Chapter 315: Above Celestial Immortal, Taiyi Realm! (4000 Words)
Sun Star Lord's Pollution
As Qin Zheng gazed at the information on the Virtue Scroll, his eyes narrowed slightly.
He hadn't forgotten that in the Primordial Yang World, when using the Virtue Scroll to refine some divine statues or certain items, a similar 'pollution prompt' would appear!
Now, in this Spirit Ruins, the same situation had occurred again.
It seemed that this 'pollution' was not limited to the Primordial Yang World but was prevalent throughout the myriad realms of the heavens.
Moreover, it seemed to have appeared a long time ago!
At this moment, countless thoughts surged through Qin Zheng's mind.
He even suddenly had a thought.
The annihilation of the Primordial Yang World's Immortal Path had two primary reasons.
The first was the retreat of Spiritual Energy, causing the Human Race to be unable to cultivate smoothly, forcing them to seek alternative paths.
The second was the arrival of the Golden Crow Deities, who slew all the Human Race experts in the Primordial Yang World at that time, annihilating the Human Race's inheritance.
These two reasons seemed unrelated to the 'pollution' on the surface.
But if one thought about it carefully, could the 'pollution' be the root cause of all this?
The 'pollution' caused the retreat of Spiritual Energy!
The 'pollution' led to the decline of the Human Race's fortune and the rise of the Demon Race's fortune!
The 'pollution' created the current difficult predicament of the Human Race!
Qin Zheng's thoughts gradually dispersed.
At this moment, he felt as if he had vaguely sensed an unspeakable truth.
And the more he thought about it, the more terrifying it became!
The Demon Race, as the direct beneficiary of the Human Race's decline, could the cause of the 'pollution' be them?
If that were the case...
Numerous divine statues were polluted.
Could it be that even the myriad gods and Buddhas had already lost?
At this thought, a sense of trepidation suddenly arose in Qin Zheng's heart.
But before this emotion could spread, in just an instant, he controlled his emotions, keeping his mind and thoughts calm.
These were all his speculations.
The truth of the matter was still unclear, and he needed sufficient facts and evidence before he could make a conclusion.
At this moment, Qin Zheng suddenly wanted to enter the Spirit Mystic Realm to see what kind of scene he would encounter.
It had nothing to do with improving himself; he wanted to see if he could find more clues in the Spirit Mystic Realm.
He also wanted to try to see from the Spirit Mystic Realm the reason for the annihilation of the Spirit Ruins. What kind of great calamity could have caused the destruction of the Spirit Ruins?
And from this great calamity, could he witness the decline of the Human Race and the rise of the Demon Race? Was it related to the 'pollution'?
Qin Zheng's thoughts became increasingly turbulent.
At this moment, Gu Xuanji also walked over and said, "The origin of this divine statue has not been recorded."
After speaking, he also reached out and lightly touched the divine statue, guessing, "Perhaps it was a figure like the founder of the Nine Sun Immortal Sect."
Qin Zheng snapped back to his senses at this moment.
Suppressing the myriad thoughts in his mind for a moment, he spoke softly, "This is the Sun Star Lord."
After speaking, he withdrew his hand and turned to look at the tall tower behind the statue.
According to Gu Xuanji, to gain opportunities in the Spirit Ruins, one had to enter that tall tower.
But before he could take a step forward, Gu Xuanji's voice sounded from behind him again, with a hint of hesitation and confusion.
"May I ask, Brother Qin, who is the Sun Star Lord? Why have I never heard of him?"
Qin Zheng was taken aback and immediately turned around to look at Gu Xuanji. The confusion on his face did not seem feigned.
So he paused for a moment and said, "I once read in an ancient book that this person, according to legend, was..."
Gu Xuanji nodded upon hearing this.
Instead, it was Qin Zheng who became perplexed.
Could it be that the Human Race in the Spirit Ruins Realm didn't know about the Immortal Lords?
The moment this thought appeared, his expression slightly froze.
Ah, so that's it.
From the Primordial Yang World to the current Spirit Ruins Realm, except for the Three Pure Ones' statues, every divine statue he had seen was polluted.
And he had never heard anyone mention these Immortal Lords.
Could this also be related to the pollution?
He had this thought, but his expression remained calm.
After suppressing his thoughts, he looked at the tall tower and asked, "So, do we need to go to that tower now?"
Hearing his question, Gu Xuanji nodded and said, "Exactly! In the Spirit Ruins, every Immortal Sect, both inside and out, is covered by restrictions. Places like the Scripture Pavilion and the Dharma Pavilion, where treasures are stored, are filled with even more deadly restrictions!"
"If one makes a wrong move, they might trigger the restriction array, trapping them within and destroying both body and spirit!"
"Therefore, places like the Nine Sun Supreme Tower, where one can temper themselves, and the restrictions have been broken by predecessors, are the ones we should consider the most."
"Qin Zheng nodded and said, "Then let's go."
He was also curious about how this ancient tower of the Nine Sun Immortal Sect had been used to train its disciples.
Gu Xuanji took the lead, walking ahead.
Zhao Qinggan followed closely behind, while Qin Zheng brought up the rear, collecting the bodies of the three Demon Race members and extracting their demon essences for inspection.
A Deer Demon, a Turtle Demon, and a Fox Demon. Their bloodlines didn't seem particularly powerful, and the benefits of refining their demon essences were even less than that of the tenth-ranked Wild Ox.
Qin Zheng shook his head slightly, putting away the demon essences and suppressing the thought of refining them. He followed Gu Xuanji and Zhao Qinggan, gradually approaching the towering tower.
In the vast sect square, only the three of them moved, while the rest was deathly silent, as if no one had ever lived here. The buildings were well-preserved, as if there had been no battle, and the disciples had left on their own, which was quite strange.
After a few breaths, the three of them arrived at the base of the tower.
Qin Zheng's gaze swept across the tower. It was entirely black, with four sides, a diameter of ten zhang, and a height of over a hundred zhang, but there was no entrance.
It looked more like a massive pillar.
Qin Zheng thought to himself.
"The Nine Sun Supreme Tower has nine levels, and each level is a trial. Passing each level will grant corresponding opportunities and rewards."
Gu Xuanji spoke again.
"This tower has no entrance. To enter, simply place your hand on the tower and focus your thoughts on entering, and you'll be able to go in."
Zhao Qinggan added.
After speaking, he slowly stepped forward and placed his hand on the tower.
Hum!
The tower seemed to come alive, emitting a faint glow.
On the black surface, a row of names suddenly appeared.
Upon closer inspection, they were names with rankings.
From one to a hundred, they emerged.
"The names above are ranked based on the talent and potential of those who have entered the Nine Sun Supreme Tower throughout the ages."
Gu Xuanji explained.
Qin Zheng stared at these names, his gaze first falling on the top-ranked name.
Wu Qingping!
The first-ranked name was none other than the number one in the Spirit Ruins, the Absolute Immortal Sword who had single-handedly blocked the seven Demon Deities, Wu Qingping!
Even though he already knew of Wu Qingping's extraordinary talent, he never expected it to be enough to shine through the ages!
After all, the names on this Nine Sun Supreme Tower weren't just from the Human Race in the Spirit Ruins, but also from the disciples of the Nine Sun Immortal Sect from countless eons ago!
At this moment, as they looked at that name, they once again felt the power of the Absolute Immortal Sword.
Qin Zheng's gaze moved down the list.
Xu Fusheng.
The second-ranked name was somewhat familiar to Qin Zheng.
Fusheng Fusheng
Qin Zheng's thoughts returned to that place in the Spirit Mystic Realm.
His identity at that time was indeed called Fusheng!
So this Xu Fusheng must be the one he had been in the Spirit Mystic Realm, the one who had left behind that lingering obsession, the Great Power!
To become an existence above the Celestial Immortal, his talent was indeed extraordinary!
Qin Zheng silently recited the name 'Xu Fusheng'.
Gu Xuanji spoke up again.
"In the Spirit Ruins, countless people have entered the Spirit Ruins over the years, but only a few have left their names on this Nine Sun Supreme Tower."
"Among them, there's the Human Race's Absolute Immortal Sword, Wu Qingping, and the Demon Race's Ten Great Demon Deities."
"So, in the Spirit Ruins, there's a saying that anyone who can leave their name on this tower proves they have the potential to reach the Celestial Immortal realm."
Qin Zheng silently scanned the names below.
After Gu Xuanji finished speaking, he asked, "Where are the Demon Race's Ten Great Demon Deities ranked?"
Gu Xuanji pondered for a moment, as if checking the names above.
After a few breaths, he continued, "The one from Immortal Mountain is ranked seventeenth, the one from Dragon Palace is twenty-sixth, and the one from Phoenix Nest is thirty-first."
"As for the seven from Demon Emperor Palace, they're mostly ranked after fifty."
Qin Zheng nodded.
Zhao Qinggan spoke up, "Opportunities are fleeting. If we wait any longer, others will start arriving soon."
They were lucky to have been teleported to the outskirts of the Nine Sun Immortal Sect.
But that didn't mean other members of the Human Race and Demon Race wouldn't come from other places.
He turned to Qin Zheng and said, "Thank you for your protection along the way. Let's have Qin Brother take the first place in the tower after ten thousand years."
Gu Xuanji nodded and said, "Of course!"
Qin Zheng didn't hesitate and took a step forward. As he touched the pitch-black tower, a thought flashed through his mind.
Whoosh!
In an instant, the scenery before Qin Zheng transformed.
Gu Xuanji and Zhao Qinggan's figures disappeared, and the towering black tower in front of him also vanished.
Whoosh!
A fierce wind howled, stirring up a cloud of yellow sand.
Qin Zheng found himself in a desert, scanning his surroundings to understand his current environment.
He clenched his fist slightly, feeling his own strength, and when he realized he wasn't suppressed, he gradually relaxed.
"In the blink of an eye, a myriad of years have passed. You are the first living being to enter the tower after all this time."
At the end of the desert, a figure appeared, dressed in white, with hands clasped behind his back. Each step he took covered an incredible distance.
In just a few breaths, he arrived before Qin Zheng, a white-robed youth.
"Human, Human Immortal?"
The white-robed youth was slightly taken aback upon seeing Qin Zheng, as if surprised.
He shook his head and chuckled, "It seems your luck is quite good, as you've been directly teleported near my Nine Sun Immortal Sect."
After saying this, he didn't wait for Qin Zheng to respond. He raised a hand and said, "I will suppress my realm to the Human Immortal Realm and only use one hand."
"If you can last a hundred moves against me without falling, you'll pass this trial."
As he spoke, his body also gradually emitted an aura of Human Immortal level.
Qin Zheng didn't immediately react but instead asked, "In this tower, do I need to defeat nine different people to pass the nine trials?"
The white-robed youth was slightly taken aback, then nodded and replied, "You can understand it that way."
Qin Zheng nodded in understanding, and a hint of excitement appeared on his face.
All along, he had been fighting opponents of higher realms, and he hadn't encountered a true match yet.
He also wanted to see how he fared against someone of the same realm.
"Then let's begin!"
Almost as soon as Qin Zheng spoke,
Whoosh!
The white-robed youth's figure suddenly disappeared.
But in the next moment, his figure reappeared, and on his neck, a large hand had appeared.
How is this possible?!
Shock flashed in the white-robed youth's eyes.
However, just then, the large hand that gripped his neck released him.
He quickly reacted, taking a step back and creating a distance of a hundred zhang.
"Use both hands, with all your strength."
Qin Zheng remained calm.
The white-robed youth's casual expression vanished, replaced by solemnity. He extended both hands, and his aura surged to the peak of the Human Immortal Realm.
"If you can kill me, you'll pass this trial!"
He paused slightly, then spoke again.
His figure disappeared once more.
Qin Zheng narrowed his eyes, and his pupils reflected the white-robed youth's movements.
The slender five fingers formed a fist seal.
Then, he took a step forward.
Boom!
The white-robed youth's figure suddenly exploded in the desert.
Just one punch!
Qin Zheng's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and disappointment filled his eyes.
Is this his level?
It didn't even match the power of those top talents from the Demon Race.
Whoosh!
The yellow sand swirled and reformed into the white-robed youth's figure.
Qin Zheng's expression turned serious, and he was about to take action.
