Half a day later, Gu Zheng sat outside, motionless. However, his eyebrows were deeply furrowed, and there was a faint bitter smile on his face.
Only now did he know why Yuan Li had asked him to help protect him.
The Heavenly Essence Plant had caused a huge commotion. When he was inside, there was almost no commotion. It turned out that it had been waiting for this moment to erupt.
However, this was also in line with its status. The higher the level of an item, the greater the commotion when it was born.
Above the entire mountain, countless violent Spiritual Qi shot up into the sky. Everyone within a radius of ten thousand miles could feel the changes here.
Beside the mountain peak, a violent hurricane appeared out of nowhere. All the trees on the mountain peak were swept away, as if these low-level things were an eyesore to the Heavenly Origin Plant, so they were swept away from its side.
Even many of the small demons in the distance were blown far away. For a moment, the surrounding area was empty and quiet.
However, one of the formations he had set up was destroyed. Gu Zheng did not expect this. Even the foundation flew away. Of course, the formation would be destroyed by itself.
The closer they got to the peak, the more violent the phenomenon became. Violent spiritual energy kept exploding in the air, making 'bang bang' sounds. This was only caused by a trace of spiritual energy leaked out from the Heavenly Essence Plant. What kind of pressure was Yuan Li going through inside?
It was unknown when, but dark clouds had appeared in the sky, covering the entire sky nearby, making it seem much darker below.
The fog inside was constantly churning. Streaks of lightning kept appearing, accompanied by the sound of thunder.
Such an earth-shattering scene provided a very obvious target for those who were looking for the abnormality. They would definitely come to check it out.
Normally, such a scene would either be the birth of a treasure, or someone using a heaven-defying technique. Perhaps, there was a supreme genius undergoing a tribulation here.
However, even a fool would know that undergoing a tribulation here was simply stupid. Therefore, this possibility could be ruled out.
Gu Zheng hoped that not so many people would come to join in the fun and not cause trouble for him. However, the more he thought about it, the more it came to him.
In the southeast direction of the mountain, a few rays of light were rushing over. When they were about ten miles away from the mountain, they suddenly stopped in the air.
This was the limit of the Heavenly Essence Plant's influence. He could barely feel its violent aura.
The leader was a white-haired old man with a cultivation base at the peak of the Heaven Immortal Realm. Behind him was a slightly younger middle-aged man, followed by a few young men and women.
At this moment, the old man in the lead was standing in front of them, feeling the astonishing might of Heaven and Earth not far in front of him. He seemed to be hesitating about something.
On the other hand, the young girl behind him had an impatient look on her face. Seeing that the old man in front of her had stopped moving forward, she could not help but urge, "Grandpa, what are we still doing here? Let's hurry up and go over. Otherwise, the treasure will be snatched away by others."
They happened to be near the Beise Mountain Range, and when they sensed the abnormality a few days ago, they rushed here as fast as they could.
"Ying 'er, don't worry. It might not be some treasure. Why does it look like someone is undergoing a tribulation?" Grandpa said with a serious look on his face.
"That's not right, Grandpa. Didn't you usually tell us that the danger of undergoing a tribulation in this place is too high? Even if we pass the tribulation, if some demon beasts attack us, there is a high chance that we will die soon. I think it looks like someone is using some kind of cultivation method, which caused the phenomenon between Heaven and Earth." Next to the young girl, a young man who looked relatively quiet said calmly.
"Cong 'er, you are really smart. It seems that you usually work very hard, unlike your sister who doesn't pay attention to what I said before." Grandpa praised, making the young man feel a little proud.
"I think second senior sister is right. It should be some kind of spiritual object or treasure that has appeared. I can't feel anyone's aura here." Another man, who looked slightly older than the South Pole, said unconvinced. He looked at the young girl with a different gaze.
"It doesn't matter if it's the birth of a treasure or something else. This phenomenon has just appeared, and the treasure won't appear in the next moment. In that case, we don't need to be anxious. Let's observe the situation first. There will definitely be others coming. We can't lose our lives for something we don't know about." Grandpa earnestly advised.
The few people behind him nodded and looked at him with admiration.
"Steward Liu, please pay more attention to the surroundings. Don't let them walk around randomly." Grandpa instructed the middle-aged man behind him.
"Yes, don't worry, Master." Steward Liu replied. The aura on his body was actually at the middle stage of the Celestial Immortal Realm. His hands were constantly glowing, vigilant of the surroundings. If there was any situation, he would take action. He must not let the young master and young miss get hurt.
The situation in front of them still did not change, and not far behind them, two figures, one white and one black, were approaching at an extremely fast speed.
Soon, they stopped not far away from them. The man was handsome, and the woman was elegant and dignified. The two of them looked to be about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old. However, there was a faint murderous aura on their bodies, as if they had just finished a battle.
The Grandpa took a look and saw that it was actually someone he knew. Before he could say anything, the woman opposite him opened her mouth and a sweet female voice sounded.
"Isn't this Uncle Chong? I didn't expect you to come so quickly. Do you know what happened here? Tell your niece. "
"I didn't see what it was, and I just arrived. But why did the Black and White Double Demons appear here? Don't you usually stroll around the seaside? Take a look and see if you can find out what's inside."
It was obvious that Grandpa Chong did not have a good impression of the two of them, and his tone was cold. Instead, it was the grandchildren behind him who greeted them.
"Hello, Elder Sister Qin. Hello, Elder Brother Qin." A few crisp voices sounded almost at the same time.
"Good, I haven't seen you for more than ten years. Ying 'er has grown even more beautiful. Old Chong, I really envy you." Elder Brother Qin greeted the juniors with a smile and teased them.
This made Grandpa Chong's expression somewhat complacent. These grandchildren had indeed boosted his morale, especially the two of them whose aptitudes were even worse than the clouds. Even an elder from the Great Snow Mountain personally came to borrow them, but he did not agree because he was sure that he could nurture them well.
"Do you want to die?" Elder Sister Qin stretched out her hand and twisted it, causing Elder Brother Qin to cry out in pain, causing the young boys and girls to laugh non-stop.
"Uncle Chong, you must be joking. We happened to be chasing down a scum, so we happened to be nearby. Since you don't know what's inside, we don't know what's inside."
In fact, they had seen that phenomenon half a month ago, and had only just arrived here.
"I see." Grandpa Chong suddenly understood. Just as he was about to say something, another two rays of light rushed towards them from afar. Further away, there were more rays of light that went around from other places and stopped outside to look at what was happening inside.
"Younger Sister Pei, I was right, right? They're here." A man's voice came from afar. By the time he finished speaking, two figures had already appeared in front of the group.
"You have good eyesight, to be able to see them from so far away." A pleasant voice came from the woman next to him. However, she looked at them with a vicious expression, as if there was some grudge between them.
"Ah, so Younger Sister Ying 'er is also here. I didn't see you before. You're getting more and more beautiful. Do you want to be my concubine? I'll treat you well, hehe." The man turned his head and saw Ying 'er. His eyes lit up, and he looked at her body unscrupulously. He couldn't help but say this.
"Who's your younger sister? Bah, bah! Shameless. "Ying 'er shrank back and avoided his gaze. She wouldn't give them a good look and rebuked him angrily.
The eldest disciple standing behind her was already looking at the man with fire in his eyes. If not for the fact that he wasn't a match for him, he would have already pounced on him. How dare he tease his beloved Ying 'er? He was courting death.
Grandpa Chong stood in front of his granddaughter with an ugly expression. If the other party was so presumptuous, he wouldn't be polite.
Seeing this, the man withdrew his gaze in embarrassment. As for that brat, he didn't care, so he turned his gaze to the Twin Ghosts of Black and White.
"Why don't you go in and chat here? Aren't you worried that the treasure inside will be taken away by others?"
"Why don't you go in first? Go ahead and get the treasure. Do you see in the distance? Some people have already gone in. Don't go back empty-handed, "Brother Qin said sarcastically.
"Grandpa, look, there seems to be a new change," Ying 'er suddenly shouted from the side at this time.
Hearing this, almost everyone turned their heads in that direction.
Sure enough, the dark clouds in the sky pressed down even more. Lightning struck down randomly, and the longest bolt was even close to the mountain peak. The surrounding violence was gradually decreasing, but everyone could feel that a storm was coming. It was as if all the violence from before had contracted and was ready to explode together.
"Is the treasure about to appear?" Grandpa Chong muttered to himself.
"Haha, I felt that something good was going to happen when I came out this time. It seems that my opportunity has arrived." The man laughed and looked at the mountain peak in the distance. It was as if the encirclement was already in his hands.
"But what if it's not a treasure, but someone practicing a cultivation technique? With so many people around, we might not be able to get it. I think it's better to wait outside." Although the woman did not pretend to be nice to others, she was very concerned about her man and said worriedly.
"It's okay, baby. There's no risk in doing anything. The appearance of this treasure is so big, it must be something good. Maybe the breakthrough will be here. I have a hunch that there will be a big harvest this time. It won't let us down," the man looked at the woman and said gently.
"But I'm still a little worried." At this time, the woman looked at her man's crazy behavior and did not care about being close to Sister Qin. She looked reluctant.
To her, nothing was more important than their lives, especially her man's life.
"Okay, don't worry. Do you want to go together? You should know that my luck has always been good. Maybe I can share some with you." The man laughed. As soon as he finished speaking, a flying sword suddenly appeared under his feet. He landed and flew quickly in the direction of the mountain peak.
The woman was stunned and looked worried. She also took out a flying sword and followed him.
"Husband, let's go. I can't be bothered with this group of adulterers." Sister Qin could not be bothered with them. Seeing them leave, she was also worried that someone would beat her to it. She wanted to pull her husband in another direction.
"Uncle Chong, aren't you going? We can take care of each other if we go together. "Brother Qin stopped and looked at them.
"No, I'm bringing the juniors out this time. I can't let them take the risk. If there is really a treasure, then I'll let you have it." Grandpa Chong shook his head.
"Okay, then we'll go first." Brother Qin did not say much. The two of them lowered their bodies and moved in the direction of the mountain peak. However, they chose a different route.
"Grandpa, what about us?" Seeing them leave, many figures in the distance had disappeared from the sky. Only a few people were standing in the same place. It seemed that many people had rushed over. After all, sometimes it was important to be one step ahead.
"Let's retreat. We don't want to get mixed up in this muddy water." Grandpa Chong felt that if he was young, he would have gone in no matter what. Now, he only wanted to train his grandchildren. He was not as hot-blooded as before.
"Okay." No matter how unwilling the others were, no one dared to oppose his opinion. Under his lead, they slowly retreated.
"At least you know what's good for you. Let me give you a suggestion. Stay away from here so that you don't get into trouble." A voice suddenly sounded in the sky.
The group of people looked around in panic but did not see anyone. Grandpa Chong hurriedly said respectfully, "I don't know who this senior is. Chong Shi Family, Chong Ding Shan, pays his respects to the senior."
"Don't ask me who I am. Leave this place quickly. The farther the better. Remember my advice. Don't try to get close to this place." The voice in the sky became softer and softer until it was inaudible.
"We'll retreat quickly. If anyone dares to move alone, I'll break their retreat." Chong Ding Shan wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and immediately shouted at the juniors. How could he not know what they were thinking? It seemed like some seniors had already gone in. Fortunately, he warned them. Otherwise, if something really happened and the juniors died, he would not be able to forgive himself even if he died.
.....
At this moment, the Twin Ghosts of Black and White were quickly approaching the small mountain. The closer they got, the more they could feel the Spirit Qi. Their tired bodies had completely disappeared under the nourishment of the Spirit Qi. It made them feel that this was an incredible treasure.
"Fellow Daoists, please go back. This is not a place where you can participate." Suddenly, a voice sounded in their ears.
"May I ask who you are? Are you trying to take the treasure for yourself?" The two of them stopped abruptly and leaned against each other, trying to guard against the other party's sneak attack.
"I'll give you one last advice. Leave this place quickly. Otherwise, I won't be polite. This is not something you can get your hands on. I'll give you one last warning." The voice seemed to be impatient and said coldly.
Their faces changed. The other party's tone was arrogant. It seemed like he did not care about the two of them who were at the peak of the Heavenly Immortal Realm. However, they did not know if it was really a senior or someone else who deliberately made them back out of this treasure hunt.
Just when they were unaware, the scene before them changed. The two of them suddenly came to an ocean. In the huge waves of the ocean, water puppets appeared on the surface of the water and attacked them.
"Not good. It's a formation."
The two of them turned pale. It was obvious that someone had been guarding the treasure. Now, they had fallen into an ambush.
When a few of the puppets got close to them, they stopped abruptly and raised their hands. A gush of seawater was sucked up from below. It formed a few water swords and shot towards them rapidly.
"Pfff!"
With just a few attacks from the puppets, their defense was directly penetrated. They could not help but turn pale again. In the next moment, they saw a few more water swords coming at them.
At this moment, Brother Qin was very lucky. He immediately shouted.
"We'll back out. We'll leave now. Senior, please have mercy."
The few water swords that were about to shoot into their lower limbs suddenly disappeared. Immediately after, their figures appeared in the forest from before.
The two of them were not stupid. They knew that the other party had spared their lives. The two of them did not waste any time and immediately fled side by side. They did not want to stay any longer.
It was not easy for them to get their lives back. Were they going to throw away their lives again?
.....
Gu Zheng, who was sitting cross-legged in the void at the entrance of the cave, was only a foot above the ground. At this moment, he slowly opened his eyes. There was no joy on his face.
Because in his perception, other than those low-level human demons, there was already a Jin Xian Stage figure who had secretly snuck in.
However, under this special interference, Gu Zheng had no idea what the other party's cultivation was. He also did not know where the other party was hiding.
Moreover, he could not release his own aura. It was as if there was an invisible force that was forcefully suppressed in his body. Gu Zheng knew that this was the effect of the Heaven Yuan Plant.
Otherwise, if he released the aura of the Jin Xian Stage, those who were hoping for a fluke would not dare to come over. Now, it had added a lot of trouble to Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng was already prepared for this. Previously, Yuan Li had already told him some things to pay attention to.
He could not accurately locate them one by one. He could only look for the stronger humans first and reduce the losses as much as possible.
He did not want to go on a killing spree for no reason. He could only try his best to persuade them.
As for those who did not listen to him, Gu Zheng could only feel helpless. If they stepped into the formation, he would not be able to save them in time. It would depend on their luck.
And this was only the first day. Yuan Li said that it would take at least three days to finish.
These low-level immortals would not cause him much trouble. He only hoped that before Yuan Li finished refining, there would not be too many high-level immortals.
