Chapter 530: Divine Ancestral Heritage, Divine Ancestral Blood

Chapter 530: Divine Ancestral Heritage, Divine Ancestral Blood

Consciousness was hazy and indistinct, unable to discern the surroundings, only feeling enveloped in layers of mist. He could only continue to sink into this place until a glimmer of pure light appeared.

Splash!

Qin Zheng suddenly opened his eyes, and before he could sense the environment around him, intense pain surged from all over his body, instantly occupying his entire mind.

Even though he had already stepped into the legendary realm, the relentless pain throughout his body still caused him to furrow his brows slightly.

"You're awake."

At this moment, a calm figure appeared beside him, and Qin Zheng turned to see an identical face.

The Ten Thousand Path Avatar continued calmly, "Your injuries are too severe, and you can't enter the Eight Scenic Palaces. I could only call upon you in the Dark Void using the power of the Azure Heaven Mirror, randomly teleporting us to this world."

"It's been 478 days since we arrived in this world, and you've been asleep for more than a year."

Upon hearing this, Qin Zheng's brows furrowed even deeper, and in his mind, memories of the battle with the Celestial Emperor at the Celestial Imperial Pool surfaced.

The feature of [Manifestation of the Three Pure Ones] was indeed powerful, directly pushing his realm from the initial legendary stage to the completion of creation.

As his realm ascended, his combat power naturally rose with it, far surpassing the ordinary completion of creation. His final punch directly shattered the Celestial Palace, causing countless heavenly palaces to fall from the Nine Heavens!

However, the Celestial Emperor was indeed extraordinary. Although he couldn't block Qin Zheng's final punch, his last-ditch effort in retaliation also left Qin Zheng with significant injuries.

Moreover, while the feature of [Manifestation of the Three Pure Ones] was powerful, obtaining such immense power naturally required bearing an equal price.

Therefore, after Qin Zheng's punch shattered the Celestial Emperor, the injuries and price he suffered combined, almost causing him to lose control of his realm, and he plummeted from the legendary stage back to the Primordial Chaos stage.

In that instant, the only thing Qin Zheng could think of was the nearby Eight Scenic Palaces, where there were numerous immortal pills refined by the Ta Qing Sages, which could stabilize his injuries.

However, he didn't know if it was the Celestial Emperor's intention, but the backup plan he left behind erupted at that moment, and the formation surrounding the Eight Scenic Palaces severed the void passage leading to it.

At that time, Qin Zheng also lacked the strength to resist the formation, and in his panic, he could only use the Azure Heaven Mirror to summon the Ten Thousand Path Avatar, teleporting the two of them to a random location in the Chaos Sea.

After that, Qin Zheng fell into the Dark Void, losing all subsequent memories until he woke up just now.

Qin Zheng organized his memories in his mind while simultaneously examining his own state with his spiritual sense.

Deficient!

Visibly deficient!

His soul and body no longer felt full, as if nine-tenths of their essence had been drained, leaving behind only an empty shell!

Especially the palm print on his chest seemed to be embedded in his soul and body, continuously spreading a force of decay, preventing Qin Zheng's legendary-level self-healing ability from taking effect.

When his soul entered the inner world again, he saw the Cosmic Tree that spanned the heavens and earth, no longer glowing but instead looking listless and enveloped in a layer of grayish energy.

With his current strength, it was likely less than one-fifth of his peak power!

Qin Zheng's heart sank, and he withdrew his spiritual sense from the inner world, turning his gaze to the sea of consciousness.

[Qin Zheng]



[Realm: Dao Realm - Legendary]



[Features: Manifestation of the Three Pure Ones, Time Entanglement]



[Merit Techniques: Traverse Heavens, Enlightenment Insight, Yin-Yang Transformation]



[Treasures: Cosmic Tree, Azure Heaven Mirror, Slaying Deity Sword Formation, Three Jeweled Precious Ruyi, Mystic Yellow Jade Tower, Purple Lightning Hammer]



[Merit Crystals: 3,588,070]



[.]



The virtue scroll underwent another change, and the [Merit Techniques], which used to be listed separately, now appeared in his information.

Moreover, the third merit technique, which had been incubating for decades, finally appeared, listed after 'Enlightenment Insight'!

Yin-Yang Transformation, what a grand name!

Qin Zheng's heart sank, and the abilities of this merit technique also appeared in his mind, causing his expression to become slightly strange.

Traverse Heavens allowed him to freely cross through the heavens and earth and even descend upon specific worlds based on unique marks.

Enlightenment Insight enabled him to gain insights and trace the Dao of an item's previous owner through the spiritual imprints embedded within it.

Yin-Yang Transformation could disrupt the yin and yang, allowing the yang soul to control the yin body, which meant that he could control corpses with this merit technique?

What was the point of that?

Was he supposed to control corpses to deal with the Celestial Emperor?

Were there Mythical Level corpses in the Chaos Sea?

Qin Zheng furrowed his brows slightly, feeling a hint of disappointment towards this merit technique.

After only a fleeting moment, he quickly adjusted his mindset. The power of the Merit Scroll was undeniable, and this new Merit Technique must have its unique qualities, perhaps something he had yet to discover.

Qin Zheng dismissed his thoughts and continued reading. He saw that the Merit Crystals had now reached over thirty million!

After ascending to Legend, he hadn't tested if the Heavenly Dew of the Great Dao was still effective for cultivation, but he was certain it could heal injuries.

With over thirty million Merit Crystals and the polluted Qi stored in the Azure Heaven Mirror, it was enough to convert all the Merit Crystals into Heavenly Dew of the Great Dao.

Such a vast amount of Heavenly Dew should be sufficient to heal his injuries.

Qin Zheng's mind raced with thoughts, and his heavy mood lightened.

He opened his eyes again, and the Ten Thousand Path Avatars still sat before him, calmly breathing and absorbing the power of the laws between heaven and earth.

"Where is this place?" Qin Zheng asked. As he spoke, he flipped his wrist, and the Azure Heaven Mirror appeared in his palm, emitting a beam of light that fell onto his heart.

A sizzling sound filled the air as dark smoke rapidly emerged.

The Celestial Emperor's remaining power on his heart, which had lingered for over a year, had already been significantly weakened by his own strength. Now, under the effect of the Azure Heaven Mirror, it was completely expelled.

Without the interference of the Celestial Emperor's residual power, the injury on his heart would no longer resist his body's self-healing abilities.

Immediately after, the Merit Scroll in his Sea of Consciousness glowed with treasure light. It swiftly transformed the polluted Qi in the Azure Heaven Mirror into drops of Heavenly Dew of the Great Dao, which directly descended into his Inner World, nourishing the withered Cosmic Tree.

At the same time, the voice of the Ten Thousand Path Avatars slowly sounded, "This is a Seven-Star Great World called Green Fortune. Its strongest expert is the Ancestor of the Green Fortune Dao Sect, a Mythical Level powerhouse."

"When you and I were transported here, we almost got detected by him. It was the Azure Heaven Mirror that actively concealed us, tricking his perception."

Qin Zheng nodded in agreement.

The Endless Chaos Sea was boundless, and although Dao Realm experts were rare, they did exist. It wasn't surprising that this world also had a Mythical Level Dao Realm expert.

The Ten Thousand Path Avatars' cultivation was insufficient, and they needed to be cautious in hiding their presence to avoid being discovered by the Mythical Level expert of this world. However, Qin Zheng had no such worries.

At this moment, the Heavenly Dew of the Great Dao poured down like a torrential rain within his Inner World, continuously nourishing the Cosmic Tree, and his aura grew stronger. It wouldn't be long before he could return to his peak state.

After a few moments of silence, Qin Zheng synchronized his memories with the Ten Thousand Path Avatars, grasping everything that had happened during his slumber. Then, he spoke, "You've worked hard. Go back to your cultivation."

As he spoke, he manipulated the Azure Heaven Mirror with his thoughts, and a spatial passageway appeared between the two of them.

The Ten Thousand Path Avatars nodded and stood up. A shadow of a sword array emerged from their palm, which they handed to Qin Zheng. Without hesitation, they stepped into the spatial passageway.

During Qin Zheng's year of slumber, the control of the Slaying Deity Sword Formation had been transferred to the Ten Thousand Path Body to prevent any accidents or interventions from Dao Realm experts.

When the Ten Thousand Path Avatars returned to their cultivation site, the spatial passageway slowly disappeared before Qin Zheng's eyes. Instead of leaving the quiet room, he waved his hand, isolating this world.

The Slaying Deity Sword Formation surrounded the four directions, the Mystic Yellow Jade Tower hung above his head, and the Three Jeweled Precious Ruyi moved like a swimming fish, followed by the Purple Lightning Hammer, which flashed with deep purple thunder power.

With all preparations in place, Qin Zheng controlled the Azure Heaven Mirror, and a piece of tattered cloth slowly emerged from the mirror's surface.

A gush of intense pollution intent instantly emanated from the tattered cloth fragment.

Qin Zheng's expression turned solemn, and with a thought, he temporarily halted the purification of the Heavenly Dew of the Great Dao, keeping the Merit Crystals in reserve to deal with any unexpected changes.

Please...collect...6...9...book....!

This tattered cloth fragment came from the source of pollution in the Celestial Court. When intact, it possessed the power to nurture Legends, and perhaps even beyond!

Because the Gou Chen Emperor was also born from pollution, not merely infected by it, it's highly likely that he was also nurtured by this tattered cloth!

A divine object capable of nurturing a Creation Great Power must be far beyond the Other Shore level, even surpassing semi-transcendence like the Azure Heaven Mirror. It is a true transcendent divine artifact!

Qin Zheng's thoughts raced, and the tattered cloth fragment emitted pollution intent, but no further reaction occurred until Qin Zheng touched it.

Huaaah!!

An intense chill emanated from the torn burial cloth, followed by a thick and pure aura of pollution. Like a greedy evil wolf, it swiftly traveled along Qin Zheng's hand that touched the cloth, infiltrating his flesh and soul.

But in the next instant—

Vibrant!

The virtue scroll trembled slightly, and an immeasurably vast and majestic force emanated from it, instantly purging the pollution that had entered Qin Zheng's body.

At the same time, lines of text rapidly appeared on the virtue scroll.

[Impurity Detected: Burial Cloth Fragment. An ordinary burial cloth transformed by the blood of the Divine Ancient, becoming a Spiritual Ancient Divine Soldier. It carries the malice of the Divine Ancient and can pollute an entire realm. Cannot be purified!]



[Impurity Detected: Burial Cloth Fragment. An ordinary burial cloth transformed by the blood of the Divine Ancient, becoming a Spiritual Ancient Divine Soldier. It carries the malice of the Divine Ancient and can pollute an entire realm. Can be purified. Purification requires one hundred billion merit crystals!]



[Note: Purification can grant the Dao Art - Divine Ancestral Heritage (partial)]



[Note: Purification can grant the Wonder - Divine Ancestral Blood (fragment)]



[Note: Purification can grant the Wonder - Memories of the Abyss Clan (partial)]



[Impurity Detected: Burial Cloth Fragment. An ordinary burial cloth transformed by the blood of the Divine Ancient, becoming a Spiritual Ancient Divine Soldier. It carries the malice of the Divine Ancient and can pollute an entire realm.]



[Note: Can consume one million merit crystals to perform the Merit Art - Enlightenment Insight, allowing one to view fragments of the Abyss Clan's memories!]



The information on the virtue scroll changed several times, initially stating that purification was impossible, then changing to indicate that purification was possible, and finally providing additional hints. This was the first time Qin Zheng had encountered such a situation.

However, Qin Zheng did not delve deeper. His attention was immediately drawn to the information displayed on the virtue scroll.

For now, let's set aside the one hundred billion merit crystals.

Divine Ancestral Heritage, Divine Ancestral Blood, and memories of the Abyss Clan—these three rewards from purification instantly accelerated Qin Zheng's heartbeat without him even realizing it.

Especially the Divine Ancestral Heritage and Divine Ancestral Blood!

Although he still couldn't confirm what exactly 'Spiritual Ancient' and 'Divine Ancient' referred to, Qin Zheng was certain that these two rewards from purification must belong to a realm beyond transcendence!

The attraction he felt from the depths of his soul was like a hungry person's craving for food, desperately yearning to obtain these two things.

Alas, one hundred billion merit crystals!

Even if he slew the Celestial Emperor and thoroughly purged the pollution in the Chaos Sea, he wouldn't be able to accumulate such a vast number of merit crystals.

To obtain these two things, perhaps only after transcending and entering that polluted realm would he have a chance to accumulate such a massive number of merit crystals.

Qin Zheng thought to himself, feeling a sense of loss from the core of his being. However, he didn't dwell on it and instead lowered his gaze, noticing the last line of text on the virtue scroll.

'Can consume one million merit crystals to perform the Merit Art - Enlightenment Insight, allowing one to view fragments of the Abyss Clan's memories.'

While one hundred billion merit crystals were out of reach, one million merit crystals were attainable, and he happened to possess that many at the moment!

Previously, when he fought the Gou Chen Emperor, the Abyssal Bow that the emperor used at the end was most likely also related to the Abyss Clan.

Qin Zheng stared at the words on the virtue scroll, but he didn't immediately consume the merit crystals to perform the Merit Art - Enlightenment Insight.

The so-called 'memories of the Abyss Clan' would probably allow him to witness the events that occurred in that polluted realm after transcending, which likely wouldn't be of much help to him at the moment.

Moreover, he was still suffering from the 'after-effects' of performing the Manifestation of the Three Purities, and he needed a significant amount of Heavenly Dew of the Great Dao to recover, making it difficult to determine how many merit crystals he could afford to consume.

Prioritizing tasks was essential. It was better to wait until his injuries were fully healed, and if there were still surplus merit crystals, he could then perform Enlightenment Insight to glimpse the memories within the burial cloth fragment.

With these thoughts, Qin Zheng looked at the burial cloth fragment in his hand, then directly stored it within his inner world.

The essence of this burial cloth fragment was too high, perhaps even surpassing that of the Azure Heaven Mirror, making it unsafe to keep in the mirror.

By placing it in his inner world, it would always be under the suppression of the virtue scroll, ensuring greater safety.

Vibrant!!

Just as he had expected, as soon as the burial cloth fragment entered his inner world, it attempted to cause trouble, but the merit crystal trembled slightly, and the fragment appeared above his heart sea, floating beneath the virtue scroll.

Complete suppression in every sense!

Qin Zheng's mind finally settled.

Just then—

Dong! Dong! Dong!

Knocks sounded from outside the quiet room.

A respectful voice followed, "Elder Qin, a distinguished guest has arrived. May I ask if you will receive them?"
