Chapter 729 - Twelve Silver Ants

Chapter 729: Twelve Silver Ants

A Heavy Earth Pearl wasn’t worth much to Zong Shou. Anyways the little puppy found it itself so he didn’t bother. He would just pay attention to changes in the future.

He reached out with his hand and collected all the remaining riches of Yugang Mountain.

Although half of it had disappeared with many mind stones and herbs were wiped out, there were still many remaining.

Ping An Temple’s treasury was unharmed. The collections from the other five sects were mostly at the foot of the mountain.

His biggest gains were those Heaven and Earth Bags.

Along with the Spirit Realm True Martial Swordsmen, forty Spirit Realm experts fell here.

There was a total of seven thousand Grade-9 mind stones here. There were even six hundred fifty Low Xuan Grade ones.

These mind stones were enough for him to use the Book of Eon for twenty years.

As expected, killing and pillaging was the fastest way to get money.

There were uncountable amounts of spiritual herbs and pills. There were also many Magical and Spiritual Artifacts. Unfortunately, Zong Shou couldn’t use them. He could only pile them together and bring them back to Gantian for Yiren to deal with it.

At this moment, Hanxi was still showing no signs of breaking out of the cocoon.

Zong Shou decides to choose a place nearby to meditate and heal up his injuries.

He had suffered many injuries when he was surrounded and attacked just now.

He slashed out several swords, especially the last one which killed Wu Xu. Although he wasn’t hurt, his chakra meridians were in a mess after carrying such a huge amount of true qi and essence energy.

Although Wu Xu died, he didn’t feel good at all. He lost ten years of lifespan and the situation within his chakra meridians also had to be managed carefully. If he fought with others he would at least be at a twenty percent disadvantage.

However, when Zong Shou tried to recover his meridians, he was stunned.

The recovery speed was much faster than he expected. With just one thought, it could heal.

He felt a weird power which was helping him recover his body.

Until a short while later, he finally had a rough idea.

“Is this God Power?”

After slaying the three God Spirit Incarnations, he used the Heaven Swallowing Energy Conversion Technique to swallow the God Power from the three incarnations.

Ten percent turned into true qi whilst the rest scattered around his body after he used the Purify talisman to purify it.

Although Zong Shou found it weird but he didn’t mind much.

Only now did he know that the effects of the power of the God Spirit were much more effective for him than he expected.

“Strengthening the body? This God Power actually has such an ability…”

Looking closely, a weird expression appeared on his face.

He could, in fact, feel that his physical body was much stronger. All in all, it might not mean much but at his stage when he reached the peak of Grade-9, even a bit of progress was a huge surprise.

If he wasn’t wrong, there was an enormous amount of God Power hiding in his body.

Only a small portion was at work. The rest needed much more time to merge into his body.

When he absorbed it, his bodily strength could rise by one to two grades.

At this moment he really wished that the Daoling Vast Habitat has sent more God Spirits over to kill him.

He found it weird. This God Power could help him strengthen his body, but why did Hanxi need it?

One must know that without using the Heaven Swallowing Energy Conversion Technique to clean the energy, normal beasts and cultivators wouldn’t be able to use it.

After he came back to his senses it was already morning. He used pills to adjust his body, the hidden injuries were all being temporarily suppressed.

The nearby cocoon was nearly double the size and finally had some movement.

After shaking, the six Saint Fire Silver Ants were first to break out.

Zong Shou’s brow rose. He could sense the changes to the six of them.

They weren’t Grade-9 but Quasi-Spirit Realm like those True Martial Swordsmen!

Their speeds were much quicker, their armor and knife arms were also strengthened.

However, after the sixth. it didn’t stop.

Seven, eight, eleven, twelve…

Until the twelve one flew out from the cacoon did it finally stop.

The silver threads all constricted and retracted. In just a moment Hanxi appeared in front of him.

Its body didn’t have many changes, just its silver armor became more bright and beautiful. The Saint Flame became much purer…

Zong Shou also comprehended something. The use of the God Power was to strengthen the Saint Fire.

…Absorbing the power stored in three statues, it produced six soldier ants which could fight with Spirit Realm experts.

Hanxi flapped its wings and came in front of him. It first stared at him with a knife-like gaze.

Zong Shou frowned and right as he was about to use Intent to suppress it, he didn’t feel much arrogance from it.

As expected, Hanxi bowed and lowered its head. The other twelve ants, as well as the vengeful energy of the place, circled and danced around him in joy. Like many teen girls dancing and singing as they flapped their six wings, giving off small bits of starlight.

Zong Shou was startled, was it yielding to him and recognising him? Was it due to him killing ten thousand people here today?

He scoffed and stopped bothering about it. Natural Variants couldn’t be trusted. Even if it yielded to him now, it might not be the case in the future.

He also felt disdained about using killing to obtain the happiness and love of this protector beast.

This matter had ended. Right as he was about to leave, he sensed something and looked towards the south.

He felt hard to grasp aura which was spying on him a hundred miles out.

“It’s her?”

Zong Shou’s brow rose. He had let the woman go last time and she actually ran to him this time.

This was a rare chance. Only he didn’t have much time to bother today.

To kill her would take one to two days of work.

He balanced the pros and cons before laughing coldly. He waved his sleeves and a silver knife glow shot out, breaking the space and striking a hundred miles out.

After the knife shot out, he stopped bothering. He stepped into the air and in a moment, he disappeared from the peak.

He chose to fly west, not east, to get back to Gantian Mountain.

Seventy thousand disciples, forty Spirit Realm, and one Wu Xu. This was far from enough to calm his hateful emotions and heart.

For the death of the million, he wanted the Taoist Faction to feel total pain.

Tooth for tooth! Blood for blood!

※※※※

A hundred miles out, a silver light pierced through the air. With a clang, it smashed the stone around and caused the energy to surge.

A mirror was smashed to pieces. Naturally, the projection within had disappeared.

Lianer had long retreated to a thousand feet away, his heart was still filled with fear.

Only on closer look did he know that it was a silver flying knife.

In that instance when the knife flew over, he thought that he would definitely die.

“This person is really a Death Star descending. How did such a monster appear right as the Spiritual Wave started…”

Thinking back to the battle yesterday, Lianer was still shocked.

“Someone like Wu Xu was actually killed in one shot! He actually dared to kill the Daoling Palace Head!”

In his previous life, he wasn’t called Lianer. In the Cloud World, he was also quite famous.

However, it was much worse off then Wu Xu. Thinking back to that sword which wiped him out, Lianer felt a chill down his spine.

The three of them came here to follow Zong Shou to see if they could obtain any benefits.

Zong Shou wiped out those twenty-five sects. Common People Path and Demon Path both obtained many mines.

The three of them also collected much Death Energy.

Especially from the death of those high grade cultivators who had the thickest Death Energy.

They wanted to use Gong Xinran’s connection to her soul to follow.

However last night they were attracted by the battle and got close.

Which was why they were able to see that Heaven and Earth Shocking, god-like sword.

Following which they didn’t dare to even come out, hiding their aura, fearing that Zong Shou would notice them.

As for the mirror, it cast a Death Image Spirit Viewing Technique. They didn’t dare to directly spy on him.

As they didn’t even dare spread out their spiritual sense which was why they could only use that technique to sense the changes in spiritual energy all over to deduce what was going on nearby.

In case Zong Shou suddenly charged over and they didn’t feel anything.

Who knew that even though they were so careful, they were still found out in the end.

Luckily this Monster King had no intentions to create problems for them. After a knife, he left the mountain.

Looking at the silver knife, after landing, a noise spread out.

To normal people, it was just a normal ring. To cultivators, it had a rhythmic message. Listening closely it was actually Zong Shou warning them.

“I will let you off for today. If you dare to mess up the human world you will suffer consequences..”

Hearing that, Lianer was so furious his body shook.

“Preposterous! What does Zong Shou think you and I are? Preposterous! If you regain your strength how could that fellow fight you? Just one finger and you can crush him!”

Gong Xinran was calm and quiet, who knows what she was thinking. Rage also appeared in her eyes but that followed up by helplessness.

Lianer’s tone changed, “However Your Highness, as they say, it isn’t too late to take revenge after ten years. It is not worth arguing with him. When I was alive in this world, the North Cloud Continent was where martial cultivation was the strongest. Why not head there?”

Gong Xinran grinned and didn’t reply, looking towards Gu Mie, “What does Brother Gu think?”

A flame flashed in his eyes, “We can’t take him head on! Let’s give up on our previous plans!”

His tone was filled with slight fear.

When Gong Xinran heard that, she sighed out leisurely. Then she nodded her head, extremely unwillingly.

She also didn’t want to receive that sword.
