Chapter 526: Manifestation of the Three Purities! Entanglement of Time! Power Beyond Imagination!
2025-01-15
Within the ancient Daoist Monastery, a faint fragrance permeated the air. In the main hall's square, the lid of the alchemy furnace had been lifted, and the Great Pill within had vanished without a trace.
In the hall, a figure clad in a golden-patterned dark robe sat with utmost dignity. With each breath, the figure seemed to merge with the monastery's main hall, emitting the same Dao aura.
Faintly, one could almost see the silhouettes of three Daoists within this figure, and a perfect aura, spanning from the beginning of creation to the ultimate extinction, emanated from the three Daoists.
At this moment, Qin Zheng introspected, continuously adjusting his control over the current power.
Heart Monkey and Mind Horse, heavenly calamities and human disasters, the tribulations of cultivation were both internal and external, but all were resolved within the Clear Light Illusion left by the Supreme Sage of Tai Qing, without causing him the slightest hindrance.
The process of ascending to legend was even easier than he had imagined.
Moreover, the terrifying foundation accumulated from the Great Dao of the Three Purities erupted after his promotion to the legendary realm!
Although Qin Zheng had just stepped into the legendary realm, a conservative estimate would suggest that even ordinary Creation Powerhouses would not be his match!
As of today, he could be considered a formidable force within the Chaos Sea.
Furthermore, with the complete Slaying Deity Sword Formation and the Half-Step Transcendence level Azure Heaven Mirror, even Qin Zheng himself was unsure of the limits of his current strength.
He directed a wisp of his soul into his inner world, where he saw the stars revolving around him, and an ancient Jianmu tree piercing through the heavens and earth, with a supreme Dao Temple resembling the Celestial Palace at its peak.
After ascending to legend, the transformation of the Great Dao Tree was unprecedented, directly growing from thirty-six zhang to over ten thousand zhang, resembling the Jianmu tree that connected the heavens and earth.
As the Great Dao integrated into his body, the river of time transformed into Entanglement of Time, merging with his inner world, and granting this realm the attribute of time.
Simultaneously, Qin Zheng could not only manipulate the flow of time in his inner world but also use it to affect the real world, altering the flow of time within a certain range around him.
Being able to make a moment in the outside world pass as a thousand years within his realm was a divine ability, allowing him to significantly increase his cultivation time.
Qin Zheng couldn't help but think that this ability to control the flow of time was no less than the golden finger he had seen in numerous novels in his previous life. If given to a firm-willed mortal, it might even nurture a formidable cultivator.
However, Qin Zheng had no such intentions or plans, and the Dao Realm was not something that could be cultivated merely by controlling the flow of time. Innate talent and opportunities were both essential, and nurturing a powerful cultivator below the Dao Realm held no meaning.
Qin Zheng's thoughts surged as he continued to gain enlightenment, realizing that adjusting the flow of time was just one of his legendary features. After achieving Creation Perfection, this ability should be further amplified.
By then, he might be able to sense the existence of the river of time, allowing him to travel back and forth through the past and future, and upon reaching the Beyond Shore, he could directly transcend the river of time, existing simultaneously in both the past and the future.
Among the legends and Creation Perfection beings he had encountered, no one had displayed such a capability.
Qin Zheng speculated that perhaps this was related to his inheritance of the Great Dao of the Three Purities, each representing the beginning, the process, and the end, and with the support of the Great Dao Tree, he possessed this extraordinary ability.
Regardless of the true reason, this heaven-defying power was enough to set him apart from ordinary Dao Realm cultivators.
After all, once he could freely travel through the river of time, or even transcend and exist simultaneously in both the past and the future, his combat abilities would surpass the imagination of his peers in the same realm.
By appearing in the weak moments of his peers, he could easily alter their destinies, either by killing them or changing the nodes of their fate.
The only unknown was the price he would have to pay for such actions.
Qin Zheng's thoughts raced, and he withdrew his spiritual consciousness from his inner world, directing it to the Merit Scroll floating in his sea of consciousness.
【Qin Zheng】
【Realm: Dao Realm · Legend】
【Features: Manifestation of the Three Purities, Entanglement of Time】
【Treasures: Great Dao Tree, Azure Heaven Mirror, Slaying Deity Sword Formation, Three Treasures Jade Scepter, Mystic Jade Tower of Heaven, Purple Thunder Hammer】
【Merit Crystal: 578,600】
【.】
The Merit Scroll also underwent changes, losing the 【Cultivation Technique】 and gaining 【Realm】 and 【Features】.
The 【Realm】 was understandable, but what caught Qin Zheng's attention the most was the 【Features】 section, which displayed two abilities: Manifestation of the Three Purities and Entanglement of Time.
The latter represented his ability to slightly control time, while the former was a power Qin Zheng was yet to comprehend. As his thoughts stirred,
Hum!
Three majestic and powerful Dao auras suddenly descended from the infinite heights, transforming into the shadows of three Daoists.
Rumble!
As the shadows of the three Daoists appeared, the entire Daoist Monastery began to shake violently, and at a visible speed, the tremors quickly spread, causing the entire Eight Scenic Palaces to shake along with it.
Just as the three Daoist shadows were about to step into Qin Zheng's body, they suddenly dissipated.
Qin Zheng slowly opened his eyes, and in his newly ascended legendary gaze, there was a look of shock, as well as a hint of fatigue.
Although this hint of fatigue quickly dissipated, it was extremely rare for it to appear in the eyes of a newly ascended legendary powerhouse.
At this moment, Qin Zheng ignored the fatigue and carefully contemplated the recent changes, and then he finally understood the ability of the Three Purities Manifestation.
In short, it was a power similar to summoning a divine being!
But the ones Qin Zheng summoned were the three top Beyond Path beings of the past, the Three Purities Sages, who had now transcended the mortal realm.
The Three Purities Manifestation was the descent of their power, merging into Qin Zheng's body, allowing him to unleash a strength beyond his own limits.
This was an ultimate life-saving ability!
However, the cost of activating this ability was enormous. Just summoning the auras of the Three Purities had nearly consumed half of his essence, energy, and spirit, and they had not yet merged with his body.
It should be known that the essence, energy, and spirit of legendary powerhouses circulate on their own, having long reached a perfect state of equilibrium, where even battles between them could not diminish it in the slightest.
But just summoning the auras of the Three Purities had instantly consumed half of Qin Zheng's essence, energy, and spirit, which was a testament to the enormous cost of this ability.
Fortunately, as a legendary being, recovering his essence, energy, and spirit only took a single breath. In the blink of an eye, Qin Zheng's essence, energy, and spirit were fully restored, and his eyes shone with a brilliant light.
The Three Purities Manifestation and Time Entanglement were both incredibly powerful abilities, and these abilities were known as 'Features'. Qin Zheng wondered if other Dao Realm powerhouses also had their unique features.
Hum!
As Qin Zheng's thoughts stirred, the light and shadows in the grand hall shifted, and the figure of a Daoist appeared before him, looking at Qin Zheng with a hint of surprise.
"Senior."
Qin Zheng, seeing the visitor, quickly gathered his thoughts and spoke.
Xuan Du nodded slightly, scanning the surroundings and seeing no anomalies, he put aside his doubts and turned to Qin Zheng, nodding, "Indeed! How do you feel now?"
Without hesitation, Qin Zheng replied with a slight smile, "More powerful than I had imagined."
Xuan Du didn't question this, but nodded and continued, "You have inherited the Dao of the three teachers, and now that you've reached the Dao Realm, you've fully unleashed this terrifying foundation. It's truly formidable."
"Now, you might be considered the greatest legend throughout history!"
Qin Zheng neither agreed nor disagreed, instead changing the subject, "Senior, after ascending to legend, does one gain a unique ability?"
He wanted to confirm the matter of 'Features'.
Xuan Du nodded and after a moment of contemplation, he spoke, "Upon entering the Dao Realm, every action becomes a divine ability, and it's rare to have a unique skill."
"However..."
"Those with a powerful foundation will indeed manifest exceptional abilities, also known as 'Features'!"
"These are the features of the strong, and they signify the ability to transcend to the Beyond Path!"
At this point, Xuan Du's eyes sparkled as he looked at Qin Zheng and asked, "What feature has the junior disciple awakened?"
He now addressed Qin Zheng as 'junior disciple', and the aura of the teacher that had descended earlier might be related to the junior disciple's feature.
Qin Zheng nodded in understanding and raised his hand, snapping his fingers lightly.
Snap!
The crisp sound echoed through the grand hall, and Xuan Du's eyes instantly focused, then he asked, "Is it related to time?"
Please...Support...Book...6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠBar (Six\\\Nine\\\Book\\\Bar!)
As a Creation Perfection and one who had once transcended the Beyond Path, even in failure, his perspective was beyond that of ordinary powerhouses. He quickly sensed the altered flow of time in the surroundings.
Qin Zheng nodded and replied, "My feature is called Time Entanglement, and it allows me to slightly alter the flow of time within a small range around me."
"For us, ten years in this grand hall are equivalent to a mere instant outside."
The Three Purities Manifestation was a secret technique, and unless faced with the most difficult of predicaments, Qin Zheng had no intention of revealing this ability.
Xuan Du nodded, unsure if he had noticed Qin Zheng's concealment, and continued, "Time is one of the most powerful laws, and it is difficult to alter."
"You have inherited the Great Dao of the three teachers, and with such a powerful awakening, your strength will receive another significant boost."
Dao cultivation cannot be measured by time alone. Aside from one's innate talent and comprehension, the most crucial factor is relying on fate and creation. Therefore, extending cultivation time doesn't hold much significance for Qin Zheng.
However, when facing enemies, this ability will bring about an immense enhancement—the ability to interfere with the speed of the opponent's attacks.
For instance, if a Mythical Level powerhouse were to strike at Qin Zheng, their fist might move like a flash of lightning, but as it nears Qin Zheng, it would slow down under the influence of time, as if trapped in a quagmire.
Qin Zheng could then effortlessly counter the attack, no longer caught off guard by the enemy's sudden and violent assault.
With this ability, even when facing multiple equally powerful opponents, he could easily take them all on without feeling overwhelmed by the siege.
Xuan Du realized this, which was why he said that this ability would greatly enhance Qin Zheng's strength. Qin Zheng understood this as well.
Xuan Du paused slightly before continuing, "Now that you've ascended to the legendary realm, and with your tribulation resolved, you don't need to leave to face it. What are your plans from now on?"
Qin Zheng thought for a moment, then extended his hand, and with a flip of his palm, a golden goblet appeared in his hand.
Buzz!
A surge of vital energy filled the Eight Scenic Palaces, and a sense of murderous intent quickly rushed towards the golden goblet. But Qin Zheng merely waved his hand, and this murderous intent dissipated.
Xuan Du's eyebrows twitched slightly.
Qin Zheng's gaze intensified as he continued, "First, I'll kill these Mythical Level beings, and then I'll head to the Thirty-Three Heavens."
Within the golden goblet were the Celestial Dao Realms, all of Mythical Level, that had been trapped by Guang Chengzi's Fan Tian Seal during the great battle and knocked unconscious.
Xuan Du was slightly surprised and said, "When you return to the Thirty-Three Heavens, aren't you afraid that the Celestial Emperor will strike again?"
Qin Zheng slowly shook his head and pointed at the golden goblet. A beam of light emerged from it and then fell in front of Qin Zheng.
Blazing flames erupted, and a dense Mythical Level aura burst forth, instantly unleashing boundless divine might that rushed towards Qin Zheng's face.
Qin Zheng extended a single hand, as if grasping a young child, and effortlessly dispersed the crimson flames surrounding the Red Emperor. Then, with a palm strike to his forehead, he forced the Red Emperor to kneel.
"He's just an avatar, not the true body. I feared him when I was in the Primordial Chaos, but now that I've reached the legendary realm, why should I still fear him?"
Qin Zheng shook his head and spoke, then raised his palm slightly before slamming it down.
Boom!
The Mythical Level Red Emperor shattered under Qin Zheng's palm strike, and the rolling pollution aura was instantly absorbed into the Azure Heaven Mirror's spatial dimension.
In his sea of consciousness, the Virtue Scroll had already appeared with a line of words.
[Southern Red Emperor (Fake), Formed from Pollution, Condemned by Heaven and Earth, Kill to Obtain a Million Merit Crystals!]
A Mythical Level being was equivalent to a hundred drops of Heavenly Dew of the Great Dao, which was much less than what Qin Zheng had anticipated.
Qin Zheng pointed at the golden goblet again, releasing another Celestial Mythical Level being, and then repeated the process, killing it instantly.
Xuan Du watched Qin Zheng's actions, and even though he had expected it, he couldn't help but feel amazed.
A Celestial Mythical Level being was still a Mythical Level being, but at this moment, in Qin Zheng's hands, it was no different from an ant. He could kill them with a mere strike, making it hard to believe they were of the same realm!
However, recalling his encounter with the Celestial Emperor's avatar ten years ago, when he had borrowed Sun Wukong and Yang Jian's help, Xuan Du still offered a reminder, "Although it's just an avatar, it's not an ordinary being with perfect creation."
"You..."
Boom!
Qin Zheng killed another Mythical Level being, using the Azure Heaven Mirror to absorb the pollution aura, and then he smiled and said, "Rest assured, Senior. With the complete Slaying Deity Sword Formation and the Azure Heaven Mirror, even if I can't defeat that guy, escaping won't be a problem."
Xuan Du nodded in agreement. This was something he could confirm. After Qin Zheng's promotion to the legendary realm, his metamorphosis and improvement were astonishing, even to Xuan Du.
The Great Dao of the Three Purities could directly lead one to the Other Shore and even transcendence.
But Qin Zheng, having inherited the Great Dao of the Three Purities, had an incredibly deep foundation, and its sudden eruption exceeded even Xuan Du's expectations as a senior disciple of the Xuanmen.
With just an avatar, along with the Azure Heaven Mirror and the Slaying Deity Sword Formation, winning might be uncertain, but escaping was indeed feasible.
Qin Zheng then released the Eternal Emperor and struck him with a palm to his forehead, forcing him to kneel. He then calmly asked, "Where is the pollution in the Celestial Realm hidden?"
