Chapter 724: Chapter 500: Tao Heavenly Dew! Nezha True Spirit!_2
"So even though I previously held the Haotian Mirror, I couldn’t bear to eradicate the Pollution Qi from so many fellow Taoists. I could only use the Zhu Xian Sword Formation to temporarily suppress it."
Qin Zheng’s eyes showed a trace of contemplation, while Shi Jingxuan’s gaze flickered as he asked, "You can extract and eradicate the Pollution Qi from someone’s very being?"
Daoxing Heavenly Venerate’s eyes also lit up faintly, a hint of expectation appearing in his gaze toward Qin Zheng. freewebnσvel.cѳm
The Haotian Mirror he owned was incomplete and couldn’t fully unleash its true power, but now the Haotian Mirror in Qin Zheng’s possession was complete.
A complete Haotian Mirror was undoubtedly far more extraordinary compared to the previously fragmented one!
Qin Zheng thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I’m not certain if it’s possible, but... perhaps I can try?"
Even the Merit Scrolls—those he had purified in the past—would inevitably cease to exist right after. The only exception was Shi Fanxin.
Thus, Qin Zheng himself couldn’t guarantee whether an individual would perish after their Pollution Qi was purified.
Daoxing Heavenly Venerate pondered for a short while. Then, with a light wave of his sleeve, he released two figures.
The first had three heads and six arms, emanating overwhelming murderous intent.
The second was clad entirely in golden armor, with a dazed and vacant expression.
Nezha and Li Jing!
These two were particularly troublesome. Previously, under the watchful eyes of the Heavenly Dao Realm, Qin Zheng didn’t dare easily use the Haotian Mirror or Merit Scroll to remove their Pollution Qi, so they had survived until now.
Now, upon being released by Daoxing Heavenly Venerate, the two displayed entirely different expressions but immediately opened their mouths to speak.
"You vile creature! If you dare, do not use the Other Shore Divine Weapon. Face this god purely with the strength of your physical body and see who is truly stronger!"
In that moment, Nezha’s physical body reverted, transforming into a form with three heads and six arms as he glared at Qin Zheng, roaring with rage. His entire being emanated ferocious murderous intent, and his eyes burned with fury that could not be suppressed.
"Li Jing has never fought against you all, but I carry a spine of unyielding pride and will not beg for mercy. Thief, strike and kill me if you have the guts!"
Li Jing, too, fixed his eyes steadily on Qin Zheng. Standing defiantly, his chest puffed out and his fine beard swayed lightly, radiating a dignity that seemed utterly fearless.
Yet, with Daoxing Heavenly Venerate’s seals in place, neither Nezha nor Li Jing could exert an ounce of power, leaving them both falling helplessly to the ground and shouting loudly.
Qin Zheng was immediately left speechless.
Was this purely because they saw him as the weakest among the three present, choosing to provoke him intentionally?
Qin Zheng sighed lightly before stepping forward, standing before Nezha, looking down at him and speaking, "You suggested a contest of physical strength. I accept."
Nezha’s furious expression suddenly turned to one of joy.
Yet, in the next instant—
Bang!
One of Nezha’s heads was instantly blown apart by Qin Zheng’s kick.
The remaining two heads first showed shock, but they quickly turned to uncontrollable rage as thick murderous energy surged forth, even mingling faint traces of Pollution Qi.
"Release this god now! Otherwise..."
Bang!
Bang!
Two more muffled explosions followed, and the other two heads on Nezha’s body were also blown apart.
Under Daoxing Heavenly Venerate’s seal, Qin Zheng casually applied three additional Sealing Techniques, preventing Nezha’s heads from regenerating and rendering him unable to emit any sound.
Nezha’s body trembled violently, and the rising murderous energy emanating from him now bore even stronger traces of Pollution Qi mixed within.
Li Jing had gone silent by this point.
Qin Zheng raised his head then, looking toward Daoxing Heavenly Venerate and asking, "Venerate, do you intend to use them for experimentation?"
Daoxing Heavenly Venerate gazed at Nezha and Li Jing, his expression becoming rather complex. He nodded first, but then shook his head.
"In the Heavenly Court, even those Immortal Gods who have succumbed to Pollution Qi can be resurrected in the Heavenly Court Imperial Pond after being killed, incapable of true destruction—unless their internal Pollution Qi is eradicated along with them."
"However... the Heavenly Court Immortal Gods are tied to specific divine statuses. Even if we expel the Pollution Qi from their bodies, new Immortal Gods would still emerge in the Heavenly Court to replace them."
Qin Zheng’s eyes flickered slightly, instantly understanding the Heavenly Venerate’s implication.
In other words, even if he eradicated Nezha and Li Jing before him and purified the Pollution Qi from their bodies, the Heavenly Court would still be able to forge replacements for them using the same Pollution Qi.
This was something he hadn’t known before.
So...
"Perhaps they are no longer who they once were."
Daoxing Heavenly Venerate sighed softly, but then he shifted his tone and continued, "Yet, even if the Heavenly Court possesses the Pollution Power, they cannot recklessly confer divine statuses."
"The divine ranks are already bound. Even if these individuals aren’t their original selves, once they inherit the ranks, it’s possible a fragment of the original True Spirit enters their bodies."
"Junior Brother, I ask that you attempt to strip them of their Pollution Qi while preserving the faint True Spirits hidden within their forms."
Qin Zheng’s gaze sharpened. Extracting Pollution Qi while ensuring survival was already uncertain; preserving hidden True Spirits whose locations were unknown seemed even more implausible.
At this moment, Shi Jingxuan spoke up, "Try to save their lives as you extract the Pollution Qi. If there are residual True Spirits, they should remain within the living bodies."
Qin Zheng nodded slightly at this point.
Regardless of whether the faint True Spirits within the two could be preserved, their Pollution Qi was undeniably a resource for his growth. It was just unfortunate that eliminating the two would have yielded six thousand Merit Treasure Crystals.
He took a step forward, placing a firm foot on Nezha and at the same time raising the Haotian Mirror to aim at him.
With a thought—
Swoosh!!
A dazzling light burst forth from the mirror, enveloping Nezha entirely.
Nezha’s struggles immediately intensified. Yet, with Qin Zheng’s foot holding him in place, he couldn’t break free, and black mist-like murderous energy continuously emanated from his body, endlessly churning outward.
Qin Zheng’s gaze sharpened as he controlled the Haotian Mirror, extracting the Pollution Qi from Nezha’s body strand by strand.
With Daoxing Heavenly Venerate and Shi Jingxuan, one nearing the Myth level and the other already a Myth-level figure, present, it wouldn’t be appropriate to use the Merit Scroll to purify outright.
Fortunately, merely extracting the Pollution Qi without dispersing it didn’t consume too much energy. Moreover, the complete Haotian Mirror indeed revealed its prowess as a Half Transcendent Divine Object at this moment.
Strand by thick, twisted strand, the Pollution Qi was drawn out of Nezha’s body, swirling in the air above him as if looking for an opportunity to return.
Upon seeing this, Shi Jingxuan immediately extended his right hand again, releasing a strand of mystical light. The refined Pollution Qi promptly flowed toward Shi Jingxuan’s palm.
Bit by bit, as time passed, the Pollution Qi extracted from Nezha gradually exceeded even the quantities that had once immersed the entire Primordial Cave Heaven.
At this moment, a peculiar gleam appeared in Qin Zheng’s eyes. As the Pollution Qi was drawn out, Nezha’s struggles diminished, but there was no sign that his physical body was collapsing.
This was unlike the heavenly soldiers Qin Zheng had slain previously, where purification always resulted in immediate disintegration.
Could it be that the Haotian Mirror truly allowed for the removal of Pollution Qi while preserving the lives of the corrupted beings?
If that were the case, then the mighty figures suppressed by the Zhu Xian Sword Formation and corrupted by Pollution Qi could return to clarity, potentially shifting the tide of their precarious situation!
At this moment, anticipation flickered increasingly in the eyes of both Daoxing Heavenly Venerate and Shi Jingxuan.
Only Li Jing, having overheard the conversation and witnessed the current scene, was struck with boundless dread. His complexion turned deathly pale.
As time stretched to its conclusion—
Swoosh!!
The radiance emanating from the Haotian Mirror abruptly surged to brilliance, then just as quickly receded into its original, dormant appearance.
Yet, Nezha’s body did not dissolve. Instead, it remained intact, lying lifelessly on the ground as though he were a corpse.
Qin Zheng lifted the foot he had planted on Nezha, and with a single thought, removed the seals binding him.
Daoxing Heavenly Venerate likewise casually sent a gentle glow into Nezha’s body, unraveling the seals.
As the two layers of seals dissipated, Nezha, who lay motionless on the ground, quickly regenerated his blasted heads. Simultaneously, his body began to stir slightly.
A few breaths later—
As his eyes reopened, a calm, clear voice resonated in the ears of everyone present: "Uncle Master?"
