Qi Cultivation Starting from the Repair Panel

Great Zhou was a magical land, home to the Martial Path heritage as well as hidden lineages such as the Song Family with many secret inheritances.

Its Scripture Pavilion must certainly be hiding some surprises.

Now that the outside world was in great turmoil, it was a good time for him to lay low and cultivate in peace for a while.

The midday sun sprinkled over the lake, shimmering on the surface, with wild grass thriving on the shores.

Life was breeding within the lake, marked by the occasional ripple on the water\'s center.

No one would have imagined that less than a year prior, a centuries-old household had stood where the lake was now.

All the stories that had taken place there were completely buried, leaving not a single trace behind.

After a hundred years...a thousand years, no one will remember any of it.

Chu Zheng stood on the shore, gazing long and hard at the lake before him, silent and motionless, his black robe fluttering in the breeze that met him head-on, and for a moment, he felt somewhat moved.

It was as if for an instant, he witnessed the power of time.

Suddenly, Chu Zheng\'s expression shifted slightly, and he raised his hand to activate the Invisibility Technique, concealing both his and Song Lingqing\'s figures.

A figure descended openly from the sky, stopping above the lake.

He appeared to be a young cultivator in his teens, holding a compass, dressed in white with a wooden crown and jade belt, his features handsome and his attire unassuming yet exuding nobility at a glance.

His cultivation was quite strong, with a Celestial Foundation formed within him, already at the Entry Path.

This was the land where the ancestors of the Great Zhou Royal Family had manifested their divine presence, and Imperial Secret Guards were stationed in all directions.

Such a brazen act naturally attracted the attention of many Secret Guards, and in an instant, the area surrounding the lake was surrounded by people.

"I am the Commander of the White Tiger Imperial Secret Guards, Town Garrison Command of Great Zhou. May I inquire which Superior Immortal you are from?"

A leader clad in silver armor stepped forward politely, paid his respects and asked respectfully.

His robust Blood Qi revealed he was at the level of a Martial Path Grandmaster.

The youth did not answer his question but instead looked around and announced loudly:

"I\'ll ask you, is there anyone here with the surname Song?"

Upon hearing this question, Chu Zheng\'s brow furrowed, his eyes narrowed slightly. In the eyes of the public, the Song Family was already annihilated; how could someone come looking for them now?

Song Lingqing, who beside him was still marveling at the miraculous Invisibility Technique, also showed a hint of surprise in her expression, with a cloud of suspicion forming in her eyes.

The Song Family had never been involved with Entry Dao Realm cultivators, and this person\'s sudden arrival almost certainly spelled trouble.

Hearing the young cultivator\'s question, the leader in silver armor seemed hesitant, pondered for a few moments, and then replied truthfully:

"To report back to the Superior Immortal, there are no people with the surname Song here, although there used to be a Song Family."

"Where is this Song Family now?"

"It has been annihilated."

"Annihilated?"

On hearing these two words, the young man immediately frowned, a hint of displeasure surfacing in his expression: "Who did it?"

"I am not privy to the details. I beg the Superior Immortal\'s forgiveness," the leader in silver armor shook his head.

Even if he knew some of the truth, he couldn\'t just say anything rashly. Affairs between the Immortal Sects should be handled by themselves.

Gurgle—

The young man\'s compass emitted a strange noise, he immediately looked down at the compass in his hand, and after a light exclamation, his head turned sharply in the direction of Chu Zheng and the others.

"Did he see us?" Song Lingqing asked, slightly startled.

"Impossible."

Chu Zheng shook his head decisively. As he had stepped into the Jade Bone Realm, his Invisibility Technique had already become a Second Order Divine Skill.

Even a cultivator at the Soul Condensing Realm would need to carefully inspect for a while to break the Invisibility Technique, and a casual glance would definitely not reveal anything.

The cultivation of this young cultivator was only at the Mid Entry Dao Realm; he certainly did not have such capabilities.

Chu Zheng looked at the compass in the youth\'s hand, glanced at Song Lingqing beside him, and seemed to have come to a realization.

To confirm his guess, Chu Zheng immediately grabbed Song Lingqing and shot into the sky, making a beeline for the city outskirts.

The young cultivator standing in mid-air watched his compass vibrate chaotically, looked up at the empty void, and couldn\'t help but look puzzled.

After hesitating for a while, he didn\'t follow the compass but instead landed beside the lake.

"Superior Immortal, if you have no business here, please leave this place. After all, this land is where the Zhao Clan ancestors manifested their divinity and is not suitable for outsiders to linger," the leader in silver armor reminded him succinctly.

"Zhao Clan?"

The youth looked puzzled and then asked, "The surname of the Royal Family here?"

"Indeed."

"How dare a mere surname of an Imperial Dynasty call itself a clan?"

Seeing the leader in silver armor nod, the youth sneered, parted the waves with a gesture, and walked into the lake.

The leader in silver armor\'s mouth twitched slightly, opting not to say anything further. After bowing with a fist, he stepped aside.

Beyond Great Zhou, the Sects had already begun to clash in earnest, with Superior Immortals often falling in skirmishes, yet Great Zhou remained tranquil, which proved the deterrent power of the Zhao ancestors.

He didn\'t know where this youngster had come from, but he didn\'t want to risk his life unnecessarily.

A short while later, the young man emerged from the lake looking somewhat dejected. He took out the compass again, soared into the sky, and followed the compass\'s direction towards the city outskirts.

Looking at the lake, the leader in silver armor fell into deep thought. He signaled for a messenger to come:

"Report this to His Majesty, saying that others are still searching for the Song Clan bloodline."

...

...

Thirty miles outside Luofeng City, atop a low peak,

Chu Zheng dispelled the Invisibility Technique and slightly shifted his facial features, transforming into a middle-aged cultivator around thirty years of age.

He first applied a disguise to himself, to avoid clashes due to his appearance, since he had some questions to ask that person and didn\'t wish to act hastily.
