597 Heavens Get Murky, Earth Gets Dark (2/2)

...not ashamed to be listed with them but ashamed that his strength was far. He really couldn't accept it.

Thinking about it, his expression slowly turned back to normal.

Blaming himself and feeling sad about it now, what was the point?

Those ambitions, what grand plans he had were all tossed to the side in his mind.

What he wanted to do now was to catch up to these few people!

This was the so-called waking up from shame! In his future, there might be a chance for him to stand on the same level as these few people...

\”Senior Master Zifang, the universe creation records have appeared. Didn't you say it was helpful to us? Why are you standing there and not fighting for it?\”

Standing to the side of the seven of them clashing, Jingyin's eyes developed a weird expression. The sword intent entangled, flames covering the land.

That was the first time she realized that sometimes she was quite bad. Knowing that Zifang was already planning on retreating, she still asked those words.

Who asked that fellow to have bad intentions to try to force words out of her.

Zifang's expression turned bitter and forced a smile, \”I have no affinity with this time, it is better not to want it. Our Buddhist faction doesn't like to fight. Since they want it, then they can have it.\”

She glanced at Jingyin, thinking that this brat was getting out of hand.

With those people there, how could he fight? Not mentioning Zong Shou and Shui Lingbo, just Jueyu and Yuan Wushang were too much for him to handle. He would have to already go all out.

Fight? What did he have to be able to fight with them for that?

She knew that he was already a little afraid but still decided to mention it.

Thinking about that, he sighed, \”I heard how strong those three overlord experts were; unparalleled, invincible, unrivaled. Looking at Zong Shou, it seems like Xiang King, 10,000 years ago, was around the same. Let's hope the Buddha blesses us, with these few people here the world wouldn't be able to find peace...\”

Jingyin covered her mouth and laughed. However, suddenly her expression turned serious.

...this Zong Shou was so strong, didn't that mean that it was really difficult for her to unlock the seed cauldron lock between them?

Finding it slightly tough, Jingyin looked around.

\”Speaking of which, where is the corpse of Xiang King? Disciple still hadn't noticed it!\”

Within the entire underground lake, from the start, she didn't see any traces of the Xiangchu overlord.

The changes Zifang was worried about naturally didn't occur too.

Jingyin felt slightly uneasy, looking around. Then she turned her gaze back towards the yellow gold high platform. She had a startled expression on her face.

\”Ah?\” she couldn't help but exclaim.

It wasn't that she finally noticed the Xiang King whom she didn't find any traces of.

But the Avici Throne which had swallowed several Grade Nine cultivators and didn't move, suddenly, at this moment, appeared to have some movement.

It slowly rose from the high platform, turning into a bright eye before catching golden light and slowly flying towards Zong Shou.

Zifang shifted his eyes as he heard that, looking out towards Zong Shou's field of sight.

Moments later, he also had a weird expression on his face.

\”It is Zong Shou!\”

The golden light flew toward where Zong Shou was standing.

Just now he had already deduced it. Avici Throne and Zong Shou's aura didn't match.

He was being totally rejected by this top Spiritual Artifact.

At that time he even heaved a sigh of relief because of it.

However, why in this short time was there such an unexpected change?

He remembered that before the Avici Throne disappeared, it once had near-infinite vital energy and Essence energy.

At this moment, it was obviously not at the stage where it was needed. It could last for a few thousand years and it wouldn't be a problem. It shouldn't have fallen and been so eager to select a master...

Jingyin's petite face was filled with shock. Zifang thought about it for a moment, being slightly distracted, \”Is it a Spiritual item choosing a master? No wonder no wonder. The first owner of this item was Shilong. The way it did things followed the domineering path. Its second master was Xiang King, whose strength could lift mountains...\”

...to think it would bother to choose normal people! Spiritual Artifacts had their own sentience and would choose their own master.

However, at this moment Zong Shou, using one man and one sword, fought intensely. That invincible aura was like Xiang King in the past!

The more his aura charged toward the clouds, the more his strength pressured all of them, the more that Avici Throne would recognize him...

Jingyin was enlightened but he also felt extremely terrified. She could already understand the meaning of Zifang's words.

It wasn't even at the start of the spiritual wave, how did such a person appear in the world?

She kept silent whilst Zhao Yanran in the distance laughed out, \”Interesting! Does this Avici Throne really think that Zong Shou could compare to the Xiangchu overlord ten thousand years ago?\”

The moment those words were spoken, the surrounding became totally silent.

They were shocked, following which Zhao Yanran scolded, \”Such a lazy and immoral kid, how is he similar to the overlord? Aren't they totally different?\”

This fellow couldn't even be compared to one finger of Xiang King! He couldn't even be compared to a strand of hair.
