Qi Cultivation Starting from the Repair Panel

Chu Zheng suddenly realized and then slightly pursed his lips, voicing his unease, "The Immortal Treasure you promised me before..."

It was the thing Chu Zheng coveted most, a true Immortal Treasure, priceless in value, its might enough to shake the heavens.

"Immortal Treasure? How dare you still ask?"

The Dongsheng Demon Immortal's face turned slightly cold, "I'll ask you, is Chu Zheng dead yet? Have you even harmed a single hair on Chu Zheng?"

"Fiend!"

With a sudden coldness in his demeanor, Chu Zheng let out a fierce shout, his voice booming like a great bell:

"If you don't give me the Immortal Treasure, I will report you to the Immortal Alliance for secretly harming a paragon of our human race right now! The Cangyun Immortal King is not yet dead!"

The Dongsheng Demon Immortal was stunned for a moment, her thoughts momentarily blank. After coming back to her senses, she fell into a rage:

"Insolent! A mere lowlife from Cangyun, you dare to insult me?!"

"And what if I do? Fiend!

Chu Zheng let out a cold snort, his tone rising, "Do you believe I won't write a letter right now, report to the Immortal Alliance, and have the Cangyun Immortal King take your life! Then you and I will perish together!"

"You!"

The Dongsheng Demon Immortal's chest heaved wildly, her breath came in gasps, murder in her eyes almost turning tangible. After a long while, she spoke in a sinister tone,

"Do you not want the foundation of Tai Xu Holy Land anymore?"

"If you dare come to Tai Xu, I dare to ask for the Tai Xu Sword, and personally behead you!"

Chu Zheng let out a sneer, completely unconcerned, watching the Dongsheng Demon Immortal in the mirror and said deliberately:

"I want the Immortal Treasure!"

The Dongsheng Demon Immortal's face twitched, the murderous intent in her eyes receded, and only after a long while did she speak, "I will have someone bring it to you in time."

She dared not gamble whether Bai Zhixiao was truly willing to die with her. The life of an Immortal Tribulation Cultivator from Cangyun was insignificant compared to her own safety.

No matter how little the cultivators from the Cangyun Realm were valued within the Immortal Alliance, there still were numerous True Immortals in existence, along with the Cangyun Immortal King, an utterly powerful being watching over them.

Even if the Cangyun Immortal King currently does not meddle in the affairs of Cangyun, it doesn't mean he would sit idly by while a paragon of Cangyun was harmed.

"There's no need for such trouble. There is a Boundary Gate within the Immortal Alliance. You simply need to seal the Immortal Treasure and send it to Wanlong City; it will arrive in half a month."

Chu Zheng outright refused the Dongsheng Demon Immortal's offer. After absorbing the memories of Bai Zhixiao, his understanding of the Immortal Alliance had improved by leaps and bounds.

Within the Immortal Alliance, there is a supreme treasure called the 'Boundary Wheel.'

This treasure connects the star domains within the Immortal Alliance, and Boundary Gates are established within each.

The nearest Boundary Gate to the Cangyun Realm, by the means of a True Immortal, would take even less than half a month to reach Cangyun.

"..."

The Dongsheng Demon Immortal breathed even more erratically, silent for a moment, she almost spat out through clenched teeth, "Fine..."

She had never imagined that Bai Zhixiao would have the audacity to offend her like this.

She appeared so unassuming usually, the human race really was cunning!

Bang!

The water mirror instantly shattered, reverting back into a Jade Wall, and fell into Chu Zheng's palm.

Pocketing the Jade Wall, Chu Zheng fell into contemplation.

He was not entirely sure whether the Dongsheng Demon Immortal would truly send the Immortal Treasure, and even if she did, she would likely tamper with it.

Chu Zheng was not concerned about this; he possessed the Spiritual Eye. If the Immortal Treasure was unusable, he could simply set it aside and extract the Immortal Qi within it for energy reserves needed for repairs.

If something unexpected truly happened, he still had Bai Zhixiao's identity and the foundation of the Tai Xu Holy Land to fall back on; he would likely not suffer too much.

On the other hand, if the Dongsheng Demon Immortal actually sent the Immortal Treasure to him honestly...

Sorry for the inconvenience, but this secret is going to cost him for a lifetime, and he will definitely try to extort more before finding a chance to escape.

After dealing with the affairs of Dongsheng Demon Immortal, Chu Zheng took out the previously sealed Semi-Immortal Treasure 'Cloud Abyss'.

This sharp sword, originating from Tai Xu Holy Land, had been sealed by him.

The reason Bai Zhixiao could detect his ambush previously was because of the mark left on this Semi-Immortal Treasure.

During this time, he had attempted to communicate with the Immortal Spirit within Cloud Abyss, but the process was far from pleasant. With no other choice, he had to resort to some measures.

At the level of a Semi-Immortal Treasure, compared to a Tongxuan Spiritual Treasure, there is significantly less autonomy, as it cannot actively engage in combat; the wear and tear is too great to bear on its own and cannot operate without a cultivator's manipulation.

This is also somewhat related to the environment of heaven and earth. Relying on a small amount of Spiritual Energy to refine Immortal Power is extremely difficult, often meaning substantial consumption of the essence.

Chu Zheng sat cross-legged with the sword laid across his knees, silently running the Qi Gathering and Heaven Repairing Technique, and began to extract the Immortal Qi from Cloud Abyss.

After several extractions, the blade of Cloud Abyss had become somewhat dull and lackluster compared to before.

Soon, as days passed and another strand of Immortal Qi left the body, Cloud Abyss became increasingly weaker. The Immortal Spirit inside conveyed a thought, loosening up and pleading for mercy.

If the extraction continued, it wouldn't be long before it would turn into a chunk of ordinary iron, and the painstakingly nurtured True Spirit would be annihilated.

Seeing this, Chu Zheng did not continue. The influence of the Semi-Immortal Treasure on his current combat power, as evident from the Falling Star Bow, was still tremendously significant.

With Cloud Abyss's extreme cooperation, it quickly completed recognizing its master. Chu Zheng returned the few strands of Immortal Qi, replenishing its foundation.

From the exchange with Bai Zhixiao, he had gained a clear understanding of his current combat power. With the sword Cloud Abyss in hand, cultivators below the Third Tribulation in the Immortal Tribulation Realm would likely be no match for him at all.

After refining Cloud Abyss, Chu Zheng was ready to come out of seclusion and check the situation outside when suddenly, a surge of fluctuations transmitted from the depths of his Divine Soul.

His Divine Soul's strength had soared after swallowing a portion of Bai Zhixiao's Soul Fragment. Now, nurtured by the Incense Fire Willpower, it had reached a bottleneck in his cultivation.

After a month in seclusion and some adjustments, Chu Zheng's cultivation smoothly progressed to the mid-stage of the Tongxuan Realm.

Less than a year since he entered the Tongxuan Realm, he had broken through again.

Fortunately, the Hidden Dragon List had already dispersed, and no one in the outside world would know, otherwise, it would be another upheaval.

After adapting for a while, Chu Zheng stood up to leave his retreat. As soon as he stepped out of the Taixuan residence, he realized something was amiss.

Above Wanlong City, a Red Gold Divine Blade hung brightly, stretching for thousands of miles, adorned with dazzling Immortal Patterns and trailing streaks of auspicious colors.

[Blood Transforming Blade (Eighth Order): Lower Quality Immortal Treasure, evolved from a Semi-Immortal Treasure. It has claimed the souls of countless under its blade, wrapped in Blood Fiend, housing an Evil Spirit within. When wielded by those with insufficient heart and mind, it can easily cause turmoil and loss of sanity.]

Chu Zheng dispersed the Spiritual Light in his eyes and the smile at the corner of his mouth grew wider. Although this blade had some issues, it was indeed a genuine Immortal Treasure, and there were no hidden traps within it.

Since Dongsheng Demon Immortal was so honest, not taking advantage would actually be somewhat unreasonable.

The Blood Transforming Blade was covered by a layer of a special Array that required a specific unlocking method.

Dongsheng Demon Immortal had previously given some benefits to Bai Zhixiao through this method, ensuring that the items would be delivered accurately to his hands.

Composing himself, Chu Zheng displayed a False Form, transforming into Bai Zhixiao's semblance. In full view of everyone, he formed hand seals and collected the Blood Transforming Blade.

Most of the might of the Blood Transforming Blade was already sealed, and it could not pose a threat to the outside world. Even if one wished to activate it, a good deal of Immortal Jade would need to be consumed to have some effect.

This scene, naturally, triggered a lot of discussion among the surrounding people, but due to Bai Zhixiao's current cultivation level, no one dared to discuss it openly.

Chu Zheng turned into a streak of clear light and left Wanlong City. After concealing his presence, he quietly sneaked back into Wanlong City again.

During his seclusion, Fu Quanliang from Taixuan Holy Land had sent many letters.

During the start of the Great Tournament of Ten Thousand Sects, Chu Zheng had entrusted all the visiting cards sent from various forces to Fu Quanliang.

Now, he had given his advice on each one, and some decisions still required Chu Zheng's approval.

Chu Zheng scanned through them briefly and quickly gave his responses.

He had no time to deal with the interactions with various forces and could only let Fu Quanliang handle them as he saw fit.

As for the timing of reopening the Sect Gate for the second time, he personally decided on it.
