Divine Brilliance

Chapter 553: Like A Clown

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Central Continent, inside imperial capital Fenghua Palace. The yellow robe old man looked at the atlas in front of him, his lips smiling coldly.

“Speaking of which, Lingyun Sect had already created a trap on Mysterious Cloud Mountain and that Zong Shou had already willingly jumped in because of his fiancé? Who knew that this Gantian Mountain Monster King Zong Shou would be such a passionate person? It seems like he doesn’t look like a person who would amount to much...”

He had a teasing tone, the few servants waiting at the side all lowered their heads, not daring to speak.

The old man’s tone changed, “What does Grand Commandant think?”

At this moment, on the seat next to him, sat one more person. He had a head full of white hair, a dried-up face; looking really old. However, his bones were really huge, just by sitting down, he gave out a tiger aura which was hard for the people around to take. He didn’t think much before saying, “Seven big sects working together to wipe out one small country, this Lingyun Sect really is generous! These sects and aristocratic families aren’t afraid of kings nor the heaven path, what a messed up bunch of people! If it was not for this group of people, the Cloud World would have been unified, much less be as chaotic as it is now.”

As he said that, his tone became cold and dark,” However this Gantian Mountain isn’t any better, it really is unreasonable and barbaric! To actually lock up Great Shang ambassadors, how bold! In my eyes these two sides are just dog biting dogs, not worth Your Majesty wasting effort!”

That yellow robe old man frowned, this wasn’t what he wanted to hear.

The grand commandant was helpless, in the end he shook his head, “Your Majesty! Although those two large sized mind stone veins are good, sects and aristocratic families are interfering with Cloud World matters. This precedence can’t be easily broken. Furthermore, it is so far away, the risk is really too big...”

“You also said the same!”

The old man sighed as he heard that. “I also know this theory but just thinking about how these two veins will fall into the hands of those sects, that their cultivator’s powers would grow; I feel really worried. Forget it! Take a look at this...”

Whilst he said that, the old man handed a document,

“Grand Commandant’s guess is correct!”

The yellow robed old man was smiling with deep meaning, “What I only like the most is such ambitious people. What I want is his unwillingness to yield. What does Grand Commandant think?”

“That is feasible! Your majesty can list him as the owner of Donglin!”

The Grand Commandant nodded his head, his eyes shining coldly, “After Gantian Mountain falls, Donglin Sects would definitely turn against Longxiang Mountain to defend against them in order to maintain the chaos in Donglin. If this person wants to achieve something under the suppression of Lingyun Sect, he needs to depend on our Great Shang. Why not let us stir the waters even more! Using these people we could interfere in Donglin matters...”

The emperor robed old man laughed out loud,”These words are exactly what I want. Doesn’t that Lingyun Sect want chaos? Then I want to appoint an owner of Donglin, to let this Yangfan have proper status! If these sects dare to directly interfere, then I won’t mind sending troops to attack their Cloud Palace!”

That last sentence was filled with killing intent. Between the two of them, they only treated like Zong Shou and Gantian Mountain didn’t exist anymore.

....Leading just seventy thousand cavalries to head into the trap laid out by many sects, that small Monster King had no chance to survive at all.

“Naturally we can’t allow that Lingyun Sect to be arrogant!”

The Grand Commandant nodded his head, “However we also need to be careful about this Yangfan! This person is cunning and won’t be easily controlled. This Subject thinks Your Majesty should use him and defend against him...”

“Those are wise words, I will take note!”

Whilst he said that, the old man carefully wrote down the name Yangfan on a golden book. The words were really neat and brilliantly written.

Following which he added several announcement papers filled with words and a few documents into the book.

Then he walked to the nearby bookshelf and looked at the other book which wrote the name Zong Shou. He couldn’t help but sigh, “This kid is smart, ruling for less than three years and had the strength to unify Donglin. To fall so early like this, it is indeed a waste! A lone tree in the wind will be crushed, this kid fell because he didn’t know how to retract his shrine. He made too many enemies, the timing isn’t right either...”

Just as he was about to take down the book, suddenly a sharp voice spread out at the door, “Your Highness, the Grand Teacher has arrived and wishes to meet you!”

The old man turned around, only to see internal affairs junior supervisor Gaoruo standing outside. His face for some reason was filled with helplessness.

“Grand Teacher? Zhongxuan?”

Great Shang had three grand teachers, 1 Buddhist, and 2 Daoists. However only Zhongxuan was trusted by him.

“It is Zhongxuan!”

Outside the door there was a loud reply, only to see a daoist robed middle-aged man stepping into the reading room. His red date like face was filled with pride.

“Please forgive this Subject for being rude, only because this matter is too urgent which was why I headed over...”

The yellow robed old man was startled, his expression slowly turned serious, “It is okay! What matters is it that caused Grand Teacher to be so anxious?”

He knew that although Zhongxuan had high cultivation and had spiritual cultivation incomparable to others, he always followed the rules. Today something really occurred.

Zhongxuan’s face was filled with cold seriousness as he exhaled, “An hour ago, I was viewing the phenomenons at the stargazing tower. Suddenly I felt the luck on the east gather, a dragon energy surging upwards like they were all forming up. It was like the luck of the entire continent had already gathered on the body of one person. Your Majesty, what does that mean?”

The old man was out of sorts once more, he had read and seen many daoist books, naturally, he knew what this meant.

“The dragon energy of a continent gathered on one person? The true dragon energy has gathered?”

Forcefully smiling, the Grand Commandant’s face was half believing and half disbelieved, “Did Grand Teacher see it wrongly? Currently, Donglin Cloud Continent is in chaos, how would there be a true dragon?”

“In the beginning, Zhongxuan also thought that I saw it wrongly. After I confirmed it several times, I then rushed over!”

He looked closely at that Grand Commandant, Zhongxuan also had a doubtful expression, “Actually I don’t understand, Donglin Cloud Continent doesn’t have anyone who could unify Donglin Cloud Continent. Even if there is, with the many sects suppressing, it would be tough to form a true dragon. This thing is really tough to understand, this is really unimaginable...”

The yellow robed old man silently thought to himself, following which he heard Zhongxuan mention once more, his tone even darker, “If it was only that, I wouldn’t have rushed over here. I only felt that the changes in Donglin are really closely related to our Great Shang! We have a chance to rise up but also a chance to fall. I can’t see through it clearly, it is weird. Weird!”

When the old man and the Grand Commandant heard the words ‘closely related’, his eyes were filled with killing intent. Only until he heard the last word did he calm down. Then his brows furrowed even more.

If he didn’t know that Zhongxuan was good at destiny and fate techniques as well as never said anything out of hand and never randomly saying anything, he would have thought that the Grand Teacher was playing them.

A chance to rise up but also a chance to fall? What did that mean?

Coincidentally at this moment, a purple gold talisman fell from afar and stopped at the side of the room.

The yellow robed old man exclaimed, taking the talisman. Moments later his face was ashen white.

Who knows how long after did he come to his senses, only to see Zhongxuan and the Grand Commandant looking over in a confused manner.

The old man frowned expressionlessly, burning up the talisman into ashes. Following which he said flatly, “It is news from Donglin Cloud Continent! That Gantian Zong Shou had rebuilt the ancient Blood Cloud Cavalry. He also used the Fuling Sect pinnacle space dome formation to lock a hundred miles around Mysterious Cloud Mountain. With just four thousand people he destroyed the millions of troops below. Now he had raised the blood kill twin flags to trample over Mysterious Cloud Spirit Sect!”

Within the hall, it was instantly dead silent. Only where the Grand Commandant sat was there a heavy breaking sound as the entire seat was completely smashed into pieces. His pupils constricted into that of a pin shape. Blood Cloud Cavalry? The Blood Cavalry Kill Heart Sutra was even tougher to find.

Zhongxuan’s eyes were filled with enlightenment however it was more filled with a bitter intent.

He finally understood why the luck of a continent would gather on a person. How Donglin Cloud Continent could gather true dragon energy.

“So that was the case! No wonder the heaven phenomenon would change! Using the pinnacle space dome formation to lockdown, this Monster King really plans to wipe them all out...”

Zhongxuan sigh as he bowed slightly. “Your Majesty! Before our Great Shang has dao soldiers to fight against Blood Cloud Cavalry, we can’t be enemies with Gantian Mountain! With four thousand of them, it is enough to go up against Haoxuan sect...”

The emperor robed old man was silent and didn’t speak. His eyes were filled with jealousy, worry, envy and also a little fear. As he took in a deep breath he had an idea, looking out at the distant sky. A weird spiritual energy fluctuation spread out from afar.

Tens of thousands of miles away. However even he felt terrified.

“Grand teacher? What is this sign of?”

Zhongxuan frowned, following which he sighed, “A god realm expert fell on Mysterious Cloud Mountain! If I am not wrong, it should be that third generation ancestor of the Mysterious Cloud Spirit sect...”

Even he was just a god realm cultivator.

The yellow robed old man stopped hesitating, smashing the golden book with the words Yangfan into pieces!

He then shifted the book with Zong Shou’s name to the front and placed it in the third spot.

What a Zong Shou! Looking at how Yangfan was trying to plot at these people, how amusing! He was really like a clown...
