Qi Cultivation Starting from the Repair Panel

"You've entered the Tongxuan Realm?"

As their gazes met, a sudden shock flashed through Bai Zhixiao's eyes.

In the past year, Wanlong City had been tranquil without any disturbances, and the Hidden Dragon List had not seen any changes for a long time. In recent days, few within the Holy Lands paid much attention to it.

Therefore, very few people were aware of Chu Zheng stepping into the Tongxuan Realm at this moment.

Hearing Bai Zhixiao's voice, all the people around him were momentarily stunned and then, noticing the unobstructed aura beside Chu Zheng, expressions of similar astonishment flooded their faces after they'd reacted.

The Tongxuan Realm, Pseudo-Immortal! Even past masters of Holy Lands had not transcended this realm.

Among the various Holy Lands, Tongxuan Cultivators belonged to the absolute peak. At present, such individuals were mostly waging war in battlefields beyond their domain, with very few remaining in the Cangyun Realm.

Chu Zheng's cultivation had utterly surpassed theirs, making him a genuine Holy Master-level figure!

Bai Zhixiao felt a chill in his heart. Among those present, he undoubtedly knew Chu Zheng the best, having personally investigated all information about him.

It had been no more than ten years since Chu Zheng embarked on the Immortal Path, just a mere decade!

Ten years to reach Tongxuan Realm—even Zhao Tingxian in the past did not possess such a terrifying progress rate. From the Divine Infant stage to the Tongxuan Realm, he had taken nearly a hundred years. Had there ever been such speed?

Could it be that this man was on course to become an Immortal within a century?!

'A monster, he must surely be a monster!'

Bai Zhixiao inwardly let out a fierce cry, fingers trembling slightly within his sleeve, and a wave of fear involuntarily rose in his heart.

It was not that he was wary of Chu Zheng's cultivation but that such a terrifying speed of cultivation had utterly overturned his understanding.

Even the most monstrous talents should not be able to defy common sense like this, yet as his cultivation level rose his progression speed seemed to become even faster!

For a moment, the area in front of the Fairy Palace fell into an eerie silence.

"Taixuan Holy Master, truly worthy of being the top of the Hidden Dragon List of the Cangyun Realm, is indeed exceptional," Xie Xingzhong said with a loud laugh, breaking the silence, "The younger generation is to be feared. With such a prodigy emerging in the Immortal Path, how can we worry about its decline?"

Originally, Chu Zheng had helped him to heal his old injuries, enabling him to step into the Martial Half-Saint realm. He owed Chu Zheng a great favor, so seeing him advance rapidly in cultivation, his heart was filled with joy.

The others around gradually came to their senses, offering their congratulations with bowed heads and unconsciously adopting a more humble posture.

"Congratulations to the Taixuan Holy Master for stepping into the Tongxuan Secret Realm, crossing the tribulation to become an Immortal, the day is but near at hand!"

"Congratulations to the Taixuan Holy Master for entering Tongxuan, making another stride on the Immortal Path, Taixuan shall thrive!"

Chu Zheng gazed at Bai Zhixiao, his expression showing neither joy nor anger, and he raised his hand to gesture,

"It's just a stroke of luck for the time being, you all flatter me too much. On the Immortal Path, you are all my seniors, there's no need for such courtesy."

Bai Zhixiao calmed his emotions and spoke indifferently, "Now that the Taixuan Holy Master has arrived and everyone is present, let's begin the opening ceremony."

As his words ended, he walked forward slowly, preparing to ascend the platform in front of the Fairy Palace.

"Taixu Holy Master, please wait a moment."

An elderly man in his late fifties who wore an earthy yellow vestment robe from the Primordial Spirit Holy Land, stemming from the same lineage as Shang Zuling, spoke out with a deep voice.

Now, aside from Bai Zhixiao and Chu Zheng, the other Holy Masters were mostly away in foreign domains. This elder, whose cultivation had entered Tongxuan, was evidently the current authority of the Primordial Spirit Holy Land.

"Shang Liangyi? What's the matter?"

Interrupted so abruptly, Bai Zhixiao frowned slightly, showing a bit of impatience.

His composure had been disturbed by the news of Chu Zheng entering the Tongxuan Realm, losing the steadiness he usually maintained, with a hint of irritation in his tone.

"The Taixuan Holy Master is the leader of the Hidden Dragon List of our Cangyun Realm, the strongest prodigy of our generation, and a master of one of the Holy Lands. Why not have the Taixuan Holy Master preside over this opening ceremony? What do you think?"

Shang Liangyi's expression was calm, with not the slightest ripple, but his words were shocking.

Hearing this, the people around exchanged glances, their faces filled with hesitation.

To preside over the opening ceremony was to act as the host for the Great Tournament of Ten Thousand Sects, a role of extraordinary significance.

This event gathered the attention of all forces from the Cangyun Four Regions and would affect the rise and fall of various powers for a century or even a millennium.

To preside at such an occasion often signified the position of the number one person in the Cangyun Realm.

Bai Zhixiao, whether in terms of cultivation or status, could indeed be regarded as the number one person in the Cangyun Realm.

However, Shang Liangyi's words seemed rather thought-provoking, as this was tantamount to sending a signal to choose sides.

Standing on the side of Taixuan Holy Land, or Tai Xu Holy Land.

Shang Liangyi's straightforward words instantly made the atmosphere of the venue tense as a drawn sword.

"Shang Liangyi, you really think highly of yourself," Bai Zhixiao's mouth twitched with a hint of a smile, but his eyes were frosty cold.

Calling him out and then suggesting that Chu Zheng replace him on the stage?

This was a great humiliation! How could Shang Liangyi dare to do so?!

With his current level of cultivation, he could crush him with a single finger!

"The Taixu Saint Lord takes it too seriously, we are all old folks who have aged, this era should naturally be handed over to the young."

Sensing the murderous intent hidden in Bai Zhixiao's eyes, Shang Liangyi's expression remained calm, and with a hint of confusion he said:

"Now that several Holy Masters are battling beyond the territories, and you are the only one who has returned to Cangyun, aren't you here to enjoy your twilight years? Wouldn't it be good to save some effort?"

Several gasps of shock immediately arose from the surroundings, his words casually laced with mockery, sarcastically suggesting that Bai Zhixiao was afraid of death and greedy for life, nearly tearing off all pretenses.

Upon hearing this, Bai Zhixiao quickly withdrew from his anger, regained his composure, and looked at Shang Liangyi:

"Is this the intention of the Primordial Spirit Holy Land?"

If no one had instructed him, Shang Liangyi would never dare to act like this, it seems that the Primordial Spirit Saint Lord had given him some instructions on the battlefield beyond the territories.

This included, perhaps, getting on good terms with Chu Zheng.

"Nowadays, I hold power in the Primordial Spirit Holy Land, my words naturally represent the intentions of the Primordial Spirit Holy Land."

Shang Liangyi did not retreat a bit, stepped forward, and said in a deep voice, "Taixuan Holy Master's talent is evident to all, he should naturally preside over the opening ceremony of this event."

As his voice fell, his gaze swept across the crowd: "What say you all?"

He didn't give anyone a chance to catch their breath, forcing the crowd to make an immediate decision.

It was common knowledge that Taixuan Holy Land and Tai Xu Holy Land were already at odds, like fire and water.

To disagree now was to be an enemy of Chu Zheng, and to agree was to risk offending Tai Xu Holy Land, as well as Bai Zhixiao.

As for how to choose... the decision couldn't be easier.

Chu Zheng was not yet of age, and if Bai Zhixiao hadn't entered the Immortal Tribulation Secret Realm due to heavenly anomalies, he'd be nearing the end of his life by now, his potential quite visible.

The weight of these two options had long been clear in the hearts of those present.

"The Eastern Territory Song Clan, agrees."

"Heavenly Throne Holy Land, agrees."

"Jinli Holy Land, agrees."

...

In an instant, nearly seventy percent of those in power from various factions stood on Chu Zheng's side.

The remaining thirty percent, also didn't speak out in favor of Tai Xu Holy Land, but stood aside with awkward smiles, choosing not to help either side.

Bai Zhixiao swept his gaze across the crowd, adjusted his cuffs, cleared the path, and said lightly, "Tai Xu Holy Land also agrees."

After speaking, he calmly urged, "Taixuan Holy Master, please take the stage, don't miss the auspicious time."

In full view of everyone, Bai Zhixiao made the choice to bow down without a moment's hesitation, demonstrating the quality of being adaptable, able to bend and stretch fully.

From beginning to end, Chu Zheng stood quietly to one side, his thoughts not much stirred, his mind already wandering beyond the Nine Heavens.

In his eyes, this Great Tournament of Ten Thousand Sects already had little significance.

Shang Liangyi showed a trace of a smile on his face, looked at Chu Zheng, and gestured with his hand: "Please, Taixuan Holy Master, ascend the stage as soon as possible."

Chu Zheng came back to his senses, apologized with a bow: "I am flattered by the high esteem of the elders, and I will not decline."

He wasn't particularly concerned about the significance of taking the stage, just thinking of getting it over and done with swiftly, not to waste time.

The next instant, Chu Zheng's figure had already appeared on the high platform, standing in front of the red jade chair.

His gaze wandered around the surroundings, quickly spotting a somewhat familiar figure.

Song Lingqing.
