Chapter 486: Negotiating with Qin Tianzun!
2024-12-01
"You insignificant mortal, don't even think about me helping you. I advise you to release me now, or else!"
On the way back to the countryside.
Jiang Daliu was still in a daze, but the little snake coiled around his shoulder was chattering incessantly.
Upon closer inspection, the snake had antlers, fish scales, a serpentine body, and eagle claws—it was a true dragon!
"Did you hear that?!"
The little snake flicked its long tail, striking Jiang Daliu's face and leaving a red mark.
"Ahh!"
Jiang Daliu snapped out of his daze in pain and quickly said, "The Celestial Venerable has already sealed you as my Guardian Beast!"
"Our souls are intertwined, and our lives are linked. Even if I release you now, you won't live more than a few decades!"
"Moreover, the Celestial Venerable also said..."
Before Jiang Daliu could finish his sentence, the dragon demon impatiently interrupted, "Enough! I understand! Stop talking!"
Jiang Daliu opened his mouth but remained silent, and both of them fell into a state of silence.
At this moment, their thoughts were vastly different.
Jiang Daliu's mind was filled with admiration for the Celestial Venerable, an extraordinary figure who had sealed a true dragon of the Great Transcendent level as his Guardian Beast!
Although Jiang Daliu's knowledge was limited, and he didn't know what the Great Transcendent level meant, he remembered the dragon's previous form and knew it was powerful.
Even without the mirror fragment, he had gained a rare opportunity in the world. Wealth, honor, and beautiful women were all waiting for him!
Jiang Daliu's heart was filled with sweet anticipation.
In contrast, the dragon demon was in a state of extreme agitation!
Bound to an insignificant mortal, its dignity was secondary to the fact that its infinite lifespan was now tied to a mere human.
According to the strange Celestial Venerable, their lives were interconnected after the binding. To ensure its survival, it had to assist this human in becoming stronger and prevent any accidental deaths.
The dragon demon had never experienced such treatment, and its heart was filled with resentment and anger.
Nine Yang Grand World.
Great Qian Dynasty, Yangshan Domain.
A figure in a golden-patterned black robe appeared in the center of this grand domain's central city.
According to the dragon demon, there were thirty-three Primordial Ranks in this world, and the Great Qian Dynasty and its noble families occupied most of them.
The Yangshan Domain beneath his feet was the territory of one of these Primordial Rank families.
The Great Qian Jin Clan, with a Primordial Rank ancestor, had countless Great Transcendent followers and was one of the top forces in the Nine Yang World.
Qin Zheng strode forward, each step covering a thousand miles, as he crossed the city.
Soon, a palace-like golden mansion appeared before him.
In front of the hundred-foot-tall vermillion gate stood two Gate Guardians, each several dozen feet tall, exuding an aura of the Great Transcendent level.
This place, belonging to the Great Qian Jin Clan, was rarely visited by ordinary people, making it eerily quiet.
Qin Zheng's appearance here was thus conspicuous.
The two Great Transcendent Gate Guardians lowered their gaze, their pupils flashing with golden light, and shouted, "Who dares to approach!"
Two intense auras of the Great Transcendent level pressed down without restraint.
Any existence below the Great Transcendent level would have been crushed instantly by these auras, with no hope of survival.
However, to Qin Zheng, the pressure from the two Great Transcendent Gate Guardians was no different from a gentle breeze.
The two Gate Guardians, witnessing Qin Zheng's calmness, tightened their grip on their weapons and took a step forward.
Qin Zheng's gaze moved past the gate, as if seeing deep into the inner city, and then he calmly replied, "I have come to retrieve something."
After speaking, he took a step towards the hundred-foot-tall gate.
The two Gate Guardians reacted immediately.
One swung the broad-bladed Treasure Sword, blocking the gate, while the other raised a bronze hammer and struck it upwards, creating a loud collision.
"Without a name, entry is forbidden!"
Boom!!!
The Gate Guardian holding the Treasure Sword spoke with a solemn voice, and the sound of the bronze hammer's collision echoed throughout the area.
Unable to sense Qin Zheng's aura, they couldn't gauge his strength. The best approach was to have one Guardian intercept Qin Zheng while the other informed stronger cultivators of his presence."
In response to their actions, several powerful auras rose within the inner city and instantly descended before the gate.
Three Great Transcendent Primordial Ranks, two Great Transcendent Golden Ranks, and the two Gate Guardians—a total of seven Great Transcendent cultivators—stood there, looking down.
"Who dares to be so bold and reckless, attempting to forcefully enter our Jin Mansion!" A loud voice boomed from a Great Transcendent Golden Immortal.
Seven Great Transcendent auras, like seven heavy hammers, suddenly slammed towards Qin Zheng.
But then, a calm voice rang out:
"Come down."
Boom! Boom! Boom!
In an instant, seven Great Transcendent figures were smashed into the ground, two Gate Guardians, several dozen zhang tall, also sank into the earth, leaving only their heads exposed.
Without a trace of aura or movement, these two words alone caused the seven Great Transcendent figures to instantly lose their resistance.
The loud commotion of the Great Transcendent figures being smashed into the ground reverberated instantly.
Boom!
Within the Jin Mansion, a powerful aura shot into the sky, causing dark clouds to gather and winds to howl, as if a slumbering ancient beast had awakened, unleashing an incredibly terrifying aura.
However, to Qin Zheng, these Great Transcendent auras were not much stronger than a mortal's fist.
With his hands behind his back, Qin Zheng calmly strode forward and entered the Jin Mansion.
In the eyes of the Great Transcendent figures, it was as if Qin Zheng was invisible, as they frantically searched for his trace.
The Jin Mansion was larger than the city outside, but Qin Zheng, with his extraordinary speed, reached the Jin Patriarch in just nine steps.
"The Nine Sun World welcomes your arrival, Your Excellency."
The Jin Patriarch was not an old man but a stunningly beautiful woman, smiling gently at Qin Zheng without a hint of hostility.
From her words, it was clear she had guessed Qin Zheng's identity.
The thirty-three Primordial Chaos of the Nine Sun Grand World knew each other well; there shouldn't be a stranger among them.
Even if someone cultivated in secret, they couldn't quietly attain enlightenment, so the sudden appearance of a stranger could only mean they were from beyond the sky.
However, she was puzzled; the arrival of an Extra-Terrestrial Primordial should have been noticed earlier.
Qin Zheng didn't explain, as the Azure Heaven Mirror concealed his aura. Without his consent, no one beneath the Dao Realm could sense his presence.
So, after descending into this world, no Primordial Chaos had detected him, and he had appeared directly before them.
Qin Zheng smiled in response, then without further ado, said, "Fellow Daoist, I request something from you."
The Jin Patriarch's smile remained as she slowly replied, "Fellow Daoist, you have come from beyond the sky. Your request is granted."
Qin Zheng nodded, extending his hand, and said calmly, "Then please, give me the Great Sun Fragment."
Silence fell for a moment.
The Jin Patriarch shook her head lightly, her soft voice responding, "Although I don't know how you learned of the Great Sun Fragment..."
"As a Primordial Novice, I indeed lack the qualifications to possess the Great Sun Fragment."
"Fellow Daoist, you might have the wrong person."
With her last words, she smiled at Qin Zheng.
Qin Zheng sighed softly, then extended both hands and continued, "If you don't have it, do any of the other fellow Daoists have it?"
The moment these words fell—
Boom!
Above the Jin Mansion, thunder rumbled, and lightning flashed as if a thunder dragon was stirring within the dark clouds.
An overwhelming aura, like a collapsing sky, quickly spread throughout the heavens and earth.
The Great Transcendent figures, who had been searching for Qin Zheng, stopped and looked up at the sky.
"Fellow Daoist, you have quite the audacity. We went through countless trials to obtain the Great Sun Fragment. Now that you ask for it, you must take it by force?"
Three figures with boundless auras, exuding profound and mysterious Dao energy, slowly descended upon the Jin Mansion.
Among them, a figure in a dark robe, with red lips and white teeth, stared into the depths of the Jin Mansion and spoke coldly.
Another middle-aged man in white, with a hint of sarcasm, said, "Fellow Daoist, you carry the aura of the Great Sun Fragment."
"I suggest you generously share your Great Sun Fragment with us."
"Then you can leave safely."
The last figure was a haggard old man, who didn't speak but looked anxiously towards the Jin Mansion.
Deep within the Jin Mansion, the Jin Patriarch, as beautiful as a young girl, smiled even more brightly.
She looked at Qin Zheng and said with a gentle smile, "Fellow Daoist, if you don't leave some treasures behind, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave."
"Qin Zheng's expression remained calm, as if waiting for something. After a few breaths, he spoke with a hint of disappointment, 'Is that all?'"
The Patriarch of the Jin clan, Jin Laozu, furrowed his brows.
"How dare you!"
A thunderous roar shook the sky above Yangshan Domain, causing the entire area to tremble. The young man took the lead, reaching into the depths of the Jin Estate.
In that moment, it seemed as if space had inverted, and the vast Jin Estate shrunk to the size of a palm, falling into the young man's grasp.
At the same time, Jin Laozu took a step back, as if trying to escape the boundaries of the Jin Estate, leaving only Qin Zheng behind.
But at that moment, Qin Zheng remained calm, taking a step forward and reaching out to grab Jin Laozu.
Seeing his action, a mocking smile appeared on Jin Laozu's lips, but it quickly froze.
Time and causality seemed to blur, and Qin Zheng's hand had somehow grasped her neck, as if holding a puppy by the scruff!
Humiliation and rage surged within her.
As she attempted to resist, Qin Zheng took a step, carrying her away from the depths of the Jin Estate.
In the sky above, the Primordial being, appearing as a young man, stared at the Jin Estate in his palm and was about to crush it.
"Be careful, Yuantian Daoist!"
Suddenly, a warning sounded in his mind.
He turned and saw a towering giant, and realized he was standing in the giant's palm! When had this happened?
Shock filled his heart, and five Heaven Pillars rose swiftly, about to enclose him.
Bang! Qin Zheng clenched his left hand, holding Jin Laozu by the neck with his right, and turned to face the other two Primordials.
In the blink of an eye, the two Primordial beings lost their resistance, leaving the remaining two Primordials astonished.
"Primordial Chaos!" exclaimed the haggard old man, and without hesitation, he turned and fled into the void.
The white-robed middle-aged man had already stepped into the void before Qin Zheng turned.
But as ripples appeared, the two reappeared before Qin Zheng.
Seeing Qin Zheng, they first showed surprise, then turned and re-entered the void.
With their Primordial power, they could appear anywhere in this world with a thought, but in the next instant, they reappeared where they had been.
Their expressions changed from surprise to solemnity, and they stopped fleeing, asking Qin Zheng with gravity, 'What are you trying to do?'"
They didn't know what means he had used, but this space was indeed isolated, and their powers couldn't break free.
Qin Zheng casually threw the two Primordials aside, and they fell like meteors, their powers sealed.
He turned to the two Primordials before him and calmly said, 'I want the Great Sun Fragment from you.'"
After obtaining the nearly complete Azure Heaven Mirror and with his own Primordial cultivation, the isolated space was enough to restrict the Primordials.
When Qin Zheng asked Jin Laozu, 'Is that all?' this space had already been separated from the original world.
His goal was only the Azure Heaven Mirror fragment, and he didn't want to massacre the Primordials in this realm, so he didn't kill the four.
Hearing his demand, the white-robed man seemed to want to resist, but the haggard old man decisively threw out a mirror fragment.
The old man spoke calmly, "I only have this one Great Sun Fragment. I hope you can forgive me."
Qin Zheng took it, quickly refining and absorbing it into his Inner World, merging it with the Azure Heaven Mirror.
The old man was surprised to see the Great Sun Fragment, nurtured for millions of years, severed from him in an instant, but he said nothing.
The white-robed man hesitated, then took out a mirror fragment, as if to hand it to Qin Zheng.
But in the next moment, the man's eyes hardened, and the mirror fragment shot out a beam of Annihilation Light, striking Qin Zheng.
The white-robed man's face lit up with joy, but only for a moment, as his expression froze.
The Annihilation Light, powered by the Great Sun Fragment, failed to harm Qin Zheng.
"I..."
He opened his mouth to speak.
But Qin Zheng took a step, and with a palm strike to the man's head, the Primordial Chaos Dao Aura covered him, erasing him instantly.
A palm strike killed a Primordial! The old man, witnessing this, felt both shock and relief at surviving.
