Refining Qi starts from repairing the panel

The successive breakthroughs in his cultivation made Chu Zheng's already unstable foundation even more unstable.

Chu Zheng has been on the path of cultivation for less than thirty years, but he has already crossed the seven secret realms of cultivation and touched the threshold of true immortality.

Apart from the alien species that are naturally strong, this speed is rare among the human race.

The path of spiritual practice is like water dripping through a stone. If you want to walk steadily, you can't go too fast. Taking shortcuts often means paying other unpredictable costs.

If Chu Zheng had not laid a strong enough foundation when he entered the realm of Taoism, and his Five Elements Taoism foundation was complete and evolved into an immortal root, plus the Yin-Yang Immortal Bone as support, his immortal talent would have reached the pinnacle, it would have been absolutely impossible for him to achieve what he has now.

Even so, Chu Zheng's current state is like a castle in the air, hanging in mid-air, unable to reach the sky or the ground, and there is a risk of collapse at any time.

Fortunately, with the growth of his cultivation, the progress of his body in refining the small world has made significant progress. With a complete world as a support, he can gain a firm foothold again, consolidate his foundation, and prepare to deal with the Five Elements Tribulation after stepping into the threshold of True Immortal.

This will take some time, and it will be difficult for him to repair the panel, so he will have to do it by himself.

The true fairyland is to be separated from this world, come into contact with the universe, master the laws of the universe, and after experiencing the baptism of the five elements of yin and yang, destroy evil and assist righteousness, and eliminate the false and retain the true, only then can one attain the Tao.

The eighth realm of cultivation is the stage for all living beings to transform and ascend to godhood. Lifespan, combat power, and the degree of mastery of the laws will undergo qualitative changes, and the life level will be elevated. Swallowing the stars and the sun will no longer be just an illusory description.

Chu Zheng always felt that something was wrong about this. One quarter of the memory was only a very small part for a creature that had lived for who knows how many years. What's more, this part of the memory was incomplete and not coherent.

More importantly, Wu Tong's attitude made Chu Zheng notice something unusual.

As the memory of the Dark Phoenix was repaired, Wu Tong's expression became colder and colder, like a pool of stagnant water. There was no ripple in his eyes, and he no longer had the excitement he had when he first discovered that he could repair his memory.

Occasionally, when he looked towards the Dark Phoenix, there was always a hint of struggle in his eyes, as if he was weighing the pros and cons.

In the hall made of interwoven vines, evil spirits were surging.

Many of the originally emerald green leaves have been completely permeated by the evil spirit and are glowing with a dark green light.

Outside the tree cage, Chu Zheng stood tall. The dead soul jade in his hand gradually dissipated and turned into a ray of spiritual light, which was injected into the body of the black-clothed woman in the cage.

As his cultivation level improved, his appearance now became exactly the same as his original body, except for his slightly pale skin color, he is no different from an ordinary person.

The black blood that had previously solidified in the body had already begun to flow, and the heart began to beat again. With each beat, golden threads were hidden in the flowing black blood.

If he could take one more step, cross the eighth level threshold, enter the realm of corpse king, and turn black blood into gold, Chu Zheng would become a holy spirit, comparable to a true immortal.

Wu Tong stood quietly beside Chu Zheng, staring at the woman in black in the cage without saying a word, with a dark look in his eyes.

Over the years, Ming Huang's attitude has become much more moderate, but Wu Tong has never let her leave the cage, and even the fairy chains tied to her body have not been untied, just like before.

After a while, the Dark Phoenix in the cage slowly opened its eyes, raised its hand to rub its forehead, and silently digested the extra memories.

After a moment, she put down her hand, stood up and walked to the cage, and said with a little pleading:

"Atong, I want to go out. It's too boring to stay here all day. Do you remember that what I hated most was not being able to go anywhere?"

Wu Tong did not respond, and there was an imperceptible sadness in his eyes.

The Dark Phoenix was unaware of this, his eyes turned slightly, and then he said:

"You're traveling back and forth between the two worlds, which is too tiring. A lot of Dead Soul Jade will be wasted. Why don't we just stay near the Soul Evolution Pond? This way, I can get my memory back faster. How do you think?"

Her tone was tentative and her expression was nervous, as if she was worried that Wu Tong would not agree.

Wu Tong was silent for a long time, and finally nodded slightly:

"good."

Click——

As soon as he finished speaking, the immortal chains that bound the Dark Phoenix's body broke, and the wooden cage slowly opened.

Seeing this, Ming Huang rubbed his wrist and looked at the wide-open cage door. His eyes flickered for a moment, and he couldn't believe that Wu Tong agreed so easily to something he had been dreaming about day and night.

"You take a night's rest, and I'll take you back to the universe tomorrow."

Wu Tong didn't say much, waved his hand, and turned and left with Chu Zheng who was hesitant to speak.

Chu Zheng didn't speak until he left the hall. His brows were slightly furrowed and hesitant. "Now that her memory has not been repaired halfway, it is hard to tell whether what she said is true or false. Senior, it is better not to take too many risks."

After all, the Dark Phoenix is ​​a person from the universe. If she suddenly causes trouble after entering the universe and spreads the news, it will attract some unpredictable terrifying giants in the universe and cause great trouble.

In particular, the space channel that Wu Tong is currently suppressing will also be at risk of being exposed.

No matter what, bringing the Dark Phoenix back to the Universe would be a matter of great disadvantages and no benefits.

"No need to say more about this matter, I know it well."

Wu Tong didn't care and raised his hand to signal Chu Zheng to leave. His mood obviously became a little low. He stood there with his head down, looking lonely.

Seeing this, Chu Zheng didn't say anything more. He left with some doubts and waited to set off tomorrow.

The biggest reason why he was not willing to stay in the universe for a long time was because of the speed of time.

Due to the special location of the Chaos Sea, the speed of time flow here is different from that in the universe, but this kind of special feature does not exist in the universe.

The speed of time flow in the universe is the same as that in the big universe, which will undoubtedly cause Chu Zheng to waste a lot of time.

At this rate, it would take an unknown amount of time for Ming Huang's memory to be restored. He did not have the time and energy to keep wasting it by staying with Wu Tong.

During the more than 600 years in the Tianwu Realm, Chu Zheng once returned to the location of the tomb. The entrance to the tomb had originally been closed, and it caused quite a stir at first.

Many creatures who had entered the ninth level came in person, trying to break through the space barrier and reopen the entrance to the tomb, but the result was naturally in vain.

In the end, no living creature walked out of the tomb alive.

All Chu Zheng could do about this was to watch. In the past, he might have thought of some solutions, but now, as his horizons gradually broadened, there were many things that he could not participate in.

Especially when it comes to strong people who have entered the realm of time and space, it will bring him a lot of trouble.

Wu Tong's existence is the best proof that all secrets can be exposed in front of him.

Having entered the realm of time and space, on a macro level, they are no longer in the same dimension as ordinary creatures. In addition to up and down, front and back, left and right, they now see the past and the future.

With Chu Zheng's current level of cultivation, forcing himself to get involved would be tantamount to asking for trouble.

Wu Tong now holds the authority of the Heavenly Dao in the Tianwu Realm, and nothing in the realm can be hidden from him. Chu Zheng has also tried to find out who is buried in that big tomb.

Wu Tong did not make a clear statement about this, he just said that this person had a deep connection with the universe and it was not easy for him to offend, so he just turned a blind eye.

Wu Tong didn't want to say much, but Chu Zheng could guess that all the living creatures in that tomb were headed by Gongyi Ziyu.

Gongyi Ziyu is a genuine creature from the universe, born in Lingtian Prefecture, which is the area where Wu Tong founded Baihuang Pavilion. There must be some unknown interests hidden in this.

A day passes in a flash.

During this day, the Dark Phoenix seemed very quiet. After walking out of the cage, it did not leave the wooden nest, but just turned around casually.

As the morning light began to appear, the brilliance of the sun was obscured by the evil spirit, and it could only cast mottled spots of light, and the sky was gray.

Wu Tong took Chu Zheng and Ming Huang away from the wooden nest.

After obtaining Wu Tong's permission, Ming Huang's soul returned to his body.

Following a high-pitched phoenix cry filled with endless satisfaction, the lavender Nether Phoenix flapped its wings and rose up. The heavenly chains that bound its body broke, and infinite divine light burst out.

Wu Tong watched the scene in front of him quietly, his eyes like the surface of a lake brushed by a gentle breeze, shimmering with light. He slowly raised his hand and clenched his palm.

In an instant, the void around the Nether Phoenix was melted by an invisible force and turned into a cage, slowly shrinking.

After a moment, it turned into a fist-sized transparent crystal ball and fell into Wu Tong's palm.

Without saying a word, he took Chu Zheng all the way down and fell straight to the entrance of the space channel.

Chu Zheng felt a little uneasy for a moment. He seemed to sense some strange aura. There was a wave beside Wu Tong that was very familiar to him, but he was not sure for a moment.

It seems like a calamity.

In just a short moment, Chu Zheng followed behind Wu Tong, passed through the space channel and Lingtian Mansion, crossed an incalculable distance, and arrived at the Soul-Evolving Pool.

Wu Tong said nothing more. He crushed the crystal ball in his palm and released the Dark Phoenix directly.

call--

The Dark Phoenix spread its wings, covering the sky. As its wings flapped, a fierce wind whistled in the void, accompanied by a crisp and sharp shout:

"Wu Tong, I said at the beginning that if I had the chance to return to the universe, I would kill you. Now, you are courting death!"

Before she finished her words, feathers spread out from the sides of her neck and transformed into countless light purple streams of light, splashing across the vast expanse of land. In a flash, they merged into the void and disappeared without a trace.

This was obviously a means of communication. Ming Huang sent a message to an unknown existence, asking for reinforcements to come and kill Wu Tong. She did not even hesitate for a moment and was extremely decisive and resolute.

For a moment, Chu Zheng's expression changed slightly and he turned to look at Wu Tong.

Seeing Wu Tong's reaction, he was slightly stunned.

Wu Tong's expression was very complicated. He seemed a little reluctant, yet also relieved. He didn't even move an inch.

Boom——

The sky changed strangely, the sky shattered, and hundreds of scattered figures came over, crushing the space at the same time.

The Soul Evolution Pool is half of the foundation of the universe. There are countless forces stationed here all year round. Strong men from all the major divine palaces are stationed here in order to absorb suitable fresh blood.

The moment the Dark Phoenix sent out the message, many powerful beings set out and rushed here, including some giants who had entered the tenth level.

"First you killed my old friend, then you imprisoned me for a million years. Today is the day for you to pay your blood debt and wash away my humiliation!"

Ming Huang's voice was full of joy. Under the current circumstances, Wu Tong could not escape.

Wu Tong's expression remained calm from beginning to end, without any ripples, regarding Ming Huang's sudden change of attitude, as if he had expected it.

He looked around and sighed, "I gave you countless chances, but you still deceived me for more than six hundred years."

The creatures from the universe that came from all directions did not act rashly, but watched quietly from the sidelines.

Being in a hurry to stand out is not a good thing, they have enough patience.

"He holds a space channel in his hand, connecting to the Chaos Sea of ​​the Great Universe, which can accommodate the Palace Master to enter and exit. There are no ancestral creatures guarding the boundary gate, so breaking into it is as easy as pie!"

The Dark Phoenix shouted loudly, causing the expressions of the creatures in the universe present to suddenly change.

The space passage leading to the universe allows strong people from the realm of eternal mythology to pass through, and there are no creatures from the ancestral realm guarding it. This news is enough to alarm the Lord of the Divine Mansion.

Looking at the unexpected events before his eyes, Chu Zheng felt a little depressed. He had already understood that this was something Wu Tong had done intentionally.

"Senior... why are you doing this?"

“A broken mirror cannot be mended.”

Facing Chu Zheng's question, Wu Tong shook his head slowly, looking dejected:

"If the soul doesn't exist, even if I force it, the memories that were lost and regained are ultimately like flowers in the mirror and the moon in the water, which will collapse at the slightest touch. My Yundan died 37 million years ago."

Yundan is the real name of the fairy phoenix.

It was not until this moment that Chu Zheng suddenly realized that Wu Tong had never called him by this name again after all these years, since the first time his memory was repaired.

"What Yun Dan hated the most was indeed the restriction of her freedom and the inability to soar under the stars, but she also said that she was willing to use me as a cage and never abandon me."

Wu Tong raised his head and looked at the Dark Phoenix in mid-air, his eyes gradually turning cold:

"Today, we are done."
