Chapter 152: Chapter 116: Ranking Changes, Exposure

Shen Chuanjiang surveyed his surroundings, eyeing the heaven and earth before him with an undisguised look of astonishment.

Between the desolate heaven and earth, devoid of sun and moon, there were only two Stars, suspended in the firmament, casting a dim faint light.

The world was deathly silent, with no sound of the wind, and besides Chu Zheng not far away, he could sense no other presence.

"A Small World... No wonder so many cultivators seek you and fail to find a trace, there is indeed such a wondrous treasure."

Once he had gathered his thoughts, Shen Chuanjiang's gaze became focused, and his expression revealed a touch of realization.

No wonder the outside world has searched in vain for so long; hiding within such a Small World would make it impossible to find someone, even if one were to turn the entire Cangyun Realm upside down, not just the Southern Region.

Small Worlds like this also exist within the Heavenly Throne Holy Land, known as the Heavenly Throne Qiankun Realm, which boasts dense spiritual energy bettering the outside world many times over, a cultivation Holy Land created solely by concentrating Spirit Veins.

The cultivation environment within the Heavenly Throne Qiankun Realm is very close to the legendary Minor Immortal Realm, where only Saint Heirs are qualified to enter for cultivation, and even the true successors fall far short.

"I assume you have help."

Shen Chuanjiang calmly surveyed his surroundings and lightly called out, "There's no need to hide. Show yourselves!"

The appearance of this Small World warranted utmost caution from him; Chu Zheng dared to confront him head-on, so there must be reliance behind him.

In recent times, more than one true successor from the Heavenly Throne Holy Land has perished, leaving him momentarily unsure of exactly how many people Chu Zheng had brought with him, causing his mind to become increasingly agitated.

"It's just me here,"

Chu Zheng spoke slowly, "You are eighty-three this year, and it has not been easy to practice cultivation until now. Hand over the Heavenly Throne Yanshen Scripture and your Life Soul, and I'll let you go."

Before coming for Shen Chuanjiang, Chu Zheng had already sent Song Yun and Bai Nian to a small city for temporary settlement, preparing to turn this place into a battlefield.

He had not planned to target those on the Hidden Dragon List so soon, only preparing to take action after reaching the Golden Core Realm and mastering the 'False Form' Divine Skill.

Once he acquired False Form, he would be able to disguise himself as a true Immortal Path Cultivator, leaving no flaws exposed.

But plans never keep up with changes, and the Immortal Bone grew out ahead of schedule. S~eaʀᴄh the Novelƒire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

If before the Immortal Bone congealed, Chu Zheng still needed to restrain himself, worried about exposing his Qi Cultivator identity,

Now, he no longer needs to consider those factors and can act much more boldly.

With the Immortal Bone, he is an Immortal Path Cultivator, without any doubt.

Not to mention a Pseudo-Immortal, even if a True Immortal were to come, he wouldn't worry at all; the Immortal Bone is his best Protective charm.

Without this greatest threat, the threat posed to him by these geniuses who are at most in the Soul Condensing Realm is rapidly diminishing.

Hearing Chu Zheng's words, Shen Chuanjiang did not get angry. His expression remained calm as his Divine Sense swept inch by inch around him.

Only after confirming that indeed no one else was around did his gaze suddenly freeze, as his Mana surged.

Without any further ado with Chu Zheng, a dazzling divine light burst from his third eye, his Soul stepped forward in great strides, turning into a ray of rainbow light, tearing through the void, heading straight for the forehead of Chu Zheng.

The biggest difference between the Soul Spirit Realm and the Entry Path Realm lies in the Spirit Soul.

Among the Five Great Holy Lands, the Heavenly Throne Holy Land has the deepest understanding of the Divine Soul; even in terms of the Spirit Soul Divine Infant created, the Heavenly Throne is considered the strongest.

The Divine Souls of Entry Dao Realm cultivators are still frail, and if they encounter a strong impact from a Spirit Soul, they will instantly disintegrate, causing their soul and spirit to scatter. In minor cases, it leads to imbecility, while in severe cases, it results in death.

In the blink of an eye, the Spirit Soul closed in to less than two zhang from Chu Zheng. Shen Chuanjiang's lips curled slightly; he had already foreseen Chu Zheng's Divine Soul collapsing.

Once that happened, he would take this Small World for himself and then directly extract all secrets from Chu Zheng's mind, including the Taixuan Holy Land's Immortal Ascension Method, Taixuan Divine Fire Scripture!

If he offered up the Taixuan Divine Fire Scripture to his sect, he would surely be handsomely rewarded, and he might evен be permitted to cultivate within a Small World.

"Departing Spirit from body is a path to self-destruction."

Gazing at the Spirit Soul that was nearly within reach, Chu Zheng remained unmoved, and with a light sigh, a streak of lightning emerged in his palm.

Crackle—

An eye-blinding, fierce electric light suddenly rose up, silver radiance reaching to the heavens, accompanied by thunderous roars.

Boom!

Thunderous roars echoed between heaven and earth, as if the void momentarily solidified, the interwoven light turning into whips, like whistling fabric, fiercely lashing atop the Spirit Soul.

Bang—

Upon contact with the lightning whip, the Spirit Soul's brightness dramatically faded, covered in cracks, and it was flung back toward Shen Chuanjiang's third eye, massively damaged from the initial encounter.

He staggered, plummeting from midair, and was presently unable to stand up, his head filled with tumultuous noise, his soul on the brink of dissolution.

The soul pertains to Yin, the body to Yang; the Thunder Method purges evil and banishes wickedness, representing the ultimate in Yang force. Against entities like the Yin God, it naturally possesses a formidable restraining power.

Even a Divine Infant would not dare to resist the might of heavenly thunder directly; it must use the body as armor, otherwise just one encounter would reduce it to ashes.

Chu Zheng's current mastery of the Thunder Method was far from the might of heavenly thunder, but it was still greatly damaging to the Spirit Soul.

Shen Chuanjiang intended to use his Spirit Soul against his enemy, aiming to exploit the suppression of his cultivation realm for a quick and decisive outcome, but evidently, he had miscalculated this factor.

The reason why thunder represents the power of heavenly punishment is precisely because it is difficult for cultivators to control.

Apart from a few cultivators with unique constitutions, the use of thunder generally relies on Fu Lu or magic treasures. Summoning thunder out of thin air is not something ordinary cultivators can achieve,

Unless achieving absolute balance in both body and soul, generating Yin Yang Dual Qi from within, but reaching this level is undoubtedly as difficult as ascending to the heavens.
