Chapter 707 The Test of Humanity
Zhou Yang didn't expect that he and Zhu Zi would really meet again, and it would be on such an occasion.
When he found out that Zhu Zizhen was attacking the cave from outside, in order to prevent the formation outside from being completely destroyed by him, he had to go out first to stop the opponent and let him enter the cave.
"Excuse Zhou for taking the liberty. I don't know how Senior Zhu found this place?"
After inviting Zhu Zizhen to enter the cave, Zhou Yang inquired about Zhu Zizhen's intentions as a landlord.
He couldn't help being curious about it, this underground magma sea is vast and boundless, if Zhu Zi really came here by chance, he would never believe it.
However, after Zhu Zizhen heard his words, she did not answer immediately. Instead, she looked at him with the same astonishment and asked back: "This king is also very curious. How did Fellow Daoist Zhou appear here? And it seems that It's been a tough fight!"
Zhu Zi really remembered that the last time he and Zhou Yang parted ways in the world of cultivating immortals in Donghuazhou, Zhou Yang was only at the eighth level of the Golden Core.
Now it is only two hundred years since the two separated. Not only has Zhou Yang successfully conceived, it seems that he has conceived for a long time, and now he has cultivated to the second level of Nascent Soul.
Such a practice speed is extremely rare among human monks.
If only that's the case.
What surprised Zhu Zi was how Zhou Yang could appear in the magma sea deep in the wild jungle, and how could he occupy this unusual cave.
She has also experienced the formation outside the cave here, although it is not a big threat to her, it is absolutely difficult for ordinary monks in the early stage of Nascent Soul to pass.
What's more, she saw that Zhou Yang's breath was vain and his injuries were not healed. It was obvious that he had experienced an extremely intense life-and-death battle before.
The thing that puzzled her the most was that she found this place through sensing the breath of Suzaku, but now she has not found any traces and breath left by Suzaku here, which is too abnormal.
Too many doubts linger in her heart, making Zhu Zi really feel very uncomfortable.
She knew that if anyone could help her resolve these doubts and make herself feel better, it must be Zhou Yang.
As for whether Zhou Yang would solve her doubts, she wasn't worried at all, since she had been very kind to Zhou Yang.
Sure enough, Zhou Yang, who was asked back by her, did not show any displeasure on his face, but quickly nodded in response to her and said: "There is nothing you cannot say to others about this matter. Since Senior Zhu wants to know, let's just listen." The juniors come together one by one."
He immediately told the other party how he agreed to Zhao Yuanpu's invitation, how he came here with him, killed the [poisonous fire crocodile shark] alien beast, broke the protective formation, and fought against the "fire charm".
It's just that what he said was only the general result of the process, and he didn't explain some detailed things.
Especially the Suzaku aura that Zhu Zizhen wanted to know the most, did not mention it.
Even so, Zhu Zizhen was extremely surprised by what he said.
"I still remember that when I parted from Daoyou Zhou in the world of cultivating immortals in Donghuazhou, the fellow Daoist was only at the eighth level of the Golden Core. I didn't expect that now even the monks in the late Yuanying period were helpless [Fire Charm] fell in the Dao It's unbelievable that you have achieved such an achievement in such a short period of time!"
What she said was unbelievable, she meant it literally, that is to say, she suspected that Zhou Yang was bragging.
Facing her questioning, Zhou Yang was not angry, but just smiled modestly and said: "Everything is just a fluke. Compared with the real great supernatural powers like the senior, this junior's trivial means are not worth mentioning."
Zhu Zi really didn't know the big things he had done before, and suspected that his abilities were normal, and he didn't need to explain anything specifically.
His attitude, on the contrary, made Zhu Zi really a little confused.
I saw a flash of surprise in his eyes. After looking at him for a while, he suddenly said: "Didn't Zhou Daoyou just ask me why I came here? Actually, it's nothing. When I was comprehending the law in this underground magma sea a month ago, Suddenly, I sensed the aura of Vermillion Bird from the same origin emanating from this place, and then followed this aura to find this place, but I didn't expect to meet Zhou Daoyou here."
After finishing speaking, she looked at Zhou Yang with piercing eyes, and continued without blinking: "Since Daoist Zhou was here a month ago, do you know about it?"
really!
Brother Zhou secretly sighed in his heart, but he had already guessed the reason.
He looked at Zhu Zizhen, his eyes flashed, he nodded slightly and said: "If it's because of this, senior asked the right person."
Zhu Zizhen's face was overjoyed, and she immediately said seriously: "Please tell the truth to fellow Taoist Zhou."
Zhou Yang didn't speak, just raised his hand and called out [Suzaku Fan].
"This is……"
Zhu Zizhen's eyes suddenly changed, she looked at the vermilion feather fan in Zhou Yang's hand in shock, and then looked at Zhou Yang.
"This magic weapon is called [Suzaku Fan]. It was refined by a true immortal senior in the Transcending Tribulation Period ten thousand years ago, using the feathers and bones of the real Suzaku as the main material, and placed it on the tripod by special means. It took thousands of years to conceive in it, and it was finally refined into such an extremely powerful seventh-order fairy weapon!"
"The aura of the Vermilion Bird that senior sensed before, presumably it was released inadvertently by the spirit of the Vermilion Bird when the junior used this object to kill [Fire Charm]."
Facing Zhu Zizhen's shocked eyes, Zhou Yang told the origin of [Suzaku Fan] in a deep voice.
He knew what it meant to let Zhu Zizhen see 【Suzaku Fan】.
But he also knew that if he categorically denied that he didn't know, not to mention whether Zhu Zi would really believe it, even he himself would be sad about the test of his own heart.
At the beginning, Zhu Zi really did him a big favor, he was his real benefactor, and he also kept saying that he would never forget the other party's kindness, and would definitely repay the other party's kindness.
If he deliberately conceals the other party now, and doesn't tell the truth, then what face is there to say to repay the other party.
"You dare to take this thing out, are you afraid that the king will snatch it?"
Zhu Zizhen took a deep breath, looked at Zhou Yang sharply, and her voice was very cold.
When she said this, she was also thinking about the success rate of snatching [Suzaku Fan] by herself.
With her sixth-level top-rank demon king cultivation base and the geographical advantage of occupying the underground magma sea, even if she fights with those "half-step true immortals" on the ninth floor of the Nascent Soul, she is not afraid at all.
And although Zhou Yang has a seventh-level immortal weapon in his hand, his cultivation is only at the second level of Yuanying, and he is still injured. If he does it, Zhu Zi really feels that his chances of winning are at least eighty to ninety percent.
This result made her very excited.
But what she didn't expect was that after hearing her words, Zhou Yang responded with a calm face: "Don't be afraid, because there is no need for seniors to do this!"
"Oh, why is that?"
Zhu Zizhen's face froze, and she looked at Zhou Yang with surprise and doubt, her eyes full of curiosity.
She didn't know where Zhou Yang got the confidence to say such a thing, was it because she helped him once?
This time, she really guessed right.
I saw Zhou Yang immediately said: "Actually, when this junior got this [Suzaku Fan], he thought of dedicating it to senior to repay his kindness!"
"Hehe, what Fellow Daoist Zhou said is too hypocritical. Would you be willing to give up such a treasure to others?"
Zhu Zizhen had a disdainful smile on his face, looked at him with a face full of sarcasm and said: "If you really have such thoughts, it's not that you don't know the place where this king practiced, why haven't you seen you come to visit?"
No wonder she didn't believe Zhou Yang's words.
You must know that this is a seventh-order fairy weapon, a complete seventh-order fairy weapon!
There are not many such treasures in the entire "Spirit World", and most of the "half-step true immortals" at the ninth level of the Nascent Soul have never owned such treasures, let alone given them away.
Facing her ridicule and questioning, Zhou Yang was not angry at all, just nodded slightly and said: "This is the case, it is understandable for seniors not to believe it, but please listen to juniors' explanation first, and then make a conclusion before it is too late. "
Without waiting for Zhu Zizhen to respond, he continued: "With the strength of the senior, the world here is so big that there must be very few people who can pose a threat to the senior. you!"
"The younger generation was fortunate enough to witness a demon cultivator crossing the heavenly catastrophe of the true spirit. The power to destroy the world is indeed extraordinary. Without the protection of a powerful magic weapon, it is almost impossible to survive!"
"Just forgive me for speaking bluntly, senior. Although you are already in the sixth-level high-grade demon king realm, you are still far away from triggering the true spirit catastrophe."
"Since you are unable to induce the true spirit of Heavenly Tribulation in a short period of time, and you are so powerful that you are not afraid of any threats, dedicating this seventh-order fairy weapon to you, senior, is just icing on the cake and has little effect."
"The younger generation has just conceived a baby, has not yet achieved supernatural powers, and has big enemies such as the Yulong family stalking them. They just need this thing to protect themselves and ensure safety."
"So the junior is not reluctant to give up this thing, but just wants to use the power of this thing to protect himself for a period of time. After the junior has enough power to protect himself, he will go to the door and offer this thing to the senior in person, in order to repay the senior for his help at the beginning. Grace!"
What Zhou Yang said was eloquent and sincere.
But Zhu Zizhen's complexion did not change because of this, obviously he did not believe what he said.
She looked at Zhou Yang with a cold face, and said lightly: "When I was traveling in the mortal world of the human race, I once heard a saying, don't look at what others say, but look at what they do. This king thinks this statement is very reasonable .”
"Zhou Daoyou's words are so nice now, but when he actually does it, will his words and deeds be the same?"
Zhou Yang heard the words, but immediately replied without hesitation: "Your junior can swear to the heavens that what you said just now is true, and if senior wants to survive the true spirit catastrophe in the future, just come to find junior, and this junior will definitely give you up at that time." Offer this [Suzaku Fan] to help seniors overcome the calamity!"
When Zhu Zizhen heard his words, his complexion finally changed slightly.
If one's cultivation has reached the Nascent Soul stage and one dares to swear to the sky, the consequences of breaking the oath will be very serious.
But she didn't reveal the matter because of this, instead she squinted her phoenix eyes, looked at Zhou Yang with a gleam of coldness in her eyes and asked: "What if the king wants it now?"
Zhou Yang couldn't help being silent when he heard this.
After he was silent for a while, he suddenly waved his hand, and the scarlet feather fan in his hand flew out and landed in front of Zhu Zizhen.
"Then take it, senior!"
Now it was Zhu Zi's turn to be silent.
She looked at the vermilion feather fan in front of her, her eyes fluctuated, not knowing whether she should reach for it or not.
However, after Zhou Yang threw out the lupine, it seemed as if he had got rid of a certain heart disease, and he was indescribably relaxed.
He didn't lie to Zhu Zizhen, when he got the [Suzaku Fan], he really wanted to give her this seventh-level fairy artifact to repay the original kindness.
It's just that a series of things that happened later made him gradually selectively forget the original idea in his mind.
So he has been subconsciously resisting going to visit Zhu Zizhen, subconsciously not wanting to lose this life-saving trump card.
Now that he accidentally met Zhu Zizhen here, and happened to see through the existence of [Suzaku Fan], Zhou Yang couldn't avoid it and had to face this matter directly.
As far as he is concerned, losing the [Suzaku Fan] is extremely heartbreaking, and it will have a great impact on his own strength.
But it would be a good thing if he could end the favor he owed and no longer be burdened by favor.
But favors belong to favors, and he can give Zhu Zizhen the [Suzaku Fan] in advance in order to repay the favor.
But after this incident, the two met as passers-by.
Zhou Yang would not be willing to be friends with a person who likes to return favors.
Zhu Zi really hesitated because she also knew this.
If it were her before, she would definitely not hesitate at this time, and immediately take the [Suzaku Fan] away and fly away, no matter what Zhou Yang thinks.
But what Zhou Yang said before made her hesitate.
What she thought more about was actually what Zhou Yang said when he asked her for help when he was in the world of cultivating immortals in Donghuazhou.
At that time, she didn't take Zhou Yang's words seriously, and she helped Zhou Yang because she helped her a lot when she was in [Suzaku's Secret Realm], not Zhou Yang's so-called repayment in the future.
But now the facts tell her that what Zhou Yang said at the beginning has all come true!
This is definitely a cultivator with great luck and excellent talent for cultivation. His future achievements are beyond words.
If now, for a magic weapon that will definitely belong to him in the future, he ruined the deep fate and friendship that he had formed with others earlier, no matter how you look at it, it is short-sighted and extremely stupid.
The atmosphere of silence lasted for a long time. For Zhu Zizhen, this was really a difficult choice.
After going on like this for nearly a quarter of an hour, she finally fixed her eyes, waved her hand gently, and sent the vermilion feather fan back to Zhou Yang, and then said: "Since Zhou Daoyou still needs this thing for self-defense, then Zhou Daoyou will continue." Just keep this thing, and hope that Fellow Daoist Zhou will not forget what I said today."
Seeing this, Zhou Yang was not polite, took the treasure and put it away, and replied seriously: "Don't worry, senior, this junior always keeps his word, and in the future, as long as senior needs it, junior can give this thing to senior at any time! "
Zhu Zizhen nodded lightly to express his understanding, then changed the topic, looked at him curiously and asked: "From what Zhou Daoyou said earlier, Daoyou seems to have seen the true spirit catastrophe, I wonder if you can tell me about the situation at that time in detail."
"Of course."
Zhou Yang responded readily, and Dang even recounted in detail the scene of Mu Qingyun crossing the True Spirit Heavenly Tribulation that he had seen on [Donglai Immortal Island], and even presented the memory picture at that time for Zhu Zizhen to watch .
"What a powerful true spirit catastrophe! If this king's future true spirit catastrophe is as powerful, even with the help of a seventh-level fairy weapon, I'm afraid I may not be able to survive it safely!"
Looking at the terrifying thunder light in Zhou Yang's memory, Zhu Zizhen's complexion changed drastically, and he sighed with sadness on his face.
Zhou Yang heard the words, but he comforted him and said: "Senior, you are worrying too much. That Mu Qingyun has done many injustices and evils, and he is also a grass and tree spirit monster. Naturally, the Heavenly Tribulation is much stronger than the Heavenly Tribulation of other demon kings."
"In fact, there were two demon kings who watched Heavenly Tribulation with the younger generation at that time, and one of them was even a sixth-rank high-grade demon king who had awakened the blood inheritance memory in his body. The power of the Heavenly Tribulation of the Spirit is at least 30% weaker than that of Mu Qingyun's Heavenly Tribulation!"
"Is this true?"
Zhu Zizhen's eyes lit up, and she looked at Zhou Yang with surprise.
"The junior was very kind to that demon king fellow daoist at that time, presumably he would not have deceived the junior in this regard."
Zhou Yang talked about his relationship with the "Thunder Feather Demon King" again.
After Zhu Zizhen finished listening, the confident expression returned to his face, and he couldn't help saying: "If the future power of this king is really 30% weaker as Daoist Zhou said, then as long as you have the help of Daoist Zhou's seventh-level fairy weapon, this king will at least have I am 70% sure that I can survive the true spirit catastrophe!"
Zhou Yang complimented at the right time: "The junior believes that with the talent of the senior, he will be able to become a true spirit in the future!"
