As for Gu Zheng's combat strength, Meng Zhen felt that he was invincible among those of the same level. He could even kill those of a higher level. After all, the combat strength that he had displayed was there.
Meng Zhen followed carefully, but she did not know that she was only in the early stage of the Grand Heavenly Realm. Even if her means were strange, it was still very difficult to kill a late stage Grand Heavenly Realm head-on. However, it was not easy for the other party to kill her.
"If that's the case on the surface, then everything is simple."
"The other party only borrowed the body of an ancient tree demon. After killing it, he occupied it. That's the cultivation of the ancient tree itself. As for his cultivation, I don't know. The only thing I know is that he killed an enemy in the peak stage of the Grand Heavenly Realm."
"Then do you know his identity?" Gu Zheng looked at Ren Xue and asked tentatively.
"A trace of the Chaotic Body escaped from the Demon God."
"It's actually a Demon God?"
Gu Zheng could not help but frown when he heard Ren Xue's words.
Of course, it can't be his main body. If that's the case, why is he hiding here? The other party only had a trace of his remnant body that escaped. I don't know how long he had been in a deep slumber. He was lucky enough to come out of his slumber and snatch the body of the ancient tree. Just that alone is enough to make people helpless. Even if I feel that the other party is not strong and is seriously injured, there is nothing I can do. I can only suffer under his body and wait for an opportunity. "
The worry on Ren Xue's face deepened. It was obvious that she really did not have a good idea.
"I remember that the remaining Demon Gods have escaped to the Blood Sea and were all taken in by the Nether River Patriarch. It's impossible for them to be released for no reason. How could there still be a fish in the net?"
Gu Zheng recalled that the crazy person he met in the Feng Clan's secret realm was backed by a Demon God. The funny thing was that he thought that someone was using the name of a Demon God to act. He did not expect that there was really a Demon God alone.
"I'm not sure about that. I only found two useful information these days."
"The first is that he is not the only Demon God that escaped. I don't know how many there are, but he should be the weakest one."
"The second is that the other party seems to be very dependent on the host body. I'm afraid that there is some parasitic relationship between the two. However, I'm afraid that the other party will be able to get rid of this weakness in a few days."
Ren Xue seemed to have thought of something, and her expression became cautious.
"Could it be related to what happened in the past few days? I can sense that a magic array has been set up over there. They are preparing to hold some sort of ceremony," Meng Zhen interjected.
"That's right. It's because her master has always been treated as a tonic by the other party, carefully extracting the essence from her body. Most importantly, the Flower Heart in her body has been successfully activated by the other party. That's the essence of her life. As long as the other party goes through a few procedures and refines it, he will be able to swallow it and completely break free from the shackles of the ancient tree. I'm afraid his strength will soar. Based on the information revealed by his words, if that's really the case, he will be the first Demon God to enter the Sage-to-be after cultivating for a while."
"At that time, they will be able to take revenge on the entire Untainted Land. They will vent all the sufferings they have suffered. This is what I heard him talking to himself by chance. Honestly, I'm not interested in what he wants to do. I don't care if the entire world is destroyed. Naturally, there will be someone stronger to take care of it. However, the lives of my master and grandmaster are the most important to me. I want to beg you to help me, to help me save my master."
"I can see that your friend has a particularly hidden evil aura. No matter whether it succeeds or not, I can help her slow down the invasion of the other party's body and suppress it. At least she won't be disturbed for a long time."
Ren Xue's breathing became rapid. She looked at Gu Zheng. Since she saw Meng Zhen, she had discovered the hidden danger in her body. In addition, she had followed her here. Obviously, she had something to ask of her.
"Deal. I can help you kill that Demon God. However, you have to tell me about your master and Li Le's situation. Also, you have to tell me everything you know." After Gu Zheng heard this, he immediately agreed. He didn't just say that Ren Xue was his "friend".
If it was in the past, he wouldn't have been so confident. However, to deal with a Demon God who could only live in another's body, it was obvious that the other party wasn't very strong. More importantly, he already had experience working with a more complete Demon God in the lower world.
Was a Demon God scary? Of course it was. An ancient creature that existed before the creation of the world was even older than his master. In particular, it had the Chaotic Body. It could be said that it could do whatever it wanted at that time. However, it recklessly provoked someone it shouldn't have provoked, and in the end, it almost led to a total annihilation.
Some Demon Gods who were lucky enough to survive escaped in the end. However, most of them were scattered and couldn't cause any trouble at all. Therefore, the Ancestor ordered his subordinates to discipline them again. Otherwise, the people in Untainted Land wouldn't turn a blind eye and pretend that they didn't see these things.
Overall, it was a good thing that was beneficial to everyone. After all, even if the Demon God was only an incomplete part, no one would want to be contaminated by the Chaotic Body, regardless of whether it had cultivated its consciousness or was in a hazy state. Once it was contaminated, it would directly contaminate one's mind and it would be very difficult to get rid of it.
However, for Gu Zheng, he wasn't afraid of the other party's Chaotic Body at all. In the previous cooperation, the Demon God sent by the Ancestor had already told him some simple things so that the two of them could cooperate more perfectly.
Of course, the strength of the Chaotic Body wasn't very strong, but its intelligence was quite high. Even Gu Zheng didn't expect that it could come and go like this. Even if it had fallen to the point where anyone could bully it, it was no wonder that no one dared to provoke it. It was really worthy of being the guy who dared to fight with the Great God Pangu.
Therefore, when Gu Zheng heard about the other party, he was so confident. Of course, the improvement of his strength made him not afraid of it.
"Great, but it's not wise to fight with the other party directly now. Moreover, it's easy to implicate my master and the others in the backyard. After two days, I'll find a way to let you sneak in carefully. When the other party comes out to prepare for the ceremony, that's when he's most vulnerable. It's completely possible to launch a surprise attack on him. I'll help you to intercept his subordinates."
Ren Xue was overjoyed, but she still knew that this was not a good time, so she quickly said.
"Okay, as for the treatment of her first, you can take a good look at her after this matter is over. There's no hurry now." Gu Zheng nodded his head in agreement. Since the other party knew more than him, he would follow the other party's method.
"Thank you, Young Master Gu. I'll never forget your kindness. You can rest here for now. As long as you don't go out, it's absolutely safe here. I still have some things to do, so I won't accompany you for now."
Ren Xue recalled the time when she first met Gu Zheng. She was also saved by him, but at that time, she obviously didn't think highly of him. However, after not seeing him for a few years, his strength was actually stronger than hers. His speed was simply beyond her imagination. Fortunately, she didn't make any irreparable mistakes at that time.
After saying that, Ren Xue left the room, leaving only Meng Zhen and Gu Zheng, as well as the calligraphy brush that had been on the table as decoration.
"Why didn't you let the other party suppress the aura in my body first? This way, I can help you during the battle." After waiting for Ren Xue to leave, Meng Zhen stood up and walked around to make sure that no one was eavesdropping. Only then did she carelessly mention Gu Zheng.
"That's right. Although I can see that the other party has a murderous aura, he has already turned over a new leaf. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been treated so carefully by him." The calligraphy brush flew up from its body and forcefully explained its previous behavior.
Gu Zheng didn't expose the calligraphy brush's words. He just smiled and said.
"The other party has to prepare for something in two days. With his identity, he must have a lot of things to do. How much can he suppress for you? It's better to wait until the end and let him do his best to prepare for you. Only then can he suppress the situation in your body as much as possible. This way, at least you won't have to worry for a long time. We will have more time to completely heal your body."
"I see. I haven't thought that far. I can use these two days to adjust myself." Meng Zhen felt that it made sense. She immediately sat down and closed her eyes.
"What do you want? Hurry up and say it. I haven't caused any trouble for you yet. Didn't you say that it was foolproof? In the end, the other party noticed us as soon as we came in. " Gu Zheng looked at the calligraphy brush in front of him. He could tell what the other party was thinking with a single glance.
If they hadn't met Ren Xue at that time, they would have been exposed. To think that he had been so confident before, acting as if he was very powerful.
"That was just an accident. Who would have thought that there would be people behind us? Ren Xue noticed the passage that we came in. You guys hadn't even come in yet. In the end, the other party was startled and attracted those people. Otherwise, how could they have discovered us?" The calligraphy brush immediately put down its question and said seriously.
"Alright, I believe you. Didn't you say that you have a problem? Hurry up and say it." Gu Zheng looked at the other party. Although it was just a brush, he still felt that the other party wasn't lying. He immediately skipped this topic.
"It's like this. I just have some doubts in my heart. It's also a question that has always been in my heart. I realized that you and my master have a very similar personality. If I say it, please don't punish me." The calligraphy brush carefully floated in front of Gu Zheng and said.
"Say it. Do I look like that kind of person?"
"Hehe, why don't you go to the Untainted Wilderness to fight for something when you're so powerful? You should know that there are countless treasures in there. Even my master is very envious. But like you, he chose not to get involved, even if it would bring him better things." The calligraphy brush only opened its mouth after hearing Gu Zheng's words.
"The greater the opportunity, the greater the risk. When you walk on that path, you have to give up some things. I'm different from others, but I also have a firm goal. It's not easy for you to understand this. At least, you have to wait until you become a Sage-to-be to understand. There are some things that are hidden in the unseen world. At that time, you will naturally know."
"More importantly, this is the best era. If you don't grasp it, it will be more and more difficult in the future."
Gu Zheng glanced at the calligraphy brush in front of him and said slowly.
"Sage-to-be? Alright, I'm afraid I won't be able to reach that level even if my eyebrows go bald. I'd better follow my master obediently. This time, I'll fight. Put me into the Space of the Jade Dragon King. I'll go and chat with Goddess Yu Fei. " The calligraphy brush didn't understand Gu Zheng's words at all, but it knew that if a great battle broke out, it wouldn't be of much use. Therefore, it shook its head and said.
"Alright, Goddess Yu Fei has almost recovered. When this is over, it's time to let her out." Gu Zheng didn't say anything else and put the calligraphy brush into the Space of the Jade Dragon King.
Gu Zheng glanced at Meng Zhen, who was resting at the side. He stood at the side and looked at the vase not far away. The thoughts in his mind began to spread out again.
The establishment of the Six Paths of Reincarnation and the Asura Race's seclusion made him realize that the whole world would soon enter a new era.
The end of the Age of Liches and Demons represented the beginning of the era of the Human Race.
The Goblin Race had also retired, and the Human Race had begun to prosper. It was the beginning of a new era.
However, from then on, the spiritual energy in the Untainted Land would plummet along with the destruction of the heavens. Even Goddess Nuwa couldn't restore it.
In the Untainted Land, Daluo Realm was like a dog. Jin Xian was everywhere, and it was impossible for it to recover. Everyone's cultivation speed would be greatly reduced. It wasn't just the Human Race who couldn't show it in the beginning. Later on, everyone would have to work hard for cultivation resources.
He also had to work hard to become a Sage-to-be before then. Otherwise, it would be even more difficult.
However, one wouldn't be able to reach a thousand miles without accumulating small steps. Without accumulating small streams, one wouldn't be able to form a river or an ocean. Without accumulating dust, one wouldn't be able to form a mountain. Only by accumulating little by little could one build the strongest foundation and climb to the highest peak. Although some Xiantian Realm experts had a high starting point, without accumulating, they would be at the bottom even if they became a Saint.
He was very clear about this. For example, Goddess Nuwa's combat strength was very low. Of course, no matter how low it was, it wasn't comparable to a Sage-to-be.
With the beginning of the era of the Human Race, there were still a few people who could become Sage-to-be. There weren't even many Daluo Realm experts. The decline of the spiritual energy in the world naturally made it more difficult to break through.
At this moment, he vaguely understood what his Master meant. Although in the Untainted Land, if he made use of his advantages, it would bring him great benefits. However, it was useless for him. Before he reached a certain level of cultivation, he didn't need those to accelerate his development. Accumulating little by little was the path he should take.
In the early stage, he needed to be well-prepared and be as careful as possible. Later on, as long as he reached a certain level of cultivation, along with the changes in the world, those countless powerful figures would gradually hide behind the scenes. Naturally, he wouldn't have to worry so much about his safety.
Otherwise, even at this moment, those powerful figures with all kinds of Innate Spiritual Treasures weren't people he could deal with. Even if he revealed his true form, he still wouldn't be able to. He knew how powerful Innate Spiritual Treasures were. In the hands of the right person, they could be invincible. If he didn't have a treasure of the same level, he definitely wouldn't be a match for the other party.
As for snatching the other party's opportunity, he was even more self-aware. Even his true form was his Master. If he really dared to make a move, he would probably die without knowing why. Which of those Innate Spiritual Treasures really belonged to him? Perhaps he would consider making a move when he had enough strength.
Although his cultivation was a little low now, if he hadn't helped Asura, he would have been worried. However, after Young Master Feng helped him refine the Fifth Ring to the limit, this was no longer a problem.
As long as he could enter that small chiliocosm, he would have a huge amount of pure spiritual energy for him to absorb. Moreover, he didn't have to worry about any side effects.
Therefore, he had to go there no matter what, not just for the Black Tower. However, before that, he had to treat Meng Zhen's body.
This wasn't difficult. No one below could deal with that strange energy of Meng Zhen's, but there were many ways to deal with it. There were so many people in the wilderness. If he paid more attention, he would eventually be able to find it. Although Ren Xue could only suppress Meng Zhen, it was enough. After all, Meng Zhen wasn't good at healing.
Two days passed in the blink of an eye. It was early in the morning. Ren Xue took out some strange clothes and patted them on their bodies. She also took out a set of black robes for them to wear. By pulling the robes slightly lower, they could hide their appearance.
Then he followed Ren Xue out and took them to an unfamiliar place. There were at least fifty people dressed like them gathered in this place, waiting quietly. They came to the back and carefully went in, while Ren Xue also hurriedly left here.
Although he was standing there foolishly, Gu Zheng was also secretly looking around. From the outside, he couldn't tell whether these people were men or women. However, he could easily tell from their auras that these people were the ones who came in and out a few days ago. From the number of people around them, most of them were gathered here. Even the people who came to check on the situation a few days ago were also standing here.
In less than half a day, the sun was already at noon. The dazzling sunlight scattered over this place. Although a young man wearing a black robe hurriedly came here, his entire head was exposed. He didn't say anything after he came here. He just waved his hand and led them to another side.
Along the way, everyone was silent. After passing through several buildings, they came to a wide terrain. At a glance, they could see that in the middle, there was a black altar that was as tall as a person. It covered an area of a few feet. On top of it, there was a stone mill sized tree. It was about ten feet tall, but it was completely bare without any branches or leaves. It was like a tree trunk that grew under the altar.
Gu Zheng followed the crowd and scattered along the edge. Soon, he stood in a circle and looked at the center. The young man who led them had disappeared. Ren Xue's figure also didn't appear here. Their attention was on the altar. On the tree, there was a person tied up, one in front and one behind.
Gu Zheng recognized the person facing him. It was Li Le, and the other person should be her disciple, Ren Xue's master, Li Huarui. He could only see the other person's back.
At this time, the two people were already unconscious. Their heads were crooked and tied up by several vines. Their cultivation was completely sealed. They were like unarmed ordinary people.
However, he could see at a glance that Li Le's disciple was at the early stage of Grand Luo Realm. Her aura could break through at any time, but unfortunately, her body was very weak now. Except for the incomparably exuberant vitality in her body, it was estimated that it was Ren Xue's Hua Xin, which was transformed from the demon core in her body.
