Chapter 169: Chapter 124: Martial Barrier Gathers, Taixuan Holy Son_2
```
Judging from the arrangement, it should be the ancestral mausoleum of the Danxia Country's royal family.
Chu Zheng opened his Spiritual Eye and looked around for a moment, somewhat surprised to find the aura of more than twenty Martial Path Grandmasters in this place.
Indeed, there seemed no need for such an elaborate defense with so many people guarding a single mausoleum; there must be hidden reasons behind it.
Chu Zheng used the Invisibility Technique and slowly walked into an underground palace.
This was also a tomb, but it was temporarily empty, with no one having claimed it as their resting place.
Walking along the tomb's path for a while, Chu Zheng then saw a vast square before him.
The square stretched for hundreds of yards, furnished with stone piles and iron men and other equipment used for practicing martial arts. Many teenagers were training in martial arts there.
Chu Zheng's gaze settled on a middle-aged man whose cultivation in the martial path was extremely profound. The Inner Strength in his Dantian showed signs of Condensing Qi to Aura, and in his lifetime, he had a high hope of taking that one crucial step.
This level of cultivation would be difficult to achieve without the practice methods that came after reaching the Yuan Aura Realm.
Chu Zheng roughly speculated in his mind that the royal family of Danxia Country, just like Li Mingzhou before, had obviously discovered the extraordinariness of the Xuan Tian Martial Barrier and was secretly cultivating a large number of Martial Cultivators in the dark.
In the Cangyun Realm, such actions were undoubtedly self-destructive, with exposure simply being a matter of time.
Glancing at the older teenagers training in the square, Chu Zheng let out a light sigh, grateful that he was not too late. Had the Immortal Alliance noticed, not a chicken or dog would have been left in this place.
Following the guidance of the Heavenly Divination Technique, Chu Zheng quickly found the Fragment of the Xuan Tian Martial Barrier.
As he had expected, the Fragment was heavily protected by six Great Grandmasters, enshrined on a divine platform.
Chu Zheng walked slowly to the front of the divine platform and after examining it, he came to a realization.
The content recorded on this Fragment of the barrier was quite complete, including a First Level of cultivating mental method. No wonder it could nurture so many Martial Path Grandmasters.
After pondering briefly, Chu Zheng swept the Fragment into his sleeve and then left behind a letter as a warning to the Danxia royal family to stop their perilous actions.
The number of copies the Danxia royal family had made of this Fragment and to how many people they had distributed them – he really didn't have the energy to track them all down.
If Danxia Country wished to continue down this path of doom, Chu Zheng was powerless to stop it.
That was all he could do. Time was already scarce for his own use, without any spare energy to waste on this matter.
Having acquired the Fragment, Chu Zheng did not stay long and swiftly left.
Not even a quarter of an hour after his departure, a commotion arose throughout the entire underground palace.

The letter was quickly presented to the innermost parts of the Imperial Palace, before the Imperial Throne.
The Son of Heaven of Danxia Country opened the envelope. After quickly scanning the contents, his expression shifted from rage to shock, his complexion turning from red to pale. In just a few breaths, his forehead was covered in cold sweat.
A quarter of an hour later, he secretly summoned several of the strongest Grandmasters to start retrieving the distributed copies of the rubbing.
The young men who had just begun their training were brought into the Imperial Palace to be taught from the beginning, and the underground palace was completely buried.
While underground currents surged in Danxia Country, Chu Zheng had already traveled far to the northwest, entering an ancient forest.
The last Fragment of the Xuan Tian Martial Barrier had fallen into a deep and secluded stream, hidden from the sun for many years. Despite this, the Fragment was still smooth as new, with no signs of decay.
[Xuan Tian Martial Barrier (Sixth Order): The lifelong insights of a Martial God, containing the practices of the Xuan Tian Scripture, as well as the Fourteen Martial Dao Divine Abilities, imbued with the aura of the Immortal Path. It was once shattered by a True Immortal's own hands into six pieces, all of which are now in your possession, ready to be repaired (0/50).]
With all Fragments gathered, the count for repairing the barrier rapidly decreased to fifty, which meant it could be fully restored in just ten days.
The complete barrier contained extensive knowledge, including the entire "Xuan Tian Scripture," the nine Divine Skills of "Xuan Tian Seal," the Slaughter Blood Descending Dragon Technique, and also the Xuan Yue Slash, Seven Steps Aura, Xuanwu True Body, and the Spirit Gathering Spell – four Martial Dao Divine Abilities.
Chu Zheng glanced at it and, without a detailed study, proceeded directly towards the Taixuan Holy Land.
These things could wait to be slowly studied along the way.
...
...
As he continued his journey, more than a month passed in the blink of an eye.
Chu Zheng traveled southward. The terrain sloped downward, and the surrounding temperature rose noticeably.
By the time he neared the Taixuan Holy Land, the temperature was unbearably hot for ordinary people. If one had not lived there for a long time, it would be impossible to endure.
```
Having possessed the Taixuan Authentic Transmission for so long, it was Chu Zheng's first time embarking on the road to the Taixuan Holy Land.
Without the Divine Calculation Technique, he might have had to follow Song Lingxue's scent to find his way, and perhaps even ask for directions along the journey.
In the midst of a desolate desert, Chu Zheng paused briefly, took out a fragment of a mirror, then extended its panel and used up all of today's repair attempts.
[Sun Wheel Mirror (Fifth Order/Incomplete): A superior divine weapon, with an imbedded void for storage, capable of accumulating Essence of the Great Sun, and condensing the Great Sun True Flame to burn foes. It was shattered in a single hit, its space broken, and spiritual energy completely lost, repairable (500/500)]
After using up all of today's repair attempts, this top quality ancient treasure, which had been shattered for who knows how many tens of thousands of years, shone with dazzling brilliance once more in Chu Zheng's hands.
The Xuan Tian Martial Barrier had already been completely repaired by him in the half month prior, and the Xuan Tian Scripture's cultivation methods had also fallen into his hands.
The repair of the Sun Wheel Mirror was finally complete as well.
Under the Spiritual Eye, Chu Zheng could clearly see thin strands of Great Sun Essence Qi, falling from the void, absorbed by the Sun Wheel Mirror.
Within the Sun Wheel Mirror, there was a space that could not store items and could only be used to condense the Great Sun True Flame.
The Great Sun True Flame, among the ranks of divine fires, was already of the Sixth Order, and moving beyond, it would be considered an Immortal Flame.
To be able to condense a divine fire of such a level, in the realm of top quality magical treasures, the Sun Wheel Mirror belonged to the highest tier, second only to Tongxuan Spiritual Treasures.
After considering for a moment, Chu Zheng stored the Sun Wheel Mirror within his body, then started to continuously circulate his Circuit of Qi, absorbing the Great Sun Essence Qi into his body and then injecting it all into the mirror.
After making comparisons, a smile appeared on Chu Zheng's face, just as he had anticipated, this method was much faster than relying on the mirror to absorb it by itself.
In just a few days, he would obtain his first strand of Great Sun True Flame.
After several more days of travel, Chu Zheng finally saw the boundaries of the Taixuan Holy Land.
A magnificent, giant city emerged before his eyes.
"Taixuan City..."
Chu Zheng glanced over it and did not enter the city, continuing forward until he soon arrived at the entrance to the Taixuan Holy Land.
The entrance to the Holy Land was a canyon with towering, steep cliffs on both sides.
At the mouth of the valley, there was a colossal black and red boulder, over forty zhang tall, with a surface smooth as a mirror, like a piece of black jade, swallowing all the brilliance of the Great Sun in the sky.
In recent times, as the influence of Taixuan grew stronger, even without making inquiries, Chu Zheng had heard quite a few things about the Taixuan Holy Land.
This huge rock was known as the Sacred Shadow Stone, used specifically to test the talents of newcomers.
"You are..."
Seeing Chu Zheng, the Great Mysterious Elder stationed to guard the place changed his expression slightly, unsure for a moment.
In the entire Taixuan Holy Land, apart from Fang Jiong, who had died under the Lihuo Spear, the only one who had had contact with Chu Zheng was Geng Yiyang.
Chu Zheng glanced at the Great Mysterious Elder guarding the entrance of the valley, slowly stepped forward, and placed his hand on the Sacred Shadow Stone.
He was also curious about where his current talents stood in the eyes of the Immortal Path.
Hum——
The sky was engulfed in surging red spiritual light that could be seen from a hundred thousand li around, all witnessing the pillar of light suddenly rising from the direction of Taixuan.
"A red dragon soaring into the clouds, its shadow illuminating a hundred thousand li..."
The nearby Great Mysterious Elder was taken aback and then his complexion suddenly turned red, his voice shaking with disbelief:
"Superior Immortal Bone?!"
The next instant, another figure appeared at the mouth of the valley, garbed in a grey robe, thin and tall.
Geng Yiyang, whom he had not seen for a long time, stood not far away, also in shock, his dull eyes filled with astonishment.
Chu Zheng slowly withdrew his hand and bowed in greeting:
"Holy Master, I hope you've been well."
He stared at Chu Zheng for a long time, the craggy bark-like face slowly forming a smile, then turned around and let out a shout that shook the red clouds thousands of li above the firmament:
"Welcome the Saint Heir back to the sect!!"
