1000 Discouraged (2/2)

He was really clear that the Cloud World was just half a step away from chaos. Only a spark was needed.

For Qiu Wei to have such foresight to plan ahead, that made him really happy.

They had no choice but to temporarily focus on the military…

”The expansion plan is feasible! However, the details need to be discussed.”

After Zong Shou said this, he threw a jade pendant to Hu Zhongyuan. ”Take this item to see Yiren and she will arrange it.”

Hu Zhongyuan's face was filled with inexpressible joy and he knew that this matter was already settled.

In Meeting Hall matters, Zong Shou could decide a third of things.

This was also the reason why Qiu Wei told him to come over.

After Zong Shou left, the one who was in charge of the meetings was Xuanyuan Yiren, who was devoted to pill refining and pretty much never asked about governance.

To be able to have this support, the expansion plan would definitely not be stopped anymore.

He then asked about the situation within the Cloud World and knew that apart from Central Cloud Continent where there were still some rebellions in the south, there were basically no other military operations.

Even in South Wind Cloud Continent, due to the proper rule of Great Gan and the relaxed taxes, the situation there had slowly calmed down.

For now, there were no worries there. As such Zong Shou abandoned Hu Zhongyuan in the World River while he drove the Royal Demon God Shuttle and left. He flew while praising.

”Father really wasn't wrong about Zong Yuan…”

While everyone was taking big strides to enter Spirit Realm, only Zong Yuan was patient enough to stop himself and allow others to chase up and overtake him.

He improved his spiritual cultivation step by step and in a few years he managed to reach Grade Nine.

Then, during a war, he grasped Spirit and Martial Arts Merger, using that to break into Spirit Realm in one go.

Although he was several years later than others, his potential was limitless.

At this moment, due to his accumulations, he was seeing huge improvements.

Compared to him, although the other people were improving quickly, they lost their luster.

The Royal Demon God Shuttle had already become Zong Shou's symbol. After he got close to the Cloud World, he didn't dare to use it anymore. He rode a sword and changed into Tanqiu.

The Magical Treasure that Wei Xu gave to him was already too weak.

However, now Zong Shou himself was a master of illusions. He had the Sky Fox abilities and the Blood Eyes illusionary techniques and also the Illusionary Heart Mirror.

After changing his looks, if an End Realm Saint Venerable wasn't paying attention, he might not be able to find out.

The moment he got slightly closer to the Cloud World, he could sense dozens of Spiritual Senses sweeping around him.

After confirming his identity, a portion of them retracted, but there was still a portion that wrapped around him.

Most of them were cold and evil and he could also sense the pity and mocking intents from some of them.

Zong Shou didn't worry about any of them and headed toward the Common People's Vast Habitat.

”Since Senior Master Yuanjing and Fanmeng have already returned back to the Cloud World, then that brat should be back right? Not seeing her for a few years, I really miss her…”

The person he missed was Su Chuxue. Without this brat by his side to tease and mock, he felt like he had lost a huge joy in is life.

When he reached the area around the Vast Habitat, he could sense the tense atmosphere all around.

All the restrictions and formations were opened up. Outside, there were also many cultivators patrolling.

Even Zong Shou was stopped outside of the restrictions.

Luckily, there were many people who still recognized the Common People's Palace First Seat. After confirming he wasn't a fake, they let him through.

When Zong Shou was about to step in, a few people were waiting for him outside.

Two of them were Zhao Yanran and Xuan Yunlan who returned before him

The other three, one was Hanfang whose white hair had now changed into black and was now brimming with life.

It was obvious that he had passed his tribulation and was already in the Saint Realm. One of them was the current Common People's Path head, the Revered One Wei Xu. The last one was Mingyu who he had seen before.

Three Saint Realm Venerables here, the Revered One personally welcoming, this was already the highest treatment.

”Junior Brother, you really shouldn't return this time!”

When Zong Shou arrived, Wei Xu turned around and walked along with him, his expression was filled with unhappiness.

”Your thoughts are good and I am really grateful. However, there is no need to. Yuanlian World is the only way out for Common People's Path and we need you to take care of us, nothing can go wrong. Why did you have to enter this storm now?”

Zong Shou frowned when he heard this. Was Wei Xu really so discouraged?

How could he even go through his tribulation like that?

He was frustrated and his tone also turned cold.

”Do you have no confidence at all? You don't even have the courage to fight? You have given up”

Wei Xu was stunned when he heard this and he looked closely at Zong Shou.
