Chapter 468: Challenge from Jueyu

Translator: Exodus Tales  Editor: Exodus Tales

Using the teleportation jade letter to fly from Gantian Mountain to Common people path palace made the 4 of them still felt dizzy. However, they were already used to it, so they were barely able to stand and not vomit out.

When Zong Shou went down to the 1st level of the Book Hiding Hall B, he saw Shi Ruolan reading with her eyes opened bright.

She was originally really focused. However, when Zong Shou appeared, she started to be distracted, peeking over, her eyes filled with joy.

That old man Hanfang was naturally unhappy, gazing at Zong Shou and scoffing coldly.

Zong Shou was lazy to bother about him, smiling slightly. He walked beside Shi Ruolan and took out an item from the heaven and earth bag.

“Ruolan, look at what this is?”

It was a closely-knit, petite looking rabbit doll. Shi Ruolan’s eyes lit up and immediately threw the book to the side, hugging it right away. She loved such furry things.

She hugged it and rolled about on the bed, it was comfortable.

Zong Shou smiled wide, lightly caressing Shi Ruolan’s hair. He thought that this little brat who was just 7-8 years old 2 years ago had, in just such a short time she had grown so tall, close to his chest.

Hanfang was good at teaching disciples. Her spiritual and martial cultivation both entered grade 4, and her progress was shocking.

Seeing her blessed and enjoying expression, Hanfang’s expression relaxed, and her eyes filled with a merciful look.

Then, he glanced towards Zong Shou, “You aren’t going to change your mind. Your 2 bodyguards are so far ahead compared to you! They are all grade 7, improving swiftly every day. Even your servant Chuxue has caught up to you! Now to rebuild your foundations, although it is slightly late, it is still in time. When you break through to day wandering realm, you would need much more effort!”

Zong Shou smiled and didn’t say anything. Hanfang just needed to look at his expression and he knew the answer, sighing slightly.

“Forget it! It is up to you. It is all my fault for sprouting about that dharma route and giving you some hope. However, you have to remember that if you feel that the route can’t be passed, then don’t force it. Find me, and no matter what, the sect would help you.”

Zong Shou gratefully bowed and was just about to walk out. However, Hanfang frowned and said, “Oh right, that sword prince, Jueyu. This time, you probably have to join in. 3 days ago, he sent someone to send the battle invitation and said that no matter how your cultivation is, he would fight with Tanqiu—even if he has to restrict his internal energy. Probably 10 days later he would find his way over. At that time, whether or not we will get famous or lose face, it is an unknown.”

Zong Shou was startled. He gave a helpless smile. He originally thought that this thing had nothing to do with him. Who knew that he would be still wrapped up within.

However, he was anticipating the battle with this god-emperor era sword path expert.

However, if he was restraining his cultivation, it would help that Jueyu train in his sword. However, it wasn’t of much help to him.

10 days? That seemed to be enough.

Shaking his head, Zong Shou had an idea, “Senior brother, I am a 2nd generation direct disciple. Logically speaking I have the right to recommend one person to fight him right?”

Hanfang was confused when he heard that, not knowing what Zong Shou meant by those words.

However a 2nd generation direct disciple did indeed have the right to participate in common people path decision making.

No matter whether or not he wanted to, the next common people path student palace head would be him.

Looking at Zong Yuan and Ruoshui behind him, thinking that if it were these 2, no matter who it was, they wouldn’t lose the face of common people path. He immediately nodded his head, “Okay! However, junior brother must remember that this concerns the reputation and luck of our common people path, you have to be careful!”

Zong Shou smiled and walked out of the gates. After walking out of the Book Hiding Hall B he walked right for his courtyard.

At this moment within the student palace, everyone recognized him. He was a famous person.

Along the way, although the disciples all treated him respectfully. Every time he passed, they would stop and bow, but looking at their gazes, it was slightly weird. Some people were worried, and some were tempted to try. Some were doubting and some of them were gloating.

Zong Shou only acted like he couldn’t see them. Since half a year ago, when his spiritual cultivation was still unable to break through to the day wandering realm and was still at the peak of the return to the Sun realm, these weird gazes started to appear. And they became more and more common.

Disciples who had the right to enter the vast habitat were all huge talents, the cream of the crop.

In the past, the one able to occupy the 1st courtyard A and become the first seat was the dragon of them all, a top talent tough to find even in a century.

To be stuck at day wandering realm peak for over a year and being unable to break through, that was unimaginable.

Although his sword path was one with the spirit, what was the most important about a cultivator was still their cultivation realm.

Without enough strength, even the highest sword techniques would be useless.

Zong Shou didn’t need to even guess and knew that the people were discussing behind his back.

To be accepted as the 3rd generation core disciple, did he only have such skill, such ability?

However, today their expressions seemed weirder. If it was because of what he expected, then it would be due to Jueyu’s letter.

Zong Shou didn’t bother about it from start to finish. Acting like nothing had happened as he walked back to his courtyard under all the gazes.

The moment he entered he saw Zhao Yanran sitting there waiting with a bored expression. When she saw him she said with an annoyed tone, “What time is it, you are patient! Having the free time to play around at Gantian Mountain. Do you know that the common people path palace has flipped on its head?”

Zong Shou smiled. This clown has been dragged down by him recently. Due to them being reverse seed cauldron, at this moment she was also suppressed at Xuanwu ancestor peak, unable to breakthrough. Recently, her identity as Seven Spirit Sect’s first seat was also in danger. Her 2 junior sisters’ auras were already unstable, occasionally drawing heaven and earth spiritual energy. They were showing signs of breaking through.

Directly walking past her, Zong Shou didn’t care at all.

“If you are impatient and worried about what others say you can remove the reverse seed cauldron! Anyways I don’t care…”

“Only an idiot would do that! Why would I bother about what those ignorant people say?”

Zhao Yanran scoffed coldly. Others might not know the reason why Zong Shou wasn’t able to break through, but as the person participating in the technique, she was the clearest. She knew why Zong Shou’s cultivation was stuck at the bottleneck.

Thinking that this fellow was pretty much sick in the head. No matter how talented a spirit master was to be able to form 14 was already the maximum. However this Zong Shou had formed 9 more talismans in these 1.5 years!

The reverse cauldron had caused her to get numerous benefits. Maybe she might break through slower, but once she did, she would fly up into the heavens!

“I am talking about that sword prince Jueyu matter. I am not willing to let my seed cauldron lose his face! I am also unwilling to let common people path lose face. How confident are you in this battle?”

Following Zong Shou in, Zhao Yanran asked in a distracted manner. She was conflicted in her heart. She was unwilling for Zong Shou to go too hard and rush to breakthrough. She also wasn’t willing to see Zong Shou lose to sword prince Jueyu.

It was okay if he lost, as long as it wasn’t so bad. To be able to survive a stroke or two in front of him wasn’t a loss of face.

Thinking back to a year and a half ago when the Tailing Sect young generation experts all fought and no one was able to block 10 swords. The entire sect was suppressed until they didn’t dare to make a sound. Zhao Yanran was filled with hate but she knew that hoping for Zong Shou to bring back face for Seven Spirit Sect was impractical.

She wasn’t focusing. When Zong Shou stepped into his room, he closed the door casually, causing her to smash into it.

Her nose hurt. Luckily, a martial cultivator’s physical body was strong. A moment later, she was fine.

Taking a few steps back, she saw that the wooden door wrote the words ‘secluded meditation don’t disturb’.

Rubbing her nose that turned slightly red, she couldn’t help but feel annoyed. Zong Shou treated Xuan Yunlan and recently Xuanye, who he had some encounters with, really politely. However, to her, he relied on that “great great great great great senior master” identity to bully her, showing her no face at all and not caring for her.

Turning around, she looked at the 3 with a questioning gaze.

Zong Yuan looked in the sky whilst Ruoshui looked to the side. Her hands covering her lips and her body shivering like she was laughing.

It was still Chuxue who was honest and said helplessly, “The young master said that he was going to break through this time after he came back.”

Zhao Yanran’s eyes lit up, like a galaxy of stars in her eyes.

※※※※

Within the room, Zong Shou was in meditation. He formed hand signs and a blood-red seal word appeared on his head. Then, it twisted constantly, a strong strength struck at it and caused it to break.

Vast soul power spread all about in this room.

Luckily, there were prepared spiritual formations blocking and none of it leaked own. It also didn’t give rise to heaven and earth’s spiritual energy reaction.

Since a year ago, when he had formed the 12th true spiritual talisman it has been like this.

His entire soul had turned into yang nature using the sky mirror soul shining technique, burning every day under the sun. It was pure and perfect.

12 true spiritual talismans also caused him to be about to break through at any moment.

He had no choice but to use this sealing technique to cause him to remain at the Return to the Sun realm.

Such a technique naturally couldn’t be hidden from people like Hanfang. However, in his eyes, he thought that Zong Shou was suppressing it because the dharma road wasn’t appropriate.

In other’s eyes, it was because his cultivation had no improvement in the year.

Zong Shou himself was clear about it. 1.5 years to form another 9 true spiritual talismans, causing his soul power purity to be no weaker than those day wandering realm spirit masters. The 12 heaven talisman seeds from Lingyun Sect have also been merged.
