Qi Cultivation Starting from the Repair Panel

The path of Incense Fire Divine was always an inseparable part of Chu Zheng.

His progress in Immortal Path Cultivation had been incredibly swift, closely tied to the path of Incense Fire Divine.

Now, with his Divine Soul torn and both his Immortal Root and Celestial Foundation shattered, his connection to the Incense Fire Willpower had reached an unprecedentedly fragile state.

At this moment, he could completely sever the connection with Daoist Venerable Zheng Chu, attempting to fully separate it from his true self.

Initially, Chu Zheng believed that having multiple skills did not burden a master. Having an additional method surely meant an extra pathway. Many, including Zhao Tingxian, had advised him to focus on one path, but he had not given up.

However, having reached this stage in his cultivation, he realized something ominous—being a jack of all trades but master of none was certainly not beneficial. Your next chapter is on My Virtual Library Empire@@novelbin@@

Especially the Incense Fire Divine lineage, which completely failed to integrate with both the Immortal Path and the Qi Refining Lineage, was entirely incompatible.

A massive amount of Incense Fire Willpower, though vast in quantity, was excessively mixed and chaotic. Even though he had stopped absorbing Incense essence long ago to replenish himself, it still significantly impacted his Divine Soul.

This could be slightly discerned from his own combat ability. Without resorting to methods from the Qi Refining Lineage, such as top-tier Divine Skills like 'Law of Heaven and Earth' that forcibly elevated combat ability, struggling against peers, it would be difficult for him to kill Qi Yun.

With his talents in the Immortal Path, even without relying on Qi Refining methods, he should not have been driven to such a desperate situation by Qi Yun. Ultimately, it was because his cultivation had risen too quickly, causing an unstable foundation.

This path had been trodden by Zhao Tingxian before, but he had not rushed it as drastically as Chu Zheng. It took him nearly a thousand years to Become an Immortal, and his physical constitution was refined to Perfection— even becoming a Pure-blooded Immortal Descendant, surely through some unknown means.

However, this would have to be inquired about later when the opportunity arose.

Using this severe blow as a chance, Chu Zheng could reshape his Dharma Body, first repairing his physical Root Bone through the repair panel, and his incomplete Divine Soul need not be hurriedly fixed, allowing him to gradually restore it himself.

With this in mind, Chu Zheng no longer hesitated and forcibly severed the connection to the Incense Fire Willpower. Using all the Golden Bodies in the Chaos Sea as an anchor, he completely detached the connection between him and Daoist Venerable Zheng Chu.

The Incense Fire Willpower that had transmitted from the depths of the universe soon dissipated completely, no longer sending even the slightest fluctuation.

This kind of detachment seemed decisive, but it was far from clean, leaving many hidden dangers behind.

Daoist Venerable Zheng Chu's Golden Body was still present, and within the Chaos Sea were billions of believers. Having lost their source in him, what changes might occur within the willpower of these believers contained in Daoist Venerable Zheng Chu's Golden Body was unknowable.

But now, Chu Zheng no longer had the power to control these believers, especially in the Dongyuan Realm. Under the vast differences in the flow of time, more than a thousand years had already passed there.

During this lengthy period, Daoist Venerable Zheng Chu had already become deeply intertwined with countless living creatures' interests. Just under his command, the Incense Fire Divine alone had already become quite a significant number.

Under these circumstances, the possibility of no longer accepting offerings was absolutely impossible.

If Chu Zheng had wished to absorb all Incense Fire Willpower earlier, he would have already reached Perfect Eighth Order and could even possibly have leapt into the Ninth Order directly through the Incense Fire Divine Path.

But for him personally, this would cause irreversible effects, as being mired in the varied wills within the Incense Fire alone would leave him mostly in a state of deep sleep, incapacitated to contemplate anything else.

Aside from this, the Incense Fire Divine Path had one more fatal flaw. Should a mishap occur in the Dongyuan Realm, leading to the collapse of the painstakingly constructed believer system, his cultivation would also revert to square one, like a castle in the air collapsing overnight.

This was something Chu Zheng absolutely couldn't afford. Seizing the chance to cut off this path now was also like snatching the reins at the edge of a cliff, still offering a chance to remedy.

Chu Zheng slowly closed his eyes, activating the repair panel, as the essence of heaven and earth converged around him, with the bright white crown of his head gradually solidifying.

Not far away, Bai Nian leaned against a towering ancient tree, watching Chu Zheng, who was healing, with a slightly furrowed brow and in deep contemplation.

During this period, he had been contemplating where to begin. Seeing Chu Zheng once again narrowly escape death, he seemed to have some ideas.

Perhaps he could first write a historical record for Chu Zheng, documenting his experiences thus far.

Bai Nian roughly knew some of Chu Zheng's past experiences. Once Chu Zheng's convalescence was over and he had inquired about his date of birth, adding some details would likely suffice.

Aside from these, what he needed to consider most presently was which era-naming system to use.

Within the Great Universe, the methods for calculating years were extremely complicated.

Just within the Ten Thousand Realms, there were already dozens of era-naming methods, along with some more obscure ones—probably already more than a hundred. If the systems used by the Immortal Alliance and the Martial Hall were included, they were indeed countless.

The universe was too vast, and within the various Star Domains, the length of day and night cycles varied, with some extreme stars experiencing several hundred or even thousand years for a single cycle of seasons. This was a common occurrence.

After deep thought, Bai Nian took out a Jade Book, and putting pen to scroll, he wrote:

[Origin Year, Immortal Martial Alliance, Heavenly Fate each taking a share... ]

Since it was difficult to standardize the calendar, it was time to establish a new class of calendar.

As it all started with Chu Zheng, let us begin from his birth year, making it easier to calculate in the future.

Even if a uniform calendar for the Great Universe will be established in time to come, by slightly comparing and verifying with the cosmic power structure recorded within this annal, it would be possible to deduce the specific era of Chu Zheng.

"What is going on?!"

Fu Zhixuan, her body stained with blood, stared at the desolate plain before her, her expression frozen, thoughts nearly halted.

She had only managed to shield Chu Zheng for half a day before barely holding on, retreating toward the camp direction with a few True Immortals.

At the same time, she had sent numerous messages to the camp requesting assistance, yet they fell into oblivily, with no responses forthcoming.

When she finally made it back here, the original camp had vanished into thin air.

The lingering energy of utter destruction in the air was enough to prove a catastrophic event had occurred here.

Thinking of Chu Zheng, Fu Zhixuan's expression transformed instantly; she pulled out a Jade Mirror and sent a message to her fellow Immortals still in the Great Immortal Realm:

"Has Chu Zheng's name changed on the Immortal List? Are the True Immortals from Breaking Kill Army's Camp Number Six of the Seventh Company still safe?"

The True Immortals' deaths would also result in their removal from the Immortal List, which was the fastest way to ascertain the current status of Chu Zheng and the others.

Soon, a reply came through the Jade Mirror:

"Chu Zheng is intact. In Breaking Kill Army's Seventh Company, Camp Number Six, Second Tribulation True Immortals Fang Zhi, Qin Gui, Lu Xing, and First Tribulation True Immortals Shi Yi, Huo Miaojun, Jiang Ze'an, and Tan Hai have all died in battle."

Upon receiving the message, Fu Zhixuan's gaze slightly dispersed, her mind buzzing.

Chu Zheng was alive, but the entire camp had been fully erased.

After glancing around, she dared not stay longer, leading the few True Immortals behind her toward another Immortal Alliance Camp.

Now she had no time to investigate what exactly had happened to the camp.

As more and more cultivators from the Myriad Realms gathered nearby, lingering any longer would put her life at risk. As a True Inheritor of the Immortal Emperor, her head had a hefty bounty in the Myriad Realms, worth a fortune.

At the edge of the upper Heavenly Domain.

A streak of light suddenly paused, revealing seven figures.

"Great Saint?"

Seeing You Bi Yue halting, the following Martial Saints all wore puzzled expressions.

You Bi Yue's cheeks slightly twitched, her gaze as dark as still water, as she spoke in a low tone:

"To be safe, I had our insider from the Immortal Alliance check the Immortal List. I just received a message that Chu Zheng's name is still on the Immortal List."

Having his name on the Immortal List was enough to confirm that Chu Zheng was still in this world.

Hisss—

The few Martial Saints instinctively inhaled sharply, their expressions instantly turning to fear.

This is bad!

Chu Zheng wasn't dead, and it wasn't just about whether the mission could be completed anymore.

The critical issue was that Chu Zheng now knew what they had done before. Once he sent a message to the Immortal Alliance, only a bit of verification was needed for them to have no place to be buried.

After all, the Ten Thousand Realms Battlefield was essentially half a main stage for the Immortal Alliance; they didn't even have a chance to escape.

Should their deeds come to light, the Immortal Martial Alliance might even fracture from this, leading to even more severe consequences.
