Vermillion Peak was the place where the phenomenon of a supreme treasure had first appeared, so all the immortals who had arrived had gathered here.
The Goblin and the Wu people were busy fighting, so they had no time to pay attention to this place. Therefore, the immortals of the Human Tribe took advantage of them. Otherwise, according to past experience, the Goblin and the Wu people would arrive first when such a treasure appeared. Besides, there were so many of them that the immortals of the Human Tribe had no chance of winning.
If they encountered some bad-tempered immortals, they would hunt you down as soon as you approached them.
The Human Tribe was the happiest one in the Great War of the Witch-Demon Tribe. They were eager to kill each other. However, they just thought about it and did not really believe that the two tribes would perish together.
Only Gu Zheng knew the result. The Wu people died in this war and the Goblin became desolate. If it were not for the fact that there were so many monsters in the Untainted Land and all the monsters were based on animals, the Goblin would have perished. The Human Tribe could not kill all the animals, which gave the monsters a chance to be reborn.
However, in the future, even the Big Goblin would lower its head and live in the Untainted Land. Many monsters became the mounts of the Human Tribe. After the apotheosis, many Daluo Jinxian and even Sage-to-be took pride in having a powerful monster as a mount. At this time, even Sage-to-be of the Human Tribe did not dare to enslave a Goblin.
After walking around, Gu Zheng and the other three quickly found a place to rest.
There was no place for ordinary people to live under Zhu Chi Peak. All the immortals had to build their own houses. Gu Zheng was lazy and could not build his own house. He threw out a bottle of ordinary elixirs and other Celestial Immortals would come to help him.
Many ordinary Celestial Immortals found it difficult to cultivate and had few resources. It was a good deal for them to get a bottle of elixirs just by building a few houses.
And Gu Zheng still had a lot of such immortal pills, all of which he had obtained from the Lich and Demon Battlefield. These immortal pills were bestowed to Wu You, Mado, and the others for their cultivation. Gu Zheng himself never used these immortal pills, nor did he need them.
To him, these types of immortal pills were all low-grade goods, and they were perfect for hiring people to work for them.
A bottle of immortal pills, in exchange for the labor of three Celestial Immortals, they were very happy after harvesting the immortal pills, as if they had earned a lot.
Gu Zheng and the other three stayed in the newly built house. Although it was just an ordinary wooden house, the three Celestial Immortals were very skillful and made it very well. It was exquisite and elegant. Even the bed, table, cabinet and so on were made. Gu Zheng wondered if any of the three Celestial Immortals had learned carpentry before. Otherwise, how could they make it so exquisite?
Celestial Immortals were much stronger than ordinary people. It was not difficult to build a house, but it was not easy to build it. Gu Zheng was very satisfied with this house. The bottle of immortal pills was well spent.
Soon, the news of a rich Jin Xian using immortal pills to get people to help build a house spread among the Celestial Immortals. Many Celestial Immortals even flew to see the newly built house to see what kind of rich person was so generous.
Gu Zheng gave a bottle of twelve immortal pills, all of which could be used by Celestial Immortals. They were helpful for Celestial Immortals' cultivation, and to many Celestial Immortals, they were treasures. To exchange treasures for an ordinary house, other than a rich person, no one would do such a thing.
It was just like on Earth in the future. If someone used gold bricks in exchange for a few buckets of water, at most, they would let you boil the water for them. No one would object to such a thing, and many people would rush to do it. The person who gave the gold bricks would naturally become a fool in the eyes of others.
Even if a very rich person had a lot of gold bricks and did not care about one or two gold bricks, they would also think that this person was a fool, because it was not equal at all.
"Fellow Daoist Gokusen, you gave too much. At most, one pill for each of the three of us. It is enough. If you don't want to be fast, you can get someone to make one pill!"
After living in the new house, Hokkaido could not help but say. He was like a rich person on Earth in the future. But even if he was rich, he should not spend it like this. This was considered a prodigal.
"It's okay. There is no need to care about things that are useless to us!"
Gu Zheng smiled slightly. Their views were different, so Gu Zheng did not intend to persuade him. Hokkaido's beard trembled. He wanted to say that it was useless to you, but it was useful to your disciples. Whether it was Wu You or Mado, they had a need for such immortal pills, so it was good to leave it to them.
But after all, this was Gu Zheng's own family matter, so it was not good for him to say it.
How could he know that not to mention Wu You and Mado, even An Zhuo, who had not become an immortal yet, was taking immortal pills to cultivate. After all, Gu Zheng's harvest was very big, and he had a lot of such things.
Especially after killing Cheung Tin previously, the Goblin Daluo Jinxian was embarrassed to ask for the spoils of war on Cheung Tin, so Gu Zheng accepted it without hesitation. Cheung Tin was not Haotian. They had just wiped out the Goblin army, and most of the spoils of war were in his hands and had not been distributed yet. So he let Gu Zheng take it all, and the harvest was very rich.
These immortal pills were really nothing to Gu Zheng.
In the future, he would be regarded as a fool on Earth. If his house was made of gold bricks, everything was made of gold bricks, and there were countless of them, and he could take as many gold bricks as he wanted, he would not care about using gold bricks to ask others for help, even if it was a small matter.
However, what Gu Zheng did not expect was that this matter would help them become famous. In just a few days, everyone at Zhu Chi Peak, including the immortals who arrived later than Gu Zheng, knew that there were four nouveau riche Jin Xian here. They were very powerful, and they became the focus of everyone's attention in this treasure hunt.
Since they were nouveau riche, they would definitely have good Dharma treasures. Powerful Dharma treasures could greatly increase one's strength, so many people were very wary of them.
This was indeed beyond Gu Zheng's expectations.
"As of today, a total of 136 Jin Xian have arrived. Among them, 19 are at the late stage of the Jin Xian Realm, 41 are at the middle stage, and 76 are at the early stage!"
In the new house, a Celestial Immortal was reporting to Gu Zheng and the others. This was one of the Celestial Immortals who had helped them build the house. Now, he had become a person who specialized in gathering information for Gu Zheng.
There were three people in this Celestial Immortal's group. One of them was at the Divine Transformation Realm, and the other two were at the Qi Transformation Realm. They were very weak, and they had no intention of snatching the treasures. They were only here to take a look. Meeting Gu Zheng was a pleasant surprise for them. This made them decide to follow Gu Zheng and serve him.
In this way, they would have the powerful Jin Xian to protect them, and they would also be able to gain a lot. It was killing two birds with one stone.
"It's not time yet, but so many of them have arrived!" Hokkaido said and shook his head gently. That friend of his had not arrived yet. He did not know if he was still contacting others.
"Senior Huo, Senior Gokusen, we also heard that some Goblin are gathering. They seem to want to come and snatch the treasures as well!"
After hesitating for a moment, this Celestial Immortal still said what he had heard but was not sure of.
"Goblin? How many of them?"
Gu Zheng frowned. Hokkaido and the others also looked at this Celestial Immortal.
"We don't know the exact number. A fellow Daoist met a few Goblin Celestial Immortals by chance and overheard their conversation. They said that a lord was gathering his Goblin companions at the Myriad Valley Mountain to snatch the treasures together!"
"Who is that lord? How strong is he?"
Hokkaido asked. The Celestial Immortal standing below shook his head gently. "That person did not dare to listen too much. He was afraid of being discovered. That's all he knew!"
"Myriad Valley Mountain, Goblin!"
Gu Zheng said these two words in a low voice. Originally, only the humans had come to snatch the treasures. No matter who the treasures ended up in, they would still be with the humans. However, now that the Goblin had joined in, things had changed.
Not to mention other things, the Goblin and the humans were enemies. If they approached, they would fight before the treasures were even born. In the past, Goblin and the Wu people would often fight before the treasures were born. Only the winner would have the right to snatch the treasures.
However, this time, the Wu people did not come. It was the humans who came. The Goblin's enemy had become the humans.
"Daoist Huo, Taotie and I will make a trip to Myriad Valley Mountain to find out about the situation!"
Gu Zheng suddenly said to Hokkaido. Hokkaido was stunned. If there was news about Goblin, people would usually be sent to find out. Even if Jin Xian went, it would mostly be people in the early stage of Jin Xian. Although Gu Zheng was also in the early stage, his true strength was not as simple as that.
Moreover, Taotie, who was at the peak of the late stage, was going with him. Including the 140 Jin Xian here, there were probably not many who could compare to Taotie.
"It is very important to know yourself and your enemy. We need to know about Goblin before we can respond. This is not just a matter of the few of us. It concerns all the Daoists here. Therefore, the two of us are the most suitable!"
Gu Zheng explained. There was a reason he did not say. If the two of them went, their safety would be guaranteed. If the two of them cooperated, Daluo Jinxian would not be afraid. As long as the other party did not have Daluo Jinxian, there would be basically no danger on this trip, unless the other party also had a heaven-defying treasure.
This time, the Goblin's convener could not be Daluo Jinxian. If it was really Daluo Jinxian, he did not need to gather people. He could just come directly. Gu Zheng guessed that the other party was just a Jin Xian. He knew that there were more humans here, so he gathered other Daoists to come together.
If it was just a Jin Xian, the two of them would not be afraid.
"Okay, but you must be careful!" Daoist Huo only hesitated for a moment before saying this. He knew Gu Zheng's strength, and there was no need to talk about Taotie's cultivation level. If the two of them went over, nothing would happen.
It was good to be able to find out information about the Goblin. This way, they would be able to deal with it.
Gu Zheng and Taotie left to investigate. Only Hokkaido and the others knew. The other Immortals here did not know.
The so-called investigation was to figure out the strength of the other party. If the other party had many people and strong strength, Gu Zheng and the others could observe the other party's strength. But if the other party had few people and weak strength, such as a few Jin Xian, then Gu Zheng would directly kill these people and come back.
However, the possibility of the latter was not high. The Immortals on Zhu Chi Peak did not hide. Even if it was a Goblin, it would not be troublesome to know the situation here. Since they knew the situation here, it was impossible for only a few people to come. That was not to snatch the treasure, but to die.
The Myriad Valley Mountain was located on the east side of the Thousand Peak Mountain. It was 20,000 miles away. It was neither far nor close.
Gu Zheng and Taotie rushed all the way. In less than half a day, they arrived here.
Before they arrived, Gu Zheng and Taotie could see that there was a place with a strong demonic aura. It was deliberately released by some demons who did not restrain their demonic aura. Demons released their demonic aura to gather their companions and declare their territory. This was their territory. Other demons should not disturb them.
No matter what the purpose was, this was equivalent to providing Gu Zheng with the coordinates, allowing them to find it directly.
"Remember this set of Dharma Access!"
Gu Zheng taught Taotie the set of concealment and invisibility techniques. He did not have anything worth keeping for Taotie. In this unfamiliar world, Taotie was already the closest person to him.
Taotie nodded gently. The two of them used the technique together and quickly disappeared. They quietly snuck into the place with the demonic aura.
There were many demons here. There were hundreds of Little Goblin outside. At this time, there was a great war between the Shamans and Demons. Everywhere was gathering Goblin on the ground. The gatherers were all experts from the Heaven Realm. These demons could actually avoid the gathering and still gather here. It could only be said that they were not simple.
Gu Zheng did not care whether they were simple or not. Gu Zheng's purpose this time was to investigate. He brought Taotie and directly snuck in.
Invisibility techniques. Others could not see him, but he could see others. This made Taotie very curious. He even deliberately walked back and forth in front of some Little Goblin who could not see them. Gu Zheng could not help but shake his head.
Although Taotie's temperament had changed a lot, his playful heart was still there. This made Gu Zheng feel somewhat gratified.
It was good that he still had the playful heart. This proved that he was still himself. Gu Zheng did not want Taotie to become a madman who only knew how to kill and cultivate.
There were many demons in the Myriad Valley Mountain. Soon, Gu Zheng and the others saw flying demons landing. The deeper they went, the more there were. There was a large open space in the innermost area. At this moment, there were dozens of tables. Many demons were sitting there drinking wine and eating meat.
The meat that the demons ate was only roasted. It was very simple and could not be considered a delicacy. However, some of the wild fruits on the table were not bad. They were all natural. Unfortunately, the fruits were not good with wine. Most of the demons here held bones and bowls as they drank.
There were quite a number of demons. There were at least three to four hundred of them. All of them were above the Heaven Immortal realm. There were about fifty Jin Xian. Sitting at the top were three Jin Xian. They all had two horns on their heads. They were not ordinary horns, but dragon horns, flood dragon horns.
At the top were three flood dragon demons.
No wonder they dared to go to the Thousand Peak Mountain to participate in the treasure hunt. These demons were not weak. Now that the weapon spirit was not by Gu Zheng's side, Gu Zheng could only guess the strength of the other party by himself. The three flood dragon demons were all extraordinary. They were probably at the late stage of the Jin Xian. The Jin Xian below were not weak either.
This made Gu Zheng very puzzled. Could it be that there was no battlefield between liches and demons nearby? How could there be so many powerful yaos here? It should be known that in the Juming Tribe, there were only a few dozen yaos with the strength of a Gold Immortal.
These demons were eating and drinking. From time to time, there would be demons coming over. Looking at them, they were gathering.
As for the demons who were eating and drinking, it was a continuous banquet. After hiding for half a day, Gu Zheng and Taotie finally figured out what was going on here.
There was a demon lair in the Thousand Valley Mountain called the Three Immortals Cave. The so-called Three Immortals were the three flood dragons. They were demons, but they were called Immortals. It was very strange.
It was not that the demons here were not recruited. The Three Immortals were also recruited. It was just that they were lucky. The war had ended and they had won. They were originally going to the Heaven Realm to be officials and then go to reinforce other battlefields. Because they had a holiday, they returned to their lair first.
Humans could return home in glory, and so could demons. Now that they were officially Sky Officials, they naturally had to show off.
As soon as they returned, they found that a treasure had appeared nearby. How could they miss such a good thing after winning a long war? It was just that they returned late. Many human immortals had already gone to the Thousand Peak Mountain and occupied the place. The three flood dragons were not stupid. They immediately thought of gathering their companions.
First, the companions who had fought with them before. Those who won could be conferred the title of Sky Officials. Now that most of them had not gone to the Heaven Realm, they were invited to fight for the treasure together.
There were also other familiar companions. As long as they were Yaos, they could call them over. Just like that, all the Yaos within hundreds of thousands of kilometers had come, making this place quite lively. Their strength had also increased by quite a bit.
According to their estimates, at least a hundred Jin Xian would gather here in the end. The number of Sky Immortals might reach a thousand. It was enough to drive away all the immortals at the Thousand Peak Mountain. When these people were talking, it was as if the treasure of the Thousand Peak Mountain had already fallen into their hands.
They also discussed that after they got the treasure, they would give it to the Demon Saint. These people were all subordinates of the same Demon Saint.
The Demon Saints here were not the so-called Seven Great Saints. There were a total of ten Demon Saints. The ten Big Goblin Saints were all Demi-Saints. They were very powerful, and they were the new subordinates of Demon Saint Ji Meng.
Giving the newly born treasure to the Demon Saint, and working together to obtain it, would make it easier for them to gain a foothold in the Heaven Realm. It was also because of this that the three flood dragons responded to the call. Everyone came to help.
"Heaven Realm?"
Gu Zheng shook his head gently. These demons actually wanted to be officials in the Heaven Realm. It was a pity that the Heaven Realm would belong to the Human Race in the future. After the Goblin perished, although the Human Race did not immediately occupy the Heaven Realm, it would not be long before the Heaven Realm belonged to the Human Race. The Human Race had even established the Heavenly Court.
These demons' final wish was destined to fail.
However, with so many demons there, it was indeed a threat to the Human Race immortals. Gu Zheng did not have any feelings for the Human Race immortals there. He just did not want to add to the trouble. Seeing so many demons eating the banquet, Gu Zheng's eyes suddenly turned.
"Taotie, come with me!"
Gu Zheng called Taotie quietly and then left the Myriad Valley Mountain. He hid on a path that was necessary to go to the Myriad Valley Mountain. After a while, three demons flew over from afar. They were all Celestial Immortals.
It was a piece of cake for Gu Zheng to deal with Celestial Immortals. The three demons were easily caught by them. The most powerful of the three demons was at the Void Return Realm, and the other two were at the Divine Transformation Realm. After being caught by Gu Zheng, they looked at him and Taotie in horror.
The Human Race immortals were Jin Xian. They did not understand why the Human Race Jin Xian would appear near the Myriad Valley Mountain and why he would attack them. They were just passing by.
