Chapter 460: Expectations Failed
Lu Qi and Cao Yi have already entered the treasure, but in 'Space Stillness', the ancient dispute has just solved the deadlock.
The immortal formation was broken open by Cao Yi from the outside. Gu Zheng was still in the cage formed by the magical power of the Thunder Tooth Sword. When he saw Gongsun Changsheng and Lu Qi escaping, Gu Zheng could have closed the cage and brought Miao with him. He ran away with Meow, but he didn't do that.
According to Qi Ling, there are generally only two ways to crack various formations. One is to crack from the inside, and the other is to crack from the outside. Due to the different formations, the difficulty of cracking from the inside and from the outside is different. The degree is also different.
The Immortal Formation is a very advanced formation along the way. This formation is small enough to be arranged with immortal power, and large enough to be arranged with the energy of heaven and earth. Complex immortal formations such as the Triple Immortal Formation are already considered Immortal Formations. It's an advanced formation.
Triple Immortal Arrays and even some higher-level Immortal Arrays have one thing in common. When the Immortal Array is cracked from the outside, if there are outsiders with powerful Qi in the Immortal Array, then the original Immortal Array space will be destroyed. will become a static state in space
In the Immortal Formation space, everything that originally belonged to the Immortal Formation will be still. For outsiders trapped in the Immortal Formation space, they will also be in a state of stillness. And this kind of stillness is very scary. If you can't get rid of the still state within an hour, you will die and become a part of the fairy formation space.
It is very difficult to get rid of the static state without the help of external force, unless you have the ability to move yourself with just a thought! This request sounds simple, but in fact it is not simple at all. Being trapped in 'space stasis' is an extremely special state. Immortal power cannot be used here. Even using the thought to sacrifice an immortal weapon is not possible. After all, The space here is static.
So how can you move while standing still? To put it bluntly, you must master the laws of space to a certain extent and use the laws of space to break the stasis of space!
From the perspective of Cao Yi, who understands the space of the Immortal Formation, those who are trapped in the 'space stasis' are bound to die, but for Gu Zheng, his desire to break his own stasis is just a matter of thought.
After all, Gu Zheng had already understood some space laws and had his own fairyland.
After all, Gu Zheng is the descendant of Tiexian, and the Tiexian order that has long been integrated into his body has a prehistoric dimension.
Although Gu Zheng easily got rid of his own stasis by entering the prehistoric space, it took some time to help Miaomiao get rid of the stasis. Because in the law of 'space stillness', if one person wants to help another person get rid of stillness, the power he exerts on the other person will be severely weakened.
When Lu Qi and Cao Yi entered the treasure, the motionless Miaomiao finally let out a long breath with the help of Gu Zheng.
"I have a very suffocating feeling. My thoughts are still there, but I can't feel my body at all."
Miao Miao stuck out her tongue at Gu Zheng and took an exaggerated deep breath.
"Is everything okay now?"
Gu Zheng smiled and pinched Miaomiao's cheek.
"It's okay." Miao Miao stuck out her tongue: "Sir, why didn't you run away that time?"
When Gongsun Changsheng and Lu Qi escaped, Miao Miao once looked at Gu Zheng. What she saw in Gu Zheng's eyes was not panic, but a faint smile.
"If you don't run away, it's natural to stay."
Gu Zheng's voice paused, and then he said: "Miaomiao, do you know why I insisted on staying in the killing array before?"
Miao Miao understood that when Gu Zheng said staying in the killing array, he meant that when Gongsun Changsheng asked him to leave before the killing array was activated, he insisted on staying.
"I originally thought that Sir wanted to kill those two people at the right time, but now it seems that is obviously not the case!" Miao Miao laughed.
"There are two reasons why I insist on staying. One is that I don't want any unpredictable variables to happen in the team, but I can't do anything outside the team."
When Gu Zheng said the first reason, Miao Miao felt warm in her heart and stuck out her tongue at Gu Zheng again. Miao Miao understood that the unpredictable variables naturally included her safety.
"The second reason is that after the Tianluo Cave was actually opened, your sister and I had a conversation. Your sister felt that there should be a source of evil in the immortal array or in the treasure."
"Tang Mo can repair his own damage by swallowing evil energy. I have always had great hope for Tang Mo and look forward to the day when it can be completely repaired. Logically speaking, this kind of strange evil energy should be Tang Mo's food. But the fact is that Tang Mo doesn't react at all to the filaments in the air! Your sister said that although the filaments can be regarded as Tang Mo's food, Tang Mo dismisses them because they are too small. "
"Then I was thinking, since Tang Mo didn't react to the filaments, and since there is a source of evil energy in the immortal array or treasure, would Tang Mo react to the source of evil energy? If it can produce so much evil energy, the source should be able to It was the right thing to attract Tang Mo, so I insisted on staying.”
After Gu Zheng finished speaking, Miaomiao immediately asked: "Sir, what is the situation now?"
"The current situation is that I haven't taken out Tang Mo yet, and I still don't know if my guess is correct!" Gu Zheng said excitedly.
"Your guess is correct!"
The voice of the weapon spirit suddenly sounded out: "The things inside the four skeleton spheres are the source of evil energy. They are definitely a great tonic for Tang Mo! This time, Tang Mo's repair level will be greatly improved, and even It’s even possible to become a high-level immortal weapon!”
"No way?"
Gu Zheng's eyes widened. Although he knew that the source of the evil must have different reactions, the evil energy required for Tang Mo's current repair was too huge.
It was only after Tang Mo devoured the evil weapon spirits in the nine-story blood tower that he went from a basic level of 95% repair to the current intermediate level of 20%.
The evil weapon spirit itself is an extremely rare creature, and there is no doubt about its power. Gu Zheng first saw the fairyland when it was displayed. Such an existence raised Tang Mo's repair speed from 95% at the elementary level to 20% at the intermediate level. Even though Gu Zheng had great hope in retributing the source of the evil spirit, he still felt that if it could Tang Mo's repair rate increased to 50%, and he was very satisfied.
However, now the weapon spirit told him that Tang Mo's intermediate repair would even be completed because of this. How could he not be shocked?
"There is a reason why I say this. I wanted to explore the inside of the skull sphere just now, but failed. The divine thoughts were blocked by a layer of extremely evil energy. If they were not constrained by the law of 'space stillness', they would only I am afraid that these extremely pure evil spirits want to come back with my spiritual thoughts! Such a situation can only show that this core is extremely extraordinary, and there are four such cores here. "
"I have to say that your luck is really good. Various coincidences have caused 'space stillness' to be generated. If there is no law of 'space stillness', even if your Tang Mo can swallow these evil spirits, with your current cultivation level, you can't Tang Mo may not be able to eat it, the source of evil energy in these four skeleton spheres is really extraordinary. "
The weapon spirit paused for a moment, and then said: "In addition, in addition to the source of evil, you have other gains. It's hard to say how big this harvest will be. This is also your opportunity!"
"Is there any gain? What do you mean?"
Gu Zheng's eyes widened, but he still didn't realize what the harvest that Qi Ling was referring to was.
"I will tell you this after Tang Mo has swallowed up the evil spirit!"
Looking inside, Qi Ling blinked at Gu Zheng, covered his mouth and laughed.
"good!"
Gu Zheng smiled, and then took Tang Mo out of the ancient space.
"Buzz..."
As soon as Tang Mo appeared, it immediately shook violently. At the same time, it conveyed an unprecedented desire to Gu Zheng, which wanted to swallow the contents of the skull sphere.
What's even more strange is that Gu Zheng has an extra feeling in his heart. This feeling comes from the four skeleton spheres. Gu Zheng can feel their fear of Tang Mo. This feeling is like seeing a nemesis.
Gu Zheng held Tang Mo and inserted the skull sphere.
Although this insertion did not reach the core, and the depth of the insertion was only the depth of a skull, this was an unprecedented breakthrough! In the process of breaking the formation before, neither Miao Miao nor Lu Qi caused this level of damage to the skull sphere. It seems that one thing is really destroying another!
Black light flashed on Tang Mo. On the originally still skull sphere, the facial bones of a hundred skulls were distorted, as if they were in extreme pain. In the process, the red light in their eye sockets was gradually swallowed up by Tang Mo Tang Mo. .
"Crash..."
As Tang Mo devoured it, the skull originally wrapped around the core turned into pieces of withered bones and fell off from the sphere. The original appearance of the sphere was gradually exposed to Gu Zheng.
The dark red ball looks like a huge amber. There is a faint shadow inside the amber, making it unclear what it is.
A strange and crisp sound came out, and Tang Mo, who was originally just pressing against the sphere, automatically penetrated some of the inside of the sphere.
The sphere itself was more pure evil energy. Tang Mo, who penetrated it, began to devour it crazily, and its degree of damage gradually increased in the process.
In about two minutes, the outer layer of evil energy was completely swallowed up, and Gu Zheng finally saw what the real core was.
The core is a hand, a palm with red hair!
Gu Zheng's heart was shocked, and the core of it was impossible for the weapon spirit to see through. Previously, when he was trying to protect himself, Lu Qi, who had added an intermediate immortal weapon to his body, hit it into the air and played with it as a ball.
Gu Zheng also thought that the core might be something weird, maybe even some kind of creature, but none of his conjectures were as shocking as the current hand.
What does a hand represent? What it represents is just a part of the body, which makes people think deeply!
Gu Zheng was still shocked, but Tang Mo didn't hesitate at all. He thrust forward again and pierced the red-haired palm.
"Click, click, click..."
After Tang Mo penetrated the red-haired palm, he clenched his fist. The explosion from the joints was as loud as thunder, and it made Gu Zheng's eardrums hurt!
"Gu Zheng, I have to say that the opportunity you got this time is really lucky!"
This was the first time Gu Zheng heard Qi Ling speak in a shocking tone.
Gu Zheng was also shocked. He swallowed and waited for Qi Ling to speak again.
"Let me tell you this! The body where this hand is located has been dead for who knows how many years, and the energy contained in the palm has been consumed for who knows how many times! Now it is like a broken The dead gecko's tail looks calm on the outside, but it will still twist instinctively when it is stung. "
"An instinctive fist clenching can break the law of 'space is still' and can cause such a level of noise. If this is not 'space is still' but in the outside world, this simple fist clenching can definitely produce rolling thunder. !”
"If a palm is like this, I can only tell you that when this body was alive, its strength was not even lower than that of a saint!"
Qi Ling's words shocked Gu Zheng to an extreme extent!
What is a saint? According to Qi Ling, Saint Immortals are the pinnacle of immortal cultivators. There are only nine Saint Immortals in the entire ancient world, including Tiexian!
Shocked, but Gu Zheng's eyes immediately brightened again: "Qi Ling, since this is a body part similar to the existence of a saint, does it have any other or better uses?"
"You have understood the way of food. What will you find when you look at it?" Qi Ling asked back.
"Ah? This is a palm! I didn't look at it differently." Gu Zheng sweated.
"I'm not letting you eat it, so just look at it from a Taoist perspective and tell me what you see." Qi Ling said.
"I saw a chaos and a red light. To understand it from the way of ingredients, it is a versatile ingredient, but at the same time it is an ingredient that does not match anything, is inedible at all, and has no grade!" Gu Zheng Zhen said.
"Yes, when the strength reaches that level, it contains at least several laws, and it can be regarded as a part of the Tao! Whether it is taking it or refining it, there are only two endings in common sense, either comprehending what it means The contained Tao will either be tolerated by the Tao or die from the backlash of the Tao!"
The weapon spirit paused for a moment, and then said: "You'd better not take any chances with it. Almost no one dares to think about this kind of thing. If someone doesn't get the Tao's backlash, even a saint will perish!"
"Today's shock, why one after another!"
Gu Zheng's heart was beating hard, and he couldn't help but take a deep breath: "Qi Ling, what's going on with Tang Mo? Is it because it is a dead thing, so it doesn't have to bear the backlash of Tao?"
Even after taking a deep breath, Gu Zheng still felt that his thinking was a little confused and he couldn't express what he wanted to ask clearly. However, the weapon spirit in his inner vision gave him an 'understanding' smile.
"Tang Mo's magical weapon also exceeded my expectations!"
The weapon spirit first sighed, and then said: "When you first got it in Tianshan, I thought it was a very high-level immortal weapon. After that, you recognized it as its owner. As a junior immortal weapon, first The magical power 'Mo Ran' contains the magic The power of the law makes me think that Tang Mo was originally a top-notch immortal weapon! Moreover, Tang Mo can also inherit the magical power of repairing the objects it uses. This feature makes me feel very interesting, and its repair is also useful. Looking forward to it.”
"Later, the evil weapon spirit was destroyed in the Chaos Tower. After Tang Mo swallowed the evil weapon spirit, he completed the basic repair and turned into an intermediate fairy weapon. To be honest, I am actually quite disappointed with Tang Mo's promotion. ! The reason I think you should understand is because of its second level of magical power."
"Tang Mo's second magical power was only largely retained, and the storage time of the magical power was inherited. This feature makes me really speechless! After all, if the thing used to repair Tang Mo is just a certain kind of plant, or a certain A kind of strange stone, nothing in itself It naturally has no magical power to inherit. This characteristic is inherently imperfect. It happened that after Tang Mo devoured the spiritual body with magical powers to complete the repair, he was still unable to inherit the spiritual body's magical powers. Its second level of magical power is even more flawed!"
Tang Mo devoured spiritual elixirs and inner elixirs and was able to inherit the properties of supernatural powers. Gu Zheng benefited from this when he was in the Ruins of Shu. Later, after leaving the Ruins of Shu, Tang Mo had successively devoured the demon spirits refined by the Blood Light Ancestor and even the core of the evil weapon spirit in the nine-story blood tower, but because the two were spiritual bodies, he did not inherit them at all. What magical powers.
"Tang Mo's second level magical power is okay! After all, when we were in the Ruins of Shu, because the storage time of the magical power was too short, every time we needed to use it, we had to quickly let it swallow the spiritual elixir or inner elixir to inherit the magical power. Only then, it is really troublesome to do so! Nowadays, its magical power storage time is very troublesome! It has been greatly enhanced, and I can safely let it eat what it needs to eat without worrying about wasting the hard-earned magical power due to the short storage time. What's more, this substantial enhancement does not take a year and a half. But as long as I don't use it, it will always exist." Gu Zhenghu Duandao.
"Why didn't you tell me that it can only inherit the magical power of a devouring object, and the magical power has not been available for a long time?"
The weapon spirit rolled his eyes and pointed out some imperfections in Tang Mo's devouring characteristics.
"It's still being repaired. Maybe it will become perfect in the future?" Gu Zheng said unwillingly.
"Okay, I was shocked at first, but how come it has become a daily bickering again?"
Qi Ling rolled his eyes again and continued talking about what he had just left unfinished.
"Because Tang Mo's second magical power was not ideal, I originally had lowered my expectations for it a lot. I even thought that even if it was completely repaired, it would just be a top-level immortal weapon that was not outstanding. But now, what Tang Mo has shown The difference forced me to redefine its grade!”
"In 'Space Stillness', there are two major things that were beyond my expectation! One is that the source of evil energy turned out to be a severed limb. You already know all the inferences about this severed limb, so I don't need to say it anymore. How awesome.”
"The second thing is of course about Tang Mo. If you hadn't owned Tang Mo, we would all have died here today! The instinctive reaction to severed limbs is not as simple as it seems now. You can break the 'space stasis' with just a squeeze of your fist. The law can cause thunder, won’t it attack? It’s just that it encountered Tang Mo, its nemesis, and Tang Mo restrained its attack!
Gu Zheng understood Qi Ling's words. After all, he was Tang Mo's master. He could feel Tang Mo's restraint on the red-haired palm! It was precisely because of his doubts about Tang Mo that he felt unable to express himself clearly when he asked the weapon spirit. After all, what he felt, what he saw, and even what he guessed were all shocking!
"Your Chaos Tower is a top-level immortal weapon, and your Fantian Seal is also a top-level immortal weapon! However, I have a feeling that Tang Mo is definitely an immortal weapon that surpasses the level of Chaos Tower and Fantian Seal!"
"In my understanding, top-level immortal weapons, as the name suggests, are already the top among immortal weapons. Although they are also strong and weak, they are still within a certain range. And Tang Mo gave me the feeling that it transcends That so-called top category! But in my previous knowledge, there is no immortal weapon beyond this category, so I can't give you an answer. Can you understand my expression? "
Looking inside, Qi Ling also looked shocked, while Gu Zheng nodded towards her.
Tang Mo had finished devouring the red-haired palm. The red-haired palm that could trigger thunderous movements with a fist finally turned into nothing. After devouring the entire skeleton sphere, Tang Mo's original 20% repair rate for the intermediate immortal weapon was completed at 50%!
"How is it? Has there been any change in Tang Mo?"
As soon as Gu Zheng took Tang Mo, who had swallowed the first skull sphere, in his hand, the weapon spirit hurriedly asked.
"Item Spirit, do you still remember what happened when Tang Mo completed 50% of the primary repair?" Gu Zheng asked rhetorically.
"Of course I remember, otherwise why would I ask you if it has changed in any way?" Qi Ling said.
"At the beginning, the magical power that Tang Mo could inherit by devouring the repaired object was only 75% of the original magical power. Later, after completing 50% of the primary repair, the magical power that Tang Mo could inherit by devouring the repaired object was even more powerful. It has been upgraded to 100% of the original magical power. Now, Tang Mo's intermediate repair has passed the 50% threshold. It has swallowed up the magical power that the repaired object can inherit, and its power has become 150% of the original magical power. , that is, one and a half times!" Gu Zheng said.
"Then does it inherit any magical powers?" The weapon spirit asked again.
"No, this is just a palm after all!" Gu Zheng shook his head.
"You can't say that. Although it's just a palm, it's not an ordinary palm. Use Tang Mo to swallow up several other skeleton spheres!" Qi Ling said excitedly.
"good."
Gu Zheng smiled slightly and inserted Tang Mo into the second skull sphere.
When Tang Mo devoured the second skull sphere, his speed was obviously much faster than when he devoured the first one. Wrapped in the core of this skeleton sphere was a paw with red hair.
After Tang Mo swallowed the second skull sphere, his original 50% repair rate became 80%.
"The energy contained in the soles of the feet is greater than that in the palms. The repair is now 80% complete, and the remaining two skull spheres should still be wrapped in one hand and one foot. It seems that your previous guess is not correct. Make a mistake, Tang Mo should be able to advance to a high-level immortal weapon this time!"
Gu Zheng's voice paused, and then he said: "But your expectations were once again disappointed. Tang Mo did not inherit any magical powers."
