After Mo Xiang arrived, she stood in front of the six Corpse Ji with tears streaming down her face. There was no need to mention how heartbroken she was.
Gu Zheng gave Meow Meow a look. He did not disturb Mo Xiang and began to break the array with Meow Meow.
The three-layered immortal formation on the second floor of the treasure trove was much more powerful than the previous three-layered immortal formations. Although Mo Xiang had told him the method and Gu Zheng could easily break the immortal formation, he still had to go to the core of the three-layered immortal formation, so there was still some danger. As for the danger he had to face, it would be the same as the danger he faced in the core of the three-layered immortal array.
In the center of the hall, Gu Zheng and Meow Meow shot their immortal power into the void. The light in front of them changed, and the immortal array space was instantly formed.
The scene in the first layer of the immortal array was exactly the same as what they had experienced in the Heavenly Snail Cavern. There were many real and fake sea creatures swimming back and forth.
Although the first layer of the immortal array was very similar to the one they had experienced before, the difficulty was much higher than the previous one. According to Mo Xiang, if one took a wrong step here, all the sea creatures would attack the person breaking the array. Moreover, the destructive power was very strong, at least at the level of refining energy into qi.
"There are at least two or three hundred sea creatures here. If you take a wrong step, two or three hundred sea creatures will attack at the same time. Just thinking about the scene is scary!" Meow Meow sighed.
"Fortunately, Mo Xiang's method can break the array at the fastest speed. Otherwise, even if your movement techniques are good, I feel that in such an environment, it's inevitable that you will make mistakes!"
To be able to make the artifact spirit sigh like this, it was already an affirmation of the power of the immortal array.
"Sister, with your ability, guiding us to break the immortal array will also make mistakes?"
Although the artifact spirit often educated Meow Meow, Meow Meow still treated her as family. Hearing the artifact spirit's words of 'boosting the morale of others and diminishing her own', she was somewhat dissatisfied.
"Of course, I can guide you to break this immortal array, but the method I provide is not as direct as what Mo Xiang told you. This is something that can't be helped. After all, she knows more about the immortal array here than I do. However, it's not that I can't provide you with the most direct method to break the array, it's just that it will take a lot of time to deduce. "The artifact spirit smiled.
As they spoke, the first layer of the immortal array was broken. Gu Zheng and Meow Meow Meow entered the second layer of the immortal array space.
It was still the real world, the scene in the circular space. But now, there was a difference. Strange sounds came from above Gu Zheng's head's head.
"Crack Crack …"
Amidst the sound of stones shattering, the statue on the dome of the circular space cracked open, revealing black skin from within.
The statues all looked like bat-like but muscular monsters. There were as many as ten of them.
Gu Zheng had already learned from the Weapon Spirit, Jasmine, that the method of breaking the second layer Immortal Formation was completely different from the second layer Immortal Formation in Heavenly Snail Cavern.
The second immortal formation in the Heavenly Snail Grotto only needed to be broken by injecting immortal energy into the light formation according to the correct method.
..................................... .......................'s......
Although there was a need to fight here, Gu Zheng and Meow Meow were strong enough to deal with the demons here.
Since force was an unavoidable method, Gu Zheng certainly wouldn't miss the opportunity to strike first. While the statues were still shedding rocks, he launched his attack.
Circulating his Natal Primordial Water, Gu Zheng's body was instantly surrounded by a circle of mist, which then turned into a hazy icy mist.
Starting from Gu Zheng's feet, the white frost quickly spread into the hall, reaching the top of the dome in a very short time.
Their surroundings became a world of white. Even the surface of the statues turned white, emitting an aura of extreme cold.
Although the extreme cold didn't freeze the statues, it slowed down the rate at which the rocks on their bodies fell off.
The icy mist on Gu Zheng's body spun faster and faster. The air was instantly filled with fine ice dust.
Gu Zheng's hand seals changed, and the ice dust rapidly condensed, turning into many arrows. With a point of his finger, the arrows flew towards the dome. The scene of tens of thousands of arrows flying together was very spectacular!
When Gu Zheng took the Water Spirit Pill to upgrade his Water Controlling Art to the advanced level, he learned two immortal skills. One was called Ice Mist Filling the Sky, and the other was Ice Spirit Shooting Everywhere.
Encountering the Corpse Ji on the second floor of the treasure trove had a great impact on Gu Zheng. At that time, the Artifact Spirit had asked him if he'd gained anything, but he kept it in suspense and didn't answer. In fact, what he gained was that he'd fused the Ice Mist Filling the Sky and Ice Spirit Shooting Everywhere, turning them into a new immortal skill.
Although the statues in the air were slowed down by Gu Zheng's extreme cold, it didn't mean that they didn't know how to defend. When they sensed danger approaching, a layer of yellow light burst out from their bodies. And these yellow light barriers were like bubbles that could fuse with each other. When the light barriers of twenty to thirty statues fused together, the destructive power it could withstand was quite shocking.
Strange noises rang out one after another. The ice crystals, which were like thousands of arrows, crazily attacked the yellow light screen. Although most of them were repelled, the remaining ones still managed to destroy the light screen and pierce into the bodies of the statues.
Red blood flowed out from the statues' bodies. Immediately, thin threads flew out from the blood and floated towards Gu Zheng.
If it was before, Gu Zheng would definitely use the Dragon Blood Crystal. But this time, he didn't want to use it!
Gu Zheng, who had activated the Fire Dragon Technique, controlled the huge fire dragon that appeared in the air. Not only did it burn all the thin threads, it also rushed to the dome, turning it into a disaster.
Strange cries rang out. The cold and hot were very destructive. Some of the statues directly fell from the dome. They died before they could revive and fell to the ground, shattering into pieces.
However, some of the statues finally revived at this time. They flapped their wings and rushed out of the sea of fire. Not only were there flying bats, but there were also flying monkeys!
"Awoo …"
The two types of flying monsters opened their mouths and roared at Gu Zheng. Some spat out black fog, while others spat out large amounts of thin threads.
"Arrogant!"
Gu Zheng wasn't fighting alone. With a meow, he blew at the Demonic Lotus Lamp in his hand. Billowing demonic fire immediately spewed out from the lamp.
Whether it was the black fog or the filaments, all of them disappeared without a trace under the refinement of the demonic lotus lamp's demonic fire. Even many of those monsters with wings fell from the sky amidst the demonic fire.
However, the remaining demonic creatures did not seem to know pain. They continued to approach Gu Zheng, and the thin threads and black fog in their mouths continued to spit out wave after wave. It was as if they were competing with the Demon Lotus Lamp that was continuously spitting out demonic flames.
The high temperature in the air melted the originally overwhelming ice. Gu Zheng's True Water circulated in his body, and the ice melted into water. In an instant, it flew into the air and condensed into a huge ball of water.
"Go!"
Gu Zheng roared. After using the 'Raging Sea Frenzy', he turned the enormous ball of water in the air into a sea dragon that was six meters long.
Like a tiger in a flock of sheep, the sea dragon flew into the crowd of monsters and slammed left and right. The dragon's tail kept twitching, and there weren't many monsters left. All of them were sent flying and crashed into the stone walls of the hall, shattering into pieces.
It wasn't that the flying monsters were weak, but that they'd encountered the even fiercer Gu Zheng and Meow Meow.
After killing all the demonic creatures in the second-level immortal formation, Gu Zheng and Meow Meow appeared on the last level of the third-level immortal formation.
Only by entering the last layer could one enter the core of the formation. As soon as Gu Zheng entered, he joined forces with Meow Meow and injected immortal force into the light formation.
This was the last layer of the three-layered formation. It was different from the ones they'd encountered before. To break it open, two different immortal forces had to be injected at the same time, and then controlled by the same person.
The light formation in the three-layered immortal formation was the core of the entire immortal formation. It could be used to shut down all the killing moves in the immortal formation, temporarily suspending the immortal formation. It could also be used to open the passage to the core of the immortal formation. It could also be used to unlock the door of life, allowing people to leave the immortal formation space and obtain what it was protecting without completely destroying it.
"Gu Zheng, there's a bit of a problem with this formation!"
Gu Zheng was in the midst of trying to shut down the killing moves in the three-layered formation, when the weapon spirit suddenly spoke.
"What's the problem?" Gu Zheng asked.
"In the previous three-layered formation, shutting down the killing move didn't have the same effect as breaking the formation. But in this three-layered formation, shutting down the killing move has the effect of breaking the formation!" The weapon spirit said.
"The effect of breaking the formation, what do you mean?" Gu Zheng didn't understand.
"The effect of breaking the formation means that the Immortal Formation is not truly broken. You can still enter the core of the Immortal Formation, but the things that were originally protected by the Immortal Formation are no longer protected by the Immortal Formation!" The Artifact Spirit said seriously.
"You're saying that after this effect appears, whether it's the super golden chest or the immortal formation that summons Boundless Sea back from the great wilderness, they'll all be exposed in front of Jasmine?" Gu Zheng's brows furrowed.
"That's right, I'm worried that Jasmine is using us!"
The weapon spirit paused, then analyzed: "Everything that Jasmine told us is true based on our intuition, so there's a possibility that she's using us! What's more, this formation is so different. Shutting down the killing move will cause the formation to lose its protective power. Why didn't she tell us about such an unusual thing! "
"Can we still give up on shutting down the immortal formation killing move, and use the method of breaking open the life gate to temporarily leave this place?" Gu Zheng asked.
"You're already in the process of shutting down the killing move. You can either continue like this until the killing move is shut down, then open the life gate of the immortal formation and temporarily leave this space. Or you can completely stop now and face the violent killing move that comes with stopping halfway. Once all the killing moves are taken care of, the life gate of the immortal formation will naturally appear. "The weapon spirit said.
"Only an idiot would choose the second method."
Gu Zheng shook his head with a smile, then continued: "In other words, since we've already reached this step, if Jasmine outside has any bad intentions, we won't be able to stop her in the short term, right?" Gu Zheng asked with a smile.
"That's right, it's like that. If you want to see if Jasmine has any bad intentions, you can only follow the current steps." The weapon spirit said sullenly.
"Since that's the case, there's no point in thinking too much. I'm still willing to believe that Jasmine won't have any bad intentions! As for why Jasmine didn't tell us about such an unusual thing in the immortal formation, I think it might have something to do with her previous guesses. "Gu Zheng smiled bitterly and continued with his previous actions.
Jasmine had once told Gu Zheng that Boundless Sea might have tampered with some of the important immortal formations in the treasure trove and made some changes to them.
Jasmine had also warned Gu Zheng that her method might not be absolutely correct, so Gu Zheng and the others had to be careful and pay attention to changes to prevent any dangerous situations from happening.
Gu Zheng had never made a mistake in the immortal formation according to Jasmine's method, so he subconsciously felt that Jasmine's method was the most correct method! It was precisely because everything was correct before, but it was wrong at the crucial moment that the weapon spirit couldn't help but suspect whether all of this was Jasmine's scheme!
"Hmph, she better not have any bad intentions. If she offends this weapon spirit, I'll definitely make her regret it!"
Despite saying this, the weapon spirit's voice was no longer filled with hatred. It had to be said that Gu Zheng's warning had been effective.
The weapon spirit really cared about the golden chest outside. When people cared about something, they would be so anxious that they would overlook some things. This was a normal situation.
Gu Zheng and Meow Meow were breaking the immortal formation space. In the circular space, Jasmine cried to her former sisters for a while, then stopped crying.
She walked around the circular space and stopped for a while. Her expression was very complicated. There was sadness, there was reminiscence, but these expressions were all replaced by hatred in the end.
Suddenly, in a certain place in the circular space, Jasmine's brows furrowed.
The finger seals on her hands changed again and again. Jasmine waved her hand in the air. There was a ripple in the air, and a mirror-like screen of light appeared.
Several bursts of immortal power shot onto the mirror. After a while, the mirror reflected the image of a strange green python. This strange green python was the one that Qiao Shan had released before.
The strange green python was originally lying quietly underground. When Jasmine's immortal technique shone on it, it immediately sensed it.
"Whoosh …"
A green whirlwind appeared on the ground. Without destroying the ground, the strange green python actually burrowed out of the ground and whipped its tail at Jasmine.
Jasmine dodged to the side, barely avoiding the green python's attack. She immediately fled towards the tunnel.
Jasmine had once reached the Return to Void realm, but now her cultivation wasn't even considered a true cultivator. She was obviously no match for the strange python.
A ferocious glint flashed across the strange python's eyes, as if warning Jasmine. After staring for a while, it turned its head and its gaze fell on the super golden chest.
"Crack …"
Something seemed to shatter in the space. This was the sound of Gu Zheng shutting down all killing moves in the immortal formation space.
Without the protection of the immortal formation, the strange green python immediately rushed to the side of the super golden chest. Its mouth opened to an exaggerated extent in an instant, and it swallowed the super golden chest in one gulp. Its body twisted and disappeared from the circular space.
"Sigh!"
Jasmine sighed. There was nothing she could do in such a situation.
