Chapter 825 - 554: Ten Billion Treasure Crystals! Divine Ancient Essence Blood!_2
At this moment, the Tao Fire in the Purple Gold Furnace was surging, with energy continuously pouring into his body like a tornado, but compared to the Tao Heavenly Dew, the effect was indeed not so rapid and obvious.
So after some consideration, Qin Zheng directly stood up, stepped forward, and left the Eight Trigrams Purple Gold Furnace, appearing in the Taoist Temple Hall.
The hall was filled with a peaceful atmosphere, instantly calming Qin Zheng’s impatience. He saw a Daoist sitting in the center of the temple, seemingly immersed in the deepest level of meditation.
On either side of the Daoist sat the Primordial Fake Body and the Lingbao Fake Body, but in terms of perception, the two fake bodies were not cultivating, but had reverted to a lifeless state.
At this moment, with the appearance of Qin Zheng, the Daode Tianzun who sat in the middle slowly opened his eyes, awakening from deep meditation, and looked at Qin Zheng, speaking: "Twelve full years, my young friend, you’ve been through a lot."
The great battle of that day was now twelve years past.
For Daode Tianzun or any Tao Realm Great Power, twelve years was just a blink of an eye, but for Qin Zheng, twelve years was indeed quite a long time!
He had been unconscious for twelve years, and during this period, even with the nourishment of the Eight Trigrams Purple Gold Furnace and the Tao Heavenly Dew, his injuries had not fully healed.
Qin Zheng furrowed his brow slightly but then suppressed the matter, instead speaking, "Heavenly Venerable, the Heavenly Emperor who appeared that day was not his true body, but his remnant."
During the battle that day, Daode Tianzun’s attention was entirely on the Red Moon Venerate, and it was he who had slain the Heavenly Emperor’s remnant; perhaps it was difficult for him to know the state of the Heavenly Emperor.
But unexpectedly, after Qin Zheng spoke these words, Daode Tianzun gently nodded, as if he had known long ago, and said, "The Heavenly Emperor is deeply hidden. Even when we chose to transcend, he had already achieved enlightenment at the other shore."
