Chapter 574 - Yin Dragon Canyon Appearing
Chapter 574: Yin Dragon Canyon Appearing
Being stared at by such a questioning and furious gaze, even someone as thick-skinned as Zong Shou felt awkward, smiling as he asked, “You can take a look at your Mysterious Moon Wood Brilliance Technique...”
Xuanyuan Yiren’s face turned serious as she solemnly looked inside herself.
Actually, without even needing to see she already knew that the burning fire in her body had totally disappeared.
When she looked within, she was even more surprised. She could still manipulate the power of that brilliant flame, however the Five Elements had already balanced itself out.
“I feel much better now!”
Xuanyuan Yiren opened her eyes and felt really emotional, “My cultivation dropped by a little. However, it is more pure. My cultivation method doesn’t have any not rough places, I feel that in just a few days I will be able to enter Grade Seven!”
The past her, even if she stepped to the gates of Grade Seven she wouldn’t have dared to enter.
The moment she reached there, just the Chill Spirit Mysterious Pill that Zong Shou gave her wouldn’t be able to suppress it.
Now, not to mention Grade Seven, even if she tried to charge for the Spiritual realm, she would have no problems.
The purity of her true qi was far better then before.
However...
“The cultivation method seem to have some weaknesses, within my meridians there seem to be many deposits...”
“It is normal! That was only from one night, so naturally it couldn’t be totally solved. It is already not bad to reach such a stage. Wife, you and I will have to work harder in the future...”
When he said those words, Zong Shou felt that he revealed too much and that he would scare her, so he instantly changed his words, “Do you feel tired? Actually you can just sleep longer!”
Xuanyuan Yiren’s thoughts instantly thought back to how badly she was tortured by Zong Shou last night.
She only felt extremely exhausted, her legs feeling soft. Just one night, it was the same as having an intense fight with an enemy for several days. Even at this moment, her mind was muddy and unable to think clearly.
“Today, based on ancient rites, shouldn’t we need to accept the bows of the officials?”
Zong Shou’s eyes smiled, “What official bows? Tsk, it is okay! Our Gantian Mountain doesn’t have such rules, today I will accompany you...”
He remembered that Renbo and the few officials of the ministry of rites did indeed arrange it. This morning during the court assembly he would meet all the officials and only after the queen accepted all the gifts would the ritual be considered complete.
If it was based on the past Donglin Cloud Continent rules, he would need to display that white silk for all to see, which made Zong Shou shake his head.
Now that Gantian Mountain was a country system, such barbaric things naturally had to be removed.
Apart from that, he also needed to present wine to the parents. But as his parents weren’t around, this was naturally removed.
Thus, he didn’t bother about rules and rituals.
What was that phrase? The rising sun cuts short the night of rendezvous in spring.
Therefore the emperor was late for the audience in the morning...
—
He originally didn’t bother about administrative matters, and sleeping in with his wife wouldn’t be a problem.
Xuanyuan Yiren was half believing him, right as he was hesitating, he heard a crisp exclamation outside of the hall, “Young Master, your fox tail is revealed!”
Zong Shou was shocked and immediately turned his head around to look. As expected, several fox tails stretched out from his back who knows when. There were already seven of them, winding about behind him.
He swiftly withdrew them, feeling weird about it. Why did the fox tails run out for no reason? He looked towards the door, only to see Chuxue and Ruoshui walk in.
Xuanyuan Yiren finally reacted, her face flushing red. She didn’t dare to stay together with Zong Shou anymore, her sword pulling out with a brushing sound as she flew out of the sleeping hall and fled.
Zong Shou was speechless, thinking about how it was a waste. He stared viciously at Xue’er, leaving her confused.
She didn’t say anything wrong, Young Master’s fox tails were truly revealed...
—
In the end, the morning court assembly of the second day was completed as per normal. From start to finish, Xuanyuan Yiren didn’t dare to even look at him.
The way the officials looked at Zong Shou was filled with weirdness and respect. It was apparent that what happened last night had already spread out, which made Xuanyuan Yiren feel like she couldn’t face anyone. The moment the ritual was completed she ran back to her pill realm. She said that she was going into seclusion for ten days to recreate the Spiritual Salamander Pill. Aokun had already sent his dragon blood as their marriage gift.
Although it was an excuse to avoid Zong Shou, it was acceptable.
After these officials met Zong Shou, it was also time for Leidong and Jin Buhui to take their leave.
Zong Shou didn’t feel any reluctance. Cultivators like them had thousands of years of life and they had so much time to meet in the future.
However, Zong Shou still decided to send the two of them out of the city.
“When you and I met back then, who would have expected that three years later you would be so glorious, opening a country. Within the Cloud World you are pretty much invincible. I remember my uncle, every time he recalls this matter he is regretting. He should have been more firm in front of the sect leader...”
Zong Shou thought that before the two of them left,they would definitely mention defending that void fissure.
In the end, neither Leidong or Jin Buhui mentioned a word, only the former was a little emotional, his tone vicious. “However the debt from the past few days, I will pay it back! Zong Shou, you wait!...”
Thinking back to that day, Leidong felt really furious. Zong Shou not only got him drunk, even when he fell off Gantian Mountain he didn’t bother to help him. Luckily, his bones were strong and he didn’t break anything.
However, he also made a fool of himself, this time when he returns that Ruotao will definitely laugh at him.
He had arrogantly bragged about his drinking skills, that he would not get drunk even after a thousand cups. In the end, he got drunk and fell off the mountain unconscious, where would all his face go?
In the past, it would always be him making people drunk, when did such a matter occur?
Just as he spoke, Zong Shou’s face turned serious as he looked towards a location in the north. His expression was deep in thought.
Leidong and Jin Buhui exchanged glances, their faces filled with shock. In just a moment they noticed something.
“Isn’t that direction Yin Dragon Canyon? Did the Cloud Desolate Ancient Ruins appear?”
Roughly deducing the location, Leidong felt weird. The appearance of the Yin Dragon Canyon ruins should be a good thing for Gantian Mountain.
At this moment, Donglin Cloud Continent was unified and all the sects close to Lingyun Sect were chased out.
With the Blood Cloud Cavalry as a shield, this canyon belonged to Zong Shou, so why was he worried?
Zong Shou nodded his head slightly, many thoughts racing through him.
He didn’t care about the appearance of the Yin Dragon Canyon. The things within had long been seen by him as his personal items, especially now that he lacked money.
Although Zong Weiran had scoured it, because he had the Book of Eon Extreme Life Zong Shou was excited.
Being linked together with this Book, it seemed like there would be something special about these ruins.
However, at this moment what he cared about most was the timing with which it appeared. It was a full three months ahead of what he remembered.
Based on the records from those books in the future, the time the Yin Dragon Canyon appeared should be the end of winter of the 29th year of Yuancheng.
Was his memory was wrong, or was it really the case in history?
Or was it due to other reasons?
Since this was the case with the Yin Dragon Canyon, then would the Demon Corpse Mountain have any changes?
Jin Buhui’s expression was still normal, however moments later he had a weird expression, too. “This aura, so strong! Is it that Yin Dragon? No...”
In that instant, a vast strength suddenly swept out from the skies above Donglin Cloud Continent.
Although they were thousands of miles away, they could clearly sense it. Even the true qi in their bodies naturally worked to resist it.
Zong Shou’s brows rose up; this aura didn’t seem weaker than Shenxiao.
“Let’s go take a look!”
The moment he said that, he had already stepped up into the sky and swiftly headed in that direction.
—
Three thousand miles of land, totally without consuming any spiritual power and energy to rush over, took just half a day.
Jin Buhui’s cultivation was the weakest at only Grade Seven. However, with the help of Zong Shou and Leidong, he could barely keep up.
Moments later, a deep canyon covered in black clouds appeared in the eyes of the three of them.
It was seven hundred miles wide. Calling it a canyon, it was more of a ring-shaped mountain.
Zong Shou landed at the border, he fixed his eyes on the depths of the black fog.
The density of the yin energy here was several times thicker than that of the Evil Spirit Moat, and similar to the Oblivion Cloud Ocean, spiritual sense was unable to reach in at all.
“Who knows how many people died here! However, in the Cloud World, only such a place could give birth to a yin dragon...”
Leidong’s brows furrowed as he showed the expression of one deep in thought.
Zong Shou nodded his head slightly. Not only were there many who died here, there should be many top-Grade cultivators too, forming such thick yin and grievances.
Based on what he knew, that Yin Dragon should have reached the Spirit realm level.
Logically speaking, someone at that realm shouldn’t be allowed in the Cloud World. However, this beast didn’t show itself to the world and the Yin Dragon Canyon was an environment similar to the Shrines and spiritual houses.
The Cloud World didn’t repel it, and no one cared. Normal cultivators couldn’t do anything about it.
“However that aura wasn’t the Yin Dragon, and it shouldn’t be a living thing...” Sensing it, the weird expression on Zong Shou’s face turned deeper and deeper.
...It didn’t seem like a living being, but the aura was filled with soul power. Was it an artifact spirit?
At such a level, it was at least a top magical treasure...
That soul power fluctuation seemed to be begging, like it had gone through ten thousand years and the magical treasure was about to die.
Jin Buhui was paying attention to something else, shooting out several talismans into this canyon.
Moments later, he nodded slightly, “As expected, there are weaknesses in the restrictions here.”
The Dragon Hall was the same. After millions of years of time, what was originally a perfect and flawless restriction and formation started to break apart.
At this time, most of the ruins that the ancients left behind were wiped out and scoured clean. This portion that remained was the true essence.
That was because the powers of Donglin were unable to break them open. They could only leave them aside and wait for a day when the spiritual formations fell apart themselves, or when the sect experts returned.
The Yin Dragon Canyon was like that. Dozens of years ago, only when the illusionary technique was broken did someone notice. Until this moment, no one would dare to simply test it out!
