Chapter 750: Chapter 513: Heading to the Eight Scenic Palace! The Showdown of the Yuxu Lineage!_2
At present, Daoxing Heavenly Venerate is only a step away from reaching the Mythical Level, whereas the few other reincarnated great powers possess True Spirits of Mythical nature, yet their Realm accumulation remains insufficient.
Thus, this expedition to the Eight Scenic Palace is not only to help the Green Emperor find the great elixir capable of mending his True Spirit, but also to explore opportunities for Daoxing Heavenly Venerate and the reincarnated great powers to ascend to the Mythical Level.
If all kinds of miraculous elixirs are available, it would be possible to instantly add five myth-level beings!
Coupled with the Green Emperor and the three myth-level great powers whom Qin Zheng rescued three years ago, there would be a total of nine legends, surpassing the Heavenly Court’s Tao Realm count in one fell swoop!
Adding Taiyi True Man and the old Taoist Shi Jingxuan to the mix would break into double digits, with a total of eleven mythical beings!
At that point, the Thirty-Three Heavens would no longer be a dominion solely of the Heavenly Court, and they would no longer need to remain hidden at the barren fringes of the Thirty-Three Heavens.
Qin Zheng’s gaze swept over the group before him, resting finally on Maitreya Buddha.
"Amitabha~"
"This humble monk will not partake in this journey."
Maitreya Buddha spoke with a smile.
Qin Zheng nodded gently, then extended his hands, and with a thought, the Haotian Mirror and the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Linglong Treasure Tower floated into position over his left and right hands.
"Excellent!"
Taiyi True Man’s eyes narrowed, and with an immediate motion, his hands formed seals, releasing a stream of light. The light first revolved around the treasure tower to extract its aura, then descended onto the mirror’s surface.
The Eight Scenic Palace is an Other Shore Dojo located atop the Nine Heavens and held tightly under the control of the Heavenly Emperor, rendering Qin Zheng’s power insufficient to directly construct a passage leading there.
However, with the assistance of Taiyi True Man, a myth-level great power, this task became barely achievable.
Witnessing the stream of light blend into the Haotian Mirror, a coordinate promptly appeared within Qin Zheng’s mind. As divine rays flowed from the Haotian Mirror, a pathway to this coordinate gradually began to form.
"How is it?"
Taiyi True Man asked solemnly.
The rest of the group stood tense, faces grim.
Perceiving the emerging pathway, Qin Zheng nodded and replied, "It’s possible."
At these words, the group’s expressions instantly relaxed, their relief evident—a weight lifted, their excitement and anticipation starting to show.
"Good! Let me blaze the trail!"
Taiyi True Man’s voice carried a note of joy as he strode forward, arriving at the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation. He reached out and took control of the formation.
"I’ll need to borrow Junior Brother’s Zhu Xian Sword as well."
Taiyi True Man remarked with a smile.
Qin Zheng had no objections. With one thought, a streak of crimson sword light appeared, instantly tearing through the void and embedding itself within the Sword Formation.
Rumble!!
As the formation rotated, an overwhelmingly fierce aura of destruction surged forth like an unstoppable torrent, growling fiercely in the void.
Under the intimidating power of the Sword Formation, the Pollution Qi lurking within the Divine Mountain shrank away once again in retreat.
"I depart now!"
Taiyi True Man bellowed, controlling the Sword Formation to leave this desolate corner and appear within the Nine Heavens.
"With my injuries healed today, I shall slay a few Tao Realm minions of the Heavenly Court for sport!"
Even across the boundless void, Taiyi True Man’s maniacal laughter rang clearly in the ears of the gathered group.
Under the hand of a myth-level being, the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation unleashed unprecedented terror!
"How dare you!!"
"Outrageous!!"
From the Nine Heavens came furious shouts, followed by the emergence of a blazing sun in the sky. Yet, torrents of sword qi surged forth, swallowing the brilliant sun in an instant!
The battle of legends erupted in an instant!
Meanwhile, before the Divine Mountain.
Buzz!
Old Taoist Shi Jingxuan stepped forth from the void, replacing the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation, taking his seat atop the Divine Mountain. He lowered his gaze to Qin Zheng and said, "It’s time to move."
With this proclamation, the Haotian Mirror had finally completed the construction of the passage. Qin Zheng wasted no time, activating the Haotian Mirror’s spatial shifting capability.
Swish!!
A blinding brilliance emanated from the Haotian Mirror, quickly swelling and contracting before condensing into a single point and vanishing.
Those standing at the same location—Qin Zheng and others—disappeared from sight, leaving only vacant ground behind.
"Amitabha~"
Maitreya Buddha clasped his hands together and recited the Buddhist proclamation once more. Sitting in lotus posture, his eyes closed, he began to silently twirl the prayer beads in his hand, immersing himself in Realm contemplation.
Golden Buddha light radiated brilliantly from his form.
...
Time and space reversed, the flow of light underwent transformations.
When the group emerged from the passage created by the Haotian Mirror, the first sensation they encountered was an intense bone-chilling cold.
This was not cold brought by temperature but rather the penetrating sensation of concentrated, extreme killing intent!
However, their minds did not issue warnings of danger.
Suppressing the urge to escape, Qin Zheng activated the Haotian Mirror’s ability, enveloping the group in cloaking obscurity. This resulted in the menacing aura dissipating swiftly.
Only then did the group extend their sensory powers outward.
Before them lay a dark void, filled with densely hovering meteorites on all sides, each inscribed with peculiar symbols and arranged meticulously in a specific formation.
Heavenly Master Zhang stepped forward and surveyed the scene, his expression sharpening. He spoke in a deep voice, "This is the formation established by the Heavenly Court."
Marshal of the Heavenly Canopy’s face darkened as he replied, "Are we blocked from entering the Eight Scenic Palace?"
"The Eight Scenic Palace is an elite Other Shore Dojo. Though the Heavenly Emperor cannot step inside, he would not allow anyone else to enter. This formation was likely laid down to prevent our infiltration."
True Spirit Saint Mother stated, her tone firm.
Emperor Zhenwu narrowed his eyes and added, "If we forcefully breach this formation to enter the Eight Scenic Palace, it will inevitably draw the attention of the Heavenly Emperor. We must find a way to circumvent this formation."
Daoxing Heavenly Venerate shifted his gaze toward Qin Zheng.
Qin Zheng furrowed his brow slightly, then attempted to use the Haotian Mirror’s power to construct a bypass to the formation, directly leading into the Eight Scenic Palace.
After a brief moment, the Haotian Mirror shuddered lightly, causing the group’s expressions to shift.
Relaxing his brow, Qin Zheng nodded and said, "We can evade the formation, though the construction of the passage will require some time."
Emperor Zhenwu nodded and said, "Now that Taiyi True Man wields the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation to divert nearly all attention from the Heavenly Court’s Tao Realms, coupled with Mr. Qin’s Haotian Mirror’s concealment, we should be able to proceed without issue."
"Alright."
Qin Zheng nodded, then seated himself cross-legged with his consciousness focused on the task of constructing the passage using the Haotian Mirror.
The rest of the group circled him, standing vigilantly to ensure his safety.
The surroundings fell into a still and desolate silence.
Then abruptly.
Daoxing Heavenly Venerate sensed an anomaly. With a tense demeanor, he lifted his gaze toward a corner of the void.
"What’s wrong?"
His movement ensnared the focus of the others, stirring their vigilance.
"Someone is coming."
Daoxing Heavenly Venerate responded gravely.
Buzz!
Hearing this, the group fell silent. With radiant energy swirling around their forms, each produced their weapons and began to gather strength.
The next instant.
Swish!!
A beam of light materialized, forcing apart the floating meteorites surrounding them and revealing a void corridor.
A solemn figure adorned in silver-white armor and draped in a black wolf cape emerged, gripping a Three-pointed Two-bladed Blade as he approached the group with deliberate steps.
As his form drew nearer, an immense and boundless aura surged forth like waves crashing ceaselessly upon the shore.
"That brat is about to ascend."
Golden Spirit Saint Mother remarked coldly.
The group’s expressions subtly shifted to heavier tones.
When the silver-armored figure stood before them, the atmosphere solidified into a vacuum, seemingly capable of halting even time itself.
"Yang Jian grows restless amidst stillness, deciding to wander. Yet who would have thought to encounter you old acquaintances here? It seems Taiyi Master’s orchestrated chaos truly serves to shield your movements."
Yang Jian spoke with an icy indifference.
Marshal of the Heavenly Canopy’s eyes flickered with cold sharpness, immediately stepping forth as if to challenge Yang Jian.
But at that moment, Daoxing Heavenly Venerate extended a hand to halt the Marshal’s movements and spoke decisively, "Yang Jian is of Yuxu’s third generation disciples. Today, it is my duty to act and cleanse the remnants of our lineage!"
With these words, Daoxing Heavenly Venerate took a step forward, his aura surging upward to clash against Yang Jian’s!
The two imminent Mythical Level contenders stood face-to-face at last!
