Chapter 546: Yuanshi's False Body! Beyondshore's Levels!

February 5th, 2025

Boom! Boom!

Within the Bagua Zijin Furnace, infinite Dao flames surged, forming whirlwinds that poured into Xuandu's physical body, refining the Doom Force within in an almost violent manner.

For millions of years, the Bagua Zijin Furnace had been slowly eroding the Doom Force in a gentle manner, creating a delicate balance to prevent the Doom Force from erupting and consuming Xuandu.

But with the infusion of the Zaohua Force from Qin Zheng, nearly half of the Doom Force was directly refined, instantly breaking the balance, ensuring that even if the Doom Force erupted, it couldn't consume Xuandu.

At this moment, Xuandu seized the opportunity, intending to harness the power of the Bagua Zijin Furnace to try and refine the remaining four-tenths of the Doom Force in one go.

If successful, the Beyondshore would be within reach!

Xuandu immediately awakened all his dormant consciousness, focusing entirely on refining the Doom Force within his body.

At the same time...

Outside the Bagua Zijin Furnace.

Qin Zheng sat cross-legged on a meditation cushion, his eyes fixed on the situation inside the furnace. He witnessed the infinite Dao flames surging, continuously flowing into Xuandu's body, and saw the eruption of the Doom Force, causing his physical body to explode repeatedly.

He instantly understood Xuandu's intention.

Xuandu was seizing this opportunity to go all out, aiming to refine all the Doom Force within his body.

Qin Zheng slowly withdrew his gaze. Although the Zaohua Force had already refined a significant portion of the Doom Force, the remaining four-tenths were still formidable, and even with all his might, it would take more than a day to refine it completely.

Therefore, in the time ahead, he could focus on his own matters without constantly observing Xuandu inside the Zijin Furnace.

With this thought, Qin Zheng slowly stood up, turned, and took a step out of the alchemy room, leaving the Dao Guan, and arriving in the boundless void outside.

The star clouds churned, and the starry river stretched across.

Qin Zheng stood calmly in the void, observing the scene before him, and in his mind, he began to recall the power manipulation method he had sensed in the memories of the Tianyuan Clan.

This power manipulation method could enhance even the strength of Divine Ancient Realm powerhouses, but what effect would it have on his own body, which was merely at the Zaohua Realm? As this thought emerged...

Buzz! Buzz!

A force surged from the depths of his body, beginning to circulate in the manner he had memorized from the memories, but immediately, he encountered an immense resistance.

This wasn't due to an incorrect power manipulation method, but rather, Qin Zheng's body instinctively rejected this manner of power circulation!

Qin Zheng's expression slightly tightened, and then he had a realization.

The Tianyuan Clan, as an ancient clan, had physical bodies inherently different from humans. Whether it was their bodily structure or the strength of their flesh and organs, they far surpassed humans.

Therefore, he couldn't directly apply the power manipulation method; he needed to adjust it according to the human body's structure and the strength of his own flesh and organs.

With this understanding, Qin Zheng promptly modified the power manipulation method, and his Zaohua Realm's divine soul and physical body were sufficient to support the improvement of the circulation method.

With these adjustments, the resistance from his body gradually weakened and eventually disappeared entirely, and at the same time, his power instantly doubled!

Sensing this change, Qin Zheng's spirit instantly surged, and he immersed himself once more in improving the Tianyuan Clan's power manipulation method.

In the vast and silent starry sky, only Qin Zheng's figure stood in the void, and as time passed, his aura gradually expanded, forming a whirlwind that soared into the sky.

Boom! Boom!

After half a day, the star clouds and starry river in the boundless starry sky were stirred into a towering pillar by an immense and vast aura that permeated every corner of the Eight Scenery Palace.

In the central position, Qin Zheng silently contemplated the power within his body, feeling the difference from before.

The Tianyuan Clan's power manipulation method, when applied to their bodies, could increase their power by more than tenfold.

However, the human body's structure and strength were significantly weaker than those of the Tianyuan Clan. Therefore, after Qin Zheng's adjustments, the power increase wasn't as high as tenfold for the Tianyuan Clan.

But it was still impressive!

Fivefold!

By adapting the Tianyuan Clan's power manipulation method to his own body, he could increase his power by nearly five times!

And this wasn't even the limit!

This was just the minimum growth with the least cost that Qin Zheng's current physical strength could bear. If he didn't consider his own consumption and pushed the power manipulation method without regard for the cost, the power increase would be even more significant!

Qin Zheng's eyes shone with determination.

His foundation was already extremely profound, and upon reaching Legend Realm Perfection, he could rival Zhaohua Perfection. Now, after advancing to the Zhaohua Realm, his strength underwent a tremendous transformation.

At this moment, by obtaining the power of the Tianyuan Clan's energy manipulation, his strength surged once more!

If his strength increased fivefold and he activated the Legend Feature, Linggu Favor, how much stronger would he become? Even Qin Zheng himself couldn't imagine.

With this thought in mind, Qin Zheng extended his right hand, directly grasping a galaxy in the starry sky, and when he retracted his hand, the galaxy transformed into a dazzling star chain.

This was a power beyond the Legend Realm! Qin Zheng experimented with various methods of the Zhaohua Realm, casually turning the galaxy into a star chain and wearing it on his wrist. Then, taking a step forward, he crossed the void, leaving the Eight Scenery Palace and arriving in the Thirty-Third Heavens.

After the Heavenly Court was overturned, the Thirty-Third Heavens lost a mountain that had weighed down on countless lives, allowing the entire realm to regain some vitality.

However, at that time, Qin Zheng suffered severe injuries, and the aftereffects of activating the Sanqing Manifestation further prevented him from attending to other matters. Consequently, many things from the Heavenly Court fell into the Nine Heavens.

Among these fallen objects, many were polluted items, still posing a threat to the lives in the Thirty-Third Heavens.

Qin Zheng's departure from the Eight Scenery Palace aimed to eliminate the final traces of pollution in the Thirty-Third Heavens and to search for clues about the Heavenly Emperor's true body.

With the shift in the situation, it wasn't Qin Zheng who feared the Heavenly Emperor, but rather the Heavenly Emperor who should hide from Qin Zheng! A Zhaohua Realm master's thought enveloped an entire realm, swiftly anchoring all people and objects related to pollution. Then, with a mental nudge, the Mirror of the Azure Sky appeared on its own, rapidly expanding and projecting strands of profound and clear light.

Thus, in the Thirty-Third Heavens, within various realms, wherever pollution existed, a strand of clear light descended, directly covering the polluted items or people.

In the Nine Heavens, within a land surrounded by meteorites, stood a solemn silver-white grand hall. At this moment, a black dog sat lifelessly before the empty hall.

It was only when a strand of profound mirror light descended that the dog awoke from its intense pain, then lay on the ground, rolling continuously.

Xiao Tian Quan felt the power within its body gradually ebbing away, causing the world before its eyes to blur, and even the previous intense pain dissipated.

A clear tear fell from the corner of its eye as it gazed into the depths of the meteor-filled void, weakly murmuring, "Master..."

Why didn't the master return after going out to slay those intruders who dared to trespass into the forbidden land? Did the master no longer want Xiao Tian Quan?

Or... Master, Xiao Tian Quan is coming to join you.

Xiao Tian Quan opened its eyes again, looking around in confusion. Upon not seeing the figure in silver-white armor, a hint of disappointment appeared in its eyes.

But immediately after, a hint of joy emerged.

In the realm where this undead creature resided, the absence of the master meant that the master hadn't perished, which was good news! Xiao Tian Quan was so excited that it wagged its tail and spun in circles, barking twice.

However, upon seeing the Zhenjun Shrine behind it, its movements halted, and it began to scan the surroundings with a puzzled expression.

Why was the master's Dao Field here as well? Xiao Tian Quan wondered.

Just then...

"Stupid dog."

A calm voice with a hint of mockery sounded from the void, clearly reaching Xiao Tian Quan's ears.

Xiao Tian Quan immediately scanned its surroundings, baring its teeth in anger, ready to pounce and bite the source of the mocking voice as soon as it appeared.

But after waiting and waiting, no second voice emerged, and the void returned to normal once more.

Doubt appeared in Xiao Tian Quan's eyes. It turned to look at the Zhenjun Shrine behind it, then turned back around and quietly crouched before the shrine.

Although unclear about what happened after the disappearance of Tianchi, and how he managed to return from death, the Black Hound decided to simply wait here for his master's return.

With all doubts and thoughts extinguished, the Black Hound calmly resumed its guard outside the Zhenjun Hall.

At the same time, in a place far beyond the Nine Heavens, Qin Zheng held the Mirror of the Azure Sky, his gaze shifting from the Black Hound outside the Zhenjun Temple.

This black hound, though foolish, had caused quite a stir outside Yuandongtian in the past, but it was undeniably loyal.

Together with Yang Jian, the Erliang Zhenjun, who bravely infiltrated the Heavenly Court, risking his life in the final battle, even striking at the Heavenly Emperor's clone.

Qin Zheng thought for a moment and used a strand of Zaohua's power to reconstruct the hound's physical body, bringing it back to life.

After all, for the current Qin Zheng, it was just a simple task.

As this thought crossed his mind, Qin Zheng looked at the Mirror of the Azure Sky in his hand, observing the condensed and contracted pollution within the mirror's space, confirming that there was not a trace of pollution left in the Thirty-Three Heavens.

"Then let's return to our places."

Qin Zheng spoke to himself.

The next moment, a thunderous roar shook the Thirty-Three Heavens, causing them to tremble.

After the Heavenly Emperor's transcendence, he conspired with pollution, triggering a grand war involving humans, demons, and gods, damaging and altering the positions of the Thirty-Three Heavens.

But at Qin Zheng's command, the Thirty-Three Heavens started to tremble and shift back to their original locations.

Yuandongtian, which was placed at the edge of the Thirty-Three Heavens, suddenly broke through the chaos and returned to its original position.

The Thirty-Three Heavens swiftly expanded.

It was only at this moment that the Thirty-Three Heavens restored to their state before the Heavenly Emperor's transcendence.

Qin Zheng sensed the gradually flourishing Dao origins between heaven and earth, and with a slight nod, he stepped forward into the depths of the Nine Heavens, towards the residence that once belonged to the Heavenly Emperor.

After the battle, many palaces in the Heavenly Court had fallen from the Nine Heavens, but this residence remained unchanged.

Through Qin Zheng's previous perception, no trace of the Heavenly Emperor was found in the Thirty-Three Heavens, except for this residence, which blurred his senses, preventing him from clearly seeing what was inside.

Qin Zheng stared at the grand palace hall before him and waved his hand, opening all the doors of the hall.

Instantly, dazzling treasures radiated from within, followed by divine weapons, immortal pills, and spiritual herbs bursting out from each hall.

Qin Zheng paid no attention to these treasures; his gaze was fixed on the deepest hall, the only one without radiant treasures, and he stepped inside.

As his figure entered the hall, the dark interior suddenly lit up with golden light, illuminating the entire hall.

Qin Zheng's pupils constricted.

In the center of the hall, five figures sat, three of them wearing Daoist robes, exuding a familiar aura to Qin Zheng—the Three Pure Ones!

The other two figures were larger in stature; one emanated serene Zen energy, and the other, domineering demonic energy—the Buddha and the Demon Saint!!

The five Beyond-the-Shore figures of the Thirty-Three Heavens!!

Qin Zheng first bowed respectfully, then took a step forward, approaching the five figures.

Under his gaze, the five figures seemed lifelike, and if not for the absence of vitality within them, one might think they were merely meditating with closed eyes.

But

Qin Zheng's eyes revealed confusion.

Beyond-the-Shore transcendence involves the simultaneous transcendence of the physical body and soul, not just the soul leaving behind a remnant in the Thirty-Three Heavens. Therefore, these five figures were not the Beyond-the-Shore entities themselves.

Why did the Heavenly Emperor create the figures of the five Beyond-the-Shore beings and keep them in his residence? Qin Zheng wondered, and his gaze fell upon the Three Pure Ones, bowing again, "Please forgive this disciple's rudeness, Three Pure Saints."

After speaking, Qin Zheng extended his hand, touching one of the Daoist figures.

At that moment—

Buzz!!

In his sea of consciousness, the Scroll of Merit vibrated intensely, emitting brilliant divine light, and words quickly appeared.

【Yuan Shi's Dummy Body, formed from the flesh and blood of heaven and earth, with the imprint of the Great Dao as its soul, is of Beyond-the-Shore level and cannot be refined!】

Yuan Shi's Dummy Body?

Beyond-the-Shore level!

Qin Zheng's pupils constricted again.
