Qi Cultivation Starting from the Repair Panel

The silver moon hung high, and the stars filled the sky.

Two streaks of light flashed across, pulling along majestic airwaves in the night sky, their piercing cries spreading over a hundred miles as they roared.

Ying Chongyun's cultivation wasn't deeply versed in the Space Law, and his speed while flying with the magic artifact was merely average.

However, within mere moments, Chu Zheng had already caught up to Ying Chongyun. His muscles tensed, with Yin Yang Dual Qi circulating throughout his body, unleashing the light of thunderbolts as he fiercely threw a punch.

The void collapsed layer by layer, the wild wind cutting like a knife, an invisible Fist Gang reappeared, filled with the scent of blood, intertwined with the might of thunderbolts, and in a flicker, it hit right behind Ying Chongyun.

Boom!

Ying Chongyun's figure shook violently, the protective aura around him shattered by the Fist Gang, plunging from the sky and crashing heavily into a mountain range, startling countless birds.

With that punch, Ying Chongyun's bones were shattered, and his internal organs were pulverized, barely clutching onto life by a thread of mana, yet already one foot into the Ghost Gate Pass.

Watching Chu Zheng falling from the sky, Ying Chongyun spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, shook his dizzy head, and spoke hoarsely,

"Today I admit my inferior skills and hope for your mercy."

Chu Zheng had no intention of wasting words. He stepped forward and raised his hand.

"You beast, how dare you!"

Seeing the murderous intent emanating from Chu Zheng, Ying Chongyun's eyes almost burst,

"If you harm my life, you will be crushed to dust!"

Puff!

The palm struck, mountains quaked, Ying Chongyun turned into a pool of blood, his Divine Soul annihilated. Chu Zheng briefly inspected the scene, took nothing from the body, casually buried him, and then swiftly returned.

More than ten breaths later, Chu Zheng was back at the gorge.

The two clans had already commenced their battle, and at that moment, the ground was covered in blood, with war cries shaking the heavens.

Gu Family's combat power was drastically inferior to Bai Family's, not on the same level at all, almost a one-sided massacre, with Bai Family clearly aiming for a quick and decisive victory to eradicate Gu Family's forces entirely.

Chu Zheng glanced over the battlefield, flicked his finger lightly, and several fierce blood-colored auras crossed the battleground, killing top experts in Bai Family's cultivators including Bai Shizheng.

With Chu Zheng stepping in, the tide of the battle quickly tilted. He didn't enter the fray but stood high at the mouth of the valley, overseeing the entire gorge to ensure no one escaped.

The news of today must all be buried here.

Within a mere half an hour, the battle ended, every cultivator of the Gu Family was injured, with over thirty casualties, but compared to the complete annihilation of the Bai Family, it was already a significant victory.

As the dust settled, Gu Zhenxun and Song Zhao, too anxious to clean up the battlefield, hurried over to Chu Zheng.

"For this timely help, my Gu Family will surely repay you handsomely in the future!"

Gratitude filled Gu Zhenxun's demeanor.

"I have slain Ying Chongyun, Gu Family must consider how to face the revenge from the forces behind him,"

Chu Zheng spoke indifferently, his gaze at Gu Zhenxun was unmistakable.

All who came from the Bai Family today are dead. If the news leaks, it could only be a problem within the Gu Family itself.

If so, Chu Zheng wouldn't cover for Gu Family any longer.

"I understand what needs to be done."

Gu Zhenxun clenched his teeth and nodded heavily.

Without Chu Zheng, the Gu Family would have perished tonight; he naturally had to ensure the news was tightly sealed.

"Please forgive me, senior!"

Beside him, Song Zhao suddenly bowed deeply.

"I previously employed the Soul Summoning Secret Technique and inadvertently detained the Divine Soul of the senior, causing the senior to be trapped within the Corpse Demon. Should the senior be unwilling, I can try my best to find a way to help the senior escape."

Hearing this, Gu Zhenxun's complexion subtly changed. He did not speak but silently stepped back a few steps, realizing that the Gu Family could not influence Chu Zheng's decision.

Chu Zheng scrutinized Song Zhao thoughtfully. This Taoist in front of him was more intelligent than he thought, already noticing some anomalies about him.

"No need, go ahead."

Chu Zheng waved his hands, signaling for the two to leave.

Had it been earlier, he might have thought of changing to a different body, but now there was no need.

This body was growing very quickly, at least much faster than mere Qi Refining.

Within the Tianwu Realm, there were secrets related to the Vast Universe. With the particular characteristics of this body, perhaps he could touch upon some secrets of the Vast Universe, even entering it to explore.

It was a region as vast as the Great Universe, where the energy of heaven and earth could also help repair his vessel. For Chu Zheng, its value was immeasurable.

Not long ago, Shang Cangyun had ventured into the Vast Universe, which was enough to prove that it hid many unknown secrets.

The true body of Chu Zheng originated from Cangyun Realm too, and if nothing went wrong, reaching the peak of True Immortal was his limit. He needed to learn the method to fuse Immortal Blood.

Both Shang Cangyun and Zhao Tingxian had broken their shackles because of the Vast Universe. If he could learn some information, even if it was just bits and pieces, it would likely be of great help to his future path.

Gu Zhenxun moved extremely quickly, returning to Fire Rock City and conducting a purge of the Bai Family overnight.

By dawn, the dust had settled, and the sky above the city had changed.

His methods were very clean and decisive, sealing all news. Apart from a few core members within the family, no one else knew what had happened the previous night.

After taking control of the entire city, Gu Zhenxun immediately began to recruit new Blood Slaves.

This time, he directly increased the number of Blood Slaves to eight thousand, and a significant portion of them possessed Cultivation. Both the quality and the quantity far exceeded what it had been before.

With a large amount of Blood Qi nourishing him and the presence of a Qi-refining Technique, Chu Zheng's Cultivation began to advance by leaps and bounds.

In less than two years, his Cultivation had broken through again. Bone Wings had grown on his back, entering the realm of Flying Corpse, enabling him to fly and travel through the ground. His Divine Skills greatly increased, and the green color of his body gradually deepened, starting to turn purple.

Meanwhile, Chu Zheng began instructing Gu Zhenxun to help him collect various ancient items and fragments of Magic Treasures.

However, Fire Rock City was ultimately just a rural area and had never produced any notable figures. The ancient fragments nearby were mostly of low quality.

After expending a lot of energy, the gains were minimal, consisting only of some ordinary Magic Treasures, with few reaching the Fifth Order.

Although nothing was achieved from the outside world, the internal efforts of the Gu Family brought Chu Zheng an unexpected joy.

From the Mansion's Treasury of the Gu Family, Gu Zhenxun found a half-broken Jade Ruler.

[Cold Spirit Ruler (Seventh Order/Incomplete): A battle-type Warrior, affected by a great battle which caused it to shatter, with its Dao patterns broken and Spiritual Energy lost. Can be repaired (0/4)]

A fragment of a Warrior comparable to a Semi-Immortal Treasure, although repairable, Chu Zheng currently lacked the Primordial Qi.

This fragment originated from an Ancient Tomb left from Ancient Times, burying an unknown living creature.

In exploring this ancient tomb, the Gu Family lost most of their elites, with only one person returning heavily injured.

This fragment was the only find.
