Qi Cultivation Starting from the Repair Panel

As dusk fell, the slanting sun cast a blood-red hue inside the Green Stone Grand Hall.

The beast bone engraved with the Great Circulatory Qi Guideline was passed through the hands of the chiefs of the three clans, each reacting differently.

Shan Xun looked over it twice, then asked, "Does this method have any drawbacks?"

"There are indeed some drawbacks,"

Chu Zheng didn't hide anything and nodded, "Cultivators are subject to the interventions of Heavenly Fate; fortunes are fickle, exposing them to misfortunes and disasters, making it hard to meet a good end."

Tribulation Qi is the greatest obstacle for Qi Cultivators. From his journey, one could see hints of this; if it weren't for someone secretly protecting him, coupled with the repair interface, he would have died countless times already.

It was extremely rare for Qi Cultivators to remain alive and cultivate to the Heavenly Immortal stage. This path is in fact much harder than the path to immortality.

"These are not real drawbacks," Yan Bi scoffed softly, the red divine flower imprinted on his cheek stirring:

"Even if we don't cultivate this method, how many in this world can actually meet a good end?"

As Wan Qiong caressed the beast bone in hand, his brows slightly furrowed, "Even if one cultivates this method to the highest level, it's not comparable to warriors in the Pinnacle Realm. What about the subsequent techniques?"

The Quality of the Great Circulatory Qi Guideline is only of Sixth Order, capable of cultivating up to the Returning to Void Realm at most; subsequent techniques for Dao Integration and Becoming an Immortal are naturally not included.

"Once the Golden Body is established and I have obtained what I want, I will naturally give them to you,"

After a slight pause, Chu Zheng then said, "Likewise, this technique will be passed on in the name of Daoist Venerable Zheng Chu, and so will be all the various methods I give you later on."

He could not stay in this realm forever; if the three of them were to renege on their agreement later and destroy his fledgling temples, his barely established faint beliefs would be instantly crushed, leaving not a trace behind.

Only by making Daoist Venerable Zheng Chu an entity that can change the Dongyuan Human Clan's predicament could his incense fire and followers truly take root in the Dongyuan Realm and grow over time.

From then on, the Dongyuan Human Clan to be born would bathe in the divine radiance of Daoist Venerable Zheng Chu from the moment of their birth.

As time passed, when Wan Qiong and his generation passed away, leaving the world without interference from other Incense Fire Deities, the Dongyuan Human Clan would eventually become his for the taking.

This process might take thousands or even tens of thousands of years or longer, but with the stark difference in the flow of time, Chu Zheng could afford to wait.

The three looked at each other for a few moments before their gazes settled on Chu Zheng simultaneously, and Yan Bi spoke in a deep voice:

"In that case, the agreement between us is settled. I hope you will disclose everything, leaving no detail untold."

"Of course," Chu Zheng nodded, "I'll wait here for the good news."

Hum—

Before Chu Zheng's words fell, a ripple suddenly stirred in the void of the hall, and a figure rushed out in haste, his expression horrified. He knelt before Wan Qiong and kowtowed:

"Chief, the Savage Beast Tide in the Thirteen Wastelands has erupted, breached three layers of our realm's border defenses, and is pressing into our heartland. Clans such as the Golden Hook Eagle, Divine Rabbit, Flying Scorpion have been completely wiped out!"

Wan Qiong's gaze immediately sharpened, with a surge of killing intent in his eyes. Discover exclusive tales on empire

Shan Xun and Yan Bi's expressions also changed subtly as they took out several bone tiles from their sleeves, blood patterns emerged on them, condensing into Bone Inscriptions.

"The Yan Clan has also been attacked, the perimeter has been breached, and more than one Beast King has led the onslaught. This beast tide is feared to be unlike any before," Yan Bi's forehead tightened, his expression fluctuating, a cloud of doubts arising in his heart.

"The Heavenly Spirit Race has also been attacked on their borders, with significant casualties. This is not an attack solely on our Human Race," Shan Xun took a deep breath, his tone grave, "I fear this trouble is considerable."

Wan Qiong also realized something, speaking softly, "Either a new Beast Emperor has ascended, or that formidable tiger has awakened."

The aftermath of the Great Beast Hunting Festival had always been met with a retaliatory Beast Tide, but never had there been a crisis as severe as this moment.

Among the Savage Beasts, they were not a united front, especially since, for nearly a thousand years, with the Beast Emperor missing and the throne vacant, the kings of each tribe had been eyeing the position of Beast Emperor.

Compared to before, the situation for the Human Race and the Heavenly Spirit Race had improved considerably over this thousand years, but now with a full-scale invasion of Savage Beasts, this relative peace was unlikely to continue.

"In the coming period, we will all need to go to the frontier to fend off the Beast Tide, and may not have time to help you work on that Golden Body,"

Wan Qiong looked at Chu Zheng and casually said, "You should stay here and wait for news. Once the Beast Tide has passed, we will discuss further."

Implementing the cultivation methods and the other means that Chu Zheng spoke of a moment ago would take a lot of time to truly affect the Dongyuan Human Clan which could take hundreds to thousands of years to see results. But now, the Human Race did not have that much time.

"I will not wait here idly," Chu Zheng shook his head, his expression serious, "Please take me to the frontier with you."

With the repair interface, he would be at least much stronger than those witches in saving lives, not to mention the fact that he could also fix rune soldiers damaged in battle.

In this war, he had to do his utmost, no matter how much he could contribute.

The prerequisite for attaining the Incense Fire Willpower of the Dongyuan Human Clan was for the clan to survive, not to be exterminated.

The frontier battlefield would surely gather most of the Human Race elites. People who showed up there would become the crucial pillars of the Dongyuan Human Clan in the future. It would only be beneficial to start making contact with them in advance.

Hearing what Chu Zheng said, Yan Bi and Shan Xun, who were about to leave, stopped in their tracks.

"You want to go to the battlefield? With your current strength? Looking for death?" Yan Bi didn't mince his words, believing that Chu Zheng staying here was the best option, to avoid needless sacrifice.
