Chapter 388: Six-Grade Primordial Blue Lotus! (4k4)



At this moment, Qin Zheng's mind was focused, contemplating the profound and vast Dao principles within his heart.

His guess was correct; after obtaining the Jade Purity Statue again, he indeed refined and obtained the subsequent portion of the Primordial Golden Seal.

Although it was still incomplete and could only cultivate up to the Great Dharmaraja, it was already sufficient.

The cultivation in the Taiyi Realm was no longer hindered; as long as the accumulation of merit was enough, attaining the Great Dharmaraja realm was within reach.

With this thought, a faint joy welled up in Qin Zheng's heart.

Then, he separated a wisp of his mind to continue his insights, while the rest of his mental power returned to the outside world.

This Jade Purity Statue was a bit strange; not only was it slightly smaller in size, but it was also placed on the heart of a lotus.

Qin Zheng's gaze once again fell upon the blue lotus before him.

Primordial Divine Artifact

Although he lacked sufficient knowledge and didn't understand what the Primordial Divine Artifact represented, he was aware that this lotus was not ordinary.

Thus, he was about to reach out and touch it.

But at that moment—

Boom!!

Two figures consecutively shattered the void.

In an instant—

A man and a demon instantly appeared in the center of the cold spring, in front of the blue lotus.

"This thing belongs to me!"

The tiger-headed demon roared ferociously.

His face was hideous, as a human, it was natural to covet such a divine artifact.

The middle-aged man's eyes turned silver-white, and a terrifying lightning glow emerged from his hands.

The aura he exuded, at this moment, even briefly surpassed that of the tiger-headed demon.

Qin Zheng's eyes narrowed slightly, and he was about to take action.

But at the next moment—

Whoosh!

The blue lotus moved lightly once more.

An invisible force, like a ripple, surged out from within the lotus.

Boom!

The man and the demon felt their souls tremble, and the intent to kill almost materialized, detectable in the air.

Without hesitation, the man and the demon immediately retreated at an even faster speed.

Just as they were about to leave the range of the cold spring, they were still touched by an invisible force from behind.

Under the assault of immense power, the man and the demon instantly turned into two streaks of light and slammed into the cave's rock wall.

Boom!

Violent rumbling shook the cave.

Pfft!!

Two voices spat blood almost simultaneously.

Qin Zheng remained standing in his original spot, unaffected in the slightest, and as the lotus swayed, it seemed to convey a sense of intimacy towards him.

Witnessing this scene, the tiger-headed demon staggered to his feet and looked towards the center of the cold spring, at the figure standing unmoved, filled with incredulous anger.

"How is this possible?!"

The middle-aged man's face darkened as he looked at the figure in the golden-patterned black robe, and doubt also flashed in his eyes.

Qin Zheng gazed at the blue lotus before him.

In that fleeting moment, he only saw the lotus slightly swaying, and then a gentle breeze brushed past, and there were no other anomalies.

At this moment, seeing the commotion of the man and the demon, his eyes flickered as if understanding something, and he reached out and gently touched the lotus.

Buzz!

In the next instant, the virtue scroll in his heart trembled, and a few lines of text reappeared.

【Item Discovered: Six-Grade Primordial Blue Lotus, can be refined. Requires 100,000 strands of Innate Merit. Refine?】

【Note: Refining grants Azure Nine Tribulations Technique】

【Note: One Tribulation, One Difficulty, One Rebirth. Condense Soul, Condense Divine Energy, and Condense Heaven's Fortune. After the Nine Tribulations, reverse Primordial, and attain Great Dharmaraja!】

【Note: No need to refine, consuming grants temporary Great Dharmaraja power, but realm will drop, and foundation will be damaged!】

【Note: No need to refine, consuming grants temporary Great Dharmaraja realm, but lifespan will be reduced, and further cultivation is impossible!】

Seeing the words on the virtue scroll, Qin Zheng's mind trembled.

Six-Grade Primordial Blue Lotus

Azure Nine Tribulations Technique

Great Dharmaraja Power

Great Dharmaraja Realm

In the Heavens Palace Fragment, a divine artifact of such caliber!

By refining it, he would be able to obtain the power of the Great Dharmaraja at any time!

With sufficient ruthlessness, he could even directly advance to the Great Dharmaraja!

Although his lifespan would be reduced to only ten thousand years, during that time, he would be an invincible existence!

However, his current accumulation of innate merit was insufficient, far from reaching the level required to refine the blue lotus.

Qin Zheng's thoughts raced, and he withdrew his mental power from his heart, refocusing his gaze on the primordial blue lotus.

Unable to refine it now, how could he take it away?

Could he pull it out by the roots?

Qin Zheng's gaze shifted downward, and he saw the ice beneath the lotus, an idea forming in his mind.

Whoosh!

In that instant, it was as if the primordial blue lotus sensed Qin Zheng's intention, and as it swayed lightly, it emanated an even brighter glow.

At the same time, an invisible force appeared again, far surpassing the previous two, and it burst out of the cold spring, filling the entire cave.

Boom!

The cave began to tremble.

Even the three humans and one demon outside the cold spring felt the pressure of this invisible force.

Then, in everyone's gaze, they saw the blue lotus transform into a blue glow and instantly rush into the human's body.

The oppressive feeling that permeated the entire cave suddenly dissipated without a trace.

Huff!

The tiger-headed demon let out a heavy breath, as if releasing the pressure that had weighed on his mind.

He then turned his head towards the middle-aged man who had also taken action earlier, and said coldly, "Liu Huaiyi, you've been hiding your strength!"

During the earlier struggle, the man's aura had surpassed his in an instant!

This proved that the man was indeed stronger than him.

The middle-aged man's expression was indifferent, a stark contrast to his previous image. He replied indifferently, "This human is no ordinary one. Let's split it sixty-forty, sixty for me and forty for you."

"You?!"

The tiger-headed demon's face instantly turned ferocious.

But after seeing the middle-aged man's indifferent gaze, and recalling the Primordial Divine Artifact, he surprisingly fell silent.

"Alright."

He agreed without hesitation.

Upon hearing this, a hint of ridicule flashed in the middle-aged man's indifferent eyes.

However, he didn't say more and instead turned his gaze towards the figure in the center of the cold spring.

"Then let's begin."

As he extended his hands, surging thunderous power emerged, and his aura rose once again.

The tiger-headed demon also shifted his gaze, and as his body twisted, he transformed into a colorful ferocious tiger, his demon aura surging.

Neither the man nor the demon paid any attention to Qin Zheng.

Their earlier setback was not due to Qin Zheng but because of the Primordial Lotus.

In their line of sight, Qin Zheng seemed peculiar, unaffected by the repulsion of the Primordial Divine Artifact.

However, his own aura was not strong, only at the initial stage of the Taiyi Void Realm.

A human at such a level, facing their Taiyi Real Realm strength, was nothing more than an easily disposable existence.

"Wretched human ant!"

"Hand over the divine artifact willingly, or today will be your death!"

The tiger demon slowly strode forward, his voice cold and arrogant.

On the other side, the middle-aged man was enveloped in electric light, resembling a living Thunder God. He cautiously observed Qin Zheng.

There was no response.

Anger flashed in the tiger-headed demon's eyes, and without hesitation, he took a step forward, roaring, "You stubborn ghost, words won't convince you!"

Before he could finish his sentence, the figure that was supposed to be at the center of the cold spring vanished into thin air.

Immediately after, a large hand reached through the void and formed a fist imprint.

What?!

The tiger demon's pupils quivered.

Without waiting for him to react further, the fist imprint slammed down.

Boom!!

A muffled sound reverberated.

The tiger demon's massive head exploded, and his huge body staggered and fell, crashing to the ground.

"Noisy."

At that moment, a calm voice slowly sounded.

Amidst the swirling smoke, a young man in a golden-patterned black robe appeared, holding a demon core in his hand as he walked out.

The middle-aged man, enveloped in lightning, like a living Thunder God, suddenly restrained his aura.

Shock and fear flashed in his eyes, and on his face was a look of relief as he spoke, "Indeed, you are worthy of being a human..."

Swish!

Qin Zheng suddenly appeared before him, his large hand reaching out to grasp the man's head as he spoke coldly,

"What kind of human are you?"

The middle-aged man's gaze intensified.

The next instant—

Boom!!

Before the man could finish his sentence, Qin Zheng abruptly exerted force, crushing his head.

Immediately after, Qin Zheng reached out, and dozens of Immortal Slaying Sword Auras appeared within the cave, ready to throw the man's remains into the sky.

The dozens of Immortal Slaying Sword Auras surged out like hungry wolves, instantly obliterating the middle-aged man's body into ashes.

These two cultivators, having reached the peak of the Taiyi Real Realm, might have been formidable opponents for others.

But for Qin Zheng, they were nothing more than existences that could be eliminated with a wave of his hand.

Standing by and observing everything from the side of the cave, Yao Xi's pale face was filled with shock.

The man's aura was merely that of an insignificant Taiyi Void Realm cultivator, like a disposable pawn in the Heavens Palace fragment.

Yet, not only had he gained the approval of the Primordial Divine Artifact, but he could also defeat a cultivator at the peak of the Taiyi Real Realm!

Such a heavenly genius must have come from a transcendent power in the upper realms!

She had been born with exceptional talent, and in just a few tens of thousands of years, she had reached the Taiyi Real Realm.

But now, standing before this youth, she felt a sense of inferiority.

However, when Qin Zheng's gaze fell upon her, she gritted her teeth and spoke, "Fellow Daoist!"

"When my junior sister sought the Primordial Divine Artifact, she suffered a backlash injury. May I ask for a lotus seed to treat her injuries?"

"My junior sister and I have a deep bond, and seeing her in danger, I must find a way to save her."

Qin Zheng calmly replied, "Sure."

Yao Xi's expression instantly brightened.

But the next moment, Qin Zheng's voice sounded in her ear again, "What are you offering in exchange?"

Yao Xi's expression froze.

"I...I..."

She was momentarily at a loss for words.

After all, the Blue Lotus was a Primordial Divine Artifact, and even a single lotus seed was a priceless treasure.

Their strength wasn't particularly strong, so even though they had entered this fragment of the Heavenly Palace, they dared not venture into the areas of great opportunity, only daring to explore the outer mountain ranges.

So, where could they find treasures of equal value to offer?

She spoke up anxiously, "I don't have any treasures of equal value on me at the moment."

"But if you give me a lotus seed, all the opportunities we find in this fragment of the Heavenly Palace will be yours!"

Qin Zheng didn't hesitate for a moment and turned to leave.

Was this a joke?

The Blue Lotus was a Primordial Divine Artifact! A single lotus seed could grant a person the power of the Great Dharmaraja in a short time, as long as they could bear the cost. Was he trying to get something for nothing?

Qin Zheng had agreed because when he entered earlier, the other party had warned him of the danger.

This proved that the other party's nature wasn't bad, and as fellow humans surrounded by demons, he would help within his ability.

Anyway, there were plenty of lotus seeds, and it would be good to find treasures of equal value in exchange.

But if he wanted it with just a promise, then he could only apologize.

Seeing Qin Zheng leave directly, Yao Xi's eyes instantly turned red, and her expression became more anxious.

Her senior sister had first detonated the Palace Guarding Artifact and then forcefully attacked, suffering backlash from the Primordial Lotus.

Under the combined damage, if there wasn't a sufficiently powerful treasure to save her, she might not live past half an hour!

So, she took a step forward and appeared in front of Qin Zheng, blocking his path. "You must give me a lotus seed!"

Her tone was firm, as if she would take action if Qin Zheng didn't comply.

Qin Zheng narrowed his eyes, and his voice turned cold, "Are you going to fight me?"

Hearing this, Yao Xi was stunned, and her face showed a hint of panic.

It wasn't because she feared the young man before her, but because at this moment, her actions were like those of the person she despised the most.

In her red eyes, crystal-clear tears fell.

"Yes!"

But she still responded fiercely, reaching out to take out her Palace Guarding Artifact, preparing to detonate it.

But the next moment, her Palace Guarding Artifact disappeared from her hand and appeared in the hands of the young man across from her.

"Huh?"

Yao Xi exclaimed in surprise.

Qin Zheng looked at the woman before him in disbelief. They were both Taiyi-level experts, and she was crying?

Although she was foolish and her methods were somewhat despicable, her heart wasn't inherently bad.

Qin Zheng snapped his fingers, and a strand of Black Flame instantly fell to the ground, landing on the unconscious Ding Ning.

Boom! The Black Flame instantly expanded!

"You?!"

Yao Xi panicked.

"Send her to a place with abundant vitality, and this Black Flame will preserve her life."

Qin Zheng responded coldly.

Under the burning Black Flame, Ding Ning's fading breath stabilized.

Seeing this, Yao Xi's expression gradually relaxed, and then joy appeared.

"Thank you..."

She was about to express her gratitude.

Qin Zheng spoke calmly, "According to what you said earlier, all the opportunities you find in this fragment of the Heavenly Palace are mine."

"If you break your promise, I will personally come to take your lives."

He reached out, grabbed a strand of Yao Xi's breath, and took a step forward, leaving the cave.

This place should be a storage area for divine artifacts, and when he scanned it earlier, he saw only the Blue Lotus and no other treasures.

When he left the cave, outside, Su Yang was covered in blood, holding a Crimson Longsword.

In front of him, seventeen Demon Race heads were neatly arranged.

Qin Zheng raised his eyebrows slightly.

Seeing Qin Zheng emerge, Su Yang turned and respectfully handed the Crimson Longsword to Qin Zheng, saying, "Su Yang thanks the senior for his assistance!"

Qin Zheng shook his head and replied, "You keep it for now."

Su Yang wasn't strong, and his ability to slay these Great Demons was entirely due to the Divine Slaying Sword Aura Qin Zheng had given him.

Then, Qin Zheng pondered for a moment and said, "I've gained some insights and want to attempt a breakthrough in seclusion. You can find me when you need me."

Now that the Primordial Golden Seal was in his possession, the Majestic Dao Palace naturally had the Jade Will and the Sword Intent of Immortal Slaying as Palace Guarding Artifacts.

Qin Zheng intended to break through to the Great Demon Realm in one go and then continue refining the Dharmaraja Blood to see if he could advance further.

After improving his strength, he would go after the two Taiyi Spirit Realm demons from the Demon Abyss!

Hearing this, Su Yang didn't say much and nodded directly, "Yes!"
