Chapter 1096 (1/2)

The people around were shocked. 32 times… In other words, a month here could be compared to three years on the outside.

Zong Shou shook his head, if he purely used the Book of Eon, the number of Mind Stones would be greatly reduced.

However, the Universe Light Hall did have its own effects. It had a huge range and could provide enough spiritual energy.

Unlike the Book of Eon, after time was accelerated, the time deep within the world didn’t and the spiritual energy around would thin out.

Although the book was a god treasure, after all it was just a record.

The Universe Light Hall was something crafted by the Instant Space Dragon Race for their descendants to comprehend the space-time laws.

Their functions were different, so the two of them naturally couldn’t be compared to one another.

One day within was the same as 32 days on the outside. With the Mind Stones that Zong Shou got from the various Demon Path Sects, it was enough to last for four months.

Everyone knew that time was precious and even 15 minutes of waste meant a loss of Mind Stones.

After today, they all found a corner in the hall to cultivate.

Apart from amassing Soul Power and True Qi to have a change in quality, they also comprehended the Instant Space ability within the hall.

Spacetime Laws were publicly recognized as the most mysterious ones out of all the Daos and one of the toughest to control.

Even if one was able to comprehend a little, one would benefit in their entire life.

Zong Shou calmed back down. Every day he continued to study those Demon Path books to comprehend and then extract the essence from within.

Every nine days, he would toss the Demon Books aside to help solve the questions of the people within. Occasionally, he would be interested and would rattle on about the Heaven and Earth laws that he had comprehended.

He was teaching them while also taking the chance to correct what he himself learned.

He learned many things and was unable to form it into a system. Since he had some time here he could arrange and consolidate them.

The people in the hall were all amazed. They felt that Zong Shou was really knowledgeable and knew about everything under the Heavens.

Anyone with doubts would get an answer from Zong Shou.

They paid more and more attention to Zong Shou’s teachings every nine days.

Even at the crucial point, they would stop their cultivation and listen to what Zong Shou had to say.

Zong Shou’s talks included pretty much everything. He dissected the connection between the various laws and Daos and made it really clear for everyone to understand.

He was able to casually take out words from scriptures and books and describe them. The many theories he said were all unheard of.

Not all were helpful to them but it could increase their knowledge. Although they didn’t have a use for it now, when their cultivation increased in the future they would have a use.

Sometimes when they listened on, they felt enlightened and all their confusion was dispelled. There were even some problems which they themselves didn’t realize they had.

Time flowed and in the blink of an eye a month passed.

Although Zong Shou was within the Universe Light Hall, because of the Zong Family Hidden Guards, he knew all about what happened outside.

The five states had just been calmed down and the rebellions in Donglin and South Wind Cloud Continent were both suppressed.

Although it was stable, there were chances that it might go bad. This was why he and Kong Yao couldn’t fully focus on cultivation. They were also in a tense mind regarding the changes outside.

What made him happy was that along with him being called Shenwu Emperor, the Great Gan situation became better by the day.

Maybe after the Taoist and Confucian Factions lost the support of the Demon Path, they were about to give up, so the world became more stable.

However, what Zong Shou cared about was still Yinyu and Zhongxuan in the Imperial Capital.

He still hadn’t found out where the Qin Emperor Tomb was and the only way would be to pay attention to their movement and adapt.

Recently, the two of them didn’t do anything but there were cases of kids missing each day. Most of them were born at the first light of the day, when the Yang Energy was the most abundant.

Zong Shou thought that the Taoist and Confucian Factions would notice something weird and prevent them. However, for some reason they kept silent.

This stunned Zong Shou. Forget about the Taoist Faction, but for some reason none of the Confucians showed themselves.

The Confucian Faction had many false gentlemen but to become a respected Confucian, at least in terms of morals many people respected them.

He didn’t understand but he didn’t bother much as he himself wasn’t much of a saint.

Although he was angry, he knew that if he interfered it might cause Yinyu and Zhongxuan to pull back and might even start another war between the six factions.

They didn’t have much chance of winning. Moreover, the outer region Night Demon threat was impending. Once war lasted long, they would just waste the lives of soldiers and cause life to be wiped out.

If he was alone, he would be glad to take revenge. He was annoyed with Zhongxuan and wanted to kill him with a sword.

However, after all he was the Emperor of a country. Even if he pitied those children, he cared more about the lives and safety of the people that were under him.

Actually, what he cared most about now was Jin Buhui who to date was still kept in the Imperial Jail in the capital.

The news from the Sword Sect really couldn’t make one feel optimistic.

“We tried a few times but failed. So they couldn’t save him out?”
