Qi Cultivation Starting from the Repair Panel-Chapter 538 - 377: Great Saint?!

Chu Zheng was momentarily stunned, and his expression changed.

Was this an attempt to recruit him?

If it had been before he met the Moonlight Immortal Ancestor, he might have considered Ji Shanming’s words.

But now, he was somewhat indifferent to it.

His sights were set on the Ancestral Realm. As long as he could become an Immortal Venerable, the Moonlight Immortal Ancestor was willing to protect him until he became an Immortal Emperor. There was no need to worry about threats from within the Immortal Alliance; he could also use the Immortal Alliance as a protective umbrella to avoid many dangers.

As for the Martial Hall…

The situation within it was too complicated. A Great Saint of Martial Path had already been sent to kill him. Whoever could command a Great Saint must be someone high up in the Martial Hall.

Moreover, Song Lingxue was also in the Martial Hall, adding too many uncertainties and high risks.

Although he hadn’t fully grasped the depth of the Immortal Alliance, at least one Ancestral Realm had spoken to him.

Comparing the Moonlight Immortal Ancestor to the Great Saint before him, it was clear who held more weight.

After a moment of hesitation, Chu Zheng sent a voice transmission:

‘The Great Saint must be joking.’

He decided not to take Ji Shanming’s words seriously and prepared to dismiss the matter vaguely.

The next moment, Ji Shanming’s voice rang out again:

‘I’m not joking. Junior Sister Song is now the Hall Master’s true inheritor. In just a short time in the Chaos Sea, she has ascended to the Great Saint Realm. With her talent and yours, there’s a place for both of you in the heavens—past, present, and future.’

Chu Zheng was about to respond instinctively, but was shocked at what Ji Shanming had just said:

‘You’re saying Lingxue has already become a Great Saint?!’

‘It just happened recently. Few in the Martial Hall know about it. She’s highly valued by the Hall Master. I trust you understand the implications, so I won’t elaborate.’

With that, Ji Shanming turned back to the chariot.

The Six-winged Celestial Horse spread its wings again, and the chariot rolled across the starry sky, heading to the next Heaven Pass.

Some Martial Saints with relatively lower cultivation stayed behind—fifty-three in total.

Obviously, Ji Shanming had already assessed the situation of the Qi Water Star Domain, understood the positions of the three Heaven Passes, and had made appropriate arrangements.

Looking at the Martial Saints left behind, Chu Zheng’s mind was a bit unsettled.

In Song Lingxue’s previous transmissions, she always mentioned her progress, but whenever he inquired in detail, she would brush it off lightly.

Over time, he stopped asking. But now, upon learning she had ascended to the Great Saint Realm, he wondered why he wasn’t informed at all.

Though this was joyous news, Song Lingxue never hinted about it in her transmissions. He didn’t even know when she entered the Martial Saint Realm.

Soon, Chu Zheng’s expression grew heavier.

Song Lingxue not telling him about her breakthrough to the Great Saint Realm indicated that it wasn’t enough to change her situation.

She must have learned something he didn’t know. Otherwise, the pressure wouldn’t be this great, nor would she be in such a hurry to advance.

Since entering the Chaos Sea, nearly a thousand years had passed.

In those thousand years, she went from not even being a Semi-Saint to becoming a Great Saint—a speed that was excessive, even for the Martial Path.

The Great Thousand World within the Chaos Sea was far more complex than the Great Universe.

And advancing in Martial Path greatly impacts one’s vitality and longevity. Achieving such progress in a thousand years must have come with heavy, unknown costs.

“You’ve entered the Great Saint Realm?”

Chu Zheng sent a voice transmission and then instinctively wanted to ask why she hadn’t mentioned it before.

After hesitating for a moment, he suppressed the thought. If Song Lingxue hadn’t mentioned it, there was likely a reason.

With different flows of time, a response wouldn’t come immediately.

Chu Zheng gathered his thoughts, looked at the Martial Saints before him, and approached with Pang Tianlei to explain the array near the Heaven Pass.

Martial Saints were generally difficult to deal with, but to Chu Zheng and Pang Tianlei’s surprise, these Martial Saints were very cooperative and obedient.

Perhaps it was Ji Shanming’s instruction or maybe there was another hidden reason.

……

……

Due to the significant time difference, it was a few days before Chu Zheng received Song Lingxue’s transmission.

The content surprised him.

[Where are you now? Have you seen the Hall Master of the Martial Hall? Has he done anything to you?]

The wording was filled with concern. From this, it seemed Song Lingxue had only informed the Hall Master about her breakthrough.

How, then, did Ji Shanming know?

After some thought, Chu Zheng replied with a transmission detailing his encounter with Ji Shanming.

After a few more days, he received Song Lingxue’s response.

[This person shares the Hall Master’s surname, suggesting he is a descendant and may not know much. However, he likely has no ill intentions.]

[The Martial Hall is now divided into two factions, some wanting to kill you. Whenever possible, stay away from martial people.]

[I had a fortunate encounter and managed to break through, though I received some minor injuries. I planned to recover first and then tell you.]

[I should be able to join you soon.]

[Wait for me.]

Reading the content, Chu Zheng silently wrote a transmission:

“What trouble have you encountered?”

After hesitating for a long time, he dismissed the transmission without sending it.

If even a Great Saint of Martial Path couldn’t resolve the trouble, what could he do about it, other than adding to his worries?

Perhaps this was why Song Lingxue had chosen not to mention it.

Remembering the last two lines of her transmission, a flash of surprise crossed Chu Zheng’s eyes.

The Ninth Order was the limit to entering the Chaos Sea.

If he were in Song Lingxue’s position, without reaching the Tenth Order’s threshold and without external disturbances, he wouldn’t leave easily.

So, what level had Song Lingxue’s cultivation reached now?
