Chapter 726: Chapter 501: Organizing the Harvest! Initial Signs of Conflict!_2
So the stronger the forces resisting the Heavenly Court become, the more jubilant he naturally feels. Though Qin Zheng’s talent is undoubtedly remarkable, his current strength is indeed somewhat lacking.
If Qin Zheng temporarily lends out his treasures, allowing the Zhu Xian Sword to merge into the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation, and returns the Haotian Mirror to the hands of Daoxing Heavenly Venerate, the strength of the forces opposing the Heavenly Court would undoubtedly increase significantly.
Once Qin Zheng ascends to Primordial Chaos Without Limit or attains the legendary Tao Realm, the two divine artifacts can then be returned to their rightful owner, thus achieving maximum enhancement for their faction’s power.
Qin Zheng’s expression remained calm and unchanged; he did not reveal any trace of delight or anger. Instead, he spoke again: "The Heavenly Venerate has not taken the initiative to inform me; is he now busy appeasing and persuading others?"
Shi Jingxuan lightly nodded in response.
Qin Zheng turned away with tranquility, preparing to leave this inner realm and return to the outer realm.
Yet just before departing completely, he subtly turned aside and remarked: "I understand that our goals align, but if one seeks to strengthen their faction at all costs..."
"I trust that Senior Shi is aware—I opened the Daluo Divine Treasure in the Sea of Rules."
With those words, Qin Zheng’s figure disappeared from the inner realm.
Shi Jingxuan shook his head and sighed softly.
He could discern the meaning behind Qin Zheng’s words.
Ordinary beings strive for ascension to Primordial chaos either through inheriting a Primordial Chaos Position in the heavens and earth or by unlocking the Daluo Divine Treasure.
But regardless of which method is chosen, the ascension must occur in the realm where one was born. Only upon reaching the other shore can this restriction be escaped.
Yet, for Qin Zheng to ascend to Primordial Chaos within the Sea of Rules, it reveals that he is not bound by this limitation and can leave the Thirty-Three Heavens anytime.
Moreover, coupled with his control over the Haotian Mirror, he can roam freely across boundless chaos without the need to fear pressure from the Heavenly Court.
While the reasons for Qin Zheng’s unique nature remain unknown, it is evident that if forced into a desperate confrontation, he would surely leave the Thirty-Three Heavens without hesitation.
Shi Jingxuan pondered further, sighed again, and his figure gradually faded into the void.
He was tasked by Daoxing Heavenly Venerate to temporarily remain outside the Primordial Cave Heaven, preventing any strong individuals from secretly approaching Qin Zheng and sparking unnecessary conflicts or misunderstandings.
...
Meanwhile.
Qin Zheng’s figure emerged in the outer realm, and he instantly noticed the Daluo practitioners of Primordial Cave Heaven surrounding him.
Among them, some appeared dazed, others were curious, and some showed anxiety. However, the moment Qin Zheng appeared, all of their gazes converged on him.
"Qin Heavenly Venerate, has the Thirty-Three Heavens completely withered and decayed? What of the other Great Realms?"
"Qin Heavenly Venerate, was the disturbance earlier caused by the complete purification of the Pollution Qi within the Primordial Cave Heaven?"
"Qin Heavenly Venerate..."
The Daluo gathered various expressions and asked their questions in quick succession.
Qin Zheng pressed his lips together, glanced over the group, and calmly replied: "Cultivate well, for knowing too much may not be a blessing."
Having left this remark, Qin Zheng stepped into the skies above Qionglai Great Realm, his gaze sweeping across Lingxu Realm below where the Human race flourished with untold prosperity.
His eyes shifted to the depths of the Demon Ruins, where a Great Demon still sat cross-legged atop a mountain peak. With a wave of his hand, the figure was obliterated.
Now that the Howling Celestial Dog had been slain, there was no need to concern himself with such trivial Demon race remnants.
Having dealt with this matter, Qin Zheng summoned the Haotian Mirror with a thought and opened an independent space, sitting cross-legged within.
His thoughts leaped like fish leaping from water, cascading into his mind one by one.
When he had been within the Thirty-Three Heavens, he only maneuvered within the Primordial Cave Heaven, never venturing beyond it to enter the sightlines of the Heavenly Court or the opposition forces.
Even after traveling to the Cang Mang Continent, he only discovered that the Heavenly Court was the origin of the ancient war and the source of the Thirty-Three Heavens’ corruption, yet he still knew little about the opposing forces.
Daoxing Heavenly Venerate was the first of them he met; his demeanor and grace left Qin Zheng with positive impressions, causing his early lack of vigilance.
But today’s events—the actions of Daoxing Heavenly Venerate—and Senior Shi Jingxuan’s words clarified the situation.
Even among the opposition forces, many harbored desires to seize the treasures he possessed.
Rather than seeing it as putting resources to optimal use to strengthen the opposition, it was because he was not yet powerful enough.
If he had already attained the legendary Tao Realm, none would dare entertain such thoughts or schemes.
Still... all of this was merely Senior Shi Jingxuan’s one-sided assumption—the specifics would only be understood upon actual interaction.
His thoughts came to a halt, followed by new reflections surfacing.
No matter what, it was now time to organize his gains. Qin Zheng turned his mind toward the Merit Scroll.

...
In the last battle, he had slain the Four Heavenly Kings and Thunder Duke along with Lightning Mother—six Primordial Chaos Without Limits—adding tens of mixed-element Heavenly Soldiers and Generals. Combined with remaining gains, his merit crystals amounted to over eighty thousand.
Still, Qin Zheng furrowed his brows slightly.
The required merit crystals for Tao Heavenly Dew were considerable—ten thousand to purify a single drop. He had intended to assess how much sixteen drops could elevate his power.
But upon review, eighty thousand merit crystals would only yield eight drops—half as many.
Qin Zheng shook his head, calming his faint disappointment. The pollution within the Thirty-Three Heavens was extraordinarily severe; the Heavenly Court itself practically served as its source.
With such a domain present, accumulating merit crystals swiftly would not pose a challenge.
These reflections lasted but a moment before Qin Zheng pulled his thoughts together. He took out a black bead from Haotian Mirror and held it in his palm, silently chanting: "Purify!"
Whoosh!!
Brilliant golden light erupted instantly!
...
Elsewhere, within a barren void further beyond, in a realm even larger than Primordial Cave Heaven.
The sharpness of Sword Intent mingled with icy winds, its roar capable of erasing mountains, rivers, and all existence.
In one corner of this realm, a towering Divine Mountain rose into the clouds, emitting an endless ancient aura.
Atop this mountain, an even larger Sword Array loomed—four Immortal Swords exhaling vast Qi Mechanism, entrenched in an eternal release of overwhelming slaughter power.
Immortal Slaying Sword Formation!
This was the ultimate killing formation brought forth by Daoxing Heavenly Venerate, capable of repelling the Heavenly Dao of the Nine Heavens, and recently returned as the heavens’ foremost defense.
Observers could see numerous caves dotting the Divine Mountain; some eerily empty, some tightly sealed. Any emergence of black aura would quickly be obliterated by omnipresent sword light.
Caves evident with black aura were soon engulfed by slaughter forces, triggering chilling roars and agonizing screams.
Outside the Divine Mountain, several figures were present, silently watching the events playing out beneath the Sword Array.
The void rippled, revealing the figure of Daoxing Heavenly Venerate merging into the group.
"Without the sword array’s suppression, certain changes have indeed occurred," he remarked.
An old Daoist with a goat-like beard sighed, shaking his head with resignation. "What a pity," he muttered.
A white-robed youth with stern countenance followed sharply: "Can that kid truly separate and cleanse Pollution Qi?"
Daoxing Heavenly Venerate replied: "My experiments on two Fake Gods showed that while Pollution Qi could be extracted, their lives could not be preserved."
A Big-Eared Monk folded his hands together: "Fake Gods have undergone countless reincarnations; if original vitality were present, it would have been long eroded away. Such results cannot be conclusive."
A commanding man then spoke: "Should we test those Dao companions residing in the mountain’s caves?"
A cold-voiced youth countered: "It’s possible, but only if we are the ones conducting the tests. That boy must surrender the Haotian Mirror!"
