In response to Gu Zheng's question, the woman's eyes swept over Meow Meow, then swept over Tang Mo in Gu Zheng's hand. "And who are you?"
Gu Zheng's brows furrowed slightly. He didn't think that this woman would still ask him a question in such a situation.
"Sect Leader Emei," Gu Zheng said indifferently.
"Sect Leader Emei? You're so young! "
The woman laughed with slight mockery and contempt. "If you're Sect Leader Emei, why are there Yao cultivators following you around? And why are you holding an evil weapon?"
"There are good and evil people, beautiful and ugly people, and so are Yao. Sabers can be used to kill people, but they can also be used to save people," Gu Zheng said indifferently.
"There are good and evil people, beautiful and ugly people, and so are Yao. Sabers can be used to kill people, but they can also be used to save people." The woman muttered Gu Zheng's words, and her eyes lit up. "Well said, you've convinced me of your identity!"
Gu Zheng sneered. "It's up to you to believe it or not, but I don't think there's a need for you to believe it!"
"What do you want?" The woman's brows furrowed slightly.
"I don't want to waste too much time. Even though I think you should know a lot of things, you should be at odds with Patriarch Tian Luo, and you should tell me a lot of things! However, it's hard to know what's in a person's heart. Who knows if you'll lie about certain things? So I want to use my own methods to find out what I want to know! "Gu Zheng said.
After hearing Gu Zheng's words, not only was the woman not afraid, she even smiled happily. "Can I ask you a question?"
"Go ahead!" Gu Zheng said.
"To be able to come to this immortal formation space, you must have encountered a lot of evil things along the way. What I want to know is, if it's a matter of great importance to the people of the world, will you help? "
The woman spoke very seriously. Her watery eyes stared intently into Gu Zheng's eyes, as if she wanted to see into his heart.
"Whether it's for public or private reasons, as long as it's within my power, I will!" Gu Zheng's answer was without hesitation.
"Alright, I don't think you're a bad person. I hope I'm not blind again!"
There was relief and sorrow in the woman's voice, but all of this disappeared in a flash. She smiled at Gu Zheng. "What method do you want to use to find out what you want to know?"
"I need you to relax your mind and not resist the power I'm guiding. That way, I'll be able to know what I want to know."
Gu Zheng's voice paused for a moment before he said solemnly, "If you resist the power that I guide, then I will use violent means. At that time, you will be even more miserable than you are now!"
Gu Zheng did not plan to use Guide on the woman. After all, no matter how well Guide worked, it would still cause damage to the person. Furthermore, the Artifact Spirit had just told him that this woman was currently in a very bad state. If he were to use the 'introduction' on her, her memories might turn into a pile of paste before she could even finish asking her questions.
The Artifact Spirit had also said that in this situation, it would be better for her to use the Divine Ability to make this woman speak the truth, but only if she was completely relaxed.
The Artifact Spirit could use the Divine Ability to make people speak the truth, but if the other party had cultivation, she would first need to torture the other party. Once the other party's willpower was worn down, the Artifact Spirit would be able to achieve the desired effect. However, the woman's situation was special, and she didn't seem like a bad person. Torture wasn't suitable.
The woman nodded. "Understood. Do it!"
"Who are you?"
Even though Gu Zheng was still asking, the Artifact Spirit's Divine Ability was already used on the woman.
"I'm called Jasmine, Boundless Sea's seventeenth concubine."
The woman didn't resist and answered truthfully. The Boundless Sea she was talking about was Patriarch Heavenly Conch.
"Why are you trapped in this Immortal Formation? What's with the Immortal Devouring Needles and chains on your body?" Gu Zheng asked.
"Because I dissuaded and ruined Boundless Sea's plan, I was trapped here by Boundless Sea. The Immortal Devouring Needles and chains on my body are his punishment."
When Jasmine answered, she still didn't resist, but the expression on her face fluctuated greatly. There was grief and resentment. Blood even seeped out of the corner of her mouth. Her entire body was trembling.
"Artifact Spirit, what's going on?" Gu Zheng hurriedly asked.
"Actively cooperating isn't like wearing down willpower. Her willpower hasn't collapsed yet. No matter how she cooperates, there's still some stubbornness controlling her. And this stubbornness is very strong. It clashed with my Divine Ability, so she's been injured."
The Artifact Spirit paused for a moment before continuing, "Her stubbornness should be her hatred for Patriarch Heavenly Conch. She also said at the beginning that when she didn't have any hope, someone actually entered this place! I feel that even if I don't use my Divine Ability, she'll still tell you what you want to know. If I continue to use my Divine Ability to ask, I don't know how long she'll be able to hold on with her special condition! "
Gu Zheng nodded. "If that's the case, then forget it. Let her speak herself!"
The Artifact Spirit retracted his Divine Ability, and Jasmine immediately coughed violently.
Gu Zheng waved his hand and pulled out the Immortal Devouring Needles that had been stuck in Jasmine's body for who knew how many years. Jasmine groaned and spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Heal first."
Gu Zheng said. With a flick of his finger, a Rain Dew Pill fell into Mo Xiang's mouth. Then, he moved behind Mo Xiang and channeled his celestial power into her body to help her absorb the medicinal effects.
In a moment, Jasmine had already absorbed the Rain Dew Pill. There was only a scar left on the wound on her stomach, and some color had returned to her face.
"You should be very clear about your own condition. I won't use my own method anymore. I want you to answer the question I want to know!" Gu Zheng said indifferently.
"Okay, I'll answer the question you want to know!"
Jasmine looked at Gu Zheng with excitement in her eyes.
Jasmine used to be a Return to Void Realm cultivator. Although her strength had regressed, she still had experience. When the Artifact Spirit used his Divine Ability just now, she felt an extraordinary energy. This made her even more certain that Gu Zheng, a young man who didn't look very old, could accomplish what she wanted to do. What's more, Gu Zheng could use violence instead of violence. This made her feel that she didn't wait for the wrong person.
Gu Zheng thought for a moment and said, "I want to know a lot of things. Among them are things about you, about Boundless Sea, about this place, and about the Blood Tide Forbidden Zone."
Jasmine nodded. Her eyes drifted, as if she had returned to the era in her memories.
The Heavenly Conch Patriarch did have a hundred wives and concubines. Jasmine was the most favored of them all.
Jasmine loved the Heavenly Conch Patriarch very much. She wanted him to ascend to the Great Wilderness so that she could cultivate harder and reunite with him.
According to Elder Gao and Mu Chunfeng, the Heavenly Conch Patriarch was someone who didn't care about the development of his sect or reproduction. Such a person definitely wouldn't know how to talk about love. After all, his strength was there. He didn't need to talk about love to get a woman. When one had the strength to do something simple, most people wouldn't want to do something complicated. This was human nature.
But according to Jasmine, the Heavenly Conch Patriarch wasn't just good at talking about love. He was also an expert in this field! It was because of this that Jasmine was like a little girl, completely devoted to him. She was blinded by his promises and didn't see his true colors too early.
When the Heavenly Conch Patriarch reached the Return to Void Middle Stage, he had already begun to build this treasure trove. His women all contributed to the construction of this treasure trove.
According to the Heavenly Conch Patriarch, once he ascended to the Great Wilderness, his enemies would definitely come to seek revenge. He didn't want his women to be implicated because of him, so he gave the order that after he ascended, all of his women had to start a new life. They didn't need to stay on Blood Tide Island anymore. Whether it was finding new dao companions or entering the mountains to cultivate, he didn't have any objections. He only wanted them to live well.
Almost all of the Heavenly Conch Patriarch's women cried at his decision. After all, the Heavenly Conch Patriarch was an extremely outstanding man! He was leaving this world, but he was still thinking about them. How could they not be moved?
Although they cried, the Heavenly Conch Patriarch's women were very powerful. They weren't afraid of any forces seeking revenge. They wanted to stay on Blood Tide Island and take care of the sect that the Heavenly Conch Patriarch had built.
The Heavenly Conch Patriarch opposed the women's decision. He meant that his children and grandchildren had their own fortune. He didn't want his disciples and grand-disciples to be in a state of being sheltered. They had to go through the hardships themselves.
The women all followed the Heavenly Conch Patriarch's ideas and didn't want to go against him. Therefore, this matter was settled. In the following time, they were still busy building the treasure trove of Heavenly Conch Cave.
As for the treasure in the Tian Luo Grotto, the Tian Luo Ancestral Master said that he wanted to leave most of what he had learned in his life in this treasure trove, waiting for a fated disciple to open it and obtain his inheritance.
The Sky Conch Ancestral Master's cultivation base progressed very quickly. When his cultivation base reached the late-stage Void Return Realm, he did not allow his women to participate in the construction of the Sky Conch Cavern's treasure trove. According to him, he wanted to complete the rest of the treasure trove himself.
When the Heavenly Conch Patriarch's cultivation base reached the Late Void Return Stage, his women almost couldn't see him anymore. He stayed in the treasure trove of Heavenly Conch Cave every day, busy with the things he needed to do. During this time, some of the Heavenly Conch Patriarch's women had left Blood Tide Island in advance according to his request.
Among the many women of the Heavenly Conch Patriarch, Mo Xiang was the most favored because she was different from the rest. The Heavenly Conch Patriarch once said that she was the most disobedient, naughty, and coquettish of his women!
The most mischievous one was Mo Xiang. When she was bored, she created four treasure maps and hid them in four different places. Of the four treasure maps, two were real and the other two were fake. The fake treasure map that Gu Zheng obtained was one of them.
The most disobedient Mo Xiang, because she missed the Heavenly Conch Patriarch, ignored his orders and entered the treasure trove of Heavenly Conch Cave to see the person she missed day and night.
Mo Xiang's disobedience this time allowed her to see something she shouldn't have seen. It turned out that the sisters who left Blood Tide Island were cruelly refined into Corpse Ji by the Heavenly Conch Patriarch.
Mo Xiang's relationship with her sisters was very good. She couldn't accept the reality of her sisters being refined into Corpse Ji. She found the Heavenly Conch Patriarch and asked him why he did this.
Seeing that the matter was exposed, the Heavenly Conch Patriarch didn't become flustered and exasperated. Instead, he seemed very sad. After all, he really did have feelings for Mo Xiang.
Mo Xiang could roughly guess why the Heavenly Conch Patriarch wanted to refine his woman into a Corpse Ji. After all, she was the head of a Devil Cultivator Sect overseas. The method of refining a Corpse Ji was an evil technique unique to their sect.
The Heavenly Conch Patriarch didn't hide it from Mo Xiang. Why did he want to refine his beloved women into Corpse Ji? Furthermore, the Heavenly Conch Patriarch also told Mo Xiang that as long as she pretended not to see this matter, when he ascended to the Wilderness, he would also bring Mo Xiang with him. The two of them would never be separated again. This decision, he originally wanted to give Mo Xiang a pleasant surprise! As for refining other women into Corpse Ji, he didn't plan to keep it a secret from Mo Xiang. However, the time wasn't right, so he didn't take the initiative to tell her.
Mo Xiang believed that the Heavenly Conch Patriarch didn't lie to her. She really loved him. Her mind was in a mess and she needed some time to think. The Heavenly Conch Patriarch didn't make things difficult for Mo Xiang and let her leave the Heavenly Conch Grotto's treasure trove.
After two days of heart-wrenching, Mo Xiang finally understood that although she still loved the Heavenly Conch Patriarch deeply, she wouldn't be with him anymore. She couldn't accept the Heavenly Conch Patriarch's cruel method of abandoning his own women in order to achieve his goal. At the same time, she still had a trace of fantasy in her heart. She naively thought that with the Heavenly Conch Patriarch's love for her, he could let her be willful!
The irrational Mo Xiang, the delusional Mo Xiang, the heartbroken Mo Xiang, finally told her sisters about this matter.
The Heavenly Conch Patriarch's harem exploded! The timid women chose to escape, the impulsive women chose to question, but it was all meaningless!
No one could escape. This was destined from the beginning. Except for Mo Xiang, all the women were refined into Corpse Ji.
To the Heavenly Conch Patriarch, Mo Xiang's actions were undoubtedly betrayal, and the most unforgivable thing for a man was his own woman's betrayal.
The Heavenly Conch Patriarch was a cruel person, so Mo Xiang was trapped in the immortal formation space.
Mo Xiang's story stopped. There were tears in her eyes, but also hatred.
"Why didn't those women escape?"
Mo Xiang's story wasn't clear. As a woman, Miaomiao was the first to ask this question.
"There was no point in escaping. You've seen the threads of evil in all the women's bodies! Boundless Sea is the carrier of the thin strands of evil energy. These thin strands of evil energy entered our bodies through dual cultivation. Not only does it allow our cultivation to increase at an extraordinary rate, it also allows Boundless Sea to control us to a certain extent, allowing him to sense our location, "Jasmine said.
"All of Boundless Sea's women reached the Immortal Realm through this method, right?" Gu Zheng asked.
"That's right. If there weren't so many Immortal Cultivators, how could he have built such a huge treasure trove?" Mo Xiang said self-deprecatingly.
"In that era, there were so many Immortal Cultivators on Blood Tide Island. I really don't know what kind of shock it would've caused in the Immortal Realm if this matter had been exposed!" Gu Zheng sighed.
"Everything Boundless Sea did was for the sake of the future. If he only wanted to dominate, then with our strength back then, we definitely could've swept through the entire Immortal Realm." Mo Xiang smiled bitterly.
"Boundless Sea refined all his women into Corpse Ji. What was his ultimate goal?" Gu Zheng got to the point.
