Chapter 463: The Power of the Primordial Rank!

2024-11-15

The Daoist priest sat cross-legged atop Chaos, appearing unremarkable at first glance, as if he were in deep meditation.

However, in Qin Zheng's vision, he seemed to see an endless and boundless Great Way, directly pressing down upon his head.

Although this Great Way was filled with cracks, some so severe that it seemed almost completely broken.

But in just a fleeting moment, Qin Zheng felt an unprecedented and overwhelming pressure, as if the heavens were crushing down upon him.

His spirit trembled, and his physical body shook!

Even with his formidable Primordial Essence, at this moment, a thick sense of mortal danger suddenly emerged in Qin Zheng's heart.

Just a glance at the Daoist priest had caused such a disturbance!

Qin Zheng's heart trembled.

This was the true power of the Primordial Rank.

Even with severe Great Way injuries and currently in a deep slumber,

No existence below the Primordial Rank could directly face or covet such power!

Qin Zheng had no doubt that if he harbored any malicious intentions, the pressure he would face would be a hundred or even a thousand times greater!

A Primordial Rank existence, even in slumber and unaware of external changes, is protected by the Great Way. Their mere aura is enough to shatter those below the Primordial Rank!

Hua!

In the next moment, ripples appeared on the surface of Qin Zheng's heart sea, and the outline of the Daoist priest slowly emerged, his figure gradually solidifying.

Within a few breaths, the image of the Daoist priest sitting with closed eyes appeared in Qin Zheng's heart sea.

Then, the Daoist's eyelids twitched slightly, as if he were about to open his eyes.

Qin Zheng's heart immediately froze.

A Virtue Scroll floated in his heart sea, containing his greatest secret, which must never be revealed to others.

In that instant, the four Dao Realm Artifacts in his inner world leaped forward, appearing in his heart sea.

But before the four artifacts could exert their power, the Virtue Scroll moved slightly, and a beam of Virtue Crystal light swept across his heart sea.

Thus, before the Daoist priest could open his eyes, he was directly disintegrated into nothingness by the sweeping Virtue Crystal light.

The terrifying pressure on Qin Zheng also dissipated as the four Dao Realm Artifacts and the Virtue Scroll revived one after another.

When Qin Zheng's consciousness returned, and he looked forward again, the image of the Daoist priest sitting with closed eyes reappeared before him.

As for the endless Great Way that had stretched across his head, it had vanished without a trace.

This was the power of the Primordial!

Qin Zheng's expression turned solemn.

If not for the protection of the Virtue Scroll and the Dao Realm Artifacts, he would have been exposed to the Daoist priest's power.

Perhaps in the instant the Daoist priest opened his eyes, everything Qin Zheng had experienced since his birth would have been revealed to him!

And this was not even the Daoist priest taking action, but a passive defense of the Great Way while in slumber!

Qin Zheng's respect for the power of the Primordial Rank grew even stronger.

However, perhaps not every Primordial Rank existence was this powerful.

D

In the Primordial Rank, he was likely among the top-tier existences!

As Qin Zheng gazed at the Daoist priest sitting with closed eyes, various thoughts raced through his mind.

At the same time, the image of the endless Great Way he had witnessed earlier reappeared in his mind.

In his vision, the Great Way was covered in cracks, some so severe that it seemed on the verge of complete breakage.

This must be Dao Xing Tianzun's Great Way injury, and such a severe wound was not something that a mere few hundred Crystal Dao Fruits could heal.

Even these Crystal Dao Fruits might not be enough to awaken him.

No wonder the Majestic Dragon in the depths of the Sea of Rules paid no heed to the Jade Purity Lineage's might.

Perhaps it had already secretly interacted with the Primordial Rank beings who descended upon the Vast Continent and knew of their severe Great Way injuries.

Unless a new Primordial Rank emerges, occupying a blank Great Way and using new Primordial Essence to heal, there is no way to cure such injuries.

Qin Zheng's heart sank slightly.

The ordeal Qin Zheng had just experienced was merely an instant in the outside world.

Meng Qishan had been closely observing Qin Zheng's reactions, and seeing no response, he thought, "As expected," and relaxed.

Under the Great Way of his master, all evil spirits would be exposed and suppressed.

Qin Zheng, feeling the gentle breeze of the Great Way, showed little reaction, indicating that he harbored no evil thoughts.

Meng Qishan thought to himself and then spoke, "Although my master is in a deep slumber, he is a Primordial Rank great figure. Ordinary beings cannot fathom his power."

"The first time Qin Xiong appeared before the Master, it's inevitable that the Master's Great Dao perception would be triggered. I ask for your understanding, Brother Qin."

Qin Zheng didn't say much, merely nodding lightly. Then, he fixed his gaze on Daoxing Tianzun's figure and calmly spoke, "The Master's Dao injury is severe."

Meng Qishan nodded heavily.

Then, Qin Zheng's voice continued in his ear, "Relying solely on the faint power of the Rule Artifact may not be enough to revive the Master."

Meng Qishan's expression froze upon hearing this, and he turned to look at Qin Zheng, his voice steady as he asked, "Brother Qin, what did you see just now?"

The Jade Void Lineage, for over a million years, had placed their hopes on Rule Artifacts.

With their perception, they were also aware that Rule Artifacts couldn't heal their Master's Dao injury, but they should be able to make appropriate repairs, allowing him to awaken.

But Qin Zheng only took one look and said that Rule Artifacts couldn't awaken their Master, which meant he must have sensed or seen something.

Qin Zheng withdrew his gaze from the Daoist Priest and turned to Meng Qishan beside him, saying, "The Master's Great Dao is riddled with countless wounds."

Meng Qishan's pupils suddenly constricted.

Seeing his reaction, Qin Zheng's eyes narrowed slightly, and he immediately asked, "You haven't seen it before?"

"No."

Meng Qishan shook his head, and there was some confusion in his eyes as he turned to look at Daoxing Tianzun's figure, his voice steady as he said,

"We know the Master's Dao injury is severe, but no one has ever been able to see the Master's Great Dao."

Here, he paused for a moment, then continued, "It must be that Brother Qin is close to attaining Primordial Chaos, so he can see the Master's Great Dao."

No one from the Jade Void Lineage had ever seen their Master's Great Dao manifest.

After the Master fell into slumber, the first time Qin Zheng came, he was also only suppressed by the invisible power of the Great Dao, and he didn't see the Master's Great Dao.

So, this shouldn't be the Master's problem; it's only because Qin Zheng is too close to attaining Primordial Chaos, making him more sensitive to the Great Dao, and thus, he saw the Master's Great Dao.

Meng Qishan thought this in his heart.

Qin Zheng lightly nodded.

This explanation wasn't wrong.

He had previously comprehended the Great Dao of Buddhism and the Demon Clan's Primordial Chaos, and then he further comprehended other Great Daos from the Crystal Dao Fruit.

Even without understanding his own Great Dao, he was indeed more sensitive to the aura of the Great Dao.

This situation wasn't a major issue.

Meng Qishan immediately asked, "Brother Qin, what does the Master's Great Dao look like now?"

Since they couldn't see their Master's Great Dao, they naturally couldn't understand the specifics of the Master's Dao injury.

But Qin Zheng's description just now filled Meng Qishan's heart with trepidation.

Riddled with countless wounds, revival seemed impossible.

If the Master couldn't wake up, then when the Primordial Chaos position appeared three thousand years later, he might never wake up!

Qin Zheng didn't hide anything and immediately responded, "The Master's Great Dao is boundless and endless, but it's filled with cracks everywhere, and in severe places, it's almost torn apart."

Meng Qishan's heart sank to the bottom of his soul.

Could Rule Artifacts really repair such severe injuries?

His hopes were about to turn into despair.

But almost instantly, Meng Qishan's mind flashed with what Qin Zheng had said to him when he left the Sea of Rules.

Three thousand years later, the Primordial Chaos position would be watched by countless Great Ones.

But if there was a way to condense the Primordial Chaos position within the Sea of Rules, then it would be the Master's only chance for survival!

So, he immediately turned to Qin Zheng, his eyes filled with emotion, about to kneel and plead.

But Qin Zheng had already sensed Meng Qishan's emotional turmoil, and in the moment he turned around, he knew what Meng Qishan was thinking.

So, Qin Zheng reached out with one hand and directly supported Meng Qishan, preventing him from kneeling, and said, "Let's discuss other matters later."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Zheng waved his hand, and two hundred Crystal Dao Fruits appeared before them.

The rich and profound Rule Power instantly permeated from these Dao Fruits.

"Let's give it a try." Qin Zheng spoke again.

He hadn't expected the Master's Dao injury to be so severe.

This time, he came personally, hoping that the Master would awaken, and he could discuss and exchange ideas with him.

After all, those old fellows sealed deep within the Sea of Rules were indeed too mysterious.

If he could gain the support of Daoxing Tianzun, his future actions would be much safer.

But at this moment, he wasn't sure if the other party could wake up.

Upon hearing Meng Qishan's words, he nodded solemnly and then turned his gaze to the Rule Artifact in front of him.

Rule Artifacts were hard to find, and the ones they had discovered in the past were usually only a few, at most a dozen.

This time, they had the most abundant harvest.

He also hoped that these two hundred Rule Artifacts could awaken his master.

Even if it was just for a brief moment, with his master's realm and insight, they could guide them on their next journey.

As Meng Qishan thought this, he gently brandished the Immortal Sword.

In an instant, a clear light surged from the sword, enveloping the two hundred Crystal Dao Fruits completely. Then, he gently sent them towards the Daoist.

The two hundred Crystal Dao Fruits, protected by the clear light, slowly approached the Daoist.

But just as they reached a distance of one zhang from the Daoist, the Crystal Dao Fruits seemed to collide with an invisible barrier, and they stopped abruptly.

However, only a moment later, a buzzing sound rang out.

The two hundred Crystal Dao Fruits simultaneously transformed into Rule Power, like tiny snakes, flexibly penetrating the barrier and surging into the Daoist's body.

The next instant, a layer of clear light appeared on the Daoist's body.

Then, an incredibly powerful aura began to rise from the Daoist's body.

It was as if an immeasurably vast world had descended, and a terrifyingly oppressive force instantly fell upon Qin Zheng and Meng Qishan.

Meng Qishan couldn't bear it and suddenly spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

But his expression didn't show weakness; instead, he became even more excited.

These Rule Artifacts were useful!

His master was about to revive!

Although Qin Zheng was stronger than him, at this moment, under the overwhelming pressure of the Primordial Rank aura, he also felt uncomfortable.

He raised his head and looked upwards, and the originally vanished Great Way reappeared at this moment.

The Rule Power contained within the two hundred Crystal Dao Fruits flew towards a crack on the Great Way.

With each passing crack, the Rule Power of a Crystal Dao Fruit rushed into the crack, repairing the damage.

However, even a single Crystal Dao Fruit could only repair one crack, and there were countless cracks on this Great Way, not just two hundred!

Not to mention the severe breaks, there were at least twenty thousand cracks!

Even if they emptied all the Crystal Dao Fruits in the Sea of Rules, it would still be difficult to completely repair all the cracks on this Great Way.

Thus, the two hundred Rule Powers were quickly depleted.

But this Great Way, riddled with countless cracks, didn't show significant changes.

Under Qin Zheng's watchful gaze, the reappearing Heavenly Venerable Great Way slowly dissipated as the Rule Power was consumed.

The constantly rising aura of the Dao Realm aura of the Daoist also stalled, as if it had lost its momentum, and quickly fell.

Even the clear light emanating from his body dimmed, returning to its original state.

However, after a few breaths, everything returned to its initial state, without any changes.

Meng Qishan's originally excited and agitated expression turned stiff, then transformed into deep disappointment.

Useless!

The Rule Artifacts were useless!

But as the second disciple of the Jade Purity Lineage and a master of the Eightfold Divine Treasury with complete Great Transcendent Golden Numbers, he instantly adjusted his mindset.

Since the Rule Artifacts were useless, the next thing to do was what Qin Zheng had mentioned—to gather the Primordial Chaos from the Sea of Rules.

Meng Qishan immediately turned around, his expression solemn as he looked at Qin Zheng and said, "Brother Qin, about the Sea of Rules you mentioned..."

Before he could finish his sentence, a dazzling clear light suddenly emerged from Qin Zheng's body.

The implications of this clear light were even more profound than what his master had displayed.

This sudden change caught Qin Zheng off guard as well.

Half of his mind focused on the Three Treasure Jade Ruyi, while the other half was directed towards the still-slumbering figure of the Daoist.

Sensing the longing emanating from the Three Treasure Jade Ruyi, he immediately understood that it was awakening on its own, not due to the Daoist's methods.

With a thought, he reached out and grasped the Three Treasure Jade Ruyi in his right hand.

A dazzling light instantly enveloped the heavens and earth.

In the next instant, a calm and gentle voice sounded in Qin Zheng's ear, "My Dao path, I thank the fellow Daoist for his assistance this time."
