Chapter 181: Chapter 133: Water-Fire Spirit Body, The Plan (Requesting Monthly Tickets!)
"The seals remaining around the Cangyun Secret Realm are extremely strong, requiring at least the cultivation of Soul Condensing Realm to enter. However, if one's divine soul is overly powerful, having already undergone Nascent Soul Transformation, they will also be detected by the seals and thus obstructed from entering,"
"Even if you manage to enter, you will have a maximum of three months. Once the time is up, the seal will detect you and subsequently eject you from the secret realm,"
"Once the seal memorizes your aura, you will not be able to enter again. In other words, a cultivator only has this opportunity during the Soul Condensing Realm in their lifetime,"
"Shang Cangyun truly had a destiny connected to the heavens. When he found this secret realm, he was not yet sixteen years old, and it had been less than a year since he entered Soul Condensing. He just so happened to be able to enter,"
Geng Yiyang's gaze drifted as he appeared lost in thought as if falling into memories, "In the blink of an eye, it has been ten thousand years since I entered,"
"Did the Holy Master get to see the remains of a True Immortal?" Chu Zheng asked curiously.
"No," Geng Yiyang shook his head casually, "But I did see a deity,"
"A deity?"
"An incense-provided Yin God who came to life as a result of the worship of living beings, struggling to survive in an abandoned temple. With the death of its worshippers, it was on the verge of perishing. It was said that in ancient times, it had its moments of glory, rivaling True Immortals,"
When it came to this point, Geng Yiyang suddenly let out a scoff,
"I originally thought of taking it out of Cangyun Secret Realm and find a cultivator willing to foster a Yin God, offering it a chance to live. Instead, it had a moment of madness, promising me immortality if I would worship it as a god and master. In the end, I burnt its last divine statue, and it perished completely,"
Hearing this, Chu Zheng fell silent, lost in contemplation. The Yin God supported by incense-fire seemed like another path of cultivation.
"Apart from that deity, I also obtained a piece of Immortal Ore, which I took back to Taixuan,"
After the laugh, Geng Yiyang's expression turned somewhat melancholic, "I originally planned to keep it until the day I became an immortal, to personally refine an Immortal Treasure. But now... it seems I won't be needing it. You, however, may have a chance to use it, as it isn't easy to find such a piece of Immortal Ore in today's Cangyun Realm,"
As he finished speaking, he fell into a lengthy silence, with a somewhat absent-minded look.
Upon looking back, he suddenly remembered many who had passed away, feeling that the past was like clouds filled with regrets. A lifetime of cultivation, to die a peaceful death, perhaps that was already out of reach for ordinary people.
After a long while, Geng Yiyang regained his senses and waved his hand,
"Go on then. I've heard from Ru Long about you seeking a cultivation technique. I'll think of a solution for you and let you know when there's news,"
"Thank you, Holy Master,"
Chu Zheng took a deep breath, bowed deeply, "The favor I owe you today, I shall repay in the future,"
At those words, Geng Yiyang's gaze intensified, "Then promise me one thing now, how about it?"
"The Holy Master may speak frankly,"
"I may have something I need your help with later on. If it's within your capabilities, you cannot refuse,"
"Naturally,"
Without hesitation, Chu Zheng nodded in agreement.
Having taken so many spiritual resources from Taixuan, it was impossible for him to do nothing in return, especially if it was within his capabilities.
Geng Yiyang cracked a smile, his turbid eyes overflowing with an extremely gentle softness, then waved his hand and slowly closed his eyes.
"Disciple takes his leave,"
Seeing the smile on Geng Yiyang's face, Chu Zheng felt a bit puzzled. After hesitating for a while, he turned and left.
After all, Geng Yiyang wouldn't harm him; otherwise, he would have acted sooner rather than waiting until now.
......
......
Fire Seeds cannot coexist. If one wants to assimilate a new Fire Seed, aside from stripping away the original Fire Seed, the alternative is the strong absorbing the weak. The Quality of a Fire Seed does not change as a result.
However, even before reaching the Entry Dao Realm, Chu Zheng had pondered trying to conjoin the Fire Seeds of these Divine Fires, hoping for a transformation by condensing Samadhi True Fire through the Qi Refining Lineage method.
But the Samadhi True Fire, forming fire when concentrated and returning to Qi when dispersed, fundamentally is not the same as Divine Fire. The integration of Fire Seeds undoubtedly poses a great difficulty.
With his current cultivation, Chu Zheng could only make some attempts. If he hadn't had the repair panel, he wouldn't even have the chance to try.
Returning to his secluded chamber, Chu Zheng took out the Phoenix Flame and immediately began the refinement process.
Upon leaving the jade case, the Phoenix Flame instantly expanded, filling the whole chamber, turned entirely crimson red, resembling a red divine bird with spread wings.
An unbearable scorching heat assaulted him, causing Chu Zheng's skin to crack instantly, blood not even having time to flow before drying up.
This was but a Fire Seed, with its power hidden and unmanifest. If it was fully unleashed, even a cultivator at the Divine Transformation Realm would be incinerated in an instant.
Undisturbed, Chu Zheng opened his mouth and swallowed the Fire Seed in a flash; the crust of dried blood on his body peeled off layer by layer and quickly new skin grew back.
The next instant, his flesh dried up once more as the struggle between Fire Seeds commenced within him.
The Heavenly Star Flame, a mere Fifth Order Divine Fire, was vastly inferior to the Phoenix Flame and after merely a moment, it was completely devoured. Chu Zheng didn't even get the chance to attempt integration before the struggle concluded.
With no other options, he began the process methodically, his Five Elements Foundation in full operation and mana surging fiercely, he started to suppress the Phoenix Flame's Fire Seed. Meanwhile, he ran the Qi-refining Technique, channeling the overwhelming Fire Element Qi into the Fire Element Foundation.
A Sixth Order Divine Fire was entirely different from a Fifth Order one. The Phoenix Flame seemed to have a hint of awareness, strongly resisting Chu Zheng's attempts to refine it.
The Water Element Immortal Root in the dantian trembled slightly, and began to operate on its own, drawing a large amount of water attribute spiritual qi from the void into the body, and started to help Chu Zheng suppress some of the threatening power of the Fire Seed.
With an abundance of Fire Element Qi as nourishment, the Fire Element Foundation quickly underwent a transformation and showed signs of fusion.
The external repair panel kept operating, mending Chu Zheng's body which was continuously drying out and depleting.
Using the cultivation of the Entry Dao Realm to refine a Sixth Order Fire Seed without anyone's help in suppressing the might of the Fire Seed was something unheard of in the history of Taixuan Holy Land.
It was the presence of the panel that gave Chu Zheng the possibility of unlimited trial and error.

After repeating this process for several days, the refinement of the Fire Seed was finally completed.
The Fire Element Immortal Root formed smoothly, and alongside the Water Element Immortal Root, it achieved a certain balance. Each occupied one-third of the dantian, with the remaining one-third occupied by the other three Dao Foundations.
At the moment the Immortal Root took shape, Chu Zheng felt the surrounding environment become much more comfortable, and his body was flooded with an inner joy.
For the Fire Element Immortal Root, the environment of Taixuan Holy Land was undoubtedly most suitable.
Chu Zheng slowly opened his eyes, glanced at the panel, and his eyebrows twitched slightly.
[Root Bone: Five Elements Immortal Bones (Superior Quality), Water-Fire Spirit Body.]
The Water Spirit Body underwent a change and turned into a Water-Fire Spirit Body. Not only the fire attribute spiritual qi, but Chu Zheng's affinity with water attribute spiritual qi had also improved further, as if they complemented each other.
This change made Chu Zheng even more certain of a previous speculation about Zhao Tingxian.
Zhao Tingxian was born with a Fire Spirit Body and practiced the Great Void Scripture. It was very likely that he had reached the same step Chu Zheng was now taking.
The nature of the Great Void Scripture was water, which contradicted Zhao Tingxian's Fire Spirit Body. He should not have grown so fast, even stepping into the True Immortal Realm.
Perhaps, like Chu Zheng's current situation, Zhao Tingxian had found a balance between his own physique and the Great Void Scripture, and even condensed two Celestial Foundations, thereby gaining entry to the Immortal Sect.
Chu Zheng operated his cultivation technique and soon noticed something unusual. The spiritual power absorbed through the Water-Fire Immortal Root was extremely pure, saving a lot of energy when refining Qi.
Initially, Chu Zheng relied on the Qi-refining Technique to forcibly draw spiritual qi to cultivate Immortal Law, but now the Immortal Root in his body could start to nourish the Qi-refining Technique, initially achieving the expectation of dual-path cultivation that he had at the beginning, complementing each other.
The condensation of the Dao Embryo was now close at hand.
After closing up for cultivation and solidifying his cultivation for a few more days, Chu Zheng left seclusion and made some arrangements.
He was going to leave Taixuan soon to find Song Lingqing and, along the way, collect the remaining broken swords of the Heavenly Aura Sword Array.
Since his return to Taixuan, Song Yun and Bai Nian had been staying with Li Mingzhou and a group of Martial Cultivators. There was no need to bring them along for this trip, as there was no safer place than staying in Taixuan.
After pondering for a while, Chu Zheng looked towards the martial arts training ground at the foot of Taixuan Main Peak.
The future of Taixuan was there.
A moment later, Chu Zheng stepped onto the training ground. It was very quiet, with over two thousand children sitting calmly in the center of the ground, channeling qi into their bodies and tempering their physical forms.
Fu Quanliang was watching over them, holding a Jade Book and meticulously recording the speed at which each person channeled qi into their bodies. This was a lengthy process that would take several months.
The distinction between Lower Quality and Middle Quality Immortal Bones could only be based on the speed at which one channels qi into the body.
However, there were some exceptions. Some children, with duller talents, would have misconceptions about cultivation techniques, which made their efforts less effective and only noticeable later on.
Once all these children completed Nourishing Power, they would refine the first Divine Fire Seed of their lives. At that time, based on the affinity with Divine Fire, Taixuan would experience its first division, reorganizing into the Outer Sect and the Inner Sect.
Disciples with higher talent would naturally receive more resource allocation, which is true in any sect.
But for now it was still early, as these children had just started and their cultivation was still in the First or Second Order of the Nourishing Power Realm. It would take at least over a year for those with High Quality Immortal Bones to reach the Spirit Spring Realm.
Chu Zheng watched quietly from the side without interfering.
An hour later, Fu Quanliang put away the Jade Book and gently clapped his hands, awakening the children:
"Today's morning session is over, return to your cultivation. If anyone feels unwell, let me know immediately."
"Thank you, Senior Brother Fu!"
The children all got up one after another, starting to move their bodies. The noise in the training ground exploded instantly. Nevertheless, there were still nearly a hundred children who continued to sit and cultivate quietly, unintentionally revealing the gap that had already begun to emerge.
It wasn't long before someone noticed Chu Zheng standing in the corner of the training ground, and the noise in the ground quieted down significantly.
These children were not too close to Chu Zheng, the Saint Heir, and even appeared somewhat fearful.
In their minds, the Saint Heir was the future master of Taixuan Holy Land, holding a much higher status than the Elders.
Fu Quanliang hesitated slightly and hurried over with some restraint, bowing deeply:
"Greetings, Saint Heir."
He had guided Chu Zheng into the Cultivation World, and no one else knew better how terrifyingly fast Chu Zheng had grown. With Chu Zheng's current status now different from the past, naturally, he could no longer be as casual as before.
Chu Zheng placed his hand on Fu Quanliang's shoulder, and soon the panel transmitted a prompt.
