Qi Cultivation Starting from the Repair Panel-Chapter 1017 - 571: Transcendence (Final - )

The Great Universe, having lost all Heavenly Fate, underwent a fundamental transformation in silence.

This change is not superficial but originates from the root vitality, as if the foundation supporting the active evolution of the entire Great Universe was quietly withdrawn, leaving only an empty shell.

The myriad paths are withering, and all fortunes of the paths are gone.

The once rainbow-like paths of fortune in the Star Space have now become dim and extremely vague, covered with thick dust.

The spiritual perception of many cultivators resonating with heaven and earth has been isolated by an invisible barrier, becoming sluggish.

Whether it’s absorbing spiritual energy or comprehending the Great Dao, it has become unprecedentedly difficult, like trudging through thick mire, where each step consumes ten to a hundred times the effort but yields little result.

Not only do the Immortal Martial Daoist Buddhas who rely on Qi fortune experience this, but even the Qi Cultivators are greatly affected.

The path of a Qi Cultivator is a solitary journey in itself. Even if a Qi Cultivator occasionally receives heaven’s favor and carries some Heavenly Fate, their blessing scarcely benefits others and cannot alter the overall trend of the path.

Now, as the vitality at the Cosmic Origin level declines, the difficulty in sensing Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi and tempering the body has suddenly multiplied, making the future path seem shrouded in an invisible mist, with no dawn in sight.

The terrifying aura of the End of Dharma Era descends, like a shadow that cannot be dispelled, looming over the hearts of all living creatures.

All cultivation paths are slowly but surely heading towards decline.

Unlike the soon-to-wither Great Universe, Chu Zheng’s own Cave Heaven World bursts forth with an extremely terrifying vitality.

When Chu Zheng steps from the Great Universe into the Grotto Heaven, it’s as if moving from a desolate wasteland into a Divine Kingdom teeming with life.

Here, the Heaven and Earth Laws, owing to the complete integration of tenfold Heavenly Fate and the mastery of the whole Heaven’s Mandate, have achieved unprecedented perfection.

Heaven is no longer void but is a dome flowing with golden brilliance of the laws, and the earth is no longer ordinary but fertile soil nurturing infinite creative spiritual mechanisms.

Looking around, Heavenly Fate is no longer an intangible and formless fortune but manifests as a majestic aura visible to the naked eye, like golden glow spread across the heavens and the earth, nourishing all things.

The surging sea of clouds is not water vapor but pure spiritual mist; mountains, rivers, and streams are structured by Spirit Veins and Laws, gleaming with gentle light.

The Spirit Beasts and creatures, once acting upon instinct, have almost entirely shed their mortal forms, awakened spiritual wisdom, and even experienced Ancestral Return, transforming into true Divine Beasts or even Ancient Holy Spirits.

Above the Nine Heavens, there are Ancient Divine Birds adorned in seven-colored feathers, with wings wide enough to obscure an entire Star Domain, traversing the magnificent sky composed of nebulae and glow, emitting melodious cries in harmony with the Great Dao.

On the earth, ancient Divine Woods with lush foliage covering numerous vast continents have roots deep into the core, drawing the world’s original power. Atop the canopy, instead of ordinary leaves, there are silhouettes of sun, moon, and stars. Their gentle sway seems to breathe, directing the Grotto Heaven World’s pulse to rise and fall along with it.

This is the perfect Divine Kingdom belonging to Chu Zheng alone, an eternal Pure Land transcending the decay of the outer world.

Chu Zheng’s gaze does not linger long on these magnificent scenes; his figure silently appears in the core region of the Cave Heaven World.

There is a tranquil and peaceful bamboo forest, with bamboo shadows swaying and spiritual energy transforming into a mist wisping through the forest.

Deep in the bamboo forest, a simple yet elegant wooden house stands quietly.

In front of the wooden house, a white figure has long been waiting.

It is a woman wearing a spotless plain white long dress, her figure graceful, standing tall and slender, with a stunningly beautiful face, seemingly gathering all the world’s spiritual beauty. Her skin is lustrous and translucent, surpassing the purity of snow and ice.

Her pupils are like the finest glaze, untainted by the slightest dust, clearly reflecting the surrounding bamboo shadows and heavenly light.

Between her brows is a vermilion mark, red as blood, almost seeming to contain an unquenchable flame of Dao, adding a touch of sacredness.

She is the Spirit Deer that was by Bai Nian’s side in the past; during the astonishing transformation accompanying the Heavenly Fate Perfection in Chu Zheng’s Cave Heaven World, this naturally gifted white deer has undoubtedly gained unimaginable benefits, becoming a true living creature of the Mythical Realm.

Noticing Chu Zheng’s arrival, the woman’s expression slightly moves, a hint of fondness and awe flashing in her glaze-like eyes.

Without any hesitation, she, as before, kneels respectfully to the ground, performing a grand salute of prostration, her voice reverent:

"The Emperor is above."

Chu Zheng’s gaze instantly lands on her bosom, on the soul light she guards with her warm demonic power against her heart.

His eyes suddenly become incomparably complex, with remembrance and sighs.

When he first met Bai Nian in Illusory Spirit City, he never imagined today’s scene.

Bai Nian always knew what he wanted; he understood that eternal life and perpetual insight had become a distant, unattainable dream for him.

Despite Bai Nian’s talents, no matter how diligently he cultivates, he cannot resist the relentless erosion of time.

Only by abandoning this fragile and transient mortal body and refining all of himself, including his Divine Soul and Spirit, into an immortal Magic Treasure as an Artifact Spirit,

can he possibly exist for a long time in another form, to continue following Chu Zheng’s footsteps and to witness those unimaginable vistas.

At that time, Chu Zheng agreed to him.
