Qi Cultivation Starting from the Repair Panel

Chapter 197: Chapter 146: Cangyun Secret Realm, Ruined Temple

Chu Zheng stepped into Soul Condensing for an instant, his ranking on the Hidden Dragon List soared by more than two hundred, pushing into the top hundred.

From the very beginning rank of over seven thousand four hundred, to within the top hundred, it had taken Chu Zheng only one year.

This time Chu Zheng's cultivation breakthrough, however, did not cause much of a sensation among the various Holy Lands.

The speed of this sudden emergence had even started to become somewhat customary to the major Holy Lands.

The miracles Chu Zheng created were so numerous that some had even begun to speculate whether Chu Zheng could step into Divine Infant before the Great Tournament of Ten Thousand Sects commenced.

Shang Zuling was unattainably high, leaving all peers far behind, yet Chu Zheng seemed to have a chance to challenge this mountain towering over the heads of all the prodigies in the Southern Region.

With Shang Zuling's current pace of cultivation, she was very likely to try stepping into Divine Transformation before turning one hundred, a speed undoubtedly terrifyingly fast.

Since Chu Zheng had entered the Hidden Dragon List, his speed of cultivation had been much faster than Shang Zuling's. If he could step into Divine Infant before the Great Tournament of Ten Thousand Sects, he might just snatch the chance to contend for the top ranking.

Now, apart from the Primordial Spirit Holy Land, many other major Holy Lands had already started to hope Chu Zheng could win the Great Tournament of Ten Thousand Sects.

The champion of the Great Tournament of Ten Thousand Sects would be absorbed into the Immortal Alliance, and if Chu Zheng joined the Immortal Alliance, then Taixuan Holy Land's situation would remain unchanged.

As long as they endured until Geng Yiyang and his generation of old folks were all buried, Taixuan Holy Land would inevitably be eradicated from the Southern Region, keeping the region still divided among four powers.

The landscape of the Southern Region, high in the west and low in the north, in the far northeast, a vast cluster of islands spread out, connecting to the Golden Moon Sea. Further north lay the Demon Race's paradise, the Northern Region, also known as 'Demon Origin'.

The setting sun to the west, the golden divine light scattered between the islands in a straight path connecting to the horizon, dazzling like a brilliant thoroughfare.

Waves surged from the depths, shattered by the islands close to the coast into pieces, rolling up glittering waves. By the time they reached the boundless sandy beach, only a gentle breeze remained.

In the depths, massive shadows swam, occasionally causing monstrous waves to explode skywards, spilling over the vacuum and casting rainbows of seven colors.

A space passage suddenly opened, and two figures stepped out leisurely.

Gazing at the vast sea in the distance, feeling the sea breeze brushing against his face, Chu Zheng took a deep breath, his Spirit Soul feeling translucent for a moment with a somewhat bewildered expression.

Just in the Cangyun Realm, he had seen many landscapes never before seen; for the entire universe, the Cangyun Realm was nothing more than a speck of dust. His journey was still very long.

Gazing at the vast ocean, a trace of reminiscence flashed in Geng Yiyang's eyes, seemingly recalling the past.

"Before ancient times, Demon Origin and the Southern Region were one territory, often at war. Later, a Demon Immortal emerged among the Demon Race and joined the Immortal Alliance, and thus the two races ceased their hostilities. The middle region of almost a million miles between the Southern Region and Demon Origin was directly submerged by a True Immortal, marking a new boundary by the sea."

At this, Geng Yiyang shook his head slightly, his eyes slightly dim, "But in reality, the covert strife between the two races never ceased."

"Over ten thousand years ago, an extraterritorial passage opened in the Southern Region. Fortunately, it did not connect to a land of extraterritorial demons but to an unknown Great Realm full of different exotic beings, some of whom shared ancestry with the Demon Race."

"That bloody battle cost the Southern Region's sects dearly, many warriors of the Immortal Tribulation Realm fell. There were rumors that these intruding beings had the covert support of the Demon Race and were intimately familiar with the sects' situations as if they had prescient abilities."

"At that time, Brother Ye happened to have a close relationship with the Demon King You Ziyun. Taixuan naturally faced quite some suspicion; to prove their innocence, Brother Ye took You Ziyun and tirelessly flipped through various battlefields without rest."

"Later, one day, during a crucial battle, Brother Ye, along with many companions including You Ziyun, suddenly disappeared without a trace, leaving our Human Race utterly defeated."

"Although the Immortal Alliance covered for us afterward, sparing us from a calamitous disaster, the rumors against Taixuan had already surged like a thunderclap. To avoid becoming the target of public criticism, Taixuan had no choice but to close its mountain and isolate itself from the world."

"Had it not been for the fact that Taixuan had just closed its mountain when a True Immortal emerged from our ranks, Taixuan might not even have been granted the title of Holy Land."

Reflecting on the past, Geng Yiyang's expression revealed a hint of melancholy, he solemnly said:

"If not for you, I would still not know that Brother Ye met his silent end in that Small World."

Chu Zheng's appearance had changed too many things. Without Chu Zheng, even at the cost of mutual annihilation, he would have made Tai Xu Holy Land pay a price they couldn't afford to settle a grievance spanning thousands of years before his life ended.

Even if it meant the downfall of Taixuan Holy Land afterward.

But now, he couldn't give up too easily, because Chu Zheng had given him hope for the continuation of Taixuan's legacy.

Chu Zheng fell silent for a moment, looking around with some confusion, "Is the Cangyun Secret Realm right here?"

"Right here."

Geng Yiyang nodded slightly, extending his withered palm, a surge of Divine Fire burst forth from his palm, instantly covering the vast sky for a thousand li:

"Back then, Shang Cangyun discovered anomalies here, stepped into the Cangyun Secret Realm, and received the inheritance from an Immortal King, thereafter soaring to the heavens."

Layers of Immortal Patterns emerged, like a dense web woven tightly, emitting a faint Immortal Light.

A flicker of Spiritual Light flashed in Chu Zheng's eyes, and soon a prompt came from his pane.
