Chapter 647: Great Death Restriction

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

After escaping the chaotic World River and running until he reached the Cloud World, Zong Shou still felt that it was a great pity.

If he had a piece of wood big enough to remodel and build into a giant ship, it would have had room enough for four hundred thousand Gantian Mountain elites.

Even the discarded fragments of wood could be used to craft spiritual artifacts to earn a huge amount of money.

Also, he would not need to worry about the spaceship matter.

Zong Shou sighed as he stopped the Royal Demon God Shuttle.

A short time ago, he had clashed with the pursuing Prince Jia Mingluo once more. Although they were on the same level, he was able to escape easily using the Illusionary Heart Mirror. However, he was not entirely unscathed, and had suffered some damage to his internal organs.

But these injuries couldn’t compare to damage done by the Illusionary Heart Mirror.

Just then, that mirror turned into a ball of light that flew into his sleeves.

Zong Shou smiled bitterly. He had used the item for a mere two hours, and only cast the most basic spells in that time.

However, this short period of use had consumed a full three years of his lifespan.

If he used it a few more times, he would probably die on the spot.

Xuan Yunlan was also worried for him. “It is the best if the Ruler uses it less often before breaking through to Spirit Realm.”

After saying this, she took out a zither and began to play lightly. A clean and crisp tune instantly filled the shuttle.

It was a Settling Soul Purification Tune. Resonating with that clear tune, Zong Shou’s raging vital energy calmed down.

Zong Shou suddenly felt his brow heat up, a pure essence energy surging in as he listened on. The majority of his injuries were instantly healed.

Zong Shou turned to Zhao Yanran shock, only to hear her say, “Don’t misunderstand, I am only pitying you. It’s a payment for collecting the wood!”

Zong Shou knew that she was telling the truth. Why else would this woman be so nice as to provide energy to heal him?

At this moment, Ruoshui was distracted as she stared at a broken piece of wood. She directly leaned back on it and let out a satisfied moan. It was even more comfortable Zong Shou’s fox tail.

Zhao Yanran was also a little curious about the trunk. “What kind of tree could grow to such a huge size?”

If it was in the Cloud World, then the tree would have reached into the stars.

“Legend has it that during the Cloud Desolate Era, there was a tree known as Heaven Reaching! It was two million feet tall and broad enough for one hundred thousand people holding hands to circle it. This tree could compare to that. However, unfortunately, during the start of the Cloud Desolate Era it was cut down.”

Zong Shou was in deep thought. Naturally the giant wooden pieces in front of him couldn’t be from that Heaven Reaching tree. That was a god item, and much higher quality than this.

Saint Realm experts could at most damage it, but not destroy it.

“I heard that not far from the Cloud World, there is an alien world. On the continent there are many giant trees. After just three thousand years, they gain their own consciousnesses, and can even speak. They develop strong powers, each able to control living spirits! Actually, this trunk is considered a small one.”

He had gained such knowledge when he was “Tanqiu.”

He thought that this item was probably stolen by the Night Demon race from that world.

When these giant trees gained consciousness, they were comparable to God Realm experts.

For the Night Demon race to be able to battle their way in and obtain it showed how strong they were.

Zhao Yanran didn’t believe what he said, scoffing, “You have never left the Cloud World, so what would you know? You are just lying.”

Zong Shou laughed and didn’t reply. Why did this woman have the same reaction as Ye Feishuang and Ye Feihan?

He did begin to miss the two sisters as he thought about them. Who knew what happened to those two girls. He told them that if they faced trouble they could hide in Gantian Mountain. Even if that Juelong City was strong, they wouldn’t try to make trouble with him.

Since they hadn’t arrived, they probably hadn’t run into trouble. He didn’t need to worry about them.

The women spoke for a while before they started discussing about what magical artifacts to craft the wood into. It was best if they were carved into jewelry. As for what kind, they were anxious and arguing about it.

Zong Shou felt like his eyes had been opened to a new sight. So a crazy person like Zhao Yanran actually had such a little girl side.

Jingyin even interrupted a few times which surprised him. It seemed like the little nun wasn’t truly devoid of desires.

Maybe because she felt embarrassed by his stare, Jingyin’s face flushed red. She lowered her head and didn’t speak up anymore.

Zong Shou’s eyes were attracted by her embarrassed looks. The size of her chest was actually no smaller than Xue’er.

Before this she wore a thick robe and it wasn’t apparent. Now that had she lowered her chin and it pressed onto her clothes, her huge chest was obvious.

Just as his heart sped up, Kong Yao’s voice rang out at the wrong time, “Husband, the Night Demon race is strong. If we want to win, we have to use strategy!”

Zong Shou was jolted back to his senses, and to thinking about the important matter at hand. His heart tensed up as he thought back to the closely packed and majestic Night Demon army.

“Even if we have to fight, it can’t be in Huizhou! We need to avoid facing them head on, and instead focus on splitting their forces. We can let matters take their course for now...”

Zong Shou knew what she meant. However, that plan would allow the Night Demons to occupy Huizhou.

Splitting troops to defend against Great Shang and against the sects. Gantian Mountain had the home ground advantage, and it would be much easier to handle the enemy this way.

After thinking a short moment, Zong Shou still shook his head.

“I want to wall the enemy outside of the country! Donglin has been in chaos for three thousand years, and only enjoyed a few months of peace. How can I let my people suffer the chaos of war once more?”

In his heart, he was considering those paths and piers he had built, and how most of them were completed now, as well as those ships under his name which occupied the east of Donglin.

How was he going to earn money if war came once more? Wouldn’t all those beast crystals and mind stones he invested be a waste? Moreover, if many people die, who would he collect taxes from?

How could he allow a war to happen?

This was why they not only needed to end this battle outside the borders, they also had to be quick.

Kong Yao was silent as she stared at Zong Shou, before turning her head away.

She thought to herself, What would His Majesty do if it were Great Shang?

He knew that the best way to win against the Night Demon race was to fight on Donglin land, but instead he was willing to take the risk to decide things at Huizhou.

She really didn’t know what to say about this person.

He wasn’t willing to let his people suffer from the chaos of war?

Jingyin lifted her head again, her eyes shining. Her expression was filled with respect. “Ruler is so kind, no wonder the millions under Gantian love you so much.”

In the past, she praised Zong Shou just because everyone was doing so. Today however, her words were truly sincere.

Only Zhao Yanran who could read his dark thoughts was laughing to herself.

This fellow merely couldn’t bear to lose money!

Zong Shou maintained his smile as he felt the energy within his body recover.

Then he drove the Royal Demon God Shuttle forwards.

The Royal Demon God Shuttle was famous for the name ‘Royal Demon.’ Its strength wasn’t swift travel, but durability, which was why Gods and Demons both avoided it.

It had taken no damage during the recent battle with Prince Jia Mingluo.

However, as there were several million kilograms of wood within, its speed was naturally reduced by several times.

Slowly and leisurely, the shuttle flew through the clouds.

When they were in the space layer, there wasn’t any concept of weight, which was why they weren’t affected. Now that they were in the Cloud World, they were crawling at the pace of a tortoise.

Zong Shou was unbothered by their slow progress, but Zhao Yanran couldn’t take it. Along the way, she saw several Grade Seven Lightning Crane Super Carriages fly past them.

Those Lightning Cranes were swift, a little faster than Grade Nine cultivators. Not long ago, the Grand Demon God Shuttle could have ditch them a thousand miles back in a breath, but now it was the other way around.

Even if she wished to speed up, it was impossible to dispose of the wooden pieces.

Just as she was about to mock Zong Shou, her heart changed as she made a realization. “This is the direction towards Lianyun Island. Are you going back to take a look?”

There was total silence in the shuttle.

Zong Shou wasn’t the only one who had heard what that Prince Jia Mingluo said.

Using the million souls to seal the world?

Were those words true or false?

Zong Shou looked towards Kong Yao with a questioning gaze.

“There is indeed such a secret technique!” She said in answer.

Kong Yao thought back to the past. “My Kong Family passed it down for many generations. I have seen it before, and it is called the Great Death Restriction Formation. During the Cloud Desolate Era, before the Battle of Wenshan there were ten thousand Grade Nine cultivators who used this formation to stop an alien army, sacrificing themselves to seal up a part of space for three years...”

Zong Shou’s face froze in shock. Only a family with long history like them could possess such a technique.

He definitely couldn’t find it in the library in the future.

He also knew that the Battle of Wenshan was one of the most important battles during the Three Saint Emperor Era.

The rise of the Human race started in that era.

He knew that the battle was one that had covered the land in corpses, creating casualties numbering tens of millions.

However, when he heard Kong Yao’s description, he was still shocked at the scale of the technique!

Grade Nine cultivators could be considered the pillar of a sect. To sacrifice so many at once...

“The Cloud World can’t bring out ten thousand Grade Nine cultivators as sacrifice. Which means that Weihai is using ten million souls as a replacement?”

After he said this, Zong Shou couldn’t help but exhale.

He was at a total loss, not knowing if he was in a suitable state of mind to be driving the flying shuttle.

What should he do if it was really as Prince Jia Mingluo said?

Save them? He wasn’t so kind...

Those people were pitiful, but they weren’t under his rule. So what business did he have?

He would have to start a conflict with those three Huizhou Taoist Sects and Weihai if he wanted to save them.

Even before the Night Demon race arrived, they would be at war.

It would cause more Huizhou civilians to be suffer. It would also endanger the Gantian army.

So what could he do even if he went?

Was he going to confirm the effects of that formation?

Zong Shou’s mind wandered off as he pondered the problem before him.
