499 Pinnacle Space Dome Formation (1/2)

2 days later, Zong Shou stepped on top of the cloud ocean and looked out to the distance.

In front of him was an island within the clouds, around a hundred thousand feet wide, standing high above. Even the highest part of this island had a rugged landscape.

Zong Yuan and Ruoshui were both silent, they were already used to listening to Zong Shou's orders. They knew that their ruler definitely had his reasons. He wouldn't run all the way here for no reason.

If he could tell the reason to them then he naturally would.

Zong Shou looked at it for a moment before he casted a golden talisman that flew into the depths of the cave.

Following which, he waited with his arms by his side. Maybe he was a little impatient since he turned around and asked, ”Have you all heard of the Fuling Sect?”

Zong Yuan and Ruoshui exchanged glances with one another, a questioning gaze appearing in their eyes.

However, It was still the former who spoke, ”I have heard about it! In our Donglin Cloud Continent, 300 years ago it was a newly rising sect who was the best at talismans. I heard that they obtained an ancient talisman path ancestor legacy. The talismans created by these sect disciples were 30% stronger than normal spirit masters. Their spells were also really amazing. 20 years ago I heard that they were gathering spiritual veins in the east of the cloud continent. In the end, they angered the donglin sects who wiped them all out…”

It was that battle that caused many powers of the Donglin Cloud Continent to be wiped out by half. The remaining cities also suffered heavy losses.

If it wasn't the case, there wouldn't be a chance for Gantian Mountain to rise up. Zong Yuan was born during the year when the Fuling Sect was destroyed, this was why he remembered it clearly.

”The entire sect was wiped out? They missed out on a few of them. Some of those bastards are hiding here…”

Zong Shou shook his head slightly. A moment later two robed old men flew out from one of the caves of the island.

They were both around 65 and had hale, hearty appearances. Their eyes were filled with wariness and questioning gazes.

Ruoshui and Zong Yuan were both shocked, similarly, they were wary. These two people actually came out as souls forming into bodies.

To be able to form a true image, they were at least grade-9!

Following which, they felt that it wasn't right. Their soul power was a little obscure, it was actually showing signs of being unstable.

They thought back to what Zong Shou said as well as the environment here, understanding right away.

Cultivators who went against the heavens were often the most resilient people. Some people as sick as Zong Shou would spend their days no different from masochists.

However, these people were often the most fragile ones. Without enough spiritual energy to nourish them, unless they stepped through the celestial path and became self-sufficient, they wouldn't be able to avoid their cultivation from being unstable and prevent their grades from dropping.

Although the spiritual energy here was thick, to true image grade spirit masters, it was the same as having nothing at all.

”Who are the four of you? How did you find this place?”

Zong Shou smiled. Around this island, there was a pretty large spiritual formation that could make one subconsciously go around this place. Even a grade-9 expert who didn't know how to break this spell would randomly spin around like a headless fly.

However, he obviously wouldn't say that he knew this place so well. Because in the god-emperor game, he often came here to do quests to raise his reputation in the Fuling Sect to the point that they would worship him and that they would go against Lingyun Sect…

Speaking of which, about his achievements in the talisman path, a portion of it was due to this Fuling Sect.

”The 2 of you are the Fuling Sect Mingdu and Liehe elders?”

When he said those words, the two old men's eyes turned cold, revealing killing intent.

Zong Shou didn't care at all, he continued talking word by word, ”I am Zong Shou, Gantian Mountain's Zong Shou!”

Both Mingdu and Liehe were startled, they exchanged glances with one another. The questioning look in their eyes got even thicker.

Zong Shou's lips slowly curled up. As expected the remaining people of the Fuling Sect, they weren't trapped here and are oblivious to the outside world. There were still disciples who walked around the Donglin Cloud Continent.

If not, how would they know of his name?

”So it is the Gantian Mountain monster king, dragon shadow old man's student. I am Mingdu, sorry for being impolite!”

Cupping his fists, Mingdu still had a distant and wary look in his eyes, ”Why did your highness come over?”

”I am here to recruit people.”

He didn't beat around the bush at all. Zong Shou looked at the small island in the distance, ”The spiritual energy here is just 6 times that of normal. With both your strengths, you definitely can find a better place. Are you all hiding here to avoid the Lingyun and other sects from finding and killing you? If the two of you can't find a way to delay or find a suitable cultivation land, in 7 years your realm your drop.”

The two grade-9 spirit masters who were at the opposite side of him had their faces turn ashen white. Zong Shou smiled, ”Are the two of you willing to serve Gantian Mountain City?”

Mingdu and Liehe's brows furrowed. After feeling slightly delighted, they became careful. After a short while, Liehe hesitated as he said, ”I heard that recently, the Donglin Cloud Continent is about to have war. The East of Donglin has the Thousand City Alliance with tens of millions of troops and also the support of many Donglin Sects. As for your Gantian Mountain, you broke your own arms. The conflict will probably occur within a few months.”

”If not for war starting, why would I come to find the both of you?”

This sentence caused both of them to choke. A sharp glow appeared in his eyes as he looked over, ”Rather than say that our opponent is the Thousand City Alliance, it is instead the Donglin sects. Are the two of you willing to join us?”

Mingdu felt really weird, his hair was standing on its ends under the forceful and suppressing gaze.
