Qi Cultivation Starting from the Repair Panel

Chapter 498: Method of Escape (Part 2)



[Please, Brother Yun, save me.]

There was no complete certainty for Chu Zheng whether Yun Tianji would help, but he decided to try.

After sending the message, the Quiet Room fell silent once more.

Several hours later, a figure appeared at the door of the Quiet Room; it was Yun Tianji, still dressed in that brocade robe stained with Ancestor Blood.

"Open the door."

He glanced at the two guards at the door and spoke softly.

The two guards bowed their heads in respect, not daring to obstruct in the slightest, and turned to open the door.

Xu Menghan and others might look down on Yun Tianji, see him as a useless burden, but that didn't mean they could.

After all, he was a prominent figure from the Upper Realm, capable of deciding their life or death with a single word.

"Thank you."

Yun Tianji nodded in gratitude, walked straight into the Quiet Room, and stood before Chu Zheng and Xue Qing. He glanced at Chu Zheng and chuckled softly:

"You are quite bold."

Chu Zheng opened his eyes, his expression calm: "I truly have no choice."

Yun Tianji's lips curled slightly, and in a raspy voice, he said: "Xu Menghan, from an early age, has always been eccentric and unruly, never inclined to form close relationships, much less heartfelt bonds. This time, descending to the Lower Realm isn't for sightseeing. Being targeted by him, you two are in big trouble."

"Half of the Heavenly Destiny Origin of the Xu Family was forcibly taken, now leaving only half on the Xu Heavenly Son. But since the Son hasn't joined the Ancestors, the clan's resources have been further squeezed by powerful enemies. It's not like it used to be—the clan treasury is empty, internal strife and backstabbing are rampant, not as glorious as before. The situation is very bad."

"Xu Menghan is here to gather people to work for him, seize the remaining resources and opportunities in the future, perhaps even to die for him."

At this point, Yun Tianji was silent for a moment, then suddenly a smile spread across his face. That smile was filled with undisguised, nearly twisted malice:

"However..."

He looked at Chu Zheng, his eyes flickering with mad and gleeful flames: "This time, I can help you, but not for you two."

"Only to... disgust him."

"I want to see, after all his scheming, even stooping to recruit people, what will happen under his nose. What will that always superior face of his become? That... would be quite interesting."

The low and suppressed laughter echoed within the Quiet Room, sending chills down the spine.

In the next moment, the laughter abruptly stopped.

The malice in Yun Tianji's eyes remained as he suddenly raised his hand, slicing through the void.

Buzz—

Two enormous green Jade Basins appeared out of nowhere, landing heavily with a dull thud.

The Jade Basins were crystal clear, exuding a subtle warmth.

Immediately, Yun Tianji turned his hand to retrieve an ancient Jade Gourd, uncorking it, releasing a vibrant emerald Spiritual Liquid that poured out in a cascade, quickly filling the two Jade Basins.

As he moved, Yun Tianji spoke in a deep voice:

"Xu Menghan is not easy to fool. Even if you leave now, escaping future pursuit is difficult. If you want a clean break, only a fake death escape will work."

The Spiritual Liquid exuded the pure scent and light of life, rapidly filling the Jade Basins.

"Get in."

"What is this for?" Xue Qing asked, her expression puzzled.

"This Spiritual Liquid, named Creation Heavenly Dew, can repair all bodily damage, even regenerate severed limbs. Entering it is nothing."

"After entering, bleed." Yun Tianji explained succinctly: "Release the most refined Essence Blood in you, then shed some flesh. I will reshape two bodies from it."

"This is the key to deceiving Xu Menghan and your golden cicada escape."

Xue Qing looked at Chu Zheng, her expression filled with some hesitance.

The Essence Blood of a Cultivator is tied to the essence of life. Extracting a large amount of it could severely deplete Yuan Qi, harm the foundation, or even endanger life.

Chu Zheng's body looked quite frail, uncertain if he could withstand it.

Chu Zheng showed no hesitation, stepping into the Jade Basin, sitting cross-legged in the waist-deep Spiritual Liquid, slitting his wrist to begin bleeding.

The emerald Spiritual Liquid was soon stained with blood.

Seeing this, Xue Qing said no more and stepped into the Jade Basin.

Essence Blood gushed forth, merging into the Spiritual Liquid, gradually intertwining. The liquid in the Jade Basin quickly turned viscous, like blood jelly, emanating an eerie yet powerful vitality.

Standing beside the Jade Basin, Yun Tianji raised his hand, sketching Spiritual Patterns in the air.

As the Spiritual Patterns merged, the blood jelly in the basin began to wriggle and contract slowly, gradually solidifying.

The outline of bones, the phantom of internal organs, and the texture of muscles appeared in the thick, blood-colored liquid, becoming clear and tangible.

A life force completely identical to Chu Zheng and Xue Qing's main bodies was slowly emerging from these wriggling masses of flesh and blood, growing stronger.

They were absorbing the vast vitality contained in the Jade Basin and the Essence Blood origin, growing like greedy embryos in a womb.

This was the key to the blood and flesh false body, to deceive the heavens and cross the sea.

Several hours silently passed.

When the two newly formed bodies in the jade basin had grown complete skeletons and were covered with wriggling flesh, Yun Tianji spoke in a deep voice:

"That's enough."

He raised his hand and pulled, forcing Chu Zheng and Xue Qing out of the thick plasma.

As they hit the ground, their vision turned black simultaneously, almost exhausted, collapsing on the floor.

Chu Zheng panted heavily, his breath weakened to the extreme point, Xue Qing's condition was slightly better, but her complexion was pale as gold paper.

While lying on the ground, their gaze was involuntarily drawn to the two jade basins.

The viscous plasma of spiritual liquid in the basin had become thin and dim, losing most of its vitality.

At the bottom of the basin, two bodies molded from their essence blood and vitality were quietly lying in the pool of blood, with white bones, covered in tender, wriggling flesh, the outline of internal organs faintly pulsing beneath a thin membrane, their facial features beginning to take shape.

Though not fully grown, the life aura they emitted was exactly the same as their main bodies.

"This Creation Heavenly Dew was left to me by Grandpa, it should be used sparingly, this should suffice, after all, Xu Menghan doesn't recognize people by their faces."

"You two leave first."

Yun Tianji's tone was cold, with a hint of impatient urging:

"I'll handle what's left."

As he spoke, he turned his hand to take out a jade talisman, the entire piece gray-white, covered with fine natural patterns like the trajectories of stars, emitting a faint yet extremely stable spatial fluctuation.

Yun Tianji casually tossed the jade talisman to the two, speaking blandly:

"This Void Escape Talisman can ignore ordinary spatial restraints, instantly transporting you millions of miles away, randomly tracing, untraceable, find a secluded place to hide for a while."

"At least... do not move freely within a hundred years, or today's effort will be in vain."

"Thank you, Brother Yun, for your great kindness today, Zheng Chu will surely repay it in the future."

With Xue Qing's help, Chu Zheng stood up, cupping his hands in salute.

After contemplating for a few moments, he turned his hand to take out the Mystic Sun True Understanding, along with a storage ring.

Inside the ring was one hundred million Top Quality Spiritual Stones.

Then, he spoke no further, crushed the Void Escape Talisman.

A gentle space power instantly enveloped him and Xue Qing, a gray-white light shone, space twisted violently like water waves.

The surrounding array's barrier was penetrated by the light in an instant.

In a brief moment, the light faded away, leaving the Quiet Room in dead silence. Only Yun Tianji remained, and the two fake bodies enveloped in flesh inside the jade basin.

Yun Tianji pondered briefly, glanced at the Mystic Sun True Understanding without touching it, took the storage ring aside, then raised his hand to retrieve the jade basin.

Swish—

The blood corpses fell to the ground, instantly creating a mess of bloodstains.

Boom!

A cluster of spiritual fire ignited from Yun Tianji's palm, fell onto the two blood corpses, instantly scorching the still-wet bloodstains.

The fire went out, leaving only two corpses with charred surfaces, soaked in coagulated blood clots, and the room filled with a more intense, charred mix of bloody stench.

......

......

The next day.

Buzz—

The array slowly opened, and Xu Menghan stepped into the Quiet Room, the gentle smile on her face froze instantly upon seeing the scene within.

The aura of those two corpses on the ground, she had just noted it recently, it couldn't be mistaken.

Her green robe fluttered without wind around her, her aura no longer calm, but extremely dangerous, filled with violence, like an Ancient Fierce Beast's scarlet eyes opening.

Xu Menghan's gaze, like two poisoned ice spikes, fiercely stabbed at the only standing figure in the Quiet Room, Yun Tianji standing at the edge of the pool of blood.

"Yun—Tian—Ji—!"

These three words were practically squeezed out from between her tightly clenched teeth, each word containing boundless fury and disbelief.

Her expression slightly twisted with extreme anger, the gentle smile long gone, leaving only a bone-chilling murderous intent.

"What? Want to kill me?" Yun Tianji sneered.

"I have Grandpa's dying wish as my protection, do you dare to kill me?!"

A trace of madness flashed in Yun Tianji's eyes, his voice suddenly rising:

"I'm right here, if you have the guts, make your move!"

Xu Menghan remained silent.

Grandpa's dying command forbids any harm to Tianji, violators would face the collective wrath of the entire clan.

If she were to kill Yun Tianji today, by tomorrow the Xu Heavenly Son would issue a decree to take her life.

Yun Tianji, she could not touch him.
