Chapter 238: Preparation for Leaving the Realm, Changes in the Calamity Qi

There is no free benefit in the world. Nie Longhu is willing to help Chu Zheng, provided that Chu Zheng is valuable enough.

The current Chu Zheng is far from being qualified to ask the Taoist Golden Immortal for help. Once he enters the realm of celestial immortals and demonstrates his own value, Nie Longhu will not mind doing him a favor and going with the flow.

The Qi cultivator attaches great importance to cause and effect. He helps others in order to have someone to help him in the future.

The method of averting disaster has its limit. It is easy to hide it from the heaven in one world, but it is extremely difficult to hide it from the entire universe.

Even someone as powerful as Daozu has disappeared at this moment due to being entangled by the calamity.

There will eventually come a catastrophe that he cannot overcome with his own strength, and he will then naturally need powerful external forces to help.

Chu Zheng is a possibility, but whether it can be used in the future is another matter.

"Thank you for your guidance, Brother Dao. This is the end of our relationship. I hope we can meet again in the future."

Chu Zheng thanked him, turned around and left without saying anything else.

He only believed half of what Nie Longhu said.

The boundary wall must be very difficult to cross, as it is guarded by top-notch warriors from the two paths of immortality and martial arts. If you go there rashly, I'm afraid the outcome will be very ugly.

As for the Taoist Golden Immortal mentioned by Nie Longhu, Chu Zheng did not care about it and pretended that he had never heard of it.

Qi cultivators are most reluctant to get involved in cause and effect, and based on Nie Longhu's one-sided statement, the possibility of a Golden Immortal saving him in the battlefield of all realms is extremely slim.

Chu Zheng would not gamble his life on an illusory promise. It would be too unwise.

The only person he can rely on in this world, from beginning to end, is himself.

Before leaving, Chu Zheng suddenly stopped, turned around and looked at Nie Longhu, and said with some surprise:
"Brother Dao has been secluded here for such a long time and has not appeared in the world. Aren't you afraid of being haunted by the calamity?"

Nie Longhu has been in seclusion for a hundred years and has hardly ever left this cave.

This simply won't work for a Qi cultivator, as the accumulation of calamity energy will cause considerable trouble.

When he first came to this world, calamity energy had been accumulating invisibly, and he often had to go into the wilderness and fight with wild beasts to dissipate the calamity energy.

"The incarnation and the calamity are complementary. The incarnation can eliminate the calamity for the original body, and the original body can also protect the incarnation from disasters. Your cultivation is still shallow, so it is difficult for you to understand the mystery for the time being."

Nie Longhu did not hide anything and said bluntly:
"My original body has reached the perfection of a celestial being. To me, the calamity energy accumulated by my incarnation during her retreat is insignificant. I only need to transfer the calamity energy to my original body and handle some trivial matters casually, and it will be completely consumed."

As the level of cultivation increases, during the accumulation stage of the incarnation's tribulation, there is no need to find ways to dissipate the tribulation energy. Only when the incarnation's level of cultivation is close to that of the original body will it be the opportunity to be born.

Hearing this, a flash of inspiration came to Chu Zheng's mind. The reason why the Xuanxian who had previously incarnated to experience the tribulation suddenly appeared in the world was probably because he discovered that the way of heaven in this world would not allow the ninth level to exist at all, so he started the tribulation ahead of time.

His experience in incarnation and going through tribulations is limited, and it is difficult for him to compare with these old monsters who have lived through thousands of lifetimes. There is still a lot that needs to be explored.

"Can there only be one avatar?"

After coming to his senses, Chu Zheng couldn't help but ask another question.

"Of course I can have more than one, but the price of the incarnation to go through tribulations is not low. With my current cultivation, it is difficult to take care of two incarnations at the same time. If there are too many, I can't take care of them, and it will be difficult to achieve the desired effect."

Nie Longhu shook his head, with a hint of longing in his eyes:
"When you step into the realm of Xuanxian, you may have the energy to control more incarnations. If you reach the realm of Jinxian, you can even reverse time and space and experience disasters in the past, present and future. This is the only way to the realm of Daluo through the 'Three Worlds of Great Disaster'."

The Daluo Golden Immortal is known as the realm of eternal immortality, which runs through the long river of time and space and covers the past, present and future. Among Taoists, only the Taoist Ancestor has truly stepped into this realm.

In the great war at the end of the ancient times, Daozu had enemies both ancient and modern. Some people helped him open the door of time and space, and also helped him find help from the future. These are all authentic facts that can be verified in history.

Nie Longhu's words made Chu Zheng's heart move. If he could influence the past and the future, wouldn't it be possible to interfere with the currently known facts and even completely rewrite the course of history?
How can this be done while avoiding the paradox of space and time?
"Having said that, I will give you another reminder. When the incarnation went through the calamity, there were a few cause and effect lines left behind for your use in the future."

Before Chu Zheng could think about it, Nie Longhu spoke again and gave a hint: "When a catastrophe that cannot be solved is approaching, pull out a few causal lines and cut them off completely. This will turn the catastrophe into an ordinary one and give you a little more chance of survival."

Cutting off all causes and effects is certainly clean and has no future troubles, but at the same time, there is no way back and one can only advance again and again.

Among the Qi cultivators, there are many who have taken the evil path, slaughtering entire families, but leaving a line of bloodline alive, waiting for their descendants to come and seek revenge.

This is the same as planting fruit trees. Creating controllable disasters for yourself is also a way.

Nie Longhu did not encourage Chu Zheng to go astray, but he left behind several causal lines that might be used to save his life in the future.

This was his personal experience, which was extremely precious. If he didn't have high hopes for Chu Zheng, he would never have given such a reminder.

"Thank you, Brother Dao, for clearing up my doubts."

Chu Zheng no longer hesitated, thanked him sincerely, and turned to leave.

Nie Longhu didn't say anything else. He watched Chu Zheng leave the cave, waved his sleeves to close the stone door, closed his eyes and fell into meditation.

He had no idea how much Chu Zheng would eventually grow, but he still hoped that he could live longer.

The Taoist alone accounts for 25% of the destiny of the universe, while the destiny of all realms only adds up to 15%, and Taoist Qi-cultivators account for only 10% to 20%.

The lineage of Qi-refining practitioners is small in number and always needs some fresh blood.

No fresh blood means no change.

Those great sects and sage families that have been passed down for thousands of years, even if they have many disciples and unfathomable backgrounds, still continue to recruit fresh blood in order to seek change.

In the ever-changing universe, remaining unchanged means waiting to die.

…………

…………

After leaving Nie Longhu's retreat, Chu Zheng concealed his tracks, crossed three realms in succession, and took the last step before leaving the world.

He wanted to exchange as many talismans and totems in his hands as possible for elixirs and cultivation resources.

He has no descendants in the Dongyuan Realm, and he is reluctant to give up the wealth accumulated over hundreds of years.

After getting these resources in his hands, he will use the "picking stars" method to capture a meteorite from the sky, and then send the meteorite out of the world, taking all his savings with him.

He will leave a spiritual golden body on the meteorite as a coordinate, and send it to the star field near the Immortal Alliance, and then go to get it when his main body's cultivation is sufficient.

This was what happened to Zhao Tingxian back then. He incarnated as the Heavenly Dao and intercepted the fortune of the Cangyun Realm for many years. Before leaving, he also took away most of the treasures in the Cangyun Secret Realm and sent them all into the Chaos Sea.

If not for this, Zhao Tingxian might not have even set foot in the realm of Immortal Lord.

From this we can see the importance of resources, and he will definitely use them in the future.

It took Chu Zheng several months to travel around the place, and he finally threw away all the talisman weapons and totem stone slabs he had repaired in exchange for a large amount of cultivation resources.

…………

…………In the blink of an eye, half a month has passed.

In a wilderness, Chu Zheng successfully used the star-picking method to obtain a meteorite. He spent a lot of time and energy carving countless overlapping magic arrays.

However, when he took the next step, he encountered trouble. It was easy to take the star, but it was difficult to send it away.

With his level of cultivation, it was difficult to get this star out of the Dongyuan Realm, so his initial idea was temporarily frustrated.

After several days of fruitless consideration, he had no choice but to ask for help.

Chu Zheng returned to the Wan tribe, explained the reason, and asked Wan Qiong for help.

Wan Qiong did not refuse, and even placed the eighteen Yin-Yang formation flags that he had spent a lot of resources to refine in order to set up the inverted Yin-Yang formation on the meteorite, allowing Chu Zheng to take them away.

In this world, this set of formation flags has no function anymore. However, placing them on this meteorite can still be used to protect Chu Zheng's valuable resources.

The new path of cultivation that Chu Zheng demonstrated to Wu Tui is open to everyone, regardless of gender. For the Dongyuan human race, it is a great favor that cannot be erased.

If it weren't for Chu Zheng, Shan Xun would not have been able to cross that barrier until his death, and the Beast King would still be alive in the world. Who knows how many people would have died. Wan Qiong always felt grateful for this in his heart.

In order to ensure that Chu Zheng could get the resources faster, Wanqiong used the Sky-Splitting Crossbow to open up a space portal directly to the universe, helping Chu Zheng send the meteorite far away.

This time, Chu Zheng felt the terrifying power of the Sky-Splitting Crossbow more intuitively.

In his perception, the coordinates of the meteorite carrying the golden body were rapidly moving away. After passing through the space portal, the remaining force still penetrated several star fields. The speed gradually slowed down and finally entered the vast universe, drifting towards the edge of the chaotic sea, and began a long drift.

"Thank you, Patriarch Wan."

Everything was done, Chu Zheng breathed a sigh of relief and clasped his fists in a salute.

"No need. Daojun has done a favor for my Dongyuan people. It's just a small favor. There's no need to thank you. If I want to thank you, how many times should I thank you?"

Wan Qiong waved his hand, not caring at all, with a slightly gloomy look on his face: "My life span is coming to an end, and we will hardly have the chance to meet again in this lifetime, so let's say goodbye now. I hope that Dao Jun can finally achieve his wish and have a safe journey."

Hearing this, Chu Zheng fell into deep thought. After a while, he took out a piece of animal bone, used his finger as a pen, left a page of an ancient book, stuffed it into Wan Qiong's palm, and said in a deep voice:
"That day will come."

Although it affected his own incense and vows, he still left the incense and divine way to the Dongyuan human race.

This is another way.

Before meeting Nie Longhu, he had not considered this option, but now, he decided to give it a try.

In the Immortal Alliance, he is isolated and helpless, and the feeling of being alone is not pleasant.

Leaving some causal lines behind may be useful to him in the future.

After leaving the bone book, Chu Zheng did not stay long. He crossed the void, left the human territory, and entered the wilderness.

It would be a shame not to squeeze out the last bit of value from such an incarnation, and this just happened to confirm some of his ideas.

…………

…………

Deep in the wilderness.

In a valley surrounded by mountains, there is a deep green pool in the middle, which gathers the energy of the earth veins from all directions. The pool is filled with spiritual mist and the dragon's aura is steaming. It is an excellent place to accumulate spirits and can raise real dragons.

boom!
'hold head high--'

The water in the pond suddenly burst into waves thousands of feet high, rushing up into the sky. A dragon with a single horn on its head broke out of the water. The loud dragon roar echoed throughout the vast wilderness, startling countless birds into flight.

A giant palm wrapped in yin and yang light followed closely, turning into a knife and slashing heavily on the dragon's back.

click-

There was a crisp explosion, and the dragon's body, which was hundreds of feet long, was instantly bent in half, its spine broken, and it crashed into the mountains, crushing countless peaks.

‘Woo——’

The dragon's roar turned into a shrill low howl.

Ripples appeared in the void, and a figure walked out.

Looking at the dragon struggling to get up, Chu Zheng's eyes narrowed slightly, and he stretched out his palms again and raised his hands to press down.

boom!
The giant palm condensed from the Yuan Qi accurately grasped the side of the dragon's neck and seven inches away, pinning it firmly between the mountains, making it unable to move.

A loud shout followed, piercing through gold and splitting rocks, and shattering the thousands of miles of clouds in the sky:
"Let me ask you again, my name is Chu Zheng, do you understand?!"

呲——

The dragon that was pinned to the ground had murderous intent boiling in its eyes, its scales bulged out, and a bloody divine light flowed under its light green scales.

The next moment, a blood arrow nearly ten feet long gushed out of its throat and turned into a blood-red dragon shadow, which sank into the void and disappeared in an instant.

As the blood arrow left the body, the dragon's body instantly went limp, as if its tendons had been pulled out and it had lost all its strength.

Chu Zheng only felt a burning sensation on his chest. He opened his shirt and saw a patch of emerald green dragon scales visible on his chest, which looked like warm jade and emitted waves of burning heat.

This comes from this dragon.

Chu Zheng's eyes flashed with intelligence, and he quickly figured out the origin of this mark.

[Reverse Scale Seal (Level 5): A secret method of the True Dragon Clan, most people perform it when they are dying. It burns the blood and essence of the whole body to locate the enemy, and it is difficult to erase.]

Seeing this, Chu Zheng frowned slightly, and pointed his finger as a sword, shooting out a sword light that pierced through the dragon's head and took the life of this fifth-level dragon.

The emerald green dragon scales on the chest were still hot. This was a secret technique prepared for revenge in the future. The origin of this dragon must be complicated, otherwise, with its fifth-level cultivation, it would be difficult for it to occupy such a spiritual land.

While Chu Zheng was stunned, the calamity energy beside him began to churn. His eyes lit up slightly, and he did not move a step, feeling a little bit of anticipation.

In less than an hour, the sky above the broken mountains suddenly darkened, and the sky turned from clear to cloudy. Within a few breaths, thunderclouds began to surge.

Between the layers of thunderclouds, the figure of a real dragon was seen shuttling back and forth. In an instant, heavy rain poured down, covering an area of ​​hundreds of thousands of miles in radius.

Murderous intent rose from the void and locked onto Chu Zheng.

The calamity energy that had accumulated over a hundred years boiled over violently and gradually evolved into a fatal calamity.

Seeing this, Chu Zheng's eyes became more and more fiery. Controlling clouds and rain is the skill of a true dragon.

This green-scaled dragon actually has the background of a real dragon.
