Qi Cultivation Starting from the Repair Panel

Immortal Path cultivators who face the Heavenly Tribulation undergo a trial given by heaven and earth. After surviving nine bolts of tribulation lightning and crossing over, one becomes a True Immortal, granted with a prolonged lifespan.

Qi Cultivators do not face Heavenly Tribulation, but similarly, they encounter many calamities. Without weathering these trials, their cultivation cannot grow.

Especially after reaching the Unity Realm Stage, the strength of Qi Cultivators' cultivation is closely linked to the calamities they have overcome. The more tribulations they endure, the stronger their combat power becomes.

Calamities represent an unavoidable stage for cultivators, adhering to the natural law of survival of the fittest.

To exist in this world, living beings must absorb energy.

In their initial state of ignorance, without any cultivation methods, living beings depend on fighting with other species, hunting, or consuming plants to fulfill their needs.

In this process, they invariably encounter various dangers and enter the cycle of the Heavenly Dao, becoming part of heaven and earth.

The path of cultivation involves drawing in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to nourish oneself, thus eliminating the need to risk hunting for energy. Strictly speaking, this already exceeds the normal principles of the Heavenly Dao cycle.

Were there no external interference, the number of cultivators becoming immortals would increase constantly.

The Immortal Ascension Tribulation is an additional threshold imposed by the Heavenly Dao, specially designed for Immortal Path cultivators, to compensate for the missing cycle and to weed out those not fated for immortality.

It's precisely because, to a certain extent, the path of Qi Cultivators does not contravene the laws of the heavenly cycle, that they do not face Heavenly Tribulation.

Surviving the calamities proves that you are stronger than other cultivators and, by right, should gain stronger power and occupy more resources in the world.

The mighty are always strong. It is so for this reason.

The tribulation clouds were as black as ink, with lightning flashing through them like strips of fabric, thunder booming the moment the terrifying outline of the tribulation clouds were illuminated, falling into the eyes of the surrounding cultivators, stretching beyond sight.

This was Chu Zheng's first time witnessing an Immortal Path cultivator facing tribulation. The horrifying Tribulation Qi emanating from within the clouds made him feel somewhat apprehensive.

At this level of Tribulation Qi, if it were to descend upon him at this moment, he would instantly be turned into ash with no chance of survival.

Before he could contemplate further, a figure soared from the mountain peak towards the southwest, moving so swiftly that in the blink of an eye it was tens of thousands of miles away.

The dense tribulation clouds overhead followed suit, sweeping across the sky above Taixuan City and rolling towards the southwest.

Geng Yiyang's fleeing speed was so fast that Chu Zheng could only barely keep up by controlling the Star-shatter Shuttle.

Only after half a day did Geng Yiyang finally halt his flight, surrounded by a vast ocean, devoid of human traces, where external forces would have no effect. Your journey continues with M-V-L

Chu Zheng did not approach too closely, standing hundreds of thousands of miles away, observing Geng Yiyang's aura with his Spiritual Eye.

At this moment, the energy within Geng Yiyang was extremely unstable, like the waves beneath his feet, continuously undulating.

Boom—

The clouds in the sky did not allow Geng Yiyang much time to prepare. After a short while worthy of a tea break, a bolt of lightning nearly ten yards thick ferociously crashed down.

The speed of the lightning was so fast that even with Chu Zheng's eyesight, he saw only a glimpse of an afterimage. In the next instant, a massive wave of energy had already swept over.

Even from hundreds of thousands of miles away, Chu Zheng still felt an overwhelming colossal strength, taking several steps back before he could stabilize his stance.

The Immortal Tribulation Realm was four great realms higher than his current level. If he were any closer, he might have been injured.

Once he had regained his senses, Chu Zheng looked up to see a mass of Divine Fire fiercely burning in the void, vaguely forming into a crimson dragon, filled with intimidating heat. The seawater near the surface had already begun to boil, producing large amounts of steam.

Noticing that Geng Yiyang's aura had surged, Chu Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, a flicker of joy passing through his eyes.

In the early stages of the Immortal Tribulation, one must endure three Heavenly Tribulations. With this first strike, only a single bolt of heavenly lightning was needed to be endured to begin the transformation into an Immortal Body and cultivate a strand of Immortal Qi.

No matter how strong Geng Yiyang's cultivation was, with his lifespan nearly depleted and his strength diminished to less than seventy percent, Chu Zheng had been uncertain about his ability to withstand the Heavenly Tribulation.

Now that the heavenly lightning had fallen, it was set in stone.

As the Divine Fire gradually dissipated, Geng Yiyang's energy soared, and faintly within him, the aura of an Immortal began to take shape.

Just as Chu Zheng was about to step forward, a sudden sense of alarm flashed through his mind, and he abruptly looked up, his expression drastically changing.

Despite one bolt of lightning passing, the tribulation clouds in the sky did not disperse. The Tribulation Qi grew heavier, and after rolling around for a moment, began to gestate lightning once again.

Instantly, Chu Zheng realized that having lingered at the peak of the Tongxuan Realm for so long, Geng Yiyang faced more than just a single bolt in his tribulation. This was due to his considerable backlog of potential.

Soon, another bolt of lightning descended with even greater ferocity, striking like a heavy hammer and instantly plunging Geng Yiyang deep into the sea.

Boom!

The strike stirred up huge waves for thousands of miles on the ocean's surface, with water surging skyward, washing over the heavens, and numerous Sea Demons caught in the tumultuous waves were carried along with the tide, tossed into the Nine Heavens.

Having no choice, Chu Zheng retreated another thousand miles away. Before he could get a clear view, another bolt of lightning crashed down from the tribulation clouds, displaying a terrifying divine might.

After a while, the tribulation clouds slowly dispersed, and the blue sky became clear and bright.

Chu Zheng hurriedly stepped forward, rushing directly towards the center of the tribulation area.

A figure sat cross-legged above the sea, the surrounding water for tens of thousands of miles was smoothed out by an unseen hand, sleek as a mirror.

After withstanding three successive bolts of heavenly lightning, Geng Yiyang's cultivation had completely stabilized in the early stages of the Immortal Tribulation Realm. The Immortal Power within him had reached a certain magnitude, which was several times stronger than the average cultivator who had recently entered the Immortal Tribulation.
