1025 Forcefully Suppressing (1/2)

It made one's head hurt, those whose cultivation was slightly weaker felt like their souls were about to explode.

Luckily, a layer of golden light scattered out in time above that 33-layer Purple Gold Pagoda. Although it was unable to suppress that weird sound, it caused the 170,000 Common People's Path Cultivators to calm down and they weren't affected by that roar.

”Zong Shou, Tanqiu, what an Unlimited Beginning and End! You actually dare to plot against me? I will kill you, sooner or later, I will make you wish that you weren't born! I will make you feel so much pain that you won't want to leave…”

Taishi was obviously extremely furious, his tone was filled with exasperation, he shouted with all his might, totally unlike someone who was at the End Realm.

Zong Shou licked his lips. He felt a slight cold in his heart, Taishi probably hated him to the maximum.

However, the battle of the Dao Path was the toughest and most intense and it was one where one couldn't give in to another. His Law's foundations were Dao, but after all, this Dao existed between Beginning and End.

The former as the primary and the latter two as the support. Only then would his World Shocking Spirit Art have no weaknesses at all.

This was why he totally could not allow Taishi to step into half a step True Realm to try to start to merge his Dao to enter the True Realm, to occupy the Dao Path.

Naturally, he wasn't willing to give up such a good chance to create such a huge setback for Taishi.

He had always been decisive and when he saw a chance, even if he exposed his Unlimited Beginning and End Law, his identity as the Unlimited Beginning and End Buddha, he was going to delay Taishi's True Realm journey by 10,000 years!

He would rather be riddled with a whole bunch of problems than see this chance slip by right by his side.

After that sword, all the flesh and blood power he swallowed over from Kunming had exploded out and were all used up.

That blurred sword continued forwards but was forcefully stopped by a strong power. It stopped in mid-air and it showed signs of scattering.

Zong Shou knew that this was already the limit. He decisively gave up on the remnant Sword Energy, retracting a portion of the strength and using the less than ten percent Will of the Heavens remaining to grab the Black Qilin.

That Black Qilin continued to roar and struggle, its eyes filled with unwillingness.

Zong Shou scoffed coldly and with a thought, the Illusionary Heart Mirror appeared behind his head.

”Illusionary Heart Soul Settling!”

A huge amount of Spiritual Energy instantly broke through the layers of restrictions in the mirror.

A green light shone down onto the Black Qilin's body, and instantly, this peak Saint Realm God Beast was unable to move anymore.

The Vast Habitat shook once more. This time it was Taishi who struck the space pillars.

Under frustration and hate, his strength increased by a fold.

Zong Shou didn't worry about it. With the Ten Thousand Celestial Formation and Xiuguan there, the few End Realms in the World River wouldn't be able to crush the Vast Habitat.

He only needed to be more careful and not let this Black Qilin which was pretty much in his hands get saved by that Taishi.

Since he had completed his private matters, he was already satisfied. The public matters were next.

At this moment, his gaze shifted, finally toward Dong Zhongsu and Xingya.

The two of them were still unable to break free from within the Vast Habitat and at this moment their faces were all ashen white.

Dong Zhongsu stood in the air, his face turned green, ”Unruly Ruler! Do you want to be enemies with the Confucian Faction! Common People's Path is unruly and fake, your talks of equality go against the rights and beliefs of the Saints. Your Faction's teachings are the same as the demons and devils. Today, you help them to commit such a travesty, sooner or later, you will suffer for it! It wasn't easy for you to build up Great Gan, don't end up falling in just 20 years…”

Zong Shou's eyes flashed and then he shook his head, ”I have never felt that I was more noble and important than others. A Country needs laws and rights, but it shouldn't be so strict and only to restrict those people. The people are like water; they can carry the ship and they can also sink it. If one enacts a stupid plan and sees the people as grass and tools, would it really be appropriate? If one is suppressed and bullied, and can't live anymore, they would definitely revolt and want to a change!”

He continued, ”My heart can accept the Common People's Path, I can accept the 100 schools of thoughts, and naturally I can accept the Confucian Faction too. However, with what you are saying and doing, sooner or later, I will burn the books and wipe out Confucianism. There are many examples of how teachings hurt the people, it can be seen all around. As for those schools of thought that teach things that hurt the country, naturally Great Gan will have to ban it…”

”Burn the books and wipe out Confucianism? Good, good, good!”

Before Zong Shou finished, Dong Zhongsu's eyes were about to pop out of their sockets. He said ”good” several times and his face flushed red.

”Who knew that at the end of the Cloud Desolate Era, there would be a violent Ruler like the Qin Emperor. So many dynasties have passed since then and you are the dumbest Ruler of them all! You want to burn the books and wipe us out? Then, we will wait for you!”

Outside of the Vast Habitat, fury struck the heart of Zhu Zi too, rage surged in his eyes.

However, he instinctively felt that something wasn't right. It was like there were some changes in Zong Shou's body that correlated with the Heaven and the Earth.

It made him feel both fear and for some reason he actually felt close to it.

”What is going on? Why is this feeling so weird…”

Confucian Faction wasn't good at energy viewing techniques but before Zhu Zi formed his Dao he studied Taoist, Confucian, and Legalism books and knew a little about it.

Now, when he was gathering Spiritual Energy in his eyes, he saw was total emptiness.

This not only not put him at ease but instead filled him with shock.

At this moment, he couldn't see anything but he felt that it definitely couldn't be emptiness.

As the Southeast Overlord of the Cloud World, Great Gan Celestial Ruler, owner of 76 worlds!

This person's King Energy should be boiling and extremely abundant!

Was it Xiuguan!

He tried a few times to break through that Deduction Barrier to no effect. Zhu Zi instantly looked towards Xiuguan and only felt helpless.

With this top person of the world helping to cover, only a few people in the world would be able to see Zong Shou's destiny.
