Chapter 702: Chapter 489: Haotian Divine Race! Bloodline Descendants! _2
Qin Zheng slightly furrowed his brows, then abruptly changed the topic and asked aloud, "Do you know when the next manifestation of the Haotian Mirror will occur, my friend?"
Yu Wen Yue raised an eyebrow but promptly replied, "Nine hundred and ninety-seven years have passed since the Haotian Mirror last manifested. The next time is in just three years."
Qin Zheng nodded slowly, then rose from his seat, turned to the young man, cupped his hands solemnly, and said, "Thank you for sharing this information, my friend."
After finishing his words, he did not linger and took a step, departing from this realm in an instant.
Only after his departure did the faint sense of estrangement between heaven and earth dissolve entirely, and the Daqian Imperial City returned to the Nine Suns Realm.
"Why, Qian Feng, my friend, did you inform him of this? Would it not have been better to let him suffer a calamity, to quell the frustrations in our hearts?"
Sima Shi immediately stepped forward and voiced his dissatisfaction, his tone carrying both confusion and indignation.
The young man gently waved his hand, and a branch of the peach tree within the small courtyard slowly descended, releasing droplets of aged brew into a wine jar.
Within just a few breaths’ time, the jar was filled once again. The young man reached out, grabbed it, and lifted his head, taking a large gulp straight from the jar.
"Good wine! Excellent wine!"
The young man’s cheeks flushed slightly, and the clarity in his bright eyes was soon shrouded by a haze of drunkenness.
Sima Shi’s expression shifted momentarily, but in the end, he let out a sigh of resignation and turned to leave.
But just in that instant, the young man’s voice rang out again, "That one from the Haotian Divine Clan is about to attempt forging Tao into myth."
This statement made Sima Shi’s expression change abruptly. He quickly turned back, fixing his gaze on the young man.
Yu Wen Yue raised his head and took another swig, continuing, "He has cultivated eight clan members over tens of millions of years, not to expand the number of the Divine Clan." fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
"He is purifying and amplifying his own Divine Blood. Now, with the Divine Clan totaling nine, nine being the extreme, it heralds creation."
"Had I not reminded him, that Haotian Mirror fragment of his would likely have ended up being the Haotian Divine Clan’s dowry."
"For millions of years, we have fought one another. Surely, you wouldn’t want to see the Haotian Divine Clan dominate the Nine Yang World and claim the Haotian Mirror, would you?"
Sima Shi’s expression grew grave as he asked, "Qian Feng, my friend, where did you learn of this?"
A matter of such significance, yet he was utterly unaware!
"Naturally from the Haotian Mirror fragment."
The young man shook his head slightly.
Sima Shi furrowed his brows and asked with some concern, "That Outer Mixed Elemental Being is but a Middle Realm Primordial Chaos; can he truly contend against that figure from the Haotian Divine Clan?"
Yu Wen Yue chuckled lightly, "A mere Middle Realm Primordial Chaos could never face a Primordial Chaos Without Limit, let alone one of the Haotian Divine Clan’s lineage. But..."
"He has no shortage of methods. Compared to a true Primordial Chaos Without Limit, he’s not much weaker. When the time comes, it’ll surely be a fierce battle of dragons and tigers."
"As for us, we need only sit and watch. Once both sides are gravely injured, we can reap the greatest gains with the least effort!"
Sima Shi’s eyes lit up upon hearing these words, and his previously furrowed brows instantly relaxed as his expression revealed a hint of amusement.
"So that’s how it is! So that’s how it is!"
"Using the Outer Mixed Elemental Being to obstruct the Haotian Divine Clan from attaining Tao into myth, and then exploiting the Haotian Divine Clan to seize the Haotian Mirror from the Outer Mixed Elemental Being!"
"Qian Feng, my friend, everything you’ve done has been merely to balance the powers of the two sides and prepare for the upcoming grand scheme!"
Sima Shi’s eyes gleamed as he reached an explanation for the young man’s actions in his mind.
"Could it be that even offering the Great Sun Fragment was to bolster that Outer Mixed Elemental Being’s strength, preventing him from falling too easily?"
"That move is truly brilliant!"
Yu Wen Yue smiled faintly, raised his head, and drank another mouthful of peach blossom brew. In the haze of his drunken eyes, a fleeting clarity gleamed.
During those brief moments of exchange earlier, he could feel the decisiveness of the other party.
If he had refused to hand over the Haotian Mirror fragment, the other party would indeed have made a move, prepared to battle to seize it.
But... how could a Middle Realm Primordial Chaos suppress a true Primordial Chaos Without Limit?
would he truly rely on that single Sealing Technique?
Yu Wen Yue harbored some doubts in his heart, but as the divine brew poured into his stomach, those concerns were temporarily suppressed.
Whatever the Outer Mixed Elemental Being’s reliance may be, it doesn’t affect him much.
He simply awaits the clash of the two, ready to step forward at the decisive moment and claim victory as the final winner.
Yu Wen Yue once again succumbed to the drunken haze.
Sima Shi’s eyes flickered before he slowly withdrew from the small courtyard.
He needed to closely monitor the developments on the Haotian Divine Clan’s side and prepare to intervene at any moment, seeking opportunities to benefit.
The courtyard regained its tranquility, only the sounds of the young man’s praise and the rustling peach tree branches reverberating softly.
...
Meanwhile.
At the border of the Daqian Dynasty.
Ripples spread across the void as a figure appeared from within, clad in a Gold-Patterned Profound Robe.
Qin Zheng gazed beyond the borders of Daqian, as though piercing through layers of void into the infinite realms, staring at the domain of the Haotian Divine Clan.
However, in the end, he chose not to depart from Daqian but descended casually onto a mountain peak, with a wave of his hand isolating himself from heaven and earth.
Regarding the information shared by the figure resembling a youth, he did not fully trust it.
Even if he convinced himself that the other bore no malice, the truth remained that he had robbed them of the Haotian Mirror fragment.
How could someone whose possession was snatched still be so kind-hearted as to remind the thief to be cautious next time?
Thus, that demeanor was undoubtedly calculated.
"The Haotian Divine Clan..."
Qin Zheng murmured softly to himself.
Whether it was the Monster Dragon or the young man’s words, all pointed to eighteen million years ago, when the core of the Haotian Mirror descended upon this realm.
Yet according to the Thirty-Three Heavens’ timeline, it was roughly just three million years ago when the beings of the other shore joined forces to break into the Polluted Land.
According to Daoxing Heavenly Venerate, the Haotian Mirror also shattered during that incident, scattering its fragments across the realms.
But eighteen million years and three million years—that time discrepancy is too vast to align.
Could it be a matter of differing temporal flows between worlds?
Or had the Haotian Mirror already been fragmented when the beings of the other shore besieged the Polluted Land?
If the latter possibility held, then could eighteen million years ago truly mark when the Heavenly God met his end, driving away the pollution of the Chaos Sea?
And the Divine Blood that descended alongside the Haotian Mirror core in the Nine Yang World—was it the Heavenly God’s Divine Blood or the corrupted Other Shore Divine Blood of that time?
He recalled Daoxing Heavenly Venerate’s assertion that several powerful beings of the other shore had been corrupted into monsters during that period.
Many thoughts swirled within his mind.
After some moments.
Qin Zheng gathered his thoughts.
No matter the complexities of this world’s circumstances, his goal remained singular: to collect all the core fragments of the Haotian Mirror!
Still, he decided to pause for now and refrained from directly heading to the domain of the Haotian Divine Clan beyond Daqian.
Since completing the Haotian Mirror core fragments required waiting three years, a little patience wouldn’t hurt.
Rushing too hastily might lead to falling into someone else’s schemes, and that would only create more unnecessary trouble.
With these thoughts, he reached out, and a mysterious Ancient Mirror radiating profound energy appeared in his hand.
As more core fragments were restored, the Haotian Mirror emitted increasingly potent energy and revealed greater capabilities.
Qin Zheng gripped the Ancient Mirror and focused his thoughts, immediately sensing two identical auras.
One came from the heavens of the Nine Yang World; the other originated from the enigmatic lands beyond Daqian.
Indeed, there were no Haotian Mirror fragments left within Daqian, so the young man hadn’t deceived him.
Qin Zheng nodded slightly. Now that the Haotian Mirror was becoming more complete, he could use its essence to locate the rest of its fragments.
He then directed a strand of his spirit into the Heart Sea and began studying the Merit Scroll.
The third Merit Technique had brought him immense joy.
Sealing heavens, subduing all things—it granted him the power to truly contend with and strategize against realms beyond Primordial Chaos Without Limit.
Even without the Three Pure Ones’ artifacts or fragments of the Haotian Mirror, he could remain composed and fight across levels.
However, activating the third Merit Technique had consumed nearly ten years of his time.
Though his Tao Origin Qi remained plentiful, insufficient for enhancing cultivation yet sufficient for unlocking new Merit Techniques.
Thus, Qin Zheng immediately willed it, channeling threads of Tao Origin Qi from his Inner Heaven and Earth into the Merit Scroll housed within his Heart Sea.
