Qi Cultivation Starting from the Repair Panel
Chapter 590 - 423: Sun-Eroding Cry_2

"The Heavenly Fate is turbulent, I need to soothe the True Spirit, you handle it yourself."

The Immortal Ancestor said nothing more, glanced at Chu Zheng, and got up to leave.

As the Immortal Ancestor departed, the solidified time and space around Chu Zheng instantly dissolved, and he gasped for air, looking at the Immortal Palace before him, unable to recover for a long time.

His thoughts still lingered in the Lower Realm, from the moment the Moonlight Immortal Ancestor appeared, his mind was entirely halted, completely unaware of what had transpired.

Looking at the Moonlight Immortal Ancestor not far away, Chu Zheng calmed his breath, suppressed various thoughts in his heart, stood up, and bowed:

"Thank you Moonlight Immortal Ancestor for your assistance."

"You devoured quite a bit of Immortal Fortune; just now the Immortal Ancestor wanted to kill you."

The Moonlight Immortal Ancestor gazed at Chu Zheng, her eyes piercing through his flesh, seeing Chu Zheng's flawless Primordial Spirit, she made no concealment, stating frankly:

"I also considered that option."

Chu Zheng took a deep breath and offered another grand salute:

"Thank you Moonlight Immortal Ancestor for this great favor. Today, Chu Zheng owes you a life. In the future, if given the chance, I shall repay tenfold."

At the moment the Luck Stealing Skill was activated, Chu Zheng was already prepared to face death.

Stealing Immortal Dao Heavenly Destiny in the Great Immortal Realm, such an act, no matter who, even if it's an Ancestral Realm, ends in certain death.

The Moonlight Immortal Ancestor must have exerted great effort to protect him; now that he is alive, this is already the best outcome.

"Whether you have a future remains uncertain; how long you live depends entirely on your fortune."

The Moonlight Immortal Ancestor shook her head slightly: "You wouldn't have the courage to do such a thing in the Great Immortal Realm, and likely cannot control yourself. The Immortal Ancestor couldn't see the Heavenly Fate on you, probably because of the Dao Seed within you, am I right?"

"The Immortal Ancestor's wisdom is insightful, indeed it is so."

Chu Zheng sighed lowly: "Heavenly Fate is indeed beyond my control."

The reason the Immortal Ancestor and Moonlight Immortal Ancestor couldn't see the Heavenly Fate on him must be due to the Heavenly Flaw Technique.

Moreover, this time, unlike the previous encounter at the Boundary with Evil Demons, he clearly felt a massive Immortal Dao Heavenly Destiny enter his body, accelerating his cultivation progress.

His cultivation speed soared once again, making him feel somewhat startled.

At this moment, if he hadn't intentionally suppressed the speed of Spiritual Energy entering his body, anomalies would have already appeared around him.

Having the Heavenly Fate is what truly makes one a prodigy.

"Let me ask you something, don't hide anything from me."

The Moonlight Immortal Ancestor's expression became much more serious: "Are the two and a half portions of Heavenly Fate from the Dao Ancestor on you?"

"No, absolutely impossible."

Chu Zheng shook his head without the slightest hesitation: "I can sense the Immortal Dao Heavenly Destiny I previously swallowed, but beyond that, nothing else."

If those two and a half portions of Heavenly Fate were truly on him, his cultivation speed would definitely not be just this.

Moreover, Heavenly Fate is tied to tribulations; if he truly possessed such abundant Heavenly Fate, previous small tribulations would have been suppressed by Heavenly Fate directly, he wouldn't need to consider anything else and could naturally transform misfortune into fortune.

"Go now, focus on your cultivation, and patiently await the Dao Inquiry Grand Competition seven years from now."

The Moonlight Immortal Ancestor said no more, waved her hand, signaling Chu Zheng to leave.

Chu Zheng hesitated for a moment, tempted to inquire about the Sun-Eroding Cry because of the voice he'd heard earlier.

Ultimately, he suppressed this thought; it's better not to incur complications for now.

Originally, he intended to leave the Great Immortal Realm directly, forsaking any so-called rewards, but now the Moonlight Immortal Ancestor likely wouldn't let him go.

Not until Chu Zheng exited the great hall did the Moonlight Immortal Ancestor look toward the adjacent void: "Is there anything you are still concerned about?"

From the void came a low sigh from the Immortal Ancestor.

Two and a half portions of Heavenly Fate, compared to what Chu Zheng devoured, are fundamentally different tiers, completely unable to be concealed.

The Moonlight Immortal Ancestor remained silent for a long time, slowly took out a thin booklet, opened the cover, and lines of text appeared before her eyes.

[Dao Ancestor walks the world, heavenly Qi shines brilliantly, the heavens resound, body entwined with purple lightning, bearing the light of Heavenly Fate, everywhere he goes, thousands of paths scatter, starry seas rise in reverse, all beings bow, many Immortals avoid, none dare challenge him.]

[The sun and moon hide from his sharpness, concealed behind starry clouds; ghosts and gods fear his might, submitted to the abyss of the universe.]

[Heavenly Fate is like a shackle, binding all beings irredeemably; Dao Ancestor bears the yoke, fearing the universe, and with it, subdues heaven and earth.]

After experiencing the ancient battle of the Dao Ancestor, he is practically one step away from supremacy over two realms.

The Dao Ancestor of old likewise bore visible traces of Heavenly Fate, which was clearly documented in ancient texts.

Even the Dao Ancestor couldn't hide the aura of Heavenly Fate; how did Chu Zheng manage it?

After contemplating for a long while, the Moonlight Immortal Ancestor whispered:

"Ultimately, it still revolves around the Dao Ancestor..."

...

...

After leaving the Fairy Palace, Chu Zheng did not linger in the Upper Realm, but went straight to the Lower Realm.

First, because the Spiritual Energy in the Upper Realm is too abundant, if he unleashes his cultivation, it would inevitably cause numerous anomalies, attracting too much attention.

He currently has sufficient cultivation resources, not lacking the aid of environmental factors, so any place would suffice.

Second, he wanted to try whether he could hear the voice he heard previously in the Lower Realm once more.

This clearly concerns the secrets of the Great Immortal Realm.

He cannot stay here long; learning more secrets will surely be helpful in the future.

Information is always crucial at any time, even seemingly insignificant information is far better than knowing nothing.

Finding a random cave, after setting up an array, Chu Zheng prepared to start his closed-door training.

Before seclusion, he took out the Blood Jade used for communication with Song Lingxue, considered for a moment, and sent a message.

Since he arrived in the Great Immortal Realm, Song Lingxue hadn't sent him any messages, with no news at all, inevitably causing some concern.

A few days later, Song Lingxue finally replied, the message was lengthy, reporting her safety and saying she was well in recent days, along with some situations in the Martial Hall.

During this period, the Martial Hall had become much more stable due to Fu Pinglan's seclusion and the disappearance of Heavenly Punishment, likely won't see any war for hundreds of years.

Though she said so, Chu Zheng still sensed some unusual aura.

Song Lingxue's words appeared quite anxious, distinctly different from before, mentioning several times in the message about changes in circumstances after Fu Pinglan emerged from seclusion, advising him to make preparations and even urging him to focus on cultivation, which had never happened before.

The hundreds of years seem not quite enough for her, as she evidently harbors fear towards Fu Pinglan.

Separated by the Star Sea, beyond reach, Chu Zheng could only suppress his doubts for now and speak when he leaves the Great Immortal Realm.

After over three years in seclusion, the voice previously heard in Chu Zheng's mind finally resounded again.

The words were somewhat fragmented, but this time the content was much more than before.

"Qi Cultivator... Zheng Chu's disciple... how to cultivate... melt Void and Rebirth Ancestor Blood? How is the Erosion Sun lineage?"

"Let Zheng Chu come... he promised me..."

After just two short sentences, the voice fell silent again.

After probing around, Chu Zheng confirmed the voice came from beneath the earth.

Adding these two statements, it can now mostly be certain of this person's identity.

It must undoubtedly be Martial Ancestor Erosion Sun.

This colossus, who slew a generation of Immortal Ancestor and rose during Ancient Times, still lives today.

Chu Zheng pondered for a moment, closed his eyes again, refrained from taking unnecessary actions, and continued his cultivation in seclusion.

...

...

Three more years passed in no time.

The once-in-a-millennium Dao Inquiry Grand Competition, is far grander than the previous Immortal Crossing Ceremony.

Although cultivators with a bone age under ten thousand years can participate, those who actually do are mostly True Immortals.

Many True Immortals from other Great Realms also come here, this is one of the rare occasions in the Great Immortal Realm when the great boundary walls are opened, allowing cultivator access freely.

The Dao Inquiry Grand Competition doesn't have fixed duration, but generally lasts over three to five years, as previously, True Immortals dueled and discussed Dao, needing recovery time, thus often extending the period.

But Chu Zheng doesn't intend to delay that long.

On the day of the Dao Inquiry Grand Competition, Chu Zheng ascended directly onto the Dao Inquiry Platform.

The Dao Inquiry Platform is the ultimate place to determine the champion.

However, if one has sufficient confidence in their battle capability, they can directly ascend the platform, face challenges from thousands of Immortals, and if they can endure till the end, naturally become the champion.

Looking at Chu Zheng standing on the Dao Inquiry Platform, the faces of all True Immortals below turned green.

Are they to contend with an Immortal Venerable?
