Chapter 769: Chapter 526: Return to the Eight Scenic Palace! Conversation with Xuandu!
In the boundless and vast Chaos Sea, worlds are born and destroyed almost every moment.
After a world is destroyed, fragments of its rules remain, drifting within the Chaos Sea, eventually coalescing into a special place.
At this moment, deep within that special place, a figure is seated cross-legged, and with each breath they take, the infinite power of the rules in the heavens transforms into torrents, being inhaled into their body.
Exhale!
Inhale!
With each breath, the aura of the figure grows significantly stronger compared to the previous instance.
But suddenly—
Buzz!!
A burst of golden light appeared abruptly.
Immediately after—
"Puh!!"
A figure dressed in a Gold-Patterned Profound Robe plummeted from the void, blood spurting violently from their mouth.
The surge of rule power in the heavens dissipated as the figure seated cross-legged opened their eyes, turning to look while speaking: "Do you need to leave?"
Qin Zheng, his face pale, shook his head before responding, "Continue cultivating; he hasn’t pursued."
The Wandao’s Avatar nodded and closed their eyes again, immersing themselves in cultivation. The surge of rule power reappeared in the heavens.
Qin Zheng turned to look in the direction from which he came, shock and deep concern welling in his gaze.
The Heavenly Emperor... is too powerful!
Even in the final moment, despite Yang Jian, Sun Wukong, and Guang Chengzi—each bolstered by the power of Master Xuan Du and commanding the complete Immortal Slaying Sword Formation—combined, they still failed to suppress him!
Instead, they were counter-killed in desperation, and the storm’s overflowing force left him gravely injured on the spot—an utterly terrifying display!
What realm has the Heavenly Emperor reached now?!
With this thought, Qin Zheng’s mind stirred. With a wave of his hand, four fiercely murderous Immortal Swords appeared, a formation map hovering above them.
The moment the storm swept in, Qin Zheng felt an incomparably powerful Qi mechanism lock onto him, an extremity of life-and-death crisis erupting in his soul.
Qin Zheng knew the Heavenly Emperor intended to strike him down. Thus, with no hesitation, he activated the Merit Technique, tethering himself to Wandao’s Avatar, directly traversing layers of void to flee the Thirty-Three Heavens.
Just before escaping, the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation burst forth from the depths of Chaos, entering his Inner Heaven and Earth, accompanying him into this current realm.
This occurred when Guang Chengzi, that Creation Power being, abandoned further confrontation with the Heavenly Emperor and sent the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation into Qin Zheng’s body, preserving the last remnants of their strength.
Qin Zheng stared at the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation before him, thoughts racing in his mind.
After several moments, he consolidated his thoughts and extended a hand to refine the sword formation. With the complete formation as protection, unless the Heavenly Emperor himself descended, even a Creation Power-level being could pose no threat to him.
He then flipped his hand to take out the Haotian Mirror, erasing all traces of his aura before isolating the space around him, turning this realm into one where he left no trace whatsoever.
After completing these steps, he summoned the somewhat dim Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Linglong Treasure Tower. Only after stabilizing his emotions did Qin Zheng begin to heal his injuries.
During this process, he divided his consciousness, inspecting both the Merit Scroll atop the Heart Sea and the Pollution Pearl within the Haotian Mirror.

[Qin Zheng]
[Cultivation Technique: Primordial Golden Chapter, Taoist Scripture of Purification...]
[Treasures: Tree of Dao, Haotian Mirror, Immortal Slaying Sword Formation, Three Treasures Jade Ruyi, Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Linglong Treasure Tower, Purple Lightning Hammer]

[Discovered Filth·Pollution Pearl, malevolent distortion, source of chaos, can be purified, requires 8,706,000 Merit Treasure Crystals. Purify?]
[Note: Purification yields unique item · Tao Heavenly Dew · 876 drops]
[...]
...
This battle had killed ninety percent of the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, bringing his accumulated power to an unprecedented level.
Although only close to six million Merit Treasure Crystals remain, sufficient to purify the corresponding amount of Tao Heavenly Dew—it appears lacking for the thousand drops required for ascension to Myth.
However, when he purified the Pollution Qi within Guang Chengzi, he had already consumed five million Merit Treasure Crystals, gaining five hundred drops of Tao Heavenly Dew.
Adding that to his current reserves, he is now sufficient for advancement to the Myth Realm!
Previously on the battlefield, Qin Zheng refrained from immediately confirming his advancement to Myth for two reasons. First, the Heavenly Emperor’s overwhelming strength meant even reaching Myth could not change the outcome; surpassing into Creation would be necessary.
Second, someone from the Eight Scenic Palace preventing his imminent ascent into Myth appeared to have certain arrangements within that crystalline light sphere.
Qin Zheng’s thoughts surged, but he quickly calmed his scattered mind, wholeheartedly focusing on recovering his injuries.
...
Time passed unnoticed, ten years in the blink of an eye.
When Qin Zheng opened his eyes again, his aura had become flawless, and his various wounds had fully healed.
With a single thought, he withdrew the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation into his Inner Heaven and Earth, then extended his hand to grasp the Haotian Mirror, returning this separated space to the greater realm.
"How long until you reach Myth?"
Qin Zheng looked at Wandao’s Avatar and asked.
During the ten years of his convalescence, Wandao’s Avatar had not paused cultivation for even a moment. Bolstered by a unique constitution and the advantages of this extraordinary realm, the avatar had rapidly neared the Myth Realm.
Wandao’s Avatar opened its eyes, pondered for several breaths, then responded: "If I maintain this pace, another ten years."
Qin Zheng nodded; it wasn’t surprising given Wandao’s Avatar had been earmarked by the Merit Scroll as possessing innate Myth-level potential.
He turned his thoughts to the circumstances of another avatar, and slight astonishment crossed his face.
