the city, there were probably a thousand dojos of all kinds?

Within the city there were numerous experts gathered.

However, he didn’t care about that, “Ruler doesn’t reject sects?”

The many Emperors of the Cloud World all saw the sects as their enemies, the thieves of the country, people who caused chaos. They not only often attacked them but also reduced their effects on the common people.

However, Zong Shou was doing the total opposite which was unheard of.

Lingyun Sect was destroyed and 70% of the Donglin Sects and Factions were either wiped out or chased away.

“Why should I?”

Zong Shou didn’t understand, “As long as they pay taxes and follow rules why can’t I accept them?”

Lingchen was stunned once more. This was the first time he felt that this Gantian Ruler was really different.

※※※※

After coming down from the clouds, Zong Shou eagerly entered seclusion.

It was at this moment that he found out from Ruoshui that Kong Yao’s father had arrived in Rainbow City. He would probably arrive in 1-2 days.

He didn’t worry too much about it, bringing him over was to restrict her. After he returned, he would ask Renbo to randomly find a spot for this Country Father-in-Law to live.

However, Ruoshui’s next sentence made him frown.

“He wants to meet me? And says he wants to thank me? Is it that King Rui?”

He felt really weird. He s.n.a.t.c.hed her daughter over and treated his nephew like that. He should hate him to death, what kindness?

He instantly hesitated, would it be he wanted to spit in his face and fight him to the death?

He was a little ashamed for not being righteous. He wasn’t unable to be like those ancient lords who could do immoral things without batting an eye.

Thinking about it, it was better not to meet.

Just as he was about to reject, Ruoshui frowned, “I have sent someone to investigate Concubine Kong’s father.”

Whilst speaking, she handed a letter over.

At first, Zong Shou didn’t bother but when his Spiritual Senses read the information, his mouth was gaping wide open.

He didn’t expect that her father would actually be so famous.

The previous supervisor of the Directorate of Astronomy and Calendar, publicly known to be only below Zhongxuan in terms of divination.

He was actually such an amazing person…

Turning around, Zong Shou saw Ruoshui blinking and looking at him.

Although she didn’t speak, but those black and white eyes were obviously telling him that it was better to meet him…

As for divination techniques, he didn’t believe much in it.

However, since he was so famous, he couldn’t neglect him. No matter what, he was a talent and it was better to meet.

Taking in a deep breath, Zong Shou rubbed his temples in pain, “Then let me meet him in seven days. In these seven days, I need to go into secluded meditation. You can allow him to meet Kong Yao! However you need to accompany…”

It wasn’t to monitor him, the pair had already fallen into his hands and couldn’t jump out. He wanted to let her find out what were the opinions and thoughts of Kong Rui.

Zong Shou made his mind up that if there was anything not right he would shelve this person for a period of time in case it became awkward.

Apart from Kong Rui, there wasn’t any other matter. Zong Shou once again stepped into the cultivation room.

He first took out the 8 Merit Pearls and threw them at Xiaori. Only to see the Xiaori not consume them but controlling them in mid-air, allowing them to spin around, dazzling him. Then, Little Gold also ran out to s.n.a.t.c.h the Merit Pearls, turning into Hanxi and flying about. It made Xiaori really anxious, chasing him all around.

Zong Shou was speechless. So that fellow treated the Merit Pearls as a toy. What a waste of his thousand mind stones…

Shaking his head, Zong Shou took out the porcelain bottle.

After opening it, he used his soul power and instantly a blue light shot out. It was a blue crystal.

This thing was known as Light Containing Sand. In this dim room, it was extremely bright, lighting the thousand-foot room such that everything could be seen.

Zong Shou’s eyes were filled with deep thought.

It really was this item! In terms of value, it could be compared to 300 Grade-9 Mind Stones.

However, it was an item with a price but no supply. The effects were similar to the Spirit Essence Jade Marrow, allowing one to obtain Spirit Realm Cultivator strength in advance.

This Sky Demon Vast Habitat probably knew about his barriers from Heaven.

The actions were both trying to express their good intentions whilst also to threaten him.

Also, there were the 5 Veins that Wuji gave him which were a little weird. Since the Sky Demon Sect knew, then there was no reason the Daoling Vast Habitat didn’t. They just needed to ask Lingyun Sect about it.

No wonder Wuji’s att.i.tude today was so weird. This Huizhou Island matter was really suspicious…
