Chapter 544: The Ten Thousand Clans Competition! The Divine Arrow Dao of Tianyuan!
February 2, 2025
Within the radiant heart sea, the Tianyuan Bow and the Wrapping Cloth fragments, suppressed by the Scroll of Merit, lay dormant, their corruption subdued. Qin Zheng, observing this, withdrew his consciousness and returned to the outside world, his gaze falling upon the now-broken Sealed Realm.
The Shanhai Scroll expanded, resembling a celestial canopy, its pure light intertwining with darkness, silently hovering above the shattered seal.
Qin Zheng gently waved his hand, and the scroll swiftly closed, shrinking to a foot in size and landing in his palm, the surrounding white blur dissipating.
Tu Yue and the others, waiting outside the Sealed Realm, rushed in upon its reappearance, only to find a scene of devastation, like a wasteland. Their hearts grew heavy, but seeing Qin Zheng's figure standing in the void, their spirits lifted slightly.
Their attention then shifted to the nine Zhaohua Perfection beings, victims of the array's backlash, and their pupils tightened. They quickly offered various elixirs and divine herbs to save the lives of the nine.
After ensuring their safety, their gazes turned back to Qin Zheng, standing in the void. One of them stepped forward and said, "Friend Qin, about this battle..."
"The Heavenly Emperor sealed here has been subdued," Qin Zheng calmly replied, his eyes flickering as he continued without concealment, "But this body is not his true self. As for his true form's whereabouts, I'm unsure."
Upon hearing the first part of Qin Zheng's statement, their spirits eased, but the second half immediately tensed them, their expressions growing grim.
"That wasn't his true self?!"
The Ten Yuan Sect's Zhaohua Perfection member's face darkened, his voice filled with shock.
A being equivalent to a weak Beyondshore, requiring the combined effort of nine Beyondshore Dao Traditions to barely seal, wasn't even his true self! How powerful was the Heavenly Emperor's true form?!
For a moment, a sense of suffocating darkness pressed upon them, even affecting the Zhaohua Perfection cultivators.
Tu Yue forced himself to remain calm, his eyes flickering as he observed Qin Zheng's serene demeanor. "Friend Qin, do you know anything else?"
Qin Zheng caressed the Shanhai Scroll in his hand.
After witnessing Dao Xuan's strength, the Heavenly Emperor, despite quietly attaining Beyondshore, dared not reveal his true self for some time, knowing the risk of death.
After all, although Dao Xuan was but a remnant soul, he was still a Divine Ancient powerhouse, and even a fragment of his soul could annihilate the Heavenly Emperor.
However, in the years to come, the Heavenly Emperor would undoubtedly employ various methods in secret to test Dao Xuan's limits and the frequency of his interventions.
But given Qin Zheng's current situation, unless the Heavenly Emperor himself appeared or, like the Heavenly Emperor's Remnant, temporarily gained Beyondshore power through the Wrapping Cloth and Tianyuan Bow, those below the Beyondshore level would no longer pose a threat.
These thoughts flashed through Qin Zheng's mind in an instant.
He nodded slightly to the group before him. "The Heavenly Emperor's true self won't likely appear for some time, but his clone tactics won't cease. This battle is not yet over."
Hearing this, the group breathed a slight sigh of relief, but their tension remained.
After all, Qin Zheng had only said the true Emperor wouldn't appear for a short time, not that he would never appear, and there would still be clone tactics to contend with.
Qin Zheng casually put away the Shanhai Scroll and addressed the group, "From now on, consolidate your forces to face the crises that may arise at any moment."
"I will return to the Pangu Great World. If you have any news, you can find me there."
After speaking, Qin Zheng turned and took a step, vanishing instantly.
Although Qin Zheng's activation of his unique trait, enhanced by Dao Xuan's divine ability, far surpassed his previous attempts, the aftermath he had to endure would also be far greater.
The last time he activated this trait, he fell into a year-long slumber, and this time, he might sleep for an unknown duration. He needed to quickly return to a place of safety.
The void trembled, and time flowed. In the Nine Heavens, now devoid of the seal's destruction, a sense of vitality emerged, contrasting the expected desolation.
Deep within the Heavenly Court, where countless meteorites gathered, a figure clad in a golden-patterned robe stepped forward, and with a wave of his hand, the array before him was lifted.
Qin Zheng's aura flickered with disorder as he stepped into the center of the array, entering the Tai Qing Dao Field.
As Qin Zheng entered the Dao field, Xuan Du, who had been seated in the Daoist temple, suddenly opened his eyes, stood up, and took a step forward, appearing in the void. He reached out to support Qin Zheng.
"Rest assured." Xuan Du said with a steady voice.
Qin Zheng nodded slightly and instantly fell into a deep slumber. In his inner world, the Dao-Tian Dew poured down like a torrential rain, healing his injuries.
Xuan Du's perception showed that Qin Zheng's aura was plummeting at an alarming rate, reaching its lowest point in an instant, and even showing signs of disappearing.
Xuan Du's expression turned solemn. He supported Qin Zheng and took a step forward, piercing through the layers of void and arriving in the ancient Daoist temple's alchemy room.
The lid of the Purple-Jade Bagua Furnace opened on its own, and Qin Zheng's figure entered the furnace. The pills around him flew up and flowed into the furnace like streams.
Once all the pills had entered the furnace, the lid closed, and the Dao flames within surged, refining the essence of the pills and continuously pouring them into Qin Zheng's body.
"How could he have suffered such severe injuries!" Xuan Du exclaimed with a heavy tone.
His gaze reflected the scene inside the furnace. Qin Zheng's eyes were tightly shut, and his aura had plummeted to its lowest point. Only with the influx of the furnace's essence could he barely cling to life.
Limited by his current state and the array set up by the Heavenly Emperor outside the Eight Scenery Palace, Xuan Du couldn't clearly perceive what was happening beyond the Thirty-Third Heaven.
But at this moment, he could sense with utmost clarity the extremely pure pollution that Qin Zheng had come into contact with. It was the same pollution he had encountered in the past, which had fallen from the polluted land, forcing him to immediately seek enlightenment in the Beyondshore, as he had no confidence in resisting it.
Qin Zheng had encountered the pollution from the Chaos Ocean!
Xuan Du desperately wanted to know what had happened in the Chaos Ocean.
His mind raced with guesses, each one arising and then being dismissed.
Finally, when Qin Zheng's aura began to rise slightly, Xuan Du calmed his mind, sighed softly, and sat down in the same spot.
He would have to wait for Qin Zheng to wake up to find out what had happened in the Chaos Ocean, as his current state prevented him from leaving the Eight Scenery Palace to learn about the outside world.
The alchemy room fell silent.
At this moment, within the Purple-Jade Bagua Furnace, as an endless stream of essence poured in, Qin Zheng's consciousness slowly awakened from its slumber. However, he found that he couldn't control his physical body.
His physical injuries were too severe. Although the Dao-Tian Dew and the Bagua Purple-Jade Furnace had helped revive his consciousness, his body still couldn't 'wake up.'
Qin Zheng realized this.
Since that was the case...
Qin Zheng's mind stirred, and his consciousness entered his sea of consciousness, focusing on the evolving Scroll of Merit.

The accumulation of Merit Crystals had reached an unprecedented level, enough to support his recovery and allow him to do many things! For example...
Qin Zheng's consciousness focused on the Scroll of Merit, noticing the suppressed TianYuan Bow and Shrouding Cloth Fragment. His mind stirred.
Whoosh!!
The Scroll of Merit shed a strand of light onto the TianYuan Bow, and a line of text quickly appeared on the scroll.

Without a single mistake, the first internal content of Chapter 169 is as follows:
Since only the mind can move at this moment, and the Merit Crystal is sufficient, let's take this opportunity to see the so-called memories of the Tianyuan Clan members!
Qin Zheng's mind moved.
Buzz!
The Scroll of Merit trembled slightly.
...
[Do you want to consume one million Merit Crystals and use the Merit Technique [Contemplate the Dao, Seek the Substratum] to view the memory fragments of the Tianyuan Clan members?]
...
"Yes!"
Qin Zheng's mind responded.
Whoosh!!!
In an instant, dazzling golden light covered his mind, and the perceived scene changed, with light and shadows flowing, the void surging, and his mind perceiving a state of dark nothingness.
It was unknown how long this situation lasted.
A deep rebuke sounded in his ear:
"The Ten Thousand Clans Competition is approaching! You're not training properly, do you want to disgrace our Tianyuan Clan in front of the powerful Ten Thousand Clans?"
Whoosh!!
The light exploded, and the darkness faded, revealing a majestic green mountain, followed by a blinding sunlight, and then a huge training ground came into view.
At this moment, on this training ground, dozens of youthful figures stood in an orderly manner in the center, and at the very front stood a tall middle-aged man.
This middle-aged man held a large bow in one hand, his brows furrowed in anger as he scolded the youths in the field.
At this moment, Qin Zheng also sensed from this middle-aged man a power far surpassing Dao Xuan.
Above Divine Ancient!!
Qin Zheng's mind trembled.
Then his gaze shifted from the middle-aged man at the front to the youths around, and his mind trembled violently again.
Divine Ancient Realm!!
The dozens of youths standing around were all at the Divine Ancient Realm, the same as Dao Xuan!
This is the Ancient Clans!
Qin Zheng's mind was shaken uncontrollably.
Just then—
"Number Thirteen! You dare to be distracted?!"
A furious shout sounded in his ear.
Qin Zheng quickly refocused, and the middle-aged man at the front, who knew when, had quietly appeared before him, glaring angrily.
The next moment—
Slap!!
A large hand blocked out the sun, instantly landing on his arm, and a powerful force surged into his body.
"Ahh!!"
Intense pain surged, and Qin Zheng felt like his right arm had been severed, losing all sensation at that moment.
"How can such a slender arm draw a large bow?!"
The middle-aged man's eyebrows furrowed, then he withdrew his hand and slapped Qin Zheng's forehead.
Buzz!!
Qin Zheng's eyes flashed with stars.
"If you don't cultivate diligently, how can you restore the glory of our ancestors? Know that among the Ten Thousand Clans today, our Tianyuan Clan has fallen out of the top hundred!"
The middle-aged man's tone was heavy.
Qin Zheng listened intently to the man's words, and ripples of emotion stirred in his heart...
The Ten Thousand Clans Competition...
The Tianyuan Clan ranked outside the top hundred...
So, the Ancient Clans weren't a single tribe but a collective term for many tribes!
And the Tianyuan Clan, just on this training ground, had dozens at the Divine Ancient level and one above Divine Ancient, whose exact realm was unknown, not to mention the stronger ones not present.
Such a Tianyuan Clan could only rank outside the top hundred, so how powerful were the top hundred Ancient Clans?!
Qin Zheng's mind shook.
The middle-aged man, at this moment, raised the large bow in his hand, aimed at the sun in the sky, drew the bowstring into a crescent, and then released it with force!
Boom!!!
The light in the heavens and earth flowed, transforming into a soaring divine arrow that instantly shattered the sun, plunging the entire world into darkness.
"When you can shatter the sun, I'll teach you the Divine Arrow Dao of Tianyuan!"
The middle-aged man's voice echoed again.
The next instant—
Whoosh!
Another sun rose.
The world returned to light.
A large bow fell into Qin Zheng's hand.
