Qi Cultivation Starting from the Repair Panel
Chapter 598 - 427: Cutting Illusion and Inquiring Heart, Various Plans_2

The young men, full of vigor, always take a soft approach rather than a hard one. A beauty in their arms, offering flattery and soft words, and the matter will naturally be accomplished.

What he needs to do is seize the initiative, connect with Chu Zheng before the other clans, and insert his own people around him. After that, everything will be easier.

"This..."

Fu Zhixuan hesitated for a moment. She wasn't too familiar with Song Lingxue's current situation, but from what she knew, Song Lingxue was a True Inheritor of the Martial Hall and had not insignificant talent in the martial path.

Back during the Ten Thousand Realms Battlefield, Chu Zheng had just entered the True Immortal level not long ago. She and Chu Zheng were of similar age, not even fifty, yet her cultivation was already at the mid-stage Martial God Realm, comparable to the Immortal Dao Profound.

Now, it's been over a hundred years since they last met at the Ten Thousand Realms Battlefield. By this calculation, Song Lingxue's cultivation should be at least Martial Half-Saint, or even stepping into the Martial Saint Realm, comparable to a True Immortal in the Immortal Dao.

Though cultivation in martial paths progresses slightly faster, a Martial Saint under two hundred years old still compares to a True Immortal under three hundred. Such a figure, in the Great Immortal Realm, appears only once in a hundred thousand years, absolutely not an ordinary existence.

Even if Song Lingxue's talent might not match Chu Zheng's, she still couldn't be compared with most people.

Without the slightest hesitation, she shook her head:

"I can't make this decision. If Sixth Grandfather has such thoughts, you can have Aunt try it out."

She saw no need to risk offending Chu Zheng to act as a matchmaker.

"Sixth Master, there's no need for you to handle this matter."

Fu Yunhe, who hadn't spoken, suddenly piped up, slightly frowning, "Since he is already married and has a wife, how can I stoop to chase after him? Even if you lack shame, the Fu Family still has it. How can anyone willingly become a concubine?"

"Who said anything about you being a concubine?"

Fu Mingxu slightly furrowed his brows and conveyed in a low voice, "Who knows how long Chu Zheng can live? What you need to do is secretly form a bond, leave behind a bloodline! Who asks you to marry him? Do you wish to die with him?"

"You're asking me to seduce him? Isn't that degrading myself?"

Fu Yunhe's face turned pale: "Is this your intention, or the Fu Family's intention?"

"This matter has already been voted on at a clan meeting. You were carefully selected over a long period by several decision-makers within the clan. Do not disappoint the Clan Leader."

Fu Mingxu's expression turned slightly cold, his tone bearing a warning.

Upon hearing the words Clan Leader, Fu Yunhe seemed to have her spine extracted, her back slightly bending as her voice grew hoarse:

"I understand..."

Before the interests of the entire clan, so-called personal honor and disgrace must be temporarily set aside.

"Do not consider this an insult. You indeed possess exceptional talent, but what sort of person is Chu Zheng? Previously during the Dao Inquiry Grand Competition, even the Moonlight Immortal Ancestor personally stepped in for him, eradicating an Immortal Venerable less than ten thousand years old. At barely two hundred years old, with a Perfect Immortal Venerable cultivation, intersecting with the Ancestral Realm, throughout history, has there been a second person capable of such feats?"

Fu Mingxu gave a low rebuke, sternly warning: "Adjust your attitude. If you feel wronged, this matter cannot be accomplished. Look around at these people, who is of lower status than you? Who is weaker in talent? Which ancestry has not produced someone from the Ancestral Realm?"

Upon hearing this, Fu Yunhe took a deep breath, her expression regained calmness. She bowed again and nodded:

"I understand."

Seeing this, Fu Mingxu finally halted his words and did not speak again.

Fu Zhixuan's eyes flashed with a hint of sigh, but she did not say much. Her status within the Fu Family was not high, merely considered a side branch, completely lacking the authority to make decisions.

However, she was not optimistic about these calculations of the various clans.

Though she hadn't interacted much with Chu Zheng, during their time together, she could vaguely sense some nuances.

Chu Zheng's attitude towards unrelated people, including her, was extremely cold.

This coldness wasn't about his demeanor during interactions, but about his indifference towards life and death. Although Chu Zheng spoke to her very politely and courteously, she could still faintly perceive something odd.

When Chu Zheng looked at her, sometimes it didn't feel like he was looking at a living person, but more like a book or a specific page in a book.

Fu Zhixuan was just a name, and perhaps there were additional tags related to her after it, but it didn't carry any real significance.

The fate of the unrelated, in Chu Zheng's eyes, held no weight whatsoever.

But there was an exception for Song Lingxue.

She had sensed this early on during the Ten Thousand Realms Battlefield.

Perhaps Chu Zheng himself hadn't realized it, but his gaze only carried any warmth when looking at Song Lingxue.

Similar scenes occurred in various places around them, where many noblewomen, unaware of the full story, reacted differently.

Some grew angry and left, while others remained indifferent with no visible reaction. Some even cast a gaze full of interest towards Chu Zheng not far away, beginning to scheme in their hearts.

Fu Yunhe looked at Chu Zheng, a hint of complexity in her eyes.

The man sitting before the ancient bronze gate, with his back to the crowd, remained immovable like a stone facing the many scrutinizing gazes.

His aura was not concealed in the slightest, sharp and exposed. Just sitting there, like a tiger at rest, the outline of his back shaped by the Profound Bottom Immortal Clothes was as solid as a mountain, with the immortal patterns picked up by golden threads on his shoulders slightly rising and falling with his breath, as if containing the hidden surge of thunder.

Looking at Chu Zheng before the gate, none of the surrounding clans advanced hastily, but instead, they patiently waited in silence.

In such matters, one must slightly understand reading the room.

Chu Zheng came here naturally for the Heart Burning Corridor, and regardless of what the matter is, it should be addressed after he has passed through. To do otherwise, approaching now and disturbing his mind, would only invite resentment.

Moreover, they were also keen to know how far Chu Zheng could traverse this Heart Burning Corridor.

The further he walked, the higher it would prove Chu Zheng's insight and comprehension.

If Chu Zheng successfully passed the first phase 'Burning Memory' and the second phase 'Burning Desire', entering the third phase 'Burning Heart', then many of the plans they had prepared would need to be altered.

Passing the second phase 'Burning Desire' at least proves that Chu Zheng can completely control his ordinary desires at will, which means female allure would hardly shake his mind.

If that turns out to be the case, they would need to find alternative methods.

As for passing through the Heart Burning Corridor...

No one believed Chu Zheng could reach this step, as Chu Zheng was too young. Although his cultivation was strong enough, his experiences were not plentiful, making it hard to avoid wavering in such heart trials.

Even the present-day Immortal Ancestor, upon passing the Heart Burning Corridor, was over ten thousand years old, having undergone numerous tribulations.

Quickly, silence enveloped the front of the Heart Burning Corridor once more.

In a blink, five hours flashed by like an instant.

The ancient bronze gate glimmered softly, and the immortal beast patterns etched on its face opened their eyes, their beast pupils sparking to life.

Boom——

Accompanied by a deep rumble, the ancient bronze gate that had lay dormant for five thousand years gradually opened, revealing a deep, broad path ahead, over ten meters wide and a little over three hundred meters long, visible from end to end at a glance.

The end was the other side of the Heart Burning Corridor.

This three hundred and thirty meters had trapped all Immortal Path cultivators in the Great Immortal Realm throughout endless ages. Only Feng Ting the Immortal Ancestor had set foot on that land.

Chu Zheng hesitated not at all and strode into the gate, charging headlong towards the corridor's end.

Watching Chu Zheng enter the gate, some cultivators who initially came here to cut through illusions and inquire their hearts successively crossed into the gate, initiating this trial.

Some women of the various clans, who hadn't intended to participate, also stepped in.

Within their hearts, most harbored a sense of unwillingness. In terms of cultivation and combat strength, they could no longer rival Chu Zheng, but in this trial within the Heart Burning Corridor, they might have the chance to surpass him.

Competing on the same stage as Chu Zheng, this could be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

...

...

Within the corridor, Chu Zheng moved continuously forward, striding deeper into the pathway.

After walking more than thirty meters, murmuring whispers constantly echoed around his ears. When he listened closely, he couldn't discern the words, leaving him feeling agitated.

Chu Zheng slightly furrowed his brow, continuing to move forward without stopping.

He wanted to see what kind of memory the Heart Burning Corridor would make him relive.

He couldn't quite recall any events worth regretting, those that could become heart demons, worthy of being replayed over and over.
