The water puppet's body kept shrinking. At this time, the water in the bead was completely empty and it became a transparent ball again.
The remaining water flow directly covered the water puppet's body. The water puppet was directly turned into dozens of pieces and fell from the sky into puddles of water, lying on the ground.
Some water flow was still covering it and was still constantly consuming it.
Gu Zheng saw that the path to the finish line had already been opened. He put away the sphere and immediately rushed over. He discovered that a door was slowly closing. It seemed to be blocking the people behind, not allowing them to enter through the path that had been opened.
Tai Hong Yun also saw the door that was about to close. He used all his strength and ran over at full speed. When there was only one person left, he finally entered through the side.
Tai Hong Yun did not even have time to catch his breath. He looked at Gu Zheng beside him and immediately nodded respectfully and retreated to the side. He had already convinced him with his powerful strength.
As for the Shura at the back, he was afraid of being affected when the water puppet appeared, so he stayed far behind. When he was about a hundred meters away from the finish line, the gate was closed and he did not make it in time.
"Damn it, I was just one step away."
The Shura punched the door hard. It would be a lie if he said that he did not regret it. If he was a little closer, he might have been able to enter with the person in front of him. Now, he was so close and he could enter. It was such a pity.
He did not regret it for long. He accepted reality and prepared to enter through the nearest passage. This way, he could make up for the little regret in his heart.
When he turned around and was ready to leave, he found two hundred water puppets staring at him and had already blocked his way.
Wasn't it destroyed? Why did it appear again? The Shura thought in panic.
It turned out that although the water puppet was scattered by the water flow, the defense that he had done before had successfully reduced the total amount of water flow and greatly weakened the power of the water flow.
If there were hundreds of small water puppets, there would not be any residue left. So when the water flow ran out of energy, there were still a lot of water puppets.
There were still a lot of water blobs left, and they split into small water puppets one by one, blocking the Shura in front of them.
Although the aura of these water puppets was not as strong as before, they were still not something that the unlucky Shura could deal with. He could not even break out of the encirclement.
Soon, these water puppets surrounded him one by one and with some desperate struggles.
"Ah."
A scream before death passed through the small stone door and into Gu Zheng's ears. Gu Zheng did not care and was now observing the two transmission points.
But Tai Hong Yun's heart was filled with joy. He never thought that he would be so lucky. Of course, he knew that there was someone behind him with the same idea.
Unfortunately, he was still a step too late. He didn't know what he had encountered outside, but he actually died outside. It was too sad.
Once the stone door was closed, it could not be opened again.
Right now, there were only three entrances in the center. If one person entered, the stone door would close. Could it be that only four people would be able to enter the next level?
Actually, Tai Hong Yun was wrong. Only when this passage was passed by brute force, every trap had to be triggered and defeated successfully. Only then would the stone door be closed and the others would be left open.
But this stone door was closed, which meant that there was a dead end outside. If one was unlucky enough to find this place, they would have to search again.
Gu Zheng looked at the huge stone circle in front of him. There were two transmission points shining. One was shining with black light and the other was shining with white light.
Which one was the correct one to pass through this level and where did the other lead?
These two questions kept popping up in Gu Zheng's head, but he was the first one to come in, so he couldn't tell which one was correct. Perhaps in this world, there was some explanation, but he didn't want to go out again. His sphere was empty, and he didn't even know how to fill it.
Gu Zheng looked at the Shura next to him, wondering if he should let him explore the way.
Tai Hong Yun saw that Gu Zheng was looking at him, his eyes flashing with unknown information and emitting a dangerous gaze. How could he not know what Gu Zheng was thinking?
He hurriedly said, "My Lord, I have no other choice. If I go in first and don't come back, I will not be able to confirm which one is correct."
Gu Zheng turned his head back and thought about it. Tai Hong Yun was right. Whether it was correct or not, as long as he did not come back, he would not be able to confirm.
Tai Hong Yun wiped the cold sweat that suddenly appeared on his forehead and moved further away from Gu Zheng. He was afraid that Gu Zheng would take things too hard and throw him out to explore the way.
Gu Zheng still had some understanding of gossip. Of course, he did not know much about it.
"Yin and Yang give birth to the Four Symbols, and the Four Symbols give birth to the Eight Trigrams."
The two transmission points in the middle should represent the two extremes of Yin and Yang. Generally speaking, white symbolized Yang, black symbolized Yin, Qian and Dui represented Gold, Kun and Gen represented Earth, Zhen and Xun represented Wood, Kan represented Water, and Li represented Fire.
He came in from the Kan position and all the mechanisms he encountered along the way were indeed related to water. The other places should be arranged in the same way.
However, he did not know if the Elder Ancestor had copied it. Although he did not experience the passage, he knew that it was not something that could be imitated.
This place was more like a simple simulation by the Elder Ancestor. There were no endless changes at all. Later, the Elder Ancestor realized that he did not understand it, so he just left it here and modified it slightly to make it a test.
In that case, it should be correct to enter the white transmission point. However, basically everyone knew about it. What if the Elder Ancestor deliberately did the opposite?
Gu Zheng suddenly became suspicious. He didn't know what was the right thing to do.
For a moment, Gu Zheng's heart was filled with irritation. He could not calm down and think at all. It was as if something was interfering with him.
"Forget it." Gu Zheng simply chose one and walked directly to the white transmission point in front of him.
If he followed the normal path, the Elder Ancestor would not have arranged it casually. This was a very strict matter.
Gu Zheng comforted himself in his heart and directly entered the white transmission point.
A familiar feeling entered his body, making Gu Zheng feel that his decision was correct.
"Bang!"
When the surrounding light became faster and faster, just before the transmission point, the light ball on Gu Zheng's body automatically came out and turned into a round ball to surround Gu Zheng.
The power of the transmission directly acted on the round ball. Then, Gu Zheng was directly bounced out by a huge force and slammed into the wall beside him.
Gu Zheng looked at everything in front of him. He was still a little confused from the huge shock and did not react. He was still in a daze as he looked at everything in front of him.
At this time, Gu Zheng looked at the round ball that trapped him. A crack began to appear on it, and then it instantly spread across the entire shield. With a crash, it shattered into pieces of starlight and completely disappeared in front of Gu Zheng.
After a while, Gu Zheng got up from the ground. He seemed to have understood something.
It was very likely that the transmission point did not reach the next level. As a result, the round ball sensed that he was about to be sent out and helped him break free from the power of the transmission. At the same time, he was also damaged and directly disappeared.
The hidden reward of the first level played a huge role at this moment. This was worthy of the two of them working so hard. Previously, he had thought that it was to help him break through the last level.
Now that he thought about it, if not for it, he could have gone around from the side. It was not necessary to fight at the last level. It was just a coincidence that the round ball had absorbed so much power from somewhere and jumped out uncontrollably. By coincidence, it had fought with the last level.
No wonder it was placed together with the recovery medicine. In this test, it was indeed comparable to that medicinal pill. If he had to choose, he would rather choose this round ball.
Although the round ball had been damaged and disappeared, it had completed its mission and pointed out the direction for him. Otherwise, he would have been trapped in that place and could only wait until the time came to send him out.
Next, Gu Zheng looked at the lucky Shura. He did not have to worry about which one to enter because he had already found the path for him. Gu Zheng naturally went to the black transmission point and quickly disappeared.
Tai Hong Yun felt that his luck would change in the future. He did not expect that the person he had brought would have a secret treasure. Treasures obtained in secret realms could only be used here and could not be taken out.
He could also see that if it was an external treasure, it would not be able to block the transmission power. Only a treasure left behind by the Old Ancestor could block it.
Could it have been dropped in the middle of the test? Tai Hong Yun did not know and did not need to know. He also walked into the black transmission point and smoothly passed through.
After five days, Ji Yi finally appeared on the side. Looking at the two teleportation points, he walked into the black one without hesitation. Previously, on a dead end, he had found a strange clue that pointed out that the white teleportation point was an illusion. Then, the black teleportation point was the correct path.
Ji Yi walked into the transmission point, and when he came back to his senses, he was shocked to find that he was in a luxurious room. However, there were only three rooms, and the surrounding walls were empty. Looking at the names of the rooms, Ji Yi fell into deep thought.
After another three days, Pan Xuan, who was in a sorry state, walked out. Looking at the real and fake arrangements, she coldly laughed. She had already solved the source of the interference and was no longer affected.
Looking at it now, she understood that the white transmission point gave off a formless energy. This was the eye of the formation that interfered with people's thoughts, so the black one was the correct path.
Pan Xuan also stepped into the black transmission point and disappeared.
Pan Xuan's eyes lit up. The three jade pavilions were faintly discernible in the distance, and connecting them were three jade bridges. On each bridge, there was a jade plaque. Pan Xuan looked at the words on the plaque thoughtfully and pondered.
....
Gu Zheng's vision darkened, and when he opened his eyes again, he found himself in a cave. The cave was not high, and Gu Zheng could reach it if he stood up and raised his hand.
He was in a corner, and behind him was a dead end. There was a torch not far ahead, and there were three caves next to the torch. Only this weak light source illuminated this place.
Gu Zheng's injuries had not healed yet, but he still walked over. He did not need to look to know that there was no danger here.
When he came to the only light source, Gu Zheng saw a few words written above the cave. He knew what was written above the three caves.
Left: Pills
Right: Treasures
At a glance, it was obvious that these two things corresponded to each other. If he went through smoothly, he would arrive at the final reward. Looking at it carefully, most people needed these two things.
There was no lack of cultivation methods that could be cultivated to this level, unless it was a rogue cultivator. However, most of the people here cultivated the Shura Race's own cultivation methods, and there were all kinds of them. The Shura people did not lack them at all, so they were not listed separately.
The two caves extended outwards at an angle. It was pitch black inside, and he couldn't see clearly.
The most eye-catching one was of course the one in the middle, because there was an eye-catching red word written on it.
"Abandoned Land"
There was also a sign at the bottom. Gu Zheng walked over to take a closer look, and saw the words written on it.
"The amount of time I've spent in the Primeval World is incalculable. I've sealed all the enemies, opponents, and strange things I've met in here … Remember, there's bound to be great danger inside. I wanted to throw them into the Blood Sea and refine them. However, I thought of this as an opportunity, so I left them here and waited for the fated ones to enter."
There was a lot of content in the middle, and Gu Zheng read it carefully. It roughly talked about the ancestor's early travels, when he was not as strong as he was now. In the end, he created the Secret Realm ten thousand years ago, and all the enemies and special things that could not be killed were stored inside.
There were also the skeletons of some of the more powerful enemies, as well as some of the more hated enemies. In fact, the Patriarch had captured some of them to torture. Now, all of them were here. In any case, the Patriarch had never gone in to take a look. He originally wanted to refine them in the Blood Sea, but in the end, he left them here, hoping that some people would be lucky enough to obtain something that others could not.
Of course, there were many of the ancestor's enemies inside. Although the ancestor was not afraid at all, he still had to warn his clansmen not to join in the fun.
Of course, this was all Gu Zheng's guess. However, since it mentioned that some of his enemies were suppressed to death inside, then there might be many treasures that they carried with them.
The ancestor had his own Natal Treasure, so of course, he would not care about other things. At most, he would just take a glance and not pay attention to it.
Even this huge Spatial Treasure was given to his clansmen to test. Although it was only a failed half-finished product, it was still very powerful.
However, Gu Zheng knew that some Spiritual Treasures of Heaven and Earth could not be discovered even if they were right in front of you. When the time was not right, sometimes it could be used as a poker. If one or two of them were left inside, he would be rich if he found them.
Although he (Master) was born of Heaven and Earth, if he took out his own Dharma Treasure, it would be a joke. The only powerful Dharma Treasure he had was lent to him by others.
To be honest, as his strength increased, those Dharma Treasures that were more powerful would not be able to keep up with him.
For example, if he became a Sage-to-be, the Immortal-Slaying Gourd's role would be dispensable. When facing enemies of the same level, it would not be effective. He would need a more powerful Dharma Treasure.
If he only relied on his physical body and his unique skills, he would be at a disadvantage.
Although it was too hasty for him at the moment, his ordinary Dharma Treasures were enough. However, he still had to be prepared for a rainy day.
Moreover, the ancestor also said that if he encountered danger inside, he could activate the ring in time and escape from here in an instant. He could go directly to the Transmission Formation and then leave.
Although it was very likely that something would happen inside and he would not be able to activate it in time and die on the spot, danger and opportunity went hand in hand. Many things inside were priceless at this time. If he really obtained a very powerful Dharma Treasure, then Gu Zheng could really laugh.
When he was in the Puppet Town, he had asked Pan Xuan indirectly about how to use the ring. He had personally tried it several times. The feeling of teleportation was indeed very convenient. He could activate it by manipulating his body.
In this way, he had such good conditions. Why not give it a try?
Gu Zheng did not have a great desire for elixirs and Dharma Treasures. Because no matter how powerful they were, this was only a place for Jin Xian to train. Some powerful Dharma Treasures might be very useful in the Zenith Heaven Realm, but there would never be any Dharma Treasures that would be useful in the Sage-to-be Realm.
Therefore, no matter what, he had to go in and take a look. After making up his mind, Gu Zheng began to sit cross-legged and began to work hard to recover from his injuries.
Three days later, Gu Zheng stood up energetically. After recuperating, Gu Zheng felt that his essence, Qi and spirit had recovered to their peak. Although his Immortal Qi storage still could not reach the highest level, it was enough.
Gu Zheng did not look at the sides and directly walked in from the middle passage.
It was very dark. It could be said that he could not see his fingers if he stretched out his hand. Other than his footsteps echoing in the cave, everything else was very quiet.
After walking for half a day in the passage, he did not see any light source. Moreover, Gu Zheng deliberately emitted a ball of light. Unfortunately, it could not be seen outside his body. It was as if there was a force that directly swallowed the light.
Gu Zheng did not know how long he walked like this. He estimated that it had been three or four days. However, there was still no end. There was no way to increase his speed here. He could only walk at a normal pace.
Just when Gu Zheng thought that he would have to walk for many days, a terrifying suction force suddenly came from inside. Although Gu Zheng was fully prepared, he was still directly pulled in by the suction force.
Gu Zheng did not know what kind of feeling was cold. That distant memory in his body told him that it really existed. He was directly headed east.
Gu Zheng thought in a daze. Could it be that it was freezing again today? With a jolt, he suddenly woke up. Only then did he realize that he was no longer the food critic in the past.
At this moment, he was lying in a hall. There was a dark hole above him. He guessed that he had fallen from above. He felt a faint pain on his back.
