Qi Cultivation Starting from the Repair Panel

Once the entrance to the Great Tomb closed, a Blood Tribulation would befall, dooming all living creatures within to death and becoming nourishment for the tomb.

Moreover, after the tomb closed this time, there was no telling when the entrance would open again.

This place concealed great secrets and was related to the mightiest beings in the universe, where a Taoist Master was buried. He sought to leave his mark through the ages and to enter the Realm of Ancient Myths.

Furthermore, the Great Commander, Gongyi Zi Yu, was a creature of the Vast Universe, indicating that this buried Taoist Master might have had numerous connections to the Vast Universe as well.

The cause and effect involved were significant, potentially affecting the power dynamics within the Chaos Sea. Given Chu Zheng's current cultivation level, it was best for him to stay far away.

After receiving a message from Chu Zheng, Jian Shier rushed over, his appearance somewhat hurried.

"After you succeed in overcoming the tribulation, if your wounds prove hard to heal, find a place to lay low and send me your location. I will come to find you."

With that said, he handed Chu Zheng a bowl of Holy Blood, casually opened a spatial passage, and then left directly, without following as he had the last time.

With the impending closure of the Great Tomb, as a Commander-level existence, Jian Shier had matters to attend to.

Moreover, he had taken note of Gongyi Zi Yu's words from before, no longer showing the same level of concern for Chu Zheng as he once had.

The second great tribulation had already proved so difficult; naturally, each successive one would only grow tougher. If Chu Zheng failed to overcome this tribulation, all would be lost.

Chu Zheng understood this perfectly. In the end, their relationship was nothing more than a chance encounter. Jian Shier had shown him as much kindness and duty as could be, leaving a debt of gratitude.

It was actually a good thing that Jian Shier did not accompany him this time; it left Chu Zheng with much autonomy, allowing him to easily leave the Great Tomb and avoiding many complications.

After passing through the spatial passage, Chu Zheng returned to the Second Mountain Pass of the Great Tomb.

The world lacked vitality, a picture of desolation. The sky was overcast, the Yin Qi thickened considerably compared to before, suggesting an increase, and the daylight was dim and gloomy.

Chu Zheng took a deep breath and, confirming his physical body was fully prepared, he immediately evoked the Heavenly Tribulation.

Boom—

The sky underwent a sudden change, and within moments, dark thunderclouds roiled over tens of thousands of miles, and fierce lightning like flood dragons swept across the clouds, illuminating heaven and earth.

The golden hair around Chu Zheng's body had already shed significantly, and the remaining strands began to fall away one by one, revealing large patches of bluish-grey skin.

The blood within his body, previously congealed, now showed signs of flowing once again and was no longer as stagnant as before.

Crack—

Pale purple lightning fell from the sky, tearing through the pitch-darkness and striking directly at Chu Zheng's Baihui point.

In an instant, purple light pierced the sky.

Chu Zheng exhaled a mouthful of Turbid Qi and pulled a stream of light from the void with his hand, positioning it in front of him.

The pale cyan light solidified into a bolt of fabric, like a stretch of the Milky Way cascading down, shielding him from the fierce lightning.

The Frost Radiance Heavenly Brocade, a top-grade Holy Artifact, the most valued treasure Chu Zheng currently possessed in his hands.

A few breaths later, the cyan light enveloping the Frost Radiance Heavenly Brocade was pierced by the lightning, rolled back upon itself, and retreated. The remnants of the lightning's power, like a Spiritual Spring pouring down, rolled over Chu Zheng's body.

Boom!

Chu Zheng staggered, and the pitch-black, rugged earth beneath his feet suddenly crumbled, with much of his hair falling out and cracks appearing in his flesh.

The power Chu Zheng currently possessed was insufficient to unleash the true might of the Frost Radiance Heavenly Brocade.

After all, the strength of the Yin Corpse lay in its physical body, and its mana could not really be considered strong.

A Seventh Order Supreme Treasure could still rely on the True Spirit within to fight autonomously, displaying combat power not inferior to that of ordinary living creatures. Yet, higher grade artifacts such as Eighth Order Holy Artifacts and Immortal Treasures had lost this ability.

It was as if an additional shackle had been added; they required manipulation by a living creature or the expenditure of considerable energy or resources in order to be activated and display even a fraction of their true power.

The thunder struck down once more, swift and fierce like a dragon, giving Chu Zheng no chance to catch his breath.

Chu Zheng casually drew forth a stream of Primordial Qi, injecting it into the Frost Radiance Heavenly Brocade and once again spread it out.

He had amassed a fair amount of Primordial Qi; though still unable to unleash the full power of the Frost Radiance Heavenly Brocade, it was enough to serve as protection for Chu Zheng.

This time, the Frost Radiance Heavenly Brocade held on for a few moments longer, yet it still couldn't completely block the thunder.

The remaining force of the thunder, carrying with it the intense Yang Qi, surged into Chu Zheng's body. In that instant, it seemed as though his physical body underwent some type of transformation, and the stagnant blood within him began to circulate faintly.

After five successive Heavenly Thunders, Chu Zheng's golden hair shed greatly again, and except for the full head of golden hair, his upper body was almost indistinguishable from that of an ordinary person, though his skin was slightly pale.

With the assistance of the Frost Radiance Heavenly Brocade, Chu Zheng's experience of the tribulation here was far less wretched than the last time, allowing him spare energy to pay attention to where his true body was.

Using this tribulation, his true body again consumed vast amounts of Immortal Qi, and his cultivation soared once more, spanning two realms, from the Fifthfold of Immortal Tribulation directly into the Seventhfold of Immortal Tribulation.

This dramatic increase in cultivation had already shown signs of becoming uncontrollable; his Spirit Platform wavered, his Dantian hung overhead, and the aura around his body was unstable.

After sensing carefully for a moment, Chu Zheng detected the anomaly.

Ordinary Immortal Path Cultivators, upon entering the Immortal Tribulation Secret Realm, would rely on their own understanding of Law Theory to open up a Small World. Using the Small World as a foundation, they would suppress the continuously surging immortal power within themselves.

Without a Small World as a foundation, one's Immortal Qi would involuntarily rise and press against the Spirit Platform Bai Hui, causing the Divine Origin to be restless and significantly affected.

Immortals, being light in form and faint in presence, would find it difficult to control themselves without something to bind them; there were many legends of ascending to the heavens in broad daylight, the majority of which stemmed from this.

Without a world as support, even a True Immortal would find it challenging to stay in an ordinary Great Realm and would inevitably ascend to the Great Universe. The reason for this, with Chu Zheng's current perspective, was still difficult to explain.

So far, Chu Zheng had never attempted Opening Realm because creating a Small World required the consumption of numerous resources, and the advancement of cultivation would also be limited by the Small World in some ways.

If Chu Zheng had created a Small World early on, even with a clone to bear the calamity and Immortal Qi to support him, his current level of cultivation would not have risen as rapidly.

But now, he had no choice but to attempt to open up a world. In the Seventhfold of Immortal Tribulation Realm, in the Late Stage of the Immortal Tribulation Secret Realm, the distance to the True Immortal Realm was now just a step away.

If he delayed any longer, he would find it difficult to remain in the Qingyun Realm, and moving to other Great Realms would also bring many troubles.

After some contemplation, Chu Zheng suddenly lowered his head and looked at the Condensing Space Bracelet, a flicker of consideration appearing in his eyes.

To open his own world, he still needed to search for some Spiritual Objects, and expend a lot of mental effort to shape the Laws within the realm, which would take a considerable amount of time.

The Small World connected to the Condensing Space Bracelet already existed. If he used this as a foundation, the resources and energy he would need to expend to Open Realm would be greatly reduced.
