Chapter 488: Celestial Heaven Clan! Bloodline Descendants!

"I only have this one!"

Despite his reluctance, Sima Shi had no choice but to hand over his 'Great Sun Fragment'.

Qin Zheng's eyes lit up slightly as he took the two Heaven Mirror Fragments into his hands, immediately refining them and integrating them into the Heaven Mirror within his Inner World.

A glance inward revealed that the gap in the Heaven Mirror had become even smaller.

Previously, the gap was about one-fifth of the entire mirror's surface, but now it had shrunk to about one-tenth of its size.

It wouldn't take much longer to completely restore the Heaven Mirror.

Qin Zheng thought this, then his mind returned, and he looked at the two Primordial Great Powers in front of him, nodding and smiling, "I appreciate your help, Fellow Daoists."

Sima Shi's face darkened upon hearing this.

Yuwen Yue, however, gently shook his head and calmly said, "Fellow Daoist came from Beyond the Sky and is determined to find the Heaven Mirror Fragments. I assume you have obtained the Heaven Mirror elsewhere."

Even though Qin Zheng had come to his door and taken the Heaven Mirror Fragment from him, Yuwen Yue did not harbor any resentment, maintaining his calmness.

Qin Zheng nodded frankly and continued, "This object is of great importance to me, which is why I descended to this world to collect the fragments from all of you."

As he spoke, he snapped his fingers, releasing the Fortune Dragon from its seal.

Moo!!

In an instant, the weather changed dramatically!

The furious and majestic dragon's roar echoed over the Imperial Capital, causing all the living beings in the Great Heavenly Capital to tremble with fear.

Yuwen Yue remained calm, reaching out and lightly tapping the air, causing a palm-sized Fortune Dragon to coalesce in front of him.

The moment it manifested, the miniature Fortune Dragon quickly turned around and bared its teeth at Qin Zheng.

"It's alright, nothing to worry about."

Yuwen Yue gently stroked the dragon's body, speaking in a soothing tone.

Qin Zheng also stood up at this moment, saying, "Thank you for your generosity, Fellow Daoists. I won't stay any longer."

There were thirty-three Primordial Great Powers in the Nine Yang World, and he had only found twenty so far, still needing to find thirteen more.

But just as he was about to leave, Yuwen Yue's voice sounded again, "Please wait a moment, Fellow Daoist."

Qin Zheng paused his departure and looked at the young man opposite him, asking, "Do you have something else, Fellow Daoist?"

Yuwen Yue gently stroked the Fortune Dragon and slowly shook his head, saying, "It's not my matter, but yours."

Qin Zheng's eyes narrowed slightly.

Yuwen Yue continued, "There are twenty-four Primordial Great Powers within the Great Heavenly Empire, five from the imperial family, and nineteen from other noble clans and sects."

"And the Heaven Mirror Fragments of the imperial family are all in my possession, so all the Heaven Mirror Fragments within the Great Heavenly Empire are now in your hands."

Qin Zheng nodded in response, saying, "Thank you for the information, Fellow Daoist. It saves me a lot of trouble."

But Yuwen Yue shook his head again, continuing, "I want to tell you that while the Heaven Mirror Fragments within the Great Heavenly Empire are relatively easy to obtain, those outside the empire are not."

"Unless you can truly suppress a Primordial Great Power, it would be unwise to venture out recklessly, as it could be dangerous!"

Yuwen Yue's expression and tone became extremely serious as he finished speaking.

Qin Zheng's eyes flickered slightly.

According to the dragon demon, there were two Primordial Great Powers in the Nine Yang World, and the one in front of him was one of them.

Based on what this one was saying, the other Primordial Great Power would not easily give up the Heaven Mirror Fragment and might even try to seize Qin Zheng's Heaven Mirror.

He wasn't afraid of confronting a Primordial Great Power, but if it came to a life-or-death struggle, the cost of suppressing the opponent would be significant.

So he looked at the young man in front of him and asked again, "Could you elaborate, Fellow Daoist?"

Sima Shi sneered and said, "Fellow Daoist just took our 'Great Sun Fragment.' Can you really trust what we say now?"

Qin Zheng did not respond, and Yuwen Yue sternly said, "Fellow Daoist Sima, be careful with your words!"

"Hmph!"

Sima Shi coldly snorted and said no more.

Yuwen Yue then continued, "Fellow Daoist came from Beyond the Sky, so you might not be very familiar with the Nine Yang World."

"Originally, the Nine Yang World was just a Three-Star Great World, with the strongest beings only reaching the Immortal Realm."

"Eighteen million years ago, the Heaven Mirror fell into this world, and at that time, the Nine Suns were in the sky, casting divine light, directly elevating several Heaven Immortals to the Taiyi Realm."

"Since then, this world has been renamed the Nine Yang World, and under the blessings of the Heaven Mirror, it has ascended to a Six-Star Great World."

Qin Zheng nodded slowly, finding this information consistent with what the dragon demon had said, not particularly surprising.

But the next moment, Yuwen Yue's expression became more serious, and he said, "However, what fell into the Nine Yang World was not just the Heaven Mirror!"

Qin Zheng's expression tightened slightly as he listened to the other continue, "At that time, a drop of divine blood also fell!"

"The origin of that divine blood is unknown, but after landing in the Nine Yang World, it attached itself to the human race and quietly developed in the shadows."

"It was a thousand years after the Azure Heaven Mirror's arrival that it manifested once more, appearing in the mortal realm and declaring itself as the Celestial Heaven Clan."

"Over the next million years, he further propagated his lineage, giving birth to eight more clan members."

"In their minds, the Azure Heaven Mirror is their Sacred Artifact, and we are merely thieves."

"If you were to rashly confront them and demand the Heaven Mirror Fragment, you would likely provoke their collective wrath and attack."

Yuwen Yue paused, his gaze fixed on Qin Zheng, and continued, "One Ultimate Primordial, three Advanced Primordials, and five Middle Realm Primordials."

"Can you, with your strength, suppress so many powerful beings at once?"

Qin Zheng's eyebrows furrowed slightly, but he quickly changed the subject, asking, "Do you know when the Azure Heaven Mirror will manifest next?"

Yuwen Yue's eyebrows lifted slightly, but he immediately replied, "It's been nine hundred and ninety-seven years since the last manifestation of the Azure Heaven Mirror, and there are only three years until the next manifestation."

Qin Zheng nodded, then slowly stood up, facing the youth with a bow. "Thank you, Fellow Daoist, for your information."

Without lingering, he took a step and left this Universe.

The moment he departed, the faint sense of detachment between the Universe dissipated, and the Great Heavenly Capital returned to the Nine Yang World.

"Why did Duke Feng Daoist tell him all this? Why not let him face a calamity to vent our anger!"

Sima Shi immediately stepped forward, perplexed and frustrated.

The youth waved his hand lightly, and a branch from the peach tree in the courtyard slowly descended, dripping aged brew into the wine jar.

In just a few breaths, the wine jar was filled again. The youth reached out, lifted it, and drank straight from the jar.

"Excellent wine!"

The youth's cheeks flushed slightly, and his clear, bright eyes were once again veiled by a layer of intoxication.

Sima Shi's expression shifted, and he sighed with a sense of disappointment, turning to leave.

Just then, the youth's voice rang out again, "The one from the Celestial Heaven Clan is about to attempt to attain the Legendary Realm."

Sima Shi's face changed abruptly, and he quickly turned back to face the youth.

Yuwen Yue took another sip and continued, "He nurtured eight clan members over a million years, not just to expand the clan's numbers."

"He did so to increase and purify the Divine Blood within his body. Now, with nine clan members, he can create life and chaos."

"If I hadn't reminded him, the Heaven Mirror Fragment on his body would have become a tool for the Celestial Heaven Clan."

"I didn't want to see the Celestial Heaven Clan dominate the Nine Yang World and seize the Azure Heaven Mirror, did I?"

Sima Shi's expression grew serious, and he asked, "How did Duke Feng Daoist come to know this?"

"Naturally, it's from the Heaven Mirror Fragment."

The youth shook his head.

Sima Shi's eyebrows knitted together, and he asked with concern, "Can this Extra-Terrestrial Primordial, who's only at the Middle Realm Primordial, defeat the one from the Celestial Heaven Clan?"

Yuwen Yue chuckled, "A mere Middle Realm Primordial can't compare to the Ultimate Primordial, especially one from the Celestial Heaven Clan.

"This one has many tricks up his sleeve, and compared to a true Ultimate Primordial, he's not much weaker. There will be a fierce Dragon and Tiger Battle."

"We just need to sit back and watch, and when they both suffer defeat, we can gain the most with the least effort."

Sima Shi's eyes lit up at these words. His previously furrowed brows relaxed, and a smile appeared in his eyes.

"So that's it!

"Using the Extra-Terrestrial Primordial's hand to stop the one from the Celestial Heaven Clan from attaining the Legendary Realm, and using the Celestial Heaven Clan's hand to keep the Extra-Terrestrial Primordial's Heaven Mirror Fragment!

"Duke Feng Daoist's actions were to balance the power of both sides and prepare for the grand play to come!"

Sima Shi's eyes sparkled as he understood the youth's previous actions.

"Even giving up the 'Great Sun Fragment' was likely to enhance the Extra-Terrestrial Primordial's strength and prevent him from losing too badly."

Yuwen Yue smiled faintly, taking another sip of the peach blossom brew. For a moment, his hazy eyes cleared.

In the brief moments of their previous confrontation, he could sense the other party's resolute determination.

If he hadn't handed over the Heaven Mirror Fragment at the last moment, the other party would have truly taken action, sparing no effort to seize the Heaven Mirror Fragment, even if it meant a fierce battle.

However, how could a Middle Realm Primordial suppress a Primordial Ultimate with just a sealing technique? Yuwen Yue had some doubts, but as the Immortal Brew entered his stomach, these doubts were temporarily suppressed.

Regardless of what the Extra-Terrestrial Primordial relied on, it wouldn't have much impact on him.

He just needed to wait for the two tigers to fight, and then make his final move to become the ultimate winner.

Yuwen Yue fell back into a state of intoxication.

Sima Shi, on the other hand, his eyes flickering, slowly retreated from the small courtyard.

He needed to closely monitor the movements of the Celestial Heaven Clan to be ready to act at any moment and see if he could gain any benefits from the situation.

The small courtyard returned to its peaceful state, with only the praise of the young man and the rustling of the peach tree branches intertwining in the air.

At the same time.

At the border of the Great Dryan Dynasty.

Ripples stirred in the void, and a figure in a Golden Patterned Black Robe stepped out.

Qin Zheng looked beyond the Great Dryan, as if seeing through the vast expanse of the universe to the location of the Celestial Heaven Clan.

However, he did not leave the Great Dryan. Instead, he casually landed on a mountain peak and isolated the heavens and earth with a wave of his hand.

He did not fully trust the information provided by the Primordial Ultimate who appeared as a young man.

Even if the other party claimed to have no ill intentions, he had still taken the Heaven Mirror Fragment from them.

Who would be so benevolent as to warn a thief to be more careful next time after being robbed?

Therefore, the other party's actions must have been part of some plan.

"Celestial Heaven Clan."

Qin Zheng muttered to himself.

Whether from the demon dragon or the young man, the information he received all pointed to the core of the Heaven Mirror descending to this world 18 million years ago.

However, according to the timeline of the Thirty-Three Heavens, it was approximately 3 million years ago that many Beyond-Level beings united to invade the Polluted Realm.

A

But the time difference between 18 million years and 3 million years was too large to reconcile.

Was the time difference due to the difference in time flow between the two worlds?

Or was the Heaven Mirror already damaged when the Beyond-Level beings invaded the Polluted Realm?

If the latter was true, then 18 million years ago, was it when the Heaven God sacrificed himself to dispel the pollution in the Chaotic Sea?

And the divine blood that descended to the Nine Yang World with the core of the Heaven Mirror, was it the blood of the Heaven God or the polluted blood of the Beyond-Level beings at that time?

H

Many thoughts raced through his mind.

After a moment.

Qin Zheng gathered his thoughts.

Regardless of the situation in this world, his goal remained the same: to collect all the core fragments of the Heaven Mirror!

However, he decided to pause his journey and not immediately head to the location of the Celestial Heaven Clan outside the Great Dryan.

Since it would take three years to collect all the core fragments, waiting a bit longer wouldn't matter.

If he acted too hastily, he might fall into someone else's trap, causing unnecessary trouble.

With this in mind, he extended his hand, and a mysterious ancient mirror appeared in his hand.

As more core fragments were restored, the aura emitted by the Heaven Mirror became increasingly mysterious, and its abilities grew more numerous.

Qin Zheng held the ancient mirror, and with a slight thought, two sources of the same aura surged in his mind.

One came from the sky above the Nine Yang World, and the other from a mysterious place outside the Great Dryan.

There were indeed no more Heaven Mirror fragments within the Great Dryan, so the young man had not deceived him.

Qin Zheng nodded slightly. As the Heaven Mirror became more complete, it could now sense the locations of the remaining fragments through its core.

He then directed a thread of his consciousness into his heart sea, looking at the Virtue Scroll.

The third Virtue Technique had indeed given him a great surprise.

Sealing Heaven and Earth, Suppressing All, gave him the true strength to contend with a Primordial Ultimate.

Even without the Treasures of the Three Pure Ones and the Heaven Mirror Fragment, he could calmly fight above his rank.

However, activating this third Virtue Technique had consumed nearly ten years of his Great Dao Essence Energy.

But now, his Great Dao Essence Energy was still abundant, not enough to significantly enhance his cultivation, but more than enough to activate new Virtue Techniques.

Thus, Qin Zheng immediately directed the threads of Great Dao Essence Energy in his inner world to manifest in his heart sea and flow into the Virtue Scroll.
