Chapter 206: Immortal Bloodline, the End of Cang Yun
What Zhao Tingxian said shocked Chu Zheng instantly:
"Same path? What does Tianzun mean by this?"

His first reaction was that Shang Cangyun also became a god through incense and worship.

This is a bit too exaggerated.

"What I'm referring to is not the incense."

Zhao Tingxian denied Chu Zheng's guess and said slowly, "Do you know why a True Immortal can influence the family bloodline and breed a True Immortal family?"

Suddenly, Chu Zheng remembered the information about the Immortals that he had seen many times before, and immediately shook his head: "I hope the Heavenly Venerable can solve my doubts."

"The cultivators in the Cangyun Realm only know that becoming an immortal can influence the family bloodline and then give rise to a true immortal family."

Zhao Tingxian's expression was a little complicated: "In fact, this is a reversal of cause and effect. It is not that the True Immortal affects the bloodline, but that the bloodline is destined to have the True Immortal born."

"You should have seen those True Immortal families in Cangyun. At most, they will prosper for thousands or tens of thousands of years. Then their bloodlines will gradually decline and eventually disappear from the world. Even if they have many means, they can only delay this process."

"These so-called True Immortal families are nothing more than True Immortals who, due to a temporary change in their bloodline, were nourished by the immortal energy when they attained the Tao. As the ancients said, if one person attains the Tao, the whole family will become immortals. That's how it is."

Hearing this, Chu Zheng did not feel surprised at all and just listened quietly.

This question of whether the chicken or the egg came first is difficult to answer. He had made many speculations about the sacral bone before, but he had never gotten a clear answer.

"In the Immortal Alliance, there is a type of people who have immortal blood flowing in their bodies. They are called descendants of immortals, and the families of descendants of immortals will never decline."

"Descendants of immortals?" Chu Zheng couldn't help but perk up when he heard the familiar word.

"Immortal blood will not disappear. Even if these immortal descendants die in battle, their talents will return to the family bloodline without any loss."

"And only the descendants of immortals are qualified to step into the threshold of the Immortal Lord. Otherwise, the road to true immortality has come to an end."

"If a True Immortal does not have immortal blood in his body, he can use secret methods to fuse immortal blood and become a 'hybrid'. This kind of person is a hybrid immortal descendant."

At this point, Zhao Tingxian seemed to recall something, and his eyes gradually turned cold:

"Since ancient times, the environment of the Cangyun Realm has changed drastically. The True Immortals that emerged from it are simply unable to fuse with the True Blood of Immortal Descendants. Throughout their lives, they are unable to enter the realm of Immortal Venerables. From ancient times to the present, only Shang Cangyun and the two of us are exceptions."

“If you don’t become an Immortal Lord, you will only be cannon fodder in the battle with the universe.”

"When I joined the Immortal Alliance, I was not valued at all. Instead, I was repeatedly excluded. After I became a True Immortal, I was sent to the edge of the universe. I fought with evil demons for years, drenched in blood in the battlefield, and wandered in front of the Yellow Springs Road all day long. I was lucky enough to save my life."

Chu Zheng could hardly suppress his doubts: "Why can't the cultivators of Cangyun Realm fuse with the true blood of the immortal descendants?"

Immortal Bone is already a threshold, and now there is another threshold before the Immortal Lord. The gap between them is really puzzling.

"I don't know the specifics, but over the years, I have collected some information, which I don't know whether it is true or not."

A glimmer flashed in Zhao Tingxian's eyes: "In ancient times, the Immortal King took action and cut off the destiny of the other sects in the Cangyun Realm. It seems that he was retaliated afterwards, and even some immortal families were completely wiped out. Maybe this has something to do with it."

Things in ancient times are a little too far away, and due to the successive wars, all traces have long been erased, making it difficult to trace. Finding out the reasons is not as simple as saying a word.

"There is one thing I don't understand, I hope the Immortal Venerable can enlighten me."

As the conversation progressed, Chu Zheng became more and more confused:

"Tianzun has now entered the realm of Immortal Venerable. How did he become an Immortal descendant? Did the Cangyun Immortal King use the same method?"

He will have to face this hurdle sooner or later. If he can gain more experience, he can avoid many detours.

However, Zhao Tingxian did not answer Chu Zheng's question. Instead, he looked him up and down and sneered:
"You are a Qi cultivator, and you still want to covet the blood of the immortal descendants?"

Soon he put away the expression on his face: "Your path of Qi refining is much stronger than the immortal path. Shang Cangyun and I can't turn back. This has something to do with the universe. If you can live to the day of becoming an immortal, I will take you to the edge of the universe and see it with your own eyes."

“Thank you, Lord, for clearing up my confusion.

Seeing this, Chu Zheng did not ask any more questions. There must be a reason why the immortal blood was so difficult to fuse. The fact that Zhao Tingxian did not answer him meant that there were many inconveniences.

"Cang Yun has reached the end of its road after all. Without the immortal family, the true immortals born in Cang Yun, no matter how talented they are, have no future in the Immortal Alliance." Zhao Tingxian slowly stood up and said casually:

"You'd better make plans early. Besides, it's hard to keep your identity as a Qi Refiner hidden forever."

Chu Zheng took a deep breath and asked a question that he had been holding back for a long time:
"The Heavenly Venerable once said that more than 20 years ago in the Cangyun Realm, you sealed my spiritual wisdom in my womb. Does this mean that I have already arrived in Cangyun, but my memory has been sealed? Is this reincarnation or rebirth through possession of another body?"

Zhao Tingxian pondered for a while before speaking: "From what I know, it should be a reincarnation, with a trace of true spirit left, preserving the memory of several decades."

There was a hint of uncertainty in his words, because for a practitioner, simply preserving memories for decades would be of no use at all, so it would be better to just give up.

"Reincarnation..." Chu Zheng murmured, thinking of the memories of his past life. His mind was a little confused. For a moment, he was not sure whether he had forgotten something.

"That's it between you and me. If you get involved with me again next time, it won't be so simple."

Before Chu Zheng could react, Zhao Tingxian disappeared in the temple. It was obvious that she had no intention of talking to Chu Zheng in detail.

After coming to his senses, Chu Zheng couldn't help feeling a little disappointed. He still had many questions to ask.

Zhao Tingxian did not answer too many of his questions. Judging from the difference before and after this meeting, Zhao Tingxian's attitude towards him had obviously become much softer.

Chu Zheng couldn't figure out the reason for this change for a moment. He stared at the palm of his hand, lost in thought.

The road he was going to take had been paved by someone thousands of years ago.

Chu Zheng has not yet clearly understood the paths taken by Shang Cangyun and Zhao Tingxian. One is an unparalleled evildoer who changed the name of the Cangyun Realm, and the other is a person who has become an immortal in a thousand years.

Zhao Tingxian still had a very obvious sense of caution towards him, and did not reveal many things to him.

I can only wait for another opportunity in the future.

In the following days, Chu Zheng focused most of his energy on developing believers.

With the support of a main god, the invisible tiger skin helped him to avoid countless troubles.

…………

…………

In the blink of an eye, more than ten years have passed.

The cultivation level of Chu Zheng's incarnation steadily entered the Golden Elixir Realm, but the quality of the Golden Elixir was not very high, with only seven orifices.

The Seven-Aperture Golden Elixir is already quite amazing for ordinary people, but from Chu Zheng’s own perspective, it is a little bit lacking.

Over the years, the Divine Court had sent no less than five invitations through Hong Tian Lingjun, hoping that he would join the Divine Court, but he declined all of them.

Even so, Shenting has never taken action like it did before, which is probably related to the existence of Zhao Tingxian.

Since that brief exchange, Zhao Tingxian never came to Chu Zheng's temple again, as if she had disappeared without a trace.

Chu Zheng once thought about trying to find him, but after searching the entire star, he could not find any temple belonging to Zhao Tingxian.

Not only was there no temple, there wasn't even a portrait. If Zhao Tingxian hadn't really come before, Chu Zheng would have even suspected that this was a dream.

As time went by, Chu Zheng's believers had exceeded tens of millions. However, as he gradually reduced the frequency of throwing spirit stones, the growth of incense and vows slowed down significantly.

This was also a helpless move. He could not spend all his energy on finding spirit stones for believers, so he could only weaken them gradually.

Over the past ten years, Chu Zheng could occasionally feel the calamity energy surging beside him, but it was quickly suppressed, as if someone was helping him to block the calamity.

With the increase of believers, the cultivation level of the main body has increased rapidly and entered the second stage of Divine Infant.

For the second transformation, Chu Zheng chose an alien species, a special creature that existed in the Chaos Sea. It looked like a Pegasus covered with scales, and its body was wrapped in demonic fire.

About a few years ago, this alien species passed through a nearby star field and swallowed several life stars. It soon alarmed the Divine Court. The two main gods stepped forward, but were both beaten back, and eventually let it escape.

The position of the Fairy Snake Star was good enough for Chu Zheng to see the full appearance of the alien species, which was hundreds of times larger than ordinary life stars. However, due to the far distance, he could only get a rough glimpse of it, and in the end, he only got its shape but not its spirit.

However, just the simple change in appearance, this second transformation, is already much stronger than the Qilin transformation, from this we can see how terrifying this alien species is.

After the expansion of believers entered a bottleneck period, Chu Zheng set his sights on other stars.

If the number of believers climbs to another level, they will have to come into conflict with some ancient gods who have been entrenched on this planet for a long time.

It would be better to break the whole into smaller pieces and let some of the believers go to other stars to develop.

Anyway, the distances between these stars are very close, so it is not difficult to use supernatural powers to cross the space.

…………

…………

The distance between stars is extremely close within the span of the universe, but the actual distance is still very far.

It took Chu Zheng more than seventy years to spread his believers in batches throughout the entire star field.

As the number of believers spread bit by bit, a large net was gradually drawn up, and the number of believers began to increase exponentially, and now it has nearly exceeded 100 million.

The cultivation of the incense and fire spirit has already entered the perfection of the upper spiritual lord, and is only one step away from the lower heavenly lord.

The original divine infant's cultivation level increased rapidly all the way, and it entered the sixth stage of the divine infant transformation. In each stage of transformation, it was a powerful alien species in the chaotic sea.

Chu Zheng had never experienced such a long period of peace before, but the calamity energy that was the incarnation of refined Qi had already entered an extremely strange state invisibly.

The calamity aura was very dense and had already turned into a sign of death, but it had not yet boiled and had even remained very quiet.

After more than seventy years, this incarnation has already reached the perfection of the Golden Elixir Realm, and the next step is to refine the spirit.

Chu Zheng has accumulated enough foundation for this step and can take it at any time, but every time he is about to break through, he becomes uneasy and interrupts himself.

…………

…………

The warm morning light dispels the chill brought by the night.

Inside the magnificent temple, Chu Zheng closed his eyes slightly, and through his golden body, he slowly checked the information sent back from various stars.

The original group of core believers, including Yuan Dazun, had long been sent away from the Fairy Snake Star. Now they are in charge of various stars, and basically rely on the golden body for communication.

This information is very complex, and the largest part of it is about the Divine Court.

Soon, Chu Zheng's eyes focused and stopped on a piece of news.

'The Great Sage Tianzun of Yin-Yang Mysterious Spiritual Demon Suppression has left the Divine Court and is nowhere to be found.'

Zhao Tingxian left again?

Seeing this message, Chu Zheng couldn't help but be stunned. The next moment, he suddenly felt that the calamity energy that had been dormant beside him for decades suddenly reacted.

In an instant, the death stars above his head flashed wildly.

The breath of death filled his five senses, but Chu Zheng calmed down at this moment. He practiced the Record of Eternal Tribulation and began to try to refine his spirit.

After years of accumulation, his spirit and soul had already been perfected and now it was just a matter of finishing touches.

The invisible soul began to expand and walked out from the center of the eyebrows. In a flash, it turned into a spirit, wearing divine armor, more than three meters tall, and emitting a blazing divine light.

Before Chu Zheng could experience the mystery of the soul, a blazing white light suddenly lit up from the sky, instantly overwhelming his five senses.

After a long while, he came back to his senses, but he could only check the location of the Fairy Snake Star through the golden statues on the other stars.

When he saw this, he was stunned again.

The entire Fairy Snake Star, along with several nearby life stars, disappeared, leaving only a dazzling white divine light.

…………

…………

Cangyun Realm.

Taixuan Holy Land, inside the secret room.

There was a glow between Chu Zheng's eyebrows, his aura plummeted, and the incense and vows deep in his soul could not be stopped from flowing away, and a lot of it dissipated.

Eventually, his cultivation level dropped by two levels and regressed to the fourth stage of Divine Infant.

If he had not dispersed many of his believers earlier, this attack would have wiped him out, and all his century-long hard work would have been in vain.

However, at this moment Chu Zheng no longer had the mind to care about his cultivation.

Several stars disappeared along with them, and he was unable to determine for a moment whether this was due to him.

After a while, Chu Zheng gathered his thoughts and sighed. At least now he still had some incense, golden statues and believers.

After meeting Zhao Tingxian, Chu Zheng realized that the situation in the Cangyun Realm was far more complicated than he had imagined.

Among the true immortal seeds that came out of the Cangyun Realm, except Shang Cangyun and Zhao Tingxian, no one else could reach the realm of the Immortal Lord. I am afraid that most of them are no longer in this world.

The remnant soul of the true immortal in the Song family's ancestral land once gave his last words: "You cannot enter the Immortal Alliance."

Now it seems that this is indeed a reminder.

If they don't join the Immortal Alliance, they can at least survive in the universe. If they join the Immortal Alliance, these cultivators in the Cang Yun Realm will not have a good ending in the end.

He has to make a lot of preparations.
