Qi Cultivation Starting from the Repair Panel

When the Immortal Destiny Sky Lamp was buried in the Heavenly Pool, the Ancestor of Ancient Immortals left only a single prophecy.

[This object is ominous, the root of eternal catastrophe.]

Now, this root of eternal catastrophe has once again been taken out by Chu Zheng.

The Moonlight Immortal Ancestor glanced at Chu Zheng, their eyes growing deeper. Could this be a warning from the Ancestor of Ancient Immortals?

"With your cultivation, you are completely unable to control this treasure. Perhaps there will be a chance in the future to master it."

Suppressing their thoughts, the Moonlight Immortal Ancestor casually asked, "You are now half an Immortal Path Cultivator. Do you wish to enter the Ancient Dao Transmission Road for a look?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Zheng did not hesitate at all and immediately nodded, "Thank you, Immortal Ancestor."

The Ancient Dao Transmission Road is like a river of time and space. Without the help of the Ancestral Realm, who knows when he would be able to see it on his own.

The Moonlight Immortal Ancestor said no more, a faint glint flashing in their eyes as they unveiled the ancient lamp, and the fire seed that had been dormant for millions of years began to leap again. The intense heat made Chu Zheng instinctively take a few steps back.

Whoosh—

Amidst the flickering firelight, Chu Zheng's thoughts paused slightly, and the world spun before his eyes. When he regained his senses, he was already standing on a misty path of light.

On the path of light, at intervals stood azure pillars of light from which emanated a terrifying Immortal Charm, with hints of the Ancestral Realm's aura.

"This road connects the ancient and present, upstream is the past, downstream is the future."

"What you can see are the paragons of the Immortal Path from various eras. By connecting with them, you may receive their teachings."

Listening to the Moonlight Immortal Ancestor's voice transmission, Chu Zheng gazed at the road before him, and suddenly, his eyes blurred. In his vision, the Ancient Dao Transmission Road began to diverge, forming a vast long river.

Layer upon layer of human figures walked upon the river, traversing between past and future, seemingly unaware of each other, not in the same space-time.

Suddenly, a blinding Immortal Light emerged from downstream of the river, treading the Ancient Dao Transmission Road from the future, heading upstream.

The aura emitted from the Immortal Light was so powerful it was terrifying, even far surpassing the Ancestral Realm, freezing Chu Zheng's Divine Soul almost entirely.

This was an Immortal, an Immortal of unimaginable strength!

Chu Zheng widened his eyes, not daring to miss any details, staring intently at this Immortal Light. In the blur, he saw a vague figure within the Immortal Light.

The figure's face was indistinct, with the left hand slightly raised, and a Divine Soul resting on the palm.

As Chu Zheng looked towards it, the Divine Soul seemed to also become aware, turning to look back, noticing his presence.

In the instant their gazes met, both their expressions subtly changed.

At that moment, Chu Zheng clearly saw the face of the Divine Soul, his mind shook violently.

Lingxue?!

No... it's not...

He immediately denied it, though the face was very similar, yet somehow a bit different, or perhaps a bit like Song Lingqing.

In an instant, the overlapping illusions in front of Chu Zheng vanished, the long river disappeared, leaving only the Ancient Dao Transmission Road.

But that Immortal Light traversing space-time did not disappear; it still existed, continuing upstream along the Ancient Dao Transmission Road.

In a flash, a sudden change occurred; numerous azure jade pillars upon the Space-Time Ancient Road lit up with Immortal Light, and figures emerged one after another.

These were the Ancient Ancestors of the Immortal Path.

The moment the numerous Ancient Ancestors of the Immortal Path appeared, they took action without hesitation, intertwining chaotic Immortal Light, joining forces to suppress the strand of Immortal Light.

"Those who disrupt the ancient history shall be executed!"

The roaring sound tore through the eternity of time and space, the numerous Ancient Ancestors appeared, forming an array upon the river of time and space, collectively taking action to suppress the Immortal Light, attempting to halt its steps.

Boom—

In just an instant, the Immortal Array was torn apart, lofty jade pillars collapsed consecutively, shattered piece by piece.

The dazzling Immortal Light scorched Chu Zheng's eyes, he could vaguely see the numerous Ancient Ancestors being pushed back, retreating repeatedly, the unseen lines of cause and effect burned intensely, some were erased, buried in the torrent of time, never to be seen again.

In the intense space-time turmoil, he could no longer focus his mind and was directly squeezed out of the Space-Time Ancient Road.

"What just happened?!"

The Moonlight Immortal Ancestor furrowed her brow, looking at Chu Zheng's bleeding eyes, full of incomprehension.

Her cultivation was too strong to be ignored, at the instant the Immortal Light appeared, she was forced out of the Space-Time Ancient Road ahead of time, unable to see what happened.

Chu Zheng repaired his eyes and informed the Moonlight Immortal Ancestor of some scenes he witnessed on the Ancient Road but did not mention that Divine Soul.

No matter who that Divine Soul was, he could not divert the Moonlight Immortal Ancestor's attention to Song Lingxue.

Hearing of the numerous Ancient Ancestors' defeat, the Moonlight Immortal Ancestor's gaze instantly became intense, as if she understood something, muttering to herself:

"The root of eternal catastrophe... so that's it..."

Returning to her senses, she casually tossed the Immortal Destiny Sky Lamp to Chu Zheng, solemnly instructing:

"Regarding this lamp, under no circumstances shall you mention it to anyone, including the Immortal Ancestors, only you and I know of it in the world, keep it in mind."

With that, she suddenly reached out towards the edge of the Heavenly Pool.

The peach tree standing by the pool reacted, its branches and leaves contracting to shield the nearly ripe Immortal Peach while lit by Immortal Light, forming a barrier, attempting to block the Moonlight Immortal Ancestor's hand.

Crack—

The Immortal Light barrier failed to obstruct at all, shattering in an instant, the slender jade-like hand reaching directly into the lush foliage, groping around.

A few breaths later, the Moonlight Immortal Ancestor grasped an Immortal Peach, along with a section of its branch, breaking it off together and tossing it into Chu Zheng's arms:

"Take this with you, claim it's what you picked as a reward for the Dao Inquiry Grand Competition. This peach is not yet ripe and needs more time to grow. There's no need to rush to consume it. When you become a Perfect Immortal Venerable, consuming it will allow you to become an Immortal King, advancing to the realm of an Immortal Monarch. Only then will it not be wasted."

"This..."

Gazing at the Immortal Peach in his hand, Chu Zheng stood there blankly for a moment. This Immortal Peach Tree, nurtured in the Heavenly Pool, likely takes endless years to bear fruit once, this gift is indeed weighty.

Along with the Immortal Destiny Sky Lamp, his gains this time were immense.

The expression on Moonlight Immortal Ancestor's face was unusually solemn, once more emphasizing:

"Remember my words, regarding this lamp, tell no one, or you will face mortal danger immediately, even I cannot protect you."

She seemed to have uncovered some great secret, her brows filled with barely contained excitement, murmuring like she comprehended something immense.

Once Chu Zheng had secured the Sky Lamp, she turned directly, opening the door to the Heavenly Luck Treasure Vault, sending Chu Zheng out.

As Chu Zheng emerged from the Dao Inquiry Platform, holding the Immortal Peach in his arms, a gasp sounded as its origins were recognized:

"It's the Longevity Immortal Fruit!"

"It extends life by thirty thousand years, we're going to have an Immortal King who's less than two hundred years old in our Immortal Path..."

Gazing at the Immortal Peach in Chu Zheng's hand, Cheng Yunze was also momentarily stunned in place, this single Immortal Peach Tree nourished in the Heavenly Pool was yielding too much for him.

Ignoring the curious glances from around, he put away the Immortal Peach, feeling little joy. What he saw on the Ancient Dao Transmission Road left him with many questions.

Recalling the events, his memory seemed veiled in a light haze, almost blurred and hard to remember.

With the Immortal Peach on hand, he finally glimpsed the door to the Space-time Domain, realizing that quickly enhancing his cultivation is the most urgent matter.

He ignored the inquisitive stares around him, stored the Immortal Peach in the warmth of the Cave Heaven World to await its ripening, and then slowly descended from the Dao Inquiry Platform.

The Heart Burning Corridor only opens once every five thousand years, but not all cultivators participate at the same time.

Only after reaching the level of the True Immortal, or when their cultivation becomes even stronger, do cultivators choose to enter.

The numbers won't be too many, and progress will be quicker.
