Chapter 181: Chapter 177 Refinement! Dharmakaya-Level Technique! (Please Subscribe)

Qingzhou, Yongan County, outside Camp Geng.

The crowd stared at the gigantic bear paw that fell from the sky and smashed onto the earth in front of them, faces filled with disbelief.

A bear paw of a great demon falling from the sky?

Some of the braver souls slowly stepped forward, extending a hand to verify its authenticity.

"Stand back!!"

At that moment, Yu Liang let out a loud shout, pushing the crowd aside.

He took a step forward and instantly arrived in front of the bear paw, as huge as a small hill.

He looked at the bear paw that made his heart tremble, constantly trying to dismiss the incredible thought in his mind.

But the aura that the bear paw emitted indeed made his heart chill and filled him with dread.

Impossible!

Qin Zheng was just a Half-Step Martial Saint!

How could he possibly sever a bear paw of the Great Sage Moxu?

That was a demon race Great Saint on par with the National Martial Saint!

Yu Liang’s heart roared madly.

Then, he extended a hand to touch the bear paw in front of him.

Slap!

Right at that moment, a large hand appeared, swung down casually, and knocked his reaching hand away.

Huh?!

He furrowed his brow, impatience and anger flashing in his eyes.

But when he shifted his gaze and saw the figure opposite him, his eyes trembled imperceptibly.

The figure was clad in a gold-patterned profound robe, stained and tattered with blood, and the exposed skin bore deep bone-visible gruesome wounds!

Moreover, his aura had plummeted to that of an ordinary person, and with such severe injuries, he likely wouldn’t survive much longer!

In an instant, he recognized the individual’s identity—it was Qin Zheng, who had ventured deep into the Moxu Demon Lair.

Following that realization, the tension in his heart gradually relaxed, and he himself felt at ease.

Even if he fought and did not die against a Great Saint, even severing the opponent’s arm, so what?

He still couldn’t live for much longer and was about to die.

Now that his aura had plummeted to that of an ordinary person, what combat strength could he have left?

Once dead, he would still be the stabilizing needle of Qingzhou, capable of influencing the safety of Qingzhou.

And... a bear paw of a Great Saint Realm would certainly be greatly beneficial when eaten, allowing his strength to grow even more robust!

In just that instant, many thoughts surfaced rapidly in his mind.

At that moment, an urgent cry for help sounded out.

"Junior Brother Qin!!"

Fuyu took a step and instantly arrived in front of Qin Zheng, asking anxiously with concern, "Junior Brother Qin, you..."

"The quality of this bear paw you brought is exceptional; I will offer it to His Majesty on your behalf," Yu Liang spoke calmly, interrupting Fuyu.

Fuyu froze for a moment; he originally wanted to ask about Qin Zheng’s grave injuries given that he had never seen Qin Zheng so severely wounded since they had met.

Being interrupted by Yu Liang, although he was annoyed, he had to remain silent for the time being.

Because Yu Liang was not only a Half-Step Martial Saint but also a man of His Majesty!

Qin Zheng, however, appeared calm, unfazed, and just gazed steadily back at him.

Clad in a gold-patterned black robe, with a mysterious and majestic presence, he was dressed consistently with the person who had spied on him the other day.

Considering what he had just said, Qin Zheng understood the man’s identity.

This person must be the Half-Step Martial Saint that the court summoned Hua Qingyun back to the Capital City and re-assigned here!

"Where were you when the Black Water Demon Dragon invaded Qingzhou?" Qin Zheng did not respond to what Yu Liang had just said, but instead, turned the conversation to ask him.

Based on the timeline, that person should have already arrived in Qingzhou.

Upon hearing this, Yu Liang frowned, and his expression turned cold.

"Are you questioning me, or are you questioning His Majesty?!"

"I told you..."

Boom!

A shadow suddenly flew backwards, crashing into the distant mountains like a cannonball.

Boom boom boom!

Following that, the mountain collapsed, and thick dust billowed into the sky!

Qin Zheng calmly withdrew his fist and said to the stunned crowd, "He should be unconscious now; go bring him back."

"Yes!"

Immediately, Colonels and Minor Generals around saluted with fists clasped, then used their Qinggong to rush toward the ruined remains of the collapsed mountains.

Qin Zheng then turned to Fuyu and shook his head, "I’m fine. How is Master?"

Fuyu came back to his senses and quickly said, "Senior Sister Sun is here too. With her treatment, Master should be fine."

Qin Zheng nodded, then turned his head and saw Sun Zhilan in a plain white robe stepping out of the tent, also staring at him in astonishment.

"Thank you all for your efforts. This bear paw was chopped off from the Great Sage Moxu. The flesh of a Great Saint Rank monster might help with healing. I don’t know much about it, so you decide on your own," Qin Zheng spoke again.

Boom!!

His calm words exploded like thunder in the minds of the crowd!

They all felt dazed, as if the world was an illusion, with all thoughts coming to a halt.

Only four words continuously echoed in their minds:

Great! Sage! Moxu!

"Uh-huh."

Sun Zhilan subconsciously nodded in response.

After Qin Zheng finished speaking, he didn’t pay attention to the shock of the crowd, simply stepped forward, and instantly vanished from where he stood.

A moment later, he appeared inside a quiet tent.

This was the tent built for him by Camp Geng when he was defending Yongan County; currently, it was unoccupied.

It was only there that his complexion turned deathly pale.

Great Saint! Great Saint!

Indeed, a Great Demon on par with a National Martial Saint is not a simple character!

Although Qin Zheng managed to chop off one of the opponent’s bear paws, he himself was also seriously injured, almost the worst injuries he had suffered since he stepped into the world of Martial Arts!

Fortunately, after this battle, the Moxu Demon Lair will not target Qingzhou for a short time.

Even to say, if no other Demon Dens join in, the Moxu Demon Lair would not target Qingzhou again!

Because Qingzhou has Qin Zheng!

A human race powerhouse capable of rivaling a Great Demon of the Demon race!

With him stationed in Qingzhou, even if Great Sage Moxu himself comes, he won’t be able to gain any advantage!

Such thoughts surged in Qin Zheng’s eyes as he contemplated.

However, a few moments later, he sighed softly.

Then he reached out his hand, and a dan pill as lustrous as jade appeared in his hand.

He originally thought the items confiscated from several Semi-Saints would be useless, but he didn’t expect them to come to use so quickly.

After placing the dan pill into his mouth, a powerful medicinal strength burst forth instantly, rapidly circulating throughout his body, healing his wounds.

At the same time, with a thought, Qin Zheng’s consciousness submerged into his Heart Sea, checking the information on the Merit Scroll.

[Qin Zheng]

[Lifespan: 500 (17)]

[Martial Arts: Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique (Perfection), Eighty-One Transformations to Saintliness Scripture (Perfection), True Dragon Divine Refinement Scripture (Perfection)...]

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

[Discovered Martial Arts: Tai Chi Primordial Seal, available for refinement, requires Five Thousand Jin of Merit, refine?]

[Discovered Item: Black Dragon Demon Pill, available for refinement, requires Five Thousand Jin of Merit, refine?]

[Note: Refining will yield the Cultivation Technique: True Dragon Immortal Body (Dharmakaya Level)]

[Discovered...]

Through this battle, Qin Zheng had slain countless Great Demons, accumulating merit that broke through the limit, reaching over ten thousand!

Only in the last moments, he pushed all the various Martial Arts he practiced to Perfection without concern for the cost!

While this earned him the power to rival a Great Demon of the Demon race, it also depleted nearly ten thousand Jin of merit, leaving him with just over seven thousand Jin of merit.

Now he had taken the Great Grandmaster realm to its limit!

To break through further would be to reach the Martial Saint Realm!

Turning his own human body into a crucible, fusing Essence Qi Spirit as one, to make a breakthrough!

Thus, he would be able to ascend as a Martial Saint!

But as to how to achieve this step, Qin Zheng was momentarily without a clue.

Therefore, before making the breakthrough, two choices lay before Qin Zheng.

Tai Chi Primordial Seal!

True Dragon Immortal Body!

One, a Martial Art transmitted from the mysterious Jade Ruyi.

One, a Cultivation Technique labeled as Dharmakaya Level by the Merit Scroll.

Refining either would require Five Thousand Jin of Merit.

And Qin Zheng’s current accumulation of merit is just over seven thousand Jin, forcing him to choose only one.

As for re-entering the Moxu Demon Lair to slay monsters...

Thoughtful colors flickered through Qin Zheng’s eyes as he pondered the feasibility.

A few moments later, he gently shook his head.

This time, by stirring up trouble in the Moxu Demon Lair—not only slaughtering a large number of monsters but also engaging Great Sage Moxu in a great battle—the other side had become much more vigilant.

If he were to enter the Moxu Demon Lair and take action again, he feared it would lead to the other side fighting back once more.

And with his current serious injuries, he was temporarily unable to exert his full strength, so he decided to put this idea aside for now.

Tai Chi Primordial Seal, True Dragon Immortal Body.

First, peacefully choose one to refine, and after your strength climbs again, then go and sweep the Moxu Demon Lair clean!

By clearing the monsters and accumulating enough merit, then refine the other Martial Art!

So...

Which one should he choose now?

Both Martial Art Techniques are extremely profound, making one eager to refine them.

Qin Zheng closed his eyes for a moment, weighing his options.

Shortly after, he opened his eyes—his decision was made.

True Dragon Immortal Body!

This Cultivation Technique is marked as Dharmakaya Level by the Merit Scroll!

Compared to the Tai Chi Primordial Seal, which was not marked with any specifics, this Technique seems to have more potential!

Moreover, based on his speculation, above Martial Saint lies the Dharmakaya.

So, this Dharmakaya Level Technique might be able to help him ascend to Martial Saint as well!

With this thought, Qin Zheng hesitated no longer and silently chanted, "Refine the Black Dragon Demon Pill!"

Humm!!!

From the Merit Scroll, Five Thousand Jin of Merit were instantly deducted.

Simultaneously, the Black Dragon Demon Pill disintegrated, merging into Qin Zheng’s body.

Moo!!

In an instant, Qin Zheng’s vision drastically changed.

There was faint starlight twinkling, but mostly a vast silence, devoid of any life.

This place... is it amongst the stars?

That thought emerged in Qin Zheng’s mind.

Moo!!

Subsequently, a dragon’s roar resonated through the void of the universe!

In front of Qin Zheng’s gaze, a massive Five-Clawed Divine Dragon appeared amidst the stars.

An imperial and supremely powerful aura swept across the entire cosmos in an instant!

Boom! Boom! Boom!...

Under the sweep of this aura, countless stars could not withstand the force and exploded!

And at that moment, a hundred and eight acupoints lit up on the dragon’s body.

Following that, a hundred and eight acupoints likewise suddenly shone upon Qin Zheng’s body!
