Chapter 501: What Makes You Think You Can Make a Deal with Me?
The cold voice carried an unquestionable authority, instantly silencing the atmosphere in the room.

"The Azure Heaven Mirror has already chosen its master. Even if we were to forcibly take it, we may not gain its assistance, and instead, we would only anger Qin Zheng, resulting in a loss."
The youth frowned slightly and immediately retorted, "How can we know without trying? The Azure Heaven Mirror has been with you for millions of years; surely, there must be some connection between you and it."
The white-robed youth, who had spoken first, added, "We don't intend to take his treasure by force. The truth is that his cultivation level is insufficient to fully unleash the power of the treasure."
"We can promise him that we only need to borrow the Azure Heaven Mirror for now. Once he advances to the Ultimate HuanYuan, we will return this divine artifact to him."
"Moreover, you are currently at a critical juncture. With the Azure Heaven Mirror in your possession, you should be able to reach the Legendary Realm faster. You should understand the significance of having a legendary figure on our side."
The big-eared monk clasped his hands together and chanted a low Buddhist mantra, then spoke, "During the great change in the Nine Heavens, we were caught off guard and could only escape with a faint essence spirit."
"Although we have reincarnated and cultivated anew, we are still a considerable distance away from the Dao Realm. Only you, Daoxing, managed to escape with severe injuries but did not truly perish. With the help of the Azure Heaven Mirror, you have cultivated for millions of years and are just a step away from becoming a legend."
"If you achieve the Legendary Realm, we will have more confidence when facing the Heavenly Court. We won't have to hide and can actively search for fellow cultivators who have reincarnated and cultivated anew."
The stern-faced man remained silent.
The old goat-bearded Daoist wanted to speak but stopped himself.
The cold youth spoke up again, "The Slaying Deity Sword Formation is known as the number one killing formation in the world. Currently, besides the formation diagram, there is only one real sword, the Xianxian Sword, among the four. The other three swords are extraordinary but merely serve as placeholders."
"That young man possesses the Immortal Slaying Sword, which is the main sword of the formation. Once he returns, the power of the formation can be increased by seventy percent!"
"At that time, with Jin Ling controlling the sword formation, he might be able to defeat a legendary figure from the Heavenly Court!"
"We won't take his things without offering something in return. With our resources, we can provide several Transcendent Divine Armaments of the same level. He can choose any of them as a replacement."
If it were an ordinary child of destiny seeking to enhance their side's strength, making promises and deals would be reasonable. But Qin Zheng was no ordinary child of destiny!
To be able to cultivate upwards from a sealed realm, establish a foundation with the Three Pure Ones, and gain the recognition of their divine artifacts, one must be favored by the Dao essence left behind by the Three Pure Ones.
Such a person could not possibly be an ordinary child of destiny! Moreover, the Azure Heaven Mirror is a Semi-Transcendent Divine Artifact. It has been in his possession for millions of years without recognizing a master. He could only borrow its power.
H
In this situation, as long as Qin Zheng is unwilling, even if they forcibly take the Azure Heaven Mirror, they will surely be unable to unleash its divine might.

At these words, the cold youth shook his head and replied, "The Great Dharmic Lord is indeed powerful, but it is still far from the Primordial Realm. This doesn't prove anything."
D
The cold youth's expression froze.
The others' faces changed instantly.
The significance of cultivating from the Dalo Tianshu to the Grand Dharmic Lord in ten years is vastly different from cultivating from the Primordial Novice to the Primordial Upper Realm in the same amount of time! The latter is a million times more challenging than the former. Even those who have reincarnated and cultivated anew cannot achieve the Primordial Upper Realm in ten years from the Primordial Novice!

"What this represents is clear to all of us. Unlike us, who are bound by the heavens and earth, he can leave the Thirty-Three Heavens and roam the Chaotic Sea with freedom and ease."
The bearded old Daoist's eyes narrowed, and he quickly asked, "Isn't he a being born from the Pangu Grand World?"
Daoxing Celestial Master shook his head and replied thoughtfully, "I've traced his origins, and indeed, he was born in the Yuan Origin Abyss, a fleeting small realm."
"However, his essence spirit seems to have been tampered with. Unlike us, he is not bound to this realm. He is like an entirely independent being."
"He can achieve enlightenment anywhere, unfettered by the heavens and earth, and his enlightenment won't lead to the realm's advancement."
These words caused the few present to reflect deeply, their eyes glimmering with realization.
The stern-faced man hesitated before speaking, "Could it be the Azure Heaven Mirror?"
All beings born in a realm are inherently bound to the essence of that realm. Only upon reaching the Beyond Shore can one truly break free from these shackles.
But the Azure Heaven Mirror is a Half-step Transcendent Divine Artifact, even more extraordinary than the Beyond Shore. Perhaps it can free Qin Zheng from these bonds.
Daoxing Celestial Master nodded and said, "The Azure Heaven Mirror governs the void. With its recognition and by becoming its master, one might be able to break free from the heavens' constraints."
The group fell silent.
The cold youth pondered for a moment and then shook his head, "Let's not consider the Azure Heaven Mirror for now. But the Immortal Slaying Sword is of great significance and should not be discarded lightly."
The white-robed youth nodded in agreement, "The Immortal Slaying Sword, when integrated into the formation, not only enhances the power of the sword formation by seventy percent but also shortens the time for me to reach the Legendary Realm."
Daoxing Celestial Master wanted to say more, but the stern-faced man shook his head, "Let's meet with Qin Zheng first, and then we can discuss other matters."
The group nodded in agreement.
Suddenly, the white-robed youth spoke up, "My junior disciple, upon hearing of the Immortal Slaying Sword's arrival, has already quietly gone ahead to meet with Qin Zheng."
Daoxing Celestial Master sighed and said, "I understand your urgency, but Qin Zheng is no ordinary man. We should not impose our own concepts upon him."
"If he leaves, we might lose our chance to turn the tide!"
After saying this, Daoxing Celestial Master took the lead and stepped into the void, leaving this realm and heading towards the Yuan Origin Abyss.
Shi Jingxuan was waiting at the entrance of the Yuan Origin Abyss, confident that no one could meet with Qin Zheng before him.
However, as this thought crossed his mind, a sudden surge of determination filled him. Daoxing Celestial Master's expression changed, and with a sigh, he said, "Alas, Stone Daoist friend!"
Inside the Yuan Origin Abyss, a separate space filled with dense and profound energy had been created.
In the center of this space sat a figure enveloped in the shadow of the Great Dao, their aura visibly intensifying with each passing moment.
After an unknown duration, the figure's eyes slowly opened, revealing a gaze that seemed to contain the sun, moon, stars, and all living beings.
"Celestial Dew of the Grand Dao," Qin Zheng murmured to himself.
With eighty thousand Virtue Crystals, he had purified eight drops of Celestial Dew, and his newly consolidated Upper Primordial cultivation had taken a solid step towards Ultimate HuanYuan.
In terms of quantity, he had achieved about eighty to ninety percent of his goal. Qin Zheng's thoughts turned to this, and he slowly extended his hand. A black orb the size of a man's fist appeared in his palm.
[Pollution Orb detected: A source of evil and chaos, twisted and impure. Can be purified with thirty-one Virtue Crystals. Proceed with purification?]
[Note: Purification will yield thirty-one drops of the extraordinary item, Celestial Dew of the Grand Dao.]
[.]
The Pollution Orb was formed from the condensation of Polluted Qi. The Polluted Qi from the previous slaying of the Four Great Heavenly Kings, Thundergod and Thundermother, and numerous Heavenly Soldiers had all been guided by Qin Zheng into the black orb.
Thus, the eight drops of Celestial Dew, which should have been reduced to seven, had now increased to thirty-one drops! Qin Zheng's eyes glimmered.
Combining the eight drops he had just integrated and the thirty-one drops yet to be purified, he was only sixty drops away from his goal of one hundred!
With sufficient Virtue Crystals, the advancement to Ultimate HuanYuan seemed not far off. Qin Zheng chuckled and shook his head, then closed his hand, storing the black orb and retrieving the Azure Heaven Mirror.
Having completed his cultivation for now, he decided to check on his clones.
Hum! The Azure Heaven Mirror trembled slightly, its surface rippling like a lake, and a realm filled with the power of rules slowly emerged.
At the very heart of this world, a dragon egg pulsated and expanded, each pulsation drawing in a vast amount of Rule Power.
Within the egg, the Ten Thousand Dao Body lay dormant, its aura reaching the pinnacle of the Primordial Novice Realm. It was just a hair's breadth away from breaking through the barrier and advancing to the Primordial Intermediate Realm.
Qin Zheng's thoughts raced as he considered the rapid progress of the Ten Thousand Dao Body with sufficient Rule Power.
As these thoughts crossed his mind, the image on the Azure Heaven Mirror shifted once more.
In the vast and dim hall, a majestic Emperor, clad in a black dragon robe, sat atop a throne. By his side, a majestic Ink Kirin lay sprawled, its divine might permeating the air.
"Hmm?"
Qin Zheng was taken aback by this unexpected scene. A profound insight suddenly flooded his mind.
"Good! Good! Good!"
Qin Zheng burst into laughter, slapping his palms together.
His first clone, the one that most closely resembled him, had chosen a path that, if successful, could make it nearly as powerful as the Ten Thousand Dao Body.
Two clones, two Legends! He must not fall behind his clone!
The image on the mirror slowly dissipated, and Qin Zheng was about to use the power of the Azure Heaven Mirror to cultivate.
He didn't solely rely on the Celestial Dew of the Grand Dao; even without it, he was confident in his ability to break through the Ultimate HuanYuan and attain the Legendary Realm. It would just take a bit longer, that's all.
Qin Zheng calmed his restless thoughts.
But at that moment—
Hum!
A peculiar aura intruded into his senses, rapidly spreading throughout the entire Yuan Dong Heaven at an incredible speed.
Ultimate HuanYuan?
Qin Zheng opened his eyes, his eyebrows lifting slightly as he traced the source of this aura.
There stood a blue-faced man, holding a purple thunder hammer, from which purple lightning continuously emanated, quickly enveloping the entire Yuan Dong Heaven.
A Dao Realm Divine Artifact!
The moment Qin Zheng laid eyes on the purple thunder hammer, a thought flashed through his mind.
The blue-faced man's eyebrows furrowed, and he shouted, "Since you share our disdain for the Heavenly Court, why do you hide and not show yourself?"
The blue-faced man's divine might was awe-inspiring, his aura no weaker than the Ultimate HuanYuan. With the Dao Realm Divine Artifact in hand, his sweeping aura made every living being in the Yuan Dong Heaven tremble as if the end of the world was upon them.
Qin Zheng realized that this man had likely come to test him, aiming to acquire the Slaying Deity Sword and the Azure Heaven Mirror.

Qi Yanzong's heart trembled, but as Qin Zheng didn't appear, he decided to step forward and inquire about the blue-faced man's purpose.
However, upon seeing that it wasn't Qin Zheng but an incomplete Grand Dharmic Lord, the blue-faced man's eyebrows furrowed, and he impatiently shouted, "Get lost!"
His voice thundered like a divine decree.
Qi Yanzong's face turned ashen in an instant.
The gap between them was immense. Even without a direct attack, the blue-faced man's impatient shout alone was enough to inflict a devastating blow on Qi Yanzong.
The Dharmic Treasury and the Dao Palace swiftly cracked, and his life force visibly plummeted.
A single word could kill a Grand Dharmic Lord!
Just as Qi Yanzong's innate spirit light was about to fade into darkness, a warm and profound power emerged from nothingness, swiftly flooding into his body.
The cracks in the Dharmic Treasury and the Dao Palace healed, and the dim spirit light shone with divine brilliance once more. His fading life force surged back with renewed vigor.
In an instant, Qi Yanzong felt as if he had walked through the gates of death and returned to life.
Before he could recover from the shock, the blue-faced man roared with laughter, "You've finally shown yourself. I've come to propose a trade with you."
"This purple thunder hammer in my hand is a Creation-level Dao Realm Divine Artifact. I offer it in exchange for your Slaying Deity Sword and Azure Heaven Mirror. Hand them over!"
The blue-faced man's voice echoed through the void.
Qin Zheng stepped out from behind Qi Yanzong, and the Azure Heaven Mirror above his head emitted a beam of light, instantly binding the blue-faced man, rendering him immobile.
Qin Zheng took a step forward, grabbing the man's head in his hand, and said calmly, "What makes you think you can make a deal with me?"
As his words fell—
Bang!
The man's head exploded!
