Qi Cultivation Starting from the Repair Panel

Having found something, a hint of joy inevitably appeared on Chu Zheng\'s face.

Under the guidance of Heavenly Divination Technique, he sensed that there were at least a hundred Heavenly Aura Swords scattered across this battlefield.

This suggested that the Heavenly Aura Sword Array had been broken here, with most of the swords scattered and lost.

After collecting the Broken Sword, Chu Zheng continued to advance. Besides Heavenly Aura Broken Swords, there were also fragments of the Xuan Tian Martial Barrier scattered around the battlefield.

Given the scale of the battlefield, Chu Zheng even had reason to suspect that the Xuan Tian Martial Barrier was shattered here, and by sheer coincidence, pieces of it ended up in Great Zhou.

...

...

Several days later, Chu Zheng came to a sunken basin.

The basin alone stretched for nearly a thousand li, winding and deep, sinking a thousand zhang into the earth. From a high vantage point, it resembled the imprint of a palm.

After searching for a while, Chu Zheng found a piece of black wreckage not far from a hillock at the center of the basin. Digging three zhang deep, he uncovered it.

[Xuan Tian Martial Barrier (Sixth Order/Incomplete): Left behind by a Martial God who had gathered the insights of a lifetime; shattered into six pieces. You now possess four pieces. Repair progress (0/1000)]

Similar to the previous ones, this fragment recorded two Martial Dao Divine Abilities: Xuan Tian Seal Fifth Form and Xuan Tian Seal Seventh Form.

Xuan Tian Seal Fifth Form is an offensive Divine Ability that takes the route of overwhelming strength; it gathers the strength of one\'s entire body to a single point to unleash a world-shocking force.

As for Xuan Tian Seal Seventh Form, it\'s a technique that temporarily exhausts the potential of the physical body in order to significantly enhance one\'s recovery abilities.

In evenly matched combat, this Divine Ability could undoubtedly achieve a remarkably noticeable effect.

These two Divine Abilities required an extremely high level of vital energy and could only be practiced after stepping into the Martial Path\'s Embracing Pill Realm.

For Chu Zheng at his current stage, these two Divine Abilities weren\'t as useful as the previous Xuan Tian Seal Third Form or the Slaughter Blood Descending Dragon Technique.

His vital energy strength was still far from sufficient.

Having stored the Xuan Tian Martial Barrier, Chu Zheng continued to search the surroundings, hoping to find some clues.

Soon, he made a discovery. Not far from the hillock, he excavated a section of a leg bone. After wiping off the dust, the bone\'s surface shone like gold and jade with faint bloodlines pulsating across it.

[Nameless Corpse Bone (Sixth Order): A Martial Cultivator, reached the pinnacle of Divine Communication in his lifetime, was struck by two palms from a True Immortal, leading to the cessation of his life force and his death. The True Spirit has been extinguished and cannot be repaired.]

The remnant bone of a Martial God.

A thought flickered in Chu Zheng\'s mind—perhaps this person was the owner of the Xuan Tian Martial Barrier fragments.

Just as he previously speculated, the piece that ended up in Great Zhou was also scattered during this great battle.

Being hit by a True Immortal\'s palm and not dying with a Sixth Order cultivation was already a miracle, regardless of what methods were used.

Chu Zheng meticulously searched the surroundings of the hillock for several days and finally pieced together a skeleton from a pile of ashes.

Chu Zheng erected a burial mound next to the hillock and laid the remains to rest, then he took a piece of green stone to set up a memorial stone.

Standing in front of the blank monument for a moment, Chu Zheng raised his hand and inscribed the words \'Xuan Tian\', then turned and left.

The Xuan Tian Martial Barrier was very likely this person\'s property. Burying his corpse and setting up a tombstone was also bringing closure to karma.

With him involved, the complete restoration of the Xuan Tian Martial Barrier was inevitable. To some extent, he was continuing the legacy of this person.

...

...

While Chu Zheng was searching for swords on the battlefield, the outside world was already in turmoil.

The news that Chu Zheng had obtained the Cultivation Techniques of the Tai Xu Holy Land and the Heavenly Throne Holy Land had spread far and wide, coming out through Nie Yuan\'s mouth.

In an instant, the entire world was shaken.

The leakage of the Immortal Ascension Method was absolutely an intolerable catastrophe for any of the Holy Lands.

It wasn\'t just about their own Cultivation Techniques; what was even more critical was that if the methods fell into the hands of other Holy Lands, the slight flaws and vulnerabilities of the techniques would be completely exposed.

This meant that in future encounters with cultivators of the same realm from other Holy Lands, they would already be at a disadvantage before the battle even began.

Each Holy Land reserved their Sect-Defending Secret Scriptures and at most shared half of an Immortal Scripture, which speaks volumes about the importance of the Immortal Ascension Methods.

To preserve the legacy of their Sects, the Holy Masters of the two Holy Lands met with Ji Yuyan, wishing for the Immortal Alliance to extend a gracious hand, to allow them to dispatch their Divine Infant Cultivators, and retrieve their Cultivation Techniques.

Their request was simple: erase Chu Zheng\'s memory related to the Immortal Ascension Method, and all else could be absolved and forgotten.

As expected, it was a fruitless return; Ji Yuyan did not even catch sight of the two Holy Masters. He simply delivered a decree, which contained only four large characters.

[Those Who Overstep Will Die]

Clearly, the attitude of the Immortal Alliance had not changed in the slightest. Cultivators above the Divine Infant, if they acted rashly, would inevitably face the thunderous wrath of the Immortal Alliance.

This risk, no Holy Land dared to take. As long as Ji Yuyan was free, this deterrent force would always exist.

Having no other choice, several Holy Lands could only send out even more people repeatedly to search for Chu Zheng\'s whereabouts.

Later, they further increased the bounty for information regarding Chu Zheng, hoping to glean some news of him.

As long as they could ascertain his exact location, the several Holy Lands could fully spread a net of heaven and earth to surround and kill him.

...

...

In the blink of an eye, more than a month had passed.

During this period, Chu Zheng had been wandering throughout the Immortal Martial Battlefield, searching for the Heavenly Aura Sword Array.

With the Heavenly Divination Technique at his disposal, his efficiency was extremely high, able to find two or three swords in a day. In a little over a month, he had already explored the entire Immortal Martial Battlefield.

All over the battlefield, his footprints were scattered, and the noise of moving mountains and digging valleys naturally attracted the attention of others.

As time passed, rumors of a Great Cultivator appearing in the battlefield spread among the circles of lesser cultivators.

This place had not seen a cultivator of such level in a very long time, naturally causing quite a stir.

Chu Zheng paid no mind to this and, once he was certain there were no oversights, he began to tally his spoils.

Across this entire ancient battlefield, Chu Zheng had obtained a total of one hundred and twenty-seven Heavenly Aura Swords, accounting for one-third of the entire Heavenly Aura Sword Array.

Most of them were already broken, with quite a few snapped into several pieces.

Some were just remnants of sword tips, others only half of a hilt remaining, and some even just a finger-length piece of the sword\'s body, a mere sliver of wood.

Barely managing, Chu Zheng spent half a day selecting and chose thirty-six broken swords which he then began to initially repair before proceeding to refine each one.

The Heavenly Aura Sword\'s quality was so high that the Heavenly Aura Sword Array composed of them was naturally astonishing in might.

Chu Zheng did not possess the specific diagram of the Heavenly Aura Sword Array, but the Great Circulatory Qi Guideline contained a similar formation diagram.

Assisted by Object Control Divine Power, it was enough for Chu Zheng to execute it.

...

...

After refining the thirty-six Heavenly Aura Broken Swords, the commotion from the outside world had also reached Chu Zheng\'s ears.

Upon hearing this, his heart felt an indescribable excitement.

In the world below, whenever the name Chu Zheng was mentioned, there were few who did not know it. The majority of cultivators were rushing about because of these two words.

Now, he wanted to test the might of the sword array.

Chu Zheng immediately left seclusion and found a group of lesser cultivators exploring the battlefield.

This group consisted of three people, with the highest cultivation at the Initial Stage of Spirit Spring, and their ages varied greatly.

The eldest was nearly sixty years old, while the youngest was only in his teens, just beginning Nourishing Power, appearing to be of three generations, possibly grandfather and grandchildren.

Seeing Chu Zheng suddenly appear and sensing his cultivation fluctuation, they were all shocked. Recalling the recent rumors around the battlefield, they dared not neglect him and promptly paid their respects:

"We have seen the senior before."

"Since we have met, it is fate. Today, I shall bestow upon you a chance at fortune," said Chu Zheng, glancing at them with the corners of his mouth slightly raised:

"I am Chu Zheng. You three can take the news of my presence here to any sect and redeem the bounty."

Hearing the name Chu Zheng, the expression of the eldest cultivator changed dramatically, his face momentarily turning pale.

However, the youngest boy\'s eyes flickered, and he bluntly asked:

"How many Spirit Stones is information about the senior worth?"

Chu Zheng\'s gaze flashed, and he smiled faintly: "Enough to last you a lifetime."

With the sword array in hand, he intended to lure a horde of dragons to this place, to hunt them in the wilderness and hone the edge in blood.

As for the bounty, it was not to be wasted either.
