Chapter 519: Purging Pollution! The Heavenly Court's Arrival! (Second Update)
2025-01-07
Humm!
The power of the sword formation enveloped the Divine Mountain, creating an intense aura.
Qin Zheng, within a secluded cave abode, controlled the power of the Azure Heaven Mirror, continuously extracting polluted Qi from his body.
With his current cultivation realm, the difficulty of removing the polluted Qi was far easier than before, and thus, he didn't seem to exert much effort.
As time passed, strands of pitch-black polluted Qi were slowly extracted, merging and condensing into a pearl.
Half an hour later, the last strand of polluted Qi was drawn out. Qin Zheng grabbed the Slaying Demon Sword, ignoring the shocked gaze of the Golden Spirit Holy Mother, and directly thrust the sword into the opponent's forehead.
The pollution worm was not always located in the heart but could appear anywhere in the body, though the heart and brain were the most common sites.
After a few breaths...
Swish!
Qin Zheng withdrew the Slaying Demon Sword and collected the polluted pearl from the void, storing it within the Azure Heaven Mirror. Then, he turned and left the cave abode, heading towards the next one.
The Golden Spirit Holy Mother, startled, quickly looked towards the figure that had just been stabbed in the forehead. She saw their aura slowly rising, and their eyes gradually becoming clear and bright.
Why did he need to deliver that final strike?
A doubt arose in his mind, but he quickly suppressed it, only to approach and support the fellow cultivator who had just been purged of pollution and was now in a state of extreme weakness.
Not all those sealed within the Divine Mountain were Dao Realm experts; many were also below the Dao Realm.
However, after millions of years, these Primordial experts had long been assimilated by the pollution, and even Qin Zheng couldn't remove the pollution to save their lives.
Regarding such beings, after much discussion among the powerful cultivators, the only choice was to have Qin Zheng continue extracting and eradicating the polluted Qi.
As time went by, Qin Zheng accumulated more and more polluted Qi, and the merit crystals obtained from slaying the pollution worms also continued to increase.
At this moment, outside the Divine Mountain...
Tai Yi Zhenren, along with several other powerful cultivators, gazed at the Divine Mountain beneath the Slaying Demon Sword Formation with complex expressions.
As Qin Zheng entered and exited each cave abode, the polluted aura emanating from the Divine Mountain gradually weakened, as they could sense.
They felt both joy and helpless sorrow in their hearts.
After a million years, the Dao Realm Powerhouses could still resist the polluted aura, but those below the Dao Realm had long been assimilated and could only be annihilated along with the pollution.
This was somewhat cruel.
Dao Xing Tianzun spoke up at the right moment, "Once we overthrow the Heavenly Court and Xuan Du Master ascends to the Beyond, perhaps we can retrieve them from the river of time and revive them."
The group nodded in agreement.
Tai Yi Zhenren turned his gaze towards the top of the Divine Mountain and said, "Inside the Divine Mountain, there are only Primordial cultivators, and among them, only nine are in the Dao Realm. Four have already been rescued, leaving just five remaining inside."
"If Little Junior Brother can rescue the remaining five and with the aid of the Immortal Pills of the Great Sage Tai Qing, we can swiftly restore their cultivation. Our numbers in the Dao Realm will then surpass that of the Heavenly Court!"
Tai Yi Zhenren's eyes shone with determination.
True Martial Emperor spoke with a fervent tone, "If my memory serves me right, the one at the very top of the Divine Mountain should be a Creation Realm expert, right?"
Dao Xing Tianzun gently nodded, his eyes reflecting a mix of reminiscence and complexity, and said, "Master Guang Chengzi, indeed, is a Creation Realm expert."
The most powerful cultivator within this Divine Mountain was none other than Guang Chengzi, one of the Twelve Golden Immortals of Jade Purity.
"However..."
A hint of hesitation flashed in Dao Xing Tianzun's eyes, and he continued, "I'm not sure if Little Junior Brother's current abilities are sufficient to purge Master Guang Chengzi of the polluted Qi."
The Slaying Demon Sword Formation couldn't suppress a Creation Realm expert, so for a million years, Guang Chengzi had sealed himself within the Divine Mountain, and his current state was unknown.
Qin Zheng, though infinitely close to the Legend Realm, was not yet a legend himself. He was merely a Primordial Boundless expert, and the gap between him and a Creation Realm expert was significant.
If Guang Chengzi's condition had deteriorated, a single mishap might put Qin Zheng in grave danger.
Tai Yi Zhenren, however, remained calm and said, "When the time comes to purge Master Guang Chengzi of the polluted Qi, we can hand over control of the Slaying Demon Sword Formation to Little Junior Brother."
With the power of the Slaying Demon Sword Formation, they could exert Creation Realm might, enough to suppress Guang Chengzi, a Creation Realm expert weakened by the pollution's invasion.
The group nodded in agreement, then once again focused their attention on the Divine Mountain across from them, awaiting Qin Zheng to purge the pollution one by one.
Time passed slowly.
Within a few hours...
The remaining five Dao Realm experts were also purged of the pollution within their bodies and escorted out by the Golden Spirit Holy Mother.
One by one, the four Legend Realm experts were brought out and sent to the prepared seclusion chambers. They consumed the pills refined by the Sage, supporting their cultivation, and their recovery began.
At this moment, the polluted Qi within the Divine Mountain had weakened to an extreme, as the only one remaining inside was the Creation Realm expert, Guang Chengzi, at the highest point.
Inside the Divine Mountain...
Qin Zheng did not leave the cave abode but sat in meditation to recover from his exertion.
The Golden Spirit Holy Mother stood guard by his side after escorting the cultivators out.
Humm!
Ripples spread across the void.
As Daoxing Tianzun's figure appeared, Qin Zheng opened his eyes and looked towards Daoxing Tianzun, awaiting the words of this newly ascended legend.
"The next one is Guang Cheng, a Creation-level divine ability user," Daoxing Tianzun stated directly, then turned to Qin Zheng, continuing, "With your current abilities, can you purge the polluted Qi from your body?"
Qin Zheng's eyes slightly narrowed, pondering for a moment before slowly responding, "I should be able to give it a try."
At this, Daoxing Tianzun nodded and turned to Jin Ling Shengmu, saying, "Jin Ling, you can return for now. From here on, I'll guard our junior."
Jin Ling Shengmu nodded and with a flip of her palm, a miniature Slaying Deity Sword Formation appeared, which she then handed to Daoxing Tianzun.
"Junior, be cautious," Jin Ling Shengmu instructed Qin Zheng before turning and leaving the cave abode.
At this moment, Daoxing Tianzun didn't hold the sword formation in his palm but instead turned and handed it to Qin Zheng.
Qin Zheng was slightly taken aback, but as he held the sword formation, he felt the infinite power it contained. His expression gradually grew solemn, and he spoke, "Is it really that dangerous?"
With the Slaying Deity Sword Formation in his possession, if anything were to happen, he could rely on its protection.
Daoxing Tianzun shook his head, calmly replying, "I'm not sure."
"Guang Cheng is a Creation-level powerhouse. Before you arrived, the Slaying Deity Sword Formation couldn't suppress him, so he's been self-sealing. We're also unaware of his current situation."
"Perhaps his condition is even better, or perhaps it's worse. In any case, anything is possible, but be careful not to make any major mistakes. First, take control of the Slaying Deity Sword Formation."
Hearing this, Qin Zheng nodded, clenching his fist to absorb the sword formation. The moment he did, he felt the formation's control enter his mind.
"Take some time to calm yourself," Daoxing Tianzun said, then turned and left the cave abode, arriving at the highest cave abode on the Divine Mountain. He sat cross-legged in mid-air.
Qin Zheng, on the other hand, reached out and took out a jet-black orb filled with dense pollution.
He examined the orb, and a message appeared:
[Polluted Object: Pollution Orb, Twisted and Corrupted Source, Can be Purified, Requires 1130,000 Virtue Crystals, Purify?]
[Note: Purification can grant a Rare Artifact: Heavenly Dew of the Great Dao, 113 drops]
[.]
[Qin Zheng]
[Cultivation Method: Yuan Shi Golden Scroll, Dao Scripture of Purity]
[Treasures: Great Dao Tree, Azure Heaven Mirror, Three Treasures Jade Will, Slaying Deity Sword Formation, Heaven Earth Jade Tower, Purple Lightning Hammer]
[Virtue Crystals: 786,000]
[Current Status.]
[.]
Not enough!
Far from enough!
Qin Zheng sighed softly within.
With the polluted Qi gathered from the entire Divine Mountain, he could only purify 113 drops of the Heavenly Dew of the Great Dao, let alone his own 780,000 Virtue Crystals.
At this moment, he deeply realized the magnitude of his gains from the Eight Scenic Palaces.
Qin Zheng organized his thoughts, storing the Pollution Orb in the Azure Heaven Mirror, and then he calmed his mind and began to cultivate.
Time flew by once more.
Seven days later, Qin Zheng opened his eyes, and as a radiant light shone, he stood up and stepped out of the cave abode, leaping to the peak of the Divine Mountain.
The moment his figure appeared, Daoxing Tianzun also opened his eyes, and the hearts of the numerous powerful beings around the Divine Mountain stirred.
The final step, will it succeed?!
In the eyes of the crowd, there was both tension and anticipation.
Creation-level!
If Guang Cheng could truly be restored, their side's strength would surpass the Heavenly Court, offering a chance to turn the tide! At this moment, even Qin Zheng's heart held a hint of tension, but he firmly took a step towards the cave abode.
The polluted Qi and the Virtue Crystals were still far from sufficient, but Qin Zheng believed that with a Creation-level powerhouse, there would be different gains!
He stretched out his hand and placed it on the door of the cave abode.
Boom!!
An incredibly vast and intense sense of pollution instantly surged through the door, attempting to pull him into the pollution.
At this moment, Qin Zheng felt like he was riding a small boat, sailing on an endless, dark ocean. The black seawater rose into towering waves, threatening to engulf him.
But at this critical moment, the Azure Heaven Mirror suddenly shone, instantly dispersing the polluted intent and allowing Qin Zheng to recover from the illusion.
It was truly different!
Qin Zheng's expression turned solemn.
However, the hand he had placed on the door began to exert force, slowly opening the cave abode's entrance.
Boom!
An intense tremor erupted.
Starting from the cave abode, it spread across the Divine Mountain and then to the four directions, causing the entire world to shake violently.
Daoxing Tianzun's expression grew grave, and he was about to take a step forward to stand beside Qin Zheng.
But at that moment—
Something's wrong!
His heart skipped a beat, and Tai Yi Zhenren, outside the Divine Mountain, felt the same.
The next moment, a deafening boom exploded, tearing through the void like paper. A terrifying aura that shook heaven and earth appeared.
"You bunch of scum! Hiding here!"
Changsheng Dadi coldly spoke.
