Capítulo 873: Chapter 547: Cosmic Edge, Great Realm of the Universe (Ten Thousand Words) (Part 4) Her Dao Heart was as steadfast as ancient ice, unwavering in the slightest. Before she even finished speaking, the surging Divine Soul within her Sea of Consciousness suddenly trembled, forcibly expelling and driving away that wisp of black fog trying to take root. The wisp of black fog seemed extremely unwilling, emitting a silent shriek, but ultimately, it could not resist and was forcibly expelled from Xue Qing’s body, growing even dimmer, and with a swoosh, merged into the vast starry sky, disappearing in the blink of an eye. Xue Qing hovered in place, carefully inspecting her insides for a long time, and only after confirming there were no remaining traces did she slowly breathe a sigh of relief, though the vigilance in her eyes did not diminish in the slightest. The so-called Heavenly Destiny True Spirit from before, she only believed three parts of. If it truly could assist in gathering Heavenly Fate, it seemed too weak, and the sinister aura hidden within its presence truly made her uncomfortable. Even if it were true, she could not justify casually ending lives to supplement it for such a reason. There was something peculiar about this matter. Xue Qing frowned slightly, taking a mental note of it, intending to ask Martial Ancestor about it when an opportunity arose in the future. He probably knew more. … Thɪs chapter is updated by 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝✶𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖✶𝕟𝕖𝕥 Beyond the distant starlight, at the Cosmic Edge. This place was entirely different from the prosperity of other realms and the flourishing of the Immortal Court. Stars were sparse, the Spiritual Energy thin and violent, frequently swept by destructive starry storms. The spatial structure also became unstable, often revealing pitch-black space rifts, stretching across the starry sky like scars, emitting an unsettling aura. Chu Zheng, along with Zheng Ping and Chu An, tore through the starry sky, traversing the endless Star Sea directly from the Near Immortal Realm, arriving near this desolate and empty region, choosing a secluded Great Realm to quietly infiltrate. This Great Realm was called the Spiritual Remains Realm, a name that conveyed an ominous and desolate vibe. The realm wasn’t small, but the environment was extremely harsh, the land mostly barren red deserts and shattered volcanic rock, with sparse and bizarre vegetation. The sky was perpetually shrouded in a gray dust haze, intertwined with the cold starlight from the distant Star Sea, forming an eerie interplay of light and shadow. The reason for choosing this place was because this Great Realm contained numerous unstable space channels leading to the Vast Universe. These channels varied in size, resembling ulcers on the realm’s body, unable to heal, constantly emitting alien Evil Qi. As a result, this Great Realm suffered from frequent assaults and instability, with Evil Demons from the Vast Universe or living creatures corrupted by Evil Qi frequently bursting through the channels, ravaging the land. This was a place Chu Zheng specifically chose, where chaos and danger coexisted, never lacking sudden battles and opportunities for trials. For him and Chu An, who needed to continually hone themselves in battle and test their learnings, it held certain benefits. The environment of the Spiritual Remains Realm was extremely harsh, the sky above was a tapestry of eternal grayness and cold starlight, intermixed with Evil Qi and the thin Spiritual Energy, exuding a sense of burning and corrosion when inhaled. Without the Buffer Boundaries of later generations to cushion and conceal, Great Realms directly connected to the Vast Universe , exposed to threats, were still numerous in the vast Cosmic Edge today. These space channels leading to the Vast Universe were like wounds left after the collision of two massive worlds, unable to heal, perpetually oozing ichor. In these Great Realms, besides some of the native living creatures struggling to survive in such harsh conditions, some having undergone certain adaptive and tough mutations, the Ten Great Ancient Clans also periodically rotated some personnel to station here, both to monitor the channels and as a form of training for the younger generation within the clans. Of course, the mortality rate of this training was astonishingly high. Even Ancient Ancestors took turns standing guard; previously at the Heaven Burial Ceremony, Chu Zheng had seen this. The aura here was mixed and chaotic, with intense spatial fluctuations, directly connected to the Vast Universe. The intricate structure of nature’s spiritual energy provided perfect cover for Chu Zheng and his companions, who needed to conceal their tracks. Relatively speaking, it was the most suitable place for hiding and training. After gaining a foothold in the Spiritual Remains Realm, Chu Zheng also preliminarily verified his previous thoughts. After obtaining that third of the Heavenly Power Fragment from the Heaven Burial Palace, his understanding of the Laws of the universe reached a new height. At this moment, he could clearly perceive that the Evil Qi emanating from those space channels, which would be like a toxic plague to ordinary living creatures, no longer posed any threat to him. He could even draw energy from it. Simply put, whether it was the prosperous Great Universe or the demon-infested Vast Universe, at its core, they were all part of this vast cosmos, different facets of the same entity, indistinguishable from each other. The so-called Evil Qi was merely another form, and having grasped a portion of Heaven’s Mandate, he had already transcended the shackles of that energy attribute. After stabilizing his position here, Chu Zheng finally had time to settle down and meticulously assess all the gains from that brutal battle in the Heaven Burial Palace. Besides the most crucial Heavenly Power Fragment, all the various spoils and loot needed to be sorted and absorbed. Among those items, many were linked to the Ancient Clans, and Chu Zheng could not release any of their auras; otherwise, the Ancient Ancestors would instantly detect and locate him, so he needed to exercise caution. The Vast Universe now also served as one of his escape routes. In the blink of an eye, time streamed forward like a star river, silently passing, and over three hundred years had already gone by.
