Chapter 269 The Remaining Energy From the Ancient Times

The tomb that the Gu family went to explore with the whole family's strength was not buried with a strong human, and its origin was unknown.

At that time, there were cultivators from all races who went together, and the situation was quite chaotic. The little strength of the Gu family was not conspicuous in it.

More than two hundred years have passed since that exploration, and no one has been able to dig out the whole tomb so far, and only the outer area has been explored.

Since there are fragments of this level, it is certain that there are fragments of higher-level treasures. Even if they cannot be repaired, they can provide Chu Zheng with a large amount of origin energy.

Chu Zheng had some thoughts about the tomb, but he was not in a hurry.

His current strength is only the fifth level, which is not noticeable in the Tianwu Realm. He can hardly control the situation of the melee between the major races.

At least, he must be close to the strength of the original body before he can enter the world and stir up the storm.

…………

…………

Time flies like a white horse, and more than ten years have passed in a flash.

After the Gu family took control of the entire Huoyan City, the family's power grew rapidly. In just over ten years, the power has more than doubled. Within thousands of miles of this area, there are already several powerful families.

Relatively speaking, the help Chu Zheng received became more and more obvious.

In order to avoid the situation of the Bai family before, Gu Zhenxun learned a lesson and streamlined the number of blood slaves, transferred them underground, tried his best to improve the quality, and then gradually hid the news.

In order to ensure that Chu Zheng had enough blood supply, he would occasionally bleed himself.

In recent years, in order to prevent someone from investigating Ying Chongyun's affairs, the Gu family has always arranged people to observe the reactions of Shenhuang Dao and Chiyanmen.

Several people from Shenhuang Dao have come to Huoyan City before, but fortunately, they were all safe and sound. They just asked questions and did not dig deep and conduct detailed investigations.

After hiding the blood slaves, the Gu family did not reveal any flaws. In the eyes of Chiyanmen, the Gu family did not hurt Ying Chongyun at all, and soon ruled out the suspicion of the Gu family.

Chu Zheng was naturally happy to see this happen. He couldn't be so stupid as to take the initiative to find these people and admit what he had done.

However, judging from the reaction caused by Ying Chongyun's disappearance, the identity he had previously stated must have been a lot of bragging.

Ying Chongyun had been mentioned before and was favored by the Master of the Divine Phoenix Dao. Now it seems that it is completely fictitious.

In the Tianwu human race, all the sects and hundreds of paths gathered together, and the Divine Phoenix Dao ranked among the top ten.

The Master of the Divine Phoenix Dao had already participated in the creation of nature and had a great cultivation. He had entered the supreme realm early on and was stronger than the Immortal King and comparable to the Immortal Lord.

If such a person really believed in Ying Chongyun, Chu Zheng would have died even if he had ten lives at this moment.

The causal line, in the eyes of beings of that realm, has no place to hide. With a little deduction, the real culprit can be found.

…………

…………

It was late autumn again. It was just night, and the air was already a little cold.

The bluestone hall was bathed in the moonlight, emitting a dim light, surrounded by yin energy, making the surroundings seem a little cold and desolate.

In the past ten years, the only people who knew about Chu Zheng's existence were the dozens of people left in the war. Those who knew about it kept their mouths shut and dared not say much to avoid disaster.

Inside the hall.

Chu Zheng was immersed in the blood pool, absorbing blood and qi, slowly increasing his cultivation. The green hair around him was about to turn purple, filled with the charm of Taoism.

In recent years, the blood sent by Gu Zhenxun has become higher and higher in quality. There are basically no mortals, all of them are cultivators.

With a large amount of blood tonic every day, coupled with the method of refining qi, his cultivation can be said to be advancing by leaps and bounds.

However, a Yin corpse, practicing Taoism, has caused his body to undergo very strange changes.

With the fusion of yin and yang, his body is gradually transforming into a special kind of creature, like a dead person returning to life, with some vitality.

The blood and qi that had solidified in the blood vessels showed signs of melting, and the heart would often tremble slightly, as if it was about to start beating again.

This feeling of rebirth from death gave Chu Zheng a lot of gains in his hazy state, and he touched upon some laws of heaven and earth. However, due to his low level of cultivation, he could not fully understand them in a short period of time.

Under Gu's painstaking search, Chu Zheng received a lot of high-grade fragments in recent years. With the original qi extracted from them, he repaired two war weapons.

The first one was the Cold Spirit Ruler. This fragment that Gu's people snatched from the tomb did not disappoint Chu Zheng. It was indeed a war weapon with amazing killing power.

However, Chu Zheng was now strong in his physical body, and the mana used to activate the magic weapon was really insufficient, making it difficult to exert its true power.

The second one was an ancient treasure called the "Soul-fixing Bell", which was also at the seventh level and was a treasure dedicated to protecting the Yuanshen.

His current shortcoming was the Yuanshen.

This body, practicing the Qi Refining Method, is not like the original path, refining essence into Qi, refining Qi into spirit. Although the cultivation level is rising and the body is getting stronger, the soul has not moved much.

Now, although his cultivation level is close to the sixth level, his soul is weak, even worse than the immortal soul condensing cultivator, and he needs a treasure to protect himself.

In addition to the weak soul, Chu Zheng has always had a hidden worry in his heart. He has not noticed the existence of calamity energy since he practiced.

The Qi Refining Method is making him stronger, but the calamity energy has never appeared. Chu Zheng doesn't know if there is something wrong with his perception or other reasons, but there is indeed no trace of calamity energy on his body.

Without the calamity, Chu Zheng didn't know whether his incarnation would be helpful to his original body.

Knock knock——

The door of the palace was knocked.

Chu Zheng stood up from the pool, his hair was smooth and bloodless, his height had soared to nearly ten feet, his muscles were knotted, as if he was made of gold and iron.

Chu Zheng could not avoid the increase in physical strength, and naturally showed some strange phenomena.

Chu Zheng casually took out a piece of armor and opened the door:

"Come in."

Gu Zhenxun stepped in, followed by ten women, all of whom were covered in pearls and jade, dressed in silk, and tied with jade belts, outlining their beautiful figures.

Chu Zheng glanced at the Yin Qi wrapped around these women, and immediately understood what Gu Zhenxun meant.

The virgin's primordial Yin was still there, and the blood was rich. For zombies, their blood was a great tonic.

"These are all my Gu family bloodline, absolutely reliable, all have cultivation, and are virgins, I think it will be beneficial to the senior's cultivation."

Gu Zhenxun bowed and said with a little flattery: "From today on, they will stay here to take care of the senior's daily life."

After discussing with Song Zhao about Chu Zheng's true identity, Gu Zhenxun had already reached a conclusion. This must be a fallen great man, whose residual soul entered the Yin corpse, so he had so many means.

After knowing this, Gu Zhenxun has been showing goodwill to Chu Zheng. If Chu Zheng is served well, some secret skills will be leaked from his fingers, which will be enough for the Gu family to benefit infinitely, and his generation will lay a foundation for eternal success.

Ten women stood behind Gu Zhenxun, trembling with fear, their faces pale, and their eyes revealed the fear that was suppressed.

The huge figure in armor in the distance, with scarlet eyes, wings on his back, green face and fangs, looks like a Yaksha Shura. Just looking at it, you will be terrified and unable to sleep all night.

If you stay with him for a long time, I am afraid you will be scared to death.

Chu Zheng could feel the disordered heartbeats of these women from a distance of several feet, and shook his head:

"No need, I will leave tomorrow."

Although the blood of these women is of some benefit to him, the quantity is not large, and with low cultivation, it is not of much value.

If accumulated over time, it may be of some use, but he is not prepared to spend more time in Gu's.

Now that his cultivation is about to enter the sixth level, and he has two seventh-level treasures to protect himself, he is already qualified to explore the tomb.

The most important thing is that the experience level of the restorer in Gu's is rising too slowly.

He wants to max out the experience of the restorer as much as possible, so that he will have more control over his body in the future.

"You...are you leaving now?"

Gu Zhenxun's expression froze, and he explained in a panic:

"I didn't mean to stop you, but the great favor you gave me in protecting the Gu family has not been repaid yet. If you leave like this, I will not be at peace..."

He said it sincerely, but only he knew how much truth and falsehood there were in his words.

Seeing that things had turned around, the ten women standing behind Gu Zhenxun all breathed a sigh of relief. They could not tell if they would die on the spot one day by serving a Yin corpse.

"No need."

Chu Zheng raised his hand and handed over a red round bead, saying slowly: "This thing is called 'Melting Bead', which can gather and store blood and qi. You can help me collect blood as usual. I will come to get it when I have time."

Melting Bead is a refining method that Chu Zheng got from the Dongyuan Realm. It is perfect for storing blood and qi. It is very practical for his current situation.

"......Yes."

After a while of silence, Gu Zhenxun finally did not dare to disobey Chu Zheng and bowed to take the molten bead.

Looking at the blood-colored round bead in his palm, he sighed secretly. At least it was not broken directly, and there was still room for friendship in the future.

Before he could react, Chu Zheng threw another storage spirit ring: "These things are the compensation for the many efforts spent by Gu family in these years."

For more than ten years, Gu family helped him save a lot of trouble. He was able to practice so attentively and improve his cultivation realm, which was inseparable from Gu family.

After seeing the things in the spirit ring, even though Gu Zhenxun had experienced many storms, he couldn't help holding his breath and couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.

Pile of magic tools and magic treasures, as well as some classics and scriptures.

These are all from the fragments collected by Gu family, some fourth-level and fifth-level rags, and a few sixth-level ones. For Chu Zheng, they are of no use at all.

Chu Zheng had never carefully calculated how many things there were, but it was probably a considerable sum for the Gu family.

"This... I dare not accept this."

Gu Zhenxun stood with his head down, his hand holding the spiritual ring trembling slightly. Not to mention those magic weapons, those classics and scriptures were what he had always wanted the most.

However, the gift that Chu Zheng gave casually was too heavy for the Gu family.

It was so heavy that Gu Zhenxun felt a little unreal and vaguely frightened.

Huhuhu——

Suddenly there was a light sound, and the evil wind entered the hall. Gu Zhenxun looked up suddenly, and there was no trace of Chu Zheng in front of him.

Obviously, Chu Zheng did not want to waste words with him anymore, so he chose to leave early.

After a while, Gu Zhenxun took a deep breath, waved his hand, and signaled the women behind him to disperse.

Then, he sat down on the ground and began to study several of the magic formulas, his eyes filled with extremely excited divine light.

Through the skills in his hands, he almost saw the glorious future of the Gu family's rise.

…………

…………

After leaving Huoyan City, Chu Zheng's destination was clear, and he went straight to the ancient tomb.

His appearance was very eye-catching now, and it was easy for people to see the clues, so he made some disguises.

For Chu Zheng at present, he could only display a little bit of the power of fake appearance. He restrained his purple hair and showed his strong body, but the Yin Qi that penetrated his bones was still difficult to cover.

But at least he looked a little bit like a human, and he didn't look too creepy.

Hiding during the day and going out at night, plus getting information, Chu Zheng arrived at the tomb half a month later.

This place is very far from Huoyan City, and it is rare for the Gu family to find such a far place.

The person buried in this tomb is not a human, and the identity and strength of the tomb owner are unknown. He has been born for a long time, at least nearly ten thousand years.

From ancient times to the present, countless groups of strong people have come here, and this tomb has never been opened, which is extremely mysterious.

The harder it is to open, the more it arouses the curiosity of creatures of all races. Even if they cannot go deep into it, they want to explore nearby.

An unknown city was born because of this.

This city spans more than 200 miles. There are all kinds of people in the city, and there are all kinds of forces. There are constant frictions on weekdays.

Fortunately, there is a powerful creature in the city who can barely suppress the situation, otherwise people will die every day.

Chu Zheng restrained his breath and stepped into the city. Although he was disguised, many people secretly scanned his eyes the moment he entered the city, because they noticed the amazing Yin Qi on him and found that he was obviously not a human.

In this regard, Chu Zheng could only pretend not to know and began to quietly collect secrets about the tomb.

Soon, he used a fifth-level magic weapon to simply and directly exchange some information about the tomb.

This large tomb, on the surface, is only more than 30 miles long and wide, but in fact, it is full of secrets. The area covers more than 10 million miles, with complex terrain and dangerous environment.

Chu Zheng's generosity naturally attracted the attention of many people. In the process of collecting information, he had unknowingly attracted many creatures behind him, with different thoughts.

After getting the news, Chu Zheng did not stay for long, and went straight out of the city and headed towards the tomb not far away. Many creatures followed him like shadows.

It was noon, and the sun was shining brightly.

Chu Zheng walked under the sun, absorbing the essence of Yang Qi and warming the blood in his body that seemed to be frozen.

This scene was seen by many creatures, and for a while some creatures retreated and stopped following him.

The Yin Qi was so heavy, and there was no discomfort under the scorching sun, which was enough to prove some problems.

Less than 300 miles out of the city, Chu Zheng felt a breath of ancient breath left over from ancient times.

Decayed, dull, and filled with a sinister and evil aura.
