Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Holding the sword, Zong Shou hesitated for a moment and didn’t attack.

A full hour passed, and finally, a look of determination appeared on his face.

He thoroughly deduced in his heart once more, his eyes slowly started to glow, it was extremely eye-catching.

He had found the most crucial part of this nine dragon shadow sword.

Jin Buhui had coincidentally walked out from one of the caves, when he looked at the scene ahead he felt that it was funny,” Zong Shou you can’t comprehend it, are you going to destroy this stone wall in rage? Don’t blame me for not telling you. 7 years ago there was a person who spent a day and night here and failed to comprehend anything. In a fit of anger, he wanted to destroy this thing. In the end not only did he fail to do so, instead he hurt himself. It was said that even celestial weapons aren’t able to hurt this. Haven’t you seen that there are no marks on the dragon shape stone at all?”

When he said that mocking sounds spread out from afar, “You are useless and ignorant and want to blame the reflective mirror, how dumb!”

Jin Buhui’s eyes constricted as he looked opposite him, only to see Li Yuandan and Han Nishui laughing coldly.

Who knows whether or not they came out coincidentally all were paying attention from start to finish to Zong Shou’s actions within the cave.

He couldn’t help but curl his lips. He was joking with Zong Shou so what were the 2 of them doing running out?

To think they could be so arrogant, priding themselves as intelligent and smart people. What they didn’t know was that his new friend was thousands or even tens of thousands of times stronger than them.

Even if Zong Shou didn’t comprehend anything here, he was still high above in the cloud world and could look down on these peasants.

And based on his guesses, in the past few days, Zong Shou have already comprehended much of the 9 martial saint remnant images.

That was why he came over to comprehend the giant dragon stone carving here. It was either he was bored or he realized something hugely important...

Just as he thought about that, in the next instant he saw Zong Shou wave out his sword as he slashed towards the wall.

Jin Buhui was startled, thinking to himself that this fellow snapped? However, looking at the sword it was weak and powerless, most probably it wouldn’t leave a scratch. However, that was better, not using much strength so the recoil damage wouldn’t be that high either.

Just as he thought that, Jin Buhui’s eyes popped out of their sockets. His gaze was filled with disbelief, only to see stone shrapnels fly about.

Zong Shou’s sword had drawn a mark on the reflective wall.

It was twisted and curvy, right at the chest portion of the giant dragon. Looking at it alone, it was like a twisted bug, but added to this 5 clawed giant dragon picture, it caused the dragon shape to suddenly have a sort of rhythm.

Jin Buhui couldn’t help but used strength to pinch his shoulders and instantly pain spread over.

He confirmed that he wasn’t in a dream, and he started to curse out. He thought back to the teacher who introduced to them about the Dragon Gathering Mountain dragon gate and about the rumors and things to look out for. They conned him!

He said that the reflective wall was indestructible, but how did Zong Shou draw out a line without using a single bit of true qi.

He also felt that the situation was far from what it seems. Zong Shou’s actions, the path of the sword had some theory hidden within it which was why it was able to leave a mark on this reflective pillar.

Just as he thought about that, he couldn’t help but suck in a deep cold breath. Did this fellow find something?

Ten thousand years have passed and this thing that people felt was a waste of time had mysteries that thousands of elites couldn’t notice?

At this moment not only Jin Buhui but even Han Nishui and Li Yuandan were also both stunned as they looked at what had happened.

Their gazes were filled with disbelief...

That soft sword of Zong Shou’s, how could it hurt this wall so easily? The sword that was drawn out seemed to have fixed the lacking portion of this giant dragon stone carving.

However, not long ago in the eyes of the 2 of them, the dragon shape on this reflective wall was perfect and without flaw.

They felt so weird!

After the 1st sword, Zong Shou seemed to not be worried about anything else. The stone shrapnel flew all around the sky, the sword in his hand was like cutting tofu, without any feeling of resistance as he fulfilled all the guesses he had before.

The key to the nine shadow dragon sword was in this dragon-shaped picture.

Without hesitation, Zong Shou slashed out with the 2nd and 3rd swords, instantly pieces of stone flew up and many lines and marks were imprinted on.

Sometimes before his guesses were correct it would be restricted and the pillar would repel his sword.

However, Zong Shou often needed to just think carefully for a moment and deduce a little before being able to confidently slash out a mark.

His mind and his heart were feeling more and more excited.

This reflective mirror not only held the final technique of the nine shadow dragon sword, but it could also fix the mistakes in his sword.

When Zong Shou slashed out the 20th sword, Long Ruo had walked out from within the stone room. His expression was dark and sunken as he looked at the way Zong Shou waved the sword.

Li Yuandan couldn’t help but feel weird, “Why did you suddenly come out? Weren’t you only starting to just comprehend the mysterious yin dragon sword?”

He knew that although Long Ruo was a spiritual master, in terms of benefits from this Dragon Gathering Mountain he gained more than them, martial cultivators.

Nine types of true dragon sword techniques were pretty much unbelievably helpful to his black flood dragon. The sword arts like the vast fire dragon one and the indent left by the saint also helped Long Ruo who wanted to become a sword cultivator.

Especially that platinum dragon sword which was a good fit with the broken sword intent that Long Ruo had cultivated in. If he could use it, his strength could greatly increase.

That was why since they entered the mountain, Long Ruo was the most focused one out of all of them, pretty much not distracted by anything else.

Following which he saw Long Ruo shake his head solemnly, “It isn’t that I don’t want to continue comprehending but there is no way to...”

When Li Yuandan heard that, his expression changed slightly, following which he charged right back into the room. Only to see that smooth stone wall collapsing, pieces of stone were falling to the ground. The martial saint remnant image was nowhere to be seen anymore.

When such a scene entered his eyes, his expression turned ashen white.

How could that happen? How did this martial saint remnant image leave for ten thousand years collapse for no reason?

Han Nishui followed behind, his expression was also green. When he entered the large hall, instantly sword energy slashed towards that reflected wall.

The sword glow swept towards Zong Shou who was slashing out with the sword, causing He Xueling Su Chen and the others who had similarly just walked out to feel furious. However, that sword energy didn’t even get close before an invisible force blocked it. There was a ball of pale golden patterns protecting around Zong Shou.

Half of the sword attack landed on the reflective wall, instantly there was a loud ‘keng’. The sword light reflected, not only that but it became several times sharper and 80% faster! Searching for where the sword light originated from.

Han Nishui was prepared, however, he tried several times to dodge it but failed to successfully avoid. In the end, he was helpless. After stopping, he cast several talismans to dissipate that sword light forcefully.

Luckily, his main area of expertise was spiritual cultivation and his martial path wasn’t strong, just at the grade 5 martial ancestor level.

That sword, even after being reflected by the wall, couldn’t be too strong which was why he wasn’t heavily hurt and could easily deal with it.

However, the expressions of everyone there changed slightly. Some were shocked, some were at a loss, some look especially ugly.

Jin Buhui was speechless, wasn’t the situation similar to what his teacher told him.

His teacher didn’t bluff him, this reflective wall really can’t be hurt. Zong Shou found something.

As for Long Ruo, his gaze was fluctuating. A moment later he took in a deep breath, “How do my fellow senior brothers and sisters look at this matter?”

That Li Yuandan and Han Nishui kept silent like they thought about something but weren’t willing to speak.

Zu Renkuang at the side smiled bitterly, “What can we think about it? No one can destroy the martial saint remnant image apart from the dragon shadow old man and same grade experts. It collapsed now most probably because he found a person that he is satisfied with. There is no need to release those 9 types of sword techniques to people to learn in this Dragon Gathering Mountain. I am afraid that Brother Han’s sword has offended the dragon shadow martial saint...”

Han Nishui’s expression turned ashen white, although he had roughly guessed about this outcome.

But when Zu Renkuang said those words, he still felt afraid in his heart. He knew that those people who stepped onto the celestial path, people above the spirit realm won’t easily appear in the Cloud World.

Especially people in the god realm and the saint realm who won’t easily return. With his sect protecting him, even if he offended him for the current period, it won’t be much.

However, the strength of the martial path saint expert was a heavy pressure which pressed down on him.

“It might not be the case!”

Li Yuandan’s eyes constricted and looked on coldly, “Didn’t you say Zong Shou doesn’t know martial arts? How could he comprehend the nine dragon shadow sword? Obtaining the praise of the dragon shadow old man?”

“Although he doesn’t, his talent in comprehension is top of the world.”

That Long Ruo sighed, the feeling in his heart was indescribably complicated.

“At the start on my Pill Fountain Mountain, this kid smashed my Lingyun Sect Sky Sword Platform in just 160 breaths, 18 sword puppets and he also drew out the 12 god talismans left by the grand senior master. Be it sword techniques or talisman path talents, there are less than 10 people in the world better than him! It was because I took a false step which was why I didn’t accept him into the sect.”

Li Yuandan and Han Nishui both exchanged glances with one another. This was the 1st time they heard of this.

Following which they heard Long Ruo say, “Only because this person has a dual meridian body, barriers from heaven and a broken soul. He was cultivation trash that can’t enter the xiantian realm in his life...”

Both of them were enlightened but when he said that, they saw Zong Shou slash out the 28th sword.

Instantly a huge dragon roar broke out within the stone cave.
