Qi Cultivation Starting from the Repair Panel

After finishing these tasks and sorting everything out, Chu Zheng once again opened the Heritage Secret Realm, sending Song Lingqing into it, and then began preparations for his seclusion.

Now, he possessed the Vast Earth Nourishing Spirit Scripture and the Divine Yuan Transcendence Sutra, two Immortal Ascension Methods that filled the gaps for the Earth and Wood elements, allowing him to attempt to transform the remaining three Dao Foundations into Immortal Roots.

Chu Zheng first sought out Geng Yiyang and, after obtaining his permission, he took three top-quality Magic Treasures along with numerous Spiritual Medicines from the Supreme Profound Treasure Vault of Taixuan Holy Land, and then entered seclusion.

In his body were already the Water and Fire Immortal Roots, but the remaining three Dao Foundations, Wood and Earth Elements, lacked Immortal Ascension Methods when they were initially condensed, resulting in certain flaws in the quality of the Dao Foundations.

Regarding this, Chu Zheng had no hesitation, he operated the Qi-refining Technique, converted the Earth Element Qi, and with the aid of the medicine power of the Five Elements Shaping Pill, barely maintained the balance of the Five Elements within his Dantian, then forcibly shattered the Earth Element Dao foundation and began reshaping it using the Vast Earth Nourishing Spirit Scripture.

To shatter and reshape a Dao Foundation was impossible for a common Immortal Path Cultivator, akin to destroying one's path to immortality.

However, Chu Zheng did it without any pressure, and even if it didn't work, he had the chance to start over.

After the Dao Foundation shattered, the Dantian trembled, and the barely maintained balance of the Five Elements was almost disrupted.

Chu Zheng took out a three-foot-long jade branch from his hand, clenched his palm slightly to shatter it, and then absorbed it into his body.

[Spiritual Jade Branch (Sixth Order/Incomplete): A spiritual awakening object, grown in the center of a top-quality Spirit Vein. It is nearly human-shaped, just a step away from a grass or wood becoming an immortal. It was chopped by a True Immortal, leaving only a section of branch and leaves. The vitality is done, beyond repair.

It has absorbed a massive amount of Earth-Attribute Spirit Energy over the years, can affect a cultivator's physique, and has a certain chance to induce the Acquired Earth Spirit Constitution when consumed extensively.]

This section of jade branch was nearly a treasure akin to the Ten Thousand Stars Heavenly Dew, something Gong Rulong found in the whole sweep of the Supreme Profound Treasure Vault.

Due to the lack of Immortal Ascension Methods at the time, Chu Zheng had not used it then and had saved it until now.

The surging Earth-Attribute Spiritual Energy burst forth from within Chu Zheng in an instant, and in a moment, his skin revealed a hue of earth-yellow, arising with bizarre patterns like the cracked ground.

In this moment, he seemed to have transformed from a living being into a clay figurine.

Chu Zheng divided a wisp of his divine sense to operate the Repair Panel, to prevent himself from being completely devoured by the Earth-Attribute Spirit Energy, forcibly bound the spiritual energy, and following the route of the Vast Earth Nourishing Spirit Scripture, he began to reform the Dao Foundation.

The first time he condensed the Dao Foundation, Chu Zheng had no Immortal Bone, hence it was shaky, but now, having a Superior Immortal Bone, the condensation of the Dao Foundation was exceptionally smooth.

In less than half an hour, the nascent form of the new nine-layer Dao Foundation had taken shape, mostly owing to his own natural talent. The Spiritual Energy drawn by the Immortal Bone was sufficient to form the Dao Foundation, and the energy from the Spiritual Jade Branch was far from exhausted.

Under the nourishment of a vast amount of energy, the Earth Element Dao Foundation began to transform at an astonishing rate.

A few hours later, the fully solidified nine-layer Dao Foundation showed signs of merging, rapidly transforming into an Immortal Root.

Soon, an Immortal Root radiating a dim yellow spiritual light stood within the Dantian.

An abnormality quickly transmitted from the Immortal Bone at the back of his head, the affinity for Earth-Attribute Spirit Energy greatly increased.

Without spending time to carefully experience this, Chu Zheng took out numerous Spiritual Medicines, operated the Method of Qi Absorption, forcibly extracted the Wood-Attributed Spirit Qi, and following the previous method, shattered the Wood Element Dao Foundation, breaking before establishing anew.

Although the Divine Yuan Transcendence Sutra was not specifically a Wood Element cultivation method, its Eight Order quality offered unique approaches in condensing the Dao Foundation.

Due to the need for slowly extracting the Wood Element Qi, it took additional time, undoubtedly slowing the process.

Two days later, after having used up numerous Spiritual Medicines, Chu Zheng's Wood Element Immortal Root was completely formed.

Then Chu Zheng took out the three top-quality Magic Treasures from the Supreme Profound Treasure Vault, extracted the Gold Element Qi from them, and began to rebuild the Gold Element Dao Foundation.

The cost of rendering three top-quality Magic Treasures useless was enough to make any Nine Transformations Divine Infant powerhouse bleed in the heart.

A top-quality Magic Treasure could be exchanged for a nation's land, top-quality Magic Treasures have the potential to become spiritually awakened, and their value is far more than several times that of others.

Had Chu Zheng not possessed the Method of Qi Absorption, who knows how much time he would have spent searching for these spiritual items.

With that, the Five Elements were finally perfected.

In the instant when the Five Elements Immortal Root converged, Chu Zheng felt a lightness throughout his body, no longer needing to expend his mental energy to maintain the balance of the five elements in his dantian.

From the amalgamation of the five elements into yin and yang, surges of yin and yang spiritual power arose from his dantian, shooting straight into the back of his brain.

A series of cracking sounds emitted from the immortal bone at the back of his head, inducing a slight anomaly.

Chu Zheng had no time to attend to the nature of the changes, for, as the speed at which he absorbed the five-element spiritual energy soared, his Qi Refinement's cultivation rose significantly, rapidly advancing towards the Dao Embryo Secret Realm.

During his time in the Immortal Martial Battlefield, Ji Yuyan had once "enlightened" him by cleansing his divine soul, laying the groundwork for the Dao Embryo Secret Realm.

If it were not for his focus being mostly on the Immortal Path in recent times, he would have started to condense the Dao Embryo much earlier.

The Dao Embryo Secret Realm is the third realm in Qi Refinement, equivalent to a great cultivator in the Immortal Path's Soul Condensing Realm, marking a critically important step.

From this point on, his divine sense greatly enhanced, enabling him to wield a broader range of divine skills, bringing him a step closer to the realm of "Broad and Vast Divine Abilities."

Having no top and no walls is to be broad; supporting the heavens and bearing the earth is to be great. In the Qi Refining Lineage, those who are known as possessing broad and vast divine abilities are not far from the Return to Void and Merge with the Path.

The pursuit of Qi cultivators is the Innate Realm; this condensation of the Dao Embryo is precisely the reverse of the natural Innate path, trying to adjust one's state toward the innate.

The five-element spiritual energy originates from the immortal roots, transforms into yin and yang, and thereafter is refined into the most fundamental Yuan Qi, entering directly into the middle dantian to begin the condensation of the Dao Embryo.

After the Dao Embryo is condensed, the divine sense will completely materialize, which for the divine soul, is a qualitative transformation similar to the Soul Condensing of the Immortal Path, shifting from an intangible to a tangible state.

Thanks to Ji Yuyan's earlier assistance in cleansing his divine soul, Chu Zheng's process of condensing the Dao Embryo was exceptionally smooth, akin to water flowing into a channel.

According to the records in the Great Circulatory Qi Guideline, ordinary Qi Cultivators need to retreat for at least two months to successfully construct the Dao Embryo.

It took Chu Zheng just half a month to complete the process, and within his middle dantian, there seemed to be an additional lake, bearing nearly liquefied Yuan Qi.

The instant the Dao Embryo was constructed, Chu Zheng's mind cleared instantly, and his divine soul vaguely began to take shape. Before he could further experience this, a prompt from the panel soon came to his mind:

[You have tirelessly cultivated day and night, finally breaking through and stepping into the Third Order, advancing further in the hundred-foot pole of repair techniques; now you are a Fourth Order Repair Master.]

[Constrained by cultivation bottlenecks, you have accumulated a vast amount of repair experience as a Third Order Repair Master, and your vision has already improved greatly; you have successfully nurtured a pair of Spiritual Eyes.]

Spiritual Eyes?

Chu Zheng's mind stirred, pulling up his own panel.
