Qi Cultivation Starting from the Repair Panel

"You rest for the night, and tomorrow I will take you back to the Vast Universe."

Wu Tong, saying little, waved his hand and, with Chu Zheng who seemed wanting yet hesitant to speak, turned and left.

It was not until they had left that great hall that Chu Zheng began to speak, his brow slightly furrowed and with some hesitation, "Now that the memory restoration is less than half complete, it's hard to distinguish the truth of her words. Elder, it's better not to take too many risks."

The Netherworld Phoenix was ultimately a being from within the Vast Universe. Should she act up after entering the Vast Universe and send out messages, it could attract some unimaginable terrifying giants from within the Vast Universe, causing a lot of trouble.

Especially considering the spatial channel that Wu Tong now suppressed, there was also a risk of exposure.

In any case, bringing the Netherworld Phoenix back to the Vast Universe was a completely detrimental action.

"There's no need for further discussion, I have considered it thoroughly."

Wu Tong, unconcerned, raised his hand signaling Chu Zheng to leave. His mood seemed to have dropped, as he stood there, head bowed, exuding loneliness.

Seeing this, Chu Zheng found it best not to say more. Carrying a few doubts, he left to wait for the departure the next day.

He was reluctant to stay in the Vast Universe for a long time, primarily because of the rate of time flow.

Due to the region's uniqueness, the rate of time flow in the Chaos Sea was different from the Great Universe, but such uniqueness did not exist within the Vast Universe.

The time flow rate in the Vast Universe was the same as in the Great Universe, which would undoubtedly waste a lot of Chu Zheng's time.

With this progress, it was unknown how long it would take for the Netherworld Phoenix's memory to be completely restored, and he did not have the time or energy to continuously waste following Wu Tong.

During the six hundred years in the Tianwu Realm, Chu Zheng had once returned to the location of the Great Tomb, which had an entrance that was initially closed but later caused quite a stir.

Many beings who had stepped into the Ninth Order personally came, trying to break through the spatial barriers and reopen the entrance to the Great Tomb. The result, naturally, was fruitless.

In the end, no living creatures came out of the Great Tomb alive.

Regarding this, all Chu Zheng did was watch from the sidelines. In the past, he might have thought of some solutions, but now, as his horizons gradually broadened, many matters were not something he could participate in.

Especially concerning powerhouses who had stepped into the Space-time Domain, they would bring him a lot of trouble.

The existence of Wu Tong was the best proof that all secrets were almost transparent in his presence.

Stepping into the Space-time Domain meant, on a macroscopic level, they were no longer in the same dimension as ordinary beings, aside from the up, down, left, and right, they also saw the past and future in their eyes.

With Chu Zheng's current cultivation, forcibly getting involved would only be asking for trouble.

Wu Tong, currently holding the authority of Heavenly Dao in the Tianwu Realm, ensured nothing within the realm could be hidden from him. Chu Zheng had indirectly inquired about the person buried within that particular Great Tomb.

Regarding this, Wu Tong did not specify, only mentioning that the person was deeply connected to the Vast Universe, and he himself should not offend them, thus turning a blind eye.

As Wu Tong refrained from saying more, Chu Zheng also had his suspicions; all the beings within that tomb were led by Gongyi Zi Yu.

Gongyi Zi Yu was a genuine being from the Vast Universe, originated from Lingtian Mansion, which was precisely the territory where Wu Tong established the Hundred Phoenix Pavilion, and this undoubtedly still hid unknown crucial relations.

...

...

One day passed in the blink of an eye.

This day, the Netherworld Phoenix seemed very calm. After coming out of the cage, it did not leave the Wooden Nest, merely wandering around aimlessly.

As the morning light emerged, the brilliance of the sun was obscured by evil Qi, casting only mottled spots of light, and the sky was a dim gray.

Wu Tong, accompanied by Chu Zheng and the Netherworld Phoenix, left the Wooden Nest.

After obtaining permission from Wu Tong, the Primordial Spirit of the Phoenix returned to its body.

With a resonant cry filled with boundless joy, the pale purple Netherworld Phoenix soared into the sky, its bound Heavenly Locks completely snapping, bursting forth an immeasurable light of divinity.

Wu Tong watched this scene quietly, his eyes shimmering like a lake brushed by a gentle breeze; he slowly raised his hand, making a hollow grasp.

In an instant, the Void around the Netherworld Phoenix melted into an invisible force, transforming into a cage that slowly contracted.

Moments later, it turned into a fist-sized transparent crystal ball, resting in Wu Tong's palm.

He did not utter a word as he led Chu Zheng downward, heading directly towards the entrance of the space passage.

Chu Zheng felt a bit uneasy for a moment, sensing an eerie presence around him. By Wu Tong's side, a familiar fluctuation emerged, though he dared not confirm it immediately.

It seemed to be Tribulation Qi.

In just a moment, Chu Zheng followed Wu Tong, passing through the space passage, the Lingtian Prefecture Domain, crossing an unimaginably vast distance, and finally arrived at the edge of the Soul Origin Pool.

Wu Tong, without saying much, crushed the crystal ball in his palm, and directly released the Netherworld Phoenix.

Hoo—

The Netherworld Phoenix spread its wings, obscuring the sky. As its wings flapped, fierce winds howled through the void, carrying a piercing shriek:

"Wu Tong, I told you before, if I ever got a chance to return to the Vast Universe, I would kill you—today, you're seeking your own death!" Continue reading at My Virtual Library Empire

Before the echoes faded, countless feathers from its neck spread out, transforming into numerous pale purple streams of light that splashed across the wilderness and merged into the void, vanishing without a trace.

Clearly, this was a method of sending a message. The Netherworld Phoenix had signaled an unknown entity for strong reinforcements to come and kill Wu Tong. She did not even hesitate for a moment, deciding resolutely and definitively.

For a moment, Chu Zheng's expression subtly changed as he turned to look at Wu Tong.

Seeing Wu Tong's reaction, he was taken aback.

Wu Tong's expression was complex, with a blend of reluctance and relief, and he did not even move an inch.

Boom—

The sky underwent a transformation, the vast expanse shattered, and several hundred figures crushed the space, arriving with strides.

The Soul Origin Pool is the foundation of half of the Vast Universe. This place is perennially manned by countless forces, and all major Divine Mansions have powerhouses stationed here to absorb suitable new blood.

The moment the Netherworld Phoenix sent the message, numerous powerhouses set out, hurrying to this place, including notables who had stepped into the Tenth Order domain.

"You killed my old friend first and imprisoned me for a million years after—today is the day you pay back the blood debt and cleanse my humiliation!"

Joy filled the Netherworld Phoenix's voice, and in the current situation, Wu Tong was trapped, unable to escape.

Throughout the Netherworld Phoenix's sudden reversal, Wu Tong remained utterly calm, unflustered as if he had anticipated it all along.

He looked around and then sighed lightly, "I gave you numerous chances, yet you still deceived me for over six hundred years."

The Realm Creatures of the Vast Universe who had gathered around did not act rashly but quietly watched from the sidelines.

Being eager to take action was not always good; they had ample patience.

"He holds a space passage that connects to the Great Universe Chaos Sea, capable of accommodating Pavilion Masters coming and going, and without any Ancestral Realm beings guarding the realm gate, breaking in is as easy as turning one's hand over!"

With a fierce shout from the Netherworld Phoenix, the many Realm Creatures present suddenly changed their expressions.

The space passage leading to the Great Universe, that allowed powerhouses of the Realm of Ancient Myths to traverse, was unguarded by Ancestral Realm beings—this news was shocking enough for the masters of Divine Mansions.

Seeing the changes before him, Chu Zheng's heart sank a bit; he realized that this was Wu Tong's intention.

"Elder... why would you do this?"

"A broken mirror cannot be mended."

Facing Chu Zheng's query, Wu Tong slowly shook his head, his expression desolate:

"Without the Spirit Soul, even if forced, those memories regained are but flowers in a mirror, the moon's reflection on water, easy to shatter. My Cloud Pill, had already died thirty-seven million years ago."

Cloud Pill was the Immortal Phoenix's original name.

It was only at this moment that Chu Zheng came to understand; after the first memory repair, Wu Tong had never called this name again.

"Cloud Pill always loathed being confined, unable to soar under the starry skies, but she also once said that she was willing to make me her cage, to never forsake."

Wu Tong looked up at the Netherworld Phoenix in midair, his eyes gradually turning cold:

"Today, you and I will end this."
