Chapter 1020: Start Of The Comeback

“What is going on?”

On the 32nd layer, when all the End Realm Saint Venerables turned their eyes toward Tanqiu, Shui Lingbo who helped Zong Shou take charge of the Nine Palace Sword Formation, had a shocked expression on her face.

She had originally closed her eyes and waited to die, quietly muttering Common People’s Path scriptures to herself. At this moment, she opened her eyes wide and looked towards the Common People’s Learning Palace Main Hall.

“Zong Shou?”

She did not know what happened, the only thing she knew was that Zong Shou who was standing in front of the God Refined Sword gave off a shocking aura!

Those words spread over, “Although I am not an elected Ruler, I know the theory of how water can capsize a boat but also allow it to travel. Which is why I give people the power to rule together. Under me, there is a difference between rich and poor, strong and weak but no difference in rights. Using the law to rule the country such that the strong can’t bully the weak. Ruler and people are the same, if they sin they will be punished...”

An extremely sharp sword ring reverberated through the sky! These words were firm and clear while not lacking in determination, ringing out in the entire Vast Habitat.

The Ten Thousand Celestial Formation which was cracking and falling apart under the strikes of the End Realm Saint Venerables suddenly recovered.

Not only did the pressure suddenly reduce, there was a thick and vast ocean-like Essence Energy which injected in, flowing along the Spiritual Patterns and those Energy Meridians all over.

Shui Lingbo also benefited from it. Her meridians which had dried up flowed with an abundance of energy. The effect was even several times better than Lin Xuanshuang’s healing rain!

She looked all around in shock and roughly knew that this was because the Will of the Heavens which had disappeared had once again injected itself into the Vast Habitat. Those nine End Realm Saint Venerables were unable to strike out at the formation in an unrestrained manner.

However, the Essence Energy became weirder and weirder. She tried to deduce the source and it seemed like it came from the 32-layer Golden Pagoda. However, looking deeper, it was actually that teen who stood still in front of the hall.

At this moment, an Illusionary Golden Pagoda floated behind the teen. It was similar to the 32-layer Pagoda but it only had nine layers.

At this moment, it gave out large amounts of light, resonating along with the Ten Thousand Celestial Formation.

“Why does the Common People’s Sword Formation look like it has recovered? Didn’t Taishi already scatter the formation just now?”

“Even the main sword was already destroyed, so how is there still a formation? What is happening?”

“And also this Essence Energy, is it Ancestor Xuanshuang?”

“No...”

The Vast Habitat continued to ring. The six sword auras surged through the skies. They also continued to ring, like they were all calling out to something in unison.

The Common People’s Path disciples who were originally in despair all woke up like they were in a dream.

They either exchanged glances with one another in confusion, or they looked around in search of the source.

In just an instant, their eyes were filled with shock as they all stared out at the area in front of the main hall.

In the next moment, a deafening voice suddenly rang out, pretty much breaking the eardrums of everyone present.

“It is the God Refined Sword! The God Refined Sword has already chosen a master...”

“It is Tanqiu! The Heavens have eyes, they bless our Vast Habitat! We won’t be wiped out this time!”

The entire Vast Habitat was in an uproar. The nine End Realm Saint Venerables on the 31st layer were all slightly stunned and then their faces turned green.

Xingya scoffed coldly and stepped down furiously. Tens of thousands of black blades stabbed the layers of light, charging towards Tanqiu.

However, just as he got close, a thick physical layer of light appeared. When the black blades struck in, it was like a cow made out of mud entering the ocean, disappearing totally.

Xingya’s expression changed. Looking at the situation, he knew that he wouldn’t be able to block it. Not only him, the other people would be the same.

Currently, Zong Shou was protected by the entire formation and no one would be able to hurt him at all. Instead, one would be clashing straight with the formation.

In that instant, those six streaks of Sword Light also reacted.

They seemed to be annoyed at his actions, drawing at least a small half of the Will of the Heavens over, forcefully surging over.

Even if he was the World Stepping Demon Lord Xingya, he could only grit his teeth now and barely hold on. He had no excess strength to bother about anything else.

Only then would he not fall back down. His cultivation was suppressed to around 70%.

“God Refined Sword Master? Interesting. Tanqiu? I have heard of this person, one of the Six Pinnacle Swords of the Cloud World.”

Qingxuan laughed coldly, but there was no smile in the depths of his eyes, instead, they were completely dark, filled with uncertainty.

“However, it seems like this God Refined Sword hasn’t totally recognized this Sword Master. Xiuguan, am I right?”

Xiuguan smiled. What Qingxuan said was indeed the truth and he couldn’t argue with that. However, what this person didn’t know was that the God Refined Sword Sword Spirit in Zong Shou’s hands long ago.

The sword had already chosen him as his master and only that one step was lacking.

Since Zong Shou had already ripped apart that knowledge barrier, then no one in the world would be able to stop him from taking control of that sword!

The only thing he was surprised about was that nine-layer pagoda.

He recognized this item, it was also something left by Xi Zi. It was said to have been crafted for the Ruler of a country and its use was simple. It could suppress all evil spirits and demons, able to become big or small. When it was big, it could become 99,999-foot large, weighting 99,999 small Sumeru Mountains; when it was small it was like a mustard seed, light as a feather.

Apart from that, it could prevent the invasion of the soul from King Path Energy. If one used King Path Martial Arts to control it, its strength would be even more apparent.

At that time, he found it really weird. What Xi Zi strove for was equality, so why did he craft a King Path Artifact?

Just like that, the Thirty-Three Great Cycle of Heaven, only someone with King Energy could grasp it.

What he was more surprised about was this pagoda which no one could bind to.

Even if one forcefully bound to it, its abilities were all sealed.

The only use would be to suppress King Path Energy. However, no one in the Common People’s Path had any use of it.

Only today were his doubts answered.

Looking at the pagoda, it was obviously connected to the formation, like it was the true core of it!

Wei Xu was the one who gave this item to Zong Shou, coincidentally handing it to the right person. Who knows whether Xi Zi predicted it or if it was the Heaven’s Will?

At this moment, Zong Shou was far from just the Sword Master of the God Refined Sword!

The noise below slowly calmed down, and the entire Vast Habitat turned silent.

Zong Shou’s voice continued.

Blood had dyed the entire God Refined Sword, each and every inch of it red.

He held the sword and he was not only flesh and blood connected, he was one with it.

Vengeful energy gathered in the sword, and many talismans charged at his heart.

“Swear! Spead, become, Heaven, Emperor, thirty-three, kill! Kill! Kill!”

Zong Shou didn’t bother, he was still really calm.

“I can’t spread the wealth and can’t balance power, however, if I am the God Refined Sword Master, I will continue my Master’s wishes, swearing to bring equality to the billions under my rule! I swear to everyone under the Heavens!”

Then, the shaking within the Vast Habitat became more and more intense, Heaven and Earth tearing apart. A Golden Pagoda broke the main hall of the palace and charged out from below!
