Chapter 432: A Clearer Truth
Chapter 432: A Clearer Truth
"Ling Shan?" Qin Zheng's eyes narrowed slightly.
Pei Qinhu nodded gently, but then he smiled and continued, "It's just a glimmer of hope."
"Before the Grand Dao, even a step can be an endless distance. No one dares to claim enlightenment until they have fully attained it."
After saying this, he immediately changed the topic and turned to Qin Zheng, asking, "May I ask, where did you come from in the Vast Continent?"
Pei Qinhu's eyes sparkled with brilliance.
Qin Zheng raised his eyes to meet his gaze without hesitation, and after a few breaths, he spoke, "One of the Thirty-Six Heavens, Yuan Tong Yuan Cavern Heaven."
A gust of wind suddenly blew through the room, causing the tea in front of Qin Zheng to ripple and the fragrant steam to spread in all directions.
But this gust of wind was fleeting, and the room soon returned to its peaceful state.
Pei Qinhu fell silent for a few moments before lifting his head again with a slight smile, "I apologize for my momentary loss of composure, please forgive me, fellow Daoist."
Without waiting for Qin Zheng's response, he continued with a slightly solemn expression, "May I inquire, fellow Daoist..."
"What is the situation with the Thirty-Six Heavens now?"
His voice carried a hint of gravity, and his eyes concealed a glimmer of hope, along with a hint of tension and excitement.
But at this moment, Qin Zheng's eyes sank slightly, and he directly asked in return, "Isn't this one of the Thirty-Six Heavens?"
He had thought that this place was outside of Yuan Cavern Heaven, another heaven within the Thirty-Six Heavens.
However, it was evident from Pei Qinhu's words that this place was not one of the Thirty-Six Heavens!
Hearing this, Pei Qinhu sighed and shook his head, then said, "This realm is called the Vast Continent, a realm beyond the Thirty-Six Heavens."
It was as if his hopes had been dashed, and his expression carried a hint of melancholy.
Qin Zheng's expression became slightly solemn, and he began to ponder in his heart.
The so-called Thirty-Six Heavens was, in fact, a complete realm.
The Upper Nine Heavens was the abode of Celestial Deities, the Lower Nine Underworlds was the residence of demons and monsters, and the Eighteen Heavens in between were where countless sentient beings dwelled.
Leaving the Thirty-Six Heavens meant departing from a complete realm.
Based on previous experiences, only by attaining Great Dharmaraja could one transcend their own realm within the Thirty-Six Heavens.
The requirements to leave the Thirty-Six Heavens would undoubtedly be even more stringent, and only formidable figures of Chaos Origin rank could possibly achieve it!
Moreover, Pei Qinhu had just mentioned that the Chaos Origin rank of this realm had all descended from outside the heavens.
An answer was on the tip of his tongue.
After the Great Battle of the Nine Heavens, there were Celestial Deities, the Demon Race, and the Buddhist Sect, all of whom were powerhouses that had escaped from the Thirty-Six Heavens!
But what was the reason that made these Chaos Origin figures willing to pay the price of slumber just to leave the Thirty-Six Heavens? Even the Daoist Master Daoxingsky, one of the Twelve Jade Purity Immortals, had to leave.
At this moment, Qin Zheng suddenly recalled the scene he had witnessed during his first attempt to refine the Jade Purity Statue—a blood-stained Daoist temple breaking through chaos, revealing a corner within Qin Zheng's line of sight.
That Daoist temple was the Jade Void Palace.
Thinking back, he wondered if the figure in the Jade Void Palace had also left the Thirty-Six Heavens?
But who in the Thirty-Six Heavens could have driven away such a figure? And who could have shattered the Heavenly Providence Yellow Crystal Pagoda, the first line of defense?
Various thoughts flooded his mind, and the great battle of the Nine Heavens from years ago once again filled Qin Zheng's heart with doubts.
At this moment, Pei Qinhu's voice sounded again, "What is the situation in the Yuan Tong Primordial Cavern Heaven where you are from?"
Qin Zheng's thoughts returned to the present, and he slowly replied, "Immortals missing, the heavens sealed, and the strongest are the Great Transcendent Golden Numbers."
After speaking, he didn't hesitate and immediately asked, "Do you know what happened within the Thirty-Six Heavens back then?"
"What was the reason for the great battle in the Nine Heavens, and what is the truth behind the current situation?"
After asking this, Qin Zheng's gaze fixed intently on the blue-robed man before him.
At this moment, his heart trembled, as if he was about to touch the truth he had been seeking.
However, upon hearing Pei Qinhu's words, he didn't hesitate and directly shook his head.
"I'm not from the Thirty-Six Heavens, and my teacher never told me the specific details of that great change."
"But before my teacher fell into a deep sleep, he couldn't stop thinking about the Thirty-Six Heavens, so I know some of the circumstances."
"If you want to know about that great change, I'm afraid you'll have to wait until my teacher wakes up and ask him personally."
"However..."
"My teacher often looks beyond the vast continent, murmuring two words."
Qin Zheng's eyes narrowed, and he immediately asked, "What two words?"
Pei Qinhu's expression became solemn, and he said, "Heavenly Emperor!"
Boom! A thunderous shock reverberated in his heart.
The Heavenly Emperor?! The ruler of the Nine Heavens Immortal Court, one of the few supreme figures at the pinnacle of the Thirty-Six Heavens!
What connection did this great figure have with the great battle, and why did the Daoxingsky Venerable keep thinking about him?
Could it be that the battle that swept through the Thirty-Six Heavens was initiated by this very person?
With this thought, Qin Zheng quickly asked, "Do you clearly remember the tone of the Venerable when he said the words 'Heavenly Emperor'?"
Pei Qinhu shook his head lightly and replied, "My teacher is a Chaos Origin powerhouse who governs one of the Primordial Ways of the Heavens."
"Even I can't fathom the tone of his speech."
Qin Zheng nodded slightly.
Although the truth about the great battle in the Nine Heavens was still hazy, he had obtained two useful pieces of information.
Firstly, not all Immortals had disappeared; some had left the Thirty-Six Heavens and gone to the outside world.
Secondly, the great battle back then was highly likely related to the Heavenly Emperor who ruled over the Celestial Court!
He organized this information in his mind, and after a moment, he raised his head and looked at the blue-robed man again, speaking calmly,
"Why did you throw out a Chaos Origin treasure and even start a conflict with the Demonic Court to save me?"
Qin Zheng didn't think that the words 'Jade Void Lineage' would be enough to make someone discard a Chaos Origin treasure and even clash with the Demonic Court.
Moreover, the Holy Monk of the Holy Mountain Buddhism, who had endured a bitter journey, had also inquired about the Jade Void Palace and confirmed that it had nothing to do with him.
The change in attitude was likely due to noticing him and changing their mind.
After hearing Pei Qinhu's words, he paused, and his expression turned solemn as he looked at Qin Zheng and replied directly,
"If I haven't guessed wrong, you should possess the founder's Dharma treasure!"
"I dare to ask to borrow the founder's Dharma treasure from you, friend. May I have your agreement?"
