Cangmang Mountain Range, Divine Peak towering into the clouds, mountains ovepping, dense hot mist steaming into clouds, enveloping the void for tens of thousands of miles.


    The Taixuan Holy Land had be much livelierpared to before, with many peaks now dotted with figures in red robes.


    The newly issued disciples'' uniforms were bright and fiery red, moving through the mountains like roaming stars. Under the brilliance of the sun, they reflected a resplendent glow like that of crimson agate.


    These fresh forces undoubtedly injected a vibrant vitality into thisnd that had been dead for ten thousand years.


    Atop the main peak, within the Crimson Crystal Grand Hall.


    Geng Yiyang was sitting on the floor, his brow furrowed as he looked at the light screen not far in front of him.


    The scenes returning from the Immortal Martial Battlefield did not bring him joy.


    Chu Zheng''s battle had indeed been ster, annihting more than two hundred Soul Condensing Monks, stunning the world.


    However, the sword formation he used did not seem like a method from the Immortal Sects. The Five Elements Formation exists in the Immortal Path too. It requires setting up in advance, and one needs Five Elements Spiritual Objects to suppress the formation''s eyes or pre-refined Formation gs to deploy and execute.


    However, the sword array Chu Zheng used this time, with himself as the Central Pce, suppressing the Five Elements, and driving the Power of the Five Elements alone, was too incredible for a Cultivator in the Mid Entry Dao Realm.


    He wasn''t the only one to notice this, especially now that there was a Demi Immortal from the Immortal Tribtion Realm in the Southern Region.


    Geng Yiyang dissolved the light screen in front of him with a soft sigh. Having lived as long as he had, with the gates of the underworld nearly within sight, he had long since be indifferent to worldly matters.


    However, it would truly be a pity if someone as outstanding as Chu Zheng were to die so young.


    He wasn''t even neen this year, and his path of cultivation had just begun.


    ...


    ...


    Immortal Martial Battlefield.


    Chu Zheng had just finished collecting all the Storage Bags and had not yet had the chance to inventory his gains when an additional figure appeared not far in front of him.


    About thirty years old, tall, with wless features, dressed in a in robe with his hair bound by a wooden crown, he exuded a very gentle aura.


    Chu Zheng hadn''t noticed any signs of this person''s arrival, whose strength already far exceeded what he could handle.


    Yet at this moment, Chu Zheng''s gaze remained utterly steady, his calmness chilling.


    The Tribtion Qi by his side showed not the slightest ripple, which already proved that this person bore him no malice.


    "Chu Zheng, greetings, senior," Chu Zheng said, stabilizing his emotions and bowing respectfully.


    "You do have some courage. Ie from the Immortal Alliance. You may call me Immortal Ji,"


    Ji Yuyan gave him a nce and pulled a Spirit Paper out of the void, speaking slowly:


    "Extend your hand."


    Chu Zheng did as instructed and extended his hand.


    Immortal Ji ced the Spirit Paper in Chu Zheng''s palm, and in just a moment, the paper depicted a full moon divided into five parts—red, ck, white, yellow, and blue, each upying a section.


    "Five Elements Immortal Bones, five Dao Foundations... No wonder you could activate the Five Elements Sword Formation,"


    A flicker of surprise passed through Ji Yuyan''s eyes as he withdrew his hand, and the Spirit Paper fell to the ground with the wind, burning into ashes.


    As he spoke, Chu Zheng couldn''t help but feel startled; just with one piece of paper, this man had seen right through him.


    "Where did you learn that sword formation?" Ji Yuyan asked again.


    "From ancient books, Immortal Ji," Chu Zheng replied.


    "It is indeed a remarkable method. It''s sufficient until you face your Immortal Tribtion,"


    Ji Yuyan nodded and added, "After the uing Great Tournament of Ten Thousand Sects, I will petition the Immortal Alliance to admit you into the Minor Immortal Realm."


    He harbored no doubts, for it wasmonce for worlds like the Cangyun Realm to retain some ancient texts passed down from ancient times.


    Hearing this, Chu Zheng asked with some confusion, "Immortal Ji... what is the Minor Immortal Realm?"


    "The Minor Immortal Realm is a transit ce where the cultivation environment surpasses the Cangyun Realm by a hundredfold, specifically designed for young prodigies like you to cultivate,"


    "A barren ce like the Cangyun Realm has a huge energy gappared to the Great Immortal Realm where the Immortal Alliance is located. Rushing into it directly could cause your Immortal Bones to not withstand the surge of Spiritual Energy, potentially causing them to explode on the spot,"


    Chu Zheng''s gaze flickered thoughtfully; given the spiritual energy concentration in the Minor Immortal Realm alone, that of the Great Immortal Realm must be astoundingly high.


    Ji Yuyan was clearly very familiar with this process, evidently not doing this for the first time.


    Worlds like the Cangyun Realm are numerous across the universe, certainly not just a few.


    "Whether it''s the sword array or the Divine Skills of the Taoist School, you can practice them, but if ites to Qi Techniques, do not learn them. I see you haven''t yet formed a Golden Core; whether you practice or not, you still have an exit route. If you do practice, it''s better to abandon it early,"


    Before Chu Zheng could ponder further, Ji Yuyan spoke again, sternly advising:


    "This technique seeks to evade the Heavenly Tribtion by directly bing an Immortal, arrogantly acting against the heavens. Qi Cultivators of the Taoist School who advanced in cultivation rarely meet a good end, with the vast majority dying from disastrous cmities; that''s one reason,"


    "Secondly, after a Qi Cultivator has fully matured, there''s no clear path of cultivation left, only umting cultivation by enduring tribtions.


    The Ancestral Dao in the Thirty-Six Heavens of the Dao Realm, a Daluo Golden Immortal called the Eternal through Countless Tribtions, stole lifespan for himself from the heavens, but in the entire lineage of the Taoist School, only this one person emerged, much inferior to the systematic progression of the Immortal Path,"


    "With the quality of your Five Elements Immortal Bones, you rank quite well within the entire Immortal Alliance; though inferior to those born with the Yin Yang Immortal Bone, when you cross the Five Elements Great Tribtion, it will be as if treading on t ground,"


    "After enduring the Five Tribtions and umting your foundation, crossing the Immortal Sects to enter the True Immortal Realm will make you a Heavenly Immortal of the Five Tribtions, which is akin to ascending to the heavens in one step. In the future, you may even have the opportunity to be an Immortal Venerable, or even ascend to rule as a sovereign,"
