Qi Cultivation Starting from the Repair Panel-Chapter 560 - 399: Near Immortal Realm, Martial Arts Seed
Chu Zheng raised his hand to receive the Heavenly Dao Core, and in the instant it touched his hand, a vast surge of information flooded into his mind.
In that brief moment, Chu Zheng seemed to connect with the entire world before him, with all the laws vividly imprinting deep within his Divine Soul.
In just a short moment, Chu Zheng understood many secrets of the Cangyun Realm.
From ancient to present times, some information may be forgotten by many living creatures, but for this world before him, it will never be erased.
Before the appearance of Shang Cangyun, the Cangyun Realm was named the 'Near Immortal Realm.'
In the Primordial Era, within the Great Universe, it was a leading Great Realm of the Immortal Alliance, with several Immortal Descendant Families maintaining a strong presence here, with a profound heritage capable of nurturing an Immortal Emperor.
Later, the Immortal Veins of the Near Immortal Realm were personally severed by the Ancestor of Ancient Immortals, causing many Immortal Descendant Families' ancestral blood to dry up, from which they never recovered.
The Great Realm also declined as a result, the source of heaven and earth greatly diminished, and it was removed from the core Great Realms of the Immortal Alliance, even abandoned for a period, with the prosperity of the Immortal Path declining, leading to the emergence of various path cultivators within the Near Immortal Realm.
After the end of the Primordial Era, much later, an Immortal Monarch and several Immortal Kings came here, eradicating most of the Heretic Path's Heavenly Fate, locking the remaining traces in the Cangyun Secret Realm, and only then was the Near Immortal Realm taken back into the control of the Immortal Alliance.
After years of evolution, the Immortal Alliance implemented the Great Tournament of Ten Thousand Sects in the Cangyun Realm, gathering the Heavenly Fate of the entire realm to nurture one person. Shang Cangyun happened to be born at this time and, by chance, obtained an opportunity to enter the Cangyun Secret Realm, from where he soared into greatness.
Sorting through the information in his mind, Chu Zheng's eyes brightened slightly, unable to conceal his delight. The Cangyun Realm buried too many secrets, with many ancient remains preserved from the Primordial Era to this day.
Although these remains have mostly lost their Spiritual Energy and have become useless to ordinary cultivators, for Chu Zheng, they are undoubtedly a treasure trove. With the control of the Heavenly Dao, he can excavate all these hidden treasures.
Among them are Ninth Order, and even Wonderous Treasures containing Space-time Laws.
Even if they cannot be repaired in the short term, apart from this method, it would be difficult for Chu Zheng to collect Wonderous Treasures of the same level on his own.
Seeing Chu Zheng seemingly regain his senses, Xi Ling cupped his hands, saying:
"Inspector, the situation across realms is turbulent now, we might need to prepare for war. I must return to the Breaking Kill Army, so I take my leave."
Although the Ancestors of each path have yet to appear, this battle will inevitably come, a consensus among all path cultivators in the Great Universe.
Chu Zheng stored away the Heavenly Dao Core of the Cangyun Realm without speaking further and returned the courtesy:
"Fellow Daoist Xi, may we meet again."
After seeing off Xi Ling, Chu Zheng did not linger and turned to step directly into the Cangyun Realm.
Upon entering the realm, Chu Zheng felt the true majesty of the heavens for the first time.
With the control of the Heavenly Dao Core in his hands, he now has the ability to manipulate the heavenly wrath and the Heavenly Tribulation of living creatures within the realm.
With the power of the Cangyun Realm, his combat power within the realm will be elevated infinitely, able to match an Immortal Venerable at least, or even stronger.
This amplification is undoubtedly terrifying.
Chu Zheng's mind stirred slightly, giving rise to a thought.
If the entire Great Universe were to be completely merged, fusing into a single world, controlling the Heavenly Dao Core of that world, the resultant combat power would be even more fearsome, perhaps far exceeding the living creatures of the Ancestral Realm.
However, completely merging the entire Great Universe is as challenging as fully capturing tenfold the Heavenly Fate.
Chu Zheng sat cross-legged in the void, his Divine Sense swept the entire Great Realm through the Heavenly Dao Core.
Due to the unlocking of the Cangyun Secret Realm, the Heavenly Fate within the realm is still somewhat chaotic. Immortal Path cultivators remain the fastest cultivating Taoist Orthodoxy, but other Taoist Orthodoxy have also seen many cultivators emerge.
He saw many familiar people, Song Lingqing, Fu Quanliang, and the now sealed Tai Xu Holy Land, among other faces he had once met.
There is also the space channel located near the Great Zhou, leading to the Vast Universe.
This space channel is not particularly high-level, at most allowing a True Immortal to pass through. There are many such channels within the Great Universe.
The Immortal Alliance seemingly does not pay much attention to this; previously, only True Immortals came to handle the evil Qi overflowing from the channel.
As Chu Zheng toured the heavens and earth, suddenly, his mind shook violently. Through the barriers of the heavens and earth, he sensed an extremely terrifying aura quickly approaching the realm.
This aura, while powerful, carried a hint of familiarity.
Chu Zheng tore open the void, arriving outside the Cangyun Realm, his face slightly tense and puzzled as he looked at the approaching figure:
"How come you're returning to Cangyun at this moment?"
The visitor was none other than Song Lingxue, whom he had parted with several years ago.
The relationship between the Martial Hall and Immortal Alliance is not harmonious; Song Lingxue returning at this time undoubtedly involves significant risks.
Compared to when they last met, Song Lingxue seemed to have undergone a considerable change, standing just within arm's reach, yet seeming distant across space-time, elusive and unreachable.
Sensing something unusual in Song Lingxue's aura, golden light seeped from Chu Zheng's eyes, and upon receiving the transmitted information, his expression changed drastically:
"You've broken through again?!"
It had been less than three years since their last separation, yet Song Lingxue advanced further, stepping into the Space-time Domain.
Chu Zheng's heart shook violently, filled with indescribable shock. Such advancement speed undoubtedly overturns certain laws within the current Great Universe.
This was too abnormal.
"On this return, I concealed my tracks without informing anyone; there will be no obstruction."
Song Lingxue seemed to have anticipated Chu Zheng's presence, showing no surprise. Her eyes flickered slightly as she explained:
"This time, I need to retrieve something from Ling Qing."
"Ling Qing? What does she have?"
Recovering from his shock, Chu Zheng was even more puzzled. He found it hard to imagine that Song Lingqing, whose current cultivation was only in the Divine Infant Realm, would have something that could still be of use to Song Lingxue today.
"You'll know shortly."
Without further explanation, Song Lingxue entered the Cangyun Realm directly.
In an instant, she arrived at the Taixuan Sect's residence, standing before Song Lingqing.
Seeing the figure suddenly appearing before her, Song Lingqing's pupils widened, and she stood up abruptly.
After decades apart, the sisters were reunited once more, yet they fell into silence for a moment.
After a moment of silence, Song Lingqing was the first to speak, softly calling out:
"Sister."
Song Lingxue nodded slightly, her gaze complex, saying no more as she raised her hand to gently touch Song Lingqing's forehead, softly saying:
"Sleep now. It will be over soon."
Song Lingqing instantly fell unconscious and collapsed to the ground, as a fist-sized orb of light flew from the back of her head, landing in Song Lingxue's palm.
As the glow faded, it revealed a seed, resembling an ancient bronze-cast lotus seed, glowing with a blood-red light.
Arriving immediately after, Chu Zheng's expression changed dramatically as he saw the Ancient Seed drawn by Song Lingxue:
[Martial Seed (Tenth Order): Acquired Dao Seed, containing the cultivation essence of an Ancestor of Martial Arts, with its Taoist Collection yet to be unlocked.]
Dao Seed?!
