Chapter 418: Immortal Venerable, Great Immortal Realm
Regarding the years spent in the Chaos Sea, the cultivation time of Song Lingxue is still less than three thousand years.
A Martial Emperor of three thousand years, even considering the Ancient Times, when the Martial Path was at its peak, could not possibly have such a prodigy.
This speed of cultivation can no longer be explained by talent.
If he were not also a martial cultivator, Wan Wenfeng would even suspect Song Lingxue was the true Ancestral Dao, possessing that twenty-five percent of Heaven's Fortune for protection.
Otherwise, it's truly hard to explain the speed of her cultivation progress.
Although Chu Zheng's current cultivation speed is fast, it is due to the Qi-refining Technique and cannot be judged by common logic, and he has yet to enter the Space-time Domain, so the future speed of cultivation is still unknown.
Suppressing the shock in his heart, Wan Wenfeng took a deep breath and couldn't help but sigh softly again.
However... this should be Song Lingxue's end.
Yan Feng, the former Martial Ancestor, once evaluated Song Lingxue's fate, saying she had no chance of entering the Ancestral Realm. Few people are aware of this, only a small portion of the Martial Hall's upper echelon knows.
No one would doubt Yan Feng's judgment.
This living fossil, who has survived since the Ancient Times, has such understanding of the Space-time Law that it has reached the Transformation Realm, and past and future are all within his sight.
He can see many futures that ordinary people cannot, and knows numerous ancient secrets.
If not limited by longevity, Yan Feng would still have the opportunity to lead the Martial Path to an unprecedented peak in the Dao War.
Unfortunately, time is merciless.
As a descendant of the Erosion Sun Clan, Wan Wenfeng is aware of many secrets that ordinary people can't touch.
In the Ancient Times, Yan Feng's master was expected to succeed as the Martial Ancestor, and his master had close relations with the Ancestral Dao.
However, due to the upheaval of Heaven's Fate at that time, the Heavenly Destiny True Spirit of the Martial Path chose the Ancient Martial Ancestor for self-preservation, thus leading to numerous subsequent conflicts.
If Yan Feng's master had succeeded to the Martial Ancestor's position, the Martial Path might not have clashed so much with the Ancestral Dao, and the current Great Universe's structure would be different, a different scenario altogether.
After sorting through his thoughts, Wan Wenfeng turned and entered the Execution Department, sending out the image of Chu Zheng.
As Ji Zhouyin had previously speculated, during the Cosmic Edge period, many Martial Saints had seen Chu Zheng's true face.
As soon as the image was sent out, many Martial Saints reported successively.
Heavenly Punishment was not in the Martial Hall, Fu Pinglan was closed off for healing, and all messages were intercepted by Wan Wenfeng.
Even though the current relationship between the Immortal Alliance and the Martial Hall is fiery, Wan Wenfeng is uncertain whether this information about Chu Zheng will reach the Immortal Alliance.
At least for the short term, the situation can still maintain surface stability.
As for what will happen to Chu Zheng, it is not within his consideration, in the grand scheme of Dao War, he has already done his utmost by giving a message to Song Lingxue.
...
...
Immortal Domain.
Sword Lion Star Domain, Cangyun Realm.
Within the Grotto Heaven World, Chu Zheng closed his eyes, rapidly assimilating the inheritance within the Ancestor Blood.
The Immortal Dao Technique he had previously cultivated mainly relied on the Taixuan Divine Fire Scripture, but now it had long been unable to keep up with his cultivation progress, requiring replacement.
And within the Immortal Ancestor's inheritance, there happened to be such an Immortal Scripture.
"Mystic Sky Immortal Scroll."
This Immortal Scripture, like the Eternal Calamity Treasure Record he obtained earlier, is ranked as Tenth Order, with cultivation methods that directly lead to Ancestral Realm, fully sufficient.
Chu Zheng's mind slightly stirred, and a scroll of Purple Jade Heavenly Book manifested deep in his consciousness, the cover imprinted with four Ancient Immortal Seal Characters 'Mystic Sky Immortal Scroll'.
With a thought from Chu Zheng, the Purple Jade Heavenly Book slowly unfolded, accompanied by majestic immortal sounds revealing true techniques, each character an Ancient Immortal seal script, akin to the sun, moon, and stars, scattered throughout the Sea of Consciousness, faintly fitting the image of All Heaven Stars.
'Dao gives birth to Mystic Sky, Immortal Sect manifests...'
'Immortal Root hidden within Purple Palace, heart sword cuts mortal ties, cloud sea gathers pure Qi, riding the wind to knock on Jade Mystic...'
Chu Zheng glanced through the opening chapter, comprehended most of it smoothly, without feeling any obscurity, even surprisingly simple.
Perhaps it's due to being an internalized inheritance within the Ancestor Blood, not needing additional effort to research.
The Mystic Sky Immortal Scroll demands high foundational requirements for cultivators, requiring the condensation of Immortal Root, otherwise even Ninth Layer Celestial Foundation is useless, but Chu Zheng's foundation is sufficiently robust, thus this limitation to him is negligible.
The cultivation methods between Immortal Dao and Qi Refining Lineage are very similar, especially in later stages, apart from significant differences in Divine Secret Skills, merely cultivating and circulating Qi bears almost no difference.
The greatest disparity should be in the description of Heaven's Fate.
In the Mystic Sky Immortal Scroll, at the crucial point of Ancestral Realm ascension, it explicitly mentions the need for half of Heaven's Fortune and provides some information about Heavenly Fate.
Within the Taoist Orthodoxy, the flow of Heaven's Fortune is allocated by the Ancestral Dao, determining the allocation of names for Ancestral Realm living creatures under the orthodoxy.
And the Ancestral Dao is chosen by the Heavenly Destiny True Spirit, not a position that living creatures can vie for through means.
Only those acknowledged by Immortal Fortune are true Immortal Ancestors, and the same applies to Martial Ancestors, requiring recognition from the Martial Arts Heavenly Fortune.
In other words, an Ancestral Dao is a representative of the Heavenly Destiny True Spirit of Taoist Orthodoxy, and some matters may not be autonomously controlled.
The information about Heavenly Fate is not mentioned in the Eternal Calamity Treasure Record, it only explains the methods of tribulation, the key to advancing Daluo Golden Immortal, and clashes with contemporary cultivation methods.
