Chapter 688: 688
His gaze flashed and a moment later he heaved a sigh and asked impassively .

“Why did you think of such a method out of nowhere?”
He also found it weird . Such a Grand Path couldn’t be thought of for no reason .
Zong Shou laughed, waving his sleeves and instantly a silver light flew out .
It seemed illusionary and in the blink of an eye it was in front of Aokun . That sharp intent caused even Aokun to frown .
“How quick!”
At that moment, his fingers pincered in front of him . A flying knife finally landed in his hands . It continuously shook like it was trying to break away . However, under his suppression, it used up its strength and was smashed to pieces .
Aokun’s eyes turned serious .
That knife was filled with Zong Shou’s Nine True Dragon Sword Intent and was at the peak Soul Realm level!
However, to him it wasn’t worth a mention . What caught his attention was the speed of it .
It was really quick!
Naturally, it couldn’t harm him but it far exceeded the Spirit Realm level .
When the knife slashed over he had a weird feeling, like the space the knife passed through was shortened .
Pondering on it, he realized the reason .
“It is the power of time, so that was it…”
It wasn’t that the space was shortened, but that the time it went through was accelerated .
He finally knew why Zong Shou would make such a suggestion .
“That’s right! What does Brother Ao think about that knife?”
Zong Shou smiled . During these 30 days, using the Book of Eon acceleration, that was a full 300 days, close to a full year . He didn’t just study the Seven Star Xuan Lightning Book .
Actually, a large part of his time was spent on how to improve this Six God Defensive Knife Technique .
Using his soul to nurture the knife and link up with knife intent… That was the essence of the technique .

Along with the Sky Fox Illusionary Technique and Sword Driving Technique similar to that of a Spirit Master, it had much more ability to change directions . This knife would pretty much hit its target every single time!
However, the higher the level, the more this Grade-8 Earth Crushing Martial Arts felt lacking .
It had sufficient strength, but each time it struck, 70-80% of its strength was already consumed along the way .
This was the case when he fought Jia Mingluo . He threw out several knives and was unable to kill him, even when he was heavily injured .
It already became a weakness .
Zong Shou had wanted to modify this technique and since he was about to break through the Heaven Barrier he needed strength the most .
With this Eon Book giving him dozens more years of time, he was planning to accumulate and push some pinnacle techniques he grasped to the extreme .
His first choice was the Six God Defensive Knife Technique .
His newly grasped Time Acceleration Technique was a perfect match!
Because he was currently studying this method, when Aokun asked what he thought, he explained using the theory behind the Technique .
“It is not bad! But, the knife is a little weak and can’t take it . ”
He swept at the dust, frowning, “This knife seemed like it lost many changes . Although it is fast, it isn’t as nimble as before . ”
Zong Shou laughed helplessly as Aokun’s evaluation was spot on .
His comprehension of time wasn’t sufficient . He could only accelerate time on a straight line . Once direction changed, the speed would drop .
Apart from that, because it was too fast, his soul was unable to control it, so naturally it wasn’t as nimble .
The quality of the knife also wasn’t ideal .
His current Cloud Flame Flying Knife indeed couldn’t support the Time Power .
He had already crafted it for two years and it wasn’t good enough now .
However, it could still barely be used .
He sighed, thinking to himself that in the eyes of experts it was really not worth a mention . Aokun looked over with a weird expression .

“However, I think that there are some parts you got wrong! Since you want to chase the pinnacle of speed you can’t keep some changing ability . Don’t you know that the fish and the bear’s palm can’t exist together? You just need the knife to be 30% faster and no one under Heaven Realm will be able to block it!”
Zong Shou was startled, his lips curled up . He was indeed too greedy .
Actually, he had such a plan long ago . He was only hesitating, wanting to merge the speed and change in direction perfectly .
Aokun’s words totally woke him and he finally was able to make a decision .
With a thought, he waved his hand once more and another silver light flew out .
A moment later, it was right in front of Aokun . Right away Aokun pincered it lightly . However, this time there was a crisp clang and then the body of the knife exploded .
Strong sword intent surged out . Although it was instantly crushed, a thread of blood flowed from his fingers .
It was a light cut and it healed instantly . However, Aokun was in a daze .
He had predicted the future of the knife technique when he had given pointers .
However, at this moment, he couldn’t help but feel shocked .
That knife could actually hurt him?
It was also because he wasn’t on guard, his body wasn’t strong and his aura was unseeable .
Zong Shou also borrowed the King Path power and his strength had reached the Celestial Realm .
However, after all he was someone who was just at the Heaven Realm…
How quick! It was at least 50% faster than before!
Zong Shou seemed to not bother with all the other changes since the power within the knife was also double that of before .
Focus, energy, soul all merging into one, speed and strength in a perfect combination!
Like there was even a bit of the power of fate within…
Sighing for a moment, Aokun asked with a weird expression .
“How many of those knives can you shoot out?”

Zong Shou was stunned, a moment later he came back to his senses, “Only three in a day . Within three months, I can only develop five of them…”
The key was the control of time which consumed too much Soul Power . It was heavily taxing on the mind; energy and focus combining, energy and soul combining . He could only achieve that when he was in his best state and it would last only for a short moment each day .
As for that power of fate, to date he was still unable to accurately grasp it .
Each Six God Knife would require a lot of time to develop .
“Only three?”
Aokun muttered with a complicated expression . He was both a little disappointed while also showing a sign of relief .
Thankfully! If this knife could be casually fired, then other people could forget about living .
It was as expected from the Book of Eon Extreme Life . Zong Shou had just studied a little and his strength was increased immensely . The Path of Time was truly one of the strongest laws .
“I was worried that you couldn’t handle the Heaven Barrier Tribulation, but now I am at ease!”
Aokun naturally wouldn’t think that Zong Shou couldn’t break that layer .
He called it a tribulation but actually he was actually worried about other people .
Naturally, he and Dragon Shadow would deal with Celestial Realm and God Realm people . However, under Zong Shou, he had to depend on himself .
There were too many experts in the Taoist Sect . As for the Demon Sect, they might also prevent him too .
Although the Sky Demon Vast Habitat was trying to be friendly, their sects were more chaotic than the Taoists . How would they listen?
However, each time he recalled that knife just now, he felt pity for these people .
Who would be the unlucky one to fall first under that knife?
Looking at Zong Shou’s soul, it was close to full . It was filled with energy and once the eighteenth talisman was completed it was time for him to break through .
Today, he came for that reason . He wanted to repay Zong Shou’s kindness, but he didn’t think that he would end up owing more .
“You have 16 talismans and you still lack two?”
Zong Shou looked over at Aokun with curiosity . He naturally couldn’t hide his cultivation from Aokun .
He didn’t understand why Aokun would raise up this matter for no reason?
Speaking of the talismans, he had been worrying about them recently .
Within his Soul Ocean there was already these sixteen: Universe, Eon, Yin, Yang, Lightning, Thunder, Thunderclap, Luck, Stack, Swallow, Spit, Illusion, Purify, Life, Death, and Spirit .
However, he had been dragging on and didn’t form the last two .
He had a few choices but he found it inappropriate and had been hesitating on selecting them .
After all, it concerned his future and his achievements in Spiritual Cultivation, so he had to be careful .
In the next moment, Aokun smiled, “If there are no better choices, why not gather ‘Cause and Effect’? If your Six God Defensive Knife really wants to reach a level when you hit everything, you need to act on that path…”
“Cause and Effect?”
Zong Shou’s expression changed and he suddenly felt like smiling .
He was naturally clear about the weight of the two paths . These were also one of the Grand Paths, no lower than Eon and Universe .
It was similar to Fate and Luck, two of the toughest things in the world to grasp .
Time, Fate and then adding in Cause and Effect…
Zong Shou wanted but he didn’t dare get his hopes up .
He was already really lucky to grasp Universe and Eon, Black and White Holes as well as so many other top laws .
As for this Cause and Effect, it was far from what he could touch . Even if he wanted to comprehend it, he didn’t know where to start .
Moreover, cultivators like them focused on the Essence . These talismans in his soul were enough for him to study . He wasn’t free to add in these two huge paths .
Aokun didn’t speak, after smiling he turned and stepped into the void .
He came suddenly and left suddenly .
Zong Shou was just thinking about why he left so fast? He didn’t need to borrow his Eon Book? However, he saw a scroll in front of him .
