Qi Cultivation Starting from the Repair Panel

The strength of the Zhao Family was much more formidable than Chu Zheng had previously anticipated.

The Fourteenth Imperial Great Uncle mentioned by Zhao Yunan turned out to be a powerful being who had reached Divine Infant Perfection and was on the verge of Divine Transformation.

Divine Infant Perfection—in a grand sect like the Phantom Spirit Sect, the supreme leader of the entire sect would hold such cultivation.

This Fourteenth Imperial Great Uncle was currently active in the northern part of the Southern Region and had become a high-ranking member of a great sect, holding an extraordinary status.

Yet the Zhao Family\'s heritage was far more profound than this.

The most crucial secret lied with Zhao Tingxian himself.

Before Zhao Tingxian\'s birth, the Zhao Family was nothing special—merely a common mortal household. But now, almost every generation would have several Immortal Seedlings born with varying degrees of talent.

Those with lesser talent usually stayed within the Great Zhou Royal Family, while those with exceptional gifts often left Great Zhou to join the Great Immortal Sects in search of their own path.

Since Zhao Tingxian\'s time, the Zhao bloodline had undergone some peculiar transformation.

This inevitably led Chu Zheng to speculate that, much like the True Immortal Noble Family of the Song Clan, it wasn\'t the bloodline that created a True Immortal but rather the True Immortal that had created the bloodline.

It was highly possible that Zhao Tingxian\'s cultivation had reached the True Immortal Realm, and his bloodline power had influenced his entire family.

This interplay between bloodlines was truly mysterious; one person had changed an entire family, a miracle that drastically lowered the difficulty for later generations to enter the Immortal Path.

Just from this aspect alone, should a True Immortal exist in the world for a long time, the might of a noble family would be greatly magnified, even surpassing that of the Sects.

In terms of close-knit connections, there are few relationships in this world that transcend blood ties.

The Zhao Clan of Great Zhou indeed took the art of silently accruing wealth to the extreme. Who would have thought that a small mundane dynasty could evolve into a True Immortal noble family, growing drastically through subtle and profound influences?

Over a thousand years, Zhao descendants have quietly infiltrated various Immortal Sects, and now most of them have made substantial progress in their cultivation.

Even Zhao Yunan, the Son of Heaven, had no idea how strong the Zhao Family truly was; Zhao Liangguang himself wouldn\'t have been privy to this information had he not possessed the Immortal Bone.

...

...

After digesting all this information, Chu Zheng exited the Small World, resuming his previous state.

He continued his secluded cultivation and casually perused some texts.

The Scripture Pavilion contained numerous accounts of the Martial Path; Great Zhou had retained a large collection of Martial Arts Techniques from the previous dynasty\'s heritage.

There was no shortage of techniques at the First and Second Order of Quality.

Records even showed that at one point in the shadows, the Zhao Family had boldly attempted to let offspring without Immortal Bones research the Martial Path.

This path was not without risks, and due to its extreme difficulty, the venture was gradually shelved.

From these martial texts, Chu Zheng could vaguely discern some differences between the Martial Path and the Immortal Path.

The Immortal Path also involved Nourishing Power, but from the Soul Condensing Realm onwards, the focus would gradually shift, with more effort being put into the Divine Soul.

By resonating between the Divine Soul and the heavens and the earth to comprehend the Laws, Immortal Path Cultivators could exert terrifyingly powerful spells.

The ultimate goal of refining the body in the Immortal Path was to make it capable of sustaining a robust Primordial Spirit and Spirit Soul.

Once reaching the standard to nourish the Primordial Spirit, further efforts in strengthening the body would not be pursued, unless one possessed extraordinary talent and chose to focus on Body Refinement.

However, even the most formidable Body Refinement practitioner still had a considerable gap compared to a Martial Cultivator.

The most orthodox path of Martial Cultivation initially involves the conditioning of the body, passing through the stages of Muscle Transforming, Strengthening Veins, Skin Refining, Bone Forging, and Blood Changing, before entering the Qi Condensing Realm.

Then comes Gathering Qi into Aura, Grasping Aura into Pill, where Pill is shattered to meld with the hundred meridians, leading to a transformation in the existence of life, innate divine power arises, ascending to the Martial God Realm.

The current Martial Path practices in the world have somewhat deviated from the proper way of cultivation; the path has already gone askew.

Song Lingxue\'s situation is incredibly unique.

Had it not been for the exceptional Quality of the Song Family\'s Cultivation Technique, coupled with the Yang Essence bestowed upon her by Chu Zheng and harmonizing with her own Yuan Yin essence, filling her with Innate Essence Qi, she would have faced a winding journey to achieve Yuan Aura.

The Martial Arts Techniques in the Mansion\'s Treasury were vastly inferior to the Xuan Tian Martial Barrier. After weighing the options, Chu Zheng decided to temporarily put them aside, not eager to have Song Yun try them out.

Zhao Liangguang\'s Storage Bag contained a plethora of cultivation resources, certainly more affluent than what is typically available to average Spiritual Spring Realm disciples in ordinary Sects.

This was clear evidence that despite being detached from the mundane world, many Zhao descendants were still supporting their family, providing ample assistance to relatives who remained within Great Zhou.

...

...

In the blink of an eye, a month had passed with the rising and setting of the sun.

At dusk, the slowly burning afterglow of the setting sun painted the skies red, and the oblique rays poured into the Quiet Room, casting a pale golden hue.

Chu Zheng sat cross-legged on the couch, with a Spirit Pill in his mouth and two Superior Quality Spirit Stones in hand, cultivating with his eyes closed.

In these days, his cultivation routine had become extremely regular; during the day, he would cultivate the Taixuan Divine Fire Scripture.

At night, he performed the Great Circulation Refining Qi, harnessing the Yin Qi of the moonlight to temper the fiery nature of the Divine Fire and further enhance the Yuan Qi within his body.

Cultivating in both these methods didn\'t affect his progress in slightest; it might have even hastened it.

Humm—

Suddenly, a surge of Qi erupted, and Chu Zheng\'s aura changed; the Mana in his Dantian surged, enhancing his Immortal Path Cultivation by a margin, ascending to the pinnacle of the Spirit Spring Realm.
