Qi Cultivation Starting from the Repair Panel

Atop the Xuan Tian Martial Barrier, the Xuan Tian Scripture's cultivation methods were recorded, along with the Fourteen Martial Arts Supernatural Powers, of which the Xuan Tian Seal was merely one.

The fragment discovered in the Immortal Emerald Continent was significantly larger than the one in Great Zhou, nearly twice as big.

The engraved patterns on it were even clearer.

Having obtained this fragment and combining it with the previous stone barrier's rubbings, Chu Zheng had already acquired nearly half of the cultivation route map, naturally triggering a response from the interface.

"Xuan Tian Scripture (Sixth Order (Incomplete)): A comprehensive martial cultivation method, when cultivated to perfection, connects martial path to divine communication, initial repairs completed, repairable (0/1000)"

The preliminary repairs of the Xuan Tian Scripture only needed ten days. The moment it reached his hands, Chu Zheng began the repairs. A few days prior, he had already obtained the complete introduction of the Xuan Tian Scripture.

The introduction contained the cultivation methods for the Five Bodies Realm, Qi Condensing Realm, Yuan Aura Realm, and the Grasping Aura into Pill technique.

Due to the suppression of the Heavenly Dao, the martial path in this world had decayed to its weakest state. According to the description in the Xuan Tian Scripture, the Embracing Pill Realm was supposed to be equivalent to the Immortal Path's Soul Condensing.

Song Lingxue, who was currently at the Yuan Aura level, should correspond to the Entry Dao Realm level of cultivation. Yet now, she was merely equivalent to a cultivator at the Spirit Spring Realm, a difference of dozens of times indeed.

It was foreseeable that, were she to leave the Cangyun Realm, Song Lingxue's strength would undoubtedly undergo a tremendous transformation due to the change in the heavenly and earthly environment.

As for the Xuan Tian Scripture, Chu Zheng had no intention of practicing it because he truly had no dantian to harbor the martial qi. Currently practicing dual cultivation systems, he was already forced to open his Middle Dantian prematurely.

The Upper Dantian is the place of nurturing the spirit. Whether in the Immortal Path or the Qi Refining lineage, the ultimate energy would converge there, and it should not be lightly disturbed.

Besides, the martial path in the Cangyun Realm was a very challenging one.

It wasn't just the lack of cultivation methods, there was also suppression between heaven and earth.

Chu Zheng's path of Qi Refining was the same, and yet it was different.

Having survived a major calamity, the recognition he received from heaven and earth had elevated to a considerably high degree.

Moreover, in the current Cangyun Realm, apart from Chu Zheng, there was no second Qi Cultivator, so the heavenly fate allotted to the Qi Refining path was now being enjoyed solely by him.

The disparity was enormous.

After initially repairing the Xuan Tian Scripture, Chu Zheng had Song Yun start from scratch with martial practice from the Five Bodies Realm.

As for Bai Nian, he had no such inclination himself. He was very aware of his own capabilities; his talent in martial arts was truly poor, unable to make any achievements, so he decided not to waste too much energy on it.

Aside from his fixed daily practices, Bai Nian spent the rest of his time reading. The books and scrolls gathered by Chu Zheng during his free time were mostly stacked in the Small World, enough for him to pass the time.

Bai Nian's father, whose life or death was still unknown, was the next step planned by Chu Zheng after collecting the Xuan Tian Martial Barrier fragments: to look for the remaining Assistant Swords of the incomplete Heavenly Aura Sword Array.

Even if only a small part of the Heavenly Aura Sword Array could be assembled, for Chu Zheng at his current state, it would still become his greatest trump card. Without the Divine Infant coming out, there would be no one who could threaten him.

...

...

As time passed, the reputation of Chu Zheng, Grandmaster of Alchemy Dao, spread far and wide.

People from the Four Great Sacred Lands, excluding Taixuan, successively visited to pay respects. They were equally generous, far surpassing those Pill Masters.

A Saint Heir from Jinli Holy Land personally brought a Golden Sword Herb, a type of spirit object grown in spirit mines, inherently wooden yet brimming with metallic essence—quite rare, of Fourth Order quality.

A true disciple from Primordial Spirit Holy Land brought an Earth Elemental Spirit Embryo, a top-grade spiritual object among those of the earth attribute.

With these two spiritual objects to supplement, aided by the medicinal power of the Five Elements Shaping Pill, Chu Zheng was ready to begin attempting to condense his Celestial Foundation.

To avoid external disturbances, Chu Zheng released news that he would leave Emerald Light City for a period, with an uncertain return date.

Then he closed his doors and directly entered his Small World to begin a closed-door cultivation session.

Several days later, after adjusting his state to optimal, Chu Zheng commenced his first attempt.

Sitting cross-legged on the somewhat barren land, Chu Zheng breathed steadily, suddenly raising his hand, he popped a Fire Seed into his mouth, and then took out a gourd of Red Magma that he had previously obtained and drank it in one gulp.

His own cultivation was of the Taixuan Divine Fire Scripture, and coupled with the High Grade Fire Seed within his body, it was most fitting to start with a Fire Element Celestial Foundation.

The scorching temperature rose within his body, warming every limb and bone.

The abundant Fire Element Spiritual Energy surged within his body, and the speed at which the Five Elements Shaping Pill breathed in Spiritual Energy suddenly accelerated, further refined by Chu Zheng.

A crimson mana circulated to his dantian, and under Chu Zheng's deliberate control, it gradually compressed on one side beneath the Five Elements Shaping Pill, starting to take shape.

A hazy Dao Foundation appeared intermittently and only stabilized completely several hours later.

The moment the Dao Foundation formed, Chu Zheng's aura changed as he stepped into the Initial Stage of the Entry Dao Realm.

The fiery red Dao Foundation was divided into six layers, better than what Chu Zheng had anticipated in advance.

Off to a good start, Chu Zheng steadied his mind and immediately began shaping the other Celestial Foundations.

Under the heavenly fire, all things turn to ashes, therefore fire gives rise to earth.

The second step, starting with an Earth Element Celestial Foundation, was most fitting.

Chu Zheng took out the Earth Elemental Spirit Embryo, directly refined it into his body, and began attempting to shape the second Dao Foundation.

The greyish-yellow earth element mana circulated to his dantian, he repeated the earlier method, and began condensing the Dao Foundation again.

Crack—

The greyish-yellow Dao Foundation had just formed when it suddenly exploded, causing Chu Zheng's body to react as well, tearing open a foot-long wound, from which blood gushed like a fountain, soaking his clothes.

Chu Zheng was slightly startled inside, quickly calming down, he pulled up the repair interface, restoring his own injuries, and began attempting again.

After more than ten attempts, the second Dao Foundation still showed no progress.

Chu Zheng temporarily ceased his cultivation and fell into contemplation.

The inability to form the Dao Foundation was likely due to the difficulty in balancing the power of the Five Elements; fire can produce earth, but earth cannot reciprocate, making it difficult to mutually generate.

After pondering for a long while, he closed his eyes again and began to try another method.

This time, he didn't prioritize and swallowed the remaining types of spiritual objects, beginning to shape four Dao foundations simultaneously.

Just as Chu Zheng had guessed, the reaction in the Dantian wasn't as intense as at the beginning. Because the Five Elements were complete, it instead became somewhat more stable.

However, when it came to condensing the Dao foundations, Chu Zheng still faced numerous obstacles, and the foundations were continuously difficult to form.

After repeated failures, Chu Zheng finally figured out some key issues.

It related to the method of cultivation.

The method of condensing Celestial Foundation in the Taixuan Divine Fire Scripture was not applicable to the other foundations.

Not all Celestial Foundations could be condensed using the same method. A slight deviation could lead to greater errors. This distinction was even more evident on the path of cultivation and required Chu Zheng to explore on his own.

In the process of condensing, Chu Zheng's Dantian exploded multiple times, almost completely ruining his cultivation. If it weren't for innate repair abilities, his own Fire Element Foundation would have been affected and could even have directly collapsed.

Chu Zheng repeatedly tried, maintaining the balance between the Five Elements foundations through continuously activating the medicinal power of the Five Elements Shaping Pill.

After endless attempts, Chu Zheng finally managed to forcefully establish the other four foundations.

However, apart from the Fire Element, the other four foundations were uneven, merely one or two layers thick and seemingly on the verge of collapse.

This was related to the lack of methods to condense the foundations. But now, this was the best Chu Zheng could do. Stay with the story on m v l e m p y r

With the Fire Element dominating within the Dantian, Chu Zheng could only try, by means of Qi-refining techniques, to heavily extract the Fire Element Qi to barely maintain the balance of the Five Elements.

This extracted Fire Element Qi, a part of it merged with the fire seed of the Heavenly Star Flame, while the other part, Chu Zheng used to nurture the Heavenly Aura Broken Sword and the Town Immortal Mace.

Only then did the situation within the Dantian gradually stabilize.

But this was just a temporary measure. Once the medicinal power of the Five Elements Shaping Pill was exhausted, the current balance would still collapse.

Before that happened, Chu Zheng needed to find a new method to strengthen the other foundations.

After the Five Elements foundations were formed, they also gave Chu Zheng a great surprise. At the center of the Five Elements foundations, the Yin Yang Dual Qi had subtly begun to emerge.

In the future, when deploying the Thunder Method, he could save a lot of effort and directly control the thunder through the foundations.

Moreover, once the Five Elements foundations reached perfection, he could even directly use the Yin Yang Dual Qi to condense the Soul, having the chance to advance further and nurture a Divine Infant in the Soul Condensing Realm ahead of schedule.

......

......

Above the vast sky, fierce winds howled, and the air filled with dense clouds, hinting at an impending storm.

A figure cut through the sky, its escape light conspicuous, Miao Luan's robe soaked with blood, her Divine Sense scanning all directions, her expression extremely unsightly.

During this period, five Soul Condensing monks had died at her hands, but these loose cultivators hadn't given up in the slightest, relentlessly pursuing her with endless tricks.

Moreover, these people clearly had many informants constantly tracking her movements, continually trapping her within the Immortal Emerald Continent, and not giving her a chance to seek help.

At this step, Miao Luan had to admit that she had severely underestimated the difficulty of these cultivators.

The only good news was that with the combat power of these cultivators, they still couldn't detain her, at least she was safe for now.

All of a sudden, several streaks of escape light appeared ahead, Miao Luan's expression tightened, and she immediately became extremely cautious.

A few breaths later, as the escape light approached, a female cultivator appeared in the lead, her body covered in wounds, nearly naked, with two Soul Condensing monks chasing her, the situation dire.

After a brief hesitation, Miao Luan grit her teeth, a faint blue light flashing in her hand, she slashed out several sword lights.

The blossoms of sword lights streaked across the sky, interrupting the actions of the two Soul Condensing monks, aiding the woman out of the dangerous situation.

Even though she was in danger herself, she still extended a helping hand, as she also needed assistance at this moment.

"Thank you, fellow Daoist."

The woman came to Miao Luan's side, adjusted her torn robe covering her chest, her face filled with gratitude.

"No need."

Miao Luan shook her head slightly, her gaze vigilantly sweeping around. If there were others apart from these two Soul Condensing monks, her situation could become extremely perilous.

In her tense state of mind, she did not notice that the nearly naked female cultivator was now less than three feet away from her.

When the distance closed to within two feet, the female cultivator suddenly looked up, her eyes chillingly cold, a black short dagger, over three inches long, suddenly appeared in her previously empty palm.

Shick—

The next instant, the black dagger was deeply plunged into Miao Luan's Dantian, then swiftly sliced upward, nearly splitting her open completely.

Miao Luan's expression drastically changed, murderous intent surging in her eyes, her palm flipped, releasing a faint blue water light from her sleeve.

The gentle droplets, yet as heavy as a thousand jun, exploded with a piercing screech in the void.

Miao Luan's counterattack was so fierce it was frightening. The female cultivator hadn't even reacted when her upper body exploded like a splash of water, scattering a bloody aureole, instantly dying on the spot.

Kaboom—

A flash of lightning streaked through the sky, several bolts tearing the heavens, and in an instant, a heavy rain poured down.

In a blink, Miao Luan was surrounded by a faint blue light, her figure blending into the rain like a droplet, and she vanished in an instant.

A barely perceptible glow broke through the void, heading straight for the direction of Emerald Light City.

This place was too far from Tai Xu Holy Land, but if she could make it back to Emerald Light City, she still had a chance of survival.

Being a Grandmaster of Alchemy in terms of cultivation achievement, her level wasn't merely that of divine transformation, but at least that of a Great Saint.

That senior, whose depth was unknown, might not lend a hand to help her, but should at least give her a chance to catch her breath and seek help.
