Chapter 532: The Situation in the Chaos Sea!

Chapter 532: The Situation in the Chaos Sea!

January 20th, 2025

A Legend!!!

The mysterious powerful being who rescued him from the demon race's lair and later secluded himself in the quiet chamber of his own sect was indeed a figure of mythical rank!

Li Wanshan's heart was filled with unbearable pain, a deep regret that almost tore his heart apart.

Making a connection with a legendary powerhouse was the greatest fortune in this realm, and even though he wasn't sure if the other party was a legend, he had always been respectful and cautious, carefully maintaining this good fortune.

However, he never expected that due to the foolish schemes of his own offspring, not only would this good fortune be destroyed, but it would also invite the dissatisfaction and even malice of a legendary figure!

How could such a prominent figure be so calculating?

Li Wanshan's heart bled, and he looked at his offspring with a hint of hatred in his eyes, only to see the latter sitting on the ground, looking like an idiot. He seemed to have lost his soul, and Li Wanshan's gaze froze, his hatred turning into dejection.

At the same time,

Qin Zheng sat grandly in the main hall, staring at the suddenly appearing old man in blue robes. He was the only legend in this realm, the ancestor of the Green Fortune Dao Sect!

"Friend, please tell me first who the enemy is in this battle beyond the realm."

He shook his head slightly and spoke.

The Green Fortune Celestial Venerable nodded and raised his palm slightly, sweeping it across the ground. The few Green Fortune Dao Sect's Primordial Chaos cultivators who were scared to death or unconscious scattered and disappeared like dust.

"Friend, coming from beyond the heavens, you should be aware of the current situation in the Chaos Sea. The enemy we face is the rebel who invades from the other side of the Chaos Sea."

After a slight pause, seeing that Qin Zheng's expression was calm and unmoved, he continued, "In other words, they are a group of polluted beings."

Qin Zheng's premonition was confirmed, and he nodded without showing any surprise. "How many great worlds are involved in this great battle?"

The Green Fortune Celestial Venerable did not answer this question but smiled and said, "I have answered one of your questions, and now it's time for you to answer mine."

He had already taken the initiative to kill his own sect members and answered Qin Zheng's first question. Being of the same mythical rank, he had given enough face and would not allow Qin Zheng to ask questions freely.

Moreover, in the world he dominated, he didn't even know when the other party had arrived until the other party had just revealed their aura, which caught his attention.

He would not rest until this question was clarified.

Qin Zheng did not argue and immediately spoke up, "Previously, I fought with a polluted Dao Realm cultivator. After being severely injured, I fell into this realm. To avoid attracting attention, I used a special method to conceal my aura."

The Green Fortune Celestial Venerable nodded, seeming to relax, and said, "So that's the case. Can you tell me the outcome of that battle?"

"One died, and one was injured," Qin Zheng replied promptly.

The Green Fortune Celestial Venerable's eyes flashed slightly, and he reached out and made a bow, saying, "Thank you, friend, for eliminating a rebel. Your contribution to the Chaos Sea is immeasurable, and your merit is boundless!"

Qin Zheng waved his hand.

The Green Fortune Celestial Venerable was deep in thought, about to answer Qin Zheng's previous question, when he suddenly noticed the surroundings and instead said, "Friend, if you don't mind, why don't we go to the Green Fortune Dao Sect for a detailed discussion?"

"It just so happens that soon, Ling Du from the Golden Clouds Palace will be here. He knows more about the situation, and you can ask him if you have more questions."

At this moment, Qin Zheng's injuries were rapidly healing, and with his perception covering the entire realm, he didn't sense any threats. So, he nodded.

"I have no objections."

Qin Zheng stood up.

A smile appeared on the Green Fortune Celestial Venerable's face, and he turned to make an inviting gesture. Instantly, a spatial passage appeared in the main hall.

Although a few foolish sect members had died, the conflict had been resolved, and they had made a new acquaintance—a powerful cultivator capable of fighting those of the same realm. This was a joyous occasion worth celebrating.

As Qin Zheng stood up, Li Wanshan immediately snapped out of his dejection and knelt before Qin Zheng, pleading, "Senior, my son was overly anxious to protect me and lost his rationality, committing this great offense!"

"All the blame is on me. I beg you to punish me, Senior. My son has lost his soul, so please spare his life and let him live the rest of his life as a fool!"

The Green Fortune Celestial Venerable remained silent.

Qin Zheng paused and waved his hand, instantly restoring Li Qingyun's soul. The young man's expression changed from idiocy to bewilderment and then to terror as he saw Qin Zheng again.

A glimmer of light appeared in Li Wanshan's eyes.

The next moment,

Qin Zheng clenched his fist.

Boom!

Li Qingyun instantly exploded.

Li Wanshan's expression changed drastically in an instant.

But just at that moment, Li Qingyun's flesh and blood, instead of scattering, strangely condensed again, transforming into a bloody embryo.

Qin Zheng finally spoke up, "Since you dare to plot against me, death is inevitable. However, considering your purpose was to protect him, and you've provided me with a year of convenience, I'll give him a chance to be reborn."

"Carefully nurture this embryo. I've opened his root bone and spirit root. After ten years of gestation, he will be born with greater achievements."

With Qin Zheng's current abilities, he didn't need any heavenly treasures. With a simple hand gesture, he could create a genius with exceptional root bones.

After speaking, he no longer looked at the blood and flesh embryo floating in mid-air but turned his gaze towards Qingyun Tianzun.

"Fellow Daoist, please!"

Qingyun Tianzun smiled and spoke.

The two of them immediately stepped into the spatial passage and left the welcoming hall of the Wanshan Sect.

In the empty hall, only Li Wanshan remained, his expression complex, as if he wanted to cry and laugh at the same time. But upon seeing the bloody embryo, he immediately bowed in the direction Qin Zheng had left, expressing his gratitude.

"Thank you, Senior, for your great kindness!"

The situation with the Li family was just a side note, and Qin Zheng didn't pay much attention to it. As he took a step out, the surroundings changed.

Waterfalls descended from the sky, falling into the lake before him. The surroundings were filled with green mountains and sheer cliffs, lush greenery, and celestial beasts playing joyfully, creating a vibrant scene full of life.

Within this mountain range, there was a secluded bamboo forest, and in front of it stood a wooden house with a small courtyard, resembling the residence of a reclusive hermit.

"After traveling and cultivating all this way, I've experienced various immortal palaces and jade buildings. In the end, I find that this quiet place in the mountains suits me best."

Qingyun Tianzun smiled and spoke.

Qin Zheng nodded, "Fellow Daoist, you have a refined taste."

The two of them arrived at the wooden house and sat down at a wooden table.

Qingyun Tianzun then spoke, "The pollution invasion was too sudden. Even though the culprit was suppressed by the Jinxiao Palace and other Beyond Shore Dao Traditions, the pollution continues to spread."

"This inter-world war is the determination of many Beyond Shore Dao Traditions to stop the pollution from spreading further and to completely control the pollution in the Chaos Sea!"

"Therefore, countless worlds are participating in this battle, and even among the Dao Realm experts, I know of dozens, and there may be hundreds involved!"

Qingyun Tianzun's expression turned solemn.

Qin Zheng's eyebrows furrowed upon hearing this.

Has the pollution invasion initiated by the Celestial Emperor reached such a severe level?

The Chaos Sea is vast! Even with the Azure Heaven Mirror, he could only observe many worlds within the Chaos Sea, just a corner of it, far from being able to see the entire Chaos Sea.

And in the Thirty-Three Heavens, the Celestial Court seemed only slightly stronger, far from being able to initiate a war to control the pollution in the Chaos Sea.

But now it seems that the Celestial Emperor's invasion of the Chaos Sea is even more terrifying than he imagined! It has caused numerous Beyond Shore Dao Traditions in the Chaos Sea to join forces to suppress it, and countless worlds in the Chaos Sea to resist together. There are at least a hundred Dao Realm experts involved!

The Celestial Emperor is more formidable than he imagined! Qin Zheng's thoughts raced, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, and his expression became solemn.

Qingyun Tianzun continued solemnly, "The most challenging part about resisting pollution is not only fighting and killing the polluted beings but also preventing ourselves from being assimilated by the pollution."

"Among the current pollution army, there are many Dao Realm experts. They were once the ones resisting the pollution army. If they are not careful and get polluted, they will fall into the abyss, their minds will change, and they will turn from allies to enemies."

"As the pollution grows stronger, our side becomes weaker, and eventually, the entire Chaos Sea will be dragged into the abyss of pollution!"

At this point, the atmosphere became heavy, and silence filled the room.

After a few breaths, Qingyun Daozong raised his gaze and looked at Qin Zheng with curiosity, "Fellow Daoist, where did you fight and kill that polluted Dao Realm expert?"

He could sense that Qin Zheng wasn't entirely clear about the current situation in the Chaos Sea, but he clearly knew about the existence of pollution, perhaps in a remote world that the Beyond Shore Dao Traditions hadn't discovered.

Qin Zheng's thoughts turned, and after some contemplation, he spoke, "The world where I fought that Dao Realm expert is called the Pangu Great World, also known as the Thirty-Three Heavens."

Boom!!

As his voice fell, the sound of wind and thunder erupted, and Qingyun Tianzun's aura soared to its peak. Around him, three legendary divine weapons appeared: a bronze cauldron, a divine wooden sword, and a green jade gourd.

At this moment, he retreated over a hundred zhang away, his expression filled with shock as he stared at Qin Zheng. His eyes were filled with vigilance, and he quickly spoke up, "Fellow Daoist, please don't joke around. I ask you to repeat where you're from!"

Qin Zheng's expression remained calm and unmoving. As he gained a clearer understanding of the Celestial Emperor's situation in the Chaos Sea, he raised his head and looked at the fully-armed Green Fortune Celestial Venerable across from him. Slowly, he opened his mouth and said, "Fellow Daoist, I assume you know that the culprit behind this pollution invasion is from the Pangu Great World."

The Green Fortune Celestial Venerable remained silent, but his aura became more turbulent, and his gaze towards Qin Zheng grew increasingly vigilant.

Qin Zheng continued, "Perhaps you don't believe me, but the Pangu Great World has not fallen. There are still those like us who resist pollution."

The Green Fortune Celestial Venerable's eyebrows rose slightly, but his eyes now held a hint of wavering. After all, he didn't sense the dark and twisted polluted aura from Qin Zheng.

Seeing this, Qin Zheng spoke again, "Moreover, if you know of the Pangu Great World, you should also know that several Other Shore powerhouses emerged from that world in the past."

"With the existence of the Other Shore Bodhimanda, even if the Celestial Emperor colludes with pollution, he wouldn't dare enter the Other Shore Bodhimanda. Otherwise, he would only face certain death by triggering the Vital Energy left behind by the Other Shore."

These words dispelled most of the Green Fortune Celestial Venerable's doubts. He slowly approached Qin Zheng, and the three Mythical Level Divine Armaments around him followed closely, not being put away.

"Hearing your words, could it be that you're also from the Other Shore? Is there a way to prove it?"

The Green Fortune Celestial Venerable asked.

Qin Zheng didn't waste words. He raised his right hand, and a jade scepter shimmering with pure light landed in his palm. It also caught the eye of the Green Fortune Celestial Venerable.

"Other Shore Armament!"

The Green Fortune Celestial Venerable's pupils contracted suddenly.

Aside from the Other Shore Bodhimanda, no other power could possess Other Shore Armaments. This was an unchanging rule in the Chaos Sea! At this moment, his doubts vanished, and he waved his hand to put away his three Mythical Level Divine Armaments, which seemed a bit shabby in comparison. He sat down in front of Qin Zheng once more.

"Please forgive me, fellow Daoist. After that 'Celestial Emperor' appeared, the Pangu Great World in the Chaos Sea was already considered the same as the source of pollution. We never imagined that there would still be fellow Daoists resisting pollution within the Pangu Great World."

Qin Zheng put away the Three Jeweled Precious Scepter, lightly shaking his head to indicate that he didn't mind.

The Green Fortune Celestial Venerable asked again, "Since there is the Other Shore Bodhimanda in the Pangu Great World, why didn't they suppress the Celestial Emperor from the start?"

Qin Zheng helplessly replied, "There was a change in the Thirty-Three Heavens, and the Other Shore Bodhimanda was scattered, leaving only its existence."

The Bodhimanda not only represents a legacy but also the powerful cultivators who practice this heritage. So, strictly speaking, the Other Shore Bodhimanda no longer exists in the Thirty-Three Heavens.

Unless Xuan Du Grand Mage clears the tribulation and 'revives', but by then, he will have also attained the Other Shore. Regardless, he will be a true Other Shore Bodhimanda.

Qin Zheng thought to himself.

The Green Fortune Celestial Venerable nodded in understanding, but he still had doubts. The Pangu Great World was located in the center of the Chaos Sea, far from the Green Fortune Great World.

Why, after Qin Zheng fought in the Dao Realm in the Pangu Great World and suffered severe injuries, did he not return to the Other Shore Bodhimanda but instead descend upon the distant Green Fortune Great World?

Could it be that the Other Shore Bodhimanda had fallen, and they used their Other Shore means to send the person before him here? The Green Fortune Celestial Venerable's thoughts were in disarray.

Both of them fell silent again.

After a few breaths, Qin Zheng gathered his thoughts and looked at the Green Fortune Celestial Venerable, asking, "Fellow Daoist, do you know when the battle against the pollution army will begin?"

The Green Fortune Celestial Venerable recalled his thoughts and shook his head, "I don't know when or where the battle will take place. It's up to the Other Shore Bodhimanda to decide."

"Wait for Ling Du from the Golden Cloud Palace to come. You can ask him; he should know."

Qin Zheng nodded.

He needed an excessive amount of Heavenly Dew of the Great Dao to heal his injuries, and accumulating Merit Crystals and polluted aura was a significant drain. Additionally, unlocking the memories of the Abyss Clan required a million Merit Crystals.

So, Qin Zheng decided to temporarily join the camp resisting the pollution army. He would accumulate Merit Crystals and polluted aura while thoroughly understanding the situation in the Chaos Sea.

Just as this thought crossed his mind—

Shua!

Brilliant golden light surged from above, and a figure with a thick and domineering aura instantly appeared before the wooden courtyard.

"An order from the Golden Cloud Palace!"

"The Pan-Primordial Great World has fallen. We must rush to support them!"
