Chapter 306: Boundary-Breaking Jade Platter! The Heart Demon's Arrival! (4000 Words)



"I understand."

Qin Zheng nodded in agreement.

Then, he looked down at the human dynasty below.

Led by Immortal Lord Qinyang beside him, they walked and stopped along the way.

However, they spent an unusually long time at this particular human dynasty.

The underlying meaning was self-evident.

As Qin Zheng looked down below, Immortal Lord Qinyang also stopped his constant chatter and turned his gaze downward.

He spoke slowly, "This dynasty, in terms of population and territorial scope, is enough to rank among the top three within the Xuanyuan Realm."

"The incense vow power is abundant and can also rank among the top three."

"However, cultivating the path of incense vow power requires constant exposure to the mundane thoughts of the people, making it easier to succumb to the Heart Demon's path."

At this point, Immortal Lord Qinyang paused slightly and then turned to Qin Zheng, speaking with a solemn expression, "The ruler of this nation is a Celestial Immortal. A century ago, he returned severely injured from the frontier battlefield and has since remained in the palace to recover."

"But his behavior is suspicious. I request that you, Friend Qin, help us investigate him!"

Qin Zheng nodded in response.

Killing a Celestial Immortal-level demon would consume a million virtues from the Great Dao Tree leaves, but there should still be plenty left.

Just as he was about to take a step forward and leave for the human dynasty below, Immortal Lord Qinyang hurriedly reached out and stopped him.

Then, he took out a jade platter emitting spatial energy.

"Although the human territories only account for one-tenth of the Spirit Ruins World, it's not a place one can casually travel to at will."

"This is the Boundary-Breaking Jade Platter. Holding this object allows one to quickly break through the void and travel to the next destination."

"Many locations related to the Heart Demon have already been anchored within it."

"With this jade platter, you can directly travel to the next place, saving you the energy and time of traveling by carriage."

As he spoke, he handed over the Boundary-Breaking Jade Platter to Qin Zheng.

Then, Immortal Lord Qinyang spoke again, "Friend Qin, for your bravery and assistance, you can choose to inherit any of the human cultivation traditions in the Spirit Ruins World."

"As for me, I'm about to head to the frontier. From now on, I'll be relying on you, Friend Qin. I'll be waiting for your good news at the frontier!"

After saying this, Immortal Lord Qinyang stretched out his hands, and Qin Zheng returned a respectful bow.

Qin Zheng reciprocated with a bow.

Immortal Lord Qinyang smiled and nodded, then took a step into the void, instantly disappearing from his original location.

As a Celestial Immortal, his Inner World was nearly perfect, allowing him to use Inner World Power to traverse the void.

At this moment, Qin Zheng's expression was calm as he examined the Boundary-Breaking Jade Platter in his hand and then put it away, his gaze turning downward.

Simultaneously, his consciousness sank into his heart sea, and he silently recited the information from the Virtue Scroll: "Refine!"

Shenyang Dynasty.

Capital City.

Deep within the majestic imperial palace.

In a luxurious hall adorned with carved beams and painted rafters.

The melodious singing of a songstress filled the air, and the graceful dancing of a dancer captivated the entire hall, making it a lively scene.

In the innermost part of the hall, a lazy man wearing only a white open-collar robe lay slumped on a couch, his icy gaze fixed on the scene before him.

Even the most enchanting songs and dances, after a hundred years of appreciation, had become utterly tiresome and boring.

There was no novelty!

In this vast dynasty, with millions of humans,

There was nothing more interesting to present before his eyes!

Boring!

Truly boring!

A hint of disgust flashed across his face.

Beside him, the steward, ever watchful of his master's changing expressions, immediately waved to the surrounding guards.

Seeing this, the beautiful women who had been performing with all their might turned pale.

The man before them was the current ruler of the dynasty, a powerful Celestial Immortal!

If their performance failed to please him, there would be only one outcome: death!

So, they knelt and begged for mercy.

Just then—

Whoosh!

A mighty sword light suddenly burst forth, illuminating the hall with a bright glow.

Bang!

A headless corpse fell to the ground.

Immediately after, terrified heads rolled in all directions.

The hall fell silent.

"Build another Beauty Pavilion."

The steward slowly sheathed his sword and spoke calmly.

The guards on both sides quickly stepped forward and cleaned up the corpses and bloodstains, their movements efficient and swift, as if this scene had played out many times before.

The steward turned and faced the man in the white open-collar robe, speaking obsequiously, "Your Majesty, shall I call for the next batch?"

The Lord of the Shenyang Nation shook his head, his patience wearing thin. "Day after day, month after month, year after year, it's always the same!"

"I've been looking at these for a hundred years! Can't you come up with something new?"

At these words, the head steward's face paled instantly. He knelt without hesitation, his forehead touching the ground, and said, "I am guilty! I deserve to die a thousand deaths!"

The other guards and servants also knelt, trembling, not daring to move a muscle.

Time passed slowly.

The atmosphere in the grand hall grew increasingly tense.

Even the head steward's forehead broke out in a cold sweat.

A loud slap echoed through the hall, reverberating in everyone's ears.

As the sound rang out, everyone seemed to be affected by it.

Unconsciously, they raised their heads, their gazes following the direction of the sound.

They saw a young figure dressed in a golden-patterneduan robe, emanating a cool and serene aura.

"Who are you?!"

The head steward's face turned solemn, and he stood up immediately, asking coldly.

The figure didn't respond but glanced past him, looking at the Lord of the Shenyang Nation behind him, and said calmly, "Li Chunyang?"

"How dare you!"

Hearing these words, the head steward's face turned angry, and he instantly drew his long sword and charged forward.

But as he approached the figure, his body suddenly froze, as if losing control.

Then, a large hand appeared, filling his field of vision, and gently plucked his head.

The guards around them were shocked by this sight.

The Lord of the Shenyang Nation, however, remained calm, even showing some interest. "Who are you?"

A nation's strength could only nurture one Celestial Immortal, and no other Immortal Realm cultivator would be born.

The head steward was merely at the Dharmic Body Realm, and killing him wasn't anything special.

For a human to kill a Dharmic Body with ease was indeed a simple matter.

But in front of him, even an Immortal Realm cultivator was no different from an ant, and he could eradicate them with a single thought.

He was curious about the audacity of this person, daring to cause trouble for him.

Qin Zheng's gaze swept across the grand hall, finally settling on the Lord of the Shenyang Nation. "Hiding among the humans for a hundred years, what have you been doing besides indulging in pleasure?"

Even if Qin Zheng downplayed his achievements.

But in the battle at the Spirit Essence Domain, he had killed countless Celestial Immortals, including Xie Tianyun, and upon entering the Human Sovereign Palace, he had slain the Earth Immortal Zhao Wuyi.

Such unusual circumstances should have attracted the attention of the Demon Lord.

As an existence invaded by the Heart Demon and completely fallen, residing within the human territories, he should have been more cautious.

Even if he hadn't intercepted any information about Qin Zheng, being within the influence of the Human Sovereign Palace, a visit from an Immortal Realm cultivator should have raised suspicions.

But this person before him was not only calm but also curious about why he had come.

For a moment, Qin Zheng didn't know what to say.

Hearing his words, the Lord of the Shenyang Nation's pupils suddenly constricted, and his aura erupted. "What are you saying? Are you from the Human Sovereign Palace?!"

There was no response.

The next moment, Qin Zheng took a step forward, approaching him.

The Lord of the Shenyang Nation's eyes flashed with rage, and he laughed viciously. "A mere Immortal Realm cultivator dares to act so boldly before me!"

Before he could finish his sentence, his expression froze, and he looked slightly terrified.

Because at that moment, he couldn't control his body, just like the head steward earlier, unable to move!

A Celestial Immortal, unable to move a muscle before an Immortal Realm cultivator!

And at that moment, the large hand appeared before him, filling his entire field of vision.

Bang!

Like plucking fruit, his head was instantly pulled from his neck.

In an instant, vibrant life force gushed forth like a flood released from a dam.

A Celestial Immortal-level existence had fallen once again at Qin Zheng's hands.

At this moment, the Virtue Scroll on the Heart Sea trembled slightly.

[Li Chunyang, Demon Nature Infused, Deeply Sinful, Kill for 2,100 Merit Points.]



A single Path of Dao Leaf was equivalent to ten million merit points.

Killing this Celestial Immortal, after deducting the cost, earning over eleven million merit points was not bad.

Moreover, the Primordial Heart Seal's effect was even more powerful than he had anticipated!

When activating this seal, there was no need for excessive movements; silently, it could influence others' hearts and restrict their actions.

When he had first tried it on the Earth Immortal, he had achieved unexpected results.

Then, he had reinforced it with a Path of Dao Leaf on the Primordial Heart Seal, and immediately, he could influence the Celestial Immortal, the Lord of the Shenyang Nation, and effortlessly pluck his head."

At this moment, Qin Zheng was replaying his previous actions and the use and effect of the Primordial Heart Seal.

After a few breaths, he took out the jade platter that emanated spatial energy.

The human realm was vast, and those invaded by the Heart Demon were scattered across the land.

Relying solely on his own strength, it would be challenging to quickly appear before each person invaded by the Heart Demon.

This item was indeed useful.

With this thought, Qin Zheng immediately activated the Boundary-Breaking Jade Platter.

Buzz!

The space power within the platter began to fluctuate, affecting the surrounding area.

Then, a spatial passage slowly appeared before Qin Zheng, and his eyes narrowed slightly. Following the platter's guidance, he took a step into it.

In an instant, Qin Zheng's figure vanished.

At the same time, in the Nine Yuan Realm, at the Fuyun You Sect.

In a secluded area, the space rippled like the surface of water.

Then, a figure clad in a golden-patterned dark robe stepped out.

"Another one."

Qin Zheng looked at the sect's location, and as the Primordial Heart Seal activated, he sensed that there was also a fallen person here.

Without hesitation, he took a step forward and headed towards the location of the fallen person.

A moment later, a deafening roar shook the heavens and the earth, followed by the appearance of blood rain and mournful cries.

Then, a force of space emerged.

Qin Zheng's aura disappeared once more.

With the enhancement of the Boundary-Breaking Jade Platter, Qin Zheng's figure appeared swiftly and continuously throughout the human realm.

One by one, the names on the list provided by Clear Wind Hermit were confirmed, and scenes of blood rain and mournful cries emerged.

Qin Zheng's accumulation of virtue also increased rapidly.

One... two... three...

Four... five... six...

When he reached the eighth person, Qin Zheng's figure reappeared in the Tian Yuan Realm.

Before him, several figures dressed in familiar attire also appeared.

A blue-robed figure in green jade robes, unmistakably from the Qingyu Sect!

Similarly, the three Earth Immortals who had confronted him before were also present.

As Qin Zheng's figure stepped out from the ripples of space, the three Earth Immortals of the Qingyu Sect became vigilant.

But in the instant they recognized Qin Zheng's face, their expressions turned fierce, and one of them spoke with clenched teeth, "You dare to show up in our Qingyu Sect again?!"

Qin Zheng paid them no heed and instead turned his gaze to his surroundings.

He found himself in a vast square, with five Earth Immortals from the Qingyu Sect standing not far in front of him.

Behind him were countless disciples of the Qingyu Sect.

Was this a grand ceremony for the sect?

Qin Zheng thought to himself, then his gaze swept past the five Earth Immortals and looked towards the highest point, where a middle-aged man with a gloomy expression stood.

The Ancestor of Qingyu Sect, a Celestial Immortal.

He, too, was invaded by the Heart Demon!

No wonder he had watched indifferently as the Tiangang Sword Sect was destroyed.

Perhaps he wasn't afraid of the Golden Crow Demon Lord, but he was indifferent to the downfall of the human race, or even pleased by it!

As Qin Zheng's gaze fell upon the Ancestor, the Ancestor also looked back at him.

Their gazes collided in the void.

"You're on your own this time! No one from the Human Sovereign Palace will come to your aid!"

At that moment, the three Earth Immortals coldly laughed and charged towards Qin Zheng.

The three Earth Immortals attacked together, and their formidable auras instantly stirred the winds and clouds, causing the heavens and earth to change color!

But when they reached a distance of about ten feet from Qin Zheng, they found their bodies seemingly uncontrollable, unable to move.

"Boundary-Breaking Jade Platter."

The Ancestor of Qingyu Sect spoke in a cold voice.

As a Celestial Immortal, he instantly saw through Qin Zheng's method of stepping out from the void.

Then, he slowly stood up, and the aura of a Celestial Immortal level began to surge and rise.

It was as if an ancient divine mountain had suddenly risen from the ground, reaching into the clouds, sending chills down one's spine and instilling fear.

Qin Zheng's expression also became slightly more solemn at this moment.

Because, in just a few breaths, the aura emanating from the Ancestor of Qingyu Sect had already surpassed that of the two Celestial Immortals Qin Zheng had previously slain.

This was the strongest Celestial Immortal he had encountered so far!

"I am not Xie Tianyun."

The Ancestor of Qingyu Sect spoke slowly.

But before he could finish his sentence, the figure in the golden-patterned dark robe had already reached his front.

A terrifying fist seal, imbued with the Ultimate Intent, seemed capable of annihilating everything, and it descended with a thunderous boom.

However, at that very moment—

Slap!

The Ancestor of Qingyu Sect reached out his hand and instantly blocked the fist seal.

Then, the Ancestor of Qingyu Sect turned to Qin Zheng and grinned viciously.

"You're not Li Chunyang either."

Buzz!

In that instant, the Virtue Scroll above the Heart Sea trembled, and a line of words suddenly appeared.

【Heart Demon, a powerful remnant, unforgivable sins, slay him to gain 9000 virtue points】
