Qi Cultivation Starting from the Repair Panel-Chapter 520 - 360: Achievements

Chapter 520: Chapter 360: Achievements

The two True Immortals who arrived possessed considerable cultivation, both having entered the Five Tribulations, but they were not yet part of the Punishment Authority and were of significant age, lacking somewhat in talent.

According to the information transmitted through the Spiritual Eye, these two were temporarily summoned from major realms within the Immortal Domain.

Clearly, the Immortal Alliance had begun to further strengthen this peripheral net in the Cosmic Edge, indicating growing pressure.

“Greetings, Inspector.”

Despite their higher cultivation, the two still performed a respectful salute.

To them, being Five Tribulation True Immortals was almost at their limit, but for an Inspector of the Punishment Authority, it might just be the beginning.

As the sharpest blade within the Immortal Alliance, the status of an Inspector of the Punishment Authority far surpassed that of a True Immortal with Nine Tribulations Perfection from ordinary major realms.

“Thank you both,” Chu Zheng responded with a salute.

The change of guard finally allowed him a moment to breathe, offering a chance to overcome the Water Tribulation and reach the Five Elements Perfection.

“It’s our duty. Here is the coordinate of the Starship. Please proceed quickly, Inspector, for if missed, it would be a long wait.”

The two True Immortals waved their hands repeatedly, giving Chu Zheng a set of coordinates, and then shared another piece of information:

“A Heavenly Judge mentioned that after the recent change of guards, all Inspectors and Heavenly Judges of the Punishment Authority will gradually rush to the frontlines of the battlefield. The Evil Demons are vicious; do take care, Inspector.”

Chu Zheng’s heart stirred slightly. The Monitoring Jade Order had yet to send any information, so this change of guard should still afford him some rest before sending him to the frontline.

However, he needed to seize the time to transcend the tribulation as the frontlines and the outskirts differed significantly, with inevitable greater dangers where he would need stronger power to protect himself.

Having guarded the peripheral battlefield for four years, he had slain a considerable number of Evil Demons, likely accumulating substantial military exploits. He needed to return to the Immortal Alliance to check, potentially exchanging his exploits for useful items like Immortal Treasures for protection.

“Thank you both for the information.”

Chu Zheng expressed his thanks and looked up towards the distant, much dimmed starry sky, his thoughts vast and manifold.

Since ancient times, countless have defended the Boundary, laying their bones in the Cosmic Edge.

All True Immortals who had ventured from the Cangyun Realm to this place had been here, with only Shang Cangyun and Zhao Tingxian surviving to this day.

As for him… perhaps he could be the third.

This path was thorn-laden, and he had not truly embarked on it yet, but already he could vaguely see a sea of blood and mountains of corpses.

After all, it was nothing more than a struggle for a chance at survival.

Going to the core area of the battlefield could also be a peculiar opportunity for him, who had the ability to repair panels, where he could encounter more

Regaining his senses, Chu Zheng looked towards Nie Longhu nearby:

“Daoist Brother, the two of you… ”

If Nie Longhu was considering retreating to the rear for some rest, it should not be a big issue since this place was ultimately somewhat unsafe.

“You may go yourself, no need to worry about us. Our coming here was to fend off the invasion from the Vast Universe, and over this period, I have received much care from you.”

Nie Longhu shook his head, declining Chu Zheng’s kind offer.

Qi Cultivators usually walked alone, and unless bound by sect relationships, it was better to maintain some distance.

Hearing this, Chu Zheng did not say more and directly clasped his fists in salute: “Daoist Brother, then this is where we part ways, may we meet again if destiny allows.”

“May we meet again if destiny allows.”

Nie Longhu returned the salute with clasped fists and transmitted his voice:

“Take great care, fellow daoist. I hope your path is smooth, and one day, you may ascend to be an ancestor.”

Chu Zheng was no ordinary person; his life was destined to be legendary, but whether this legend would abruptly end remained to be seen.

If there truly comes a day when Chu Zheng ascends to be an ancestor, witnessing it would be a great fortune in his life.

……

……

Leaving the peripheral battlefield, Chu Zheng headed towards the coordinates of the Starship.

Without the Starship, not to mention the insurmountable distance, merely discerning the direction would make it impossible for him to return to the Immortal Alliance’s domain on his own.

After half a month’s journey, Chu Zheng finally approached the vicinity of the Starship. Before he could get closer, a faint mirror light swept over him from his body.

The mirror light was intangible, yet it instantly penetrated his limbs and bones, touching his Divine Soul.

Soon, the mirror light slowly dispersed, and at the same time, a spatial portal slowly opened in front of Chu Zheng.

Clearly, the earlier mirror light was verifying his identity to ensure he was not possessed by Evil Demons.

Chu Zheng stepped inside, saving some energy, and went straight into the starship.

Within the starship, an Immortal Venerable presided, making it a relatively safe place on the outskirts of the battlefield.

There were many True Immortals and some Ten Thousand Realms Cultivators coming and going, most of whom looked unwell, either with injuries or weighed down by heavy thoughts, presumably just having rotated off the battlefield.

Mixed in among them, Chu Zheng was one of the few whose complexion still looked decent.

The surroundings were filled with a faint presence of evil. The arrays on the four walls of the starship were continuously operating, trying their best to expel the evil aura.

The atmosphere was slightly heavy. Chu Zheng found a corner to sit down in and waited quietly.

About half a month later, the starship started its journey back. Clearly, this was not a place suitable for rest and recuperation.

Half a day later, the starship gradually halted and arrived in front of a Heaven Pass, the very place from which Chu Zheng had previously departed.

After disembarking the starship, just as Chu Zheng was about to enter the Heaven Pass, a cultist of Immortal Tribulation passed through the crowd and walked straight towards Chu Zheng, bowing in a salute:

“Inspector Zhang Ye greets you, please come with me.”

Zhang Ye, nearly forty years old, was obviously arranged by the Immortal Alliance to receive him here, judging by his attire.

“Thank you for your troubles,” nodded Chu Zheng.

“Inspector, you flatter me.”

Without further conversation, Zhang Ye simply turned and led the way.

Halfway there, suddenly a telepathic message from Zhang Ye resounded in Chu Zheng’s mind:

“Inspector, do you need Dual Cultivation? Currently, there are fourteen True Immortals with this need, and there happen to be a few cultivators on the Joyful Union Path from the myriad realms who just retreated from the battlefield and are seeking a suitable Dual Cultivation partner to relieve their Divine Souls. If needed, I can help you arrange a meeting with priority, perhaps you’ll find a suitable one.”

Chu Zheng was stunned for a moment, but after understanding, he shook his head:

This chapt𝓮r is updat𝒆d by ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom.

“No need.”

During his previous stay, he had occasionally heard some rumors about this.

This was just a temporary diversion after the war, very common in the Cosmic Edge and had many benefits for injury recovery. If the individuals found mutual attractiveness, forming a pair of Daoist companions wasn’t uncommon.

“If interested, you can look for me anytime later,” said Zhang Ye.

Without further words, Zhang Ye directly led the way.

Moments later, the two entered a Treasure Hall. The glazed dome suspended a portrayal of the Star Sea, and seventy-two Coiled Dragon Pillars upheld the radiant heavenly lights, magnificently splendid.

This place was for calculating war merits. In the Cosmic Edge, there are many ways to record war achievements, and the Monitoring Jade Order is one of them.

There was only one True Immortal in the hall, a woman, who appeared to be over forty with not much of her lifespan remaining.

“Inspector,” the woman in black bowed slightly and then extended her hand:

“Hand over the Jade Token.”

Chu Zheng took off the Monitoring Jade Order from his waist and handed it over to the woman.

The Jade Token bloomed with Immortal Radiance, revealing lines of text.

[Chu Zheng]

[Rank: Inspector]

The woman’s eyes flashed with Spiritual Light, and she softly spoke:

“This time, you have slain a total of two thousand and forty-eight Evil Demons.”

“Of those, one thousand four hundred and fifty-two are below the Eighth Order, equating to fourteen Merit Points.”

“From the Eighth Order First Layer to the Third Layer, totaling five hundred and seventy-seven, equating to five hundred and seventy-seven Merit Points.”

“Eighth Order Fourth Layer, seventeen, equating to seventeen hundred Merit Points.”

“Eighth Order Fifth Layer, two, as this was a cross-tier battle, tripling the Merit Points, equating to six thousand.”

“Your total calculated Merit Points this time come to eight thousand two hundred ninety-one.”

After reporting Chu Zheng’s battle achievements, the woman in black asked warmly:

“Is there any discrepancy with your own estimation?”
