Chapter 689: Existence Dao

Zong Shou felt that something wasn’t right when he took over that scroll. It was soft to the touch but there was a piece of thin Dragon Scale on the back which was extremely tough. It was a Dragon leather of high quality…

Zong Shou was stunned, was this from Aokun?

Upon closer examination did he realize that it wasn’t. Looking at the grade, it most probably came from a God Realm Dragon Race member. It was 30 feet but shrunk down. A 30,000-foot giant Dragon’s body was sliced off and crafted. It also shouldn’t have been longer than three years…

Beads of cold sweat formed on his forehead. As expected from the ancient Evil Dragon. These few years he was alone outside of the Cloud World. Who knows how many evil things he did?

In his heart, he was filled with more anticipation toward the contents of the scroll.

Words were used to carry details of the path. However, most of the laws and theories weren’t things that normal paper could support.

Which was why those High-Grade Spiritual Talisman ingredients were so precious.

A scroll that needed Aokun to use a God Realm leather to craft. Without thinking, one would know that the thing recorded within wasn’t simple.

Flipping open and taking a look, Zong Shou’s pupils constricted.

At the top of the scroll, there were only four words: Cause and Effect Theory!

Just the words ‘Cause and Effect’ took up a huge area. At this moment, with just one look Zong Shou actually felt nauseous and giddy.

He immediately closed it which allowed him to feel a little better.

He was dazed. He knew that Aokun wouldn’t find him for no reason.

Just as Zong Shou held onto the scroll and was startled, Aokun was outside of the Cloud World in a part of the void.

The chaotic energy around him had already calmed down. The uncertainty of his path was all solved due to the help of Zong Shou.

However, Aokun still looked right at his hands.

A thin withered leaf would appear in his hand and then disappear.

If Zong Shou could turn back time, he would definitely notice that the tree beside the sleeping palace had one less leaf, or a branch, even the entire tree didn’t exist.

In the end, Aokun clenched his fist and the entire leaf was crushed to dust.

“So that’s the case. The stronger one is, the more influence one has on the world and the harder one is to wipe out? However, this Grand Path does indeed ride above the Path of Destruction! It is the Path of Existence and Destruction…”

Slightly distracted, Aokun laughed, his voice was hoarse but he was in a close to maniacal manner.

However, listening closely the laugh was filled with sadness.

He needed to thank that person for taking his Dragon Pellet. Wasting 10,000 years, due to chance he obtained a unique Grand Path.

If he really succeeded in this, no one could stop him…

Time passed, the stars shifted.

Within the large stone room, suddenly a speck of light flew out. Then, with a soft sound it pinned onto a wall.

It didn’t contain any True Qi or any Martial Path intent. It just used its own sharpness to pierce through the thick stone wall.

On the side, Little Gold and Xiaori who were playing were frightened.

Hanxi who was just an inch away from it and trembled fear, its pupils constricting.

It was extremely clear that Zong Shou’s knife targetted it.

He didn’t inject in the power of time as before. However, this normal knife, even lacking of True Qi and Soul Power, nearly pinned it onto the wall.

There was some special power which made it feel that this knife was destined to pierce it!

It went all out, using its unparalleled speed to barely dodge.

Opposite it, Zong Shou muttered in an annoyed manner.

“As expected I am still lacking by a little…”

Hanxi could feel threads of green veins popping out of its brow, even if its bug body didn’t have such a structure.

…If it was hit, even if it didn’t die, it would suffer from heavy injuries.

However, it knew that Zong Shou was warning it. It was silent, more respectful and tamed. Its eyes also had a hurt and subservient expression.

It knew that its Master always liked the soft methods and not the hard ones.

Zong Shou saw his expression and felt that it wasn’t appropriate for him to always tear his knife on his Spiritual Pet. He laughed and then casually called back the knife.

At this time, a year had passed since the battle with the Night Demon.

Zong Shou’s few Spiritual Beasts showed huge improvements.

Especially Hanxi and Little Gold. The Black Demon Metal he thought was useless was actually seen as a delicacy by these two fellows.

After a year, Hanxi directly jumped to Grade-9, the six Silver Fire Soldier Ants also became Grade-8. Little Gold also showed signs of breaking through to Spirit Realm.

The Lightning Winged Dragon was his Natural Protector Beast, they were connected and its progress was the same as his.

Since he obtained that Seven Star Xuan Lightning Book, it improved greatly, also reaching peak Grade-9.

As long as he broke through the Heaven Barrier, it would advance to the Spirit Realm.

As for Xiaori, it was a Qilin and had several thousand years of lifespan. He had already grasped several bloodline abilities which needed some time to do so.

It grew from eating energy. The more King Energy it absorbed from Zong Shou, the faster its strength would rise.

Just now Zong Shou was testing the Cause and Effect laws.

It consumed close to 50% of his Soul Power. He first set an Effect of definitely hitting which was why there was a Cause from before.

The flying knife flew out of his hand and there were totally unexpected changes.

…Extremely exquisite trajectory, an arc which was a perfect fit with Heaven and Earth, enough to let any Grandmaster of the Martial Path open their mouths in shock!

If not for him being sure that it came from his hand, he might have thought it was from the Celestial Realm or even God Realm expert.

Although Hanxi barely avoided it, this outcome already made his heart bubble.

He said these words to cover up his emotions.

…That knife did in fact still have many flaws! That was because his control of Cause and Effect wasn’t that good yet.

He wasn’t able to perfectly match that and the power of Fate.

The consumption was also huge. If he included the power of Time as well, merging all three types together, the knife could suck dry all his energy.

Zong Shou shook his head slightly as he thought about that. It was best if he used the techniques less in the future.

Only when he was in a dangerous situation or he ensured that there were no enemies around him would he use them.

Although the knife could harm an enemy, it also made him useless.
