Divine Brilliance

Chapter 638 - A ritual


Chapter 638: A ritual

The copper coin was still trembling slightly like it was about to jump out into the hands of Zong Shou.

Zong Shou found it weird. Why did this thing seem like it recognized him as its master? What was the reason for this?

Although these Wen King Divination Coins were God Artifacts, the use of this item…

Shaking his head, Zong Shou laughed, “Unfortunately, I am not good in Divination techniques, these things in my hands are a waste. They will only be in the warehouse collecting dust…”

The moment these words were spoken, the few coins calmed down, laying on the ground quietly.

Then, Zong Shou looked toward Kong Rui in shock.

To be able to activate and use these coins, even if it was the roughest use showed that this person had great ability.

It was maybe really the case to say that this person’s Divination techniques were only below Zhongxuan.

“I heard that Country Father-in-Law was the supervisor of the Directorate of Astronomy and Calendar?”

Kong Rui was stunned and didn’t react in time. Zong Shou’s expression turned solemn slowly.

“It is indeed a waste for Country Father-in-Law to do nothing here. Are you willing to be the Imperial Astronomer of my Dynasty?”

Imperial Astronomer?

Kong Rui thought back to a few months ago when his position of supervisor was removed. His passion died and he thought that he would be a free bird for the rest of his life, never working ever again.

However, at this moment he was feeling totally different.

Looking closely at Kong Yao and then at Zong Shou, Kong Rui bowed, “Does Kong Rui dare to not listen to your orders? The Ruler’s trip is extremely dangerous and you should be really careful!”

Zong Shou laughed, casually tossing a set of silver armor and a Spiritual Sword to Kong Yao.

The armor had silver snow patterns and the sword was the Grade-2 Magical Sword that Zong Shou had specially ordered from Kongqi Sect half a year ago.

He was lazy to name it and just called it Alkaid.

Kong Yao picked in up in her hands and was totally shocked.

This silver snow pattern armor was hers, she was getting what she lost back. For some reason she loved the sword and could see that its value wasn’t ordinary.

However, what was the reason for Zong Shou giving her such an item?

She thought that for the rest of her life she wouldn’t have many chances to touch weapons and armor.

“This time Huizhou Island is a little problematic and I would have to go personally!”

When he said that, the corner of his lips curled up coldly. This matter really made him unhappy.

However, then he came back to his senses.

“You can follow me to war!”

Kong Yao exclaimed, looking over at Zong Shou in disbelief. However, there was hesitation in her expression.

Then, Zong Shou smiled and added, “Speaking of which, you must help me share this calamity as it was caused by you, do you really want to stay away from it? If anything bad happens I will use you to block arrows.”

Spending so much effort, using so many methods to obtain Kong Yao from Great Shang, he obviously didn’t do so for this future Top Commander to rot in his palace.

Kong Yao’s eyebrow furrowed, seemingly really furious, “I will go then!”

She cleanly placed the silver armor over her body and kept the sword. The bored and casual demeanor that formed after a year was totally gone. She pressed on her waist in a heroic manner, her armor and clothes were sharp. She returned to the way she was half a year ago, that extremely overbearing female general.

Kong Rui was shocked as he looked on from the side. So that was the case…

A wise Ruler had high hopes for her, no wonder she was like a bright pearl, charging into the heavens in an unstoppable manner!

This was also the reason why the Gantian Monster King wanted him to come over to Gantian Mountain.

He didn’t feel anger, just honored that such a person had such high opinion of him.

He then looked towards the few copper coins on the ground.

Before this, he could only see extreme disaster hiding some good fortune but now there was some minute differences within.

So he really didn’t calculate it wrongly! Alkaid descends, resonating with the stars… Yao’er might not be a Top General talent but her name will sweep the battlefields and she will be in charge of huge wars!

In that instant, if not for him paying attention to prevent himself from disrespecting the Ruler he would have laughed out loud. Kong Rui really wanted to laugh.

He wasn’t wrong, Zhongxuan was the one who was wrong! It was brother! It was His Majesty!

He had actually won a round over Zhongxuan who was said to be unparalleled in Divination…

※※※※

Although he said that he had to rush over to Huizhou Island to take charge, he couldn’t just go right away.

He had to gather troops, prepare rations, as well as weapons and cloud ships. For some reason, Renbo was paying more and more attention to Zhang Huai.

He handed most of this responsibility to Zhang Huai who didn’t hesitate to deal with it all in an orderly manner.

A few nights of hard work and the resources for a few hundred thousand troops were already pushed to the few ports near Rainbow City.

As for troops, the new Ministry of War and Qiuwei was in charge so he didn’t need to worry much about it.

Zong Shou had nothing to do these few days, running to his Chongzheng Hall to look at the Cloud World Monks purify the Avici Throne.

Originally, when the Avici Throne was at its strongest, these monks who were at most Grade-9 couldn’t manage to help these 6 Country Imperial Race vengeful souls cross over to the afterlife.

However, at this moment it had lost most of its energy and hadn’t fully recovered so it was much easier.

However, these monks had to use 2 amazing Buddhist Artifacts. One was a reincarnation compass which had a full 49 relics chiseled within and had a Pure Land Rebirth Sutra drawn on it. Above was a jade crafted skull which surprised Zong Shou.

As a ruler of a country, no matter how free he was, he wasn’t so free that he could watch monks do rituals.

He was only sitting here because he was wary of them and wanted to prevent the monks from doing anything funny on his throne.

49 days of rituals were nearly coming to an end. Most of the vengeful spirits had been purified and sent to the underworld.

The remaining souls were the most stubborn and toughest to handle. They were also extremely strong and the monks here were drenched in cold sweat. Although they nearly used up all of their energy, they were persisting. The incantations were chanted out wave after wave, becoming louder and louder, shaking one’s heart.

Two Buddhist treasures were being used for Jingyin. It seemed like the Buddhists really placed high importance on Zhao Yanran.

However, at this moment her face was green as she sat to the side. There was 100 feet between them.

“Zong Shou well done, you have sold me for such a good price!”

Zong Shou didn’t mind what she said, laughing casually, “Did that monk and Jingyin little nun persuade you to become a nun. You are going to become a Buddha, congratulations…”

Zhao Yanran was furious, she originally wanted to use the Magical Demon Seed Plant to shut Jingyin up, in case this little girl bothered her every day. In the end, Zong Shou returned the ball to her court. Not only did her shield not do anything, the fellow even exchanged her for benefits.

“You are the nun! If you want to become a Buddha why aren’t you going?”

When Jingyin heard this she instantly shook her head, “Sister Yanran, there is nothing bad about being a nun…”

Zhao Yanran was furious while Zong Shou couldn’t help but laugh out loud. Then, the monks within the hall all frowned and looked over unhappily. Only then did he realize that they were still doing a ritual here.

He stopped himself, saying carefully and sincerely, “Such great chances are hard to come by. Yanran you should consider it carefully. If you are worried the Sect will blame you, I can help you answer them. In the future if you can really become a Buddha, as a friend I will be able to benefit. If anything happened to us we can rely on you.”

Zhao Yanran scoffed coldly, “If one day I have such results, the First thing I will do is capture you and cut off your little monk!”

Jingyin didn’t understand and asked in a lost manner, “What is my little monk? Why cut it off?”

The moment she said that, Xuan Yunlan who was watching from the side couldn’t take it and burst out into a laugh. Xuanyuan Yiren’s face turned red, thinking back to that night. Her body went soft. The little monk was good but it was too ferocious.

Zong Shou’s lips twitched, not daring to tease her too much. If he continued, he would make Zhao Yanran furious and enter the Buddhist Faction. If she really wanted to cut his little monk, then that wouldn’t be good. He still needed that thing to Dual Cultivate…

At this point, the chants suddenly changed. If before it was persuading them to move on, then at this moment it was forcing them to.

Each word spat out was like a heavy hammer, not as indirect as before.

Along with the dozens of monks chanting, the blood glow of the Avici Throne slowly dimmed and dissipated.

After 30 minutes passed, the blood Yin power of the throne constricted to one point which was in the middle of it. The Buddhist chants shuddered and remained.

However, there was an image within this hall which slowly formed. One needed to raise their head to see it. It was a 100 foott tall giant with 3 heads and 6 arms. Although its body was covered in a merciful golden light, one couldn’t hide its ferocity.

“Dharma projection?”

Zong Shou took a look and knew that it was a projection of a Vajrapani. It was formed by these monks using the formation.

“It looks like a ghost, how scary!”

He flatly commented and then Jingyin said, “Our Buddhists can send spirits to the afterlife because of the Angry-eyed Vajrapani, wiping out evil spirits!”

Zong Shou smiled and didn’t speak, only seeing a golden light gather in one hand of the projection.

It suddenly transformed into a spear. Along with the incantations, the golden light turned brighter and brighter.

The sharp intent shocked Zong Shou.

Another hour passed and the Vajra Dharma started to slowly dissipate. However, before it was totally gone, the golden spear suddenly stabbed out, hitting right where the blood glow and Yin power was the thickest.

In the next instant, there was a loud explosion within the hall. Huge amounts of Yin power dispersed and the entire roof was flipped.

Zong Shou didn’t worry about it, this was the second building that was destroyed within the Hanyan Palace in these few days.

His body flashed beside the throne. Luckily, it was fine. He thought that the spear had totally destroyed the throne. Who knew that the item was so firm, perfectly fine.

He relaxed, a happy intent rising up in his eyes. The vengeful energy within the throne should have already been totally removed. At least at this moment, he couldn’t find any.
