Qi Cultivation Starting from the Repair Panel

Upon entering the Heavenly Immortal Realm, Chu Zheng found deploying Star Capturing Heaven much easier than before, to the point of effortless mastery. Supported by the artifact repair panel, he could recover quickly.

As his main body's cultivation grew, the choice of Great Realms for his divine incarnation to face tribulations became increasingly cautious, at least it should not die too swiftly.

If the cultivation of the incarnation is too weak, it becomes meaningless to the main body, even a burden.

At this moment, Chu Zheng understood why Nie Longhu was so infuriated upon encountering him.

Going through incarnation tribulations is a matter concerning one's entire fortune and life; not every tribulation leads to the desired effect, and the likelihood of failure is quite high.

Qi Cultivators who have mastered the technique of incarnation tribulations tend to rely on their powerful main body's cultivation to wear away the Tribulation Qi from their incarnations until they gain self-preservation capabilities, marking the true beginning of their tribulations.

For Chu Zheng, if it wasn't for the Qi-refining Techniques and the existence of the artifact repair panel, his tribulation process would not be so smooth. It might take hundreds of years of hard work, ending in vain.

After releasing a strand of Divine Sense, Chu Zheng returned to the shop, quietly waiting for customers to arrive.

In the Lower Heavenly Domain, there won't be creatures with too powerful cultivation, so most of the fragments brought by people from Underground Palaces were not of very high Quality. There were some of Eighth Order, but most were Seventh Order or even below Sixth Order.

To Chu Zheng, these levels of items were almost of no use, but his main purpose now was to search for Supreme Treasure or Spiritual Medicine that could enhance the Divine Soul and nourish the Spirit Soul.

Having severed the connection with Incense Fire Willpower, his Primordial Spirit suffered a significant loss and has not been fully repaired. His previously powerful Primordial Spirit had almost become a weak spot, needing some time to recuperate.

Ancestral Spirit Shang Zuling walked out from the back of the house, looking much improved and having had a stable night's sleep, her spirits were visibly better.

Seeing her in good color, Chu Zheng pondered for a while and inquired:

"Daoist Shang, do you know where Supreme Mysterious Old Saint is now?"

He had wanted to ask about Geng Yiyang yesterday, but now even if he knew Geng Yiyang's whereabouts, he wouldn't be able to go directly to him. Given Daoist Shang's poor condition, he didn't press the issue.

"I truly don't know much... Saint Master Geng did not accompany me; he was assigned to the Ninth Camp and went to the frontline of the clash with the Ten Thousand Realms. We have lost contact for more than ten years now."

Ancestral Spirit Shang Zuling shook her head slightly, her expression somewhat helpless: "Aside from myself, the majority of Cangyun Cultivators have been assigned to the Eighth and Ninth Camps."

In the Breaking Kill Army's Human Camp, which includes the Seventh, Eighth, and Ninth Camps, where the number of cultivators is the most, they are tasked with the most dangerous frontal battlefield. They are also the cultivators with the least talent and oldest bone age.

Simply put, they're cannon fodder.

After hesitating for a moment, Ancestral Spirit Shang continued: "The circumstances of the Old Saint may not be too good. The Immortal Fire Seed and Taixuan Battle Halberd he brought here have all been taken, sent to the Middle Layer Heavenly Domain because they're not needed in the Lower Heavenly Domain's battlefields."

"The Taixuan Battle Halberd was taken directly by the Immortal Alliance?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Zheng's expression tightened slightly. Geng Yiyang's cultivation was only at Immortal Tribulation Realm, and he was not in his prime years. Without the protection of the Taixuan Battle Halberd, life on the frontline would probably be very difficult.

"It wasn't the Immortal Alliance, but a senior from Taixuan Holy Land at Eight Tribulations True Immortal level who personally came down from the Middle Layer Heavenly Domain to retrieve it. I've heard that he left Cangyun more than thirty thousand years ago."

Seeing Chu Zheng's concerns, Ancestral Spirit Shang shifted the topic: "In the Ninth Camp, there is also a Second Tribulation True Immortal from Taixuan Holy Land; I presume he will provide some care to the Old Saint."

Hearing this news, Chu Zheng was startled: "There are people from Taixuan Holy Land in the Ten Thousand Realms Battlefield?!"@@novelbin@@

He had thought that those from Taixuan Holy Land who had left Cangyun were all gone. As the Holy Master himself, he was unaware that seniors from Taixuan Holy Land's past were still present in the Ten Thousand Realms Battlefield.

If these people have been on the Ten Thousand Realms Battlefield all along, why have they never returned to Cangyun Realm for such a long time? This should be the case for Taixuan, as well as for the other Holy Lands.

"It's not the Ten Thousand Realms Battlefield."

Daoist Shang shook her head, denying Chu Zheng's idea: "Recently, to gain an advantage on the main battlefield, the Immortal Alliance has called forth some battle-hardened elites from the frontier barriers at the edge of the universe. Many Cultivators among them have been redeployed from the barriers, including elders from our clan..."

Talking about the realm barriers, Daoist Shang's gaze suddenly dimmed. The cultivation of her clan's elders was mostly above that of a True Immortal; they were high-profile targets, and only a few might have escaped unscathed in this major upheaval.

"The edge of the universe... Realm barriers..."

Chu Zheng became absent-minded, lost in thought.

Zhao Tingxian once mentioned to him that there were secrets capable of breaking the bloodline shackles of Cangyun within the barren peripheries of the universe.

However, Chu Zheng was not too eager about this now. The Immortal Path and the Qi-refining Technique were beginning to merge within him. Perhaps he could break free from these bloodline shackles on his own.

Even if there were limitations later, by the time he reached Nine Tribulations Perfection, it would be a matter for the distant future. There was no need to consider this for now.

While pondering, Chu Zheng's eyes paused; the thread of Divine Sense he had sent out to search the Great Realm had found a suitable one.

...

...

Chaos Sea.

Spirit Moon Great Realm.

Above the azure skies, six suns hung across the horizon, while clouds filled the Nine Heavens, covering countless islands floating in mid-air.

In Ancient Times, after cataclysms tore apart the Spirit Moon Great Realm, the continent fragmented, exposing endless abysses from which clouds and mist billowed forth. A Silver Moon appeared at the core's depths, its vague silhouette floating amidst the sea of mists, casting a glassy, Immortal scene.

Powerful living creatures ventured forth to seek out the island, attempting to cross the sea of clouds to uncover the mysteries of the Silver Moon, only to find space folded upon itself, making the Silver Moon unreachable by any means.

Since then, every three hundred and thirty years, the Silver Moon would emit a beam of Spiritual Light, stirring billions of miles of cloud sea, sending a great number of Earth Treasures and Heavenly Treasures and an astonishing amount of rich Spiritual Energy.

The numerous islands that formed from the fractured continent have, over years and years of nurturing by Spiritual Energy, gradually turned into Spirit Lands.

A single Silver Moon nurtured countless living creatures.

Chu Zheng stood in the Void, surveying this unusual world before him, and began the search for a suitable incarnation vessel.

This time, for the cultivation trial of incarnation, he wanted to try a different path; such as abandoning the human body and trying to walk the Qi Refining Path with some Otherkind's physique.

Qi-refining Technique, after all, involved absorbing Yin Yang Dual Qi and Sun and Moon Essence; this was not something only humans could do—Otherkind could do it too.

In fact, some Otherkind may have even greater inborn advantages.

After searching for a while, Chu Zheng's eyes settled on an enormous Ancient Wood.

[Silver Radiance Wood (Fourth Order): An Ancient Wood of one hundred thousand years, its branches and trunk have undergone multiple washes of Spiritual Energy and have become a Spirit Vein, making it an excellent material for crafting Magic Treasures.]
