Qi Cultivation Starting from the Repair Panel

Zhao Tingxian's appearance in this place came as a complete surprise to Chu Zheng.

He didn't know whether the Chaos Sea was too small or if he and Zhao Tingxian were simply fated to meet.

The last time during his incarnation to survive tribulations in the Tianyao Federation, Chu Zheng remembered the words Zhao Tingxian had spoken to him.

Those few brief sentences contained an overwhelming amount of information, relating to his arrival in the Cangyun Realm more than a thousand years ago, as if someone had predicted it all.

Without Zhao Tingxian, even with the panel, Chu Zheng would have certainly not lived until now and might have been dealt with by the Immortal Alliance at birth.

The implication of this information was extremely terrifying.

That person had not only foreseen Chu Zheng's existence, but had even calculated over a thousand years ago that Zhao Tingxian would be able to take over the Cangyun Heavenly Way to pave the way for him.

You should know, at that time, Zhao Tingxian was merely a Divine Infant Cultivator.

To achieve the position of Immortal Venerable in a millennium, this exaggerated rate of advancement was beyond the imagination of the vast majority of Immortal Path Cultivators.

While Chu Zheng was deep in thought, a sudden loud noise came from outside the temple:

"Where is Daoist Venerable Zheng Chu?!"

Chu Zheng raised his eyes towards the sky, his brows slightly furrowed.

Above the vast sky stood a figure clad in a pitch-black robe, adorned with a myriad of stars and a bright moon.

This star, named 'Immortal Serpent', whose lord was one of the 360 Star Lords of the Divine Court, the Immortal Serpent Star Lord, was a genuine Incense Fire Deity of the Heavenly Venerate Realm, comparable to a True Immortal.

[Immortal Serpent Star Lord (Eighth Order): An avatar of the Incense Fire Deity of the Heavenly Venerate Realm, serves in the Divine Court, with countless devotees under his command.]

With a flash of Spiritual Light above the vast sky, the figure of the Rainbow Heaven Spirit Lord appeared, standing in front of the Immortal Serpent Star Lord, and immediately performed a great salute:

"Your subordinate greets you, Star Lord. I did not realize you were coming and am late, I hope the Star Lord will forgive me."

"Several of my Divine Statues have been shattered, related to this Myriad Treasures Taoist Monarch," said the Immortal Serpent Star Lord indifferently, his gaze falling on the temple, a trace of impatience flickering in his vertically slitted pupils.

Hearing this, the Rainbow Heaven Spirit Lord's face turned pale with shock: "There's been such an offensive act?"

Chu Zheng's side was tumultuous with Tribulation Qi, his gaze narrowing as he rose and strode out of the temple.

Since there had been no activity from this Rainbow Heaven Spirit Lord for a while, Chu Zheng was somewhat puzzled, and it turned out he was waiting here for him.

In the midst of combat, it was actually not uncommon to accidentally shatter other Deities' Divine Statues, which could be taken seriously or not.

If made into a big deal, it would be seen as a lack of respect for the Supreme Deity, scorn for the Divine Court; if considered a small matter, it would be seen as a misunderstanding, which under normal circumstances would be resolved by reconstructing the Divine Statue and compensating with some Incense as well.

However, with the presence of this Rainbow Heaven Spirit Lord, the issue wasn't that simple, being an underling of the Immortal Serpent Star Lord, it was no surprise that he seized the opportunity to intervene.

"Where is Daoist Venerable Zheng Chu?"n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

The Immortal Serpent Star Lord glanced at Chu Zheng, who had walked out from the temple, his tone slightly cold:

"I hear that previously when summoned to the Divine Court, he resisted in every way. Now that I am here personally, is he still so difficult to summon?"

"Star Lord, the Dao Lord is wandering beyond the heavens and has yet to return; he is still sleeping," replied Chu Zheng with a bow. "The matter of your Divine Statue being shattered is truly a misunderstanding, and I hope the Star Lord would allow us to make amends in some way."

The Immortal Serpent Star Lord's gaze sharpened, sweeping over the temple and quickly noting the lifelessness within the Golden Body, devoid of any fluctuation of the Soul, evidently unconscious.

"I can't be bothered to argue with such an unknown person," the Immortal Serpent Star Lord withdrew his gaze, sweeping over Chu Zheng. "Make a hundred Golden Bodies for me, with a million devotees offering ten years of Incense Fire, and let this matter rest. Any objections?"

The Venerable acts as a spokesman for the Deity, capable of making certain decisions on their behalf.

Chu Zheng fell into silence; setting aside the matter of a hundred Golden Bodies, just the million devotees offering ten years of Incense Fire was equivalent to directly taking away a million devotees.

Moreover, having one's devotees build other Deities' temples would cause irreversible harm to them.

All in all, it was as if Chu Zheng was inexplicably set to lose more than two million devotees, even possibly more.

The massive loss of Incense Fire Willpower would cause Chu Zheng's Incense Fire Divine Path Cultivation to fall, even affecting his true self.

His true self had only recently stepped into Divine Transformation and needed to stabilize for a period. Otherwise, he might face the risk of a fall in realm.

Furthermore, this was only the first tactic of the Rainbow Heaven Spirit Lord. Once his realm fell, the Rainbow Heaven Spirit Lord would surely make his next move.

A single step back could lead to constant retreat, and this incarnation to survive tribulations might prematurely end.

Chu Zheng didn't even consider it for a moment before rejecting the Immortal Serpent Star Lord's demands.

"This matter is of great importance, and I cannot make such decisions,"

After a moment's contemplation, Chu Zheng bowed his head and said, "Our Dao Lord wanders beyond the heavens because he heard that an old acquaintance entered the Divine Court, and went to meet them."

Upon hearing this, a trace of doubt flashed through the eyes of the Immortal Serpent Star Lord:

"Is it that Main God? The Yin Yang Xuan Ling Demonic Sanctioning Great Holy Celestial?"

He had some understanding of this suddenly emerged Daoist Venerable Zheng Chu, who, in a short period, became a Middle-Rank Spirit Lord. So much Spirit Stone resource, not even a Celestial Lord could bring out, yet this Dao Lord casually threw it out, he must have some background.

It must be said, this Daoist Venerable Zheng Chu shares some similarities with the Great Saint Heavenly Venerable, who also suddenly burst onto the scene.

That newly minted Main God, whose origins no one knew, appeared suddenly with several Life Stars, and was even personally ushered in by the Great Emperor.

It's not impossible that these two have some connection.

"Forgive me, I am not aware," Chu Zheng shook his head, his words couldn't be too blunt, otherwise it would be easily seen through.

After all, Zhao Tingxian didn't hold much goodwill towards him, one couldn't be too bold when pulling at another's coat-tails.
