Refining Qi starts from repairing the panel.

Chapter 270 Ancient Corpse
The entrance to the tomb is not on the ground, but suspended in the air.

A space crack was stretched open by a magic circle, more than two thousand feet long and wide, like an eye in the sky, stretching across the sky. It reflected a vast expanse of mountains and rivers in the color of glass, a small world.

There are many floating islands around the space rifts, with flags of various colors standing on them.

To open up a small world, one must have a certain understanding of the laws of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements. Chu Zheng has the Yin and Yang Immortal Bones and the Five Elements Spirit Body, so he is not restricted in this regard.

Immortal cultivators, once they step into the secret realm of immortal tribulation, can open up a world of cave heaven. Chu Zheng’s cultivation is already sufficient, but he has not yet started to try.

Opening up a small world requires a lot of resources, and the improvement of cultivation will also be subject to some limitations of the small world.

Once the small world is opened up, Chu Zheng will need to spend a lot of energy to improve the world's foundation. For him, this means one more thing to distract him, and his energy is limited.

With the support of the small world, the immortal cultivators will be able to enter a true inner cycle. Their dependence on heaven and earth will be greatly reduced, and their ability to continue fighting in the universe will undergo a qualitative change.

At the same time, the small world is also a means to enhance combat effectiveness. Burning the origin of the world in a short period of time can burst out with amazing power.

This is basically a last resort measure, which sacrifices the foundation of cultivation in exchange for temporary prosperity. No cultivator would be willing to use it unless it is a life-and-death situation.

The entrance to the curtain was surrounded by evil spirits and gloomy air. Even though the sun was high in the sky, it was still bone-chillingly cold.

This kind of environment was quite comfortable for Chu Zheng.

He turned around and took a look. Of the many creatures that had followed him at first, only a few were left. The rest had basically given up and no longer planned to attack him.

However, precisely because of this, the few auras that remained were all very difficult to deal with. They were at least fifth-level beings, and they were obviously quite confident in their own strength.

Chu Zheng opened his spiritual eyes and carefully looked at the space crack not far away, his brows gradually furrowed.

A strong yin energy surged at the entrance of the tomb and continued to overflow.

This is not just a big tomb. In this small world, there is definitely more than one unknown strong man buried there. Rather, it is a burial pit where countless lives have died to accumulate such a strong yin energy.

After hesitating for a moment, Chu Zheng stepped into the air and headed towards the entrance of the tomb.

Before he could get close, more than a dozen figures rose into the air from the floating islands in the sky and headed straight for him.

These figures have different auras. Humans only account for a quarter of them, and the rest are alien races. Their cultivation is mediocre, and the strongest is only at the third level. For the current Chu Zheng, they pose no threat at all.

Even so, Chu Zheng was still cautious and stopped.

"Senior, is this your first time here? Do you need a guide?"

"Here I have the latest map of the tomb, which can save you a hundred years of hard work. Do you want to buy a copy?"

"My map is the most detailed. You may want to take a look at mine first."

"This is the latest map drawn yesterday. It only takes two third-level spiritual herbs!"

"The tomb is filled with evil spirits and many evil things are bred there. Do you want to buy some talismans to protect yourself?"

More than ten figures gathered around and spoke one after another, explaining their purpose.

In an instant, Chu Zheng realized that this tomb had existed for too long, and the news had spread far and wide. Monks from all races would often come here to try their luck.

Many creatures have discovered business opportunities and are already making a living from them.

After a little consideration, Chu Zheng rejected the guide, took out some low-level magic weapons and weapons, and bought all the maps.

The more maps there are, the more they can verify each other, which is naturally better for him.

As for external objects such as talismans and magic weapons, Chu Zheng also excluded them because of their low quality.

Anyway, these evil creatures nurtured by the Yin energy are in a similar situation to him now, so maybe they can even be considered half of the same clan.

A moment later, Chu Zheng, who had completed the transaction, stepped into the space crack.

At the same time, there were no less than a hundred creatures entering and leaving the tomb, coming in and out in an endless stream.

This tomb is so famous that few people within a radius of thousands of miles know about it.

It is said that there was once a force that wanted to forcibly control this entrance to the tomb, and then demanded a toll from every creature who wanted to explore the tomb.

In Chu Zheng's opinion, this is a very good idea, but the prerequisite is that there must be sufficient strength to support it.

The final result was not surprising. He was attacked by everyone and nothing was done afterwards.

Since the day it was discovered, countless lives have died in this tomb.

In fact, quite a number of the monks who are still exploring the tomb are not coming for the tomb itself, but to search for the many legacies of the monks who died before.

This is also a pretty amazing fortune.

The moment you crossed the space crack, a strong yin energy came over you.

Chu Zheng's aura suddenly became smooth, and his fake form was torn apart. His hair, which was glowing with a rich purple light, stretched out, and his bone wings were fully expanded, spanning more than ten feet.

For him, this kind of environment was like a dragon entering the water, it couldn't be more comfortable.

The faces of several cultivators who followed Chu Zheng into the space rift suddenly changed, and they looked surprised and suspicious, and stopped unconsciously.

They discovered Chu Zheng was surrounded by evil spirit early in the morning, but they did not expect that it was actually a flying corpse.

The intelligence of Yin corpses is extremely low. Even for flying corpses, their intelligence is at most equivalent to that of a five or six-year-old child.

Moreover, even flying corpses are disgusted by sunlight. Although they will not be harmed by the sun, they do not like to move around in the daytime.

As this Yin corpse walked along, its intelligence was obviously no different from that of an ordinary human being, and it was not afraid of the sun at all. All of its behaviors were too abnormal.

The most likely explanation is that the cultivation level of this Yin corpse is far more than what it appears to be.

Anything abnormal is a sign of evil. Several cultivators gave up their previous plans at the same time and stopped following Chu Zheng.

Most of the Yin corpses act alone, without any sect support behind them. I don't think they have much wealth, so it's not worth taking the risk.

Chu Zheng turned around and took a look, then retracted his gaze. These guys still had some rationality, otherwise there would have been another killing spree today.

He came to explore the tomb in search of opportunities and to collect fragments of high-level spiritual objects. He did not want to cause any disputes. The current situation was exactly what he wanted.

The sky above the small world is also different from the outside world. The sun and the moon are parallel, and the sunlight is dim, faintly suppressed by the moonlight.

This is something that is absolutely impossible to happen in the universe, which means that in this world before us, the yin and yang energies have already lost balance.

If this situation continues, the Yang energy will one day be completely devoured, the sun will go out, and this world will become a paradise for evil spirits and ghosts.

Chu Zheng took out all the maps he had purchased before, compared them one by one, and confirmed his location.

This large tomb is shaped like a mountain, with four mountain gates inside and outside. The outermost one has the largest area, and the further you go in, the heavier the yin energy becomes. In the nearly ten thousand years of exploration, cultivators of various races have only opened two mountain gates. The third and fourth mountain gates at the core have never been set foot on by anyone.

The third major level was once entered by an eighth-rank warrior, but after going less than two thousand miles, he encountered a corpse king. After a fierce battle, he was severely injured and had no choice but to turn back.

According to him, there are far more than one corpse king within the second mountain pass. Even the owner of this tomb may have become a Yin corpse after being nourished by the Yin energy for many years.

Under such circumstances, naturally few people dare to go beyond the line.

The strong men who have entered the ninth level or even higher realms do not seem to be interested in this place, and have never heard of the existence of such a realm coming here.

Chu Zheng’s goal is at least the third mountain pass.

The existence of an eighth-level ancient corpse proves that in that area, there must be fragments of treasures comparable to those of true immortals. For him, their value is unquestionable.

In this small world, there are many spiritual mines, and those that have been discovered have basically been occupied by various forces.

However, there are no rules in this world. Bloody conflicts often occur and the spiritual mines change hands several times, which is normal here.

Chu Zheng followed the direction marked on the map and began to circle around the outermost area.

There should be quite a few ancient fragments in this area, and he has plenty of time, so there is no need to rush.

In order to avoid some troubles, he did not pass through the air in a high-profile manner. Instead, he relied on the method of earth escape to travel through the earth, while emitting weak divine thoughts to sense some buried fragments of ancient artifacts.

The Yin Qi underground was even more intense, mixed with the unique spiritual energy of the earth, making Chu Zheng feel even more comfortable.

Yin corpses originally come from the earth and have a natural affinity for earth-related essence and Qi.

In the blink of an eye, several days have passed.

Traveling beneath the earth, Chu Zheng collected many fragments of ancient objects, mostly magic weapons and war weapons, as well as some talisman fragments and some strange and bizarre remains of ornaments.

The qualities vary, but they are not ordinary things, at least above the second level, and there are quite a few of them that are the sixth or even seventh level.

Chu Zheng was not picky about these and accepted them all, thinking they could be used in the future.

Chu Zheng, who was walking under the ground, suddenly heard an unusual crisp sound.

The next moment, he entered a slightly slippery and muddy corridor. The corridor was filled with an atmosphere that Chu Zheng was very familiar with.

There were several shriveled corpses scattered around in front and behind the corridor. They all died of drying up their blood. They were wearing different clothes, and some of them were obviously alien species.

thump—

A dull loud noise was heard, and a black shadow swooped over and pressed Chu Zheng to the side of the corridor.

The tunnel collapsed inward instantly, and the remaining tremendous force knocked Chu Zheng thousands of feet away, and forcibly carved out another tunnel.

A sturdy arm covered with purple hair clamped down on Chu Zheng's neck, and a pair of bloodshot eyes were filled with deadly murderous intent.

There is no doubt that this is an ancient corpse, whose cultivation level is very similar to Chu Zheng's, or even better.

Chu Zheng's eyes narrowed slightly, and without any hesitation, he took out the Hanling ruler and smashed it heavily on the head of the ancient corpse.

puff!
The head, which was stronger than ordinary magic weapons, exploded instantly, black blood splattered, and the weak soul born from it was also completely destroyed in an instant.

One encounter and the zombie was killed.

The power of the seventh-rank treasure exploded instantly underground, breaking through to the surface, and causing tremendous waves of earth. Dust and smoke rolled up thousands of feet high, covering an area of ​​thousands of miles. There was a ground earthquake, as if a dragon was turning over. The movement was extremely terrifying.

After dealing with this ancient corpse, Chu Zheng couldn't help but frown.

After the calamity energy was gone from his side, his spiritual perception seemed to have weakened a lot. He could no longer predict whether he would be good or bad. Only when he faced the enemy did he realize that he was feeling quite uncomfortable.

He just reacted the moment the ancient corpse pounced out. If the ancient corpse's strength was not comparable to his, he would have been in great danger.

After coming to his senses, Chu Zheng carried the remains of the ancient corpse, stepped onto the ground, and left the vicinity first.

Such a big commotion would definitely attract the attention of many creatures.

After walking about ten thousand miles, Chu Zheng stopped on a plain, then dived underground again and opened up a temporary cave in a few steps.

He could vaguely sense that there was something beneficial to him on this ancient corpse.

After studying it for a while, Chu Zheng suddenly realized something. He raised his hand and turned it into a knife, breaking open the ancient corpse's Dantian and digging out a Yin Dan.

This is the essence of the ancient corpse's cultivation, comparable to the golden elixir of a Qi cultivator.

At the same time, there is still residual corpse qi on the remains of this ancient corpse, which is also a great tonic for Chu Zheng.

If it were placed in front of an ordinary corpse, even if they saw it, they would not be able to absorb it. But Chu Zheng was different. He possessed the method of breathing Qi, so it was not difficult for him to extract the corpse Qi contained in the remains of the ancient corpse.

Chu Zheng extracted the corpse qi in a few strokes, and then swallowed it together with the Yin Dan. Soon he felt his cultivation level soaring, rapidly approaching the sixth level.

After digesting it for several days, Chu Zheng finally refined all the Yin Dan and corpse qi, and his cultivation level was further improved, entering the sixth level.

The whole body is filled with purple, without a trace of other colors.

It was obvious that he had come to the right place, as not only these fragments but also these ancient corpses were an opportunity for him.

Chu Zheng stood up contentedly and sent out his spiritual thoughts.

After a moment, his expression suddenly changed slightly, and he raised his eyes and looked towards a corner of the plain.

The bone wings spread out, and the next moment, he crossed thousands of miles and came to a ruined temple.

The temple had obviously been around for a long time and was almost completely decayed.

On the plaque in front of the door were five large gold-plated characters. They were already mottled and slightly blackened, but the words could still be seen.

'Jeongchu Dojun Shrine'

Looking at the dilapidated temple in front of him, Chu Zheng's scalp suddenly felt tingling.

How can this be? !
Zhengchu Daojun, this was clearly a Daoist name he picked randomly, how could there be a similar temple here? !

He suddenly pushed the door open and stepped into the temple. On the three-foot-high altar, the statue was preserved as before and had not been damaged.

The statue is wearing a yin-yang Taoist robe, and its face is exactly the same as Chu Zheng's original body, without any difference.

In an instant, the chill in Chu Zheng's heart spread to his bones, which was indescribable.
