Qi Cultivation Starting from the Repair Panel

Hearing the news about Shang Cangyun, Chu Zheng couldn't help but feel worried.

Just as he had previously speculated, once he had stepped into the realm of Immortal Monarch, Shang Cangyun had no place to reside in the Great Universe; he became an enemy of the entire world.

Shang Cangyun's predicament was inextricably linked to him.

If it weren't for sending him to the Myriad Realms, Shang Cangyun wouldn't have broken with the Immortal Alliance so precipitously, at least he would have had more time to prepare, rather than being so rushed.

The personal involvement of an Immortal Emperor had proven the severity of the matter; on Shang Cangyun's person, there were likely many huge secrets unknown to ordinary people.

The crux of the issue was inseparable from the uniqueness of the Cangyun Realm.

As a Great Realm under the jurisdiction of the Immortal Alliance, the fact that Cangyun Cultivators could not merge with Immortal Blood to become Immortal Descendants was already highly unusual.

Shang Cangyun, Zhao Tingxian, and Chu Zheng himself were all born from the Cangyun Realm, coupled with his discovery of the Ancestral Dao Golden Body and the Eternal Calamity Treasure Record in the Cangyun Secret Realm, it wasn't necessary to think too deeply to guess that great secrets were hidden within the Cangyun Realm.

In Ancient Times or the Ancient Era, the Cangyun Realm must have experienced some earth-shattering cataclysm, which even up to today, continues to affect all the living creatures of the entire realm.

This was perhaps not unrelated to the Outer Realm Demons in the Vast Universe.

Chu Zheng pondered for a long while, sighing; his Cultivation was improving at an alarmingly rapid pace, but it was still far too inferior to the realm of a being like Shang Cangyun.

Moreover, Shang Cangyun had not yet reached the pinnacle of the Great Universe and had been forced to find neither path in heaven nor gate on earth, only to enter the Vast Universe.

The Vast Universe was definitely not a good place to go, otherwise, Shang Cangyun would not have hesitated for so long, delaying in taking that step.

Now, Chu Zheng could fully predict that as his Cultivation advanced, the road ahead would become increasingly difficult, with the Tribulation Qi alone consuming untold amounts of his mental energy.

After hearing of Shang Cangyun's predicament, Chu Zheng continued his travels through various nations, visiting many Taoist Orthodoxies, primarily to gather information about the Vast Universe.

Meanwhile, he extracted Primordial Qi methodically, slowly repairing the Emperor Jade Wall.

During this period, the information from various Taoist Orthodoxies indeed led to some discoveries: the Myriad Realms had also suffered from the incursions of Outer Realm Demons, with many Cultivators' bodies being tainted with evil Qi after death, falling to become Evil Demons.

About the Outer Realm Demons, there was a vague rumor in the Myriad Realms that if one's body was tainted with evil Qi, their soul would not rest in peace after death and would have difficulty in Reincarnation.

As for the notion of Reincarnation, although rumors existed in the Great Universe, not a single person who had actually been to the Yellow Springs could be found to verify it with specific examples.

The theory of the cycle of life and death originated, according to legend, from an extremely powerful Cultivator who, after the demise of his flesh, his Primordial Spirit remained in the world, not dispersing for a long time, transforming into a Yin God.

After people learned of it, they began to speculate further, believing that even mortals, after death, their souls would not simply dissipate but would enter the Yellow Springs below, to be reincarnated.

Especially for some mortals, who often dream of their deceased relatives sending messages in dreams after they passed away, this further validated the existence of the soul.

After many Cultivators diligently investigated, it was finally confirmed that Divine Souls were not cultivated but innate, varying only in strength.

Some long-lived powerful Cultivators have personally witnessed people identical to their deceased acquaintances, not just in appearance, but even in temperament and preferences, further corroborating the theory of Reincarnation.

Occasionally, there were rumors of Cultivators awakening memories of past lives and obtaining supreme marvelous methods, subsequently soaring to great heights.

But regardless, Reincarnation, across all worlds, remained only speculation, with no one having seen the Yellow Springs with their own eyes.

Many Cultivators, even regarded the Vast Universe as the Underworld, and those Outer Realm Demons in their eyes were like ghosts and gods, indistinguishable from one another.

As for Reincarnation, Chu Zheng naturally never doubted it, for how else could he awaken his innate wisdom and still retain memories from his past life.

The Yellow Springs must surely exist, but their exact location remains unknown.

In the process of gathering information, news about Qi Cultivators entering the world and experiencing tribulations gradually spread.

Many Taoist Orthodoxies were no longer in contact with the living, becoming much more cautious, which caused Chu Zheng no small trouble.

Originally, between the many Taoist Orthodoxies of the nations, there had been many disputes and frictions on ordinary days, with occasional conflicts, but these days, they had eerily fallen into a calm.

All Cultivators' eyes were scouting in secret, wanting to know from where this unknown Qi Cultivator would emerge.

For a Qi Cultivator, when undergoing tribulations, they were nearly no different from a disaster star, bringing calamity to others and themselves; becoming involved with them was unlikely to end well.

Against natural and man-made disasters, few Cultivators possessed sufficient strength to withstand the invisible risks that could arise at any time.

In the end, Chu Zheng stopped in front of a stretch of Divine Palaces.

As gathering information was becoming increasingly difficult and the Tribulation Qi was once again gathering to a significant degree, transforming into tribulations was imminent and he could not afford to waste more time on trivial matters.

The Divine Palace in front of him stretched over a hundred pavilions, spanning tens of miles, bustling with streams of people; within it, Incense Fire Willpower coalesced into clouds, a Divine Palace belonging to an Incense Fire Deity.
