Chapter 433: Heavenly Judge, Leaving the Realm_2
A cloud-patterned soft couch emerged from the void, catching his fallen body.
The Moonlight Immortal Ancestor's gaze lowered, staring at the sleeping Chu Zheng, slowly closing his eyelids.
...
...
Chu Zheng groggily opened his eyes, feeling as though he was lying on clouds, his limbs and bones entirely relaxed.
After a few breaths, he came to his senses, stood up, and felt that the fatigue from before had completely vanished, his divine soul seemed baptized, and his entire body at ease.
He glanced at the soft couch beside him and bowed:
"Thank you, Immortal Ancestor."
"Your sleep wasn't long, only half a month."
The Moonlight Immortal Ancestor slowly opened his eyes and waved his hand:
"No need for more words. Go, I have been monitoring appropriate Great Realms for you. Proceed to the Boundary, I'll send a message if there's news."
"Thank you, Immortal Ancestor."
Chu Zheng bowed, said no more, and directly turned to leave.
Speaking more words of gratitude is useless; better to find ways to enhance his strength, perhaps in the future he can help the Moonlight Immortal Ancestor pass that tribulation.
The sudden notice from the Moonlight Immortal Ancestor of the impending limit truly caught Chu Zheng off guard, causing him to think deeply.
If the Heart Burning Corridor can indeed predict the future, then based on Song Lingxue's bone age as seen in the Illusion Realm, there might only be four or five hundred years left, during which major changes might also occur, coinciding with the Moonlight Immortal Ancestor's limit.
Looking at it this way, in four or five hundred years, the Dao War might really begin. He must become an Immortal Emperor or a Primordial Golden Immortal in these times.
The pressure is as heavy as a mountain.
This trip to the Great Immortal Realm was quite fruitful, the Heavenly Fortune baptism obtained at the Immortal Crossing Ceremony ranks first.
Such plentiful Heavenly Fortune left on him alone makes him almost like a 'Son of Heaven' born only in the Ancient Times, accelerating his cultivation even faster than before.
And the Immortal Destiny Sky Lamp, containing an Immortal Seed and imbued with temporal Immortal Fortune, can only rank second.
Though it's a genuine Ancestor Weapon, with a Chaos Fire Seed as its wick that can burn and refine all Laws, and even allows him to control parts of the Immortal Dao Heavenly Destiny and manifest Divine Skills, with his current cultivation he cannot wield it, only watch it.
However, after leaving the Great Immortal Realm, he might attempt to extract some Immortal Qi from it for cultivation.
As for the Longevity Immortal Fruit, gifted alongside the Immortal Destiny Sky Lamp, it is also a significant gain, enabling him to advance immediately to the Perfect Realm of Immortal King once he reaches Great Immortal Venerable Perfection.
Bringing all these items out alive from the Great Immortal Realm is thanks to the favor of the Moonlight Immortal Ancestor.
Chu Zheng pondered, left the Fairy Palace along the way, and went straight outside the Great Immortal Realm.
"Daoist friend, stay."
"Daoist Chu, don't rush, please come over for a gathering!"
"Chu Xianzun, hold on, our clan leader invites you!"
Before leaving the Great Immortal Realm, messages came one after another, from various clans waiting outside the Fairy Palace.
Chu Zheng had no desire to engage, wasting time, and turned a deaf ear, tearing open the void, within a few breaths, he left the Great Immortal Realm.
After a short while, he stepped into the Star Domain Gate, heading straight for the Boundary.
As for the plans afterward, he dutifully followed the Moonlight Immortal Ancestor's orders, first hiding at the Boundary for a while, watching the winds and clouds change quietly.
On the journey, Chu Zheng directed his consciousness to where his avatar in the Chaos Sea resided.
This avatar, having hid in the geocenter of a Great Realm during the upheaval in the Chaos Sea, remains undiscovered.
Following the Moonlight Immortal Ancestor's instructions, this avatar cannot be retrieved short term, requiring other arrangements.
Wasting it there seems a shame.
...
...
Since the Martial Hall's siege on Daoist Ancestor Zheng Chu, over a thousand years have passed in the Chaos Sea.
Over these thousand years, the Martial Hall has promoted the Martial Path across various Great Realms, selecting new blood with exceptional talent, with some having grown in strength.
Outstanding individuals among them have been brought to the Great Universe for training by the Martial Hall.
Chu Zheng quietly left the geocenter, found a corpse at the Mass Burial Mound, disguised himself as a Martial Cultivator, and began walking the world openly.
Idle time was wasted anyway, without the need to face tribulation, the Armor Demon needed only some caution, no need to show his previous face, and easily hidden his identity.
In over a thousand years, the Chaos Sea had already stabilized, no longer as dangerous as before.
The use of this avatar is mainly to see if he can find any trace of the Heaven Burial Palace.
According to the Sun-Eroding Cry, the Heaven Burial Palace lies somewhere in the Chaos Sea, without much else for the avatar, it might be worth exploring a bit.
As the burial place of the Master of Heavenly Fortune, though the Heaven Burial Palace now lacks Heavenly Fortune, he might discover other secrets with the Spiritual Eye.
Zheng Chu once found a thread of clue in the Heaven Burial Palace, uncovering traces of the Reincarnation Road.
Involving reincarnation proves the Heaven Burial Palace's worth.
The Chaos Sea is immense and entirely lacks clues, finding the Heaven Burial Palace isn't easy.
However, under the hundredfold time flux, the avatar has plenty of time to slowly search.
...
...
Through the Boundary Gate, it took less than half a month for Chu Zheng to reach the Cosmic Edge, arriving again at the Boundary.
The ancient bronze-colored giant boundary, like a slumbering dragon, stretched across the Star Dome, separating the Yin Yang realms.
Hundreds of years later, returning to this place, Chu Zheng felt differently. Previously he walked cautiously, now he could traverse here freely.
After a glance, Chu Zheng proceeded to where the Immortal Alliance stationed at the Heaven Pass.
There weren't many people in the Heaven Pass, only one Immortal Venerable, dozens of True Immortal, and several cultivators from the Immortal Tribulation Secret Realm, mending arrays and maintaining Heaven Pass operational.
Without concealing his vitality, Chu Zheng directly stepped into the Heaven Pass.
The Immortal Venerable guarding inside sensed it and summoned a group of True Immortal to welcome him.
"Chief of Punishment Department Inspector Hao Qing, greets the Heavenly Judge."
Hao Qing appeared nearly forty, wearing Immortal Armor, with the Monitoring Jade Order on his waist.
The Hao surname isn't among the Thirteen Clans, according to messages from the Spiritual Eye, Hao Qing hails from a typical Great Realm, likely hasn't visited the Great Immortal Realm.
Judging from the degree of evil qi corrosion on his Immortal Body, Hao Qing had lingered at this Cosmic Edge for quite some time.
"Thank you all for your hard work."
Chu Zheng swiftly assessed the crowd, forming a number in his heart.
With the Boundary repaired, even if the Vast Universe occasionally opens some passageways, the evil demons that can cross have limited cultivation and battle strength, at most reaching Eighth Order.
The strength arranged by the Immortal Alliance here isn't much, merely a few Immortal Venerables, the rest being True Immortals transferred from various realms, even those few Immortal Venerables are primarily mixed-blooded Immortal Descendants.
Most experts from the Punishment Authority now stationed near the Chaos Sea and Martial Domain intersecting starry sky barrier to prevent changes, leaving the defenses around the Boundary somewhat relaxed.
With his Great Immortal Venerable cultivation now, Chu Zheng had become the strongest force for the Immortal Alliance near the Boundary.
Chu Zheng raised his hand, emitting beams of Immortal Light, removing all evil qi from within these Immortal Path cultivators, merely a simple act for him.
Hao Qing was stunned for a long while, performed a grand salute:
"Thank you Heavenly Judge for the assistance, we are deeply grateful!"
"Thank you, Heavenly Judge."
The multitude of True Immortals followed suit in giving salutations, their expressions full of gratitude, this essentially extended their lives, allowing them to live longer at this Cosmic Edge.
Hao Qing glanced around, dismissed the crowd, then transmitted:
'The Master has sent word, whatever the Heavenly Judge wishes to do, I will completely cooperate.'
Evidently, the Moonlight Immortal Ancestor had arranged everything for Chu Zheng, making the Boundary his place of refuge.
Chu Zheng took a deep breath, gazed afar at the Boundary, his eyes slightly narrowed, and softly spoke:
"I want to cross the Boundary, to enter the Universe."
