Chapter 825: Chapter 554: Ten Billion Treasure Crystals! Divine Ancient Essence Blood!_2

At this moment, the Tao Fire in the Purple Gold Furnace was surging, with energy continuously pouring into his body like a tornado, but compared to the Tao Heavenly Dew, the effect was indeed not so rapid and obvious.

So after some consideration, Qin Zheng directly stood up, stepped forward, and left the Eight Trigrams Purple Gold Furnace, appearing in the Taoist Temple Hall.

The hall was filled with a peaceful atmosphere, instantly calming Qin Zheng’s impatience. He saw a Daoist sitting in the center of the temple, seemingly immersed in the deepest level of meditation.

On either side of the Daoist sat the Primordial Fake Body and the Lingbao Fake Body, but in terms of perception, the two fake bodies were not cultivating, but had reverted to a lifeless state.

At this moment, with the appearance of Qin Zheng, the Daode Tianzun who sat in the middle slowly opened his eyes, awakening from deep meditation, and looked at Qin Zheng, speaking: "Twelve full years, my young friend, you’ve been through a lot."

The great battle of that day was now twelve years past.

For Daode Tianzun or any Tao Realm Great Power, twelve years was just a blink of an eye, but for Qin Zheng, twelve years was indeed quite a long time!

He had been unconscious for twelve years, and during this period, even with the nourishment of the Eight Trigrams Purple Gold Furnace and the Tao Heavenly Dew, his injuries had not fully healed.

Qin Zheng furrowed his brow slightly but then suppressed the matter, instead speaking, "Heavenly Venerable, the Heavenly Emperor who appeared that day was not his true body, but his remnant."

During the battle that day, Daode Tianzun’s attention was entirely on the Red Moon Venerate, and it was he who had slain the Heavenly Emperor’s remnant; perhaps it was difficult for him to know the state of the Heavenly Emperor.

But unexpectedly, after Qin Zheng spoke these words, Daode Tianzun gently nodded, as if he had known long ago, and said, "The Heavenly Emperor is deeply hidden. Even when we chose to transcend, he had already achieved enlightenment at the other shore."

Hearing this, Qin Zheng’s eyes narrowed immediately.

The Heavenly Emperor had been able to achieve enlightenment at the other shore millions of years ago, so why suppress his realm and appear at the Creation Perfection level until a few million years ago?

As soon as this thought came up, a swift answer surfaced in his mind.

Transcendence to the other shore, Polluted Land!

At this moment, Daode Tianzun continued, "He even managed to deceive us at the time, and it wasn’t until the last battle when I saw that his avatar possessed the power of the other shore and could summon the Spirit Ancient Great Power from Polluted Land, that I realized."

"At that time, all those at the other shore in the Chaos Sea were suppressing their realms, waiting to transcend together and join forces to assault the Polluted Land. If he had chosen to achieve enlightenment at the other shore back then, he would inevitably have had to go with us."

"Perhaps at that time, he already saw clearly that the enemies in the Polluted Land were too powerful, and even if all those at the other shore in the Chaos Sea transcended together, they could not win against the formidable enemies within."

"So he chose to suppress his realm, and after we left for the other shore, with his cultivation realm, no one in the Chaos Sea could rival him, not even Xuandu could match him. He could slowly plan and bide his time."

Qin Zheng heard this and showed a thoughtful expression.

Slowly plan and bide one’s time...

Indeed, these eight words described the Heavenly Emperor’s actions over the past few thousand years, but until now, neither Qin Zheng nor Xuandu had realized that he intended to use the power of pollution to achieve enlightenment at the other shore.

However, it now seemed that his ambition was not enlightenment at the other shore, nor simply transcendence. He wanted to transcend but not go to the Polluted Land, or transcend and remain unaffected by the Power of Curse, not opposing the existences in the Polluted Land!

As for the method of not going to the Polluted Land after transcendence, Qin Zheng did not know, but he did know how to remain unaffected by the Power of Curse after transcendence, and not be enemies with the existences in the Polluted Land.

That would be to obtain the Ancient Clan bloodline!!

The root of calamity in the Polluted Land stemmed from the curse of the Ancient Clan. Only those with the Ancient Clan bloodline could maintain clarity within the curse and not degenerate into monsters.

The reason the Red Moon Venerate could retain sanity was precisely because he possessed a trace of the Ancient Clan bloodline, allowing him to maintain reason under the Power of Curse, without corroding like Dao Xuan, or undergoing significant mutation.

Qin Zheng did not know the current situation of the other shore who had entered the Polluted Land, but even Buddha himself had fallen and turned into a Human Skin Scripture under the erosion of the Power of Curse.

The result of those who assaulted the Polluted Land back then might not be too hopeful now.

As various thoughts swirled in his mind, looking at Daode Tianzun before him, his expression also became extremely solemn.

"The Heavenly Emperor has hidden in secret for millions of years, and now, after choosing to act, even his remnant has achieved the Other Shore Realm and can summon the powerhouse of Polluted Land through the seal..."

"He has already touched upon transcendence!!"

Qin Zheng opened his mouth, speaking almost word by word.

The passage between the Chaos Sea and Polluted Land had long been severed when many at the other shore transcended and joined forces to assault the Polluted Land.

Now that the Heavenly Emperor can summon existences from Polluted Land through a seal, there is only one possibility, that he has already touched upon transcendence and made the passage between the Chaos Sea and Polluted Land appear again!

Daode Tianzun nodded slowly at this moment, and on his face, a rare expression of seriousness appeared.

He was just a recently revived avatar, lacking the accumulation of time and years, and had not even reached Other Shore Perfection.

Even if he could possess powers far beyond normal at the other shore for a short time by transforming into Spirit Ancient Dao Soldiers with the Eight Scenic Palace, it was uncertain if he could suppress a Heavenly Emperor suspected of imminent transcendence.

However...

Daode Tianzun pondered for a few moments before speaking again, "Although he has touched upon transcendence, he should still be scheming at this moment, not choosing to transcend in the short term, otherwise he would not hide himself so well."

First, a Creation Perfection avatar, then a remnant at the Other Shore level, followed by summoning existences from Polluted Land to act, but his true self remained hidden without making a move.

Hearing this, Qin Zheng nodded, as his thoughts aligned similarly, though he still did not understand why, even after establishing contact with the existences in the Polluted Land, and himself reaching the conditions for transcendence, he had not yet chosen to transcend?

Could it be, although the Heavenly Emperor established contact with the existences in the Polluted Land and feared no targeting after transcendence, he had not yet fused with the Ancient Clan bloodline and feared being eroded by the Power of Curse after transcendence?

Ancient Clan bloodline...

Qin Zheng immediately thought of the purified Heavenly Bow and the Corpse Wrapping Cloth, which could obtain Divine Ancient Essence Blood; this could be considered the Ancient Clan bloodline, right?

If I fuse it, could I even prevent the Power of Curse from eroding me upon entering the Polluted Land?

This thought had just arisen when he thought of the Merit Scroll above the Heart Sea, and with this divine artifact, the curse could never erode him.

Qin Zheng’s thoughts circled, then he looked at Daode Tianzun, pondering as he asked, "Heavenly Venerable, do you know how those at the other shore, who entered Polluted Land back in the day, resisted the erosion of the Power of Curse?"

As he spoke, he reached out to take the Human Skin Scripture, entwined with Buddha’s light and black aura, and slowly handed it to Daode Tianzun.

Daode Tianzun first shook his head gently, responding, "My true self sliced off this consciousness to merge into the Eight Scenic Palace the moment it entered the Polluted Land, so even I am not very clear about the situation within Polluted Land."

After speaking, he reached out to take the Human Skin Scripture. Within his eyes, his pupils trembled, as if countless words appeared instantly, but this phenomenon disappeared in an instant.

Daode Tianzun sighed softly at this moment, handing back the Human Skin Scripture to Qin Zheng, speaking simultaneously, "I have understood."

"The reason for Nine Provinces’ fall stems from the Ancient Clan’s curse, so to avoid the erosion of the Power of Curse, one must have the bloodline of the Ancient Clan."

Qin Zheng showed a hint of surprise.

Daode Tianzun directed his gaze at the Human Skin Scripture, as if seeing an old friend, slowly explaining, "He told me."

Qin Zheng lowered his head to look at the Human Skin Scripture before him, more surprised that it still retained a trace of Buddha’s consciousness to convey messages.

Then he heard Daode Tianzun’s voice continue, "But besides the path of fusing the Ancient Clan bloodline, there is another path to choose!"
