Qi Cultivation Starting from the Repair Panel

```

"Worry and overthinking only harm the spirit; there is no need to trouble yourself further. Rest well, and if there is any spiritual object you lack, tell me at once. I will arrange for someone to search for it,"

"Will the Great Tournament of Ten Thousand Sects still proceed this session?"

Shang Zuling thought of what Ji Yuyan had said, and with Chu Zheng in mind, she posed this question.

"The Great Tournament of Ten Thousand Sects will be held as scheduled; however, this session should see fewer deaths and injuries than previous ones."

Following the invasion of the Myriad Realms, all sects on the surface were now allies in the same boat, and furthermore, it was unanimously agreed that there was no need for a fight to the death for the top title in this session's Tournament.

Moreover, after the battle beyond the realm, the peak combat powers of various sects had suffered losses to varying degrees; it was now a time for recuperating and gathering strength.

Shang Zuling took out the Hidden Dragon List and glanced at it. Since it had come into her possession, she had never touched it until Chu Zheng emerged out of nowhere and she occasionally looked at it.

This glance, after seeing the rankings on the Hidden Dragon List, elicited a soft exclamation from Shang Zuling, and a sharp glint flickered in her eyes.

[Hidden Dragon List's second-ranked, Taixuan Holy Land, Chu Zheng, age twenty, cultivation level: Soul Condensing Realm Perfection.]

Soul Condensing Realm Perfection? Second on the Hidden Dragon List?!

Regaining her senses, even Shang Zuling couldn't help but be somewhat horrified by the terrifying speed of Chu Zheng's progress.

Reaching Soul Condensing Realm Perfection at the age of twenty was not frightening, as Shang Cangyun had reached it at just nineteen.

But Shang Cangyun had only been fifteen when he first entered the Soul Condensing Realm, and with his talent, it took him almost four years to reach Perfection.

Chu Zheng, however, had only taken one year.

"What's wrong?"

Observing the evident shock on Shang Zuling's face, Shang Tianshu was somewhat puzzled, extended his Divine Sense, and glanced at the Hidden Dragon List.

In the next moment, his body stiffened slightly, and any lingering excitement from surviving the Immortal Tribulation vanished completely.

"How could it be so fast!"

For a time, Shang Tianshu's forehead bulged with veins, his breath involuntarily became somewhat hurried; he even began to suspect that Chu Zheng might be a reincarnated Immortal King who retained his True Spirit and was rebuilding on the Immortal Path.

Otherwise, there was simply no explanation for such a speed of cultivation progression.

Given this pace, before the Great Tournament of Ten Thousand Sects begins, Chu Zheng could absolutely step into the Divine Infant realm, or even higher.

The position of Shang Zuling, top-ranked on the Hidden Dragon List, was no longer secure as a mountain, now threatened greatly.

"Chu Zheng..."

Shang Zuling murmured softly, the slight gloom that had enshrouded her mind cleared away, feeling excitement she had not felt in a long time.

Since the name Chu Zheng had appeared, it had consistently brought her surprises, and now, she might well be witnessing a miracle.

The Great Tournament of Ten Thousand Sects, which had seemed rather unremarkable, now suddenly seemed filled with allure.

Shang Zuling took a deep breath; no matter what the exalted Immortal King was thinking, one day she would reach that realm, and then she could personally ask him.

What lay before her now was the Great Tournament of Ten Thousand Sects, Chu Zheng.

There were over six years left until the tournament began, by which time, who knows what level Chu Zheng's cultivation would reach.

At that thought, Shang Zuling couldn't suppress a sense of anticipation; the emergence of a peer who was stronger than her would undoubtedly also serve as a challenge for her.

...

...

The silver moon hung high.

The splendid stars ignited the coolness of the night, starlight in clusters, casting a glimpse of the vast universe's light and shadow.

The pitch-black night sky was dyed red by the continuous volcanoes within the Taixuan Holy Land, emanating a bloody hue.

At the summit of Divine Peak, Chu Zheng sat beside the Spiritual Spring, his breaths long and steady, his skin radiantly luminous. He wore a loose crimson robe that, despite its width, could not conceal the mighty physique tempered by countless battles through demon blood.

A stick of Spirit Condensing Incense was planted not far away, burning with faint wisps of green smoke.

```

Within the Niwan Palace at his brow, the Yin Yang Spirit moved incessantly, inhaling and exhaling the rich Chaos Qi.

After a period of seclusion, his Cultivation had advanced further, stepping into the perfection of the Soul Condensing Realm.

The Dao Embryo had also grown noticeably, with his Qi Refining's Cultivation reaching the late stage of the Dao Embryo Realm, only one step away from the Golden Core Realm.

By now, his Divine Soul had finally grown strong enough to begin practicing the 'Eternal Calamity Treasure Record.'

At the same time, he could also attempt to perform the 'Star Capturing Heaven,' a Mysterious Divine Technique, detaching the first strand of Soul Division to try the Calamity Transformation Method.

At this moment, he was bathing in incense, adjusting himself to the best state, and as the Yuan Qi flowed within him, his Spirit entered an unprecedentedly active state.

After a while, a faint glow flashed at his brow, and his Soul strode out, one black and one white, two Spirits standing back to back underneath the starry sky.

The next instant, the Spirit slowly raised its head, its pupils swirling with mysterious Talisman Seals, clearly capturing the trajectories of the stars streaking across the firmament.

In that instant, his consciousness seemed to enter the cosmic starry sky, with many stars within reach.

However, in his perception, most of these starlights were dead and lifeless, devoid of any vitality.

This meant that at the end of the starlight, there lay a Dead Star, or perhaps even the stars no longer existed, reduced to cosmic ash.

In the process of searching and selecting, the power of Chu Zheng's Divine Soul was rapidly depleting, and after a short while, he had to withdraw his Divine Sense.

In just a short moment, sweat poured down him, his face pale, and a throbbing pain came from deep within his soul.

With the restoration underneath his control panel, his complexion soon recovered, and he immediately resumed his attempts relentlessly.

The Cangyun Realm was just a corner of the universe, and the starlights visible from here were very limited. Chu Zheng, now not being picky, just wanted to find a world with vitality to make his first attempt.

After several continuous attempts, Chu Zheng finally made a discovery: within a faintly red starlight, there was a weak aura of the Heavenly Dao.

This meant that the world at the end of the starlight still existed in the universe.

Without any hesitation, Chu Zheng detached a strand of Divine Sense, injected all the energy from his Spirit into it, and sent it into the starry sky, flowing up against the starlight at a speed countless times faster than light, venturing deep into the universe to explore.

It was like using the starlight as a channel; it was less about crossing distances and more about traversing time and space.

Following the starlight, the vision within that strand of Chu Zheng's Divine Sense reflected a rapidly evolving civilization, tumultuous and prolonged.

...

On the desolate land, humans wrapped in Beast Skins fought against giant beasts with robust Blood Qi, surviving through hunting and gathering. Over time, they gradually formed Tribes, surviving together against the elements.

...

In the blink of an eye, humans donned armor and wielded sharp swords and spears; the giant beasts were almost entirely eradicated. Without external enemies, humans fell into chaotic infighting, establishing territories, electing leaders, and wars erupted, foreshadowing the rise of Ancient Dynasties.

...

After countless years, the change of dynasties had become the norm, with the social stratification growing more pronounced. A slew of fervent followers worshiped royal blood, forcing those of royal lineage onto the throne.

Wars grew increasingly fierce; from swords and spears evolved more perfect weapons of war, terrifying siege weapons emerged, capable of destroying cities and fortresses with effortless ease.

...

In the era of divided dynasties, figures impactful enough to alter the course of events emerged, with followers numerous as fish swimming across a river. Their armor was unmatched, melting the hundred dynasties into a single, unified federation, mustering the strength of the whole world to explore the stars beyond their domain.

...

The once rudimentary species that wore Beast Skins and drank blood developed terrifying weapons capable of destroying stars, prompting one interstellar war after another in a quest for resources.

...

The bizarre and astonishing visions almost made Chu Zheng lose track of where he was.

After an indeterminate amount of time, his strand of Soul Division finally reached the end of the starlight.

Though the journey wasn't powered by his own strength, the energy within his Divine Sense was nearly spent.

At this moment, he needed a body to rest and recover; otherwise, before long, this strand of Soul Division would dissipate.
