In a dilapidated village, near the edge, dozens of blue light pillars were still shooting up into the sky. However, the light and size had shrunk significantly. If no one cared about it, it was likely that after a few months, the blood energy would be completely exhausted and would completely dissipate.
A figure flew into the air and quickly circled around the light pillar, and all the signs in the sky disappeared.
"Young Master Gu, don't be angry. Although it took a lot of effort, we didn't exclude this place." Xing Cai shouted at Gu Zheng in the sky.
Just now, they had stayed in there for a while, and after a little search, they found that this was a place for seclusion. Coincidentally, Zi Yi had also been here before.
However, Xing Cai also understood the depression in Gu Zheng's heart. Who asked this seclusion place to be so tightly guarded? At first, she thought that the place they were looking for was also here.
"I know. Let's go back and look for other directions!" Gu Zheng cheered up and eliminated the small emotions in his heart.
It hadn't even been a day, and they didn't waste much time.
The two of them quickly returned to the hall from before. Since the middle was eliminated, there were only two passageways left, one on the left and the other on the right.
"You choose where we go this time. I think your luck is pretty good." Gu Zheng looked back and forth between the four passages, but he still couldn't tell which one was the right one.
"Me? Okay then, I'll choose this one! " Xing Cai pointed at herself in surprise. Seeing Gu Zheng's serious look, she pointed to her right and said.
"Let's go!" Gu Zheng didn't hesitate and directly walked in that direction. Anyway, he didn't believe that he couldn't find it after walking through all four passages.
Gu Zheng suddenly said as they walked through the long and narrow passageway.
"I want to know why you chose this side? Intuition? "
"No, because it's easier for me to remember where I went." Xing Cai looked at Gu Zheng and felt that it was better to tell the truth.
The first passage on the right was indeed not easy to forget.
Gu Zheng's figure paused, and then he continued to walk quickly as if nothing had happened. Anyway, he wasn't sure which one it was, and it didn't matter. He just didn't think that it would be this reason.
This passage wasn't as long as the previous one, but it still took them a lot of time.
When they reached the end, they saw a huge hall in front of them, but it was empty. The height of the hall was abnormally high, and they didn't know what this place was for. There was no door here, so the two of them returned.
"See? Actually, my luck isn't as good as yours," Xing Cai muttered softly on the way.
"It's fine. You decide who's next!" Gu Zheng didn't care. Now, there were only three left.
"Then let's go with the second one on the right. That way, the right side will be completely explored," Xing Cai said.
After the two of them came out, they went straight up to the second passage, but just as they went a little deeper, their figures suddenly stopped.
On the wall to the side, some dark and dried blood stains appeared in front of them. Even though so much time had passed, Gu Zheng could still smell the stench of blood assaulting his nostrils.
"Looks like there have been many battles here!"
The two of them moved forward again, but their speed was much slower. As they moved forward, the solid wall beside them also showed signs of potholes, and blood was everywhere. Xing Cai said with some apprehension.
Such a miserable scene could clearly feel the tragic battle at that time.
One must know that the strength of this place was very high. Just now, she tested it. Even if she used all her strength to make a dent on the wall, each of the walls was twice as strong as her. Some of them seemed to have been hit by sharp weapons, leaving deep holes on the wall.
"Be careful. Who knows what will be left here." Gu Zheng said with a serious face. It seemed that this time, they had found the place. It was very likely that Ren Xue was in the depths of this place.
The two of them slowly moved forward with a cautious attitude. It took them half a day to walk out of this passage. When they came out, both of them were shocked.
In the hall in front of them, they didn't know how many corpses were entangled here. There were even some ferocious strange beasts whose bodies were not destroyed. They maintained their posture when they were alive, as if they could move at any time.
However, what made the two of them slightly relieved was that these strange corpses were all dead. No matter how ferocious and terrifying they were now, they wouldn't attack again.
Opposite them, there was a half-closed door. The closer they got to the door, the more corpses there were on the road. There was simply no place to step.
And the corpses below were equally powerful as they got closer. Basically, the people and demons who died at the door were almost all peak existences in Jin Xian.
The two of them approached this place carefully. In the end, they had to clear a path. Xing Cai didn't want to step on their corpses.
Gu Zheng gestured to Xing Cai, asking her to stay behind a little while he went forward to press the door that was not opened.
There were still remnants of restrictions on it, but it was now destroyed. Gu Zheng's hand touched the cold door. With a slight force, the whole door slowly opened with a bang.
Bright light gradually leaked out as he pushed open the door.
When the heavy door was completely pushed open, the scene inside was revealed.
A relatively wide hall appeared before them. However, it was also very messy. They couldn't tell what it was originally like. They could only make a rough guess. Although there were fewer corpses here, they could tell that it was still a fierce battle.
However, what attracted them the most was the innermost stalk. The flower path reached the top of the stalk, but most of them had already withered. Only two withered flowers were left on the stalk. They were flower buds that had yet to bloom.
And at the bottom, there was a corpse that had lost most of its bones. It looked like it had been used as nutrients to maintain this state.
And this flower was the only living thing here that showed signs of life.
"Is this the Goblin that wanted to help you? It looks very evil, "Xing Cai said with a face of disgust. It was obviously stealing the lives of others to maintain itself.
Needless to say, the corpse below was definitely a Grand Heavenly of the human race. Only it could provide her with power.
"But no matter what, this is what she did. As long as we finish our business, we won't cross paths in the future," Gu Zheng said to Xing Cai.
Although he couldn't stand such behavior, it wasn't important at the moment.
She had already sworn a soul contract that she wouldn't do anything to them. Otherwise, they wouldn't have to do anything. She would burn herself to death from the inside out.
"I know. I'll bear with it," Xing Cai nodded. Of course, she knew what was more important.
"But I have to think of a way to wake them up," Gu Zheng found the remnants of Ren Xue's body, but he couldn't contact her.
"Why don't you go closer and try? Maybe they'll sense it and wake up on their own, "Xing Cai looked at Gu Zheng's frowning face and said again.
"That's a good idea. I'll give it a try!" Gu Zheng's eyes lit up. He felt that Xing Cai was right, and he immediately went closer.
Just as he was halfway there, Gu Zheng noticed that the flower vine trembled as if it sensed something.
When Gu Zheng was a distance away from the flower vines, he suddenly felt a pain in his shoulder. Purple Clothes' body had flown out, and a strand of purple air floated over. This made Gu Zheng overjoyed; Purple Clothes had come out on their own.
The purple air floated in front of Gu Zheng, and a different shadow was hidden in it. Purple Clothes came out of Gu Zheng's body.
The purple air stayed in the air for a while, and it seemed to sense something. Suddenly, a shadow jumped out of it. It went into one of the flower buds.
The purple air was still in the air, and it seemed that Purple Clothes' body didn't have a consciousness.
Gu Zheng, who had already retreated outside, didn't know how to intervene. He just waited quietly.
Not long after, the flower bud started to bloom. Although it still looked sickly, and its body was drooping, he could feel that its life force was rising quickly.
The whole flower vine trembled violently, and the withered branches fell from its body. In the blink of an eye, less than one-tenth of it was left.
The small flower spurted out a large amount of pink air, and it surrounded the remaining body in the blink of an eye.
At this moment, Gu Zheng could only see the pink mist surging, and he didn't know what was happening inside.
After the time it took for an incense stick to burn, the pink mist that filled the sky disappeared and a familiar figure appeared in front of Gu Zheng.
Ren Xue!
But now, her face was pale, her footsteps were weak, and her aura was very weak. She wasn't as awe-inspiring as before.
But even so, her aura was around the early-stage Zenith Heaven Realm, which was stronger than Gu Zheng.
"So that's how it is. In the end, you perished together with the other party? But this time, you lost. Although you paid a high price, you're still completely dead. "Ren Xue stood in place, looked at the skeleton below, and whispered unconsciously.
"Ren Xue, you have enough time to vent, but I have fulfilled my promise. Next, I need you to help me cure her completely." Gu Zheng's face sank, and he directly called her name.
"Don't worry. Although I, Ren Xue, am not a good person, I have already made an oath. If you really resurrect me, I will naturally remember this kindness in my heart. So, for my own sake, I will definitely help you." Ren Xue smiled, and a flower bud appeared in her hand. It was very similar to the remaining one.
She threw the flower bud, and the flower flew towards Purple Clothes in the air. It bloomed in the air, and its body grew bigger and bigger. When it arrived in front of Purple Clothes, the huge flower heart opened and swallowed her.
Then, its body shrunk rapidly. But when it returned to the size of a head, it stopped shrinking, and quietly stayed in the air. Traces of purple gas came out from the cracks.
"Don't be anxious. This is to allow her to recover better. In this way, when she completely wakes up, she will completely stabilize in the Zenith Heaven Realm. Of course, if you want her to wake up immediately, it's not difficult. But she will completely stop at the peak of Jin Xian Realm." Ren Xue's body descended from the sky, and she smiled at Gu Zheng.
"If I want her to advance into the Zenith Heaven Realm, what do I need to do?!" Gu Zheng could obviously hear the hidden meaning in her words, and he immediately asked.
"Don't be angry, I'm not threatening you. Because you know my current situation. I can't do anything, otherwise, my body will completely collapse. If this lady in Purple Clothes wants to advance, she also needs a huge amount of spiritual energy. If I help her, she will succeed." Ren Xue walked down without any warning.
She wasn't lying. In her current state, if she forcefully made a move, her body would completely collapse. Not to mention Gu Zheng, even Xiao Ye would be able to beat her until she couldn't fight back.
"So?" Gu Zheng raised his eyebrows, thinking that she was going to ask him for some pills.
"I need you to go to the opposite side and break the Seven Spirits Array. There should be enough Spirit Qi stored there. As long as you place this seedling on top of it, I will naturally be able to absorb the Spirit Qi inside." Ren Xue handed over a very weak thing that looked like a weed and continued to speak.
"It's in the second passage opposite. You will naturally know where it is when you go in. The first passage has nothing, and the spiritual energy there is abundant. You can also rest there. Don't worry about it not being enough."
Gu Zheng looked at Ren Xue, then took the weed-like thing and said expressionlessly.
"Then I'll have to trouble you. Xing Cai, let's go."
Xing Cai followed behind Gu Zheng and left. From the beginning to the end, she didn't even look at Ren Xue.
"Young Master Gu, the other party is obviously using you to recover her strength. It's too obvious." On the way back, Xing Cai complained to Gu Zheng.
"I know, but I can't just watch Purple Clothes be trapped there. Besides, the stronger the other party is, the better it is for us. At least we don't have to worry about Uncle Gao outside." Gu Zheng replied.
This was also his idea. Overall, the advantages outweighed the disadvantages. As for the other party without his help, it would only take a long time. On the other hand, if he didn't help, his side would lose too much.
Soon, they arrived at the hall again. This time, they walked towards the second passage opposite.
In this passage, when they were halfway there, they still found some bloodstains. The two of them raised their vigilance. No one knew if there were any enemies left here.
After passing through this passage, there were a few scattered corpses on the ground. Compared to the other side, there were very few corpses. At the end of the right side, there was a whirlpool barrier emitting white light. The blood on the ground also fled towards that direction. The corpses also fell in that direction, as if they were escaping from some kind of pursuit.
"I'll go in first, you follow me closely!"
Gu Zheng and Xing Cai were already prepared. They stood in front of the whirlpool, then Gu Zheng reached his hand into it. The next moment, he was sucked in, and Xing Cai was also sucked in.
"Could it be that this is a Blessed Paradise?" As soon as they entered, Xing Cai quickly looked around. There were no enemies around. Gu Zheng was the only one beside her.
However, the spiritual energy in the air was like a thick fog. It instantly made her feel as if she was soaking in spiritual liquid. Every pore on her body automatically opened, and pure spiritual energy madly rushed into her body. In just a moment, Xing Cai felt that all the fatigue and hidden injuries in her body were all removed. Her mental state was at its best.
This feeling made her lose herself in an instant. She even wanted to stay like this forever. If she cultivated here, it would be several times better than the outside world.
However, in the next moment, a shield appeared in front of her, completely blocking the spiritual energy from pouring in. Xing Cai, who was just about to enjoy herself, was slightly annoyed. She looked at Gu Zheng in confusion.
"Don't over-absorb it. Be careful not to overexert yourself." Gu Zheng looked at Xing Cai and explained, "Although this spiritual energy is good, it seems pure, but there is a very deep evil hidden underneath. If you absorb too much, it will easily trigger negative emotions in your heart."
Xing Cai was startled. She carefully observed the spiritual energy in the air. It was indeed as Gu Zheng said. She couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. She really hadn't noticed it just now.
She looked at Gu Zheng. His body was still the same as before. He hadn't absorbed a trace of spiritual energy at all.
"It doesn't matter if it's a little less. There are no enemies here. I don't think the other party has been lying in ambush here for thousands of years." Gu Zheng withdrew the shield on his body. Since there were no traps at the entrance, there was nothing to worry about.
This place was filled with spiritual energy that had turned into a thick fog. It was as if it was only accumulating and not releasing. Although they couldn't see too far, the two of them could feel that there was something in the distance that was emitting a strong aura. It was like a whirlpool that was absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy.
"Seven Spirits Array?"
The two of them walked for half a day. The white fog in front of them suddenly dispersed. A faint layer of colorful shield appeared behind them, blocking the invasion of the white fog. In the space of a thousand feet in front of them, a misty white light rose from the ground.
The ground was paved with layers of colorful jade. Above that, there were three layers of jade platform made of high-grade spiritual jade. Even the smallest layer at the top was the size of a house.
Countless wisps of white mist turned into a thick tornado in the sky, drilling down from the center.
Gu Zheng stood at the periphery and sensed a little. His face was filled with shock. The moment the spiritual energy entered this area, it was converted into pure spiritual energy without any impurities.
And this seemingly simple spirit stone in front of him had completely transformed the spiritual energy to other places. If he wasn't wrong, this spiritual energy was the cornerstone used to stabilize the space. If this place was destroyed, the entire Black Dragon Immortal Mansion would collapse.
However, looking at the array engraved on it, Gu Zheng smiled bitterly. There was no need to look. This was built by Black Dragon himself. Without the strength, it was better not to think about it. Even if there was a peak Grand Heavenly Immortal, there was at least a glimmer of hope.
"I don't think there's any other place that fits the criteria. No wonder she said there's enough Spirit Qi. Come, let's go up." Gu Zheng scanned the surroundings and found no danger before saying.
As for the hidden enemies that Ren Xue mentioned, they were probably long gone or dead. This path was convenient for them.
Gu Zheng took out the wild grass and was about to step forward when a voice suddenly rang out.
Suddenly, all the spiritual jades in front of them shone brightly. Beams of light gathered in the air. The leading white light was the first to disperse, revealing a white longsword.
"How dare you Goblin barge into the Seven Spirits Array!" The longsword shone and a loud voice resounded in the air.
