Qi Cultivation Starting from the Repair Panel

"Repair the memory?"

Hearing Chu Zheng's words, Wu Tong's brow slightly furrowed, no joy apparent on his face, his words tinged with some doubt, "By yourself?"

He did not look down on Chu Zheng, but repairing memories was something that even he could not achieve, let alone Chu Zheng, a Qi Cultivator who had not even stepped into the Eighth Order.

Beneath the powerful Cultivation Realms, so-called Divine Powers and Secret Techniques were hardly secretive, and he did not believe that Chu Zheng had any methods completely beyond his understanding.

"It may not be effective, but if senior doesn't mind, this junior is willing to give it a try."

Chu Zheng did not speak too confidently, whether an Eighth Order Repairer could truly repair memories was also an unknown.

"How would you do it?"

Wu Tong did not refuse. He had tried countless methods already; trying one more time would be no loss. With his expectations in check, he wouldn't even feel disappointed.

Chu Zheng recalled the information provided by the repair panel earlier and spoke solemnly, "To repair memory, a certain material is needed for assistance, called Dead Soul Spirit Jade."

"You actually know of Dead Soul Spirit Jade?"

Wu Tong was somewhat surprised. Such a special Spiritual Object would be unknown unless one had a deep understanding of the Vast Universe.

Even he himself had only heard about it by chance while searching for traces of the Immortal Phoenix.

Hearing Chu Zheng mention Dead Soul Spirit Jade, a glimmer of hope finally surged in Wu Tong's heart. Perhaps, Chu Zheng could truly repair memories and change the current predicament between him and the Immortal Phoenix.

Wu Tong pondered for a moment and spoke slowly, "Dead Soul Spirit Jade occasionally appears in the Soul Origin Pool; it's very rare even within the Vast Universe and will take time to find. Are you willing to accompany me?"

At these words, Chu Zheng's eyes brightened, "If it won't cause senior any trouble, it would naturally be better to go together."

Unexpectedly, he had so easily found an opportunity to head to the Vast Universe, and with an extremely strong guide to boot. Just being able to enter the Vast Universe was already worth the journey.

Seeing the joy overflowing in Chu Zheng's eyes, Wu Tong's gaze shifted slightly,

"You just told me you want to go to the Vast Universe; such determination, is it also to search for someone?"

Chu Zheng looked momentarily stunned, then, with a bit of confusion, asked, "What exactly is the Vast Universe? Could senior enlighten me?"

No sooner had he finished speaking, he couldn't help but ask another question, "According to senior, do all living creatures go to the Vast Universe after death?"

Wu Tong's previous words weren't hard to guess, and coupled with Chu Zheng's past encounters with Gongyi Zi Yu and the Netherworld Phoenix, it seemed that creatures would inevitably enter the Vast Universe after they fell.

If that was truly the case, the real identities of those Evil Demons within the Vast Universe...

"So you know nothing at all."

Realizing this, Wu Tong glanced at the wooden cage in the distance and suddenly raised his hand, emitting a beam of Spiritual Light, hitting the Netherworld Phoenix directly in the brow.

The fierce-looking woman had no power to resist and instantly fell into a deep sleep, motionless.

Wu Tong withdrew his hand and said no more, turning around and leaving the hall.

Chu Zheng quickly followed, and as they left, the corridor behind them gradually closed, cutting off the thick aroma of Evil Spirits.

Once they returned to the original palace, Wu Tong finally spoke up again, "The Vast Universe is the place known as the Yellow Springs in Ancient Times."

Chu Zheng looked slightly alarmed by this conjecture. He had occasionally thought of it himself, but he also felt that it seemed somewhat improbable. There had always been conflict between the Vast Universe and the Great Universe—if it really were a matter of Yin and Yang realms, it shouldn't be like this.

"I don't know much either, mostly fragments passed down from Ancient Times. I went to verify it carefully and use it as some references."

Before Chu Zheng could ask any questions, Wu Tong already began speaking, explaining the reasons:

"Before the ancient times, it was said that there were living creatures who mastered full Heavenly Fate, proclaiming themselves as Heaven, wielding Heaven's Mandate, walking the path of the Heavenly Dao alone—turning their hands to create Yin, and flipping them to create Yang, with the life and death of the Myriad Realms hanging on their thoughts."

"Later, this 'Heaven' chose another path beyond anyone's imagination. He wanted to create an almost impossible eternal universe..."

Hearing this, Chu Zheng's eyes widened, and a chill arose in his heart. In an eternal realm, there would be no birth, aging, sickness, or death, no fighting or strife, and no separation from loved ones.

Such a world, just thinking about it, seemed like an illusory bubble, totally unreal.

"That Heavenly Dao completely emptied the Yellow Springs, clearing out all Yin God Spirit Souls within. A great number of souls entered the cycle of reincarnation, squeezed into the Great Universe. During that period, regardless of which Taoist Orthodoxy's Realm Creatures it was, if there were pregnancies, there would inevitably be multiple births. Heroes and prodigies emerged vastly, all paths flourishing."

Hearing this, Chu Zheng's expression became even more solemn. The distinction between Yin and Yang is the essential law of Heaven and Earth. This action had undoubtedly completely disrupted the balance of Yin and Yang. The heroes and prodigies, crowded in the same golden age, would likely set off countless storms of blood and conflict.

Wu Tong's expression also grew more serious:

"It wasn't long before signs of Taoist conflicts emerged, battles gradually arose, and everyday a shocking number of living creatures fell, a vast number of Yin souls once again poured into the Yellow Springs."

"Seeing this scene, the Heavenly Dao completely altered the Heaven and Earth Laws, erasing the path of reincarnation, and refusing the Yin souls of the dead creatures from reincarnation, forcibly keeping them within the Vast Universe. This was the origin of the first batch of living creatures in the Vast Universe."

"He never gave up. Within the Vast Universe, he redefined the Laws, using the path of reincarnation to create two strange domains. One is the Soul Origin Pool, and the other is the Burial Valley."

"These two regions are the core within the Vast Universe, creating what the living creatures in the Great Universe recognize today as two types of beings, 'Evil Spirits' and 'Demon Monsters'."

"The living creatures that die in the Great Universe almost all emerge from these two places, achieving rebirth. But memories of their past lives are completely washed away, whether this is the intention of the Heavenly Dao, no one knows."

Without the Yellow Springs, living creatures can no longer go through reincarnation. After death, the once complete path of reincarnation that could accommodate the full passage of souls, can now only pass through some shattered residual souls. Therefore, having incomplete memories is only to be expected.

Before Ancient Times, those with high levels of cultivation could interfere slightly with Yin and Yang. Now that Yin and Yang have been completely severed, the difficulty of allowing the departed to return to the Yang has increased by a thousandfold, if not more.

"Your ability to hear these secrets today is also a kind of fate."

Wu Tong sighed softly, "Right now, in the Great Universe, there are few who know the ins and outs of this matter. Even I, have gathered these pieces of information by extracting some memory fragments from the blood of Ancestral Realm powerhouses and cross-referencing from various aspects."

After digesting this information, Chu Zheng couldn't help but feel more doubts:

"Senior, then where do the Evil Demons of the Vast Universe go after they die?"

"I don't know."

Wu Tong shook his head, and turned back to look in the direction of the Netherworld Phoenix, his eyes filled with complex thoughts: "If I knew, I would have sent her through reincarnation a long time ago, rather than continue to torment each other like this."

After the death of the living creatures of the Vast Universe, there are no traces left, and it's impossible to deduce their afterlives.

Whether there is a next life, you must put a question mark on that too.

Although according to the origins of the living creatures of the Vast Universe, some possibilities could be inferred, Wu Tong still didn't dare take the risk.

He couldn't bet on it.

In case there was no next life, in case the result was the complete dispersal of the soul.

Even if the odds were one in ten thousand, he couldn't bear it.
