Divine Brilliance

Chapter 801: Book of Eon Secret

After Landlord Chen finished, right as he was about to turn around to leave, he suddenly stopped, frowning as he instructed, “Esteemed guest, it is best if you don’t go out there for a few days. Even if you have no choice but to go out, please be really careful!”

Zong Shou was shocked, “I heard that this world has been ruled by Tianfang Guild for close to 3,000 years?”

It was a guild made up of factionless cultivators. The cultivators within basically all came from Tianfang World.

There was originally no living beings existing in this place. However, as the number of cultivators increased, they left many descendants. This world was also really great for cultivation.

Accumulating over months and years, they formed a giant group. They were extremely strong, having several God Realm Experts, even Saint Realm ones who supported them from behind.

Their influence spread out to the hundreds of worlds around and also ensured that this Tianfang World was peaceful.

“The Night Demon Race, Shadow God Race, Shura Emperor Lord, and even your Cloud World Cultivators have been making moves here. This place was already not safe long ago...”

Landlord Chen shook his head and then looked over with a profound expression, “You come from the Cloud World and have such an important identity, you should know the reason!”

Zong Shou was enlightened when he heard this, he entered deep thought.

The Alien Race started moving so early?

Thinking back to the location of this Tianfang World, he understood.

The worlds in the various regions were basically stacked up within the Space River. Strictly speaking, there was no distance and location.

However, when each world was born, they had a connection with one another and thus, some traffic. This was why there were shortcuts and also the World River...

All the worlds were like different sized bubbles squeezed together.

In this outer region, naturally there were so called important focal points.

Tianfang World wasn’t that important, but it was a really good spot to gain a foothold in. If one chose this as the center of control for one’s attack on the Cloud World, it would make things a lot more convenient.

Actually, if he had enough strength to fight and conquer the outer region, he would also have to first get this Tianfang World under his control.

With this place under his control, he could forcefully suppress the dozens of worlds around! This was a place that had to be fought for.

Although Tianfang Guild was strong, the few Alien Races and the factions of the Cloud World were far stronger. In front of these few sides, Tianfang Guild was nothing at all.

If there was no need, they wouldn’t dare to easily offend them. This resulted in the current chaotic state of Tianfang World.

Seeing him understand, Landlord Chen didn’t speak anymore. He brought the Blue Fire Xuan Turtle and headed into the weapon crafting room within.

Zong Shou also made his move, exiting the building. He followed Feishuang and Feihan until they entered a building which was hanging in the air before he stopped.

This was the Celestial Pavilion built by Tianfang Guild for the cultivators of Tianfang World to rent. There were only five and they were built at the best locations in the world. Spiritual Energy and Formations were all really good. There would be cultivators of Tianfang Guild protecting outside. The owner of the Celestial Pavilion would be seen as a VIP which was why it was something that money couldn’t buy.

Zong Shou had asked when he came. Unfortunately, all 5 were already rented out.

Who knew that one of them was in the hands of Feihan and Feishuang. Looking at the situation, they had also been renting it for a long period of time.

He couldn’t help but laugh. He nearly thought that these two brats knew nothing about their current situation.

It seemed like they did it on purpose and acted like they didn’t notice anything.

With Feishuang’s personality, she definitely knew the theory of now showing off one’s wealth. At this moment, she was really showy, renting such a building. She definitely had her reasons.

However, they were a little inexperienced. Although she acted like she was calm and that she wasn’t bothered about anything, her eyes would often flash, looking left and right.

Her sister was so innocent but her brows formed a worried expression.

Speaking of which, that really made sense. The two of them had been through so much trouble, so how could they really be so pure and ignorant as before?

Furthermore, their cultivation really surprised him. They hadn’t met for several years and the girls actually reached Grade-9.

It seemed like their matter wasn’t as simple as just Juelong City.

Thinking about it for a moment, Zong Shou silently sent a talisman to a secluded corner of the street.

This was a Celestial Talisman that he had gotten during the battle with the Taoist Faction during his tribulation when he killed several Celestial Realm Cultivators.

Its effects were really normal, able to control the movement and all commotion within a million feet around.

It was good at hiding people. Even God Realm Experts wouldn’t be aware if they didn’t look carefully.

Zong Shou left the talisman so as to keep track of the sisters.

If they faced danger, he would be able to come over in time to save them.

He looked carefully at the few people in the crowd. He scoffed coldly before taking his leave.

He returned to the Wenqi Building to the small cultivation room that Landlord Chen had prepared for him.

As expected, this place was really a great environment. It might not have as abundant Spiritual Energy as the one that Feihan and Feishuang rented, but the formation here was really exquisite and great. He didn’t need to fear other people spying on him.

Zong Shou observed that the detail in the formation was even above that of the 5 Celestial Pavilions.

He tried to send his Spiritual Sense in, only to see that the restrictions were closely packed with one another. Layers and stacks, who knows how many were there? It was actually an endless cycle that didn’t seem to end.

Even if one forcefully broke in, one would get lost inside.

“Where did this Landlord Chen come from? He is really extraordinary. If he personally did this, then I probably underestimated his formation ability...”

Shaking his head, Zong Shou took out a set of flags and placed it around.

There were seventy two of them, split into red, yellow, black and white. It was called the Heaven and Earth Flag Formation.

This was given by Kong Rui. Based on what he said, it was given by the Kong Family ancestors. During the Cloud Desolate Era, it was even famous for a period of time.

In the end, it was damaged and placed in storage. Before he was removed from his position, he had been studying to try to recover it back to normal.

After all those changes, he smoothly brought it over to Gantian Mountain.

The strength of the formation depends solely on the one who uses it. If Zong Shou cast it, not only did it have the ability to defend against Celestial Realm Cultivators, it would be able to cut off the Spiritual Sense of God Realm Experts.

It could even gain him some reaction time against Saint Realm people.

One had to defend against people. He had met that person for the first time, so he couldn’t really trust him.

Although the formation was good, it was tough to say if the owner of this place had installed any back doors within it.

He would really be a joke if he didn’t defend.

Since it concerned the Book of Eon, then he had to be even more careful and couldn’t be careless at all.

Placing the formation out, Zong Shou sat in the middle, taking the Book of Eon out and putting it in front of his body.

Before this, he had already read to the third page of this book.

Since his lifespan wasn’t long enough, he wasn’t willing to flip to the fourth page.

After the tribulation, his lifespan had increased by a full 1,600 years.

Unfortunately, due to him being busy accompanying Yiren and memorizing books in Common People’s Path, he didn’t have much time.

Only now was he a little more free.

Taking in a deep breath, Zong Shou flipped open the book until his hand touched the fourth page.

He instantly felt an explosive pain within his mind.

Numerous runes and Spiritual Talismans charged into his Soul Ocean.

He could sense that the life force within his body was being consumed bit by bit.

“300 years of lifespan? Tsk! If one’s lifespan was a little shorter or one’s talents were a little weaker, one really couldn’t use such a book...”

He scoffed coldly. Without any hesitation, the fourth page was flipped open.

Following this, his soul felt a loud explosion as his entire Soul Ocean started to shake.

Those stars shook, the 18 Spiritual Talismans also moved. Even the Black and White Holes occasionally twisted.

The intense pain caused him to nearly scream out. His body didn’t feel much, but his soul felt like someone had used a sharp weapon and sliced it into a million pieces.

Only after two hours did these changes stabilize.

Zong Shou was panting within the room. His face was covered in bean-sized sweat beads, his eyes filled with pain and bitterness.

He only felt that his body had never felt so weak before, like he found it tough to even raise up an arm of his.

At this moment, even a kid who had a sharp weapon, would be able to kill him.

Actually the stamina, Vital Energy and Soul Power in his body weren’t affected. However, this weakness that came from the depths of his heart was so real.

To consume 300 years of lifespan in a moment caused his entire body to become extremely exhausted.

At that moment, Zong Shou actually feared the Book of Eon and didn’t dare to touch it.

However, moments later, numerous runes appeared in his Soul Ocean, bringing with them a lot of Essence Souls and fluctuations.

Zong Shou looked closely and knew that it was connected to Time and Life Dao. The fourth page of the Book of Eon was all in his memory.

He only felt that his mind was filled up. Just thinking about it, not pondering seriously and there would already be numerous runes which appeared.

He instantly understood that if he didn’t fully digest everything within this fourth page, then he wouldn’t have any energy to do anything else.

“What a book! The pages actually not only wrote about Time and Life Daos. They actually have everything. This fourth page alone can be compared to a book depository of Common People’s Path...”

All of it was practical for Spirit Master Cultivation. None of it was useless at all.

There was a complete Heart Technique, if one cultivated based on it, one could easily grasp the Time Dao.

“It was said that the two books were already here when the region was opened up. However, looking at the details within, it might not be the case. Or maybe it really is a natural treasure. However, there are man made marks. If it is as I expected, did this person enter the True Realm?”

Zong Shou didn’t hesitate as he grabbed a bunch of Mind Stones and started to accelerate the time.

However, this time he consumed one Grade-9 Mind Stone in just 3 days.

“Before this, a single Huang-Grade Grade-9 Mind Stone could be used for 10 days, it is a third shorter now...”

Zong Shou frowned and continued. After his strength rose, such Low-Grade Mind Stones were really useless. However, it was still within what he could afford.
