Refining Qi starts from repairing the panel

The smell of dilapidation and decay permeated the Dao Palace, and the green bricks underfoot were full of cracks.

Chu Zheng took a deep breath and carefully looked through the entire Taoist palace.

After a while, he stopped, not finding anything that could be repaired.

Everything is irreparable, as if all traces left before have been erased.

Under the broken plaque, Chu Zheng sat on the broken stone steps, looking at the red clouds in the sky, lost in thought.

The restored statue of Dao Ancestor looks so similar to his appearance, and the newly restored Dao Palace has returned to its original appearance.

All this is shrouded in a cloud of mystery, making it difficult to see clearly.

After a long time, Chu Zheng gathered his thoughts and began to sort out the complicated information in his mind.

Although the Treasure Record of the Eternal True Tribulation is a tenth-level exercise, it does not contain much content about the route of the exercise.

The previous stages are also about a hundred days of spiritual transformation, forging jade bones, building Tao embryos, molding golden elixirs, refining the soul, returning to the void, and combining the Tao.

After being united with the Tao, one becomes a heavenly being.

The method of refining Qi that was recorded in the early stage of the Eternal True Tribulation Treasure, and the way it circulates the heavens, is not much better than the general outline of the Great Zhou Tian Qi Movement. It can even be said to be very similar, with only some minor adjustments.

After he became an immortal, there was no specific method of practice in the Eternal True Tribulation Treasure Record, only the route of Qi refining had some changes.

But overall, it is still Qi refining method and has not changed much.

This is just like what Ji Yuyan said to him at the beginning. After becoming a master of Qi, there is no specific path to practice and he can only rely on accumulating cultivation through many calamities.

The Heavenly Immortal for a Hundred Tribulations, the Mysterious Immortal for Ten Thousand Tribulations, and the Golden Immortal for Millions of Tribulations.

After hundreds of millions of kalpas, he will be immortal, steal the heavens and live long, escape from the heavens and act recklessly, and then he will become the Great Luo Golden Immortal.

The incredible thing about the Treasure Record of Eternal True Tribulation lies precisely in this method of calamity.

The path of cultivation of Qi Masters involves great calamities everywhere. No matter how strong your cultivation is or how careful you are, you cannot guarantee that you will be able to avoid danger every time.

Therefore, most Qi practitioners rarely die a good death, and it is almost a rare blessing to be able to live safely until the end of their lives.

Especially after joining the Dao and entering the realm of immortals, the tribulation energy will surge exponentially, and it will be difficult to survive it with one's own strength.

Most of the Qi Refiners are small in number, with only two or three disciples in one lineage. It is even more unrealistic to rely on the strength of the master's sect to avoid disaster.

Moreover, there is a clear reminder in the Treasure Record of the True Tribulation of Eternity that no matter how difficult the calamity is, external forces cannot be used to graft cause and effect.

Relying on external forces to avoid disasters and hoping for the will of heaven will only result in an even more terrifying death disaster.

Like the previous Chu Zheng, using Fu Quanliang's name to cover up his own tracks was the most direct grafting cause and effect in the judgment of Heaven.

When refining Qi, although there is no thunder disaster, man-made disasters that cannot be prevented are often more difficult to avoid than natural punishments.

It is precisely for this point that the Treasure Record of True Tribulation of Eternity created the method of incarnating oneself into the world and experiencing calamity.

Use your empty body to experience real tribulations and eliminate your own terrifying tribulation energy.

To exchange the fake for the real, to hide it from the eyes of Heaven, is naturally not as simple as talking.

There is also a lot of risk in this. The cause and effect line pulled by the incarnation will not disappear after the incarnation is dispersed, and it is very likely to implicate the main body in the future.

Therefore, the place of incarnation and calamity must be far enough away from the original body, far enough to be able to use the power of time to dissolve the lines of cause and effect.

This is not difficult for Chu Zheng to understand, just like the starlight transmitted from the universe.

When the starlight reaches his location, the stars that emit light may have ceased to exist thousands of years ago.

In the far span of the universe, time will be gradually stretched by distance, and even time will be directly defeated by distance. No matter how strong the cause and effect is, it will cease to exist after all the creatures on the other end of the cause and effect line die.

For this reason, in addition to the method of moving qi, the treasure record of eternal true tribulations also contains an extremely magical secret technique called 'gazing at the stars and catching the sky'.

Observe the signs of stars in the sky, catch the opportunity of heaven, use the starlight to identify the breath of heaven, go retrograde, and throw yourself into the incarnation and calamity.

Most of the starlights carry the aura of their respective heavens, but in the world that has been extinguished, there is no aura of heaven.

Distinguishing the specific state of the world behind them from the starlight in the sky is the meaning of the great magical power of stargazing and sky-gazing.

For the Qi Refiners, this is undoubtedly an extremely precious method that can last through calamities, no less than saving countless lives.

However, launching the incarnation calamity requires the support of an extremely powerful soul. At least, you need to wait until Chu Zheng's concentration is complete, or even step into the divine infant before you can start trying.

This is still a long way from Chu Zheng's current cultivation level, but according to his current cultivation progress, this distance is not too far.

In addition to observing the stars and catching the sky, the Treasure Book of Eternal True Tribulation also contains many great magical powers, such as 'Three Heads and Six Arms', 'Sky Mending Technique', 'Swallowing Stars', 'Reversal of Cause and Effect' and so on.

Most of them require at least the cultivation level of a heavenly being to start practicing, which is really far away for Chu Zheng.

After roughly digesting the contents of the Eternal True Tribulation Treasure Record, Chu Zheng turned around and glanced at the Dao Palace, and left without staying too long.

There is no point in thinking about unsolvable puzzles and it is just a waste of time.

The amount of information he has is too small to allow him to analyze something he can possess.

When he has cultivated enough and reached the realm of Dao Ancestor, perhaps the current problems will no longer be called problems by then.

The time he could stay in the Cangyun Secret Realm was three full months, and only half of it had passed. In this world, there were still a large number of treasures waiting for Chu Zheng to dig.

Now that he was free from the constraints of the Dao Palace, he was able to explore the outside world again. He was not only interested in the opportunities of the immortal way, but also in the areas where other Taoist traditions were passed down.

This might help him uncover a layer of the ancient times of Cangyun, allowing him to see part of its true appearance.

He might even be able to find some clues about the birth of this secret realm.

After leaving the Dao Palace, Chu Zheng took out the Cangyun Secret Realm map and began to study the route.

Soon, he made a decision and headed north to explore the central area of ​​the map.

There was no mist blocking the way, and the three-color areas could be clearly seen.

The closer to the central area, the safer the environment, which meant that there was not much danger for him.

Chu Zheng was naturally curious about the areas he had never explored, but sometimes restraining unnecessary curiosity could save a lot of trouble.

After this departure, he may not have the opportunity to enter the Cangyun Secret Realm again in his life. The opportunity is rare, so he must seize it.

In the blink of an eye, half a month has passed. Chu Zheng went north and explored more than a million miles, seeing countless scenery along the way.

Most of the areas marked with golden light are the ruins of the sect and the caves of some independent cultivators.

For ordinary cultivators, going to these explored areas is undoubtedly a waste of time and will not yield any gains.

But Chu Zheng has gained a lot and gained a lot of heritage. Among them, the largest proportion is undoubtedly the magic weapons and elixirs that have lost all their spiritual energy.

During this period, Chu Zheng also experienced a lot of regrets.

The only disadvantage of picking up rags is that most of the real good things have been taken away.

For example, when passing through an underground palace, he saw a sword-raising pool. According to the information on the panel, a set of sword formations were raised in it, and the seven flying swords were Tongxuan Lingbao.

When the sect was destroyed, the spirit sword had not yet been cultivated, so it was left in the sword-raising pool. After hundreds of thousands of years of nurturing, it was able to survive to this day, but was taken away tens of thousands of years ago.

In addition, Chu Zheng also found a still warm alchemy furnace in the alchemy hall of a sect.

Several semi-immortal pills were left in the alchemy furnace, and survived to this day by absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

The elixir was touched with the word "immortal", so it was extraordinary. Like the Tongxuan Lingbao, the immortal pill was born with nine orifices, which could absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to maintain its own survival.

These seven-level immortal pills were taken away thousands of years ago, and the furnace is still warm.

It's a pity that the alchemy furnace is not a spiritual treasure. It is not far from the Fengyang Ding that Chu Zheng had obtained before, and it is only one step away from the Tongxuan Lingbao.

This one step away, for a magic weapon, is the difference between life and death.

Chu Zheng also found a complete treasure house, the spiritual array was still running, and the protection was extremely strong. It was not easy for a cultivator who had reached the perfect state of soul condensation to force it open. It would take at least several months.

In response, Chu Zheng directly summoned the Tiangang Sword, cast the Five Elements Sword Array, and began to demolish it.

After he spent a whole day and night, he opened the treasure house with great expectations, but found that it had been swept away and the ground was in a mess.

On the wall of the treasure house, there were several lines of big characters, with sharp strokes:

'Fellow Daoist, please don't blame me. I repaired the magic array here. I wasted some of your time. Remember to repair the magic array when you leave, and leave it for the later generations - Tu Zilin. '

Looking at the handwriting on the ground, Chu Zheng raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows. The world is really big, and there are all kinds of things. How could there be such a boring person.

If an ordinary cultivator came here, it would take a lot of time to break this magic array. Seeing this line of words, I am afraid that his Taoism would be unstable.

Chu Zheng went around the entire treasure house, and finally only found some pills with depleted spiritual energy.

Before leaving the treasure house, he raised his hand and touched the magic circle at the entrance.

[Hidden Spirit Array (Level 4/Incomplete): A defensive magic circle that can isolate divine thoughts and block Level 4 creatures for half a day. If you force it through, it can be repaired (0/18) (Details)]

It would take half a day for a powerful person in the Divine Infant Realm to break this array. There must have been cultivators who discovered this treasure house before, but gave up for various reasons.

It is undoubtedly not worth the loss to spend a lot of time for such a place.

Chu Zheng was too lazy to even click on the detailed information, and he directly repaired the magic circle completely and left slowly.

Although he missed many treasures, after many episodes, Chu Zheng finally found two rare treasures.

A fragment of an immortal treasure and a real immortal pill residue.
