582 Nine Meridian Direct Race (1/2)

When that blood-light entered, a portion directly merged into his body. Another portion merged into his soul.

Zong Shou originally wanted to try to use the Heaven Swallowing Energy Conversion Method to purify and absorb it, but the moment he activated it he noticed that the essence blood was totally pure, there was also none of the remnant consciousness of the Water Qilin.

Moreover, this Qilin seemed afraid that he couldn't take it, sealing up a large portion of it, coinciding with his current cultivation realm.

The moment it entered his body, his body and soul felt a lot more refreshed. Almost instantly, his burning body was able to calm down in just a few breaths.

Zong Sou couldn't help but exhale, his senses relaxing and knew that a large part of his crisis had been solved. At least he wouldn't die from his body imploding.

He thought back to that Water Qilin and opened his eyes, only to see that a blood colored hole appeared at its brows. It was totally silent as it sank down into the depths of the water.

The blue veil on the outer layer of this area was slowly falling apart. The remaining life force of that Water Qilin had already totally disappeared.

That little puppy first looked towards Zong Shou with a lost expression, then doubtfully looked behind him, at the slowly freezing body of its father. It seemed to realize something, after being stunned it gave out a tragic roar.

Tanqiu leisurely sighed as he waved his sleeves. All the evil beings charging over within hundreds of miles were instantly wiped out.

\”I hope that you won't fail its sacrifice for you today, and you treat its kid well!\”

Seeing Zong Shou's cold and solemn face nodding, Tanqiu smiled, \”You have always kept to your word, that Water Qilin has chosen the right person. Oh right, it should begin soon right? One bloodline, two nine tails, bloodline stabilizing. You race people are really fortunate. From today on, you all can be called the Eight Tail Zong Family. If father and son can work harder and step into the Saint Realm, then your children will be the Sky Fox imperial race...\”

Zong Shou was stunned this time, then understood what this Tanqiu meant.

With the life core and Essence blood mark of the water Qilin to balance the Sky Burning Flame bloodline of the Lu family, his Sky Fox blood had totally lost its restriction and instantly started to purify and rise in quality.

The bones in his body continuously exploded and cracked, like there was something about to burst out. In the depths of his flesh and bone, there was a huge change making his muscles continuously twist.

This was pain he had never felt in his entire life, spreading all over his body.

Even before, when the Sky Burning Flame was consuming his body, couldn't be compared to this.

Tanqiu's lips curled up, disdain filled with shock.

He was obviously dying with pain, but he still wanted to hold on? Why couldn't he just directly go unconscious? To think this fellow could actually bear with it, he was really as determined and strong as steel...

The strongest kind, unbreakable and couldn't be destroyed...

His body flashed and left his original spot. When he appeared he was right in front of Zong Shou, tapping the center of his brow, very simply causing him to fall unconscious. He gently hugged the fallen body in his arms.

Gantian Mountain City…

Zong Ling was frowning as he rode his horse back home.

It wasn't his own residence, but the one belonging to the race. It was south of Gantian Mountain, where most of the Zong family people lived.

Since Zong Shou rebuilt the Gantian Zong family, most of the people had moved out.

It wasn't them being unhappy towards Zong Shou, but most of them used the benefits given every year, as well as the martial arts schools Zong Shou opened to everyone, to have attainments in the martial paths and spiritual cultivation.

They didn't need to rely on the Zong family to raise them, and they could live really well on their own. Now, only when they prayed to the race ancestors every year would everyone in the Zong family gather together.

Although they had set up another race, they couldn't just toss aside the dead ancestors and not bother.

Actually apart from the race's rules changing, such that direct and branch members could have a fair competition, nothing else had changed.

Today, things were slightly different. Zong Ling frowned as he looked at the invitation in his hand. It came from the ancestral hall of the race, gathering all Zong family race members of Gantian Mountain to discuss matters.

...it was only the start of winter, and was far from the race-worshipping time, so what did they have to discuss? Coincidentally, Zong Shou wasn't in the city.

He originally didn't want to go and bother. However, thinking about it carefully, he decided to take a look.

If they had bad intentions and did anything harmful to the ruler, he could suppress it before Zong Shou felt annoyed when he found out.

Those few Zong family direct bloodline elders and young kids, wasn't it like that before?

The Zong family race had never been so unified, ever since the ruler united Donglin. Especially the younger generation, the ones who had just grown up were filled with great respect for Zong Shou.
