Chapter 387: Primordial Divine Artifact! The Primordial Golden Seal's Aftermath (4k6)



The two beast heads fell to the ground.

Two demonic cores, emitting a faint immortal glow, also fell into Qin Zheng's hands.

Glancing casually at the virtue scroll, he then tossed the two demonic cores into his storage bag.

"Is there a Jade Purity Statue here?"

Qin Zheng turned to Su Yang and asked.

Su Yang hesitated, "The treasure-seeking compass shows that there's a statue here, but it might not necessarily be the Jade Purity Statue."

Qin Zheng nodded slightly and then directly stepped into the cave entrance.

In the cultivation grounds of the Yuxu lineage, which disciple would dare to enshrine a statue other than the Jade Purity Statue? They would likely be expelled.

Seeing Qin Zheng's figure disappear, Su Yang's expression turned indifferent, and he followed, stepping into the cave entrance.

There must be demons from the Demon Abyss here too, he thought to himself, his eyes filled with surging hatred.

After entering the cave passage, the brilliant treasure, like a great sun, disappeared, and the passage branched out in all directions, like a maze.

Yao Xi, in a pale yellow dress, led the way, and after a moment of rushing, they found the exit, leaving the passage and entering a vast cave.

At the first sight, the two of them saw the source of the dense treasure light, a green lotus rooted in the cold spring at the center of the cave! A Primordial Divine Artifact!

In an instant, a thought flashed through her mind.

Even though they didn't recognize this green lotus, its unique and transcendent aura immediately revealed its extraordinary nature.

Following that, a surge of indescribable joy rose in their hearts.

All things in the world have a distinction between the primordial and the postnatal, like humans and demons, which are postnatal beings. A lifetime of cultivation is spent striving to approach the primordial state.

And at this moment, a primordial divine artifact, rarely found in ancient times, appeared before their eyes!

The two of them were shaken, and in each other's gaze, they saw the shock and joy in the other's eyes!

According to ancient records, primordial divine artifacts possess unimaginable power, and among them, the most powerful is its ability to significantly increase the chances of advancing to the Great Dharmaraja Realm!

It can even grant one the power of the Great Dharmaraja Realm in a short time, allowing them to deeply understand the realm's might!

Boom!

Boom!

The sound of a rapidly beating heart echoed in the vast and quiet cave.

"Senior Sister."

Yao Xi opened her mouth to say something.

But in the next moment, she felt a gentle breeze brush past her, rushing towards the cold spring at the center of the cave.

"Let's get the divine artifact first!"

Ding Ning's solemn voice rang in her ear.

Yao Xi instantly snapped back to her senses.

At that moment, someone was approaching from behind, and if they didn't quickly obtain the primordial green lotus, it might slip through their fingers!

With this thought, she instantly followed suit, rushing towards the cold spring at the center of the cave.

Their actions were swift, and in an instant, they crossed a hundred zhang distance and arrived at the edge of the cold spring.

The emerald-green spring water seemed harmless, but as they approached within a zhang of it, a sense of crisis suddenly arose.

They felt as if they were being pinched, and if they took one more step forward, they would be crushed.

This sense of crisis emanated from the seemingly calm and deep spring water! It was indeed a Primordial Divine Artifact, and it couldn't be taken away casually. To obtain this green lotus, a special method would be required!

Their hearts suddenly sank.

A rarely found Primordial Divine Artifact was right before their eyes, and it was only a few zhang away, a mere stone's throw for them.

But under the threat of death, they couldn't take a single step forward!

Yao Xi's face showed impatience, and she quickly spoke up, "Senior Sister, what should we do?!"

Ding Ning's expression was equally anxious, her gaze shifting between the green lotus in the center of the spring and the cave entrance they had come from.

In the next instant, her expression turned fierce, and she reached out to take a wooden sword that carried the breath of time. With a deep voice, she said, "Self-detonation can suppress the divine artifact!"

After speaking, she instantly detonated the wooden sword in her hand, and her face turned unnaturally flushed, her breath erupting like a volcanic eruption, rapidly rising.

Then, she took a step forward and rushed towards the cold spring.

"Even if my cultivation realm drops, and my Dao is injured, it's all worth it as long as we get this green lotus!"

Determination filled Ding Ning's eyes.

Cultivation is difficult, especially for humans in the present age!

Therefore, when encountering an opportunity, one should have the courage to stake everything, gambling it all!

Moreover, the Primordial Divine Artifact before her eyes could change her fate!

If she could obtain it, not only would she reach the Great Dharmaraja Realm, but the Taiyi Spirit Realm would be a sure thing!

Her actions were swift, and in the blink of an eye, she covered the ten-zhang distance and arrived above the green lotus.

Seeing the green lotus emitting strands of divine light, Ding Ning's expression involuntarily showed a moment of intoxication.

A Primordial Divine Artifact, perfect and flawless!

All the world's descriptions of beauty could be applied to the green lotus before her eyes.

But just as she was lost in awe, a root as thick as an arm suddenly shot out from beneath the cold spring, piercing towards her.

A death threat instantly emerged!

Ding Ning immediately snapped back to her senses, reaching out to grasp a longsword and fiercely slashing down at the root.

After detonating the Palace Guarding Artifact, her strength received a short-lived boost, and even with the Taiyi Spirit Realm before her, she was unafraid.

However, as the roots that pierced towards her were severed by her sword, a second one immediately sprouted from beneath the pool.

This repeated, and more and more roots emerged from the pool's depths.

Ding Ning's expression darkened, and for a moment, she was unable to deal with these roots, leading to a stalemate.

But in a daze, as her gaze swept towards the Blue Lotus, she noticed a small object on its lotus heart.

Before she could take a closer look, the root's attack interrupted her, and she was once again entangled in combat.

Outside the Cold Spring, Yao Xi's expression turned more anxious as she witnessed Ding Ning's stalemate.

In the blink of an eye, she took out her own Palace Guarding Artifact, ready to detonate it as well.

If one person can't get it, then two will! Just as she took out her artifact, a violent demon aura surged like a gale, abruptly rushing into the cave.

A tall, tiger-headed man emerged from the passage, stepping into the spacious cave.

The two women by the spring changed their expressions, and in an instant, a root with thorns brushed past Ding Ning's side, tearing a piece of flesh.

Yao Xi abruptly turned, without hesitation, she took a step forward and said, "Junior Sister, focus on the artifact. I'll deal with this tiger demon!"

In a flash, her aura soared to its peak, and she instantly reached the tiger-headed demon's front, delivering a whip-like kick.

Boom!

Bang!!

The tiger-headed demon had just stepped out of the passage and hadn't fully grasped the situation in the cave when he was met with a whip-like kick.

Caught off guard, he was sent flying by the kick and slammed into the cave wall.

Immediately after, a figure in a pale yellow gown rushed forward, swinging a long saber in a full moon arc, slashing downward.

But by this time, the tiger-headed demon had reacted, and his powerful physique instantly dodged, evading the strike.

As Yao Xi turned back, a thick hand formed a fist seal, as if it could shatter the void, and it landed in front of her.

So fast!

Her pupils contracted, and she could only barely lift her saber, using its wide blade to block the strike.

Bang!!

A more intense booming sound reverberated.

The figure in the pale yellow gown was now embedded in the mountain, with blood flowing from her seven orifices.

The tiger-headed demon's face was filled with ferocity, and he roared, "Dare to attack me, and I'll tear you, a human, into ten thousand pieces today!"

As he spoke, his gaze shifted to the center of the cave, and he immediately spotted the Blue Lotus above the Cold Spring, emitting a divine glow.

His expression froze, and then, with a pause between each word, he exclaimed in disbelief, "Primordial! Divine! Artifact!"

As he spoke these four words, the ferocity in his eyes was instantly replaced by shock.

Then, without a moment's delay, he transformed into an indescribable ecstasy, no longer concerned about Yao Xi, who was embedded in the mountain. He rushed towards the Cold Spring.

At this moment, another figure emerged from the entrance passage.

His temples were speckled with white, and his stature was tall and straight—the middle-aged man of the human race.

Upon entering the cave, his gaze instantly fell upon the Blue Lotus above the Cold Spring, and his eyes shone with awe and joy.

The tiger-headed demon let out a cold snort and, as he rushed towards the Cold Spring, said, "Leave the human behind me to you. After I retrieve this Blue Lotus, we'll split it evenly."

Currently, there was only one demon in the field, but there were three humans.

If they continued to split the spoils three to seven, in front of the Primordial Divine Artifact, that guy might immediately betray them and first join forces with the two humans to deal with him!

Though he wasn't afraid, the most important thing at the moment was to retrieve that Blue Lotus first!

Hearing his words, the middle-aged man with speckled temples glanced at the Blue Lotus, his eyes flashing with light a few times, and then he nodded, "Good."

Yao Xi struggled out from the mountain, her eyes filled with anxiety and anger, and she shouted, "If you want the Blue Lotus, you'll have to step over my dead body first!"

After saying this, she raised her saber and rushed towards the tiger-headed demon.

Although they were both at the Taiyi Real Realm, she was significantly weaker than the tiger-headed demon, but she still had some fighting spirit!

However, as her figure took a few steps, the middle-aged man's figure appeared before her, saying, "Fellow Daoist, stay here obediently."

Yao Xi's expression turned fierce, and she shouted with more anger, "You human scum! Die!"

The saber slashed through the void, carrying rolling saber Qi.

The middle-aged man's expression didn't change, but a dark shadow appeared in his eyes, and he said coldly, "Seeking your own death!"

His large hand reached out, covered by a thin layer of glove as thin as a cicada's wing, with silver-white electricity flowing beneath.

In an instant, palm and saber met, and thunderous light and electricity erupted, silver turning into deep purple, flowing into Yao Xi's body along the saber.

"Ah!"

In that instant, her insides felt like a turbulent river, causing her face to pale instantly.

But regardless of her condition, the saber she was swinging down continued to press down, increasing its power!

In the moment of stalemate, the middle-aged man's eyes narrowed, and he reached out with his other hand, slapping the saber's blade.

Swoosh!

As the powerful force swept past, Yao Xi's expression changed slightly. Her body tilted to the side, but she quickly adjusted and resumed her fight with the middle-aged man.

Both were at the Taiyi Real Realm, and even with Yao Xi's reckless fighting style, it was difficult to determine a winner in a short time.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Just as the tiger-headed demon approached the Cold Spring, about to reach a distance of one zhang, he suddenly sensed a faint death threat.

This caused his expression to change slightly, and he looked towards the Cold Spring, where Ding Ning was entangled with the roots but gradually getting closer to the blue lotus.

"Hmph!"

The tiger-headed demon snorted coldly, then reached out and took out a white bone boat, stepping into it and rushing towards the center of the Cold Spring.

The white bone boat was also a supreme treasure. After floating on the Cold Spring, it created an invisible barrier, covering the tiger-headed demon and quickly sailing towards the center.

As if sensing his arrival, the roots beneath the Cold Spring reacted immediately. Thick roots with sharp thorns lashed out like whips.

Slap! Slap! Slap!

The white bone boat instantly shook violently, but it still quickly sailed towards the center of the Cold Spring.

Seeing this, Ding Ning's expression turned anxious, while the tiger-headed demon's eyes burned with fervor.

Just as they approached the center.

Whoosh!

The blue lotus stirred slightly.

Then, with the lotus as the center, the Cold Spring instantly froze, spreading outwards.

At the same time, a freezing aura capable of turning divine souls into ice emerged like ordinary white mist, quickly spreading in all directions.

In that instant, both Ding Ning and the tiger-headed demon felt an extremely intense death threat!

Run!!

Run for your life!!

This thought flashed through the minds of both human and demon.

The tiger-headed demon hesitated not for a moment, turning and dashing out of the Cold Spring. No matter how precious a divine artifact was, it was only useful if one was alive to use it.

As for Ding Ning, a moment of hesitation flashed in her eyes, but then her expression hardened, and she charged towards the blue lotus at the center of the Cold Spring.

Even if this action meant certain death, as long as she could grasp that blue lotus, there might be a glimmer of hope!

If one lacked the courage to risk their life, how could they ever obtain a primordial divine artifact?

The tiger-headed demon, having escaped to the edge of the Cold Spring, turned and witnessed this scene. His pupils shrank, and his expression turned solemn.

Ding Ning's figure passed through the white mist, enduring the freezing cold, her right hand reaching out to touch the blue lotus. Her eyes already shone with hope and joy.

Suddenly.

Whoosh!

The blue lotus stirred again.

An invisible force instantly spread out, violently pushing Ding Ning's body out of the Cold Spring, like a beam of light colliding with the cave wall.

Boom!!

A massive collision sound echoed.

Ding Ning's seven orifices bled, her body collapsing to the ground as if every bone in her body had shattered, unconscious.

"Senior Sister!!!"

Yao Xi's expression changed.

But in the next moment, a massive dark shadow appeared behind her, and a palm strike pressed down like the heavens.

Without time to defend, she too was struck into a beam of light, slamming into the cave wall.

Even though they were both at the Taiyi Real Realm, there was still a vast difference in their strength.

The tiger-headed demon coldly glared at the middle-aged man, saying coldly, "So long and still can't defeat her, useless!"

Yao Xi struggled free from the cave wall, stumbling towards her senior sister.

Just as the tiger-headed demon stepped forward, about to finish off the two women, a deep voice suddenly sounded behind him.

"Move aside."

A thick, powerful force pushed him back, causing him to stumble a few steps.

Anger rose in his heart, and the tiger demon turned abruptly.

A figure in a black robe with golden patterns stepped forward, ignoring everyone present, and with a single step, reached the frozen Cold Spring.

The tiger-headed demon's expression turned savage, curious to see how this reckless human would fly out.

"Don't go, it's dangerous!"

Yao Xi, seeing this, urgently shouted a warning.

But there was no response.

In the eyes of the onlookers, the figure in the black robe with golden patterns took a step onto the ice of the Cold Spring without hesitation.

No strange phenomena occurred, leaving the two women and the demon in disbelief.

Could it be that the danger had passed?

In their gaze, the figure in the black robe reached out towards the blue lotus, his hand entering the lotus.

It can be taken!!

The tiger-headed demon and the middle-aged man, both human and demon, rushed forward like beams of light.

At this moment, Qin Zheng, holding the Jade Purity Statue in his hand, saw the Virtue Scroll in his mind's eye quickly display words.
