Chapter 203: Chapter 150: The Spiritual Treasure Chooses Its Master

Under the crimson firmament, the Jade Umbrella glowed with a gentle light, suspended in mid-air.

For a Tongxuan Spiritual Treasure, ascending to an Immortal Treasure was undoubtedly a tremendous temptation.

This was no different from promising a cultivator the chance to become an immortal.

As soon as Chu Zheng's voice fell, all the Tai Xu True Transmission's expressions drastically changed.

In today's Southern Region, aside from Shang Zuling, no one else had the confidence to match Chu Zheng in talent.

Under the fearful gazes of the Tai Xu True Transmission, the Jade Umbrella above their heads swayed lightly; without much hesitation, it slowly drifted towards Chu Zheng.

Seeing this, Chu Zheng couldn't help but curve the corners of his mouth upward, knowing that communication would save countless troubles.

As the Jade Umbrella drew near, its detailed information flooded into Chu Zheng's mind.

[Flowing Cloud Umbrella (Sixth Order): Birthed over 784,000 years ago by the hands of True Lord of Flowing Clouds, later sealed by a cultivator of the Immortal Tribulation Realm, preserved till today, possesses potential for ascension (detailed).]

[Detailed Information: Mainly made from Spiritual Communicating Jade, carries the 'Soul Calming' Divine Skill, exerts strong suppressive force on the Divine Soul, its top is inlaid with an Ethereal Crystal, serves storage purposes.]

Within a few moments as the information flooded in, the Flowing Cloud Umbrella had already approached close by, and a ray of spiritual light swept across Chu Zheng's entire body.

Clearly, the umbrella didn't fully trust Chu Zheng's words.

Soon, the spiritual light dispersed. Once its verification was complete, a ray of spiritual light surged once more from the Flowing Cloud Umbrella and entered Chu Zheng's crown.

A moment later, Chu Zheng felt a faint connection, the Flowing Cloud Umbrella had recognized him as its master.

"Master."

A slightly ethereal voice arose in Chu Zheng's mind, carrying respect.

Spiritual Treasures did not have the complex minds of humans; they were beings created by humans. Once they chose a master, they wouldn't harbor thoughts of betraying their master until his demise.

After recognizing its master, Chu Zheng gained a clearer understanding of the Flowing Cloud Umbrella's capabilities.

Its combat power wasn't as strong as the Lihuo Spear, but it was still an insurmountable mountain to any cultivator below the Tongxuan, Soul Calming upon opening, a guaranteed kill upon strike. Experience more on M V L

The smile on Chu Zheng's face was now irrepressible. He gently stroked the Jade Umbrella and after a moment, finally lifted his head to look towards the Tai Xu Sect individuals not far away.

He quickly found their information from the Hidden Dragon List; all of them were prodigies listed on the list. The man leading them had reached the Perfection of the Soul Condensing Realm and ranked seventeenth, named He Yu.

"Master, these people released me from a dark prison, they have shown me kindness. Can we let them go?"

The Flowing Cloud Umbrella pleaded, but its tone was not firm. Even if Chu Zheng decided to kill them now, it wouldn't mind and would even take action itself.

Its former master was dead, and now Chu Zheng was its newly acknowledged master, which held the utmost importance to it.

Concepts of moral honor and disgrace did not exist for it; all its feelings were based on Chu Zheng's perspective.

These people posed no threat to Chu Zheng at all, not now nor in the future, given the vast disparity in talent. Letting them go would do no harm.

In response to the Flowing Cloud Umbrella's request, Chu Zheng did not refuse. Having effortlessly obtained a Tongxuan Spiritual Treasure, he was in an excellent mood. He waved at the group:

"Leave behind all your possessions, and I can spare your lives."

The Tai Xu True Transmittees looked at each other; after a moment, reluctantly, they removed their various Storage Magic Treasures, took out a jade pendant, and handed it over to Chu Zheng through the air.

This jade pendant, like the one Geng Yiyang had given to Chu Zheng before, had no significant utility other than serving a locational purpose.

Compared to their lives, these external belongings were truly insignificant.

Even before Chu Zheng had reached Soul Condensing Realm Perfection, he had managed to defeat the encirclement of several Holy Lands with just his sword array, relying on his own power. Now that he had stepped into the Soul Condensing Realm, he was truly beyond comparison.

Moreover, now that the Flowing Cloud Umbrella had been seized by Chu Zheng, they stood no chance at all. It was already a stroke of luck that they could save their lives.

Shortly after, all the belongings of the Tai Xu True Transmittees, including their Storage Magic Treasures, were taken by Chu Zheng despite them wearing their vestment robes.

"Chu... Saint Heir, could you release Junior Sister Ji?" He Yu took a deep breath, pointing at Ji Xiao still suspended in mid-air.

Chu Zheng glanced at Ji Xiao and did not respond to He Yu's question, but instead countered, "When did you enter the Secret Realm?"

"The same day as you."

After He Yu replied and saw the smile suddenly appearing on Chu Zheng's face, a chill ran through his heart, a bad premonition forming.

"Then there are twenty days left."

Chu Zheng calculated briefly and said slowly, "After nineteen days, I will wait here for you. At that time, hand over everything you've obtained in the Secret Realm, and I will return the person to you. Then, we will leave the Secret Realm together."

Several searching together would undoubtedly be much more efficient than him alone; the Flowing Cloud Umbrella was an unexpected gain, and perhaps these individuals could still bring him some pleasant surprises.

Indeed!

Shameless villain!!

All of them looked displeased and couldn't help but curse in their hearts.

Without giving them time to ponder how to respond, Chu Zheng then suppressed the smile on his face and spoke in a stern voice again:

"Remember, all of you must come here. Don't try any tricks. I'm not accustomed to giving people a second chance. Missing even one person, I'll take her life."

The group shuddered slightly; even during this brief encounter, they had genuinely experienced the terrifying aspects of Chu Zheng. His thoughts were meticulous, and his actions were decisively ruthless. He did not seem like a cultivator who was under twenty years old and had just entered the Immortal Path two years ago.
