Qi Cultivation Starting from the Repair Panel

Secondly, she needed to retrieve the Blood Transforming Blade, a piece of Immortal Treasure of great significance; even if she didn't use it herself, it could be exchanged for numerous benefits.

Aside from these two points, she was also very interested in the treasures Chu Zheng had pilfered from the Tai Xu Holy Land.

To her, these items were greatly useful, cultivation resources that no one would ever consider too abundant.

...

...

In a snap, several days had gone by.

Wanlong City experienced an unprecedented thunderstorm that cast darkness over heaven and earth, creating an eerie atmosphere within the city as the situation swiftly evolved.

In these past few days, the news of Bai Zhixiao, the Taixu Saint Lord, meeting his end at the hands of Chu Zheng had spread like wildfire throughout the Cangyun Four Regions.

Xiao Heng publicly issued a declaration, demanding that Chu Zheng come forth and confess his crimes, causing an uproar among various forces.

In an instant, the situation had drastically changed.

Following an incessant stream of messages, the door to Chu Zheng's place of seclusion was finally knocked upon.

He walked out from his Taixuan residence with measured steps, surrounded by a mass of cultivators, as dense as a sea of humans.

Above the long street, Xiao Heng stood tall, his face bearing a trace of sternness, his expression icy cold.

A deadly silence hung in the air between heaven and earth, which was then abruptly shattered by a fierce shout that carried beyond the clouds:

"Chu Zheng, do you admit your guilt?!"

"What crime? I implore the envoy to clarify," Chu Zheng's brows slowly knitted together as he began to sense something, his muscles gradually tensing.

"You harmed the Immortal Alliance's family members and, after killing the Taixu Saint Lord Bai Zhixiao, you used foul magic to disguise yourself and infiltrate the Tai Xu Holy Land, stealing from its treasure vault, disregarding the laws of the Immortal Alliance, acting so recklessly and audaciously, do you still not admit your guilt!"

Xiao Heng's face turned abruptly cold, his stern shouting echoing through Wanlong City like the tolling of a great bell, deafening to all.

Having said that, he gave no chance for Chu Zheng to explain and took a step forward. His aura shone with bright Immortal Light, with his Eightfold Immortal Tribulation cultivation fully exposed, his presence terrifying in its intensity, "Follow me back to the Immortal Alliance; I shall report to the Inspector and judge your crimes."

Straightaway, Xiao Heng fetched a set of silver chains adorned with five black rings matching the head and limbs.

[Lower Quality Lock Immortal Ring (Seventh Order): Created by the Immortal Alliance Divine Fire Camp, designed specifically for major Immortal Path offenders, it bears thirty-six Immortal Patterns of confinement, capable of suppressing the Divine Soul of cultivators up to Nine Heavens Immortal Tribulation and forbidding the use of Divine Abilities and Techniques.]

Watching Xiao Heng's sequence of actions, Chu Zheng dissipated the Spiritual Light in his eyes and his face gradually calmed down, his gaze becoming a narrow slit.

At the sight of the Lock Immortal Ring, the surrounding crowd had mixed reactions. Not many recognized it, but it was clear at a glance that it was an instrument of punishment.

With the affair still unclear, being directly subjected to such restraints was almost tantamount to outright declaring Chu Zheng guilty.

Being taken to the Immortal Alliance for questioning was likely only a formality.

The area was filled with a stir of Divine Sense, all whispering among themselves.

'Never imagined that the Taixu Saint Lord had already died, slain by the Taixuan Holy Master!'

'This time, Chu Zheng's chances don't look good...'

'The envoy sent by the Immortal Alliance wouldn't lie; if Chu Zheng is taken away, he's sure to face severe punishment.'

'Such a pity; I had just sent a generous gift to Taixuan not long ago. Seems like it's all been in vain now.'

'If what the envoy says is true, according to the Immortal Alliance's penal codes, Chu Zheng's actions are enough to sentence him to death. However, with such exceptional talent, the Immortal Alliance would likely wish to spare his life.'

Xiao Heng's status as an Immortal Alliance Envoy meant his actions in taking Chu Zheng for questioning were justified and beyond reproach in anyone's eyes.

But for Chu Zheng, once he was made to wear the Lock Immortal Ring, his only destination seemed to be a dead end.

Among the crowd, Song Lingqing's brow was furrowed, unsure of the right course of action to take.

The weight of the two words 'Immortal Alliance' was too great; no matter how monstrous one's talent, defying the Immortal Alliance guarantees punishment, and what the Alliance least lacked was extraordinary prodigies.

The Cangyun Realm was but a corner of the Great Universe, insignificant in the eyes of the Immortal Alliance.

However, with her current strength, she had no right even to speak up in such a situation.

Whoosh—

Xiao Heng raised his hand and tossed the Lock Immortal Ring in front of Chu Zheng, speaking in a deep voice, "Put it on yourself, and follow me to the Immortal Alliance to confess your crimes."

At this moment, his eyes were calm, as if he were looking at a dead man.

Regardless of whether Chu Zheng put on the Lock Immortal Ring or not, he would find it difficult to escape today's calamity; the Dongsheng Demon Immortal had already traveled through the Boundary Gate and arrived near the Cangyun Realm.

Even if Chu Zheng had some last-ditch measures to free himself, or even to escape from the Cangyun Realm, he would not be able to escape to the heavens under the watchful eyes of a Seven Tribulations Demon Immortal.

'It's only a pity that you were born in Cangyun; had you been from another region, there would be a place for you among the Heavenly Judges of the Immortal Alliance.'

Xiao Heng sighed silently to himself; he bore no ill will towards Chu Zheng. In the end, he had no personal grudges with Chu Zheng—it was the Dongsheng Demon Immortal who wanted Chu Zheng dead, and he was merely following orders.

Chu Zheng looked around, spotting many familiar figures in his field of vision.

Many powers had previously rushed to present their visitation cards, hoping to form ties with Taixuan, including the Shenmu Pavilion that wished to establish a marriage alliance with Taixuan. Now, all of them were avoiding him like a plague, retreating some distance away.

The mere mention of the Immortal Alliance was enough to shatter all social relations and connections.

To this, Chu Zheng felt no ripples in his heart, having anticipated it; he had thought of countless opportunities to leave the Cangyun Realm, yet he had not expected to end up in this situation.

The road ahead would undoubtedly be very difficult.

In an instant, Chu Zheng's mind raced with many thoughts. Quickly, his gaze fell on Song Lingqing and after a brief hesitation, he communicated to her telepathically, "Go to Taixuan, seek Fu Quanliang, you should be able to find a place of safety."

He no longer had the capacity to worry about Song Lingqing. The Dongsheng Demon Immortal was after him, and as long as Taixuan sealed the Sect Gate and waited for Geng Yiyang to return from outside the domain, there shouldn't be much trouble.

No sooner had he spoken than he suddenly raised his hand, swept the Lock Immortal Ring into his palm, and then directly sealed it into his Small World. After all, it was a Semi-Immortal Treasure capable of drawing out several strands of Immortal Qi.

Xiao Heng's expression faltered, realizing that the connection between himself and the Lock Immortal Ring had been severed, and his face changed slightly, "Do you actually possess a Cave Heaven?"

Ordinary Storage Spiritual Treasures could not block this kind of connection—only a Cave Heaven World could.

Without the intention of wasting words with him, Chu Zheng merged into the void, his figure disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Xiao Heng's eyes flickered as his body radiated brilliant Immortal Light, and the terrifying fluctuation of his Divine Sense swept across heaven and earth in an instant. In a flash, he detected a trace of spatial fluctuation, catching a glimpse of Chu Zheng's trail.

Chu Zheng was headed in the direction of the vast starry sky above.

In just these few moments, he was about to leave the Cangyun Realm and enter the Great Universe, obviously intending to flee.

As his eyes shifted, Xiao Heng's face abruptly changed, yelling, "Chu Zheng! If you dare to flee from your crimes, I can slay you today!"

Although his voice was loud, his steps did not move an inch, until after several breaths passed when he finally rose into the sky, heading straight for the Nine Heavens beyond the clouds.

Among the crowd, Shang Liangyi, clad in an orange vestment robe, wore a slightly concentrated look and quietly withdrew into the crowd, vanishing from sight.

...

...

At the Sky Summit, Chu Zheng stood on the Star-shatter Shuttle, his expression solemn.

He employed a powerful Divine Ability, Shrinking Earth into Inches, folding space, while at the same time activating his Innate Divine Ability 'Sky Roaming', pushing his speed to its limits.

Despite this, he could still sense Xiao Heng closing in on him from behind. With a thought, his consciousness sank into his Dantian.

In the center of the Five Elements Immortal Root, a blood-colored heavenly blade lay across it, and on one side of the blade, nearly a hundred pieces of Immortal Jade emitted an intensely rich Immortal Qi fluctuation.

An endless stream of Immortal Qi was infused into the blade, and the rich blood-colored divine light was gradually building up.

In the blink of an eye, the time for a cup of tea had passed.

Chu Zheng had completely left the bounds of the Cangyun Realm, no longer under Heavenly Fate, venturing into the vast cosmos.

At this moment, he detected something amiss; Xiao Heng behind him consistently maintained a certain distance, neither too far nor too close.

Although he was fast, he was still too far behind compared to Xiao Heng.

Under such circumstances, it could only mean that Xiao Heng was doing it intentionally.
