Qi Cultivation Starting from the Repair Panel-Chapter 546 - 385: 7 Tribulations True Immortal
Chapter 546 -385: 7 Tribulations True Immortal
The sun and moon shine together, accompanied by the descent of Yin Yang Dual Qi, and vague signs of life begin to emerge between heaven and earth.
The Cave Heaven World of an Immortal Path Cultivator will gradually transform into a true Great Realm as one’s cultivation advances.
Noticing the extraordinary scene within the Cave Heaven, Chu Zheng calmed his breath and began to harmonize the Yin Yang Dual Qi within, setting the order of day and night.
Now, his world already contains the Five Elements and Yin Yang; once Yin and Yang unify, myriad Dao Laws can evolve, forming the embryonic shape of the Heavenly Dao.
The reason that the numerous Great Realms under the Immortal Alliance can remain stable like a rock is largely due to the True Immortal’s understanding of the Heavenly Dao Laws, allowing them to manipulate Heavenly Fate at will.
There is a similar process in the Martial Path, but relatively speaking, the Martial Path still focuses more on the cultivation of one’s physical body and less on the research of Dao Laws.
In the Eighth Order Domain, stars can still act as supplementary materials for cultivation, but upon reaching the Ninth Order, even stars can hardly provide energy for such powerful living creatures anymore.
Even if there were hundreds or thousands of stars, it would be like a drop in the ocean.
To significantly increase one’s cultivation, apart from slow and daily cultivation, directly devouring a complete Great Realm is the fastest way.
A complete Great Realm has perfect laws, able to continuously nurture living creatures. By directly absorbing it into one’s body and assimilating it with one’s Cave Heaven, one can directly gain the blessings of a Great Realm, greatly benefiting one’s cultivation.
The Immortal Alliance dispatches many Seven Tribulations and even Nine Tribulations True Immortals to monitor various Great Realms, partly to allow these True Immortals to experience the Heaven and Earth Laws in advance.
If one’s talents are outstanding enough to step into the Immortal Venerable Domain, the Immortal Alliance is very likely to grant the Great Realm they were guarding to them, enhancing their cultivation.
If Zhao Tingxian had not been exposed back then, when he became an Immortal Venerable, the Cangyun Realm would most likely have been bestowed upon him by the Immortal Alliance.
Soon, under Chu Zheng’s intervention, the silver light between heaven and earth gradually dimmed, the bright moon sank westwards, leaving only a blazing sun.
However, with his current cultivation, it is still difficult to completely control the alternation of day and night. Each cycle requires an interval of one thousand and two hundred hours, which is a hundred times that of a normal Great Realm.
After separating day and night, Chu Zheng’s cultivation seamlessly crossed into the Seven Tribulations True Immortal Realm. The immortal power within his body expanded by thousands of times, his internal organs suffused with immortal light, almost overturning the heavens and earth.
In just a few days, Chu Zheng had crossed a distance that ordinary True Immortals might not be able to cross in thousands of years.
The Star Origin Liquid and all the immortal qi accumulated beforehand were nearly depleted, equivalent to consuming the remnants of at least hundreds of lower to middle quality Immortal Treasures in one go.
With such tremendous advancement, his Qi Refinement’s Cultivation had already fallen far behind.
Having just broken through, Chu Zheng did not rush to leave seclusion but continued to stabilize his cultivation, shifting most of his consciousness to his avatar.
…
…
Chaos Sea.
Ancient Crossing Realm.
In the bustling street, Chu Zheng slowly awakened.
His current host is a boy of only thirteen or fourteen years, dressed in coarse clothes, his shoulder-length hair tied with a blood-stained kerchief, hunched over a black coffin, continuously tearing into a sheep leg, his mouth full of grease, like a fierce tiger.
After digesting the experiences of his avatar over the past hundreds of years, Chu Zheng couldn’t help but sigh.
Not long ago, his previous host had just died a violent death, stabbed to death on a cliff by a top expert from the Tiantong Dynasty, his bones suppressed within an array, constantly guarded to ensure that ‘Chu Zheng’ would not resurrect again.
Over the past few hundred years, ‘Chu Zheng’ had stirred up a storm in Ancient Crossing, causing a tremendous upheaval. Especially the Tiantong Dynasty, which, upon receiving news of ‘Chu Zheng’s’ appearance, would come swiftly and mercilessly.
During multiple clashes, many strong figures of the Tiantong Dynasty had died at ‘Chu Zheng’s’ hands, with piled-up debts of blood and heaps of corpses. Several dynasties under its command had perished as a result, further escalating the conflict.
Being a prominent ruler among the Hundred Countries, ranking fifth, the Tiantong Dynasty could no longer tolerate ‘Chu Zheng’s’ existence in the world.
It was a great provocation, shaking the Tiantong Dynasty’s prestige among the Hundred Countries, causing panic among its subordinate states.
Most notably, ‘Chu Zheng’ had been active in the Ancient Crossing Realm for nearly a thousand years, gathering a group of zealots loyal to him.
This group of fanatics was ‘Chu Zheng’s’ utterly unprincipled followers, more terrifying than the most maniacal incense spirituality devotees.
By shaking the foundation of a dynasty with his own power, ‘Undying Body’ had become synonymous with ‘Chu Zheng’. Following ‘Chu Zheng’ offered the possibility of achieving immortality.
Even now, at the cliff suppressing ‘Chu Zheng’s’ bones, living creatures attempt day and night to seize the remains, hoping to resurrect ‘Chu Zheng’ and bring him back to the world.
To this, Chu Zheng’s emotions had little fluctuation. As his avatar’s tribulation years lengthened, he had witnessed too much of life and death.
The living creatures who died at his hands were countless.
Those who agreed to share their bodies with the Armor Demon to crawl back from the edge of death were mostly filled with resentment. With their increasing power, it was indeed difficult for them to become benevolent.
Just like the young boy newly selected by the Armor Demon.
Days before, the Armor Demon found him in a mountain forest, still breathing while being torn apart by a wild bear, unable to utter a sound.
Faced with the Armor Demon’s offered life-saving straw, the boy agreed without hesitation.
After possessing his body, the Armor Demon learned about the boy’s background.
He was originally the son of a rural farmer, with an elder sister three years his senior, mother deceased early, and father toiling in the fields, aged and frail at over forty.
The boy had no knowledge of literature, quickly forgetting the books he read. After a year in private school, barely able to read, he went to the city to find work, becoming an apprentice at a pharmacy.
One day, the elder sister came to the pharmacy to deliver food and was spotted by Uncle Lin, who was accompanying his wife for a diagnosis.
Within three days, the betrothal gift arrived at the boy’s home.
Uncle Lin was already fifty-seven years old, making this marriage proposal rather absurd.
But the Lin Family was a local powerful family, owning seven-tenths of the farmland outside the town, difficult to offend.
The boy’s father took out the family’s savings and prepared a modest gift to return the betrothal.
The Lin Mansion accepted the gift, and the steward smiled as he escorted the boy’s father out.
Thought it was over, but on the way back home, the father encountered mountain bandits, hung dead on a tree in the wilderness, the body exposed for days before being discovered.
Where these mountain bandits, who had been absent for decades, came from was obvious.
Worried and fearful, the elder sister caught a cold and became bedridden. The boy went to the pharmacy for medicine but was rebuffed, and in desperation, went to the mountains to gather herbs, only to encounter the wild bear.
When the boy and Armor Demon fully merged and returned home, only a scene of ruins remained.
The charred body of the elder sister lay exposed under the remnants, with no one daring to collect it. Such a calamity, the cause and effect were clear without investigation.
Today was Uncle Lin’s seventieth birthday, with guests coming and going, in great merriment.
The boy chewed the lamb in his mouth, looking at the bustling scene of guests at the nearby Lin Mansion, his eyes calm but filled with enough suppressed rage to burn the heavens.
By noon, the boy swallowed the lamb, threw aside its cleaned bones, picked up the black coffin, and strode towards the crowded Lin Mansion.
“Sir…”
The lamb shop attendant chased for a few steps, stopping as he met the boy’s gaze:
“Your bill…”
The boy withdrew his gaze, walked straight ahead, and quietly replied:
“I’ll be right back.”
