Chapter 116: Chapter 116 Strike the Void and Trace the Flowing Light!

"Qin Dao, with our departure, we have broken away completely from the Zhou Dynasty," Ji Lu sighed softly, as worry gradually appeared on her face.

"Whether we break away or not will depend on the strength Great Chu has prepared for this war."

Liang Hui gazed down at the mountains passing by incessantly beneath him, as he withdrew his hand from the railing.

"As long as the situation in Tuzhou becomes increasingly unfavorable for Zhou, our position will become that much safer."

"But wars always come to an end one day."

Liang Hui did not answer; what he needed was time, the time for him to grow.

The upcoming war, as well as the subsequent suppression, would both require time.

Raising his head, his gaze was deep as he watched the border between Zhou and Chu.

Being treated like a chess piece by Qi Meridian experts today did not sit well with him.

He only hoped that those few wouldn’t die too soon.

...

Ten days later.

Beast Taming Sect, within a palace.

Clad in a blue robe, Liang Hui was seated cross-legged in the center of the palace, carefully flipping through a Jade Scroll.

The Jade Scroll contained an essence of extremely high quality, exuding a special aura that far surpassed the Qi Meridian Notes in his chest.

This was the Spiritual Martial Tome of the Beast Taming Sect: the Divine Vein Inheritance Cultivation Technique that could take one from Skin Refinement Cultivation all the way to the Divine Veins stage in martial arts.

It was one of the most important inheritances of the Beast Taming Sect, and at this moment, it was being perused by the young man without any reservations.

Since the fight between Zhou and Chu ten days earlier, the higher-ups of the Beast Taming Sect had truly started to trust Liang Hui.

They believed he was the hope for the sect’s rise, and the resources allocated to him had already far exceeded those of a normal Taoist Child.

However, the essence of the Jade Scroll in his hand was too profound. He was not yet able to ’enter the dream’, and could only read its contents.

"Taoist Child, it’s terrible! Something bad has happened!"

The shouting of a woman could be heard from outside the palace.

Liang Hui closed the Jade Scroll in his palm and tucked it into his chest.

"Jeang Yun, come in."

Creak!

The grand doors of the palace were pushed open directly, and a woman in a yellow dress hurried in.

Liang Hui picked up the teacup that lay aside, taking a sip.

"Has there been a change in the war between Zhou and Chu?"

After returning to the sect, Liang Hui had instructed Jeang Yun to keep a close eye on the conflict between Zhou and Chu.

And to inform him if there were any significant developments.

"Taoist Child, after seven days of stalemate, the Zhou Dynasty suffered a crushing defeat, and its army scattered for thousands of miles."

"The Chu Army has divided into several groups and is pillaging the cities."

"I see," Liang Hui said, his expression indifferent. He was well-prepared for such an outcome.

And the development of the situation was very favorable for him.

He waved his hand, signaling for Jeang Yun to leave.

Liang Hui did not take out the Jade Scroll to look at it again but instead immersed his consciousness into his mind.

The Flowing Light Bell quivered lightly, and the progress of his cultivation was reflected within his heart.

Organ Refining (94.25%), Warm Nurturing (99.99%)

Over the past half a month, the Crimson Cloud Sword had devoured a large number of precious Fire Attribute resources.

Liang Hui could clearly feel the satisfaction coming from the Crimson Cloud Sword; he knew the time for a breakthrough had arrived.

He took out an ancient mirror obtained from slaying an enemy, channeled his Inner Strength into it, and a flash of golden light swept through.

The doors and walls of the palace were coated with a layer of gold, and Liang Hui took out a Fire Attribute strange stone for the final devouring.

As the strange stone in his palm turned into ash-colored rubble,

The circling ancient sword of vermilion and gold in Liang Hui’s belly suddenly came to a halt.

Bright vermilion and gold lights burst forth from the sword, turning into specks of luster that scattered throughout his body.

In an instant, overwhelmingly powerful energy filled Liang Hui’s entire being.

That was pure power, uninvolved with any muscle or skeletal transformation, as if it was only natural to be born this way.

Afterwards, the Crimson Cloud Sword that had been suspended still above his abdomen began to slowly circle, its reddish-gold color becoming increasingly brilliant and sparkling.

’Is this the Lifebound Level?’

Liang Hui sighed softly.

He keenly sensed the surge of strength within his body.

Then, he focused his consciousness on the brand new Crimson Cloud Sword.

In Liang Hui’s perception, the Crimson Cloud Sword could be controlled as easily as his own limbs.

It could perform all sorts of sword strikes in an instant, executing various swordsmanship moves while hovering in the air.

With a mere thought, the Crimson Cloud Sword appeared in front of the young man.

The blinding brilliance, the scorching heat, filled the entire palace in an instant.

In that moment, what stood before Liang Hui seemed like a round of reddish-gold sun.

As the controller, however, he could clearly sense these temperatures without them causing him the slightest harm.

His unprotected palm grasped the sword hilt, all the searing heat seemed nonexistent.

Strength, sharpness, a sense of fullness, filled Liang Hui’s heart.

In that moment, he felt he could split the Vault of Heaven.

His other hand, free, slowly stroked the blade.

The dazzling brilliance and the fierce heat both began to subside.

The Lifebound Sword Weapon transformed into an ordinary ancient sword with golden patterns.

With a twist of thought, the Lifebound Sword Weapon retracted into his abdomen.

Ha! Ha! Ha!

The youth couldn’t help but chuckle, not because he had become stronger after the Taoist breakthrough.

But because he could now control more of the Flowing Light Bell’s power.

Before the laughter fell, a Flowing Light Bell radiating Eternal Radiance appeared in front of the youth.

Gazing at the bronze bell before him, Liang Hui could clearly feel that, with the breakthrough to the Lifebound Level,

He could mobilize more of the Flowing Light Bell’s power and manipulate it with greater precision.

In fact, ever since obtaining this heavy artifact, Liang Hui had been wondering why a future version of himself would name it Flowing Light.

After all, with its ability to suppress the ages and destroy all life, many names seemed more suitable for the bell.

It wasn’t until this moment that he finally understood why the bell was called Flowing Light.

Strike the void bright and trace the flowing light!

Trace the flowing light!

He reached forward with his palm, grasping the bronze bell.

Threads of Eternal Radiance followed his arm, streaming to his back, as blurred scenes began to unfold behind the youth.

There were children paying homage to their master, hidden away for their exceptional talent, and those who had painstakingly cultivated for over a decade, ascending to the position of Taoist Child when their power waned.

The blurred images flowed, as if the youth before them was weaving history.

Of course, that was impossible. Liang Hui was merely crafting an identity for himself.

If a Diviner were to calculate, they could only find the identity he had fabricated.

This kind of hiding and deception was obviously much better than directly covering all traces of cause and effect.

Indeed, the former concealment had significant flaws and could reveal his specific location.

Very few Diviner forces with deep roots could directly use their background to perform wide-range calculations.

A Diviner would only need to find the person who could not be calculated to confirm Liang Hui’s identity.

Of course, such a method would consume terrifying resources.

As the identity was woven to completion, Qin Dao’s identity was fully closed off.

He drew back the Flowing Light Bell into his mind.

Liang Hui slowly stood up, and though he was but an eight-foot-tall youth, at that moment, he seemed to fill the entire space.

He strode forward and pushed open the palace doors.

The golden glow of the rising sun shone upon Liang Hui, brightening his mood even further.

"I’ve taken another big step forward, my friends?"
