Chapter 196: Chapter 145: Two Sides of Yin and Yang, Condensing the Soul, Cangyun Secret Realm Map_2

The divine soul is the foundation of the divine infant; the greater the potential of the divine soul, the more astonishing its growth after the divine infant is condensed.Chu Zheng now practices both paths, and although he has not yet condensed his soul, the presence of the Dao embryo means his divine sense is already much stronger than many soul-condensing monks.

Inside the secret chamber, Chu Zheng did not rush to commence his cultivation but began to carefully comprehend the Creation and Transformation Yanshen Scripture he had acquired earlier.

Among the Five Great Holy Lands of the Southern Region, Heavenly Throne Holy Land has the deepest understanding of the divine soul; if one were to compare the strength of the spirit souls and divine infants they condense, Heavenly Throne would undoubtedly be the strongest.

As the sect-defending secret scripture of Heavenly Throne Holy Land, this Immortal Ascension Method is the only one besides the Vast Earth Nourishing Spirit Scripture on Chu Zheng's person that reaches the high-grade of ninth order.

Even Shang Zuling, a descendant of the Immortal King and a pride of the heavens, coveted it, proving its worth.

However, Chu Zheng had never cultivated this technique because, in terms of building the celestial foundation, this Immortal Ascension Method seemed rather ordinary.

At this moment, as he was on the verge of condensing his soul, this cultivation technique for refining the divine soul finally had some use.

After a long while, Chu Zheng put away the Heavenly Throne Yanshen Scripture without beginning his cultivation and started to peruse the Taixuan Divine Fire Scripture.

In the blink of an eye, several days had passed...

Having read through the Immortal Ascension Method completely, Chu Zheng had gained some clarity by reflecting on the ancient to understand the present.

He calmed his breath and composed his spirit, sitting in meditation for a day, and after adjusting himself to the best state, he took out a bottle of spirit pills and poured them all into his mouth.

The medicinal power surged, and the Dao Embryo Lake within his middle dantian immediately rippled. Under the effect of the elixirs, his divine sense started to grow at a visibly rapid rate.

In the dantian, the Five Elements Immortal Root glimmered faintly, and the substantial Five Elements Qi, refined by Chu Zheng, transformed into Yin Yang Dual Qi. It traveled up his spine through the Dragon Pass and directly entered the Niwan Palace in his spiritual platform, flooding into his brain.

Soon, a vague human figure emerged within the Niwan Palace.

Yin Qi gradually surged within the Niwan Palace while Yang Qi was increasingly suppressed. Once the Yang energy completely dissipated, the condensing of the soul would naturally follow, and the Yin God would manifest itself.

Chu Zheng of course was not satisfied with this; he immediately circulated his Qi-refining Technique, and the Yin Qi inside him transformed into Yang Qi, melding into his brow.

This step was undoubtedly extremely perilous. As the Yang Qi surged upwards, the newly condensed soul immediately felt a burning pain like being scorched by intense fire, with signs that it might dissipate.

The forces of Yin and Yang are truly difficult to reconcile; Chu Zheng tried dozens of times, but the soul could never simultaneously contain both Yin Yang Dual Qi, making no progress.

In the blink of an eye, over a month passed by, and Chu Zheng eventually gave up trying and started reconsidering the feasibility of this step from scratch.

Turning the soul into Yang is something that should be attempted only at least in the Divine Transformation Realm of the Immortal Path. Chu Zheng forced his way two whole realms in advance, naturally facing many obstacles.

Chu Zheng did not give up easily and fell into deep thought.

After sitting idly for a month, a flash of inspiration suddenly crossed Chu Zheng's mind, recalling a conversation he had with Geng Yiyang.

The world has Yin and Yang, and likewise, the universe is divided into two sides of Yin and Yang.

Though the universe is divided into Yin and Yang, it ultimately remains a whole connected by spatial channels. The nefarious Qi in the alien realms cannot coexist with the spiritual Qi, much like the powers of Yin and Yang.

Perhaps, he didn't need to forcibly make the Yin Yang Dual Qi compatible. Since he was a cultivator of both paths, maybe he could emulate the relationship between the current universe and the alien realms, condensing a dual-faced soul, thus allowing Yin and Yang to coexist.

The more Chu Zheng thought about it, the more feasible he found this theory, and he immediately began to try.

He dispersed most of the Yang Qi in his Niwan Palace, circulated the Immortal Ascension Method, and began to condense the soul.

Suddenly, the soul began to take shape.

Chu Zheng, undistracted, once again operated the Qi-refining Technique.

Yang Qi surged within him again, but instead of heading towards the forming Yin Soul, he started anew, beginning to condense another divine form.

This attempt was surprisingly stable, with no anomalies whatsoever.

After several hours, two somewhat ethereal humanoid figures stood back-to-back in the Niwan Palace: one black and one white, clearly distinct. Upon close inspection, numerous extremely fine threads could be seen connecting the two souls, with Yin Yang Dual Qi flowing within them, forming a hidden cycle.

The instant the soul was completely stable, Chu Zheng's Immortal Path cultivation broke through in a flash, stepping into the initial stage of the Soul Condensing Realm.

After sensing carefully for a while, a trace of joy unintentionally appeared on Chu Zheng's lips. The figures in his Niwan Palace could no longer be called a mere divine soul; they could be distinguished as 'Yang God' and 'Yin Soul'.

Of course, his current realm was still far from the true Yang God realm within the Refine Spirit Realm, but he had at least taken on some rough form of it.

This extremely unique Divine Soul brought not only a strength of Divine Sense far superior to other cultivators at the same realm, but now Chu Zheng's cultivation of soul-related secret techniques was also twice as effective with half the effort.

Looking at the Divine Soul before him, he involuntarily recalled the Alien Realm located on the reverse side of the universe, and the joy of cultivation improvement immediately vanished.

After composing himself, Chu Zheng began to consolidate his cultivation.

...

...

Half a month later, Chu Zheng finally emerged from seclusion.

This breakthrough took a little over three months in total, and the outside world had undergone no small changes.

Song Lingqing had successfully built her Celestial Foundation not long ago and entered the path, her foundation consisting of seven layers. Sёarᴄh the ηovёlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

For a High Quality Immortal Bone that had transformed from a Middle Quality one, this foundation could be considered exceptional. Many with High Quality Immortal Bones only managed to condense a Dao foundation of six layers.

A seven-layer Celestial Foundation was already among the best of its kind.

She didn't wait for Chu Zheng to come out of seclusion, but rather left behind a letter for Song Lingxue to pass on and then left Taixuan without a trace.

The content of the letter was simple, just some words of thanks and that she would return to Taixuan City on her own after the end of the Great Tournament of Ten Thousand Sects.

At this moment, only the Cangyun Secret Realm remained in Chu Zheng's mind, leaving no extra energy to attend to other matters, and he quickly put this aside.

He made a trip to Taixuan City, retrieved essence blood from the Eastern Territory Song Clan, and helped the siblings Song Lingfeng and Song Lingping open a secret realm.

Half a month later, the secret realm opened once more, with both siblings finding different opportunities. Their bloodline had clearly undergone a transformation, reaping great benefits within the Blood Pool, and their Immortal Bones had been elevated.

Among the peers of Song Lingxue's generation, aside from her, all were exceptionally talented, showing signs of Ancestral Return in their bloodlines.

During these months, most of the Southern Territory Song Clan disciples who went out for training had not returned, with only a few occasionally coming back, bringing with them some ancient items.

Chu Zheng sifted through these items for a long while, and besides a new Martial Arts Technique, he didn't find any particularly rare treasures.

After handling these minor issues, Chu Zheng couldn't wait to find Geng Yiyang.

He had long contemplated the Cangyun Secret Realm, always waiting for this day.

To the fact that Chu Zheng had now reached the Soul Condensing Realm, Geng Yiyang seemed somewhat numb, not even surprised, and instead began to talk about the Immortal Alliance's handling of the space passage.

The Immortal Alliance undoubtedly took this matter very seriously, but despite months of back-and-forth, they were still unable to pull a True Immortal to this place, only instructing Ji Yuyan to be cautious and vigilant.

To prevent any accidents, Ji Yuyan had already connected with all the Great Holy Lands to take Immortal Treasures that made up their foundational strength and set up the first line of defense near the Giant Marsh.

Upon hearing this news, Chu Zheng felt slightly puzzled for a moment; for an organization as colossal as the Immortal Alliance, it seemed strange that they couldn't spare even one True Immortal.

But at this moment, his mind was not on such thoughts, as Geng Yiyang had already taken out the latest Cangyun Secret Realm Map and handed it to him:

"Since you have entered the Soul Condensing Realm, then set off immediately."

He held great expectations for what fortune Chu Zheng could acquire from the Cangyun Secret Realm.

...

...

While Chu Zheng was on his way to the Cangyun Secret Realm, the outside world was already in turmoil.

Setting aside the reactions of the Great Holy Lands to the space passage for the moment, the changes in the Hidden Dragon List had indeed tugged at many hearts.

At the top of the Hidden Dragon List, Shang Zuling advanced further, stepping into the Mid Stage of Divine Infant.

This undoubtedly left many talented successors feeling a bit hopeless, but even more attention-grabbing was another piece of news.

The Taixuan Holy Son had condensed his Soul.
