Chapter 499: Celestial Dew of the Great Dao! The True Spirit of Nezha!

December 14, 2024

【A foul object has been detected: Pollution Orb, twisted and chaotic, the source of corruption. It can be purified using 10,000 Virtue Crystals. Do you wish to purify it?】

【Note: Purification will yield a wondrous item, the Celestial Dew of the Great Dao.】

【Note: A hundred strands of source energy form mist, and a hundred strands of mist condense into dew, which is the essence of the Great Dao's source energy transformed. Consuming it can elevate one's cultivation to the Primordial Chaos!】

【Note: One drop can reach the Intermediate Realm, ten drops the Advanced Realm, a hundred drops the Ultimate Realm, and ten thousand drops the Legendary Realm!】

Qin Zheng's consciousness entered his sea of consciousness and read the contents on the Virtue Scroll, initially falling silent before a wave of euphoria surged through him like a rushing tide.

Celestial Dew of the Great Dao!

A hundred drops to reach the Ultimate Realm, and ten thousand drops to attain the Legendary Realm! After achieving Dao Ascension Primordial Chaos, although he had relied on the Great Dao's source energy to improve, the speed of his progress wasn't as fast as he had imagined.

After a decade of seclusion on the Vast Continent, with the help of the Azure Heaven Mirror's power and the Great Dao's source energy, he still hadn't broken through from the Intermediate Primordial Chaos to the Advanced Primordial Chaos. It was only with the power of a complete Azure Heaven Mirror that he had reached his current stage.

In other words, after advancing to the Primordial Chaos realm, the effectiveness of the Great Dao's source energy was no longer as significant as before. The difference between the Advanced Primordial Chaos and the Ultimate Primordial Chaos was not much different from that of a Grand Dharmic Lord achieving Dao Ascension Primordial Chaos.

Even with the help of the Azure Heaven Mirror, Qin Zheng still had no idea when he would be able to advance to the Ultimate Primordial Chaos.

However, the appearance of the Celestial Dew of the Great Dao at this moment directly cleared away all doubts, clearly revealing the path of his future cultivation.

A hundred drops of Celestial Dew would allow him to achieve the Ultimate Primordial Chaos!

In the current Thirty-Three Heavens, only the Ultimate Primordial Chaos realm, along with the Treasures of the Three Pure Ones and other means, could truly protect one's safety.

Qin Zheng's mind was filled with various thoughts.

Just then, the elder Shi Jingxuan noticed Qin Zheng's silence and furrowed his brows slightly, asking with a more serious tone, "Is there a problem?"

Qin Zheng suppressed his thoughts and, after a moment's reflection, shook his head lightly, "With the power of the Azure Heaven Mirror, it's natural that these polluted energies can be dealt with."

After a brief pause, he continued, "But today is the first time I've seen these polluted energies condensed into orbs, and I'm curious about them."

Shi Jingxuan had escaped his predicament with the help of the Azure Heaven Mirror. On that day, he had witnessed Daoxing Celestial Master using the mirror's power to eradicate the polluted celestial deities of the Heavenly Court.

Shi Jingxuan had taken the initiative to bring Qin Zheng to deal with the polluted energy, most likely because Daoxing Celestial Master had informed him that the Azure Heaven Mirror was currently in Qin Zheng's possession.

After Qin Zheng's reply, Shi Jingxuan's furrowed brows relaxed, as if relieved, and he said, "Then let's begin."

Qin Zheng nodded slightly, and with a thought, a mysterious ancient mirror emitting a radiant aura appeared in his right hand. He then aimed the mirror's surface at the pollution orb.

Whoosh!

In an instant, a dazzling divine light shot out from the mirror's surface. Under its glow, the orb, which had been emitting a twisted and filthy aura, slowly dissolved within Shi Jingxuan's gaze.

Within just a few breaths, the black orb in Qin Zheng's hand completely vanished from the universe.

Shi Jingxuan's eyes widened slightly, and his nose twitched a few times as he confirmed that not a trace of polluted energy remained in the surrounding area. He became even more surprised and asked, "Is it that simple?"

Even he couldn't quickly eradicate the polluted energy, but under the mirror's light, it was resolved so swiftly?

Just as Qin Zheng was about to respond, ripples appeared in front of him, and a voice spoke first, "This is not simple."

Daoxing Celestial Master emerged from the void, shook his head lightly at Shi Jingxuan, and continued, "Using the Azure Heaven Mirror to disperse the polluted energy consumes far more than one can imagine."

After saying this, he turned to Qin Zheng and asked, "How is your condition, Junior Brother?"

Junior Brother? Qin Zheng was slightly surprised by Daoxing Celestial Master's address but didn't think too much of it. He pretended to sense something and shook his head again, "I'm fine."

Qin Zheng hadn't used the Azure Heaven Mirror's power to eradicate the polluted energy. He had only used the mirror to collect the pollution orb into its spatial dimension.

While the Azure Heaven Mirror could eradicate polluted energy, it couldn't purify it into Celestial Dew like the Virtue Scroll. Using the mirror directly would be time-consuming and laborious, and it would also waste a precious opportunity.

The Virtue Scroll couldn't be exposed, so he had no choice but to use the Azure Heaven Mirror as a decoy.

Daoxing Celestial Master nodded slightly, as if deep in thought, and said, "Perhaps it's because the Azure Heaven Mirror is now complete, so the consumption is slightly less than before."

Qin Zheng nodded in agreement.

"Returned, then?"

The old Daoist Shi Jingxuan asked at this moment.

D

Qin Zheng, listening to their conversation, immediately asked, "Celestial, and Senior Shi, are you saying that the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation is suppressing the fellow Daoists who have been polluted?"

D

Qin Zheng then asked, "Why didn't you use the Azure Heaven Mirror to cleanse the pollution from their bodies before, Senior?"

When the strong among their own side were polluted, not only would they lose a portion of their strength, but they would also need to expend an equal amount of strength to guard and protect them, leading to significant losses.

D

"So even though I held the Azure Heaven Mirror before, I could not bear to eliminate the pollution from many Fellow Daoists. I could only use the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation to temporarily suppress it."

Qin Zheng's eyes showed contemplation, while Shi Jingxuan's eyes flickered as he asked, "Can you remove and eliminate the pollution from their lives?"

D

The Azure Heaven Mirror he held was incomplete, so it could not fully unleash its true power. However, the Azure Heaven Mirror in Qin Zheng's hands was complete.

A complete Azure Heaven Mirror would certainly be far more miraculous than the previous incomplete one!

Qin Zheng thought for a moment and then shook his head, saying, "I'm not sure if I can, but perhaps I can give it a try?"

Even with the Virtue Scroll, those he had purified in the past had immediately perished. The only exception was Shi Fanxin.

So Qin Zheng himself could not be certain that the polluted individuals would not perish after purifying the pollution.

D

One had three heads and six arms, emitting a rolling aura of malice.

The other was clad in golden armor, with a dazed expression.

Nezha, Li jing!

These two were more troublesome. Previously, when they were under the watchful eye of the Heavenly Court's Dao Realm, Qin Zheng did not dare to easily use the Azure Heaven Mirror or the Virtue Scroll to cleanse their pollution, so they survived until now.

N

"Evil demon! If you have the courage, don't use Transcedent divine armaments; rely solely on your physical strength to challenge this deity and see who is truly stronger!"

Nezha's physical form had recovered, transforming into three heads and six arms, glaring fiercely at Qin Zheng, his entire body emitting a thick malice, his eyes filled with uncontainable rage.

"Li Jing has never fought with any of you, but with a proud spirit, I will not beg for mercy. Come, thief, and strike me down!"

Li jing also fixed his gaze on Qin Zheng, his chest puffed out, his fine beard gently fluttering, truly exuding an air of dauntless fearlessness.



Qin Zheng was momentarily speechless.

Was he being singled out for provocation because he was the weakest among the three present?

Qin Zheng sighed lightly, then took a step forward to Ne zha, looking down and said, "You said to rely on physical strength. This seat agrees to your challenge."

Ne zha's angry face showed a hint of joy.

Then, in the next moment—

Bang!

One of his heads was instantly kicked to pieces by Qin Zheng.

The remaining two heads first showed shock, then quickly fell into a rage, thick malice rising, even with threads of pollution intertwined.

"Release this deity immediately! Or—"

Bang!

bang!

Two more dull sounds followed, and the other two heads of Ne zha also exploded.

U

Ne zha's body trembled violently, the rolling malice and pollution growing more intense.

Li Jing now fell silent.

Q

I

"The polluted immortals and deities in the Heavenly Court, even after being killed, can still be reborn in the Heavenly Imperial Pool. They cannot be thoroughly destroyed unless the pollution within them is also eliminated."

"But the Heavenly Court's Immortal Gods have their ranks, and even if we eradicate the polluted Qi within them, new Immortal Gods will still emerge in the Heavenly Court."

Qin Zheng's eyes flickered, instantly understanding the implied meaning in DaoxIng Celestial's words.

In other words, even if he were to kill Nezha and Li Jing before him, and then eradicate the polluted Qi within them, the Heavenly Court could still use the polluted Qi to create new versions of Nezha and Li Jing.

This was something he hadn't known before.

"They may no longer be their original selves."

DaoxIng Celestial sighed lightly, but then his tone changed, and he continued, "However, even with the Heavenly Court's control over the polluted power, they cannot arbitrarily bestow the rank of Immortal Gods."

"The rank of Immortal Gods has already been bound. Even if they are not their original selves, after inheriting the rank, there may be a faint trace of their original Essence Spirit entering their bodies."

"Please, little Shixiong, try to see if you can preserve the faint Essence Spirit hidden within the two of them while removing the polluted Qi from their bodies."

Qin Zheng's eyes narrowed slightly. He wasn't even sure if he could save their lives by removing the polluted Qi, let alone how to locate and preserve the faint Essence Spirit hidden within them.

Shi Jingxuan spoke up at this moment, "Try to remove the polluted Qi while keeping them alive. If the remaining Essence Spirit is still within their lives."

Qin Zheng nodded.

Regardless of whether he could preserve the Essence Spirit within the two of them, the polluted Qi in their bodies was indeed a valuable resource for his progress. It was a pity that by killing them, he would only gain six thousand Virtue Crystals.

He took a step forward and directly stepped on Nezha's body, while holding the Azure Heaven Mirror and aiming it at Nezha.

With a thought, a dazzling mirror light descended, completely enveloping Nezha.

Nezha's struggles became more intense, but he couldn't move with Qin Zheng's foot pressing down on him. The evil aura around his body turned into black fog, continuously surging out.

Qin Zheng's eyes narrowed, controlling the Azure Heaven Mirror to extract the polluted Qi from Nezha's body, strand by strand.

DaoxIng Celestial and Shi Jingxuan stood by, one about to step into the Legendary Realm, and the other already a legendary figure. It wouldn't be appropriate to directly use the Virtue Scroll for purification.

Fortunately, they were only extracting the polluted Qi, not dispersing it, so the consumption wasn't too great. At the same time, the complete Azure Heaven Mirror truly demonstrated the power of a Semi-Transcendent Divine Artifact.

Dense and twisted strands of polluted Qi emerged from Nezha's body, swirling and floating above him as if searching for an opportunity to return.

Seeing this, Shi Jingxuan once again extended his right hand, and a Mystic Light appeared. The highly concentrated polluted Qi swiftly flowed into Shi Jingxuan's palm.

As time slowly passed, the polluted Qi extracted from Nezha's body, strand by strand, was even more than the polluted Qi that had previously filled the entire Yuan Cavern Realm.

Qin Zheng's eyes shone with a strange light. As the polluted Qi was drawn out, Nezha's struggles gradually lessened, but there were no signs of his body collapsing.

This was different from what Qin Zheng had experienced when he killed the Heavenly Soldiers earlier.

Could it be that the Azure Heaven Mirror could truly preserve the life of the polluted individual while removing the polluted Qi?

If that were the case, the Powerhouses who had been suppressed by the Immortal Slaying Sword and polluted could return to their senses, freeing Qin Zheng's side from their current predicament!

At this moment, a glimmer of expectation appeared in the eyes of DaoxIng Celestial and Shi Jingxuan.

Only Li Jing had heard the previous conversation and witnessed the current scene, leaving him in awe and his face turning pale.

Time passed, and the light emitted by the Azure Heaven Mirror suddenly burst forth, then quickly retracted in the blink of an eye, returning to its usual state when not activated.

Nezha's body did not disintegrate; it remained intact, lying on the ground motionless, like a corpse.

Qin Zheng lifted his foot from Nezha's body and, with a thought, removed the seal on Nezha.

DaoxIng Celestial also casually sent out a beam of pure light, which entered Nezha's body and lifted the seal.

With the two seals gone, Nezha, who was lying on the ground, quickly recovered from his shattered head, and his body began to tremble slightly.

After a few breaths, Nezha opened his eyes, and a clear and calm voice sounded in everyone's ears, "Shishui?"
