"The Corpse Concubines are all women related to Boundless Sea. Through the Immortal Formation created by these Corpse Concubines, he can be summoned across planes. When the Chaos Tribulation of the Great Desolation reaches him, he can be summoned back to this world through the Immortal Formation of this level to avoid the threat of the Chaos Tribulation!"
Jasmine's faint words shocked Gu Zheng so much that his eyes widened. This Boundless Sea was truly playing a huge game of chess! If this person returned to Earth, what kind of changes would occur in this world!
"I didn't expect him to know about the chaos calamity, and to be able to make such arrangements in advance," Gu Zheng muttered.
"He's not human to begin with, so it's not surprising that he could foresee things like this. And with his cultivation speed, after so many years in the chaos, I wouldn't find it strange even if his cultivation reached Daluo Jinxian's level."
Jasmine's voice paused, and then she continued, "Sect Master Emei, I hope you can stop Boundless Sea from returning. He once said that Jin Xian's forbearance before reaching that level was only so that when he returned in the future, he could make this world tremble with his breath! If he can return, not to mention his own strength, just his Corpse Ji will be an extremely powerful force! "
"The Corpse Ji you speak of are indeed extraordinary, but many of them have already been killed by us. They shouldn't be a threat, right?" Meow Meow asked.
Jasmine shook her head, "Unless you turn the Corpse Ji into ashes, when Boundless Sea returns, reviving them won't be too difficult. Moreover, because of Boundless Sea's return, these Corpse Ji will have a bloodline awakening effect. Their strength will increase by leaps and bounds, their faces will return to their original appearance, and their intelligence will greatly increase. As puppets, they will be completely obedient to Boundless Sea. Can you imagine how terrifying it would be for such a person to bring along a group of Corpse Ji? "
"If that's really the case, the world will tremble with his breath. These words aren't exaggerated at all," Meow Meow frowned.
"Jasmine, I have a question!" Gu Zheng said.
"Speak," Jasmine said.
"Don't blame me for being suspicious! Logically speaking, the existence of the treasure trove was to protect the immortal array used to summon across planes. If that was the case, it could also be said that all the treasures in the treasure trove were resources for his return in the future. Then, why would he still let the later generation disciples enter the Heavenly Snail Grotto to search for opportunities? He can completely seal off this news and make the treasures in the Heavenly Snail Grotto safer. "
Gu Zheng's voice paused, and then he said solemnly, "You know so much about Boundless Sea. Logically speaking, it would be safer for Boundless Sea to kill you, but why did he leave you in the Immortal Formation? If someone discovers this place, wouldn't Boundless Sea's grand plan be ruined? "
"It's normal for you to have doubts. After all, there are some things that I haven't explained clearly."
Jasmine smiled bitterly, her gaze drifting again.
"When I was trapped in the Immortal Formation, I tried to infuriate him so that he would kill me. That way, everything would be over."
"In the face of my anger, he seemed to be in great pain. He told me that he was torturing me because of my betrayal, but he still loved me and wanted to give me another chance."
"He told me that if I hadn't died when he returned to this world, then he would forget my betrayal and give me another chance."
Tears fell from Jasmine's eyes: "I didn't want this so-called chance. I was still trying to infuriate him. I even told him that if he didn't kill me, if someone broke into the Immortal Formation, I would tell them everything and beg them to destroy the Immortal Formation here!"
"When he turned around, there was pain in his eyes, and the last thing I heard him say was — — I'm lucky to survive, but it's my fate to break. Everything has its own destiny, and destiny has its own variables."
Jasmine looked at Gu Zheng and smiled bitterly with tears flowing down her face. "Did his last sentence explain all the questions you asked just now?"
Gu Zheng was silent for a moment, then asked again: "What does Boundless Sea have to do with the Blood Tide Forbidden Zone? What kind of place is the Blood Tide Forbidden Zone? "
"When Boundless Sea was still a Little Goblin, he obtained some opportunities in the Blood Tide Forbidden Zone, and then he had everything he had in the future."
"According to Boundless Sea, the Blood Tide Forbidden Zone is an 'Evil Source' in the world. If anyone can refine it, their cultivation will be at least at the Demi-Sage level. In the past, Boundless Sea didn't have the strength to refine the 'Evil Source', but if he returns from the Great Wilderness, refining the 'Evil Source' will be his main goal. "Jasmine said.
Gu Zheng's eyebrows furrowed: "Can the Blood Tide Forbidden Zone be destroyed?"
"There's nothing in the world that can't be destroyed, but it requires a certain amount of strength."
Jasmine's voice paused, and then she continued: "In the past, I didn't see through Boundless Sea's nature, but in these years of being trapped, I've thought about many things. In my opinion, if the 'Evil Source' is refined by Boundless Sea, this world won't just tremble from his breath, he can even turn everyone into his puppets! And after he refines the 'Evil Source', it's hard to say what kind of change his temperament will undergo. After all, that's an 'Evil Source' born from the world! If you want to do something for this world, don't let anyone refine the 'Evil Source', or else the consequences will be unthinkable. "
"Previously, when we entered the treasure trove's Triple Immortal Array, we encountered some Red Hair Severed Limbs. What exactly are those things? Why are they so terrifying? "Gu Zheng asked.
"The Red Hair Severed Limbs were brought out by Boundless Sea from the 'Evil Source'. He divided the Red Hair Severed Limbs into three parts, the hands and feet as one, and placed them in the first Triple Immortal Array. The arms and legs as one, placed in the Immortal Array leading to the second floor of the treasure trove. The waist and abdomen as one, placed in the last Triple Immortal Array leading to the second floor of the treasure trove. As for what the Red Hair Severed Limbs are, according to Boundless Sea, this thing is a creature born naturally from the 'Evil Source'. It was born as a stillborn, and was killed by him with a narrow escape. "
Jasmine's words made Gu Zheng's heart tremble. The Red Hair Severed Limbs' original body was very strong, the weapon spirit had analyzed it before, but they never would have thought that this thing was actually a stillborn born from the 'Evil Source'!
"The two of us aren't the only ones who entered the Heavenly Conch Grotto's treasure trove. The Demon Sect's people are also here, and they should have a clearer understanding of the treasure trove than I did before! Their goal in coming to the treasure trove is to obtain one thing. What do you think that thing is? I have a feeling that perhaps the Demon Sect's ultimate goal is the Blood Tide Forbidden Zone! "Gu Zheng said.
"Demon Sect? They've never been honest! "
Jasmine murmured, and then continued, "If their ultimate goal really is the Blood Tide Forbidden Zone, then there are only two things they want to obtain! One is to obtain the chest and abdomen of the Red Hair Severed Limbs, and the other is to obtain the Nine-Colored Illusion Sonic Conch! "
"What? You're saying that the Nine-Colored Illusion Sonic Conch is in the treasure trove? "
Gu Zheng's eyes widened. The Nine-Colored Illusion Sonic Conch was the top Immortal item that made Ancestor Heavenly Conch famous. He didn't think that this thing would actually be in the treasure trove.
"Yes, but I don't know where exactly it is in the treasure trove. As for why Boundless Sea left the Nine-Colored Illusion Sonic Conch behind, it's because some top Immortal items that are born naturally can't leave the plane they're born in, and the Nine-Colored Illusion Sonic Conch is one such Immortal item, "Jasmine said.
"Whether it's the chest and abdomen of the Red Hair Severed Limbs or the Nine-Colored Illusion Sonic Conch, how are they related to the Demon Sect's ultimate goal?" Gu Zheng asked.
"The evil energy in the Blood Tide Forbidden Zone is divided into different levels. The closer it is to the 'evil source,' the stronger the evil energy. According to Boundless Sea, the evil energy in the water above the Immortal Array is of one level, the evil energy in the water below the Immortal Array is of another level, and the evil energy in the 'evil source' is of another level, "Jasmine said.
"You're saying that the location of the Immortal Array isn't at the bottom of the sea?"
Gu Zheng frowned. Originally, he and the weapon spirit both thought that the Immortal Array was at the bottom of the sea, but now it seemed that this wasn't the case at all. Going to the bottom of the sea to search for the treasure seemed to be no longer that simple.
"That's right, the Immortal Array isn't at the bottom of the sea!" Jasmine shook her head. "Boundless Sea once said that the chest and abdomen of the Red Hair Severed Limbs has the ability to mutate people. Once it successfully mutates someone, that person will become like the Red Hair Severed Limbs, unafraid of the evil energy in the Blood Tide Forbidden Zone! This evil energy refers to the evil energy in the 'evil source,' and this level of evil energy has already reached a certain level. Even Return to Void Late Stage cultivators would have to be extremely cautious if they encountered it! Similarly, the Nine-Colored Illusion Sonic Conch also has the ability to make people unafraid of this kind of evil energy. "
Seeing Gu Zheng's frown, Jasmine spoke again. "However, even if the Demon Gate's people get the Red Hair Severed Limbs or the Nine-Colored Illusion Sonic Conch, it's not like you don't have time to prepare. Boundless Sea once said that even with Jin Xian's cultivation, if he isn't at the Immortal Array's loophole, he won't be able to get close to the 'evil source' through the Immortal Array. The loophole in the Immortal Array will appear once every year during the Hungry Ghost Festival, and next year's Hungry Ghost Festival is still eleven months away from today! "
Gu Zheng nodded. "How much do you know about the Immortal Array in the treasure trove?"
"I know everything about it. What do you want to do?"
Jasmine's answer made Gu Zheng's eyes light up. "I want to know how to return to the first floor of the treasure trove, how to enter the core of the three-layered Immortal Array, and how to safely break the Immortal Array sealed in the core!"
Gu Zheng was very excited. If Jasmine could provide a safe method, he didn't dare to imagine how great this opportunity would be.
"Returning to the first floor of the treasure trove is simple. Safely breaking the Immortal Array sealed in the Immortal Array is also simple. However, using the method I know to enter the core of the three-layered Immortal Array doesn't mean that it's absolutely safe." Jasmine said.
"What do you mean by 'not absolutely safe'?" Gu Zheng asked.
"I'll tell you the safest method. After you enter the core of the Immortal Array, you can seal all of your killing moves. However, the Immortal Array sealed in the Immortal Array is related to the operation of the three-layered Immortal Array. Once it's broken, it'll trigger some variables. This is something that can't be predicted. Perhaps some of the seals on killing moves will lose effect because of this. This can't be considered absolutely safe! "Jasmine said.
"It's fine. Just taking this little risk and being able to do something I thought I couldn't do before is already very worth it!" Gu Zheng smiled.
"Okay, then I'll tell you the method now."
After listening to Jasmine's method, Gu Zheng asked again: "Of the rooms on the second floor, which ones have treasures and which ones have dangers, do you still remember?"
Jasmine shook her head: "Dangers and treasures, these are things that can be easily changed. When I created the treasure map, some sisters felt that the original layout wasn't good enough and already made changes. Therefore, there's no 'treasure map' to speak of. However, with your cultivation, the dangers in the rooms shouldn't be a problem. "
"Even though that's the case, without the 'treasure map', we'll still waste some time!"
Gu Zheng's voice paused, and then he said solemnly: "Now tell me, how to break the Immortal Summoning Array!"
"Without the Immortal Summoning Array, it's very likely that he'll die in the Primal Chaos Tribulation."
This day had finally arrived. The murmuring Jasmine was slightly absent-minded.
After three breaths, Jasmine opened her mouth: "If you want to break the Immortal Summoning Array, you must use the 'Seven Severance Curse', and the person who uses the 'Seven Severance Curse' must be someone directly related to Boundless Sea. You need to help me catch six Corpse Ji. When the time comes, I'll use the 'Seven Severance Curse' with them and completely resolve our previous grievances. "
Seeing the determination in Jasmine's eyes, Gu Zheng frowned and asked: "Is there a price to pay for using the Seven Severance Curse?"
"Yes, I and the six Corpse Ji who use the Seven Severance Curse will all die. This is the price of our lives." Jasmine smiled bitterly.
Gu Zheng fell silent. Then, he chatted with Jasmine for a while and left the Immortal Formation Space with Meow Meow.
Jasmine stayed in the Immortal Formation Space. After all, the treasure trove wasn't a safe place. She was still very weak, so staying in the Immortal Formation Space was the best choice.
"You're going to return to the first floor of the treasure trove, right?"
Looking inside, the weapon spirit seemed very excited. After all, Gu Zheng had obtained another opportunity.
"Of course."
Gu Zheng's voice paused, and he chuckled: "Weapon spirit, do you still remember my active mission? You said that you wanted me to explore the Blood Tide Forbidden Area, but now you know that the Blood Tide Forbidden Area is different from what we imagined. Before entering the Heavenly Conch Cave, I also said that exploring the Heavenly Conch Cave would be my active mission! But you said that exploring the Heavenly Conch Cave is not a threat, and there might not be a generous reward. It does not conform to the rules set by Lord Gokusen. What do you think we should do now!? "
"What should we do? Salad! " The weapon spirit rolled its eyes at Gu Zheng: "Whether it's the Blood Tide Forbidden Area or the exploration of the Heavenly Conch Cave, they are all different from what I imagined! Since that's the case, you haven't accepted the mission to explore the Heavenly Conch Cave, then change your active mission to exploring the Heavenly Conch Cave's treasure trove! However, you will definitely explore the Blood Tide Forbidden Area. This will also be your next active mission. "
"Sure!" Gu Zheng smiled: "Where's the reward?"
The weapon spirit rolled its eyes at Gu Zheng again: "Don't give me that! Of course, the reward will be given to you after the treasure trove in the Heavenly Conch Cave is completely explored! "
