Chapter 449: Condensing Virtue Crystals!

Chapter 449: Condensing Virtue Crystals!

Before the Sacred Mountain, all was silent.

The figure in the golden-runed robe, though already departed, was etched vividly in the hearts of every powerful being.

A lone figure ascending to the apex, subjugating the Buddhist Monastery, dominating the Demon Court, slaying the Buddha, annihilating the Demon Lord, and seizing the Primordial Essence of both factions!

Such acts were brimming with dominance! In all four directions, the gazes fixed on this place became increasingly complex, wishing they could take the place of the one who had done this.

However, every powerful being knew that what had just happened wasn't due to the weakness of the Sacred Mountain and the Demon Court, but rather the overwhelming strength of the figure in the golden-runed robe.

If it were them, they might not even need the Buddhist Monastery and the Demon Court to use their Primordial Essence; they could directly defeat them! As these thoughts surged, the powerful beings on the vast continent increasingly felt the terror of the figure in the golden-runed robe.

Especially the Heavenly Immortals!

After speculating that the Forty-Nine Level Golden Pagoda might be the legendary Heaven Earth Jade Tower, and sensing the sword intent of All Immortals Annihilating Buddha, they had another conjecture.

Immortal Slayer Sword!

This terrifying sword intent, capable of annihilating everything, was very likely one of the four Immortal Slayer Swords in the legends.

As they thought of this, the Immortals who had narrowly escaped from the thirty-third heaven trembled with fear.

The Jade Purity Lineage's foundation!

The Upper Purity Lineage's Immortal Slayer Sword!

The Supreme Purity Lineage's Heaven Earth Jade Tower!

The heritage of the Three Pure Ones, gathered in one person!

Such terrifying foundation and background, who on this vast continent could be this person's match?

Not to mention under the Primordials, even those slumbering Primordials, upon seeing this person's foundation, would tremble in their hearts!

At this moment, thoughts surged from all sides, and the area outside the Sacred Mountain remained silent.

Until a moment later.

"Amitabha."

A slightly heavy Buddhist chant echoed from the depths of the Sacred Mountain, followed by an invisible force spreading, and the land of the Sacred Mountain slowly disappeared between heaven and earth.

Even though a Buddha of Complete Eighth Stage Divine Treasury had fallen at their doorstep, and a Divine Artifact with Primordial techniques had been lost.

But these monks, who had always been above, still had no intention of investigating. Instead, they chose to remain silent and fade away.

This sudden battle ended with the retreat of the Sacred Mountain and the Demon Court.

And after witnessing this, Pei Qinhu, holding the Demon Subjugating Mace outside the Sacred Mountain, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Qin Zheng's foundation and strength indeed far exceeded his expectations.

However, the foundation of the Spirit Mountain Buddhist Monastery was not just a Zen staff containing Primordial techniques.

What he feared most was whether there was a Primordial figure secretly revived within the Buddhist Monastery.

Fortunately, the Spirit Mountain's choice to retreat meant his concerns did not come true, and the Primordial figure of the Buddhist Monastery had not revived prematurely.

If that were the case, before the Primordials could revive, there would be no match for Qin Zheng!

This also meant that the journey to the Sea of Rules should not encounter any further problems!

Pei Qinhu quickly calmed his mind, his gaze sweeping over the Jade Void Lineage disciples still in awe, and then looking at the youth in the green robe, who appeared like a scholar.

"I, Pei Qinhu of the Jade Void Palace, am grateful to Ye Daoyou. In the future, if the Immortal Dynasty has any requests, the Jade Void Palace will not stand idly by!"

Pei Qinhu bowed.

Although both of them had chosen to retreat and leave at the last moment due to Qin Zheng's mental transmission, the Immortal Dynasty's leader before them had dared to step out of the Human territory, risking offending the Demon Court and the Buddhist Monastery.

This favor must be remembered.

Moreover, looking at the human youth before him, whose aura was calm and composed, without revealing his foundation, Pei Qinhu's heart was also filled with surging emotions.

Although the Human Immortal Dynasty stood alongside the Heavenly Immortals, the Spirit Mountain Buddhist Monastery, and the Endless Demon Court, it lacked a Primordial figure, and thus, it did not possess the Primordial Essence like the others.

Therefore, among the four powerful auras that had stirred up the vast continent, three were relying on the foundation left behind by Primordial figures.

Only the one before them had achieved a strength comparable to those backed by Primordial Essence, relying solely on his abilities.

Such strength was beyond what a Complete Eighth Stage Dharmaraja could achieve!

The leader of the Immortal Dynasty before them had either touched the most mysterious Great Dharmaraja Treasury or had already comprehended the Great Way, just one step away from directly attaining enlightenment and becoming a Primordial!

Whichever the reason, it proved that the person before them would be the closest existence to the Primordials on the vast continent!

After not taking action for millions of years, his first move revealed such a foundation and strength that even Pei Qinhu could only look up to. No wonder he could establish the Immortal Dynasty and protect the humans.

Unfortunately, by revealing his true strength this time, he would undoubtedly attract the vigilance and defense of other factions.

When those slumbering Primordial heavyweights awaken, they would likely make their move first, aiming to suppress him before he could attain enlightenment.

After all, in the Primordial era three thousand years later, there would only be three Primordial seats, not enough to go around for the Primordial figures, let alone for a Great Transcendent with potential threats.

Upon this realization, Pei Qinhu's heart was filled with mixed emotions, both admiration and regret.

Hearing this, Ye Tianxin smiled gently and waved his hand lightly, "There's no need for such formality, Pei Daoyou. I came here only to lend a helping hand to Qin Daoyou."

"I just didn't expect that Qin Daoyou's strength would far surpass my imagination, and so I couldn't do much. I feel ashamed."

"If you have time in the future, you and the others from Jade Void Palace are welcome to visit our Human Immortal Dynasty. Ye Mou will ensure a warm reception!"

After speaking, he also bowed in return to Pei Qinhu, then without hesitation, he took a step and instantly crossed through layers of void, disappearing into the void.

Pei Qinhu watched him leave without saying more, his eyes flashing with complexity.

As the senior disciple of Jade Void Palace, he quickly composed himself and took a step back into the Jade Purity Monastery.

Moments later, one by one, the disciples of Jade Purity Sect crossed the void and gathered before him.

"Senior Brother."

Xu Donglai spoke first, his expression filled with hidden excitement and agitation.

Qin Zheng's strength had exceeded their expectations, and there would be no issues in their upcoming journey to the Sea of Rules.

As long as they collected enough Rule Artifacts, they could help their master awaken from his slumber as soon as possible.

"Hmm."

Pei Qinhu nodded slightly, then turned his gaze to Xu Nianqing and the other two, asking, "With the strength Qin Daoyou has displayed..."

"If he were to take action, would it cause a disturbance in the Sea of Rules?"

Xu Nianqing's expression was no longer cold; he, too, showed excitement and quickly replied, "There's a fundamental difference between Dao Realm Artifacts and Primordial Essence. As long as Qin Daoyou exercises restraint, it shouldn't cause any disturbance."

If the previous disciples of Jade Purity Sect were still worried about whether Qin Zheng could enter the treasure site and gather enough Rule Artifacts, at this moment, their concern was that Qin Zheng's strength might cause chaos and confusion in the Sea of Rules.

Pei Qinhu nodded, and his eyes also showed a hint of joy.

The other disciples felt the same way.

Just then, a clear and beautiful voice, laced with greed, echoed in everyone's ears.

"His strength is entirely due to the forty-nine-story Golden Pagoda above his head and the divine sword in his hand."

"If those two treasures were in our hands, we wouldn't be any less than him."

A crisp palm strike interrupted the voice from continuing.

Everyone's gaze followed the sound, and they saw Pei Qinhu standing in front of a girl, though no one knew when he had arrived.

On the girl's face, a bright red palm print slowly appeared, and blood even flowed from her ears and the corner of her mouth.

"Senior Brother..."

Ling Jingwan's voice trembled as she spoke, her expression filled with disbelief.

But before she could finish saying 'Senior Brother', Pei Qinhu spoke in a cold tone, "Go to the Purity Cultivation Hall for reflection. As long as Master remains asleep, you shall not step out of the hall!"

"If you dare to leave the hall without permission, even half a step, I will take the initiative for Master and revoke your Jade Purity Sect identity, dispersing your cultivation!"

Pei Qinhu's voice was cold, even carrying a hint of killing intent, causing everyone's hearts to tremble in fear.

In this situation, Ling Jingwan's face showed shock and panic.

"I..."

She wanted to say something, but her words were incoherent.

Xu Donglai took a step forward, grabbed her neck, and instantly disappeared from sight.

Pei Qinhu turned to the other disciples of Jade Purity Sect and said sternly, "Qin Daoyou is favored by the Ancestor, and his remarkable luck is not something anyone can covet."

"Master's awakening is the priority. If anyone has ill intentions and lets him notice, not only will they not help us, but I won't be polite!"

After speaking, his gaze swept over the rest of the crowd, as if to see through their thoughts.

"We understand.

The crowd responded with calm acceptance.

They had never harbored any thoughts of coveting Qin Zheng's possessions.

After all, even the Demon Court's Demon Lord and the Buddha from Spirit Mountain had fallen to Qin Zheng's hands; they didn't have the ability or qualification to compete for the divine artifact in Qin Zheng's possession.

Only Ling Jingwan, the younger junior sister who had been taken in at a young age and showered with affection by everyone, seemed unaware of her own insignificance.

They certainly wouldn't behave like her.

Pei Qinhu nodded slightly, and the chill emanating from him gradually dissipated.

Xu Donglai returned to the group and said to Pei Qinhu, "She's been locked up in the Purity Cultivation Hall, and seals have been set up around the hall."

Pei Qinhu heaved a soft sigh, then continued, "If we don't lock her up, I fear she'll truly anger Qin Daoyou and bring disaster upon herself."

"I hope that in the Purity Cultivation Hall, she'll understand my intentions."

After saying these words, he changed his tone and added, "Since we don't know where Qin Daoyou is, let's prepare and wait here."

"When Qin Daoyou comes to us, that will be the day we enter the Sea of Rules!"

Boom!!!

As his words fell, a fierce rumble sounded, and the terrifying sword qi that had pierced through the vast continent reappeared.

But this time, the sword qi didn't slash through the continent; instead, it fell upon the land of the demons.

In an instant, half of the demons on the vast continent were annihilated!

Pei Qinhu's expression turned solemn.

The other Jade Void disciples also fixed their gazes in that direction.

Even the powerful beings who had just withdrawn their gazes turned back, their eyes filled with astonishment as they looked towards the demon land.

Was that person not going to spare the demons?

At that moment, from the depths of the Demon Court, several towering auras erupted, and the Primordial Chaos intent soared into the sky once more.

"You're going too far!"

A roar of suppressed anger echoed from within the Demon Court, directed at the source of the Immortal Slaying Sword Qi.

The vast continent, which had just calmed down, was on the brink of erupting once more.

However, after the Immortal Slaying Sword Qi slashed out, there was no follow-up action, and even the sword qi gradually dissipated between heaven and earth.

The powerful auras that had risen from the Demon Court hesitated for a moment, then also returned to silence.

The impending battle once again subsided into tranquility.

Many of those who had been watching were filled with the same question.

The previous sword strike had annihilated nearly half of the demons, seemingly just to intimidate the Demon Court.

But the previous strikes at Spirit Mountain, where one sword had slain the Buddha and another had eliminated the Demon Lord, had already provided sufficient intimidation to both factions.

Indeed, the current sword strike seemed somewhat excessive.

However, if that person had unleashed this sword strike, there must be a reason for it!

What was the significance of this sword strike? The powerful beings fell into deep contemplation.

In the Immortal Dynasty of the Human Race, within the Heavenly Palace.

Qin Zheng sheathed his sword and sent a wisp of his consciousness into his sea of consciousness, gazing at the Virtue Scroll.

【Qin Zheng】

【Cultivation Technique: Primordial Golden Seal (Incomplete), Pure Chapter of Dao Scripture】

【Supernatural Abilities: Four-Colored Divine Light】

【Treasures: Great Way Tree (Young), Three Treasures Jade Ruyi (Imperfect), Immortal Slaying Sword, Heaven Earth Jade Tower, Azure Heaven Mirror (Imperfect)】

【Virtue Crystals: Fifteen】

【Primordial Virtues: 58,760,567】

【Current】

【.】

With the Heaven Earth Jade Tower's condensation, Qin Zheng no longer had any reservations, and he could fully display his methods and strength.

Therefore, after the previous sword strike annihilated half of the demons on the vast continent, the Virtue Scroll directly condensed fifteen Virtue Crystals.

Before setting out for the Sea of Rules, Qin Zheng planned to purify the polluted energy from Sa Heavenly Master's disciple.

He wanted to see if it could further transform the Virtue Scroll, adding new Virtue Techniques.

Previously, a wisp of Great Way Essence Energy had caused the Virtue Scroll to gain the 【Walking Through All Heavens】 Virtue Technique.

Sa Heavenly Master's disciple had ten wisps of Great Way Essence Energy, which could likely play a role even if the Virtue Scroll's transformation required more energy with a higher probability.

If it could add new Virtue Techniques, it might have a significant impact.

Qin Zheng's thoughts surged in his heart.

Before him was a staff emitting Buddha Light, a beast claw brimming with demonic aura, the remains of a monk without any life force, and Ye Tianxin, who seemed somewhat perplexed.
