Divine Brilliance-Chapter 15 - Pure Soul
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
“Young Master is actually so strong. Will he not want me in the future?”
Chuxue’s eyebrows knit together, seriously considering such a possibility. On Gantian Mountain there were numerous maids, and many of them were clever people. There were also many whose families had a high status. She was only better than normal people her age because she double cultivated, and was chosen as the prince’s maidservant.
The more she thought about it, the more depressed she felt. Chuxue looked foolishly at the fainted teen in her hands.
At her most desperate time, Zong Shou, whom she should have been the one protecting, had appeared in front of her. She originally thought that no hope was left, but in a few breaths of time, he managed to kill Zong Yu and the others, forcefully pulling her away from the edge of Hell.
That handsome image challenging six people at once was deeply etched in her mind, not fading away, unable to forget.
Her eyes slowly wandered off until Yin Yang arrived beside the two of them.
“Were those people also killed by the prince?”
Looking clearly at the corpses strewn near the carriage a thousand feet away, even if Yin Yang had an idea, he couldn’t help but take in a cold breath.
“What a quick flying knife! What an overbearing sword! Three Martial Warriors, three Martial Masters, taking less than forty breaths of time, how amazing…”
Exclaiming for just a while, Yin Yang took out a purple crystal from his bag, placing it on Zong Shou’s forehead.
When Chuxue saw that, she got a little mad. “Uncle Yin, Young Master still remembers what happened when we were young!”
Yin Yang didn’t care, shaking his head slightly. “Xue’er you should be clearer than me about how strong this Wu Wei is. He could kill three or four same stage Mythic Masters. To be able to take his right eye with a body that just opened the Foundation Chakra, how can I not be suspicious? We must test to find out whether or not the heir is still himself!”
In just a short while, a sky blue glow appeared from the crystal, the color pure and bright.
Yin Yang’s eyes lit up, and stowing that purple crystal, he couldn’t help but praise, “His soul is really pure. The quality of the spirit technique the heir is cultivating must be from the heavens! I heard that those ascended grandmasters and spiritual masters hate impure spirits and wouldn’t allow the original spirit to exist. Since the heir has memories from his youth, the soul is also so pure, it is definitely him!”
Seeing Chuxue looking less nervous, Yin Yang smiled. He looked towards Zong Shou emotionally. That look had anticipation, happiness, and a little jealousy.
“Since it wasn’t the hidden knowledge of the past life, then this battle was the heir’s own strength. He should be cultivating in some secret technique that we all don’t know about, to be be so strong. In the past, we learned that the heir wasn’t able to learn any martial arts or incantation methods due to his dual meridians. Who knew that his talent would be so shocking? A person who just opened his Foundation Chakra killing a Martial Master! If the heir could breakaway from his Dual Meridian Body and become an ascended Grandmaster, who could be his enemy?”

When Zong Shou woke up once more, three days had passed. It was like his brain had been split in half by someone, heavy and dizzy, filled with intense pain.
He opened his eyes with much difficulty, and noticed that he was within the carriage and lying on the thighs of Chuxue.
This pillow is so comfortable, so fragrant…
Drinking in the atmosphere, even the pain in his brain greatly lessened. Zong Shou sniffed lightly, and at the next moment he noticed a long red scar.
The tiger cat race’s body qualities were really strong. The monster race had inherited tens of thousands of years of medicine skills, and their effects were amazing.
In such a short period of time, most of the injuries on her body had recovered. Only such red scars were left on her snow white skin. They would all probably disappear in just a few more days.
After being unconscious for a few days, Zong Shou’s feeling was that the life and death battle had happened not long ago.
Thinking back to those terrifying wounds on her, his heart couldn’t help but shake as he tried to sit up. However all the muscles in his body felt like they were tearing apart, and he took in a cold breath.
Su Chuxue, who was lying on the carriage and sleeping, was woken up. She muttered before stretching lazily.
In the next moment, she saw Zong Shou looking up at her with a smile that didn’t look like a smile. Instantly her face flushed red as she hurriedly stood up.
“Young Master ,you are awake?” Her voice was surprised but her head was hung low, like she wanted to dig a hole into the ground to bury herself in it.
Zong Shou laughed, feeling that it was weird in his heart. Wasn’t she very bold when she helped massage him? When did she suddenly become so shy?
He wanted to tease her, but in her current state, she would just run away.
He could only shake his head and look outside the window.The scenery outside wasn’t wilderness, but canyons all around. Along way he could see many people walking and in carriages. They probably had gotten out of Dragon Lake Plain, but entered the Sudian Mountain Range near the Dongji Cloud Ocean.
Not far from that would be the base of the top sect of Donglin Cloud Continent, Lingyun Sect’s Pill Spirit Mountain.
Lingyun Sect’s power spread across the Cloud World. it had nine bases across the five continents, as well as the four large cloud islands.
This Pill Spirit Mountain was only one of them. The true headquarters of the sect was within a cloud palace left from ancient times. In his last life, Zong Shou was fortunate enough to see it, and its scale was indeed huge.
Looking at the never-ending mountains to the sides, Zong Shou’s brows raised. “Are we rushing to Pill Spirit Mountain? I heard that the mountain is hidden behind heavy mist and will only appear once every three years? I am afraid the time isn’t right!”
Su Chuxue tried to calm herself down and smiled, “Did Young Master forget that this year is the hurricane year? Considering the time, there should be two months left!”
Only then did Zong Shou remember that all the cloud islands of the Cloud World were hanging above the cloud layer. Roughly every ten years, there would be a hurricane that started in various parts of the cloud ocean and swept in all four directions. The former was because of gravitational forces, while the latter was because of temperature differences, but all this was knowledge gained as time went on.
No matter how thick the fog and mist, it would be swept away, which would be when the Pill Spirit Mountain revealed itself.
Licking his lips, Zong Shou felt unwilling. He didn’t want to go to the Pill Spirit Mountain.
In the game in the last life, his relationship with Lingyun Sect was secondary. More importantly now, it was because of his Nine Tail Fox King father known as the Blood Maniac Monster Saint. The eleven martial experts he killed all came from Lingyun Sect.
Legend had it was because his son and the entire Sky Fox Zong Family was destroyed because of Lingyun Zong. He slaughtered his way up Pill Spirit Mountain, killing many experts.
Decades after that battle, Lingyun Sect struggled, their reputation falling greatly. Only at the later parts of the God Emperor Era did it recover a little.
That battle was a historical one, shocking the world. However, the reason why Zong Weiran at that time didn’t have the identity of Monster King but was travelling on his own was something Zong Shou couldn’t recall.
Zong Shou didn’t know what was going on outside. The only thing he knew was that the son of the Monster King was heartlessly chased out after he arrived at Pill Spirit Mountain.
That resulted in future matters, where he became a puppet and his corpse was put on display.
“What actually happened in Pill Spirit Mountain? There should be a reason why the Monster King sent him to Lingyun Sect, but why was he chased out? Heck with it, we will only know when we’re there. Anyways I will have to go to Pill Spirit Mountain sooner or later. There are some things I need to confirm…”
