Qi Cultivation Starting from the Repair Panel

Upon hearing Chu Zheng's words, Xue Qing's eyes darkened slightly, misunderstanding his intention.

She wasn't satisfied with the answer, but she didn't press further. Instead, she closed her eyes again, focusing all her strength on circulating her blood and Qi to heal her injuries.

Chu Zheng no longer spoke, quietly regulating his breath, absorbing the sparse energy from the starry sky, repairing the hidden injuries within his body, and sensing the fluctuations of the surrounding Qi.

Half a day later, a powerful surge of blood and Qi erupted from Xue Qing's body with a roar. A dazzling blood light emanated from her, her skin radiated brilliance, her injuries completely healed, and her aura was more than ten times stronger than before.

The abundant life force Chu Zheng had injected into her body earlier still lingered, and after completely absorbing and refining it, she successfully broke through, officially stepping into the second level of the Martial Saint Realm.

After her breakthrough, Xue Qing's aura became even more condensed and profound. The trace of weakness between her brows due to severe injury completely disappeared, replaced by a restrained sharpness.

She stood up, moved her limbs a bit, feeling the surging Blood Qi within her, and the unease in her heart gradually dissipated.

With her current combat strength, as long as she didn't get trapped again, she could roam across Battlefield Number Five.

Chu Zheng opened his eyes, looking at the faint scar on Xue Qing's cheek, momentarily dazed.

With Xue Qing's healing ability, this scar should have long since healed completely.

Noticing Chu Zheng's gaze, Xue Qing raised her finger to touch the scar on her face, her expression calm:

"I'll keep it as a lesson."

This time, she learned a lot of things, and moving forward, she needed to take heed and remember.

After a moment of silence, Xue Qing spoke again:

"Ah Zheng, you go on ahead. On this battlefield, no one can harm me anymore, you don't need to wait for me."

She saw that Chu Zheng's cultivation had long surpassed hers, standing at the critical point of this battlefield, evidently suppressing himself on purpose, clearly because of her.

"This time, I don't plan to participate in the Heaven Burial Palace journey anymore."

Xue Qing shook her head slightly, her expression calm, clearly having already decided: "After the Heaven Burial Ceremony ends, I will return directly to the Martial Pavilion, and I don't plan to continue the path after that."

She came here to participate in this ceremony mainly because she was worried that Chu Zheng might encounter troubles he couldn't solve, thinking that her talent and the Martial Pavilion's background would be enough to protect him in secret.

Only at this moment did she truly realize that she had thought far too little in the past, too naive, never having considered what "Half of Heaven's Fortune" truly meant in this vast Great Universe and the kind of madness and slaughter it would attract.

Not only the other Ancient Clans but even within this Martial Pavilion, many wanted her dead. Without Qin Can Yue and others releasing information, the situation wouldn't have been as dire as before.

It not only failed to become protection but instead became a source of calamity, even dragging Chu Zheng into it.

Furthermore, by now, it was clear that Chu Zheng didn't need her protection. He had his own secrets and cards, capable of turning the situation even in such dire straits.

Chu Zheng stood up, understanding Xue Qing's meaning.

She planned to wait quietly for ten years, in Battlefield Number Five, awaiting the end of the Heaven Burial Ceremony.

"I won't go to the Heaven Burial Palace this time." Xue Qing shook her head slightly, repeating, her eyes gradually becoming sharp: "I will finish things on this battlefield."

She still had unfinished business in this battlefield.

Chu Zheng didn't need to worry too much about her. What she truly needed to do was return to the Martial Pavilion as soon as possible, overcome all difficulties, and ensure she got that Half of Heaven's Fortune.

Only by mastering enough power and authority, entering the Ancestral Realm, could she truly control her destiny, not like today, being forced into another desperate situation.

If she continued forward into Battlefield Number Four, it's uncertain the likes of Qin Can Yue would be waiting for her, where the dangers would likely be greater.

Stopping here was the best choice.

"Alright."

Chu Zheng didn't say much, stood up, and began setting up an Array, preparing to leave Xue Qing with an Amulet.

He spent two days, moved 360 Stars, arranged a Five Elements Formation, and handed the Array Talisman to Xue Qing, with both offense and defense.

With such an Array, even if Xue Qing ended up in a similar situation as before, she would have a place to catch her breath, able to withstand it for a while.

After doing these, Chu Zheng looked at Xue Qing, with a complex expression in his eyes, and whispered:

"After the Heaven Burial Palace, we'll meet again."

Xue Qing didn't say much, just nodded in agreement.

In the next moment, Chu Zheng no longer suppressed the aura within him that had already surged to its peak. With the accumulated momentum, his cultivation soared crazily, Dao Patterns appearing around him, resonating intensely with the Laws of Heaven and Earth.

Hum—

A strong spatial fluctuation surged from his side, rippling like water waves. This was the Space-Time Battlefield sensing his breakthrough of the current realm limits, automatically producing repulsion and attraction forces.

In the blink of an eye, the spatial fluctuation turned into a vortex, completely engulfing his figure. With a flash of light, he vanished from this Space-Time Battlefield.

Xue Qing stood for a long while, then raised her hand to disperse the Array that concealed her aura. Her Blood Qi rose like a blood-red sun, illuminating the cosmic starry sky, spreading towards the surrounding Star Sea.

Killing intent danced frantically in her eyes. To her, the previous matters were far from settled.

Now that the situation of attack and defense had reversed, she naturally wanted to settle the scores one by one, especially with Qin Can Yue.

In the remaining time, she would surely find her, and then... skin her with her own hands.

As for those behind her, she had plenty of time in the future to investigate them slowly.
