As for the selection of the body, Chu Zheng now had greater freedom.This level of damaged body, once a Qi Cultivator's divided soul took possession, there would be no signs of life.
However, for Chu Zheng, there was no need to think so much. In the future, when incarnating to undergo tribulations, he just needed to find a recently deceased corpse. As long as the divided soul could take possession, he could rely on the repair panel to mend the damages on the body.
This body, judging by the age of the bones, was not yet fourteen years old, still a half-grown child. Having died a violent death in the wilderness, the body had been stabbed thirteen times, each strike aiming directly at vital organs, clearly there were some undercurrents involved.
A while later, Chu Zheng regained his senses and pulled up the panel.
[Name: Tree Root (Chu Zheng)]
[Cultivation: Zeroth Order]
[Cultivation Technique: None]
[Repair Master: Fourth Order (2000/2000)]
[Remaining repairs for the day: 1]
[Currently repairable: None]
Compared to his own panel, this one that appeared this time was much simpler, with cultivation techniques and divine skills, physique, Immortal Bone, all vanished without a trace, leaving behind only the most basic information.
The spiritual energy between heaven and earth was exceedingly sparse, and the number of repairs refreshed daily had dropped to an unprecedented once per day.
Nevertheless, this wasn't important to Chu Zheng, who merely needed a body to incarnate and endure tribulations.
This place was too far from the Cangyun Realm. In this lifetime, it was highly unlikely that there would be any connection, there was no need to think about repairing anything.
His task was to try his best to cultivate the Eternal Calamity Treasure Record, attract Tribulation Qi to his body, and share the pressure of his true self.
Chu Zheng did not hesitate at all, immediately sat cross-legged, activated the Eternal Calamity Treasure Record, and began locating the Qi sensation.
To deceive the Heavenly Dao and transcend tribulation with a void body was naturally not something so simple to achieve.
Cultivating this method, this body would gradually resemble his true self more closely, three parts in form, seven parts in spirit. This was the remarkable aspect of the Eternal Calamity Treasure Record.
Entry into the Method of Qi Refining related to an elusive understanding, based on Chu Zheng's estimate, even though he had changed bodies, the time it would take for him to channel Qi into his body wouldn't be much different from his initial attempt back at the Song Residence.
However, the result of his attempt to find the Qi sensation this time far exceeded Chu Zheng's expectations.
Back in the Song Residence, when he first tried the Great Circulatory Qi Guideline, Chu Zheng took two and a half hours to successfully channel Qi into his body, which was considered a decent talent in Qi-refining technique.
This time, it only took him a quarter of an hour, ten times faster than the previous attempt!
Even after the Yuan Qi had circulated in his body for a while, Chu Zheng still hadn't come to terms with it. The speed at which he'd entered was somewhat exaggerated, even leaving him somewhat in disbelief.
This had nothing to do with his cultivation experience. Finding Qi sensation was not something that you could do faster the second time just because you had done it once; it all depended on one's innate understanding.
After a long while, Chu Zheng finally came back to his senses, pondered for some time, and was still unable to conclude anything, only able to attribute this to the variations of the world.
He closed his eyelids and continued cultivating. Sёarᴄh the novёlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

At dawn, as the sun began to rise, it brought the first trace of pure Yang Qi.
Chu Zheng sat cross-legged amongst the mass burial mound, his breath long and steady, ignoring the stench entering his nostrils. His spirit concentrated and Qi circulated, absorbing the rising Yang Qi from between heaven and earth to balance the Yin Qi inside his body.
Overnight, his body had undergone a drastic transformation; the frail body had suddenly increased in Qi strength by a hundred pounds.
But that was it.
From a thatched hut to a skyscraper, the Hundred Days Spiritual Transformation, a step that even someone with high talent and understanding could not skip, needed to be taken one step at a time, and could not be rushed.
After stabilizing his condition, Chu Zheng left the mass burial mound.
His first task was to find some food to satiate his hunger, absorb the Qi of the grains to nurture his body, and then learn about this new world to see if he could find some old medicine to increase his cultivation faster.
He could not fast until he reached the Spirit Transformation Realm.
Chu Zheng moved swiftly through the wilderness with agile strides, resembling an agile ape.
Without having to concern himself with his own life or death, his mindset was more relaxed and comfortable than ever before; it felt like he had let go of some shackles deep within his soul and reached a new level of liberation.
For a Qi Cultivator, attaining such clarity of thought was a rare joy in the world.
Chu Zheng raced along, and after a while, he finally arrived in front of a city.
The city walls were thirty feet high, marked by the large characters "Yuncao City."
A gentle breeze brushed his face, and Chu Zheng smelled a hint of fishiness. Not far from this place was a large river.
After pausing for a moment, Chu Zheng turned and left. At this moment, his body was muddied and crusted with blood scabs, which could attract unnecessary trouble.
Moreover, given the condition of the Tree Root before, there were likely still some troubles lingering around him.
A moment later, Chu Zheng arrived by the river, washed off the blood, repaired his tattered clothes, tidied himself up, and stepped slowly into Yuncao City.
On the west side of the city near the riverbank, a huge port was built, hosting over a thousand ships. Looking up, it was swarming with people.
Chu Zheng carefully observed the passersby, cautiously exploring the cultivation system of this world in front of him.
After discreetly gathering information for half a day, Chu Zheng gradually let his guard down.
This world, to his surprise, was more fragile than he had imagined. There were martial artists, but those who had managed to cultivate Inner Qi were rare masters, few and far between.
For Chu Zheng, after a hundred days, he would be able to stand at the summit of this world. He could cultivate in peace, preparing for the impending tribulations.
After wandering around the city for a while, Chu Zheng found a job in a pawnshop, where he began his systematic cultivation while keeping a low profile.
In the blink of an eye, more than a month had passed.
...
...
Cangyun Realm, Taixuan Holy Land.
At the summit of Divine Peak, Chu Zheng slowly opened his eyes.
After the Soul Division, he could now do some simple tasks based on the situation, though he might appear somewhat foolish, he didn't need to constantly watch over his main body.
Mainly because his current Divine Soul cultivation was still shallow, using one soul for two purposes was somewhat strenuous. He could only rely on transferring most of his attention to manage both sides.
Chu Zheng slowly got up and suddenly sensed something unusual.
After calculating for a moment, a flicker of confusion crossed his eyes.
According to the Soul Division's sensory feedback, he had spent at least a month on that star, yet here in the Taixuan Holy Land, only four or five hours had passed.
This significant disparity in the flow of time left him momentarily bewildered, unsure of what had gone wrong.
In the same universe, how could there be such a huge disparity in the flow of time?
This inevitably reminded him of a myth from a previous life.
A day in heaven, a year on earth.
...
...
At dawn.
Forty miles outside Yuncao City, among the desolate mountains.
A slightly ethereal gateway slowly opened, and dozens of figures, both men and women, walked out in single file.
Leading them was a woman in her early twenties, with long legs, fair skin, dressed in a green outfit, looking somewhat dashing.
She turned back, looked at the people following her, smiled, and cupping her hands in greeting, she said,
"Good morning, dear travelers. I am your guide for this trip, Zhuo Xiu, and you can call me Xiao Xiu. I would like to start by thanking you for your trust in 'Galaxy Travel Agency' and your great support."
"Our journey will last for seven days and six nights. I will take you to deeply understand an ancient dynasty that existed over five thousand six hundred years ago, similar to the Tianyao Federation."
"In this journey, I will enable you to personally experience what life was like for people living under those conditions back then."
At this point, Zhuo Xiu's expression turned slightly helpless, "Due to the current technological limitations of the Federation, time travel is not yet achievable, and we can only use this method to observe the lives of ancient people."
"Now, I will inform you of some regulations in advance..."
"First, please take good care of your valuables. If anything is lost, you will bear the responsibility yourself."
"Second, it is strictly forbidden to damage the local ecology or reveal any information about the Tianyao Federation to the natives of 'Dongan Star.' Violators will face substantial compensation charges initiated by the Galaxy Travel Agency; note: starting from five million Federation Currency, with no upper limit."
"Third, please ensure your personal safety. If you encounter danger, you may defend yourself. According to the peace law of the Tianyao Federation, volume five, article thirteen, the life safety of the citizens of the Tianyao Federation is of the utmost importance, and they possess unlimited right to self-defense."
"Therefore, damage caused in this defense, the Galaxy Travel Agency, will not hold you responsible."
