Qi Cultivation Starting from the Repair Panel

The Heavenly Fortune Immortal Tablet, which carried the Immortal Path's Qi Fortune for billions of years and was indestructible, under the impact of the Silver Moon offered by Moonlight's own Dao Seed, shattered like fragile glass. From the core's thirteen Innate Blood Patterns, it instantly became covered with web-like cracks!

Boom——

In the next moment, the Immortal Tablet exploded completely, countless jade shards containing the vast Immortal Path Qi Fortune and Law Fragments shooting out in all directions like destructive Star Fragments. An invisible Bloodline Chain linking all the cultivators of the thirteen clans was severed at this moment!

Almost at the same instant as the tablet shattered, all the Immortal Path cultivators scattered throughout the Great Immortal Realm and even the Great Universe, regardless of their cultivation level or location, felt as if struck by lightning.

Those with low cultivation were not greatly affected, but many cultivators who had entered the Ninth Order and stepped into the Immortal Venerable Domain turned pale, coughed up blood, and the bloodline power they once took pride in began to madly counterattack and burn like ignited fuses.

In this moment, all Immortal Path cultivators felt something in their hearts.

The sky... collapsed!

The Immortal Path's sky, under Moonlight's strike, completely collapsed. The era where bloodlines were revered in the Immortal Path, was ended by her own hands.

...

...

A moment earlier.

As the dust of the Chaos Sea had just settled, Chu Zheng, with the immense aura of fifteen Ancient Ancestors wrapped around him, traversed the Endless Star Domain and descended outside the sky of the Great Immortal Realm, shrouded by ninety-nine Suns.

His gaze instantly locked onto the Moonlight Immortal Ancestor standing before the Heavenly Fortune Immortal Tablet.

Surrounding her body flowed a vast Qi Fortune that had just been forcibly infused and not yet fully integrated, making it impossible to hide.

The center of Chu Zheng's brow locked tightly upon seeing Moonlight, his eyes extremely complex, feeling an immediate headache.

The Moonlight Immortal Ancestor had done him great favors; without her protection, he would not have survived to this day, even with ten lives. He constantly remembered this gratitude.

Now, the Immortal Dao Heavenly Destiny resided in Moonlight, which undoubtedly blocked his hand at seizing destiny.

To seize destiny, one must kill. This is the foundation on which the Dao Seed within him operated.

At least for now, he had not found any other method to strip away the Heavenly Destiny.

If there were any method to take Heavenly Destiny without harming life, he would have already used it on Song Lingxue.

Moonlight Immortal Ancestor...

Chu Zheng's eyes showed complexity and hesitation, but the bloodthirsty intent of the many Ancient Ancestors behind him did not waver in the slightest, their eyes locked onto Moonlight as if wolves eyeing prey.

Under the gaze of the Ancient Ancestors, Moonlight Immortal Ancestor slowly raised her hand and shattered the Immortal Tablet.

In an instant, Chu Zheng's body became suddenly hot, a gush of Essence Blood overflowed from his throat and was instantly expelled.

It was the Treasure Blood from Immortal Ancestor Xumi Sheng. He had used this blood to enter the Immortal Venerable Realm and become a Mixed-blooded Immortal Descendant.

Now, at the moment the Innate Blood Patterns broke, this Immortal Blood was also expelled from his body, no longer possessing its divine properties.

The shattered pieces of the Immortal Tablet scattered like Star Fragment remnants, and the air filled with a thick scent of blood and the lament of bloodline disintegration.

The Great Immortal Realm was filled with mournful cries everywhere.

The Immortal Locks binding the Suns above the sky began to break one after another. The Golden Crow, trapped within them, spread their wings and soared up, letting out cries of joy, scattering across the universe.

The original Golden Crow Ancient Clan, suppressed entirely in this place, could only breed and live atop the Suns, sealed by Immortal Locks, unable to step out. Now with the collapse of the Immortal Path, they gained a new lease on life.

The scattered Heavenly Fire streaked across the sky, falling into the Great Immortal Realm, transforming into meteoric rain, painting the nine heavens and ten lands red.

In the heart of the ruins symbolizing the complete end of the old era, a solitary figure stood quietly.

Moonlight Immortal Ancestor's eyes were as calm as a deep pool, reflecting the apocalyptic end of the Immortal Path. The utterly stunning visage carried a hint of excessive pallor.

She slowly raised her head, her gaze calmly meeting Chu Zheng's eyes, devoid of fear, only filled with an understanding of destiny and a very slight weariness.

Her gaze passed over Chu Zheng, swept over the glaring Ancient Ancestors behind him, and finally rested on Hao Yan.

Hao Yan's eyes flickered, turning away to avoid her gaze.

Seeing this, Moonlight's eyelids slightly lowered, her mouth curled slightly, her gaze returning to the ruins of the Heavenly Fortune Immortal Tablet beneath her feet.

"The Heavenly Tablet is shattered, the Bloodline Chains of the thirteen clans are broken..."

Moonlight's voice was cold, like a spring filled with chill, flowing into Chu Zheng's ears: "Yet, the Immortal Path's Heavenly Destiny hasn't scattered."

As if to confirm her words, the vast Immortal Dao Heavenly Destiny Origin, which caused great turmoil in the void due to the tablet's breakage, did not disperse like a masterless item. Instead, under the forceful gathering of an invisible will, it rolled back like a receding flood.

In an instant, Moonlight's body swayed slightly, her original Heavenly Destiny being swept away, her aura plummeting, returning to the Half Ancestor Realm.

Already near the end of her life span, she couldn't withstand such a heavy blow. Her gaze dimmed instantly, her waterfall-like hair turning to snow in a moment.

The marks of time flooded in the instant the Heavenly Destiny left, eroding what little life essence she had left.

The knife of time began leaving its mark on her face, carved from immortal jade, her eyes filled with subtle wrinkles. Her cheeks seemed to lose their foundation, faintly sinking, revealing shadows beneath her cheekbones, her lips, once red as dawn, lost all color, now pale and dry.

Those clear, deep eyes, containing within them a Star River, were now shrouded with a layer of indelible gray soot, their luster quickly dimming, like a star about to extinguish.

The once jade-white skin on the back of her hand became loose, losing elasticity, with veins visible as pale blue trails beneath, like vines winding around dead branches, filled with a breath of decay.

Chu Zheng took a step forward, supporting the staggering figure of the Moonlight Immortal Ancestor.

In the same moment, the gathered vast Heavenly Destiny transformed into countless streams of extremely fine light, vanished beyond the barrier of the Great Immortal Realm, merging into the boundless Great Universe.

Chu Zheng's brow furrowed tightly, observing that the Heavenly Destiny hadn't dispersed but was cunningly and thoroughly hidden and dispersed by the Immortal Dao Heavenly Fate True Spirit.

It no longer concentrated within Moonlight alone, but dispersed and permeated into the bodies of billions of Immortal Path cultivators throughout the Great Universe.

Each living creature cultivating the Immortal Path, regardless of strength or location within any Star Domain, became a vessel for this fraction of the Heavenly Destiny.

Upon realizing this, Chu Zheng's pupils shrank; he instantly understood the intent behind the Immortal Dao Heavenly Fate True Spirit's action.

Undermining the resources from within, breaking them into pieces.

It knew Chu Zheng could slay Immortal Ancestors and devour Heavenly Destiny, but now it gambled on something Chu Zheng couldn't, and certainly wouldn't, do.

To kill every cultivator of the Immortal Path in the Great Universe.

That would be an unprecedented massacre, an act of total Dao annihilation! It would be a sin far more terrifying than the cleansing of the Chaos Sea before, a billion-fold nefariousness!

If Chu Zheng really did so, at least within the Great Universe, he would no longer be the Ancestral Dao who could stabilize both realms, but a butcher more terrifying than any demon.

He would stand completely opposed to all Taoist orthodoxy and every living being in the Great Universe.

Yet, if given enough time, the Immortal Dao Heavenly Destiny could even, by borrowing the Heavenly Destiny, emulate Ancient Times, creating a true Son of Heaven, using one-tenth, or even more of the Heavenly Destiny, to create a terrifying monster to disrupt the situation once more.

Chu Zheng's gaze fell upon Moonlight, who continued to stand there, bearing the counterattack of her life's nearing end and the Dao injuries from the collapse of her Immortal Path foundation.

She slightly tilted her head, gazing at the brilliant Suns scattering into the universe amid the fiery rain within the Great Immortal Realm sky, her eyes unnervingly calm.

"Your many confusions now can't be explained in this world; you are Chu Zheng, and naturally you can't become Zheng Chu, nor can you do what they want."

Moonlight gripped Chu Zheng's hand tightly, veins bulging on the back of her hand, her eyes calm as if piercing through time and space, transmitting her voice:

"Go to the Ancient Times, there you will find all the answers you seek."
