Chapter 282: Post-Battle Harvest, Refining the Divine Statue!
Chapter 282: Post-Battle Harvest, Refining the Divine Statue!
After the fall of Jin Yang Shengjun, the changes in the Great Sun ceased and quickly returned to normal. The scorching heat that had enveloped the universe dissipated like a receding tide.
Before this calamity could fully erupt, Qin Zheng had already put an end to it. Countless humans rejoiced and celebrated.
They didn't understand why the Great Sun had changed or why it had returned to normal, but they knew that the best years for humanity were about to begin. The Heavenly Punishment had vanished, and the Demon Race was annihilated! From this point on, above the heads of the humans, there would be no more demonic creatures, only the vast sky and the blazing sun. Humanity could finally reclaim its dignity and stand tall.
When Qin Zheng returned to the Three Mountains and Five Regions, he felt this intense joy. To ordinary humans, the Three Mountains and Five Regions were everything. How could they know that the crisis was not over and that beyond the Three Mountains and Five Regions, there were still countless demons?
But Qin Zheng didn't want to disturb this joy and celebration. After confirming that there were no issues in the Three Mountains and Five Regions, he returned directly to the Wanxiang Mountain Universe.
Great Jin, Capital City.
Taiwu Academy.
A group of Human Dharmic Bodies had been waiting here. Not only Xun Zhengxin and Wang Daoyi, but all the Human Dharmic Bodies had gathered here.
Qin Zheng had swept through the Three Mountains and Five Regions, clearing out all the Demon Dharmic Bodies, so that the Human Dharmic Bodies no longer had to hide and flee.
Upon hearing the universe's lament and sensing the restoration of the Great Sun, they had come to the Wanxiang Mountain Universe ahead of time.
When the group of Human Dharmic Bodies saw Qin Zheng, they were shocked, even though they had expected it. They couldn't hide their astonishment.
Jin Yang Shengjun!
The Demon Race's ruler over the Three Mountains and Five Regions for nearly ten thousand years had been slain by the person before them! Moreover, this person seemed unaffected, as if they hadn't sustained any injuries.
It was as if they had casually slaughtered a pig or a dog.
Their already astonished hearts now felt even more overwhelmed.
What realm had this person reached?!
Xun Zhengxin and Wang Daoyi exchanged glances, seeing the complexity of each other's emotions.
From proving the Dharmic Body to now, slaying the strongest Demon in the realm.
This person had likely taken less than a year!
Such speed made the two feel as if they were in a dream.
Had there ever been such an existence in history?
Even the word 'Heavenly Punishment' might not be enough to describe such terrifying talent!
Cultivation was like eating, advancement like drinking water!
With ease, they could reach heights that others couldn't in a lifetime.
If one were to describe it purely based on talent, no one would believe it.
Regardless of the reasons, it was fortunate that such talent belonged to a human!
Moreover, a human determined to resist the Demon Race!
That was enough!
Qin Zheng approached the group of Dharmic Bodies, nodded, and said, "Jin Yang Shengjun has been dealt with."
In his calm words, he delivered news that could shake the Three Mountains and Five Regions, and the group of Human Dharmic Bodies felt a sense of relief.
Their faces lit up with excitement.
After being oppressed by the Demon Race for nearly ten thousand years, even the strongest Demon Race had been defeated. There would be no more Demons standing above the heads of humans!
"Thank you, Qin Zheng!"
Several Human Dharmic Bodies stepped forward, bowed, and expressed their gratitude.
Qin Zheng raised his hand to help them up, paused for a moment, and continued, "The crisis isn't over yet."
Ordinary humans might not know about the other worlds beyond the Three Mountains and Five Regions, but these Human Dharmic Bodies were the strongest fighters from the Yuanyang Realm and the pillars of the Three Mountains and Five Regions.
They needed to understand that there were other realms and that the threat from the Demon Race was far from eliminated.
Hearing Qin Zheng's words, the group of Dharmic Bodies immediately restrained their smiles.
"Is it because of the Upper Realm Immortals?"
Lou Chengdao looked anxiously at Qin Zheng and asked.
As the words 'Upper Realm' were mentioned, the group of Human Dharmic Bodies tensed up and looked at Qin Zheng.
They knew things that ordinary people didn't. For example, before the Immortal Dao civilization collapsed, humanity had a brief period of revival and glory.
At that time, Upper Realm Immortals descended, sweeping through the Three Mountains and Five Regions, slaying all the human experts.
Since then, the Immortal Dao civilization had been crushed, and humanity had been completely subjugated under the Demon Race, enduring the darkest and most challenging times.
Now, Qin Zheng had slain the most powerful Demon in this realm.
The only ones who could still bring a crisis were the Upper Realm Immortals who had once appeared and slain all the human experts!
As the group stared at Qin Zheng, he lightly nodded and said, "You don't need to be too desperate, there are also Upper Realm Immortals of our human race."
"Jin Yang Shengjun didn't appear earlier because an Upper Realm human expert had restrained him.
"He will inform the Human Immortals of the Upper Realm about the situation in the Three Mountains and Five Regions."
Upon hearing Qin Zheng's words, the group's suppressed emotions found some relief.
However, the atmosphere remained heavy.
Qin Zheng pondered for a moment and continued, "Can all of you help me with something?"
The Dharmic Bodies turned their gazes towards him.
Qin Zheng proceeded, "Can you all help me search for Prime Gold in the Three Mountains and Five Regions?"
Currently, all the Demon Dharmic Bodies in the Three Mountains and Five Regions had been slain by him, leaving no one to hinder the free movement of Human Dharmic Bodies.
Hearing his request, the Human Dharmic Bodies nodded in agreement.
They were well aware of the formidable power of Qin Zheng's Golden Blade Array.
If they could find enough Prime Gold to enhance the array's might, it might be possible to confront the Upper Realm Immortals.
This was their means of self-preservation!
"Then I'll trouble all of you."
"If possible, please do it as soon as possible."
Qin Zheng added a few more words to the group.
Hearing this, the Human Dharmic Bodies immediately responded, "Alright! We'll set off now!"
After speaking, they transformed into streams of light and departed from their original locations.
In the blink of an eye, only Qin Zheng remained at the site.
He then took a step and arrived at his tranquil chamber for cultivation within the Taiwu Academy.
Unlike the other Human Dharmic Bodies, they were far behind in terms of cultivation compared to Human Immortals, and this gap couldn't be bridged by their current efforts. Thus, they could only passively await the Upper Realm Humans.
However, Qin Zheng was different. After slaying the Demons in the Three Mountains and Five Regions and accumulating an immense amount of virtue, he had already used this virtue to propel his cultivation to the pinnacle, reaching the Twelfth Tier Dharmic Deity!
He was just one step away from attaining the Human Immortal realm.
Therefore, Qin Zheng would never entrust his life to the Upper Realm Humans, relying on an uncertain possibility.
Qiu Huayuan had been trapped in the Yuanyang Realm for nearly ten thousand years, yet the Upper Realm Humans hadn't intervened.
If not for Qin Zheng's timely arrival, Qiu Huayuan would have been strangled to death by those chains on the summit of Taixu Mountain!
Qin Zheng knew he had to quickly enhance his strength to face the Demon Immortals.
The first option was to refine Prime Gold, increase the number of Golden Essence Sabers, and amplify the power of the Golden Blade Array!
The second option was to elevate himself and strive to break through to the Human Immortal realm!
For the first option, he had already dispatched all the Human Dharmic Bodies to search for Prime Gold.
The second option, however, required his personal effort!
Before that, Qin Zheng's heart stirred, and three divine statues instantly appeared before him.
Boom!
The statues seemed to weigh a million pounds, and as soon as they appeared and landed, the ground beneath them began to tremble and shake.
The Sanqing Bodhimanda Statues!
They also represented three opportunities!
The upper three seals of the Primordial Sovereign Nine!
The incomplete Immortal Slaying Sword Intent!
The Purity Chapter of Dao Scripture!
Qin Zheng's gaze fixed on the three statues, his eyes filled with contemplation.
With his current accumulation of virtue, he could only choose to refine one of the statues, not all three simultaneously.
Therefore, he needed to prioritize these opportunities based on their immediate impact on his growth.
Qin Zheng's eyes flickered, and he first ruled out the Purity Chapter of Dao Scripture.
This Immortal Art was likely a cultivation method, and its impact on his current combat power might be limited.
Given the imminent threat of the Demon Immortals, enhancing his combat power was the top priority.
Thus, Qin Zheng turned his attention to the Primordial Sovereign Nine and the Immortal Slaying Sword Intent.
According to the annotations on the virtue scroll, the former could forge him a perfect Dao foundation, essentially making him the strongest Dharmic Body!
The latter, known for its unmatched killing prowess, could manifest boundless divine might with just a wisp of sword intent.
Both options could bolster his current strength.
However, Qin Zheng hesitated.
Refining the Primordial Sovereign Nine and forging the perfect Dao foundation would make him the strongest Dharmic Body, but could this strength rival the Demon Immortals?
On the other hand, refining the unmatched killing Immortal Slaying Sword Intent might be beyond his current cultivation level.
Could he control and unleash this sword intent?
Qin Zheng closed his eyes, pondering for a moment. Then, he stood up, took a step towards the Upper Purity Statue, and reached out to touch it.
Simultaneously, a wisp of his spiritual consciousness turned towards the virtue scroll, and he silently recited, "Refine!"
Vibrant!
In an instant, the virtue scroll trembled, deducting a million pounds of virtue.
At the same time, a profound power descended.
Whoosh!
Qin Zheng's Upper Purity Statue instantly radiated brilliant light, and a stream of light flashed into his body.
Immortal Slaying Sword Intent!
This was Qin Zheng's choice after careful consideration!
Despite his initial intention to swiftly break through to the Human Immortal realm, refining the Primordial Sovereign Nine and forging the perfect Dao foundation before attempting to ascend as the strongest Dharmic Body would have been the ideal choice.
However, with a formidable enemy at hand and an Upper Realm Immortal who could appear at any moment, Qin Zheng didn't have the luxury of time!
Instead, he chose to master the most powerful killing technique!
With this wisp of Immortal Slaying Sword Intent, he could ensure his survival.
Later, he would consider refining the Primordial Sovereign Nine and forging the perfect Dao foundation!
