Chapter 467: Reunion with the Dao Fruit! Unlocking the Great Dharmic Treasury's Hope!

November 19, 2024

Whoosh!!

Intense pure light suddenly surged from the Great Way Tree, rippling like waves, and instantly spread throughout the entire inner world.

In that instant, stars lit up, and the inner world seemed to come alive in a flash.

Immediately after, a mysterious Dao aura emanated from the Great Way Tree.

Om!

Under the influence of this Dao aura, the Dao Palace, located at the highest point of the inner world, moved slightly, pulling on the eight gates of the Great Dharmic Treasury, causing them to tremble.

Qin Zheng felt that in this fleeting moment, the power emanating from the eight gates of the Great Dharmic Treasury became even more substantial, and his strength rose accordingly.

And this was just the beginning of the changes.

In his gaze, the light emanating from the Great Way Tree became more intense, and the Dao aura it emitted became even more profound.

Then, in the next instant.

Crack!

As if breaking free from some restraint, the Great Way Tree suddenly grew by a foot.

Ever since Qin Zheng's promotion to Taiyi, the Great Way Tree had remained stagnant at a height of thirty-six zhang, and even after his rebellion against the Primordial, when he ascended to the Great Transcendent, it did not grow further.

But at this moment, with the influx of Great Dao Essence Energy, it began to grow again, and at an astonishing speed!

One foot... two feet... three feet...

One zhang... two zhang... three zhang...

In just a short moment, the Great Way Tree had grown to a height of thirty-nine zhang, three zhang taller than before.

At the same time.

On the branches of the tree, the leaves began to manifest his experiences since his crossing over, eventually transforming into various martial arts and immortal techniques.

Each technique was unique, yet they all exuded a perfect aura of Dao essence.

"Ghost Head Sword Technique," "Black Devil Palm," "Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill," "Hidden Secret Mind Awareness Scripture," "Primordial Golden Seal," and "Pure Chapter of Dao Scripture"!

Whoosh!

The leaves suddenly fell, and then quickly condensed and merged together.

Immediately after.

A Daoist shadow appeared, evolving the Primordial Nine Seals, causing the Chaos to evolve the universe, the universe to give birth to all things, and all things to nurture sentient beings.

And then.

"The Dao that can be spoken is not the eternal Dao."

The Daoist's chanting echoed throughout the inner world, and a purple qi emerged from nothingness, descending above the Great Way Tree.

Boom!

Although the faces of the two Daoists were unclear, they could feel the distinct yet harmonious Dao auras.

As the Primordial Nine Seals reached the final seal, the Daoist's chanting also concluded the last line.

Then, the shadows of the two Daoists instantly transformed back into two leaves of the Great Way Tree, falling into the place where the leaves below had gathered.

And as these last two leaves fell, all the leaves transformed into a dense ball of light, rising to the highest point of the Great Way Tree.

The purple qi that had appeared from nothingness and descended above the Great Way Tree, now fell into this ball of light.

Whoosh!

The light suddenly expanded and enveloped the entire inner world in an instant, turning it into a boundless sea of light.

But also in just a moment, the light contracted rapidly, concentrating on the Great Way Tree.

Then, a seemingly real yet illusory, chaotic, and ethereal Dao fruit appeared before Qin Zheng's eyes.

Dao Fruit!

Qin Zheng's eyes lit up.

Everything that had just happened was not new to him. When he was preparing for his promotion to Tai Yi, the Great Way Tree had once condensed a Dao fruit.

And the day that Dao fruit matured was the day he ascended to Tai Yi.

Now, with another Dao fruit condensed, did it mean that when this Dao fruit matured, it would be the day he attained enlightenment to the Primordial Chaos?

Qin Zheng suddenly thought so.

According to his original plan, he wanted to try to enhance the Great Dao Tree with Great Dao Essence Energy, and see if he could perfect the "Pure Chapter of Dao Scripture."

Unexpectedly, due to a twist of fate, such a change occurred, and another Dao fruit was condensed.

So, the next step was to accumulate Great Dao Essence Energy, using it as a foundation to nurture the growth of the Great Way Tree and mature the Dao fruit.

But he didn't know if there was any connection between this Dao fruit and the Great Dharmic Treasury.

The path to attaining enlightenment in the Primordial Chaos had only two options: either relying on the Primordial Chaos position nurtured by heaven and earth or unlocking the Great Dharmic Treasury.

After this Dao fruit matured, how would it help him in his promotion? Qin Zheng's mind and gaze were fixed on the seemingly real and fake Dao fruit on the Great Way Tree, his thoughts swirling.

At this moment, the growth of the Great Way Tree did not stop, and it continued to slowly grow by two zhang before finally coming to a halt.

Five strands of Great Dao Essence Energy caused the Great Way Tree to grow by five zhang in total.

Qin Zheng's mind and gaze shifted from the ethereal Dao fruit, turning to the entire Great Way Tree.

In the vast inner world, a tree stood forty-one zhang tall, appearing minuscule. Yet, with each sway, it triggered changes within the realm.

Gazing at the Great Way Tree, which seemed to break free from its constraints and undergo rebirth, Qin Zheng's mind stirred, and he turned his attention to the Virtue Scroll floating above his sea of consciousness.

【Qin Zheng】

【Cultivation Method: Primordial Golden Seal, Pure Chapter of Dao Scripture】

【Supernatural Abilities: Four-Colored Divine Light】

【Treasures: Great Way Tree, Three Jade Precious, Immortal Slaying Sword, Heaven Earth Jade Tower, Hao Tian Mirror (Fragment)】

【Virtue Crystals: Eight】

【Innate Virtues: 8,176,5672 strands】

【Current Status:】

【.】

As expected!

The annotation behind the Great Way Tree also disappeared.

Qin Zheng's eyes flashed with determination.

At this moment, his cultivation methods and treasures, except for the Hao Tian Mirror, were all complete, with no more imperfections.

After these transformations, although he had reached the peak of his current realm and could not progress further, his strength had once again improved.

So, instead of rushing to leave, he carefully contemplated the various changes within his body.

Time passed slowly.

After an unknown duration, Qin Zheng's consciousness finally returned to the outside world.

T

Q

After speaking, he took a step and instantly disappeared from this dormant realm.

After seven days of seclusion here, unaware of the changes in the outside world, he needed to return to the Sea of Rules first to stabilize those sealed elders.

Vast Continent.

Thick demonic clouds covered the sky dome, and demonic energy condensed into a black dragon, roaring wildly as it surged.

Ever since the Dragon Clan's Primordial Chaos revival, the situation on the Vast Continent had instantly changed, with the Dragon Clan dominating and rapidly expanding its territory.

Meanwhile, the Spirit Mountain Bodhimanda remained hidden, the Immortal Deities ignored secular matters, and the human Immortal Dynasty suffered the most from the Dragon Clan's interference.

However, the human Immortal Dynasty's Holy Emperor possessed exceptional means, able to withstand several attacks from the Dragon Clan's Primordial Chaos without falling.

Furthermore, with the Water and Land Dharma Assembly three thousand years later, the need to invoke the Heavenly Dao through human means would cause the three Primordial Chaos positions on the Vast Continent to manifest.

Thus, after this revived Dragon Clan Primordial Chaos member made a simple move, he retreated back into silence.

Although the human Immortal Dynasty remained largely unharmed, the borderlands continuously suffered from demonic calamities, causing the Great Transcendent members and borderland humans to fall one after another.

Until a piece of news spread, instantly stirring up endless storms across the Vast Continent, giving the human clan a chance to catch their breath.

The Sea of Rules is about to give birth to a Primordial Chaos position!

The origin of this news was unknown, but it swept across the entire Vast Continent like a storm.

Primordial Chaos position!

It was the supreme position countless cultivators on the Vast Continent eagerly anticipated!

By occupying a Primordial Chaos position, one could attain enlightenment in Primordial Chaos and become a true towering figure!

At the same time, this was also the ultimate treasure many Primordial Chaos members sought to restore their damaged Dao.

Before this, it was commonly acknowledged on the Vast Continent that there were only three Primordial Chaos positions, and they would only appear three thousand years later.

The number of Great Transcendent Golden Numbers with complete Eightfold Divine Treasury was unknown, and the Primordial Chaos members who descended upon the Vast Continent numbered seventeen.

The three Primordial Chaos positions could not meet the demand, so the only way to obtain a Primordial Chaos position was to—seize it!

The Great Way is about competition!

To attain enlightenment in Primordial Chaos and heal Dao injuries, one must resort to all means and seize it.

For this, the Primordial Chaos members who descended upon the Vast Continent were willing to make early arrangements, passing down their Dao lineages to compete for the three Primordial Chaos positions.

And in the current situation.

The Sea of Rules is about to give birth to a Primordial Chaos position!

It was like a heavenly opportunity, beyond everyone's expectations.

Thus, in an instant, the originally peaceful Vast Continent erupted into a vortex of turmoil! Various powers stirred like a storm.

Endless Demonic Lands, deep within the Demonic Court.

A majestic figure stood in the grand hall, their true appearance obscured by the interplay of reality and illusion.

And in the faint outline, one could see an endless Great Way surrounding their body.

Terrifying pressure emanated from them, forcing the numerous figures in the hall to prostrate on the ground, unable to lift their heads.

"Where did this news come from? Is it true or false?"

The majestic figure sitting high above supported their face with one hand, gazing down indifferently at the figures below, and slowly spoke.

Their voice resonated like the sound of the Great Way, causing the prostrated figures below to tremble with each word.

As he finished his sentence, the many figures below were already drenched in sweat, their faces pale.

"According to the old ancestor, this news came from Jade Void Palace. They originally planned to use it to heal the Dao wounds of Daoxing Tianzun, but somehow it leaked out."

"Our strength is insufficient, and we could only gather this much information. Please forgive us, old ancestor."

The goat-bearded man with a fan and turban struggled under the terrifying pressure above, speaking with difficulty.

Mingyue's expression remained indifferent, showing no response.

As a Primordial Chaos being, he could naturally sense the origin of this news with a single thought.

So the previous sentence, which seemed to be questioning the figures below, was actually a form of self-talk.

Sea of Rules, Primordial Throne

He knew the strangeness of that Sea of Rules, but he had never linked it to the Primordial Throne.

After all, how could a complete and blank Great Dao be nurtured within a chaotic and fragmented sea of rules, and how could it give birth to a Primordial Throne?

Not only him, but all the Primordial Chaos beings who descended upon the Vast Continent, had likely never considered this possibility.

But why would Jade Void Palace spread such rumors? What purpose could it serve?

This question had been on Mingyue's mind for days.

No matter how he tried to deduce or guess, he couldn't find the answer.

Even though he knew it was just a rumor, he couldn't help but feel a desire to explore the Sea of Rules.

It was a Primordial Throne! If he could obtain it, his Dao wounds would be completely healed, and he might even advance further by breaking through and rebuilding.

Even if it was just a rumor, and no Primordial Throne would be born in the Sea of Rules, it wouldn't be a bad thing for him.

After all, Jade Void Palace couldn't use this time to take the three Primordial Thrones that were about to be born in the Vast Continent.

Those three Primordial Thrones wouldn't manifest in the heavens for another three thousand years, and their current location was still unknown.

In fact, due to the current awakening, only he and the Sixth Ancestor of the Buddhist Sect had an inherent advantage over the other Primordial Chaos beings.

Numerous thoughts raced through his mind.

At this moment, he suddenly raised his head, his gaze piercing through layers of the void, towards the ancient temple in the Sea of Rules.

Perhaps it was because of the Sixth Ancestor's revival, but his gaze couldn't enter the temple as it had before.

When his gaze fell upon the temple, the mist in that area of the sea became even denser, completely obscuring the temple.

Mingyue's eyes narrowed slightly, and he withdrew his gaze, looking towards the Spirit Mountain Buddhist Sect hidden in a corner of the Vast Continent.

Something was amiss! Why did the Sixth Ancestor of the Buddhist Sect remain in the Sea of Rules after his revival instead of returning to the Vast Continent?

According to common sense, the Vast Continent should be their habitat and dwelling place.

Did that old fellow discover something? Almost as soon as this thought flashed through his mind, his figure vanished from its original spot and appeared in the Sea of Rules, before the ancient temple.

"What have you sensed?"

He didn't enter the temple but stood in the void, speaking calmly.

As he spoke, his perception spread beneath him towards the Sea of Rules, but he couldn't sense any changes beyond the chaotic and unbearable rules.

Just as he finished speaking—

Whoosh!

Streams of Buddha light appeared out of thin air, forming a monk with his palms pressed together, who replied, "What do you mean, Layman Mingyue?"

"Hmph!"

Mingyue snorted coldly and continued, "I don't believe you haven't heard the rumors from Jade Void Palace."

Upon hearing this, the Sixth Ancestor smiled and said, "If you know it's just a rumor, why worry about it?"

Mingyue's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he coldly laughed, "Whether it's a rumor or not, from today onwards, I will stay in this Sea of Rules."

"Now that only you and I have revived, if you tell me what you've discovered, we can join forces and take it first."

"But if you want to keep it for yourself, I won't let you have your way!"

The Sixth Ancestor's expression remained unchanged, but a hint of hesitation appeared in his eyes, which Mingyue noticed and became certain.

After a few breaths, the hesitation in the Sixth Ancestor's eyes disappeared, and he slowly spoke, looking at Mingyue, "I have discovered..."

Before he could finish his sentence, he suddenly turned his head towards a chaotic void outside the Sea of Rules.

Mingyue did the same, and a murderous intent appeared on his face as he coldly said, "This evil incarnation dares to show itself!"
