Qi Cultivation Starting from the Repair Panel

The True Immortal who summoned Song Lingqing was not the one who currently presides over the Cangyun Heavenly Way.

Instead, he came from an Immortal Descendant Family, named Gongyi Zezi, with a cultivation base that had reached Eight Tribulations Perfection, just one step away from becoming a Nine Tribulations True Immortal.@@novelbin@@

The meeting process was far calmer than Song Lingqing had imagined.

At first glance, Gongyi Zezi saw nothing more than a young woman in her early twenties, her appearance cold and detached, dressed in wide-sleeved purple celestial robes, her hair fastened with a jade hairpin, no sense of oppression emanating from her.

Gongyi Zezi's attitude toward Song Lingqing was very gentle, and he did not trouble her too much, only asking a few questions about Chu Zheng.

Song Lingqing knew very little about Chu Zheng's current situation and naturally couldn't provide much of an answer.

Upon learning that Chu Zheng had become a True Immortal, she was stunned for a long time before coming back to her senses, feeling a surge of surreal absurdity.

Although Chu Zheng's cultivation was already at Tongxuan when he left Cangyun, crossing two major realms in just over a decade to enter the threshold of True Immortals still subverted her cognition.

A True Immortal was already the pinnacle that most Immortal Path Cultivators aspired to, with realms above it unheard of by the ordinary living creatures of the Great Realms.

Her current cultivation was merely in the late stages of the Soul Condensing Realm, still some distance from reaching the Divine Infant Realm, yet she had started on the Immortal Path much earlier than Chu Zheng.

By her age, among ordinary Cultivators, her speed of cultivation was considered fast, even for someone with a Superior Immortal Bone. However, she still had no comparison to the monstrous Chu Zheng.

After regaining her composure, Song Lingqing's thoughts did not dwell on Chu Zheng for long—his previously demonstrated defiance of the heavens was more than enough, having gone from a household servant to the master of a Holy Land in just a few years.

Opportunities to have close communication with a True Immortal of the Immortal Alliance were rare; she could not miss this chance.

Gongyi Zezi was frank about Song Lingqing's many questions, answering them all truthfully.

From Gongyi Zezi's words, Song Lingqing learned for the first time of the term "Immortal Descendant."

The True Immortal Noble Family Song Clan had an astonishing origin; they had once been an Immortal Descendant Family, residing within Cangyun. However, due to some reason, the ancestral blood of the Song Clan's Immortal Descendants had dried up.

Now, the Song Clan was no different from the many living creatures of the Cangyun Realm, all trapped by bloodline constraints, with no hope of ever reaching the realm of Immortal Venerable in their lifetimes.

Hence, Cangyun had come to be known as the Burial Realm.

A Great Realm that had long been buried held no future and would one day vanish completely; for a Superior Immortal Bone to be born in such a realm was actually a misfortune.

Although being at True Immortal Perfection was already a remarkable feat in the universe, without entering the realm of Immortal Venerable, one could never reach the upper echelons of the Immortal Alliance, ultimately struggling to make a name for themselves.

After her Immortal Bone was shattered, Song Lingqing had tasted the warmth and coldness of the world; her intuition had become increasingly sharp. When the topic of Immortal Descendants was brought up, she could sense the faint pity in Gongyi Zezi's eyes.

It was like looking at a stray dog, struggling with all its might through thorny mud—no matter how strong it's physique or how dry its fur once it reaches shore, it was still just a stray dog.

Song Lingqing's breathing gradually deepened, her palms unconsciously tightening. First, it was Immortal Bone, and now this so-called Immortal Descendant bloodline—it had become another mountain obstructing the path of her future cultivation.

"Although the Cangyun bloodline has constraints, it's not without precedent to break free," Gongyi Zezi said, his eyes flickering slightly with implied meaning.

"Shang Cangyun and Zhao Tingxian both emerged from the Cangyun Realm; Zhao Tingxian entered the realm of Immortal Venerable long ago, and Shang Cangyun even touched the forbidden domain, becoming an Immortal Monarch."

"Perhaps Chu Zheng is the third person from the Cangyun Realm to break free from these shackles; you should be able to find some enlightenment from him."

Clearly, the wine was just a pretext for the underlying message.

Upon hearing this, Song Lingqing quickly calmed down, suppressing the swirling thoughts behind her eyes, and bowed in gratitude:

"Thank you for your guidance, senior."

She did not continue to chat with Gongyi Zezi and soon departed.

On her way back, she had already sorted out her thoughts.

Analyzing Gongyi Zezi's words, the Immortal Alliance was still uncertain about whether Chu Zheng could break free from the shackles of his bloodline and become a True Immortal.

The Immortal Alliance's interest in Chu Zheng was evidently intense. Therefore, the key point must be more than just Chu Zheng's cultivation talent; perhaps there were many hidden secrets that she was not aware of.

These issues were probably only clear to Chu Zheng himself now.

At least one thing Gongyi Zezi said was not wrong: with examples like Zhao Tingxian and even Shang Cangyun before her, her path may not have come to an end.

...

The Great Immortal Realm was the core of the Immortal Domain, and the news of Chu Zheng becoming an Immortal spread through the sea of stars, both openly and covertly, at an astonishing speed. After not too long, the Martial Hall received the relevant information.

"My husband... has become an Immortal?"

Hearing from Xie Xingzhong that Chu Zheng had ascended to the Immortal List, Song Lingxue's expression was somewhat dazed.

She had been cultivating with all her might, originally thinking that the gap between her and Chu Zheng would gradually narrow, but now, the gap seemed to have increased invisibly and even more significantly.

"How did you come to know this news?"

Regaining her composure, Song Lingxue's expression changed abruptly. The fact that even the Martial Hall had learned of this astonishing news meant that, even if it was not common knowledge, it was probably not far off.

For Chu Zheng, this might not be good news. The next move of the Immortal Alliance was completely unpredictable.

Moreover, it was likely that Chu Zheng was not yet aware of this situation.

"Now that you are a True Inheritor of the Martial Hall and have even been summoned by the Hall Master, you should not encounter any major trouble. However, the Immortal Alliance is already in turmoil, with many forces having sent people to Cangyun to trace Chu Zheng's whereabouts."

Xie Xingzhong paced back and forth, feeling the situation was tricky: "Chu Zheng's talent is so conspicuous, and your relationship with Chu Zheng may also hardly be concealed from those who are determined to investigate. The Immortal Alliance may send someone to inquire soon."

"I am well aware, thank you for delivering this message, senior."

Song Lingxue's expression was composed. She quickly saw Xie Xingzhong off and then took out the Spirit Communication Jade Scroll with a flick of her wrist, recorded the Immortal List and the Immortal Alliance's various reactions, and transmitted it all to Chu Zheng.

After sending the message, she looked at the Jade Scroll in her hand, a sharp glint in her eyes. Power surged through her palm, and she shattered it into powder in an instant.

This item was a potential risk if kept on her person. If it were carelessly exposed, the Immortal Alliance could use it to pinpoint Chu Zheng's location directly.

Even if destroying the Jade Scroll meant that her only connection to Chu Zheng was completely severed, and they were disconnected in the vast sea of stars, she absolutely could not take this risk.

Calming her slightly disordered emotions, Song Lingxue took a deep breath, already formulating a plan in her mind.

Originally she was pondering her next move, but now there was no need to consider it.

To the Ten Thousand Realms Battlefield.

There, she would be closest to Chu Zheng and closest to the Immortal Alliance.
