Qi Cultivation Starting from the Repair Panel

Cultivating an Eighth Order living being is no easy task, at least far more precious than the ordinary Life Stars.

Once cultivation reached the Eighth Order, the disparity in combat power between them was huge, yet the energy contained within their bodies was truly terrifying.

However, with the presence of Immortal Qi as a barrier, even if cultivators from the Myriad Realms killed a True Immortal, the flesh, blood, and Immortal Treasures of the True Immortal were of no use to them, and vice versa.

Ultimately, these energies, as time passed, would return to their respective Taoist Orthodoxy in other ways; even if a war was lost, only a small part of Heavenly Fate was lost, preventing greater losses.

After digesting this information, Chu Zheng had gained a new perspective on the current state of the Great Universe.

The existence of these Taoist energies was the real reason why the current power dynamics of the various factions of the Great Universe could barely maintain stability.

If a war could not plunder sufficient resources, then it was a business with a total loss of blood and treasure.

Therefore, all parties were very cautious.

Nie Longhu had once told him that the wars between the Myriad Heavens and Realms and the Immortal Alliance Martial Hall were getting bigger, suggesting a battle that would determine the fate of the universe, likely for these reasons as well.

The struggle for Heavenly Fate, once started, had to be fought to the end with no room for compromise.

All living beings from other Taoist Orthodoxy must be slaughtered, and all Heavenly Fate must be seized to dominate all paths and completely eliminate future troubles.

However... for Chu Zheng, who had acquired Return to the Origin, no matter which faction's Taoist Orthodoxy he faced as an enemy, he would benefit.

Immortal Qi and Primordial Qi, in his hands, had no distinction; they would ultimately become the root force of the Great Universe.

What puzzled Chu Zheng slightly was that the power extracted from the remains of creatures from the Myriad Realms was Primordial Qi.

From this, it seemed that the current situation of the Myriad Realms was how the Great Universe should naturally be.

The current power of the Immortal Alliance was closely related to the existence of Immortal Qi; by extension, the Martial Hall must be the same.

Chu Zheng snapped out of his contemplation and brought up his own panel.

[Name: Chu Zheng]

[Cultivation: Qi Refinement: Mid-Stage of Golden Core Realm, Immortal Path: Initial Stage of Tongxuan Realm]

[Root Bone: Yin Yang Immortal Bone (Superior Quality), Five Elements Spiritual Body]

[Cultivation Technique: Eternal Calamity Treasure Record (Tenth Order), Taixuan Divine Fire Scripture (Eighth Order)...]

[Divine Skills: Return to the Origin (Tenth Order), Qi Gathering and Heaven Repairing (Ninth Order), Qilin Transformation (Eighth Order), Heavenly Escaping Five Elements Technique (Eighth Order), Tai Yuan Dragon Sword Dance (Eighth Order), Five Thunder Righteous Law (Sixth Order), Slaughter Blood Descending Dragon Technique (Sixth Order), Space Condensing Art (Sixth Order)...]

[Talent: Spiritual Eye (Fourth Order), Soul Capturing (Sixth Order), Sky Roaming (Sixth Order), Soul Snatching (Sixth Order)]

[Repair Master: Seventh Rank (0/16000)]

[Remaining Repairs for the Day: 1]

[Current Repairable:...]

Looking at the remaining number of repairs, Chu Zheng's brows furrowed. His daily repair allowance should still count in the dozens.

Looking at the chain of experiences after becoming a Seventh Rank Repairer, Chu Zheng felt a slight headache and gently deliberated before flipping his palm and taking out a half-man-height Golden Great Bow.

The bow was covered with mottled marks left by time, and the bowstring was broken,

[Falling Star Bow (Seventh Rank/Incomplete): An exceptional Semi-Immortal Treasure, the bowstring snapped and body cracked, Immortal Patterns broken, repairable (0/3)]

[Detailed information: An immensely powerful Semi-Immortal Treasure, severely damaged, requires three strands of Immortal Qi for repairs.]

This Semi-Immortal Treasure was obtained from the Cangyun Secret Realm; when initially acquired, the panel indicated that it was irreparable, but now repairs were achievable, albeit with some conditions.

The reason was not difficult to understand.

The source of the panel's operation was the absorption of nature's spiritual energy, but once the rank reached the Seventh Order, traces of various Taoist Orthodoxy appeared, which could no longer be compensated by nature's spiritual energy.

Seventh Order marked the beginning of transformation, where beings would be permanently branded with the mark of the Taoist Orthodoxy, indelible.

Chu Zheng did not hesitate, took the Immortal Qi he had gathered from that piece of Damaged Immortal Bone, activated the panel, and infused it into the Falling Star Bow.

The body of the Falling Star Bow emitted a faint glow, and many of the mottled marks faded away.

Chu Zheng heaved a sigh of relief, as long as it could be repaired, it was not a big deal.

He glanced at the panel, the daily refresh of repair opportunities had already returned to zero.

Clearly, to repair something above the Seventh Order, not only was Immortal Qi needed, but also repair opportunities.

Upon entering the role of a Seventh Rank Repairer, Chu Zheng could distinctly feel that the panel was restricted.

This restriction was not from the panel itself, but from his own body, and possibly, it was limited by the environment of this world.

The environment of Cangyun Realm could only be considered ordinary after all.

The "Great Immortal Realm" mentioned by the Immortal Alliance was the real vast world capable of nurturing entities that surpassed the Immortal Kings.

There, the panel should give him some new surprises.

However, with his current condition, unless he completely abandoned his Qi Refinement's Cultivation, going to the Great Immortal Realm would mean seeking death.

Chu Zheng once again conjured an aura, extracted from the remains of myriad realm beings, which was Primordial Qi.

He wanted to try if he could transform this Primordial Qi into Immortal Qi by using the Return to the Source technique.

After a series of attempts, Chu Zheng had to give up reluctantly; it simply did not work or, to put it another way, with his current strength, reversing it was too difficult.

After pondering for a long time, Chu Zheng took out the True Immortal flesh and fragments of Immortal Treasures he had obtained from the extraterrestrial battlefield earlier.

The Immortal Qi required to repair Immortal Treasures was even more astounding, ranging from a hundred to several thousand.

After selecting carefully, Chu Zheng chose a piece of flesh, operated the Qi Gathering and Heaven Repairing technique, and after spending several days, extracted a strand of Immortal Qi.

He began the attempt again, and this time, the Return to the Source worked; after several days, the Immortal Qi successfully transformed into Primordial Qi.

Having reached this step, Chu Zheng immediately stopped experimenting. The conversion from Immortal Qi to Primordial Qi was, for now, a one-way flow in his case and could not be wasted arbitrarily.

Fragments of Immortal Treasures and True Immortal flesh were not easy to come by; within the territories of the Immortal Alliance, unless something significant happened, cultivators of the Immortal Tribulation Secret Realm would rarely face any disturbances.

The previous situation in the Cangyun Realm was ultimately an exception.

Places with plenty of Fragments of Immortal Treasures and True Immortal flesh were only the battlefields of the Myriad Heavens and Realms and the cosmic borderland adjacent to the Vast Universe mentioned by Zhao Tingxian.

Chu Zheng continued to extract Immortal Qi and repair Immortal Treasures. Currently, it was somewhat strenuous for him, but the Falling Star Bow just fit the bill.

With such a Semi-Immortal Treasure to protect him, the cultivators from Cangyun Realm entering the Immortal Tribulation Secret Realm could hardly trouble him.

As for the Sect-Defending Immortal Treasures of the Holy Lands, Taixuan was not without them.

After spending nearly half a month, Chu Zheng once again extracted two strands of Immortal Qi, using the repair panel, he completely repaired the Falling Star Bow.

The giant bow, wrapped in golden divine radiance, was cleansed of all dust, emitting a wave of Immortal Spirit fluctuations from within, which began communicating with Chu Zheng's Divine Sense without any resistance.

A Tongxuan Spiritual Treasure already possessed a spirit, having an intelligence not weaker than a human's; naturally, a Semi-Immortal Treasure was even more superior.

Before completely repairing the Falling Star Bow, Chu Zheng began tempering and refining it with his own Essence Blood to establish a connection.

The Spiritual Perception of the Falling Star Bow did not show much resistance; it had been damaged in a great battle, and its previous master had died.

Moreover, it understood that Chu Zheng had fully repaired it, granting it a second life, which was an act of re-creation.

The thoughts of an Immortal Treasure spirit were not so complicated; at this moment, in its eyes, Chu Zheng was no different from the Weapon Forging Master who had originally crafted it.

The completely repaired Falling Star Bow did not disappoint Chu Zheng in terms of power; with his current strength, along with the assistance of its internal Immortal Spirit, he could shoot two arrows.

According to the Immortal Spirit, without a Semi-Immortal Treasure for protection, any cultivator below the Five Tribulations in the Immortal Tribulation would undoubtedly die.

However, the only regret was that this Semi-Immortal Treasure did not have the capability to fight on its own; it was still just a weapon.

In this respect, it was quite inferior compared to a Tongxuan Spiritual Treasure.

Chu Zheng continued to store the Falling Star Bow within his body for nurturing and bent his head back to extracting Immortal Qi.

Days later, a transmission interrupted his activity.

The Great Tournament of Ten Thousand Sects was about to officially begin.
