Qi Cultivation Starting from the Repair Panel-Chapter 552 - 391: Upper Realm Great Saint
Chapter 552 -391: Upper Realm Great Saint
Each Heavenly Fate has a True Spirit, and when there are enough cultivators, various celestial phenomena naturally arise.
The sound of the Dao resonating is like knives and swords; should heretic cultivators hear it, it’s as if thunder crashes in their ears. Without enough cultivation, they will be terrified, defeated without a fight.
With the tolling of the death bell, the news of the Martial Ancestor’s death spread throughout the Great Universe in an instant via all the Ancestral Realm powerhouses.
The various paths had different reactions.
Cultivators from the various Taoist orthodoxy of the Myriad Realms retreated from the Ten Thousand Realms Battlefield, returning one by one to the Myriad Realms, no longer lingering near the boundaries. Gradually, the distinctions between them and the Immortal Alliance became clear again.
The Immortal Alliance began purging remaining evil demons within the realm, dispersing evil qi, and set up grand arrays to channel spiritual energy veins through many Heaven Passes, rejuvenating numerous star domains.
This is an extremely lengthy process. Amid successive battles, these star domains, affected by the upheaval, were almost completely annihilated and require a long time to recover to their former state.
During this upheaval of the universe, the Immortal Alliance suffered the most severe damage and needs time to restore its vitality.
The Martial Hall urgently recalled all the Martial Emperors. Presently, the Martial Hall has a vacancy for an Ancestral Realm position; the last half of Heaven’s Fortune of the All Heavens has already fallen into the Martial Hall’s hands.
This vacancy requires cautious deliberation.
The current Ancestral Realm members of the Martial Hall must also choose someone to succeed the position of ‘Martial Ancestor,’ leading the entire martial path.
Ji Zhouyin, the Hall Master of the Martial Hall, unsurprisingly and promptly assumed the position of Martial Ancestor.
As the Vice Hall Master of the Martial Hall, Fu Pinglan also had a chance, but he missed the opportunity as he was still in seclusion looking for his eyes lost in the Primordial Era.
Thus, the main war faction, led by the Heavenly Punishment Martial Ancestor, was once again forcibly suppressed by Ji Zhouyin.
The Great Universe is about to enter a relatively stable and peaceful period.
…
…
Boundary.
After accepting the Heavenly Fate left by the Martial Ancestor, the Immortal Ancestor did not leave, standing at the junction of the two realms, not moving a step.
After a long while, he looked around, and deep inside his eyes, a gentle cyan Immortal Light flashed, instantly gathering all the Heavenly Fate of the Immortal Path.
Together with the gift from the Martial Ancestor at the end, the Heavenly Fate he can control now has reached an unprecedented two and a half, comparable to the former Ancestral Dao.
In an instant, his gaze pierced through the ages, roaming through ancient times and the present.
In a blur, he saw an unprecedented path upon the river of time and space.
That path was extremely distant from him, like a flower in a mirror, visible but unreachable.
After looking for some time without any findings, he withdrew his gaze and turned to face the future.
Just as he turned around, a sudden chill ran down his spine, and goosebumps erupted all over his body.
Unbeknownst to him, a figure quietly stood not far behind him, its appearance indistinct, save for a pair of pale golden eyes emitting an eerie glow.
“Who might you be?”
The Immortal Ancestor asked solemnly, his eyes full of an undeniable steadiness.
Just as he finished speaking, the figure not far ahead had already turned around, walking onto the blurry path heading straight into the future and disappeared instantly.
That person has come from the past.
The Immortal Ancestor immediately realized, demeanor stern, that although he gathered two and a half of Heavenly Fate, he could only barely see that path. Yet this person could traverse from the ancient past using it, indicating at least four parts of Heavenly Fate were carried with him, if not more.
Could this person be the one who helped the Ancestral Dao in that ancient war?
With two and a half Heavenly Fate, he didn’t even have the qualification to see that person’s appearance clearly…
For a while, the Immortal Ancestor let the Immortal Light in his eyes fade away, exited the river of time and space, and looked at the boundary before him, remaining silent.
He suddenly recalled what the Martial Ancestor had once said.
Above the Ancestral Realm, there is still a path.
…
…
Amidst a desolate star domain, a meteor quietly drifted through the starry sky, leaving a faint blue trail.
Deep within the meteor, Chu Zheng sat cross-legged, calming his breath, while the Yin Yang Dual Qi in his body circulated, stabilizing his cultivation foundation.
Having crossed the Yin Yang Tribulations, he was now a Seven Tribulations True Immortal, waiting for the Yin and Yang to merge to enter the Eight Tribulations.
Thanks to the blessing of Daoist Venerable Zheng Chu, the Tribulation Qi beside Chu Zheng had completely dissipated, leaving him unfettered.
Without the disturbance of Tribulation Qi, his Qi Refinement cultivation steadily increased, with the Mid-stage of Heavenly Immortal nearing perfection.
Ordinary Qi Cultivators at this stage face numerous tribulations, requiring them to endure 6,600 calamities. Without methods to endure tribulation, at least tens of thousands of years are needed, not to mention the associated dangers.
Even with avatar tribulation methods, without enough opportunities, it would still require an exceedingly long time. The path Chu Zheng walked, even for a Qi Cultivator, without a repair panel, could not possibly be replicated.
Buzz—
The monitoring jade token hanging at his waist lit up slightly, sending two messages. Chu Zheng slowly opened his eyes and delved his Divine Sense into it.
[The Martial Ancestor has filled the gaps with his life, his merits pervade all ways. All belonging to the Immortal Path must wear mourning for three years to offer tribute to the Ancestral Spirit, violators will be executed on the spot!]
[All Heavenly Judges and Inspectors from the Punishment Authority are to immediately start integrating nearby star domains’ forces to cleanse the remaining evil demons within the Great Universe.]
The Martial Ancestor… has passed?
Seeing the information coming from the monitoring jade token, Chu Zheng was momentarily dazed, recalling his brief encounter with the Martial Ancestor before, his mind was suddenly unsettled.
He felt an inexplicable sadness for the Martial Ancestor’s death.
The Martial Ancestor clearly knew many secrets and was certainly acquainted with Daoist Venerable Zheng Chu, perhaps even very familiar.
If circumstances allowed, he actually had many questions to ask.
During that encounter, the Martial Ancestor had said that if he were still Yan Feng under the master’s tutelage, he would surely have killed him. This implied some unknown grievances between the Martial Ancestor and Daoist Venerable Zheng Chu.
The master he spoke of might also be deeply involved in this.
Unfortunately, he’s afraid he’ll never be able to learn these secrets from the Martial Ancestor’s mouth again.
After a while, Chu Zheng’s emotions gradually stabilized, he stood up, passed through the array, and walked out of the meteor.
He did not reveal his form but transformed into a wisp of breeze, wandering through the starry sky.
The star domain he had originally chosen was a demon-occupied land, now more so, as he sensed some extremely strong terrifying auras, with demons stepping into the Ninth Order, orchestrating the situation.
A casual glance and Chu Zheng could see the continuously gathering demons.
On the outermost edge of the star domain, there was faint Immortal Light; Immortal Alliance cultivators had already arrived, hunting the evil demons with nowhere to retreat.
Chu Zheng carefully avoided those powerful demons, waiting for opportunities. When he encountered solitary demons, he would thunderously strike them down.
His battle merits, guaranteed by the Moonlight Immortal Ancestor, are now calculated at three times the usual rate; earning merit points during this time would also allow him to exchange for some valuable items later on.
Three years had passed by a flick of the fingers.
The battlefield occupied by demons was extremely vast, and in these more than three years, the outermost Immortal Light’s advance had been quite limited, meeting strong resistance.
Chu Zheng, however, reaped abundance; apart from battle merits, he also collected some fragments of high-level treasures.
As usual, after lifting his hand to slay an Eighth Order Fifth Layer demon, Chu Zheng suddenly sensed a movement and raised his head.
In the distant sky, starlight suddenly erupted, a cyan battle halberd cleaving through the other side of the starry sky, accompanied by a monstrous blood flame extending from the end of the starry sky.
Chu Zheng held his breath, examining with concentration, and soon the information of the newcomer impressed upon his mind.
[Song Lingxue (Ninth Order): Bone age two thousand seven hundred fifty-two, cultivation Ninth Order Third Layer, Martial Hall’s Hall Master’s true inheritor, ruler of the Lingxue Realm, mainly cultivates “Martial Arts Scripture,” forcibly refined a Great Realm, and the Dao Fruit within is nearing perfection, soon to bloom Dao Flower.]
Ninth Order Third Layer…
Chu Zheng was momentarily stunned, and as he came to his senses, his mind was struck with a thunderous realization, Upper Realm Great Saint?!
