Divine Brilliance

Chapter 1225: 10,000-year Plan

Zong Shou’s heart jumped furiously as seriousness and fear flashed across his eyes. He came in the end! That person who hid in the shadows who killed Xi Zi!

The battle between Great Gan and Night Demon Race had already come to an end. After the two Country Rulers died, the Dark World Demon Court would be on the verge of falling for at least 100 years and they wouldn’t be strong enough to expand anymore.

The enemy had been forced away and now was the best chance for that person to step in. If he missed this battle, Great Gan and Common People’s Path would have overgrown wings and they would mature slowly. Be it the Taoist Faction or that person, neither had a chance at all.

With a loud explosion, that power didn’t aim towards Zong Shou but at the 12 Copper Men.

Although he wasn’t the target, it wiped out Zong Shou’s spiritual sense and no thoughts were able to rise up at all. It was like his thoughts and the surrounding space had frozen up. Despair spread out in his chest like when Ye Wuji faced his flying knife. They could sense it and see it but they couldn’t move at all and had no way to block.

The jade tray that Xiuguan left for him was spinning quickly in his Soul Ocean, giving out an intense light. This was it rotating on its own after sensing his dangerous situation, calling out to Xiuguan who was several worlds away.

In that instant, even if it was just for a millionth of a second, Zong Shou felt like he couldn’t hold on for that long.

In front of this absolute power, he was like a speck of dust, not worth mentioning at all.

However, in the next moment, an old voice spread forth from afar.

“You still appeared here today! Xi Zi told me that if you really existed, then the only thing you would fear is the 12 Copper Men! As expected, he was right…”

The moment he said this, a Taichi Diagram flew over. This space gap became a golden bridge, suppressing the spiritual energy and essence energy all around.

Even the giant power that sped through the air was suppressed by the golden bridge by 70%. The 12 Copper Men also gave off a weird glow that broke free of Zong Shou’s control. They all punched out towards an area in the void.

Zong Shou’s spiritual sense finally broke free, but his mind was totally blank. Before he was able to think, there was an explosion around him. Zong Shou and the other two were forced out of the space gap from the ripple forces.

Zong Shou looked out and noticed that not far from the World Slaying Platform and Tianfang World, just three worlds away, be it that Kongye Saint Venerable from the Night Demon Race or Dragon Shadow, they were all really serious as they looked out.

The world river shook once more. It was an intense battle within the space gap that finally affected the outer world. Luckily, the entire world region took the hit, and nothing serious happened.

Only then was Zong Shou able to think. 1,000 thoughts rose up in his mind.

Cibei Taoist Lord, the creator of the Taoist Faction, the ancestor of the Sword Sect, as he had expected, had been watching from the side.

However, the only thing that person feared was the 12 Copper Men? Xi Zi actually predicted it long ago?

The 12 Copper Men were out of his control like they a mind of their own. Before this, he didn’t sense it and didn’t know where it came from. Did Xi Zi do something on them 10,000 years ago?

Speaking of which, Xi Zi entered the Qin Emperor Tomb not because he was wary of the Qin Emperor, but because he was leaving this to deal with this person?

So, Xi Zi had predicted this battle long ago?

Zong Shou’s expression was weird. A breath after the space gap was broken once more.

First, an old man holding a purple gold book stepped out from within. Behind him, the 12 Copper Men flew out. The golden body was covered in cracks. Luckily, nothing serious was damaged. With the crafting skills of the Mohist Faction, this bit of damage was something they could recover by themselves.

Zong Shou was paying attention to the aura that the Copper Men gave off, similar to his God Refined Sword.

It really was Xi Zi? 10,000 years ago, he did this? The old man was Cibei Taoist Lord. His aura was so strong, far stronger than that of Kongye and Dragon Shadow.

Was it the Book of Universe, the brother book of the Book of Eon in his hands? So, the one who plotted against Shiyue in the Xiang King’s tomb was Cibei Taoist Lord?

Instantly, Zong Shou thought about something and his expression became really interesting. Mimicry Illusionary Mirror! He sensed an aura similar to the Mimicry Illusionary Mirror that appeared in the Cloud World 10,000 years later!

It wouldn’t be wrong! Speaking of which, the illusionary space 10,000 years later relied on this Book of Universe as its foundations? So, what role did Cibei Taoist Lord play within?

However, at this moment, he could only suppress all the thoughts in his mind.

What he wanted to know was where was this person?

Zong Shou looked towards Cibei Taoist Lord and then he saw a black dot appear in the void. It was like it was in this world, but also on the outside, tough to grasp.

In the next instant, a person walked out from within his Soul Ocean.

It was Xiuguan holding a golden pagoda. His expression was cold and calm and also filled with a sharp intent that was hard to describe.

“8,000 years of waiting and finally you have appeared!”

The black light shook and a soul power fluctuation spread out. Yexuan and Lu Wubing weren’t able to take it and expressions of pain appeared on their faces.

Xiuguan laughed coldly, sensing some information from the spiritual sense, “I left because two years ago Brother Xiuguan told me to bait you out which was why from start to finish I have paid attention to Cloud World matters. Senior Brother laid out this trap. 10,000 years ago, he didn’t totally lose…”

Zong Shou instantly understood. Xiuguan left so hurriedly not because he was searching for Xi Zi’s soul fragment, but to lower this person’s guard.

The 12 Copper Men were silent. However, the Chaotic God Talisman was adjusting. The suppression of laws was much stronger than when Zong Shou controlled them. Even the Order God Talisman in the direction of the World Slaying Platform couldn’t affect it.

Zong Shou felt shocked and ashamed. Xiuguan said, “Junior Nephew Zong Shou, can you lend me that Xuan Increasing Law Containing Wings to use?”
