Sixteen Virtue Crystals.

Before entering the Sea of Rules, he had already spent all fifteen Virtue Crystals he had accumulated.

But now he had gathered sixteen again.

And coincidentally, after arriving at the Sea of Rules, the Great Transcendent Golden Numbers of the Complete Eighth Stage Divine Treasury he had slain were also sixteen.

In other words, by slaying one Great Transcendent Golden Number of the Complete Eighth Stage Divine Treasury, he could obtain one Virtue Crystal.

Qin Zheng looked at the information on the Virtue Scroll and came to this conclusion, then relaxed a little.

With this, accumulating Virtue Crystals would become much easier.

There was no need to annihilate half the Demon Clan with a single sword as before, creating too much of a disturbance.

This time, in the Sea of Rules, he might be able to collect a considerable number of Virtue Crystals.

As long as the Demons and the Buddhist Sect didn't get in the way.

Qin Zheng thought to himself.

Just then, Meng Qishan's voice suddenly rang out, "Brother Qin, that treasure site is not far from here."

Upon hearing this, Qin Zheng immediately calmed his mind, returned to the outside world, and looked forward.

The surroundings were dim and dark, like an ordinary person in the dead of night, unable to discern the direction.

Even though he was a Great Transcendent Golden Number of the Complete Eighth Stage Divine Treasury, he couldn't penetrate the darkness around him to sense what was further away.

However, beneath his feet was a light boat, surging with clear light, enveloping the two of them as they swiftly headed towards the treasure site.

After Meng Qishan spoke, within a few breaths, Qin Zheng noticed a faint light appearing in the distance.

Then, as the light boat beneath them continued to move forward, the faint light became increasingly stronger.

Hua!

When they reached a certain depth, the faint light seemed to transform into a great sun, dispelling the darkness in all directions.

After the light dimmed, the boundless darkness around them also turned into a misty, colorful haze.

Qin Zheng could now see the scenery before him.

This place was like an immortal realm, with immortal mountains and celestial rivers, rare treasures, and under the misty, colorful haze, an indescribable sense of mystery and majesty.

However, Qin Zheng found that his perception still couldn't spread, and the clear light emanating from the light boat beneath him didn't dissipate.

Meng Qishan spoke at the right moment, "Although this place is different from before, it seems less dangerous, but in truth, it's the opposite.

"The rules' power in this colorful land is more chaotic and violent than in the dark land we were just in!"

"A slight misstep could trigger a rule tide, endangering all life that enters here."

"So, Brother Qin, please be extra cautious."

Hearing this, Qin Zheng nodded lightly.

Then, under his watchful gaze, he saw the surroundings transform from an immortal realm to a divine palace Dao field.

But the change happened in an instant!

Therefore, what he saw was not real; it was just a temporary evolution of the rules' power.

However,

Whether it was the previous immortal realm or the current divine palace Dao field, without a reference, the rules' power couldn't have evolved on its own.

This Sea of Rules must have hidden secrets and is not a simple gathering place for chaotic rules.

Qin Zheng pondered in his heart.

Meng Qishan spoke again, "The scenery here changes endlessly, as if the rules' power is evolving a scene it once imprinted."

"My master guessed that this was once a great world, but it collapsed and became a chaotic, disorderly Sea of Rules."

"Unfortunately, my master's injuries are too severe for him to explore further, and we are also unable to investigate."

Qin Zheng's eyes lit up at this, and he asked, "Even if the Dao Master is in the Primordial Realm, he should be among the top tier. Do you know why he was severely injured?"

Concerned about the battle in the Thirty-Three Heavens, Qin Zheng shifted his thoughts from the Sea of Rules to the Dao Master.

Meng Qishan thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "My master didn't tell us why he was severely injured.

"He only mentioned that his injuries are complicated, hard to heal, and might be a risk of demise."

At this point, his expression became solemn, and he continued, "Other Primordial figures from different sects briefly awaken at specific times.

"But Master has been asleep for over a million years!"

"Even if he doesn't wake up at the Water and Land Dharma Assembly three thousand years later, then he might never wake up again!"

Meng Qishan turned to Qin Zheng and said solemnly, "This time, I must ask for your help, Brother Qin!"

Qin Zheng nodded in response.

But at this moment, a sense of foreboding suddenly arose in his heart.

Dao Xing Tianzun is one of the Jade Void Twelve Golden Immortals, and his realm and strength are undoubtedly top-notch within the Primordial Chaos realm.

Although the origins of the Demons and Buddhist Sects' Primordial Chaos are unknown, they likely won't stand idly by while the Jade Void lineage tries to awaken Dao Xing Tianzun.

After all, there will only be three Primordial Chaos positions three thousand years later, which is not enough to satisfy the numerous Primordial Chaos beings' desire for division.

A strong cultivator like Dao Xing Tianzun is one less threat to them.

However, since the Three Pure Ones share the same lineage, there should be a glimmer of hope with the protection of the master of Biyou Palace.

Thinking of this, Qin Zheng asked again, "May I ask the name of the master of Biyou Palace?"

He still didn't know who the Primordial Chaos master was, the one who established the Dao Tradition in Biyou Palace on the Vast Continent.

Xie Lingying, the successor of Biyou Palace, also didn't accompany them but stayed at sea to guard against any further moves from the Spirit Mountain Buddhist Sect.

Meng Qishan was about to speak, but in the next instant, his expression turned serious, and he turned to look ahead.

Qin Zheng also sensed something and, with a wave of his hand, summoned the Heaven Earth Jade Tower into his palm while shifting his gaze to the distance.

A massive dragon head slowly emerged from the depths of the earth, its dragon eyes shimmering with divine light, focusing on the light boat where Qin Zheng and Meng Qishan stood.

Then, a thunderous dragon roar echoed through the four directions.

Boom! The dragon head burst forth from the ground, and its colossal body instantly captured their attention. It continued to surge out endlessly, as if without end.

The four directions were stirred into chaos, and the terrifying Rule Power surged towards the light boat, crashing into it.

Boom! Boom! The light boat was repeatedly struck, emitting loud booms.

However, the clear light emanating from the light boat remained unmoved, firmly protecting the two on board, unaffected by the impact.

"This is not an ordinary dragon," Qin Zheng said, his gaze fixed on the dragon's body still emerging.

Although the dragon's body was massive, Qin Zheng had slain even larger ones before.

But this giant dragon was immune to the Rule Power of this place, able to act freely and even manipulate the Rule Power.

This was not something ordinary dragons could achieve!

Perhaps this dragon wasn't exceptionally strong, but the chaotic Rule Power from all directions was deadly to Great Transcendent Powerhouses entering this place.

As long as it disrupted the Rule Power here, it could annihilate any Great Transcendent who dared to enter.

Meng Qishan formed hand seals, controlling the light boat beneath him, and said solemnly, "This is not a dragon; it's a Rule Beast formed by the condensation of Rule Power."

A Rule Beast?

Qin Zheng looked up, and the massive dragon head was now looking down at them. Its dragon eyes, filled with divine light, exuded an aura of majestic indifference.

It was clear that this creature possessed spiritual intelligence! Could it be that the Rule Power had given birth to spiritual intelligence and evolved into a once-imprinted Immortal Demon Spirit Beast?

"You ants, you truly are persistent. You dare to intrude upon my Dragon Nest again!"

Just then, the dragon slowly lowered its head, and its voice resounded, stirring up another wave of chaos.

The light boat was constantly shaken, and Meng Qishan struggled to maintain his balance. He looked up at the dragon and shouted, "My master is asleep, and we need a treasure to awaken him."

"Please, Dragon Sage, grant us a favor. Once my master recovers, I will personally come to express my gratitude!"

At this moment, Qin Zheng, who had been observing from the side, finally understood why they needed a Dao Realm artifact to dare to enter this place.

That so-called treasure site was actually the nest of this Rule Power-transformed dragon!

To obtain those Rule Artifacts, one had to withstand the attacks of this dragon and resist the annihilating Rule Power.

In this situation, Qin Zheng's gaze fell upon the Heaven Earth Jade Tower in his hand.

On the entire Vast Continent, perhaps only he and the Primordial Chaos beings could achieve this.

At the same time, the dragon's massive body finally burst forth from the depths of the sea, hovering above their heads.

"Master?"

The dragon slowly spoke, its eyes filled with mockery. "Last time you intruded here, I let you leave, giving your master some face.

"This time, you dare to intrude again, even bringing up your master, and demand a Divine Artifact from me?"

"I'm curious, who gave you the courage to act so boldly?"

"Are you relying on your master, who is unconscious and unaware of life and death?!"

As the dragon spoke the last sentence, anger surged in its voice, and the Rule Power around them instantly erupted into chaos.

A terrifying force of annihilation surged like a tidal wave, relentlessly rushing towards the light boat where Qin Zheng and the others were.

Meng Qishan's expression was grave, but he didn't show any signs of panic. He turned to Qin Zheng and asked in a solemn voice, "Brother Qin, can you handle this?"

"If not, we'll leave immediately. This guy won't keep me here!"

Qin Zheng looked at the surging Rule Power around them, then raised his head to look at the majestic dragon above. He turned to Meng Qishan and nodded, saying, "You go back first."

Out of caution, when they take action, the Heaven Earth Jade Tower can only protect one person.

If Meng Qishan remained here, he might be affected by the terrifying force of annihilation, and his life would be uncertain.

Upon hearing Qin Zheng's words, Meng Qishan's eyes gleamed with determination. He took a step back, bowed deeply to Qin Zheng, and said, "Thank you, Brother Qin!"

After speaking, he stood up, looked up, and glanced at the majestic dragon. He threw out another light boat and transformed into radiant light, leaving the place.

In an instant, his figure disappeared from this piece of heaven and earth.

The dragon gently swung its tail, and the terrifying Rule Power instantly followed, ready to strike Meng Qishan.

At the same time, the dragon's gaze fell on Qin Zheng, and it spoke again, "You're not running?"

Qin Zheng shook his head, the Heaven Earth Jade Tower above him slowly descended, and strands of Jade Essence Energy flowed down.

He took a step forward, leaving the light boat, and stood before the dragon, facing it.

"An interesting ant."

The dragon spoke slowly, but its dragon eyes were fixed on the tower above Qin Zheng's head, a hint of surprise flashing in its eyes.

"You must think that the previous attack was all I'm capable of, right?"

It spoke again.

Qin Zheng didn't respond but asked instead, "You're born of Rule Power with intelligence, and your origins are extraordinary. Why not seek a Primordial Chaos ally?"

The dragon's strength wasn't particularly strong, but because it resided in the Sea of Rules, it was immune to the Rule Power.

With this advantage, it could achieve invincibility under Primordial Chaos, which made the Jade Void Lineage hesitant to act.

However, its origins were impressive, and with intelligence born of Rule Power, it could quickly achieve Primordial Chaos through guidance and cultivation.

The dragon narrowed its eyes and chuckled, "Those half-dead fellows, even if I gave them all the Divine Artifacts here, they couldn't be saved!"

"Why should I waste my treasures to save someone who can't be saved, even if they're Primordial Chaos?"

Qin Zheng's eyes flickered, and he said, "What do you mean? Are you saying none of the Primordial Chaos beings can be saved?"

The dragon stared at Qin Zheng, and after a few breaths, it spoke again, "It's not that they can't be saved. Their injuries aren't physical or spiritual but to their own Dao."

"As long as you find an Empty Dao Path and occupy it with your own Dao, you can naturally make up for it."

"Isn't there a piece of heaven and earth not far away that will soon give birth to three Empty Dao Paths?"

"You ants, instead of staring at my Divine Artifacts, think about how to seize an Empty Dao Path."

Qin Zheng nodded slightly, recalling Ye Tianxin's words from the Human Heavenly Court, which were almost identical.

But how did this dragon, formed by the condensation and evolution of Rule Power, know about it?

As Qin Zheng looked at the dragon before him, his curiosity grew.

The dragon seemed to have lost patience and said impatiently, "You have some fortune, so I won't pursue you if you leave now."

"But if you continue to covet my Divine Artifacts, then I will..."

Before it could finish, Qin Zheng took a step forward, standing above the dragon's head.

Qin Zheng's head was adorned with the Heaven Earth Jade Tower, strands of Jade Essence Energy flowed down, his right hand held the Immortal Slayer Sword, emitting a terrifying sword intent, and his left hand held the Jade Slip, radiating thick pure light.

The powerful aura instantly suppressed the surging Rule Power!

"What are you going to do?"

Qin Zheng looked down at the dragon, speaking calmly.
