Chapter 464: Definitely Impossible

Translator: Exodus Tales  Editor: Exodus Tales

Stunned for a long while, Kong Yao gradually regained her senses. She thought it to be impossible.

However thinking back to it, the sword wasn’t fake.

…It was real, she saw that flawless yellow sword energy, the purest white dragon shadow!

The emperor’s martial path is formed by and gathered from strength. However, due to the messy thoughts in the heart, the sword energy formed from the strength of a country will be full of discord.

The emperor martial path, as it is formed by strength and gathered from strength. However due to the messy thoughts in one’s heart, so the sword energy formed when borrowing the strength of ta country will often be really messy. It will be mainly yellow with other colors within. Only a few especially great and smart rulers, the way their sword energy looked would be slightly different.

However to be so pure until Zong Shou’s level, at least after the cloud desolate era, she had never heard of something like that.

It was said that only those saint emperors during that time period had such pure emperor energy.

That was the ruler being morally upright, honest to the highest level, a symbol of perfection. Not only was he loved by the people, the way he ruled was in line with the path of heaven and earth.

She felt that the heavens were unfair. His majesty slept late and ate thriftly, focussing on politics. In his 70 years he promoted many talented people, proper men into the court. After inheriting the throne he pulled back a Great Shang dynasty which was totally chaotic and on the brink of collapsing.

Now it had 24 states under him, 300 over provinces. Although it wasn’t a time of great order but the people in the country didn’t have to fret about food and clothes. Numerous confucians called him a resurgent emperor, a great ruler of a generation.

However even so his emperor martial path was just slightly purer then his past generations.

She had personally seen the yellow sword energy was filled with many other colors. It was too far away from Zong Shou’s one.

Who knows based on what did this Zong Shou own such pure emperor energy.

Within Gantian Mountain the great morale and love for their king wasn’t fake. However in her eyes this was only due to a year and a half ago.

If she predicted correctly, within a few years Zong Shou would lose the heart of the people.

However she didn’t think that the Gantian Mountain people were so devoted to such an extent. This monster king who rarely showed his face in 1.5 years seemed to attract zero unhappiness from them.

Did the 3 emperors and 7 sovereigns mentioned by the confucians in the ancient times, the so called saint emperor was just like this Zong Shou?

That was definitely impossible, something must have gone wrong. Did the secret technique passed down have flaws?

Passing down all matters to subjects, not bothering about administrative matters at all. Building that so called Meeting Hall and allowing his forces to battle within, how was that reasonable. That was definitely not the confucian way.

There were also those extremely preposterous government orders which were really luxurious, not knowing how to be thrifty. How was such a person fit to be a saint king?

The heavens are really blind!

However thinking back, the strength of the sword was hidden within and nothing leaked out, however it was extremely strong and hard, where did it have any signs of weakening. Where were there any signs that destruction was imminent.

White colored as the metal energy, focused in killing. Which means that Zong Shou and Gantian Mountains were filled with numerous conquest…

Zong Shou had no idea what Kong Yao was thinking about. In the last life he had seen many emperor martial paths, however he didn’t know that this emperor energy had grades. It didn’t have any special spiritual eye techniques and he couldn’t view it.

Keeping all the nine yin mother and son lightning, following which Zong Shou looked at the ground.

Only to see a talisman which was slashed open lying quietly on the floor that was made out of all real ‘gold bricks’.

“Spirit descending on puppet, grade 6 magical talisman? No wonder it could hide from my spiritual sense…”

Reaching out with his hand, he pulled that talisman paper to his hand. Zong Shou used his spiritual sense to deduce for a moment before he shook his head in disappointment.

Just now that paper person should be made by this talisman. That Yangfan should have only used a bit of his soul to attach to the talisman. Even if it was destroyed it would cause a lost of soul power and didn’t harm his roots.

The technique was an extremely high grade spell that spirit masters could learn after they stepped into the celestial path. It could give rise to a paper person puppet, similar to forming a body outside of your body. However your combat strength was really average.

However that was only because Yangfan’s cultivation wasn’t enough. If it was spirit realm experts, using this talisman, they would be legit spiritual realm experts. Naturally the amount of time the talisman could last for would also be different.

The talisman in his hand was a high grade one coming from a talisman master, enough to last for 7 days. And if it changed into that paper person just now to fight, it could last for 8 hours.

However he was really surprised. That Longxiang City lord really hid things really deep, he was actually a grade 8 spirit master! To be able to take out such a grade talisman as well as the nine yin mother and son lightning, he must be rich.

Following which Zong Shou laughed coldly. What ran in front of him was just a talisman. However its master should be nearby, definitely not more than hundred miles!

Waving his sleeves, an yin wind flashed in the hall, like there was something which disappeared from the side hall. Within his sleeves the nine yin mother and son lightning had gone.

Zong Shou turned his head and looked towards Kong Yao. Only then he realised that this girl was stoning.

His brows furrowed as he said flatly,”Governor commander Kong, you said you came on orders from the Great Shang emperor, having something to tell me. What is it about?”

Whilst he spoke he purposely used true qi to shock her heart. That Kong Yao came right back to her senses, her expression was really complicated when she looked at Zong Shou.

A moment later she suppressed the emotions in her heart,”Has your highness heard of the spiritual wave? Do you know that outside our cloud world there are numerous void fissures?”

Seeing Zong Shou nod his head she didn’t continue on, getting right into the topic,”During the cloud desolate era the spiritual wave dissipated, it was actually man made. A few end realm venerables personally did it, sealing up spiritual energy. They also sealed in all the fissure tunnels which other world races could use to enter our cloud world. They established 5 vast habitats to suppress the world river…”

Zong Shou smiled, he was really clear about that. These void fissures, half was caused by other world races whilst half was done by cloud world people. Following which he thought about it and knew the reason the army god of Great Shang was here.

Her tone changed, becoming really solemn,”Then does ruler know that the moment the spiritual wave starts. Cloud World’s spiritual energy would be really bountiful, heaven and earth spirits sealed up for ten thousand years would explode out. The suppression of the spirit river and the tunnels sealed up for ten thousand over years would be open and unobstructed? Those 5 vast habitats would be unable to suppress it all anymore.”

She paused before she entered the main topic,”I am under orders by the emperor to ask you if you are willing to be the vassal state of our Great Shang? To join hands with us to fight the outside enemy? If you are willing we will treat you like a duke and can give you millions of top talisman armor and weapons to help you unify Donglin Cloud Continent.”

Zong Shou’s thoughts were proven correct. He didn’t think much about it, shaking his head,”We can fight the common enemy! As for being your vassal state forget about it, I am unwilling to be under others!”

Scolding out in his heart. Million of top grade talisman weapons and armor seem like alot and really sincere. Did he have to tell her that these weapons were already eliminated by Gantian Mountain. That in half a year the lowest standard in the army would be grade 1 spiritual weapons and armor?

Moreover this status matter needed to be really careful. Once it was set, causing Gantian Mountain to be under the Central Dynasty, then they would be bounded. There were many things that he couldn’t do.

He was the 2nd generation direct disciple of the common people path, a true person of the ‘demon sect’. He was destined to be enemies with Great Shang . To be under him and fight the ruler as a subject, that would be immoral.

Since both sides were enemies, in the future if he wants to revolt he would feel more at ease.

Kong Yao’s brows furrowed once more. She wasn’t surprised, when she looked at the yellow emperor sword energy she knew that she was going to return back empty handed.

However she still didn’t give up, opening her mouth once more,”Ruler doesn’t know but once the spiritual wave gets full, the various sects will become stronger and will suppress the dynasties of this world. During the cloud desolate era it was this case, the sects all working together. What my Great Shang emperor wants is for the countries to work together and join hands to resist them. Ruler please think about it!”

Zong Shou shook his head and didn’t express anything, directly avoiding the topic,”Governor commander you have came a long way, why not stay a few days here in Gantian Mountain?”

Kong Yao opened her mouth and tried to persuade. She was speechless and knew that Zong Shou was going a long way round to reject and send her away.

Just as she was quiet and thinking, a cold scoff spread out from behind her,”You are about to be wiped out and you still don’t know what is good for you! A saving grace was in front of you, and you don’t dare to grasp it. How decrepit and muddleheaded…”

Zong Shou’s eyes furrowed and looked coldly out. Only to see that someone was standing behind Kong Yao. He was around 30, wearing armor, a knifecut-like face, filled with disdain.

“This person is?”

Kong Yao felt a headache and said helplessly,”This is general Li Zhile, he is a capital commander under me. Please forgive him for his impoliteness.”

“I won’t blame him.” Zong Shou smiled, a cold glow flashed in his eyes,”However I don’t like people who can’t act as good as me, ask him to scram out of this Hanyan Palace!”

Li Zhile’s expression turned ashen white, his eyes filled with rage.

※※※※

At the same time, roughly 70 miles away from Gantian Mountain City, within a dense forest.

Yangfan heaved a sigh of relief and woke up from his deep focus. He wiped the corner of his lips, feeling that it was sticky. Looking closely it was a few drops of fresh blood.

It was due to his soul being damaged from just now.

At this moment there were 3 people standing there. One was a 29 old, demure looking servant who was called Tan Xiang. The other 2 stood a little further, dressed in iron armor, each holding a spear. One was called Feng Guang, the other was Zhou Wen. They were his bodyguards, grade 7 experts, the people he trusted the most. At this moment they were looking over with a worried expression on their faces..

Yangfan smiled and shook her head, signalling to them that he was fine. Following which he stood up and looked into the direction of Gantian Mountain City.
