The path to the Great Tournament of Ten Thousand Sects was one she had only just stepped onto last time before her Immortal Bone was shattered, and she nearly saw the end of her Immortal journey.This threshold, she had to cross on her own.
"The road is under your feet, it's up to you to choose how to walk it, if you run into trouble, remember to send a message."
Hearing Song Lingqing's plan, Chu Zheng did not say much, and turned to leave.
For a Qi Cultivator, all fortunes and misfortunes stem from oneself.
Fortune and misfortune have no doors; it is people who call them forth. He never interfered too much with others' thoughts, letting nature take its course.
Watching Chu Zheng's departing figure, Song Lingqing felt only grateful, but the pale and feeble thanks that she had said too many times before could no longer be uttered by her now.
In the Blood Pool, she had completed her transformation and become the possessor of genuine High Quality Immortal Bone, it felt like a rebirth.
Now, she could achieve a speed of cultivation that she could not reach even with her utmost effort before, with barely a tenth or a twentieth of the effort previously required.
A High Quality Immortal Bone was a threshold. If a Middle Quality Immortal Bone meant that one could never become an Immortal in their lifetime, a High Quality Immortal Bone granted them the chance to step into the Immortal Sect.
And this opportunity was also given by Chu Zheng.

Upon entering the Dao Embryo Secret Realm, Chu Zheng's speed of travel undoubtedly increased significantly. He could now harness a fraction of the true power of Riding the Clouds and Driving the Mist, moving as fast as the wind. In just two or three steps, he was already hundreds of miles away.
Without considering his own depletion, in just a few days, he covered millions of miles and entered the territory of Giant Marsh.
He did not directly rush to the Song Family but paused momentarily at the border of Giant Marsh Country.
Above the vast emptiness, Chu Zheng activated his Spiritual Eye and surveyed the surroundings.
In the void, there was an extremely peculiar aura that did not resemble Spiritual Power, and it inexplicably caused a sense of repulsion.
Here, there was a space channel leading to an Alien Realm, sealed by a True Immortal. He had merely passed by chance, noticing anomalies in the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, and that was how he discovered the seal.
Soon, with the aid of the Spiritual Eye, Chu Zheng directly saw a crack in the void.
Only after activating the Spiritual Eye did Chu Zheng truly feel the terror of the crack.
Stretching nearly a hundred thousand miles, it seemed to tear apart the entire sky, sealed by talismatic patterns flowing with dim Immortal Light. Beyond the crack lay Chaos.
[Immortal Patterns·Boundary Seal (Eighth Order/Incomplete): Extremely powerful Immortal Patterns that obstruct space, created by a True Immortal. Over time, they have worn down and, due to a lack of materials, cannot be repaired (Details)].
[Detailed Information: Immortal Patterns are extremely difficult to repair, requiring at least the Cultivation of a Nine Tribulations True Immortal. Currently missing materials are: Immortal Crystal, Boundary Breaking Jade. Based on the current rate of wear and without external interference, the seal can last at most another thousand years.]
[Spatial Channel (Eighth Order): A space channel leading to worlds beyond, blocked by a powerful seal, which over vast stretches of time, has started to show signs of damage (Details)].
[Detailed Information: Within the Spatial Channel, an evil aura has infiltrated, most probably connecting to the Evil Demon Realm. It is estimated that in four hundred years, the evil aura will begin polluting the Cangyun Realm, demonizing the creatures.]
"Evil Demon Realm..."
Looking at the more detailed information provided by the panel, Chu Zheng furrowed his brows for a moment.
Last time at the Immortal Martial Battlefield, after seeing Ji Yuyan, he initially thought that the Immortal Alliance had already arrived at Cangyun, and Giant Marsh's seal degradation should have been known by now.
Now it seemed that things were not as he had imagined; the Immortal Alliance might still be unaware of the current state of the Giant Marsh seal.
Chu Zheng contemplated for a while, did not linger longer, needing to quickly deal with the affairs of the Song Family and return to the Taixuan Holy Land to inform Geng Yiyang, asking him to report to the Immortal Alliance to handle this matter.
Although there was still a thousand years, there could be unforeseen events during this time.
Moreover, judging from the information about the spatial channel, the so-called evil aura would begin affecting the creatures of the Cangyun Realm in four hundred years.
He would have to look further into this supposed evil demon after returning.

Half a moment later, Chu Zheng arrived at Wild Goose Wing Island.
During this time, the status of the Giant Marsh Song Clan had somewhat diminished compared to before. Searᴄh the nôvel_Fire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
Since the day people from the Eastern Territory Song Clan arrived, Song Tongxuan had been gradually retracting the family's properties in preparation to await the main clan's orders to relocate the family at any time.
Upon learning that they were descendants of a True Immortal, these past days had left everyone in the Song Clan uncontrollably excited.

Chu Zheng arrived at the main gate and presented a visiting card.
Although his cultivation was now incomparable to what it was before, the necessary courtesies still had to be observed.
Before long, Song Tongxuan appeared at the gate with Song Tonghai.
"I have seen the Taixuan Holy Son."
Song Tongxuan gave a fist-and-palm salute, "Previously, I didn't know Tai Shan, and I hope the Holy Son will forgive me."
Chu Zheng stepped aside to avoid the salute, shaking his head,
"You are Lingxue's grand-uncle, and naturally also my elder. There is no need for such formality."
After speaking, he turned to Song Tonghai and bowed, "Father-in-law."
During the last visit, he had concealed his identity, but today there was no longer a need for that.
Song Tongxuan looked stunned, turned his head to look at Song Tonghai, his eyes flickered, and he felt somewhat lost.
From Chu Zheng's words, it wasn't hard to hear some information. Song Tonghai had not told him the truth before.
"Big brother, please don't blame me. The situation was different at that time. Chu Zheng was wanted everywhere, and I couldn't risk his safety."
Song Tonghai shook his head, his expression showing no sign of apology. If it happened again, he would still choose to conceal Chu Zheng's true identity.
