Martial Arts Domination: Start with the Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique-Chapter 727 - 502: On What Grounds Do You Make a Deal with Me?

A cold voice filled with undeniable authority immediately silenced the atmosphere.

The few who had spoken earlier now looked down, eyes on their noses, hearts on their thoughts, refraining from any further comments, though their gazes intentionally or unintentionally shifted toward Daoxing Heavenly Venerate.

At this moment, Daoxing Heavenly Venerate slowly shook his head and calmly spoke: "Marshal, your words are mistaken. The Haotian Mirror is no ordinary object; its essence far surpasses that of you and me."

"Now that the Haotian Mirror has chosen its master, even if we forcibly seize it, we will not gain its aid. Instead, we risk offending Qin Zheng, which would be far more detrimental than beneficial."

The young man furrowed his brow slightly, immediately countering: "How would we know if we don’t even try? The Haotian Mirror has been in your hands for a million years—surely, there’s some semblance of sentiment?"

The white-robed young man who had spoken first also followed up at this time: "It is not that we intend to rob him of his treasure, but his Realm is insufficient to fully unleash the Divine Artifact’s power."

"We can pledge to him that we are only borrowing the Haotian Mirror for now. Once he ascends to Primordial Chaos Without Limit, we’ll return this Divine Artifact to him."

"Moreover... Daoxing, you are currently at a pivotal juncture. If you had the Haotian Mirror in hand, you should be able to achieve Proving Chaos and step into legend more swiftly. You know very well how significant a legendary existence would be to us."

At this moment, the Big-Eared Monk clasped his hands together and softly recited a Buddhist chant before joining in, "In the past, when the Nine Heavens underwent dramatic upheaval, we were caught completely off guard and could only escape with a shred of True Spirit."

"Now, even though we’ve endured tribulations and rebuilt ourselves, we are still quite a distance away from the Tao Realm. Only you, Daoxing, who were gravely injured but managed to escape, did not truly fall and have cultivated for a million years with the aid of the Haotian Mirror. You are but a step away from legend."

"If you succeed in reaching legend, we will have much more confidence when facing the Heavenly Court. No longer would we be forced to hide like this, unable to seek out the other companions who endured tribulations and rebuilt themselves."

The imposing man with a commanding presence remained silent.

The bearded old Taoist seemed like he wanted to speak but hesitated.

The cold young man spoke once again: "The Immortal Slaying Sword Formation is hailed as the Ancient First Killing Array. At present, aside from its formation diagram, it only possesses the Immortal Trapping Sword as a true sword. The other three swords, while remarkable, are merely there to make up the numbers."

"That lad possesses the Zhu Xian Sword, the leading sword of the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation. Should the Zhu Xian Sword return to its rightful place, the power of the Formation could surge up to seventy percent!"

"At that time, with Golden Spirit controlling the Formation, it might be possible to slay a legendary existence of the Heavenly Court!"

"We won’t take his possessions without compensation. Considering our resources, we can muster up a few Other Shore Divine Weapons of equal value. He may freely choose one for exchange."

Daoxing Heavenly Venerate furrowed his brow. He was not ignorant of the logic behind their words, yet among those present, only he had personally encountered Qin Zheng and could sense his extraordinariness.

For an ordinary Child of Fortune, forming alliances and transactions to strengthen one’s faction would naturally be feasible. But Qin Zheng was by no means an ordinary Child of Fortune!

To rise from a Great Realm sealed and suppressed, cultivating all the way up, establishing a Three Pure Ones foundation, and gaining the recognition of the Three Pure Ones Divine Artifacts—

Being so favored by the Dao Rhythms left behind by the Three Pure Ones, how could such a person merely be an ordinary Child of Fortune?

Most critically, the Haotian Mirror is a Half-Transcendence Divine Artifact. Even after millions of years in his possession, it had never acknowledged him as its master. He could only borrow its capabilities.

However, with Qin Zheng’s emergence, the Haotian Mirror immediately stirred. Had he not employed certain means, the Haotian Mirror would likely have left his grasp and flown straight to Qin Zheng.

Under such circumstances, as long as Qin Zheng remained unwilling, even if they wrested the Haotian Mirror away, they would be incapable of channeling its divine power. freewebnøvel.com

Thus, Daoxing Heavenly Venerate immediately shook his head, his gaze sweeping over the cold young man, the Big-Eared Monk, the white-robed young man, the silent imposing man, and the hesitant bearded old Taoist.

He spoke calmly: "I will not argue with you all, but I wish to point out two things. From the Great Luo Heavenly Number to the Daluo Golden Number, Qin Zheng took less than ten years."

At these words, the cold young man shook his head and replied, "The Daluo Realm, while powerful, is worlds apart from Primordial Chaos. That proves nothing."

Daoxing Heavenly Venerate remained composed as he continued: "From Proving Chaos to Upper Realm Chaos, he also took only ten years."

The cold young man’s face stiffened.

The expressions of the others immediately shifted.

Ten years to cultivate from the Great Luo Heavenly Number to the Daluo Golden Number is one feat, but ten years to ascend from Initial Realm Chaos to Upper Realm Chaos—this is an entirely different matter!

The latter is exponentially more difficult, harder by countless degrees. Even though they were great beings who rebuilt themselves through tribulations, they could not achieve ten years from Initial Chaos to Upper Chaos!

Daoxing Heavenly Venerate then continued: "Moreover, while Qin Zheng emerged from the Primordial Cave Heaven, he opened the Daluo Divine Treasure outside of the Thirty-Three Heavens to Prove Chaos."

"The implications of this, I trust you all comprehend. He is unlike us, bound by the heavens and earth. He could easily leave the Thirty-Three Heavens, roam the Chaos Sea, free and unrestrained."

The bearded old Taoist’s gaze sharpened, and he quickly asked: "He wasn’t born from the Pangu Great World?"

Daoxing Heavenly Venerate shook his head thoughtfully and replied, "I have traced his origins—indeed, he was born in a small realm of the Primordial Cave Heaven."

"However... it seems his True Spirit was tampered with, leaving him unbound to the Thirty-Three Heavens. Compared to us, he is like a truly autonomous being."

"He can Prove Tao anywhere, unshackled by heaven and earth, and no ascension of the heavens or earth would occur as a result of his proving."
