Chapter 735: Mountain Peak Negotiation
A purple energy wrapped around his fingertips, unable to be absorbed into his body .

That was because there were already too many in his body which was why he was unable to absorb any more .
That day after he killed Zigui, he was still unable to do anything to the Blue Fire Xuan Turtle .
In the end he could only use an even thicker ice layer to freeze it and then suppressing it using dozens of Mountain Stabilising Talismans . Following which he threw it into a space treasure that he snatched .
It was bigger than the Lingjie Ring, it had ten thousand feet of space which could just nice fit it in .
This Blue Fire Xuan Turtle was also barely considered sealed by him .
Following which he continued to kill several groups of Taoist cultivators outside of the Cloud World .
Until those scattered Saint Fire Silver Ants couldn’t find any more traces of Spirit Realm cultivators, he returned back to Central Cloud Continent .
During these few days Zong Shou spent most of his time scouring the temples that belonged to the Yuqing Faction .
As expected he found many of them . Often the bigger the city, the more believers there were . The more God Power he was able to get from the statues .
There were only a million people here but due to it being near Daoling Vast Habitat, there were many believers and they were extremely faithful .
This was why the God Power obtained was not only thick but also really pure .
Unfortunately his body only absorbed three-quarters of it but was unable to take in any more .
On the side of Hanxi, each time it consumed the core, it would turn into a cocoon and digest it for a period of time .
However the time it took would get shorter and shorter and the effects would become less and less discernible .
The original twelve silver ants had increased to eighteen . Their armor and knife arms were strengthened such that they were extremely close to the Spirit Realm level and their speed also greatly increased .
As for Hanxi itself, there weren’t many observable changes to it . The spiritual patterns on it became more obvious . It also seemed simple but complicated, looking really mysterious .
The silver flame also seemed more Saint-like and pure, extremely bright and beautiful .
Although there were threads of vengeful energy rising up, it couldn’t get close to the two of them .
Zong Shou’s Sword Intent made it such that evil spirits and energy couldn’t get close . Hanxi’s body shone a silver light, wrapped in flames . The moment the vengeful energy got close, it would be totally purified .

“So it seems like there is a limit to using God Power to train the body…”
He was standing stunned to the spot not because he was purely in deep thought . He was waiting for his body to “digest” the portion of God Spirit Power stored in his body .
A full hour later he was still unable to absorb the bit of purple energy around his fingertips .
It seems like it wasn’t him not having enough space within but that he had reached his limit .
Actually it was true thinking about it . If he could easily swallow it without any limit, wouldn’t he really be invincible?
There was no way for one to reach the top so easily .
Thinking about it for a moment more, Zong Shou decided to give up on that purple energy, allowing it to scatter around .
At this moment the entire city was still totally silent .
Most people on the streets closed their doors and didn’t come out . It was daytime but there was no one on the streets . It was like this was a ghost town .
The martial cultivators and spirit masters were either looking over carefully or with animosity . They all thought that they were well hidden as they either looked or spread their spiritual sense over . There were a few people who tried their best to retract their aura, afraid that Zong Shou would notice .
Zong Shou was too lazy to bother about those low grade cultivators . He wasn’t willing to attack them but he wasn’t going to allow them to offend him .
He spread out his spiritual sense outwards and wiped out all those annoying spiritual senses . There was no one who could continue to spy .
He laughed coldly as he headed east . With a few steps he was dozens of miles out .
A short while later he was on the peak of a mountain hanging in mid air .
This was Cuiming Peak . It was one of the medium sized sects under Daoling Vast Habitat- Luxing Sect .
Half the mountain was sliced off, drawing talismans flipped it around to hang seventy thousand feet high up the air .
Using the Star Power of the Heavens to inject in, although there weren’t any Dragon Veins but the abundance of spiritual energy was just below that of Shrines and Spiritual Houses .
However at this moment, the peak was empty with no one at all .
Zong Shou scanned the place with his spiritual sense, in the end he retracted it helplessly .

Not only was there no one, but there also wasn’t even anything of value .
Looking at the situation here, it wasn’t because he spent too long in the city . But that this place was abandoned three days ago .
This wasn’t the first case that he faced . Since he killed those Spirit Realm cultivators who were returning to the sect from Donglin, dozens of sects did the same .
These Taoist Sects didn’t care about their face at all . They didn’t dare to defend . Everywhere he passed, the sects gave up their mountain . The disciples all scattered to hide elsewhere .
No matter how bold Zong Shou was, they didn’t dare to show their heads . They were more shameless than the Blue Fire Xuan Turtle .
At this moment even someone as determined as him felt powerless .
Like a punch landing on cotton, unable to use strength . There was no solution to such a situation .
Looking up at the sky with his hands by his side, Zong Shou was in deep thought once more . He was unwilling to retreat but there was no benefit to continuing on . Maybe he should consider returning .
Thinking about it seriously for a while, Zong Shou shook his head . Before he left there was one last thing he had to complete .
He was about to step off when he felt the surrounding space twist .
His brow rose, eyes filled with surprise .
When the energy came over he actually didn’t sense anything .
Just as he was thinking about that, he saw Shui Lingbo broke the world barrier and appeared in front of him .
Her face was cold and expressionless with no intentions to get close to him .
Just as Zong Shou was finding it weird, his pupils constricted . Not one but two people came over here .
The moment such a thought rose, a seven colored mirage gathered and spiritual energy wrapping around .
In just a moment, a twenty over years old Taoist appeared . He looked really young, face like white jade, dressed in Taoist attire and holding a horsetail whisk . It gave one a feeling like he was an ice jade covered in smoke; ethereal and dream-like .
“Yuanmeng greets Country Ruler!”
That person sized up Zong Shou before expressionlessly nodding his head .

In the next instance an extremely huge intent suppressed down on this peak .
Shui Lingbo nodded her head, “Long time no see, has Ruler been doing well? Shui Lingbo greets you!”
Zong Shou’s right hand instinctively gripped his sword . He went up against the Yuanmeng’s intent as he looked over .
This is God Realm?
Yuanmeng? He had never even heard of such a person in the last life .
Even in the Illusionary Game Realm, he wasn’t famous enough for him to know his name
If it was what he expected, it was the God Realm cultivator protecting Daoling Vast Habitat .
Although he formed an incarnation projection thousands of miles out, that vast suppression was terrifying .
He was too lazy to reply, staring right at his eyes and then grinning, “Don’t you know that I am fighting to the death with your Taoist Faction?”
Yuanmeng frowned, seemingly also feeling that he was unable to make Zong Shou yield through using intent . He looked towards Shui Lingbo . The latter was really calm, “I came here for another matter . I met him coincidentally . If Senior Yuanmeng wants me to help with the peace talks, then please invite someone else . ”
Zong Shou found it weird, what was going on with these two?
He heaved a sigh of relief . Looking at Shui Lingbo’s situation, Common People Path wasn’t threatened by Daoling Vast Habitat .
Yuanmeng scoffed coldly in unhappiness . However he didn’t say anything and directly said towards Zong Shou .
“If Country Ruler is willing to return to Gantian and not step foot on Central Cloud Continent for three months, the Taoist Faction promises to not touch Donglin and Huizhou commoners for three years!”
There was no more probing tone, just a firm decisive one .
Zong Shou was furious, this Yuanmeng was really interesting .
Three years not to attack Donglin and Huizhou commoners .
Just three years and the promise didn’t include him .
Actually it was a good thing to let the people under him get excluded from the fight between him and Taoist Faction .
However the time was just too short . His battle would be counted in the thousands and tens of thousands of years . Within it also didn’t include what he wanted the most .
Apart from that, his tone made him feel really annoyed .
There was no smile at all on his face, his gaze like that of a knife .
“Then what if I am unwilling to return?”
“If you have any conditions, just raise it up . ”
Yuanmeng seemed to have predicted that Zong Shou would ask that, shaking his head without bothering much .
“However, Ruler should just agree . During these ten thousand years, anyone who offended my Taoist Sect had never lived . Even if you are the most unrivaled talented person in the Cloud World . I don’t think you will be able to take the wrath of my Taoist Faction!”
Zong Shou laughed, acting like he didn’t hear Yuanmeng’s threat .
“You can make me retreat! Thirty thousand Grade Nine mind stones to compensate my people . Within thirty years, you are not to harm my people . Lastly hand over all the people who participated in the killing and let me deal with them as I wish!”
When he heard the first condition, Yuanmeng pupils opened wide . The last sentence made his eyes open wide . The last sentence filled him with fury .
“Preposterous!”
That intent became sharper and sharper, “You are a ruler but you don’t know when to take a step back! I can give you five thousand Grade Nine mind stones but it isn’t as compensation, it is as a charity . The second condition will be shortened to ten years . We won’t attack you for ten years . As for the last one, I will act like I didn’t hear it . If you agree then you can scram already…”
When he heard that veins popped out from Zong Shou’s hand that was grabbing the sword . He calmed down and smiled .
“In other words, there is no room for discussion?”
