Chapter 505: Advancing to Ultimate HuanYuan!

Chapter 505: Advancing to Ultimate HuanYuan!

In a serene setting, an ancient and enigmatic bronze mirror hung high, emitting a faint glow that separated this realm from the outside world.

Beneath the ancient mirror, a figure clad in a golden-patterned black robe sat in meditation, as boundless heavenly power surged into his body like a relentless flood.

And then, a moment arrived.

Hum!

The ancient mirror trembled slightly, and the infinite heavenly power instantly dissipated, while the cross-legged figure slowly opened his eyes.

Qin Zheng exhaled softly.

At this moment, he had left the Divine Mountain's cave mansion and returned to the Origin Abyss.

The final sword strike had annihilated the 'Pollution Insect,' but the effort to control the Azure Heaven Mirror to purge the polluted Qi and then use the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation to slay the insect had taken a significant toll on his mental strength.

So, after sensing that Taiyi Zhenren's aura had stopped falling and his life was spared, Qin Zheng, exhausted, returned to the Origin Abyss to recuperate and had just barely recovered.

Qin Zheng's thoughts stirred as he recalled this, and Taiyi Zhenren's situation immediately appeared in his mind.

This former legendary powerhouse, one of the Twelve Golden Immortals of Yuxu, had his physical body and soul severely damaged by the polluted Qi, resembling a tree hollowed out by insects.

Although the pollution had been expelled, and his life spared, restoring his legendary power would likely require a long period of recuperation, rendering him unable to exert his full strength in the short term.

As these thoughts crossed his mind, he gently shook his head.

After all, the other party was a legendary powerhouse, and now that the pollution was gone, he was like a fish in a vast ocean or a bird in an open sky. Eventually, he would recover his peak state, so Qin Zheng decided not to overthink it and focus on his own cultivation.

Thus, he gathered his thoughts and began to review the gains from his journey.

Swish!

Streams of immortal light flowed out, and four uniquely shaped treasures appeared before him: the True Martial Great Pill, the Enlightenment Bodhi, the Creation Thunder Essence Orb, and the Mystic Realm Great Dao Pill!

Qin Zheng extended his hand and held the Enlightenment Bodhi in his palm, feeling a cool sensation wash over him, clearing his mind and purifying his thoughts, allowing his mental processes to operate more swiftly.

Indeed, even at the Primordial Novice stage, this Bodhi, plucked from the Buddha's Enlightenment Tree, had such a noticeable effect.

Qin Zheng held it in one hand while his gaze fell upon the remaining three treasures before him.

According to the descriptions in the Virtue Scroll, all three treasures possessed legendary attributes and could enhance cultivation and increase the chances of achieving the legendary realm.

However, with the Celestial Dew of the Grand Dao, a heaven-defying item, he only needed ten thousand drops to attain the legendary realm. Therefore, instead of reserving these treasures for when he was about to reach the legendary stage, the most crucial step was to enhance his cultivation as soon as possible.

Without hesitation, Qin Zheng reached out, first grasping the True Martial Great Pill with the illusion of a turtle and snake, and then placing it in his mouth and swallowing it.

Boom!!

In an instant.

An incredibly high-quality, enigmatic aura burst forth from the True Martial Great Pill, rapidly spreading throughout Qin Zheng's entire body.

Swish, swish, swish!

Within his inner world, the Great Dao Tree swayed wildly, and the Great Dao River that encircled the Dao Palace stretched out, spanning the entire inner world.

As Qin Zheng observed with his spiritual awareness, the True Martial Great Pill he had swallowed gradually became transparent and vanished, reappearing in his inner world, hanging high above the Dao Palace like a great sun.

Within the great sun, a divine being seemed to sit in meditation, its essence reaching infinite heights, gazing down upon the entire inner world and releasing strands of enigmatic aura.

Boom, boom, boom!

The Great Dao River surged violently.

Hum!

The Dao Palace trembled slightly.

Three Daoists emerged from the Dao Palace, each heading towards the source, middle, and end of the Great Dao River before settling into meditation.

The True Martial Great Pill, transformed into a great sun, dimmed its radiance and slowly descended, becoming a red sun. The divine being's shadow within it bowed respectfully to the three Daoists before merging with the red sun and immersing itself in the Great Dao River.

Boom, boom, boom!

The deafening roar reverberated.

Qin Zheng felt an incredibly powerful force surge within him, propelling his transformation towards greater heights!

Swish, swish, swish!

The Great Dao River raged with increasing intensity, and as time passed, it visibly widened, the distance between its source and end rapidly expanding!

However, a single True Martial Great Pill was insufficient to propel Qin Zheng into the Ultimate HuanYuan stage. As time passed, the changes in the Great Dao River gradually ceased.

Without hesitation, Qin Zheng opened his eyes and reached out, grasping the Mystic Realm Great Dao Pill and directly pulling it into his inner world.

A deep hum reverberated as a refreshing and pure light emerged.

After the Great Sun, a bright moon appeared! The Xuanjing Great Dao Pill shone like the moon, emitting a serene light. Within the moon, a stern Dao Palace materialized, and a Daoist cultivator could be seen practicing within.

As the moon descended, similar to the previous True Martial Great Pill, when the moon was about to immerse itself in the Great Dao River, the cultivator's shadow bowed respectfully to the three Daoists above the river.

Then, the moon completely entered the Great Dao River.

A thunderous roar shook the surroundings once more.

The transformation, which was about to cease, seemed to gain new momentum at this moment and continued.

When the moon's power was exhausted, the Great Dao River showed no signs of change, but its length and width had more than doubled from before.

Qin Zheng opened his eyes, gazing at the remaining Creation Thunder Essence Orb. A hint of hesitation and doubt flashed across his mind, but only for an instant before it turned into determination.

The effects of the True Martial Great Pill and the Xuanjing Great Dao Pill were even stronger than he had anticipated. If he continued to refine these precious medicines, he might be able to advance to the Ultimate HuanYuan in one go! Although this Creation Thunder Essence Orb was more suitable for his clone to refine, strengthening his main body was the top priority! Qin Zheng reached out and grasped the orb, squeezing it tightly, and it instantly appeared in his inner world.

Unlike the previous Great Sun and Bright Moon, the Creation Thunder Essence Orb dissolved into a sea of colorful thunder upon entering his inner world.

Vibrant Creation Thunder rippled through the sea, devoid of any sense of calamity or destruction, instead exuding a vibrant and lively aura.

Crackle!

Boom!

A bolt of Creation Thunder descended, striking directly into the Great Dao River.

The Great Dao River churned violently, but its aura intensified.

And so, it continued.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Countless bolts of divine thunder relentlessly struck the Great Dao River.

The transformation was further propelled! Qin Zheng's mind split in two, half immersed in the epiphany of transformation, while the other half observed the river's condition.

Based on the previous refinement of eight drops of Celestial Dew of the Grand Dao, the effects of the True Martial Great Pill were equivalent to thirty drops, and the Xuanjing Great Dao Pill was also worth thirty drops.

However, judging by the current impact of the Creation Thunder Essence Orb, it seemed to fall short of the previous two pills, perhaps equivalent to only twenty-five drops of Celestial Dew.

The combined effects of the three precious medicines were equivalent to refining eighty-five drops of Celestial Dew, plus the initial eight drops, totaling ninety-three drops!

According to the Virtue Scroll's description, one hundred drops of Celestial Dew could lead to the Ultimate HuanYuan. He was now just seven drops away from that goal! And he did possess those seven drops!

Qin Zheng focused his mind, and with a thought, a pearl emitting a twisted and polluted aura appeared before him. Simultaneously, the Virtue Scroll manifested in his sea of consciousness, displaying corresponding words.

[Pollution Orb discovered, twisted and chaotic, a source of corruption. Can be purified, requiring 410,000 Virtue Crystals. Proceed with purification?]



[Note: Purification will yield a treasure, 41 drops of Celestial Dew of the Grand Dao.]



[.]



The original Pollution Orb could be purified to yield thirty-one drops of Celestial Dew, but after expelling the polluted qi from Taiyi Zhenren's body, an additional ten drops were obtained.

Qin Zheng initially thought he wouldn't gain any Virtue Crystals from Taiyi Zhenren, but unexpectedly, a 'Pollution Insect' appeared, and upon its extermination, he acquired 100,000 Virtue Crystals.

At this moment, he could purify ten drops of Celestial Dew!

Ultimate HuanYuan, today is the day! Qin Zheng's thoughts stirred, and he silently spoke within his sea of consciousness, "Consume 100,000 Virtue Crystals to purify the Pollution Orb!"

A deep hum reverberated as the Virtue Scroll radiated boundless Virtue Light, and the Pollution Orb he held in his hand instantly shrank.

Simultaneously, in his inner world, the once vibrant sea of Creation Thunder had diminished, disappearing after the final thunderous strike.

The Great Dao River churned relentlessly, emanating an incredibly vast aura, as if reaching a critical point of transformation.

The three Daoists stood up at this moment, their gazes fixed on the Dao Palace where three Beyond Shore Divine Armaments stirred, intertwining with the cultivators' auras.

The transformation of the Great Dao River reached a critical juncture, teetering on the edge of change. After several breaths of tumultuous churning, its momentum faltered, falling just short.

But in the next instant—

A loud rumbling sound filled the air, like a heavenly downpour.

The Great Dao River, which had momentarily lost its momentum, abruptly halted its descent and surged upwards with even greater force and grandeur.

Hum!

The Dao Palace trembled slightly, and the Treasures of the Three Pure Ones detached, landing in the hands of the three Daoists above the river.

Three distinct yet complementary breaths suddenly permeated the air, swiftly merging and transforming into a complete Chaos Dao Aura.

As the Celestial Dew of the Grand Dao flowed in, the Grand Dao River, amidst the resounding roars, fused with this complete Chaos Dao Aura, instantly unleashing an unparalleled power!

The final transformation was complete!

Qin Zheng's divided mind swiftly reunited, fully immersing himself in this exhilarating metamorphosis.

Meanwhile, on the other side...

A Divine Mountain stood tall, sword light surging, with piercing howls and roars emanating from the cave mansions. As soon as the polluted qi emerged, it was immediately cleansed and eradicated by the sword formation's power.

Outside the Divine Mountain...

Taiyi Zhenren, weak, sat on the ground, silently receiving the messages from within the Divine Mountain. His clear eyes were filled with indescribable complexity.

Knowing he was a monster and seeing himself transformed into one were two very different experiences. Among the voices coming from the Divine Mountain, there was once a time when his voice was among them. A legendary powerhouse, now unable to withstand a few strands of polluted qi, had become this pitiful sight.

His emotions were incredibly complex.

Maitreya Buddha approached Taiyi Zhenren and spoke, "Now that you've escaped the sea of suffering, it's best to leave and recuperate. Avoid the polluted qi's mischief and prevent it from entering your body again."

Taiyi Zhenren retracted his thoughts and gently shook his head, "Having escaped the sea of suffering, I won't fall into it so easily again. Please rest assured, fellow cultivator."

Maitreya Buddha nodded.

Taiyi Zhenren didn't continue gazing at the Divine Mountain but turned to look behind him, scanning the crowd. With a heavy heart, he said, "You've all endured so much these past years!"

The legendary powerhouse, having experienced tribulations and restarted his cultivation, hadn't fully recovered his strength. He had to escape the Heavenly Court's pursuit while protecting and suppressing the polluted beings, including himself.

One could imagine how arduous it had been.

The True Martial Emperor and the others shook their heads. Golden Spirit Mother took a step forward and curiously asked, "Taiyi fellow cultivator, how much power can you exert now?"

D

Others might not know, but he had witnessed his senior brother's condition in the cave mansion. His essence, energy, and spirit were almost entirely eroded, leaving only an empty shell.

It wasn't just about exerting half his strength; even a tenth of it would be a stretch.

Fortunately, the pollution had been removed, sparing his life. The eroded essence, energy, and spirit could eventually be replenished.

T

As everyone's gaze fell upon him, Taiyi Zhenren contemplated for a few breaths before speaking, "The pollution has been in my body for a million years, and my essence, energy, and spirit have long since merged with it."

"Now that the pollution is removed, it's like losing half of my essence, energy, and spirit. So, I can't exert my full strength for the time being."

The group had anticipated this, and they nodded in agreement.

Taiyi Zhenren continued, "However, under normal circumstances, I should be able to exert fifty percent of my power. With some methods, I can temporarily unleash my full strength. There's no need to worry."

Upon hearing this, the group's tension eased, and their spirits lifted.

Fifty percent of a legendary powerhouse's strength was more than enough to confront the Heavenly Court in a normal situation!

That fellow cultivator from the outside world, with only fifty percent of his strength, had caused quite a stir in the Ninefold Heavens. Now, with just forty percent, he could still face off against the Heavenly Court's Dao Realm.



The group had endured millions of years of anxiety, and now a legendary powerhouse had escaped. It was time to showcase his strength and alleviate their long-held worries.

"

D

At that moment, Taiyi Zhenren retracted his gaze, scanned the crowd once more, and curiously asked, "Where is the young friend who removed the polluted qi from me?"

He had been stabbed by Qin Zheng's sword to eradicate the 'Pollution Insect' and had just awakened from a brief coma, unaware of Qin Zheng's departure.

+

Before he could finish...

Vibrant!

A unique Chaos Dao Aura suddenly surged into everyone's perception.

Ultimate HuanYuan?!
