Chapter 165: Chapter 122: Universe_2

"I speak these words to you because I do not wish for you to stray onto the wrong path. With your level of talent, you have a great future ahead of you; you needn't ruin your prospects."

Chu Zheng found the sheer volume of information conveyed in Ji Yuyan's words somewhat difficult to digest for a moment. After a while, he finally reacted, bowing in acknowledgment:

"Thank you for your guidance, Immortal Ji."

Ji Yuyan's words—he had only absorbed half of them. The ability of the Five Elements Immortal Bones within the Immortal Alliance was but decent; there remained a significant room for improvement.

As for giving up Qi-refining techniques, he had never considered it. The Immortal Bone at the back of his head had been forcibly grown through Qi-refining techniques. To abandon Qi-refining and focus solely on the Immortal Path would be, according to Ji Yuyan, to see the end at a glance.

Daluo Golden Immortal, eternally indestructible across countless eons, the progenitor of a Dao...

Recalling such terms from Ji Yuyan's mouth, a faint glimmer of light, like the spark of a fire, shone in the depths of Chu Zheng's eyes.

What was the point of following the conventional path, especially when he couldn't see it to its end?

After entering the Immortal Sect, there was no set path for Qi-refining techniques, but that only meant greater possibilities.

The pros and cons of this depended on personal choices.

For Chu Zheng, there was no need for excessive deliberation.

After a period of silence, Chu Zheng spoke again, inquiring: "Immortal Ji, I heard that the Immortal Alliance recently ordered several Holy Lands to pursue heretic cultivators. What is that about?"

"What do you need to know that for?" Ji Yuyan immediately narrowed his eyes.

Before asking the question, Chu Zheng had already anticipated Ji Yuyan's possible reaction and did not show the slightest nervousness. He replied solemnly:

"The Martial Cultivator currently in Taixuan is my wife, so I wished to ask for some information."

"Oh? That is quite the coincidence."

Ji Yuyan's eyes flickered slightly, and after a thoughtful pause, he spoke slowly: "Since you have obtained ancient Taoist books, you must be aware that the Cangyun Realm previously was not solely governed by the Immortal Path."

"Cultivators slaughter each other over resources, and the Taoist Orthodoxy, for its own survival, must also contest for a share of worlds. These worlds are linked to the allocation of Heavenly Fate within the Great Universe."

"Previously, Heavenly Fate scattered and fell across various realms. After a prolonged period of slaughter and struggle, the situation within the current universe has begun to clarify.

Generally, Heavenly Fate can be divided into five portions, with the Immortal Alliance Martial Hall governing two-fifths behind the Starry Sky Barrier, the 'All Hevens' one and a half tenths, the 'Myriad Realms' one and a half tenths..."

At this point, Ji Yuyan's voice trailed off slightly.

Chu Zheng, who was listening intently, heard the abrupt stop and subconsciously asked, "Where is the remaining three-fifths?"

After a long silence, Ji Yuyan finally spoke:

"The Ancestral Dao of the Taoist School occupies two and a half tenths by himself, and the remaining half-tenth belongs to the unexplored Great Realms within the Chaos Sea."

These facts were unknown to the cultivators of the Tongxuan Secret Realms of the Cangyun Realm, but Ji Yuyan saw no need for secrecy, believing Chu Zheng would eventually come into contact with them.

"In any world, whether large or small, strong or weak, there are always exceptional individuals walking the pinnacles of the era's waves. Such exceptional figures, no matter in which Taoist Orthodoxy they are born, will achieve success and are destined to change the entire pattern of the world."

"To give an example, if you practice Dao Laws and succeed in Qi Refining, returning to Void and merging with the Path, upon sensing this, the Taoist School will have an excuse to re-intervene in the affairs of the Cangyun Realm."

"To ensure a suitable environment for your growth, the connection between the Immortal Alliance and Cangyun Realm will be severed. Above the Immortal Tribulation, there will no longer be any qualification to enter, until the powers within the realm are reshuffled."

"Either you will forcefully dominate the present world, bringing it under the governance of the Taoist School, or you will die by Immortal punishment, and it will be as if nothing happened."

"Due to external threats, there have been no wars among the various powers for a long time. Minor disputes occasionally arise but are always quickly curbed and very restrained."

"Generally speaking, the Immortal Alliance would not give other Taoist Orthodoxies a chance to intervene and would seek to nip troubles in the bud. That's why they previously hunted heretic cultivators."

After listening, Chu Zheng took a deep breath and once again offered his gratitude: "Thank you, Immortal Ji, for dispelling my doubts."

These words peeled away the veil that had been covering his eyes, revealing a familiar cosmos that now teemed with changes.

"Your wife, on the other hand, should not be of too much concern."

"The relationship between the Immortal Alliance and the Martial Hall is currently harmonious, with intermarriage being a common affair. There are even Immortal Kings discussing and affirming the possibility of Dual Cultivation of Immortal Martial Arts with martial arts giants."

If this path were to succeed, the pattern of the entire universe would be rewritten. The fusion of Immortal and Martial Arts means that Heavenly Fate will also blend, with the proportion reaching forty percent.

Ji Yuyan's mouth curved slightly, his smile not quite reaching his eyes.

Having said that, the Immortal Alliance was on the verge of a grand conflict, with the adversary still unknown, and the Martial Path could not yet be completely ruled out. Sёarch* The ηovelFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

The so-called dual cultivation of Immortal Martial Arts was nothing more than an illusion without substance.

"Meeting is a form of destiny, I'll give you another opportunity," said Ji Yuyan as he suddenly spoke and then slowly raised his hand, placing it on the top of Chu Zheng's head.

Chu Zheng showed no resistance, and he didn't move an inch.

The sensitivity to Tribulation Qi was much sharper than his own Spiritual Perception, at least it could tell him whether disaster was imminent or not.

This kind of danger alert had helped him a lot.

At least for now, Ji Yuyan, to him, harbored no ill will.

A cool breath continuously flowed from Ji Yuyan's palm into the crown of Chu Zheng's head, then trickled into his mind.

In an instant, Chu Zheng felt a clarity in his Sea of Consciousness as his Divine Soul suddenly grew much stronger; after this, whether it was forming the Dao Embryo or Soul Condensing, he would save himself a great deal of arduous effort.

After reacting, he could not help but be astonished.

This kind of opportunity was also briefly mentioned in the Great Circulatory Qi Guideline.

The touch of an Immortal on the head signified 'Enlightenment' in the Qi Refining Lineage.

It could help some children with peculiar Root Bones but obscure Spirituality to awaken, substantially strengthening the Divine Soul, which in a sense, was to enhance the early stages of perceptiveness.

"Thank you greatly, Immortal Ji," said Chu Zheng, bowing deeply, his eyes somewhat solemn. For an Immortal, imparting enlightenment was also a significant expenditure of energy.

"There's no need to thank me. I might seek your help in the future," Ji Yuyan said with a slight shake of his head, not appearing to care too much.

He enjoyed the task of guiding talented individuals; sometimes doing a favor for someone could save a lot of trouble in the future.

"We will meet again at the Great Tournament of Ten Thousand Sects, you still have a long time ahead of you. Take it step by step, no need to rush," he said.

Before the echo of his voice faded, Ji Yuyan's figure had already merged into the void, leaving no trace behind.

Chu Zheng took a deep breath, feeling a sense of clarity and an indescribably refreshing comfort throughout his body.

Without wasting any time, he sat down cross-legged and began to cultivate, making twice the progress with half the effort in his current state.

...

...

Just a few days after Ji Yuyan left, Chu Zheng's Qi Refinement's Cultivation took another step forward, entering the late stage of the Jade Bone Realm.

The path of Qi Refining was just too special to him; giving it up would be a pity.

Moreover, if that Ancestral Dao could reach this point, monopolizing a quarter of the Heavenly Fate, it was enough proof that the path of Qi-refining Technique was viable.

The path of Immortal Cultivation would not be completed with his current talents. Even if the Qi-refining Technique was inferior, the outcome would be the same; it was only a matter of how far he would get.

The foundation of the Immortal Path he was currently on was mostly derived from the Qi-refining Technique, which proved there were some commonalities between the two paths. This mutual confirmation might make it possible for them to integrate.

Now, he was just one step away from forming the Dao Embryo.

Forming the Dao Embryo would bring no small change for a Qi Cultivator, just like the Immortal Path Cultivators with Soul Condensing; there would be a dramatic increase in the power of Divine Sense.

The advancement in his Qi Refinement's Cultivation also had some influence on his Immortal Path.

The Dao Foundation was slightly affected, and the cultivation in the mid Entry Dao Realm also rose significantly during this period, nearing the late stage of the Entry Dao Realm.

After a temporary halt to his cultivation, Chu Zheng immediately ended his practice and began to take stock of the gains from this battle.

Sorting through more than two hundred Storage Magical Artifacts, it took him several days to get a rough idea.

This battle, without a doubt, brought him a staggering fortune.

Just in Magic Treasures alone, there were over four hundred pieces.

Although most were Middle Quality Magic Treasures and varied in the degree of damage, to Chu Zheng, whether they were damaged or not, it didn't matter much.
