Qi Cultivation Starting from the Repair Panel

The sound of a fierce howl echoed across the four corners of heaven and earth.

Qi Yun, with a severely injured body, joined forces with two recently arrived Ten Thousand Realms Cultivators, relentlessly pursuing the figure of Chu Zheng ahead.

Heavenly Fire connected into patches, following Chu Zheng across the sky, leaving behind a crimson trail of fire at the Sky Summit, stretching for a million miles.

Not far away, new Qi signals emerged; having received Qi Yun's urgent messaging, nearby Ten Thousand Realms Cultivators were all striving to reach this location as swiftly as possible.

The only piece of good news was that this area was still in the Lower Heavenly Domain, where generally only living creatures of about the Eighth Order Third Layer would be active; the Middle Layer Heavenly Domain was far away, and even if the message was received, it would take a long time to arrive here.

The massive Fire Element Primordial Qi continued to pour endlessly into his body, causing an uncontrollable surge in his Qi Refinement Cultivation. In just a moment, he had been pushed to Dao Integration Realm Perfection.

In the Dao Integration Realm, each minor realm transition required enduring thirty-three minor tribulations. Chu Zheng had only recently reached the middle stage of Dao Integration Realm, and was still sixty-six tribulations away from Dao Integration Realm Perfection.

At this moment, driven by the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, these sixty-six tribulations were bypassed in one step; however, the Tribulation Qi did not decrease at all, accumulating fully in this one tribulation.

The Tribulation Qi grew heavier, rapidly evolving toward a Death Tribulation.

A Death Tribulation did not necessarily mean a lack of vitality, but compared to ordinary tribulations, the difficulty of transforming the tribulation would explode more than tenfold; finding the gate of life would be hard.

At this moment, under Chu Zheng's sensing, the vitality that was originally in the southeast direction was rapidly weakening.

As the tribulation grew higher, the places that could have been gates of life were also beginning to falter.

Even though Chu Zheng wanted to restrain the growth of his Qi Refinement Cultivation, the crazy influx of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi into his body gave him no chance to refuse.

Hum—

As he worried about the tribulation, a low chant sounded from the void not far ahead. A brilliant sword light sliced through the sky, directly targeting the Primordial Spirit at his forehead.

The sword's edge was frigid, its coldness piercing to the bone.

A Ten Thousand Realms Cultivator arrived on his sword, nearly forty years of age, with a bluish complexion, his long beard hanging down to his chest, clad in a gray cloth robe, his expression grave.

Chu Zheng gave him a casual glance, his eyes slightly cold. This man's cultivation level was not far from Qi Yun's, but his bone age was many times greater, practicing the Qi Cultivation Path, harvesting Yang from the sky and Yin from the earth, transforming it into Golden Liquid Jade Liquid, nourishing the body's key nodes, and prolonging life; he was not a Body Refining Practitioner.

Watching the sword light before him, Chu Zheng sidestepped, allowing the sword light's aftermath to tear through his shoulder and neck.

Boom!

In an instant, the Law of Heaven and Earth operated again, his foot shattering a thousand-mile range of mountains and rivers, causing the sky to suddenly darken, and the heavens and earth to split.

A massive hand that obscured the sun and sky rose, and with a reach, he grasped the man in his palm.

Pfft—

The crisp sound of muscle and bones shattering erupted, blood spewing through the fingers into the high sky, stirring up waves of Spiritual Light, and in just a breath, an Eighth Order Second Layer Cultivator, along with his Divine Soul, was utterly annihilated.

The terrifying Dharma Body, wrapped in Heavenly Fire, stood between heaven and earth, like a god or a demon.@@novelbin@@

The moment this Ten Thousand Realms Cultivator died, Luck Stealing Skill autonomously activated, an invisible Heavenly Fate flowing into Chu Zheng's body.

This was the first Eighth Order Cultivator to die at Chu Zheng's hands, and also the first time he clearly felt the flow of Heavenly Fate in his own body.

But at this moment, he had no time to savor it, as just these few breaths of pause allowed the group of Ten Thousand Realms Cultivators chasing him to catch up.

As time progressed, the number of Eighth Order Cultivators chasing him, including Qi Yun, had already grown to seven, their cultivation strengths varying.

He could not be entangled here any longer; he needed to break free quickly. Chu Zheng surveyed his surroundings, his gaze locking onto the weakest one, and just as he was about to break through, a sudden ringing of a bell resounded in the sky.

Clang——

Chu Zheng's gaze scattered, his Divine Soul violently shook, and his Dharma Body showed signs of collapsing.

The sound of chanting echoed through the void, a golden avenue stretched forth from the void, and a bulky figure holding a Golden Bell strode forward, about thirty years old, bare-chested, his physique as robust as a dragon, draped in a robe adorned with dense scriptures, with a Grotto Heaven emerging behind him, where the faint shadow of an ancient temple could be seen.

[Heavenly Vow Arhat (Eighth Order): A Buddhist Practitioner, bone age 9513, has cultivated Three-layered Arhat Golden Body, impervious to external techniques, all evils easily repelled.]

Chu Zheng's expression tightened, and his heart sank.

The gap between the Eighth Order Third Layer and the Eighth Order Second Layer was another huge divide, and even with his Law of Heaven and Earth, it would be difficult for him to suppress this Heavenly Vow Arhat.

Furthermore, that Golden Bell he held, a Wonderous Treasure targeting the Divine Soul, meant that his chances of victory were not very high, especially considering the other cultivators from the Ten Thousand Realms, making it really challenging to escape.

"Heavenly Vow Arhat!"

Qi Yun burst out with overwhelming joy and urged repeatedly, "Please, Arhat, make your move quickly and capture this boy to prevent any changes!"

They were already very close to the Immortal Alliance Camp, and any further delay could easily expose their tracks.

Before he had finished speaking, several streaks of Immortal Light flew out from the distant void and stopped not far away.

Leading them was a woman in a long dress, looking just over twenty, with skin fairer than snow, eyebrows like distant mountain willows, and eyes like autumn waters containing stars, transcending the mundane.

Following her were four True Immortals, whose Cultivations ranged from First to Second Tribulation.

[Fu Zhixuan (Eighth Order): Bone age 1845, Cultivation at Second Tribulation True Immortal Perfection, Immortal Alliance Inspector, direct disciple of the Ice Flower Great Immortal Emperor, specialized in the Immortal Emperor's Scripture "Thundering Water Spirit Scripture," Pure-blooded Immortal Descendant, has overcome two major tribulations, possessing a Grotto Heaven of Five Elements yet still with imperfections.]

A disciple of the Great Immortal Emperor, a Pure-blooded Immortal Descendant, an Immortal Alliance Inspector.

Any one of these titles was already exceedingly rare and exceptional.

Chu Zheng felt even heavier at heart, now facing enemies on both sides, the hopes of successfully escaping today seemed slim.

However, the Immortal Alliance and the Ten Thousand Realms were locked in combat; perhaps he could find a slim chance amidst the chaos…

Not far away, Fu Zhixuan suddenly noticed the fluctuations of Immortal Power coming from Chu Zheng and her expression changed dramatically as she called out loudly, "Are you Chu Zheng?!"

As the name Chu Zheng was mentioned, the expressions of the cultivators from the Ten Thousand Realms also changed, and even the Heavenly Vow Arhat's calm demeanor vanished as he widened his eyes.

Chu Zheng's fame had already spread throughout the Ten Thousand Realms.

A True Immortal at the age of forty-two! Not a second such case could be found even in ancient records.

As soon as she spoke, Fu Zhixuan affirmed her guess; a cultivator of the Immortal Path who also practiced Qi Techniques, it must be correct.

Seeing the Heavenly Fire enveloping Chu Zheng, a sense of indescribable shock surged in her eyes.

To think that Chu Zheng had become a True Immortal less than a year ago, and had already amassed enough foundation to transcend the Fire Tribulation, what astonishing potential!

She glanced at the Ten Thousand Realms cultivators closely following behind Chu Zheng, her gaze becoming piercing:

"You go first! We will hold them off for a while, head to the Immortal Alliance Camp, declare your identity, and you will surely receive aid, go quickly!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Zheng was almost stunned for a moment; several True Immortals whom he had never met were actually willing to risk their lives for him, a scenario he had never even dreamed of.

Before he could speak, Fu Zhixuan had already risen and stepped forward, summoning an ice-blue battle flag and forcibly inserting themselves into the battle formation, positioning Chu Zheng behind them:

"You go ahead, I will cover your retreat!"
