Chapter 512: Collecting The Dragon Pellet

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

“What luck! It’s actually a high-grade Celestial Realm Wanxiang Core.”

Wanxiang itself when it was still alive did not have a fixed core, it would change into many different things.

Only when it died would its core solidify. However, it wasn’t as stable and hard as normal beast crystals, instead, it would feel a little like how tree sap felt like when it became solid.

At this moment, Zong Shou could already confirm that what was in front of him was definitely left behind by a celestial beast grade Wanxiang.

He felt an anxious craving on Little Gold’s side.

However, Zong Shou himself was also filled with surprise, he could only take in a deep breath and forcefully suppress it.

“Little fellow stop being so impulsive!”

He patted Little Gold’s head before he finally glanced carefully at the situation within the hall.

Just by analyzing the spiritual formation restrictions within, Zong Shou understood something.

He didn’t hesitate and started to take big steps within.

The moment he entered, the door behind him automatically closed. In front of him was a blurred image of a person, it started to solidify as it slowly looked more like him.

As expected, since it was the core of the God Beast Wanxiang, then the test here would have had something to do with the Wanxiang’s changing ability.

What he had to face was most probably a mock projection of himself.

After waiting quietly, the features of the lookalike in front of him became more and more clear. When it was just about to be completed, it abruptly stopped.

Zong Shou’s face was in a state of shock as he looked at the replicated version of himself. It was twisting and collapsing as it tried to form into a proper image once more.

“It can’t be replicated? How is that possible?”

After looking carefully at the spiritual formation restrictions in the hall, he saw that there weren’t any weaknesses with them.

However, even after over ten tries, the image was still chaotic, as a result, the spiritual formation was also slowly collapsing.

Zong Shou frowned, following after, he remembered that his body was temporarily unable to restrict the aura of the Absolute Beginning. Another thing would probably be the ball of blue light in the core of his soul.

If it was as he expected, then the reason why the spiritual formation was unable to successfully replicate him had to do with these two.

If it was a real Wanxiang here, then it would probably have stopped the moment it felt something wrong. However, this spiritual formation had no thinking ability at all although it used the Wanxiang Core as the base of the formation.

A few moments later, the blurred out image in front of Zong Shou had now disappeared. Only a few remnants of the spiritual formation remained.

Zong Shou was speechless at this point. To think that he prepared himself carefully for a proper test… Who knew that this test would be so easy for him?

He casually reached out his hand. The Wanxiang Core which had lost its protection entered his grasp. The moment he carefully looked at it, Little Gold had already eagerly spread upwards to swallow the core.

Following this, its body turned into a ball and then condensed into a bundle.

Zong Shou broke out into a smile and tossed him into the spiritual beast bag.

It wasn’t easy to digest a Celestial Realm Core without waiting at least 3-5 months. Even the outer layer wouldn’t be easily broken through. This little thing would probably need to go into a deep sleep for a long period of time.

Zong Shou turned around and left to continue his search. At this moment, there were a few more people who entered this space.

Zong Yuan was also amongst them, this made Zong Shou slightly shocked. Who knows how he passed through the 5th stage’s starlight formation?

He seemed to be focused on searching for something, seeing that it wasn’t convenient to head over, he just bowed from afar. Zong Shou looked over and remained indifferent.

Time wasn’t enough here and even one breath was important. This wasn’t the time to be talking with one another.

Zong Shou was currently now searching the 4,320th stone hall, upon seeing what was inside, his heart finally relaxed. His eyes lit up as he didn’t hesitate to walk in.

Within the stone hall was the God Realm Dragon Pellet. It was darkish golden yellow and hung in mid-air, the pellet gave off an eye-piercing light even though it was only the size of a charcoal briquette. On its surface, there was a mysterious looking rune that shone constantly.

When the spiritual light dissipated, it would seem to have a Dragon Shadow roaming within.

Once Zong Shou stepped into the hall, he instantly felt a vast dragon aura descend down on him.

With each step he took, he would feel the pressure get a little heavier.

“Was this test to go up against the pressure of a God Realm True Dragon?”

He knew that the God Realm True Dragon wasn’t present. However, its remnant power was left on the Dragon Pellet. It was still extremely domineering and strong, the aura left behind was awe-striking.

“Legend has it that the Dragon Race is the king of all beasts. Its bloodline could suppress many races. They also said that each of the nine types of true dragons would represent a path of the Heaven and Earth. After the End Realm, they could even be considered as a part of the path. Such words truly weren’t exaggerated…”

Zong Shou clenched his fists as he could clearly feel that this Dragon Pellet actually split up and separated all the metal element’s spiritual energy in the area. This caused the spiritual energy connection with him to be completely cut off!

He coldly scoffed as he continued to step forward, his strong Martial Path Intent also charged up.

Out of all his Sword Intents, the one he had the deepest comprehension in was the Nine Dragon Shadow Sword. That day in Dragon Gathering Mountain, he had comprehended it to the middle of the Sword Soul Realm!

Now that he viewed the scene of the Absolute Beginning, it seemed to have made some improvement.

At this moment, he went all out, there seemed to be Nine Dragon Shadows appearing right behind Zong Shou.

After each step he took, one Dragon Shadow would become real.

… Different kinds of dragons would slowly surface; Platinum Dragon, Green Wood Dragon, Lightning Dragon, Mysterious Yin Dragon, Blazing Fire Dragon, Instance Space Dragon, Yellow Dragon, and the Ice Horned Dragon.

Each dragon shape would undergo an illusionary image before finally forming into a real body, it would then roar and circle around him.

The Sword Shadow on his body also became more condensed.

Even as he went up against the Dragon Aura, he was at no disadvantage. However, his body didn’t seem to be able to take it and would occasionally split apart with shocking wounds. But Zong Shou wouldn’t bother about it at all. It was as if the wounds weren’t harming his own body.

When the Nine Dragon Shadows had all gathered together, they formed into a sword shape, with this, Zong Shou took one final step and stood in front of the Dragon Pellet.

With the strength of the sword, he took the upper hand. His Nine Dragon Sword Intent had actually suppressed the Dragon Aura by a grade!

With the same indifferent face as always, he looked towards the Dragon Pellet whose color had become dimmer. Zong Shou pointed out with his finger and the entire formation dissipated and collapsed.

When the Dragon Pellet lost its connection, it turned into a golden light as it flew towards the hall door.

“A dead thing, where do you think you’re flying towards?”

Zong Shou used his soul power to reach out and restrict the Dragon Pellet. However, it was still struggling and seemed to be at a standstill with his soul power.

Zong Shou used his Sword Intent once more to suppress it, once he had done so, he shot out some talismans. He finally bound the God Realm Dragon Pellet and kept it into his sleeves.

When he walked out of the hall, Zong Shou frowned upon checking his body’s state.

He was covered with blood and wounds. Even if he consumed several grade-8 spiritual pills, he still wouldn’t be able to heal them.

However, this was all only judged from the surface. Within him, the injuries sustained by his internal organs were a little worse. All of them were forced by the pressure he sustained in the hall and changed in shape, they seemed to nearly tear and break apart.

However, these injuries weren’t because of the Dragon Aura’s pressure, but they were because his body itself couldn’t carry the Sword Soul Level’s Martial Path Intent’s pressure, this had ultimately caused his internal injuries.

“As expected… This would happen if the Internal Aura isn’t at grade-7 and haven’t changed in quality. The strength of my physical body is still a little lacking…”

After sighing, Zong Shou recalled Ye Feishuang’s words. Over the ten thousand years of history here, no one managed to take out more than 8 spiritual items here.

It was indeed stronger than the last test. To obtain one more item, the next test would have become even more difficult.

As compared to how simple the start was, this time, he was in a bad state.

Even he didn’t dare to believe that he could get anything more.

He snapped out of his thoughts and gazed out once more only to see that Zong Yuan for some reason was in an intense battle with another person.

Zong Shou looked over closely before his eyes quickly squinted.

“Yuanshi Demon Sect?”

At this moment, only this person out of the small group of the Yuanshi Demon Sect had entered the true area of the Legacy Land. It was a grade-9 expert who held a black colored wood sword, he was standing on a spell altar.

30 thousand feet away, he controlled three grade-7 Soul Beasts to restrict Zong yuan.

In this Legacy Land, everyone’s cultivation had been restricted to grade-7. Even Spirit Masters could only use grade-7 Protector Beasts.

At this moment, the three grade-7 Soul Beasts weren’t Zong Yuan’s opponent. They would be wiped out at any moment by him.

The Yuanshi Demon Sect’s Spirit Master seemed to have understood Zong Yuan’s combat power, as such, he used the three Soul Beasts to restrict him. The Spirit Master himself stood on the spell altar and continuously casted spells to strike out from afar.

While doing so, a grade-7 Strength Xuan Metal Turtle didn’t leave his side from start to finish.

Zong Yuan stood at a distance, he stepped in the direction of the spell altar, his footsteps extremely firm.

All kinds of strong spells were cast one after another towards Zong Yuan. However, the moment it would form, it would be broken by the Lightning Spear Intent.

It couldn’t be said he was doing this effortlessly, but he still felt really relaxed.

Nearby the battle, there were three people observing. Each one of them had a certain glow in their eyes, Fangming was also amongst them.

Zong Shou’s brows rose up as he then broke out into a cold smile. He held the broken Tan sword in his hand while he silently walked towards the spell altar.

The killing intent within him was retracted while his aura was contained to the extreme. It was as if he didn’t exist.

The other people didn’t sense anything, however, Fangming frowned. He then suddenly smiled and disappeared, only to reappear at nearby the spell altar and Zong Yuan’s side. He abruptly waved his sleeves and the fiery glow around them was instantly dissipated.

“Brother Luoming, there are so many spiritual items here, why are we spoiling relationships due to one small thing? There is not much time left, if we carefully search, we might find other things. Your Highness Zong Shou, what do you think?”

Because he was stopped by Fangming, he was originally furious, his gaze gave off a clear unhappy intent. However, at this moment, he was reminded of the reason why he came here by Fangming, he quickly came back to his senses.
