Qi Cultivation Starting from the Repair Panel

The Immortal Crossing Ceremony, as per usual practice, had little suspense regarding who would be at the top of the list before it was revealed.

In the past two hundred years, the most talented young cultivator in the Great Immortal Realm was Liu Yunfeng from the Liu Family lineage.

With the Yin Yang Immortal Bone and the innate Psychic Mysterious Body, Liu Yunfeng, at merely one hundred and fifty-seven years old, had already entered the Immortal Tribulation Secret Realm, enduring four Heavenly Tribulations, marking him as a mid-stage Immortal Tribulation cultivator.

He was a peerless prodigy expected to enter the True Immortal Domain before the age of three hundred, destined to potentially become an Immortal Emperor, perhaps even making a name in the Dao War.

Currently, within the venue, almost every member of the Thirteen Clans was present, especially the Liu Family, whose elders from the Lower Realm branches nearly all attended.

Decades ago, Liu Yunfeng had already ascended to the Upper Realm, residing there for cultivation. Today, he specially descended to this place to seize the reward for topping the Immortal Crossing List.

As soon as the name at the top of the Immortal Crossing List was announced, Liu Yunfeng would receive the Heavenly Fate baptism, boosting the prestige of the Liu Family lineage.

Beyond Liu Yunfeng receiving the Heavenly Fate baptism, the Liu Family and other clans also aimed to absorb fresh blood, arranging marriages, recruiting new sons-in-law.

Under the influence of the Thirteen Clans, bloodline was considered supreme in the eyes of cultivators in the Great Immortal Realm.

Pure-blooded Immortal Descendants could no longer guarantee extraordinary talent, but cultivators ranked high on the Immortal Crossing List invariably possessed worthwhile offspring.

With such an outstanding descendant as Liu Yunfeng, other cultivators considering marriage alliances would primarily seek to wed daughters of the Liu Family or marry into it.

But now, all preparation was shattered with the announcement of the top name on the Immortal Crossing List.

[Immortal Crossing List First: Chu Zheng]

"Chu Zheng?!"

"Who on earth is this?! The surname 'Chu'—not part of the clans?!"

The deathly silent venue instantly erupted into chaotic chatter, filling the space with noise as the middle-aged man holding the Immortal Crossing List paused in shock.

The Lower Realm was unlike the Upper Realm; despite Chu Zheng's growing fame across the Great Universe, few in the Lower Realm had heard of him.

Only some elders from the Thirteen Clans, faces grave, knew better.

With cultivation already in the Immortal Tribulation Realm, they had visited the Upper Realm and heard whispers of Chu Zheng.

Within the Liu Family, Liu Yunfeng turned pale, his meticulously selected Immortal Robe losing luster in an instant.

Having descended from the Upper Realm not long ago, he had heard rumors of Chu Zheng breaking into the Immortal Venerable, but paid little heed.

The Immortal Crossing List differed from the Immortal List, reaching only within the Great Immortal Realm and nearby Great Realms at most.

Otherwise, Chu Zheng's name would have long ascended, and Liu Yunfeng would have had no expectations for this Immortal Crossing Ceremony.

At this moment, only one question occupied his mind.

When exactly did Chu Zheng arrive in the Great Immortal Realm?!

Numerous cultivators, oblivious to the truth, began searching the venue for Chu Zheng's figure, with varying intentions.

Ranking first in the Immortal Crossing List and not from the Thirteen Clans made such an individual immensely valuable—a true Hidden Dragon.

If they could recruit him into their clan, it would greatly benefit their family's future.

The middle-aged man, regaining his senses, unfolded the Immortal Crossing List again, revealing more detailed information about Chu Zheng.

[Bone Age: One hundred seventy-eight]

[Cultivation: Mid-stage Immortal Venerable Realm]

In an instant, the boisterous venue fell into silence again, leaving many cultivators shocked and immobilized, daring not to look around.

Immortal Venerable…

Even tallying the main branches of the Thirteen Clans in the Upper Realm, the number of Immortal Venerables was countable.

Moreover, an Immortal Venerable not yet two hundred years old…

In the grave silence, Chu Zheng walked out from the crowd to the middle-aged man, took the Immortal Crossing List from his hands, and directly unfurled it.

[Immortal Crossing List Second: Liu Yunfeng]

[Bone Age: One hundred fifty-seven]

[Cultivation: Fifth Level of Immortal Tribulation Realm]

...…

[Immortal Crossing List Third: Fang Tengxing]

[Bone Age: One hundred sixty-six]

[Cultivation: Immortal Tribulation Realm Second Layer]

Liu Yunfeng's cultivation, compared to the rumors, had progressed further, stepping into the fifth level of the Immortal Tribulation Realm.

But now, no one paid attention to the Immortal Crossing List anymore; the focus of all cultivators was solely on Chu Zheng.

Soon after, elders from the Thirteen Clans walked slowly out from the crowd, bowing in reverence, speaking in unison:

"Greetings to Chu Xianzun, may you easily overcome a hundred tribulations, with auspicious clouds following your path."

The middle-aged cultivator who previously held the list also bowed and lowered his head in respect.

No matter what mysteries enveloped Chu Zheng, or his standing in the Immortal Alliance, he was currently the Chief of the Punishment Department of the Immortal Alliance, having fought valiantly on the Cosmic Edge, with illustrious achievements—these were undeniable.

Born in the Great Immortal Realm, their stable life owed much to the bloodshed of many emissaries from the Punishment Department beyond their borders, deserving respect and reverence.

Furthermore, before them stood an Immortal Venerable.

Chu Zheng nodded in acknowledgment, turned, and cast the Immortal Crossing List into the projection of the Heavenly Fortune Immortal Tablet.

In an instant, the sky and earth changed, plunging into night as the waves of Immortal Dao Heavenly Destiny stirred.

The surrounding cultivators instinctively retreated a hundred miles, leaving Chu Zheng alone before the Immortal Tablet's projection to receive the Heavenly Fate baptism.

Chu Zheng sat cross-legged, clearing his mind.

The Heavenly Fortune Immortal Tablet was the pillar of the Immortal Dao, the manifestation of the Heavenly Destiny True Spirit, containing endless Immortal Charm.

As the tremendous tremors of Heavenly Fate subsided, the projection of the tablet gradually faded, quickly transforming into a brilliant Immortal Light rushing toward Chu Zheng's Spirit Platform Bai Hui.
