Qi Cultivation Starting from the Repair Panel

Chapter 157: Chapter 118: Infant Gathering Pill, Immortal Martial Battlefield_2

A few breaths later, his fingertips trembled slightly, his voice growing hoarser:

"It is indeed the Heavenly Throne Yanshen Scripture..."

Even though he had weathered many storms, he was hard pressed to control himself at this moment. If such Immortal Ascension Method were to spread, who knows how many cultivators it would kill.

"This is only the beginning; for the rest, you may ask Shen Chuanjiang yourself."

A murmur reached the ears of the Great Man, who suddenly looked up, only to realize that, at some point, Chu Zheng had stepped within ten zhang of him—an almost reachable distance for a cultivator.

The next instant, his vision was completely filled with blinding thunder light, his limbs numbed suddenly as if trapped in a mire, and then it felt as though he was struck by a heavy hammer, flung away.

In an instant, the Great Man was hurled thousands of zhang away, his bulky figure like a torn cloth in the sea of thunder, tumbling up and down, his muscles and bones broken, blood scattering across the sky.

Chu Zheng slowly lowered his hand, with only some jade powder remaining in the palm.

The repair panel had no response, which Chu Zheng had long known, for once talismans are activated, they turn to ash, their power dissipating completely, incapable of repair.

The Nine Thunder Jade Talismans were broken before activation; otherwise, they could not have been preserved.

Looking at the Great Man who had passed out in the distance, Chu Zheng couldn't help but sigh.

After all, he was a Cultivator with Great Achievement of Body Refinement, to have taken a Thunder Talisman at such close range and not be reduced to ashes—his life even preserved.

From beginning to end, Chu Zheng had no intention of negotiating with these two.

Although this place was rarely visited, delaying could possibly lead to reinforcements from a Holy Land Cultivator, adding unnecessary risk.

"Chu Zheng! I must kill you!"

Nie Yuan roared in anger, a brilliant Spiritual Light soaring from his brow as fierce as wildfire, his powerful Divine Sense sweeping in all directions, terrifyingly potent.

Chu Zheng's gaze sharpened, completely on guard; his Thunder Method was far inferior to the Nine Thunder Jade Talismans, and its power limited. Nie Yuan's strength was not as great as that of the Great Man, but he was still not to be underestimated.

Boundless Spiritual Light shot into the sky, completely enveloping Nie Yuan's form. The next instant, he was already a thousand zhang away, not pausing for a moment, heading straight west.

Nie Yuan's action of turning and leaving was unexpected, and Chu Zheng was momentarily stunned, unable to react.

By the time he thought to chase, Nie Yuan's figure had completely disappeared from his sight.

With a Soul Condensing Monk putting his life on the line to flee, having lost the initiative, the odds of catching up were negligible.

"You might have missed the only chance in this life to kill me."

Chu Zheng sighed softly, without the Nine Thunder Jade Talisms, his combat power against Nie Yuan was at best equal.

If the two were to confront each other directly, the outcome would be evenly split.

Now deploying his Thunder Method, he had to be extremely cautious, not daring to harness too much of the heaven and earth's power.

The shadow left by the last time he fully deployed his Thunder Method was still there, and he did not want to take that risk.

That trembling sensation, rising from the depths of his heart, had never occurred even when facing a Tongxuan Cultivator directly.

If Nie Yuan had chosen to fight him with his life on the line just then, the outcome might have been his defeat.

After pondering, Chu Zheng slowly stepped beside the Great Man.

The Great Man was still conscious, his skin charred, his mouth full of fresh blood. He glared at Chu Zheng, seeming to want to bite him to death:

"Chu... Zheng...you... you will die by..."

"Hmm, everyone dies eventually, it's just a matter of sooner or later."

Chu Zheng, expression indifferent, nodded slightly, interrupting him, and pulled out the Town Immortal Mace, smashing it down heavily.

Crack—

At the moment the Great Man's head shattered, a huge crack burst open on the Town Immortal Mace, jade fragments scattering all around.

Chu Zheng frowned slightly and repaired the Town Immortal Mace.

The moment it was fully repaired, the Town Immortal Mace began to slowly absorb the Heavenly Spirit Precious Blood mixed with fragments of the Divine Soul from the Great Man, nourishing itself.

To nurture a weapon that could survive a hundred battles, it needed to be fed with blood of slaughter.

The quality of the Town Immortal Mace was ultimately still too low; its talismanic patterns often collapsed, and it was still a semi-finished product. Find more chapters on m_v l|e-NovelFire

This was all because Chu Zheng's own cultivation level was still shallow, and his understanding of the cultivation path was lacking.

Chu Zheng crouched down, took a Storage Ring from the hand of the Great Man, and directly turned to leave.

...

...

Leaving the Great Desert, Chu Zheng casually found a small mountain range to enter, ignored the prompt that appeared on the panel, and immediately began to search through the books there.

Soon, he had found something.

[Glazed Glass Scripture (Seventh Order/Incomplete): Body Refinement Technique, it is half of the Sect-Defending Secret Scripture of the Jinli Holy Land, and can lead to Immortal Tribulation. With your current abilities, it cannot be repaired.]

Only half?

Chu Zheng's gaze intensified, and he flipped through a few more books, finally realizing something after a thorough examination.

Within Jinli Holy Land, many are Body Refining Cultivators, and its Sect-Defending Secret Scripture, the Glazed Record of Immortality, has two branches, 'Glazed Glass Scripture' and 'Longevity Record.'

One lineage primarily cultivates the body, researching the 'Glazed Golden Immortal Body,' while the other focuses on cultivating the Divine Soul to achieve the Longevity Divine Infant.

Only when the two are combined does it become a true Immortal Ascension Method.

The difference between the Immortal Ascension Method and ordinary cultivation techniques is not merely about the ability to become an immortal,

Chu Zheng could sense a significant difference from the cultivation technique he was currently practicing.

The Immortal Ascension Method's efficiency in converting Spiritual Energy far surpassed that of ordinary fifth and sixth order techniques, by several times at least.

Moreover, depending on the quality of the Immortal Bone, it is possible for cultivators from holy lands like this to cultivate incredibly fast, able to condense Soul and even form Divine Infants before the age of one hundred.

The Glazed Glass Scripture that Chu Zheng found in that robust man's Storage Ring was only half-complete, mostly containing Body Refinement techniques and not much emphasis on Dao Foundation.

Presumably, the other half, the Longevity Record, would be different.

Nie Yuan certainly possessed the other half.

Considering this, Chu Zheng couldn't help but introspect, needing to be even more cautious and meticulous in his future endeavors to prevent any oversights.

After searching for a while, Chu Zheng stuffed some Magic Treasures and cultivation resources into his Ethereal Ring, then flipped his hand and took out a Spirit Pill.

[Infant Gathering Pill (Fourth Order): A special elixir that can forcibly condense Soul into an infant in a short time, with severe side effects.]

Seeing this elixir, Chu Zheng was somewhat alarmed. Although Divine Infant Cultivators could not use it now, there were still other methods to circumvent this rule.

Just like that day Han Yuliang from the Phantom Spirit Sect achieved a breakthrough right before the battle, turning the tide of combat.

From the perspective of the holy lands, sacrificing an Elder of mediocre talent to protect a true inheritor capable of reaching Tongxuan was undoubtedly worth it.

If Chu Zheng hadn't used the Nine Thunder Jade Talisman for a sneak attack, this trip would have been exceedingly perilous.

Divine Infant Cultivators were something Chu Zheng could not contend with at the moment, much like how a Qi Cultivator in the Golden Core Realm undergoes a qualitative transformation,

a Divine Infant Cultivator, even at the Initial Stage, could now effortlessly crush him with a mere wave of their hand.

Every movement was filled with the power of the heavens and earth, completely beyond human endurance.

...

...

After inventorying his gains, Chu Zheng left the small mountain range.

Having confirmed his location, Chu Zheng consecutively took out the Xuan Tian Martial Barrier and the Heavenly Aura Broken Sword from within his Dantian, and performed the Heavenly Divination Technique.

After discerning for a moment, he headed straight in the southwestern direction.

After traveling tirelessly day and night for half a month, he entered a wild and desolate territory.

This place contained a fragment of the Xuan Tian Martial Barrier, and there were also many lingering auras of the Heavenly Aura Sword.

According to the local legends, this area was an Immortal Martial Battlefield from ancient times with an extremely long history.

Only upon arriving did Chu Zheng realize how harsh the environment was around him.

It was almost a Land of Absolute Spirit, with Spirit Veins already severed and fragmented spatial rifts everywhere, making it very dangerous.

After activating his Spiritual Eye, the invisible spatial rifts became clearly visible to Chu Zheng, posing no threat at all.

Besides him, several minor cultivators were also searching this place.

The situation here was very similar to that in the Giant Marsh Country; this kind of ancient battlefield always had people attempting to find opportunities.

Although knowing the chances were extremely slim, for these cultivators with inferior Immortal Bones and low cultivation levels, it was still a possibility.
