While the people outside were shocked, Gu Zheng didn't think much of it. After all, the inside of the Chaos Tower was different from the outside. The tremors and violent collisions that could be felt outside couldn't be felt in the Chaos Tower at all. Everything was still stable.
"Master, I'm here."
After the two towers merged, Jiao Jiao immediately entered Gu Zheng's mind.
"Jiao Jiao, how's it going?"
"Everything is going well. The broken parts of the tower have been put back together. The only thing left is the more troublesome repair. As for the evil weapon spirit, we've found it. Since I've merged the two towers together, Master and sister don't have to worry about not being able to communicate with the outside. I'll tell you where it's hiding when the time comes. " Jiao Jiao paused for a moment, then continued, "Master, after merging the towers together, I understand a lot more about the nine-storey blood tower than before. This also makes me understand that my previous guess was wrong!"
"What are you talking about?"
"The evil weapon spirit is growing so fast that the core restriction can no longer suppress it like before! In other words, even if it's in a state of deep sleep, it will wake up immediately if it senses danger approaching. "
Hearing Jiaojiao's words, Gu Zheng's brows furrowed. Things had indeed changed.
"Jiao Jiao, do you know how it's recovering?"
"It's recovering slower than I expected. This has to do with the fact that I've been working hard to merge the two towers together. Master, even though I've combined the two towers into one, this is only a 'combination' on the surface. If the evil spirit continues to exist, things will eventually become troublesome. So, you and Big Sister have to get rid of it as soon as possible. "
Gu Zheng thought for a moment, then asked, "Jiao Jiao, since you've merged the two towers together and the evil weapon spirit's recovery is slower than before, will our consciousness still be weakened when we enter the tower?"
"My Divine Sense will still be weakened, but it's not as strong as before."
"Is it too late to enter the tower tomorrow morning?"
"It's not too late. If the evil weapon spirit wants to recover, it'll have to go down tomorrow at the very least."
"Alright then. Since tomorrow morning isn't too late, we'll enter tomorrow morning!"
After making the decision, Gu Zheng chatted with Jiao Jiao for a while. When they had rested enough, he began to practice following his consciousness. Even though Jiaojiao had said that their consciousness would be weakened less after they entered the nine-floored blood tower, Gu Zheng's control of his consciousness wasn't as smooth as an artifact spirit's. He needed to become more proficient at it.
"Gu Zheng, are you very worried now?"
The weapon spirit's voice suddenly sounded in Gu Zheng's mind.
"What's there to be worried about?" Gu Zheng smiled..
The Artifact Spirit said gloomily, "I set the task of killing an evil Artifact Spirit as the task you took the initiative to accept, in addition to letting you familiarize yourself with your Divine Sense, I also feel that this task won't be too dangerous as long as you work hard. After all, the Evil Artifact Spirit was still in a deep slumber, and the only thing you had to face was the wind generated by its instinctive reaction. But now, the mission has been given to you and can no longer be changed. However, what you have to face is an evil spirit that will awaken once you approach it. "
. "" It's nothing! Didn't you warn me that it wouldn't be easy to complete when you gave me the mission? In fact, in your heart, when you said this sentence, you had already wrapped up the unknown variables in it. So, I'm not particularly surprised that such a variable has appeared. I'll just do my best to prepare. "Gu Zheng smiled.
"Even so, the fact that the evil artifact spirit would wake up after getting close to it is still too much of a variable. Therefore, I have an inexplicable feeling that there might be more variables in this matter, or even worse than this!" The weapon spirit paused for a moment before continuing, "It's a pity that we're entering the nine-storey blood tower with our condensed consciousness. Otherwise, I wouldn't have to worry so much."
Gu Zheng's and the weapon spirit's condensed consciousness was very powerful, but this kind of consciousness also had its drawbacks! Even if the consciousness of an immortal cultivator was completely annihilated, the main body would not die. At most, the main body would suffer extremely serious injuries. After all, it was impossible to separate out all of one's Spiritual Force. There was still a portion left in one's main body to look after. For example, after Gu Zheng broke down Nuo Nuo's Spiritual Force light spot, he immediately separated out another Spiritual Force light spot.
However, because the consciousness of Gu Zheng and the weapon spirit's condensed consciousness was special, it had a core that ordinary consciousness did not have. This was also the reason why the weapon spirit called their consciousness a "consciousness clone". Once the consciousness clone's core was destroyed, the main body would definitely die.
"Don't worry. At most, we'll fail the mission and leave the nine-storey blood tower. Before the two towers merged, you were able to break through the barrier and separate a strand of consciousness to communicate with Jiao Jiao. Now that the two towers have merged, it shouldn't be a problem for our consciousness to escape unscathed. "
In the face of Gu Zheng's comforting words, the weapon spirit did not say anything more. However, Gu Zheng understood that comforting words did not dispel its worries.
The next morning, Gu Zheng's consciousness merged with the weapon spirit's and entered the nine-storey blood tower.
Following Jiao Jiao's guidance, Gu Zheng came to the seventh floor of the nine-storey blood tower. Immediately, the tower shook slightly. Gu Zheng understood that the shaking was caused by Jiao Jiao's control of the chaos tower's core according to the agreement. The purpose was to reveal the evil weapon spirit that was originally hidden.
The shaking happened and subsided in an instant. In the originally empty corner, the red ball of light that represented the evil weapon spirit was immediately discovered by Gu Zheng.
The white light spot that represented Gu Zheng and the weapon spirit immediately flew towards the red ball of light. When it came close to a certain distance, a blood-red wind immediately appeared!
Astral winds had the power to disperse Divine Sense, but this wasn't something that could be done in an instant. If it could disperse the Divine Sense formed by the fusion of Gu Zheng's and the Artifact Spirit's Spiritual Force, then the evil Artifact Spirit wouldn't have been defeated in their first confrontation.
Jiao Jiao was afraid of the wind, but Gu Zheng was not. If the evil weapon spirit only relied on the wind to fight, his consciousness would be damaged, but the evil weapon spirit would be injured even more severely.
The blood-red wind was very fierce, like a wind blade that attacked indiscriminately. The white light spot dodged left and right for a while, and after paying a price, it finally approached its source! The originally motionless red ball of light immediately began to flee, and the chaotic astral winds also completely disappeared.
When using the wind, the evil weapon spirit could do almost nothing. Gu Zheng's approach had awakened it, and it had no choice but to flee.
"Damn Jiao Jiao!"
The evil weapon spirit roared. Although it had fallen into a deep sleep, it was still relatively clear about the changes in the nine-storey blood tower.
"Aren't you afraid of death?"
The red ball of light did not dare to tangle with the white light spot, and the sound it made as it fled was somewhat flustered and exasperated.
"If you were afraid of death, then you wouldn't have come in!"
Gu Zheng smiled coldly. The white light spot suddenly disappeared, and then reappeared in the path of the red ball of light. It grew larger in an instant, and viciously bit the red ball of light. For a special existence like the evil artifact spirit, this kind of Spiritual Sense attack that was similar to devouring was much more powerful than disintegrating.
"It's actually you!"
The bitten evil weapon spirit roared.
"What's wrong? Can't it be me? "
Gu Zheng sneered, and while expelling the poison, he dodged the white ball of light's pursuit.
"This is really a case of a tiger being bullied by a dog. If you have the ability, stop right there!"
The evil weapon spirit was really angry. Although it was somewhat unwilling to lose to a consciousness led by a weapon spirit, it was not that sullen. But now, Gu Zheng's consciousness led by a consciousness dared to viciously bite it. How could it not be angry!
"So what if I stop?"
After expelling the poison, the white ball of light no longer dodged. After growing larger, it bit the red ball of light again.
"Bastard! If it wasn't for the damned Jiaojiao lessening your weakening, would you dare to fight me? "
The evil weapon spirit roared and viciously slammed into the white ball of light again.
After nearly a day of hard work, Gu Zheng's use of consciousness was already quite good. Perhaps if the evil weapon spirit was at its peak, his ability would be somewhat lacking. But now, the evil weapon spirit was not at its peak, and the situation was not the same as before!
Facing the red ball of light's attack, the white ball of light instantly turned into a light spot. After dodging the red ball of light's attack, it instantly grew larger and bit again.
"Ah …"
The evil weapon spirit let out a drawn-out scream. It could have dodged the attack, but because of its weakness, it was still bitten hard in the end.
"Tastes great!" Gu Zheng smacked his lips and said.
"You deserve to die!"
The red ball of light no longer pursued. It was suspended in the air and trembled constantly, as if it was trembling with anger.
"No, I don't deserve to die. I'm a good person."
Although Gu Zheng's mouth was dry, his heart was particularly heavy. The evil weapon spirit's voice gave him a feeling that it was going to do something desperate.
"Don't force me. If you do, you'll definitely regret it!" The evil weapon spirit said hatefully.
"Regret? How would I regret it? "
Gu Zheng's heart trembled. The evil weapon spirit's words did not seem to be threatening.
"I'm not afraid to tell you that I have a powerful Natal Divine Power. If I use this Divine Power, you'll definitely die! Of course, if I use this Divine Power, I'll fall into a near-endless sleep. So, unless it's absolutely necessary, I won't use this Natal Divine Power. I know you must be thinking that if worst comes to worst, you'll just run away. But what I want to tell you is that once I use this Natal Divine Power, you won't even have the chance to escape! "The evil weapon spirit said solemnly.
"Sure enough, the most undesirable situation has happened. The danger level of the variables is far beyond imagination!" The weapon spirit's voice sounded.
"I'll ask Jiaojiao first!" Gu Zheng sent a strand of his divine sense.
Without the obstruction of the Barrier, Gu Zheng contacted Jiaojiao very quickly.
After telling Jiaojiao what the evil weapon spirit said, Gu Zheng immediately asked, "Jiaojiao, do you think the Divine Power mentioned by the evil weapon spirit is likely to exist?"
After listening to Gu Zheng's explanation, Jiaojiao was also very depressed, "Master, the evil weapon spirit can't be understood by common sense. The Divine Power it mentioned might really exist!"
"Hehe."
Seeing that Gu Zheng was silent, the evil weapon spirit laughed, "So? Are you asking your two Artifact Spirits? And then the answer you got wasn't ideal? "
"So what if I am? The impact won't be too big! "Gu Zheng sneered.
"Don't be impulsive. Let's have a good talk and resolve this conflict properly. How about it?"
"How do you want to talk?"
"You let my nine-storey pagoda go, and I won't bite you again. Does that count as a proper resolution?"
"Are you joking with me? I don't even know how you did it. How can I believe you when you say you won't bite me again? "
"I'm a man of my word. I said I won't bite you, so I definitely won't bite you! The reason I can bite you is because you used the nine-storey pagoda. The pagoda has your imprint on it. As long as I remove the imprint, you won't be able to bite me even if you want to! You can ask your Jiaojiao about this and see if I'm lying. "
Gu Zheng's heart moved, and he immediately asked Jiaojiao.
"Master, it's not lying about this. The nine-storey pagoda does have your imprint. It's because of the imprint that it can bite you back. Before I merged the two pagodas, I had no way of knowing where the imprint was. Now that I've found it, I can't remove it! If it really does remove your imprint, it won't be able to bite you back. " Jiaojiao's voice paused, then she sighed, "I thought that as long as Master got rid of it, the imprint would naturally disappear. Who would've thought that it had such a powerful Natal Mystique!"
As Gu Zheng was thinking, the evil weapon spirit spoke again, "In the cave, you were almost sucked out of the spatial immortal item by the blood soul. The terrifying experience is still fresh in your mind, isn't it? I can also remind you that my Natal Mystique has something to do with space! So don't hesitate anymore. Hurry up and agree to my proposal. I'll help you remove the imprint, then you can let Jiaojiao separate the two pagodas and let me go. We'll all be happy! "
"If I agree to your proposal, you'll remove the imprint immediately?" asked the weapon spirit.
"Yes, I'll show my sincerity. As long as you agree, I can remove the imprint for you first, then wait for Jiaojiao to separate the pagodas. However, since I've shown my sincerity, you should also show your sincerity! "laughed the evil weapon spirit.
"What sincerity? An oath to your inner demon? "
"Smart."
The weapon spirit and the evil weapon spirit answered each other's questions, but Gu Zheng was still silent.
"Gu Zheng, if you really can't do it, just give up on this mission! If it was an ordinary enemy, I wouldn't say such discouraging words. But facing this evil weapon spirit, I don't think there's a need to gamble this time. "said the weapon spirit seriously.
"Even if I want to get the pagodas back, I don't recommend Master to take the risk!" Jiaojiao spoke up.
Gu Zheng didn't reply to the weapon spirit and Jiaojiao's suggestions. Instead, he asked the evil weapon spirit, "An oath to my inner demon? What kind of oath should I make? To never be enemies, or just temporarily? "Gu Zheng finally spoke.
"Being enemies with you guys isn't a wise thing to do. You should make an oath to never be enemies!" said the evil weapon spirit happily.
"Aren't you thinking a bit too much? Cultivators make an oath to their inner demons and have their inner demons to restrain them. You're just a weapon spirit, who's going to restrain you? What if you come looking for trouble with me in the future? "Gu Zheng sneered.
"How about this, then swear that you won't take the initiative to be enemies with me unless I come looking for trouble with you!" said the evil weapon spirit anxiously.
"Alright, since that's the case, then let's settle this properly!" Gu Zheng sighed, then said seriously, "I swear!"
Gu Zheng's oath was only three words. The white light disappeared in the air, and when it reappeared, it was already beside the red ball of light.
The white ball of light disappeared and flashed again. Its distance and speed far exceeded the few times the evil weapon spirit had seen it before. After it grew bigger, it slammed into the red ball of light. However, the red ball of light's behavior was different from before. It didn't immediately turn around and bite back after being bitten. It just quietly floated, coldly watching Gu Zheng expel the poison.
"You're as despicable as that female weapon spirit! It's not that I didn't give you a chance, you just didn't cherish it. "The evil weapon spirit said hatefully.
"Despicable? I don't think so! "
Before the poison was completely expelled, the white ball of light flew toward the red ball of light again, as if it wasn't afraid of being bitten back and was willing to risk its life for the red ball of light.
"Since that's the case, then prepare to be destroyed!"
Roared the evil weapon spirit. Gu Zheng only felt that his vision was alternating between light and darkness. The scene in front of him was no longer in the nine-story blood tower.
It was empty all around. As far as the eye could see, except for the red land below, there was only the blood-red sun in the sky.
"What's this? An illusion? "
The white ball of light flew forward, but even though it was extremely fast and had flown thousands of miles in an instant, the scene in front of him didn't change at all.
"This is not an illusion, this is the Celestial Realm!" The weapon spirit sighed.
"The Celestial Realm? What's the Celestial Realm? "Gu Zheng asked.
"To put it simply, the Celestial Realm is the Divine Sense Space formed by the comprehension of the Law of Space by the almighty. In the Celestial Realm, the person who uses the Celestial Realm is equivalent to a supreme existence. It can do many things that can't be done in the real world. It can create all things with a thought, overturn the clouds and rain with a thought, and decide the life and death of a person with a thought! Of course, the Celestial Realm is divided into different levels, and there are also differences in power! Looking at this empty Celestial Realm, it should belong to the lowest level. "The weapon spirit's voice sounded very weak.
"Since it's the lowest level of the Celestial Realm, it shouldn't be a sure death, right?" Gu Zheng said with a smile.
"How can you still smile? Your rashness this time is beyond redemption! "The weapon spirit said hatefully, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
"I had no choice!" Gu Zheng sighed. "Think about it carefully. The evil weapon spirit is so different. Do you really believe that this matter can be solved properly after making a Heart Demon Oath? What's more, the Earth is only so big, and its growth rate is extremely shocking. I'm afraid that we'll encounter it sooner or later. What should I do then? Compromise again? I'm afraid that even if I'm willing to compromise at that time, it won't be willing when it grows up! After all, two days ago, it said that it wanted to treat you and Jiaojiao as food! So, to make peace with it is simply asking a tiger for its skin. I'd rather die than do such a thing! "
