Chapter 702: Vast Habitat Soul Lamp

“…Si! How domineering…”

Gong Xinran’s tomb was not far away from Demon Corpse Mountain. There were just several hundred miles between the two.

Naturally, they could see and hear what was happening around there.

The giant mountain body was broken by a sword. It had already weakened due to the Death Gate battle, causing the Alien Race Demons to appear to be retracting and not daring to show their faces.

Suchen’s eyes squinted and then he laughed.

“As expected from the top swordsman of the generation. With that sword, that Demon below would need to settle down for a few more years, to heal up his injuries before he comes out…”

Out of those few Experts in the underground lake battle, apart from Spiritual Sword Ruotao, Zong Shou had the most peaceful and gentle personality.

Even Leidong who was the weakest was more arrogant than Zong Shou.

In Suchen’s eyes, to have such a domineering spirit, no wonder he was unrivaled in the Cloud World…

Bizhu didn’t worry about his disciple. After exchanging glances with Bai Ruo, they both felt speechless.

They weren’t shocked because of that sword. Zong Shou fought both Lianer and Gu Mie, then he defeated Gong Xinran. If not for that Netherworld Emperor acting, this Netherworld Princess was going to fall on the same day that she revived.

One could see how strong his sword skills were.

Bai Ruo kept silent for a Long while before opening his mouth, “Xuwen has already fallen…”

They could clearly see what had happened on Demon Corpse Mountain. Naturally, they could sense the death of a Spirit Realm Expert a few hundred miles away.

However, they didn’t know the reason, just that his aura suddenly disappeared.

A moment ago, he was still acting so arrogantly and casually in front of them, his words were so sharp. A moment later, he had already died.

This was something common in the Cultivation World. Although he was weaker than them, he was still quite strong, gaining the adoration of Daoling Vast Habitat.

This was why they felt emotional about it.

When he heard this, Bizhu laughed bitterly and spoke, “This Ruler is often really decisive when he chooses to kill. We could see that from when he wiped out the Mysterious Cloud Spirit Sect.”

Actually, one should say that he was a vicious person…

Bai Ruo was in deep thought once more.

Bizhu just thought about it for just a moment and knew what Bai Ruo was thinking about, he smiled, “Actually Bai Ruo doesn’t need to hesitate so much about it. Just don’t go against your conscience and it is fine. Why do you need to care about anything else?”

Bai Ruo shook his head. How would one’s conscience easily solve the problems of the world?

As the leader of a Sect, one couldn’t be so casual.

“Brother Bi allow me to ask, is your Sword Sect really going to interfere in the battle between Gantian Mountain and Daoling Vast Habitat?”

Bizhu was startled and then he started laughing, “My Sword Sect doesn’t want to step into murky waters. It isn’t that we don’t want to help Zong Shou, but that there is too much at stake. Two factions fighting would result in the death of billions. We need to be really careful. It would be simple if it was just my Hanshan. Wujue Villa and my Hanshan have obtained several mines in Huizhou so we not only helped them for friendship, but also for our interests…”

Bai Ruo nodded slightly, that was what he guessed. With Sword Sect’s standpoint, they were mostly neutral and would help Zong Shou restrict a portion of the Taoist Sect’s strength.

Out of the few factions, only the Sword Sect was a relatively newer one. Whilst they rose up quickly, they had many conflicts with the other three factions.

Moreover, the Sword Sect was split out from the Taoist Faction which was why the relationship between the two was the worst.

Once there was a spark, a huge war could easily break out.

Only Common People’s Path didn’t fear going head-on against the Taoist Faction.

Their Haoxuan Sect was another case. Within the sect, there were many people who were influenced by the Central Continent Confucians and were unwilling to get too close with Gantian Mountain, even seeing them as enemies.

He could only help in the dark. Even then, there were many people who gossiped in the Sect. They forgot all about how Zong Shou allowed them to open a school in Donglin.

How was he a person who would do things for personal gain?

Right as he was feeling his head hurt, a person walked over. It was Zifang who had helped settle those injured fellow Sect Cultivators.

“Absolute Beginning Ancient Buddha!”

After chanting a Buddhist title, Zifang bowed, his eyes filled with curiosity.

“Zifang has something to ask you two Sect Leaders!”

Bizhu and Bai Ruo both greeted. This Zifang was really direct, asking right away.

“Why aren’t the two of you worried about this Monster King? Donglin Cloud Continent isn’t wider than Great Shang and doesn’t get the luck of the Cloud World. Gantian Mountain is so secluded, although it has two Saint Realm Experts as a shield, Daoling Vast Habitat could still wipe them out. Don’t you feel that the Ruler’s plan to wipe out Taoism is too arrogant? Isn’t he asking for die?”

Although he helped Zong Shou because of Zhao Yanran, he admired the Ruler so he was worried.

If it was him who controlled the Central Continent, then a few thousand years ago his Buddhist Faction wouldn’t have faced such a calamity.

When Bizhu and Bai Ruo heard this, they exchanged weird glances, not knowing how to explain it.

Bizhu knew that Zong Shou was Tanqiu. Bai Ruo could also guess this.

Did they have to directly tell him that Zong Shou’s shield was Common People’s Path?

10,000 years ago a faction that could face the few others alone… Naturally, now it didn’t fear Taoism.

Naturally, Zong Shou didn’t fear this battle at all.

At the same time, in a Spiritual River outside of the Cloud World, within Daoling Vast Habitat.

Wu Xu who was sitting on a futon suddenly exclaimed and the scripture in his hand was smashed into pieces.

He then frowned and looked toward the side.

This place was the cultivation room of the Daoling Palace Head. It wasn’t used for cultivation but to handle Sect matters.

Numerous candles were lit up around, there were close to 10,000 flames.

These were soul lamps, all Grade-7 and above whose souls turned to Yang had the rights to leave a lamp here.

Even if their soul was wiped out, they would leave a bit of their soul here. The souls would nourish for tens of thousands of years and they might have a chance to reincarnate and revive.

Some of the ones with deep foundations who contributed greatly to the Sect would even be directly accepted into the Sect by the Vast Habitat.

It couldn’t compare to the Mysterious Golden Life Book of the Common People’s Path, but it could spread goodwill.

This was why this was a hugely important area for the Daoling Vast Habitat.

Not just the Vast Habitat, but the sects under them would occasionally use it.

Suddenly, a soul lamp on the left side dimmed and the shaking flame was close to extinguishing.

Wu Xu wouldn’t bother if it was anyone else. However, the name under it was Xuwen…

The same generation as him but 100 years older, Xuwen whose strength had reached High Spirit Realm!
