Qi Cultivation Starting from the Repair Panel

"Gathering the fate of an entire realm to nurture one individual, depleting the origin of a realm to provide True Immortal Seeds for the Immortal Alliance, all these were the ideas of that Cangyun Immortal King. Can you expect him to have any affection for this homeland?"

"Not to mention you, but even his own descendants and closest kin, many have perished in the cosmic wastelands over the years, and there's no word of him ever lending a hand."

At this point, the Dongsheng Demon Immortal couldn't help shaking her head, her eyes unable to conceal her wariness. A person so cold to the bone, with no weaknesses to speak of, would not care about the life or death of others.

Perhaps, it was precisely because of this that Shang Cangyun was able to advance so quickly on the Immortal Path, breaking through with vigor, even shattering the shackles that a Cangyun could not become an Immortal Venerable and writing a legendary chapter.

Shang Cangyun, today, has become a giant among Immortal Kings, occupying the position of a Heavenly Judge, and in the future, he even has the potential to become an Immortal Path Emperor. Discover hidden stories at empire

Such a character is rarely seen even in the Great Immortal Realm.

Hearing Dongsheng Demon Immortal's words, Chu Zheng's thoughts stirred, and a look of surprise couldn't be concealed in his eyes. He knew very little about Shang Cangyun.

In his previous life, when he spoke with Zhao Tingxian in the Divine Court, Zhao Tingxian mentioned that he and Shang Cangyun were on the same path.

Both of them came from Cangyun, breaking through their own bloodline constraints to become Immortal Venerables and even Immortal Kings.

According to Zhao Tingxian, the secrets behind this were likely associated with the cosmic wastelands.

Shang Cangyun facilitated the Great Tournament of Ten Thousand Sects, using the fate of a realm to nurture True Immortal Seeds—evidently harboring ulterior motives.

"Chu Zheng, your talent is indeed not bad. Although a descendant of Cangyun, you might achieve something significant in the future."

Before Chu Zheng could think deeply, Dongsheng Demon Immortal spoke with a hint of regret, "If you do not wish to die today, recognize me as your master. All your past offenses up to now, I can overlook. How about it?"

She began to feel a sense of cherishing talent. Even if Chu Zheng couldn't reach the realm of an Immortal Venerable and only achieved True Immortal Perfection, he would still be a power to be reckoned with in the Immortal Alliance. If she could bring him under her command, he would certainly be of great use in the future.

Hum—

Her answer came in the form of a streak of blood-red blade light.

The Blood Transforming Blade emerged from within Chu Zheng's dantian, unleashing a long-accumulated slash.

The blood-red blade aura surged upon encountering the wind, aiming straight for Dongsheng Demon Immortal. Along its path, it severed fragments of starlight.

Dongsheng Demon Immortal's brow furrowed slightly, and her figure vanished in an instant. The ancient branches, sturdy as Immortal Gold and Divine Iron, could not withstand the slash of the Blood Transforming Blade and were cut down in a flash.

The remnant blade light swept across the galaxy, causing nearly a hundred meteors to explode and turn to ashes.

A snap of the fingers to annihilate stars, such is the might of an Immortal Treasure, and even a Lower Quality one possesses incredible power.

"A mere Tongxuan, you've actually refined this blade?!"

Emerging from the void, Dongsheng Demon Immortal's expression was tinged with shock.

Upon seeing the Blood Transforming Blade, she couldn't help being somewhat astonished. She never imagined that with Chu Zheng's meager cultivation, he could actually make an Immortal Treasure bow down and even activate it.

"What method did you use?" Dongsheng Demon Immortal's shout echoed, her eyes filled with wariness.

At this moment, she wasn't so certain anymore whether there might be other Immortal Treasures on Chu Zheng.

Some Top Quality Immortal Treasures were much stronger than her, and if only there was enough Immortal Jade to activate them, they could wield incredible power, even enough to slay her.

If Chu Zheng had other Immortal Treasures at his side, today might pose no small trouble.

Chu Zheng remained silent, merely looking coldly at Dongsheng Demon Immortal, the chill in his eyes growing more intense.

The quality of the Blood Transforming Blade after all was too low; even with the element of surprise, it could not injure a Seven Tribulations Demon Immortal.

Seeing Chu Zheng remain mute, Dongsheng Demon Immortal hesitated for a moment, a trace of murderous intent flashing in her eyes. Without further hesitation, she extended a probing hand towards Chu Zheng.

If there were stronger Immortal Treasures, Chu Zheng would likely not have resorted to using the Blood Transforming Blade just now.

A verdant divine light shot out from Dongsheng Demon Immortal's hand, stretching forth a splendid path of heaven, upon which countless immortal blossoms and strange grasses thrived.

In haste, Chu Zheng could only summon the Blood Transforming Blade again, placing it in front of him.

Clang!

The moment it touched the verdant divine light, the Blood Transforming Blade trembled violently, recoiling as if struck by lightning, and whirled back surrounded by a fierce gale.

Chu Zheng's expression changed as a suit of armor bathed in resplendent Immortal Light appeared upon his body—none other than Bai Zhixiao's Semi-Immortal Treasure level Immortal Armor.

Crack—

The Immortal Armor shattered bit by bit, even with a Semi-Immortal Treasure for protection, it couldn't resist the enormous strength remaining on the Blood Transforming Blade.

Chu Zheng was sent flying millions of miles away by the impact, blood spraying forth as the Five Elements Immortal Root within his dantian shook violently, suffering grave damage.

The repair panel worked strenuously, taking several breaths before stabilizing his injuries, gradually recovering to their original state.

Seeing this, Dongsheng Demon Immortal couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, a light sneer escaping her lips:

"Just this much."

Just as she was about to advance, suddenly a low whisper came from above her head.

"Cease your hand."

Endless Immortal Light descended from the starry vault above, spanning across the sea of stars, and formed into a silhouette.

The moment Dongsheng Demon Immortal made out the features of the figure, her fingertips trembled, and she immediately bowed deeply in a grand gesture of respect, with cold sweat seeping onto her pale complexion.

"Greetings, Heavenly Judge!"

In the distant starry sky, Chu Zheng looked up, and upon recognizing the projection, he couldn't help but feel a jolt in his heart.

The person was shrouded in Immortal Light, and with his current cultivation, he couldn't see through it—it was like staring directly at the sun. If he looked slightly longer, a sharp pain would strike his pupils and risk being scorched.

However, he had felt this aura before, as Geng Yiyang had once brought back the Shadow Retention Wall, which contained many records of the battles in the outer realms.

The aura of that Immortal King's projection was particularly memorable to him, identical to the figure before him now.

The Immortal King, Shang Cangyun, the youngest Heavenly Judge of the Immortal Alliance!

How could this be?!

Dongsheng Yu bowed her head, unable to hide some unease in her heart; she couldn't understand why Shang Cangyun would appear here at this moment.

Just now, Shang Cangyun had commanded her to stop her hand, and it was very likely that he had come specifically for Chu Zheng.

But how could that be possible?!

While Chu Zheng indeed had monstrous talent, Shang Cangyun was known for his blood-cold ruthlessness. How could he possibly project himself here and even speak in defense of him?

"The Demon Race colluding with the Myriad Realms, leading to consecutive defeats on the frontlines, and in this critical period, you still dare to act recklessly and harm an Immortal Seed. Are you so eager to ascend the Immortal Slaying Stage?"

Shang Cangyun spoke in an even tone, void of any killing intent, yet the message conveyed made Dongsheng Yu break into a sweat, as she quickly spoke up:

"This lowly demon harbors no such intentions! Chu Zheng committed a grave error, and I was merely enforcing the Immortal Alliance's penal code by capturing him to face punishment as prescribed by the law, hoping the Heavenly Judge would see the truth!"

As she spoke, she lifted her head somewhat frantically and added in a rush:

"My actions today were indeed rash, losing all sense of propriety. I beg for your forgiveness!"

"Without the Heavenly Judge's order or authorization from the Punishment Authority, what gives you the right to capture an Immortal Seed for questioning? And to inflict harm on him?"

Shang Cangyun's tone remained steady, without a trace of disturbance:

"Who gave you the audacity to issue false commands?"

"I acknowledge my mistake!"

Dongsheng Yu's face became even more terror-stricken, bowing deeply:

"I implore the Cangyun Immortal King for forgiveness, please show leniency, perhaps for the sake of Fan Long Immortal King's face, grant me a sliver of grace today..."

"What standing have you to speak of grace in my presence?"

Shang Cangyun's eyelids drooped slightly, his expression unruffled as he spoke indifferently:

"But a mere plaything, does Fan Long know of your so presumptuous pride?"

Dongsheng Yu's complexion drained of color, speechless.

If it were any ordinary Immortal King, today she might be able to cling to her connections for some chance of survival, but it had to be Shang Cangyun.

He was the youngest Heavenly Judge of the Immortal Alliance, a supreme figure anticipated to ascend to the rank of Immortal Path Emperor in the future, and she was in no position to provoke him.

How could such a personage intervene over some trivial matter or person.

Unless...

Dongsheng Yu's eyelids suddenly widened, her head still bowed, careful not to reveal even the slightest hint of anomaly.

Unless Chu Zheng also possessed the potential to break Cangyun's shackles and had the prospect of stepping into the domain of Immortal Venerable!
