Qi Cultivation Starting from the Repair Panel

The entrance to the Great Tomb was not atop the earth, but suspended in mid-air.

An array had kept a spatial rift open, stretching over two thousand feet wide, resembling a "Heavenly Eye" lying across the sky, reflecting a glimmer of mountains and rivers within, a Small World.

Around the spatial rift, several floating islands were present, each festooned with various banners and flags.

Opening up a Small World required a certain understanding of the Yin Yang Five Elements Law. With Chu Zheng's Yin Yang Immortal Bone and the Five Elements Spiritual Body, he wasn't shackled in this regard.

As an Immortal Path Cultivator, stepping into the Immortal Tribulation Secret Realm could open up a Cave Heaven World. Chu Zheng's own cultivation was certainly sufficient, though he had not yet begun the attempt.

Opening a Small World consumed numerous resources, and the rise in one's cultivation could also be limited by the Small World itself.

Once a Small World was established, Chu Zheng needed to expend considerable effort in enhancing the foundation of the world; for him, it was like having another distracting task to tend to, given his limited energy.

With a Small World as support, an Immortal Path Cultivator could enter the true inner cycles, greatly reducing dependence on the heaven and earth and allowing them to continue battling in the cosmic starry sky, inducing a qualitative change in their capability.

Additionally, a Small World was a means to enhance combat power, briefly igniting the world's origin in a short time to unleash astonishing might.

This was essentially a measure of last resort, sacrificing the foundation of one's cultivation for temporary splendor, not something a cultivator would use unless at a life-and-death juncture.

Around the entrance of the Great Tomb, malevolent energy and Yin Qi loomed, and despite the bright sun, it was chilling to the bone.

For Chu Zheng, however, the environment was somewhat comfortable.

He looked back, noticing that the many living creatures that initially followed him had dwindled to a mere few presences; the rest, knowing the difficulties, had abandoned their pursuit.

Nevertheless, the few spirits that remained were troublesome; all had at least reached the Fifth Order, clearly confident in their own strengths.

Chu Zheng activated his Spiritual Eye, carefully observing the nearby spatial rift as his brow gradually knit together.

Dense Yin Qi churned at the tomb's entrance, continuously overflowing.

It was not just a Great Tomb; within this Small World, there certainly wasn't just one unknown powerful being buried, but a mass grave with who knew how many dead creatures contributing to the rich Yin Qi.

After a moment of thought, Chu Zheng rose into the air and headed towards the entrance of the Great Tomb.

Before he could get close, more than ten figures shot up from the floating islands in the sky and directly headed towards him.

These figures, varying in aura, were only a quarter from the Human Race; the rest were from Foreign Races. Their cultivation was mediocre at best, the strongest merely Third Order, posing no threat to the current Chu Zheng.

Even so, Chu Zheng remained seven parts cautious and stopped in his tracks.

"Esteemed senior, is this your first visit? May you need a guide?"

"I have the latest map of the tomb here, which could save you a hundred years of hard work; would you like to buy one?"

"My map is the most detailed. Fellow Daoist, why not take a look at mine first?"

"This is the latest map drawn yesterday; it only costs two Third Order Spiritual Medicines!"

"The tomb is rife with Yin Qi, and many malevolent beings have emerged; would you like to buy some Spirit Talisman for protection?"

The ten-plus figures closed in and spoke up, making clear their intentions.

In a moment, Chu Zheng realized this Great Tomb had existed for too long, its fame spreading far and wide, often attracting cultivators from various races to try their luck.

Many creatures had spotted a business opportunity and were making a living off it.

After some thought, Chu Zheng refused the services of a guide and then took out some low-grade Magic Treasures and Warriors, purchasing all the maps.

Having multiple maps to cross-reference was naturally better for him.

As for external items like Fu Lu and magic treasures, given their low quality, Chu Zheng excluded them too.

The malevolent beings nurtured by this Yin Qi were quite similar to his current state; who knew, they might even be considered half his kin.

Moments later, after completing the trade, Chu Zheng finally stepped into the spatial rift.

At the same time, the number of creatures entering and exiting the Great Tomb numbered over a hundred, never ceasing.

The fame of this Great Tomb was vast, with scarcely anyone within millions of miles unaware of it.

It was said that at one time, a power tried to forcibly control this entrance, demanding a toll from every creature that wished to explore the tomb.

To Chu Zheng, this seemed like a wonderful idea, but the prerequisite was having enough strength to enforce it.

As expected, the result was a collective attack, followed by abandonment.

Since the day it was discovered until now, countless creatures had perished within this Great Tomb.

In reality, a considerable portion of the cultivators still exploring the tomb were not there for the tomb itself, but to search for the numerous inheritances of those who had died before.

This, too, represented a significant wealth.

Crossing the spatial rift, the dense Yin Qi rushed forward.

Chu Zheng's aura flowed smoothly, his Shape-Shifting Divine Power was directly torn open, his richly purple-glowing hair unfurled, and his Bone Wings fully spread, spanning more than ten feet. Continue your saga on My Virtual Library Empire

In such an environment, he felt as comfortable as a dragon in water.

The few cultivators who followed Chu Zheng into the rift changed their expressions in shock and disbelief, unconsciously halting their steps.

They had noticed the Yin Qi around Chu Zheng early on but had never expected him to be a Flying Corpse.
