Qi Cultivation Starting from the Repair Panel

Staring at the myriad stars overhead, Chu Zheng momentarily lost himself in thought.

The five hundred streams of Primordial Qi alone, not to mention the sheer energy required for extraction and transformation, demanded a great deal of precious resources.

Luckily, Chu Zheng still had a considerable cache of Immortal Jade and various fragments, making these five hundred streams of Primordial Qi not overly difficult to manage, though they would take some time.

The Emperor Jade Wall was an exceptionally rare Supreme Treasure, aiding not only in cultivation but also serving as a protective treasure.

The Repair Master panel could no longer provide the support to Chu Zheng as it had before; he now needed a powerful Spiritual Object for protection.

Moreover, the most crucial issue was that he had to deal with the Tribulation Qi within him.

Enveloped by Tribulation Qi, Chu Zheng felt an impending sense of tribulation, bound to occur within several days, with natural or man-made disasters being unpredictable.

With just a few days' time, transforming and passing through the tribulation was already too late; he had no choice but to self-transcend.

Considering everything, except for the first time, this tribulation represented his body's first conscious preparation to face it.

After some contemplation, Chu Zheng pulled up his status panel and scanned it.

[Name: Chu Zheng]

[Cultivation: Qi Refining: Early-stage Returning to Void, Immortal Path: Early-stage of Immortal Tribulation (Firstfold)]

[Root Bone: Yin Yang Immortal Bone (Superior), Five Elements Spiritual Body]

[Cultivation Technique: Eternal Calamity Treasure Record (Tenth Order), Taixuan Divine Fire Scripture (Eighth Order)...]

[Divine Skills: Return to the Origin (Tenth Order), Qi Gathering and Heaven Repairing (Ninth Order), Law of Heaven and Earth (Ninth Order), Shrinking Earth into Inches (Ninth Order), Heaven Returning Technique (Ninth Order), Samadhi True Fire (Ninth Order), Swallowing Stars (Ninth Order), Move Stars Change Constellations (Ninth Order), Heavenly Escaping Five Elements Technique (Eighth Order)...]

[Repair Master: Seventh Order (132/16000)]

[Remaining Repair Attempts for the Day: 5]

[Currently Repairable: Emperor Jade Wall (0/500)]

With his advancement in cultivation, his innate divine abilities had also strengthened.

Looking at the panel, Chu Zheng slightly furrowed his brow—the number of repair attempts had increased, a stabilizing factor of about three attempts since his arrival in this realm.

Upon entering the Immortal Tribulation Secret Realm, the number of repair attempts had changed, increasing by two.

After a pause, Chu Zheng took out the fragmented Jade Wall, extracted a strand of Primordial Qi, and used up one repair attempt.

The next instant, his body trembled slightly; the Primordial Qi remained in his palm, but a substantial part of the immortal power transformed within his body was consumed.

Watching this scene, Chu Zheng's gaze instantly became sharp, just as he had long hypothesized—the existence of the Repair Master panel resembled a divine skill, which he could activate with his own power though it was limited.

The relationship between him and the Repair Master panel had reversed; previously, the panel drew Spiritual Energy to aid him, but now, it required his own immortal power to activate the panel.

The daily refreshed repair attempts were never a limitation, and should his cultivation become strong enough, he might discover even more profound uses.

Calming his thoughts, Chu Zheng took out the Spirit Communication Jade Scroll, looking at the perennially empty jade pages, his brow slightly furrowed.

Song Lingxue used to contact him once every two months without fail, but for the past half-year, Song Lingxue had not sent any messages, and the few messages he had sent were like stones sinking into the ocean, without any response.

This situation inevitably worried him; the Spirit Communication Jade Scroll was made from his Golden Body material, and he would immediately know if it were damaged. Currently feeling nothing indicated the jade scroll was intact.

If the jade scroll had simply been misplaced, that would be manageable, but he feared that something might have happened to Song Lingxue.

According to previous communications, Song Lingxue should be cultivating in the Martial Hall, unlikely to encounter any trouble.

Perhaps she was just in closed-door cultivation and had not had the chance to reply yet...

With a soft sigh, Chu Zheng put away the Jade Scroll, and with a thought, retrieved a strand of Immortal Qi extracted from the ruins.

[Immortal Qi (Eighth Order): Medium for the transformation of living beings on the Immortal Path, extracted from the corpse bones of a True Immortal, can mildly accelerate the cultivation speed of cultivators in the Immortal Tribulation Secret Realm and True Immortals, compensating for damage to objects of the Immortal Path.]

Now that he had entered the Immortal Tribulation, he should be able to absorb this Immortal Qi.

Chu Zheng drew a breath; the Immortal Qi flowed through his nostrils, circled around his mouth and tongue, and entered directly into his viscera and Dantian.

A surge of immense immortal power erupted within his Dantian, instantly replenishing the previously depleted immortal power, then skyrocketing several times over.

After a moment, Chu Zheng finally opened his eyes, feeling the surging immortal power within him, his gaze becoming increasingly intense.

The effect of the Immortal Qi was indeed astonishing; one strand of Immortal Qi, setting aside external aids like Incense Fire Willpower and Spirit Pills, saved him at least twenty years of harsh cultivation, significantly boosting his level.

It's worth noting that his innate configuration was of Superior Immortal Bone and Five Elements Immortal Root, making his talents already far above ordinary people.

Under normal circumstances, even without external influences and relying solely on self-cultivation, Chu Zheng could enter the realm of True Immortals in at most a thousand years.

Now, with at most three more strands of Immortal Qi, he could enter the Secondfold of Immortal Tribulation without any signs of shaky foundation.

Qi Gathering and Heaven Repairing, true to its status as a Ninth Order Divine Skill, supplemented weaknesses and was gradually revealing its power.

Yet, given the current situation, without resolving the tribulation, Chu Zheng did not dare to step beyond the bounds of the ritual.

Moreover, whether extracting Immortal Qi or Primordial Qi, both were exceedingly time-consuming for him.
