Qi Cultivation Starting from the Repair Panel

He no longer lingered, took out the Star-shatter Shuttle, and rushed non-stop to the entrance of the space passage.

...

...

Giant Marsh Country.

The moment the divine sound arose, heavy thunder clouds enveloped tens of thousands of miles, obliterating the sun from the sky. The entire Giant Marsh was cast into utmost darkness, where one could not see their own fingers.

Only the occasional flashes of lightning could bring a trace of light.

Boom—

Dazzling lightning roiled within the clouds before quickly solidifying into a Thundering Giant Sword spanning more than a hundred thousand miles, which then slashed down thunderously.

Crack—

Along with a crisp cracking sound, a fissure abruptly appeared at the Sky Summit, and visible grey mist started to seep out, enveloping Giant Marsh like a fog, quickly dissipating at an alarming rate.

A considerable portion of the grey mist was swept up by the thunderclouds and turned into a grey long arrow, shooting deep into the starry sky and disappearing into the Chaos in the blink of an eye.

Moments later, the thunderclouds dispersed, and the sun's radiance fell, yet it was unable to penetrate into the Giant Marsh anymore.

Thick grey clouds obscured the firmament, and an indescribable, eerie aura spread throughout the mountains, rivers, and vegetation.

The spiritual energy was gradually eroded and consumed. Soon, cultivators noticed something amiss as the mana within them started to decline. The air around them seemed to be mixed with some intense poison, starting to corrode their bodies.

At the same time, within their minds, illusions proliferated. Their Divine Souls experienced unprecedented fierce impacts. For a moment, their spiritual consciousness became clouded, nearly plunging them into an endless nightmare.

In the numerous rivers and waterways of Giant Marsh, the water began to boil. Many water demons were the first to transform, as if their bodies had been taken over by some alien force, and their power surged to varying degrees.

Soon, the water demons began to come ashore, plunging the entire Giant Marsh into chaos, resulting in countless bloody slaughters.

Only cultivators above the Entry Dao Realm managed to maintain some rationality and sent out calls for help to the outside world.

Due to the presence of the alien realm space passage, the Holy Lands had set up defensive lines in this area. They soon noticed the anomaly and sounded the alarm to the outside world.

At the same time that the space passage in Giant Marsh was opened, an even more astonishing event occurred above a stretch of the sea.

Here was the entrance to the Cangyun Secret Realm.

Thunderclouds shrouded tens of thousands of miles of the sea area. The Immortal Patterns that suppressed the Cangyun Secret Realm were activated, appearing intricate and complex, profound and indecipherable.

These Immortal Patterns, created by a supreme Immortal King, had become partially damaged over time and needed repair.

The rumbling of lightning resounded once more, crystallizing again into a Thundering Giant Sword, which abruptly smashed down.

Boom—

The earth-shaking explosion spread throughout the Cangyun Realm, and the massive surge of energy instantly created a vacuum of tens of thousands of miles in the sky above the vast ocean.

The endless sea water was instantly compressed, and the marine creatures in that area, even if their strength was as high as the Fifth or even Sixth Order, could not make the slightest noise. In the blink of an eye, they were all ground into blood that stained a vast expanse of the sea.

Crack—

A gigantic fissure abruptly emerged on the barrier of the Cangyun Secret Realm, spanning thousands of miles, clearly visible.

The Immortal Patterns above it twisted and changed, intertwining into a net, struggling to repair the breach.

Before the breach could heal, the Thundering Giant Sword slashed down again. The might wrapped around this blade was even more terrifying, instantly severing the Immortal Patterns completely.

The next instant, lightning solidified into a palm nearly a million miles wide, sweeping across the Secret Realm, grabbing countless spiritual objects wrapped in treasure light and a large number of corpses, and throwing them all into a space passage.

As the barrier of the Cangyun Secret Realm was breached, streams of immense spiritual energy began to flow into the Cangyun Realm, instantly altering the environment of heaven and earth.

In that instant, the Heavenly Dao underwent tremendous changes. After a violent rolling of the thunderclouds above the firmament, they quickly dissipated, restoring calmness.

...

...

Chu Zheng exhaustedly urged the Star-shatter Shuttle forward, spending a day to finally arrive in front of the space passage.

At this time, there were already quite a few figures at the space passage, all with cultivation fluctuations above the Divine Infant stage.

Cultivators that had ventured to the other side of the alien realm had already begun to return.

Soon, Chu Zheng spotted Geng Yiyang and others in the crowd.

A smile unconsciously surfaced on his face but vanished in a moment.

Compared to when they left, there were far fewer people around Geng Yiyang.

The head of the Punishment Hall, Ge Yuan; the head of the Artifact Refining Hall, Qi Ying; the master of the Alchemy Hall, Gong Ru Long; and more than a dozen Great Mysterious Elders were no longer present.

It was ultimately due to his advancing age and the decline from his heyday that the slightest carelessness in the battlefield beyond his domain could lead to catastrophe.

If it wasn't for Geng Yiyang's need to control the Immortal Flame, he most likely wouldn't have been able to return.

Geng Yiyang slowly walked up to Chu Zheng, cleared his throat with a soft cough, and smiled:

"Let's go, it's time to go home."

This time, being able to return and glance at Taixuan once more was already no small feat.

Chu Zheng was about to speak when suddenly, a vast tide of Spiritual Energy swept by from the side.

All the cultivators noticed this change, their expressions varied, and those with cultivation reaching the peak of Tongxuan all revealed shocked and delighted expressions in their eyes.

"Quickly return to Taixuan!"

With an excited look in his eyes, Geng Yiyang exclaimed.

"I can feel the imminent arrival of the Immortal Tribulation!"

An unusual motion came from the control panel, and after Chu Zheng glanced at it, his expression was slightly startled.

The daily refresh count for fixes rose steadily and soon stayed at twenty.

At the same moment, utilizing the keen sensitivity of a Qi Cultivator, he perceived the changes in Heavenly Fate, which felt extremely similar to what he had experienced in the Cangyun Secret Realm.

He quickly surmised that something must have happened within the Cangyun Secret Realm to lead to such a change.

...

...

Upon returning to the Tai Xu Holy Land, Geng Yiyang immediately began secluded cultivation.

If he could step into the Immortal Tribulation Realm, there would be a chance to extend his limited lifespan, and naturally, he did not want to miss this opportunity and needed some time to prepare.

A few days later, the turmoil in both the Cangyun Secret Realm and the Giant Marsh spread quickly among the various Holy Lands, causing a seismic stir.

With the collapse of the Cangyun Secret Realm, the Heavenly Dao True Spirit inside was released, and the Heavenly Fate Laws naturally underwent significant changes.

In the ancient Cangyun Realm, there existed a hundred Taoist Orthodoxies, among which inevitably included a part of the Heavenly Fate belonging to other orthodoxies, greatly affecting the Immortal Path cultivators.

This was also true for Chu Zheng. The proportion of Heavenly Fate he occupied was greatly reduced, but since he originally possessed a large share, there wasn't much overall change, and he even gained some benefits.

Regarding Giant Marsh, various forces paid close attention, successively revealing Immortal Treasures and setting up grand formations to completely seal off the Giant Marsh.

However, apart from some mentally disturbed magical beasts and cultivators, they did not encounter any traces of evil demons.

...

...

In the blink of an eye, half a month passed, and the Immortal Alliance sent three True Immortals, bringing the latest news from the alliance.

The current war situation with the Myriad Realms was stable, with mutual gains, and on the whole, the Immortal Alliance had the upper hand.

It wouldn't be long before this war would subside.

Zhao Tingxian, who had been in charge of the Heavenly Dao, was derelict in his duties and had been expelled from the Immortal Alliance. This news was for the cultivators throughout the Cangyun Realm.

Beyond this public information, as the Holy Master of the Taixuan Holy Land, Chu Zheng, taking advantage of his status, also became privy to many secrets.

The most astonishing of these was related to Zhao Tingxian.

Refusing to submit to the law, Zhao Tingxian took advantage of the Immortal Alliance's unpreparedness, killed a Celestial Lord who had come to hold him accountable, and fled into the Chaos Sea.

The incident in the Cangyun Realm was not solely his doing, as many within the alliance, including several Immortal Venerables and even an Immortal King, were involved.

Given the large scale of the situation, with too many involved for collective punishment, and with the Immortal Alliance currently unable to spare manpower to pursue and kill, they could only temporarily let it be.

After the Cangyun Immortal King's verdict, the space passage of the Giant Marsh Country was breached along with the defenses of the Cangyun Secret Realm, releasing the Heavenly Dao True Spirit.

If it hadn't been for their inability to do so, the Cangyun Immortal King would have already personally dealt with this matter.

For the Immortal Alliance, this situation was extremely thorny, as they were unable to spare another Immortal King to suppress the Heavenly Dao in the Cangyun Realm.

Zhao Tingxian's crime was one of betrayal against the alliance.

According to Immortal Alliance law, the punishment should be the annihilation of his lineage, the extermination of his clan, the end of his descendants, and the severing of reincarnation.

However, considering the meritorious services of Tai Xu Holy Land in resisting the evil demons of the Myriad Realms, and after several True Immortals pleaded on their behalf, the Immortal Alliance waived the death penalty for the Tai Xu Holy Land, but the blood relatives of Zhao Tingxian could not escape death.

Nonetheless, the True Immortals were a step late; after scouring the entire Cangyun Realm, they found not a single blood relative of the Zhao Clan.
