Chapter 725: Chapter 501: Organizing the Loot! The Beginnings of Conflict!

Crimson rays reflected in their pupils, revealing Nezha emanating bursts of divinity, his aura starkly transformed from before.

His gaze swept across those present, finally lingering on Daoxing Heavenly Venerate. His expression first showed joy, but swiftly turned to remorse.

"Nezha has troubled you, Master Uncle."

He respectfully bowed in salute.

Peel away the pollution, preserve the True Spirit!

Did it truly succeed?!

Qin Zheng’s heart stirred slightly.

Daoxing Heavenly Venerate’s eyes flared with complex emotions, followed by a soft sigh as he spoke slowly, "Though millions of years have passed, it is still possible to discern the difference at a glance."

With these words.

Nezha, still bowing apologetically, suddenly showed a subtle shift in expression, though he remained composed. Raising his head, he nodded and replied, "Nezha’s mind has been polluted for millions of years; indeed, I am no longer the one I once was."

Daoxing Heavenly Venerate shook his head.

Shi Jingxuan’s expression also revealed disappointment as he spoke, "Having battled for millions of years, this boy has likely exited the Heavenly Court’s Imperial Pond more than once. What True Spirit could remain?"

Nezha stiffened, prepared to explain further, but saw Shi Jingxuan raise his hand for a light tap. Instantly, Nezha’s body burst, disintegrating into ashes and dust.

A wisp of extremely faint yet pure Pollution Qi appeared amidst the ashes and dust, transforming into a streak of black light that vanished into the void.

Qin Zheng reached out to act.

Swoosh!

Light emanated from the black pearl in Shi Jingxuan’s palm. The Pollution Qi already fleeing into the void immediately reversed course, pierced through the void, and merged back into the black pearl.

"Leave it to you."

The old Taoist tossed the black pearl to Qin Zheng and turned to gaze at Li Jing, who lay dazed on the other side.

As if sensing the imminent threat of death, this being transformed by Primordial Chaos Without Limit first showed panic, then revealed a twisted, malevolent grin.

But.

Bang!

With a casual slap, the old Taoist instantly reduced Li Jing’s body to a cloud of black mist, which rapidly converged and solidified over his palm.

Having confirmed that it was impossible to both separate the Pollution Qi and preserve the True Spirit within his life essence, there was no longer any reason to keep the corrupted Li Jing alive.

At this moment, Qin Zheng held the black pearl formed from Nezha and could clearly sense the pollution contained within it; this pearl’s essence was far denser than the one formed in the Primordial Cave Heaven.

And on the Heart Sea.

Buzz!

Merit trembled, and lines of text surfaced.

...

[Detected Filth·Pollution Pearl, vile and distorted, source of chaos, can be purified, requires Merit Treasure Crystals: 100,000 pieces. Purify?]

[Note: Purification yields rare artifact·Tao Heavenly Dew·10 drops]

[...]

...

It was not one Pollution Pearl yielding a single drop of Tao Heavenly Dew; rather, the denser the Pollution Qi contained within the pearl, the more Tao Heavenly Dew could be obtained through purification.

Qin Zheng’s thoughts stirred, and the Haotian Mirror radiated light. The black pearl dissolved gradually in his hand.

"And this one."

The old Taoist tossed another black pearl over. Qin Zheng shone mirror light upon it, simultaneously observing on the Merit Scroll that this pearl was capable of producing five drops of Tao Heavenly Dew upon purification.

Not even half of Nezha’s.

Qin Zheng was faintly surprised. In his perception, Li Jing and Nezha had once been of equivalent power, with perhaps Nezha being slightly stronger.

But unexpectedly, the disparity in Pollution Qi within Nezha’s body was so immense. What could be the reason?

As he pondered, Daoxing Heavenly Venerate spoke again, "After purifying the Pollution Qi three times in a row, I imagine Little Junior Brother’s mind and spirit must be weary. Let this be enough for today."

With Nezha’s trial a failure, Daoxing Heavenly Venerate temporarily ceased his intention to use the Haotian Mirror to eradicate pollution for suppressed comrades.

Qin Zheng nodded. At this moment, the three Pollution Pearls still drifted within the Haotian Mirror’s space and could yield a total of sixteen drops of Tao Heavenly Dew.

A hundred drops would reach Primordial Chaos Without Limit!

A thousand drops would ascend to the Tao Realm of legend!

He was impatient to witness just how potent this so-called Tao Heavenly Dew truly was.

Daoxing Heavenly Venerate hesitated briefly, as though organizing his thoughts, before speaking with slight remorse, "Little Junior Brother, remain within this Primordial Cave Heaven for now. In a few days, I will bring you to meet the other comrades."

Finishing, he turned to Shi Jingxuan, nodded slightly, then stepped into the void and departed the Primordial Cave Heaven.

Shi Jingxuan remained standing where he was, looking at Qin Zheng as he said, "Previously, Daoxing Heavenly Venerate invoked the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation. You must have noticed that only one sword within the array was genuine."

Upon hearing this, Qin Zheng nodded, his eyes glinting, instantly grasping the implications.

Shi Jingxuan continued, "Battling the Heavenly Court for millions of years and enduring countless life-and-death struggles, they’ve relinquished many things in the pursuit of greater strength. So..."

Qin Zheng chimed in appropriately, "So they will seize the Zhu Xian Sword, or even the Haotian Mirror. Is that why Daoxing Heavenly Venerate isn’t bringing me to meet them yet?"

Shi Jingxuan smacked his lips, as if sorting his words, before elaborating, "It wouldn’t quite be ’seize.’ They would likely offer Divine Artifacts of equivalent rank in exchange."

"After all, the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation is the foremost Killing Formation under heaven; with the Zhu Xian Sword integrated into it, it would unleash even greater power."

Qin Zheng asked curiously, "Do they also possess Divine Artifacts on par with the Haotian Mirror?"

Shi Jingxuan hesitated briefly, then shook his head and chuckled bitterly, "Other Shore Divine Weapons, yes. Half-step Transcendent Divine Artifacts, no."

Though he wasn’t one of the Thirty-Three Heavens, he too harbored ambitions of defeating the Heavenly Court—or ruling over it, alongside its supreme master.
