Qi Cultivation Starting from the Repair Panel

The sounds of transmission rose, and Nie Longhu amongst the crowd suddenly startled, feeling the voice somewhat familiar in an instant.

He looked around for a moment, and then spotted a figure seated cross-legged in the starry sky in the distance.

Draped in an Immortal Robe, wearing a Monitoring Jade Order on his waist, one could see he was no older than twenty at first glance, with black hair draped over his shoulders and golden Divine Runes flowing in his eyes.

Heavenly Immortals cannot hide themselves; as a Qi Cultivator himself, Nie Longhu recognized at once the body of the figure before him, etched with Jade Bone sculpted by the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi.

This was clearly a Qi Cultivator with profound Cultivation.

After closely examining the face of the person in front, Nie Longhu was slightly stunned for a moment, unsure, and transmitted a questioning voice:

"Chu... Zheng?"

The name Chu Zheng, after several large actions by the Immortal Alliance, had become widely known in the Ten Thousand Realms.

The youngest True Immortal, who also practiced Qi-refining Techniques—upon hearing these messages, he immediately thought of Chu Zheng whom he encountered during a previous incarnation undergoing tribulations.

However, having not met the real person before, he always hesitated to confirm.

In the Great Universe, there are too many people with the same name; it could also be a coincidence.

But now, Chu Zheng not far away, completely shattered the last bit of luck in his heart.

Noticing the unmasked aura emanating from Chu Zheng, Nie Longhu felt even more chilled inside; Four Tribulations True Immortal with Early Stage of Heavenly Immortal nearing Perfection, under fifty years old with such cultivation level, it is nothing short of shocking.

His own Cultivation level is similarly at the Early Stage of Heavenly Immortal, but not having completed the tribulations, barely comparable to a Second Tribulations True Immortal, practically worlds apart from Chu Zheng's present Cultivation level.

In other words, standing before Chu Zheng now, he could be vanquished in the blink of an eye.

Chu Zheng, unaware of the storm brewing in Nie Longhu's heart, nodded in greeting but did not transmit further as the leading Nine Tribulations True Immortal was already approaching him.

[Liu Tianrui (Eighth Order): Bone age 29,744, Cultivation level Nine Tribulations True Immortal, possesses the Eight Treasures Spiritual Body, focuses on the Glazed Glass Immortal Scripture, Immortal Alliance Inspector, 'Liu Family' Pure-blooded Immortal Descendant.]

Liu Tianrui, holding a Monitoring Jade Order, spoke in a slow voice:

"Inspector Chu, I bear the command of the Immortal Alliance to lead fellow cultivators from the Ten Thousand Realms to the front line to combat the Evil Demons, please allow us to pass."

As soon as these words fell, the Monitoring Jade Order at Chu Zheng's waist immediately responded to the passage command from the Punishment Authority.

Although Liu Tianrui's strength far surpassed Chu Zheng's, being fellows in the Punishment Authority, some rules cannot be ignored; to pass this place, a command from the Punishment Authority is necessary.

"The front is perilous, every edge harsh enough to slice flesh and bone, Lord Liu please be cautious."

Chu Zheng, without further words, dissolved the Arrays in the surrounding starry sky and allowed them to pass as ordered.

"It's all a battlefield, everywhere is the same, Inspector Chu guarding the outer perimeter also bears a heavy burden."

Liu Tianrui waved his hand, glanced at a group of Ten Thousand Realms Cultivators nearby, and suddenly said:

"Why not invite a few fellow cultivators from the Ten Thousand Realms to stay here to lend you a hand?"

From start to finish, his attitude was very mild, even conveying a sense of closeness.

Given Chu Zheng's currently sensitive identity, a Immortal Path Cultivator who also practices Qi Techniques, under the current alliance conditions between the Immortal Alliance and the Ten Thousand Realms, naturally becomes very delicate.

Putting these aside, just Chu Zheng's own talent alone is enough to be startling; unless absolutely necessary, there is no need to become enemies with him.

Moreover, just a few soft words and a favor in passing cost nothing; if it could earn some shallow friendly relations, it would be an extremely profitable deal.

Chu Zheng's eyes flickered slightly, and he subconsciously glanced towards Nie Longhu; he indeed had some matters he wanted to discuss in detail with Nie Longhu.

Liu Tianrui followed Chu Zheng's gaze and realized something:

"That's good, cultivating the same Qi Techniques, this rare opportunity is perfect for an exchange. Wait a moment; I'll go and ask for you."

Upon meeting Chu Zheng's gaze, Nie Longhu felt a sense of foreboding and became even more perturbed as he saw Liu Tianrui heading straight his way.

After learning the purpose of Liu Tianrui's approach, the leading few Heavenly Immortals exchanged looks, and one of the women gazed at Nie Longhu at the end of the line and a young man beside him:

"Junior Brother Nie, Junior Brother Hao, the front lines are perilous. You two, being the weakest in cultivation and having accumulated considerable Tribulation Qi recently, might as well stay here to help guard the perimeter and avoid adding to the danger."

Upon hearing this, Nie Longhu was somewhat reluctant to speak; truthfully, he did not fancy staying in the same place as Chu Zheng.

From their brief interactions, he had roughly understood what kind of person Chu Zheng was; not all Qi Cultivators who liked to stir up trouble were fearless of death.

But Chu Zheng was truly unafraid of death, and his capability for causing trouble was far beyond any ordinary Qi Cultivator could reach.

However, before he could speak up, Junior Brother Hao had already nodded in agreement: "Thank you, Senior Sister Wei, for your concern."

Seeing this, Nie Longhu had no choice but to follow suit, bowing his head in gratitude. "Thank you, Senior Sister Wei."

No sooner had he given thanks than Senior Sister Wei's voice transmission reached his mind:

"If I'm not mistaken, that person is Chu Zheng. Junior Brother Hao is simple-minded and straightforward; take extra care of him. Try to probe Chu Zheng to see if he was involved with the previous Ancestral Dao. This matter is of utmost importance; do not startle him. If you can uncover some useful information, I will inform our master, and you will be greatly merited."

Nie Longhu was slightly startled; he could recognize Chu Zheng as a Qi Cultivator, and so naturally could the other Heavenly Immortals.

Clearly, the decision to leave him and Hao Mo behind was just going with the flow.

The previous Ancestral Dao was already dead, so why still probe for information about him?

At that moment, Nie Longhu's mind stirred; could it be that besides Heavenly Fate, the Ancestral Dao had left behind some other treasure?

By the time he gathered his senses again, the people of the Myriad Realms had already set off again, stepping into the spatial portal and disappearing without a trace.

Only Chu Zheng and two Qi Cultivators remained in the vast starry sky.

Chu Zheng did not hurry to speak; after glancing at Hao Mo, he cast a questioning look at Nie Longhu.

Nie Longhu gave a light cough, about to send Hao Mo away when the always silent Hao Mo stepped forward first and asked:

"Are you also a Qi Cultivator? Then why are you with the Immortal Alliance?"

As soon as he spoke, Hao Mo suddenly realized: "Are you Chu Zheng by any chance? I've heard your name; they said the Immortal Alliance was capturing you everywhere at first, so why are you working with them now? Who is your master? They say you have connections with the Ancestral Dao, is that true?"

Chu Zheng remained silent, extending his hand and casting a Spiritual Light, knocking Hao Mo unconscious.

With no one to disturb him, Chu Zheng finally greeted with a smile:

"Fellow Daoist Nie, long time no see. I trust you've been well."

"Your Qi Fortune is really so good it's almost against the heavens."

Nie Longhu had a complex expression; previously, had someone told him that the Myriad Realms might ally with the Immortal Alliance, he would never believe it.

With the identity of Chu Zheng as a Qi Cultivator, his position within the Immortal Alliance was almost always a deadly trap.

But who could have thought, he actually managed to live to see the day the Myriad Realms allied with the Immortal Alliance.
