Qi Cultivation Starting from the Repair Panel

Apart from these three wondrous treasures, most of the remains had turned into light smoke, leaving not even a trace behind.

For this, Chu Zheng naturally felt extremely pained, but with these gains, it was already enough; sometimes one needs to know when to stop, as being insatiable often leads to burning oneself.

After the dust settled, the Immortal Alliance soon issued another decree.

The Immortal Alliance gave two choices: one was to return to the original Great Realm, acting as if nothing had happened, the other was to follow the Immortal Alliance to the main battlefield.

This decree was not mandatory, and was entirely voluntary.

Though this battle had ended, the main battlefield was still in fierce combat, with masses of cultivators falling at every moment.

Heaven Pass would not stay here for long as such a war fortress could play a significant role on the main battlefield.

Many cultivators were participating in the struggle for Taoist orthodoxy for the first time, killing beings of the Myriad Heavens and Realms for the first time, and had received the rewards of heavenly fate, tasting the sweetness.

To surpass the limitations of Immortal Bone and amplify their own cultivation speed was something unheard of for those cultivators who had not yet reached the Immortal Tribulation Realm.

For some cultivators with only Middle Quality Immortal Bone, this was an opportunity to defy the heavens and change their fate.

Fearing death is a common human sentiment, but driven by strong enough desires, a person can easily overcome the fear of death.

Therefore, there was a cloud of respondents, with most cultivators willing to follow the Immortal Alliance to the main battlefield.

Geng Yiyang also chose the second path; he wanted to go to the main battlefield to fight for his future.

The Immortal Tribulation Realm was not the end of his path; all the Elders in Taixuan had made the same choice as Geng Yiyang, tired of guarding the mountain for ten thousand years and days without light ahead.

Moreover, Taixuan now had Chu Zheng.

Geng Yiyang found Chu Zheng and presented two Immortal Treasures right before his eyes.

[Heavenly Pattern Immortal Fire Hall (Eighth Order): Lower Quality Immortal Treasure, a legacy of the Taixuan Holy Land, created by an Immortal Artifact Master, it can greatly increase the cultivation speed of Fire Element cultivators. (Details)]

[Taixuan Battle Halberd (Eighth Order/Incomplete): High Quality Immortal Treasure, a personal warrior weapon of a Taixuan True Immortal, it has been through countless bloody battles, drunk the blood of Celestial Lords, and once suffered heavy damages, but its foundation remains powerful, and with the revival of its internal True Spirit, it can behead a Seven Tribulations True Immortal. (Details)]

Seeing this, Chu Zheng was slightly startled, and after pondering for a few moments, he accepted the Heavenly Pattern Immortal Fire Hall, and then pushed the Taixuan Battle Halberd back:

"You need this treasure more than I do."

The Heavenly Pattern Immortal Fire Hall is very important to Taixuan, and it was only right for him to bring it back to Taixuan.

For those disciples whose cultivation is still shallow, wondrous treasures that can amplify their cultivation speed are extremely precious.

This is the foundation of Taixuan.

And Geng Yiyang was about to go to the main battlefield of the Immortal Alliance and the Myriad Heavens and Realms, which was bound to be fraught with danger, and possessing the Taixuan Battle Halberd for protection would undoubtedly be an additional life-saving measure.

Geng Yiyang's expression was slightly startled, a light laugh escaped, and without any refusal, he took the Taixuan Battle Halberd.

"Holy Master, take great care."

With a single phrase, Chu Zheng fell silent for a while, then solemnly said, "I won't stay in Cangyun for long, and from this moment of parting today, there may not be a chance for another meeting, so I hope you return soon."

The higher the cultivation, the harder it is for Qi Cultivators to hide their identity, with the Nine Orifices Golden Core within their bodies, even if they sealed the Dantian, a True Immortal personally investigating in detail would not be deceived.

Once possessing the power to protect himself in the starry sky, he would not continue to stay in Cangyun, nor would he have any deep entanglement with the Immortal Alliance, the Myriad Heavens and Realms, or even the Chaos Sea could be his next destination.

Geng Yiyang took a deep look at Chu Zheng, with an implied meaning:

"Walking on two paths at once can sometimes lead you to be attacked from both sides, you might want to consider carefully which path to take."

There is much that is secretive about Chu Zheng, but Geng Yiyang had no intention of probing; he now had a clear understanding of Chu Zheng's temperament, that appealing to his emotions was much more effective than coercion.

Pressuring too much could lead to many undesirable outcomes.

Furthermore, he was genuinely reluctant to let go of such a bright gem, which should shine its brilliance under the starry sky rather than be buried in a single realm.

Therefore, he sincerely hoped that Chu Zheng would choose the path of the Immortal Path.

On the path of the Immortal Path, Chu Zheng could definitely write an unparalleled myth, whereas practicing the Heretic Path within the Immortal Alliance territory was like walking on a tightrope, constantly at risk of losing one's life.

An even deeper reason was that Geng Yiyang did not want Chu Zheng to lean toward the side of the Myriad Heavens and Realms.

Hearing these words, Chu Zheng's heart trembled slightly, well aware that Geng Yiyang had always known about his identity as a Heretic Cultivator, but had never directly spoken of it until it was brought up today.

After a long silence, Chu Zheng responded with a low laugh:

"Perhaps I could enjoy the best of both worlds."

Hearing this, Geng Yiyang's eyes showed a flicker of disappointment, but it quickly faded away. The path that others could not walk might be one that Chu Zheng could traverse. He was, after all, no ordinary prodigy and could not be judged by common standards.

Even if that path might be full of thorns.

He did not speak again but waved his hand and turned to leave.

...

...

Song Yusang was well aware of his own limitations and chose to stay by Chu Zheng's side, preparing to return to Cangyun Realm with him.

Among those who had decided to go to the battlefield, Chu Zheng saw Shang Zuling.

Shang Zuling had made a choice completely opposite to Chu Zheng's; she chose to follow the Immortal Alliance to the main battlefield.

"Battling with Daoist Chu, I gained a lot. Without refining through struggle and secluded from the world, it's hard to grasp the great way," Shang Zuling's eyes seemed to hold a fiery light, brilliant as the Zhou Tian Stars, "Daoist Chu must have felt the changes within himself too. Earning enough military merits in the battle for the Taoist orthodoxy will naturally speed up your cultivation."

Since the battle in the outer domain channel of Cangyun Realm, she could feel that the power which had always existed within her had dissipated.

Her ancestors had given up their special treatment of her, as if they had abandoned her.

Shang Zuling, however, did not mind this, and even the shadow that had always hung over her heart dissipated somewhat.

At least from now on, she could walk her own path without relying on the grace of her ancestors.

Since the battle in the outer domain, that ancestor had also lost their halo in her eyes.

In fact, she had seen through some secrets unknown to others long ago. That incarnation's arrival on the battlefield was not actually to save her; it seemed more like a reminder to Zhao Tingxian.

Zhao Tingxian being able to escape from the Immortal Alliance successfully had a great connection with Shang Cangyun's startling the snake by hitting the grass.

Even her participation in that war in the outer domain was within that ancestor's expectations.

"If Daoist Chu were to go to the battlefield, you might enter the sight of some higher-up in the Immortal Alliance sooner, saving a lot of hard work."

Shang Zuling seemed to have a bit of regret over Chu Zheng's choice.

"Being too eye-catching isn't always a good thing."

Chu Zheng shook his head, knowing that after learning about the Great Universe, his thoughts had changed rapidly, and he had become much more low-key.

The prerequisite to establishing an eternal name is to step into the Eternal Immortal Realm.

Before that, he needed to hide his sharpness.

This great battle was entirely different from what Chu Zheng had imagined; the main battlefield was too dangerous, and he had to put Bai Nian's matter aside for now.

Finding a way to save Bai Nian depended on his ability to stay alive.

Shang Zuling did not engage in a deep conversation with Chu Zheng, her heart full of anticipation for the main battlefield.

...

...

Soon, the two groups of people who had made different choices had completely parted ways.

Most cultivators who decided to go to the battlefield were eager and excited to test their mettle.

On the frontlines, another, even more terrifying war had not yet been won.

In the midst of death, striving for a slim chance of survival is the ordinary state of cultivators.

Chu Zheng followed another group, boarded the Flying Boat, and began the journey back.

However, just as they passed through a light gate, two figures appeared in front of the Flying Boat, blocking the way.

A man and a woman, both with strikingly beautiful features, seemingly not of this world, each enveloped in the clearly visible, gentle Immortal Light.

"Do you come from Cangyun?"

The man stepped forward slowly, glanced at the many cultivators from Cangyun Realm, and said slowly:

"Who is Chu Zheng?"
