Qi Cultivation Starting from the Repair Panel

Southern Imperial Capital, within an inn.

Chu Zheng, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed, slowly opened his eyes and calmed the continuously surging Yuan Qi within his body.

His previous idea had been validated: Dual Cultivation significantly enhanced him.

The Yang Essence within Song Lingxue that had not yet been completely absorbed had been redivided over nearly ten hours.

A portion of it had transformed into Yuan Qi during the Dual Cultivation and returned to Chu Zheng's body, causing a significant increase in his cultivation.

Now, he was merely one step away from the late stage of Spirit Transformation.

Not a few among the Pre-Qin Qi Cultivators excelled in Dual Cultivation, and many had ascended in broad daylight.

The union of Yin and Yang is fundamentally the natural order of heaven and earth, containing the utmost truth of the Dao; the only pity was that Chu Zheng did not possess a method for Dual Cultivation and had merely cycled the Yuan Qi simply, yet the harvest was already quite substantial.

Song Lingxue gained even greater benefits. The Aura Qi within her body had grown significantly, and even her cultivation realm had improved.

[Song Lingxue (First Order): Cultivation in the second level of the Yuan Aura Realm, Leader of Martial Path in the Cangyun Realm.]

Cangyun Realm was evidently the name of the world before them.

From the information on the panel, it was not difficult to deduce that the Martial Path of this world had indeed been consigned to history, to the extent that no one could even recall it.

Song Lingxue was the first person in this era to step into the Yuan Aura Realm.

The term Cangyun was not unfamiliar to Chu Zheng; inside the Ethereal Ring, he had discovered a Cangyun Secret Realm Map, which clearly had some connection to this Cangyun Realm.

"When shall we depart for Giant Marsh?"

Song Lingxue propped herself up, her head lazily resting on Chu Zheng's shoulder, rubbing his cheek with hers and wrapping her arms around his waist.

Her mood was one of joy radiating from within. Yesterday, after telling her father that Ling Qing was unharmed, her father's illness had visibly improved.

After taking the Spirit Pill given by Chu Zheng, his white hair turned black in an instant, the medicine cured the illness, and he was spirited and well in a blink.

After meeting Chu Zheng, it seemed every trouble turned into a blessing.

"We shall leave in a few days..."

Chu Zheng had not finished speaking when the sky outside suddenly darkened. His whole body tightened, his Spiritual Perception flashed, and his expression instantly turned solemn.

"Get dressed!"

He murmured softly, quickly walked to the window, pushed it open, and looked up into the sky.

Upon discerning the scene in the sky, Chu Zheng's pupils dilated uncontrollably, flashing a hint of horror.

Across the heavens, a colossal creature that spanned the entire Imperial Capital coiled in the sky.

At a glance, it could be faintly made out to be a Silver Leopard.

The Imperial Capital of the Great Zhou stretched nearly a hundred li, but compared to this Silver Leopard, it was not nearly significant enough to note.

Chu Zheng's expression grew even more solemn as he activated his Spiritual Eye. His gaze pierced through the body of the Silver Leopard, and he quickly made a discovery.

Atop the Silver Leopard's head stood a figure, the fluctuations of Yuan Qi within were a hundred or even a thousand times greater than those of Han Yuliang back in the battlefield when he broke through to Divine Infant.

Without a doubt, this was an Immortal Path Cultivator whose cultivation had not only surpassed Divine Infant but had also stepped into the realm of Deification Nine Transformations; this Silver Leopard was the transformation of his Divine Infant.

In a few breaths, Song Lingxue was fully dressed. She too noticed the Silver Leopard in the sky and instantly froze, taking a long moment to recover.

For an ordinary person who had only ever seen Cultivators of the Spirit Spring Realm, the impact was too intense.

...

...

Above the nine heavens.

Ling Qi's gaze slowly swept over the Imperial Capital, then immediately focused on the southern part of the city.

A few slightly more robust fluctuations of vital energy entered his Divine Sense, faintly having crossed the threshold of martial masters.

Finally some gain...

Ling Qi's eyes flashed with satisfaction as he stepped forward, the next moment stepping into the Vermilion Bird Divine Guard Town Commander.

The entire Town Garrison Command's buildings and palaces instantly soared into the void, turning to ash in an instant, leaving behind only a group of Vermilion Bird Divine Guards and many civillian Grandmasters standing there, dumbfounded.

Ling Qi scanned the crowd, his gaze resting on Li Mingzhou:

"The first person to break through the realm of Martial Path, is it you?"

The breakthrough of the Martial Path being discovered so quickly and attracting such a powerful Superior Immortal to intervene was far beyond Li Mingzhou's expectations.

He had originally thought that, at least for a while, he would be able to maintain stability.

His mind was swirling, and after a moment of silence, he bowed:"Responding to the Superior Immortal, it is indeed I."

"Speak the truth."

Ling Qi shook his head: "Not you. You only broke through a few days ago and your foundation is unstable. Moreover... at your age, it's too late."

The Martial Path, different from the Immortal Path, follows the way of vital blood and physical strength. As one ages and life passes its peak, not only will cultivation not rise, but it may even decline; the latter half of life is the peak period for a martial artist.

Similarly, in the early stages of cultivation, the growth rate of Martial Path strength is much faster than that of Immortal Path. Most fighters have completed many paths in their lifetimes that many Immortal Path Cultivators would only complete over their entire lives.

At Li Mingzhou's age, his potential had already been exhausted; even if he once had outstanding talent in Martial Path, it was difficult to achieve greatness. Forcing a breakthrough to achieve Yuan Aura was practically impossible.

"Indeed, it is I," Li Mingzhou insisted stubbornly, refusing to back down.

"I do not seek this man's life. This place is the ancient land of Court Immortals, and I do not wish to kill. I'll give you one more chance, tell the truth."

Ling Qi's gaze swept around, then abruptly focused, stopping on a pitch-black, incomplete stone wall.

All things in the Town Garrison Command should have already turned to ashes, yet this seemingly ordinary stone had been preserved.
