Chapter 105: Zhao Family’s Heritage, Immortal Foundation
In the mouth of Zhao Liangguang, the Great Zhou Emperor, Chu Zheng Detective heard many secrets.
A sudden visit from the Emperor of Zhou gave him answers to all the questions he had.
Zhao's strength is much stronger than Chu Zheng had expected.
The uncle of the Fourteenth Emperor that Zhao Yun'an mentioned earlier was a divine infant with perfect power and was about to undergo a divine transformation.
The Divine Infant has reached perfection, and a large sect like the Phantom Spirit Sect, with one sect leading the supreme master, can only cultivate in this way.
This great uncle of the Fourteenth Emperor is now active in the northern part of the Southern Territory. He has become a high-level member of a large sect and has an unusual status.
The background of the Zhao family goes far beyond that.
The most important secret lies in Zhao Tingxian.
Before Zhao Tingxian was born, there was nothing special about the Zhao family. It was just a family of mortals. But now, in almost every generation, several immortal seedlings are born, with varying talents.
Among these immortal seedlings, those with poor talents basically stayed within the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty, while most of those with good talents stayed away from the Great Zhou Dynasty and joined many giant sects of immortal sects to find a way out.
The bloodline of the Zhao family has undergone some strange changes since Zhao Tingxian.
This inevitably made Chu Zhengsheng have some speculations. For a family of true immortals like the Song family, it was not the bloodline family that created the true immortals, but the true immortals created the bloodline.
Zhao Tingxian's cultivation has most likely reached the realm of true immortals, and the power of his bloodline has affected the entire family.
This kind of influence between bloodlines is really weird. It is a miracle for one person to change an entire family, which greatly reduces the difficulty for future generations to enter the immortal gate.
From this point of view alone, if the true immortal exists in the world forever, the power of the family will be infinitely magnified, even far beyond the sect.
In terms of close connections, there are only a handful of relationships in this world that can transcend blood ties.
The Zhao family of the Great Zhou Dynasty can be said to have achieved the ultimate in making a fortune silently. Who would have thought that a small secular dynasty has become a family of true immortals, and it has grown rapidly in a subtle way.
For more than a thousand years, the children of the Zhao family have quietly entered various major immortal sects, and now most of them have achieved success in cultivation.
Even the emperor Zhao Yun'an did not know how powerful the Zhao family was. Zhao Liangguang had no right to know if he was not pregnant with immortal bones.

After digesting this information, Chu Zheng left the small world and returned to his previous state.
Practice in seclusion and read the classics along the way.
There are many records about martial arts in the Cangshuge. The Great Zhou Dynasty has retained a large part of the secret codes of martial arts from the legacy of the previous dynasty.
Among them, there are not a few who have reached the first and second levels.
There are even many records showing that Zhao secretly even tried to let his disciples without immortal bones study martial arts.
This is not daring, but it was gradually shelved because the road was too difficult.
From these martial arts classics, Chu Zheng roughly saw some differences between martial arts and immortality.
The Immortal Path also nourishes strength, but after reaching the Condensation Realm, the center of gravity will gradually shift, and more energy will be placed on the soul.
Through the interaction between the soul and the heaven and earth, and understanding the laws, the immortal monks can cast powerful and terrifying spells.
The ultimate purpose of training the body in the immortal way is to be able to carry the powerful soul of the soul.
Once the standard for supporting the soul is reached, no further effort will be spent on refining the body, unless some monks whose talents are different from ordinary people will focus on refining the body.
However, no matter how powerful the body-refining cultivator is, there is still a huge gap between him and the martial arts cultivator.
The most orthodox path of martial arts practice begins with the training of the five bodies. After going through the five realms of tendons, veins strengthening, skin refining, bone forging, and blood exchange, one can enter the Qi Condensation realm.
Afterwards, he gathers Qi and turns it into a gang, holds the gang into an elixir, and breaks the elixir to melt all the orifices. From then on, the level of life undergoes a transformation, the divine power is generated by itself, and he reaches the realm of the Martial God.
There has been a slight deviation between today's martial arts and the orthodox path of martial arts practice, and the path has gone astray.
Song Lingxue’s situation is extremely special.
If it weren’t for the Song family’s martial arts, which would have been of an extraordinary level, plus Chu Zheng’s Yuanyang, which blended with her own Yuanyin, giving her a boost of innate energy, she wanted to enter the Yuangang , I still don’t know how many detours I have to take.
Compared with Xuantian Wubi, these martial arts skills in the treasury were far behind. After Chu Zheng weighed them for a moment, he put them away temporarily and was not in a hurry to let Song Yun try them.
There are a lot of cultivation resources in Zhao Liangguang's storage bag, which are at least much richer than those of Lingquan realm disciples in ordinary sects.
It can be seen from this that although they are far away from the secular world, there are still many children of the Zhao family who are supporting the family and providing a lot of help to these blood relatives who stayed in Dazhou.
…………
…………
In the blink of an eye, the sun rises and the moon sets, and more than a month has passed.
At dusk, the afterglow of the setting sun burned slowly and dyed the sky red. The setting sun poured into the quiet room and smeared it with a pale gold.
Chu Zheng was sitting cross-legged on the couch, holding a spiritual elixir in his mouth, two super-grade spiritual stones in his hands, and practicing with his eyes closed.
In these days, his practice became extremely regular, practicing the Taixuan Shenhuo Sutra during the day.
At night, circulate Qi around the sky, borrow the yin Qi of the moonlight, calm the rising Yang state of the divine fire, and further increase the energy in the body.
The two fellow cultivators have not affected the progress of their cultivation at all, and even accelerated it by a point.
Buzz -
Suddenly, a wave of air surged, Chu Zheng's aura changed, and the mana in his dantian suddenly increased sharply. His cultivation of immortality took a further step, reaching the peak of the spiritual spring realm.
The stars gradually rose outside the quiet room. After a while, Chu Zheng just slowly opened his eyes and let out a sigh of relief.
What is peak? There is no way forward, he has reached the end of the spiritual spring realm, and the path is within reach.
Strictly speaking, Chu Zheng's time for practicing immortality was only half a year. With the blessing of Tian Xingyan and the continuous use of spiritual pills, his cultivation progress was so terrifying.
It takes less than a year to enter the Tao. At this speed, even a monster with super-grade immortal bones and a special spirit body has to hold back.
At the peak of Lingquan, the next step is to prepare to enter the Tao and gather the foundation of the Tao.
This step is crucial. Tall buildings rise from the ground, and entering the Tao is the foundation for becoming an immortal.
Building a three-layer immortal foundation is inferior. At most, if you step into the Ningbo, there is no hope for the divine infant.
Those who build a six-layer Immortal Foundation are considered medium and can enter the Nine Transformations of the Divine Infant, and are expected to gain access to the mysteries.
Those above the seventh level are considered superior and have the qualifications to become immortals.
Building the Immortal Foundation does not require relying on external objects, but the higher the level of the Immortal Bone, the stronger the Immortal Foundation. This is an undisputed fact.
Most of the immortal foundations cast from high-grade immortal bones are at the sixth level, and a small part of the rest are above the seventh level. They are the best among the high-grade immortal bones.
Those with poor talents also have the opportunity to improve the quality of their immortal base through spiritual objects. This is an opportunity to change their lives.
Even low-grade immortal bones, with enough spiritual support, can still hope to condense the middle-grade immortal foundation. There have been some cases in Cangyun Realm in the past.
In the Taixuan Shenhuo Sutra, casting the Immortal Foundation has little to do with the grade of fire in the body, but depends more on the Immortal Bone. However, as one's cultivation deepens, the heaven-defying aspects of Taixuan Shenhuo Sutra will gradually become apparent, and it can add bricks and tiles to the already established immortal foundation.
In the Divine Infant Realm, by refining the Immortal Fire, you can have a chance to transform, and have the opportunity to push your Immortal Base to the eighth level. This is a sure-fire qualification for being a true Immortal.
However, there are also many risks in this. The fairy fire already contains the true spirit.
During the refining process, there were many people who were burned to ashes by the fire.
With the Five Elements Shaping Yuan Pill, at least before the Golden Pill, Chu Zheng didn't have to spend too much thought on refining Qi and could just practice step by step.
The most important thing before Chu Zheng now is to prepare to gather the Immortal Foundation.
He has no immortal bones. According to the orthodox immortal way, he cannot cultivate immortality at all. Whether he can condense the immortal foundation is completely unknown.
Chu Zheng unfolded the Taixuan Divine Fire Sutra, and after observing it in his mind for a long time, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, and an extremely bold idea emerged.
His current cultivation speed was brought to him by Tianxingyan. If he wanted to further improve his cultivation speed in the immortal way, he could only change the fire.
Fire types cannot coexist. If you want to refine new fire types, in addition to stripping off the original fire types, it is to use the strong to eat the weak. The grade of the fire will not change as a result.
Just like a divine infant monk, no matter how much first- and second-order elixirs are taken, they will only increase the impurities in the body, and will have little effect on the improvement of cultivation.
What Chu Zheng wants to try is to fuse the fire of these divine fires by condensing the true fire of samadhi in order to achieve transformation.
When Samadhi gathers, it becomes fire, and when dispersed, it becomes Qi. Fundamentally speaking, it is not the same thing as the seed of divine fire, but the method of fusion may have merits.
With Chu Zheng's current vision, it is too difficult to adjust a method of becoming an immortal, so he can only make some attempts.
The right path is to practice all kinds of things at the same time and learn by analogy. What Chu Zheng wants is that one plus one is far greater than two.
Continuously devouring fire, it is not impossible to achieve it by fusing fire.
After pondering for a moment, Chu Zheng stood up and walked out of the quiet room.
He turned his head and glanced at the library, then quickly looked away.
More than ten days ago, this library had lost its appeal to him, and he had absorbed all the useful information in it.
What is left is mostly dross, such as the emperor of a certain generation who came to visit such and such on a certain day of a certain month and year, as well as the various verbal quarrels among officials during the court meeting. This kind of meaningless historical data is really lacking.
If it were an ordinary world, without the intervention of extraordinary powers, Chu Zheng might be very interested in the historical evolution of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
He will even go as far as to find out how many concubines the previous Zhou emperor had, and what kind of overt and covert conflicts these concubines had because of the partisan disputes in the court.
But these things are no longer enough to attract Chu Zheng’s interest.
First, due to the intervention of extraordinary power, not much changed between the Great Zhou Dynasty and the previous dynasty.
Judging from the structure of the entire dynasty, for ordinary mortals, the path to ascend has always existed, but it is only limited to the mortal world. Becoming a martial arts master, or pursuing an official career and becoming a minister, this is the top.
Both of them, with their lifespans repeatedly extended for more than a thousand years, can no longer be called ancient history for Chu Zheng today.
The lifespan of the Jade Bone Realm has exceeded a thousand years, and the changes brought about by the extension of lifespan are far more than what they seem on the surface.
Standing in the Imperial Palace of the Great Zhou at this moment, through the ancient books in the library, Chu Zheng could see at a glance that at the beginning of the birth of the Great Zhou, all the secrets had been uncovered.
A dynasty that is not as long-lived as its own is gradually losing its appeal to Chu Zheng and is like a piece of chicken.
Time is lengthening in his eyes, but history is gradually shortening.
After sighing, Chu Zheng used his invisibility technique and turned into a wisp of breeze, floating to another corner of the palace.
This place is the palace treasure house, where the most precious treasures of the Great Zhou Dynasty are stored.
Chu Zheng didn’t have much interest in this place before, but Zhao Liangguang’s storage bag changed his mind. There may be a lot of cultivation resources here.
The treasure house is not tightly guarded, but because the monk who has entered the Taoist realm is practicing not far away, he can detect many disturbances in an instant.
However, he obviously was not aware of Chu Zheng's existence. He practiced very seriously and did not even let go of his spiritual thoughts.
Chu Zheng passed through the treasure house door silently. When he saw the scene in the treasure house, he only glanced at it, and then began to carry it to the small world. No matter what it was, he took it all as ordered.
Before leaving, he made an IOU, then released Zhao Liangguang and used some means to let him sleep for at least a few days, enough for him to go far away.
…………
…………
When Zhao Liangguang woke up, the storage bag beside him was empty, and the spiritual stone pills, including the magical weapons, were gone.
The treasure house of the palace was also completely empty, nothing was left, everything was looted.
There is a note stuck in the corner next to the treasury door.
【I borrowed it from you. When you have time, go to Taixuan Holy Land to pick it up and tell me my name. My name is Chu Zheng. 】
"Taixuan Holy Land...Chu Zheng..."
Seeing these two words, Zhao Liangguang's scalp felt numb. He had received the news a long time ago when there was such a big movement from the outside world.
No matter how poor the Taixuan Holy Land is, it is still a holy land. How could he dare to ask for these things.
Zhao Liangguang thought for a moment and decided to suppress the news about Chu Zheng for the time being.
Dazhou has too many secrets and attracts so many eyes, which is not good.
…………
.........
Although Zhao Liangguang did not intend to make the matter a big deal, within a few days, the news of Chu Zheng's appearance in Dazhou had spread like wildfire.
Even though the surrounding countries have been dug up three feet, there is still no Ningjing monk who dares to set foot in the Great Zhou.
The more powerful the sect, the more fearful it is of Da Zhou.
After all, the piece of blue sky above your head is now named Zhao.
It is said that God is impartial, but as long as one is human, there can never be true fairness, which is contrary to human nature.
But at this moment, the situation has changed.
The exact news of Chu Zheng’s appearance forced them to set foot on this land.
…………
…………
The news about his appearance in Da Zhou was naturally released by Chu Zheng himself in order to muddy the water and facilitate his own actions.
When a large number of geniuses on the Hidden Dragon List came towards the Great Zhou Dynasty, Chu Zheng had quietly made a comeback and returned to Juze again.
He will pass through this place and continue to explore towards the east, looking for spiritual objects that can improve the quality of the Immortal Base.
