Divine Brilliance

The bottle dove into the pond and collected 10% of the darker-looking liquid before it stopped.

Zong Shou nodded his head. This Ye Feishuang knows her place.

However, looking at this deep pond, he frowned slightly. At the moment, his Lightning Winged Flood Dragon was at the peak of grade-7. However, it was still quite a distance away from turning into a dragon.

Did he have to wait till they go out before he thought about it?

On the side, Ye Feishuang seemingly saw what was bothering him. She laughed coldly, “If you want to transform it into a dragon then it is best you do it here. It isn’t that you can’t collect the fountain water. But its effects will greatly reduce. I have a few drops of Lightning Dragon Blood that I can lend you. However, in the future do remember to return it.”

She suddenly threw a small bottle. Ye Feihan also came back to her senses after she heard her sister. “I have some too!”

She searched her Heaven and Earth bag and took out a small bottle. This made Ye Feishuang stare at her furiously.

Zong Shou didn’t mind at all and took it without a care. After opening it, his eyes were filled with joy.

This was the blood of a Celestial Realm True Dragon! It might not be as good as Aokun, but it was still of the Lightning Bloodline and thus, the effects would be a little stronger.

He kept a few drops, as for the rest of it? He shot it into the mouth of the Lightning Winged Flood Dragon after it appeared once more.

The latter roared out and swung its tail before suddenly diving into the pond. Spiritual light swept about, and the pond started to boil, numerous water bubbles rising to the surface.

Following this, silence flooded the entire area.

Zong Shou was originally filled with anticipation. Now, he was quite startled. He looked curiously at Feishuang and Feihan.

They rubbed the corner of their heads as if they had a headache, “Do you think it’s so easy to transform into a dragon? Normally it takes at least 49 days. Even with the fountain helping out, it would probably take 24 hours!”

Zong Shou’s mouth opened wide when he heard this, he let out an awkward smile. He nearly forgot that he had read information about it in books.

After looking closely at the pond, only then he could see that the Lightning Winged Flood Dragon finally had some movement. Its skin and meat were tearing apart, its body twisting about like it was ripping itself out from within.

In just a moment, it was filled with wounds. However, the effects of the Energy Accumulating Fountain were really amazing. No matter how heavy the injuries were, they would swiftly heal and ensure that the Lightning Winged Flood Dragon was filled with essence energy.

“Is this fountain the so-called Dragon Transformation Pond?”

After noticing Ye Feishuang’s smiling expression, Zong Shou had some ideas. In the next instance, he called out Hanxi and the other six silver ants.

He exchanged glances with the Saint Fire Ant Queen. Only until it looked away from him did Zong Shou laugh coldly.

He quickly threw them all into the pond.

Ye Feishuang was shocked upon seeing this, “Are you crazy? If one isn’t a descendant of a dragon, then it’s poisonous!”

However, while she was speaking, Zong Shou unlocked his soul suppression on Hanxi. The latter had a joyous expression in its eyes. Numerous silver threads reached out from its body, wrapping it up into that of a cocoon.

The other six silver ants were the same, only that their sizes were slightly smaller. All of them sunk to the depths of the pond. Not only were they perfectly fine, but they were even directly swallowing in a portion of the fountain water.

Ye Feishuang’s mouth went agape when she saw this. A while later, she comprehended what was happening. “These silver ants are natural variants?”

Zong Shou laughed but didn’t speak. This Ye Feishuang really changed a lot, she had already become so knowledgeable. She was still cuter in the past when she didn’t know anything but acted as if she did.

※※※※

The Lightning Winged Flood Dragon needed at least around 24 hours to transform. There were no other people who could find this place, so it was relatively safe. The few of them left on their own and searched for the other spiritual items within this small-sized vast habitat.

The abundance of spiritual energy here was no lower than that of the common people’s vast habitat. Zong Shou brought Zong Yuan and Ruoshui to sweep about. He didn’t find anything too good, but he still grabbed a bunch of the older spiritual herbs.

This was to barely make up for the losses for getting into this place.

An hour later, they had all gathered at the pond again. Currently, Zong Shou was looking at the south direction of the vast habitat. There was actually an 81 stone stair high jade platform.

“Miss Feishuang, why didn’t the two of you go take a look at that platform?”

Within this vast habitat, the results of their discussion were that they would each split-search half of the area. Items under grade-7 would go to the finder. As for those that are grade-7 and above it, then it would be a 9/1 ratio.

Surprisingly, Ye Feishuang and the Ice Flood Dragon puppet didn’t head to the stone platform which obviously hid treasures.

What made Zong Shou feel weird was that Ye Feishuang’s brows furrowed when she heard his words. Soul power was injected into her eyes, “What stone platform?”

Zong Shou was shocked, he only thought that he probably saw it wrong or maybe perhaps it was an illusion. He looked at Zong Yuan and Ruoshui, only to see the same confused look on both of their faces.

He looked forward while injecting true qi and soul power into his eyes. However, no matter how much he looked, the jade stone platform was still there to his south.

His pupils constricted before he rose up without hesitation.

In just a few breaths, he stood beneath the stone platform. Zong Shou probingly stepped out a single leg.

It was a truly a staircase, it felt so real. His eyes lit up as he continued to climb upwards.

When he reached the 49th step, he felt a heavy pressure descend on him. It was crushing his body.

Before he was able to react, white and black whirlpools came out of his body.

The moment the black and white hole dharmas appeared, the stone platform was sliced.

Half of it went into the thick darkness, and the other into blinding light.

The pressure that nearly smashed his bones disappeared.

Zong Shou’s eyes rose up, he didn’t think much about it. He continued climbing the staircase as he kept the dharma.

On the jade platform was a 3-layer building. Before he came here, he was too far away and couldn’t have a clear look at what was here. At the moment, he saw a signboard above that wrote ‘Stargazing Tower’.

He didn’t notice much before and could only feel weird now. By using the strength of his eyes, how couldn’t he see clearly from ten thousand feet out?

This Stargazing Tower was in such a narrow and small vast habitat. In the sky, there was only the projection of the sun. Not to mention stars, there wasn’t even a moon. What stargazing?

He had many questions in his heart, but he still pushed open the door and walked in.

He stood there, sucking in a deep breath. He saw that this building was totally different from the ancient buildings he had in mind.

What he saw was the night sky. Around him were numerous stars.

After stepping in, it was felt like he was in a part of the galaxy.

Apart from beneath his legs which were still the stone steps. The North, South, East, West, Up, Down, Left, and Right. Basically, in all directions, were endless void...

Even after reaching out with his spiritual sense, he was unable to touch the edge. The surrounding area was completely silent. Apart from some microparticles, the rest was just air.

A brief clarity of understanding appeared in Zong Shou’s heart. The door was most probably a space tunnel. The tower was just on the surface.

The stone steps stretched into the distance for ten thousand feet out. At the end, there was a stone platform, however, it was even larger than the previous one he saw.

On it was a gigantic metal instrument that was formed with several rings, each of them locking onto one another.

Zong Shou walked near it. Upon close observation, he could see that there was a stone stele which had the words ‘World Viewing Instrument’.

“World Viewing Instrument? World viewing? What big words. Could this thing really view a world?”

Zong Shou wasn’t sure, he thought to himself that the master of this place exaggerating things. However, he could only feel his curiosity growing. He walked under the giant instrument.

At the center was a circular spell altar. Around it was a spiritual formation that he couldn’t understand, it seemed that it should be used to control the instrument.

Zong Shou walked onto the altar and looked around. He couldn’t hide the disappointment on his face. There weren’t any usable spiritual artifacts or magical treasures, there were no signs of any celestial treasures here.

As for the formation on it, it was simply too profound and deep to the point that he couldn’t understand it at all.

As for the huge instrument near him, he didn’t know how to use it at all.

Just as he wanted to turn back, he heard mechanical noises behind him. He was shocked. When he instinctively looked behind him, he saw that the circular rings which weren’t moving previously, suddenly start to spin.

Their speed only got faster and faster by the moment. Following this, rays of starlight shot in from all directions. This caused all the circular rings to give off a purple gold talisman light.

Zong Shou’s expression slightly changed as he tried to leave. However, at this moment, the spell altar under him shone brightly.

Numerous layers of transparent light barriers tightly wrapped this small altar. It continued stretching upwards continuously for 81 layers before finally stopping!

Zong Shou was trapped within, unable to move at all. His expression turned dark and constantly changed, however, his mind was calm, totally composed.

Although he didn’t know what was happening. Since he couldn’t get away he could only watch on quietly. Even if he was anxious, it was useless.

A moment later, when the rings spun at an amazing speed, the spiritual light steadily got brighter and brighter.

Instantly, the void totally tore apart.

The stars and the World Viewing Instrument had disappeared.

Below him, there was only the small spell altar and the 81 layer body-protecting barriers.

“Where is this place? Can I still return?”

Such thoughts subconsciously rose up in his mind. After which, a small light exploded in the distance.

The eye-piercing light shone all out. The brightness was even higher than that of his white dharma.

It shone through the 81 layers and stabbed into his eyes such that it hurt.

However, who knows if it was because of the formation? The light was swiftly swelling up and crazily expanding in all directions. Matter was being spat out.

At this moment, Zong Shou was in a trance.

... These were the scenes of the ‘Absolute Beginning’.
