Qi Cultivation Starting from the Repair Panel

The Great Beast Hunting Festival, the most solemn festival of the Dongyuan Human Clan, was held only after the cold tide.

It was led by the three major clans' alliance, assembling elites from various tribes, each dividing their own hunting grounds, and launching a slaughter on the savage beasts.

First, it celebrated the tribe's survival through the cold tide; second, it was in retaliation for the savage beasts' attacks during the cold tide.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Within the cold tide, tribes destroyed by the claws and fangs of savage beasts were not few in number.

Most crucially, after the cold tide, was the breeding season for many savage beasts; hunting one at this time was worth more than ten before the tide.

For the ever-increasing number of savage beasts, this was an unmissable opportunity for battle, inevitably resulting in many deaths and injuries.

The Great Beast Hunting Festival, led by powerful tribes, offered many rewards — Rune Soldiers, Spiritual Medicine, and the flesh of powerful savage beasts, as well as intermarriage and alliances between the tribes.

This was also essentially a matchmaking congress for the entire Dongyuan Human Clan every dozen years or so, indirectly affecting many powers due to alliances through marriage causing shifts in circumstances.

The flesh of powerful savage beasts, for Totem Cultivators, was the best nourishment, which, especially for prominent figures, could even involve a tribe's witch intervening to replace a higher totem.

This grand gathering naturally stirred some interest in Chu Zheng, who wanted to see if he could pick up some treasures or information about totems.

The totem path, being compatible with Qi Cultivators, was beneficial for the original body; while the Martial Path could not be concurrently cultivated, having one more method to strengthen the physical body wasn't a bad thing, as it could enhance one's combat strength.

The only downside might be that his lifespan could suffer some loss, but, with the Repair Panel, it should be able to reduce a lot of physical damage and extend the lifespan as much as possible.

Now, what he needed more was to increase his cultivation level; as for the lifespan, he could consider it later, being young enough with plenty of time to spend.

"Are you interested in going to the Great Beast Hunting Festival?"

Chu Zheng had just returned to his tribe, and Uncle Lie found him to ask about his intentions.

The Great Beast Hunting Festival was not attended by every tribal member; at most, it would not exceed half of the tribe's overall strength. This was a fight against savage beasts, a life-threatening risk.

Every past Great Beast Hunting Festival had seen significant casualties, and for the survival of the tribes themselves, certain risks had to be avoided.

Ultimately, the Great Beast Hunting Festival was held because those large tribes did not want to see their people suffer heavy casualties, which was why this festival existed.

To fight against savage beasts was not something a single tribe or clan alliance could accomplish; it required more tribes' participation.

"I want to go."

Chu Zheng nodded without any hesitation, "Uncle Lie, when will we be setting off?"

"In half a year."

Seeing Chu Zheng's puzzled look, Uncle Lie continued, "We need to give the savage beasts some time to breed and carry their young."

Savage beasts with offspring under their care would also have their combat strength significantly affected, killing two birds with one stone.

In the struggle and conflict of races, any means are fair and justified.

Chu Zheng understood, then returned to his dwelling, retrieving the Divine Ability Bone he had repaired earlier. Continue your adventure with empire

Before participating in the grand competition, he needed to refine the Divine Ability Bone, now his cultivation was enough.

He was curious about what kind of Innate Divine Ability this bone would bring him.

Innate Divine Abilities, inherently mysterious, differed significantly from those developed later in life.

What Chu Zheng really wanted to verify was whether this Innate Divine Ability could affect his true body.

If his true body could also awaken an Innate Divine Ability like his avatar, then this trip to the Dongyuan Realm would truly be worthwhile.

To merge the Divine Ability Bone into his body, he first had to remove a spinal bone, then replace it with this bone, inserting it into his body.

Due to their identical structure, each person could only integrate up to three Divine Ability Bones, awakening up to three Innate Divine Abilities, a unique mystery of the Heavenly Spirit Race.

If the Divine Ability Bones weren't inherently ineffective for the Heavenly Spirit Race themselves, the current state of the Dongyuan Realm might well be different.

Chu Zheng lay on the stone bed, his hands folded into a sword, stabbing into his back, and enduring the intense pain, he forcibly plucked out a spinal bone.

Immediately, he stuffed the Divine Ability Bone into the gap, filling the vacated space.

As the Divine Ability Bone was inserted, stained by the blood, it immediately emitted a faint glow, and a powerful qi burst forth from the void, engulfing Chu Zheng in an instant.

In that moment, Chu Zheng felt as if a heavy hammer had struck his mind, and he passed out.

He was unconscious for quite a while before Chu Zheng eventually regained consciousness, glancing at the outside sky in mild shock; he had been unconscious for at least two hours.

The wound on his back was still aching faintly as he operated the Repair Panel to mend the injury on his back, sitting up.

Feeling around for a moment, his expression changed slightly as he sensed that his Divine Sense seemed much stronger.

With a thought, Chu Zheng pulled up the avatar panel.

[Name: Zheng Chu (Chu Zheng)]

[Cultivation: Third Order (Late Stage of Dao Embryo Realm)]

[Cultivation Technique: Eternal Calamity Treasure Record (Tenth Order)]

[Talent: Spiritual Eye (Fourth Order), Soul Capturing (Sixth Order)]

[Repair Master: Sixth Order (4050/8000)]

[Remaining Daily Repair Counts: 60]

[Currently Repairable: None]

In the Talent section, a new ability named Soul Capturing appeared.

As Chu Zheng sensed the changes within his body, he pondered.

Once the Divine Ability Bone entered his body, the Divine Rune on it vanished without a trace, turning into an ordinary spinal bone.

Once a Divine Ability Bone is contaminated, even if it is dug out and replaced with another, it cannot be reawakened to an Innate Divine Ability, potentially a constraint by the Dongyuan Heavenly Dao.
