Chapter 126: The Legacy Spirit Orb! A Surge in Merit!
Chapter 126: The Legacy Spirit Orb! A Surge in Merit!
A pearl emitting an aura glow spun in Qin Zheng's mind.
Accept Surrender and Worship
At the same time, distorted thoughts, accompanied by beautiful and magnificent scenes, kept appearing in Qin Zheng's mind.
Flight, Transcendence, Eternal Life, Become a Sage or Ancestor
The pearl was like a source of pollution, constantly corrupting Qin Zheng's soul and will.
Qin Zheng didn't sit idly, and his heart hardened. He immediately activated his Mental Martial Arts.
Under the immense concentration of Mental Power, countless arrows quickly formed and rushed towards the pearl.
Mental attacks could be directed both outward and inward!
But just as Qin Zheng's mental attack touched the pearl, it trembled, and countless screams suddenly erupted from within.
"Let go! Let me out!"
"I don't want to be trapped here!"
"It hurts! Let me out quickly!"
"..."
Hundreds of voices appeared simultaneously, like an explosion, breaking through Qin Zheng's mental attack.
Then, shadows emerged from within the pearl.
Qin Zheng's mind focused, and as he gazed, he discovered that these shadows were actually human souls!
Moreover, there were countless souls, almost a thousand or more!
Their faces were twisted in agony, and they wailed incessantly, seemingly enduring immense suffering within.
Vibrant!
At this moment, the pearl emitted a brighter aura, and the souls inside cried out even more pitifully.
Under Qin Zheng's gaze, the souls quickly disintegrated one by one.
Accompanying this, the aura glow from the pearl became even brighter!
Simultaneously, the corrupt force grew stronger, beginning to forcibly twist Qin Zheng's soul and will!
Qin Zheng had no choice but to gather his mind, continuously activating his Mental Martial Arts, using the endless Mental Power to counter the pearl.
With such intense exertion of Mental Power, his forehead slightly warmed, and a prickling pain emerged.
Vibrant!
At this stalemate, another humming sound arose.
But this time, the source of this hum was not the pearl but Qin Zheng's forehead!
A stream of light emerged from his forehead, and a jade ruyi appeared in Qin Zheng's mind, hovering above the pearl.
Then, the jade ruyi moved slightly, and a gentle yet unstoppable force appeared, instantly pushing the pearl out of Qin Zheng's mind.
The various voices in his mind disappeared, and Qin Zheng's mind instantly cleared.
He abruptly opened his eyes, and in an instant, he saw the odd pearl emitting an aura glow.
After being expelled, it seemed to sense the power of the jade ruyi and wanted to escape.
But just then, Qin Zheng's forehead twitched, and the jade ruyi appeared, landing on the pearl and moving slightly again.
At that moment, in Qin Zheng's eyes, the pearl seemed to freeze.
Then, like a deflating balloon, souls rapidly burst out of the pearl.
"It's out! It's out!"
"Thank you! Thank you!"
"..."
These souls, trapped within the pearl, seemed to have seen the jade ruyi, and upon escaping, they first saw Qin Zheng.
One by one, they bowed to Qin Zheng in gratitude, then quickly dissipated into the human realm.
After a brief moment, as the thousand souls departed, the pearl seemed to lose all its power and its mystical qualities.
The aura glow dimmed, and the pearl fell straight down.
Qin Zheng reached out and caught the pearl in his hand.
The jade ruyi, like a stream of light, entered Qin Zheng's forehead again and became quiet.
Jade Ruyi.
Qin Zheng's gaze slightly intensified.
This was what he had obtained from his mother, Gao Wusheng, in Black Goose City.
At that time, he had guessed that this object was extraordinary, but he never imagined it would be so powerful, seemingly an incredible treasure.
However, this jade ruyi was not under Qin Zheng's control at this moment and was stored in Qin Zheng's forehead, where he stored his Mental Power.
It seemed that it would only assist him when it sensed his danger.
Perhaps only when one's power reached a certain level could this treasure be summoned and carefully studied.
Qin Zheng thought this in his heart, then turned his gaze back to the pearl in his hand.
During the previous demonic sounds, Qin Zheng had realized that this pearl was the source of Gao Wuyun's mysterious resurrection!
And the source of power was the souls sealed within the pearl!
By eroding those souls, this pearl gained the ability to resurrect the dead, allowing those who had been shattered to return to life!
However, there was a limit; it could only be used up to nine times, and each resurrection would draw one-ninth of the user's soul.
After being killed nine times, nine-tenths of the soul would be absorbed by the pearl.
The remaining one-tenth was sacrificed and entered the pearl when it was first used!
After nine times, the soul would be completely annihilated.
However, this only applied to ordinary beings.
If one was like Gao Wuyun, the direct owner of this pearl,
they could sacrifice their life essence to offset the pearl's absorption of their soul!
One hundred life essences could offset one draw.
In other words, one hundred souls could allow the owner of this pearl to resurrect without sacrificing their own soul!
No wonder Gao Wuyun was so fearless and unconcerned about himself.
Within the orb, there were over a thousand life essences, meaning it could revive itself over ten times without a scratch!
Adding his own, it could probably revive itself over twenty times!
There truly existed such an oddity in this world!
Qin Zheng held the orb, his eyes slightly grave.
The water of this world seemed deeper than he had imagined.
As he pondered, the merit scroll in his sea of consciousness trembled slightly.
Then, a new line of text appeared.
【Item Discovered: Legacy Spirit Orb, can be refined. Refinement requires a thousand pounds of merit. Refine?】
【Note: Refinement grants the Harmonic Art: Ultimate Descension Secret Scroll (Legendary)】
【Note: This Legacy Spirit Orb has been contaminated. Forced refinement may carry risks!】
Legacy Spirit Orb, thousand pounds of merit, Harmonic Art, Legendary.
Each of these words refreshed Qin Zheng's understanding.
This was the first time he had encountered such a situation; just the refinement required a thousand pounds of merit!
It was truly unimaginable!
Moreover, this wasn't a martial art but a Harmonic Art, which was undoubtedly far superior to martial arts.
Furthermore, this Harmonic Art was labeled as 'Legendary'.
This Harmonic Art was undoubtedly extraordinarily powerful!
However, he currently lacked sufficient merit to refine it.
Secondly, the last piece of information on the merit scroll warned that this Legacy Spirit Orb had been contaminated, and forced refinement might carry risks!
Recalling those trapped human souls, Gao Wuyun's resurrection after death, and the eerie sounds emanating from the orb when it entered his mind, Qin Zheng dismissed the idea of refining the orb.
Regardless, this was not something he could covet at the moment.
He could temporarily keep it, waiting for a future time when he became powerful enough to take it out again.
Qin Zheng thought this in his heart, and then his mental gaze turned to the merit scroll.
In this battle, he had killed many deeply sinful individuals, and the merit he had accumulated should be enough to open another Life Wheel.
But at that moment, he was stunned by what he saw.
【Qin Zheng】
【Lifespan: 15 (17)】
【Martial Arts: Lion Elephant Wisdom Dharma (68th layer), Tibetan Mind Awareness Scripture (Great Accomplishment), Nine Transform Golden Body Technique (6th transformation)】
【Merit: 1,658 pounds, 4 taels, 7 mace】
【Current Martial Art: Lion Elephant Wisdom Dharma, can be upgraded. Requires 1 pound of merit. Upgrade?】
【Current Martial Art: Tibetan Mind Awareness Scripture, can be upgraded. Requires 1,000 pounds of merit. Upgrade?】
【Current Martial Art: Nine Transform Golden Body Technique, can be upgraded. Requires 500 pounds of merit. Upgrade?】
【Martial Art Discovered.】
After killing Gao Wuyun, he had only accumulated over five hundred pounds of merit.
Why had it suddenly increased by a thousand pounds, bringing his total merit to over sixteen hundred, nearly seventeen hundred pounds?
Qin Zheng's thoughts turned, and he recalled the sincere thanks from those souls when they dispersed.
Could it be that by freeing those souls from the orb, he had earned this extra thousand pounds of merit?
It must be so!
Otherwise, he hadn't done anything to deserve such a large amount of merit.
With this realization, Qin Zheng's heart surged with joy!
Based on the previous situation, the remaining three transformations of the Nine Transform Golden Body Technique would require five hundred pounds of merit each.
The sixteen hundred pounds of merit were enough to support him in completing the remaining three transformations.
In other words, Qin Zheng currently had enough merit to open the remaining three Life Wheels!
He only needed to find a quiet place to open all seven Life Wheels, connect the Heaven-Earth Bridge, and advance to the Great Grandmaster realm in one go!
Upon advancing to the Great Grandmaster realm, he would refine Essence Energy and enhance the Lion Elephant Wisdom Dharma!
His strength would experience another surge of rapid growth!
An unexpected joy!
At this moment, various thoughts flooded Qin Zheng's mind, and his emotions were at their peak.
He didn't try to suppress this joy.
His expression remained unchanged, and he closed his eyes, standing silently amidst the corpse mountain and sea of blood, feeling the various emotions within.
After a moment, the wind howled, and figures appeared all around.
Qin Zheng opened his eyes and looked at the Geng Word Camp members who had arrived.
"Sir Qin!"
Seeing the corpse mountain and sea of blood, even these Demon Slayer Patrol members, who had seen much, were moved.
All of them had their heads blown off!
Not a single intact corpse remained!
Viscous blood covered the ground, and the thick stench of blood made their hearts churn.
But what truly shocked them wasn't the shattered corpses of the three Demon Sage Beasts.
What truly shocked them was the white-robed figure before Qin Zheng, also headless, soaked in blood.
If their information was correct, this was the third young master of the Governor's Mansion!
A member of the Quanyang Gao Clan bloodline, Gao Wuyun!
Sir Qin had not spared even him, killing him directly!
They were shocked, and their eyes filled with admiration as they looked at the young figure in golden-patterned dark robes.
With such a person, how could they worry about the Demon Plague?
