Chapter 368: Utterance and Manifestation, Wind, Rain, Thunder, and Lightning! (4k)



A majestic shadow of the Dao Palace hovered in the sky, stretching across the heavens like the tolling of the Great Dao's bell, reverberating in all directions.

In the countless Void Spirit Realms, sealed Great Demons gazed at this scene in astonishment.

Not long ago, a Human Race member had attained Taiyi, and now, another had reached the same realm in such a short time?

Could it be that after millions of years, some change in the outside world had made the cultivation environment even more favorable?

As this thought flashed through their minds—

Crack!

A faint sound of shattering echoed.

Then—

Boom!

The restrained Demon Aura leaked out, surging into the sky!

The seal that had bound them for millions of years had loosened!

At the same time, in the Spirit Ruins Realm, on Immortal Mountain—

Mo Xun's eyes glowed with a rich golden hue, and he stared intently at the shadow of the Dao Palace above.

The consecutive attainments of Taiyi by two Human Race geniuses had caused a backlash in the Human Race's destiny, but the Demon Race's destiny had also become even more vigorous!

This meant that a great war might soon erupt between the two races.

Whether it was the Dragon Palace Phoenix Nest or Immortal Mountain, neither could remain uninvolved.

A battle of Taiyi Grade was enough to turn the entire Spirit Ruins Realm upside down.

When that time came, all living beings inhabiting this realm would face a grave threat.

With this thought, his mind became even more solemn.

At the same time, in the Human King's Palace—

Sensing the anomaly, Wu Qingping's usually calm eyes revealed a hint of a smile.

In contrast, Yun Qing's expression changed instantly, and she looked up at the shadow of the Dao Palace in the sky with astonishment.

There was a third Taiyi cultivator in this realm!

In her understanding, Qin Zheng had already reached the Taiyi Grade.

Therefore, she naturally assumed that this manifestation of attainment belonged to a third person she had never met.

As Qin Zheng attained Taiyi, the expressions of various forces changed.

At that moment, in the City Lord's Manor of Zhen Ning City, within a cultivation chamber—

Qin Zheng slowly opened his eyes.

A trace of chaos flashed through his eyes, then returned to a clear and tranquil state, like a calm and unperturbed well.

At the same time, the shadow of the Dao Palace in the sky gradually dissipated, leaving only the lingering resonance of the bell's toll echoing through the heavens.

Qin Zheng exhaled softly.

There was not a hint of the extraordinary; everything seemed utterly ordinary.

It was as if his attainment had not made him more powerful but had instead reduced him to an ordinary mortal.

However, Qin Zheng could clearly sense the terrifying power within his body, capable of easily destroying the heavens and earth.

Even in the ancient times millions of years ago, such a realm was enough to be called a Great Ability!

The things mastered at this level far surpassed what Celestial Immortals could comprehend.

Qin Zheng lifted his head, his gaze penetrating the cultivation chamber and reaching the sky above Zhen Ning City.

"Wind," he said softly.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, a fierce wind swept through the heavens.

"Rain," he said again.

The sound of pouring rain filled the air.

"Thunder."

Boom!

Thunderous claps echoed.

"Lightning."

Crack!

A flash of silver lightning streaked across the sky.

Upon reaching the Taiyi Grade, one could make their words manifest.

Qin Zheng observed the outside world, then spoke again after a few breaths, "The sky is clear, and the clouds have vanished."

Instantly, the wind, rain, thunder, and lightning ceased, and the dark clouds parted to reveal a pure, azure sky.

Only then did Qin Zheng retract his gaze and turn his attention inward, looking towards the Dao Palace at the highest point of his inner world.

Perhaps it was because Qin Zheng's primary cultivation method was the Primordial Golden Scripture of the Jade Void lineage.

Therefore, the appearance of this Dao Palace resembled that of the Human King's Palace, or even the Jade Void Palace.

However, Qin Zheng also sensed that the aura emanating from this Dao Palace was not solely that of the Primordial Golden Scripture.

It also carried the serenity of the Pure Jade Scripture and the sharpness of the Slaying Gods Sword Intent.

Thick strands of chaotic energy coiled around the Dao Palace, making it even more mysterious and majestic.

Qin Zheng's mind observed the Dao Palace, then looked towards its depths.

He saw that the Jade Jade and the Slaying Gods Sword Intent, which had originally resided in his Heart Sea, were now situated in the depths of the Dao Palace.

Even the severed finger was brought along, still suppressed by these two divine objects.

Currently, both divine objects and the severed finger were immersed in silence, their divine might unrevealed.

After observing for a few breaths, Qin Zheng looked down at the Great Dao Tree below.

At this moment, the tree stood thirty-six zhang tall, with numerous branches and lush foliage, radiating a vibrant life force.

The gaze shifted, focusing on the entire inner realm.

Over fourteen thousand stars slowly revolved, emitting a dazzling brilliance, and everything appeared perfectly normal.

Then, Qin Zheng collected his thoughts and turned his attention to the Virtue Scroll.

Qin Zheng

Lifespan: 3 million years

Cultivation Technique: Primordial Golden Seal (Incomplete), Dao Scripture of Purity

Treasures: Great Dao Tree (Young), Holy Trinity Jade Ruyi (Damaged), Slaying Gods Sword Intent (Damaged)



Innate Merit: Nine Strands

Posterior Merit: 756,734,256 jin, 3 liang, 7 qian

.

The current treasure, Great Dao Tree, can be enhanced by consuming one strand of Innate Merit. Do you wish to enhance it?

.

The current item, Spiritual Secret Realm, can be entered again by consuming 50 million jin of Merit. Do you wish to enter?

.

Ascend to Taiyi, lifespan skyrockets! Three million years, from the destruction of Qionglae Grand Realm to the present, have not felt this long.

Qin Zheng took a glance and then turned his gaze to the 'Innate Merit' column.

The original forty-nine strands of Innate Merit, after this enhancement, are now only nine strands.

Qin Zheng's eyebrows furrowed slightly.

With less than ten strands, he won't be able to refine the Demon Core.

His mind returned to reality, and at the same time, he took out two Demon Cores.

Heavenly Bull Demon Core, refining it grants the Heavenly Bull Bloodline, and there's a chance to unlock the Qi Divine Treasury!

Spirit Demon Core, refining it grants the Primordial Spirit Stone Heart, and one can manifest an External Avatar!

These two Demon Cores are what Qin Zheng plans to refine next.

Now that he has ascended to Taiyi, even though he's only in the Taiyi Void Realm, he can sense that the Merit required to advance to the Taiyi True Realm will be enormous!

In a short time, he won't be able to enhance his cultivation, so he can only maintain the growth of his combat power through other means.

These two Demon Cores also meet Qin Zheng's current needs.

Unfortunately, the Merit is just one strand short.

Qin Zheng put away the Demon Cores and then stood up, taking a step out of the cultivation chamber.

Since he has already ascended to Taiyi, his strength has skyrocketed, so he can continue to clear the Great Demons in the Void Spirit Realm!

With a step, the scenery around him shifted, and in an instant, he went from Town Ning City to Immortal Mountain.

Mo Xun was currently contemplating the future of the Qilin Clan. When he saw Qin Zheng appear out of thin air behind him, he immediately collected his thoughts.

"Mo Xun pays his respects to the Immortal Lord!"

He hurriedly spoke respectfully.

The young man before him was already a Taiyi-grade existence, a level higher than him, so he couldn't address him as an equal.

Qin Zheng didn't mind these formalities and said, "I don't know if you've completed the task I entrusted you with."

After he killed the human slave Shi Feng, he first came to ask Mo Xun to use the Qilin Clan's talent to find the Void Spirit Realm in the boundless void, where a Great Demon was sealed.

After hearing Qin Zheng's words, Mo Xun nodded and then said, "Our cultivation is limited, and even if we rely on our innate abilities, we still can't see through the boundless void."

"So we could only find these, please forgive us, Immortal Lord."

As he spoke, he reached out his hand and flicked out a strand of black light, which came to rest before Qin Zheng.

Qin Zheng reached out and grasped the black light, and from it, he sensed the auras of eleven Void Spirit Realms.

Excellent, even if there's only one Great Demon in a Void Spirit Realm.

Eleven Void Spirit Realms meant eleven Great Demons, at least one hundred and ten strands of Innate Merit.

"Thank you."

Qin Zheng retracted the black light and then, after a moment's thought, said, "The Spirit Ruins Realm might not be peaceful from now on."

"If you're capable, move Immortal Mountain away."

After saying this, he turned and took a step away.

This old fellow is quite good to me and to the Human Race.

Qin Zheng didn't want to drag him into the quagmire.

After Qin Zheng left, Mo Xun's expression froze for a moment, then changed, and finally settled, as if he had made a decision.

At this moment.

In the boundless void.

Qin Zheng was about to follow the aura given by Mo Xun to the Void Spirit Realm where a Great Demon was sealed.

Suddenly.

A voice sounded in his ear.

Qin Zheng's eyebrows furrowed, and he had to stop and turn back to the Human Palace.

Opposite him was Wu Qingping, who had also ascended to Taiyi.

However, his state seemed a bit strange.

"Wu Qingping congratulates you on ascending to Taiyi."

Wu Qingping smiled and said.

Qin Zheng waved his hand and said, "Senior is joking."

For this senior who had guarded the Human Race for ten thousand years, Qin Zheng still held great respect.

Immediately, he continued, "Senior, you called me over, is there something you wish to say?"

The voice that had just stopped him earlier belonged to the person standing opposite him.

Moreover, the other party's current state was somewhat peculiar, their aura fluctuating between high and low, appearing somewhat unstable. A thought suddenly occurred to Qin Zheng.

After he asked, Wu Qingping nodded and then spoke directly, "My Taiyi Realm has a deficiency, and my strength will fluctuate between high and low."

Qin Zheng's expression slightly stiffened upon hearing this.

Wu Qingping continued, "To achieve the Taiyi Realm, one must cultivate the inner universe to perfection and then construct and condense one's own Dao Palace."

"But the universe we are in has been shattered, and the rules are not perfect."

"Therefore, when cultivating the Celestial Immortal Realm, it is inevitable that there will be imperfections when introducing the rules of the universe."

"And with an imperfect inner universe, one cannot bear the power of the Dao Palace, nor can one ascend to Taiyi."

Qin Zheng nodded slightly upon hearing this.

He finally understood why those Demon Slaves had said that this universe could not achieve the Taiyi Realm.

The reason he was able to achieve the Taiyi Realm without any mishaps was that during his Celestial Immortal Realm, he had evolved the Great Dao Leaves with three thousand rules, instead of relying on his own comprehension to introduce the rules of the universe.

So his inner universe was perfect!

These thoughts flashed through his mind, and he spoke, "So, is your current situation due to the inner universe being unable to bear the power of the Dao Palace?"

Wu Qingping nodded lightly and then continued, "But this is not a major issue."

"As long as the missing rules in the inner universe are supplemented, the realm can be stabilized."

At this point, Qin Zheng's eyes shone, and he asked, "Do you plan to go to the Qiong Lai Grand Realm to supplement the rules?"

Wu Qingping nodded again, and his gaze towards Qin Zheng was filled with relief.

"I originally planned to suppress this situation and persist until after you achieved the Taiyi Realm before addressing this matter."

"But I didn't expect you to ascend to Taiyi so quickly, so I won't delay any further."

"I will take Yun Qing to the Qiong Lai Grand Realm and strive to supplement the rules as soon as possible, then return quickly."

"At the same time, I will also explore the situation in the Qiong Lai Grand Realm and see if there is a possibility for the Human Race to migrate there."

"During this time, I'll leave the Human Race in your capable hands."

As he spoke, a hint of apology appeared on Wu Qingping's face.

At this moment, Qin Zheng also felt that the person before him, the first in the Spirit Ruins who had guarded the Human Race for ten thousand years, was not truly omnipotent.

He nodded and said, "Don't worry, I understand."

After explaining the situation, Wu Qingping hesitated slightly and then reached out to take out an ancient book.

"I'm not sure what cultivation technique you practice, but the sword energy you frequently unleash is similar to the one I cultivate, as if they share the same origin."

"This technique, the 'Absolute Immortal Sword,' was the legacy I obtained on the first floor of the Supreme Tower back then."

"This book contains my cultivation insights over the past ten thousand years. I'm giving it to you now, hoping it will be of use to you."

As Wu Qingping spoke, he handed the ancient book to Qin Zheng.

Qin Zheng was still slightly stunned.

The next moment, Wu Qingping said, "Enough talk. I must leave for the Qiong Lai Grand Realm and return as soon as possible."

After saying this, the unstable aura on his body suddenly stabilized at its peak.

Then, with a single step, he vanished in an instant.

At the same time, within a few breaths, Wu Qingping and Yun Qing's auras completely disappeared from Qin Zheng's perception.

Qin Zheng lowered his gaze to the ancient book in his hand, filled with small, dense characters, all of Wu Qingping's insights over ten thousand years.

On the last page of the ancient book, there were only two sentences.

The first sentence:

"I am fortunate to have received the grace of heaven, and my comprehension is passable. With this sword manual, I will surely cultivate diligently!"

The second sentence:

"We, the Human Race, must hold the three-foot longsword and protect the peace of our people!"

Upon reading these two sentences, Qin Zheng suddenly gained enlightenment.

The Absolute Immortal Sword did not have as many fortuitous encounters as he did, nor did it possess a divine artifact like the Virtue Scroll.

All he had was a single volume of the 'Absolute Immortal Sword Manual.'

At the same time, within the Heart Sea, the Virtue Scroll trembled, and a line of text emerged.

"Immortal Technique 'Absolute Immortal Sword Manual' can be refined, requiring a strand of Innate Merit. Do you wish to refine it?"
