Qi Cultivation Starting from the Repair Panel

However, the foundation of all this was predicated on the fact that the other end of the spatial channel was connected to a normal cultivation Great Realm within the positive universe, not to the opposite side of the universe.

If it were connected to the other side of the universe, where the other end of the spatial channel led to an Alien Realm of evil demons...

Then the best outcome would be for him to burn his Immortal body and seal the spatial channel for some time, thereby delaying the spread of the evil aura.

If the Immortal Alliance's powerhouses failed to arrive here before he could no longer sustain it, then Cangyun would be doomed.

Thinking of this, a cloud of doubt inevitably shrouded Ji Yuyan's heart. The Immortal Alliance spanned the Myriad Realms, yet now they could not spare even one True Immortal, which was quite strange.

Was the pressure on the Immortal Alliance really so immense... or was it something else...

During the Great Tournament of Ten Thousand Sects in the Cangyun Realm this time, according to past conventions, the Immortal Alliance would also send someone in advance to attend the ceremony, yet this time, only he had come.

The conflict between Taixuan Holy Land and Tai Xu Holy Land should not be handled by him. Zhao Tingxian, who presided over the Cangyun Heavenly Way and was born in Cangyun, was undoubtedly the most suitable candidate.

Yet Zhao Tingxian was coincidentally in seclusion, claiming to be preparing to overcome the final Heavenly Tribulation of the True Immortal Realm, aiming to step into the realm of Celestial Lord.

He remembered that Zhao Tingxian had only recently become an Eight Tribulations True Immortal, and now he was about to make a breakthrough so quickly...

At this thought, Ji Yuyan extinguished the successive thoughts that sprung up in his mind. At this moment, thinking about these was useless and would only needlessly shake his own Dao heart.

Once the spatial channel was fully opened, life or death would naturally become crystal clear.

...

...

After the upper echelons of the various Holy Lands returned, they immediately started making urgent preparations.

Long-sealed Immortal Treasures and numerous Tongxuan Spiritual Treasures were all awakened. As they had been essentially in a long slumber, the condition of many Wonderous Treasures was somewhat dimmed.

The Holy Lands spared no expense, consuming large amounts of Spiritual Objects to sharpen and cleanse weapons, honing the edge of the Spiritual Treasures to try to bring them back to their optimal state.

They were not only utilizing all the heritages within the Holy Lands but were also dispatching numerous elders above the Divine Transformation Realm to the various Sects to press-gang all Tongxuan Spirit Weapons and Cultivators above the Divine Infant level.

The full heritage that Ji Yuyan spoke of naturally included these Immortal Sects.

Compared to the tumult within several other Holy Lands, Taixuan Holy Land was unusually quiet.

After returning from the Divine Palace, a group of elders in the Divine Transformation Realm immediately began to awaken the Spiritual Treasures in the treasure vault.

Geng Yiyang silently entered the Supreme Profound Treasure Vault below, took out two strata of Immortal Flame sealed within amber, then removed the Crimson Crystal Grand Hall at the summit's peak, and at the same time, took away the Immortal Flame that suppressed beneath it.

Afterward, he drew forth a sea of magma from beneath the main peak, and a black and red Great Halberd emerged, breaking through the waves and landing in his palm.

The pitted blade of the black and red halberd was full of notches, yet it still emanated a terrifying aura, suppressing billions of miles of sky.

Chu Zheng, watching from a distance, soon received a notification on his interface.

[Heavenly Pattern Immortal Fire Hall (Eighth Order): Lower Quality Immortal Treasure, crafted by an Immortal Artifact Master, can significantly increase the cultivation speed of Fire Element Cultivators. (Details)]

[Infernal Hellfire (Eighth Order): A shadowy fire born near the Netherworld, originally Seventh Order, but transformed after absorbing the entire essence of a True Immortal. (Details)]

[Taixuan Divine Fire (Eighth Order): Transformed from a True Immortal who brought the Fire God Transformation to its extreme, retaining a strand of spiritual intelligence. (Details)]

[Golden Crow Heavenly Divine Flame (Eighth Order): The life essence flame of a Demon Immortal, capable of transforming into a great sun, nourishing a Great Realm. (Details)]

[Taixuan Battle Halberd (Eighth Order/Incomplete): High Quality Immortal Treasure, the personal Warrior weapon of a Taixuan True Immortal who has been through countless bloody battles, tasted the blood of a Celestial Lord, and once suffered a grievous injury. Though its foundation remains strong, with the True Spirit within rejuvenated, it can cleave a Seven Tribulations True Immortal. (Details)]

The information that kept flowing out caused Chu Zheng's breath to hitch. Three strands of Eighth Order Immortal Flame and two Immortal Treasures, such was the foundation of Taixuan.

Apart from these, the Tongxuan Spirit Weapons taken out by the group of Divine Transformation Realm Elders numbered more than ten, almost dazzling Chu Zheng's eyes.

If it wasn't for this heritage, Geng Yiyang would not have had the confidence to boldly declare his intent to topple the foundation of Tai Xu Holy Land.

Geng Yiyang packed up several Immortal Objects and landed in front of Chu Zheng. There was a touch of helplessness in his eyes; he wanted to leave something for Chu Zheng, but he was truly powerless to do so.

In this period, Ji Yuyan had thoroughly investigated the foundations of the various Holy Lands, leaving nothing hidden from his sight.

Each Tongxuan Spiritual Treasure was well-known and traceable, with no way to conceal them.

With the methods of a Tongxuan Cultivator, it was utterly fanciful to think of fooling a Demi Immortal in the late stage of the Immortal Tribulation Realm.

Moreover, at this critical juncture concerning the life and death of the Cangyun Realm, keeping secrets is a sure way to seek death.

"You promised me before that if I needed your help, as long as it was within your capabilities, you could not refuse."

Geng Yiyang said seriously, "Does that promise still hold?"

"Of course it does," Chu Zheng replied without the slightest hesitation.

"Then today, I will pass on the position of Taixuan Holy Master to you; you will take care of Taixuan for a while for me."

Geng Yiyang spoke solemnly, and without waiting for Chu Zheng to reply, he added:

"This matter should not be beyond your capabilities."

"..."

Chu Zheng was silent for a moment, then nodded, "Of course."

In Geng Yiyang's words, it wasn't hard to discern the intent to arrange affairs for after his passing; clearly, he didn't have much confidence in returning alive from this battle.

Not only him, but all these elderly Great Mysterious Elders present shared this sentiment.

The opening of the spatial passage to the Alien Realm often signified a fierce battle. At life's end, to fight on despite failing health was akin to igniting one's life, especially when the enemy was unknown.

"I want to entrust you with something."

After receiving Chu Zheng's answer, a trace of laughter appeared in Geng Yiyang's eyes: "If there are no mishaps in this battle, I likely won't be coming back, so there are some things I need to return to you in advance."

As he spoke, a Storage Spirit Ring appeared in his palm.

Chu Zheng took it instinctively, visibly moved. Inside the ring, there was nothing else, just a clump of burning Immortal Flame and a crimson Great Halberd.

The fire seed of the Indestructible Sky Kirin Fire and the Lihuo Spear—the items Geng Yiyang had taken from him.

"I took your things previously, and now I have returned them all to you; don't curse me in your heart anymore."

Geng Yiyang's expression was somewhat complex, these being the only things he could leave for Chu Zheng.

The relics left by Ye Yulou, besides Chu Zheng, only Geng Yiyang knew of them, which was why these two items could be preserved.

"Holy Master..."

"That's enough, there's no need to mention anything more between us; whether I live or die, I'm sure you aren't too concerned," said Geng Yiyang with a light laugh. "Fortunately, I didn't kill you directly back then; otherwise, I wouldn't know where Taixuan would stand today."

As his voice fell, his expression gradually grew solemn, and in his heart, he murmured silently:

'Ancestors above listen, and celestial beings bear witness, this unworthy disciple Geng Yiyang, ashamed to have fallen short of the teachings of my predecessors, have not followed the path of a True Immortal. In my lifetime, I've contributed nothing of worth to Taixuan, and have been unfit for this great responsibility; my ignorance has led to the demise of our disciples, and the once-revered holy land of Taixuan is now but a name. '

'Today, at this pivotal moment of survival, I pass the position of Holy Master to Chu Zheng, the 759th Saint Heir of Taixuan, in the hopes of continuing the legacy of Taixuan. If our ancestors have spirits, may they bless and protect Taixuan and ensure Chu Zheng's safety... Geng Yiyang pays his respects.'

...

...

The process of Chu Zheng assuming the role of Holy Master was exceedingly simple.

Under the watchful eyes of the young disciples, as well as the elders, Geng Yiyang took out the clothing of the Taixuan Holy Master—a red robe and golden crown, a jade belt and red ring, along with a piece of Red Jade marbled with blood—handing them all to Chu Zheng.

These were a set of Top Quality Magical Treasures, but precisely because they were a set, they hadn't been awakened yet.

In an instant, the ceremony was complete.

"After this battle, if the Cangyun Realm manages to survive, you will have already made history," Geng Yiyang said with a low chuckle as he saw Chu Zheng don the red robe.

Not just in the history of Taixuan, but throughout the entire Southern Region and even the entire Cangyun Realm, there had never been a Holy Master who governed a sacred land at the age of twenty.

After today, as long as the Cangyun Realm continued to exist, the name of Chu Zheng would be difficult to erase.
