Qi Cultivation Starting from the Repair Panel

Within the Fairy Palace, encapsulating the universe, existed a small Cave Heaven World. A huge radiant screen was suspended in midair, dividing into thousands of frames that reflected the arenas.

A century passed, covering a vast span. Among the younger prodigies, many were destined never to rank high on the Hidden Dragon List and could only combat opponents of similar age.

However, this rule applied only to ordinary cultivators outside of the Holy Lands and great noble families.

Within the families of the Holy Lands, and amongst the common True Immortal Noble Families, the timing of childbirth was often aligned with auspicious celestial alignments. If the timing was off, they would delay the birth to control the bone age.

Sometimes, they would let a woman carry a child for as long as ten years. Some children were born able to speak human languages, exhibiting precocity from within the womb and entering the world with Enlightenment and even pre-established cultivation levels.

Therefore, most prodigies from the Holy Lands and True Immortal Noble Families on the list had a bone age of at least between eighty and ninety-nine years.

This was an inherent disparity, and the top rankings on the list were mostly dominated by the Holy Lands and these families.

About half an hour later, figures gradually appeared on the screens showing the arenas, supervised by judges, and the grand tournament began.

The judges of the tournament were also from the Biluo Sect.

In the Cangyun Realm, this was an absolute neutral force backed by the Five Great Holy Lands, and no cultivator would question the fairness of Biluo Sect.

The Great Tournament of Ten Thousand Sects was extremely perilous, but the real danger lay in the journey to the tournament. Surviving the journey to Wanlong City meant overcoming the most challenging hurdle.

The combats in the tournament naturally resulted in injuries and death, but there were cultivators on the side to control the arena, preserving life in all but the most extreme circumstances.

In past tournaments, besides the one destined for the top of the Hidden Dragon List, the first ranked individuals from the Spirit Spring Realm, Entry Dao Realm, and Soul Condensing Realm would receive a substantial reward consisting of Spiritual Objects contributed by each of the Five Great Holy Lands.

This session saw some changes, besides the top of the Hidden Dragon List already being designated for Chu Zheng, there was now a prize for the first ranked in the Divine Infant Realm.

Chu Zheng's gaze searched the screen briefly and soon located the Taixuan disciples.

The young Taixuan disciples were mainly participating for the experience. Their opponents were mostly peers, thus naturally avoiding elite competitors from the great Holy Lands and heirs of True Immortal Families, resulting in more wins than losses.

After watching for a moment, Chu Zheng gradually relaxed and began searching for Song Lingqing's whereabouts.

Soon, he made a discovery. Your journey continues with empire

In the year he was in seclusion, Song Lingqing's cultivation had ascended further. He had entered the Late Stage of Entry Dao Realm, flagrantly marking himself among his peers and qualifying to contend for the top position in the Entry Dao Realm.

On the screen, Song Lingqing, holding a Spirit Sword, with sword light like rain around him, outmaneuvered his opponent in just two rounds. With the sword pointing directly at his opponent's throat, the intervention of a ringside judge halted the combat, granting him an effortless victory.

His actions were crisp and decisive, showing in these years, he had frequently engaged in combative spells, building a solid foundation.

After a while, Chu Zheng felt no desire to watch further and turned to leave.

Such lower-level cultivator combats were useless to him, merely a waste of time. He had much to attend to and could not afford to linger.

The two envoys from the Martial Hall did not leave. They stared at the screen, engrossed, savoring a scene they rarely encountered.

Bai Zhixiao watched Chu Zheng's departing figure, seemingly making a certain decision, his gaze as calm as water, he, too, turned and left the Fairy Palace.

...

...

Upon leaving the Fairy Palace, Bai Zhixiao made his way back to Tai Xu Holy Land station and entered a secret chamber at random, closing out the external array and isolating all disturbances.

Then, he took out a Jade Wall and infused it with immortal power to activate it.

Moments later, a light door emerged with slight ripples, faintly projecting a beautiful silhouette.

Shortly after, the soft light condensed into a water mirror reflecting a lush landscape of ancient woods.

A woman with red lips and white teeth lay on the branches of the ancient tree, with green hair flowing over her shoulders and skin pale as snow.

Upon seeing the figure in the mirror, Bai Zhixiao took a deep breath and bowed respectfully:

"Cangyun Realm, master of Tai Xu Holy Land, Bai Zhixiao, greeting the Dongsheng Demon Immortal."

"Who do I have here, it's you..."

The woman, appearing leisurely, stretched languidly and sat up. Her legs were long, her waist slender and enticingly exquisite, emanating an indescribable captivating charm. Her eyebrows slightly raised, she sized up Bai Zhixiao a few times, and said with interest, "The matter I discussed with you the other day, have you agreed to it?"

Bai Zhixiao nodded firmly, solemnly saying, "As instructed by the Demon Immortal, it is my duty. After dealing with Chu Zheng, I will also welcome the Demon Race back to the Cangyun Realm to take control of the Northern Region again."

"Later, I will send two Demon Emperors from the Immortal Tribulation Realm to secretly enter the realm. The three of you together should find it not difficult to kill him."

Hearing this, the Dongsheng Demon Immortal smiled faintly, "The Human Race has a saying, 'A wise man submits to circumstances.' The Taixu Saint Lord should be such a wise man."

"Demon Immortal, this matter is significant, and we still need to plan extensively."

Bai Zhixiao's face showed no joy, and he said in a low voice, "Chu Zheng is now favored by the Immortal Alliance. If it's from the Immortal Alliance's side..."

"I'll handle the Immortal Alliance's side, no need for you to worry. In a few more days, I'm afraid you might die by his hand."

The Dongsheng Demon Immortal casually broke a branch and plucked off its lush green leaves one by one, saying nonchalantly:

"I have already inquired. Chu Zheng possesses the Yin Yang Immortal Bone, and after entering the True Immortal Realm, he will surely advance rapidly into the Seven Tribulations True Immortal, which is almost certain, and by then, I may not necessarily be his match. It's better to deal with him earlier to ease the mind."

"You are perhaps unaware, Demon Immortal, that Chu Zheng is the top contender of this session's Great Tournament of Ten Thousand Sects in the Cangyun Realm, and according to past traditions, he is to be directly admitted into the Immortal Alliance..."

Bai Zhixiao looked somewhat hesitant, his gaze flickering uncertainly.

Had it not been for this reason, he would have taken action himself long ago.

Taking action against a True Immortal Seed favored by the Immortal Alliance was too risky; he needed some assurances.

"Put away your tricks. I will not take back what I've said. After the deed is done, I will reward you with a Lower Quality Immortal Treasure. Don't worry about the Immortal Alliance's side, it's just a lowlife from Cangyun."

The Dongsheng Demon Immortal's expression became slightly stern: "Talk more nonsense, and I will find someone else."

If Chu Zheng had come from any other Great Realm, not only would she not act against him, but despite past grievances, she would even have been willing to pay a huge cost to make amends with him, because the talent Chu Zheng displayed was truly too astonishing.

Unfortunately, Chu Zheng came from the Cangyun Realm, a group incapable of assimilating Immortal Blood, without the qualifications to become Immortal Descendants, at most reaching True Immortal Perfection, insignificant for the Immortal Alliance.

Otherwise, with the talent Chu Zheng now displayed, there would be no need for him to participate in the childish game of the Great Tournament of Ten Thousand Sects; he would have already been brought into the Great Immortal Realm for personal instruction by an Immortal King.

With her years of connections within the Immortal Alliance, suppressing this matter wouldn't take much effort at all.

"Calm your anger, Demon Immortal."

Hearing this, Bai Zhixiao said no more, bowing deeply.

The water mirror shattered, transformed back into a mass of soft light, and finally solidified into the original Jade Wall.

Staring at the Jade Wall in his hands, Bai Zhixiao lingered for a long time, and finally turned to leave.

To kill Chu Zheng, he would have to make comprehensive arrangements. Striking on Chu Zheng's way back to Taixuan was the best choice.

At that time, the Immortal Treasure located at the Taixuan Holy Land would be too far to react in time.

...

...

After leaving the Fairy Palace, Chu Zheng found Song Lingxue amidst the crowd and together they headed back to the residence of the Taixuan Holy Land.

Now, the residence of the Taixuan Holy Land was covered with streams of colorful lights.

In just a short moment, Chu Zheng received countless invitations, varied in nature, each with different content.

There were proposals for disciple alliances through marriage, gifts, and many who wanted to send their children to the Taixuan Holy Land, inquiring when Chu Zheng would next open the Sect Gate.

The last time Taixuan reopened its Sect Gate was nearly six years ago, and according to normal practice, the next opening should be planned in advance.
