Qi Cultivation Starting from the Repair Panel

Chapter 485: Chapter 325: Causal Line

The extent of the Earth Tribulation exceeded Chu Zheng’s expectations.

Within hundreds of thousands of miles, the Earth Vein Qi surged wildly. With the nourishment of a massive amount of earth attribute primordial energy, the spirit plants and ancient trees that originally grew on the land benefited substantially, stretching their branches and leaves against the wind, growing wildly amid the cracking earth.

Boom—

A muffled hum echoed between heaven and earth as orange-yellow earth dragons zigzagged across the sky, continuously flowing into Chu Zheng’s body.

With a large amount of earth attribute primordial energy entering his body, his jet-black, shiny hair tinted with a faint yellowish glow. Mud-like spiritual liquid began to seep from his skin, dripping and flowing.

Unable to bear the sudden surge of earth attribute primordial energy, it overflowed from his hair and pores all over his body. His skin began to crack visibly, almost turning into a mud statue under the envelopment of the spiritual liquid.

Beneath the massive amount of earth attribute primordial energy, the Heart Flame burning within Chu Zheng’s heart dulled momentarily, nearly extinguishing, with a large amount of Fire Attribute Essence Qi being drawn away.

The Indestructible Sky Kirin Fire coiled above his heart seemed agitated; the little Kirin struggled continuously, but still could not stop the leakage of essence qi.

Once the Immortal Fire extinguished, Chu Zheng’s heart would also stop beating, and next, his physical body’s vitality would cease entirely, completely turning into a mud statue.

Chu Zheng’s expression remained calm as he took out the Earth Vein Stone Fire with a flip of his hand, cutting open his lower abdomen to directly stuff it into his Dantian.

The stone peel wrapping the flames shattered, revealing the dancing Heavenly Fire within. The Earth Element Immortal Root completely absorbed the fallen stone peel, visibly hastening the condensation speed of the earth attribute primordial energy.

The Heavenly Fire, accompanying the circulation of immortal power, entered his heart, merging into the Indestructible Sky Kirin Fire, stabilizing the soon-to-extinguish Heart Flame.

His cultivation began to rise, almost instantaneously stepping into the Late Second Tribulation phase, rapidly approaching the realm of a Mid-stage Three Calamities True Immortal.

His strong heartbeat returned to normal, an immense amount of earth attribute primordial energy entered Chu Zheng’s spleen, beginning to assist his physical body in undergoing a new round of extreme transformation.

The spleen, among the five vital organs, is extremely important, mainly responsible for blood creation, absorption, and filtration. Now, Chu Zheng’s spleen underwent a fundamental change, gradually merging with the Earth Element Immortal Root.@@novelbin@@

Each thread of Immortal Blood circulating through his limbs and bones, upon entering the spleen, would be purified and refined anew. Although the amount decreased tenfold, it became even more concentrated and pure.

As the total amount of Immortal Blood decreased, Chu Zheng’s body became progressively more parched and rough, losing its blood-nourished luster, but his eyes revealed an increasingly vigorous vitality.

This transformation lasted for two entire days and nights, until Chu Zheng’s spleen completely transformed. Despite the rapid influx of earth attribute primordial energy, he still found it somewhat overwhelming.

He could only pile all the remaining primordial energy into his Qi Refinement’s Cultivation.

His Early Stage Heavenly Immortal cultivation began to ascend continuously, and the previously depleted Tribulation Qi began to accumulate once again.

Chu Zheng held nothing back, placing all the Tribulation Qi on his avatar located in the Spirit Moon Great Realm, allowing it to undergo the tribulation, experiencing the profound changes within its body.

Under the operation of the spleen, the refined Immortal Blood began to replenish his limbs and bones once again. A large amount of tainted blood was expelled from his body, and Chu Zheng’s cultivation soared, stepping into the realm of a Three Calamities True Immortal.

The mud on his body’s surface receded back into his body, and his parched physique gradually plumped up, regaining its Blood Qi. The anomaly on his hair gradually faded, emitting an ink-like luster.

A strong spleen wards off all poisons. At Chu Zheng’s level of cultivation, there were already few poisons that could threaten him, and now he was virtually unrestricted.

Moreover, once the spleen completely transformed, it allowed his physical body to maintain its prime state for a considerable period of time, eliminating parts of his body exhausted by time, eternally youthful.

Like the previous Wood Tribulation and Fire Tribulation, the Earth Tribulation lasted three days and gradually dissipated.

With the massive supplement of primordial energy, Chu Zheng’s cultivation steadily climbed a major realm, stepping into the Mid-stage Three Calamities True Immortal, and his Qi Refinement’s cultivation also made considerable progress.

With the cultivation of a Mid-stage Three Calamities True Immortal and various Divine Skills, if no powerful external forces interfered, he could now traverse the Lower Heavenly Domain unobstructed.

The moment the tribulation passed, Chu Zheng had a thought and sensed a change with his avatar in the Spirit Moon Great Realm, which had fallen into a bitter battle.

In the Early Stage of Heavenly Immortal, one must overcome 3,300 major and minor tribulations to enter the Middle Stage. Under the fierce infusion of the Earth Tribulation, the primordial energy that ordinarily required a long time to accumulate had completed a third.

In other words, Chu Zheng leveraged the Earth Tribulation as a stepping stone, bypassing nearly a thousand accumulated tribulations, thus amassing an astonishing amount of Tribulation Qi, entirely triggering a major tribulation.

The Tianyi Dynasty and another top-tier dynasty engaged in a full-scale war, whether this was related to him, Chu Zheng couldn’t be certain. Currently, he had no time to attend to his avatars, with a repair mechanism in place, there shouldn’t be too many problems for the time being.

Now, he wanted to meet Geng Yiyang and incidentally find out about the current movements within the Immortal Alliance.

He was not very clear about Geng Yiyang’s current location, as the Heavenly Fate in the Ten Thousand Realms Battlefield was chaotic, and some divination techniques were completely ineffective.

However, he still had some methods; being a Qi Cultivator, his Cultivation had already reached the Third Layer of the Eighth Order. By using the Heavenly Divination Technique again, he could trace the causal line of his own fate, thereby sensing some living creatures entangled with him by karma.

Although he only had a vague general direction and couldn’t pinpoint the exact location, it was still better than searching for a needle in the ocean.

This was originally meant for transforming and transcending tribulations, but now it had found some use.

Chu Zheng’s eyelids slightly drooped as he operated the Heavenly Divination Technique, beginning to retrospectively trace his own karma.

In an instant, a striking red causal line entered his perception, thick as a dragon coiling around a heavenly column, impossible to overlook.

“Lingxue?!”

Sensing the end of this causal line, Chu Zheng was momentarily taken aback, somewhat unable to understand why Song Lingxue, with her identity and Cultivation, would appear on the Ten Thousand Realms Battlefield.

Confused for a brief moment, he then realized that she most likely came seeking him.

Recalling the previous Great Saint of Martial Path, Chu Zheng calmed his emotions, fell into contemplation; presently, the Martial Hall sought his death, and he had no idea of the situation around Song Lingxue. He could not just carelessly go directly to her; he needed to be cautious.

Regaining his composure, Chu Zheng continued to sense and soon detected the causal line belonging to Geng Yiyang.

What surprised him was that Geng Yiyang and Song Lingxue were in the same direction, not far apart.

Without further hesitation, he used the Shape-Shifting Divine Power to disguise his appearance, tore through the void, and sought out the other end of the causal line.

After Chu Zheng left, ripples faintly emerged in the void, and a figure stepped out.

Looking around at the devastated land, Dongsheng Yu’s nostrils flared; her expression gradually changed.

Behind her, the phantom of an Ancient Wood materialized; its roots spread out, embedding into the earth, starting to communicate with the spirit plants on the ground.

A few moments later, a clot of tainted blood emerged from the palm of Dongsheng Yu’s hand. She gazed in the direction where Chu Zheng left, her eyes reflecting a complex light.

She had attacked Chu Zheng before and got his Essence Blood on her, the taste she would not mistake.

Originally, she just had a casual interest to see if there were any old acquaintances in the Immortal Alliance, and along the way, she continued to track Chu Zheng. Unexpectedly, she was delayed for some time and thus missed him.

Even more chilling to her was that it had been only five years since Chu Zheng entered the Second Tribulation, but he had already advanced to another tribulation. Even bearing the Yin Yang Immortal Bone, this was incredibly defying of heaven.

The Immortal Ancestor was truly farsighted; from across the starry sea, he had discerned the unique aspects of Chu Zheng—unfortunately, her own vision was somewhat lacking.

However, now that she knew the direction, with her Seventh Tribulation Cultivation, catching up was not difficult.

Dongsheng Yu dissipated the tainted blood in her hands, stood in place, looked at the void, and cracked an awkward smile:

“Chu… fellow Daoist, it’s been a long time, I have been sent by the orders of Fan Long Immortal King to extend an invitation…”

Before she finished speaking, she suddenly raised her hand and rubbed her face, her rigid expression becoming somewhat difficult to behold.

She never thought that her relationship with Chu Zheng would transform so rapidly.

Now facing Chu Zheng again, she actually had to ponder her wording in advance to avoid displeasing him.

“Damn Burial Realm, why are such monstrous freaks showing up in these years, isn’t Shang Cangyun enough?!”

After a while, she couldn’t help but curse in a low voice, tore through the void, and followed the trail.

No matter what, she had to ensure Chu Zheng’s safe return without direct confrontation, needing careful persuasion, otherwise, even if Fan Long forgave her, Chu Zheng wouldn’t let her off easily in the future.
