Qi Cultivation Starting from the Repair Panel-Chapter 515 - 355: Ancestral Dao’s Legacy

Chapter 515 -355: Ancestral Dao’s Legacy

“Indeed, it’s all due to luck.”

Chu Zheng did not deny Nie Longhu’s statement. Luck played a significant part in him surviving to this day.

If the news of the Ancestral Dao’s death had emerged a few years earlier, his death would have been certain.

Without the alliance between Myriad Realms and Immortal Alliance, and the loss of the name of Ancestral Dao’s protection, even ten lives would not be enough to keep him alive.

The repair panel could only help so much. If not for his inherent talent in Qi Refining and the support of influential figures along his journey, he might still be trapped in Cangyun Realm today, without seeing the light of day.

“As for the news about you, it has already spread across the Myriad Realms. My master mentioned your name himself,” he continued.

At this, Nie Longhu offered an explanation:

“My master was the previous Great Clarity Primordial Daoist Lord, now the Ancestral Dao. I believe I have mentioned this to you before.”

“Your respected master is a North Spirit Golden Immortal, now under the Ancestral Dao and one of the nine of Taiching, with an extraordinary status.”

Hearing this, Chu Zheng nodded and said:

“When I first arrived in Myriad Realms, I thought about contacting Fellow Daoist Nie, but I feared it might cause disturbances, so I didn’t bother you.”

“Daoist Chu, I know you are not one to engage in pretentious mysteries. Considering that we’ve known each other for a time due to past encounters, let’s be straightforward about some matters,” Nie Longhu said with a slightly stern look and a somewhat solemn tone:

“Regarding the Ancestral Dao, tell me as much as you can, and I will not pry into the rest. In exchange, I can provide some secrets you may want to know.”

Understanding Chu Zheng’s personality to an extent—unyielding and stubborn—it was better to be direct than to probe with words.

“I merely received the Ancestral Dao’s legacy by chance. Beyond that, I know nothing about the Ancestral Dao,” said Chu Zheng, not concealing anything and telling the truth.

Before, the Ancestral Dao had indeed acted as a protective amulet for him; because Daluo Golden Immortals could not divine his fate, it added a layer of protection over him.

But now that the Ancestral Dao is dead, and the Immortal Alliance has lost interest in him, letting him fend for himself, there was no need for concealment.

This answer was somewhat unexpected for Nie Longhu, his eyes shimmering slightly, “The Qi-refining Technique personally passed down by the Ancestral Dao?”

At this point, he hesitated, wanting to ask yet worried it would displease Chu Zheng.

Seeing this, Chu Zheng simply lifted his finger and, against the starry sky, wrote down a Qi-refining Technique.

This is the Cultivation Skill from the Eternal Calamity Treasure Record, not much different from the Great Circulatory Qi Guideline he initially practiced.

When he first obtained the Eternal Calamity Treasure Record, he found that the way of circulating the Qi in it was not much more ingenious than the Great Circulatory Qi Guideline, only slightly adjusted.

And, after Dao Integration to Becoming an Immortal, the Eternal Calamity Treasure Record has no specific cultivation techniques, only some changes in the Qi Circulation pathways.

As for the technique of transcending calamities as an incarnation, Nie Longhu also knew it. It seems that the disciples of those Dao Lords were quite proficient in this path as well.

Nie Longhu did not want to miss any detail, but after carefully observing for a while, his expression couldn’t hide his disappointment.

This version of the Ancestral Dao’s Qi-refining Technique, although profoundly simple, did not stand out compared to other Qi-refining techniques.

In many Taoist orthodoxies, the Qi-refining cultivation method is perhaps the simplest: absorbing Yin and Yang Yuan Qi, expanding the mana within, and continuously advancing through trials after Dao Integration to increase one’s power.

Then there are the divine powers and secret techniques specific to the Qi-refining lineage, which differ from those of other paths. As long as one’s cultivation is sufficient, they come effortlessly, requiring no substantial effort to practice.

Only the innate divine abilities marked on the Golden Core above possess greater power; for Qi Cultivators who have already become immortals, that’s about the extent of it.

“It seems I have disappointed Fellow Daoist Nie.”

Chu Zheng wiped away the characters in the starry sky, appearing somewhat helpless: “This is all I know about the Ancestral Dao.”

“To receive the teachings directly from the Ancestral Dao is indeed a splash of Heavenly Fate.”

Nie Longhu calmed his emotions, shook his head, and didn’t doubt the truth of Chu Zheng’s words. Since he had already spoken, if he were to doubt after receiving an answer, he wouldn’t have asked in the first place.

“Does Daoist Chu have any questions? I shall spare no details in my answers.”

“I want to know more about the death of the Ancestral Dao. Did he truly die?”

Chu Zheng always had some doubts; how exactly was the death of the Ancestral Dao confirmed? If it is true, then how did the Ancestral Dao die?

Nie Longhu paused, reflecting, then summoned a meteor with a wave of his hand, casting out trails of sword light with his fingertips.

As the cosmic dust and debris slowly settled, a divine statue gradually emerged.

This is… the God Sculpting Method!

Chu Zheng’s eyes flickered, a trace of realization flashing through them.

Bang!

The statue had just formed when it suddenly exploded, turning into dust.

“It is now impossible to sculpt a divine statue of the Ancestral Dao.”

Nie Longhu sighed softly, a hint of loss in his eyes:

“All the divine statues of the Ancestral Dao across the Myriad Realms collapsed overnight, and the Dao Lords could not sense the existence of the Ancestral Dao through their own Heavenly Fate. These are all corroborative proof of the Ancestral Dao’s death.”

He revered the Ancestral Dao, having embarked on the path of Qi Refining Lineage, cultivating the Yin Yang Dual Qi, and ascending towards becoming an Immortal, other than his master, the Ancestral Dao was the most esteemed elder he admired.

Daluo Golden Immortal, the ultimate realm Qi Cultivators could ascend to, he found it difficult to let go of his mysterious death.

After a silence, Nie Longhu added:

“The death of the Ancestral Dao is indeed very peculiar. It is said that the news of his death came from the Chaos Sea, roughly six or seven years ago.”

“Chaos Sea? Six or seven years ago?”

Upon hearing this, Chu Zheng’s brow furrowed slightly, feeling a mixture of shock and uncertainty.

The Chaos Sea made him think of Daoist Venerable Zheng Chu almost immediately, indicating that the timing of the Ancestral Dao’s death was not far from when he had severed his connection with the Incense Fire Divine Path and stripped Zheng Chu of his position.

Could there be a connection between these two events?

Nie Longhu pondered for a while, glanced at Hao Mo, who was still unconscious next to him, and whispered:

“I will tell you a secret known by very few; some beings that have entered the Space-time Domain in the Vast Universe have secretly ventured to search for the residual soul of the Ancestral Dao, seemingly to uncover something left by the Ancestral Dao.”

As he spoke, Nie Longhu’s eyes narrowed slightly, meticulously observing Chu Zheng’s expression, not missing any detail.

The words just spoken were half true and half false; indeed, beings from the Myriad Realms have secretly gone to the Vast Universe, but he was unclear about their purpose.

He only intended to test Chu Zheng with his words, whether the Ancestral Dao really left behind something, only heaven knows.

“Something left behind by the Ancestral Dao?”

Chu Zheng looked puzzled, but his mind was deep in thought.

Apart from the Qi-refining Technique, did the Ancestral Dao leave behind other things?

Could his own repair panel be related to that?
