Chapter 412: The Art of Virtue, Ascending to the Great Dao!

Chapter 412: The Art of Virtue, Ascending to the Great Dao!

A dazzling golden light illuminates the Heartsea.

A heavy scroll slowly unfurls.

The Art of Virtue: Traversing the Multiverse

Note: The Multiverse is boundless, with countless Grand Realms. The Art of Virtue allows one to traverse the Multiverse!

The first thing that caught Qin Zheng's attention were the two lines of fresh and powerful calligraphy.

The Art of Virtue?!

Qin Zheng's spirit stirred slightly, and according to his original expectations, he thought that this transformation might be related to the level of virtue.

For example, the previous transformation resulted in the manifestation of Innate Virtue.

But the appearance of the Art of Virtue now is equivalent to the emergence of a new ability!

The ability of the Virtue Scroll is no longer limited to refinement and enhancement; it can also traverse the Multiverse!

As this thought crossed Qin Zheng's mind, his spirit focused intently on the four characters, 'The Art of Virtue.'

The most crucial aspect is not the new ability, 'Traversing the Multiverse,' but its placement after 'The Art of Virtue.'

This implies that this new ability is just one aspect of 'The Art of Virtue,' and in the future, other abilities may also emerge!

The reason for the change in the Virtue Scroll, adding the Art of Virtue, should be the Unknown Essence Qi that transformed after the purification of the Polluted Qi! With this realization, Qin Zheng no longer felt aversion or disgust towards the Polluted Qi.

What is poison to others is a treasure to him, capable of transforming the Virtue Scroll and bringing about new abilities!

If he could obtain more of it, allowing the Virtue Scroll to transform and manifest new abilities, it might accelerate his advancement!

As thoughts flooded his mind, Qin Zheng didn't dwell on 'Traversing the Multiverse' but shifted his gaze to observe any other changes.

Current.

.

There was no change in the Acquired Virtue section, and no other changes were observed.

Qin Zheng's expression remained calm, and then with a thought, a fragment of a divine artifact appeared in his hand.

Vibrant!

The Virtue Scroll trembled slightly, and new lines of calligraphy emerged.

Discovered Item: Heaven Earth Yellow Crystal Pagoda (Fragment), can be refined, requires 10,000 strands of Innate Virtue, refine?

Note: Can consume virtue, activate the Art of Virtue, traverse the Multiverse, and travel to other realms where the fragments are located!

Heaven Earth Yellow Crystal Pagoda!

Qin Zheng's spirit focused, then he withdrew his gaze, returning to reality, and gently caressed the divine artifact fragment in his hand.

This fragment, shattered beyond recognition, was once known as the ultimate treasure that ensured victory upon deployment. What kind of battle, what level of attack, could have shattered this treasure into such a state?

At this moment, Qin Zheng's mind flashed back to the scene he witnessed in his Heartsea when he refined the Jade Purity Divine Statue for the first time.

In the dim and desolate void, a Heavenly Palace Temple floated, stained with blood.

At the time, he thought it was just a trick of the eye, and he didn't see clearly.

But now it seems that his initial impression might not have been wrong!

Qin Zheng's mind raced as he caressed the pagoda fragment, and he silently recited, "Refine!"

Vibrant!

The Virtue Scroll trembled slightly, and a mysterious force descended.

Qin Zheng immediately felt a connection with the pagoda fragment in his hand, like an extension of his body, as natural as moving his fingers.

Without hesitation, Qin Zheng stored the pagoda fragment in the Dao Palace and began refining the divine artifact fragment into a palace-guarding treasure.

As the Path of Dao Tree trembled, its leaves quickly fell, transforming into talismans that covered the pagoda fragment.

During this time, Qin Zheng also allocated a strand of his spirit to look at the 'Traversing the Multiverse' technique of the Art of Virtue.

According to the Virtue Scroll, the pagoda fragments are not only in the Primordial Cave Heaven but are scattered across various realms.

The 'Traversing the Multiverse' technique of the Art of Virtue allows him to travel to other realms where the fragments are located.

If that's the case, can I take this opportunity to leave the Primordial Cavern Heaven and go to other realms?

But would this attract the attention of the being outside the Primordial Cavern Heaven?

Relying on the nature of the Virtue Scroll, Qin Zheng faintly felt that he could deceive the existence outside the Primordial Cavern Heaven.

However, this was just his feeling.

Qin Zheng raised his right hand, and his five fingers formed a gesture as he began to use Tortoise Shell Divination to deduce whether there was any danger in traversing the multiverse.

After a few breaths, Qin Zheng lowered his right hand, but the deduction result was hazy and unclear, so he could only temporarily give up.

But there's no rush!

I'm only a Supreme Taiyi, and the resources within the Primordial Cavern Heaven are still sufficient to support my promotion.

After refining the pagoda fragment and perfecting the Dao Palace, I'll consider leaving the Primordial Cavern Heaven.

Qin Zheng suppressed his somewhat impatient mood, gathered his mind, and completely immersed himself in the refinement of the Divine Treasure.

Inner World.

Vast Starry Sky.

The Primordial Major Realm shines like a bright sun, surrounded by small realms like grains of sand in the stars.

Liu Xuanqing's figure emerged from the starry sky and stepped into the Primordial Major Realm.

In front of a tall mountain pavilion.

"Master, Uncle-Master."

Liu Xuanqing respectfully addressed the two figures in the pavilion and then stepped inside.

At this moment, the two figures in the pavilion were none other than the other two Grand Transcendants of the Primordial Immortal Sect.

Qi Yan Zong and Xu Yang.

The two nodded slightly, and after Liu Xuanqing entered the pavilion, Qi Yan Zong slowly spoke, "Did you tell him?"

Liu Xuanqing nodded helplessly, "That boy's killing intent towards the demon race is astonishing. I've already reminded him."

Qi Yan Zong calmly said, "Excessive killing intent clouds the mind, making it difficult to perceive reality and even harder to pursue the Great Dao."

"Stopping his path of killing might make him even stronger."

Liu Xuanqing nodded in agreement. This was a belief he had always held, and he had previously transmitted this idea to Qin Zheng.

Xu Yang suddenly spoke up, "Instead of blocking, letting him kill all the demons might make him progress faster."

Liu Xuanqing's eyebrows slightly raised.

Qi Yan Zong didn't argue. After a few calm breaths, he spoke again, "If stopping the killing is useless, then let him continue."

After saying this, he turned his gaze outside the pavilion. His calm and gentle eyes reflected the entire Primordial Major Realm.

"Before the great battle of the Ninecious Heavens, the spiritual energy in a corner of the Qionglae Grand Realm was enough to nurture and support the entire Primordial Immortal Sect."

"Now that the number of powerful beings has decreased significantly, we still need the combined spiritual energy of a Grand Realm to barely sustain it."

"That existence outside the Primordial Cavern Heaven is probably toying with us, wanting to lock us in this prison!"

Qi Yan Zong's voice was calm, as if he were describing a trivial everyday occurrence.

Xu Yang remained silent, feeling that his essence, energy, and spirit had weakened, and his aging appearance became more apparent.

Liu Xuanqing's eyes seemed to be shrouded in a layer of gloom.

After a few silent breaths.

Liu Xuanqing spoke again, "With the decay of Heaven and Earth, even a Grand Transcendent Golden Number like Master can't do anything. Can he succeed?"

Xu Yang also looked at his senior brother.

Qi Yan Zong pondered for a few breaths and then shook his head, "I don't know, but..."

"I can't attain Chaos Origin!"

This simple statement gave Xu Yang and Liu Xuanqing the most direct answer.

"Failed?"

Xu Yang asked first.

Qi Yan Zong nodded calmly and then didn't dwell on the issue. Instead, he said, "Qin Zheng has great fortune."

"Although the Immortal Slaying Sword has lost its Sword Intent, it's still a genuine Primordial Divine Artifact, unattainable by those without great fortune."

"Moreover, without our intervention, he obtained the Jade Purity inheritance, which proves his abundant fortune."

"He's the variable in the Primordial Cavern Heaven. Since I can't attain Chaos Origin, I can only place my hopes on this variable."

A Grand Transcendent Golden Number, at this moment, could only entrust his fate to Qin Zheng's abundant fortune.

Upon hearing this, Liu Xuanqing and Xu Yang's hearts were filled with complex emotions, and they didn't say anything more.

As the strongest members of the Primordial Immortal Sect and the inheritors of the Jade Purity lineage, Qi Yan Zong had been attempting to attain Dao since the great change years ago.

Now, after more than three million years, he still hadn't glimpsed the Great Dao, and his heart was filled with even more complex and sorrowful emotions.

"Right."

Qi Yan Zong spoke again.

The two Grand Transcendants looked at him.

Qi Yan Zong's eyes reflected deep thoughts as he slowly said, "Attaining Great Transcendent will bring about the Great Dharmaraja Tribulation."

"That kid has already opened the Divine Treasury and completed the most difficult step of Ascension to Great Transcendent. He just needs to perfect his Dao Palace and he can Ascend."

"Perhaps he'll Ascend soon, we should pay attention to him."

Liu Xuanqing was perplexed. "That kid's combat strength is astonishing. But in the Supreme Taiyi Realm, he could slay a Great Dharmaraja Rank. How could he still encounter a Great Dharmaraja Tribulation he can't handle?"

Xu Yang's eyebrows furrowed slightly, as if he had thought of something.

Qi Yan Zong spoke slowly, "It's not just us who can see this. Qin Zheng carries great fortune."

"Ascension to Great Transcendent is the Posterior defying the Innate. When his foundation undergoes transformation during Ascension, if he's killed during the process, the one who strikes will inherit a portion of his fortune!"

"Now that everyone is locked up, there might be someone who gets this idea and takes the risk."

"When the time comes, just watch over the Outer World. As long as no Great Dharmaraja Rank or Mystic Numbers interfere, it'll be fine."

"The Great Transcendent Golden Numbers, I'll handle them."

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Xuanqing and Xu Yang nodded.

Qi Yan Zong's thoughts represented the will of the entire Primordial Immortal Sect.

Now that their opponent had made a choice, they could only listen and follow.

Qionglae Grand Realm, Demon Ruin Land.

Time passed, and no one knew how long it had been.

Qin Zheng slowly opened his eyes, his gaze calm and deep, like an ordinary person.

But the moment he opened his eyes, the gentle breeze stopped, the flowing clouds paused, and the entire universe seemed to freeze, enveloped in silence.

"Is it done?"

At that moment, a voice broke the silence, and the stagnant universe began to flow again.

Qin Zheng turned to his avatar and nodded slightly, "It's done."

The time spent refining this last Primordial Divine Artifact was more than the previous two combined.

The avatar's expression remained calm, showing no joy or sorrow, and he slowly extended his right hand, above which lightning radiance surged.

"After consuming the six Great Transcendent Remains, that severed finger has grown to the size of a palm."

The avatar spoke slowly, a rare seriousness in his tone, "And some memories have been restored as well."

Qin Zheng narrowed his eyes, also extending his palm to touch the avatar's.

Hua!!

In an instant, a series of images flooded his mind.

The Ninecious Heavens, the human and demon races, countless immortal deities, a chaotic battle, mountains of corpses and seas of blood, the collapse of the Great Dao! These memories were jumbled and chaotic, not a coherent sequence of scenes.

But from these memories, Qin Zheng learned one crucial thing.

The great war on the Ninecious Heavens was not an invasion from beyond the universe, but a three-way battle among humans, demons, and divine beings!

So the war between humans and demons had not truly ended, and the conflict had spread to the Ninecious Heavens?

What could have caused the eruption of this three-way war among humans, demons, and divine beings? Could it be because of the Polluted Qi?

That substance was treated with the same solemnity as the Virtue Scroll, so it must be extremely dangerous.

But among the humans, demons, and divine beings, if any side was polluted, they would undoubtedly be purified.

Only one possibility could trigger a three-way war.

That is the Great Transcendent, a Chaos Origin being, when polluted, would not become a monster like the Nine Sun Sect's Sect Master.

Instead, they would maintain their appearance and sanity, but their inner selves would be corrupted and fallen.

So, with deliberate manipulation, the war among humans, demons, and divine beings was incited. The truth seemed to unfold before their eyes.

But Qin Zheng didn't feel relieved; instead, he felt an unprecedented gravity.

If his conjecture was correct and even Chaos Origin beings could be polluted, then how powerful was this Polluted Qi?

If he encountered it, even with the Virtue Scroll by his side, he could use merit to purify it.

But if his merit was insufficient, he might also be polluted.

Therefore, he must...

Accumulate Merit!

Only with sufficient merit would he have the confidence to face this challenge!

And to accumulate enough merit, he needed formidable strength! As Qin Zheng's thoughts reached this point, his mind slowly returned from the flood of memories.

"What are your thoughts?" the avatar asked.

Qin Zheng responded calmly, "The future is unclear, and I can't explain it. I can only grasp the present with all my might!"

As he spoke, he slowly stood up, and his aura began to rapidly rise.

Boom!

The winds and clouds stirred, thunder roared. Qin Zheng ascended, his radiance intensifying, and he shouted,

"Ascension to Great Transcendent, today!"
