Qi Cultivation Starting from the Repair Panel

He Yi's pupils were filled with rage, nearly deranged, as he attacked without any reservation.

The five-colored profound light covered the sky, and in its cycles, Yin Yang Dual Qi emerged, forming countless magic treasures and weapons, aggressively pressing towards Chu Zheng.

Chu Zheng had no interest in exploring the blood relationship between He Yi and the others at this moment. The Tribulation Qi surging beside him was enough to prove that He Yi's fate was intertwined with his.

The only thing that puzzled him was how, with He Yi's cultivation, he could manage to harm him.

He had entered the Immortal Tribulation. Apart from the Falling Star Bow and a set of Semi-Immortal Treasure Armor for protection, he had no other handy magical treasures, yet he was an entire major realm higher than He Yi.

With such a vast gap in cultivation, suppressing He Yi would be as effortless as blowing off dust.

With a bit of caution, Chu Zheng did not act rashly. The Five Elements Qi circulated within his body, and Yin Yang Dual Qi emanated from his Primordial Spirit, rubbing together to produce a strand of lightning.

Bang—

The dazzling thunder slashed across the sky, tearing through the five-colored profound light with a loud rumble that echoed throughout the land.

The magic treasures and weapons formed by the Yin Yang Dual Qi crumbled instantly under the fierce thunder, clearing the heavens and earth in a flash.

"Thunder Method? Are you a Qi Culturator?!"

He Yi's palm went numb as he staggered back several steps, his heart violently shaking, halting his actions, somewhat hesitant for a moment.

Qi Cultivators from the Taoist School, within the Qingyun Realm, were considered a somewhat mysterious existence. Many Daoist Sects had avoided the world, not seen in public for a long time. Stay tuned with My Virtual Library Empire

Though there were few Qi Culturators, behind each one, there might be an old master close to the end of their lifespan.

Those Qi Culturators old enough to have founded sects generally had cultivation profound enough to manipulate the natural world, if not Mysterious Immortal, then at least at the level of a Celestial Immortal.

Qi Culturators were always protective; when they acted, they eradicated completely. If he attacked this person and provoked revenge, it could even bring great disaster to his sect behind him.

Seeing He Yi standing still for a long time without moving, Chu Zheng frowned slightly, "Why have you stopped?"

He Yi came to his senses, staring at Chu Zheng, recalling He Yunjin, his pupils once again covered with blood.

A father's duty is to avenge his son. Even if it risked his own Dao, he must slay this man today!

Hum—

In the void, a sword cry sounded, and five spiritual lights flew out from He Yi's Dantian, turning into five spirit swords.

In an instant, sword Qi flooded like clouds and rain, interweaving into an extensive sword array that slowly formed a spatial cage.

Chu Zheng's pupils flickered with a hint of spiritual light, seeing through the reality and illusion of the sword array, somewhat surprised for a moment. The Five Elements Sword Formation used by He Yi shared a clever resemblance to the sword array he had used before.

But... speaking of that, wanting to harm him still fell short by a lot.

He possessed a Five Elements Spiritual Body, and within his Dantian lay the Five Elements Immortal Root; his understanding of the Five Elements far surpassed He Yi—this kind of sword array was full of loopholes in his eyes.

Even if Chu Zheng lacked these advantages, simply using the common techniques of a Qi Cultivator would not take much effort to break this sword array.

The techniques of the Yin Yang Family had too many similarities with the Daoist Sect, originating from the same source, inseparable from the logic of mutual generation and overcoming among the Five Elements.

Chu Zheng's eyes grew slightly cold. If He Yi had no other techniques to use, it was time to end this farce.

At this moment, he felt somewhat disappointed, originally hoping for a decisive battle. Now, it looked as if even if he killed He Yi, it would hardly alleviate the destined tribulation.

Within a few breaths, the Five Elements Sword Array was fully formed. Chu Zheng stood beneath it, completely unmoved, surrounded by a five-colored profound light, raising his hand to point.

A dazzling immortal essence shot out, splitting into five, instantly piercing through the descending Five Elements Sword Array. The internal cycle of the Five Elements generating and overcoming was directly severed.

The interwoven sword Qi suddenly collapsed, and the five spirit swords buzzed tremulously, recoiling back.

He Yi's expression turned slightly frantic, as if at a loss, subconsciously retreating.

Chu Zheng's brow slightly furrowed as he pressed forward, his spiritual perception pausing slightly, subtly sensing something was not right.

A moment later, he had closed to within less than ten yards of He Yi, within arm's reach.

The panic on He Yi's face disappeared, his eyes flashed with resolution, and his body suddenly ignited with blood flames. His filled body nearly instantly desiccated, the Niwan Palace in his brow flashed brilliantly, revealing a blood-colored flying dagger.

Sizz—

A barely perceptible soft sound whistled through the air. The moment the flying dagger emerged, it vanished into the void, and almost simultaneously appeared in front of Chu Zheng's brow, far faster than thousands of bolts of lightning!

Thud!

Even though Chu Zheng had anticipated it, at such a close distance, he still couldn't react in time. His head only moved an inch, still getting pierced by the flying dagger.

The frontal bone was penetrated, and the skull was split open on one side, the flying dagger pressing straight towards the Sea of Consciousness, emitting a blood-colored blade light, instantly slashing Chu Zheng's Primordial Spirit.

The material of the flying dagger was extremely special, not ordinary iron, wrapped with intense Yang Qi, possessing tremendous lethality against the divine soul.

With the Primordial Spirit injured, severe pain swept over him. Even for someone like Chu Zheng, who was used to enduring torture, his thoughts scattered in disarray, almost beyond his control.

After the strike, He Yi fell from the sky, his essence blood completely depleted, barely breathing, yet his eyes were startlingly bright, staring intently at Chu Zheng floating in the air, filled with satisfaction.

The Nurturing Artifacts technique, using all his essence blood as a sacrifice to nurture a supreme spirit weapon, was indeed his last resort!

Although after the strike, he was almost burnt out, he could ensure that the wound inflicted by his dagger, even if this person had many more techniques, would not escape this disaster.

Even if by some fluke he survived, he would still fall into a state of confusion for life.

Suspended in midair, Chu Zheng struggled to gather his wits, pulling up the panel, and using up all of today's repair chances.

Compared to ordinary cultivators, his Primordial Spirit was inherently divided into the Two Sides of Yin and Yang. Although the Yang Qi on this flying dagger caused him significant injury, it was still not enough to make him fall into idiocy.

For an ordinary cultivator in the early stages of the Immortal Tribulation, being hit by this dagger without a Supreme Treasure to protect the Primordial Spirit would undoubtedly mean death.

The intense pain deep within the Primordial Spirit was soon soothed, but due to the heavy injury, merely six repairs were not enough to return Chu Zheng to his peak condition, residual pain still lingering.

Chu Zheng glanced at He Yi on the ground, his eyes flickering with light. He Yi, knowing he was a Qi Cultivator, still chose to confront him with the Five Elements Sword Array, which was really just a distraction to make him let his guard down, before pulling out this last-ditch trump card.

Indeed, it had an effect.

In the urgency of the moment, if it wasn't for his keen spiritual perception sensing something amiss, the injury would have been much more serious, even to the extent of losing his normal consciousness.

Having suffered this strike, the tribulation aura surrounding him had significantly calmed. This tribulation had finally passed.

Quickly, Chu Zheng steadied himself and raised his hand to capture the flying dagger that had pierced his primordial spirit.

The flying dagger did not possess a true spirit; it was merely an inanimate object.

This was also the uniqueness of the Artifact Nurturing path; the spirit of the weapon was the divine soul of the Artifact Nurturer, requiring no other spirit soul to reside within.

[Immortal-Slaying Flying Dagger (Sixth Order): A spirit weapon nurtured within the body as a furnace, possessing great potential for growth, deeply fused with the divine soul, and difficult to separate.]

This Immortal-Slaying Flying Dagger had almost completely merged with He Yi's divine soul, where the dagger was the divine soul, and the divine soul was the dagger, inseparable, making it difficult to be used by others.

A cultivator sacrifices his essence blood to nurture such a spirit weapon, which naturally differs from ordinary magic treasures and had already become part of the cultivator's body.

"You... you're unharmed…"

Witnessing Chu Zheng landing smoothly, He Yi, his breath faint, despair flashed in his eyes, the previous satisfaction completely gone.

Chu Zheng played with the flying dagger on his fingertip, deep in thought.

After weighing it for a moment, he raised his hand and pressed the flying dagger into He Yi's brow, the repair mechanism activated, pulling He Yi back from the brink of death.

Although still drained of all essence blood, he now had a spark of life, and with over ten years of recuperation, he could barely be unharmed.

"What... what do you mean by this?"

For a moment, He Yi was stunned, unable to comprehend Chu Zheng's action.

"You and your son are rather lucky, these past few days, I've just considered leaving the roots after cutting the grass."

Chu Zheng spoke flatly, and after searching He Yi's body for a moment, he found the previously mentioned five flying swords and a storage spirit ring.

[Five Elements Spiritual Sword (Sixth Order): A set of spirit weapons forged from the essence of the Five Elements, containing a true spirit with certain potential for advancement.]

This set of Five Elements Spiritual Swords, made of rare materials, was also useful for Chu Zheng at this point; if he could obtain Five Elements Immortal Gold in the future, he could further enhance its grade.

Chu Zheng directly suppressed the true spirit within and began to refine it in his dantian. The storage spirit ring contained numerous spirit stones, elixirs, a few magic treasures, and a few scrolls of profound insights about the Yin Yang Family.

Chu Zheng quickly glanced through them, which to some extent corroborated his own understanding, but were not of much use.

His understanding of the Five Elements and Yin Yang paths was profound, unmarred by any obscurities during his cultivation; any occasional confusions would clear up after a bit of contemplation.

After emptying the storage spirit ring, Chu Zheng casually tossed it back and got up to leave.

"You're not killing me?"

He Yi's voice came from behind, filled with strong puzzlement.

Chu Zheng turned around, surprised.

Indeed, father and son.

Looking at the stunned He Yi, Chu Zheng couldn't help but smile:

"He Yunjin once asked the same question. You may ask him about the reason, although, he probably doesn't know yet that you're his father."

He Yunjin was still too young, hoping for him to become a calamity was less plausible than placing hope on He Yi.

But having reached the Sixth Order at just over five hundred years, comparable to Tongxuan on the Immortal Path, His talent was not inferior to that of a Superior Immortal Bone, even capable of using techniques to counteract while drained of essence blood and gravely injure him, which was commendable.

If left alive, he might bring some surprises in the future.

"Yun Jin is still alive?"

He Yi was instantly dazed, shaking his head slowly: "Impossible… I have deduced his whereabouts, to no avail."

Chu Zheng did not explain further and turned to leave.

While He Yi was deducing the whereabouts, He Yunjin was probably in his small world, which explained why the deduction found nothing.

...

...

The destruction of the Three Prisons Sect caused considerable ripples.

Among many small nations in the northeast, rumors of Qi Cultivators entering the world and experiencing tribulations started to circulate, inevitably leading to some alarm.

The higher the cultivation of a Qi Cultivator undergoing tribulations, the more people die. Many cultivators end up involved in these tribulations and die without even knowing why.

After the battle with He Yi, the tribulation aura around him had significantly calmed; he wouldn't be affected much in the short term.

If it were any ordinary Qi Cultivator, this tribulation could lead to several years, even decades, of peace.

But for Chu Zheng, this was merely a temporary solution, treating the symptoms but not the cause.

His cultivation was in a state of rapid advancement; within a year at most, his cultivation would progress further, entering the Secondfold of the Immortal Tribulation.

If he were to consume Immortal Qi, this pace would quicken even more.

At that time, another wave of tribulation aura will emerge.

Additionally, his own Qi Refinement's Cultivation will also increase, making undergoing the tribulation imminently necessary.
