Chapter 247: Immortal Alliance Envoy
After some consideration, Chu Zheng set the next Sect Gate opening time to two years later.
By then, the fervor of the Great Tournament of Ten Thousand Sects would gradually fade away, and the situation would tend to stabilize.
The envoy from the Immortal Alliance who was to come for him would likely arrive during that time.
However, with the previous words from the Dongsheng Demon Immortal, he couldn't wait for this person to come for him, but must find another way out and leave Cangyun.
He had already obtained the coordinates of the Ten Thousand Realms Battlefield from Nie Longhu; as long as he could get close to that vicinity, there should be some way.
Having planned his next steps, Chu Zheng emerged from seclusion and made contact with many disciples of the Taixuan Holy Land.
After casually chatting a few words, he discovered many problems.
During this period, he had spent most of his time in seclusion, slightly neglecting the education of the Taixuan disciples under him.
Now, as he came to his senses, he shockingly found that among the Taixuan disciples who came to participate in the Great Tournament of Ten Thousand Sects, a large part had already become embroiled in significant entanglements with many powers.
After all, they were just a group of kids, in their youthful years, with unsettled dispositions, truly hard to resist many temptations.
Chu Zheng didn't care about the olive branches thrown by those various powers, but for these inexperienced disciples, it was truly hard to refuse.
This situation was not an isolated case; a generation of disciples, not yet solidified, was already being torn apart by hands stretched out from all directions.
At this moment, Chu Zheng somewhat understood why Geng Yiyang, when he had first opened the Sect Gate, decided to close the mountain for a hundred years, allowing only entry and no exit, and not permitting these disciples to enter the world too early.
With their short period in cultivation and insufficient resolve, they were often easily swayed by a few words of flattery, losing sense of direction.
Seeing this, Chu Zheng could only decisively take immediate action, inviting two Great Mysterious Elders to send all the disciples back inside the Holy Land.
Having not shown himself for a long time, his bond with these disciples was weak, but Fu Quanliang was different; these disciples were mostly brought up by him, like brothers and fathers to them.
The words of Fu Quanliang would be somewhat heeded by these disciples, and it hadn't yet developed to an uncontrollable degree, there was still room for manoeuvre.
This naturally caused quite a stir in Wanlong City, with various powers feeling uneasy and continuously speculating about Chu Zheng's intentions.
After sending away many disciples, Chu Zheng once again used his Shape-Shifting Divine Power, transformed into Bai Zhixiao's appearance, left Wanlong City, and headed straight for the Tai Xu Holy Land.
Tai Xu Holy Land, having inherited from ancient times, has one of the longest traditions in the Cangyun Realm today.
Inside the Holy Land, hidden are endless treasures; the Tai Xu Treasure Repository was his true aim, as long as he could plunder enough cultivation resources, he could improve his cultivation without any hesitation.
If he could successfully empty the Tai Xu Holy Land's treasury, it would be the biggest haul in his history, with immeasurable value.
...
...
Actually, Chu Zheng hadn't dismissed the idea of just staying in Tai Xu, watching the situation unfold while disguised as Bai Zhixiao.
But now, with no one in charge of Cangyun Realm's Heavenly Dao, it was the best time to leave this realm.
Staying here, even if he could barely evade a disaster by relying on Bai Zhixiao's guise, he definitely wouldn't escape the sharp eyes of the Immortal Alliance's powerhouses who would later control Cangyun's Heavenly Dao.
The power of the Heavenly Dao could clearly sense changes in Heavenly Fate, thereby pinpointing Chu Zheng's presence, just like Zhao Tingxian had done before.
If it hadn't been for Zhao Tingxian sparing him several times and even helping to conceal him, he would never have lived to this day.
Utilizing the extreme speed of the Star-shatter Shuttle, it only took a day for Chu Zheng to arrive outside the Sect Gate of Tai Xu Holy Land.
Most of Tai Xu Holy Land's true inheritances and few top powerhouses were inside Wanlong City, leaving the gates weakly guarded.
As the lord of Tai Xu Holy Land, Bai Zhixiao naturally had ways to pass through the great formation; relying on his fragmented memories, Chu Zheng quickly crossed the Sect Protection Grand Formation unscathed.
The silvery moon hung high in the sky, revisiting the old grounds stirred something inexplicably in Chu Zheng's heart, momentarily feeling an odd reluctance, clearly stemming from Bai Zhixiao's residual soul memory.
Looking at the Tai Xu River winding through the void, Chu Zheng felt a bit of vigilance. Absorbing the soul fragment's memories could be influenced, which wasn't a small matter, and he needed to be more cautious in the future.
Collecting his thoughts, Chu Zheng quietly began to approach his destination.
After a brief moment, he arrived at the treasure repository of Tai Xu Holy Land.
The treasury was located on a mountainside, enveloped in thick auspicious qi, with a water dragon circling over the gate, its black scales moving vividly.
Chu Zheng took a deep breath, looked at the True Dragon overhead, and began to perform hand seals according to Bai Zhixiao's memory.
Boom—
As one seal after another was formed, the gates slowly opened, and the first thing that came into view was countless wooden racks. Stay updated via empire
The racks closest to the door held stacks of wooden boxes, each containing a miniature universe—Storage Magic Treasures filled with items like Spirit Stones, mineral veins, or some peculiar immortal fruits.
Chu Zheng stepped into the treasury, his pupils flickering with spiritual light, the overwhelming information momentarily disordered his thoughts, and the scene before him felt like a dream, somewhat unreal.
The Tai Xu Treasure Repository was divided into three levels.
The first level held a mixed reserve, representing the foundation of a Holy Land, unimaginable for ordinary people.
The second level held many Magic Treasures and weapons, along with some semi-finished products like embryo implements and Spirit Pills still in nourishment, valued differently in different eyes.
