It was another dawn. Gu Zheng, who came out of the Chaos Space, looked at the dawn in the east and was in a daze.
When he was cultivating in the Chaos Space, Gu Zheng thought of the days when he was exploring the Shu Ruins.
It had been more than half a year since he came out of the Shu Ruins. During this time, although Gu Zheng would go to the Chaos Space to cultivate every day and had experienced danger in the Kongkong Sect's treasure trove some time ago, on the whole, his days were very leisurely compared to the high pressure in the Shu Ruins.
To the average person, leisure was something they could not wish for. However, to Gu Zheng, leisure was a kind of enjoyment after a stressful life. He could have some time occasionally, but not all the time. After all, he was an immortal cultivator.
"Weapon Spirit, I want to take on a mission," Gu Zheng said.
"Sure, it has been some time since you took the initiative to take on a mission. It's good to take on a mission to adjust your leisure days. As for what mission to take, let me think about it."
The Weapon Spirit did not let Gu Zheng wait for too long. Its voice only paused for about five seconds before it spoke again. "I'll give you a simple mission. Within 15 days, go to the Kunlun Sect alone and check on the Divine Stone of Kunlun!"
"Divine Stone of Kunlun?" Gu Zheng frowned.
The first time Gu Zheng heard of the divine object, the Divine Stone of Kunlun, was when he was in the sect. At that time, Liu Yunzi and Han Shanzi came to Emei to talk to Gu Zheng about the quota for the Chaos Tower. During this time, they mentioned that the Divine Stone of Kunlun was strange. It had been a few months since this incident. The Weapon Spirit suddenly asked Gu Zheng to check on the Divine Stone of Kunlun, which made Gu Zheng a little curious.
"When I first heard that the Divine Stone of Kunlun was strange, I didn't think much of it. However, in the past few days, I felt a trace of something unusual."
The Weapon Spirit's voice was full of worry. This kind of situation rarely happened. Gu Zheng could not help but ask, "What's unusual?"
"There's Immortal Essence in the air."
"What?"
The Weapon Spirit's faint words made Gu Zheng feel like thunder in his heart. Firstly, this was the Age of Chaos, and there wasn't any Immortal Energy in the air. Secondly, he himself was also an immortal cultivator. If there was immortal essence in the air, it was impossible for him not to sense it.
"There is indeed Immortal Core Power in the air, but this Immortal Core Power is extremely rare. For example, if the Immortal Core Power in the air during the Flourishing Magic Era was like a river, a lake, or a sea, the Immortal Core Power in the air now is just a speck of fluorescence. After all, fluorescent lights aren't like fireflies. They're the kind that you might encounter one or two in a day. "
"Artifact Spirit, what does that mean?"
Gu Zheng was really worried to death. Today, the Artifact Spirit kept pausing in its speech, and its worried look made people feel uneasy.
"I don't know what this means either, that's why I asked you to check the Kunlun Divine Stone."
The Artifact Spirit actually smiled, as if her previous worries were nothing more than Gu Zheng's hallucinations.
"Then what are you worried about?" Gu Zheng was speechless.
"I still don't know if my worries will come true. It's useless for me to say it. After you see the Kunlun Divine Stone, if my worries come true, I'll naturally tell you then." The Artifact Spirit smiled mischievously.
"I despise you!" Gu Zheng said angrily. Then, he didn't say anything else.
After a while, the Artifact Spirit asked, "What are you thinking about? Are you still thinking about the Kunlun Divine Stone? "
"No, anyway, if you don't want to say it now, it's useless for me to think about it. I'm just thinking that this mission sounds simple, but in fact, it's not that simple. In the process of this mission, it might cause a lot of things! "Gu Zheng smiled bitterly.
"I gave you a simple mission, but everything has a cause and effect! Although this trip to Kunlun will definitely cause some things, these things shouldn't be difficult to solve. "The Artifact Spirit said.
"That's right. Everything has a cause and effect. The things that might happen are the causes that I planted back then." Gu Zheng nodded.
If he arrived at Kunlun within 15 days, he would be in time for a grand event.
The Kunlun Sect was the leader of the righteous path and possessed the Kunlun Ruins that opened once every ten years.
The things produced in the Kunlun Ruins were better and richer than those in the Shu Ruins. People could stay there for as long as five months.
Unlike Shu Mountain, half of the spots to enter the Shu Ruins belonged to the disciples of the branch sects. Those who could enter the Kunlun Ruins were all Kunlun disciples! In this way, the Kunlun Sect would be able to obtain an extremely large amount of resources from the Kunlun Ruins every ten years!
Of course, no one knew what kind of price Mount Shu had paid to obtain two spots to enter the Kunlun Ruins this time.
In the month after the Kunlun Ruins closed, the entire Kunlun Sect would be very lively. At that time, many people from other sects would be invited to the Kunlun Sect.
The people who were invited to the Kunlun Sect were not there to watch the closing ceremony, but to receive cultivation resources!
The Kunlun Sect was the leader of the righteous sects, and they indeed acted like a leader. They would allocate some resources to other sects, so that they could obtain some precious materials that were almost impossible to find outside in this Dharma Ending Age where resources were scarce.
However, the Kunlun Sect did not give out resources for free. They needed the cultivators who received the resources to use their inner strength in the next 20 days to provide energy for the operation of the Kunlun Sect's Ancestral Dragon Formation.
The reason why Gu Zheng felt that the mission of the Kunlun Sect would not be too simple was not only because of the conflict between him and the Kunlun disciples, but also because of the karma from the sect.
Kunlun was the leader of the righteous path, and Shu Mountain was the second largest sect of the righteous path. No matter where they were, the first and second had always been at odds. Kunlun and Shu Mountain were no exception. However, the conflict between Kunlun and Shu Mountain was not as bad as the conflict between Qingcheng and Emei in the past. They were just very competitive with each other, and they were on guard against each other.
Although they were not on good terms, on the surface, if anything major happened, Kunlun and Shu Mountain would still be on the same side. After all, they represented the righteous path in the world.
It was also because of the conflict that the Kunlun Sect never invited people from Shu Mountain and its branch sects to participate in the grand event. If Gu Zheng went to the Kunlun Sect during the grand event, he would definitely be embarrassed.
Moreover, the Shu Mountain branch sect that the Kunlun Sect hated the most was none other than Emei! This was because during the prosperous era, the Long-brow Daoist had unlocked the energy battlefield of the Emei Pagoda. For a time, all the sects wanted to enter it to train, and even the Kunlun Sect was no exception.
However, the Long-brow Daoist was the founder of Emei, and he was from the Shu Mountain Sect. Naturally, he rejected the Kunlun Sect's request to let their disciples enter the energy battlefield to train! Therefore, since then, the Kunlun Sect's people especially hated the disciples of Emei.
Since he had taken the initiative to accept the task, Gu Zheng did not stay for long. During the day, he took care of some of the things around him. When it was late at night, he took out the Thunder Tooth Sword and flew straight to Emei under the cover of the night.
After returning to the sect, Gu Zheng listened to Elder Wuchou's report on the sect's affairs. There were two things that made him frown. He frowned slightly.
The first thing was that Zhao Wen of the Zhao Mansion had unexpectedly come to visit the sect a few days ago.
When he was in the Zhao Mansion, Gu Zheng had given Zhao Wen a month's time. If he still wanted to eat Gu Zheng's delicious food, he could come to the sect to find him.
After that, Gu Zheng stayed in the sect for more than two months, and returned to the city for more than three months. From the beginning to the end, it had been almost half a year. He did not know why Zhao Wen had come to visit.
Regarding Zhao Wen's visit, Elder Wuyou had also asked him about it. However, his answer was that he had coincidentally entered the mountain to play, so he came to visit. As for the disappearance of the Dark Ancient Wood Coffin, he did not mention a single word.
Gu Zheng did not take Zhao Wen's matter to heart. He only frowned in surprise.
The second thing that made Gu Zheng frown was that ever since the white cat ate the spiritual beast food, it had been in a deep sleep. Now, several months had passed, but it still showed no signs of waking up!
The somewhat worried Gu Zheng asked the Artifact Spirit about the white cat. The Artifact Spirit's answer was that for a descendant of a divine beast like the white cat, the longer it slept during its advancement, the greater its future achievements would be.
The Artifact Spirit also told Gu Zheng that although the white cat was in a deep sleep, that was only on the surface. In fact, its current state was just like Gu Zheng who had entered a mysterious realm. In the white cat's' world ', it was also in a mysterious realm.
Two days later, Gu Zheng set off for Kunlun.
Regarding Gu Zheng's trip to Kunlun this time, Sora Aoi and the other upper echelons of the sect were somewhat worried. After all, Emei was not liked in Kunlun at all.
In this regard, Sora Aoi and the others had also made a request to accompany him, but they were all rejected by Gu Zheng. This would be a rare experience for him alone. Moreover, the Artifact Spirit must have thought that Sora Aoi and the others would make such a request. Therefore, when he issued the mission, he stated that he only wanted Gu Zheng to go alone.
After some delay on the way, Gu Zheng entered Kunlun Mountain three days later.
The cold wind and the fluttering snowflakes were everywhere. As far as the eye could see, it was a world of ice and snow.
Stepping on the Thundertooth Sword, Gu Zheng flew into the depths of Kunlun Mountain not long before he put away the Thundertooth Sword and walked on foot. This did not mean that he could not withstand the cold wind in the sky, nor did it mean that the time for the Thundertooth Sword to fly was up. Instead, it was during the Kunlun Sect's grand event.
The Kunlun Ruins had been closed for eight days, and the grand event of Kunlun Mountain would be held on the tenth day. There were still two days before the grand event, and many people from the cultivation world would head to the Kunlun Sect. It was precisely because of this that Gu Zheng did not want anyone to discover the secret of his ability to fly on his sword.
After walking for more than two hours and climbing up a snowy mountain, Gu Zheng saw a group of people at the foot of the mountain tidying up their tents.
Judging from the color and division of the tents, the people at the foot of the mountain should be divided into two sects.
Gu Zheng went down the mountain and approached the crowd. The location of these people was the path that he had to pass through to reach the Kunlun Sect.
"Fellow Daoist, are you going to the Kunlun Sect too?"
The people who were tidying up the tents naturally noticed Gu Zheng. A fair-skinned young man in the red tent area asked in surprise.
"Yes, I'm also going to the Kunlun Sect! Dare I ask Fellow Daoist, which sect are you from? "
Gu Zheng looked at the young man who was about the same age as him and revealed a kind smile.
"We're from the Tianxin Sect from Misty Wind Island." The young man stretched out his hand and pointed at the people who were still tidying up the red tents behind him. Then, he said, "My name is Yang Zhenling. How should I address you, fellow Daoist? Which sect are you from? "
The people from the two sects used white tents and red tents respectively. In terms of clothing, they were obviously different from the mainland cultivators.
"Which sect are you from? Why are you alone?" “
Just as Yang Zhenling's voice fell, a middle-aged man who was originally in the white tent area came over and asked Gu Zheng with a straight face.
"So it's Fellow Daoist Yang from the Tianxin Sect. My name is Gu An, a rogue cultivator without any sect."
Gu Zheng ignored the middle-aged man and only answered Yang Zhenling's question.
Gu Zheng did not want to tell Yang Zhenling and the others his true identity. Anyway, after a while, he would speed up and shake these people off. If he told them that he was the leader of the Emei Sect, it would only make them laugh at him. After all, everyone knew that the Emei Sect was not welcomed by the Kunlun Sect.
As for the sect that Yang Zhenling belonged to, Gu Zheng had never heard of it. After all, the number of overseas cultivator sects was not less than that of the mainland. They lived in various islands on the sea and were mostly covered by immortal arrays. Very few outsiders knew about them.
"A rogue cultivator? A young rogue cultivator. How high can your cultivation be to receive an invitation from the Kunlun Sect? Don't tell me you're going to watch the show? "
The stern-faced middle-aged man had a trace of undisguised mockery on his face. His pair of not-so-big eyes stared at Gu Zheng, sizing him up from head to toe. He was as rude as he could be.
Gu Zheng frowned slightly. This middle-aged man's cultivation was at the early stage of the fifth level. This kind of cultivation was considered very good for his age. However, the middle-aged man's character was obviously not good. A cultivator at the early stage of the fifth level could be considered an expert, but his words were full of sarcasm and without any manners.
"Haha!"
Yang Zhenling smiled a little awkwardly and opened his mouth to smooth things over for the middle-aged man. "This is Senior Luo Jin from the Heavenly Conch Sect on the overseas Blood Tide Island. He usually likes to joke with the juniors."
"So you're a fellow cultivator from the Heavenly Conch Sect. I've heard so much about you!"
Gu Zheng did not address Luo Jin as a senior, but since Yang Zhenling introduced him, he cupped his hands in greeting.
Luo Jin accepted Gu Zheng's greeting casually and rolled his eyes. "Boy, have you heard of my Heavenly Conch Sect?"
It was just a polite question, but who would have thought that Luo Jin would ask so directly? Gu Zheng could only smile.
"I've heard of it. It's said that the Heavenly Conch Sect is very prestigious overseas."
Today was the first time Gu Zheng had heard of the Heavenly Conch Sect. While he was flattering them on the surface, he was already a little impatient and was about to say goodbye to these people in front of him.
"Uncle Luo, we've finished packing. We can set off now."
Among the disciples who were tidying up the camp, one of them shouted at Gu Zheng and the others.
"Nephew Zhenling, it's time to go."
The camp of the Heavenly Conch Sect had also been tidied up. An old man with white hair and beard also called out.
