His gaze was in a blur. It wasn’t until that giant lightning dragon tried to swallow his consciousness did he come back to his senses. His intent exploding and directly smashing the illusion.

There was such a picture on both left and right. Just that the angle was different and the comprehension was different.

Then he felt the lightning winged Yang dragon in his stomach turn hot, like it had gone through something, shaking in his body

At this moment, Zong Yuan has arrived in front of another wall drawing and was silently watching.

8 minutes later, Zong Yuan’s eyes which were as intense as a pilgrim slowly faded and regained his consciousness.

Zong Shou smiled and asked, “How many have you seen?”

“12! If I can comprehend it I might understand a whole new martial path intent. Unfortunately, I can’t but it is indeed beneficial for the maniac lightning spear intent.”

As he said Zong Yuan’s eyes locked onto the giant lightning dragon drawing on the wall, “Especially these 2 drawings which makes one’s pores open!”

The spear in his hand waving in the stone room, the lightning glow exploding like a circling dragon whilst filled with a domineering aura.

Zong Shou was surprised, he had just seen 18 illusions only. It wasn’t because of his comprehension was much higher than Zong Yuan but due to his past life foundations. As such, he was able to sense these pictures.

He pointed to the ice and fire intersecting giant dragons, “What did you see in the picture?”

Zong Yuan frowned, he said helplessly, “I only saw some lines.”

Zong Shou was speechless, as expected the same thing was different in the eyes of everyone.

Probably that giant lightning dragon was different in the eyes of the two of them.

Just as he wanted to leave, Zong Shou had a thought and looked above. Only to see natural patterns jumping into his eyes. It was dim and it was unassuming. If he didn’t pay attention he wouldn’t be able to notice it.

The only reason that it attracted Zong Shou was that there were 9 natural lines.

“What is that? There seem to be like sword path attacks but if used out it seems to be lacking a little. Is that following the dragon veins? It seems a little wrong. Legend had it that the dragon shadow old man was a Monster race member with the legacy of the dragon blood. He has dragon veins and spent his life work studying the 9 true dragons in heaven and earth. Comprehending the 9 true dragon sword intent and managing to merge them all at the end of cloud desolate era, creating the dragon shadow space. His combat strength was strong, even stronger than true dragons. Is that related?”

Unable to get an answer, Zong Shou swept his eyes around. He didn’t notice much more, only memorizing the patterns in his mind.

Then he started to search for the next area. Based on the map, this time he seemed to find a stone cave easily like he was extremely familiar with it.

Based on the markings on the map, this was the sword mark area. It was also a 50 feet wide stone room.

When Zong Shou arrived here there were already 5-6 people here. When Zong Shou looked at the 2 stone walls, both were empty, only having sword marks.

Zong Shou’s eyes lit up knowing that these marks were obviously left by an expert. Although it is only at the strength level, not at the sense level, it was much better than what he had instructed Lei Dong.

As compared to the wall pictures which was extravagant and baseless, it was much easier for one to understand.

He gestured along with the sword marks until he could copy it before he left in satisfaction.

What made him surprised was that he could only understand 18 sword marks, as for the rest, he couldn’t understand anything at all.

Also, the roof of the stone room, which seemed mysterious, also had patterns which formed naturally. However, the way it grew was much different. This time there were also 9 veins.

Zong Shou didn’t make a sound as he memorized it. After Zong Yuan understood those over ten sword marks they swiftly took their leave. However just as they stepped out of the stone hall, they heard 2 people discussing causally.

The first person sighed, “26 sword marks, unfortunately, I only managed to understand 6 of them in this half a day. I heard that as long as one comprehends a portion of these sword marks one can comprehend one of the nine true dragon sword intents. Once one learns them all, once could even learn the nine dragon shadow sword. Seems like I, Shi Zhe, am not fated with this dragon shadow sword.”

“Why is Brother Shi so depressed? I heard that out of these 26 marks a small number is fake, only 18 are real. For you to comprehend 6 in half a day that’s already a third. Such comprehension is already not weaker than those direct disciples from those large sects.”

Zong Shou was startled, there were 8 out of the 26 that were fake? So it seems like he had comprehended all 18.

The 3 stone room was the broken sword art area recorded on the map.

This time Zong Shou didn’t see the words on the left and right walls but looked directly above. There weren’t any markings and there weren’t any veins.

Zong Shou’s brows furrowed, then he looked towards the 2 sides.

He saw the 1st sentence was, “The dragon fights in the wilderness. Its blood is yellow.”

The second was “Can be big can be small, can rise and can hide: the large ones hide in the clouds and spit out mists. The small once is good at hiding; flying up into the galaxy, or hiding in waves”.

The third sentence “When the emperor steps on the clouds and travels in mid-air he can still hear the words of people. At that moment it’s like the dawn of civilization, the opening of the floodgates”…

He couldn’t understand, but he felt that the words were like dragon-shaped and hiding within, flowing about.

Zong Shou had a thought, comparing it to the pictures and the sword marks he saw before. As expected there was something mysterious.

However, no wonder the Haoxuan Sect would say that it is broken. There were still many uncompleted meanings and unexplained mysteries behind it.

When Zong Shou looked over sentence by sentence and differentiated the real or fake of the 26 sentences and raised his head once more, he was startled.

There were 9 veins above. Before this, when he looked, there was nothing!

“Could one only see these veins after one comprehended those pictures?”

He was startled, he didn’t hesitate to move forward and walked towards the next spot.

On this map, there were a total of 8 areas. Zong Shou was like a mad man, visiting 7 of them one by one, his expression getting more and more solemn.

…as expected it was connected, every time he comprehended 2 types, there would be one more veins that appeared above.

However, until now, he was still unable to understand the connection between the 7 veins. They were intersecting and running through one another, seemingly like they were unable to be connected together.

Zong Yuan at the side was feeling weirder. He realized that Zong Shou seemed to be getting more and more familiar with the route of the cave. No matter they passed it or not, he didn’t need to think and just traveled swiftly.

With Zong Shou’s age, it was impossible for him to pass by this place. The only explanation was that he had found out the mystery of the cave. But how was that possible?

When he reached the 7th stone room, there were tens of people squeezing in the 50 feet area, such that water couldn’t even flow. Luckily, most of them haven’t comprehended a martial path and he could suppress them.

However, Zong Yuan could feel a few serious and cold gazes looking over.

… it was like that during the 5th and 6th caves.

At this moment, Zong Shou seemed to be demonized and didn’t sense anything. He could only be on alert and defend against all sides.

The 8th place was the only hall that was 3 thousand feet big. It could be considered the main hall of this maze. One just needed to follow the widest tunnel and one would be able to arrive. It was also the best choice to leave the maze from.

At the start, Zong Shou thought there would be many who gather here which was why he didn’t choose to come here first. At this moment, he had to come.

His heart seemed to be crazy as he tried to search for the connection between the 7 veins, he felt a cold intent siege him.

When he came to his senses and looked forwards, he saw several colds glowing things shoot over.

Just as he tried to dodge, a spear struck from behind. Many spears stab out, flicking all the arrows away.

In the next instant, he heard a sound.

“Interstellar shift!”

Zong Shou’s heart sank. Just as he was about to cast a spell, he felt a weird force added to his body. A moment later he felt the heaven and earth spin. When everything stabilized he appeared in a wide cave.

The tens of people in front of him were looking coldly at him. Yue Guanyun, Xiong Yu and their men were opposite. Zong Yang who escaped from Gantian mountain was also within, revealing a gleeful expression.

Behind him were 3 snow dressed people who were grade 6 experts. The 2 behind were spirit masters each in charge of a formation. Their faces were ashen white like they consumed a lot of energy. Looking at the formation, it was a space teleportation formation.

The one in front was a peak Xuanwu ancestor who smiled as he bowed, “Xue family Xue Shuifan greets your highness. Using hidden weapons to distract Zong Yuan and use spells to teleport you away, what does your highness think about my plan?”

Zong Shou didn’t reply. He knew he was careless and was too devoted to the dragon shadow sword. If these people didn’t teleport him but tried to kill him he would have noticed.

He didn’t think highly of the guy’s plan. However, no matter what, he had succeeded so there wasn’t much Zong Shou could say.

Looking around, Xue Shuifan smiled, “is your highness looking for someone to help? This place is the corner of the maze. My few senior brothers used spells, sky fox illusionary techniques. In a short moment, no one can arrive. Which means that even if we kill you hear no one will know.”

“What’s with all the crap?” Yue Linghuan’s face turned green as he scoffed, “End it quickly, I need his head to pray to my father’s spirit in heaven!”

“Hehe, words aren’t said like that! Doesn’t Brother Yue want your 3 provinces of land?”

Xue Shuifan shook his head, then he saw Zong Shou laughed evilly, “What I hate the most are people like you! You think you won?”

His heart was startled as he saw Zong Shou’s body turn into an afterimage as he pounced towards him.

Before everyone could react, a loud roar spread out from beside Xiong Yu. A ten feet high body was first to leap out. At the same time, a knife light shot out from Zong Zhou’s sleeves.

Xue Shuifan instinctively pushed Zong Yang in front of him. Only to hear a thud as Zong Yang’s chest was smashed into pieces by a thin fist.

There was another sword image that slashed diagonally from the most unbelievable angle, slicing right at his neck.
