507 Lightning Winged Dragon (1/2)
Zong Shou looked toward the layers upon layers of iron loops, he still had no idea how it worked and even had no plans to understand anything about it.
After taking a look at it, he walked out of the spell altar. He was really afraid that maybe for some reason, he would be teleported to another unopened world.
Moreover, he didn't have that much lifespan left that could be used up.
While traveling on the stone bridge which spanned the void, Zong Shou walked outwards. When he was about to step across this gate, he heard a light giggle.
”So that's the case... Unlimited light and endless darkness, the 'luck' word talisman. No wonder you could use the instrument. Interesting... Interesting... Within the cloud world, there is actually such a junior. Just grade-7 and you managed to witness the creation of a world, however, to you, who knows if it's a blessing or a curse? Good luck...”
Zong Shou was startled upon hearing the monologue. The voice came out so suddenly and it was just like it was right beside his ear.
Even after turning around to see the source of the sound, he found that there was no one. He even used his spiritual sense, but he found nothing at all.
Frowning, Zong Shou didn't hesitate to step out of the door. After looking back at the building, he was in deep thought.
The voice came really weirdly, was it the master of this stargazing tower? However, thankfully, it seems that it has no nefarious intentions.
He shook his head, Zong Shou could only place down his thoughts and questions for now. He took out a mirror while thinking to himself that since so much lifespan was sucked out of him, it was possible for him to have become an old man.
He wasn't happy to he had to act young sometimes, but he wasn't willing to become an old man yet.
After looking at the mirror, Zong Shou was startled. He was still had his extremely young face, there were no changes at all.
Zong Shou looked at it for a moment and understood something. He sighed a little and facepalmed.
It was said that when one reached grade-7, a few with thick and deep roots could fix and maintain their looks. How could he forget this?
This meant to say that in the future, would he always look like a 16-year old?
This made him feel dejected for a moment, after which, Zong Shou forced out a drop of fresh blood. With a few incantations and spells, he saw a inch long light shining out.
This was a secret technique from the future to test a person's lifespan. Even normal commoners could use it.
The outcome of the test made even Zong Shou's eyes sharp.
”30 years…”
The consumption of the World Viewing Instrument actually reached 900 years. If he couldn't break through his current cultivation, then he only had 30 more years to live.
His eyes remained shining as he sighed, clearly not bothering much about it.
What made him truly depressed was that he spent at least 7 days in the instrument. The Dragon Hall opened on the first day and closed on the third.
This meant that the current Dragon Hall was already closed, this gave him a really big headache.
Also, within his mind, there were still piercing pains throbbing within, his consciousness was a little unclear. He had consumed too much effort in the instrument, no matter which spiritual pill he used, it didn't help him recover.
While walking down the stone stairs step by step, Zong Shou was suddenly startled. This was because he was able to see that on the side of the Energy Accumulation Fountain, Zong Yuan, Ruoshui and the Ye sisters were still beside the pond. The group also looking over at him with a shocked expression.
Zong Shou flew over with many doubts in his mind. Right as he was about to ask them why they haven't left yet. He saw that the Lightning Winged Flood Dragon and the seven cocoons were still in the depths of the pond. He changed his words, ”How long did I leave for? What's the time now?”
”What do you mean? We just saw you walk away for a moment and for some reason, disappear for a breath before finally appearing and then walking back.”
Ye Feishuang had a weird expression on her face. She noticed Zong Shou's ashen-white face, worry rose up in her eyes, ”Are you okay?”
Zong Shou was astonished once more. The 7 days that he experienced just now was a single breath? After turning around to look, the stone platform had disappeared, he was unable to see it anymore.
His brows furrowed. A moment later, his face recovered back to normal. He smiled, ”Why? Are you worried about me?”
”Huh? I'm afraid something would happen to you and we can't enter the legacy land!”
Ye Feishaung turned around as she scoffed with a disdainful look on her face, ”The Energy Accumulating Fountain can replace the Dragon Spirit Blood Birth pill. However, the legacy land has several good spiritual items. If we won't be able to take it, then it would be such a waste…”
On the side where Ye Feishuang was speaking, Ye Feihan was making a cute face at Zong Shou. She pointed at her lips and then her heart while shaking her hands to express that her sister didn't mean what she said.
Zong Shou laughed out loud. Only then did Ye Feishuang notice what was wrong, she turned around and stared furiously at her sister.
There was still close to 18 more hours until the Lightning Winged Flood dragon would transform into a dragon.
After which, Zong Shou sat down quietly and waited, surprisingly, he didn't try to comprehend anything nor meditate and cultivate.
He was completely relaxed, it was as if his breathing was non-existent. His consciousness was in a half-awake state, his thoughts had all stopped.
He was using this near hibernating style to pseudo-stop all signs of life to regain the spent effort from before.
After who knows how long had passed, a loud dragon's roar from within the pond charged at the clouds. Zong Shou opened his eyes and saw a dragon's shape filled with purple scales suddenly struggling out from within.
