Jing Tao Zhenren frowned and looked back at his memory. It was as what Zong Shou had said.
90% and above of the grade 6 beast corpses hadn’t reached their death date but instead died to the mental impact that martial intent had on them.
A light flashed across his head as his heart couldn’t help but jump.
Even Zhao Yanran and the others were filled with thoughts.
“Are you thinking that there is some treasure that could help them evolve which made the grade 6 beasts go all out? Legend had it that the beasts beneath the cloud ocean have sharp senses, I am not sure if it is true or false. And also the martial path intent from within should be at least left by an expert who stepped into the celestial path. The legend was that during the cloud desolate era, the land was extremely huge. But after the calamity at the end of the cloud desolate era, at least 70% of the land sunk into the cloud ocean. Who knows, this might be the home of that senior that was left behind.”
Zong Shou said while laughing in a self-mocking manner, “I am just randomly guessing, Zhenren, you don’t have to take me seriously. The death energy is spreading about here. Since we have completed our work, I think it is best if we leave sooner…”
Just as he was about to turn around, he heard Jing Tao say seriously, “Your highness please wait up, I do feel that your guess has an 80% probability of being true! I think there are at least 200 more grade 7 beasts within the valley.”
The corner of Zong Shou’s lips curled up, he smiled awkwardly, “I think so too, but so what? With our ability, if we enter, it would be a little risky. To get the items within we will mess up the martial path intent within. If that’s the case, it would rile up the Monster wave. At that time, our fleet will suffer heavy losses. One must know when to be satisfied, with this 10 million grade 4 beast crystals I am already satisfied. I’m not willing to take the risk with my subordinate’s lives…”
The surrounding people were all tempted and pumped up by what Jing Tao said. Even the older and calmer Zong Ling, Zhu Junho and Ling Fakong’s breathing couldn’t help but speed up. But when they heard his words, it was like pouring a bucket of cold water over their heads. It made them come to their senses.
When they thought about it, they were totally ashamed. As Zong Shou said, one couldn’t be too greedy. If they lost their lives because of that treasure that was in their imagination, it would be a total pity.
Then, everyone nearby who heard it was touched. Their ruler was truly a magnanimous and smart person. If it was other prideful and ambitious people, even if they knew it was dangerous, they would take the risk. They definitely wouldn’t care about the lives of their men.
Jing Tao Zhenren helps his breath, frowning as he was deep in thought. Following which he took out an item, “Does your highness know about this time? With this, we just need 300-night wandering spirit masters, and I believe we can stop the beasts for at least an hour!”
Before Zong Shou spoke, that Ling Fakong was shocked, “Is that the Lingyun Sect cloud shocking illusionary token? Legend has it that before the 4th generation ancestor of the sect left the cloud world, he refined such a grade 9 spiritual artifact. He perfectly merged the cloud shocking god destroying intent within…”
Jing Tao Zhenren didn’t speak, just smiling proudly. Zong Shou looked at the sword-shaped token in his hand and was also shocked.
He knew that Jing Tao brought a protective time over to protect these 40 inner sect disciples. However, he didn’t expect this fellow to bring such a treasure. What a total surprise. He could even save those 4 thousand ice lightning arrows.
His heart was willing but his face showed some hesitation, “With this treasure, we do have some confidence. However, for safety sake why not you hand it over to me? As for the times within our, Gantian wants at least 80%! If we make it out, we still have to depend on those 800 energy destroying crossbows…”
That Jing Tao was not good at bargaining, brows furrowing as he thought for a moment before he handed the sword-shaped token to Zong Shou. He said, “Okay! But if there is an advancement item, our Lingyun Sect has priority to choose.”
…he didn’t care about what they got within. Only that treasure that could help beasts evolve, which would most probably be helpful for human cultivators.
Zong Shou was also startled. He had made a bold offer of 80%. He was giving space for him to bargain. Who knew Jing Tao was so ‘decisive’.
Following which he felt the 18 cloud shocking god destroying sword intent seeds in his body fidgeting around crazily. Zong Shou’s heart trembled slightly, silently keeping the token into his sleeves.
With the deal set, Zong Shou didn’t waste any more time. 15 minutes later, the thousand ships lined up, one above another as they continued towards the canyon.
The entry was narrow but space within was extremely spacious. They traveled another 20 miles before their field of sights expanded once more. Hundred thousand feet of canyon land appeared in front of their eyes.
Everyone was slightly astonished. This place didn’t look natural like it was slashed by someone with a sword! All around this place there were visible clues.
Then their eyes lit up as they saw the hundreds of beast corpses lying within.
…It was as Jing Tao had said, all of them were grade 7 beasts! Their number was over 400. Along with the corpse and soul stone, the value was amount to 1500 grade 7 beast crystals. Just the income within the valley was equal to all they got outside of it.
What attracted their attention was the center of the canyon. A person sitting there with a shining Phoenix pattern red sword. The sword shone, it had numerous cracks like it was on the verge of breaking. It was also where the martial intent cane from.
All the grade 7 beasts were all split in the head by a sharp blade.
“It is a magical weapon above grade 2, no wonder!”
The so-called magical weapon was just a magical artifact. Zong Shou exclaimed, however, he didn’t look carefully. Instead, he focused on his Dantian using the power of the token to move the spiritual seeds in his body.
When he grabbed the token just now, the 18 sword intent seeds showed signs of gathering and merging.
With him purposely coordinating, they all merged, like a sword forming within his energy ocean.
The sword energy dissipated around. If his body wasn’t as strong as a peak martial ancestor, it was enough to cause many wounds within his energy ocean.
In his heart, he was impressed and respectful of the Lingyun Ancestor. With his xiantian realm, normally speaking he shouldn’t be able to grasp this sword intent layer of power.
But now, he not only grasped it, but he had the complete cloud shocking god destroying sword intent!
Splitting one sword intent into 18 seeds. People of the Xuanwu ancestor realm will be able to train in them. Once they are merged, it would be the complete sword intent!
Originally, Lingyun Sect disciples at normal speed needed at least to be at the ascended realm to complete this step.
However, Zong Shou was a freak. Not only was he good at the martial path such that he could train in it at xiantian realm, but he had also coincidentally bumped into this cloud shocking illusionary token. Using its power to complete the merger.
However, Zong Shou could feel that this complete sword intent once again exceeded his control. Who knew whether or not taking that step was a blessing or a curse.
Jing Tao on that side had not noticed at all. His eyes were sharp as he swept around. A moment later joy appeared in his eyes.
“Corpse harboring pinnacle sword grass. It is this item…”
Only to see that there were close to a thousand sword-shaped grass growing around the person. Their ages were not equal, some above a thousand, some not even reaching a thousand.
Zong Shou was also alerted, with a look a smile appeared on his face. He also guessed that this would be the item.
A place where corpses gathered and spiritual energy was abundant with coincidentally a magical weapon broken sword with celestial martial intent here, there was at least a 90% chance it would be this grass.
This spiritual grass could help beasts and cultivators raise their level. But the main point is that one had to separate the corpse energy and poison within. One had to be a top pill refiner who knew medicine.
And the moment, one relied on this item to progress, it would leave some repercussions and affect the next breakthrough.
Zong Shou naturally didn’t give this item that much value, but to Jing Tao, who was near the end of his life, it was a huge hope.
However, getting the grass was problematic. All the older sword-shaped spiritual grass were beside the corpse of the celestial expert. Although the magical weapon was close to breaking, it could still kill so many grade 7 beasts. As such, one could see how strong it was.
Seeing Jing Tao look over with pleading gazes, Zong Shou smiled and started laying out the formation.
2 hours later, a full thousand giant ships lined up at the entry of the canyon in a fan formation.
All the archers were gathered on one side. Especially those 800 energy destroying crossbows and the three armed spiritual crossbows which aimed at this point, totally locking this place down.
Zong Shou casually tossed the cloud shocking illusionary token to Ling Fakong. The latter was startled and filled with shock. He thought that Zong Shou would pass it to Zong Ling.
Did this mean that in less than a month, after he ascended, it caused this newly appointed Monster king who was showing signs of becoming prosperous to start to trust The Eye wolf race again?
His face flushed red. However, Ling Fakong didn’t say a word as he started to gather spirit masters to set up formations in the canyon.
There were many spirit masters in Gantian and Xuan mountain. Along with the inner sect disciples of Lingyun Sect, there was enough for 300.
When the formation was formed, a huge mist spread about, looking indiscernible and uncertain, covering tens of miles. It also caused the martial intent here to start to become chaotic.
Zong Shou was silently shocked, Ling Fakong was truly the spirit master with the most formation and leadership talent in Gantian Mountain. The formations were strict and orderly. Even he couldn’t find any mistake at all.
He was thinking whether or not the ships of those 3 cities have arrived or not? He nodded towards Jing Tao, “I am ready. If Zhenren is confident we can start now in case things happen…”
Jing Tao didn’t hesitate, several spiritual talismans shooting out from his fingertip. They turned into spirit light and charged towards that remnant sword.
Zong Shou took a look only to see that those talismans were all able to harm the soul, able to target spiritual artifacts.
However, in the next instance, the area here suddenly trembled.
Jing Tao Zhenren frowned and looked back at his memory. It was as what Zong Shou had said.
90% and above of the grade 6 beast corpses hadn’t reached their death date but instead died to the mental impact that martial intent had on them.
