Qi Cultivation Starting from the Repair Panel

Chapter 188: Chapter 140: True Immortal's Last Words (Vote for Monthly Pass~)

In the situation of severely lacking information, Chu Zheng could only do his best to ensure safety.

Just the Divine Secret Skill from the Xuan Tian Martial Barrier alone was enough for Song Lingxue to study, not to mention the cultivation resources such as elixirs, which were more than plentiful, making it unnecessary to take unnecessary risks.

A moment later, he returned to the Taixuan Holy Land with the Inheritance Jade Wall.

Upon returning to the bedchamber, the surroundings were very quiet. The two sisters were practicing their own exercises, and the jade couch had been returned to its original place.

Chu Zheng, unconcerned with anything else, climbed onto the jade couch and fell asleep, urgently needing to relax from the mental exhaustion.

A night passed in the blink of an eye.

......

......

The next morning, Chu Zheng slowly opened his eyes. Soft breaths and heartbeats reached him, carrying a familiar faint fragrance.

Song Lingxue lay on her side beside him, clad only in undergarments, her fair and delicate skin fully exposed, eyes gently closed.

Chu Zheng propped himself up, about to leave the couch, when a pair of snowy white arms reached out from behind him, clasping his waist, and a warm body pressed against his back.

"Stop messing around, there are important matters today."

Chu Zheng patted the hands clasped firm around his waist, yet no response came from behind him.

After a moment of silence, Chu Zheng spoke again, this time with a hint of amusement in his voice:

"What are you afraid of? Not trusting me, or scared of your own sister?"

He hadn't been careless enough to overlook the abnormality of the person beside him; moreover, a Qi Cultivator's sensitivity to changes in Qi was unparalleled.

Since seeing Song Lingqing, Song Lingxue had been extremely tense, and guessing what she was worried about was not difficult.

A flash of panic crossed Song Lingxue's eyes, and feeling guilty, she released the firm grip of her hands. Without a word, she donned her vestment robe and raised her hand to tidy Chu Zheng's slightly disheveled hair.

Chu Zheng grasped her hand, stopping her movements, turned around, and pressed her back onto the jade couch.

"Let it be, it doesn't matter if it's one day late, today I will help you with your cultivation first."

The front hall.

Song Lingqing sat cross-legged on the ground, listening to the noises from the inner room, her expression blank, her fingertips digging deep into her palm. The feeling of seemingly being the only outsider was not too pleasant.

......

......

The next morning.

Having received a message from Chu Zheng and hearing about the numerous high-grade spiritual medicines and even Immortal Elixirs available for mining, Gong Rulong dared not delay and immediately brought three elders from the Alchemy Hall with him.

As soon as he entered the hall, Gong Rulong couldn't wait to say:

"Where are the Immortal Elixirs?!"

Chu Zheng had already opened the entrance to the Secret Realm in advance, pointed towards the spatial passage, and explained:

"The entrance won't hold for long. After two days, I will reopen the entrance and take the elders out."

"No matter."

Gong Rulong, with only a brief comment, hurriedly led the three elders into the spatial passage. For an alchemist, nothing was more enticing than Immortal Elixirs.

In an instant, days and nights passed, and two days were gone.

The date of the trial agreed with the Song Family had arrived.

Before the sun rose on the first day, Chu Zheng arrived at the entrance of Taixuan Mountain Sect.

The people of the Song Family had already come even earlier, standing in a dense crowd that merged with the lingering darkness of the night, silent and still, their eyes reflecting the stars, full of excitement.

Upon seeing Chu Zheng, the Song Family's ancestor, Song Xiao, stepped forward and bowed deeply:

"Thank you, Saint Heir, for your grand favor."

As the voice fell, those behind him knelt down in unison, bowing their heads and shouting:

"Our gratitude to the Saint Heir for showing great favor to our Song Clan!"

The voice carried far beneath the starry sky.

At the edge of the horizon, the morning light tore through the night sky, illuminating the heavens as the sun began to rise.

"For this trial, there are a total of one hundred ninety-two participants, ninety-eight in the Nourishing Power Realm, sixty-six in the Spirit Spring Realm, twenty-six in the Entry Dao Realm, and two in the Soul Condensing Realm."

Song Xiao presented a roster with his two hands, which detailed the information of these one hundred ninety-two individuals.

Lower Quality Immortal Bones accounted for the majority, with only one High Quality Immortal Bone, who was none other than Song Pingjun, the one who had previously caused the Shang Family to consider a marriage proposal.

This was undoubtedly the cream of the crop of the Song Family.

Chu Zheng took the roster and glanced over it, then spoke slowly to the cultivators of the Song Family before him,

"Once inside the Secret Realm, do not disturb the medicinal fields; as for the rest, do as you will. Half a month later, I will open the Secret Realm again. Apart from those trapped due to the assessment trial, no one may stay inside the Secret Realm."

During the conversation, Chu Zheng drew out a strand of essence blood and directly opened the Secret Realm.

No sooner had the entrance to the Secret Realm opened than Gong Rulong, accompanied by three elders, emerged, their expressions not filled with the joy Chu Zheng had anticipated but instead laden with solemnity.

"Come to the Alchemy Hall later, and I'll tell you more."

Gong Rulong said telepathically, then headed straight into the depths of Taixuan.

Chu Zheng's brows slightly furrowed, but he didn't ask any further questions, instead raising his hand to signal Song Xiao, allowing all the Song Family disciples to enter the Secret Realm.

After all the disciples had entered the Secret Realm, Chu Zheng promptly closed the entrance and headed straight for the Alchemy Hall.

Soon, he saw Gong Rulong again. At that moment, Gong Rulong was processing a batch of spiritual medicine, many of which were still moist with spiritual soil, indicating they had been freshly picked.

"Elder Gong, what happened in the Secret Realm?"

After watching for a while, Chu Zheng finally couldn't contain his impatience and asked.

Having finished dealing with the spiritual medicine in his hands, Gong Rulong spoke in a deep voice, Stay connected via mvl

"After collecting some spiritual herbs, we were obstructed by the remnant thoughts of a True Immortal. If we acted, we couldn't ensure the safety of the medicinal fields, so we had to stop."

"The remnant thoughts of a True Immortal..."

Chu Zheng frowned slightly; he had thought those Divine Senses would only be active in the central region, not realizing the medicinal field area was also within their range of activity.

"The remnant thoughts still possess considerable spiritual intelligence. Realizing the Secret Realm had been obtained by outsiders, and that the Song Clan was facing difficulties, it offered two Semi-Immortal Medicines and asked us to take care of the Song Clan."

Gong Rulong's gaze revealed a hint of complexity,

"All that is not the key issue. Before its body died, it sent back a broken message: 'Immortal Alliance, do not enter.'"

"Immortal Alliance, do not enter..."

Chu Zheng's gaze sharpened. This was the last message sent by a True Immortal before death, surely concealing great secrets. This appeared to be connected to the fact that many True Immortals had disappeared after leaving the realm without further word.

The circumstances of these True Immortals were likely precarious.

This message was not complete and could not be taken at face value.

Chu Zheng knew all too well the perils of incomplete information. Sometimes, a single word could drastically alter its meaning.

This statement could be a warning to the Song clansmen or a reminder to the Immortal Alliance not to enter certain domains. With the current information, it was still too early to confirm.

"The Immortal Alliance indeed has many peculiar aspects. Since Cangyun had united it, not a single True Immortal who entered has returned. You should be extremely cautious in the future."

There was a touch of worry in Elder Gong's expression. He was not concerned about himself, as he had only a few more years to live, but Chu Zheng had a long future ahead. He was to Condense his Soul, cultivate to the Divine Infant, undergo the Nine Divine Transformations Cultivation, Enter Tong Xuan, and possibly ascend to becoming an Immortal.

Given this, interactions with the Immortal Alliance were inevitable, warranting utmost caution.

"Thank you for the reminder, Elder Gong. I will keep it in mind."

Chu Zheng, coming out of his contemplation, nodded in thanks. He had never intended to join the Immortal Alliance, and besides, it was still far removed from his current reach.

Even if he wanted to make contact, it wasn't something that could be achieved in the short term.

"With the Immortal Elixir obtained from the Song Family Secret Realm, I'll see if I can refine a Semi-Immortal Pill for you, to be used when you Enter Tong Xuan."

Seeing Chu Zheng's brows locked in concern, Gong Rulong changed the subject, his voice tinged with self-mockery, "Although I won't be around to see that day."

As the two were conversing, a thunderous voice suddenly came from outside,

"Eastern Territory Song Clan seeks an audience with the Taixuan Holy Son."
