Chapter 323: Primordial Gold Seal, Dao Attains Primordial! (4000 words)



Immortal Qi!

An intensely dense Immortal Qi!

As the white light enveloping him dissipated, Qin Zheng's mind instantly gave birth to this thought.

Immediately, he looked around in all directions.

Before his eyes was a desolate wasteland filled with ruins.

All around, dilapidated and collapsed buildings were scattered, emitting a chilling aura of deathly silence.

However, at the same time, the void was also filled with Immortal Qi so dense that it was almost tangible.

It wasn't the Immortal Spirit Qi of the Spirit Ruins Realm, but the Nine Heavens Essence Qi that he had to pass trials to obtain in the Nine Sun Supreme Tower!

Where was this place?

Qin Zheng did not immediately succumb to joy.

His eyebrows twitched slightly.

Under the cover of that white light, he had felt an extremely dense spatial fluctuation.

Coupled with the dense Nine Heavens Essence Qi in the void, this place was definitely not an illusion but a real location.

He just didn't know if it was still within the tower.

This thought emerged in his mind.

Arriving at this new environment, Qin Zheng temporarily set aside his thoughts about the black tower and the palace behind it, focusing solely on the current situation.

He took a step forward, ready to investigate this place.

But at that very moment,

The vast and boundless power within his body suddenly began to decline rapidly without any warning, and then, in an instant, it vanished completely!

It was as if a bucket filled with water had emptied in that moment, leaving only an empty bucket.

A sense of emptiness washed over him, followed by a feeling of weakness and insecurity.

This was the feeling he had when he first crossed over, before stepping into the martial path—a feeling he shouldn't have at this stage!

How could this happen?! Qin Zheng's pupils constricted, and his expression turned solemn.

However, he didn't panic. Instead, he maintained his calm, suppressing the rising sense of weakness while pondering over his recent experiences.

At the same time, he immersed his consciousness within his body, carefully sensing his current state.

He tried to find the reason for the sudden disappearance of his power.

After a moment,

Qin Zheng's consciousness returned, and the solemn expression on his face faded.

Everything within his body was normal, except for the loss of his power; there were no other issues.

W

Even now, as his consciousness entered his Heart Sea, he could still stir the Sword Intent of Immortal Slaying.

Moreover, upon careful recollection, after entering the Spirit Ruins, he hadn't suffered any injuries, and everything had been normal until just now.

Therefore, it shouldn't be his problem.

The reason for the sudden disappearance of his power should be this piece of heaven and earth!

Furthermore, his power hadn't truly dissipated; it was merely suppressed by the rules of this place, creating the illusion of disappearance!

At this thought, Qin Zheng's gaze fell upon the ruins before him, and his eyes sharpened.

This place, capable of suppressing his Earth Immortal Rank cultivation, was definitely not an ordinary wasteland!

As the final trial of the Nine Sun Supreme Tower, this trial was certainly not as straightforward as the previous ones, a simple battle to determine victory or defeat!

Thinking thus,

Pa! Qin Zheng took a step forward, beginning his exploration of this new realm.

Without his formidable strength, he still moved swiftly, relying on his light body skills.

Along the way, he saw only collapsed buildings, with occasional decaying trees and toppled mountains.

Compared to the Spirit Ruins, where Immortal Sects remained intact and opportunities were still present, this place looked more like a true wasteland.

Throughout his journey, he encountered nothing but desolation, and there were no other objects in sight.

Additionally, unlike the previous eight trials, there were no living beings from the tower to provide guidance or instructions.

Amidst this seemingly aimless exploration, Qin Zheng's figure slowly approached a grand hall.

This was the only intact hall he had encountered on his journey.

The moment he laid eyes on this hall, Qin Zheng's expression changed, revealing a resemblance to the hall behind the tall tower, which seemed to seal the Taiyi Realm.

What was the connection between these two halls? Could this be the true Nine Sun Immortal Sect? Or was the Nine Sun Immortal Sect modeled after this place?

In an instant, various thoughts flashed through Qin Zheng's mind.

After a few breaths, he suppressed these chaotic thoughts, took a step forward, and slowly approached the hall.

At the same time, a strand of his consciousness entered his Heart Sea, communicating with the Sword Intent of Immortal Slaying within, in case of any unforeseen circumstances.

Rumble!

Just as Qin Zheng's figure arrived before the grand majestic hall and was about to push open the two heavy doors, a loud rumbling sound echoed.

The two massive doors slowly opened by themselves.

The scene within the hall immediately caught Qin Zheng's gaze.

Stone Statues!

The entire hall was filled with stone statues, each with unique expressions, yet they seemed lifelike, as if they were once real people! At this moment, hundreds of statues all faced the entrance, as if staring directly at Qin Zheng, giving off an indescribable sense of eerie terror.

Qin Zheng's eyes narrowed slightly.

Without fear, he strode into the hall, reaching out and touching the statue closest to the door.

After a few breaths, Qin Zheng calmly withdrew his hand and continued forward, touching another statue.

After touching over a dozen statues, Qin Zheng finally stopped.

The Virtue Scroll showed no changes.

Therefore, these were just ordinary statues, not divine ones!

Qin Zheng confirmed this information before continuing to observe the hall.

The hall was spacious and dilapidated, but it seemed to be maintained by a special power, preventing it from collapsing like other structures.

Inside the hall, apart from the statues, there were also piles of fragmented stones.

These fragments were mixed among the statues, as if they were the remains of shattered statues.

Who shattered them? Was it the Absolute Immortal Sword?

This thought flashed through Qin Zheng's mind.

And just at that moment—

Rumble!

The two doors of the hall suddenly closed.

Immediately after, the statues began to tremble.

This sudden change caught Qin Zheng off guard, and he quickly focused his mind, invoking the Sword Intent of Immortal Slaying from his Heart Sea.

Buzz!

The terrifying sword intent burst forth.

The changes in the hall momentarily stalled.

But in the next instant—

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The statues suddenly exploded, and strands of Immortal Light shot out, swirling in the air above the hall as if they had their own consciousness.

After a few breaths, all the statues shattered, turning into Immortal Light that swirled above Qin Zheng's head.

What was happening now?!

Qin Zheng's expression changed slightly.

In the next moment, a strand of Immortal Light shot out and instantly landed before him.

At the same time, the Virtue Scroll trembled, and lines of text emerged:

[Discovered Immortal Art - Great Overseeing Immortal Technique. Can be refined. Requires 100 million units of virtue. Proceed with refinement?]



[Note: Mastery over one of the Five Heavenly Qi leads to the Dao!]



[Note: Ancient Era Immortal's legacy, cultivable to Taiyi Realm!]



Ancient Era Immortal!

Taiyi Dao Legacy!

Upon seeing the information on the Virtue Scroll, Qin Zheng's pupils constricted.

He abruptly raised his head, gazing at the hundreds of strands of Immortal Light above him.

Could each of these strands of light be the legacy of Ancient Era Immortals, leading to the Taiyi Realm?!

Were the statues containing the Immortal Light the remains of Ancient Era Immortals who cultivated these Immortal Arts?

Was this world a relic from the Ancient Era?!

As this thought arose, another beam of light rushed towards him and landed before him.

The Virtue Scroll trembled again.

[Discovered Immortal Art - One Qi Yin Yang Technique. Can be refined. Requires 100 million units of virtue. Proceed with refinement?]



[Note: One Yin and One Yang, Heaven-Earth Transformation, Mastery over Yin and Yang leads to the Dao!]



[Note: Ancient Era Immortal's legacy, cultivable to Taiyi Realm!]



Indeed!

Another Immortal Art that could lead to the Taiyi Realm!

Qin Zheng's heart was filled with overwhelming joy.

The greatest opportunities that were hard to come by in the outside world were now above his head, with dozens, even hundreds of strands of Immortal Light!

So, the final challenge of the Nine Sun Supreme Tower was not a test but a reward for those who passed the previous eight challenges and claimed the top spot!

With this thought, Qin Zheng abruptly looked up at the numerous strands of Immortal Light above.

At this moment, the strands of Immortal Light seemed to have their own consciousness, swirling above Qin Zheng's head as if examining him, assessing whether he was worthy.

So far, only two Immortal Arts had actively sought out Qin Zheng.

Although they were Immortal Arts that could lead to the Taiyi Realm, Qin Zheng wondered if his talent would only earn him the recognition of two Immortal Arts.

Qin Zheng's eyebrows furrowed slightly.

In the next instant—

Swish! Swish! Swish!

The strands of Immortal Light swirling above his head rushed towards Qin Zheng.

At the same time, lines of text rapidly appeared on the Virtue Scroll in his Heart Sea.

Qin Zheng immediately focused his mind, immersing himself in the information on the Virtue Scroll.

Taiyi!

Taiyi!

Taiyi!

All of them were Immortal Arts that could lead to the Taiyi Realm!

Qin Zheng was overwhelmed, carefully considering and selecting the Immortal Arts.

He understood that although numerous Immortal Arts swirled around him at this moment, he could only choose one among them.

Once he made his choice, the remaining Immortal Lights should transform back into stone statues.

The chosen Immortal Light would cause its original stone statue to crumble into fragments.

The fragments he had seen earlier were likely formed by those who entered this grand hall before him and selected their Immortal Arts.

With this thought, he realized that within the Spirit Ruins Realm, regardless of the Demon Clan's heritage, the Absolute Immortal Sword must have mastered the path to Taiyi!

This idea flashed through his mind.

Qin Zheng then continued his selection, and in that moment, nearly a hundred strands of Immortal Light gathered around him.

And in the next instant, one particular Immortal Art immediately caught his attention.

[Discovering Immortal Art - Primordial Gold Seal, can be refined, requires 100 million jin of virtue, refine?]



[Note: Dao Attainment, Witness Primordial!]



[Note: This Immortal Art is incomplete, can only be cultivated to Taiyi!]



The moment Qin Zheng saw this information, he made his decision.

He never expected to find the Jade Clarity heritage here!

Although it could only be cultivated to Taiyi, the quality of this Immortal Art was undoubtedly the highest among the hundred or so others.

At this moment, Qin Zheng also had a rough guess about the meaning behind the Absolute Immortal Sword's 'Absolute Immortal' name.

It was highly likely that the other party had obtained the Supreme Clarity heritage here, hence the name 'Absolute Immortal'!

With this thought, Qin Zheng waved his hand, dispelling the remaining Immortal Lights.

With such an Immortal Art in hand, there was no need to look at the others.

He immediately grasped the chaotic strand of Immortal Light and silently chanted, "Refine!"

Buzz!

The virtue scroll trembled slightly.

Instantly, a force descended upon him.

The strand of Immortal Light containing the Primordial Gold Seal instantly merged into Qin Zheng's body.

Boom!

In that instant, Qin Zheng felt a sudden rumbling within his body, and his consciousness sank.

When he regained consciousness, the scene before him made his Divine Soul tremble, and he was filled with awe.

In front of him was a heavenly palace cultivation ground, with thirty-six ancient wells arranged in a line, and above them hung a large bell enveloped in primordial chaos energy.

The thirty-six ancient wells gushed forth chaotic dim light.

The bell swayed and slowly rang.

Dong! Dong! Dong!

The bell rang three times, like the sound of the Great Dao cleansing one's soul.

Qin Zheng instantly felt as if his Divine Soul had been purified, bringing him closer to the Dao!

Immediately after, twelve silhouettes emerged from the ancient wells, shrouded in primordial chaos energy, making it impossible to discern their true forms.

However, Qin Zheng's vision followed these twelve silhouettes, gradually entering the depths of the heavenly palace.

They arrived at a grand hall.

On the cloud bed, there was nothing but emptiness.

The twelve silhouettes bowed respectfully and then sat cross-legged on meditation cushions, their gazes fixed on the cloud bed as if a majestic presence was seated there.

Seeing this, Qin Zheng's heart slightly tightened.

The next moment, a voice like the sound of the Great Dao echoed through the hall.

"Today, I will lecture on the Primordial Gold Seal!"

Spirit Ruins Realm.

The small courtyard in the green mountains.

The man stopped carving the wooden sword.

Standing at the edge of the courtyard, he gazed calmly at the vast heavens beyond the green mountains.

Although it was a simple action, it exuded an aura of heavenly majesty.

On the towering Black Mountain, a million miles away.

Two silhouettes stood side by side, their brows slightly furrowed.

One of them was the dark-faced man who had confronted the man before.

"What is he up to now, not carving the sword?" the dark-faced man wondered aloud.

The other person was a youth in a silver robe, his expression cold.

His eyes were filled with vigilance.

After a few breaths, the silver-robed youth spoke in a cold voice, "Keep an eye on him. Letting him slay the Heart Demon is the limit of our patience."

"If he dares to make another move, we won't hold back either. If he wants a fight, we'll give him one!"

The two stood ready, their voices filled with determination.

But in the small courtyard, the man had merely stopped carving and walked to the edge.

A simple action, yet it made the two Demon Deities tense and solemn!

Inside the small courtyard, the man seemed unaware of the two figures on the Black Mountain.

In his pupils, he saw the scenes of his battle with the golden-robed figure in the Spirit Ruins Supreme Tower!
