Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

At the same time, in the void layers outside of Cloud World.

Lingyun’s Sect leader Wenxu was looking within the Cloud World with a confused expression in his eyes.

At this moment, the outer layer of Cloud World seemed to be a tightly shut iron shell, he was unable to sense anything at all.

He obviously knew that the world was in that direction, however, he wasn’t able to sense anything.

If he did this normally, then this would’ve been natural. But for his spiritual sense to be unable to reach in, it was really quite abnormal.

At this moment, how could the void pillars of the Cloud World which were leaking all over stop his spiritual senses?

Not only couldn’t he see anything that was happening there, he was also unable to sense what was happening on the peak of Mysterious Cloud Mountain.

It seemed like some cultivators worked together to block the world. He looked towards the old man by his side curiously.

After seeing the situation, Dragon Shadow gave out an unhappy cold scoff, “It isn’t me! I don’t have that much skill...”

Wenxu slightly shook his head, he also knew that it was impossible that Dragon Shadow did this. Locking up a world was obviously an End Realm expert’s methods.

He was only suspecting that the person who casted it was related to Dragon Shadow. At this moment while looking on, although the latter had predicted it, his eyes couldn’t help but be filled with surprise and admiration.

They might have been related, but this matter wasn’t intended by Dragon Shadow.

The black veil that covered the world came as fast as it left, in an instant, Cloud World returned back to normal.

Now, Wenxu looked back at the Cloud World. Following which, his eyes were filled with a bitter intent.

At the peak of the Mysterious Cloud Mountain, Shenxiao wasn’t there anymore. Zong Shou held the blood halberd in his hand, standing right on the spot.

Even the 4,200 Blood Cavalry under him were all alive. They weren’t perfectly fine, but all the injuries that they suffered was doable, this was why they were able to maintain constant combat strength.

In the end, they still lost! They lost too badly! It was a complete defeat!

Sighing, Wenxu was already contemplating how to handle post-battle matters. How to defend the foundations of Lingyun Sect.

Backing out of the Donglin Cloud Continent was to be expected. With the Lingyun Sect’s current strength, they wouldn’t be able keep the spiritual veins and the Pill Spirit Mountain.

However, they could try to discuss with the Gantian Monster King to see if there was any chance of reconciliation.

Matters of the world were like this. Since he couldn’t suppress them, then it was best to work together with them.

Luckily, ten thousand years ago, based on what that person did, he could still see a chance of survival for their Lingyun Sect.

“The path of fate?”

Wenxu felt bitter in his mouth, thinking to himself that it was as what he said...

The person who was able to resolve the Luck Word Heaven Talisman would either have already died, won’t appear, or he would be highly talented.

It could cause the Lingyun Sect’s luck to prosper and strengthen their faction. However, he could also personally smash them down into dust!

He always thought that that person was joking and didn’t really care much about it. At the time, the both of them were just small Celestial Realm Peak cultivators, did they really dare to speak about things that would happen ten thousand years later?

Even End Realm experts weren’t omnipotent.

Ten thousand years ago, he already glimpsed a bit of the Heavens and knew that Zong Shou...

That he would be the one to win this bet.

He also found something weird, what exactly happened just now?

Who did Shenxiao die to? The few World Protector Venerables? That End Realm expert? Or was he personally killed by Zong Shou?

If it was Zong Shou, what methods did he use to do it?

Oh... The situation in Cloud World seemed a bit wrong...

Wenxu’s face turned serious, during that moment, he suddenly felt something. He felt that the Cloud World had undergone many changes.

Without hesitation, he spread his spiritual sense over and carefully searched. Moments later, he sucked in a cold breath.

On Dragon Shadow’s side, his speed was much faster than the former, his eyes were filled with an enlightened expression. “Hanyue has fallen! Reaching Saint Realm after 20 thousand years, what a pity...”

Wenxu’s lips twitched, why did it sound like he was gloating no matter how he heard it? It was as if he wasn’t feeling emotional at all.

He also knew and recognized Hanyue. He met her several times before. Ten thousand years ago she stepped into Saint Realm, following which, she could no longer improve her cultivation. Thus, she gave up and turned to protect the world.

Usually, she took great care of Lingyun. However, this girl was another person’s chess piece.

After thinking back to the past, Wenxu knew that today was probably a trap.

Not only was the Dragon Shadow and the Gantian Monster king plotting against their Lingyun Sect. There were also people digging a huge hole for Hanyue to jump in...

“The Common People’s Path, Yuanjing...”

Moments later, he knew who planned this, his expression was really dark and sunken.

What was the point of him finding out now?

Was it the Seven Spirit Sect? Or did Zong Shou have something to do with the Common People’s Path?

His brows rose up as he felt a strength that was a little weaker than him getting close.

...It was Aokun! He didn’t have killing intent, but he might not have the interest to fight with him here!

He couldn’t remain in this place any longer...

After taking in a deep breath, Wenxu planned to leave. He said these words to the Dragon Shadow, “Today, I, Wenxu, have lost! Dragon Shadow, if you don’t want to keep me here then allow me to take my leave...”

Dragon Shadow smiled slightly before he scoffing coldly. Things have already reached this stage and they had already won. He didn’t have any intentions to fight any longer.

It was also because if they fought, he could only keep one out of the three, and it might not be Wenxu.

These dozens of years of life he had left were for his disciple. He should take care of him for as long as possible.

While sighing slightly, he could only think that if he was at the End Realm, would things be so problematic? Unfortunately, his heart knot hadn’t ended and he was still unable to search for that last chance to breakthrough.

Wenxu just looked at his expression and knew that before Aokun arrived, Dragon Shadow wouldn’t stop him. However, at this moment, he was also unable to laugh. “Since this is the case, then I will make a move first. If I offended you today I will explain it to you in the future!”

As for whether the explanation was him admitting his mistakes or ending debts, that would depend on the future.

When these words were said, Wenxu stepped on the broken pieces of the void to leave. The two auras were also swiftly disappearing.

Only Dragon Shadow mocked himself in disdain, “What a cunning kid, actually not showing any signs of weakness!”

“If he wasn’t cunning, then how could the Lingyun Sect go from a late-rising sect to the top shrine?”

The person who spoke just now was Aokun. He stepped out into the void with his hands at his back, a weird expression was on his face. “I remember that this person was a junior in front of me long ago. Amongst the same generation, he wasn’t all that much. Who knew that ten thousand years would pass and he would have such achievements. After hearing about his past, I could only feel respectful...”

Dragon Shadow was annoyed at him. “You came too late!”

“I had to be late!”

Aokun smiled, after reaching out, 12 spiritual lights appeared in front of him.

“Chase these items! After letting Shenxiao go and letting Yuanjing kill Hanyue, I also need to receive some benefits. Now, I finally have a decent body-protecting item...”

The Dragon Shadow Old Man’s face was even uglier. However, Aokun acted like he didn’t see it and continued, “Anyways, we can’t fight. Are you really planning to waste the last few decades of your life here?”

Dragon Shadow was furious, unwilling to argue with his old friend and was about to leave.

At this moment, Aokun smiled. “Oh right! I forgot something. Your disciple asked me to tell you this. He said that he comprehended the true merger of the Nine Dragon Shadow Sword. He wants you to wait a moment before leaving to meet with him. Maybe you can comprehend something...”

Dragon Shadow burst out into a laugh when he heard this. “What big words! As a Saint Realm, how could something I hadn’t comprehend in ten thousand years be easily solved? What arrogant words!”

Thinking back to what Aokun said about Zong Shou’s Dharma Soul, he was solemn. “His Endless Darkness and Unlimited Light isn’t bad. In the future, he needs to think of a way to perfect it. However, if he used this Dharma to comprehend the Nine Dragon Shadow Sword, it wouldn’t be too beneficial!”

Aokun acknowledged, lovingly playing the jade letter in his hand while saying casually, “Zong Shou said that Senior Brother would say this. He also said that he had the fortune to witness the Core of The Absolute Beginning...”

“The Absolute Beginning?”

Dragon Shadow was startled, half a moment later, he came back to his senses. “He saw the Absolute Beginning? Then why isn’t he dead?”

Following which, he felt that this sentence sounded quite wrong. He coughed,”People like me can’t live in front of the Absolute Beginning, so how could he achieve what I cannot do? Even if he managed to see it, he shouldn’t be able to remember it! Much less comprehend something of this matter!”

His words were filled with many questions. Following after, Dragon Shadow remembered just now that Zong Shou’s lifespan suffered heavy losses, he only had less than a hundred years left worth of lifespan.

He thought that this kid used a secret technique to exchange lifespan as a price to raise his strength quickly.

He looked at the fellow again and found that his strength was really firm. At most, in just a few more years, he would reach peak grade-9.

Even the Heaven Barrier wouldn’t be able to stop him, this was why he resisted to scold him.

However, after hearing what Aokun said, it seemed like the situation wasn’t like he expected.

Burning lifespan to raise intellect... He knew that there were numerous people in the world that were good at this method.

After slightly excluding many possibilities, the Dragon Shadow thought about a possibility. Following which, he exclaimed in disbelief.

“The Core of The Absolute Beginning! If it’s that item, then with his realm, he can witness it. Aokun, are you joking with me? He found the World Viewing Instrument? That godly treasure of the Mohists that disappeared to someplace?”

“Do you think I would joke like this?”

Aokun kept the 12 jade letters. His face was filled with a teasing expression. “So, Dragon Shadow! You aren’t going to leave!”

He gritted his teeth, almost smashing it. “Why didn’t you say it earlier?”

“I simply forgot!” Aokun smiled, not feeling guilty at all. “Oh right, Zong Shou also mentioned that he had no memories regarding it and gained decent comprehension. However, he recorded down the most initial portion...”

Whilst he said this, he looked towards Dragon Shadow. His eyes were filled with happiness. After looking at the old man, his dejected expression was mostly gone. Although he wasn’t really pumped up, but he was still filled with anticipation and excitement.

“It’s good that he remembered! To comprehend it, he would need to be Celestial Realm and above!”

Dragon Shadow scoffed as he said this before glancing at Aokun. For some reason, he had an urge to kick this person to death.
