Under Gu Zheng's sharp sword, the smaller shrubs were cut down. Just like the large mushroom from before, they immediately disappeared without a trace. Although the larger shrubs could withstand Gu Zheng's sword, they would fade after the first strike. No matter where the second strike hit, they would also disappear without a trace.
After testing the shrubs, Gu Zheng slashed at a nearby tree. Similarly, the shrubs would fade after a single strike. This tree was as thick as a person's waist. Gu Zheng slashed a total of twelve times! As for the vines on the tree, the ones that were as thick as an arm required two strikes to cut them down.
"If I don't attack these shrubs with a sword, I won't be able to get past them. If I attack these shrubs, I can cut them down with a single strike. However, this is a waste of time. Originally, walking through the trees was considered the safest path. However, when walking through the trees, these insidious things would plot against me again and again, wasting even more time. What should I do? "
Although he didn't have any good ideas for the time being, Gu Zheng's footsteps didn't stop. He chose to cut through the shrubs to move forward.
However, opening up a path to move forward wasn't a long-term solution. The wall of fire had already entered the forest. Gu Zheng felt the burning sensation behind him become even more intense.
With a swing of his sword, the shrubs in front of Gu Zheng disappeared. His originally anxious eyes instantly brightened up. This was because he suddenly discovered a pattern!
Previously, when he wanted to walk through the trees, Gu Zheng had been tricked. This also meant that some of the plants in the forest had a certain degree of offensive power. However, during the time he was opening up a path, he didn't encounter any plants that would attack him. This included the 'bending' trees and the 'grinning' mushrooms.
"Why is it like this? Could it be because the attacks contain the Power of Metal, and this' energy battlefield 'cultivates the Power of Metal, so when faced with the Power of Metal, these plants won't resist? If that's the case, then what will happen if I use the Power of Metal when I'm light? "
Gu Zheng's eyes lit up. Previously, when he was tricked by the plants, he indeed didn't use the Power of Metal. Presumably, normal people wouldn't use the Power of Metal at that time either! After all, using the Power of Metal to lighten one's body was completely ineffective. Furthermore, it would consume a lot of energy.
As soon as he thought of this, Gu Zheng immediately used the Power of Gold to lighten his body.
Like a monkey, Gu Zheng was jumping around in the forest without any obstacles. As a result, his speed was much faster and the wall of fire was left behind.
Looking ahead, there was a faint white light in front of them. Gu Zheng felt that it should be the edge of the forest. As long as they could get close to the white light, they would pass this level.
However, the 'energy battlefield' wasn't that easy to pass through. The vines that hadn't attacked Gu Zheng all this while finally lashed out at Gu Zheng like a long whip.
There were countless vines in the forest. Fortunately, there weren't many vines that attacked Gu Zheng. This allowed Gu Zheng to deal with them as he shuttled through the forest.
One by one, the vines were destroyed by Gu Zheng's sharp sword. Gu Zheng was getting closer and closer to the white light.
However, as Gu Zheng got closer to the white light, more and more vines attacked him. Their resistance to the Power of Metal also became stronger.
As the resistance increased, Gu Zheng's speed naturally slowed down. Under this situation, the wall of fire behind him also closed the distance between him and Gu Zheng. The scorching heat made his back hurt.
Although Gu Zheng did not have many battles with Adepts, his combat skills were very high. This came from the awareness brought about by his innate talent, as well as his diligent training.
Don't think that Gu Zheng didn't spend much time on fighting skills! Although he didn't stay in the sect for much time, every time he helped Jiaojiao repair the chaos tower, it would take him more than a month. And in this month, he only needed three hours a day to repair the chaos tower. As for the rest of the time, he spent most of it in the chaos tower's' energy battlefield '.
No matter what immortal technique or skill it was, it needed to be used in order to improve. The chaos tower's' energy battlefield 'was undoubtedly a very suitable place to improve one's fighting skills.
According to the number of battles, Gu Zheng had experienced at least five to six thousand battles in the 'energy battlefield'! This was a very terrifying number. If someone who had experienced five to six thousand battles didn't have superb fighting skills, then what kind of person would have superb fighting skills?
Finally, Gu Zheng broke free from the vines' endless entanglement. He rushed out of the forest and entered the white light.
The white light faded and the space returned to normal. The thing at Gu Zheng's feet was still the jade box from before.
The Power of Metal in Gu Zheng's body didn't increase at all before this. He also didn't train much in this immortal technique. But this time, the training in the 'energy battlefield' had increased his Power of Metal a little. Although the increase wasn't much, in the long run, this could be a way to cultivate the True Natal Gold without consuming the Gold Spirit Pill. After all, this method of training through the 'energy battlefield' was much more advantageous than the traditional Metal Manipulation Art. The time it took was very short, but the results were equivalent to five days of non-stop training for the Metal Manipulation Art in the traditional method!
After adjusting his breathing, Gu Zheng took a step forward. His vision alternated between light and dark as he entered the fifth 'energy battlefield'.
The old man in the air said, "Challenger, imagine the immortal technique and skill you want to train in your mind!"
Of the five elements immortal techniques, Gu Zheng only had the Metal Manipulation Art and the Wood Manipulation Art at the intermediate level. Now that he had seen the Metal Manipulation Art in the 'energy battlefield', he wanted to see the Wood Manipulation Art in the 'energy battlefield'.
Of the five elements immortal techniques Gu Zheng had, the only one that wasn't useful in a real battle was the Wood Manipulation Art. The intermediate level Wood Manipulation Art could only be used by Gu Zheng to accelerate the ripening of certain ingredients and increase the efficacy of certain ingredients.
The treasure spirit had a very high opinion of the Wood Manipulation Art. She once said that if the Wood Manipulation Art was upgraded to the advanced level, Gu Zheng's overall strength would rise to another level.
As he thought about the Wood Manipulation Art, the light in front of him dimmed. Then, a raging flame rose from the ground in the darkness.
Gu Zheng frowned. He sighed with emotion at the miraculous nature of the 'energy battlefield'. In the previous' energy battlefield ', he had trained in the Metal Manipulation Art. He had used the Metal Manipulation Art to subdue Wood in the five elements. This time, there was also a wall of fire in front of him. But what was this? Wood should subdue Earth in the five elements!
Silently, a row of flying swords the length of a finger appeared behind the wall of fire. These flying swords aimed at Gu Zheng and shot towards him.
If it was in a normal environment, Gu Zheng wouldn't be afraid of these flying swords. However, this was the 'energy battlefield', an 'energy battlefield' where people would die. Many of his divine abilities were restricted. His cultivation was the same as in the previous' energy battlefield ', only at the late fifth level.
Gu Zheng didn't dare to hesitate and immediately counterattacked the flying swords. He had nothing in his hands, so he could only release his immortal power in an attempt to shoot down the flying swords.
The flying swords were very sharp, but in fact, their destructive power wasn't that great. Gu Zheng made a series of attacks while dodging and finally shot down all the flying swords.
"Interesting!"
Gu Zheng smiled in his heart. In the process just now, he discovered some details. It was these details that made him understand what kind of method he should use to practice the Wood Control Spell in this' energy battlefield '.
When the flying swords passed through the wall of fire, they showed signs of melting. Fire subdued Metal in the five elements.
In this energy battlefield, Gu Zheng wanted to practice the Wood Manipulation Art. In the five elements, wood gave birth to fire. When wood energy entered the wall of fire, it would definitely increase the intensity of the fire, and thus quickly disintegrate the flying swords' attacks.
At the same time, because the immortal technique Gu Zheng wanted to cultivate was the Wood Controlling Art, according to his understanding, he could be considered a wood type existence. If he was injured by the flying sword, the injuries might even have the effect of the Five Elements' mutual suppression.
In this' energy battlefield ', in addition to the invisible mutual promotion and restraint, Gu Zheng also discovered a technical detail.
The flying swords passed through the wall of fire at the same time. Although their size and shape looked exactly the same, their texture was different, giving Gu Zheng a different feeling of weight. When the flying swords were knocked down, Gu Zheng also clearly felt that the heavier flying swords had relatively greater destructive power. When they passed through the wall of fire, they also seemed to be more resistant to burning.
Since the difference in texture would affect the destructive power and resistance of the flying swords, Gu Zheng naturally had to treat them differently when using the power of wood to deal with them.
Silently, the second wave of flying swords formed behind the wall of fire.
With a plan in mind, Gu Zheng immediately flicked his fingers. The green light formed by the power of wood fell on the corresponding position of the flying swords.
"Boom!"
When the power of wood entered the wall of fire, the effect was like adding oil to the fire.
Due to the difference in size of the green light, the height of the flames on the wall of fire was also different. The lowest was more than a foot high, while the highest was more than three feet high. The size of the light of the power of wood naturally corresponded to the weight of the force.
The flying swords attacked. Their flying trajectories were aimed at the trap that Gu Zheng had set up in advance.
"Good!"
Gu Zheng applauded in his heart. The reality was as he had expected. None of the sharp flying swords could pass through the wall of fire. They all turned into liquid in the flames.
The third wave of flying swords appeared. The interval between their appearance was obviously shortening.
Gu Zheng's hands were like the wind. The green power of wood was repeatedly deflected by him towards the wall of fire.
Although the speed of the flying swords had increased, Gu Zheng still dealt with them easily. After all, his reaction was also very fast.
In the blink of an eye, the seven waves of flying swords had passed. Gu Zheng had used more than half of the power of wood produced by the Intermediate Wood Control Art. After all, the consumption of the power of the five elements in this' Energy Battlefield 'was completely different from the previous' Energy Battlefield '.
In the previous' Energy Battlefield ', Gu Zheng only needed to mix a little bit of his power of metal with his immortal power. However, the power of wood consumed in this' Energy Battlefield 'was very pure.
"Judging from the continuous increase in the strength of the flying swords, my power of wood will be depleted at most after two more waves. What exactly did I rely on to pass this' Energy Battlefield '?"
As Gu Zheng guessed, the eighth wave of flying swords appeared. Gu Zheng immediately made his move. The light spots formed by the power of wood immediately flew into the wall of fire.
Nothing unexpected happened. All the flying swords in the eighth wave were destroyed.
However, the overall strength of the eighth wave of flying swords was a little higher than Gu Zheng had expected. This also caused the remaining power of wood in Gu Zheng to be unable to deal with the ninth wave of flying swords.
When the ninth wave of flying swords appeared, Gu Zheng's eyes could not help but widen. This was because the overall strength of the ninth wave of flying swords was the same as the eighth wave of flying swords! At first glance, this was a good sign. The flying swords were not as strong as before. This also caused the power of wood that Gu Zheng originally did not have enough to use to become just right.
However, it was also because the flying swords were not as strong as before that Gu Zheng could not help but feel that there was something strange about this wave of flying swords!
In the blink of an eye, Gu Zheng made a decision. He flicked the power of wood into the wall of fire again. However, the light spots of the power of wood this time were not like the previous nine. There were only six of them.
In this situation where he felt strange, Gu Zheng could only make a choice.
There were a total of nine flying swords. There was a gap between each of them. Their light and heavy texture increased from left to right.
The six flying swords that Gu Zheng targeted were the six closest to him. They were also the six flying swords that changed from light to heavy. In other words, there were still three flying swords that Gu Zheng did not target. They were the three swords that had the heaviest texture and were the most difficult to deal with.
Gu Zheng naturally had his reasons for making such a choice.
If the flying swords did not mutate, then he only needed to deal with three flying swords. It would not be too late to attack them when they passed through the wall of fire.
However, if the flying swords mutated, no matter what form the mutation took, it would not be wrong to retain more of the power of wood.
It had to be said that Gu Zheng's caution was not wrong. The flying swords really did mutate.
The mutation was not a total mutation, but an interval mutation.
The original nine flying swords, No. 2468, did not change their trajectories. They all pierced through the wall of fire.
Gu Zheng narrowed his eyes. When he felt that the flying swords could no longer change their trajectories, he flicked the light spots of the power of wood from his finger and filled in the trajectory of No. 8 flying sword.
"Whoosh …"
The flames that erupted were at least ten feet high and successfully intercepted No. 8 flying sword.
In the end, No. 2468 flying swords were all melted into liquid by the wall of fire. They did not pose any threat to Gu Zheng.
At the same time, the flying swords of No. 1357, No. 7, and No. 9 all moved horizontally and changed to the positions that originally belonged to the even-numbered flying swords. The flames that originally intercepted No. 2468 flying swords were also extinguished in the previous burning of the flying swords.
Gu Zheng did not dare to hesitate. He flicked his finger twice and used the remaining power of wood to fill in the corresponding positions of No. 7 and No. 9 flying swords.
The raging flames rose. No. 7 and No. 9 flying swords were unable to pass through the wall of fire and finally melted into liquid. While No. 1355 flying swords flew towards Gu Zheng.
If Gu Zheng used the power of wood to deal with No. 7 and No. 9 flying swords to deal with No. 1355 flying swords, it was actually just right. However, if he did so, although the number of flying swords he faced was reduced, the destructive power would be even more powerful! With the experience of fighting with flying swords, Gu Zheng would rather choose to face quantity than quality!
Without the power of wood to use, Gu Zheng could only rely on his immortal energy. Although the battle was a little difficult, since he dared to make the decision to sacrifice quality for quantity, he naturally had his own confidence.
"Clang!"
The sound of metal clashing rang out. No. 5 flying sword was hit by Gu Zheng's immortal energy and spun to hit No. 1 flying sword.
No. 1 flying sword was hit and many cracks immediately appeared on it. Gu Zheng, who was already prepared, used his immortal energy to form a hammer and heavily smashed No. 1 flying sword.
"Crack …"
No. 1 flying sword shattered and fell to the ground and disappeared without a trace.
"Whoosh …"
No. 3 flying sword passed by Gu Zheng's side. Gu Zheng's body leaned to the side, but he was still a step too late. No. 3 flying sword caused a trace of blood to flow from his shoulder.
Sure enough, as he had guessed before, in this magical 'energy battlefield', the attacks of flying swords had the special effect of the five elements' mutual restraint. The remaining power of wood in Gu Zheng's body suddenly disappeared without a trace after this injury.
Although he was a little injured, only two of the original three flying swords were left. Gu Zheng had an easier time dealing with them.
Finally, with the sound of metal clashing, No. 3 flying sword, which was swept by Gu Zheng's immortal energy, collided with No. 5 flying sword, which was already covered in cracks. Both swords broke and disappeared without a trace.
The light in front of him alternated between bright and dark. Gu Zheng appeared in the previous space again. The thing at his feet was still the jade box he had obtained in the third 'energy battlefield'.
Gu Zheng threw a healing elixir into his mouth. The immortal energy ball in his body spun and began to recover in all aspects.
The Wood-Controlling Art in Gu Zheng's body was also not his main immortal technique, so it was still very weak.
After experiencing the 'energy battlefield' of the Wood-Controlling Art, Gu Zheng's power of wood had naturally become stronger. The time used to cultivate through the 'energy battlefield' was very short, but the effect obtained was equivalent to five days of non-stop cultivation of the Wood-Controlling Art in the traditional cultivation method!
After his body had fully recovered, Gu Zheng took a step forward. His vision turned from dark to bright.
"Challenger, imagine the immortal technique or immortal technique you want to cultivate in your mind!" The old man with the spiritual body in the air said.
Now that Tang Mo had become Gu Zheng's main immortal artifact, Gu Zheng wanted to cultivate his Mountain Splitting Saber Technique in this' energy battlefield '. He also thought about the Flowing Water immortal technique in his heart.
"Bang!"
The old man with the spiritual body in the air exploded and turned into a huge ball of light that fell to the ground. After the mushroom cloud rose and disappeared, there was a dummy made of energy.
The dummy made of energy looked exactly like Gu Zheng. It held a jet-black Tang Saber in its hand and emitted an extremely dangerous aura.
A black light appeared in Gu Zheng's hand and quickly turned into Tang Mo's appearance.
The sharp saber energy broke through the wind. The energy dummy slashed at Gu Zheng from afar.
Gu Zheng waved his hand and the saber energy broke through the wind. It collided with the energy dummy's saber energy and made a huge sound.
"Whoosh!"
Regardless of whether it was Gu Zheng or the energy body dummy, they all approached each other at the same time, their extremely fast figures leaving behind afterimages.
After all, the Mountain Splitting Saber Technique was more powerful in close combat. In order to see its power, both sides had to be close.
