Qi Cultivation Starting from the Repair Panel

A chain emerged within the starry sky, seemingly just over a hundred zhang long, but upon closer inspection, it appeared to contain endless void. Its surface patterns flowed gently like living creatures, sometimes forming landscapes and mountains, sometimes dispersing into ethereal star spirals.

Chu Zheng's expression paused slightly, a faint golden light seeping from his eye.

[Heaven-Binding Lock (Tenth Order): Immortal Emperor Weapon, embedded with Immortal Veins, capable of suppressing all living creatures beneath the Mythical Domain.]

Emperor Weapon?!

Gazing at the vague information sent by the Spiritual Eye, Chu Zheng's heart sank suddenly. He hadn't expected that so soon someone would target him. Who could it be? Someone from the Immortal Ancestor?

To manipulate the Emperor Weapon, one must at least be at the level of an Immortal Monarch, definitely not qualified by an Immortal King!

The Heaven-Binding Lock appeared neither gold nor jade, neither silk nor leather, seemingly like glass, silently suspended in the starry sky, with a naturally pervasive oppressive presence, making the heart slightly tense.

Before Chu Zheng could think more, his vision was instantly torn apart!

Instantly, the starry sky flashed abruptly, void shattered, and dazzling brilliance exploded, nearly blinding Chu Zheng's eyes.

It seemed as if an invisible giant hand, in an unreasonably domineering manner, forcibly dragged a piece of star domain from the depths of the distant Star River, crossing endless light-years, and roughly stuffed it into this barbaric Star Sea!

He almost reacted immediately, realizing this was a phenomenon of large-scale space shift, with difficult-to-escape light emitted by the passing stars being shifted here and exploding instantly!

The originally somewhat dim starry sky was now madly spewing light with every inch; it wasn't orderly starlight but billions of forcibly compressed and twisted turbulent light streams!

Given Chu Zheng's current cultivation, even he was almost dazzled.

Amid the chaotic starlight, several figures gradually walked out, and before Chu Zheng could observe closely, the Heaven-Binding Lock suspended in the starry sky suddenly moved, winding towards Chu Zheng.

Invisible ripples expanded slowly, Chu Zheng's protective immortal power, boiling like the fierce sun, dissolved like ice and snow upon contact, silently extinguished, and his internal Yuan Qi was instantly suppressed.

The Heaven-Binding Lock resembled a gently flowing stream, pacing across the starry sky, wrapping around Chu Zheng's waist. The cold touch penetrated through the Vestment robe, imprinting onto flesh and bones.

Chu Zheng's body stiffened slightly, feeling a suffocating sensation not from external force confinement but from deep within himself, where originally rivers surged, life thrived with immortal power Essence Qi, now dried up, turned into a desolate wasteland. The tremendous power that could overturn star domains now even made lifting a finger feel as heavy as ten thousand catties.

"Do not struggle; beneath the Emperor Realm, even if you are a supreme Immortal Monarch or a Perfect Golden Immortal...when encountering this lock, all become mundane, can only submit and wait to be seized."

With a faint voice echoing, a group of four walked up to Chu Zheng, one man and three women. Leading them was a nearly forty-year-old middle-aged man.

Though mana was subdued, the Spiritual Eye remained functional, quickly transmitting the information of the few in front back to Chu Zheng's mind.

[Shan Jingxuan (Tenth Order): Shan Clan blood descendant, cultivation at Immortal Emperor Perfection, mainly practices Nine Luminaries Immortal Scripture.]

Shan Jingxuan wore a pale purple cloud-patterned Immortal Robe, nearly forty, with a lean face, temples slightly frosted, his chin sporting meticulously trimmed short whiskers, eyebrows devoid of the sharpness of an Emperor Realm giant, exuding a serene dignity from long-term upper rank.

Immortal Emperor Perfection?!

Though the information relayed was minimal, it was already shocking enough.

Chu Zheng's complexion shifted slightly; currently only at Great Immortal Venerable Perfection Realm, even if he consumed a Longevity Immortal Fruit and advanced to Immortal King Perfection, he could never be a match for a Great Immortal Emperor; the gap was simply too vast.

He wondered whether to feel honored, having startled a Great Immortal Emperor into personally wielding Emperor Weapon to capture him.

Chu Zheng sighed lightly, his gaze sweeping towards the remaining three women, all appearing to be in their youthful prime, exuding exuberant vitality, exquisitely picturesque features.

After seeing the information of these three women, Chu Zheng's expression slightly paused, and his face changed instantly.

[Shan Huaiyu (Eighth Order): Bone Age five hundred and forty-two, cultivation First Tribulation True Immortal, pure-blooded Immortal Descendant, Shan Clan main vein direct descendant, proficient in Immortal Emperor Technique Jade Lotus Scripture.]

[Shan Xin (Eighth Order): Bone Age four hundred and ninety-seven, cultivation Second Tribulation True Immortal, pure-blooded Immortal Descendant, Shan Clan main vein direct descendant, bloodline showing signs of Ancestral Return, proficient in Immortal Emperor Technique Nine Luminaries Immortal Scripture.]

[Shan Qingwan (Eighth Order): Bone Age six hundred and fifty-two, cultivation Four Tribulations True Immortal, pure-blooded Immortal Descendant, Shan Clan main vein direct descendant, proficient in Emperor Skill Heavenly Favor Nine Swords.]

These people were all Shan Clan blood descendants; given Shan Jingxuan's cultivation, capturing him wouldn't require bringing along three such talented juniors by his side.

Evidently, their purpose was not just this.

Shan Jingxuan glanced at Chu Zheng, slowly sweeping over his limbs and bones, his gaze devoid of any warmth as if merely inspecting whether an object was intact.

After scrutinizing, he spoke no more, raising a hand to send an Immortal Pill through the air into Chu Zheng's mouth.

The Immortal Pill dissolved into a warm flow upon entering, flooding limbs and bones, Chu Zheng's body heated slightly, instantly feeling a fluctuation in Blood Qi, reversing through limbs and bones, rushing towards the Lower Dantian.

The massive reversal of Blood Qi made Chu Zheng's complexion pallid for a moment, his mind buzzed, almost fainting.

"Only one chance, Reverse Blood Pill lasts only a few days, act carefully, extract all his Essence Yuan, strive for conception."

Shan Jingxuan turned away, walked a distance, waved his hand urging, "Quick and decisive."

Chu Zheng immediately widened his eyes; this.....were they going to use force against him?

At this moment, he finally understood Shan Jingxuan, this Great Immortal Emperor, bringing these few women to him, for what purpose.

He never expected that the Immortal Alliance people were crazed enough with the obsession of bloodline to such a degree, thinking of using such despicable means against him!

Chu Zheng forcibly diverted a thread of his mind, establishing contact with a nearby avatar, sending an accurate coordinate to Song Lingxue.

In this moment, he felt immensely relieved, glad that he hadn't smoothly taken back this avatar during his travels but left it aside, unexpectedly it quickly proved useful.

Otherwise, in such barbaric Star Sea, he would have no means to call for help.

Soon, the avatar sent back a message, Song Lingxue was already on her way, expected to arrive shortly, not taking too long.

Chu Zheng calmed himself, carefully sensing the internal changes, his mood sinking slightly, realizing the pill fed by Shan Jingxuan was extremely violent, nearly draining all his Essence Yuan, concentrating around the Lower Dantian.

If this Essence Yuan was extracted, for ordinary cultivators, it would lead to foundational flaws, even life-threatening.

The three women exchanged glances, their gaze ultimately falling on Chu Zheng suppressed by the Heaven-Binding Lock, expressions somewhat complex.

After prolonged silence, the youngest Shang Xin moved, slowly approaching.

She lowered her head, her lips forming a slight bitter smile, eyes brimmed with shame and resentment, lightly biting her lips, her voice like a mosquito's buzz, "We are unwilling as well, apologies..."

As the words fell, she began to undo her belt, slowly removing her Immortal Robe.

Just as her garment was halfway undone, suddenly, beneath the Star Dome, a blood-red light surged.

Hiss—

The sound like tearing cloth reverberated through the starry sky, the blade edge of the Battle Halberd, wrapped in boiling blood light and shattered space-time fragments, fiercely pierced through the Barbaric Star Sea.

Song Lingxue focused her gaze on Shan Jingxuan, her eyes icy cold, killing intent surging furiously, it was a long while before she suppressed the continuously rising intent within.

At this moment, to strike down an Immortal Emperor would carry far too significant implications, equivalent to actively starting a war.

Once this spark emerged, those within the Martial Hall and some within the Immortal Alliance would certainly seize the opportunity, sparing no expense to instigate the opening of the Dao War.

The hand holding the halberd, with long fingers, a woman clad in Battle Armor emerged from the depths of the starry sky, her long hair like a burning flame, dancing wildly amidst the turbulent space currents and vast Blood Qi.
