There were many words on the stone tablet, but almost all of them were written at once. Gu Zheng's reading speed was also very fast. He could read ten lines at a glance. In a few breaths of time, he had already memorized the words on the stone tablet.
The entire stone house's light quickly dimmed. After an entire hour, all of the words around Gu Zheng disappeared into darkness, including the light from the stone books on the surrounding walls. Everything disappeared without a trace.
Only the faint light at the door and the huge stone tablet in the middle were emitting light.
Gu Zheng took a deep breath again and slowly walked over. The words on the stone tablet were easy to distinguish.
"I am a peak Zenith Heaven Realm human cultivator, Nangong Yingmu. I was seriously injured and unfortunately fell into this place. I have no chance to escape. I set up this stone tablet to help the future generations. I hope that someone can …"
'So the stone tablets at the back all copied me,' Gu Zheng thought thoughtfully.
Then, as he continued reading, Gu Zheng's mind was completely focused on it. Every word on it was like a scroll, narrating everything about him. Gu Zheng seemed to have become himself. From the time he was seriously injured and fell to the ground, he encountered some demonic beasts, and then he met the natives here. Bit by bit, he followed him to explore this world.
What Gu Zheng did not know was that when his mind was immersed in it, the entire dark environment lit up again bit by bit. It started from the outermost ten times, and when his body was completely exposed, the stone tablet was shattered.
A green light rose from it and entered Gu Zheng's mind. It quickly replenished Gu Zheng's mental power that he had consumed. One by one, the stone tablets lit up ten times brighter, and one by one, they shattered again.
Like dominoes, they all dissipated with the passage of time, leaving no trace behind.
In just a short hour, Gu Zheng felt like he had experienced hundreds of years. When he finished reading, his mind shook and he woke up from his stupor.
It recorded that the peak Zenith Heaven Realm had been here for 500 years. In the past, the human population was not as large as it was now. All the villages had a conversion device that he had designed. Other than the first 100 years when he wanted to escape, he had studied everything here for 300 years.
Although he still did not understand it, at least the humans here had room to resist, an indestructible village, and a smile that could not be seen all day long.
Because he had first come to this village, they were still living underground. Therefore, the ten times he had left behind was here. Every period, there would be people dedicated to maintaining this place.
After reading it, Gu Zheng could not help but admire this senior. He was really a genius. If he had not come here by accident, he would have become a Sage-to-be. It was a pity that he was a star of the Human Race.
At the end of the stone tablet was the method to control the green fog outside. Although he still needed to control it from his body, he completely bypassed the flaw of ordinary people who didn't have any spirit energy. With the help of the Green Fog Grass, he perfectly solved this problem.
However, not everyone could do it. They had to carefully select a group of qualified people to use this shortcut.
..............................
When Gu Zheng came back to his senses, he was shocked to find that his surroundings were empty. He saw the old man who was still in a daze. All the stone tablets had disappeared. He did not know what had just happened.
He felt refreshed. He felt that looking at those scrolls did not consume any of his mental strength. Instead, it was as if he had been baptized.
Gu Zheng was about to take another look at the method recorded on the stone tablet so that he could remember it without any mistakes. However, he did not know that a layer of green light appeared in his eyes. The original arrangement of words began to rapidly emerge from the stone tablet and formed a different line of words in the void.
Gu Zheng was suddenly startled. He did not know what had happened. However, he still looked carefully. As he looked, the light in Gu Zheng's eyes became brighter, as if he had seen a treasure.
After he remembered the last word, the green light in his eyes flashed and disappeared again. Gu Zheng did not notice any of this.
However, Gu Zheng felt that the stone tablet in front of him was not as bright as before. It looked much dimmer.
Gu Zheng looked at the cute pet that was still in a daze. He quietly placed it on the stone platform at the side. Then, he took out the crystal that it had given him and prepared to condense the Power of Darkness here according to the method written on it.
The words that appeared at the end were completely different from the content written on it. This was because in the last hundred years of the Asura's life, he had finally unraveled a bit of the mystery of the Power of Darkness. He also knew how to condense the Power of Darkness here for his own use.
Unfortunately, he did not have any chance to realize it. His time was up. Before he died, he hid in the stone tablet, hoping that someone would see this scene.
This wait lasted all the way until Gu Zheng arrived.
He realized that the Power of Darkness was too domineering. Even if he condensed the Power of Darkness, it could easily make people lose control of their minds. Moreover, it could also erode the body, turning the originally condensed Celestial Body into a mortal again.
This also explained why everyone would become a mortal after a hundred years and finally die after two hundred years. Even he, who was at the peak of the Zenith Heaven Realm, only lasted for two hundred years.
It repeatedly said that if someone really saw the information hidden in the stone tablet here, they must be cautious in condensing it. Once too much was found, even if they managed to break out of here, their minds would be destroyed. What was the point of that?
However, Gu Zheng was confident that the Power of Darkness would not affect him. Not only did he feel a familiar aura from it, but there was also the existence of the green crystal that could disperse the Power of Darkness in his body immediately.
Moreover, he only needed to condense a little bit of the Power of Darkness to protect himself. However, he still could not open his casual space because these were two completely different and familiar spiritual energies.
Moreover, the other party also gave a method that had not been tested, which was to convert the ordinary spiritual energy of heaven and earth into the Power of Darkness. Of course, this green crystal was also needed because it was a buffer between the two. It could filter out a part of the negative energy of the Power of Darkness. The price was the consumption of the green crystal.
Gu Zheng followed the method recorded in the book. He gathered his spirit and condensed his Qi, then began to press a special technique on the crystal. As Gu Zheng sped up his movements, a unique low-frequency sound rang out in the air.
"Rustle, rustle."
A layer of faint light floated on the crystal, covering Gu Zheng's body with a green glow. A layer of fine energy began to appear on the crystal and entered his body bit by bit along Gu Zheng's fingers.
Gu Zheng was delighted. He knew that he had successfully guided it out on the first try. If it were not for the fact that he could not continue condensing the Power of Darkness if he chose the green fog, Gu Zheng even wanted to keep this energy.
This was only the first step because the Power of Darkness seed was the most difficult step, but also the first step.
It said that as long as he could condense the seed, he could continue to absorb the Power of Darkness from heaven and earth. Moreover, some monsters would spontaneously condense this kind of thing in their bodies. This was also the reason why they knew simple magic. However, they also lost the price of opening their spiritual wisdom. No matter how strong they were, they were just monsters.
Gu Zheng hurriedly controlled the trace of energy in his body with difficulty and began to slowly walk a different path in his body. However, he still could not stop the movements of his hands.
After circulating one cycle in his body, Gu Zheng could clearly feel an extremely pure energy in the air. Moreover, this energy was extremely strong.
It seemed to be ready to move closer to him.
Gu Zheng was overjoyed. He hurriedly continued to circulate the green energy in his body. As he became more skilled in controlling it, he became more proficient in circulating it. However, the aura in the air was still the same, and the crystal in his hand was slowly shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye.
No matter how anxious Gu Zheng was, it was still the same. No wonder it said that he had spent nearly ten years to condense the seed. He should not be too anxious. There should be more crystals under the stone platform. Perhaps he should go and 'borrow' some.
Therefore, Gu Zheng was not annoyed. He was just experimenting. If it did not work, he could store some green gas at the end. Just as Gu Zheng was about to give up, suddenly, countless green lights emerged from his body. In an instant, a green light flashed in front of Gu Zheng's eyes. The whole world was like this.
Gu Zheng hurriedly closed his eyes and checked the problem with his body. He unconsciously threw the crystal in his hand to the ground, but it was still a vast expanse of green. He could not see anything clearly.
In the surrounding books, dots of green light appeared again. They divided into two. One rushed toward Gu Zheng, and the other shot toward the wall.
The wall was hit by the green light. Unexpectedly, little words appeared on the wall. They were the words that had disappeared into the book. The other green light rushed toward Gu Zheng's body and disappeared. It seemed to have no effect.
However, Gu Zheng's five senses suddenly doubled. While Gu Zheng was busy checking his body, layers of black fog appeared outside and slowly merged with him.
A violent aura emerged from Gu Zheng's body. However, it seemed that Gu Zheng did not have any reaction. It was as if he was not aware of the situation in his body.
However, the green light began to dim. Their mission was completed. It was time for the final curtain to fall.
They believed in Gu Zheng and were willing to use the last of their strength to help him condense quickly. However, they were unable to eliminate the aura of the dark force.
No one cared about the violent aura that was rampaging in Gu Zheng's body. It did not care whether the other party could withstand it or not. Everywhere it went, everything was dyed black. If the whole body became like this, even Gu Zheng would not be able to suppress it.
However, when the dark force rushed to the chest and was about to move toward the heart, a low sound came from Gu Zheng's body. It was ancient and ancient. It flashed from head to toe like a bolt of lightning.
The dark energy that entered his body suddenly stopped. It was like an obedient baby, becoming incomparably pure, without any extra impurities. It turned into pure energy and began to flow towards the demonic grass. No matter how unruly the dark energy that entered his body was, it was like an obedient girl.
When Gu Zheng came back to his senses, he found the abnormality in his body and was instantly stunned.
Currently, his body was still absorbing the dark force continuously. However, after entering the body, it was obviously converted into the existence of the evil force. The so-called negative effects did not exist at all.
Until now, if one had to talk about the total amount, it was only the storage of the strength of the first level. However, it was about the same as the total amount that he had left behind in the beginning. It would not do to have too much of it as he could not control it at all.
Gu Zheng was still a little worried. After all, the dark force in his body was only a support. Gu Zheng weighed in his heart and decided to double the storage. This way, it would be completely under his control.
Perhaps after he had advanced into the Grand Heavenly Realm, the evil force would be completely integrated into his body and be indistinguishable from him.
At this moment, the cute pet finally woke up from its dizzy state. It shook its head and slowly flew in front of Gu Zheng again. It did not know what had happened at all. When it saw the crystal that Gu Zheng had dropped, it picked it up from the ground. However, it was a little puzzled. Why was there such a large amount of crystal missing?
At this moment, Gu Zheng finally woke up from his inner vision. He looked at the cute pet holding the crystal in its hand and the green words around it. All the records were empty except for the stone tablet in front of him.
Gu Zheng stood where he was and bowed towards the other three directions as he spoke.
"Thank you. I will definitely fulfill your wishes one by one."
Finally, he also bowed deeply to the three stone tablets in front of him. It was the highest respect for this great human cultivator. After doing all this, Gu Zheng walked toward the door.
The cute pet was left dumbfounded. It still maintained the same posture, but its body turned around unconsciously. It looked at Gu Zheng with countless doubts in its heart.
When he reached the door, Gu Zheng hesitated for a moment. However, he still waved his hand. The three magic treasures that looked gray instantly flashed with light and appeared in front of Gu Zheng.
Their original owners had already approved of Gu Zheng, so for Gu Zheng, these magic treasures naturally wouldn't resist his summons. Instead, they were eager to give it a try, looking forward to being able to use it.
Gu Zheng waved his hand and kept them all in his arms. They had been shelved for too long. If he did not properly recuperate before using them, it was very likely that they would suffer irreversible injuries. In serious cases, they might even be destroyed.
"Squeak!"
Just as Gu Zheng left, a crisp bird call came from behind him. The cute pet rushed over anxiously again and handed over the severely shrunken crystal in its hand.
"Well, perhaps you brought me luck. If you have any problems, if possible, I will definitely help you." Gu Zheng patted the other party's head and took the crystal. He smiled at the cute pet and said, "Don't worry about it.
"Squeak!"
The cute pet seemed to understand Gu Zheng's meaning. The anxious expression on its face faded, and it revealed a human-like smile. It circled around Gu Zheng and then landed on Gu Zheng's shoulder again. However, this time, it did not firmly hold onto him again for fear that Gu Zheng would run away.
Only the old man from before was left in the room. He looked at his empty hand and put down his other hand. Looking at the empty surroundings, he muttered to himself.
"Well, it's finally quiet like this."
After saying that, the old man slowly left here. The door behind him was closed by him, and he walked back to his room.
When Gu Zheng came out, the whole village was quiet. At this time, it was time for everyone to rest, except for a few night patrols.
Gu Zheng did not waste any time and slowly walked back to his room. Now that he had solved some problems, he was almost certain that he would be able to get out.
When the time came, he would break through the Bottomless Cave and return to the Wilderness from here.
Just as he reached the door, Gu Zheng heard a man's voice coming from inside the room.
"Think about it. What I said just now was my heartfelt words. As long as Miss Shuang 'er is willing to hand herself over to me, not only will I not have to worry about food and clothing in the future, I also won't have to do any laborious work. Moreover, I am officially single now, and I don't think I am a fickle person.
As soon as he heard this voice, Gu Zheng knew that the man inside was Chang Xi. He did not expect that the other party would chase him all the way here. Gu Zheng thought that he would have to wait a few more days, but he did not expect him to act so quickly.
"I'm sorry, Young Master Chang. I'm an Immortal. Before I have enough cultivation, I won't get married. I didn't hear what Young Master said just now. I hope you can respect yourself and don't disturb me." Shuang 'er said tactfully. Even her rejection was very graceful, but anyone could hear the determination in her voice.
Chang Xi, don't disturb me. It is impossible between us. However, with Shuang 'er's personality, she could not directly reject the other party.
"Miss Shuang 'er, I said so much to you just now. Do you still not understand the situation here? Do you still think this is your Wilderness? " Chang Xi said disdainfully. "Here, your high and mighty Immortal status is useless. You are still a little stronger than ordinary people, but in a hundred years, it will be completely the same."
At this point, Chang Xi's tone became a little louder, as if he felt that what he said was very reasonable.
"In this place, what use do you have? Do you really think that you can live peacefully by relying on your brother? Don't look at how your brother is a big shot outside. His skills are not bad, but in this village, he can still fight against me. I have internal strength, not something a brute like him can compare to. If I want to kill him, who do you think will blame me? Who would dare to blame a monster?"
Chang Xi laughed sinisterly. His last sentence was a blatant threat.
"You dare to threaten me? Let me tell you, you can't beat my brother." Shuang 'er was so angry that her whole body trembled.
"Is that so? Then where is he now? Wait a moment and see if I don't break his retreat. Haha! "Chang Xi said arrogantly.
"What do you want to do?"
