Chapter 771: Chapter 527: Tao Confirmation Myth! One Punch Annihilation!

The void rippled gently, breaking the silence as a figure slowly emerged in front of the ancient Daoist temple.

At this moment, Qin Zheng’s expression was grave, his mind still replaying everything that had just occurred as he wondered if the Merit Scroll had been discovered.

Dong! Dong! Dong!

Just then, several heavy thudding sounds dragged his thoughts back to reality. When he looked up, he found himself standing before the Taoist Temple’s main hall. Suspended mid-air was a pill furnace, its lid rattling as great pills within pushed it open repeatedly.

"Enough. Overthinking is futile; proving the legendary Dao takes priority."

Qin Zheng quelled the myriad thoughts in his heart, restoring his inner peace. He then turned his gaze towards the hall not far ahead and stepped forward.

Buzz!

The cluster of clear light still floated undisturbed in its original place.

Stepping into the main hall, Qin Zheng did not hesitate. He reached directly into the clear light, which immediately engulfed all his sight and senses in a dense glow.

When his senses returned, he first heard the creaking sound of wheels rolling over the ground, and then, a familiar carriage scene appeared before his eyes.

An old man, his eyelids drooping, seemed to sense Qin Zheng’s arrival. He opened his eyes slightly, gave a small nod, and said, "Not too slow."

He had instructed Qin Zheng to return before proving the legendary Dao, and now that he had, it indicated that the moment for this great step had arrived.

Qin Zheng immediately bowed respectfully and said, "This junior greets Mr. Li."

"Hmm."

The old man nodded lightly and then spoke slowly, "How confident are you in proving the legendary Dao?"

Qin Zheng pondered for a moment before replying, "About ninety percent."

Given the nature of the Merit Scroll, the thousand drops of Tao Heavenly Dew in his Inner Heaven and Earth should allow for perfect certainty in proving the legendary Dao. However, nothing is absolute, and he preferred not to overstate his confidence.

The old man’s expression remained calm, unsurprised by his response. He continued, "Regulate your Qi Mechanism and exit seclusion with me. How much Creation you seize next will depend on your own efforts."

Qin Zheng nodded solemnly.

Seeing his agreement, the old man slowly lowered his eyelids again, as if once more sinking into slumber.

Clack clack clack~

The sound of the carriage wheels persisted, yet the ride was exceptionally stable, with no trace of jolts or tremors, nothing like that of an ordinary ox cart.

Time drifted by slowly.

During this journey, Qin Zheng continuously consumed and assimilated the Tao Heavenly Dew within his Inner Heaven and Earth, speculating about the Creation to come.

Thus, it was best to elevate his foundation to its strongest state, striving to prove the legendary Dao in one decisive move.

One drop... two drops... three drops...

One hundred drops... two hundred drops... three hundred drops...

Qin Zheng became utterly engrossed in his cultivation. The Tree of Dao swayed, shimmering radiantly; the Dao Palace emitted resonant hums; and on the vast, boundless River of Dao, three Daoist silhouettes sat cross-legged in ethereal stillness.

As more and more Tao Heavenly Dew merged into him, his aura grew increasingly powerful.

Moo!

Outside the carriage.

The old ox let out a startled lowing.

The elder in the carriage lifted his eyelids slightly, extended his hand forward, and gave a light pat, speaking softly, "Quiet."

The ox’s head lowered slightly, as if chastised, and after letting out a few soft snorts, it quieted down, obediently continuing to pull the cart forward.

If Qin Zheng could see outside, he would have discovered that the surrounding scenery was endlessly repeating, cycling between the same few sights with no new changes appearing.

Thus, the old ox was not truly heading toward Hangu Pass but merely traversing a road of endless repetition.

The elder within the carriage showed no sign of frustration or anger over this, as it was his will that caused the ox to tread this eternal cycle.

Only when Qin Zheng’s aura suddenly stagnated—before rippling outward in waves—did the old ox take several steps forward, and the surrounding scenery shifted anew.

It was as though they were traversing the void; in but a fleeting moment, they arrived at their destination outside Hangu Pass.

A figure had already been waiting there. Seeing the ox cart approaching, with purple mist and radiant light trailing behind, the figure immediately called out in a loud and clear voice, "Purple energy gathers in the skies; the arrival of the Saint is witnessed. Please, grant your teachings!"

The old ox gradually came to a halt.

"Excellent!"

Inside the carriage, the elder opened his eyes and nodded with satisfaction.

He then turned slightly to glance at Qin Zheng, who was just beginning to stir from his trance. Rising to his full height, the elder took one step out of the carriage and another into midair. With a sonorous voice, he began to chant, "The Dao that can be spoken of is not the eternal Dao..."

Hua!!

In that instant.

The skies were filled with multicolored clouds, purple mist gathered in abundance, and the sun and moon shone together while wind and thunder accompanied them—a breathtaking celestial phenomenon!

Soon after, the heavens and earth began to tremble. A dense surge of Dao’s Qi Mechanism radiated in all directions, inspiring sentience in mountains and stones, trees and grass, and all living beings, as if awakening their inner spirits.

As the elder’s words of Dao echoed continuously, the phenomenon evolved further. The sun and moon receded, the multicolored clouds dispersed, and beneath the vast expanse of purple mist, countless characters materialized out of thin air.

Five Thousand Words of the Great Dao!

At this moment, the Saint’s teachings were revealed without reservation to the world. All beings could listen, behold, and commit them to memory!

In the carriage, as Qin Zheng fully awakened, he instantly saw the celestial phenomenon outside through the carriage walls. The characters floating in the skies came sharply into focus.

His pupils were immediately filled with the sight of the countless characters.

The Words of the Dao, the teachings of the Saint—the more he could commit to memory, the greater the Creation he would obtain!

Though he had previously obtained the Taoist Scripture of Purification, Qin Zheng’s heart understood clearly that this time was unlike the last!

The prior revelation comprised only three thousand words; now it was five thousand. This time, he would receive the complete Taoist Scripture!

Buzz!!

Above the Heart Sea, the Merit Scroll suddenly shook. Then, lines of text began to swiftly emerge upon it.
