Qi Cultivation Starting from the Repair Panel

Doing something that's all harm and no good, no one would be willing to undertake it.

The master of this Great Tomb had already reached an extremely high realm while alive, and then he spent his heart blood to construct this Great Tomb, attempting to return to life after his lifespan had ended, to progress even further.

The realm of Ancient Myths, second only to the ancestors of the various paths, as far as Chu Zheng knew, was even stronger than the Qi Refining Golden Immortals, on par with the Immortal Emperor, and could be called the pinnacle within the Universe.

Such a figure, Chu Zheng had not yet encountered.

"Come with me."

Jian Shier didn't pay any attention to the skeleton that Chu Zheng had collected. He lifted his finger to open a spatial passageway and slowly stepped into it.

Chu Zheng followed closely behind, and after crossing the spatial passageway, they arrived in front of a Green Stone gate.

Above the palace was a dome transformed from rock walls, evidently an Underground Palace.

The surrounding Yin Qi was more than ten times denser than the valley before, surely closer to the depths of the Great Tomb.

The construction of the Underground Palace dated back many years, and everywhere the eye could see were traces left by the passage of time.

As his own lifespan extended, these historical traces left by the years were gradually fading in the eyes of Chu Zheng.

The entire Great Universe had endless ancient histories to explore, and he no longer had the energy to investigate each one.

Moreover, as his Cultivation rose, the history of these things might not even be longer than the span of time he himself had lived.

Such information was gradually losing value in his eyes.

Chu Zheng certainly noticed this gradual change in mentality, which was only natural as humans are highly adaptive creatures, influenced by their environment and many experiences.

To him, this was a good thing; at the very least, it meant he'd grown somewhat.

The entire Great Universe was constantly changing, Heavenly Fate continually shifting, creating generation after generation of heroes and sages.

That which does not change struggles to endure; the same is true for people. Those who live on the past and do not strive for progress, do not live long.

Jian Shier glanced at Chu Zheng and, seeing that he was silent, thought him shocked by the dense Yin Qi of this place.

"This place is at the edge of the First Mountain Pass. Going further down is the resting tomb of the Taoist Master, the ultimate land of Yin."

Having casually spoken these words, Jian Shier pushed open the gate, revealing a dark palace corridor adorned with relief sculptures of all kinds of Otherkind.

Boom—

A gentle breeze of Yin wind brushed his face, making Chu Zheng feel refreshed all over; his golden hair unconsciously stretched out, and his body relaxed.

Jian Shier strode forward, slowly walking toward the depths of the Underground Palace.

Chu Zheng stepped through the palace gate, observing the reliefs on the walls of the corridor, and ventured to ask,

"Senior, do you still remember your memories from when you were alive?"

Since he wasn't a true Yin Corpse, he couldn't help but be curious about these beings who had died and come back to life.

"There are some fragmented memories, but they are like flowers in water, the moon in a mirror. I look upon them with a tranquil heart, without any ripples of emotion; you must feel the same."

At this point, Jian Shier's tone carried a hint of advice:

"The past is cut off. Now that you have been reborn, do not dwell on the cause and effect of the former life to waste your spirit. It's not worth it."

Hearing this, Chu Zheng pulled back his gaze, speaking with pointed meaning: "If the past is severed, after the Taoist Master is resurrected, will he still remember you, senior?"

After Chu Zheng's words fell, there was a moment of silence from Jian Shier, before he finally spoke:

"The Taoist Master is different."

Chu Zheng did not press further on this point and shifted the topic: "Senior, how long has this Great Tomb existed?"

"Forty-three million nine hundred and ninety-seven thousand years and more."

This time, Jian Shier answered very quickly.

"Senior has been in this place for so long?!"

Hearing this, Chu Zheng was startled, somewhat in disbelief that Jian Shier was essentially a living fossil that had survived for tens of millions of years.

The existence of this Great Tomb had also far exceeded his expectations.

Therefore, looking at it this way, the Taoist Temple he had seen might have been around for much longer than he had thought.

"Not exactly, I have revived for only over three million years."

Jian Shier shook his head, "Many of the things I have told you were also heard from the predecessor before me, and I have never seen the Taoist Master with my own eyes."

Having said this, without waiting for Chu Zheng to ask, he went on to explain:

"When the Great Tomb lacks the Blood Qi of living creatures, it will open its entrance for a period, attracting living beings to enter in search of treasure. It usually lasts for about ten thousand years before it reseals itself. I must have entered during one such opening before my demise."

"I see."

Chu Zheng murmured softly, a hint of realization flashing in his eyes. In this way, it made sense that the more ancient Spiritual Medicines would have been picked by those who came before.

Recalling the information about the Great Tomb, Chu Zheng suddenly felt a chill in his heart and hastily asked, "Senior, is the Great Tomb about to reseal itself again?"

The information he had obtained before was that the entrance to the Great Tomb had been open for around ten thousand years, so by that timeline, the resealing of the entrance was imminent.

Jian Shier calculated for a moment and nodded, "About right, another two or three hundred years and the entrance will close."

Upon hearing there were still two or three hundred years left, Chu Zheng's gaze sharpened. "Then at that time, those living creatures of various races remaining inside..."

"Naturally, they will all die, turning into nourishment for the Great Tomb and the Taoist Master. By then, I can also share a portion with you."

He spoke lightly, then stopped before a side hall, pushing the doors open:

"From now on, you'll Cultivate here. Inside the coffin, you'll find the Cultivation Method of the Yin Corpse lineage. If there's anything you don't understand, you can come to me."

Inside the grand hall, it was empty and vast, with Arrays set up to gather Yin Qi. Wisps of ghostly flames flickered in the air, and the ground was coated with a thick layer of pitch-black malevolent ice.

In the center lay a Blood Coffin, a deep purple red, with a thick scent of blood assaulting the senses.

Seeing that Jian Shier seemed to be leaving, Chu Zheng quickly spoke up:

"Previously, within the Second Mountain Pass around the perimeter of the Great Tomb, I saw a Taoist Temple enshrining a Deity referred to as 'Daoist Venerable Zheng Chu.' Senior, do you have any recollection of this?"

Jian Shier pondered for a while, then shook his head: "I have never heard of him, so it seems he is not a significant figure."

He had some understanding of Incense Spirituality. Deities at his own level could manifest divine anomalies through their Golden Bodies, and since no such Golden Bodies existed within this Great Tomb, it seemed this Dao Lord was nothing special.

"Thank you, Senior, for resolving my doubt."

Chu Zheng didn't press any further, bowed, and stepped into the hall.

As the hall doors slowly closed, Chu Zheng approached and opened the Blood Coffin and slowly lay down inside.

The Blood Coffin sealed once more, with blood-colored faint glimmers emerging from the walls of the coffin, lines of small characters appeared, and Chu Zheng glanced at them, instantly captivated.

This was the Cultivation Method of the Yin Corpse lineage.

After Crossing Tribulations and entering the realm of the Undecayed Bone, the Yin Corpse still had Five Great Tribulations, subtly in tune with the number of the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

With these Five Great Tribulations, Chu Zheng had every hope of raising his own Cultivation to an exceedingly high level.

Crossing Heavenly Tribulation was much more efficient than Entering the World and Experiencing Tribulations, by far.
