Chapter 628: Preparing To Extort

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

“Heaven Barrier?”

Zong Shou sighed, retracting his Spiritual Sense and he stopped looking inside his body.

He had charged open the Earth Gate of the Heaven Barrier. Now all that remained was this Heaven Gate at the tip of his head.

If this barrier wasn’t broken, then he would be a layer away from this Heaven and Earth, unable to enter the Spirit Realm.

Looking at it, at this moment he noticed that he had underestimated this layer.

It wasn’t without reason that the Heaven Barrier was said to be the most impossible body quality to cultivate.

To break it, one’s body accumulation must be at a shocking level. Based on what he knew, only a few people were able to cultivate using barriers from Heaven. Most of them used external strength to break through the Heaven Barrier to step into the Spirit Realm.

However, even then their foundations were still really thick, far above cultivators of the same grade.

Because they all left the Cloud World after they entered the Spirit Realm, no one knew what happened after.

One could see that the Sects these people were from all felt proud of them. Looking at how they were praised, one could see that their achievements were definitely not bad.

If he wanted to break through, he current attainments were still a little lacking.

Thinking about this, he reached out and obtained a green-blue, water-like Spiritual Liquid in his hand.

This was the Spiritual Essence Jade Marrow, merging in from his fingers and slowly seeping into his body.

The Spiritual Essence Jade Marrow could cause the body to be more compatible with Heaven and Earth, purifying one’s Spiritual Senses.

This allowed one to obtain some Spirit Realm Cultivator strength before the Spirit Realm.

People like him who were perturbed by the barriers from Heaven viewed these as top treasures.

When he was within the Third Dragon Hall, Zong Shou obtained a huge ball. Every ten days he would use it once and to date he only used 10% of it.

This was already the thirteenth drop. However, moments later Zong Shou shook his head helplessly.

Although this item was still a little useful, its effects were minute. The Spiritual Sense changes could barely be sensed. The weakening of the layer within the Heaven Gate was also extremely little.

It seemed like he could throw this ball to Xuanyuan Yiren to see what kind of pills she could refine.

Ruoshui and Zong Yuan were charging for Grade-8 and they could use this item.

As for this Heaven Barrier, he wasn’t in a rush so he could just slowly accumulate.

He already had the Book of Eon and had more advantages than others. He also had forty to fifty years of lifespan and didn’t need to worry about it now.

Thinking about this, Zong Shou smiled, tossing aside the burdens in his heart. Following this, he looked at the remnant pieces of the Book of the Universe.

He first took out hundreds of sheets of purple gold paper and then a black liquid.

The paper was weaved from the silk of a hundred-year, purple-gold silkworm. Only the Spiritual House and above sect could feed it, it was the best talisman creation material. Each year, only 300 pieces would be produced as it was extremely expensive.

However, the ones in his hand were snatched.

As for the black liquid, it was spiritual ink, no different from what talisman makers used.

If one had to point out about something different it would be that there were Saint Realm teachings mixed within.

The Cloud World had many Spiritual Houses and magical books. Aokun’s blood was something that Zong Shou couldn’t easily let flow outside. However, it was enough just to use the Spiritual Salamander blood.

As for the Universe Creation Records remnants, Zong Shou copied it all.

It took him a dozen days to replicate three pages.

Although he wanted to continue, he didn’t have enough materials.

Looking closely at the pages, Zong Shou laughed out loud and ripped the book in his hand. He split it into a few dozen pages, assembling it with the other pages he copied.

With that, it turned into four, becoming four remnant Universe Book fragments.

However, his book copying ability wasn’t very good. The four books were hard to look at, some of the true intent was difficult to copy completely.

Only people who wanted to get drunk didn’t care about the wine. People who wanted the book most probably cared about who wrote the book more than the details within.

To find his tracks, a few pages were enough. It was useless even if one had many. Those few people could probably understand.

Zong Shou was filled with anticipation. His bag was empty and he could only hope to use these few books to get some money from those rich people. After all, he did spend a decent amount to copy too.

Splitting it into four also would not offend anyone.

That was right, didn’t he have two heads in his bag? They might be able to be sold for a good price.

Keeping the book, Zong Shou smiled and stepped out of the cultivation room. The moment he walked out, a few talismans appeared in his hands.

Using his Spiritual Sense to look, his lips curled up coldly. What a coincidence, just as he cane out of seclusion, completing the copying job, these few people had already arrived.

How many days have it been since the Yin Dragon Canyon matter ended? It seems like these people all couldn’t wait.

He walked confidently and stepped into the void. In just a moment, Zong Shou was already in the sky above Gantian Mountain...

Only to see the few people here already waiting. One of them was Wuji who he saw in the Yin Dragon Canyon and Ten Thousand Buddha Vast Habitat, Zifang was also here. The third person was covered in a layer of black mist and although it was under the blazing sun, it continued to surge non-stop. He was most probably from the Demon Sect.

As for the last person, his body was covered in a cold aura. People with such a quality, without needing much thought, there was a 90% chance he was from Sword Sect.

The fifth was a green-colored scholar, who looked really scholarly and elegant, emanating a bookworm aura.

Zong Shou squinted his eyes and walked over.

There were actually five people, that was surprising. Now it was time to see which one of the five would give a higher price.

※※※※

West of Donglin, in a busy port... only to see a thousand sails dancing in the ethereal cloud mist...

At each moment, there would be dozens of cloud ships charging out of the port and sailing into the Vast Cloud Ocean. On the pier it was extremely busy and goods were stacked up like mountains. People were busy buzzing about.

On this noon, a three-layer turreted ship slowly traveled into the port. Amongst the close to thousand ships, it didn’t stand out. It was really normal, at most the decorations were more exquisite.

However, at the side of the ship there was a Kong word symbol. It docked not at a commoner pier but at a military one.

“This is rainbow city?”

Kong Rui stepped down from the deck, his eyes at a loss as he looked around.

He knew that the busiest port in Donglin was also in the west at Taoyun City.

However, ever since Zong Shou unified Donglin, Rainbow city which was one of the earliest ones that came under their direct rule started to prosper. It was a giant city, no smaller than Gantian Mountain.

Although he knew that the city was huge, he didn’t expect it to be this prosperous.

Looking out from the ship, he realized that not only were there many people, looking over the orderly warehouse region there were beautiful buildings.

Even Great Shang who had ruled for 1700 years, didn’t have ten cities which could be compared to this.

“Greetings Country Father in law!”

The moment he walked down there was someone who welcomed him. It was an Official from Rainbow City but there were only a few of them. They didn’t save on any rites and rituals and their expressions weren’t haughty nor prideful.

There were no intentions to get close, the tone was also quite respectful.

Kong Rui only felt a chill in his heart, it seemed like her daughter wasn’t having a good time in Gantian Mountain.

If the Ruler really adored her these Officials wouldn’t treat him like this.

Right as he came down from the ladder and stepped onto land, he was shocked.

This was Donglin Cloud Continent. He would probably stay on this land for the rest of his life...

Probably until he died, it would be tough for him to return home.

He was distracted for a moment before he bowed back, “Thank you Officials for welcoming me, Kong Rui thanks you!”

Out of those people, the one that led shifted away and smiled awkwardly, “I don’t dare to accept it! I am Weiyuan, the Rainbow City prefect. Today, the country father-in-law has arrived, we should have had a bigger welcome, but things happened within the city and most of the members in the residence were sent out. Country father-in-law please don’t blame me for the disrespect.”

Kong Rui didn’t fully believe him, but looking at his anxiousness, it was like there was really something that happened within the city.

He also calmed down, it seemed like even if his daughter wasn’t adored she wasn’t treated that badly.

Following this, he looked curiously at this person who called himself the Rainbow City prefect.

Was he really the prefect? Why was he dressed no differently from the people behind him?

Ruling such a huge city, his status should be not much different from the Capital Officials of the Emperor Capital City.

They were primary Grade-3 High Officials who could aspire to be the Prime Minister. This person’s status in Gantian Mountain should be around the same.

However, why was it like this? Looking at his clothing, the official uniform was made of cheap materials. The design was not bad, a really clean and refreshing aura but there were no other decorative items.

“It is to save money...”

Weiyuan saw through his doubts and mocked himself, “At the start it was what Ruler said, saying that I can’t treat myself as an Official and can’t let myself feel too delighted about being an Official. Then, the Prime Minister felt that the uniform expenditure was too huge and there was no need so he agreed with the Ruler and removed it.”

Kong Rui was startled and knew that the Prime Minister Weiyuan referred to was most probably Renbo.

They had heard about this person within the Emperor Capital. In the past, people praised him but his recent evaluations weren’t that good.

Now it seems like both the Ruler and Prime Minister didn’t simply go against the path...
