Qi Cultivation Starting from the Repair Panel

The sudden inquiry startled Chu Zheng, but before he could contemplate it, Li Yunzhao spoke again:

"In recent years, the Purple Dragon Prefecture has taken in a new Vice Mansion Master whose origins are unclear, but whose cultivation skills are quite remarkable. From his reaction just now, he should be an acquaintance of yours. You have not been in the Vast Universe for long, coming and going in haste. How did you come to know him?"

This statement completely blocked Chu Zheng's path of making excuses and revealed much information. Over the years, Chu Zheng's every move in the Vast Universe had been under Li Yunzhao's watchful eye.

For a moment, Chu Zheng felt a tightness in his heart. Such sharp insight was almost terrifyingly excessive.

Just now, Shang Cangyun had merely had a brief interaction with him, yet Li Yunzhao still managed to discern some clues.

Chu Zheng had no intention of speaking. In any case, he would not divulge the true identity of Shang Cangyun; he would rather abandon this incarnation.

However, with such a level of cultivation, calculating the lines of causality was too straightforward, leading to a certain probability that it might reveal Shang Cangyun's true identity.

"Yin Corpse cultivating the Qi-refining Technique, from extreme Yin to extreme Yang, should this path truly lead somewhere, it might also present a way out."

After observing Chu Zheng closely, Li Yunzhao's gaze suddenly condensed, and he looked toward Wu Tong, speaking indifferently:

"He is a living creature from the Great Universe. As his causality does not lie within the Universe Realm, I cannot divine it. Do you know the reason?"

"I don't know. Even if I did, I couldn't tell you. I still owe him a favor."

Wu Tong shook his head without elaborating further. He had already scanned most of the causal lines surrounding Chu Zheng, and the beings Chu Zheng had previously been able to contact who could touch the edge of the Space-time Domain numbered only a few.

Additionally, given that Chu Zheng's dealings in the Vast Universe were all beside him, there was no excess time to get to know this Vice Mansion Master of the Purple Dragon Prefecture. The conclusion was self-evident.

He had more or less guessed the identity of that Vice Mansion Master of Purple Dragon Prefecture but preferred not to meddle as it had nothing to do with him.

Li Yunzhao, his face masked and thus his expressions unclear, displayed a slight change in his eyes. He looked at Chu Zheng with a hint of curiosity, "Since you have means to mend memories of the past, could you perhaps assist me in this matter?"

Memories of past lives held extraordinary significance for all beings of the Vast Universe; they represented their previous lives.

"I am not unwilling, but my cultivation is still weak, and my methods unlikely to be effective on you."

Upon hearing this, Chu Zheng did not hesitate and shook his head immediately. A Tenth Order being was far too advanced compared to him; even the repair panel showed no response, providing no starting point.

Perhaps when he stepped into the realm of a Ninth Order Repairer, there might be a sliver of possibility, but that was merely a possibility.

As his cultivation level increased, the disparity between levels became ever greater. Surmounting these barriers was not as easy as before.

Originally, when he was a First Order Repairer, he could mend Sixth Order Cultivation Techniques and Divine Weapons; however, upon reaching Sixth Order Repairer and dealing with a Seventh Order Semi-Immortal Treasure, he found it somewhat strenuous.

Even this was under the condition of an ever-strengthening repair panel.

The energy consumed in one repair as an Eighth Order Repairer compared to when he was a First Order Repairer was fundamentally incomparable, possibly also related to his own cultivation.

He had yet to encounter a Ninth Order Exotic Treasure Fragment and did not know how much time and effort currently required to repair a Ninth Order Exotic Treasure, possibly similar to how mending memories required something like the Dead Soul Spirit Jade as a supplement.

Seeing Chu Zheng shake his head, Li Yunzhao did not dwell on this point but swiftly extended an olive branch:

"This matter is not urgent. Would you be willing to join my Lingtian Mansion? After returning to Tianwu Realm, I can also arrange for someone to take care of you, and your journey ahead could be smoother."

These words instantly reminded Chu Zheng of that Great Tomb, and that Great Commander from Lingtian Mansion, Gongyi Zi Yu.

Before Chu Zheng could reply, Wu Tong suddenly stepped forward, placing a hand on his forehead and speaking gravely:

"I can no longer help you on your future path. I have already helped you avoid several calamities, and after leaving Tianwu Realm, I can't conceal it from the Great Universe anymore. This ordeal of entering the Holy Spirit, if you cannot overcome it, you should leave sooner, saving some time."

Wu Tong's somewhat urgent demeanor left Chu Zheng somewhat confused. Before he could react, Wu Tong's voice transmission rang in his mind again:

"I still uphold the promise I made to you earlier. No matter the matter or the opponent, I can lend you a hand once in the future. Additionally, let me advise you to avoid contact with the Vast Universe until your cultivation is sufficient. This will be entirely beneficial to you without any harm."

He spoke very solemnly, his fingertips emitting a burst of brilliant emerald radiance that completely enveloped Chu Zheng.

In the next instant, the nearly indestructible body of the Undecayed Bone turned to ashes in the blink of an eye, merging into the mighty Yin wind that swept above the Soul Origin Pool, leaving no trace behind.

"Wu Tong, you seem too anxious. I still had questions unasked. Are you worried that I would trace back to his true body?"

Watching Chu Zheng turn to dust and completely vanish into the air, Li Yunzhao lowered the hand he was about to raise, his tone now carrying a hint of detachment, "It was merely a coincidence that I helped you once, and yet you show such partiality and protection?"

"I have never been ungrateful or treacherous in this lifetime, and besides, he has been by my side for over six hundred years, never straying. Where is the coincidence in that?"

Wu Tong remained unmoved, his words growing colder:

"I know what you're thinking, but don't blame me for warning you. Some of the karma on this man is so intricate that even I cannot fully discern it. If nothing unexpected happens, it is very likely related to a being from the Ancestral Realm. As he is a Qi Cultivator, I need not remind you which Ancestral being he might be associated with."

As for this, Wu Tong naturally had no certainty or evidence; it was merely speculation he threw out to drape Chu Zheng with a mantle that no living creature would dare lightly offend.

A sharp light suddenly flashed in Li Yunzhao's eyes as he murmured thoughtfully:

"Ancestral Dao..."

......

The Battlefield of All Heavens.

Obscured by an array, a corner of the starry sky where a massive star hung at the center was permeated with the stench of blood.

The surface of the star was pitted and scarred, a stark contrast to its appearance more than a decade ago, now covered with corpses everywhere.

On the vast plain, cracks crisscrossed, and magma and fierce fires spread widely, continuously rising and igniting a formidable firestorm that transformed the grassland into a domain of fire.

At the center of the Fire Domain, a massive creature that spanned a hundred li lay on the scorched earth, its dark armored scales shattered and peeling away, its beast blood nearly dried out.

Pff—

After a moment, a figure sprang out from the huge eye socket, splashing a wave of blood, and bits of reddish-white brain mingled with flesh and blood splattered.

Song Lingxue casually wiped the red and white brains off her face and collapsed atop the beast's head, her eyes startlingly bright, her expression filled with excitement.

After battling for more than half a year, she had finally slain this rhino cloaked in dark Profound Armor, the last and fiercest of the Otherkind on this star.

Even now, with nearly seventy percent of the bones and organs in her body shattered and severely damaged, almost completely ruptured, her eyes still brimmed with joy.

This year marked her fourteenth year participating in the Blood Trial, three years ahead of the seventeen years she initially agreed upon with Xie Xingzhong.

She had truly accomplished something nearly impossible, surviving to this day and completing the Blood Trial.

Before she could fully recover from the aftermath of her fierce battle, a spatial passage slowly emerged, and a blurred figure stepped out.

The person bowed their head to glance at Song Lingxue, then slightly bent forward, his tone respectful as he verified her identity:

"Are you the True Inheritor from the Immortal Domain, Song Lingxue?"
