Qi Cultivation Starting from the Repair Panel-Chapter 596 - 426: Immortal Path, Heart Burning Corridor_2

Chapter 596 -426: Immortal Path, Heart Burning Corridor_2

The Immortal Ancestor’s brow slightly furrowed, yet he did not express anger, only gave a light sigh:

“Regarding the matter of Ancestral Realm quotas, we shall discuss it later; do not act in haste.”

Handing over the Heavenly Fate to Chu Zheng might sound impulsive, but Moonlight would certainly do so, making it unwise to argue further.

Once the Heavenly Fate enters Chu Zheng’s body, with the precedent of the Ancestral Dao, it’s uncertain if it can be reclaimed even by killing him, hence there is no need to take such a risk.

The Immortal Ancestor relented with his words, but Moonlight Immortal Ancestor was not inclined to let the matter slide. Rising tall, her words rang out with thunderous clarity:

“Even now the Immortal Path binds itself with the tether of root bone and bloodline, confining all spiritual energy of the Immortal Path, and nets over peerless talents from the Four Seas with clan golden books, are you really unaware?!”

“In the beginning of Chaos, there was no distinction of noble or humble; only the separation of pure and impure Qi!”

“All things are born without regard for blood lineage, the Great Dao is impartial; how can it be stratified by lineage? But now the shackles of the Immortal Path, clans as prisons, bloodlines as chains, dragons trapped in a cold pond, phoenix wings locked in the mire, the path to Azure Immortal severed at infancy, the pathway to heaven sealed in the womb! Is this in alignment with heavenly principles?!”

“Shang Cangyun and Zhao Tingxian, originally prodigious talents, if not for bloodline chains, would they willingly take risks and choose the path of the unconventional sword?”

“You, the Ancestor of the Immortal Path, are even more aware than I am. The concept of bloodline clans is the greatest shackle to the development of the Immortal Path. Using bloodline as chains buries countless capable individuals.”

“To save the Immortal Path now, we must break these bloodline chains, traverse the heavenly chasm, burn ancestral records to forge a new immortal path, so that the world’s heroes can demonstrate their abilities, and the Immortal Path will then have a roadway.”

At this point, Moonlight Immortal Ancestor let out a sarcastic laugh, shook her head slightly, and a trace of sadness lingered in her eyes:

“If I could walk through this path, why would I exhaust my mind to try another?”

The roots of the Thirteen Clans are deeply entrenched within the Immortal Path, the thirteen innate blood patterns within the Heavenly Fortune Immortal Tablet have extinguished hope for all spirits within the Great Universe’s Immortal Path.

To ascend to immortality, one must merge with immortal blood, ultimately returning to the confines of the Thirteen Clans, perpetually revolving within a circle, unable to break and establish anew, to resurrect from ruin.

Years ago, she entered the Immortal Venerable Domain by merging with the immortal blood of predecessors; even through her own exploration, she became an Immortal Ancestor from a so-called mixed-blood descendant, yet she never escaped this prison.

Feng Ting remained silent for a long while, then turned and left.

He did not lack knowledge of what Moonlight said, but the original purpose of the Immortal Path was simply the product of ancient clans intermarrying in times of heavenly turmoil for self-preservation.

To uproot the Thirteen Clans is exceedingly difficult, destroying the Heavenly Fortune Immortal Tablet and erasing innate blood patterns, as the root source of ancestry for the Feng Family, he would be the first to die.

“I see that now many clans are secretly searching for Chu Zheng, with his talent, his bloodline should be more useful than if an Immortal Ancestor personally stepped forward.”

Moonlight Immortal Ancestor spoke loudly with even greater sarcasm in her eyes:

“I observe that within your Feng Family, there are also many unmarried girls; why not join those clans in seeking out Chu Zheng, and offer themselves as consorts? Perhaps they might luckily give birth to a prodigious son, bringing glory to your Feng lineage.”

Feng Ting paused slightly, turned back to glance at Moonlight, his gaze filled with dark turbulence:

“Chu Zheng now, is already half a member of the Xu Family.”

With these words, he turned and did not look back, disappearing without a trace.

Moonlight Immortal Ancestor let out a long breath, her expression weary, as she sat down slowly, murmuring to herself:

“Xu Family…”

How could she not know this?

Chu Zheng now counts as part of the Thirteen Clans, if he were to act and threaten the Immortal Path, the first thing would be self-severance; otherwise, the chains of the innate blood pattern would always bind him.

This is one of the key reasons Feng Ting chose to let him go for now.

The marks of the Immortal Path on Chu Zheng can no longer be erased; if he truly severs the path, he might die at any moment, posing no greater threat to the Immortal Path.

For a while, she gathered her thoughts without thinking further.

She now only needs to remember, the future of the Immortal Path, will surpass its origins, and this is sufficient.

At least it suggests that what she is doing now is correct, and she only needs to continue onward.

As for Chu Zheng’s future, time will tell.

…

…

The Great Immortal Realm was in long-absent turmoil, rumors arose and spread wildly.

Chu Zheng was oblivious to all of this; he had already arrived at the Heart Burning Corridor in the Lower Realm.

Near the corridor, many cultivators had already gathered, including a familiar face to Chu Zheng.

Fu Zhixuan, with whom he had interacted during the Ten Thousand Realms Battlefield.

The Fu Family is also one of the Thirteen Clans, ranking among the top, having produced an Ancestral Realm cultivator in the past, and still upheld by a Great Immortal Emperor. Pure-blooded Immortal Descendant, a prominent clan, it’s no surprise she entered the Great Immortal Emperor’s tutelage.

Chu Zheng did not step forward to greet her; after all, they were merely acquaintances without deep ties.

He found a favorable spot nearby, made some simple arrangements, and began his quiet retreat.

In the Cave Heaven World, the transplanted Longevity Immortal Fruit was growing well, already absorbing the spiritual energy of nature, seemingly rejuvenating the entire Cave Heaven World.

Moonlight Immortal Ancestor’s actions were measured, and the energy within the piece of branch she provided was sufficient to support the smooth growth of the immortal fruit.

Unfortunately, the quality of the Longevity Peach Tree is exceedingly high, almost comparable to the Otherkind of ancient myths. Even as a solitary fruit, it contains the space-time laws, having reached the Tenth Order, which Chu Zheng currently cannot repair due to his rank.

Once the fruit is secure, he could keep the remaining branch for future repair attempts once his rank advances to the Tenth Order.

Traveling across the whole Great Universe, it’s unlikely many immortal elixirs can compare to the Longevity Peach Tree.

After cultivating for several days, Chu Zheng again heard whispers in his ears:

“Zheng Chu… where is it?”

Compared to before, this time the voice was much stronger and clearer.

Chu Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly, responding for the first time, asking to confirm the identity:

“Who are you? Sun-Eroding Cry?”

“Since you know… my name, why… don’t you procure Zheng Chu for rescue?”

Could it really be Sun-Eroding Cry?

Chu Zheng’s expression shifted subtly, immediately responding in a low voice:

“Zheng Chu is dead, afraid he can’t save you. If you can say something useful, I might help you.”

Upon hearing this, Sun-Eroding Cry sneered:

“How could Zheng Chu be dead… absolutely impossible…”

After the words ended, the surroundings fell silent again, though Chu Zheng attempted several inquiries yielding no further response.

Seeing this, he wasn’t anxious, and continued his cultivation in peace. freēwēbηovel.c૦m

In a mere blink, over two years had passed swiftly.

The opening of Heart Burning Corridor was near, Chu Zheng emerged from his retreat, his cultivation had made significant progress once again.

The Immortal Venerable Realm had reached perfection, with Qi Refining advancing further, breaking through Initial Stage Xuanxian Perfection and entering Mid-stage Xuanxian, comparable to the Great Immortal Venerable, his combat strength had explosively increased, with two Dao Marks in his body, stepping closer to the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top’s Realm of Perfect Xuanxian.

Chu Zheng adjusted his appearance slightly, Fu Zhixuan at first glance did not recognize him; she glanced with some doubt, but did not approach to converse.

“It’s Chu Zheng!”

Those who had seen Chu Zheng’s current appearance were already numerous, and upon seeing him arrive, they were inevitably surprised.

Chu Zheng?!

As Chu Zheng approached in her direction, Fu Zhixuan was somewhat incredulous and bowed in salute:

“Fu Zhixuan, greets Chu Xianzun.”

She was hesitant to believe.

At their first meeting during the Ten Thousand Realms Battlefield, Chu Zheng had just entered True Immortal, not yet her equal, even requiring her help to intervene.

It’s been over a hundred years now, and her cultivation had only advanced by one step, becoming a Three Calamities True Immortal, but Chu Zheng had become the Dao Inquiry Grand Competition Champion, his cultivation had reached Great Immortal Venerable, it’s almost an insurmountable difference.

“Mr. Fu, long time no see.”

Chu Zheng nodded, glancing at the nearby Heart Burning Corridor.

The Heart Burning Corridor stretches three hundred and thirty zhang; previously, Fang Lingchuan mentioned some details, the corridor is divided into three segments.

The first segment, named ‘Burning Memory’, aids in overcoming heart demons.

The second segment, called ‘Burning Desire’, caters to people’s preferences, constructing illusions based on seven emotions and six desires, their thoughts and perceptions, to temper the mind.

It is only in the third segment, the ‘Heart Burning’, where all the fears and worries become tangible, and one undergoes the true suffering of heart burning.

Today, it is uncertain how far he can go.
