Chapter 128: Chapter 125: The Heritage Spirit Bead! Merits Skyrocket! (Please Subscribe)

A pearl emitting a dim glow spun in Qin Zheng’s mind.

Accept... Submit... Offer tribute...

At the same time, a series of twisted thoughts, accompanied by a number of magnificent images, continuously emerged in Qin Zheng’s mind.

Soar through the sky... Transcend the ordinary... Immortality... Become a saint and an ancestor...

That pearl was like a source of contamination, constantly polluting Qin Zheng’s soul and will.

Qin Zheng was not going to sit idly by, and with determination, he immediately activated his spiritual martial arts.

Under the gathering of his substantial spiritual power, he quickly formed a series of sharp arrows that raced towards the pearl.

Mental attacks could be used internally as well as externally!

Just as Qin Zheng’s mental attack touched the pearl, the pearl shuddered, and suddenly countless screams exploded from within.

"Let go! Let me out!"

"I don’t want to be trapped here!!"

"It hurts so much!! Let me out quickly!!"

"..."

Thousands of voices appeared simultaneously, like a bombardment, shattering Qin Zheng’s mental attack.

Immediately after, a series of phantoms emerged from the pearl.

Qin Zheng’s mind tensed as he observed the phantoms, realizing they were indeed the souls of the human race!

And their numbers were vast, nearly a thousand or more!

At this moment, their faces were contorted, their wails unceasing, as if they were enduring tremendous pain inside.

Hum!

Just then, the pearl’s glow intensified, and the trapped souls inside emitted even more piercing screams.

Then, under Qin Zheng’s watchful eye, the souls quickly dissipated.

Accompanying their dispersal, the glow emanating from the pearl grew brighter!

At the same time, that corrupting force became stronger, beginning to forcefully twist Qin Zheng’s soul and will!

Qin Zheng immediately had to gather his spirit and continuously operate his spiritual martial arts, using an endless stream of spiritual power to combat the pearl.

Amidst such intense use of spiritual power, the area between his eyebrows grew hot, starting to prickle with pain.

Hum!

As the stalemate continued, another humming sound arose.

But this time, the source of the hum was not the pearl, but from between Qin Zheng’s eyebrows!

A stream of light emerged from his forehead, and then a jade Ruyi materialized in Qin Zheng’s mind, hovering above the pearl.

Then, with a gentle movement from the Ruyi, a soft yet irresistible force appeared, instantly pushing the pearl out of Qin Zheng’s mind.

With its departure, the cacophony in his mind ceased, and Qin Zheng’s brain immediately became clear.

He abruptly opened his eyes and instantly saw the odd pearl emitting a dim glow.

Now expelled, the pearl seemed to sense the power of the jade Ruyi and tried to flee.

But just then, Qin Zheng’s brow stirred, and the Ruyi materialized directly above the pearl, making another gentle movement.

Immediately, under Qin Zheng’s gaze, the pearl came to a halt.

Then, like a deflated ball, a series of souls rapidly bolted from the pearl.

"I’m out! I’m out!"

"Thank you! Thank you!"

"..."

These souls, trapped inside the pearl, seemed not to have noticed the jade Ruyi; upon their release, their first sight was Qin Zheng.

They all promptly bowed to Qin Zheng in thanks and then quickly vanished into the world.

In just a few moments, after all thousand-plus souls had departed, the pearl seemed to have lost all its power and any signs of magic.

The dim light faded, and then it fell straight down.

Qin Zheng reached out his hand and caught the pearl.

The jade Ruyi, too, once more like a streak of light, darted into the space between Qin Zheng’s eyebrows, falling silent.

The Jade Ruyi...

Qin Zheng’s eyes narrowed in thought.

It was what he had obtained from Gao Wusheng’s mother while in Black Goose City.

He had suspected it to be extraordinary, but had not anticipated it to be so powerful, seemingly a treasure of significance.

However, at the moment, the jade Ruyi was not under Qin Zheng’s control. It had retreated into the space between his eyebrows where he stored his spiritual power.

It seemed to act only when it sensed danger to Qin Zheng, lending its aid.

Such a treasure, perhaps only when one became strong enough, could one call it out for detailed study.

Qin Zheng thought this to himself, then turned his gaze back to the pearl in his hand.

Through the torment of the enchanting voices, Qin Zheng had come to understand that this pearl was the source of Gao Wuyun’s bizarre resurrection!

And the source of its power was the souls sealed within it!

Consuming those souls, the pearl gained the ability to resurrect flesh from death, to bring back a shattered existence!

However, the number of uses was limited to no more than nine, and with each resurrection, one ninth of one’s own soul would be drained.

After being killed nine times in succession, nine parts of the soul would be absorbed by the pearl.

And the remaining part was sacrificed into the pearl at the initial use!

After the ninth time, the soul would completely perish.

But... this was only for ordinary beings.

If one were like Gao Wuyun, a direct possessor of the pearl,

they could sacrifice living souls to offset the pearl’s draining of their own soul!

One hundred living souls could offset one extraction.

That is to say, the souls of one hundred people could allow the possessor of the pearl to resurrect without sacrificing their own soul!

No wonder Gao Wuyun was so reckless, not fearing himself in the slightest.

With over a thousand living souls within this pearl, it meant he could resurrect more than ten times unscathed!

With his own soul included, he was afraid that he could possibly revive more than twenty times!

How could such a bizarre item exist in the world!

Qin Zheng held the bead, his eyes slightly solemn.

The waters of this world seemed deeper than those he currently knew.

While he pondered, the Merit Scroll above the Heart Sea trembled lightly.

Immediately after, a new line of text emerged.

[Discovered item: Heritage Spirit Bead, can be refined. Refinement requires ten thousand jin of merit, do you wish to refine?]

[Note: Refinement will yield the Cultivation Technique: Limitless Descent Secret Record (Legendary Level)]

[Note: The Heritage Spirit Bead has been contaminated. Forced refinement may carry risks!]

Heritage Spirit Bead... ten thousand jin of merit... Cultivation Technique... Legendary Level...

Each of these terms refreshed Qin Zheng’s understanding.

This was the first time he encountered such a situation, where merely refining required ten thousand jin of merit!

It was simply unimaginable!

And this wasn’t a martial art, but a cultivation technique, surely much more powerful than any martial art.

Add to that, this cultivation technique was tagged with ’Legendary Level.’

This technique was definitely extraordinarily powerful!

But...

Firstly, he currently didn’t have enough merit to refine it.

Secondly, the last piece of information from the Merit Scroll indicated that the Heritage Spirit Bead was contaminated and that forced refinement would be risky!

Considering those trapped human souls, Gao Wuyun’s revival from death, and the bursts of demonic sounds coming from the bead when it entered his mind,

Qin Zheng also dismissed the idea of the bead.

No matter what, it wasn’t something he could covet at the moment.

It could instead be saved for later. Once he became powerful enough, he could take it out again.

Thinking this, Qin Zheng’s gaze then fell on the Merit Scroll.

In this battle, he had killed quite a few heinous individuals, and the merit he had accumulated should be enough to open another Life Wheel.

But just this glance made Qin Zheng freeze.

[Qin Zheng]

[Lifespan: 150 (17)]

[Martial Arts: Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique (Level 68), Secret Awareness Spirit Book (Great Achievement), Nine Revolutions Golden Body Technique (Sixth Revolution)...]

[Merit: One Thousand Six Hundred Fifty-Eight Jin Four Taels Seven Qian]

[Current Martial Art: Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique can be elevated, requires one jin of merit, do you wish to elevate?]

[Current Martial Art: Secret Awareness Spirit Book can be elevated, requires one thousand jin of merit, do you wish to elevate?]

[Current Martial Art: Nine Revolutions Golden Body Technique can be elevated, requires five hundred jin of merit, do you wish to elevate?]

[Discovered martial art...]

After killing Gao Wuyun, he had only accumulated just over five hundred jin of merit.

Why did it suddenly increase by a thousand jin, bringing the total merit to over one thousand six hundred, nearly seventeen hundred jin!

Qin Zheng’s thoughts turned, and he immediately thought of those souls’ sincere thanks as they dispersed earlier.

Could it be by freeing those souls from the bead, he had additionally acquired a thousand jin of merit?

That must be it!

Otherwise, he hadn’t done anything to deserve so much merit all of a sudden.

With this thought, a surge of ecstasy burst forth in Qin Zheng’s heart!

Considering the previous situation, for the remaining three revolutions of the ’Nine Revolutions Golden Body Technique,’ each advancement should require five hundred jin of merit.

One thousand six hundred jin of merit was enough to complete the remaining three revolutions of the ’Nine Revolutions Golden Body Technique.’

In other words, Qin Zheng had already accumulated enough merit to open the remaining three Life Wheels!

He just need to find a quiet place to fully open the Seven Life Wheels and build the Bridge of Heaven and Earth, and he could ascend to Great Grandmaster in one go!

And upon ascending to Great Grandmaster and condensing the Gang Qi, he could elevate the Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique!

His strength would undergo yet another explosive increase!

An unexpected joy!

At this moment, Qin Zheng’s mind buzzed with various thoughts, and his spirits reached an apex.

He didn’t suppress his joy deliberately.

Still, he didn’t show it outwardly and closed his eyes, standing silently amidst the mountain of corpses and sea of blood, feeling the various emotions in his heart.

After a short while, the sound of the wind howled, and several figures appeared around him.

Qin Zheng then opened his eyes and looked at the members of Camp Geng who had arrived late.

"Lord Qin!"

Witnessing the mountain of corpses and sea of blood here, even these experienced Demon-Slaying Colonels couldn’t help being moved.

All had their heads blown off!

There wasn’t a single intact corpse!

The thick coagulated blood covered the ground and the heavy smell of blood made one’s heart churn!

What shocked them most wasn’t the dismembered bodies of the three Great Demons of the Demon Saint Realm.

What truly shook them was the image in front of Qin Zheng – a bloodstained white robe, likewise without a head.

If their information was correct,

This person was the Young Master Wusheng of the Quanyang Gao Family from the Provincial Governor’s Mansion!

Gao Wusheng from the bloodline of the Quanyang Gao Family!

Lord Qin had even killed him, cut him down directly!

Shocked, when they looked at the young figure in the gold-patterned profound robe, their eyes were full of admiration.

With such a person around, how could they worry about failing to quell the threat of demons!
