Chapter 97 Taixuan, Chu Zheng
The Divine Infant monk could not take action, so the situation caused by it changed greatly.
The most obvious thing is that the number of monks in the Condensation Realm has begun to increase.
In order to strengthen the sect’s dominance, some Ningbo Realm elders who were practicing in seclusion were all released by the sect to patrol the world.
The reason why the Divine Infant is called powerful is because it possesses huge destructive power that is far inferior to that of the Condensation Realm monks.
Some sects can be passed down for thousands of years, relying on the one or two divine infant monks in the sect.
For example, Qionglou, the current overlord in Juze, has a huge say in Juze because of the Supreme Elder in the late stage of the Divine Infant in its main line.
Now that the ban on the Holy Land has been spread, it is tantamount to abolishing Qionglou’s biggest trump card.
In the past, when the Divine Infant was in charge, some middle- and lower-level sects had to be very careful in their actions and did not dare to go too far.
Now that the Divine Infant has withdrawn from the world, it is tantamount to directly suppressing the secrets of some sects, and the deterrence has been greatly weakened.
Losing the strong to maintain order sometimes results in greater chaos.
However, compared to the battle between the divine infants and the destruction of cities and countries at every turn, the lives of ordinary people will be much easier.
After all, if it hurts too many mortals, it would give those divine infant monks a legitimate reason to take action.
…………
…………
Northwest of Yanchi Island, less than ten thousand miles away, there is a group of islands called 'Changjian'.
There is a small sect located here, called the "Water Sword Sect". The strongest person in the sect, who is in the early stage of the Condensation Realm, is engaged in trading business. There is a demon solver in the sect who is good at processing water demons. , monks often come here to trade after hunting water monsters.
Over time, the city of Xianjiafang grew up here, and many sects left their bases here.
The morning light illuminates the sky and the earth, and the breeze blows gently on the river, sending out a thin mist, and the light and shadow are hazy.
In the port on the shore, ships of various colors intersect, and flying boats hang high in the sky with dazzling flags.
A small boat emerged from the fog and slowly sailed into the port. Song Lingqing took a deep breath, the water vapor was thick and her throat was slightly moist.
When the boat docked, she stepped out and quietly landed ashore.
After meeting Cheng Xuan and Wu Taiyun, Song Lingqing came straight here, preparing to take out all the things she got from Cheng Xuan as soon as possible.
In Cheng Xuan's storage bag, there are a lot of materials from the water demon, which can be exchanged for a lot of spiritual stones.
I don’t know if these things have special marks. If they are left on the body, there is a risk of being traced. It is better to cash them out directly.
After walking around the city, Song Lingqing turned everything including the storage bag into spiritual stones.
The most precious one is the second-level flying sword stored in the long box, which is enough for monks to enter the Taoist realm. It was sold for a high price of 700 middle-grade spiritual stones, which is more than all others combined.
After selling the things, Song Lingqing spent a lot of time inquiring about Chu Zheng and wanted to know some details.
Such a high reward would tempt even the most powerful people. Even if the Divine Infant is unable to take action now, it will still attract a large number of Condensation Realm monks.
In the Soul Condensation Realm, anyone in the superior Immortal Sect can be an inner sect elder. Their strength is extraordinary. With Chu Zheng’s current strength, it would be extremely dangerous if he was targeted.
After gathering some scattered information, Song Lingqing quickly left the city without staying here for long.
Not long after leaving the city, when she was about to reach the shore, Song Lingqing's eyes dimmed and she was blocked by a figure in black robes. Her heart condensed slightly, her mana flowed, and she held down the flying sword.
After seeing the appearance of the person in front of her clearly, she looked shocked:
"Chu..."
Song Lingqing reacted instantly and swallowed the second half of her words, somewhat He scanned the surroundings vigilantly and felt slightly relieved when he saw that no one else was present.
Chu Zheng's current situation was too dangerous for her to be careless.
"Why are you here?" Song Lingqing asked in a low voice: "Do you know how many people are looking for you now?"
"They are looking for your breath."
Chu Zheng said casually and threw Song Lingqing's storage bag over. Then his cheek bones moved slightly, and his appearance changed in the blink of an eye.
On the way here, he had already tried to practice the "false form" magical power, trying to change his breath, but he still couldn't get the slightest clue. Obviously, he was not strong enough, so he could only change the appearance to cover it up.
Song Lingqing put the storage bag away and looked a little embarrassed when she saw the contents in the storage bag.
At that time, Chu Zheng asked for this storage bag, but she didn’t think too much about it. Many things had not been taken out. Fortunately, looking at it now, there were basically no traces of it being moved.
Looking at Song Lingqing in front of him, Chu Zheng sighed softly in his heart. After all, they are sisters, and there are still some similarities between their eyebrows.
However, after the big change, Song Lingqing seemed a little unapproachable, as cold as a sword, while Song Lingxue was more like a piece of warm jade in front of him.
“How much have you heard about me?”
After coming back to his senses, Chu Zheng asked about the news about him. Judging from Song Lingqing's reaction just now, it was obvious that he already knew about the reward.
He has been in seclusion for the past two months and has not listened too much to the outside world. He is still somewhat unclear about the situation and needs some information to assist his analysis.
"I only found out yesterday. I just inquired about some information. It seems that several holy places are involved in your reward. Now most of the sects in the entire cultivation world are looking for you." Song Lingqing frowned slightly. Wrinkled, slightly worried.
Hearing that several major holy places were involved, Chu Zheng's eyes narrowed and he asked: "Where is Taixuan?"
"Taixuan... there hasn't been much movement, it seems that he has been preparing recently. After reopening the mountain gate and recruiting disciples, many casual cultivators went there, wanting to join in the fun.”
Even if Taixuan is closed for thousands of years, it is still a holy land. There is a method to become an immortal within the gate, and there are even immortal treasures to suppress luck.
If given the opportunity to join, no monk would refuse. Even if you are just starting out and becoming an outer disciple, it is better than wandering around.
Song Lingqing recounts some of the changes that occurred during this period.
When he learned that the divine infant had escaped from the world, Chu Zheng's eyes flashed with joy. This was undoubtedly an unexpected joy for him.
The Divine Infant cannot take action. When he enters the Taoist womb, and with the cultivation of the Immortal Tao, he will be able to roam the world, and his safety will be greatly increased, and he will not be in danger.
After hearing the news about the talks at the Five Holy Lands, Chu Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly, rubbed his brows, and fell into deep thought.
As for his reward, it was obviously only reported recently, and it is probably closely related to this meeting.
The other major holy places joined forces to target him, but Taixuan didn't respond at all. The involvement in this is very intriguing.
Chu Zheng himself wouldn’t believe it if he said how much the old guy Geng Yiyang valued him.
I met Geng Yiyang, and he lost four treasures: his wife, the inheritance jade tablet of Taixuan Shenhuo Sutra, the fire of the immortal Tianlin fire, and the Lihuo gun.
And he got nothing from Geng Yiyang.
Geng Yiyang said that he helped him avoid disaster and endured Ling Qi's death, but Chu Zheng knew very well that the moment Ling Qi died, his disaster had been eliminated.
From the attitudes of Zhou Zili and Ling Qi, it is obvious that Taixu Holy Land is targeting Taixuan, not Chu Zheng.
In fact, if Geng Yiyang had not intervened forcefully, so many people would not have died, and it would have been impossible for those major holy places to notice the existence of Chu Zheng.
Chu Zheng thought for a long time, but still couldn't get a clue. His eyes wandered around, and when he glanced at Song Lingqing, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind.
His current situation is so similar to that of Song Lingqing before, almost the same.
There are only two possible reasons why those major holy places are targeting him like this. One is because of Taixuan Holy Land, and the other is fear.
Nowadays, his ranking on the Hidden Dragon List is only over 7,000. Compared with those geniuses in the Holy Land, he has no sense of existence at all. Judging from the superficial information, these holy places are simply not worth the trouble.
Obviously, there were certain factors in Chu Zheng that made them unable to sit still.
Apart from talent, Chu Zheng could not think of other possibilities.
Chu Zheng has a very clear understanding of his own cultivation speed. In less than a year, he has surpassed Yangli and entered the late stage of Lingquan. This speed is undoubtedly astonishing in the immortal way. , even better than super-grade immortal bones.
But it is impossible for these holy places to know this news. The only one who knows this information is the Lihuo Gun, and the Lihuo Gun is now in the hands of Geng Yiyang.
The answer is already obvious.
The only explanation for Chu Zheng's current situation is that this old guy Geng Yiyang leaked information about him.
"Ha..."
After figuring out the joints, Chu Zheng tightened his teeth, his blood surged for a moment, and he laughed angrily.
Chu Zheng didn't want to guess the purpose of Geng Yiyang's move, let alone think about the reason. Thanks to this old guy, he was indeed in big trouble now, with enemies on all sides.
“By the way, I’ll give you back the spirit stone.”
Seeing Chu Zheng standing there blankly, Song Lingqing suddenly remembered something and took off the storage bag on her waist.
After traveling for more than half a year, she has accumulated a lot of wealth, and she is always thinking about returning Chu Zheng's spiritual stone.
Although she no longer knows when the favor she owes will be repaid, she can feel better if she pays back some of it first.
"Keep it for yourself. We are all one family, so there is no need to make such a clear distinction."
Chu Zheng waved his hand and pushed the storage bag back. Compared with the previous time when we got along, His attitude was much more casual.
Today is different from the past. He married Song Lingxue, and Song Lingqing is naturally his sister-in-law. The family does not need to be too senior, and it is appropriate to give her some care.
"Family?"
Hearing this, Song Lingqing looked slightly hesitant. To her ears, these words were undoubtedly too intimate.
Seeing this, Chu Zheng reacted and recounted the events of this period one by one.
Chu Zheng said it very simply and explained it in one sentence, but Song Lingqing was a little frightened when she heard it.
Lingquan monk is an enemy of the Holy Land. This is something that even rumors cannot spread.
No storyteller on the street would tell such a story, because no one would believe it.
The existence of the Qianlong List subverted her perception.
On the Hidden Dragon List, Song Lingqing's name originally existed, but now it ranks more than 12,000 people, which is at the bottom.
After that, there are monks in the cultivation realm. They participate in the competition not for ranking, but to see the world.
If they wait until the next competition, their age has already passed and they will have no way to participate again.
This is your only chance in this life.
When she heard that Chu Zheng was married, Song Lingqing was inevitably a little distracted.
However, after being separated for several months, when we met again, we somehow became a family.
The man in front of me has become my sister’s husband.
Song Lingqing had no doubts about Chu Zheng’s words, and there was no need for Chu Zheng to lie to her.
After being silent for a long time, Song Lingqing lowered her head and tied the storage bag back to her waist. She subconsciously rubbed her forearms. She felt that the wind blowing from outside the island suddenly became cooler, making her feel chilly.
After being lost for a moment, Song Lingqing whispered: "What are your plans next?"
Her first reaction was the Hidden Dragon Competition among Ten Thousand Sects.
No matter which aspect you look at, Chu Zheng cannot avoid this key node.
The Ten Thousand Sects Hidden Dragon Competition has begun, and people from the Martial Palace will come here to take away my sister. This is inevitable. If you want to find a turning point, you must go.
"When the Ten Thousand Sects Hidden Dragon Competition starts, I'm going to check out the situation."
Chu Zheng's answer did not exceed Song Lingqing's expectations.
But in fact, what Chu Zheng thought was very different from what she imagined.
In the eyes of Chu Zheng, the Hidden Dragon Competition of Ten Thousand Sects is a way to contact outside forces. Judging from the handbook obtained previously, there must be other Qi Refiners in this universe. .
It’s just that it doesn’t exist in Cangyun Realm.
In ten years, relying on one's own strength to resist a world of immortal monks is undoubtedly a fantasy, but if we can get in touch with outside the territory and get help from other alchemists, there may be a chance.
At least there is a chance to save one's life.
Right now, his Qi refining cultivation is still shallow. When he meets a powerful monk, he can still disperse the Dantian Yuan Qi to cover up one or two things. When he has cultivated the Tao Embryo or even the Golden Elixir, he will be unable to avoid it. Yes, sooner or later there will be conflict.
Hearing this, Song Lingqing was silent for a moment, nodded and said: "I will go with you."
The Hidden Dragon Competition of Ten Thousand Sects is also a knot in her heart.
In fact, if it were not for the intervention of the Chu government, the Song family would have been destroyed long ago, and her immortal bones would be completely destroyed. Her only value is that as Han Yuanqing, the ancestor of the Han family, said at the time, she would be sheltered by a child of a certain aristocratic family and end her remaining life.
Even if she doesn't want to, the final result will not change much. Without strength, there is no capital to resist.
She was originally an abandoned child of the Phantom Sect. When she entered the school on the same day as Xiao Yuanqing, her path was already set.
How could she be willing to do this?
“The place where the Ten Thousand Sects Hidden Dragon Competition is held is in Biluo Kingdom, which is still far away. If you want to participate, I’m afraid you will have to leave in the near future.”
Song Lingqing had already started planning her next trip. The speed of the Lingquan Realm monks was as fast as the sky, more than ten thousand miles a day. If they kept traveling all year round, it would only be a few million miles.
And Biluo Country is tens of millions of miles away.
“I have no plans to participate in the Qianlong Competition.”
Chu Zheng shook his head and rejected Song Lingqing’s idea, with a calm look on his face with a hint of coldness.
“Then what are you going to do?”
Song Lingqing was stunned, a little puzzled: "Now your name is already on the Qianlong List..."
"I want to kill the list."
Chu Zheng's eyes were dull, with murderous intent surging.
From beginning to end, he never planned to participate in the so-called competition step by step.
The old guy Geng Yiyang stood aside and watched, so Chu Zheng naturally wanted to find a way to cause him some trouble.
After all, he is now the Taixuan Holy Land, Chu Zheng.
