After Taotao left, she never showed up again.
Gao Zhengyang didn't care. He just sat under the peach tree and studied the secret technique every day.
Taking advantage of this period of time, he cultivated the Wind and Thunder Transformation secret technique.
The Wind Thunder Transformation was very profound, much more profound than the Heart Sword Sutra. The Heart Sword Sutra was a pure technique. The Wind Thunder Transformation, on the other hand, described the Dao of Wind and Thunder. It was much better than the Heart Sword Sutra in terms of core concept.
The two were not even suitable to be compared together. One was a Dao technique, and the other could barely be called a sword technique.
For low-level cultivators, the Heart Sword Sutra was undoubtedly more profound, more powerful, and easier to practice. The Wind Thunder Transformation was too mysterious, and it was difficult to understand its essence.
Although Li Mu was a Golden Core cultivator and had practiced the Wind Thunder Transformation all his life, he was only proficient in the technique. He didn't even understand the technique, let alone the Dao contained in the Wind Thunder Transformation!
Gao Zhengyang had the knowledge and wisdom of a Divine Emperor. He also had a certain understanding of the Mixed Essence Realm. That was why he could see the extraordinariness of the Wind Thunder Transformation.
The Ancestral Master of the Wind Thunder Sect probably didn't know that the Wind Thunder Transformation carried the three profound meanings of technique, technique, and Dao. Later generations of cultivators didn't have such a genius to comprehend such a powerful force.
Gao Zhengyang, on the other hand, got the Wind Thunder Transformation easily.
Taotao didn't appear again. Gao Zhengyang sat quietly all day. One thought was wandering outside, and the other was guarding inside. The various secret techniques of the Wind Thunder Transformation flowed in his sea of consciousness, decomposing and recombining.
Normally speaking, with Gao Zhengyang's experience, no matter what kind of secret technique it was, he would be able to grasp its essence with just a glance.
The Wind Thunder Transformation seemed simple, but it carried the description of the laws of wind and thunder and the Dao of Heaven and Earth.
Gao Zhengyang also needed to constantly experience the changes through cultivation. Only then could he use himself as the foundation to revise and understand the Wind Thunder Transformation.
After dozens of days, the runes in Gao Zhengyang's sea of consciousness suddenly gathered together and formed a mysterious and complete rune array.
The Wind Thunder Flag hidden in Gao Zhengyang's sea of consciousness also flew out and landed on the array. The Wind Lightning Flag transformed into the Wind Lightning Origin and completely fused with the formation.
With a thought from Gao Zhengyang, the array formed by the wind and thunder runes began to stack up in an orderly manner, quickly condensing into a Wind and Thunder Golden Core.
To Gao Zhengyang, understanding the power of wind and lightning was equivalent to unraveling the secrets of rank ten. Forming a Golden Core was just a matter of time.
The Golden Core of Wind and Thunder was almost perfect by the standards of the tenth level.
Gao Zhengyang dared to say that he was better than all the Golden Core Cultivators in the East Ocean. However, he didn't care about a Golden Core of this level.
The Golden Core of Wind and Thunder was just a key that opened the treasury of tenth-step strength.
With Gao Zhengyang's intelligence and strength, since he had entered the tenth level of power, all the other related laws had also been completely unraveled.
The first to be unlocked was, of course, Gao Zhengyang's Dragon Emperor Sacred Body.
The Dragon Emperor Indestructible God Body had only unlocked the tenth level of power, so it could only become a Saint Body. In this world, it could also be called a tenth-stage golden body.
This step was so crucial that it allowed Gao Zhengyang to enter the ranks of the most powerful Golden Core Cultivators.
The Dragon Emperor Sacred Body didn't have any new changes, but it was enough to give Gao Zhengyang the confidence to face strong enemies.
The Spirit Qi of the Immemorial Realm was so thick, but it was extremely rare for a cultivator to cultivate a tenth-stage golden body. Tempering the body was limited by the body after all, and it wasn't as easy as using the Divine Sense to move the Spirit Qi.
Gao Zhengyang felt the familiar and powerful power in his body and was in a good mood. This solid step meant that he had finally gained a foothold in the East Ocean.
The Dragon Emperor Sacred Body had recovered its power, and the Spirit Qi in Gao Zhengyang's body was almost endless. His Divine Soul, Divine Sense, and Mind were also unlocked at the same time.
In terms of Divine Soul, Gao Zhengyang used the Wind and Thunder Art to restructure his Divine Soul so that it could adapt to the laws of this world. In terms of Mind, he used the Heart Sword Sutra as the foundation to readjust the Heart Sword Perception.
The condensed Wind Thunder Golden Core actually contained all the Essence Qi and Dharma Laws of the Wind Thunder Flag.
Gao Zhengyang naturally would not use external objects to refine a Golden Core. He forged this Golden Core only to absorb the Wind Thunder Flag and the level-11 nomological laws contained in it.
With the help of the Wind Thunder Flag, the power of this Wind Thunder Golden Core was comparable to that of a Nascent Soul Cultivator. However, this was not what Gao Zhengyang wanted. With a move of his spiritual consciousness, the Wind and Thunder Golden Core integrated into the Wind and Thunder Swordplay Robe and became the core of the Wind and Thunder Swordplay Robe.
The Wind Lightning Swordsmanship Robe was a Tier 10 Dharma Artifact, it was extremely exquisite. However, these kinds of magic tools were all dead, and their power and changes were very limited. Now that Gao Zhengyang had recovered his Dragon Emperor Sacred Physique, he no longer cared about the Wind and Thunder Swordsmanship Robe.
Fusing the Wind Thunder Golden Core into the Wind Thunder Swordcloth was equivalent to fusing the powerful power of the Wind Thunder Flag and the wonders of the Golden Core into it, recasting the Wind Thunder Swordcloth.
This could not be considered as refining weapons. It was just using the External Elixir method to recast magic weapons.
The External Elixir method had always been regarded as an evil method. The Golden Core was condensed from essence, Qi, and spirit, so what if it was placed outside?
Gao Zhengyang was different from ordinary cultivators. It was very easy for him to form the Golden Core. He abandoned the Wind and Thunder Golden Core and recast the Wind and Thunder Swordplay Robe.
The recast Wind and Thunder Swordplay Robe could unleash the battle power of a Nascent Soul. Gao Zhengyang could also use the Wind and Thunder Golden Core to completely control the Wind and Thunder Swordplay Robe.
After Gao Zhengyang was done with the Wind and Thunder Golden Core, he quickly recast a Sword Core. The Sword Core, which was condensed from the Essence Energy and Sword Intent, was also generously integrated into the Time Sword.
Although the Time Sword was a divine-grade flying sword that he had refined, it was still an external object. After integrating the Sword Core and recasting the Time Sword, the Time Sword would also become his External Elixir.
From then on, not only would the Time Sword's power increase greatly, but it would also become one with the heart and sword when wielded. No other force could obstruct it.
When the time was right, the Wind and Thunder Swordplay Robe and the Time Sword could be transformed into a Nascent Soul, or even a Primordial Spirit, or even the highest realm.
The External Elixir was like a seed that gave the two Divine Weapons the possibility of unlimited evolution.
Although Gao Zhengyang had formed three Golden Cores in a row, he did not make a sound and did not change at all. This was because he was strong enough, which was why he could do it with ease and not show his emotions.
He was not like those Golden Core Beginner cultivators who released their aura crazily and even attracted lightning tribulations.
No one knew that Gao Zhengyang, who had cultivated under the peach tree for a hundred days, had already become the strongest Golden Core cultivator in the Eastern Sea. Even the many Nascent Soul cultivators would find it difficult to fight against three Golden Core Cultivators like him.
Gao Zhengyang could see inside and outside clearly. He felt that the two Divine Weapons were one with him and could not be separated from each other. When he wielded them, it was exceptionally smooth and there was not the slightest bit of sluggishness.
Although the Dragon Emperor did not have a Golden Core in his body, his Sacred Body had an endless amount of Essence Energy. Such a powerful Dharmic Power was even stronger than that of a Nascent Soul cultivator.
If it wasn't for the wrong time, Gao Zhengyang really wanted to roar out loud.
At that moment, Gao Zhengyang suddenly felt the power of water and fire shoot up into the sky. He opened his eyes and saw the white and red divine lights intertwining and twisting together. They were like two intertwining giant snakes shooting up into the sky.
The power of water and fire restrained each other, but the red and white divine lights were very harmonious. The gentle power of water balanced the violent power of fire. The violent power of fire also stimulated the power of water.
"She is indeed worthy of being an Artifact Refining Grandmaster …" Gao Zhengyang's eyes were now more sharp. He could tell that it was the Water-Fire Horsetail Whisk made by Jin Lao at first glance.
From the aura, water and fire complemented each other and coexisted with Yin and Yang. It had already reached the eleventh level.
This kind of unstable aura naturally caused changes in the Heaven and Earth's Essence Energy. The sky was covered with dark clouds and flashes of lightning.
A figure flashed, and Jin Lao suddenly appeared in front of Gao Zhengyang out of thin air. She threw the Horsetail Whisk with a white jade handle to Gao Zhengyang. "The Divine Artifact has been refined for you. As for the Thunder Tribulation and the many demon beasts, you have to deal with it yourself."
Jin Lao didn't wait for Gao Zhengyang to speak and disappeared in a flash.
Gao Zhengyang held the soft white jade handle and swung the Horsetail Whisk. The power of water and fire rippled out, causing the surrounding Essence Energy to roar.
"Jin Lao has a good method."
Gao Zhengyang tried the Water-Fire Horsetail Whisk and was quite satisfied.
This Horsetail Whisk was a combination of four demon cores, forming an orderly and stable powerful Artifact. The white jade handle was not only extremely hard, but it could also be used as a stick and could also avoid spells of water, fire, wind, and thunder.
The Water Dividing White Jade Rhinoceros was a powerful demon beast with amazing innate magical powers. Unfortunately, it had no place to use its demon power in front of the Time Yin Sword.
The spirit threads of the snow-white Horsetail Whisk could stretch and become longer, and it could also transform from virtual to real, and it was extremely tough. It could be used to tie people up, and no one could break free.
By activating the power of water and fire, it could produce all kinds of wonderful changes.
Gao Zhengyang fiddled with the Water-Fire Horsetail Whisk and immediately figured out the various changes of the Horsetail Whisk.
The Lightning Tribulation didn't brew for long before it suddenly struck.
A bolt of lightning that was thousands of feet long slashed down like a giant knife.
Gao Zhengyang waved the Horsetail Whisk, and hundreds of spirit threads spread out, forming a huge white silk net in the air.
The lightning fell and was cut into thousands of pieces by the huge silk net. The power of the lightning was forcibly disintegrated before it could explode.
The Water-Fire Horsetail Whisk absorbed the remaining power of the lightning, strengthening the internal Dharma Array, and quenching the impurities inside the Artifact.
The Lightning Tribulation was a test for the Divine Artifact, and it could also help the Divine Artifact be reborn.
The lightning in the sky kept crashing down, and Gao Zhengyang activated the Water-Fire Horsetail Whisk to easily resist the Lightning Tribulation.
However, the Lightning Tribulation in the sky was getting stronger and stronger, and its power had attracted many Greater Demons.
The Greater Demons of the East Sea had a certain tacit understanding with each other. They wouldn't enter the territories of other Greater Demons unless it was necessary. However, the Lightning Tribulation was so strong that even the Greater Demons hiding in the deep sea were awakened.
Sensing the change of aura, these Greater Demons became greedy and hurried to Hidden Dragon Island.
The Lightning Tribulation lasted from three days to half a month. During this period, as long as the Water-Fire Horsetail Whisk's aura wasn't completely stable, it would incite the Lightning Tribulation.
Gao Zhengyang also sensed the aura of the Greater Demons gathering in the surroundings, but these stupid Greater Demons weren't worth mentioning. Even if he hadn't recovered his Dragon Emperor Sacred Body, it would be easy for him to kill them.
One day, two days, until the seventh day, the Lightning Tribulation was still accumulating in the sky and didn't seem to dissipate.
However, at least eight Greater Demons had come to Hidden Dragon Island. These Great Demons had traveled thousands of miles just to get a share of the loot.
However, the Lightning Tribulation hadn't dispersed, so none of the Greater Demons dared to act recklessly. As Greater Demons, they were most afraid of the Lightning Tribulation. The Greater Demons weren't stupid, and none of them was willing to take the lead.
The Greater Demons kept a safe distance from each other and stared at Gao Zhengyang on Hidden Dragon Island. As soon as the thunderbolts dissipated, they would snatch the Relic.
As for who could succeed, it depended on who had better means.
On the tenth day, the thunderbolts in the sky became more and more intense. The continuous thunderbolts were like rain, constantly striking down on Gao Zhengyang.
Gao Zhengyang had been operating the Water-Fire Horsetail Whisk for ten days. Although he didn't look tired, his Spirit Force was somewhat sluggish. It seemed that the situation was not good.
"Lord Gao, I have Immortal Spiritual Powder, which can help you improve your cultivation temporarily."
Elder Jin appeared again with a small medicine bottle in his hand, wanting to help Gao Zhengyang.
Gao Zhengyang had been tossing and turning for ten days. He was unscathed, but the surrounding houses had long been smashed by the thunderbolts. Even the peach tree behind him had long been smashed into pieces.
Ten consecutive Lightning Tribulation was not so easy to bear. Even the greater part of the west city of Hidden Dragon Island had been blown away. The rest of the people in Hidden Dragon Island were nowhere to be found.
The huge city was empty, not a single person could be seen. The one who appeared was Ji Lao, probably the only person left in this empty city.
Gao Zhengyang looked at the medicine bottle in Elder Jin's hand and smiled. "There are still many Great Demons, and you are anxious?"
Elder Jin's expression changed slightly. "I have good intentions. What do you mean by this?"
"You are such a stupid Demon. You should just focus on refining. Why do you need to use illusions?"
Gao Zhengyang said, "For the sake of refining, I wanted to spare your life. But you don't know what's good for you, and you still want to plot against me."
He asked puzzledly, "What's wrong with your brain? Did you soak in the water for too long? "
Elder Jin leaned on his copper crutch and looked gloomy. "What are you talking about? I don't understand."
"That's not interesting."
Gao Zhengyang said with a smile, "You are a Great Demon. You have been seen through, and you still deny it. Don't you have any shame, Mirage Dragon?"
Elder Jin's face changed greatly, and he took a few steps back. "I have underestimated you!"
"You are too incompetent."
Gao Zhengyang said, "Hidden Dragon Island is isolated from the outside world. It is surrounded by all kinds of Great Demons. There is not even a merchant ship. Where do you get all the silk, gold, silver, and jewelry? Who will buy it? "
Gao Zhengyang said disdainfully, "The details are too rough. This city is too clean and tidy. It's not right at first sight. And that Taotao, I don't know where you got that girl's Soul Doppelganger. She is vivid and flawless. Unfortunately, your stinky smell is not right. "
He said again, "What's your name? What's your name? Or Mirage Dragon? "
Gao Zhengyang didn't care about Elder Jin's reaction and said, "At that time, I thought it must be Mirage Dragon with such rough illusions and stinky smell."
Elder Jin was expressionless. He said indifferently, "So what if you know it? You are still working for me. "
"I know what you are doing. Every day, you use the excuse of eating peaches to spit on me and infect me with your breath. It is you who wants to pass the Thunder Doom with me. He even gave me a peach pit to divert my attention. Am I that stupid? "
Gao Zhengyang said, "I don't care. The stronger the Thunder Doom, the better it is for the Water-Fire Horsetail Whisk. It is not bad to take the opportunity to experience the Rank 11 Thunder Doom. "
Mirage Dragon's face really changed. It turned out that Gao Zhengyang knew everything. However. After passing the Rank 11 Thunder Doom, her monster core would transform and she would advance to Rank 11.
Even if Gao Zhengyang knew everything, what could he do?
Mirage Dragon thought for a while and said, "For the sake of you blocking the Thunder Doom for me, I will let you go. Hand over the Water-Fire Horsetail Whisk and run … "
"There is no such option."
Gao Zhengyang shook his head slightly and said, "Since you don't know what's good for you and want to scheme against me, only death awaits you."
Gao Zhengyang said as he stretched out his hand and a trace of flowing lightning appeared on his fingertip.
The lightning was extremely weak, like a magic trick played by a low-level sorcerer.
Mirage Dragon was a bit surprised. Gao Zhengyang talked big. Was that all he could do?
But she didn't dare to be careless. Gao Zhengyang had seen through all her plans and wouldn't be easy to deal with. Out of caution, she spat out a mouthful of mirage energy.
The energy quickly expanded and turned into a majestic Divine Mountain. Although it was an illusion, it had the aura and changes of the Divine Mountain.
The Divine Mountain became bigger and bigger in the sky. Many gorgeous palaces appeared on the Divine Mountain. There were flying spirit birds and exotic flowers all over the mountain. There were also fairies in the sky. It was a fairyland.
Although the Mirage Dragon had never been to such a fairyland, it had seen it in the memories of its ancestors. The fairyland also had a trace of the mysterious changes of a Perfected Immortal.
She had passed the Thunder Doom with the help of Gao Zhengyang and had advanced to Rank 11. At this moment, the illusions that he had conjured were already somewhat miraculous in turning illusions into reality.
The illusion also contained the Mirage Dragon's real Dharma Spells. Illusion and reality coexisted and had endless changes.
As long as the illusion wasn't broken, the Mirage Dragon was invincible.
The fairyland kept expanding and turned into a vast world in the blink of an eye.
Even with Gao Zhengyang's ability, he couldn't tell which was real and which was fake.
The Mirage Dragon breathed mirage energy and was born with the ability to create illusions. Even if Gao Zhengyang recovered his power as a Divine Emperor, he might not be able to see through the illusions at a glance.
"If you can find the transformation of my real body, I lose …" The Mirage Dragon snickered and its voice came from all directions of the fairyland.
Gao Zhengyang didn't care about that. He shouted, "Lightning, come!"
The lightning on his fingertips suddenly brightened. A trace of lightning split into billions of lightning bolts. Endless lightning bolts surged out like a sea of lightning, covering everything in an instant.
These lightning bolts were the Tribulation Lightning that Gao Zhengyang had absorbed with his Wind Thunder Swordsman Armor. At this moment, they were all released.
That was not all. Gao Zhengyang shouted again, "Water, come!"
The endless seawater within thousands of miles turned into countless water swords, striking at Hidden Dragon Island from all directions.
Gao Zhengyang shouted again, "Fire, come!"
The Water-Fire Horsetail Whisk gathered the power of earth fire, which burst out from the depth of Hidden Dragon Island.
The big monsters around Hidden Dragon Island all sensed the danger. However, being trapped by the three powers, they couldn't escape even if they wanted to.
Gao Zhengyang finally shouted, "Wind, come!"
The four great original energies of water, fire, wind, and thunder gathered together and repeated the natural transformation.
The world suddenly turned dark. Then, endless divine light burst out. Everything in Hidden Dragon Island collapsed in the Immortal Light.
Hidden Dragon Island was in such a state, not to mention the big monsters. They didn't even have time to scream before they were destroyed in the endless divine light. As for the Mirage Dragon, it bore most of the power and perished on the spot. It couldn't be more dead.
Holding the horsetail whisk, Gao Zhengyang sneered in the endless divine light, "Those fancy tricks are useless. I will make you climax with one move …"
