Chapter 411: Primordial Immortal Sect's Intervention, Liu Xuanqing's Warning!

The atmosphere froze at this moment.

Qin Zheng calmly observed the more than ten distorted shadows in the starry sky before him.

In his past understanding, the Great Dharmaraja should represent mystery and power, as this realm was a true transformation.

Acquired defying Innate, this was a leap in the very essence of life!

Different from previous promotions, even the Virtue Scroll had the evaluation of [Great Dharmaraja, difficult to attain, Innate, hard to seek].

Beings that reach this realm should be unimaginably powerful in all aspects.

Whether it's combat strength or mental fortitude!

But now, after encountering them, Qin Zheng realized that the so-called Great Dharmaraja was just a more powerful life form!

They also possessed greed, arrogance, shamelessness, and other qualities, no different from the humans and demons he had encountered before.

Even after attacking him, they didn't make any prior arrangements around the Great Dharmaraja's incarnation.

This was why Qin Zheng dared to kill that Great Dharmaraja and stand in the starry sky, confronting them.

Such actions were either due to other reasons or sheer stupidity!

So when the mist covering the Great Dharmaraja dissipated, the image of mystery and greatness vanished.

Qin Zheng no longer felt awe for these powerful beings.

After several moments of silence, Qin Zheng's eyes flashed, and he calmly spoke, "Are you unable to come out, or are you afraid to come out?"

Even now, those colossal shadows were still projecting themselves through the distorted starry sky, without physically descending.

Even in the Demon Ruins, the figures surrounding Qin Zheng's avatar at this moment were all Great Dharmaraja Transcendent Mystic Numbers, and not a single Great Dharmaraja Mystic Numbers!

"Hmph!"

After Qin Zheng's words, Six Paths Immortal Sovereign's cold snort immediately sounded, but there were no further actions.

The other shadows remained silent, not responding.

It wasn't until a moment later that a calm voice sounded, "Let's end this farce. Do you really want to destroy this realm over a sword?"

As the voice echoed, the starry sky rippled, and among the more than ten shadows, one suddenly created ripples.

Then, an old man in a jade-white robe stepped out and landed a hundred zhang away from Qin Zheng.

"Old Daoist, Qi Yan Zong."

He nodded slightly at Qin Zheng, his eyes pure and gentle, like a newborn baby, untainted by the dust of the world.

"Qin Zheng."

Qin Zheng nodded in response.

The old man's sudden appearance somewhat shattered his speculation, and Qin Zheng's avatar tensed up.

The old man's gaze also fell upon Qin Zheng, and he calmly spoke, "Fellow Daoists, please return."

His voice was peaceful and serene, as if devoid of any worldly emotions.

The Great Dharmarajas surrounding Qin Zheng's avatar nodded and left without hesitation.

After they left, the old man's gaze swept over Qin Zheng's avatar and then withdrew, settling on Qin Zheng.

"Rest assured, young friend. The Immortal Slaying Sword, as an Innate Supreme Treasure, will go to those with fate. We won't interfere anymore."

Without waiting for Qin Zheng's response, the old man turned and faced the more than ten colossal shadows in the starry sky.

"What do the fellow Daoists think?"

He spoke calmly again.

"Hmph! Aside from the Immortal Slaying Sword, he killed a Great Dharmaraja Transcendent Mystic Number of my Six Paths Immortal Sect. How will this matter be resolved?"

Six Paths Immortal Sovereign responded coldly.

Qi Yan Zong's expression remained calm as he slowly spoke, "One Creation Fruit, Primordial Immortal Sect will compensate your Six Paths Immortal Sect."

Six Paths Immortal Sovereign paused slightly, then scoffed and continued, "One Creation Fruit can't compensate for a Great Dharmaraja Transcendent Mystic Number's life."

Qi Yan Zong calmly said,

"Two."

Six Paths Immortal Sovereign remained silent.

"Three."

Six Paths Immortal Sovereign still didn't agree.

Qi Yan Zong narrowed his eyes, about to increase the offer when a voice suddenly sounded.

"If you don't agree, do you really want that young man to invoke a calamity, causing everyone's downfall?"

"Or do you want your true self to descend and take action personally?"

This voice belonged to the one who spoke first, the being known as Cloud Mountain Immortal Sovereign.

Qi Yan Zong didn't increase the offer further but fixed his gaze on Six Paths Immortal Sovereign's shadow.

After several moments, Six Paths Immortal Sovereign's shadow coldly snorted in dissatisfaction and then spoke to Qin Zheng,

"You ignorant thing, wait and see who in the Primordial Cavern Heaven can still tolerate you!"

After speaking, the colossal shadow of Six Paths Immortal Sovereign disappeared into the starry sky as the starry sky distorted.

The other towering figures remained silent, gradually departing.

Only a few figures spoke before leaving, their voices cold as they addressed Qin Zheng, "You, a human, possess the blood-stained aura of our Demon Race. You must have killed many of our kind."

"We warn you, if you continue slaughtering our Demon Race bloodline, don't blame us for taking action!"

After delivering this harsh warning, they too left, leaving behind only one figure standing amidst the starry sky.

"Fellow Daoist, come back quickly."

Yunshan Xianzun's gaze shifted to Qi Yan Zong, and he spoke.

Qi Yan Zong nodded, and Yunshan Xianzun's gaze then fell upon Qin Zheng. He sighed softly and then left without another word.

The anomaly of the Great Deva's fall also dissipated, and at this moment, the universe's starry sky returned to its initial tranquility.

Liu Xuanqing also stepped out of the void, directly approaching the old man and respectfully addressing him, "Master."

Qi Yan Zong nodded, then turned around, his gaze falling upon Qin Zheng. "The Primordial Immortal Sect's lineage is from the Jade Void."

"Why not join our Immortal Sect, young friend?"

His actions were not without purpose. Firstly, he wanted to prevent the situation from worsening, and secondly, he desired to recruit Qin Zheng into the Primordial Immortal Sect.

Upon hearing this, Qin Zheng shook his head slightly and then bowed to the old man, saying, "Thank you, Senior, for your assistance."

"I, Qin, will make up for the losses suffered by the Primordial Immortal Sect."

Liu Xuanqing chuckled and said, "The Creation Fruit is a Divine Artifact of the Primordial Heavens. It takes ten thousand years to form a single fruit, and it's useful even for the Great Deva. How do you plan to compensate?"

After he finished speaking...

Dong! Qi Yan Zong raised his hand and knocked on his head, causing a muffled sound to echo through the starry sky.

"Since it's the Jade Void lineage, we should help each other. How can you reassure me about your intentions?"

Qi Yan Zong furrowed his brows, looking somewhat displeased as he spoke to Liu Xuanqing.

He then turned his gaze back to Qin Zheng and said, "External possessions are but minor matters. Your exceptional talent is what matters. If you join our Primordial Immortal Sect, you will surely ascend to the Great Deva in a short time."

After speaking, he scanned the surrounding starry sky with his eyes and shook his head lightly. "This heaven and earth is too barren. I fear it won't be enough for your ascension."

"I won't force you, but I give you this. If you change your mind, activating it will directly transport you to our Primordial Immortal Sect."

As he spoke, he casually tossed a jade slip to Qin Zheng, which emanated a dense spatial aura.

Qin Zheng accepted it and thanked him again.

Qi Yan Zong waved his hand and spoke, "I can't stay here for long. I'll be on my way."

After saying this, his figure gradually became transparent and vanished into the starry sky.

Qin Zheng watched the direction where the old Daoist had left, holding the jade slip in his hand, his eyes gleaming.

The intervention of the Primordial Immortal Sect was not something he had anticipated, but the outcome was better than he had imagined.

An invisible tribulation dissipated with just a few words, vanishing into nothingness.

After this incident, no one would dare covet the Immortal Slaying Sword in Qin Zheng's possession.

After all, the Primordial Immortal Sect had spent two Creation Fruits to protect him; anyone who dared to challenge them would face their wrath.

Qin Zheng understood that if he had agreed to join the Primordial Immortal Sect when he first met Liu Xuanqing, the current situation might have been avoided.

However, the Inner World was filled with powerful beings, and once entered, one couldn't leave at will, making it impossible to continue accumulating merit.

Without the support of merit, he would have to rely solely on his own cultivation, making the path ahead uncertain and the door to Chaos Origin seemingly distant.

Nevertheless, Qin Zheng had taken note of their assistance and the two Creation Fruits. He would remember this favor.

Gratitude and grudges should be kept separate.

With this thought, Qin Zheng retracted the jade slip and turned his gaze to Liu Xuanqing, who was still there.

"Why aren't you leaving?" Qin Zheng asked.

Liu Xuanqing responded casually, "Leave? They might be afraid, but I'm not."

Qin Zheng's eyebrows raised slightly, and he asked, "What are they afraid of?"

Whether it was the Outer World or the Inner World, both belonged to the Primordial Cavern Heaven.

Why would the beings in the Inner World fear entering the Outer World, and the stronger they were, the greater their fear?

Liu Xuanqing raised his eyebrows at Qin Zheng and said, "You want to know? But why should I tell you?"

Qin Zheng retracted his gaze and stepped out of the starry sky, directly arriving at the depths of the Demon Ruins.

At the Central Divine Mountain.

The avatar had released his hands but remained behind the Great Demon's incarnation, ready to assist at any moment.

As Qin Zheng's figure appeared, the avatar nodded slightly and then calmly sat cross-legged on the spot.

This change, though anticipated by Qin Zheng, still made him keenly aware of his own weakness.

Although he could now, with his Supreme Taiyi Realm, possess the strength to slay a Great Transcendent Rank, there would always be more powerful adversaries, like the Great Transcendent Golden Numbers!

This time, with the presence of the Great Demon's incarnation, he could use it as leverage, forcing those more powerful beings to back down.

But what if, one day, these powerful beings didn't care about mutual destruction and were determined to take him down?

At that moment, would he really have to kill this Great Demon's incarnation, triggering a slaying tribulation and directly destroying an entire realm of living beings? If he did so, what would set him apart from the ruthless villains he had slain along the way? The sins he would bear might even be more severe than all the evil he had eradicated!

Grow stronger!

He needed to strengthen himself quickly!

Only by ascending to the Great Transcendent Realm could he gain greater power.

With his foundation, upon reaching the Great Transcendent Realm, he could unlock the Longevity Treasure and the Heavenly Providence Treasure.

With the addition of the Jade Auspicious Will and the Immortal Slaying Sword, he would undoubtedly possess the strength to slay Supreme Taiyi Mystic Numbers and even contend with the Supreme Taiyi Golden Numbers!

Qin Zheng's eyes flashed with light.

At that moment, ripples appeared in the void, and Liu Xuanqing's figure closely followed.

The avatar suddenly opened its eyes.

Qin Zheng's eyebrows furrowed slightly as he turned to Liu Xuanqing and asked, "Why are you following me again?"

Liu Xuanqing chuckled and said, "Rest assured, my master used two Creation Fruits to save you, I wouldn't harm you."

As he spoke, his gaze shifted to the Great Demon's incarnation, a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

Qin Zheng sighed inwardly.

At that moment, Liu Xuanqing casually said, "They fear the entanglement of cause and effect."

Qin Zheng's eyes narrowed, and he asked, "Entanglement of cause and effect? Weren't they also living in the Outer World, what cause and effect are they afraid of?"

Liu Xuanqing withdrew his gaze, turning to Qin Zheng, and calmly replied, "The past and present are different."

"Otherwise, why would numerous Great Transcendent beings expend their efforts to carve out an Inner World? Do you think they're doing it for fun?"

Qin Zheng asked directly, "What's the difference?"

Liu Xuanqing was about to speak, but he suddenly clamped his mouth shut, shook his head slightly, and said, "I can't tell you."

Without waiting for Qin Zheng to ask further, he continued, "The Great Transcendent beings in the Inner World have split into two factions."

"One faction is still searching for a way out of the Primordial Cavern Heaven, like my Primordial Immortal Sect and the Six Paths Immortal Sect."

"The other faction has given up hope, like the Four Holy Demons."

"You've offended the Six Paths Immortal Sect, and with this Great Demon's incarnation can threaten them, but if you offend the Four Holy Demons, they won't hold back."

"This place is like a cage, and after being locked up for over three million years, some Great Transcendent beings with unstable minds might have gone mad."

Liu Xuanqing's voice was slow, calm, yet filled with emotion.

After finishing, he turned to Qin Zheng and continued, "I don't care about my opinions on humans and demons."

"But I want to tell you, if we don't achieve Chaos Origin, whether it's humans, demons, or us Great Transcendent beings, we will all eventually face annihilation."

"At that time, the things you hold dear will have no meaning!"

"This is my final advice to you!"

After speaking, Liu Xuanqing glanced deeply at Qin Zheng, then stepped into the void and left this realm.

Qin Zheng narrowed his eyes, pondering Liu Xuanqing's words.

The changes in the universe, the fear of cause and effect.

What kind of cause and effect would make even a Great Transcendent Golden Immortal afraid to touch it?

And Liu Xuanqing's warning about the demons.

The Great Transcendent demons in the Inner World have gone mad, and if provoked, they wouldn't care about the slaying tribulation and would directly take action.

No wonder, in the final moments, those few Great Transcendent demons threatened him as they departed.

Qin Zheng's thoughts surged, and suddenly, a sense of fatigue emerged.

What lies beyond the Primordial Cavern Heaven? What is the source of the Nine Heavens Tribulation?

These questions weighed heavily on Qin Zheng's mind, like mountains he had to face despite his powerlessness.

Just as these thoughts crossed his mind—

Vibrant!

His Heartsea trembled abruptly.

A dazzling light instantly appeared!

The Virtue Scroll underwent a transformation!
