Chapter 188 Immortal Alliance Transfer Order, Great Aura Appears

The core purpose of the Ten Thousand Sects Hidden Dragon Competition in the Cang Yun Realm is to deliver true immortal seeds to the Immortal Alliance.

Therefore, the fortunes of the geniuses on the Hidden Dragon List will change more directly and dramatically.

Previously, Shang Zuling had always been at the top of the Potential Dragon List. The luck he had accumulated was already quite amazing. The benefits he brought to Chu Zheng now far exceeded his previous expectations.

The effect of destiny on immortal practitioners is far less intuitive than that on Qi practitioners.

What the immortal practitioners gain is an increase in their future upper limit, rather than this obvious increase in practice.

However, to the way of heaven, there is no difference between the two. Both of them take away the life of heaven and earth, and what is consumed is the origin of heaven and earth.

The arena was separated by a magic array. In order to ensure Chu Zheng's safety, Geng Yiyang spent a lot of effort in setting up the array. Even the cultivators in the Immortal Tribulation Realm were unable to intervene and could only watch.

As the dust on the arena cleared, Shang Zuling was seen sitting cross-legged on the ground with a pale face, while Chu Zheng was standing beside him unharmed. The result was self-evident.

There was an uproar all around, and divine thoughts were fluctuating. However, due to the special identities of the two people on the stage, the spectators did not even dare to express their surprise.

But this result undoubtedly exceeded most people's expectations. In the eyes of most cultivators, even if Chu Zheng could win, it should be a miserable victory. But now the battle situation is one-sided.

What is even more unacceptable to many cultivators is that with Shang Zuling's defeat, it means that Chu Zheng, a latecomer who is only in his early twenties, has stepped on the heads of all the cultivators of the past hundred years.

The many Saint Lords and Immortal Tribulation Realm cultivators had different expressions, but their eyes were all solemn.

Compared to the result of this competition, they were more concerned about Chu Zheng's ability to control thunder.

Controlling the power of thunder means that after Chu Zheng has attained enlightenment, the heavenly tribulation in the immortal realm will hardly threaten him.

In the Immortal Tribulation Realm, the most time-consuming part is the preparation for the Heavenly Tribulation. One needs to spend time accumulating immortal power and storing immortal pills and treasures. Only after everything is prepared can one begin to overcome the tribulation.

Catastrophes such as the Five Elements Catastrophe and the Yin and Yang Catastrophe are basically catastrophes that one will only encounter after reaching the true immortal realm.

There is no need to worry about the power of the heavenly tribulation, which means that in the realm of immortal tribulation, the speed at which Chu Zheng's cultivation level will improve will be extremely exaggerated.

As long as he has enough control over thunder, it is not impossible for Chu Zheng to become a Heavenly Monarch in ten years after entering the Immortal Tribulation.

In time, the people whose cultivation level will be caught up by far will not only be the young geniuses of the contemporary era who are on the same list as Chu Zheng, but will even include the older generation like them.

After temporarily suppressing the sword injury, Shang Zuling slowly stood up and said slowly: "I am sorry for disturbing you during this trip. I hope you will forgive me."

This battle also resolved a knot in her heart. Without the blood of the Immortal King, her combat power was far from being invincible in the same realm.

Chu Zheng's methods gave her some inspiration. Perhaps she should not be limited to the fixed immortal secret techniques, but could try some new ways.

"You are too kind, my friend. You didn't use your full strength, so there is no question of winning or losing in this battle."

Chu Zheng shook his head. As a descendant of the Immortal King, the power hidden in Shang Zu's spiritual bloodline far exceeded the imagination of ordinary cultivators.

In the battle just now, Shang Zuling only used the Haotu Yangling Sutra, and the rest of the blood secret techniques and other means were not seen at all.

He didn't know the reason why Shang Zuling didn't use the power of his bloodline, but he didn't want to delve into it. The two of them were just casual acquaintances, and their relationship had never reached the point of close confidance, so it was better to just leave it at that.

Shang Zuling said no more. He bowed his head, stood up and jumped onto the chariot. He turned into a stream of golden light and disappeared into the distance.

"I'll give her a ride, you take care of yourself."

Geng Yiyang transmitted a message and followed Shang Zuling's chariot.

The Taixuan Holy Land has magical treasures to suppress it, so there won't be any trouble. Shang Zuling came here alone and is now seriously injured. If something unexpected happens on the way, it will be difficult to explain.

Shang Zuling was willing to set the battle location in front of the Taixuan Mountain Gate, which was already a considerable concession to Chu Zheng. Geng Yiyang had to appreciate it. What's more, it was just a piece of cake to escort him for a while.

Is this the end?
With the departure of Shang Zuling, the cultivators who gathered around were all dazed. The battle for the top spot on the Hidden Dragon List ended in such an anticlimactic way that made people feel as if they were in a dream.

After many cultivators came to their senses, they looked at Chu Zheng on the stage with different emotions at the same time.

Especially the Holy Lords of the three holy places, all of them fell into deep contemplation. What they needed to consider now was how to deal with Taixuan and Chu Zheng in the future.

Since the rise of Chu Zheng is unstoppable, we need to change our thinking.

The reason why the holy land has been passed down for so long is that it relies on much more than just those immortal treasures that have been dormant for many years.

Taixuan also had magical treasures, but he was still forced into a state of near death.

Judging the situation is also something that the holy land needs to consider from time to time.

But for the Taixu Holy Land, their choices are actually quite narrow.

Following Taixuan's example and sealing the mountain seemed to be the best option. Waiting for thousands or tens of thousands of years, by then, it was unknown whether Chu Zheng would still be alive.

By then, Taixu Holy Land will still be a holy land.

Apart from the three major holy places, the rest of the immortal sects have already begun to come up with other ideas.

Chu Zheng is so talented that his descendants, even if they are not as good as his father, will surely be outstanding people of their generation.

If we can obtain a bloodline to continue the Chu Dynasty through marriage, there may be great potential in the future.

When Chu Zheng becomes a true immortal, he will become another true immortal family. It will not be difficult to produce several top-grade immortal bones in each generation. This is almost a profitable business.

Chu Zheng ignored the different thoughts of these cultivators and turned back to Taixuan Holy Land. It would take him some time to fully digest the changes in his destiny.

Ever since the Cang Yun Secret Realm was unsealed, he could vaguely feel that the world before him was very different.

Where this change came from, it was difficult for him to discern specifically with his current level of cultivation. The only thing he could intuitively feel was that the Heavenly Dao above his head was now more tolerant towards all kinds of creatures.

To survive the immortal tribulation is a life-threatening situation. With so many cultivators trying to survive the tribulation together, only a few of them died in the tribulation.

Although a Tongxuan cultivator like Geng Yiyang has stayed at the peak of Tongxuan for many years and has a strong enough foundation, the success rate of his tribulation crossing should not be this high.

"Is it serious?"

After returning to the palace, Song Lingxue couldn't help but speak, looking a little worried. Just now, she was a little frightened watching from the side.

When she first met him, Shang Zuling gave her the feeling that he was an unattainable divine peak that was difficult to climb. Even though the result was out now, she was still a little unsettled.

"It's just a competition, not a life-and-death fight. Why worry about it?" Chu Zheng didn't care much. Before the battle started, he was sure of winning.

He used divination to tell his fortune, and it was a sign that his fortune would improve and he would not have any trouble in the near future.

Song Lingxue walked around Chu Zheng, raised her hand to untie his hair crown, and tied up his slightly messy hair again, then she breathed a sigh of relief:

"A few days ago, Ling Qing sent a letter back, saying that the journey was too long and she couldn't make it back in time. She wished you victory. You were in seclusion at that time, and I was afraid of disturbing you..."

Hearing this, Chu Zheng didn't care. He hummed and said casually:
"There may be a war in the Immortal Alliance, just like the space channel that appeared before. If I can't avoid it, I may have to go to the battlefield." Before she finished speaking, Song Lingxue's eyebrows, which had just relaxed, immediately frowned, and her heart was hanging: "Isn't that quite dangerous?"

She didn't know much about the battlefield outside the domain, but she also knew that there were many creatures who could fight in the starry sky and shatter stars with a snap of their fingers. Even if Chu Zheng had a high talent, it would be difficult for him to reach that level in a short period of time. If he was not careful, he would be in danger of losing his life.

"It may be a little troublesome, but it's not dangerous. After all, there's Lao Geng up there."

Chu Zheng shook his head to deny it. He was just giving a precautionary measure in advance to avoid any changes. In such a hurry, Song Lingxue became even more worried.

For a moment, Song Lingxue's palms hanging in her sleeves tightened slightly, her eyes lowered, and she said no more.

Chu Zheng already has enough troubles. No matter how many worries she has, she can only keep them in her heart. Otherwise, it will be unnecessary trouble for Chu Zheng.

At this moment, Chu Zheng's mind was already immersed in his next plan.

The most important thing, naturally, is the choice of one's innate magical power.

To reach the Jindan realm, one needs to carve the innate magical power on top of the Jindan. This step is crucial as it affects the subsequent path.

The number of supernatural powers engraved is related to the spiritual orifices opened on the golden elixir.

Chu Zheng's Nine-Aperture Golden Elixir can engrave nine great magical powers, and is at the pinnacle among the Qi cultivators.

Chu Zheng is still weighing the pros and cons of this first innate magical power and finds it difficult to make a decision.

The innate magical power is engraved on the innate golden elixir, which is completely different from the magical power that is displayed casually.

The power is stronger and the changes are more numerous. The same magical power will produce completely different changes in different people.

This kind of change is unpredictable, but it is deeply related to his own temperament and his innate understanding.

At the same time, the level of the engraved magical power often also affects one's own combat power.

Great magical powers such as thunder magic were not within Chu Zheng's consideration. His focus was on returning to the void and merging with the Tao, and even the magical powers and secrets of the immortals.

Although his current cultivation level is not enough to support the use of such a high-level magical power, it does not mean that he cannot engrave it on the golden elixir first.

What is most abundant in the Record of Eternal Tribulations is mysterious and powerful magical skills.

Chu Zheng began to retreat again, trying to choose a suitable one from the many magical powers, which required a lot of energy.

…………

The transfer order from the Immortal Alliance came much faster than Chu Zheng expected.

Less than half a month after the battle with Shang Zuling, Geng Yiyang woke Chu Zheng from his retreat and conveyed the contents of the Immortal Alliance's transfer order.

The Immortal Alliance's dispatch order was directly passed down to the five major holy places, ordering the five major holy places to take the lead, coordinate the army, and go to the starry sky battlefield to resist a group of cultivators from all realms who invaded the Immortal Alliance's territory.

The strength of this group of cultivators from all realms is unknown, but there are at least some leaders who are equivalent to those in the True Immortal Realm.

Originally, this group of people was within the sphere of influence of the Martial Palace, but the battle between the Immortal Kings broke through the starry sky barrier.

This group of monks passed through the pierced starry sky barrier and entered the territory of the Immortal Alliance. They are now plundering the world's resources.

The Immortal Alliance gave the many cultivators in the Cangyun Realm half a year to prepare, and will then send a true immortal to guide them.

Apart from the requirement that only cultivators above the Divine Infant Realm could join the army, this transfer order did not clearly state the consequences of not complying with the order. It only said that the Cang Yun Realm and several nearby large realms were on the trajectory of this group of cultivators from all realms.

In short, this battle will happen sooner or later, either outside the boundary or inside the Cang Yun boundary.

This one sentence alone pushed all the cultivators in the Cang Yun Realm to the edge of the cliff.

In ancient times, the Xian and Wu sects joined forces to label the other sects in the Cangyun Realm as evil demons and expelled them all from the realm.

This time, perhaps it is the revenge of the many sects in the myriad worlds for the situation in ancient times.

The visitor is not good.

For the major holy places and the True Immortal families, retreating without a fight, abandoning their eternal foundation, and leaving the world is obviously impossible.

This battle must be fought whether we like it or not, and we must even annihilate all the attacking enemies and then repair the gap in the starry sky barrier.

Geng Yiyang will take care of the external affairs, so Chu Zheng doesn't have to worry too much.

He began to retreat again, and further accelerated the selection of his magical powers. At least before going to the battlefield, he had to carve out his innate magical power first.

…………

…………

Under Geng Yiyang's arrangement, everything was proceeding in an orderly manner.

In the blink of an eye, several days have passed.

It was late at night when suddenly a mighty white light shot up into the sky, dazzling and bright, like thunder and lightning splitting the night sky, instantly attracting countless inquiring gazes.

Chu Zheng, who was in seclusion, sensed the fluctuations in destiny and felt something in his heart. He immediately stood up and arrived at the mountainside in a flash.

In a side room in the courtyard, a young man about seventeen or eighteen years old was sitting cross-legged on a couch, with a layer of bright white light covering his body.

Chu Zheng's eyes flashed slightly, and his spiritual eyes quickly sent a message.

[Bai Nian (Level 1): A Confucian and Taoist monk, he has read thousands of books, and his righteous spirit protects his body, and all evil spirits are warded off. When he writes, his magic is revealed.]

Since entering Taixuan, Bai Nian has been very quiet, staying with Li Mingzhou and a group of martial arts practitioners.

His talent in martial arts was mediocre, and he had long lost hope in practicing martial arts. He could only rely on numerous classic books and scriptures to survive.

The light in Chu Zheng's eyes faded away, and he seemed to have realized something. It must be a change in destiny that gave Bai Nian the opportunity to enter Confucianism.

After a while, Bai Nian, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed, slowly opened his eyes, and felt the great energy surging in his chest. He looked at Chu Zheng at the door, and for a moment he was a little confused:

"This is……"

"Studying is also a path of cultivation, but it is different from the path of immortality."

Hearing Chu Zheng's words, Bai Nian's expression changed slightly. Along the way, he had heard a lot about the experiences of Li Mingzhou and others, and it was hard not to think too much.

"Don't panic. I promised to show you a way out, and I will definitely do it."

Chu Zheng waved his hand. He had already made some plans in his mind. This time when he went out of the territory, he might have to take Bai Nian with him. Since he couldn't keep Cang Yun, he would have to find another way out.
