Qi Cultivation Starting from the Repair Panel

Moreover, the Martial Path differs from the Immortal Path, as it is the way of vigorous blood and qi. When engaging with others, what is consumed is not mana but one's own blood and qi. Those who have fought too much in their lives often meet early deaths.

The Martial Hall's willingness to step in to help the Immortal Alliance quell the chaos has already put the Immortal Alliance in considerable debt.

"Daoist Kuang is being too polite. My surname is Pei, bestowed with the name 'Hengxing' by my master. Since the Martial Hall and the Immortal Alliance are allies, we should move forward or retreat together and resist foreign enemies."

Pei Hengxing shook his head, cupped his fists in a salute and spoke slowly:

"The breach in the Starry Sky Barrier has been repaired. There should no longer be beings from the Myriad Heavens and Realms crossing over. Our Martial Hall already has two Vice Hall Masters who have gone to investigate the causes of this war in All Heavens and the Myriad Realms. We expect results to be reported back soon."

The combined Heavenly Fate of All Heavens and Realms is no more than thirty percent, far less than the Immortal Alliance Martial Hall's share.

Heavenly Fate is the manifestation of strength. As long as we find the time, with the huge gap of ten percent Heavenly Fate, there will be no surprises in this battle. The victory of the Immortal Martial two paths is only a matter of time.

The current disadvantage in the war is merely because the Immortal Alliance Martial Hall joined the battle hastily, combined with some instability in the Vast Universe and demonic movements. Therefore, Immortal Kings, Immortal Venerables, and Great Saints of the Martial Path who guard various Heaven Passes cannot extricate themselves, resulting in a bit of scrambling for the time being.

Despite their clearly insufficient strength, All Heavens and Realms still initiated the war, presumably because of some earth-shattering change that occurred.

Hearing the news that the Starry Sky Barrier was sealed once again, both Kuang Tianxian and Yan Fusheng visibly relaxed.

"That's good."

Kuang Tianxian's expression eased considerably: "Looking at it this way, this war is not necessarily a bad thing for our Immortal Martial two paths."

As long as the breach is sealed, it means cutting off the supply lines of the Myriad Heavens and Realms. There will no longer be an endless stream of extraterritorial demons invading. In this manner, forcing our way into the worlds of All Heavens is only a matter of time.

Pushing the battlefield into the scope of All Heavens and Realms is good news for cultivators on both the Immortal and Martial sides, as at least there is room to advance or retreat.

"What Daoist Kuang has said is very true. The Myriad Heavens and Realms are elusive and hard to find. The proactive start of the war by the Myriad Heavens and Realms is a perfect opportunity to compete for a share of Heavenly Fate."

Pei Hengxing's demeanor was as calm as an ancient well, and he nodded and said: "If we can gain another ten percent of Heavenly Fate, our Martial Hall and the Immortal Alliance may have the chance to emulate the sages of Ancient Times, initiate the Dao battle, and therewith decide the fate of the cosmos in one battle."

When Pei Hengxing spoke, he did not conceal his words, and many cultivators around him heard them. For a moment, the atmosphere atop the Heaven Pass eased significantly.

"The struggle for Heavenly Fate is not so simple."

Kuang Tianxian shook his head, his gaze slightly intense:

"Even though All Heavens and Realms only possess thirty percent of Heavenly Fate, that Dao Ancestor from the Taoist School alone occupies twenty-five percent. If this person's stance aligns with either All Heavens or the Myriad Realms, how could our two paths, Immortal and Martial, stand a chance?"

Hearing the name of the Dao Ancestor, Pei Hengxing's expression became much more solemn, and he did not speak further.

All along, neither the Martial Hall nor the Immortal Alliance dared to take significant action against All Heavens and Realms precisely because they feared the presence of the Dao Ancestor. The Heavenly Fate carried by one individual was enough to suppress an entire path, and since the Primordial Era, there has only been one such person.

If the Dao Ancestor sides with All Heavens and Realms, then their share of Heavenly Fate would reach fifty-five percent. Starting the Dao battle, whether for the Immortal Alliance or the Martial Hall, would most likely result in nothing but a dead end.

Even if the two paths joined forces and used taboo methods to launch a campaign into the Chaos Sea to secure the last half percent of Heavenly Fate, they would still only have forty-five percent.

Once the battle begins, the best outcome would be the same as in Ancient Times: a war until the fabric of time and space shattered, causing great chaos and yin and yang, and the birth of a new Chaos Universe, burying this chapter of ancient history into the realm of the unknowable, severing ties with the past.

It is because of the example set in the Primordial Era that the Immortal Martial alliance, for millions of years, has never dared to make any large moves. Instead, they have been secretly tracking the whereabouts of the Dao Ancestor.

In preparation for facing the Dao Ancestor, they have spent millions of years, and no one is more aware of the perils of the Qi Cultivator's path than the Immortal Alliance Martial Hall.

In the past, every time the Dao Ancestor faced a tribulation, it was fraught with danger. Methods such as incarnating to avoid tribulation, which are lowly tactics, are now of no use to a Qi Cultivator of the Dao Ancestor's realm.

After all, the Dao Ancestor is but a lone figure, no matter how strong, just one person. The Immortal and Martial paths combined still hold a certain hope of being able to kill him. Moreover, the Heavenly Dao would help them as well.

One person monopolizing twenty-five percent of Heavenly Fate has already threatened the entire Great Universe.

If the Dao Ancestor's cultivation continues to grow, the heavens will change hands.

The starry sky overhead today, what it most wishes to sever, is the Dao Ancestor.

Above Heaven Pass, Chu Zheng silently observed Pei Hengxing, his mind teeming with thoughts. To slay a creature of the same rank with such ease was truly a terrifying display of power.

Among all the people he had seen, this was the strongest practitioner of the Martial Path.

Both at Eighth Order Perfection, when Kuang Tianxian and Yan Fusheng joined hands to battle the creatures from the Myriad Heavens and Realms, they seemed somewhat stretched and strained.

However, Pei Hengxing had used only two punches and one palm strike to kill three beings that could rival True Immortals.

Since Chu Zheng's initial steps on the path of cultivation had always been in the Immortal Path, his views on the Martial Path had lacked a concrete impression.

Now, the appearance of Pei Hengxing had undoubtedly filled this gap for him.

The combat strength of those who cultivate the Martial Path is likely much stronger than that of ordinary cultivators; otherwise, there wouldn't be such a stark difference.

From the recent conversation between Pei Hengxing and Kuang Tianxian, Chu Zheng could discern something else—the Martial Hall and the Immortal Alliance could never have an absolute balance between them.

If one day the heavens collapses and the myriad realms perish, a war between the Immortal Martial Arts is inevitable.

By then, the victor who holds seventy percent of the Heavenly Fate, even if the Ancestral Dao alone possesses twenty-five percent, would likely have no choice but to await their doom.

After pondering for a moment, Chu Zheng did not dwell on this further, but turned around to continue tidying up Heaven Pass, gathering any fragments that he could find.

He just needed to know that the current situation on the battlefield was gradually getting better for both the Immortal Alliance and the Martial Hall, and that was enough.

At least for him, it was good news; he wouldn't need to risk infiltrating the myriad realm camps.

It wasn't just that the Immortal Alliance was not a good place to stay; the myriad realms were also no better, with chaotic situations and too many unknowns. It was normal for things to happen beyond one's control.

At this thought, Chu Zheng's gaze fell upon the distant starry sky, where remnants of Immortal Blood mingled with various shattered artifacts floated under the stars.

These fragments of wondrous treasures from True Immortal-level beings were indeed priceless treasures to him.

...

...

After spending several days, Heaven Pass was largely restored to its former state. Most of the Star Fragments that had flown off were drawn back and re-melted into the structure of the Pass.

A small part of the fragments had vanished without a trace, caught up in the aftermath of the True Immortal's battle and swept to an unknown location, no longer in the nearby Star Domain.

The broken Formation Patterns within Heaven Pass would need some time to repair, as it wasn't a task that could be completed in a day.

After dealing with the matters above Heaven Pass, the Immortal Alliance then started organizing cultivators to clean up this Star Domain.

The remains of the fallen True Immortals from the Immortal Alliance had been collected earlier, leaving only traces of the myriad realms' creatures between the shattered domains.

Beings of True Immortal Rank mostly contain their own worlds within them. Although most had collapsed and were buried in the chaotic currents of the Void, there were still some remnants left behind, which could make up for some of Heaven Pass's losses.

The arrays that were originally set up in the starry sky also required some cultivators to reorganize the array's connections.

Chu Zheng naturally joined the team cleaning up the battlefield, searching for any valuable incomplete items with intense focus, not overlooking any corner.

Any fragment that came into his hands would in the future be a treasure not inferior to an Immortal Treasure. It was always good to accumulate some assets in advance.

Soon, several fragments had been gathered in Chu Zheng's hands.

However, contrary to his expectations, the Immortal Alliance seemed to value these fragments greatly, even going so far as to specially assign cultivators at the Immortal Tribulation Realm to watch over them, to prevent personal hoarding.

It wasn't just the fragments of wondrous treasures; those things that fell from the world fragments would also be personally inspected by the Immortal Alliance's cultivators, then meticulously registered, ensuring nothing was missed.
