Qi Cultivation Starting from the Repair Panel

Gazing at the information revealed through his Spiritual Eye, Chu Zheng felt a sudden chill in his heart.

This Heavenly Wutong, a living creature, had claimed this world as its own, equivalent to having refined it. Even the Heavenly Dao had been completely absorbed.

This was identical to what his true self was doing now, the only difference being that after the Heavenly Wutong refined this realm, it elevated the realm's rank.

This was Chu Zheng's first time confronting an existence that had stepped into the Realm of Ancient Myths. Through the Spiritual Eye, the Ancestor Blood Parasol tree in his sight was infinitely magnified, like an ant gazing at the sky, akin to the boundless universe, unfathomable.

The Realm of Ancient Myths had penetrated the past and future, contemplating the direction of the entire Great Universe as easily as one observes the patterns on one's palm, watching the ancient times and predicting the future.

In the presence of such a realm, the entire Great Universe had virtually no secrets left to hide.

Before seeking out the Heavenly Wutong, Chu Zheng had already obtained some information from Yunhua Palace. Your next chapter awaits on My Virtual Library Empire

The location of the Heavenly Wutong, although at the heart of the Tianwu Realm, did not have any powerful Taoist Orthodoxies residing there. Instead, relatively weaker orthodoxies would set up their Sect Gates in this place.

And above the body of the Heavenly Wutong, within its branches and parasol leaves, resided the most powerful group of Otherkind within the Tianwu Realm.

This group of Otherkind consisted mainly of avian creatures, some of which were extremely ancient, not native to the Tianwu Realm, but accompanying the Heavenly Wutong across the realms, existing since Ancient Times.

This particular Heavenly Wutong had suddenly traversed across realms, claiming this world as its own, obviously happening for a reason, likely related to the Vast Universe.

As deduced from the information given by the Spiritual Eye, this Otherkind, watered by ancestral blood, had been contaminated by evil Qi, and its essence damaged. Even an Eighth Order Repairer might not be able to repair and compensate for such severe damage.

This point was something the Heavenly Wutong itself must have realized, yet it still chose to remain in this place.

Temporarily setting aside his thoughts, Chu Zheng slowly approached the direction of the Heavenly Wutong.

As the distance closed, a faint trace of evil Qi appeared amidst the nature's spiritual energy that pervaded the world.

Compared to his true self's discomfort when coming into contact with evil Qi, Chu Zheng felt much better at this moment, even somewhat invigorated.

The evil Qi was very similar to the Yin deathly aura, which was quite beneficial for the Yin Corpse Ghosts. There were many Cultivators within the Tianwu Realm who practiced the art of Nourishing Corpses with their Yin God, which was also related to the environmental conditions.

Although the Heavenly Wutong appeared not far away, Chu Zheng still traveled for two days before finally arriving at the base of the Heavenly Wutong.

Here, the evil Qi in the environment was extremely rich, shrouded in a thin mist, and Chu Zheng could no longer see the entirety of the Heavenly Wutong. The enormous trunk stood before him like a colossal wall, and within the interlacing grooves on the tree bark, many living creatures resided.

The laws of nature had undergone some changes, with Wood Attribute Yuan Qi becoming more abundant. Yet, with evil Qi mixed within, what should have been an environment conducive to prolonging the lifespan of Living Creatures,

Chu Zheng's arrival drew the attention of many living creatures. His Seventh Order Cultivation was a very delicate position in this place, far weaker than those Divine Birds and Otherkind perched atop the parasol. Yet among the nearby residing living creatures, it was close to the pinnacle.

Creatures who had entered the Eight Realm rarely approached the Heavenly Wutong, only coming briefly if they had business before quickly leaving.

The aura of this place would gradually erode the physiques of living creatures. After stepping into the Eighth Order, this erosion would become more intense, severely harming their longevity.

And the reason why those Divine Birds and Otherkind perched on the parasol leaves could stay here year-round was due to the protection of the Heavenly Wutong.

Ignored the probing glances around him, Chu Zheng lifted his head to gaze at the heavens and began climbing towards the top of the Heavenly Wutong.

Evil presence cascaded down from above, and if there was an entrance leading to the Vast Universe here, it should be above.

Throughout his journey, the creatures Chu Zheng encountered were all practicing the art of Controlling Corpses and Ghosts, wielding the Ghost Dao Evil Method to manipulate Yin Gods—with most emanating a gloomy aura, their bodies eroded to various extents by the evil Qi, and their temperaments exceptionally fierce and irritable.

After a day's travel, Chu Zheng personally witnessed no fewer than a hundred battles, and in some places, the trunks were covered with blood scabs accumulated over years, their original color indiscernible.

Chu Zheng slowed his pace slightly, carefully sensing the changes in nature's spiritual energy, advancing neither hurriedly nor slowly.

As he ascended, the number of creatures gradually thinned, and the traces of bloodshed and conflict disappeared, replaced by an aura of peace and tranquility.

At last, Chu Zheng stopped near the tree canopy, arriving in this area where the surrounding evil Qi seemed to be suppressed by an invisible force, with myriad parasol leaves in the distance veiling the powerful presence of various distinct auras.

His gaze swept the surroundings, but when it landed on the top of the tree canopy, it suddenly paused.

A faint purple Immortal Phoenix Corpse lay prostrate at the top of the ancient tree, with wings spanning more than a hundred thousand miles, its tail feathers oozing with the somber fluctuations of Laws, its body shrouded in black smoke enveloped by terrifyingly extreme evil presence, as if it were a statue dredged from the Yellow Springs.

Dozens of golden lights condensed into Heavenly Locks, completely entangling it, pinning it to one of the branches.

[Netherworld Phoenix (Ninth Order): A creature from the Vast Universe, with Cultivation at Ninth Realm Perfection, Primordial Spirit locked, memory incomplete. With your current abilities, you can partially repair it. Material needed: Dead Soul Spirit Jade. (0/30000)]

Looking at the information about this phoenix, Chu Zheng's spirits lifted—he was a creature from the Vast Universe.

This Netherworld Phoenix, much like Gongyi Zi Yu he encountered earlier, had its memory incomplete, yet there was no abnormality on its body that would normally trigger the Repair Master panel's response.

Apparently, after stepping into the rank of an Eighth Order Repairer, the Repair Master panel underwent some changes, now even offering a way to mend ephemeral memories, albeit requiring the aid of special mediums.

After a moment's hesitation, Chu Zheng slowly approached the direction of the Netherworld Phoenix.

Only when he got closer did he suddenly notice a huge wooden nest constructed from intertwined vines next to the body of the Netherworld Phoenix.

The Wooden Nest was entirely shielded by branches and leaves, its interior obscured from view.

Before he could get any closer, the world before him blurred, and the realm inverted; in the next instant, he was standing amidst a hall woven from tree vines.

A figure stood not far away, draped in an emerald green robe, with a youthful face that seemed no older than twenty and a head full of verdant hair.

A flicker of Spiritual Light moved in Chu Zheng's eyes, and in the next instant, a trace of shock involuntarily surged from the depths.

[Wu Tong (Tenth Order): A Body Separation of the Ancestor Blood Parasol, forged from the remains of a Vast Universe creature, capable of freely traveling between the two worlds.]

The person before him was actually a Body Separation of the Heavenly Wutong beneath his feet, a powerful entity that had stepped into the Realm of Ancient Myths!

"You are not a creature of this realm, your soul origin from another world, employing a Qi Cultivator's method of Body Separation to undergo trials," Wu Tong said, looking down at Chu Zheng, his expression devoid of ripples and his eyes diffusing the aura of death, speaking indifferently:

"What brings you here? Seeking death?"
