Qi Cultivation Starting from the Repair Panel

```

Flawed Spiritual Root?

Chu Zheng's heart stirred, and without hesitation, he immediately chose to repair.

Crack—

Behind his head, a searing heat suddenly flared up, the newly grown bone buds rapidly expanded, creating an opening and revealing what had been a tightly sealed part of his occiput.

A surge of extremely overwhelming Spiritual Energy rushed in instantly, taking the place of the medicative power of the Five Elements Shaping Pill and began to nourish the five Dao Foundations.

In a moment, Chu Zheng involuntarily straightened his body, stretched his limbs, and exhaled deeply, as if shedding a layer of shackles, feeling immensely liberated.

He quickly noticed the odd changes happening within his body.

Initially, when he practiced Immortal Law, he had to forcibly pull Spiritual Energy into his body to cultivate.

After refining the Fire Seed, Chu Zheng's cultivation speed on the Immortal Path greatly accelerated; the Fire Seed replaced the Immortal Bone and became his medium to connect with the heavens and the earth.

Now, when this opening appeared at the back of his head, his cultivation speed on the Immortal Path once again underwent a startling change, increasing more than tenfold.

The efficiency of converting Spiritual Energy had improved manifold, and the speed of mana recovery had increased dramatically.

When two cultivators clash, if their cultivation levels are close, unless the battle is decided in a flash, the gap caused by the Immortal Bone will widen indefinitely over time.

The speed at which Lower Quality Immortal Bone recovers mana is more than tens of times slower than that of a High Quality Immortal Bone, and a Superior Quality one is hundreds of times faster.

For Chu Zheng, what's more important is that now, without the need for the medium of the Divine Fire's Fire Seed, he could still practice cultivation.

The panel conveyed another change, Chu Zheng slowly ceased his practice and pulled up the panel.

[Remaining Repairs for the Day: 5]

The experience points for a Third Order Repair Master had long been filled, just like before when Chu Zheng was still at the Spirit Transformation Realm, restricted by his own cultivation levels.

He would have to wait until he cast a Dao Embryo or achieved Soul Condensing before he had a chance to reach the Fourth Order.

Looking at the panel before him, Chu Zheng's gaze lingered on the newly added Root Bone category, his breathing slightly tense.

Superior Immortal Bone!

The additional piece of bone at the back of his head confirmed one of Chu Zheng's earlier conjectures.

Immortal Bone... can be cultivated acquiredly.

All along, the information he received had put the cart before the horse.

It was not because of the Immortal Bone that there were cultivators, but rather, it was the cultivators who brought about the existence of Immortal Bone.

Just as the first person to practice Immortal Path wasn't naturally capable of drawing in Spiritual Energy into their body, but instead came to understand cultivation later.

A path is ultimately carved out by people themselves.

No matter which cultivation path one takes, whether it's pursuing immortality or striving for power that covers the stellar rivers, the ultimate goal is to seek the evolutionary leap in one's own life level, different paths leading to the same destination.

The Immortal Bone path is merely a trail left by someone who has walked it before, and that's why there were followers.

With a readily available path, expending a significant amount of effort to explore a new path becomes meaningless, and as time goes on, in this world, Immortal Bone has become the stepping stone to the Immortal Path.

Without the existence of the repair panel, as Chu Zheng's cultivation level soared, the Immortal Bone at the back of his head would also have grown to completion gradually.

The panel simply expedited this result.

The first person who possessed an Immortal Bone must have gone through a lengthy evolution to reach today's rudimentary form.

Chu Zheng looked up at the sky, where the stars shone brilliantly against the thick night.

He stepped forth, rising high into the ninth heaven, thunder rippling from his palm, Five Elements transforming into Yin and Yang, once again attempting to borrow the power of heaven and earth.

Boom—

In an instant, dark clouds gathered, and lightning swirled like a flood dragon.

The blinding lightning burst forth from Chu Zheng's palm, brilliantly tearing through the thousand miles of sky.

This time, heaven and earth did not refuse him, lending him a vast amount of Spiritual Energy, which was transformed through the Five Elements Celestial Foundation into world-ending lightning.

Before Chu Zheng could rejoice, his Spiritual Perception suddenly sent out a warning, the Tribulation Qi around his body skyrocketed, swirling violently.

In that moment, a chill went down his spine, as if a harbinger of death was imminent.

In haste, he was unable to locate the source of the crisis, but unwilling to doubt his intuition, he immediately opened a spatial channel and entered the Small World.

A few moments after the spatial channel closed, the heavens churned with thunderclouds, opening a pair of giant eyes dusty from travel, scanning in all directions.

After a while, the dark clouds above slowly dissipated, leaving no trace.

...

...

Out of caution, Chu Zheng spent several days in the Small World before tentatively opening the channel and returning to the Cangyun Realm.

The outside world showed no abnormalities, as if the earlier warning of Tribulation Qi was merely an illusion.

Clouds of doubt filled Chu Zheng's mind, but he couldn't find any clues for the time being.

Reflecting on his actions, he couldn't help but wonder if it was his borrowing of the power of heaven and earth that had triggered some terrifying event.
