Chapter 279: Primordial Nine Seals, Divine Sword Intent of Zhusan, Pure Chapter of the Dao Scripture

Chapter 279: Primordial Nine Seals, Divine Sword Intent of Zhusan, Pure Chapter of the Dao Scripture!

The transformation of the Great Sun continued unabated.

In just a few days, the temperature between Heaven and Earth had risen significantly.

Rivers evaporated, and the earth cracked.

For powerful martial artists, these changes might not have had an immediate impact.

But not all humans were powerful martial artists! Among the vast population, martial artists were but a minority, with most being ordinary mortals without any martial prowess.

Therefore, the first to bear the brunt of this disaster were these ordinary mortals.

At this moment.

Great Jin, the capital.

Qin Zheng looked up at the Great Sun, his eyes flashing.

By now, he knew exactly what Jin Yang Shengjun was planning.

It was clear that he wanted to burn the mortal realm with the Great Sun! He was using the lives of all beings in the Three Mountains and Five Regions as a stake, including the Demon Clan, to force Qin Zheng to submit!

Thus, to end this transformation, there were only two possibilities.

Either, Qin Zheng would have to surrender and take his own life in front of Jin Yang Shengjun, or endure humiliation and become his slave.

Or...

As these thoughts swirled in his mind.

A figure appeared.

Xun Zhengxin approached Qin Zheng, his face solemn as he spoke, "The daylight hours are getting longer, and the nights shorter. If this continues, I fear there will be a great change."

The temperature between Heaven and Earth kept rising, and daylight hours were indeed getting longer while nights grew shorter.

If this persisted, it was likely that soon, there would be only daylight and no night!

When that happened, the natural order between Heaven and Earth would be disrupted, and all sorts of calamities would descend upon the world.

Qin Zheng nodded; he had naturally considered these possibilities.

He spoke, "The source of this change is probably Jin Yang Shengjun. If we deal with him, the transformation of the Great Sun should stop."

Qin Zheng would never choose to take his own life or become a slave to the demons, so he had to choose the other option.

That was to kill Jin Yang Shengjun!

Hearing Qin Zheng's words, Xun Zhengxin's expression flickered slightly, and he turned to look at him, wanting to say something but hesitating.

Qin Zheng didn't waste any time and continued, "Jin Yang Shengjun wants to burn the earth with the Great Sun and use the lives of humans in the Three Mountains and Five Regions to coerce me."

"So, he won't be sending sword auras to the Three Mountains and Five Regions anymore; it would be redundant."

"Therefore, even if I leave, the Three Mountains and Five Regions should be safe."

After speaking, he looked at Xun Zhengxin, "I'll kill him as soon as possible. You can activate the Heavenly Star Array to resist the increasing temperature changes."

The Heavenly Star Array could protect an entire realm and naturally wasn't limited to just killing enemies with starlight power.

"I understand!"

Xun Zhengxin's expression changed several times before he finally nodded heavily, his gaze on Qin Zheng complex as he agreed.

With this crisis, only Qin Zheng had the ability to make a change within the Three Mountains and Five Regions.

Even though Xun Zhengxin was worried, he could only nod in agreement.

Otherwise, the consequences would be even more severe!

After receiving this response, Qin Zheng once again took out the token he had obtained from the Vermilion Bird Elder.

After holding it for a few breaths, he took a step forward, transforming into a streak of light and instantly leaving Great Jin, arriving at the deep passage within Taixu Mountain.

Without hesitation, he stepped into it!

And so.

On this day.

Within the Three Mountains and Five Regions.

There were incredibly sharp golden sword auras crisscrossing, and the agonized screams of the Demon Clan echoed.

The phenomenon of Dharmic Body Demise kept occurring, and the wailing between Heaven and Earth was incessant.

Finally.

When the last wail quieted down.

Qin Zheng calmly collected the Demon Core floating in mid-air into his storage bag and then looked up at the Great Sun above.

Before heading to Jin Yang Shengjun's location to confront him.

He naturally wanted to eradicate all the Demon Clan's Dharmic Bodies in the Three Mountains and Five Regions, adding them to his foundation!

Having slaughtered through the Three Mountains and Five Regions, his accumulation had reached an extreme.

Qin Zheng's heart stirred, and a wisp of his consciousness sank into his Heart Sea, looking towards the Virtue Scroll.

Seeing the contents of the scroll, even with his current state of mind, he couldn't help but smile slightly.

Without delay, Qin Zheng found a secluded place and began to enhance himself.

~~~

On the earth where the wind howled and sandstorm raged.

There were divine artifacts without spirit light, buildings reduced to ruins, and dim, dark bones.

The entire scene looked incredibly desolate.

Clap!

At this moment.

A figure clad in a golden-patterned black robe stepped onto this land.

Qin Zheng's gaze swept across the surroundings, taking in the entire scene.

This place must also be a relic of an Immortal Sect.

However, it stands apart from the Three Mountains and Five Regions, making it hard to find.

If it weren't for the guidance of the Sacred Token, Qin Zheng might not have found this realm.

Thus, when the Yuanyang Realm was shattered by the battles between the celestial immortals and the world, it didn't just split into the Three Mountains and Five Regions.

It split into many more areas.

This thought flashed through Qin Zheng's mind.

Then, crossing a desolate land, a well-preserved grand hall appeared before him.

Qin Zheng held the Sacred Token in his hand.

According to its guidance, there should be a passage inside this palace leading to where the Golden Sun Sage Monarch resides.

Without hesitation, Qin Zheng stepped forward, approached the hall, and pushed open the doors.

Rumbling like thunder, the two doors slowly opened.

The scene inside the hall came into Qin Zheng's view.

First, he saw a man enveloped in flames, exuding a mysterious and solemn aura.

Next, what caught Qin Zheng's attention were the fragments of three Divine Statues on either side of the hall.

Buzz!

At this moment, the Jade Ruyi in his Heart Sea, which had been in a state of calm, gently vibrated.

Qin Zheng narrowed his eyes, then took a step forward, entering the hall.

The Divine Statue on the Divine Altar was undoubtedly the Golden Sun Sage Monarch.

On either side of him, there were four positions, now empty, which must have been for the Four Great Elders.

Thinking this, Qin Zheng continued deeper into the hall.

Thud!

At this moment, something under his foot made a sound.

Qin Zheng stepped back, then lowered his gaze to where he had just stepped.

Beneath a thick layer of dust, a wooden board could be faintly seen.

Qin Zheng's eyes focused, and he raised his right hand, summoning a gust of wind to blow away the thick dust, revealing the wooden board.

It was a broken and decayed plaque!

The characters on it, eroded by the long years, were hard to read clearly.

But Qin Zheng could still make out that the first character was likely a 'Three'.

Plaque Three.

Combined with the three Divine Statues whose true appearances were hard to discern.

Qin Zheng's eyes narrowed slightly, and a guess formed in his mind.

Without hesitation, he changed direction and walked toward the fragmented remains of the three Divine Statues.

As he approached the remains of the three Divine Statues, the Jade Ruyi in his Heart Sea vibrated more and more.

When he reached the three Divine Statues, the Jade Ruyi in his Heart Sea seemed to transform into a lively fish.

It was like a wanderer returning home after many years, finally seeing his family.

Qin Zheng's guess was increasingly confirmed.

He immediately extended his hand and placed it on one of the Divine Statues.

Buzz!

The Virtue Scroll in his Heart Sea suddenly trembled.

Then, a line of text quickly appeared.

【Item Discovered - Jade Purity Divine Statue, can be refined, requires ten million pounds of virtue, refine?】

【Note: Refining will grant Martial Arts - Primordial Nine Seals (First Three Seals)】

【Note: With these three seals, a Perfect Dao Foundation can be forged!】

Qin Zheng's eyes narrowed.

His originally calm mind suddenly quickened.

He quickly extended his hand to the other two Divine Statues.

【Item Discovered - Upper Purity Divine Statue, can be refined, requires ten million pounds of virtue, refine?】

【Note: Refining will grant an Odd Artifact - Immortal Slaying True Intention (Fragment)】

【Note: First in Slaughter Across All Worlds!】

【Item Discovered - Supreme Purity Divine Statue, can be refined, requires ten million pounds of virtue, refine?】

【Note: Refining will grant Immortal Technique - Purity Chapter of Dao Scripture】

【Note: Dao Gives Birth to All Things, Dao Law Naturally!】

Rumble!

At this moment, it felt as if millions of thunderbolts were simultaneously exploding in Qin Zheng's heart!

He was in a state of daze.

The Three Purity Divine Statues!

These three fragmented Divine Statues were indeed the Three Purity Divine Statues!

The lines of text appearing on the Virtue Scroll brought an indescribable surge of joy to Qin Zheng's heart.

The Primordial Nine Seals!

The Immortal Slaying Sword Intent!

The Purity Chapter of Dao Scripture!

Unprecedented and immense gains!

So immense that Qin Zheng's body trembled slightly, finding it hard to believe!

It wasn't until a few moments later that he regained his composure, allowing calm to reclaim his mind.

Then, the distress followed the joy.

Although he had obtained an enormous amount of virtue after killing his way through the Three Mountains and Five Regions, he had used it all to enhance himself.

Now, he had no ten million pounds of virtue to refine the Three Purity Divine Statues.

Qin Zheng's focus shifted from the virtue scroll to the remnants of the three divine statues.

Should he collect these remnants, and once he accumulated enough virtue, attempt to refine them?

With this thought, Qin Zheng respectfully bowed to the three statues and attempted to store them in his storage pouch.

However, nothing happened.

It was as if the storage pouch couldn't accommodate the remnants, refusing to accept them.

Qin Zheng's brows furrowed, and he switched to a human-shaped bag, trying again.

But the result was the same; the remnants remained standing, unmoved.

Qin Zheng's brows knitted together in an instant.

Unable to store the statues and unable to refine them immediately, he felt like he had discovered a treasure but couldn't claim it, an unbearable feeling.

Vibrant!

At that moment, the jade ruyi in Qin Zheng's sea of consciousness suddenly emitted a vibrating hum, and a light burst forth.

This light even penetrated his sea of consciousness, illuminating the remnants of the Sanqing statues.

Shua!

The remnants of the three statues vanished, turning into streams of light that flowed into Qin Zheng's storage pouch.

Witnessing this, Qin Zheng immediately checked his storage pouch.

Only after confirming the remnants inside did he finally relax.

Then, Qin Zheng withdrew his gaze, calmed his mind, and turned to look at the hall, where a statue enveloped in fiery radiance stood.

Golden Sun Sage Lord

Rumble!

As his gaze fixed on the statue, a crimson light suddenly emerged from it.

It seemed to be reviving.

Qin Zheng took a step forward, reached out, and a large spear fell into his hand. With a mighty swing, he slashed downward.

Bang!

The massive statue shattered under the strike of the spear.

The signs of revival completely subsided.

Then, Qin Zheng held the sacred token and took another step forward, reaching a passage deep within the hall.

This was the passage leading to the true body of the Golden Sun Sage Lord.

Qin Zheng's eyes narrowed slightly, and without hesitation, he stepped into the passage.

Taixu Mountain Summit

At this moment, everything was quiet.

Intertwined azure and crimson sword auras hovered in all directions.

Two silhouettes stood facing each other.

Upon closer inspection, one of the figures, bound by chains, was now soaked in blood.

The long sword in his right hand had its blade shattered, leaving only the hilt in his grasp.

"Without a sword, how can you fight me?" The Golden Sun Sage Lord chuckled, brandishing the fiery sword in his hand as if boasting.

It was indeed a Human Immortal-grade artifact, and after continuous clashes, it had completely shattered the sword that Qiu Huayuan had used for nearly ten thousand years.

Qiu Huayuan remained silent, still holding onto the sword hilt with his right hand.

Crack!

At this moment, a sound of shattering bones emanated from his body.

The chains that had bound him for nearly ten thousand years, under the control of the Golden Sun Sage Lord, began to tighten again! This further weakened his state, leading to the shattering of his sword and his current predicament.

Qiu Huayuan closed his eyes, silently enduring the excruciating pain of crushed and compressed bones.

Receiving no response, the Golden Sun Sage Lord coldly chuckled and spoke, "Acknowledge me as your master, become my slave, and I will release you, even breaking the chains that bind you."

"Otherwise, death awaits you!"

Qiu Huayuan opened his eyes, calmly gazing at the Golden Sun Sage Lord, and said, "If I die, you won't survive either."

His tone was calm, as if stating a fact.

"Hmph!"

The Golden Sun Sage Lord coldly chuckled, and the sword intent in his hand became increasingly turbulent, eager to strike.

"I'd like to know how you'll ensure my demise."

Bound by chains all over his body, his range of motion was nearly non-existent, and the long sword in his hand was reduced to just a hilt.

In this situation, he was curious what moves his opponent could still execute.

Qiu Huayuan stared at the Golden Sun Sage Lord with a calm gaze.

Crack!

Another sound of shattering bones emanated from his body.

Bang!

The sword hilt fell to the ground.

Qiu Huayuan's expression remained unchanged, and he calmly spoke, "As long as the sword heart is pure enough, even without a physical sword, there are countless blades in the heart."

Hearing these words, the Golden Sun Sage Lord immediately chuckled.

"A sword in your heart? Let me see the power of this heart sword of yours!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he was about to slash with the long sword in his hand.

Vibrant!

At that moment, he seemed to sense something, and his brows furrowed.

Then, a crisp sword hum sounded.

Simultaneously, a crisp voice echoed across the Taixu Mountain Summit.

"First, taste the might of my sword array!"
