Chapter 195: Chapter 145: Two Sides of Yin and Yang, Condensing the Soul, Cangyun Secret Realm Map

Upon mentioning Evil Demons, Geng Yiyang's face betrayed an obvious gravity:

"Encountering an Evil Demon is a matter of life and death."

"Is it that Evil Demons cannot communicate, or do they need to kill to sustain themselves?"

Hearing Geng Yiyang's words, Chu Zheng couldn't help but feel puzzled; creatures born solely for slaughter seemed rather strange.

The conflicts and fights among creatures mostly arise over territory, resources, mates, and survival.

Occasionally, there are aberrations that derive pleasure from slaughter, but that too is for amusement, a pursuit of spiritual enjoyment.

If it were said that Evil Demons exist purely to kill all living beings in this world, without any profit or resource conflict, that would undoubtedly contradict the basic logic of a species' inheritance.

"I have never seen a living Evil Demon; their appearances vary, some even resemble the Human Race, and there is no exact record as to whether they can communicate."

Geng Yiyang shook his head and said solemnly, "To my knowledge, the realm where the Evil Demons reside is not within the universe we perceive."

"Not within the universe we perceive? What does that imply?" Chu Zheng was slightly startled, struggling to understand at first.

"Heaven and earth are divided into yin and yang; the universe itself has two sides of yin and yang."

Geng Yiyang slowly raised his hand, with a spectacular starry sky woven in his palm, rising and falling.

In an instant, the starry sky reversed, the stars vanished, and transformed into a chaotic void of nothingness.

"The yin I speak of is not the Yellow Springs to which souls go after death, but another realm of nothingness."

"The Alien Realm is on the opposite side of the universe we see, standing back to back with it. Apart from the occasional spatial passages, no other entrances can be found."

Geng Yiyang dissipated the illusion in his hand, his brow still heavy with concern:

"There once was an existence above an Immortal King who ventured into the land of Evil Demons through a spatial passage, but after circling within, he never found its bounds and had to return without accomplishing anything."

"The evil energy in the Alien Realm cannot sustain spiritual cultivation and erodes everything in this world, even tainting the Heavenly Dao. Creatures corrupted by the evil energy will inevitably spawn inner demons, leading to the obliteration of True Spirits. New Evil Demons will be born within the Spiritual Body, taking over the remains."

"Isn't this spatial passage extremely dangerous then?"

Chu Zheng frowned increasingly as he listened: "The Holy Master just mentioned that an Immortal Venerable's remains suppress the passage, this..."

"Have you discovered something?" Geng Yiyang gazed at Chu Zheng, his heart sinking slightly.

Although he hadn't noticed anything unusual during his last time in the Giant Marsh, he couldn't rule out that Chu Zheng might have discovered something.

If there were really a problem with this passage, even True Immortals couldn't withstand it.

The real seal of this passage is the remains of the Immortal Venerable on the other side; if something were wrong with the Immortal Venerable's remains, ordinary True Immortals simply couldn't prevent an invasion from the Evil Demon Realm. At least a being beyond an Immortal Venerable would be needed on site.

Nowadays, Cangyun is no longer as it was; if the spatial passage were to open again, it is uncertain whether Cangyun could withstand a single encounter with the Alien Realm's evil energy.

"I sensed an anomaly in the nature's spiritual energy, likely due to the evil energy mentioned by the Holy Master infiltrating."

The evil energy within the spatial channel in the Giant Marsh was seeping extremely slowly; if not for Qi Cultivator's heightened sensitivity to Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, Chu Zheng might not have detected it at all.

"This matter is of great importance; I will immediately report it to the Immortal Alliance." Geng Yiyang did not delay, for if he had not detected the anomaly, someone of Chu Zheng's cultivation would never have been aware of the spatial passage's existence.

Chu Zheng contemplated for a moment, asked a few more questions about the Alien Realm, but unfortunately, Geng Yiyang knew very little as well.

After all, when the spatial passage was sealed, he hadn't yet been born, and had only learned some details from his sect elders after entering the path of cultivation.

Though somewhat helpless, Chu Zheng had no choice but to put the matter aside for the time being.

The issues concerning the spatial passage now involved True Immortals, undoubtedly a realm far beyond his current reach; he could only understand a bit.

However, upon Geng Yiyang's reporting to the Immortal Alliance, the Alliance would naturally handle it appropriately, so Chu Zheng need not worry himself.

Without further disturbing Geng Yiyang, Chu Zheng quickly departed; in the recent days, he had no intention of going out again, focusing on advancing his own cultivation.

After Condensing the Soul, he would be able to venture into the Cangyun Secret Realm previously mentioned by Geng Yiyang, to glimpse the ancient grandeur of the Cangyun Realm, hoping in the Secret Realm to find the path forward for the Qi Refining Lineage.

He lacked no Immortal Ascension Methods on his person, but the Method of Qi Refining he possessed was only Sixth Order.

The Great Circulatory Qi Guideline only covers cultivation methods up to the Returning to Void Realm; integration and even Becoming an Immortal were still far beyond his reach.

Watching Chu Zheng leave, Geng Yiyang immediately took out a Jade Scroll and began to write.

In the message to the Immortal Alliance, he deliberately omitted some details about Chu Zheng, attributing the discovery of the spatial passage anomaly to himself.

If the Immortal Alliance took this matter seriously, surely a True Immortal, if not an Immortal Venerable, would come to Cangyun. Geng Yiyang did not wish for the Immortal Alliance to focus too much attention on Chu Zheng.

The more scrutiny from the Immortal Alliance, the greater the risk of exposure for Chu Zheng; less is sometimes more.

...

...

After leaving Geng Yiyang's secluded residence, Chu Zheng arranged some minor matters, then collected several bottles of Spirit Pills that enhance the Power of the Spirit and Soul from the Alchemy Hall, and quickly began his retreat.

Condensing the Soul posed no difficulty for him at the moment, but the challenge was how to use the Five Elements Immortal Root to condense the Yin Yang Spirit. Explore more adventures at mvl
