Qi Cultivation Starting from the Repair Panel

"From this day forward, you are Venerable."

After considering for a moment, Chu Zheng once again expended a large amount of his essence to bestow a divine blessing upon Yuan Dazun, forcibly elevating his cultivation to the Fourth Order.

Then, using the power of the spirit and soul as a medium, he imprinted a totem on Yuan Dazun's back.

The totem borrowed the power of Heaven and Earth. Many totems from the Dongyuan Realm might not work in this star domain, so for the sake of caution, Chu Zheng left a cloud-like Third Order totem on Yuan Dazun's back.

In any world, there are always clouds, it should have some effect more or less.

The moment the totem took shape, Chu Zheng immediately felt strands of spiritual energy flowing endlessly into Yuan Dazun's body.

"Thank you for the God's favor!"

Perceiving the changes in his cultivation and body, Yuan Dazun couldn't help but continuously bow down in ecstasy.

Gaining the position of Venerable meant that he had definitively separated himself from the many followers, obtaining authority over them, and with his enhanced strength, binding those followers was no longer a difficult task.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"Go pick some more followers," Chu Zheng instructed.

Just one sample wasn't enough to verify the totem's viability; he needed to create more totems and observe for decades or even a century to draw some conclusions. This was a path of cultivation, not something that could be implemented so easily.

The followers of the Divine Court were his main reliance for improving cultivation at present. Before the successful God Creation in the Dongyuan Realm, they were also a foundation that should not be carelessly abandoned.

Soon, Yuan Dazun picked out a hundred people for Chu Zheng.

Chu Zheng spent some time and expended a great deal of energy to complete the imprinting of the totems one by one.

As the first batch of cultivators in this starry sky to have totems inscribed, their future was filled with uncertainty.

Chu Zheng could not be sure whether this path was the right one, but for Yuan Dazun, without the totem and without the divine blessing, the First Order was already his limit.

At least now, their path of cultivation could extend further than before.

This summoning by Yuan Dazun's divine sense had given Chu Zheng some ideas. Perhaps through the Incense Fire Divine Path, he could create a secret treasure that would allow one to traverse the distances of the cosmic starry sky and communicate rapidly.

The speed of message transmission was too slow; sometimes, it could delay many matters.

How exactly to implement this still required further research, but it would have many uses in the future.

...

After dealing with the trivial matters of the Divine Court, Chu Zheng's deity incarnation once again fell into slumber, and his consciousness returned to the Dongyuan Realm.

This back and forth had taken some time, and several months had passed within the Dongyuan Realm.

Calculating the time, Chu Zheng didn't waste any more effort and headed directly back to the camp.

With the Divine Skill "Shrinking Earth into Inches" assisting him, his travel speed increased by dozens of times, and in less than a day, he had returned to the camp. Along the way, he also casually slew a few Fourth Order Savage Beasts.

At this moment, the camp was bustling with noise, warriors from various tribes had returned in droves, boasting of the blood-red battle achievements recorded on their totems, exchanging what they needed; many People of the Celestial Spirit Tribe were also mingled among them.

During the Great Beast Hunting Festival, the Heavenly Spirit Race did not send many tribesmen to participate. The population of the Celestial Spirit Race had always been limited and could not withstand too many losses.

Occasionally, some Celestial Spirit tribesmen participated just for the experience and did not intend to truly risk their lives.

Chu Zheng stepped into the camp, took a casual glance, and noticed many Rune Soldiers made from the smelting of spirit mines.

The Wan Clan had acted quickly; on this frontline battlefield, many warriors had already begun to understand the method of Weapon Refining with spirit mines.

Identifying the direction, Chu Zheng headed towards Wangshan Tribe's location.

Along the way, he heard many people mentioning his name, linked with the art of Weapon Refining; Wan Xu had not deceived him and had indeed spread his reputation.

Soon, he arrived near the dwellings of the Wangshan Tribe.

"Are you... Zheng Chu?"

Seeing Chu Zheng, Uncle Lie showed a somewhat incredulous expression. Due to the strengthening of his physique, Chu Zheng's figure had significantly changed, but his appearance had not altered much.

"Uncle Lie."

Chu Zheng greeted with a smile.

"Not right, how come I feel your Blood Qi..."

Uncle Lie realized something was amiss, staring at the powerful Blood Qi surging around Chu Zheng, his eyes revealing a hint of shock as he took a half-step back:

"How is this possible?! Are you nearing the Prime of Life?!..."

Uncle Lie's expression was somewhat bewildered, momentarily struggling to believe it. Before the Great Beast Hunting Festival, Zheng Chu's Blood Qi fluctuations were just at the beginning of adulthood, far from the perfection of that stage.

Now, Zheng Chu was not far from the Prime of Life, only a step behind the realm where Uncle Lie stood.

This rate of growth was indeed astonishing. How much would one have to consume daily to grow so much flesh in such a short time? It certainly seemed more like a freak of nature.

"I hunted a few Savage Beasts at the Perfection of their Prime recently, which increased my Qi Strength a bit,"

Chu Zheng said with a smile, not offering too much of an explanation. He could roughly understand why Uncle Lie's reaction was so exaggerated.

The Prime of Life corresponds to the Third to Fourth Order, and after swallowing the flesh and essence of several hundred Savage Beasts, his physical strength had indeed reached the level of the Fourth Order.

Being only one level below Uncle Lie, it was certainly difficult for him to accept and could even be deemed horrifying.

Chu Zheng took out some of the Savage Beast materials from his Storage Bag and placed them neatly, then walked around the camp to ensure nothing was amiss before returning to his base.
