Chapter 762: Incarnation Refined, The Haotian Golden Chapter

Inside the secret chamber, watching the stone gate slowly vanish, Champion Marquis revealed a thoughtful expression.

When the Moon Goddess Yue Qingxian headed to Manghuang, he had left a trace of fist intent upon her, entwined within Yue Qingxian's soul.

And as long as Champion Marquis willed it, he could perceive the events occurring around Yue Qingxian at any time through that fist intent.

The moment that trace of fist intent sensed the Witch Ghost Sect Master was about to flee, Champion Marquis conceived the intention to personally take action and suppress him to death.

But the two were separated by ten thousand miles; even the "Chi Chi Dao" could not arrive in an instant.

Who would have known that at this very moment, memories concerning the stone gate surfaced in his mind.

With a shift of his mind, the stone gate emerged from the void, and following that came the scene that Yue Qingxian and Jingren Heshang witnessed.

"I have a premonition. This stone gate is not inferior to the two Artifacts of Creation, the Artifact of Creation and the Eternal Kingdom. The Gui Cang Nine Paths, the stone gate... It seems my previous incarnation was an extraordinary existence; perhaps after hatching the Divine Stone Spirit Fetus, I should go and retrieve the memories of my previous incarnation."

Champion Marquis set his mind in motion, and after the stone gate disappeared, his gaze fell once again upon the Universe Bag.

"But before that, let me take a look at the treasures of the Great Zen Temple!"

Buzz, buzz, buzz!!

A tyrannical fluctuation radiated from within Champion Marquis's soul, drilling toward the Universe Bag.

Although he was not a master of Daoist arts, the Jing Shen Dao within the Gui Cang Nine Paths was also a secret method for cultivating the soul, only the cultivation method was entirely different from this world.

The fist intent entwined upon the Moon Goddess was precisely mixed with a trace of spiritual power, which was why it had such miraculous effects.

Following the surge of immense spiritual power, the mouth of the Universe Bag opened at once, and a cyan air current rushed out, subsequently forming a giant gate three people tall and ten people wide on the ground.

Fortunately, the secret chamber where Champion Marquis was in seclusion was large enough, otherwise, this gate would have cracked the room apart directly.

However, this gate was entirely formed of air currents, clear and brimming with energy, appearing as if it were a mirage, making it impossible for one to distinguish whether it was real or illusory.

Within the giant gate, light was faint, and gusts of refreshing breeze blew out from the giant gate, carrying a clean aura, giving one a dreamlike illusion, as if the world behind the stone gate were a pure world like a fairyland.

"Go in and take a look."

The next moment, Champion Marquis entered into the giant gate.

The Xiaoqian Shijie inside the Universe Bag had no sun, moon, or stars.

Regardless of the sky overhead or looking around in all directions, the ends were all a layer of cyan jade-colored light film.

The entire Xiaoqian Shijie was a cube composed of cyan jade light film.

Only this cube was frighteningly large, a full hundred miles in radius, equivalent to a small county town of the Great Qian Dynasty.

Champion Marquis swept his gaze and knew that the treasures of the Great Zen Temple were hidden in the center of the Xiaoqian Shijie.

In the center of the Xiaoqian Shijie were eight plazas, each plaza piled with things like mountains.

A mountain of gold, a mountain of silver, a mountain of grain, a mountain of jewelry, a mountain of weapons and armor, a mountain of medicinal herbs, a mountain of books, and a mountain of silk.

Champion Marquis landed before the mountain of rice; even he could not help but be shaken by the treasures of the Great Zen Temple.

"There are at least five hundred thousand dan of rice here, enough to feed hundreds of thousands of people through a famine, and stored in the Universe Bag, the rice will not spoil." Immediately, Champion Marquis revealed a cold sneer: "This Great Zen Temple is truly bold enough to defy the heavens; if I were the Supreme Ruler, I would also have the Great Zen Temple annihilated."

According to records, the Great Zen Temple occupied vast land, with countless grand halls and pavilions, and over ten thousand monks; every autumn, there were over a thousand monks who went to the countryside to collect rent.

Every morning, the little monks who went to offer incense to the Buddha and Bodhisattvas had to ride horses to make it in time, which is why there is the saying of "riding horses to light incense."

Such a force that did not engage in production yet was wealthy enough to flow with oil was something every ruler would hate to see exist and would want to eliminate as quickly as possible.

What's more, there were weapons and armor in the treasury that could arm an army of over ten thousand to the teeth. That is to say, as long as there was a major upheaval in the situation, the Great Zen Temple could raise a banner and rebel at any time.

Beside the gold treasury, there was also a table placed, and on the table were brush, ink, paper, and inkstone, as well as a simple ledger.

"The gold treasury has about four million taels, the silver treasury about thirty million taels, silk over eight hundred thousand bolts, rice six hundred thousand dan, weapons and armor... Tsk tsk, just this gold, silver, and jewelry combined, I fear it rivals the total national treasury income of two years; truly wealthy enough to rival a nation. If the Great Zen Temple is not destroyed, heaven will not tolerate it."

After flipping through the ledger and looking at the eight great treasuries one by one, Champion Marquis revealed an excited expression: "Very good, there are too many heavenly materials and earthly treasures in the medicine treasury. Added to the treasures in my manor, it should be able to push the Divine Stone Spirit Fetus to the Martial Saint realm."

One of the reasons Champion Marquis wanted to obtain the Universe Bag was to utilize the resources of the Great Zen Temple to hatch the Divine Stone Spirit Fetus. And the resources of the Great Zen Temple were simply unimaginably abundant, not disappointing him.

"Unfortunately, there is no Past Amitabha Sutra." Champion Marquis sighed lightly.

The Great Zen Temple had three volumes of scriptures, one being the "Past Amitabha Sutra," one being the "Present Tathagata Sutra," and one being the "Future No-Life Sutra," which were supreme methods for speaking of transcendence.

The "Past Amitabha Sutra" was the supreme secret method for cultivating the soul, the "Present Tathagata Sutra" was the supreme fist technique for achieving the Martial Saint realm, and as for the "Future No-Life Sutra," it was unknown; however, it was rumored that to truly transcend, one needed to contemplate all three volumes of scriptures together. The Great Zen Temple was destroyed, and the whereabouts of the three volumes of scriptures were unknown.

Among these three volumes of scriptures, Champion Marquis craved the "Past Amitabha Sutra" the most.

Although the other two volumes of scriptures were also supreme methods, the "Past Amitabha Sutra" might perhaps help him find the memories of his previous incarnation.

It was just a pity that, apart from the eight plaza treasuries, there was only the War God Demon Sutra left behind by the Witch Ghost Sect, and no traces of the Past, Present, or Future three scriptures.

"Wait." Champion Marquis's eyes flashed: "The origin of my previous incarnation is very mysterious, knowing many secrets between heaven and earth; perhaps it also knows the whereabouts of the Past Scripture."

Thinking of this, Champion Marquis sat cross-legged and operated the Jing Shen Dao. Mind Power surged crazily, setting off rounds of storms in his sea of consciousness.

The Jing Shen Dao was also a method for cultivating the soul; perhaps through the Jing Shen Dao, he could dig up some memory fragments from the past, it was not impossible.

A mental storm stirred within his mind, countless pieces of information flowed in his mind, scenes appeared and then vanished, every scene was so soul-stirring.

Just like this, three full days passed, and when Champion Marquis's divine sense was seven or eight-tenths exhausted and his expression was listless, he suddenly opened his eyes, a burst of sharp light exploding in his pupils.

"Found clues, Fragrant Tiger King, White Ape King, Spring Tiger..."

Champion Marquis finally searched out several key pieces of information from the infinite memories, and subsequently immediately had his subordinates launch an investigation.

When he returned to the secret chamber, his gaze fell once again upon the Divine Stone Spirit Fetus.

"No matter what, hatch the Divine Stone Spirit Fetus first."

This was a mountain forest to the west of Qingzhou.

Boom—!

The sky above the mountain forest was covered by a dark cloud, rolling thunder sounds vibrating, resounding through heaven and earth.

"The accumulation is finally enough; whether it is success or failure, it is today." In the mountain forest, Champion Marquis opened his eyes, looking at the Heavenly Pillar Divine Stone before him.

The Heavenly Pillar Divine Stone was still in the shape of an unpolished jade, over a person tall, and within it, that fetus seemed to have a heartbeat, and between breaths, there was a faint sound.

The nine orifices on the Divine Stone, following the breathing of the fetus, spat out strands of cloud-like fragrant aura, even purer than the aura of ordinary Martial Saints, like ten-thousand-year lingzhi.

At this moment, seemingly sensing the thunder in the sky, the Heavenly Pillar Divine Stone emitted a trembling sound, as if in excitement.

The Heavenly Pillar Divine Stone requires lightning to strike into it before it can hatch and break out of the fetal shell.

Wild winds howled, thunder shadows rolled, and the world was plunged into Darkness.

Boom—!

Suddenly, in the cloud-covered sky, a massive bolt of lightning crashed down like the sharp sword of a God, tearing apart the dark canopy of the heavens.

The thunder struck the Heavenly Pillar Divine Stone with precision.

The spirit fetus within the Heavenly Pillar Divine Stone suddenly opened its eyes, and the nine apertures on the stone emitted strange sounds as streaks of green light swirled within the Divine Stone.

"Go."

Champion Marquis struck with his palm, the violent palm force slamming into the Divine Stone, sending the entire stone flying into the sky and directly into the thunderclouds.

Countless bolts of thunder exploded, crashing against the Heavenly Pillar Divine Stone like a tidal wave. As the Divine Stone was struck by the thunder, it did not weaken; instead, its aura grew increasingly formidable.

Crack, crack, crack. The entire exterior of the raw jade Divine Stone emitted sounds of fracturing, and stone fragments fell continuously, as if the spirit fetus within the Divine Stone might emerge with great power at any moment.

"To think, to think it is a spiritual treasure of heaven and earth, a Divine Stone Spirit Fetus. Haha, it is destined to be obtained by me, Zhou San Taizi." Just then, a majestic and overbearing voice rang out.

The next moment, over a thousand crystalline, rounded, and shimmering thoughts were seen flying in from a great distance.

The thoughts formed a pitch-black giant hand that blotted out the sky, reaching toward the thunderclouds.

It turned out that a Thunder Tribulation expert was passing by, saw the Divine Stone Spirit Fetus, and wanted to forcibly seize it to refine it into their own clone.

Crack!

Crack!!

The sound of the Divine Stone cracking within the thunderclouds grew louder and more frequent.

Finally, with a "bang," it was as if the first thunderclap of heaven and earth had exploded.

At the same time, an aura that was supreme, yang, and rigid, surging to shake the heavens and earth, permeated the air.

In the thunderclouds, a tall human figure could be vaguely seen, standing between heaven and earth like a God or Demon.

"Finally, it has hatched." Champion Marquis smiled slightly.

After spending three months and consuming a massive amount of resources, he had finally pushed the Divine Stone Spirit Fetus to the Human Immortal realm and successfully brought it into the world.

As for the Thunder Tribulation expert who had suddenly appeared, Champion Marquis did not care in the slightest.

With thoughts generating a shimmering glow and even threads of electric arcs at their center, it was clearly an expert who had passed the Second Lightning Tribulation, or was even just one step away from entering the Third Lightning Tribulation.

But for the current Champion Marquis, it really counted for nothing; a single move of the Tathagata Divine Palm could suppress and kill one.

What's more, he now had a Human Immortal clone capable of rivaling those who had passed the fifth or sixth Lightning Tribulation.

"The Divine Stone Spirit Fetus is mine."

Zhou San Taizi had already charged into the thunderclouds, emitting a wild and triumphant laugh.

"Your life is mine."

Just then, a grand voice erupted within the thunderclouds, and invisible sound waves dispersed, shaking the thunderclouds until they rolled and scattered.

The next moment, a giant fist appeared before those thousand thoughts.

As this punch was thrown, space trembled violently, shaking incessantly as if it could not bear the weight.

Suddenly, a golden-armored War God rose up between heaven and earth, surrounded by lingering mist, with an aura of slaughter that surged to the nine heavens.

"No!!"

Those thousand thoughts emitted a shrill roar, spinning frantically: "Imperial Hegemony Great Destruction Divine Fist."

These thoughts, nearing the Third Lightning Tribulation, also transformed into a fist, possessing both the overbearing nature of royalty and a sense of great destruction and ruin.

Boom!

However, the so-called "Imperial Hegemony Great Destruction Divine Fist" was like paper before this punch from the Human Immortal clone. The moment they collided, it was instantly shattered, and countless thoughts were drowned in the immense Qi and Blood amidst their wails.

Only a few remaining thoughts fled away.

A human figure fell from the sky.

This figure was over a zhang tall, like a God. A head of fiery red long hair fluttered in the wind, and the muscles all over his body bulged like dragons and snakes, displaying unparalleled explosive power. His limbs were long, and it seemed that with every movement, he could bring forth unparalleled explosive power and shock, as if he could overturn the very heavens.

"So this is a Human Immortal..." Champion Marquis looked at this Human Immortal clone. As his soul merged with this body, he felt a surge of Qi and Blood, bones, and muscles that were as surging as a river, as towering as a mountain, as immortal as a golden body, and as hard as a Vajra. With every movement, he could tear through heaven and earth.

This was the true Human Immortal realm; with the slightest movement, the massive essence and blood energy seemed to stir the long sky, drowning mountains and rivers.

"You were born from a stone, absorbing the essence of heaven, earth, sun, and moon; you are a miracle of Haotian. And since you are a Human Immortal from the moment of your birth, you are destined to leave behind a stunning figure in the long river of history."

Yu Liancheng's gaze flickered slightly, and he decided to give the Human Immortal clone a name: "Therefore, you are the writing left in the human world by the Great Dao Haotian, and I bestow upon you the name—Haotian Golden Chapter."

"Haotian Golden Chapter." The Human Immortal clone's eyes flickered slightly, but his expression remained without any fluctuation.

In essence, he was the clone of Champion Marquis; all his thoughts and actions were the embodiment of Champion Marquis's will.

From another perspective, he was another Champion Marquis.

"Zhou San Taizi? A remnant of the Great Zhou? Go and capture him for me."

Boom!!

The next moment, Haotian Golden Chapter rose from the ground, following a mysterious and unfathomable trace of aura, and headed toward the far distance with incredible speed.

This was a manor a hundred miles away from Qingzhou.

In the manor, a young man in yellow was walking.

Suddenly, four or five thoughts flew in from the sky and entered the body of the young man in yellow.

"Damn it, this time I lost a thousand thoughts, my cultivation has plummeted, and I don't know how long I will have to wait to truly pass the Third Lightning Tribulation."

The young man in yellow suddenly opened his eyes, his expression covered in a layer of frost; this young man was the true body of Zhou San Taizi.

The current Great Gan royal family has the surname Yang, and this Zhou San Taizi was actually the Third Prince of the previous Great Zhou imperial family. When the Great Zhou fell, this Third Prince had astonishing cultivation and was skilled at escaping, which was why he was not captured and killed by the Great Qian Dynasty.

Boom!!

Just then, a giant figure smashed down from the sky, making the entire ground feel as if an magnitude-eight earthquake had occurred, and countless houses and buildings were shaken to collapse.

"I said it before, your life belongs to me."

Amidst the smoke and dust, this massive human figure opened its palm and lunged toward Zhou San Taizi.
