Chapter 572: Daoist Xuanjing! The Time-Space Vortex!
Chapter 572: Daoist Xuanjing! The Time-Space Vortex!
Splash!
The power of time and space, like the churning sea, was pushed aside, revealing a colossal whale, its size rivaling the Chaotic Sea, slowly emerging from below, causing the time-space forces to surge and rage.
Qin Zheng instantly felt disoriented, a sense of overwhelming dread flooding his heart.
But fortunately, it was only for a moment. The Heavens and Earth Luminous Tower above his head and the scripture page beneath his feet immediately emitted a mysterious light.
The surging time-space forces, upon approaching him, immediately calmed down, no longer posing a threat.
The sense of dread in Qin Zheng's heart dissipated, and his mind gradually settled.
In the next moment.
Moo!!!
The giant whale let out a ethereal cry.
The chaotic and violent time-space forces around him instantly calmed, as if a fierce brute had suddenly transformed into a gentle and virtuous woman.
However, Qin Zheng's expression remained tense, as he saw the giant whale swiftly approaching him.
This was at least a Divine Ancient Realm monster!
He had thought that the first crisis he might encounter after leaving the Chaotic Sea would be the monsters in the Nine Continents, corrupted by the Curse Power.
But he never expected to encounter a monster capable of navigating the time-space forces on his way to the Nine Continents!
And it was at least a Divine Ancient Realm monster!
Qin Zheng's thoughts raced, his mind swiftly scanning the tower above his head and the scripture page beneath his feet. If these two items couldn't protect him, he would have to immediately return to the Chaotic Sea.
The Merit Technique: Traverse the Heavens!
This technique, which allowed him to traverse the heavens and earth, was his ultimate life-saving skill.
As his thoughts swirled, the giant whale continued to approach him, and under his gaze, its massive body gradually shrank.
When it finally reached him, the whale's size had reduced from rivaling the Chaotic Sea to that of a ten-thousand-foot mountain.
At this moment, Qin Zheng noticed a withered, white-haired Daoist sitting cross-legged on the whale's head, his head bowed silently.
If not for his keen perception of the faint life force within the white-haired Daoist, he might have mistaken him for the remains of a powerful being who had fallen on the whale's head.
The giant whale, having stopped its approach, let out another ethereal cry, its voice instantly piercing through the protective barrier of the Heavens and Earth Luminous Tower and resonating in Qin Zheng's mind.
"Who are you?"
A voice as innocent as a child's echoed.
Qin Zheng's expression flickered, and he quickly bowed to the giant whale, responding, "I am Qin Zheng, from the Chaotic Sea."
"From the Chaotic Sea?"
The whale's childlike voice sounded surprised.
The white-haired Daoist, who had been sitting cross-legged on the whale's head, now showed a slight fluctuation in his aura. He struggled to lift his head and fixed his gaze on Qin Zheng.
"Indeed, from the Chaotic Sea."
The white-haired Daoist examined Qin Zheng for a moment, then softly spoke, before slowly lowering his head and falling silent again.
The giant whale remained motionless.
Qin Zheng also stayed silent.
After a moment, the whale's childlike voice echoed in Qin Zheng's mind once more, "So, you are heading to the Nine Continents?"
Qin Zheng nodded upon hearing this. Since both he and the demon knew of the Chaos Ocean, it was no surprise that they could guess he was heading to the Nine Continents.
"Be careful. The Nine Continents have seen some new disturbances recently. With your current cultivation level, you might struggle to handle them."
The young voice issued a serious warning.
Qin Zheng's eyes gleamed as he bowed to the giant whale again. "Thank you for the warning, Senior. I understand."
"Hmm."
The giant whale responded, then paused for a moment before continuing, "The small tower on your head emits a weak aura, but it seems to be related to Taiqing. Is it one of his old possessions?"
"I have a connection with Taiqing. Since you have earned his old possession's recognition and we have met here, it must be fate."
"I will grant you a boon."
The giant whale's voice echoed in Qin Zheng's mind. Then, it let out a gentle cry that resonated in all directions, and wisps of pale blue Clear Light appeared.
These wisps of Clear Light quickly intertwined and coalesced, forming a teardrop-shaped Jade artifact, emitting a clear and bright blue light, as if it contained an endless sea.
"Use this when you are in danger. It should be able to save your life."
The giant whale's voice continued.
Qin Zheng was somewhat surprised to encounter a powerful being who knew Tao Te Tianzun in this chaotic Sea of Time and Space, and to receive such an opportunity.
So, he bowed again in gratitude and reached out to take the teardrop-shaped Jade artifact, which was about the size of a baby's fist.
Buzz!!
Almost instantly, the Scroll of Merit in his Inner Sea trembled, and words quickly appeared:
【Black Whale's Tear, Shen Gu Rarity, crafted by Black Whale Daoist, containing the full force of one of Black Whale Daoist’s strikes, capable of unleashing the peak power of Shen Gu!】
【Note: Gifted by Black Whale Daoist, can only be activated once!】
Black Whale Daoist?
Qin Zheng's mind scanned the words on the Scroll of Merit, then looked at the massive whale in front of him, feeling a bit surprised.
This whale isn't actually a demon?
His gaze swept over the Daoist on top of the whale's head, seeing that the figure still had its head drooping, with an extremely weak aura, as if it might perish at any moment.
Could the whale and the Daoist be one and the same?
This thought crossed Qin Zheng's mind.
After receiving the Black Whale's Tear, the giant whale slowly moved backward, continuing to speak, "To cross this Sea of Time and Space with just that page of scripture will take at least ten years."
"Since we've met today, I'll give you a hand to avoid other troublesome beings."
The giant whale's voice faded, and its massive body stirred. Its enormous tail gently flicked, creating a vortex in the boundless space and time.
Qin Zheng was instantly pulled by a tremendous force and tumbled into the temporal vortex.
In the last moment before he left, the giant whale's voice echoed in his mind, "When you see the Three Pure Ones, remember to tell them that the Great Dao has many paths, and there is no such thing as a perfect or flawed path."
"Remember this for yourself as well."
"Young one with abundant Fengyun."
With that, the giant whale's voice disappeared, and Qin Zheng felt the world tilt and twist, as if time and space were being twisted into a rope.
A feeling of discomfort surged in his heart.
But it didn't last long. In just a few breaths, he felt as if he had broken through a barrier and suddenly found himself in a new realm.
Immediately, a dense and intense malevolence that permeated the air locked onto him. (End of Chapter)
