Chapter 153 Sky Crack
Ji Xiao's life or death is insignificant in Chu Zheng's eyes.
Her only value was to serve as a bargaining chip to threaten He Yu and others, but now the bargaining chip has expired.
Killing Ji Xiao at this moment has no meaning for Chu Zheng.
On the contrary, if Ji Xiao is still alive, there may be a good show in the future.
After escaping from the desperate situation, Ji Xiao's breathing became increasingly rapid, and for a moment she felt like her heart was beating like a drum.
The immortal way values life, and if she can get a way to survive, how can she be willing to die.
At this moment, she felt a sense of gratitude to Chu Zheng for the first time in her life. According to what she said before, Chu Zheng could have killed her to vent his anger and take revenge on the Taixu Holy Land, but now he let her go.
Thinking of this, Ji Xiao silently swallowed the curse that she wanted to blurt out before she died. Her eyes were complicated, and she stopped talking. She began to measure time bit by bit in her heart.
She had never felt the traces of the passage of time so clearly as she did at this moment.
Without the rising and setting of the sun and the setting of the moon, this day became particularly long in Ji Xiao's eyes. Her mind was tense, and she dared not move at all, let alone leave rashly.
She was worried that any movement might stimulate Chu Zheng and prompt him to change his mind.
Chu Zheng sat cross-legged in the void, combing the mana and primordial energy in his body, and a faint spiritual light came from his eyebrows.
During this period of time, he did not relax his practice. His spiritual consciousness rose again. He had already stepped into the peak of the early stage of the Condensation Realm, and was only one step away from the middle stage of the Condensation Realm.
In the remaining day or so, he could not explore more areas, so it was better to practice quietly.
The spiritual energy of the heaven and earth here is much more abundant than that of the outside world. It would be much easier to break through the bottleneck of cultivation here.
In a blink of an eye, several hours passed.
The spiritual light between Chu Zheng's eyebrows became more and more intense, and soon attracted the attention of Ji Xiao beside him.
She saw at a glance that Chu Zheng had sunk into a deep state of cultivation at this moment, with a smooth breath and no defense.
At this moment, she was very confident that she could severely injure Chu Zheng with one blow.
For a moment, she was tempted, but the next moment, she still killed this idea.
This move was too risky, it was like gambling with her own life. If she failed, the chance of survival that finally appeared would be destroyed by her own hands.
Chu Zheng had already noticed the flash of murderous intent on Ji Xiao's body, but he didn't take it to heart. His spiritual power was strong enough to do two things at the same time, practicing while being alert to the surroundings.
Just now, as long as Ji Xiao made the slightest move, Chu Zheng would not hesitate to take out the Zhenxian mace, smash her sky spirit, and make her soul fly away.
In his eyes, everyone has only one chance to choose. If you choose the wrong way, you will only die.
After a while, a crisp sound suddenly came from Chu Zheng's body.
Ka——
In the blink of an eye, Chu Zheng's breath expanded a bit, breaking through the bottleneck and stepping into the middle stage of the Condensed Soul Realm. A spiritual light came out from his eyebrows and turned into a hazy figure standing in the void.
Chu Zheng turned around and looked at his body still sitting cross-legged in the same place, and an indescribable feeling rose in his heart.
The soul left the body, and the wind came from all directions. As the breeze blew, Chu Zheng felt comfortable all over. After breaking free from the constraints of the body, a strong sense of relaxation continued to surge from the depths of his soul, as if a heavy burden had been removed.
This feeling is dangerous for cultivators. Some cultivators will be greedy for this sense of relaxation and often wander in the sky.
However, the strength of the soul of a cultivator in the Condensed Soul Realm is far from enough to support the soul to leave the body for a long time and stay in the outside world.
Over time, the loss is the origin of the soul, which is difficult to make up for. It will greatly affect one's own practice and shake the foundation of cultivation.
As his immortal cultivation broke through, his soul power surged, and the Dao fetus in Chu Zheng's dantian suddenly expanded, taking a big step towards the middle stage of the Dao fetus realm.
However, because the flow of Yuan Qi slowed down in this world, he was still a little distance away from the middle stage of the Dao fetus.
Another breakthrough!
Looking at Chu Zheng's soul and the expanding Qi, Ji Xiao's pupils slightly opened, and a trace of horror appeared in her eyes involuntarily. The news that Chu Zheng entered the Condensed Soul was spread before she entered the Cangyun Secret Realm.
In just over three months, Chu Zheng's cultivation was promoted again and entered the middle stage of the Condensed Soul Realm.
This is really too terrifying.
The growth of the soul is completely different from the increase of mana. It takes a lot of energy to strengthen the soul bit by bit. No matter how talented one is, the speed of breaking through the realm in more than three months is really too exaggerated and unreasonable.
What made her feel even more horrified was Chu Zheng's soul strength. He had just entered the middle stage of the Condensed Soul Realm, and he was able to complete the soul leaving the body. It was really exaggerated.
She was a little tired doing it now, and she couldn't stay outside for too long, but Chu Zheng seemed to be able to do it with ease.
Only the Yanshen of Tianque Holy Land had such a strong soul in the middle stage of the Condensed Soul Realm, and it required extremely high talent.
After reacting, Ji Xiao silently lowered her head, and her heart was already in turmoil.
When Chu Zheng entered the Soul Condensation Realm, many people in the outside world speculated that when the Ten Thousand Sects Hidden Dragon Competition came, Chu Zheng might have the opportunity to enter the Divine Infant Realm and compete with Shang Zuling.
Now, in the short time she had been in contact with Chu Zheng, she had come up with a very terrifying guess in her heart.
It is very likely that Chu Zheng will completely surpass Shang Zuling in cultivation before the Ten Thousand Sects Hidden Dragon Competition, and come from behind to sweep his peers and become invincible.
This is a monster that has never appeared in the world.

More than 8 million miles away from the location where Chu Zheng and the others were.
Two beams of light fled quickly to the depths of the secret realm, one in front and one behind. They were as far away from the place that Chu Zheng had agreed to before as possible, dragging them to the Cangyun Secret Realm to squeeze them out.
He Yu took the lead, and following closely behind him was Yu Xianglong, the Taixu True Transmission, who was ranked 78th on the Hidden Dragon List and had reached the late stage of Soul Condensation.
Yu Xianglong looked a little hesitant at this moment:
"Brother He, Sister Ji..."
Leaving behind his fellow disciples who had been together for nearly a hundred years, he felt mixed emotions and could not help but feel guilty.
He Yu's speed did not slow down at all, and he spoke lightly:
"Let me ask you, if we arrive as promised, and Chu Zheng suddenly attacks and uses the Tongxuan Lingbao to kill us all, what should we do? Can you guarantee that he will keep his promise and let Sister Ji go?"
"This..."
After these words came out, Yu Xianglong was a little speechless. He also had many concerns about this.
It is really unwise to gamble with your own life on the character of an opponent.
"More than a hundred Holy Land Soul Condensation monks have died at the hands of Chu Zheng. Do you think this man is soft-hearted?"
He Yu shook his head slowly, his eyes cold: "Taixuan and Taixu are now irreconcilable. Giving all these gains to Chu Zheng is equivalent to fattening the enemy!"
"What's more, are you willing to hand over all the opportunities you have obtained to Chu Zheng? We only have this one chance in this lifetime to enter the Cangyun Secret Realm, and there will be no second time."
Yu Xianglong stopped talking and hurried on his way. Although most of the gains had been taken away by Chu Zheng, he still had some small gains in the past few days to make up for his own losses.
Now if he gives it away for nothing, he may even have to sacrifice his life. As long as he is not stupid, anyone knows how to choose.
"After losing Junior Sister Ji, what we have to do is to work harder to cultivate and avenge today's shame in the future."
He Yu said in a low voice, with a slightly cold tone: "Sooner or later, I will let Taixuan Holy Land pay back today's debt."

In the void, the breeze blew on my face, and the red glow reflected the world, illuminating a dusk scene.
On the earth, broken walls and ruins can be vaguely seen, all of which have been eroded by time. It seems that in an instant, the whole world was buried in ancient times.
In Cangyun today, no one remembers the people buried in this secret realm, not now, and not in the future.
Chu Zheng scanned the world inch by inch, with a somewhat complicated expression. In his previous life, he was also looking at the years through time. Every time he repaired a cultural relic and then brought up the deeds of the ancients, he would often be happy for a long time.
At this moment, he no longer had this feeling. The struggle between the orthodox sects was inseparable from the fighting and fighting. When he turned over the entire ancient history of the Cangyun Realm, all he could see was a sea of blood.
Counting the days, he had been in Cangyun for more than two years.
Chu Zheng subconsciously took out his diary and held the pen for a long time, wanting to write something, but he had no idea where to start, and finally had no choice but to put it away.
After a long pause, he took out the diary again and wrote
[In the third year of the new calendar, looking back at the past and the present, I can only sigh that time is like a knife. All the saints and sages of the past have been buried by time. Their honor and disgrace in life have become nothing. Only two or three people have left their names in the history books...]
When writing here, Chu Zheng paused for a moment, and then wrote again, writing in one go:
[One day, if my life is exhausted and my road is over, I hope I can get a chance to fight for my fame for all eternity. After endless eras, among billions of galaxies, there will still be people who know who I, Chu Zheng, am. Only in this way can I live a life worth living and be satisfied with my life.]
Chu Zheng put away the diary, stopped reading it, and rubbed his slightly swollen eyebrows.
After entering the stage of soul condensation, he felt more and more that his body and soul were not in harmony, like a large basin of water was forcibly poured into a palm-sized water bag, bulging, and from time to time, a feeling of suffocation would come from the depths of his soul.
After leaving the Cangyun Secret Realm, it was urgent to improve the strength of the physical body, otherwise the progress of cultivation would soon be hindered.
Buzz——
While Chu Zheng's thoughts were scattered, layers of fairy patterns appeared on the red sky, and a clear light fell and enveloped Chu Zheng's side.
A layer of fairy light swept over Chu Zheng and Ji Xiao, wrapping them up.
A familiar feeling of squeezing came into Chu Zheng's mind, and he relaxed his body and let the secret realm send him away.
…………
…………
After a long time, when Chu Zheng came back to his senses again, he was surrounded by a vast ocean.
Chu Zheng looked up at the sky, his eyes flashing with a light. He took a look at the sky and quickly determined his location.
His luck was good. He was not far from the South Region, still within a range of tens of millions of miles. Even if Geng Yiyang did not come to find him, he would be back to the South Region in ten days or half a month.
Before Chu Zheng could think about it, the sky suddenly split open, and a surging divine fire gushed out.
"Go back to Taixuan quickly!"
Geng Yiyang strode out with a very solemn expression. His expression, which had always been calm, was filled with depression.
His breathing was a little rapid, and there was blood at the corners of his mouth. It was obvious that he had consumed a lot of vitality in order to get here as soon as possible.
"What happened?"
Seeing Geng Yiyang so nervous, Chu Zheng's heart skipped a beat and he tensed up: "Why are you in such a hurry?"
"The sky cracked. We'll tell you the details on the way."
A stream of fire surged out from Geng Yiyang's palm, enveloping Chu Zheng, tearing through the void, and rushing towards Taixuan.
…………
…………
After tens of millions of miles, with Geng Yiyang rushing madly at all costs, Chu Zheng saw the endless red divine peaks before it got dark.
"Cough..."
After landing, Geng Yiyang coughed lightly. Before he could speak, his expression suddenly changed. He looked at Chu Zheng, his tone was more solemn than ever before:
"The Immortal Alliance has summoned you. You wait for me in the sect. Don't leave even a step! I'll be back soon."
Chu Zheng nodded as he was told, with some worry in his eyes: "Take care of yourself."
Geng Yiyang was originally a piece of rotten wood. His life span was coming to an end. Such a big fight would only reduce his remaining life span.
Geng Yiyang waved his hand, not wanting to say more. He turned around and turned into a ball of divine fire, merging into the void.
After a while, he came to a divine palace above the nine heavens.
Inside the palace, several great saints, including elders from all the major holy places who had entered the divine transformation realm, were all present, even including people from the Eastern Domain family and the Western Domain Immortal Sect.
In the corner, there were five figures standing, their eyes were full of demonic energy, all of them were great demons with divine cultivation.
This time, there were far more people or demons than the previous meeting of the Five Saints.
"According to my calculations, this space channel that suddenly appeared will be completely opened in ten days at most. It is difficult for the various fronts of the Immortal Alliance to draw true immortals here in a short period of time. Now we can only rely on ourselves."
"Here, on behalf of the Immortal Alliance, I will pass down the decree, please listen."
Ji Yuyan glanced at the high-level officials of the Holy Land, his face was no longer smiling, and he was as cold as ice for thousands of years:
"All cultivators above the Divine Infant Realm should prepare for battle, all Tongxuan Lingbao and above in the sect, including the sect-guarding immortal treasures of the major holy lands, should be awakened, and anyone who hides them will be punished according to the first criminal law of the Immortal Alliance for the crime of betraying the alliance."
The crime of betraying the alliance should be punished by killing the clan, exterminating the family, and cutting off the reincarnation.
Not only will this life be fruitless, but there will be no afterlife, and reincarnation and cultivation will become a luxury.
"Can Shang Zuling..."
Yuanling Saint Lord spoke in a deep voice, trying to get some preferential treatment for Shang Zuling.
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Ji Yuyan:
"I just said that all cultivators above the Divine Infant Realm are preparing for battle, including her."
The coldness on his face became even more severe: "If I can't stand this battle, I will be buried in the clouds, let alone her."
Yuanling Saint Lord said no more, bowed his head and agreed.
Ji Yuyan's expression was calm, and he spoke in a deep voice:
"You all have three days to prepare. After three days, assemble in front of the space channel. Those who retreat in the face of battle, shirk responsibility and delay will be killed immediately!"
