690 Country Doesn’t Have Good Officials (1/2)

He temporarily couldn't use the three types of laws together but he could split them up.

The Time Knife and Cause and Effect Knife adding in the power of Fate, any would be enough to kill a Heaven Realm expert.

He was confident that if Jia Mingluo was still alive, one knife would be able to cause heavy injuries or even kill him right away.

Even if he could only shoot out three a day, it was already really amazing.

”A full twelve years. Apart from three years of body training, one year of comprehending the Seven Star Xuan Lightning Book, the rest were used on the Cause and Effect laws and Six God Defensive Knife Technique. It was worth it...”

Zong Shou used five years to barely understand the Cause and Effect Theory that Aokun left him. He then used three years on the knife.

At this moment, the eighteen talismans in his Soul Ocean were all complete.

Apart from the original sixteen, there were two more Cause and Effects.

It was still at the True Spiritual Talisman level and was even a little lacking but it caused his soul to enter the Grade-9 Full Realm.

His Soul Power was like an ocean, extremely vast.

However, in comparison his Martial Path Cultivation was a little quicker. Using the Mysterious Black Iron Cinnabar to train his body, in just three years he let it reach its peak. He also merged the final four Heaven Veins and entered the peak of Grade-9.

In the remaining few years, although he spent most of his time comprehending the Cause and Effect Theory left by Aokun, he also didn't stop his own Martial Path. He grounded the various Chakra Meridians and acupoints, nourishing his energy. Step by step, he pushed his body and True Qi to a perfect level.

After he reached this step, he finally understood why there were so many Grade-9 Experts who had enough strength, but they dragged on at this realm.

They were afraid that their cultivation foundations weren't complete and firm enough which would affect future cultivation.

Even some small flaws couldn't be tolerated.

Zong Shou was the same, he wished that he could have more time.

However, his lifespan was about used up and he didn't have any more Mind Stones for the Book of Eon to consume.

His foundations were already really firm. It would take another eight years to improve another step which wasn't worth it.

Apart from that, the Spiritual Wave was already close, it would explode at most within a year and a half.

The Cloud World could even support Spirit Realm Experts now.

If he didn't break through his Heaven Barrier and push his cultivation to Spirit Realm, it would be tougher in the future.

If there was no need, he really didn't want to rely on the power of the Common People's Path.

Outside of the stone hall, there was a bell ringing sound.

Zong Shou's brow rose and he knew that the time had arrived for the court assembly to start.

Every time, his father would prepare to discuss administrative matters with the subjects at Qingzheng Hall.

However, Zong Shou removed that rule long ago.

Although he didn't disregard everything, he had already spent a full three months in this newly created cultivation room.

In other words, he didn't do anything in these three months.

At this time, he also didn't plan to bother, especially today he wasn't willing.

Zong Shou quietly sat at the middle of the stone hall and entered deep thought.

His brow locked. A moment later, he made his mind up and relaxed.

”Forget it! One must learn to give something up to gain something. Although this True Spiritual Talisman is good for me, it can't be compared to the path of Destiny. Since that's the case, why am I still hesitating...”

With a thought, the Spirit Talisman instantly exploded, turning into numerous fragments!

However, right as those broken runes were about to melt into his Soul Ocean, the Yin and Yang talismans suddenly shone and sucked them all.

Zong Shou was startled. This was a change he didn't expect in the past.

His brow rose as he looked on carefully. He felt that the two talismans didn't get stronger due to that and there wasn't anything inappropriate and as such, he didn't care much.

As expected, most of the laws in the world could be merged into the Yin and Yang laws.

If he knew that that was the case, he would have perfected that Spirit word more.

He was too anxious. Luckily, his foundations weren't damaged and they could recover in a short time.

In the next moment, with a slight thought of his, a change occured within his Soul Ocean.

A Destiny Talisman instantly formed and was added to those eighteen.

As the Spirit word was destroyed, the soul which was slighting damaged, instantly recovered to its peak like just now.

The Destiny and Luck words were opposite one another, the Soul Ocean was like a tsunami, charging all around and expanding outward.

After a moment, Zong Shou opened his eyes. There seemed to be lightning shining in his eyes which calmed down only a while later.

The forming of the Destiny word didn't cause a change in quality but he could feel that his control of Fate was much stronger.

In the past, he could only change a part of his future, but now he could even see the fate of the protector beasts beside him.

The scenes weren't clear and were always changing with many possibilities.

As expected, fate wasn't certain and it wasn't confirmed.

Zong Shou took several looks before he was able to accurately see a portion, he felt his lifespan was disappearing at a shocking rate.

He was shocked and immediately stopped. Following this, he laughed self-mockingly.
