Chapter 905
Kong Xuan called to stop, and Gu Zheng put him down, and then he took over the Immortal Realm. Gu Zheng also ended his transformation into the Demon Lord, and the two of them appeared in the space of the 'Qiankun Bowl' again.
"Indeed, I should be lucky!"
Kong Xuan sighed, looking at Gu Zheng up and down, as if he had just seen him for the first time.
"I didn't expect, I really didn't expect that a person who had only been cultivating immortals for a few years could have such magical powers and methods. I would never have believed it if I hadn't experienced it myself!" Kong Xuan smiled bitterly.
Looking at Gu Zheng who smiled and said nothing, Kong Xuan spoke again: "I am willing to admit defeat. Since we had an agreement before, now that I have lost, I should do things according to the agreement. Fellow Taoist, are you ready?"
"Ready." Gu Zheng said.
Gu Zheng and Kong Xuan sat cross-legged face to face. After building a bridge through spiritual thoughts, Kong Xuan replayed the scene in Gu Zheng's mind when he realized the five-color divine light that day.
The scene that reappeared in front of Gu Zheng was not unfamiliar to Gu Zheng, because it was what it looked like in the Kong Xuan Immortal Domain. However, this scene is different from Kong Xuan's Immortal Domain in some details. The concentration of Immortal Essence here is astonishing. At least Gu Zheng has never seen a place with such a concentration of Immortal Essence in the prehistoric times. Moreover, the richness of the immortal energy here is different from the artificially created richness of the immortality in the heaven. The artificially created immortal energy is in the form of mist, while this naturally generated immortal energy is completely integrated into the air, does not affect the line of sight at all, and is easier to absorb.
Gu Zheng understood that as the first peacock in the world, the scene where Kong Xuan realized Taoism should have happened not long after the world was first formed. Only in this new period of the prehistoric period would there be such a strong immortal essence. This belongs to Welfare when the world first came into being. And this kind of immortal essence transformed from the chaotic energy after the creation of the world has many magical features. It can breed living beings and spiritual objects, and it can also make it easier for living beings to achieve enlightenment and make it easier for some powerful people to appear.
What Gu Zheng wanted to follow was a green peacock, which was exactly the identity of Kong Xuan.
Although the peacock was born in a good time, it does not know how to practice Taoism, at least in the eyes of Gu Zheng. It is doing things like eating underground insects in such a beautiful place. This is really not suitable for its identity. . However, it is the first peacock in the world after all. It is incomparable to ordinary spiritual beasts in many aspects, such as in perception.
The peacock that was foraging for food raised its head and saw a person flying high in the sky. What Gu Zheng saw with the help of the peacock's eyesight was just a rough human shape.
As if sensing the peacock's gaze, the figures in the sky began to fly towards the peacock.
As the person came closer, Gu Zheng saw clearly that he was a middle-aged man. He was dressed in a white robe with a fairy-like manner, his hair was meticulously combed, and he had a kind smile on his face.
After seeing the middle-aged man's appearance clearly, Gu Zheng's heart almost jumped out of his throat. He had seen the middle-aged man's eyes when he understood the way of advanced life. This man was none other than Dao Zu Hongjun!
As if he felt the presence of Gu Zheng, Daozu Hongjun's gaze changed in an instant, but it did not stay on Gu Zheng for any longer, and just glanced away.
"Chirp chirp..."
The peacock screamed hostilely at the Dao Ancestor in the void, and its tail feathers spread out in a fan shape.
"The fact that you can see me means that you and I have some fate. Although you are the original spirit of Taichu, you have not yet enlightened your spiritual wisdom and cannot practice Taoism. I am opening your spirit for you now. I hope you can realize the Tao in the future."
Daozu flicked his finger, and a little light shot into the peacock's head. After the peacock's eyes blinked, his eyes became more alert.
"Would you like to follow me to Zixiao Palace to listen to the sermon?" Taozu asked Peacock.
"Don't go!"
Peacock has become enlightened and can communicate with others, but his answers are decisive. Gu Zheng can feel that Peacock has an almost instinctive wariness towards the unknown man in front of him.
In response to the peacock's reaction, Taoist Patriarch just smiled slightly. He looked at the peacock's tail feathers and said, "You have gorgeous feathers, but you don't have the corresponding supernatural powers. Now I grant you a creation, and your fate with me is over."
Daozu flicked his finger again, and a small ball shining with colorful light hit the peacock's tail feathers. The peacock's tail was just open, but it suddenly became colorful!
At the same time, Gu Zheng's eyes were dazzled as he saw the mysterious information that appeared in Peacock's mind.
Previously, in the depths of the Corrupt Swamp, Gu Zheng had searched for the soul of Ning Cui, a subordinate of King Jiao, which triggered an opportunity and saw the mysterious information representing the way of Ning Cui space, thus comprehending the magical power of "hidden space". The scene at that time was somewhat similar to the scene now. They were all messy and mysterious information waiting for Gu Zheng to put it together. However, both spellings are correct, and the mysterious information here in Peacock is much clearer than that in Ningcui! Ning Cui's mysterious information appeared in the form of raindrops. It was not easy for Gu Zheng to pick out the information that was useful to him among the countless information. But looking at Peacock, although the amount of mysterious information is quite large, there is no useless information mixed in it at all. All Gu Zheng has to do is sort this useful information.
With the Five Elements as the foundation, and all the information was useful, the whole process was really super simple for Gu Zheng. When he put the information together completely, there was a roar in his head. It originally belonged to Peacock. The information in his mind also appeared in his mind.
Gu Zheng realized it. He realized Kong Xuan's unique magical power - the five-color divine light!
There was a spiritual connection between Gu Zheng and Kong Xuan. When Gu Zheng understood from his mysterious realm, he naturally felt it immediately.
"this,"
Looking at Gu Zheng who had opened his eyes, Kong Xuan didn't know what to say for a moment.
Indeed, Kong Xuan really didn’t know what to say. He once taught the magical power of the five-color divine light to his disciples in the current situation, and his disciples were actually his descendants, the original body. He is also a peacock, and he also has a complete foundation of the Five Elements. However, Kong Xuan's disciples failed to comprehend the five-color divine light, but Gu Zheng, a human being, did. This left him with nothing else to say.
"Fellow ancient Taoist, congratulations!" Kong Xuan said.
"Thank you!" Gu Zheng said with a smile.
"I have gone through a lot of things this time I came out of the mountain, and I have a vague direction in my heart. I think I should go back and concentrate on practicing for a while." Kong Xuandao.
"Goodbye, let's go!"
Although Gu Zheng didn't say much, his name for Kong Xuan also changed. After experiencing these things, he believed that Kong Xuan would never be his enemy again.
After collecting the 'Qiankun Bowl', Kong Xuan went to the corpse of the mud spirit again to find the immortal weapon that was swallowed by the mud spirit.
All the immortal weapons swallowed by the mud spirit will be digested in a very short period of time. Therefore, it is naturally impossible for Kong Xuan to find his lost immortal weapons in the corpse of the mud spirit. What he gains from the body of the mud spirit is only Just two inner elixirs.
Gu Zheng also harvested two inner elixirs from Mu Ling's body. One inner elixir contained the Tao information of Mu Ling, and the other was just a pure inner elixir.
Gu Zheng kept the inner elixir containing the information of the Mud Spirit Dao until he could use it later. He soaked it in the 'Jade Meteor Spring Water' to see if he could gain enlightenment from it. As for the other ordinary inner elixir, Gu Zheng let the angry man take it as a tonic.
Gu Zheng had also seen the two inner elixirs that Kong Xuan got. Unfortunately, Kong Xuan didn't have the opportunity. The two inner elixirs were just ordinary inner elixirs.
Although the angry man was still thinking about the tonic taste of the Ni Ling inner elixir, Gu Zhengdu had already realized the five-color divine light because of Kong Xuan, so he was too embarrassed to exchange the inner elixir he had obtained.
After Kong Xuan left, Gu Zheng also came to the corpse of the mud spirit and began to arrange some restrictions and immortal formations to prepare for what he would do next.
This time Gu Zheng came to the core of the Corrupt Swamp, chasing clues to the Immortal Teleportation Formation, but this end of the Immortal Teleportation Formation was actually in the belly of the Mud Spirit, so the clues could be said to have been cut off at this point.
Although the clue to the Teleportation Immortal Formation has been cut off, Mu Ling should know a lot of useful information, and it is not certain that we can get new clues from him. Therefore, the purpose of Gu Zheng's current preparations is to resurrect Mu Ling. spirit.
When Gu Zheng resurrects the mud spirit, he will use his advanced way of life. This power of the way cannot be used easily by Gu Zheng, otherwise it will definitely attract heavenly punishment. However, this cannot be used easily. In Gu Zheng's current understanding, it means that the way of heaven does not allow him to directly create immortal cultivators through the way of advanced life. However, the purpose of resurrecting the clay spirit was only to search for its soul, and Gu Zheng would kill it later. In his opinion, this should be within the scope allowed by heaven.
All the preparations that should be made have been made, Gu Zheng activated the power of Tao and began to resurrect the mud spirit.
According to Gu Zheng's estimates, it would take at least a day to resurrect the mud spirit.
At the same time, somewhere in the core of the Corrupt Swamp, Di You and his clone opened their eyes at the same time.
The maintenance of the 'Star Destroying Child Mother Formation' has reached another stage. Di You and his clones can relax and no longer have to devote themselves so wholeheartedly. However, this relaxing time is very short, and Di You must seize the time to understand what happened during this period. The last time Diyou was so relaxed was during the short period after King Jiao's death.
After Di You's spiritual thoughts left the space where he was, he immediately received the report from his subordinates, and his expression became ugly.
"What's going on?" the clone asked.
"The Mud Spirit is dead. What happened not long ago..."
Diyou told the clone the news it received.
However, Di You's subordinates only knew that the Mud Spirit was dead, but they didn't know exactly how he died and what happened during the period, and Di You naturally couldn't know either.
"What a pity that the Mud Spirit is dead!"
"As expected, the first mud spirit will die, and the second mud spirit will naturally die as well."
"What now?"
The three clones of Di You each said one sentence.
"There are many of our subordinates in the body of the mud spirit. Under such circumstances, the enemy can still kill it. This strength should not be underestimated!"
Di You's voice paused, and then he said: "Fortunately, we had arrangements before. Now we just need to upgrade the arrangements."
"Do you think they will come? After all, the situation today is different from both the deep and peripheral areas. Will they be suspicious of this?"
The difference what Di You's clone said was that they were referring to the monsters that were previously sent into the mud spirit's body. They did not do anything to the memories of these monsters. Therefore, as long as the enemy launches a soul search for those monsters, they will know where they are.
"This is a conspiracy. Whether they are suspicious or not, coming here is going to die, but coming here is just to give us more time." Di You sneered.
Gu Zheng indeed found the monsters killed by Kong Xuan in the body of the mud spirit. However, since King Centipede and King Jiao had the ability to place memory shackles on monsters before, Gu Zheng did not have hope for ordinary monsters.
The day passed quickly, and Gu Zheng finally resurrected the mud spirit.
The resurrected Mud Spirit had no chance to struggle and resist. Those immortal formations and restrictions that Gu Zheng had set up before were not just a piece of cake. What's more, there is no inner elixir in its body, so even if it is resurrected, it will have no strength.
The mud spirit's resistance could not stop Gu Zheng, and Gu Zheng soon completed the search for its soul.
"Sir, how is it?"
Seeing Gu Zheng leave Mu Ling's body, Miao Miao, who had been on guard outside, asked.
Gu Zheng told Miao Miao and others the useful parts of Mud Ling's memory. There were three important things.
The first thing: Mud Spirit knows where Di You’s lair is.
The second thing: Diyou assigned some monsters to come into the body of the mud spirit and wait for the enemies who came to look for clues.
The third thing: Mud Spirits were created by Di You, and there are four in total.
"Sir, is the memory of the mud spirit false? The first mud spirit we met, sir, also searched for its soul, but did not get any information about other mud spirits from it!"
Because Gu Zheng didn't explain in detail, Miao Miao looked very confused.
"This mud spirit is the first mud spirit created by Di You. After it first took shape, Di You took some things from its body and told it to create three other mud spirits. As for memory, There's nothing wrong with this, I didn't find any traces of being tampered with in its memory," Gu Zheng said.
"There are actually two other mud spirits. These things are very annoying!" Butterfly Spirit frowned slightly.
As long as they don't fall into the body of the mud spirit, Butterfly Spirit, Miaomiao and Angry Man are not afraid of the mud spirit. However, none of the three Butterfly Spirits have the strength to kill the Mud Spirit alone in an environment like the Corrupt Swamp.
"It's okay if one appears alone. If the other two are together, this is indeed a troublesome thing, especially their forbidden air magical power." Gu Zheng said.
"Since Diyou has assigned some monsters to wait for us inside the mud spirit, I'm afraid the other two mud spirits must be together. Moreover, they are most likely still on our way to Diyou's lair. ." Die Ling said.
"This is a very possible thing, but knowing that it is more dangerous, the 'Rift Canyon' is also a place that must be visited. This time I came to the Corrupt Swamp to look for that misty opportunity, and I happened to encounter these different places in the Corrupt Swamp. It’s unusual, this makes me feel that the so-called opportunity must be with Di You!”
The 'Diken Canyon' that Gu Zheng mentioned was a place he learned after searching for the souls of mud spirits. It was also where Di You's lair was.
The ‘Crack Canyon’ is located in the center of the core of the Corrupt Swamp. It was opened two years ago because of Emperor You’s needs. However, the Mud Spirit didn't know much about the 'Crack Canyon'. It had only been to that place once before Di You set up a teleportation formation in its body, and since then it has been unable to move in a large area.
"The environment of the Rift Canyon is special. It feels like a trap. Everything else can be put aside. Just during the battle, if the formation that holds the canyon suddenly fails, it may be the end of us. What a disaster!" Miao Miao said worriedly.
"From now on, you don't have to follow me. Because the environment in the Rift Canyon is more dangerous, I want to explore the situation alone first. In my opinion, Diyou doesn't necessarily know how many of us there are, so he won't let you "Follow me, I don't want to reveal my strength too much."
Gu Zheng made his decision, and Miaomiao and others didn't say anything else. Those who should return to the primitive space should return to the primitive space, and those who should enter the Chaos Tower should enter the Chaos Tower.
From Gu Zheng's current location, it takes about ten days to fly to the Rift Canyon.
Ten days passed quickly, and nothing special happened during this period. Gu Zheng still didn't encounter a single monster during the journey.
On the surface, it looks like an ordinary swamp scene, but Gu Zheng knows that this is the effect of the phantom array. If there is no way through the phantom array, the real crack canyon will not be discovered at all. If he hadn't known about this from Mud Ling in advance, he wouldn't have noticed anything unusual here given Gu Zheng's skills in formations.
Using the method he obtained from the Mud Spirit, Gu Zheng successfully passed through the illusion array. After his vision went dark and then brightened, the scene in his eyes had changed drastically.
Gu Zheng saw the so-called rift canyon, and the feeling it brought to Gu Zheng was enough to be called shocking! Even though Gu Zheng was flying in the air and even though his eyesight was very good, he still couldn't tell at a glance how long the Rift Canyon was! What he could see was the width of the Rift Canyon, which was already a thousand feet wide.
The existence of the unknown formation makes the two walls of the canyon as neat as a knife, which also highlights its magnificence. After all, this is a canyon that exists in a poisonous swamp. If the mud behind the two walls surges into the canyon, the scene will be terrifying just thinking about it.
“Can this really be called a canyon?”
Gu Zheng lamented the hugeness of the Rift Canyon.
"Be careful." The weapon spirit warned.
"knew."
Gu Zheng replied and immediately flew towards the crack canyon.
Although he was flying towards the Rift Canyon, there was no shadow of Gu Zheng in the sky because he was in a 'space hiding' state.
'Space Hiding' is a special space magical power that Gu Zheng realized by chance when searching for the soul of Ning Cui. This magical power is much better than ordinary stealth methods. It is not only more difficult to be discovered, but more importantly, after using this magical power, he can still maintain the state of flying, which is something that ordinary stealth methods cannot do at all.
'Space Hiding' consumes very little power of Tao. Gu Zheng has been traveling in this state for the past few days. He believes that even if he has entered the Rift Canyon, the enemy has not discovered it yet.
