Qi Cultivation Starting from the Repair Panel

Chapter 512: Chapter 352: Resource Treasury

Cosmic Edge.

Amidst the dead silence of the starry river, Chu Zheng sits cross-legged in the void, his eyelids slightly closed, surrounded by a mist of Immortal Light.

As his cultivation grows, the Qi of Heart Fire and Lung Gold circulate throughout; now the intervals between each of his breaths last for several days.

With each breath he takes, the starry space around him pulsates, and the stars billions of miles away are drawn by an invisible current, slowly deviating from their orbits and gathering around him.

The surrounding space, because of the previous great battle and the Golden Lineage Great Tribulation, became very empty. As time passed, stars have once more arrayed near this place.

This place is a frontier wasteland, where the roaming dead stars lack vitality, emitting an eerie coldness.

Hum—

A faint spatial fluctuation emerges from within the starry sky, and several figures step out.

Shortly, a few people approach Chu Zheng; a group of five or six, their bodies undulating with Immortal Qi, clearly recognizable as Immortal Path Cultivators.

The leader is a middle-aged man, a Three Calamities True Immortal, nearly fifty years old. His black hair is now interspersed with silver, and his Immortal Robe is stained with blood, emitting a faint stench of blood, indicating he’s not lightly wounded.

Those following him appear somewhat ragged; their hair disheveled, faces dirty, and cracks vaguely visible on their Immortal Bodies.

“Respectfully reporting to the Inspector, we have received a temporary withdrawal order from the Immortal Alliance to recuperate from the battlefront. Please allow us to pass.”

The middle-aged man bows respectfully, his breathing slightly hurried.

Upon hearing this, Chu Zheng slowly opens his eyes, his pupils brimming with golden light, full of Divine Might.

[Xiao Chuan (Eighth Order): A residual soul transformed into a Yin God, a leader under the command of the Jue Ming Mansion of the Vast Universe, with a cultivation at the Third Layer of the Eighth Order, possessing the Divine Power Treasure ‘Bone Painting Soul Robe’, controlling up to seventy percent, able to manipulate the original owner’s flesh body and Divine Skills.]

Chu Zheng frowns slightly, his Spiritual Eye scanning over those behind Xiao Chuan.

Soon enough, several pieces of information flow back; as expected, all are Yin Gods from the Vast Universe.

There are two branches of Evil Demons in the Vast Universe: ‘Evil Spirits’ and ‘Demon Monsters’.

Evil Spirits lack physical bodies, and are quite similar to the state of a Cultivator’s Primordial Spirit. They excel at occupying the flesh shells of living creatures, using them as façades. These few in front of him belong to this category.

Higher Evil Spirits possess great spiritual wisdom, and can even access the residual memories in their flesh hosts to cover their tracks, hiding their malicious aura among the Great Universe.

The other category, Demon Monsters, may not be as intelligent, but have powerful physiques, far surpassing Cultivators on the Martial Path.

Without a doubt, these individuals are Evil Spirits, wearing several human skins, trying to pass unnoticed to infiltrate the Great Universe.

The conflict between the Vast Universe and the Great Universe is utterly irreconcilable.

These Evil Demons believe that yang energy can help them fully resurrect. Once they leave the Cosmic Edge, a Blood Tribulation will inevitably be triggered, resulting in the death of many.

“Carry on then.”

Chu Zheng suppresses his thoughts and waves his hand dismissively.

“Thank you, Inspector.”

Xiao Chuan bows his head in gratitude, a sneer flashing in his eyes. He leads the few Yin Gods past Chu Zheng.

Chu Zheng slowly closes his eyes again and flicks his fingers lightly.

Boom—

Several streaks of lightning tear through myriads of miles of the starry sky, bringing forth thunderous roars.

Xiao Chuan’s expression freezes, before he can even react, a fierce silver light has already obscured his vision.

In an instant, the several Yin Gods, along with their physical bodies, turn to ashes from the calamity.

With Chu Zheng’s current cultivation, when he employs the Thunder Method, its power compared to before is incomparable. Under the pressure of the Great Realm, the Yin Gods at the Eighth Order Third Layer can be killed with a snap of the fingers, rendering any further words unnecessary.

These tricks used by the Yin Gods are something Chu Zheng has seen before; when he first met Nie Longhu, he had witnessed a similar method akin to the art of ‘Skin Painting’.

It must be said that if not for having the Spiritual Eye, he might have been deceived.

No wonder that the previous defense changes by the Immortal Alliance were all conducted from outside to inside, and without the permission of the Immortal Alliance, one is not allowed to retreat until death.

Thinking about it now, those cultivators who withdrew from the battlefield would also undergo a series of inspections.

Under such multi-tiered checkpoints, escaping would be as difficult as ascending to heaven.

Of course, all these are predicated on the assumption that the higher powers have not been defeated.

If those Immortal Monarchs and Immortal Emperors, and even cultivators of the Ancestral Realm, were to be defeated, then the so-called Heavenly Net would be instantly torn apart.

A fine net can catch fish but cannot contain a Dragon Whale.

Just like Chu Zheng’s current cultivation, the mere pressure from an Ancestral Realm expert passing by might crush him to death, without even realizing that a living creature had been crushed.

Buzz——

A fluctuation transmitted from the depths of his Divine Soul, and Chu Zheng’s eyes flickered, receiving Song Lingxue’s message through the Blood Jade as a medium.

“The Song Residence that Daoist Venerable Zheng Chu sent me to?!”

Upon seeing the information in the message, Chu Zheng felt a chill run down his spine, and a myriad of speculations flooded his mind in an instant.

Previously, when he borrowed a Zombie’s body in the Tianwu Realm and transformed into an entity undergoing Tribulation, he had seen the divine shrine of Daoist Venerable Zheng Chu within that Great Tomb.

He had wondered about that shrine, which was at least constructed a billion years ago, originating from the Primordial Era, and couldn’t possibly have been his Incense Flame Golden Body.

Now it seems that Daoist Venerable Zheng Chu had been in the world long ago, even having his name known since ancient times.

All along his journey, it was the Ancestral Dao laying down the path for him, and initially, it was Daoist Venerable Zheng Chu who sent him into the Song Residence.

Could Daoist Venerable Zheng Chu be the Ancestral Dao?

Chu Zheng subconsciously shook his head, dismissing this thought.

If Daoist Venerable Zheng Chu were the Ancestral Dao, then when he gathered the Incense Fire Willpower under the name of Daoist Venerable Zheng Chu, the power should not have stayed with him, but should have flowed to the Ancestral Dao.

Thinking of this, Chu Zheng’s thoughts paused, a chill ran down his spine as he considered another possibility.

If Daoist Venerable Zheng Chu was indeed the Ancestral Dao, then there was another possibility.

That is, the Ancestral Dao had truly passed away much earlier than he knew.

It’s very possible that when he collected the Incense Fire Willpower under the name of Daoist Venerable Zheng Chu, the Ancestral Dao had already died.

In this way, some causes could be explained.

If this is indeed the case, then who is the Daoist Venerable Zheng Chu in the Chaos Sea today?

Chu Zheng gradually came back to his senses, recalling the recent message from Song Lingxue, with some confusion.

Where did this Meteor with the Incense Flame Golden Body come from?

Chaos Sea… Meteor…

Quickly, Chu Zheng responded, sending out a message through the Blood Jade:

“In that Meteor, there is a collection of cultivation resources I stored long ago; I will pass you the Seal Technique so you can open the treasure vault within the Stars.”

If he remembered correctly, that was a collection of cultivation resources he had accumulated during his time as a Tribulation entity in the Dongyuan Realm.

To locate it, he had established an Incense Flame Golden Body on this Meteor, to serve as a positioning beacon.

He had not expected that after all these years, the Meteor had just started to drift out of the Chaos Sea.

Those cultivation resources, which he had put a lot of effort into back then, had a set of Formation Flags on them, once deployed they were powerful enough to trap a Perfect Eighth Order living creature.

Thinking it over, Chu Zheng added another line:

“Daoist Venerable Zheng Chu is not a benevolent character; keep your distance, avoid entanglement.”
