Chapter 461: Buddhist Sect's Three Ancestors? A Personal Intervention is More Like It!

2024-11-13

"Holistic Origin."

Qin Zheng lowered his head, examining the jade seal in his palm. On it, two talismans were carved, forming the characters 'Holistic Origin'.

He didn't entirely dismiss the old Daoist's previous claims.

But regarding these defeated wraiths, who were about to refine a Muxuan Throne for him, solely for the promise of his intervention, he found it hard to believe.

Putting aside the sealed wraiths, how could they possibly refine a Muxuan Throne within this Sea of Rules?

Even if they did, it seemed absurd that such a grand undertaking was merely for a promise.

Qin Zheng was more inclined to believe that these fellows were after his Ten Thousand Dao Body.

Moreover, the old Daoist's assertion about his potential to attain legendary enlightenment resonated with the Virtue Scroll's description of the Ten Thousand Dao Body.

Even if no anomalies occurred within a month, and the wraiths genuinely refined a Muxuan Throne in the Sea of Rules, it was unlikely that this throne would be truly 'blank' and available for his taking.

Qin Zheng remained silent for a few breaths before gently tossing the jade seal upwards. It flew and landed directly beneath the Heaven Earth Jade Tower.

The tower emitted strands of divine light, immediately suppressing the jade seal at its base.

With the tower's suppression, even if the old Daoist had left some backup plan, it wouldn't cause much trouble.

After completing this step, Qin Zheng took a step forward, approaching the three-zhang-high dragon egg. He extended his hand, touching the egg's shell.

Simultaneously, his mind stirred, and the Ten Thousand Dao Body, nurtured within, suddenly opened its eyes.

One body, one clone.

Both began a meticulous inspection of the dragon egg.

Four Dao Realm artifacts descended, their auras covering the egg.

Although the old Daoist was under Qin Zheng's watchful gaze and the protection of the four artifacts, he didn't dare act against the egg.

However, Qin Zheng couldn't afford to be careless. If the old fellow did something to the Ten Thousand Dao Body, it would only be a delay, and he might lose it when the time came.

When the moment arrived, the old Daoist could seize the body from him.

A clone with the potential for legendary enlightenment was something Qin Zheng would never let slip from his grasp.

Time passed slowly.

After a day, Qin Zheng slowly retracted his right hand, and the Ten Thousand Dao Body within the egg closed its eyes again.

The dragon egg seemed fine, but the Sea of Rules no longer felt like a safe place.

Qin Zheng's gaze turned profound, as if he could see through the egg's exterior, observing the Ten Thousand Dao Body being nurtured within.

To fully nurture this body, not only was Rule Power required, but also a considerable amount of time.

Leaving the Sea of Rules would make it challenging to find another suitable place for the body's nurturing in a short time.

So, for now, he couldn't leave.

During this process, ensuring the safety of the Ten Thousand Dao Body was crucial.

Muxuan Throne Pollution Invasion, Wraith Vengeance

Qin Zheng's mind replayed the information exchanged with the old Daoist.

The old Daoist's methods were mysterious, and if he wanted to gain the most benefits within the Sea of Rules, there was only one choice.

Shifting the conflict, he would let the sealed wraiths and the slumbering great figures clash.

The best method...

Qin Zheng's eyes flickered slightly, and with a wave of his hand, he first retrieved the dragon egg into his Inner World, then stored the Crystal Dao Fruit in his bag.

Now was not the time to leisurely comprehend the Great Dao; he needed to make preparations in advance.

Hum!

The Heavenborn Fragment emitted a faint glow, slowly descending from above and landing in Qin Zheng's palm.

Qin Zheng's mind stirred.

Whoosh!

Invisible spatial power rapidly contracted, and the isolated space swiftly returned to the Sea of Rules.

Qin Zheng took a light step, soaring into the sky and leaving the Dragon Nest Treasury protected by the Heaven Earth Jade Tower.

His plan was straightforward: leak the news of the imminent appearance of the Muxuan Throne.

Regardless of its authenticity, various forces would report to their Muxuan figures, drawing attention to the Sea of Rules.

By then, the sealed old fellows would be preoccupied with preventing Muxuan interference, leaving them no spare energy to intervene in Qin Zheng's affairs.

He could then quietly create a space within the Sea of Rules using the Heavenborn Fragment, peacefully nurturing the Ten Thousand Dao Body.

The only thing these old fellows could do to prevent him from backing out of this deal was probably that jade seal.

As thoughts surged in Qin Zheng's mind, the Xuanhuang aura descending from the treasure tower became increasingly dense, firmly suppressing the jade seal and preventing even a hint of divine light from escaping.

But this alone wasn't enough.

He still had one more thing to do.

Whoosh!

As Qin Zheng's thoughts surged, he rushed out of the Dragon Nest Treasury and arrived above the Sea of Rules.

A dazzling light instantly covered his entire field of vision.

At the same time, a solemn and majestic mantra suddenly sounded, causing Qin Zheng's heart and mind to tremble. The mantra emerged from the depths of his heart, and golden lotuses bloomed from within.

Spirit Mountain Bodhimanda!

These guys dared to make a move?

Qin Zheng's heart instantly froze.

At that moment, the golden lotuses that had emerged from his heart seemed to be nurturing a certain figure.

But in the next instant—

Buzz!

The Heaven Earth Jade Tower trembled.

A dense divine light descended upon Qin Zheng's head, appearing in his heart sea, swiftly causing the golden lotuses to vanish.

The Immortal Slaying Sword and Jade Precious, nurtured within the Dao Palace, also erupted with power, sweeping through his heart and driving away the mantra from his body.

The three Dao Realm Artifacts displayed their might together, instantly clearing Qin Zheng's mind.

He turned his gaze forward and saw, deep within the Sea of Rules, an enormous beast hide spread out above his head.

On this beast hide were golden characters, and at this moment, a powerful Buddha light surged, causing heart-shaking tremors.

It was this beast hide and its golden characters that had caught Qin Zheng off guard, causing his mind to falter.

Holistic Origin techniques!

Qin Zheng's eyes turned cold.

These bald-headed monks had dared to use Holistic Origin techniques against him!

Moreover, the Holistic Origin technique used this time was far more powerful than the previous two attempts.

In an instant, it had broken through the defenses of the Heaven Earth Jade Tower, causing golden lotuses to bloom in his heart, and his mind to falter.

Although the treasure tower's nine-tenths power was focused on suppressing and sealing the Holistic Origin Seal, this also demonstrated the formidable power of the beast hide's golden characters.

"You, the sinful obstacle, truly have some skills!"

Just then, a loud voice suddenly sounded not far from Qin Zheng.

Two figures slowly emerged into Qin Zheng's sight, illuminated by the Buddha light.

"Even if this sinful dragon were to face us directly, it would be difficult to drive it away. I didn't expect you, the sinful obstacle, to be able to achieve this."

The Awakening Heart Monk spoke indifferently.

The two had just come from a Buddhist temple, holding the Three Ancestors Decree, to assist the Majestic Dragon in capturing Qin Zheng's mind and energy perception.

However, when they arrived, they didn't find any traces of the sinful dragon, Qin Zheng, or the dragon nest.

They assumed that Qin Zheng had driven away the sinful dragon, occupied the Rule Artifacts within the Dragon Nest Treasury, and then hid using special means.

After a brief moment of thought, the two monks decided to cover the dragon nest with the Three Ancestors Decree to prevent any unexpected occurrences.

Indeed, within a day, they had waited for Qin Zheng to appear.

As they looked at Qin Zheng's figure, their eyes held both indifference and greed.

Aside from the few Dao Realm Artifacts the person before them possessed, there were also the Rule Artifacts within the dragon nest and the extraordinary means to create a separate space.

If they could truly restrain the person before them, these treasures would be a significant harvest for the two monks.

Not to mention the possibility of other unknown, unparalleled treasures on the person's body!

Their hearts grew even hotter.

Upon seeing the two monks, Qin Zheng's gaze swept past them, and he looked in other directions.

In the Sea of Rules, his perception couldn't spread, which was one reason he had been caught off guard earlier.

With a thought, the Ten Thousand Dao Body expanded his perception, and he realized that only the two Arhats had descended from the Buddhist sect. A hint of regret emerged in Qin Zheng's heart.

Such a good opportunity to make a move, and they had only sent two people. It was a bit of a pity.

This thought flashed through his mind, and at the same time, an Immortal Slayer Sword, radiating Heaven and Earth Annihilation intent, appeared in his hand.

As the Immortal Slaying Sword emerged, the two Arhats' expressions instantly froze, and they snapped out of their fantasies.

"Om, Ma, Ni, Ben, Mi, Hum!"

The two monks clasped their hands together, and their voices thundered like a divine drum.

"Sinful obstacle! With the Three Ancestors Decree here, why don't you quickly surrender? Do you dare to resist?"

Ah, the Awakened Ability Monk took a step forward and shouted loudly.

At the moment the two were about to clash, the giant beast hide floating above everyone's heads began to change.

The Sanskrit script on it glowed with radiant Buddha light, even more dazzling as it surged, as if breaking free from its constraints and instantly detaching from the hide.

The Sanskrit characters, overflowing with Buddha light, didn't rush towards Qin Zheng but instead gathered and condensed in mid-air.

Faintly, a human figure seemed to take form.

In an instant, an incredibly vast and mighty aura erupted from the figure condensed from the golden light and Sanskrit script, sweeping across the four directions.

With this commotion, the surrounding Rule Power became unruly, and annihilation force started to emerge.

But the beast hide suddenly glowed with a faint light, and in the blink of an eye, within the area covered by the Buddha light, the Rule Power quickly calmed down.

At this moment, the figure formed by the golden light and Sanskrit script gradually took shape, resembling a true Buddha's descent.

A wisp of Primordial Chaos aura instantly emanated from this figure.

All these changes occurred in the blink of an eye.

The two Buddhist Arhats, at this time, had a smile on their lips as they looked at Qin Zheng and spoke indifferently, "Do you think we would be unprepared?"

"At this moment, the three ancestors of Buddhism have descended. We advise you to surrender peacefully, follow us to the Spirit Mountain to atone for your sins."

Before their words could finish—

Whoosh!

A terrifying sword intent capable of annihilating heaven and earth instantly surged forth like a mighty river, covering the two Arhats.

With Qin Zheng's current strength and the Immortal Slaying Sword in hand, these two Great Transcendent Golden Numbers were no different from two insignificant ants.

After the Immortal Slaying Sword's intent dissipated, there was no trace of the two Arhats, only two glowing Buddha light relics floating in front of them.

Qin Zheng casually reached out, collected the two relics, and then turned his gaze towards the figure formed by the golden light and Sanskrit script.

This was the true opponent of this battle.

The figure's body was overflowing with Buddha light, making it difficult to discern its true appearance, but the aura emanating from it was incredibly powerful.

However, Qin Zheng, without hesitation, had just slain the two Buddhist Arhats with his sword, and he didn't intervene.

Perhaps the two Buddhist Arhats hadn't anticipated this, and in their moment of triumph, they were extinguished.

At this moment, under Qin Zheng's gaze, the figure slowly rose, and the floating beast hide above its head descended, attaching itself to the figure.

Whoosh!

After a haze of mist, a tall and handsome monk appeared before Qin Zheng's eyes.

"Amitabha Buddha!"

The monk clasped his hands together and chanted the Buddha's name, then lowered his gaze and looked down at Qin Zheng.

"Layman."

Boom!

The mighty sword intent surged forth once more, covering everything!

Qin Zheng took a step forward, and his left hand manifested the Jade Precious, which he then threw out.

Boom!

It was as if a vast realm had fallen, and an earth-shattering roar reverberated.

Without any intentional suppression, the Rule Power from all directions swiftly rioted, transforming into a terrifying annihilation force.

At this very instant, within the Inner World, the Dragon Egg containing the Ten Thousand Dao Body suddenly opened its eyes.

The terrifying annihilation force from all directions, like a chaotic army now with a general, swiftly rushed towards the being covered by the sword intent.

In the blink of an eye—

The Immortal Slaying Sword, the Three Treasures Jade Precious, and the annihilation force! With these three unleashed, the figure formed by the golden light, Sanskrit script, and the beast hide went completely silent.

Qin Zheng reached out, and a hide, now darkened and tattered, flew out from the dissipating sword intent and landed in his palm.

"The Three Ancestors of Buddhism."

"It's about time they showed up in person."

He spoke indifferently.

This was a true Primordial Chaos entity!

Unfortunately, within this beast hide, there was only a wisp of the Primordial Chaos entity's consciousness, not the entity itself.

And in front of the current Qin Zheng, such a move posed no real threat.

He rubbed the beast hide between his fingers, examining the shattered Sanskrit script on it, then stored it in his bag, and took another step away from his original position.

At the same instant, far away on the other side of the Sea of Rules, deep within the temple shrouded in dense fog, a cracking sound suddenly broke the silence.

After a few breaths—

"The Three Ancestors' decree is shattered."

"That cursed one is growing stronger."

"Wait a few more days."
