Qi Cultivation Starting from the Repair Panel-Chapter 566 - 405: Daoist Ancestor Zheng Chu
Chapter 566 -405: Daoist Ancestor Zheng Chu
Fu Pinglan retrieving his eyes from the Ancient Times signifies that the leader of Martial Hall’s war faction has returned, and many things are bound to change.
Heavenly Punishment, after all, being new, lacks the prestige within the Martial Hall compared to Fu Pinglan.
Currently, in the Martial Hall, there are five in the Ancestral Realm. Fu Pinglan and the Heavenly Punishment faction, Ji Zhouyin and another Martial Ancestor ‘Hua Ling’ from the Martial Hall form another faction.
Wan Wenfeng’s attitude is unclear, considered neutral.
However, Fu Pinglan and the Heavenly Punishment’s main war faction represents the hearts of the majority of cultivators in the Martial Hall. In some decisions, Ji Zhouyin also needs to consider and even concede.
Longevity is Ji Zhouyin’s greatest weakness. When he entered the Ancestral Realm, Fu Pinglan was not yet born, and Hua Ling is almost of the same generation as Ji Zhouyin, with not much longevity left.
As the successor of the Martial Ancestor, although Ji Zhouyin can gather the Martial Arts Heavenly Fortune, his strength far exceeds that of Fu Pinglan, his prestige within the hall is far from that of the previous Martial Ancestor and only comparable to Fu Pinglan.
Because within the Martial Hall, those of his generation or familiar juniors mostly have exhausted their longevity, while the supporters of Fu Pinglan are generally in their prime.
The Execution Department, gathering the top combat strength of the Martial Hall, is also under Fu Pinglan’s command.
Between Ji Zhouyin and Fu Pinglan, those martial emperors supporting whoever benefits them are very clear in their hearts.
In just a few days, a shocking news erupted from within the Martial Hall, spreading throughout the Great Universe.
The Dao Ancestor, named ‘Zheng Chu’, is not yet dead and remains in the human realm.
This was personally stated by Fu Pinglan. His eyes were intercepted by the Dao Ancestor during the Ancient Times, following him for nearly a million years, knowing many secrets of the Ancient Times.
Now, the missing 25% of Heavenly Fortune is hidden away by the Dao Ancestor.
Apart from the news that the Dao Ancestor is not dead, Fu Pinglan also released a lot of information regarding the Dao Ancestor.
The Dao Ancestor is not a living creature of this era, originating before the ten percent of Heavenly Fortune was gathered, earlier than the birth of the Great Universe and Vast Universe Boundary.
The Qi-refining Technique is also not the path that should exist in this era, which is why it is repelled by Heavenly Fortune and entangled with calamities.
Even the previous Master of Heavenly Fortune’s death is somewhat related to the Dao Ancestor.
This news sent great upheaval throughout the universe.
For many in the Ancestral Realm today, the Ancient Times are already an irretrievable past, and the world before the Ancient Times has long exceeded their comprehension.
In that era, the Master of Heavenly Fortune emerged, thought to be an even more chaotic and tumultuous era than the Ancient Times, long difficult to trace.
The Space-time Domain is also a path difficult to reverse for those in the Ancestral Realm, and many truths cannot be verified.
The Heavenly Fortune upon them can only ensure their dominance in this era; returning to before the Ancient Times, the Heavenly Fortune of this era struggles to protect them.
While various Taoist orthodoxies are still in shock, Fu Pinglan has already given orders, deploying most of the Martial Hall’s combat strength, beginning to search every corner of the universe and the Chaos Sea for traces of Dao Ancestor Zheng Chu.
With a murderous intent evident, he intends to kill the Dao Ancestor.
As the Martial Ancestor, at this moment, Ji Zhouyin chose to go into seclusion without any response.
…
…
In the brilliantly star-lit great hall, silhouettes stood densely.
The Martial Hall’s Execution Department is comparable to the Immortal Alliance Punishment Department, with its Divine Martial Heavenly Generals corresponding to the Immortal Alliance’s Chief Executioner.
Within the entire Execution Department, there are only over three hundred positions of Divine Martial Heavenly Generals, all of which have already entered the Space-time Domain, gathering nearly a third of the current Great Universe’s elites.
For Fu Pinglan, among these three hundred, the only new face was Song Lingxue.
Sweeping a glance at Song Lingxue, Fu Pinglan slightly frowned, feeling a vague sense of déjà vu upon their first meeting.
Song Lingxue, clad in the Blood-bottomed Golden Patterned Martial Robe, stood beneath the temple steps, staring directly at Fu Pinglan, the depths of her eyes calm like a pool of dead water.
Fu Pinglan retracted his gaze, said no more, and didn’t pay mind to Chu Zheng for the time being.
Looking at the predestined lives planned by the past Martial Ancestor, it was certain that Song Lingxue would become a Martial Emperor while Chu Zheng was merely a junior, and now that Song Lingxue has obtained such cultivation, today is different from the past, especially as Ji Zhouyin’s direct disciple; he must give some face.
Even though the Divine Martial Heavenly General’s cultivation strength is far inferior to the Ancestral Realm, their status and position are present here, and Fu Pinglan cannot be overly difficult, as there are things they must accomplish.
“Summoning everyone today is only for one matter.”
Fu Pinglan scanned the crowd and spoke in a deep voice:
“Regarding the Dao Ancestor matter, I hope everyone will take it to heart. Killing Zheng Chu will present the opportunity for the five Ancestral Realms to ascend, and compared to initiating a Dao War, the risks differ, which everyone should consider.”
Many Divine Martial Heavenly Generals all bowed and accepted.
Initiating a Dao War means that even if they have entered the Space-time Domain, they still face the risk of death at any moment, whereas searching for the Dao Ancestor’s traces is much simpler in comparison.
After all, confronting the Dao Ancestor directly is not their responsibility.
“Dao Ancestor Zheng Chu is in the Chaos Sea; I recently saw him.”
Song Lingxue suddenly spoke, astonishing everyone.
“Chaos Sea?” Fu Pinglan’s eyebrow slightly moved: “I have already sent people to the Chaos Sea earlier. Are you sure you’ve seen him?”
“Seen; he is an extremely powerful Incense Fire God.” Song Lingxue nodded, her expression still calm, showing no agitation.
Fu Pinglan didn’t say much, immediately nodding:
“Then finish it swiftly and first clear the Chaos Sea. I will seek the Martial Ancestor to request the Dao Weapon.”
At these words, a whisper with a hint of doubt came from the side:
“The seals around the Chaos Sea were set by the Dao Ancestor at his peak. Even with the Dao Weapon, relying on just our joint efforts might still be hard to break them open.”
The person who spoke was clad in Profound Armor, with each piece of armor appearing as if it had been soaked for millennia in the Blood Pool, nearly turned into Blood Jade, standing tall, eyebrows sharp like drawn swords, eyes like a cold pool reflecting stars, a trace of blood-colored Dao Mark extending from between the brows to the cheekbones, exuding a fierce aura.
Heavenly Punishment Martial Ancestor, once the youngest martial emperor of the Martial Hall, is also the youngest Ancestral Realm in the entire Great Universe today.
“No need to mind the seal.”
Fu Pinglan sneered coldly, the blood in his eyes growing denser:
“We shall not traverse through the Great Universe; instead, we will borrow a path from the Vast Universe Boundary.”
Hearing the name Vast Universe Boundary, the expressions of some in the hall slightly changed, and even the Heavenly Punishment Martial Ancestor slightly frowned imperceptibly.
From the previous battle that saw the Boundary collapse, some participated to various degrees, and even after over a hundred years, some of their injuries were still not fully healed.
The Vast Universe Boundary is a land of the dead, not easily accessible for the living.
“Go or don’t; you can decide for yourselves.”
Fu Pinglan did not care about everyone’s reactions, casually saying:
“Whatever is harvested in this expedition to the Chaos Sea belongs to you all, and should you capture or kill Zheng Chu, the Heavenly Fortune shall also be yours.”
