Daqin Zhentiansi

These exotic energies, which are like deadly poison to ordinary cultivators and easily trigger inner demons, are rapidly stripped, purified, and transformed under the burning of the chaotic primordial power of the Chaos Furnace!
The demonic core, originally filled with a violent, chaotic, and annihilating aura, was refined by the Chaos True Fire, removing all impurities and stripping away the purest essence, transforming it into a brilliant golden crystal of Heavenly Dao power!
One by one, perfectly round and full Heavenly Dao Golden Pearls, imbued with the majestic and righteous aura of the Heavenly Dao, condensed and fell above the furnace. Their number was like a river pouring down, instantly piling up like a mountain, reaching millions!
Such a terrifying quantity is enough to support his cultivation and deduction for a long time to come.

This achievement made Zhang Yuan's eyes shine.

The demon race's resilient, ferocious blood essence, containing a unique life force, was refined in the furnace into blood beads as red as agate, and their number increased by millions.

The vast spiritual energy that had dissipated from the demonic energy was drawn into the furnace, compressed and condensed into a crystal-clear spiritual energy bead.

Also numbering in the millions, shimmering with a vibrant light, they provided him with an almost inexhaustible support for his daily cultivation and spellcasting.

At the same time, Zhang Yuan's divine soul was operating at high speed, analyzing the fragments of the origin imprints of several three-eyed demon clan powerhouses captured in this battle, especially their core vertical pupil origin divine power.

"The azure light cleaved through the sky, extremely condensed, a highly compressed law of destruction. Its soul wave impact was bizarre in frequency, specifically designed to break through mental defenses, and its spatial perception was keen and its positioning precise..."

A torrent of information surged within his divine sense, and profound runes appeared and disappeared uncertainly in his sea of ​​consciousness.

These exotic supernatural abilities were excellent nourishment for him, allowing him to glimpse the application of power under different rule systems.

Although he doesn't need to copy its demonic methods, the fragments of laws, attack methods, and energy utilization techniques contained within are enough to enhance his martial arts intent and broaden his cognitive boundaries.

As he reflected on his thoughts, Zhang Yuan calmed down and examined himself.

Without needing to look into his own body, he could clearly sense that every strand of flesh and blood was like refined gold, extremely dense, containing the immense power to move mountains and fill seas.

The characteristics of the Supreme Martial Body were fully displayed in the void of Qi Continent, where there was no deliberate suppression by the Heavenly Dao rules of Yongtian Continent.

The feeling of "unstoppable momentum" when facing ordinary enemies at the Void Realm is no accident.

He felt that even when facing a powerful cultivator at the Dao Inquiry Realm who had mastered the power of space, he could still fight him with his body, which had been tempered and contained the meaning of returning to the void and chaos, and with his martial will of being one with heaven and man. He even had the chance to kill him with his bare hands!

This is a confidence based on absolute strength.

Having been tempered in the Kunxu Star Remains Battlefield, and having just closely observed and analyzed the origins of the powerful alien demons, coupled with the nourishment from the influx of the Heavenly Dao Golden Pearl, his soul has become more solid, resilient, and clear.

That layer of primordial truth, dwelling deep within the soul, grew ever more profound and stable, like the unmoving core at the dawn of the universe.

The realm of martial arts, the state of harmony between heaven and man, is no longer the end.

He felt a more powerful and natural "momentum"—as if he himself were part of the laws of the Great Dao, and that every move he made could evoke the power of heaven and earth.

The understanding of martial arts has evolved from "aligning" with the Way of Heaven to subtly transforming towards "the body is the Way of Heaven" and "the will is the rule".

This is a sublimation that transcends skill and realm itself, and it is the cornerstone for his future ascent to higher levels.

In the quiet room, Zhang Yuan slowly opened his eyes. In the depths of his dark eyes, it seemed as if chaotic nebulae were swirling and disappearing, and the sense of desolation and annihilation flashed by.

Without needing to deliberately exude an aura, an invisible pressure that slightly distorts the space already permeates the air.

The gains were enormous, far exceeding the costs of this trip!
———————————————————— Outside the gate of Yunlan Immortal Sect.

The chaotic battlefield has been initially cleared.

The immortal sect disciples who survived the calamity wore expressions of relief, but were soon enveloped by new sorrows.

Sect Master Qingling Daoist was in a makeshift council hall, negotiating with representatives of several reinforcements.

The atmosphere was not friendly.

“Fellow Daoist Qingling,” a gray-bearded elder from the Ancient Chen Daoist Sect stroked his beard, his tone scrutinizing, “the fact that your sect was able to survive this great battle is truly a blessing for Qizhou.”

His gaze swept over the crowd around him: "But the Three-Eyed Demon Clan has come out in full force this time, on an unprecedented scale. Our Ancient Chen Dao Sect has dispatched elites across domains to provide assistance, and the losses have been enormous."

"When will your sect's previous promise of 'sharing the sect's millennia-long accumulation' be fulfilled? And what will be the main assets involved?"

His gaze unconsciously drifted toward the bronze fleet anchored in the distant sea, especially the majestic flagship "Zhenhai Zhou".

The Zhenhai Boat's sturdiness and grandeur made him and the other rescue forces extremely envious.

“Exactly.” A middle-aged man dressed in a robe with flowing cloud and water patterns, representing the Jingyue Dao Sect, replied with a hint of arrogance: “Our sect’s ‘Azure Sea Tide Sound Array’ has damaged more than three hundred array artifacts, and the compensation for our disciples has also been considerable.”

"Sect Master Qingling, the stock of books and medicinal herbs that your sect previously promised is probably a bit insufficient."

The young disciples behind him stared intently at the massive hull of the Zhenhai Ship and its imposing array of cannons, their eyes burning with fervor.

A beautiful woman from the Hehuan Sect, with a bewitching appearance and captivating eyes, chuckled sweetly, her voice laced with a sharp edge: "Hehehe... Brother Qingling, look, all of you fellow Daoists have come to help your Yunlan Sect, paying a price of real money."

A glint of light flashed in her eyes as she lowered her voice: "Let's not put the Yunlan Immortal Sect and fellow Daoist in too much of a difficult position. How about this?"

Pointing to the hovering Zhenhai Ship, her face revealed an undisguised eagerness: "That fleet of unknown origin, that giant ship, looks truly extraordinary. It must have played a significant role in the great battle, right?"

"Since we are fellow practitioners and have been moored at your mountain gate, as the host, would it be convenient for Brother Qingling to introduce us to someone? Or perhaps we could consider them as part of the spoils of war and coordinate their ownership?"

"By sharing the resources of the giant ships, we can somewhat make up for the losses. I think those ships themselves are priceless treasures!"

Her proposal was practically robbery, directly targeting the value of the Zhenhai Boat itself.

Although the other representatives did not immediately agree, their gazes toward Zhenhaizhou were extremely greedy and intense.

Clearly, the Zhenhai Ship's powerful defenses and devastating attacks, along with the unknown technology it carried, made these greedy and self-important "reinforcements" extremely covetous.

In their eyes, this "mysterious fleet" that suddenly appeared and saved the Yunlan Sect had become the biggest easy target.

Qingling Daoist's face turned extremely ugly, filled with both anxiety and anger. (End of Chapter)
