Chapter 907
According to Gu Zheng's order, Miaomiao and Nuhan had already started to teach Fairy Fengming a lesson in the Chaos Tower.
Fairy Fengming was already injured, and she had to face Miaomiao and Nuhan. How could she be a match for them? It was inevitable that she would suffer some physical pain.
For immortals, physical pain was nothing. Even without healing pills, they could recover quickly through immortal power, not to mention that the one who suffered physical pain was a quasi-saint.
Gu Zheng knew that physical pain was nothing to Fairy Fengming, but he just wanted Fairy Fengming to remember this warning, because she had provoked someone she shouldn't have provoked.
"Do you feel okay?"
Gu Zheng's voice entered the Chaos Tower, like thunder echoing in the air.
"I don't feel very good." Fairy Fengming smiled bitterly.
"Tell me, what happened to you guys!" Gu Zheng asked.
Regarding the previous punishment by Miaomiao and Nuhan, Fairy Fengming did not fight back, but was just passively defending, which also made Gu Zheng less angry.
After being beaten up first and then questioned, Fairy Fengming did not show any temper. She told them what happened in the Corrupt Swamp.
Fairy Fengming set out for the Corrupt Swamp on the same day as Gu Zheng, and the only person traveling with her was Fairy Yangliu.
Although Fairy Fengming and Fairy Yangliu had fairy weapons with extremely fast flying speeds, they did not have the magical power of "Meteor Chasing the Moon", so they naturally arrived at the Corrupt Swamp much later than Gu Zheng.
However, Fairy Fengming and her companions were not like Gu Zheng and others. They did not stay in the periphery or deep layers for long, so they reached the core of the Corrupt Swamp earlier than Gu Zheng and others.
In the core of the Corrupt Swamp, Fairy Fengming met Maitreya, Posuo and two other Bodhisattvas of Buddhism, and the six of them searched in the core together.
Among the six people, Maitreya knew the most about things outside the circle. Moreover, before meeting Fairy Fengming and the others, Maitreya also caught a monster in the core of the Corrupted Swamp. The soul search of the monster also let Maitreya know that the ruler deep in the core of the Corrupted Swamp is called Diyou, and Diyou is in the Rift Canyon.
After finding the Rift Canyon, Maitreya learned the entry method through the soul search of the monster, and took Fairy Fengming and the others into the canyon to find out, and then what Gu Zheng saw happened.
Maitreya's understanding of the fairy formation in the Rift Canyon is not as good as the weapon spirit. The weapon spirit can know in advance that the top of the canyon will be closed, but Maitreya is late to realize it, and thus missed the chance to escape.
However, Maitreya knows more about the mother formation deep in the canyon than the weapon spirit. Through the subtle changes in external energy, he judged that the mother formation deep in the canyon is in a special period. At this time, Diyou, who is responsible for maintenance in the mother formation, will find it difficult to get out. But it is a pity that Maitreya still knows too little about Diyou's power. He didn't even know about the two mud spirits, and finally paid a heavy price for underestimating the enemy.
"What are you going to do next?" Gu Zheng's voice sounded again.
"Next, I hope that Daoist Gu can show mercy and take me out of this crack!"
Without seeing Gu Zheng, Fairy Fengming could only smile foolishly at the air.
"Taking you out of this crack, wouldn't that go against your original intention? So I don't plan to take you away from here!" Gu Zheng said.
"Ah?"
Fairy Fengming's eyes widened at Gu Zheng's words, and she quickly smiled and said, "I don't quite understand what Daoist Gu means. Do you plan to abandon me, or do you want me to explore this canyon with you again?"
Gu Zheng did not answer Fairy Fengming immediately, but asked the spirit of the weapon: "Why do I feel that this Fairy Fengming is not the Fairy Fengming I know? She doesn't have the arrogance of Fairy Fengming!"
"Could it be because she is in a weak position?" The spirit of the weapon frowned.
"No, this suspicion is just a feeling." Gu Zheng said.
"Is it Fairy Fengming? Can't you investigate her in depth?" The spirit of the weapon said.
"A gentleman can be killed but not humiliated! If I forcefully probe her body, it would undoubtedly be like stripping her clothes!" Gu Zheng said.
"You almost killed me this time. I just asked someone to deal with you just to get a little interest. As for how I will treat you in the future, it all depends on whether you are honest or not!" Gu Zheng said to Fairy Fengming.
"Honest? What do you want to do, Fellow Daoist Gu?" Fairy Fengming said cautiously.
"Answer my question, who are you?" Gu Zheng's voice turned cold.
Fairy Fengming bit her red lips tightly and did not answer Gu Zheng's question immediately. And her attitude also told Gu Zheng that his feeling was not wrong, this person was indeed not Fairy Fengming!
"If I answer Fellow Daoist Gu's question truthfully, what will Fellow Daoist Gu do to me?" Fairy Fengming asked.
While Fairy Fengming was thinking, Gu Zheng was also thinking. He originally wanted to take Fairy Fengming to break through the Rift Canyon together, because Fairy Fengming's magical powers were very useful! It was for this reason that he did not kill Fairy Fengming directly after being tricked by her.
However, since this Fairy Fengming was not the real Fairy Fengming, the original idea had to change. Everything had to wait until he had explored the other party's body and had more information.
"I need to find out who you are and how to deal with you. This will depend on your identity! Relax your body. If you dare to resist, then only death awaits you!" Gu Zheng said.
"You..."
Gu Zheng's tough attitude made Fairy Fengming grit her teeth.
"I only give you three seconds to think about it!" Gu Zheng said.
"Okay, come on!"
Before Gu Zheng could count the seconds, Fairy Fengming, who seemed to have figured it out, sighed and closed her eyes. Even if Gu Zheng was very well-behaved, even if he simply wanted to find out who she was, at least this body had no secrets the moment his spiritual thoughts invaded.
After exploring Fairy Fengming's body, he found no unusual ancient contention, and let his spiritual thoughts enter Fairy Fengming's mind, where he found a familiar divine thought.
The mind also carries a person's energy, so Gu Zheng also knows who is controlling this body.
Things were not as bad as Gu Zheng thought. The person controlling Fairy Fengming was not some monster, but her junior sister, Qixuan, Tianwu's disciple who transcended the tribulation!
"The investigation is also out of necessity. It's equal to what you did to me before. What does Fairy Qixuan think?"
Gu Zheng's divine thoughts exited Fairy Fengming's body, and her voice softened a lot.
Fairy Qixuan's impression of Gu Zheng was pretty good. At least she showed a kind smile to Gu Zheng when she was in the Bajing Palace. Afterwards, she even took the initiative to come and clink glasses with Gu Zheng at the heavenly gathering.
"Why do you need to ask me, fellow ancient Taoist? You've already been so tough anyway. Whatever you say, I'll just do it!" Fairy Qixuan said angrily.
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Gu Zheng smiled: "Fairy is generous, let's let this matter go! Later, I will give the fairy a jar of the 'Xingxu Drink' I just brewed not long ago, which can be regarded as an apology!"
Some things don't need to be taken too seriously, not to mention that the other party is a female cultivator. Gu Zheng doesn't want to argue about who is right and who is wrong.
"Okay! Last time I ate the delicacies cooked by fellow Taoist in heaven, but I didn't drink the fairy wine brewed by fellow Taoist. Now it seems that I am going to get my wish!"
Fairy Qixuan also smiled, as if the unpleasantness just now had never happened at all.
For Fairy Qixuan, when her body is probed, the person who suffers the loss is Fairy Fengming, not her. As for what will happen to Fairy Fengming and Gu Zheng in the future, it has little to do with her. Besides, the cause of the incident was that she provoked Gu Zheng, and Gu Zheng apologized after the investigation, so she had no reason to keep a straight face anymore.
"Fairy, what is going on? How can your spiritual mind control Feng Ming's body?"
Gu Zheng was very curious. Fengming was a dignified quasi-sage, but Qixuan was only the pinnacle of Daluo Jinxian. If he hadn't discovered that the matter was indeed like this after investigation, he would not have been able to believe that such a thing existed.
Qixuan hesitated for a moment, but finally chose to tell the truth: "Master wanted to help me become a quasi-sage. He cast a spell to allow me to temporarily control Senior Sister Fengming's body, so I ended up looking like this."
Qixuan, who is also a disciple of the Holy Immortal, said such words to Gu Zheng, which can be regarded as taking a certain risk. After all, once you are promoted to quasi-sage, you will really be qualified to compete for the holy position, and this is a place that the saints and immortals cannot control.
Gu Zheng naturally saw Qixuan's hesitation. He smiled and said to Qixuan: "Although there is competition among the disciples of Dujie, as long as the fairy does not take the initiative to provoke me, I will not do anything to the fairy. Here’s the thing. In my opinion, it’s useless to suppress those who can get the holy throne, and it’s useless to fight against those who can’t get the holy throne!”
"Thank you, fellow Taoist!"
After hearing what Gu Zheng said, Qixuan's original worries were finally put down.
"Speaking of which, becoming a quasi-sage through this method has probably failed, right?"
Saints and Immortals all have the ability to help their disciples become quasi-sages, but the methods they use are different. Gu Zheng is also very curious about the method used by Saint Tianwu. At the same time, Gu Zheng was also a little shocked in his heart. The Heavenly Dance Saint Immortal really worked hard to help the disciples who were crossing the tribulation to become quasi-sages! Let her control the bodies of the early disciples to come to this poisonous swamp? Even if something unexpected happens, it will only be the early disciples who lose. As for the disciples who have overcome the tribulation, what they lose is just some spiritual thoughts.
"Of course it's gone. If I have become a quasi-sage, my spiritual thoughts should be separated from my senior sister's body."
Knowing that Gu Zheng was curious about this matter, Qixuan's voice spoke again: "This is a way to help people become quasi-sages from the state of mind, and seek breakthroughs by facing dangers. I have already seen the dangers in this canyon. , it should also be an opportunity for me to enter the quasi-sage, but it is a pity that I have to give up!"
"Although I don't understand this method of helping people become quasi-sages, according to common sense, since breakthroughs start from the state of mind, then retreating when you see danger will inevitably leave flaws in your state of mind, thereby increasing your vulnerability. How difficult it is to become a quasi-sage!" Gu Zheng said.
"My fellow Taoist guess is correct, but there is nothing we can do about it! Even if I continue to push forward, even if I fail, I will only lose some spiritual power, but I cannot let my senior sister perish because of this for my own sake!" Qi! Xuan smiled bitterly.
"Fairy, just join forces with me to break into this rift canyon. This is not a matter of death!" Gu Zheng said seriously.
"Fellow Taoist being able to survive the 'Immortal-Destroying Thunder Tribulation' is an affirmation of strength! But Senior Sister Yang Liu has died in front of me, and I..."
Fairy Qixuan couldn't continue talking. When she mentioned Fairy Yangliu, she suddenly looked very sad and her mood was very low.
Looking at Fairy Qixuan, Gu Zheng understood why Tianwu Saint used her state of mind as a breakthrough point for her to become a quasi-saint. Her state of mind was indeed unstable, and even a little bad. She didn't have the courage to fight harder and harder in this matter.
However, Fairy Qixuan was not without merit. Before Gu Zheng survived the "Immortal Destruction Thunder Tribulation", Fairy Qixuan had always been the fastest cultivator among the Saint Immortal disciples who survived the tribulation. It took her only a hundred years to cultivate from the initial stage of Qi transformation to the peak of Daluo Jinxian. This was also a jaw-dropping speed! Moreover, because she had a rare "Seven Mysterious Constitution", her growth potential had always been favored by all Saint Immortals.
"Fairy, if you really want to quit, I think you will let down many people, your master, your senior sister, and yourself! Going through this Rift Canyon with me is really not a dead end! I can only say this much. If the fairy still chooses to quit, as long as the time is right, I will send the fairy out of the Rift Canyon first."
Gu Zheng did not speak to Fairy Qixuan anymore, because at this moment, the golden wall that Maitreya laid before his death showed signs of disintegration.
The mighty enemy flew towards Gu Zheng, and Gu Zheng quickly sank down.
The spirit of the weapon was not very clear about the specific exploration range of the Aotianzhou. All Gu Zheng could do was to keep a certain distance from the danger as much as possible.
A thrilling scene appeared. The monsters knew that Fairy Qixuan did not escape, so they were looking for her in this closed space.
Gu Zheng did not have to worry about ordinary monsters, because the magical power of "hiding in space" allowed people to truly integrate into space. Therefore, unless he is found and there is a way to force him out of this state, he cannot be touched at all.
However, Gu Zheng can ignore ordinary monsters, but he cannot help but worry about the mud spirit and the Aotian Boat.
The mud spirit itself has a good control over the way of space. Gu Zheng is not sure whether this kind of monster can sense his existence, so he can only stay as far away from them as possible.
As for the Aotian Boat, it is a more headache for Gu Zheng! Gu Zheng already knows its detection range, because more than a dozen light beams were shot from the Aotian Boat, and the light beams swept back and forth in the space, trying to find some clues. Fortunately, the enclosed space is large enough, and the light length of the Aotian Boat is limited, which also gives Gu Zheng some possibility to avoid it.
The whole search process lasted about half an incense stick. Gu Zheng, who had been walking on a tightrope, finally breathed a sigh of relief. The monsters evacuated in a mighty manner, and the barrier that closed the rift canyon disappeared.
"It seems that the operation of the mother array has really entered a special period. The barrier has to be lifted after only half an incense stick of time. According to this, Maitreya's previous inference was correct. Di You should be in a state where it is difficult to escape now." Gu Zheng thought.
"Fairy, what have you considered?"
Gu Zheng's voice sounded in the Chaos Tower.
"Huh..."
Fairy Qixuan took a deep breath and said, "Daoyou, I have considered it. I want to go to the Rift Canyon with you!"
"Okay!"
Gu Zheng smiled. With the addition of Fairy Qixuan, the overall combat effectiveness of their people will be improved. More importantly, the air-forbidden magical power that the mud spirit feared made him no longer have to worry about it after Fairy Qixuan joined.
Not in a hurry to leave immediately, Gu Zheng decided to wait for a day. He wanted to wait for Fairy Qixuan to recover completely.
The next day, Fairy Qixuan recovered completely, and Gu Zheng flew to the depths of the Rift Canyon again.
At first, Gu Zheng's plan was to adapt to the situation. Now that Fairy Qixuan has joined, his plan has changed a little. He wants to clear the two mud spirits and the Aotianzhou before going to see Diyou.
After flying in the canyon for several hours, Gu Zheng came to the place where Fairy Qixuan and her team were first besieged.
However, Gu Zheng was different from Fairy Qixuan and her team. He flew in the state of "hiding in space", so even when he arrived at this place, he still did not alarm the enemy.
"Everyone get ready, I'm going to show up!"
Gu Zheng told everyone, and then lifted the state of "hiding in space".
"The fairy formation has changed, and the monsters will come out soon!"
As soon as Gu Zheng lifted the state of "hiding in space", the spirit of the weapon immediately reported to him.
There was a faint light at the bottom of the canyon spreading towards the way it came, which was a sign that a large area of the barrier had been lifted! Fairy Qixuan and her team were surrounded by monsters under such circumstances at the time, and two Bodhisattvas fell as a price, which was considered to be escaping from the siege.
Countless monsters flew up from below, like bees leaving their nests. Gu Zheng flew upwards and stopped only when he reached the barrier above. In this short period of time, the number of monsters flying up from the bottom of the canyon was as high as 2,000, including two mud spirits and a sky boat.
Looking at the monsters below, Gu Zheng was somewhat relieved. Fortunately, the Seven Mysterious Fairies had taken the lead before, and some of the more powerful monsters had been killed by them. Now Gu Zheng did not find the figures of those monsters in the monster army below.
Gu Zheng flew again. He wanted to let the monsters get closer as much as possible. Although the "Way of Death" was domineering, it also had a certain range of action. Gu Zheng had to use his power of Tao with caution.
During the flight, Gu Zheng did not encounter any danger. His flying speed was very fast, and the monsters behind him could hardly catch up. Even if there were monsters blocking him in front, he could activate the "space hiding" to ignore the monsters' attacks and successfully throw the monsters behind! Then, when he reached a safe place, Gu Zheng released the "space hiding" state and continued to attract the monsters' attention.
