Qi Cultivation Starting from the Repair Panel

Three scorching suns hung high in the sky, emitting extreme heat.

Just the natural environment of Dongyuan Realm was much harsher than that of Cangyun Realm, and ordinary infants simply couldn't survive in such high temperatures without the aid of a totem's power.

Chu Zheng had activated his Invisibility Technique, moving as swiftly as the wind through the wilderness; he had been away from the tribe for half a day, and had already encountered numerous Savage Beasts varying from Zeroth Order to First Order, rarely any Second Order.

Clearly, for the safety of the tribe, the nearby area had been cleared, and the remaining Savage Beasts were probably intended for the coming-of-age rites.

On this departure from the tribe, Chu Zheng only planned to survey the vicinity within ten thousand miles; as for the Savage Beasts, he could just bring one back when he returned to fulfill his obligations.

After the coming-of-age ceremony, he would gain the freedom to come and go from the tribe as he pleased, so there was no need to rush.

Upon reaching Spirit Transformation, Chu Zheng could wield many Divine Skills, so there was virtually no danger for him in this nearby wilderness.

With a repair panel in hand, he didn't need to stop to recover his strength; after traveling for an entire day, Chu Zheng was already thousands of miles from the tribe, and only when the six silver moons hung high did he finally halt his steps.

In the vicinity, he discovered that occasionally there were Second Order Savage Beasts wandering about, far enough away from the Wangshan Tribe.

For ordinary people in the Wangshan Tribe, their coming-of-age rites would not reach such a distant place.

Not thirty miles ahead of Chu Zheng was a vast plain overgrown with weeds taller than a man.

Beneath the cover of the weeds were some incomplete, huge stone blocks stretched out for dozens of miles.

These were traces of activity from the Human Race; once there had been a tribe thriving here, now only ruins remained.

For Chu Zheng, ruins like these were the places that interested him the most, offering many gains for him.

Chu Zheng didn't rashly approach the ruins; within that wasteland, his Spiritual Eye saw a powerful presence moving about, its Blood Qi exuberantly fierce, surpassing the scope of First Order, a Second Order Savage Beast.

Such an existence, against his current strength, could not be confronted head-on, necessitating the use of some means.

Chu Zheng concealed his Qi and slowly entered the plain, found a barren spot, and began to dig the earth leisurely to carve out Formation Patterns.

Currently without a Magic Artifact in hand, naturally, much effort was needed to hunt such a Second Order Savage Beast.

To avoid alarming that Savage Beast, Chu Zheng acted with great care, digging continuously day and night until all the Formation Patterns were completed.

The Array he was using this time was a derivative of the Gold Element from the Five Elements Array, originating from the Eternal Calamity Treasure Record.

This Array was an Incomplete, castrated version, greatly simplified; the complete version, within the Eternal Calamity Treasure Record, called the 'Gengjin Demonslaying Grand Array,' had a Quality as high as Ninth Order and could suppress the existence of a supreme being.

As Chu Zheng currently had no materials, he could only use the Transmute Stone to Gold technique to create golden threads which he buried into the Formation Patterns to enhance the Array's potency.

He then began to circulate his Yuan Qi within his body, continuously charging the Array with energy until exhausted, then used the repair panel to recover to his prime state, and repeated the process.

Another full day passed, and it was deep into the night before the Array could no longer hold more Yuan Qi, and Chu Zheng finally ceased his work.

He didn't waste any time and, after a brief moment to regulate his breathing, got up and stealthily approached the Savage Beast.

Savage Beasts have a strong sense of territory, and in the vicinity of this plain, there was only this one beast active.

Chu Zheng soon reached the vicinity of the Savage Beast, observing it quietly from a few hundred zhang away.

In the midst of the weeds lay a pitch-black giant beast nearly two zhang long, its fur as black as ink, limbs robust, covered in bulging muscles lined with blood vessels.

At the moment, it was feasting, swallowing flesh and bones into its belly without wasting any.

Savage Beasts active at night...

Chu Zheng looked up at the sky, dawn was nearing.

He patiently waited for over an hour until the first light of dawn appeared, and the rays of the morning sun soon spilled over the land.

Only when it was fully light did Chu Zheng make his move.

He withdrew hundreds of zhang away and then deactivated his Invisibility Technique before taking out his Bone Spear, cutting off a section of his arm, and hurling it forcefully, flinging it a thousand zhang and striking the Shadow Lion's head before turning without the slightest hesitation and fleeing.

Blood from the severed arm gushed forth, leaving a trail behind.

Although it was daytime, which would somewhat affect the Shadow Lion, it was ultimately a Second Order fierce beast; catching up to him wouldn't take much time. Every second counted.

"Roar——"

A thunderous bestial roar erupted in the wilderness; Chu Zheng's provocation had thoroughly enraged the Shadow Lion.

The piercing sound of the wind carrying the beast's roar bridged the distance, and within a mere span of a few moments, the Shadow Lion was less than a hundred zhang behind Chu Zheng.

A heavy scent of blood mixed with the distinctive stench from the beast filled Chu Zheng's mouth and nose.

Silently calculating the distance, Chu Zheng felt certain that in just over a dozen more breaths, he would reach the area where the Array was located.

"Wuu——"

A shrill wailing came from behind, the imminent threat of death approaching; Chu Zheng turned his head for a brief glance, and his expression suddenly changed.

A gigantic stone several zhang in diameter was hurtling through the air toward him; this was somewhat unexpected - the Shadow Lion actually resorted to throwing stones?!
