Qi Cultivation Starting from the Repair Panel

Chu Zheng's divine sense lightly swept over, and he became aware of the honorific title of the deity before him.

"Jade Pot Spirit Lord."

A recently ascended Fifth Order Incense Fire God.

Before Chu Zheng approached the Divine Palace, a figure appeared before him, slightly ethereal, clad in a wide divine robe, exuding the majesty of someone accustomed to higher status. It was the incarnation of the Jade Pot Spirit Lord.

The lesser god bows before the supreme deity,

The Incense Spirituality prostrated with a humble tone and a very low posture, opening a pathway and guiding Chu Zheng deep into the Divine Palace.

As a fellow Incense Fire God, he could sense the almost endless willingness on Chu Zheng, far stronger than himself, exceeding him by tens or hundreds of times.

This was a formidable deity with hundreds of millions of followers. In the entire Qingyun Realm, hardly a few could be found. At first glance, it was clear he was a visitor from outside the realm, and for a moment, the Jade Pot Spirit Lord was somewhat trembling with trepidation.

"I will borrow your Divine Palace to stay for some time. Once my business is concluded, I will depart."

Chu Zheng was straightforward. The Secondfold of Immortal Tribulation was imminent, and he needed to prepare once more for the ordeal through incarnation and required a place for secluded meditation. This location saw many cultivators coming and going and had a wide information network, enabling him to timely learn about the goings-on within the Cangyun Realm.

"The supreme deity may make himself comfortable as he pleases."

The Jade Pot Spirit Lord dared not refuse and immediately arranged a secret chamber for Chu Zheng to settle in.

As night descended, the moon shone silver, hanging low over the earth.

Colorful starlight crisscrossed the firmament, and through the secret chamber, Chu Zheng's gaze penetrated scrupulously as he began to search for information about the world.

However, among the myriad realms, the starlight he saw had undergone a change, and the feelings he had within the territories of the Immortal Alliance were completely different.

The starry sky above had changed, so naturally, there wouldn't be the same floating starlight.

The starlight Chu Zheng saw now was mostly enveloped in a chill fog, making it impossible to see what lay beyond the stars clearly.

Moreover, many starlights intertwined at one point, obscured by the high-density aggregation of the Great Realm, making it difficult to find suitable targets.

After a slight hesitation, Chu Zheng did not ponder further and randomly chose a starlight to follow up.

...

When he opened his eyes again, Chu Zheng saw dark grey iron walls close at hand, covered with various talisman papers above.

The air was pregnant with an exceedingly complex odor, a mix of blood, an indescribable stench, and the unique scent of metal, oppressive and murky.

This incarnation to go through the tribulation was different from before. The moment he stepped into the starlight, he was drawn by an unknown force and then lost consciousness.

He could not even remember how he had chosen this body.

The body was only a young adolescent, no more than a dozen years in bone age, yet the Yin Qi within was terribly heavy, the limbs were half stiffened, and in a short period of time, it would become a full Corpse Demon, also known as a zombie.

The space around was extremely small, all made of metallic iron walls, akin to an Iron Coffin, completely sealed without any cracks, and both the walls were carved with Talismatic Pattern and covered with talisman papers as though to suppress some evil creature.

After concentrating for a moment, Chu Zheng felt something was off. The air was thick with Yin Qi entwined with yin evil, which was enough to prove that even if the outside world wasn't an extremely Yin place, it was likely a mass grave.

Chu Zheng pulled up the panel and glanced at some information about his current body.

[Xia Guangzong (Zeroth Order): Bone age twelve, born at a time rich in Yin during a year of Yin, natural Yin Qi passing through his viscera, beaten to death with heavy resentment and died, fed on human blood and has transformed into a Half-corpse Demon.]

[Name: Xia Guangzong (Chu Zheng)]

[Cultivation: Second Order]

[Cultivation Technique: None]

[Repair Master: Seventh Order (468/16000)]

[Remaining Repairs for the Day: 4]

[Current Repairable: None]

Judging by the number of repairs, the density of Yuan Qi in the outside world wasn't much less compared to the Qingyun Realm.

He didn't know how much time had passed when Chu Zheng felt a slight shake beneath him, and the iron coffin began to move.

The talismanic papers around him blocked the divine sense, preventing Chu Zheng from seeing the outside world, but he could faintly sense several blood qi emanating from living people.

Most of the body he now occupied had been refined. The injuries on the flesh were completely repaired, and it had essentially transformed into a corpse demon. Even a Repair Master's panel couldn't revive him.

The heart within his chest no longer beat; the blood in his limbs and bones had come to a halt, congealed in his veins.

Chu Zheng was experiencing this near-zombie state for the first time, and he couldn't help but find it somewhat novel.

In a half-sleep, half-awake daze, the swaying iron coffin came to a stop again, and the surrounding yin qi gradually faded. He must have left the corpse nourishment site from before.

Thump—

A dull thud sounded, and soon after, the iron walls glowed a faint red, and streams of fresh blood seeped in, gradually submerging Chu Zheng. The warm blood qi further accelerated the transformation of the corpse.

Chu Zheng could vaguely detect his withered body filling out, and as yang qi was infused, the hair all over his body began to grow vigorously.

After a brief moment of hesitation, Chu Zheng began operating his qi-refining technique, balancing the yin yang dual qi within his body and attempted to compress the yin qi into a pill first.

Corpse demons are innately incomplete, strong in yin and weak in yang, requiring a constant intake of fresh blood to maintain the balance of yin yang within themselves. Otherwise, an excess of yin qi would backlash, leading to mental disarray—an undesirable path to follow.

Chu Zheng didn't want to leave himself with such a drawback, but for now, trapped inside the coffin, he could only make a tentative effort.

He had tried to leave his body with his divine soul and choose another fleshly vessel, but this corpse had become like a prison. With his own power, he was utterly unable to break free.

In the blink of an eye, over a hundred days had passed.

Trying qi refining for the first time in the body of a corpse demon, Chu Zheng made a significant discovery: The yin qi in his body far exceeded the yang qi, yet it maintained a delicate balance.

During the operation of the qi-refining technique, an aura emerged that Chu Zheng found very familiar.

This aura was identical to the one that had permeated from the spatial portal to the Vast Universe when he was in the Cangyun Realm.

It belonged to the outer realm demons.

The only difference was the aura that had been so repellent to him before now felt extremely close.

Through a twist of fate, he seemed to have become a type of living creature very similar to the outer realm demons.

This discovery was undoubtedly a surprise to Chu Zheng.

After all, corpse demons shared many similarities with the evil demons of the Vast Universe.

Both were transformed from dead bodies and regained consciousness with evil qi shrouding them.

As Chu Zheng concentrated on his cultivation, several whispers suddenly came from outside the coffin:

"This zombie has great potential. I've used a soul summoning technique to call forth a wandering soul to dwell within it, which can help it quickly awaken its consciousness."

"Can this truly ensure my Gu Family's safety?"

"A male child with a yin body is certainly rare, coupled with a death filled with grievance. If raised properly, he might very well become a corpse king in the future."

"By then, not only can you ensure the Gu Family's safety, but if you wish to be a dominant ruler, it is not an impossible opportunity."

Chu Zheng suddenly came back to his senses, his thoughts a brief pause. It seemed the problem with his journey was tied to this soul summoning technique.

His divine soul, which had weathered tribulations, was mistaken for a wandering soul and forcibly bound within this body.

After the period of cultivation, his divine soul had already merged with this body.

The yin qi was compressed into a yin pill, and the weak yang qi began to flow within his body. His stiff limbs gradually softened, shedding some of the corpse demon's characteristics.

Boom—

While he pondered for a moment, the iron coffin above him was suddenly opened, lighting up his view.
