Qi Cultivation Starting from the Repair Panel

Chu Zheng was now spreading his wings, and the rise of the Taixuan Holy Land seemed within reach; ultimately, the Tai Xu had to be passed down. As a Holy Land, bowing one's head on occasion was not unacceptable.

Based on Chu Zheng's past behavior, this man was known for his ruthless and decisive nature, not afraid of stirring up trouble. Should he gain power one day, the likelihood of him seizing the opportunity for revenge was quite unpredictable.

...

...

Inside the grand hall, a dead silence prevailed, save for the figure in a black robe sitting in the highest seat and staring at the Hidden Dragon List in front of him, his face revealing a thoughtful expression.

[Hidden Dragon List Number One: Taixuan Holy Land, Chu Zheng, bone age twenty-three, cultivation Divine Transformation Realm First Level.]

He chose to return to Cangyun instead of heading to the outer domain battlefield, not because he was afraid of death or wanted to avoid combat, but because he was concerned about Chu Zheng.

A trip to the outer domain battlefield often meant years away, with no telling when one could return. Given the speed of Chu Zheng's cultivation progress, who knew what realm he might reach upon his return?

If he wasn't there to stay in Tai Xu, any sudden changes when that time came could potentially mean the existence of the Tai Xu Holy Land would be in question.

From the current circumstances, his choice seemed to not have been wrong.

"No, that's not right,"

Bai Zhixiao's mind flickered with a blaze of insight as he stared intently at the Hidden Dragon List, his thoughts tangled until, after a long moment, he finally murmured softly,

"It's too similar... too alike..."

After entering the Divine Infant Realm, his cultivation soared, much like Zhao Tingxian's experience in the past. Could Cangyun Realm be on the verge of witnessing a second Zhao Tingxian? Such a coincidence seemed implausible.

"No, that's not right."

Bai Zhixiao suddenly shook his head, his expression becoming serious as a hint of doubt flashed across his eyes.

He recalled something.

Not long after Chu Zheng stepped into the Divine Infant Realm, he unexpectedly decided to visit Tai Xu to investigate Zhao Tingxian's cave.

Perhaps at that time, Chu Zheng may have found something crucial in Zhao Tingxian's cave and in the place of his closed-door cultivation.

Otherwise, even with Chu Zheng's monstrous talent and rapid cultivation, there was no reason why his speed of cultivation should be faster after stepping into the Divine Infant Realm than before.

It was like a paradox where a mortal becomes younger as they age, a contradiction to the natural order of the Heavenly Dao.

Zhao Tingxian could be explained as an occasional anomaly, but the appearance of Chu Zheng with similar changes couldn't be explained away as a mere exception.

A more likely possibility was that upon entering the Divine Infant Realm, Chu Zheng, like Zhao Tingxian, had discovered some unknown and hidden secrets.

Such secrets might possess replicability.

With that thought, he stood up abruptly and summoned several Tai Xu Elders waiting outside the hall.

"Restart the investigation on Zhao Tingxian. You all should carefully search his cave again to see if you can find any hidden spatial rifts,"

Halfway through, Bai Zhixiao added another sentence, "And see if there's something else underground."

"We've searched previously; we've gone through ten thousand zhang underground and found nothing."

"Has the Holy Master received some news? Or is it a directive from the Immortal Alliance?"

Hearing this, several Elders were somewhat puzzled; in their eyes, Zhao Tingxian's defection from the Immortal Alliance was no longer important, especially since True Immortals had already conducted a thorough search, so it seemed unlikely that there would be any oversights.

Chu Zheng's rise was the real pressing issue facing them.

"If ten thousand zhang underground is not enough, then this time dig down a hundred thousand zhang!"

Bai Zhixiao's expression was solemn, and the gleam in his eyes seemed to solidify, signaling that the similarities between Chu Zheng and Zhao Tingxian were far from coincidental.

If they could find and harness this commonality, the future of the Tai Xu Holy Land could be foreseen.

...

...

Within the grand temple bathed in divine light.

In front of the golden body of the Dao Lord, Chu Zheng slowly opened his eyes, a flicker of joy passing through them.

Incense Fire Willpower, in its enhancement and amplification of the Primordial Spirit, was truly immediate and effective. At this rate, as long as there were enough devotees, his path to the Deification Nine Transformations would not be too protracted.

Until now, the once distant Tongxuan Secret Realm had finally come into view. The thrill of his rapidly soaring Cultivation even made him somewhat indulgent in it.

This Cultivation breakthrough had increased his power by countless times. The Golden Body before him, now more adept at wielding the Thunder Method, was deepening its connection with the main body day by day. Enjoy exclusive adventures from empire

Gazing at the vast sky beyond the temple, Chu Zheng's gaze slightly narrowed. The problem now before him was how to increase the number of his devotees.

The quantity and quality of the devotees had reached a bottleneck, and he urgently needed to expand outward again.

Even so, Chu Zheng was not in a hurry to take action. For the next period, he did not plan to make any moves himself.

On the day of the breakthrough, he had sensed the presence of the Rainbow Heaven Spirit Lord. However, this Orthodox God from the Divine Court merely lingered outside the temple for a long time, ultimately choosing not to enter the temple but silently leaving instead.

Chu Zheng couldn't guess the thoughts of the Rainbow Heaven Spirit Lord—after all, he did not have the Mind Reading Technique. However, the Tribulation Qi that began to churn beside him reflected some issues.

It seemed that after witnessing his breakthrough, the Spirit Lord abandoned the original plan to communicate and was preparing to use other means to deal with the trouble he posed.

This was undoubtedly playing right into Chu Zheng's hands. As long as it was not oppression from the Divine Court, he would have a chance to fight back—war with the gods was always the simplest and most brutal way to increase the number of devotees.

The only somewhat restricting factor was the Rainbow Heaven Spirit Lord's status as an Orthodox God from the Divine Court.

As long as that status remained, Chu Zheng could not afford to offend him.

...

...

The outbreak of conflict Chu Zheng had anticipated did not keep him waiting too long.

Several days later, multiple Indecent Sacrifice Evil Gods attacked together, destroying over a dozen of his temples in one night and smashing the newly constructed Golden Bodies before many devotees.

The loss of devotees amounted to no less than several hundreds of thousands.

Among the deities who made their move, there were Spirit Lords. They had clearly conspired and coordinated their attacks with great tacit understanding.

In response, Chu Zheng remained silent for half a day, then launched an even more fierce and overbearing counterattack.

His revenge was precise and powerful. With the Heavenly Divination Technique in hand, none of the deities who had attacked could escape his frenzied retribution.

Chu Zheng did not give these rural deities the chance to fight back, sweeping through mountains and temples, cleaning them all out, extinguishing their Incense Fire and rooting them up completely.

In less than half a month, Chu Zheng's number of devotees surged by an additional two million.

During this time, the Rainbow Heaven Spirit Lord did not react at all. Chu Zheng was taking justified revenge, and the Divine Court had no reason to intervene.

Everything went smoothly, but the Tribulation Qi churning beside Chu Zheng was becoming even more intense. Clearly, the killer move that the Rainbow Heaven Spirit Lord was preparing in secret had yet to surface.

...

...

Inside the temple.

Yuan Dazun was all smiles, beginning his monthly report of recent events to Chu Zheng as usual—the increase in the number of devotees, the movements of nearby Deities, and some changes related to the Divine Court.

"A major event has recently occurred in the Divine Court. The Great Emperor personally stepped in, accepting a powerful Deity. Upon entering the Divine Court, this Deity has already taken the position of a Main God, increasing the original thirteen Main Gods to fourteen now," Yuan Dazun said.

Upon hearing this, Chu Zheng casually asked, "What is the name of this Deity?"

A Main God, a position second only to that Great Emperor, powerful enough to rival the Immortal Kings and Immortal Venerables in the Immortal Alliance.

Yuan Dazun thought for a moment, bowed his head and replied, "It seems to be called 'Yin Yang Xuan Ling Demonic Sanctioning Great Holy Celestial.' This God of slaughter and war, with formidable strength, ranks among the top amongst the Main Gods."

"Who?!"

Yuan Dazun carefully checked again, nodding in confirmation, "The formal title of that Deity is indeed 'Yin Yang Xuan Ling Demonic Sanctioning Great Holy Celestial.'"

Hearing Yuan Dazun repeat the name, Chu Zheng's gaze instantly narrowed.

He hadn't expected to cross paths with Zhao Tingxian so soon. The Chaos Sea was truly small.

Zhao Tingxian had actually come to the Divine Court.

However, if he calculated according to the flow of time in the Great Universe, it should have been over a hundred years in the Chaos Sea since he last met Zhao Tingxian.
