Qi Cultivation Starting from the Repair Panel

[Star Trace Tower (Eighth Order/Incomplete): A top quality Immortal Treasure, the tower body is divided into nine levels, refined with ninety-nine top quality Great Stars. It was shattered by a Celestial Lord in battle. With your current abilities, it is impossible to repair. (Detail)]

[Detailed Information: A support-type Immortal Treasure, one of the top treasures among Immortal Treasures. It draws the power of the stars and can refine Star Origin Liquid, increasing the cultivation of those in the True Immortal Realm. Lacking the remaining fragments, it is extremely difficult to repair. If the other fragments can be found, the difficulty of repair will be greatly reduced.]

The fragment of the Immortal Treasure that Chu Zheng found was a broken piece of a cyan Pagoda, with only the spire and less than three levels on top left, two-thirds missing.

A divine peak of tens of thousands of feet had been snapped in half. He found the Star Trace Tower among a pile of rubble, unremarkable and only the size of a palm. Had his Spiritual Eye not been constantly active, he would never have discovered it.

It was hard to imagine that within such a small Pagoda were refined ninety-nine top quality stars.

He wasn't very clear about the grading of stars. The Hundred Stars Elixir he acquired previously, which was made from the essence of a hundred lower grade stars, could greatly increase the cultivation of a Three Calamities True Immortal.

As for the remnants of that Immortal Pill, it was even more of a coincidence. They were scattered next to a fire control Array.

The Fire Seed at the center of the Array, as well as the Pill Furnace, had vanished without a trace, surely taken by someone who came before, but around the edges, there lay scattered chunks of what appeared to be charcoal residue.

Clearly, someone had discovered this place for Alchemy a long time ago, took the Pill Furnace and the Fire Seed, and directly dumped out the dregs of the pills, leaving them behind.

When Chu Zheng saw the information given on the panel, for a moment he could hardly believe it.

[Golden Scale Nine Revolutions Pill (Eighth Order/Incomplete): Made from the heart blood of a Sacred Qilin, supplemented by nine strains of Immortal herbs. Due to over-cultivation, its medicinal properties have been completely destroyed, and with your current abilities, it is impossible to repair. (Detail)]

[Detailed Information: A Four Tribulations Immortal Pill that has experienced four pill tribulations. It can greatly enhance the cultivation of True Immortals below Five Tribulations, and there's a small chance of increasing a tribulation's strength or acquiring Qilin blood.]

The Golden Scale Nine Revolutions Pill was a thousand times stronger than the Hundred Stars Elixir Chu Zheng acquired; it was even effective for Five Tribulations True Immortals.

However, regrettably, his current level as a Repair Master was too low and insufficient to meet the requirements.

Chu Zheng had performed the Heavenly Divination Technique to try to find the fragments of the Star Trace Tower, but the direction was very vague, at least millions of miles away.

This was already in an area shrouded in mystery, with unknowable risks.

However, even if there were some risks, so long as the fragments of the Star Trace Tower were still within this Secret Realm, Chu Zheng would attempt to find them.

After all, it was a top quality Immortal Treasure, a top treasure among Immortal Treasures, something one chances upon but cannot seek. Even if it was currently unrepairable, there would eventually be an opportunity to put it to use.

......

......

Chu Zheng made some changes to his initially planned route, starting to move towards the direction guided by the Heavenly Divination Technique.

He didn't waste any of the twenty daily refresh opportunities of the repair panel and used them all, mainly to repair various Fourth Order Spirit Pills.

Elixirs that even great Divine Infant cultivators struggled to obtain, Chu Zheng consumed one every few days. The speed of his Divine Soul's growth was terrifying, with the range of his Divine Sense changing almost daily.

At this rate, his Divine Soul would achieve another breakthrough before leaving the Secret Realm.

With the existence of the repair panel, the so-called pill poison was simply not a concern for Chu Zheng.

The only slight issue was that his physical body was gradually struggling to keep up. A feeling of fullness would often emerge from the Niwan Palace at his forehead, as if something was about to break out of its cocoon.

With the dual enhancement of the Dao Embryo and Soul Condensation, the strength of his Divine Soul had grown too swiftly, far surpassing the realm of his physical body.

He was not lacking in body-refining techniques, but he never had spare time to devote energy to practice. He needed to think of some other methods in the future.

Moving towards the direction indicated by the Heavenly Divination Technique, after several days, Chu Zheng suddenly had a shift in his expression.

He sensed the presence of a cultivator, whose internal Qi was very vigorous, likely young in age.

Chu Zheng had detected this person from tens of miles away, but their Divine Sense was far inferior to his and had not noticed anything.

After pausing to ponder for a moment, Chu Zheng took out the Hidden Dragon List and recorded the unknown cultivator's aura, starting to compare them one by one.

The Cangyun Secret Realm didn't have much fame among ordinary cultivators. Under the intentional control of the Holy Lands, this place had essentially become the back garden of the major Holy Lands.

Anyone who could enter here was from the Holy Lands, likely elite talents hailing from one.

Soon, Chu Zheng made a discovery.

[Hidden Dragon List 274th place: From Tai Xu Holy Land, Ji Xiao, cultivation at the peak of Mid Soul Condensation Realm, bone age eighty-one.]

Someone from Tai Xu Holy Land...

Chu Zheng felt a slight sinking in his heart. Along the way, apart from Taixuan, he had the deepest entanglement with Tai Xu Holy Land, with its shadow over his head since his time in Great Zhou.

Just as Chu Zheng was lost in thought, the presence in the distance began to flee rapidly, obviously trying to escape.

In the blink of an eye, Chu Zheng's gaze sharpened, and he strode forward, crossing a hundred miles in an instant. Beneath his feet, clouds formed and mist streamed from his cuffs, rolling over the void.

A tremendous and overpowering wave of Qi trailed behind him, accompanied by a roaring boom as it crushed through the void.

Since he was a person from the Holy Land, it was certain that Ji Xiao had the Cangyun Secret Realm Map in her possession, which must be more complete than the one he held.

The Cangyun Secret Realm Map from the Tai Xu Holy Land must be entirely different from that of the Taixuan Holy Land. If Chu Zheng wished to find the Star Trace Tower, he needed to get his hands on that map, as it might reduce many hidden risks.

Even when he was in the Entry Dao Realm, his speed of movement had already surpassed that of Great Cultivators in the Soul Condensation Realm, and now, with his cultivation greatly advanced, it was even more astonishing.

In just two steps, Chu Zheng had already caught sight of her figure, with curves graceful and swift, clad in a dark vestment robe, with light around her body flowing like water, her swordplay dispersing in bursts like a dragon rushing swiftly into the distance.

Tai Yuan Dragon Sword Dance.

"Stop!"

Chu Zheng commanded with a light shout that shook the vast expanse of sky for a hundred miles.

Ji Xiao turned a deaf ear, ignoring him completely and merely focused on her desperate rush.

Seeing this, Chu Zheng harbored no sympathy or tenderness, his Five Elements Immortal Root stirring slightly within. He reached out a large hand, and a massive palm wrapped in five-colored mysterious light thunderously crashed down!

Boom!

In the span of a flick, Ji Xiao's fleeing light was shattered by Chu Zheng's palm, and, like a falcon with broken wings, she plummeted to the earth, smashing through several low peaks before finally coming to a rough halt.

Chu Zheng reached out again, mana surged forcefully, forming another giant palm that scooped up Ji Xiao.

To the current Chu Zheng, someone in the mid Soul Condensation Realm was no match for him; in the blink of an eye, Ji Xiao was captured.

Ji Xiao had already fainted, her body limp, her head and feet covered in dust, and bright red blood continuously dripped down from her skirt's hem.

In that palm strike, Chu Zheng had not held back in the slightest; Ji Xiao's bones were mostly shattered, and it was only due to her profound mana that she still clung to life.

"Villain, cease your hand!"

A roar echoed from the distant void as three figures emerged.

The one who spoke appeared to be under twenty, with long brows, well-defined features, and eyes filled with rage.

Above his head, spiritual light surged, supporting a Jade Umbrella, with golden jade as its frame and shielded by spiritual light, concealing within it an ominous force.

A genuine Tongxuan Spiritual Treasure!

Sensing the threatening presence from the Jade Umbrella, Chu Zheng's brow furrowed deeply.

No one knew better than him the might of a Tongxuan Spiritual Treasure, as even a strong practitioner of the Nine Transformations of Immortal Path Divine Infant would be as insignificant as roadside weeds in its presence.

While his mind was still in shock, Chu Zheng suddenly noticed the Tribulation Qi around him was serene, showing no signs of reaction.

To him, these few individuals didn't even count as a minor tribulation.

This was clearly illogical; with such a Spiritual Treasure present, he could face death at any moment.

With this realization, Chu Zheng calmed his mind and spirit and, after a careful sensing, his eyes lit up with understanding.

This Jade Umbrella had no connection with these few individuals; in other words, it had yet to choose a master.

It was likely that these people had found this Tongxuan Spiritual Treasure, but they didn't possess the qualifications to be chosen by the Treasure.

The greater possibility was that they had struck a deal with the Spiritual Treasure, to take it out of this secret realm and find a better master for it elsewhere.

Once aware of this, Chu Zheng quickly regained his composure.

Not far away, the leading young man's eyes grew colder as he said, "Villain, release my Junior Sister Ji and I shall spare your life today."

"Spare me?"

Hearing that, Chu Zheng couldn't help but let out a low chuckle, "Her life or death now lies within a single thought of mine. What right do you have to negotiate with me?"

Before his words could fade, his gaze shifted toward the hovering Jade Umbrella, mana gently swirling around him as he said aloud:

"My Superior Immortal Bone, Five Elements Immortal Root, are hundreds of times stronger than these fools. Instead of wasting time with these incompetents, why not follow me? Perhaps one day, you might even become an Immortal Treasure."

As he spoke, Chu Zheng slowly raised his hand:

"Come!"
