"Don't underestimate it. All of its medicinal properties are concentrated inside. It is one of the top medicinal pills of our Asura Race. If you are seriously injured and on the verge of death, you will recover in less than half an hour after consuming this pill. It is also very effective for Big Heavenly Immortals. At least half of their injuries can be healed. Tell me, isn't it powerful?"
Pan Xuan kept it carefully. She did not have such a medicinal pill either. The medicinal ingredients used were very precious and only a few pills were produced every year. Usually, all of them were taken away by the higher-ups. This was a life-saving item.
Gu Zheng did not believe that it had such a powerful effect. However, looking at Pan Xuan's serious face, it seemed that it was not bad. Gu Zheng also kept it carefully. Who knows, it might be able to save a life. Gu Zheng hoped that he would never have to use it.
"Then, this." Gu Zheng looked at the round ball. There was no reaction when he injected immortal energy into it. Could this be another special item of the Asura Race?
"I don't know either. This is my first time seeing it. Maybe it will be useful in the future." To Gu Zheng's surprise, Pan Xuan did not know the specific use of this item. Gu Zheng wanted to keep it but found that he could not.
Pan Xuan was the same. She could only keep it with her. Gu Zheng looked at the empty room. There was not even a single extra item.
However, to be able to obtain such a heaven-defying medicinal pill was not bad. If not for Pan Xuan, he would have left the hall even if he was beaten to death.
However, this time, Gu Zheng also knew his shortcomings. Although Pan Xuan's cultivation was not as high as his, he could not compare to her in terms of knowledge.
Usually, he would not be able to tell. However, when some rare item appeared, he could not recognize it at all. Yet, she could tell at a glance.
He must have read a lot of ancient books in the clan. Although he had read a few scattered books, it was not as comprehensive as the Asura Clan. He only knew about some of the more familiar magic treasures or some special things.
After confirming that there was nothing, Pan Xuan and Gu Zheng returned to the teleportation point.
Standing at the teleportation point, neither of them was in a hurry to enter. They stood silently at the side, as though waiting for the other to speak first.
"I'll be leaving first." It was Pan Xuan who broke the silence. She smiled and walked straight to the teleportation point, leaving Gu Zheng with a big smile before disappearing.
Gu Zheng also breathed a sigh of relief. He knew what Pan Xuan was looking forward to, but he didn't have the fortune to enjoy it. He really didn't know what Pan Xuan saw in him. Why would she be moved by him? He hadn't known her for long.
Gu Zheng walked in and disappeared as well.
At this moment, in the cave outside, Sir Hao was watching all of this in a daze. He had wanted to go up and ask Deng Wenxuan if Young Master Yu had left any other information behind.
However, when he reached the edge, he found that he could not go up. There was a restrictive barrier blocking him, which infuriated him. Thankfully, Deng Wenxuan's voice soon reached his ears.
"Lord Hao, this restriction can only be opened after the first nine people come out. I don't have a way either. However, Young Master Yu left some good things for you inside. Come out together when the time comes."
Emissary Wu's explanation made Lord Hao feel much better. Only then did he quietly wait below.
There were still more than two hundred people in the center. Now that they couldn't go out and didn't have the qualifications to enter the trial, they could only discuss in boredom in the center. They were guessing what good things would be in the room in the end.
On the other side of the valley, they were far away from them and huddled together.
Emissary Wu watched this scene coldly from above. Although he wanted to kill all of them, he couldn't do it with his strength. He might not even win against Lord Hao now.
He could only wait for an opportunity to improve his strength. Even if he recovered 20% of his strength, it would be enough for him to reach the early stage of the Grand Luo Realm. Then, he wouldn't shrink back like this.
One had to know that although the trial was random, he had specially arranged it. He hoped that a few more of them would die inside.
Unfortunately, he didn't know the specifics in the body's memory. He could only order them according to the danger level. There were still many things that he didn't know.
In the corners and in some invisible shadows, some black fog was quietly hiding, waiting for its master's call.
"Lord Asura, if you see that I'm still alive and that I've disrupted so many of your plans, will you regret suppressing me here in order to extract my power? It's all thanks to your clansmen that I didn't die miserably here. Let them suffer my wrath."
The anger in Emissary Wu's heart was already burning to the sky. However, he didn't show it on his face. He had already waited for hundreds of thousands of years. He didn't lack time. Even if he died, he wouldn't have any regrets.
When Gu Zheng opened his eyes again, he found himself standing in a cave.
The tall ceiling of the cave sealed off the sky. There was a stone wall at the back and the side. The stone wall was five feet high. He was in a circular circle. There was only a stone door facing him. The rest of the walls were bare.
Gu Zheng tried, but he was still unable to fly. It was the same as the cave outside. There was a mysterious energy restricting this place.
Gu Zheng took out a flying sword and slashed it in all directions. In the end, he used all his strength and only left a very shallow mark. It seemed that he could not break through with brute force. He just did not know where this place was.
Suddenly, another person appeared beside Gu Zheng. Gu Zheng looked familiar. Thinking about it carefully, he should have seen him once in the red hall.
Another person appeared. It seemed that many people had passed the first trial. But why were they all gathered here?
Gu Zheng wondered. Could it be that this trial required many people to work together to pass?
But when the last person appeared, the door in front of him rumbled open.
The other two were still in a daze. They were also looking around and repeating the same actions as him. However, while Gu Zheng was not in the mood to laugh at them, his heart skipped a beat. After the stone door opened, there was a large word carved on the wall in front of them.
"Kan."
If this had happened anywhere else, Gu Zheng could have said it wasn't just two words. But here, it was another trial.
It was very likely that this was an Eight Trigrams formation. Gu Zheng felt that it had been severely shrunk. It was just similar to Fuxi.
What was this old ancestor thinking? He was even going to show off Fuxi's Eight Trigrams. How was he going to live?
Gu Zheng kept cursing in his heart. Fortunately, Gu Zheng thought that this was a trial for the Shura people. It couldn't be that crazy. Otherwise, he might as well just wait for death.
At this time, the other two people also noticed the words in front of them. They were also uneasy.
Although Fuxi wasn't famous, the Eight Trigrams he calculated were much more famous than him. Seeing this word and the surrounding environment, it was impossible not to think about it.
"Friend, do you think we should go together?" The two people seemed to know each other. One of them walked over to Gu Zheng and suggested.
It wasn't that they were afraid. Although they knew that the old ancestor definitely wouldn't set up a situation where they had to die, they were still stunned.
Although they didn't know Gu Zheng's name, everyone knew that Gu Zheng was Pan Xuan's lover. Although they couldn't see his cultivation, they knew that he was much stronger than the two of them. He was probably one of the top peak experts in terms of combat strength. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to subdue Pan Xuan.
The two of them discussed briefly and prepared to go together with Gu Zheng. This way, they could take care of each other.
"Sure, just call me Gu Zheng. There's no need to be polite." Gu Zheng was now someone who respected him ten times. However, he didn't know that he was famous because of Pan Xuan. That was why everyone looked up to him. He unconsciously lowered his posture.
The other two people introduced themselves. The first person who spoke to Gu Zheng was called Jiang Ou. The other person was called Tai Bai. Both of them were at the late stage of Jin Xian.
"Daoist Gu, watch how we go next." Gu Zheng looked at the two people who seemed to follow his lead. This was his first time, so how would he know how to go?
"Let's go first. It's not a good idea to stay here now." Gu Zheng obviously wouldn't show it on his face. He could only take one step at a time.
"Okay." The two of them looked at each other and said at the same time.
Gu Zheng knew that the other party was waiting for him to take the lead, so he didn't mind. It was impossible to encounter danger at the beginning. He would go first.
Gu Zheng took the lead and walked in. The two people followed closely behind.
When the three of them entered, the door behind quickly closed. The movement gave the three of them a fright.
Gu Zheng took a few steps and reached the corner. A straight passage appeared in front of him. At the end of the passage was a familiar light. It was a teleportation point.
The passage was very wide. It wouldn't be a problem for at least ten Gu Zheng to walk side by side. It wasn't crowded at all.
This was really beyond Gu Zheng's expectations. Although the passage was exceptionally long and Gu Zheng estimated that it would take him half a day to rush there at full speed, he couldn't see anything along the way.
Jiang Ou and Tai Bai were also stunned when they saw this. They were in disbelief as they looked at Gu Zheng and waited for him to make a decision.
"Let's continue forward." Gu Zheng said directly. He had to take a look no matter what. Besides, this was the only path he could take.
After walking for dozens of meters, a passage suddenly appeared on the right. The passage only opened when Gu Zheng approached it. There were no signs of it before.
"Let's continue forward." Gu Zheng looked at the passage that suddenly appeared. At the end of the passage was a corner. He didn't know what was inside.
As Gu Zheng walked, a passage appeared on both sides from time to time. When they walked through it, it closed again.
Furthermore, as they continued forward, Gu Zheng felt a sense of pressure wrap around his heart, as though there was danger ahead.
However, Gu Zheng, we didn't find any problems with him. Everything was normal.
As Gu Zheng walked, he stepped on a groove as though he had triggered some mechanism.
Three water swords appeared out of thin air from both sides and in front of them. The moment they appeared, they shot towards them at an extremely fast speed, making it impossible to dodge.
Gu Zheng felt that every water sword had Jin Xian's full-strength strike in the latter stages. However, there were too few of them. The three of them didn't even move. Gu Zheng alone dispersed them.
As they continued forward, when they passed by three intersections, Gu Zheng stepped on another mechanism. Six water swords appeared and charged at the three of them.
"What's going on?" Gu Zheng didn't let the water swords approach him. A few sword beams intercepted them midway.
He had been paying attention to his feet at all times, but he still touched the mechanism.
Following that, Gu Zheng realized that after every three passages, they continued to move forward a little. No matter how careful Gu Zheng was, he couldn't avoid touching the mechanism. As a result, more and more water swords appeared in the air.
Now, Gu Zheng had taken out his weapon. Last time, a few water swords had slipped through, but they didn't pose a threat to Taibai and the others.
Gu Zheng and the other two also understood that there was a pattern. As they moved forward, the resistance would become stronger each time. When you felt that you couldn't withstand it and retreated into the passage behind, as long as you retreated quickly, the opponent's attack wouldn't be able to reach you.
However, why were there three passages? Gu Zheng guessed. Only one of the three would lead to the next step. The other two were either traps or retreating to the back.
When they touched the mechanism again, Gu Zheng thought that there should be 96 water swords in three directions. However, when they appeared, they were densely packed in the air. There were about 500 to 600 water swords on each side.
This time, Gu Zheng's expression changed. Was there a need to be so ferocious, using such a big move right from the start? The faces of the two people behind him turned pale. If so many arrows were shot at them at the same time, the two of them would definitely be shot into holes.
"Retreat!"
Gu Zheng shouted. Fortunately, although the water swords were fast, it was enough for them to retreat to the closest passage. As they retreated, Gu Zheng saw that the water swords had already arrived before him.
"Do you want to go in and hide first?" Taibai and the other two stood behind an open passage door and asked anxiously.
"No need."
Gu Zheng controlled the four immortal swords beside him while he held a longsword in his hand. He did his best to resist. Every time he swung, a few water swords would be scattered. Occasionally, some would pass through, but they would be blocked by Taibai and Taibai Jinxing.
The two of them stood outside the passage. If anything went wrong, they would enter to hide.
The water swords on the two sides also chased after them. Gu Zheng's sharp senses noticed that there was a gap between the three waves of water swords. They would not arrive at the same time. If that was the case, Gu Zheng could still barely block them. However, if they all arrived at Gu Zheng at the same time, Gu Zheng would probably run without hesitation.
Gu Zheng did his best to create a mirage in front of him. As the water swords were scattered by Gu Zheng, the immortal energy within Gu Zheng's body was rapidly depleted. In fact, after maintaining such a high intensity, Gu Zheng was gasping for breath.
When there were only a few water swords left, Gu Zheng continued to slash at the water swords. Suddenly, the remaining water swords sped up. In a moment of carelessness, the tens of water swords broke through Gu Zheng's defence and shot towards Taibai and the other two.
"Oh no!" Gu Zheng quickly turned around and chased after them. Under his interception, most of the water swords had been destroyed. He was unable to block the remaining dozen water swords.
Now, Gu Zheng's body was greatly depleted. 60% of his immortal energy had been consumed. Now, his face was pale.
Fortunately, Taibai and the other two were prepared. They took out their weapons against the dozens of water swords. Jiang Ou looked at the attack in front of him and calmed down. He would not let them make a fool of themselves.
However, every time he came into contact with the water swords, a huge impact made him uncomfortable. When he saw how relaxed Gu Zheng was, he thought that it was not as powerful as he had imagined. He did not expect that the moment he came into contact with the water swords, he was almost beaten back and could not stand.
After the last water sword on his side was scattered, Jiang Ou finally could not block the impact. He took a few steps back and directly entered the passage, leaning against the wall of the passage.
Jiang Ou saw that there was finally no threat. He wiped the non-existent sweat and put away his weapon. He prepared to go out and meet up with them.
"Bang!"
Jiang Ou, who was unprepared, bumped into an air wall. Jiang Ou covered his sour nose and looked in front of him in disbelief. There was clearly nothing, but his hand touched it.
A faint layer of light appeared and blocked him from going out.
"Taibai, can you hear me?" Jiang Ou's heart skipped a beat. He saw that Taibai seemed to be searching for his gaze. However, he was clearly opposite him. How could he not see him?
Jiang Ou used both hands to hit the air wall in front of him. However, there was nothing but a ripple. Jiang Ou took out his weapon but could not break through.
"Taibai, Taibai, Daoist Gu, can you hear me?" Jiang Ou shouted loudly in the passage. He even took out his weapon to make some noise. His ears were about to go deaf. However, the two of them still did not respond. Their eyes kept looking back and forth in the passage. They did not see him at all.
The depressed Jiang Ou leaned against the wall. He did not expect to be separated from the other party because of a mistake.
At this moment, Jiang Ou realized that Taibai and Gu Zheng were talking about something. Then, Taibai's hand reached out towards him. Jiang Ou watched as Taibai's hand disappeared in front of him. It was as if it had reached into another space. Jiang Ou's wish to reach out to him fell through.
At this moment, Gu Zheng looked at Taibai curiously. He had also seen Jiang Ou being bumped in. However, when he came here, he suddenly realized that Jiang Ou was no longer in the passage.
Just now, Taibai Jinxing had said that he wanted to enter the body to see what was going on, and Gu Zheng had agreed.
Taibai first carefully extended an arm. When he saw that most of his arm had gone in, there was no problem at all. Taibai even hammered the wall, causing a sound. Everything was normal as well.
There was no danger. Taibai became a little bolder. Now, half of his leg had gone in. His head was outside. Taibai tried going back and forth. He even put his head in, but nothing happened.
"Daoist Gu, can you feel anything?" Taibai's probing did not yield any results. Therefore, he asked Gu Zheng to see if Gu Zheng could sense anything.
Before Gu Zheng could answer, Taibai Jinxing leaned in a little and suddenly disappeared. Looking at Taibai Jinxing's doubtful eyes, Taibai Jinxing was still waiting for his answer. Then, he suddenly disappeared, as if someone had dragged him in.
Gu Zheng was speechless. He had become a loner again.
