Seeing the ball disappear in front of him in a flash, Gu Zheng let out a sigh of relief.
He already had a rough idea of where her hometown was, so it shouldn't be a problem for him to go there. Before he left, Xing Cai gave him this blue orb and told him to inform her if he was delayed. She said that she would wait for him, as long as he didn't take too long.
At that time, she believed that Gu Zheng would be able to escape, so she agreed to leave first. She also knew that it was useless for her to stay there, so she left first.
Looking at the respectful Ren Jie, Gu Zheng thought for a moment and asked.
"You said that many people want to leave here, so there is a way to get out normally?"
"Yes, Senior. There is a city in the middle of the continent, and there is a Transmission Formation that leads to the Great Wilderness World. It was personally set up by that Sage-to-be to send people out. However, it is very difficult to go out, and the conditions required are also a bit difficult. However, there is a quota every hundred years, and many people can go out from there. It is also the only proper way out." Ren Jie said directly. This was also something that everyone here knew, and they would know it if they casually asked.
"Normal way? Then there are other ways, is there also a way to get out? "Gu Zheng keenly discovered this problem from Ren Jie's words.
"Yes, although this place was established by the quasi-sage, it is still attached to the Great Wasteland World, and can be considered as a sub-world of the Great Wasteland World. If you have spatial magic treasures or tools, you can find some weak points in the space and force your way out. Moreover, the quasi-sage doesn't ask about these things, including the administrator here, and even the administrator here has such spatial tools."
Ren Jie glanced at Gu Zheng, and found that he was listening to the song with full concentration, and then continued.
"If you can take out something that interests him, he can give it to you directly and let you leave, but the transmission array is no exception. After all, although the quasi-sage doesn't ask about the things here, the rules can't be broken. His disciples certainly understand and dare not violate it. Of course, you can also force your way out, but so far, no one has succeeded, and many people have died from the backlash."
"It can't be that everyone has such a rare item. In that case, there should be a fixed number of people who enter this place?"
Gu Zheng suddenly interrupted from the side. He had a lot of good things in his hands, but he couldn't use them to exchange for this thing.
As for forcefully breaking through, he had given up on the idea at the very beginning.
Gu Zheng didn't think that this thing could be used here. Didn't that mean that if he still had a small ball, he might be able to get out? Unfortunately, he didn't have a single one now. He had wasted them all.
It seemed that if he didn't work hard to obtain it, he just didn't know how to cherish it.
For them, this is the best place for them to train before they truly leave this place. After all, as you can see, if we surrender, the other party won't dare to kill us at all. And we can only kill fewer people to vent our anger. This is also our right to win. If we lose, then we will all become slaves of others unless we are exchanged back. "
Ren Jie said after thinking for a while. Suddenly, he thought of something, then took out a thin booklet from his bosom and said to Gu Zheng.
"Senior, this booklet has the most basic information about this place. It's just that there are books that can be used in almost every place. I also learned this information from it. After you finish reading it, you will understand the meaning of this place."
Gu Zheng took it and flipped open the thin pages of the book. He began to read it carefully.
At first glance, Gu Zheng was a little surprised. His face began to tense up because the reason why the Sage-to-be had established this place was written on it.
As he flipped through the pages, Gu Zheng finally knew what this place was. The helplessness in his heart grew more and more.
At the beginning, it said that the Sage-to-be with the Dao of Metal was inspired by the establishment of the Chan Sect and the Jie Sect. Especially the shock brought to him by Nuwa becoming a Saint. In addition, he was at the top of the bottle now. It was even more difficult for him to go further. Therefore, he wanted to open another shortcut and tried to comprehend other methods.
Therefore, he made a reference and created this place a long time ago to prepare to implement his plan. Of course, he wasn't an evil person.
At that time, the main population here was the humans who were in dire straits. Of course, they were grateful for this. Although life here was different from the outside world, it was much better than before. This was also the foundation of this place. Even now, they still occupied it.
At that time, he imitated the Heavenly Court and set up an ancestor god position in each area. Then, he deliberately added a series of measures to collect the power of faith of these people. In fact, it was the power of incense. It was similar to the Earthly God's, but also different.
The people who were set up as ancestor gods grew stronger and stronger. From the beginning, they were weak and small. As time passed and the population multiplied, their cultivation even broke through to the Celestial Immortal Realm. This made him overjoyed.
More importantly, after breaking through to a certain level, their cultivation would only fall to the initial stage. They wouldn't fall back completely because of the lack of incense. This made him believe that this was a credible path.
Most of these people were ordinary people who didn't want to go out at all. Although it was a bit terrible here, they still had food to eat and clothes to wear. Only those who were talented in cultivation wanted to go out.
After all, even now, after the Sage-to-be's continuous adjustment, the highest cultivation could only reach the late stage of Jin Xian. After that, their cultivation wouldn't increase, which made him very distressed.
Gu Zheng didn't know who this person was. Perhaps he was a hidden expert. But so far, he was still experimenting. However, it seemed that many people had already moved to live on land. After all, the conditions there were much better than on the sea.
The only advantage overseas was that they would receive a fixed batch of supplies every year. Even so, very few humans came.
Now, overseas was basically the world of Goblin. There were very few human strongholds. Similarly, there were also very few Goblin strongholds on land.
This was what Ren Jie added on.
Gu Zheng didn't care too much about this. What he cared about was the so-called points.
Because as the number of people here increased and there were no natural enemies, many people's motivation decreased. After enjoying the peace, the Sage-to-be caught some Goblin and used a few precious immortal weapons to add the rules here. This made Gu Zheng very moved.
It wasn't that the Sage-to-be was cruel. It was needless to say that the Sage-to-be placed here was at least an Innate Spiritual Treasure. Thinking of this, Gu Zheng couldn't suppress his greed and wanted to find it and take it away.
No matter what, he forced himself to suppress it. On second thought, he decided to forget about it. For the sake of his life, he'd better forget about it.
The Sage-to-be had said it so openly. He really wasn't afraid of being robbed.
Then there were these Goblin. Of course, they were caught in the beginning. Now, some Goblin came in to train their disciples.
Goblin here couldn't transform. Moreover, any Goblin would force himself to reveal a trace of his original characteristics so that people could distinguish him. This completely prevented Goblin from mixing into the human race.
At this time, Gu Zheng had finished reading the brief introduction of the book. In fact, there was nothing much to say. He could only say that he was unlucky. Even so, Gu Zheng was willing.
At least he didn't have to drift in there.
Moreover, who knew when the Sage-to-be would pay attention to this place. It should be known that at that time, it would be a hundred years. The Sage-to-be would probably only blink an eye.
After such a long time, many things had changed a lot. However, the basic principles were still there. There weren't many changes.
At this time, Ren Jie had invited Gu Zheng to a small pavilion not far away to sit down.
Ren Jie continued to explain the basic situation here to Gu Zheng in detail. Gu Zheng remembered all these and thought about other problems in his heart.
After all, in his previous life, including the first half of his life, he didn't really experience the things in the human world. The things here seemed to be no less interesting than those famous events.
In particular, all kinds of strange things were unheard of by Gu Zheng. It also made Gu Zheng feel a little happy. Facing different challenges and different things, wasn't that the purpose of Gu Zheng's return this time?
"That's about it."
After half a day, Ren Jie finally told him everything he knew. Then he stopped talking.
Many people like Gu Zheng came here because of various accidents. After all, this world was very close to the Untainted Land. Moreover, this Sage-to-be didn't seem to want to protect it so tightly. He needed more people to come here. It was like setting up a defense at all.
However, it was easy to come in but difficult to come out, including those who came here for experience. If they didn't have enough points and merits, they could only let their sects pay a high price to get them. Even if all the materials here were supplied by them, they still had to do so.
In other words, there were only a few people in the Untainted Land who didn't give face to the Sage-to-be who had killed two corpses.
"By the way, Sage-to-be Gu, can I ask you for a favor?"
Ren Jie's voice interrupted Gu Zheng's thoughts. Looking at his sincere face, Gu Zheng seemed to understand what he meant.
"Say it!"
"Can you temporarily be the ancestor god of our tribe for a period of time? When we get the materials for next year, we will have accumulated enough things. Then we can directly apply to take refuge on the land for a period of time and wait for the new ancestor god to assign to us."
Ren Jie's eyes were full of hope. Because their ancestor god left here illegally, they couldn't apply for protection for a period of time at all. This was also the reason why the other party came to attack them in such a hurry.
Who wouldn't want to take away a piece of delicious food that no one cared for?
Who would have thought that Hei Meng would accidentally bring Gu Zheng over and provoke Gu Zheng, only to be killed instead. It was like trying to steal a chicken only to end up losing the rice used to lure it. It was like trying to steal a chicken only to end up losing the rice used to lure it. But next time, they might not be so lucky.
Gu Zheng understood what he meant. He just wanted him to play the role of the other party's ancestor god.
It should be known that ancestor god was not only a title, but also a position. It was a legal position issued by the management here. If he really became an ancestor god, there would be many benefits.
"No problem. If you don't mind, I can also be your real ancestor god. At least I can protect you for a period of time."
Gu Zheng chuckled and directly threw a bomb, instantly knocking Ren Jie out.
Gu Zheng also had his own considerations for doing so.
If he wanted to leave this place, his only hope so far was to take the proper route. Besides, it wasn't impossible to remove the Ancestor God's avatar. As long as he left this place, the laws attached to it would naturally be removed. Now, there were less than twenty years until the next centennial competition.
If he wanted to take the proper route, the ancestor god title was indispensable.
It was not a long time, but it was also not a long time. It would be over in the blink of an eye.
Anyway, Gu Zheng didn't have many clues at the moment. He could only wait until he understood more in the future. If there was a better way, he could make a choice at any time.
"Really?"
Ren Jie asked in disbelief. He just asked the other party to help him temporarily. He didn't expect the other party to agree to be their ancestor god.
It was like he only wanted a few steamed buns to satisfy his hunger, but the other party not only temporarily gave him the machine to make steamed buns, but also promised to hand it over to him.
"Of course, it can also be considered as a temporary shelter for me." Gu Zheng joked. In his current state, he didn't want to go out. Who knew what he would encounter outside?
As long as the tribe agreed, anyone could be the ancestor god here. Only you had the strength of Jin Xian and above.
However, it also showed that there were many powerful people with different strengths in this space. There were many people who had the title of ancestor god, whether it was the people here or those who came in from the outside.
This place wasn't as stable as what was written.
"Thank you, Lord Gu!"
With Gu Zheng in charge, Da Da could rest assured. At the very least, those Demon Clans who were eyeing them covetously would not dare to come up. Over at his side, at least for a long time, he would not have to live on tenterhooks.
"Shh-sha"
A sound of footsteps came from afar, causing the bamboo forest to tremble constantly. It was gradually approaching.
Through the gaps between the bamboo forest, Ren Jie saw that his granddaughter was staggering over here. There was a doting look in his eyes, but when her figure appeared, he asked with a straight face.
"Ren Ling, why are you running around? Why aren't you resting at this time? What are you doing here?"
Ren Ling curled her lips and held on to the bamboo beside her. She quickly gasped for a few breaths and said aggrievedly.
"Didn't you instruct that no one is allowed to come here? They have all packed up and are waiting for your next arrangement. "
How could Ren Jie not know what they were thinking? Just as he was about to say something, Gu Zheng's voice sounded in his ears.
"Since they have something to ask you, then arrange a quiet place for me first. I need to recuperate. If there is anything, you can come to me or I will go to you!"
"Okay, okay. There is a quiet place here where the ancestor god went into seclusion. No one will be able to disturb you. Ren Ling, go and inform your uncles. I will be there in a while." Ren Jie immediately stood up and said respectfully to Gu Zheng. Then, he turned his head and said to Ren Ling who was beside him.
"Got it. Why don't you let me rest? I am exhausted."
Ren Ling muttered a few words in dissatisfaction, but she still obediently prepared to leave.
But suddenly, a white light appeared in front of her, giving her a shock. She subconsciously stepped back and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, she didn't let go of the bamboo forest in her hand. Otherwise, she would have fallen.
She stabilized her body and looked at it carefully. It was a red string pendant. Below it was a very beautiful jade pendant. The pure white jade was carved with the posture of a phoenix spreading its wings. Especially the touch of green and red on it, it looked even more vivid. She couldn't help but grab it with her hand.
But when her hand reached out halfway, she controlled her desire. She looked up at her grandfather. Needless to say, it must be something of the ancestor god.
"Your granddaughter, right? She is a cute girl. That is a greeting gift for your granddaughter." Gu Zheng's eyes revealed a trace of approval. The little girl was really good. She knew how to restrain her behavior at such a young age. It seemed like she had good self-restraint.
"This is not appropriate. What does she do to deserve such a treasure?" The sharp-eyed Ren Jie knew at a glance that it was a valuable defensive treasure. In other words, this kind of thing was much more precious than a weapon here.
"Just treat it as encouragement for cheering me on." Gu Zheng didn't feel any heartache for such a thing. He still had a lot of such things in his hands. It was best to use them to win people's hearts.
"Hurry up and thank the ancestor god!" When Ren Jie saw Gu Zheng's expression, he knew that this thing really didn't care about him. But it was much better than the ancestor god who had ruled them for thousands of years. At least the ancestor god only knew how to take and didn't know how to give anything.
Just this point greatly increased his favorable impression of Gu Zheng in his eyes. He felt that this ancestor god who suddenly came here might bring them earth-shaking changes.
"Thank you, ancestor god." Ren Ling cheered sweetly. She stretched out her hand and grabbed the jade pendant. Then, she put it on her neck.
A trace of surprise appeared in her eyes. The jade pendant, which was originally slightly big, actually shrank by itself. Moreover, the jade pendant shrank, making it look more suitable for her.
A cool feeling came from the jade pendant, making the tired Ren Ling full of spirit and vitality again.
"Thank you, ancestor god. I will leave first!"
After Ren Ling thanked again, she happily skipped back. She didn't forget the task that her grandfather had arranged for her.
"Ancient ancestor god, this way please!" Ren Jie was very grateful, but he didn't show it. He just remembered it in his heart.
"Don't call me ancestor god in private. I am not used to it." Gu Zheng thought for a moment. "You should call me Senior Gu!"
"Okay, Senior Gu!"
After saying that, Ren Jie walked in front and led Gu Zheng out of the secluded bamboo forest. They continued to walk inside.
Along the path that only one person could pass through, the bluestone on the ground was covered by leaves. If Ren Jie didn't lead the way, Gu Zheng wouldn't have thought that the gap between the bamboo forest was actually a small path.
After roughly the time it took to brew a cup of tea, Ren Jie brought Gu Zheng through the bamboo forest and arrived at an open space.
A spacious house appeared in front of Gu Zheng. It was very much like an old-fashioned courtyard house. The whole courtyard was made of stones from the mountain peak. They were neatly cut into stone bricks, which looked very special.
Behind the courtyard was a mountain peak, which was not very high. It was also the highest mountain on the whole island. It was really a good place to cultivate.
"Senior Gu, you can rest assured that no one will disturb you in this courtyard unless you tell them to." Ren Jie said to Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng nodded and then walked into the courtyard alone. He looked around and found that it was not bad. Everything was available and all of them were new. Then, Gu Zheng waved his hand and the outside door closed with a bang. No one could see the scene inside.
