Qi Cultivation Starting from the Repair Panel

"How does the Saint Heir know of this matter? How could the treasured heirloom of my Song Clan end up in your hands?"

Song Yusang\'s face showed a slight change, and his eyes were filled with doubt. The Eastern Territory Song Clan\'s visit was highly secretive, and many of his clansmen were still unaware.

Chu Zheng did not answer his question but instead lifted his hand to point towards Song Lingqing to the side:

"She too is of the Southern Territory Song Clan bloodline, and my deceased wife was her direct elder sister."

"I see…"

Song Yusang quickly figured out the key to the issue. His gaze lingered on the Blood Jade in Chu Zheng\'s hand for a moment before he regained his composure and sat back down:

"Please speak frankly about your purpose for coming here today, Saint Heir."

"I want to ask Patriarch Song whether you plan to side with the Shang Family or return to the Eastern Territory\'s main branch."

Chu Zheng did not beat around the bush and said directly, "Or perhaps choose neither and decide to stand on your own."

"Stand on our own?"

Song Yusang\'s heart skipped a beat, then his expression dimmed slightly, "How could my Song family have the capital to stand on our own right now?"

Whether it be the Primordial Spirit Holy Land or the True Immortal noble family, neither was something that a small family protected only by a Divine Infant Cultivator could withstand.

Chu Zheng raised the Blood Jade in his hand and hinted, "Does Patriarch Song know the specific use of this family heritage Blood Jade?"

"I do."

Song Yusang hesitated for a while before nodding, "Some time ago, people from the Eastern Territory mentioned that the Blood Jade is connected to a secret realm, which contains the legacy left by our Song ancestors. However, our clan does not have this item…"

"Does not have this item?"

A flash of spiritual light crossed Chu Zheng\'s eyes as he activated the Heavenly Divination Technique. A breath quickly came from the Song family\'s inner house, within an arm\'s reach.

After coming back to his senses, Chu Zheng shook his head, "I\'ve been sincere, it seems the Family Head still has many concerns."

Without further ado, he got straight to the point, "I have a method to open the secret realm. After the realm is opened, I will take out half of the resources inside for all the Song Clan branches in the Southern Region to share."

"When the time comes, I will allocate a territory in Taixuan City for the Southern Territory Song Clan to recuperate and multiply."

"Is the Saint Heir asking us to turn towards Taixuan?"

Song Yusang\'s gaze sharpened instantly. If they were to pledge allegiance, both the Shang Family and the Eastern Territory Song Clan seemed like better choices than Taixuan.

Although Chu Zheng\'s fame was rising, he was after all a Soul Condensing Monk, and Taixuan was in decline. Compared to an ancient Holy Land and a True Immortal noble family, it really lacked appeal.

"Taixuan Holy Land does not take outsiders, the Southern Territory Song Clan may stand on their own."

"Stand on our own…"

Song Yusang\'s gaze flickered slightly; the prospect of independence was undoubtedly a great temptation for a vassal family.

"I will not tarry here for long, just half a day. The Family Head can consult with the ancestral elders of the clan."

Having said this, Chu Zheng put away the Blood Jade and closed his eyes to rest. He had no idle heart to rush into offering resources. If the Song family was unwilling to seize this opportunity, he would not insist too much and would go with the flow.

Song Yusang fell into contemplation, but before he could think deeply, a clan disciple hurried in and whispered:

"Report to the Family Head, there are guests from the Shang Family at our doorstep!"

"The Shang Family?!"

Song Yusang immediately stood up and looked towards Chu Zheng, "Does the Saint Heir wish to withdraw?"

Previously, the Primordial Spirit Holy Land had also participated in the bounty hunting of Chu Zheng, and Song Yusang was worried that the two parties might conflict.

Chu Zheng did not make it hard for Song Yusang and stood up, "If Patriarch Song feels it is inconvenient for me to be here, then I should withdraw."

"Not at all."

Song Yusang waved his hand repeatedly, "My concern was to avoid upsetting the Saint Heir. If you have no intent to cross swords with the Shang Family, there\'s no need to avoid them."

This statement undoubtedly signaled a certain attitude.

Hearing this, Chu Zheng did not speak again and simply sat back down.

Shortly after, two figures stepped into the hall, a man and a woman, both appearing young, around twenty in age, with strong cultivations. The man was at the Mid-Stage Soul Condensing Realm, and the woman at the Soul Condensing Initial Stage.

Chu Zheng activated his Spiritual Eye, surveyed them briefly, and sensed a robust Life Yuan Qi.

These two were very young, not even a hundred years old.

Chu Zheng connected mentally to the Hidden Dragon List and after a glance, he quickly recognized their auras.

[Hidden Dragon List №336: Primordial Spirit Holy Land, Shang Jin Hong, bone age seventy-three, cultivation at the Early Soul Condensing Realm.]

[Hidden Dragon List №307: Primordial Spirit Holy Land, Shang Yunchuan, bone age eighty-one, cultivation at the Mid Soul Condensation Realm.]

As expected, they were two illustrious geniuses listed on the Hidden Dragon List.

Shang Yunchuan glanced around the hall, saw Chu Zheng still sitting in the main seat without any intention to stand, and his brows furrowed:

"Who might you be?"

The Patriarch of the Song family would have stood up to greet them, as it was the proper etiquette.

Chu Zheng glanced at the two individuals, unconcerned, "Chu Zheng."

"Chu Zheng… the Taixuan Holy Son?!"

Upon hearing the name Chu Zheng, both were initially stunned, then suddenly realized who he was and involuntarily took a half step back, their expressions turning grave.

Before the battle at the Immortal Martial Battlefield, neither of them considered Chu Zheng to be significant, but now, everything was completely different. More than one Soul Condensing Realm Perfection cultivator had died at Chu Zheng\'s hands.

With their current abilities, they stood no chance against Chu Zheng.

"Chu Zheng, what brings you to this place?"

Shang Jin Hong sharply inquired, recalling Chu Zheng\'s infamy. Her gaze drifted, revealing a few moments of unease, followed by a lack of confidence as she said:

"We are but six hundred thousand li from the Primordial Spirit Holy Land. The elders of the Holy Land can arrive in an instant."

"What I\'m doing here is none of your concern,"

Chu Zheng responded without heed, closing his eyes to rest.

"Cough—"

Song Yusang gave a slight cough, diverting the conversation, "What brings our distinguished guests here today?"

Regaining his composure, Shang Yunchuan furrowed his brows, no longer looking at Chu Zheng, and said in a low voice,

"Our clan asked me to inquire one last time if the Song Family truly does not wish to enter into a matrimonial alliance."

"Lord Ping lost his parents early on, and he is the only scion left in that line. It\'s truly hard to bear the thought of having him marry into another family."

Song Yusang shook his head slightly, his face wearing a forced smile, "Please tell the Shang Family that the child really does not have such a fortune."

Hearing this, the two from the Shang Family exchanged a glance, did not persist, and without saying another word, they turned and left hastily.

No sooner had they stepped out of the mansion than they took out a Message Jade Book to report Chu Zheng\'s appearance to the Primordial Spirit Holy Land.

Compared to the sudden appearance of Chu Zheng, the matter of Song Pingjun was but a trivial issue.

......

......

Inside the grand hall,

After seeing off the two from the Shang Family, Song Yusang turned around to remind,

"Would the Saint Heir like to leave first? I\'m concerned that once these two leave, they might bring people from the Primordial Spirit Holy Land here."

Chu Zheng, unconcerned, casually crushed a Message Jade Talisman and waved his hand, "No need, Patriarch, make a decision as quickly as possible, for we may not have much time."

"This..."

Song Yusang paced back and forth before at last, clenching his teeth, "Please wait a moment, Saint Heir, I will go to consult the elder ancestor."

"Patriarch Song, please do as you see fit."

Chu Zheng once again closed his eyes to meditate, his fingertips tapping lightly, timing the moment.

......

......

Upon learning of Chu Zheng\'s appearance in the Imperial Capital of Tianhuang Country, the Primordial Spirit Holy Land was undoubtedly shaken, instantaneously stirring many elders.

Upon the summit of a soaring Spirit Peak, a woman in yellow robes, seated atop a Spirit Crystal, slowly opened her eyes. Her slightly yellowish skin had a jade-like glow, her ink-black hair draped over her shoulders, back straight, her form strikingly contoured, her pupils flickering with a dull golden Spiritual Light.

A streak of Spiritual Light traveled from the horizon and descended into her palm, transforming into a Message Jade Talisman.

"Chu Zheng..."

Seeing the content on the Jade Talisman, her eyes sparked with interest, and she immediately rose, transforming into a long rainbow streak, and suddenly departed.

In less than half an hour, a dozen lights flashed above the Song Family\'s estate, robes billowing in the wild wind, making a sharp rustling sound, their auras leaking out, each a peak powerhouse in the Divine Transformation Realm.

After just a few breaths, another light flashed into existence, stopping in front of the holy land elders, dispersing to reveal a figure in yellow robes.

"Ancestral Spirit? Why have you come as well?"

Seeing the woman in yellow, all the elders of the holy land showed puzzled expressions.

Shang Zuling seldom concerned herself with worldly matters, dedicating herself to cultivation, and even these elders rarely saw her within the Holy Land.

"I have come to see Chu Zheng,"

Shang Zuling said blandly, her gaze contemplative.

She had come here because she had already learned the news that, for the Great Tournament of Ten Thousand Sects, there were two slots to enter the Minor Immortal Realm.

It went without saying who the newly added slot was for.

......

......

Inside the grand hall.

A white-haired elder stood in front of Chu Zheng, bowing and presenting a Fragment of Jade,

"From the Southern Territory Song Clan, thank you for your troubles, Saint Heir."

"Elder, you speak too highly."

Chu Zheng bowed in reply, accepting the Remnant Jade.

[Family Heritage Blood Jade (Fourth Order/Incomplete): A medium for opening a Secret Realm, divided into six Fragments. Once assembled and augmented with the Essence Blood of the Song Clan\'s direct lineage, a Secret Realm can be opened. You have obtained two pieces, repairable (0/200)].

Chu Zheng could not help but admire the resolve of the old ancestor, who, after hearing Song Yusang\'s report, chose the path of independence without much hesitation.

"Above us are the elders from the Primordial Spirit Holy Land, does the Saint Heir have a way to leave?"

The Song Family\'s elder ancestor pointed to the sky, "Will there be any need to make use of my Song Family\'s grounds?"

"No need," Continue your journey with m|v-l\'-NovelBin.net

Chu Zheng shook his head and chuckled, "Someone will come to fetch us shortly."

Boom—

Before his words fell silent, a flash of fiery light suddenly blitzed across the skyline outside the mansion.

The void rumbled, as a chariot traversing the Divine Fire Sky Ladder raced towards them.

Above the chariot stood a figure, clad in crimson robes, his stature immense and commanding respect without anger, his aura unrestrained, dominating the skies for miles around.

From Taixuan Holy Land, the Head of Punishment Hall, Ge Yuan, a Pseudo-Immortal who had already stepped into the Late Tong Xuan Stage.

The elders of the Primordial Spirit Holy Land instantly changed color, their faces filled with astonishment.

Now that he was known as the Taixuan Holy Son, Chu Zheng wouldn\'t venture deep into the Primordial Spirit Holy Land without preparation.

His single message was enough to mobilize a Pseudo-Immortal of the present age.

"Elder may wish to instruct the clan members to prepare."

Chu Zheng gently clapped his hands, storing away the Blood Jade.

"Today, the Song Family may follow me back to Taixuan City, and no one will stop them."
