Chapter 647 Gu Zheng's Plan
Although sneaking is slower, it can increase your knowledge a lot, especially when you disguise yourself as a mortal and walk in the mortal world.
Not only did the seven brothers learn a lot about human beings, Gu Zheng also gained a lot. He finally understood why Tiexian had to hide his identity and keep walking in the mortal world. During this period of stealth, Gu Zheng's cooking skills improved. The realm has improved again.
The state of cooking is different from the technique. The more you practice the technique, the better it will be. However, the state is not that easy. Just like practicing, it is not difficult to accumulate immortal power. What is difficult is to break through. If you cannot break through, you cannot improve the state.
The same goes for cooking. In fact, Gu Zheng's cooking realm has not improved for a long time. This time he sneaked into the secular world, his cooking realm has improved again, and he has understood a lot of things that he didn't understand before.
The advancement of cooking skills has accelerated the cultivation of Gu Zhengting Immortal Techniques. The Immortal Techniques of Tieting are based on cooking skills. The better the cooking skills, the faster the training. After more than half a month of sneaking closely, Gu Zhengting Immortal Techniques are based on cooking skills. Zheng Zheng's Tie Immortal Immortal Art has made great progress. Now his realm has reached the peak of the early stage of Golden Immortal, and he may enter the middle stage at any time.
This speed was much faster than he had expected.
"Breakthrough!"
Seven days later, in a ravine, Gu Zheng took a long breath and felt the strong immortal energy in his body. His realm finally improved again, reaching the middle stage of Golden Immortal.
The middle stage of Golden Immortal seems to be only one level higher than the early stage, but both the immortal power and the combat power are much higher than the early stage. In the early stage of the ancient war, you can fight with the later stage, and even defeat the later stage. After the middle stage, , the average Golden Immortal is no match for him in the later stage.
"Congratulations to Brother Gu!"
The seven brothers of the Yan family all came forward to congratulate them. When Gu Zheng made a breakthrough, they stood by to protect him and watched Gu Zheng advance with their own eyes.
They are also happy that Gu Zheng can advance and increase his strength. After all, the key to them overcoming the chaos lies in Gu Zheng. The stronger Gu Zheng can be, the better it is for them.
"Thank you seven big brothers!"
Gu Zheng also clasped his fists in thanks. These days of getting along have made their relationship better and more harmonious. People who don't know better will never guess that Gu Zheng is their "meat ticket" and these people are kidnappers.
"Brother Gu is so polite. It seems that Brother Gu has been on the verge of a breakthrough for a long time. In recent days, he has had an opportunity, so he breaks through!"
Yan Er smiled, while Gu Zheng smiled and said nothing. It was not that he was on the verge of a breakthrough before, but that his cultivation had accelerated recently, so he had broken through.
"Brother, I remember back then, it took more than five hundred years for us to reach the middle stage from the early stage of Golden Immortal. It was also after the middle stage that we developed spiritual intelligence!"
Yan Liu said with a smile, they were both ferocious beasts without intelligence back then, but they had a very good relationship as brothers, they were always together, and their cultivation speeds were basically the same.
It was also because they stayed together that they survived in the dangerous desert until they accidentally entered the cave of the Yan family's Daluo Jinxian, received inheritance and opened up their spiritual wisdom.
"That's right, it was more than five hundred years ago. We didn't understand anything at the beginning, but it went by very quickly!"
Yan Da laughed loudly. For the Monster Clan, more than five hundred years can go from the early stage to the middle stage of Golden Immortal. In fact, it is already very fast. The practice of the Monster Clan is inherently slower than that of humans.
For more than five hundred years, he has become a genius among the demon clan. There is not just one such genius, but seven of them.
"Brother Gu, how long did it take you from the early stage to the middle stage?"
Yan Liu asked casually, but before Gu Zheng could say anything, Yan Wu happily continued: "With Brother Gu's talent, it will definitely not take five hundred years, maybe three hundred years!"
"I feel that the time is shorter, two hundred years, the ancient brothers can go from the early stage to the middle stage in two hundred years!" This time it was Yan Da who spoke. In two hundred years, he was in the early to middle stage of Golden Immortal, and he was also a genius level figure among the human race.
"I feel like it's still too much. A hundred years, probably around a hundred years, Brother Gu has done it!"
Yan Qi continued. During this time, they had a deeper understanding of Gu Zheng. They also knew that Gu Zheng's strength was higher than those of the same realm. In addition, Gu Zheng was such an important figure in Shushan. In his opinion, a hundred years of Time is enough. If it were more, it would not show the difference in ancient disputes.
In a hundred years, from the early to mid-stage of Golden Immortal, he is definitely a genius among geniuses, and the object of protection of all sects. Such people will basically be promoted to Daluo Golden Immortal in the future.
"Brother Gu, how long did it take for you to break through?"
Seeing that Gu Zheng kept smiling and saying nothing, Yan San quickly asked. The others also looked at Gu Zheng curiously, wanting to know the exact answer from Gu Zheng.
"This, it will take about a year!"
Gu Zheng hesitated for a while, but finally told the truth. Gu Zheng came from the lower world. He had only been here for about a year, and most of that time was still on the road.
As long as they arrive in Shushan in the future, they will naturally know this. There is no need to deceive and conceal it now.
"Sure enough, one..."
Yan Qi smiled and nodded, but he stopped mid-sentence. All seven brothers looked at Gu Zheng, looking at him like a monster.
"Brother Gu, how long have you been talking about?"
After swallowing his saliva, Yan Qi asked again. The other six people's expressions were not much different from his, and they all stared at Gu Zheng.
"One year!"
Gu Zheng had no choice but to return to the Dao again. One year, one year, from the early stage of Jinxian to the middle stage. In fact, this time is neither too fast nor too slow for Gu Zheng. After all, it has only been a few years since he has been practicing.
"One year!"
Yan Qi swallowed his saliva again, stretched out a finger, and looked at each other with the other six brothers. In one year, the realm of Jinxian has broken through a level. This is not the realm of Tianxian, let alone the original realm of Qi transformation of Tianxian, but the realm of Jinxian. ah.
Not to mention the Golden Immortal, even if the Qi Transformation Realm can break through a small level in a year, it is very good. But when it comes to the Return to Void Realm, basically no one can do it so fast, let alone the Golden Immortal.
"As expected of Brother Gu!"
After a long time, Yan Qicai sighed and said something. At the same time, he became more determined to be with Gu Zheng. Gu Zheng was the key to them surviving the chaos.
One year from the early stage to the middle stage of Golden Immortality, how long does it take from the middle stage to the late stage, five years or ten years?
Then what about Daluo Jinxian in the later period, a hundred years?
With such a speed, it is not impossible to break through to a quasi-sage or even a saint in the future. Thinking of this, Yan Qi trembled violently, and his eyes looking at Gu Zheng became even more intense.
"I'm going to stabilize my lower realm first!"
They looked a little uncomfortable, so Gu Zheng hurriedly said goodbye and fled. The seven brothers consciously protected Gu Zheng. The better Gu Zheng performed, the greater their confidence. Even if they were to catch up, they couldn't even think about it. Drive away from Gu Zheng.
…
"So, the people who exterminated demons in Fengzhou City before are useless?"
On a hilltop, Master Ziyun was meditating in a Taoist temple. This was just an ordinary Taoist temple in the mortal world, and now it has become a temporary residence in Shushan.
Heavenly Court is investigating, Shushan is also investigating, and they have their own information channels.
They all noticed the letter Gu Zheng left for them. They were relieved to know that Gu Zheng was safe, but they did not stop chasing. No matter what, they had to rescue Gu Zheng from the seven ferocious beasts.
This is not only because Gu Zheng is their elder, but also related to the face of the entire Shushan.
"That's right, He Zudao was injured by the demon when he was at Wangu Peak. The injury has healed recently. Kunlun didn't let him out!"
The disciples who came to report nodded, and they inquired in more detail and clearly.
"If it's not He Zudao, then who could it be that day?" Master Ziyun seemed to be asking, but also seemed to be talking to himself.
"We are also thinking, who is pretending to be He Zudao Demon Slayer, and why are they pretending?" the reporting disciple said again.
"You're right. There's no need for him to pretend. It's not a bad thing to eliminate demons. Since he's pretending, he wants to hide his identity. And he must know He Zudao, or at least meet He Zudao!"
Master Ziyun nodded slowly, his eyes sparkling.
"We're wondering, is this person my great-uncle?"
The disciple who was reporting suddenly said something, and Master Ziyun immediately turned around, with a flash of light in his eyes, looking straight at the disciple.
"First of all, Uncle Master has this strength. Although Uncle Master is only in the early stage of Golden Immortal, ordinary Golden Immortals are no match for him. This has been proven as early as in the ranking conference!"
When Master Ziyun saw this, the reporting disciple hurriedly lowered his head and spoke quickly.
"Keep talking!" Master Ziyun did not interrupt him and allowed him to continue speaking.
"Secondly, since my uncle was able to send us a message before, it proves that he has a harmonious relationship with the seven ferocious beasts. At least the seven ferocious beasts did not harm him. If my uncle encounters monsters and harms people, but cannot reveal his true identity, It’s understandable to change into He Zudao’s appearance and take action!”
"This is just a guess. Those seven ferocious beasts are all powerful, and the same goes for their attacks."
Su Ming, who was next to Master Ziyun, couldn't help but say, Su Ming is also here, he is the one who must rescue Gu Zheng, Gu Zheng was snatched away from him, this can be said to be the shame of his life.
"This is what we were wondering about, why the ferocious beast didn't take action on his own, and why he agreed to take action without stopping his uncle. Later, we thought about it for a long time and finally came to a conclusion!"
"What conclusion?" Master Ziyun asked again.
"That means that Uncle Master has actually established a good relationship with the seven ferocious beasts, so he has a certain degree of freedom in action. Uncle Master himself does not want to be exposed, so he transforms into He Zudao to eliminate the monsters!"
The reporting disciple gritted his teeth and spoke slowly. He mustered up the courage to say these words. After all, their speculation was too incredible.
The kidnapped master uncle was with the monsters and helped them hide it. It seemed impossible no matter how hard it was.
"It's just that these reasons cannot prove it!" Master Ziyun slowly shook his head, reported to the disciples, raised their heads, and said again: "Master Master, in fact, we only derived these theories after backing up. What we backpedaled is, in the end, it is Who is pretending to be a fool?"
"He Zudao is an outstanding disciple of Kunlun. He also came from the lower world. He has only been in the wilderness for five hundred years. He doesn't know many people. We asked about all the people He Zudao knew from Kunlun, and even those who had met him, and then eliminated them. For those who are not strong enough, only about thirty people are left with this possibility, and it is only possible for them!”
"There are more than thirty people, but only seven have the conditions to do it. We have inquired about all seven of them, and none of them were in Fengzhou City at that time, and none of them had such a motive. In this way, it is impossible to pretend to be evil. An unsolved case was discovered, and then we blamed Uncle Master!"
"My uncle also came from the lower world, and he knows even fewer people. Except for our Shushan and Donglai Pavilion, there are only a few people in the Sanxian Cave who are in the Golden Immortal Realm. With my uncle's temperament, he will definitely not become With the appearance of those people in Sanxian Cave, if he wants to hide himself, there is nothing left to do!"
"Combining all of these, we can boldly infer such a result!"
The reporting disciple finished speaking in one breath, and then looked at Master Ziyun nervously.
Master Ziyun did not reply, but turned to look at Su Ming, who remained silent.
Su Ming was thinking about the possibility of such a thing. Although it was too hard to believe, it had to be said that this possibility really existed. These disciples did a good job. It was not easy for them to track down so many things with a small thing and a small clue.
"If it was really your uncle who did it, then what do you think is the extent of his relationship with the beasts now?"
Su Ming asked the disciple who reported it. The disciple raised his head and answered directly without hesitation: "Friends, maybe even more!"
"More?"
"Yes, we suspect that he even helped the beasts escape. Otherwise, the seven beasts have never left the desert. How could they hide for so long without being discovered by us? The hunting forces are not just us, even the Heavenly Court can't catch up, which is very abnormal!"
"Tell me, if it is really as you guessed, what should we do next?"
This time it was Master Ziyun who spoke. Obviously, the words of the disciple who reported had convinced him and Su Ming, otherwise the two would not ask this question separately.
"Find a way to secretly send a message to our uncle master and ask for the truth. If the matter in Fengzhou City was done by our uncle master, then they will not leave too far while hiding, at most 100,000 miles. Within this 100,000 miles, we will look for some key areas and leave our unique signal in Shushan!"
"And within this 100,000 miles, our key area is the west. Put more information here. As long as the uncle master sees it, he will definitely send us a message again!"
"Why is the key area in the west?" Ziyun Zhenren asked again.
"Because we speculate that the destination of our uncle master and his people may be Xiniu Hezhou, so we keep going west!"
After the reporting disciple finished speaking, Ziyun Zhenren and Su Ming did not speak, all closed their eyes and remained silent, as if digesting what the disciple said.
"Just do as you say. If there is a reply, notify me as soon as possible!"
When the reporting disciple was nervous, Ziyun Zhenren finally spoke. The reporting disciple's face turned purple and he immediately agreed to leave and do these things.
Many disciples in Shushan were searching for Gu Zheng's whereabouts, and even the Daluo Jinxian was dispatched, but there has been no news.
This disciple was just an ordinary Jinxian search disciple. There were only a few dozen people in their group, all of them were Jinxians, and there was no Daluo Jinxian. However, they analyzed so much, which surprised Ziyun Zhenren.
Although Ziyun Zhenren did not completely believe his speculation, there was no problem in letting them try it. Whether it was right or not, there was no loss for them to try it, not to mention that they had no other good ways now.
Five days later, in a mortal city, Gu Zheng and his group stayed in an inn.
In the city, the Yan brothers no longer asked to go to the restaurant. When they were outside a few days ago, Gu Zheng made some delicious food. After eating the food made by Gu Zheng, they decisively abandoned all the food in the mortal world restaurant. Compared with what Gu Zheng made, these foods were simply garbage.
No, even worse than garbage.
In such a short period of time, the seven brothers were spoiled by Gu Zheng and began to be picky about food.
In the inn, Gu Zheng separated from the seven Yan brothers, but he was silent. After entering the city, he found the secret sign left by Shushan and read the content of the secret sign.
Each sect has its own secret code. Understanding the secret code of the sect is a compulsory course for every disciple. As early as when he was at Wangu Peak, Gu Zheng had some understanding of this. For a Golden Immortal, remembering the meaning of these secret codes is just a day's work, which is very simple.
The secret code was given to him, asking him about his current situation and his relationship with the fierce beast, and finally asked him if he was the one who eliminated the monster in Fengzhou.
Fengzhou City is the city where they passed by and killed the pig monster on the way.
They asked such questions, proving that they had guessed or suspected. Gu Zheng did not want to hide it. After hesitating, he secretly left a secret code to explain his situation.
First of all, there was no problem with his safety. The seven brothers trusted him very much. Secondly, his real purpose was to take the seven brothers back to Shushan. The seven brothers were not bad in nature, or they were still very innocent, but they did not trust the Heavenly Court. He had tried to persuade them to no avail before, so he thought of a way to take them back to Dongsheng Shenzhou from Xiniu Hezhou, and then return to Shushan.
Gu Zheng originally wanted to return to Dongsheng Shenzhou to contact the Shushan disciples. Since Shushan had already contacted him in advance, he might as well not tell them about the situation first.
Finally, he said that as long as he took the seven people back, he would be sure to keep them, and he hoped that Shushan would accept them.
Leaving a secret message, Gu Zheng left again. Not long after, the secret message he left was checked by Shushan disciples, and the content of the secret message was quickly transmitted back to Ziyun Zhenren.
"Is it really like this?"
Looking at Gu Zheng's reply, Ziyun Zhenren widened his eyes and looked unbelievable.
The reporting disciple nodded excitedly. Their previous speculation was too crazy. In fact, even they themselves were doubting it. It was just that there was really no other way, so they thought of trying it. Unexpectedly, they succeeded in one try. They really contacted Gu Zheng.
Although they didn't know where Gu Zheng was, at least they knew the general direction and Gu Zheng's purpose. More importantly, they knew that Gu Zheng was completely safe, which made them feel at ease.
