Qi Cultivation Starting from the Repair Panel

Some gaps become more apparent as memory is gradually restored.

In these past six hundred years, Wu Tong had deeply realized a fact:

Even if his memories were completely mended, the Netherworld Phoenix before him was no longer the dear friend of his memories.

To ordinary people, the most difficult things in the world are spilled water that cannot be retrieved and broken mirrors that cannot be made whole again.

For those advanced in cultivation, spilled water can be retrieved and broken mirrors can be mended, but some events, even if time and space are distorted and Yin and Yang are inverted, cannot be changed.

Reviving the dead and bringing them back to life is a conundrum that still confounds all the supreme beings of both realms. It seems to bring the dead back to life, but hidden behind this question are the words "eternal life."

If one truly mastered the method of returning to life from the Vast Universe, it would mean that all living creatures possess the capacity for immortality.

After all, even if one were to die again after being resurrected, one would simply return to the Vast Universe.

Above the Soul Origin Pool, due to the arrival of many powerful beings, the winds and clouds surged ominously, and layers of laws fluctuated intertwinedly. The concentration of evil energy between heaven and earth began to rise at an astonishing rate.

Chu Zheng silently glanced at the repair panel, and sure enough, the number of repairs was skyrocketing, having soared to over two hundred!

The thick evil energy condensed into a mist, almost liquefying.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Wu Tong's expression remained calm, his gaze on the Netherworld Phoenix, gentle like a breeze.

But at that moment, the Netherworld Phoenix felt an unprecedented terror of murderous intent. The feathers on its body subconsciously rose in defiance, and a panic involuntarily surged in its heart.

Imprisoned for so many years, she had defied the vast disparity in cultivation realms and repeatedly provoked him, relying on the belief that, no matter what, Wu Tong would never lay a hand on her to kill her.

But now, the invisible shackles on Wu Tong had been shed.

The Netherworld Phoenix looked around for a lifesaver, then suddenly realized something was amiss.

The many figures around her were standing quietly, without any fluctuation.

"Why haven't any of you taken action yet?!" the Netherworld Phoenix couldn't help but speak up, her expression slightly panicked: "That space passage leading to the Chaos Sea is incredibly stable, capable of accommodating the travel of Ancient Myths, right there in the Lingtian Prefecture Domain..."

Before she could finish speaking, Wu Tong suddenly outstretched his hand. The Netherworld Phoenix felt as if her throat were being squeezed. The latter half of her speech halted abruptly, her body stiffened, and then she slumped down, the spiritual light in her pupils extinguished.

Chu Zheng opened his Spiritual Eye and swept a glance, a chill running down his spine, not even given the chance to repair.

The massive body of the Netherworld Phoenix plunged into the Soul Origin Pool, causing a tumultuous uproar and raising countless still ignorant Evil Spirits.

Without a grand and mighty skirmish, in just an instant, a fierce beast capable of contending with top-tier Immortal Kings was obliterated, with all spiritual sense erased, soul scattered to the winds.

This was Chu Zheng's first encounter with the somewhat elusive power of the Ancient Myths.

And this was merely a Body Separation, a mere speck in the vast sea compared to the power of Wu Tong's true self.

What really shocked him was Wu Tong's decisiveness and ruthlessness, without even a trace of hesitation.

Wu Tong retracted his hand, looked around, and then turned his head to glance to one side.

A figure emerged from the void, nearly ten feet tall, close to forty years of age, with a pair of dark gray facial armor, demonic and fierce, clad in a pitch-black long coat, his full head of silver hair bound by a Golden Crown. It seemed as if the Milky Way surrounded him, radiating an iridescent light.

"As for today's events, I ask all of you to speak cautiously after you return. There indeed exists a spatial passage, but the destination it leads to is ultimately the Chaos Sea. Should any Mansion Master be interested, you may come to the domain of Lingtian Prefecture and discuss it with me in person. I can grant passage."

The low divine voice arose, smoothing the waves stirred in the Soul Sea.

Chu Zheng opened his Spiritual Eye and was startled by the general information about the person before him.

[Li Yunzhao (Tenth Order): Born from the Soul Origin Pool, naturally gifted with early Spiritual Awakening and wisdom, happened upon a fragment of the Space-time Law in his youth, completely assimilated it, entered the Mythical Realm, founded the Lingtian Mansion, has perfected the Space-time Law, and is on the verge of stepping into the Ancestral Realm.]

The Lingtian Prefecture Master!

The Lingtian Prefecture Master, a towering figure who has stepped into the Realm of Ancient Myths and is only a step away from the Ancestral Realm!

Indeed, his previous speculation wasn't wrong; Wu Tong had controlled that spatial passage for many years, and with the presence of Gongyi Zi Yu, there must be a connection between Wu Tong and Lingtian Mansion.

That spatial passage, in the eyes of the Supreme Beings of the Vast Universe, should also not be considered a secret.

The moment Li Yunzhao appeared, a deathly silence enveloped the area, stirring waves of Divine Sense. After a short while, the figures that rushed over began to leave one after another.

Chu Zheng's gaze wandered around, and streams of information flowed through his mind, most of them being heavyweight figures from various great domains.

Several breaths later, his gaze suddenly paused, a hint of shock flashing through his eyes:

[Shang Cangyun (Tenth Order): Former Heavenly Judge of the Immortal Alliance, now the Vice Mansion Master of Purple Dragon Prefecture in the Vast Universe, Mixed Blood Divine Descendant, in the Early-stage Immortal Monarch Cultivation Realm, creator of the Heavenly Azure Spirit Mysterious Scripture, has merged the Essence Blood of a hundred races on the Ten Thousand Race Battlefield, forging a Demigod Body, his Divine Soul has undergone baptism in the Soul Origin Pool, surrounded by evil aura yet untainted.]

Chu Zheng had never imagined he would encounter Shang Cangyun here.

At this moment, Shang Cangyun was shrouded in an evil mist. At first glance, there was no difference between him and a common Evil Spirit.

His lingering gaze caught the attention of Shang Cangyun, who did not speak to greet him but simply nodded slightly before turning to leave.

Chu Zheng pushed down his surging thoughts and stayed silent. He wasn't foolish enough to trouble Shang Cangyun, naturally pretending to know nothing.

Shang Cangyun had entered the Vast Universe and even became the Vice Manor Master of a domain; there must be many twists and turns to this story. However, based on his reaction just now, it was clear that there were many reasons that could not be explained.

Steadying his mind, Chu Zheng looked towards Wu Tong beside him and sighed, "Did you foresee that today would come like this, senior? Then hasn't all the effort expended over these years gone down the drain?"

"Some things are ultimately meant to be let go. In the Mythical Realm, one can look back to the past and also deduce parts of the future. I already knew roughly what would happen today before entering the Vast Universe."

Wu Tong did not deny it, his eyes calm as he looked down at the Soul Origin Pool below. In the dark Soul Sea, not a trace of the Netherworld Phoenix could be seen:

"The Chaos Sea is but a corner of the Great Universe. Even if one enters it, existences above the Tenth Order cannot use it to enter the Great Universe, and if there's a problem with the spatial passage, one could be completely trapped in the Chaos Sea. In truth, it's nothing more than a prison."

With that, he turned his head to look at Li Yunzhao, who had yet to leave, and bowed in thanks, "Thank you for your assistance today, Lingtian Prefecture Master."

"You are also one of us from Lingtian Mansion; there's no need for such formality between family."

Li Yunzhao shook his head indifferently and turned to look at Chu Zheng, the eyes behind the face armor narrowing slightly as he spoke in a calm voice:

"What is your relationship with Purple Dragon Prefecture?"
