Chapter 354: Void Spirit Realm, Taiyi Demon!
Chapter 354: Void Spirit Realm, Taiyi Demon!
Between the Nine Territories of the Human Race and the Ten Thousand Chariots Demonic Kingdom, there lies an expansive buffer zone, where verdant mountains stretch endlessly and mighty rivers surge.
At this moment, in a serene location amidst the green mountains and clear waters, two figures stroll leisurely as if in their own backyard.
Wu Qingping walks with his hands clasped behind his back, moving forward slowly.
Beside him, Qin Zheng remains silent, deep in thought, processing the information he had just received.
If it's not guarded by the Seven Great Demon Deities, then it must be an existence even more terrifying than them!
Above the Celestial Immortals, there is Taiyi!
At this moment, Qin Zheng suddenly recalls the strange commotion he heard deep within the Spirit Ruins when he first entered.
All the creatures in the Spirit Ruins had disappeared, and only within that grand hall, there were still monstrous roars echoing.
He had previously speculated that there might be a Taiyi-grade being sealed and suppressed within that hall.
Only the one who obtains the first rank in the Supreme Pagoda can enter the depths of the Nine Sun Sect.
The Immortal Severing Sword before him had also achieved the first rank and entered that place, so he must have heard the commotion of that monster.
Could the one he is guarding be the monster within that hall?
In an instant, various speculations flood Qin Zheng's mind.
At this moment, Wu Qingping's voice resounds once more: "This realm is not as simple as it appears to mortals."
As he speaks, he gently extends his hand, and the void seems to yield like water, allowing him to effortlessly probe within.
Qin Zheng focuses his mind, paying close attention to Wu Qingping's voice and movements.
After a few breaths.
Wu Qingping slowly withdraws his hand, and in his grasp, there is a spirit fruit emitting a mysterious aura.
Upon seeing this fruit, Qin Zheng's pupils narrow slightly.
He senses the aura of the Spirit Ruins emanating from this fruit!
The person before him can effortlessly pass through the void and enter the Spirit Ruins! Just as he had guessed, the one being suppressed by his opponent is the monster deep within the Nine Sun Sect!
As this thought crosses Qin Zheng's mind, Wu Qingping speaks again.
"This spirit fruit has remarkable healing properties. Your injuries are not minor, so give it a try."
He seems to see through Qin Zheng's thoughts and smiles gently, "By the way, it didn't come from the Spirit Ruins."
After saying this, he hands over the spirit fruit.
Qin Zheng is momentarily taken aback but quickly regains his composure and reaches out to take the fruit.
The spirit fruit feels smooth and warm in his hand, and the mere scent of its fragrance makes Qin Zheng feel his injuries healing.
He also notices that the aura emanating from the fruit is slightly different from that of the Spirit Ruins.
It didn't come from the Spirit Ruins.
At this moment, Wu Qingping slowly explains, "This spirit fruit comes from another secret realm."
Qin Zheng suddenly remembers what Zhao Qinggan had said.
Zhao Qinggan mentioned that he had inadvertently entered a secret realm, where he encountered Wu Qingping and obtained a life-saving sword.
Thinking of this, Qin Zheng's eyebrows furrow slightly, and he asks, "How many secret realms are there in the Spirit Ruins Realm?"
Wu Qingping immediately responds, "It's hard to count."
Qin Zheng's pupils constrict.
Wu Qingping continues, "These secret realms scattered throughout the Spirit Ruins Realm emit auras very similar to that of the Spirit Ruins."
"Moreover, like the Spirit Ruins, they are all desolate places devoid of life."
He pauses briefly before continuing, "I guard several of these secret realms!"
It's not the monster deep within the Nine Sun Sect.
Instead, it's a desolate place devoid of life.
Qin Zheng is slightly puzzled by this statement.
But the next words from the Immortal Severing Sword make him instantly alert.
"You must have sensed that something is amiss with that grand hall in the depths of the Nine Sun Sect."
Wu Qingping turns to face Qin Zheng.
Qin Zheng asks solemnly, "Senior, what is inside that hall?"
"A Great Demon!"
Wu Qingping answers directly.
Before Qin Zheng can speak further, Wu Qingping continues, "In the Spirit Ruins, the Nine Sun Sect, the Divine Splendor Sect, and the Ten Thousand Demons Sect, each have a Great Demon sealed in their deepest forbidden grounds."
"And in the Spirit Ruins, I've discovered seven such secret realms with sealed demons, including one with a loosening seal!"
As he speaks, the usually calm and composed Wu Qingping, the first in the Spirit Ruins, reveals a hint of gravity on his face.
Listening to Wu Qingping's increasingly grave tone, Qin Zheng's mind sinks slowly.
For Wu Qingping to feel this way and refer to it as a Great Demon, it must be more than just above the Celestial Immortals.
These sealed Great Demons are at least Taiyi-grade beings!
In an instant, Qin Zheng feels as if a mountain has descended upon his heart.
"Can you take me to see these Void Spirit Realms?" Qin Zheng asked after a brief silence.
Wu Qingping gently shook his head and replied, "The location of the Void Spirit Realms is extremely dangerous, even for those above Celestial Immortals. It's not a place one can venture into lightly."
"Your talent surpasses mine. Stay here in the Spirit Ruins and focus on your cultivation. Once you truly ascend to the Celestial Immortal realm, I'll take you there."
Qin Zheng could only nod in response.
He then asked, "Are there any other Celestial Immortals in the Spirit Ruins who have sensed the existence of the Void Spirit Realms?"
If the Demon Race were to learn about the impending release of a Taiyi-level Great Demon from the Void Spirit Realms, they might take action to break the seal and expedite the demon's emergence.
Wu Qingping understood Qin Zheng's thoughts and directly responded, "Sensing the existence of the Void Spirit Realms is only natural."
"However, their strength is insufficient to freely roam the void and search for the Spirit Realms. You need not worry about that."
Hearing these words, Qin Zheng felt a slight relief from the pressure in his heart.
But facing a seal with cracks, there was a high possibility of a Taiyi-level Great Demon emerging.
Qin Zheng couldn't completely relax.
Taiyi!
He needed to expedite his cultivation! Only by swiftly reaching the Taiyi realm could he have greater confidence in facing the potential threats within the Void Spirit Realms! This thought suddenly emerged in Qin Zheng's mind.
He then turned his gaze towards the figure across from him and asked, "May I ask, how far am I from reaching Taiyi?"
Wu Qingping wasn't surprised that Qin Zheng knew of the term 'Taiyi'. After a few moments of contemplation, he replied, "Just one step away."
Qin Zheng's eyes lit up instantly.
With the qualifications of an Immortal Severing Sword, if he was just one step away, it meant that ascension was within reach! However, Wu Qingping's expression remained calm and unperturbed, without a hint of fluctuation.
"Qin Zheng."
He suddenly spoke up.
Qin Zheng focused his mind and turned his gaze towards him.
The number one person in the Spirit Ruins continued, "Have you ever wondered why the Spirit Ruins were destroyed?"
Without giving Qin Zheng a chance to respond, Wu Qingping continued, "What we face may not just be the sealed Great Demons within the Void Spirit Realms."
"Focus on your cultivation."
After saying these words, ripples appeared in the void around Wu Qingping, and he handed the wooden sword in his hand to Qin Zheng.
"The power emanating from that Great Demon is growing stronger. I must go to that Void Spirit Realm and suppress it with all my strength."
"After this battle, the Spirit Ruins will enjoy a period of stability. If any situation arises, I'll return promptly."
"If I don't sense it, you can summon me through this wooden sword."
"During my absence, the Human Race is in your hands."
After saying this, Wu Qingping lightly nodded towards Qin Zheng, then took a step and vanished into the void, leaving Qin Zheng alone.
Qin Zheng narrowed his eyes, his pupils gleaming with a grave expression.
In his past impressions, whether through others' descriptions, his own experiences, or rumors, the Human Race's Immortal Severing Sword was always a revered existence.
With a seven-foot stature, standing tall and proud like a divine being, it guarded the fate of the Human Race.
But in this brief moment of conversation, Qin Zheng sensed a deeply hidden weariness from Wu Qingping!
Even if he had been suppressing the Demon Race alone for ten millennia, as a soon-to-be Taiyi-level powerhouse, he shouldn't feel tired.
Taiyi-level!
Even in the so-called ancient times before the destruction of the Spirit Ruins, it was the pinnacle of power!
For something to make him feel weary, it was likely not just the ten-thousand-year suppression or the potential release of a Great Demon from the Void Spirit Realms.
It could be some truth that made one feel powerless, the kind that breeds fatigue. The other party must know something! Qin Zheng's mind was filled with thoughts at that moment.
In an instant, he had a certain guess in his heart.
Perhaps it was because of his current realm's insufficiency that the Immortal Severing Sword hadn't chosen to reveal this truth to him.
However, even if the other party didn't inform him, Qin Zheng understood that the truth they knew might be related to the destruction of the Spirit Ruins.
The Void Spirit Realms, the Taiyi-level demonic disaster, these two were definitely connected to the Spirit Ruins!
Thinking of this, Qin Zheng didn't linger and immediately gathered his thoughts, turning to step into the void.
He needed to return to the Human Realm's territory as soon as possible and then conclude his exploration of the Spiritual Secret Realm left behind by the Heart Demon.
There, he might be able to sense some truth! After all, that lingering remnant of the Heart Demon was once a Taiyi-level powerhouse!
