Chapter 786: Forced To Leave The Cloud World
“Looking at its aura, the strength of this Yin Dragon when it was alive was probably not only God Realm! Who knows, it might have even been a Saint Realm Dragon…”
A middle-aged man’s voice suddenly sounded from beside him . The voice was clear and marked by a questioning tone .
Zong Shou turned around and noticed that it was Kong Rui . Just a few days had passed since he had eaten Kong Yao dry so he felt slightly awkward when he met this Imperial Astronomer .
“So, Country Father in Law is back!”
Although Zong Shou didn’t greet him because of his identity as the Ruler, his expression was still really respectful .
He actually recognized and agreed with Kong Rui’s words . He was really curious about the identity of this Yin Dragon .
Although there were many Saint Realm people who died during the Cloud Desolate Era, if one restricted it just to the Dragon Race, there were just 3-5 of them . There were even fewer who came from the same era as the Xiang King .
Out of the many God Beast Races, the Dragon Race was the strongest . They also had a complete legacy along with the human race .
All Saint Realm Experts who died during that time were recorded . However, Zong Shou had read through all the books and was still unable to find out the name of this dragon .
“I am curious about it too, I don’t know which Saint Realm True Dragon this is that fell in the Cloud Dream Swamp . I remember that when Qin was established, they massacred many beasts . When the Xiang King fell, the Dragon Race started to back out of the Cloud World…”
However, although he was curious about this matter, there was no need for him to get to the bottom of it .
He cared most about the important matter . He turned and asked, “Since you are here, is that seal completed?”
“Yes!”
Kong Rui nodded his head and passed a fist-sized Golden Seal to Zong Shou .
Zong Shou had a solemn expression as he held the Golden Seal in his hand . It looked really normal, but when he held it in his hand, it weighed a billion kilograms .
However, to him it was still as light as a feather . It wasn’t because his body had the strength to lift 36 Sumeru Mountains, but that this seal sensed the King Energy . Only when it was in the hands of the Ruler of the country was it weightless .
Beneath the seal were the huge words: Gantian Mountain Ruler will be prosperous forever!”
“This seal was made from Sumeru Stone in the west of Donglin, forged in strong fire and combined with nine types of metals to copy the past Dynasty Seals . It was crafted, merging all their essences! It is able to carry the luck and fate of the country for many years . In roughly 10 years, it could become a Country Protecting Treasure! It might be far from the Ruler’s Avici Throne, but it will be enough to beat Great Shang…”
Kong Rui explained . Even with how careful and respectful he was, he couldn’t help but have a gleeful expression on his face .
The Kong Family had spread for 10,000 years and taken charge of the Directorate of Astronomy and Calendar and the position of Imperial Astronomer .
The seals of the various Emperors were pretty much all made by the Kong Family . They also had many sets of secret techniques as well as crafting formations accumulated over the years .

In these dozens of generations, Kong Rui was one of the most outstanding people to come out of the Kong Family .
Actually, this seal lacked spiritual ingredients . The nine types of Earth Grade metal were accumulated from all around . There was just a small speck of each of them .
They were also accumulated by Kongqi Sect during these thousands of years .
However, Kong Rui was able to use a Spiritual Formation to use these insignificant amounts of metal into a seal .
This was why it wasn’t an exaggeration when he spoke these words .
“When I crafted this seal, I left much room for improvement . As long as we find suitable ingredients, we can merge them and they won’t hurt the foundations . ”
Zong Shou didn’t pay much attention to him, activating his Emperor Wind Technique to inject in threads of King Path Energy .
Then, a red flame appeared above the seal .
However, at this moment, he knew that the seal was slowly becoming heavier due to the changes to the ground beneath him .
The ground five feet around him was actually sinking down .
“Gantian Mountain follows the fire virtue which is why the fire formation is the main one!”
Kong Rui said this before asking solemnly, “Ruler, are you prepared to use Great Gan as the Country Title?”
“It is simple and saves energy!”
Zong Shou smiled . Although Gantian Mountain had established a country, they never had a Country Title .
All along, outsiders had been calling them ‘Gantian Mountain’ .
In the past, they were really small and could disregard that . However, be it the generals that Kong Yao led or officials like Renbo and Zhang Huai, they all eyed the fatty meat of Great Yue in the South Wind Cloud Continent .
Spanning two continents and one island, ten states of land . Even in the Central Cloud Continent, it would be considered a large country .
A Country Title needed to be a little proper such that others wouldn’t laugh at them .
Zong Shou was too lazy to think of one, directly using the Gan word from Gantian Mountain . Renbo and the few cabinet elders as well as the Meeting Hall all didn’t object .
“Is there anything inappropriate?”

If it couldn’t work, it wasn’t that he couldn’t change it . He didn’t fear the Heavens and didn’t believe in destiny . However, there had been too many mysterious things happening recently . Kong Rui predicted so many things in advance, resulting in his reputation among the Gantian Mountain subjects to become like a sun in the sky .
If he said that the name was inauspicious, then he had to believe it .
“Why? The name is really good!”
Kong Rui smiled and then bowed slightly, “The meaning of Gan is Heaven, is to be the leader . I will congratulate the Ruler in advance for ruling over many Cloud Worlds!”
Zong Shou gave Kong Rui a weird look and then he shook his head .
He casually tossed the seal in his hand back into the Chongzheng Hall of the Hanyan Palace .
This item is the Country Protecting Artifact, currently at the nurturing stage . It could only be placed together with the Avici Throne now .
Once it had grown after 10 years, then as long as he was within Great Gan, if anyone dared to offend him, be it Spirit Realm or Celestial Realm, a casual smack with this and he would be able to crush them . Even if they didn’t die, then he could just burn them to death which was exactly what he wanted .
As for unifying all the worlds?
What a joke . The God Emperor in the future was unable to do that, so obviously he had no hope too .
He was already satisfied if he could get hundreds to go up against the Lu Family .
Moreover, wouldn’t one feel annoyed if one ruled so much territory?
However, the moment the Golden Seal flew out of his hand, there was a suction force in the air as it rose up . Then it turned into a Golden Light and entered the Silver Cocoon .
Zong Shou’s mouth was agape, only after a long while did he come back to his senses . His face was green as he asked, “Country Father in Law, is this a good or bad thing?”
Kong Rui was speechless . At this moment, even he didn’t know why the Yin Dragon wanted the Seal .
Although he had a lot of experience in his life, nothing like this had ever occurred before . As such, there was nothing he could look back to .
He was speechless for a moment, but then he spoke up once more, consoling Zong Shou, “Ruler doesn’t need to worry . It shouldn’t be anything bad, just continue to observe . If there is nothing more, then I will take my leave…”
He left after saying this, unwilling to stay for even a moment more .
Zong Shou’s lips twitched . But, at this moment, there was nothing he could do to the Yin Dragon .
He could only temporarily leave it, allowing the Silver Dragon to steal the Golden Seal .

Looking on as Kong Rui left, Zong Shou stared right at the cocoon .
This fellow really wasn’t helping his reputation . Sooner or later, he would get him back for it .
Zong Shou scoffed as he stepped forward and tore open space .
Several breaths later, he felt the Dragon Shadow’s intent was calling out to him from the void .
Zong Shou had been delaying it because he needed to speak to Kong Rui .
Since that matter was already finished, then it was time to meet the Taoist Ancestor Qingxuan who was outside .
Although they hadn’t seen one another, Zong Shou could guess the reason why both of them summoned him .
However, this wasn’t something he could just avoid and it was one that he had prepared for .
The moment he stepped out, he felt a vast power stretch over . It pulled him, making him travel swiftly among heavy layers of space barriers .
Moments later, the world in front of him changed . It was a World River that had just stabilized and two people appeared in front of him .
One looked older but he stood tall, his hair was in a knot and looked really majestic . It was his Master Dragon Shadow . The other was a green Celestial-dressed Taoist .
Zong Shou’s eyes flashed as he bowed, “Disciple greets Master and Taoist Ancestor Qingxuan!”
Although Dragon Shadow was a factionless cultivator, most of his basic techniques came from the Taoist Faction . The Common People’s Path merged Taoist and Confucian Techniques .
Even Xi Zi needed to call him teacher . After all, Taoist Ancestor was exactly what he was .
However, Zong Shou also recalled that he was the main cause of Xi Zi’s death .
A huge enemy of the Common People’s Path .
“You are Zong Shou?”
His eyes flashed with killing intent before his expression calmed down .
“I really didn’t expect Dragon Shadow to teach such a disciple . Great . My Taoist Faction, hundreds of thousands of disciples over 2,000 years suppressed by you . You are really talented, in these 3,000 years no one has been as good as you, solely in the Sword Path!”
Zong Shou didn’t know if he was praising him or not .
He was too lazy to think about it and completely disregarding it .
“Taoist Ancestor’s praise is too much! I am just a Junior and am not worthy of such praise . ”
“Is that so? It is the truth that you are invincible in the Cloud World . Six Big Factions of the Cloud World and none of them are your level . You wiped out close to 50 of my sects, 200 Spirit Realms, how domineering…”
Qingxuan smiled indiscernibly, “The Cloud World doesn’t have room for a Blood Sword Monster Lord who has no opponents . I have discussed with your master . Two months from now, you are to leave the Cloud World and not to return for 20 years . Are you willing?”
Zong Shou raised his head and locked eyes with Qingxuan, only to see that his eyes were calm as if he wasn’t forcing him .
However, for some reason, he felt an extreme sense of danger in his heart .
His chest felt tight . Although he knew that this would be the outcome, when he was actually faced with the matter, he had to really consider it .
For some reason, he felt really annoyed .
He suppressed it and tried to calm himself down . Zong Shou took in a deep breath and then nodded, “I will listen to your orders! Only, my Great Gan…”
“For 20 years, the Taoist Faction won’t easily offend it . The religions have promised . If anyone goes against it, you can return to the Cloud World!”
The one who spoke was Dragon Shadow!
Qingxuan glanced at Dragon Shadow, his face becoming even colder, “That is true! Like what your Master has said, if someone breaks it and your Gantian Mountain is at risk of being wiped out, you can return . ”
When Zong Shou heard this, he stopped asking and simply nodded, “I agree!”
