Translator: Exodus Tales  Editor: Exodus Tales

Yue Linghuan’s expression was dark and sunken. Not only was he not trash, but in the cloud world, he was on the same level as the young generation of the cloud world and even above them!

If such a person was considered a piece of trash, then what was he?

His brows furrowed, thinking back to the situation before he felt that the situation was a little off.

Thinking about it made his face swell from purple to red, feeling ashamed.

At that time, Zong Shou’s killing intent seemed to have materialized, like in the next moment he would instantly kill him on the spot.

It made him unable to calm down and judge what Zong Shou doing. Now thinking back to it he realized that it was a little fake.

“City lord did you realize that Zong Shou, at that moment, was acting strong but he was all dried up inside?”

The silver armored grey-haired old man looked at his expression and asked. Seeing Yue Linghuan look over at a loss, he sighed slightly, “Actually when we left I noticed something, however with what I saw he still kept some strength. Along with my body being threatened I lost all my fighting spirit. I had no confidence and no courage to turn around and fight him. So city lord doesn’t need to feel ashamed. This person is the most shocking person of grade 7 and below I have ever seen in my life, grasping sword and fist intent. Ascended and below he is pretty much invincible…”

Yue Linghuan’s face shuddered slightly, what he couldn’t accept was for his heart to be afraid, to retreat without fighting. There was such a good chance to kill that Zong Shou but he missed it due to his fear.

At this moment his eyelids bounced. Only to see a stumbling person suddenly enter his field of site from the branch route ahead.

She had a white dress, gentle and graceful. Her left shoulder was missing an arm, blood and meat mixed up.

“Xiong Yu?”

Yue Linghuan was startled as he looked at the girl. Her face looked defeated and she seemed like she was in a tough state. Her elegant appearance and aura were lost.

After looking at him, Xiong Yu frowned. However, she didn’t walk over but directly headed to another direction, bumping her way around as she made her leave.

“City Lord, do I have to invite her over?” The spirit master at the side bowed as he asked. The rest of the people all gazed with dangerous looks in their eyes.

Yue Linghuan was tempted but following which he shook his head, “There’s no need. You know the flame bear race rules. Xiong Ba is still there so even if we control her, it is useless. The big enemy ahead is still that Zong Shou…”

His face sunk, “What I care more is why, with all those 7 Xuanwu ancestors and 2 Return to Sun spirit masters, no one is following her!”

The people around were alarmed and instantly took in a cold breath, their expressions were changing quickly.

Xiong Yu was badly injured and escaped alone. There were no signs of the rest of the people. The only possibility would be that those grade 6 experts had all fell into the hands of Zong Shou!

But how long have passed since they left?

At this moment even that silver armored expert didn’t dare confirm that when Zong Shou forced them to leave was he truly acting strong but was devoid of energy within.

Searching around for a bit for Zong Yuan and Gong Yue with no success, Zong Shou could only give up and continue to travel around the center of the cave, towards where that main hall was at.

When he arrived, this close to 3 thousand feet stone room was pretty much empty with only 100 people. The other people probably went to other areas.

There were also 26 drawings here on the 2 sides of the cave pillars. However, they weren’t drawing anything but carvings on the stone walls made up of different sized dots.

Looking out it looked like a picture of the stars but when one looked carefully one would notice that these dots and the stars in the sky had no connection at all.

If one had no comprehension of the martial path or one hadn’t seen the first 7 caves one would be at a loss and not understand anything.

Zong Shou only felt his eyes lit up, these dots were like links like the central column had connected the wall drawings, sword marks, broken sword art as well as the mysteries from the other 4 places all into one, forming a close to perfect sword intent.

Out of the 26 drawings only 18 were real. Between each other, it wasn’t unrelated. As they had many lacking points they needed to borrow the other pictures to complete the true sword art.

“So that was the case. No wonder the people before said that one must at least understand half of the pictures to learn one sword art and comprehend one type of sword intent…”

Zong Shou was enlightened and understood, smiling slightly, “Is it the true dragon sword intent?”

His index and middle finger combined as he pointed out, a similar intent to the maniac lightning sword intent surged out from his body,

This was the lightning dragon sword…

To martial cultivators, once one’s understanding of the strength of the martial path reached the peak, one could enter the ascended realm. Comprehending the sense of martial path, going from ascended ancestor to grandmaster was just a matter of time and accumulation.

At this moment, the sword intent that was the dream of numerous martial cultivators were easily displayed out by him.

The flaws of the sword art in the pictures were not only restricted to the strength level, but there was also a crucial part missing. Zong Shou used his ability of the martial path as well as the tens of sword intents he grasped in the last life to deduce it to the ‘sense’ level!

The people around were originally quietly looking and comprehending the pictures. At this moment they all felt something and looked over. Their eyes were first filled with shock. Then, when they came back to their senses they were both envious and jealous.

Apart from the people who knew Zong Shou, no one cared about his age. In this world, many people used disguises and spells to change their looks.

“9 types of true dragon sword intents. Then what would the saint spirit level nine dragon shadow sword of legends be like? Is it hidden within those marks and veins?”

Zong Shou looked up above, only seeing a patch of grey-white, there weren’t any special veins or markings.

However, when he looked up, it seemed like a smooth patch, but if one looked carefully, there were several bumps. No more no less, just nice 9 of them.

As this picture entered his eyes, Zong Shou’s brain had a loud explosion.

The markings which were all slightly different in those 7 caves all intersected in his brain continuously, entangling together.

What a huge mess. But when those 9 points were added in, the 9 dragon gates of the Dragon Gathering Mountain, the change patterns of the entire maze was already in his grasp.

“This sword art should be lacking something. That dragon shadow old man loves the number 9. There should be a 9th stone room in this maze and it should be the most crucial one! If it is as I expected, the 3 entrances to the inner region that Jin Buhui mentioned should be within it…”

His brain was crazily deducing, his heart suddenly clicking as he held the map that Xue Shuifan found in his hands, before focusing on the top left.

Following which his expression became weird.

This map was real.

After a hundred years, naturally, there were changes. However a hundred years ago the cave on that side was mostly like that!

Zong Shou was really surprised, what were these people doing?

He didn’t think much about it before keeping the nap before taking large steps towards a cave on the left.

Although the cave was huge, Zong Shou knew it like the back of his fingertips. In just 15 minutes he arrived at the place marked on the map, which was the southeast portion of the maze.

Based on Xue Shuifan’s map there was an entrance nearby directly connected to the 9th room. The 9 drops of true dragon blood were also hidden nearby.

However, when Zong Shou arrived here he searched all around to no avail. All around were all dead-ends with no paths and there weren’t any suspicious points.

As for suspicious people, he did bump into a few. Groups of threes and fives who were looking for something. They all judged him with vicious eyes. But when they noticed he had no soul power at all they didn’t care, their faces filled with shock or with a mocking intent.

Zong Shou had pretty much seen all the caves nearby. In the end, he stopped his footsteps at a narrow cave.

It was also a dead-end but it wasn’t really deep, at the entrance one could see it all.

At that moment there was no one there.

And looking at the smooth stone wall ahead, Zong Shou had a really weird feeling.

Based on what he guessed, the entrance was at this place. But be it what his eyes saw or his senses felt, it told him that this place was a dead end.

“That dragon shadow old man seems like a crafty person, why are there so many twist and turns?”

He scolded out in his heart before he took in a deep breath. He decided to close his eyes, based on what he predicted to walk straight forwards.

He first took 20 steps before walking towards the right. This place in his memory was a stone wall.

Zong Shou resisted the urge to open his eyes, tossing aside his memories of the stone pillar in his mind, still taking a step forward. Following which he felt a giant green dragon roar at him in his head. Then, it opened its mouth and bit right at him.

Zong Shou tried to use his intent to destroy it, but it was useless. He had an idea, adjusting his aura to copy the Taiyi dragon sword of the nine types of true dragon swords. As expected this green colored dragon collapsed.

And when his foot landed, there was no restriction at all as it stepped onto the ground.

…As expected that stone wall didn’t exist.

He didn’t have time to think as a weird force pushed him forwards. He couldn’t control his body as he stepped out once more. This time a giant black dragon circled in the sky.

He took 9 steps in a row, each step was a true dragon of the ancient times. When he finally stopped and opened his eyes, the scene ahead of him had changed into a wide and spacious stone cave.
