After returning to Mount Emei, Gu Zheng entered the Primal Chaos Tower and gave Jiaojiao some of the materials he'd obtained over the past few days. After that, Gu Zheng helped Jiaojiao heal her injuries.
The Primal Chaos Tower's restoration had come to an end. Without the Immortal Wind Grass and the Cloudscraper Beast's bone, the process had become very slow.
Gu Zheng was depressed. According to the artifact spirit, the Immortal Wind Grass and the Cloudscraper Beast's bone weren't particularly precious resources. Their rarity couldn't be compared to the metal spirit energy he'd obtained in the past. But after so much time had passed, whether it was in the original cultivation world or in the Great Fragrance Villa, he hadn't been able to obtain the Immortal Wind Grass or the Cloudscraper Beast's bone.
After ending his conversation with Jiaojiao, Gu Zheng went to another room in the tower.
The room was pink in color and looked like a girl's boudoir. On a large bed with a gauze canopy, Meow Meow was curled up in her original form.
Meow Meow had been in a deep sleep for some time now. When she'd wake up and how much her strength would increase, Gu Zheng had no idea.
After quietly looking at Meow Meow for a while, just as Gu Zheng was about to leave, Meow Meow's curled up body suddenly began to twitch violently.
"Eh? What's going on? "Gu Zheng asked the artifact spirit.
Meow Meow's sleep had always been very quiet, so this situation was very strange. Furthermore, as she twitched, she let out a painful meow. It was a bit like a human's cultivation going berserk.
"Maybe it's because of your arrival. She was at a critical moment when she was affected by something and fell into a state similar to cultivation deviation," the artifact spirit said.
"Ah?" The artifact spirit's explanation surprised Gu Zheng. "When she fell into a deep sleep before, not only did I look at her, I even touched her. But I didn't let her fall into such a state! And whether it was you or her, both of you said that when she fell into a deep sleep, she wouldn't be in a state where she couldn't withstand even the slightest disturbance. "
The artifact spirit and Meow Meow had indeed said that to Gu Zheng. Otherwise, Gu Zheng wouldn't have come to see Meow Meow at a time like this.
"Be that as it may, whose path of cultivation would be smooth? It wasn't hard to understand that accidents would happen occasionally. Moreover, it was precisely because her slumber could not be disturbed at all that she was still somewhat aware of what was going on outside. You're her master, so she must know that you've come to this room. Perhaps it was because she missed you that caused her Qi Deviation? "The artifact spirit said.
"Then what should we do now?" Gu Zheng asked anxiously.
Meow Meow was a demon cultivator, so Gu Zheng was at his wit's end. If she were a cultivator, Gu Zheng might be able to do something about it.
"Don't be in such a hurry. I'm currently examining her body. I also want to know how to resolve this matter," the artifact spirit said solemnly.
A moment later, the Artifact Spirit's anxious voice sounded in Gu Zheng's mind.
"Right now, Meow Meow seems to have fallen into an illusion similar to a mental demon. From the looks of it, she won't be able to get through it on her own. If you want to save her, you'll have to invade her mind with your divine sense. But that's very dangerous. If you can't save her, your mind will follow her experience and become trapped in it, unable to extricate yourself! "The artifact spirit said.
"Unable to extricate myself? What will happen then? "Gu Zheng asked.
"Unable to extricate yourself? That depends on what happens to Meow Meow's master. Whatever happens to her will be the same as yours!" The artifact spirit said.
"In other words, if she lives, I live, and if she dies, I die?" Gu Zheng frowned.
"That's right! So, if you want to save her, you must think carefully. Meow Meow is born with a very strong ability to see through illusions. You know this very well. If even she can be trapped in this realm, you must be careful of getting lost, "the artifact spirit said solemnly.
"Meow Meow is my family. If something happens to my family, I can't not save them!" Gu Zheng said seriously.
"Since you're determined to save her, I won't stop you. But you must be firm in your beliefs and constantly remind yourself that you're in an illusion. What you see can't be explained by common sense. You're going in this time mainly to awaken Meow Meow's lost mind. If you suffer any harm in the illusion, your body will also suffer the same. Do you understand? "The artifact spirit said seriously.
"Understood."
Gu Zheng nodded and then used his divine sense to invade Meow Meow's mind.
His vision darkened, then brightened again. Gu Zheng no longer saw Meow Meow's clear mind, but a whole new world.
Gu Zheng felt like he was in a small valley. The mouth of the valley wasn't open, but rather a thin line of sky between two cliffs. However, this line of sky wasn't so narrow that it was wide enough for two people to walk side by side.
Gu Zheng didn't find it strange that he was in this place. He didn't think there was anything wrong with him being here. He could remember some things clearly, but he couldn't remember most things clearly. He knew he was here to take Meow Meow away, but how he got here and what kind of situation Meow Meow was in, he had forgotten all about it. He didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
It was undeniable that Gu Zheng was lost in Meow Meow's situation, but it was also because of the artifact spirit's warning that he was firm in his beliefs. He didn't forget his purpose in coming here.
A gust of wind blew out of the line of sky, and a strange sound like a ghost crying sounded. Gu Zheng, who felt a little cold, couldn't help but shrink his neck.
Gu Zheng walked towards the line of sky. He wanted to complete his mission. He wanted to find Meow Meow and take her out of this place.
The line of sky was very cold, and the cliffs on both sides were icy cold. After walking about twenty meters, the line of sky forked. One path led to the left, the other to the right.
Just as Gu Zheng was hesitating about which path to take, he heard a soft whimper coming from the left path.
"Meow Meow!"
Gu Zheng's heart stirred, and he immediately walked towards the left path.
There was a person in the path, squatting on the ground with teary eyes. Who else could it be but Meow Meow?
"I thought it would take some time to find Meow Meow, but I didn't expect to find her so quickly."
Gu Zheng smiled inwardly and called out Meow Meow's name.
However, the two weren't very far apart, but Meow Meow didn't respond at all to his call.
"Eh?"
Curious, Gu Zheng walked forward.
"Bang …"
After walking about five meters, Gu Zheng's head hit a colorless barrier.
"What is this? It's so familiar. "
Gu Zheng touched the colorless barrier, and a familiar feeling arose in his mind.
There were too many things that Gu Zheng had forgotten, including his identity as an immortal cultivator and the things that corresponded to it.
As Gu Zheng pondered, the colorless barrier he touched changed subtly. It was originally as hard as iron, but now Gu Zheng felt like he could smash it with a punch.
Gu Zheng was overjoyed. No longer thinking about what that familiar feeling was, he threw a punch at the colorless barrier.
Under the ordinary punch, the colorless barrier shattered like a mirror. Meow Meow looked at Gu Zheng, and tears flowed like a spring.
"Mister!"
Meow Meow threw herself at Gu Zheng like a wronged child seeing its parents. Like a little monkey, she hung onto Gu Zheng's body.
"Get down first!"
Although Meow Meow looked like a young girl, her body was very curvaceous. When she jumped onto Gu Zheng, Gu Zheng was almost instinctively afraid that she would slip, so he held her butt with both hands as if he was holding a child.
Meow Meow whimpered, and Gu Zheng felt a strange feeling in his heart.
"Meow Meow, get down first!"
Gu Zheng vaguely felt that someone didn't like him being too intimate with Meow Meow. Moreover, he had never been too intimate with Meow Meow before, so this position made him feel a little uncomfortable.
"Okay."
Meow Meow answered cheerfully, then jumped off Gu Zheng's body.
"Hehe."
Meow Meow looked at Gu Zheng and laughed a little embarrassedly.
Gu Zheng looked at Meow Meow's shy and happy eyes, and felt a little dizzy for a moment, as if he couldn't remember what he was supposed to do.
"Mister, are you unhappy to see Meow Meow? Why are you frowning? "
Meow Meow took Gu Zheng's hand and shook it gently.
"I remember now!"
Gu Zheng was delighted. He was thinking about what he was supposed to do here.
"Meow Meow, do you know how to get out of here?" Gu Zheng asked.
Hearing Gu Zheng's question, Meow Meow seemed to remember why she had cried before.
"I don't know. This is a maze. I can't get out!" Tears welled up in Meow Meow's eyes again.
"It's okay. I'll take you out."
Gu Zheng smiled and led Meow Meow forward.
Was Gu Zheng confident that he could get out? He wasn't, but he felt that he couldn't lose confidence, and he couldn't let Meow Meow feel more despair.
Although it was a maze, ever since Gu Zheng and Meow Meow had encountered the first fork in the road, it was as if the sky wanted them to go all the way. There hadn't been any more forks in the road.
During this process, Gu Zheng and Meow Meow talked, but it wasn't anything meaningful.
Slowly, Gu Zheng found that the air current in the One-Line Sky was getting colder and colder. Slowly, frost appeared on the originally damp cliff. Slowly, the speed of the two people moving forward became slower and slower. Slowly, Meow Meow kept saying that she was cold.
Gu Zheng still remembered that he wanted to take Meow Meow out of this place. When Meow Meow said that she was cold, he took off his shirt and gave it to her.
Gu Zheng felt that his thoughts were getting blurrier and blurrier, and he couldn't remember some things. He could only remind himself that he wanted to take Meow Meow out of this maze. He was like a monkey, skipping forward in the sky. He felt that this was the only way he wouldn't freeze and faint in this place.
Gu Zheng spent almost all his attention on reminding himself of his purpose and dispelling the cold. Sometimes, he couldn't even hear what Meow Meow was saying.
The time in the illusion was different from the time in the real world.
Gu Zheng had already experienced many things in the illusion, but in the real world, he had only been in the illusion for 30 seconds.
In the real world, Gu Zheng seemed to be very cold. He closed his eyes and shivered.
"I don't care. Even if I can't do anything to help him!"
Gu Zheng's situation made the weapon spirit very anxious. She decided to see what Gu Zheng had experienced in the illusion, even at the risk of damaging herself.
After using a secret technique, the weapon spirit's vision merged with Gu Zheng's vision in the illusion.
The weapon spirit merged their vision. This method wouldn't have any effect on Gu Zheng. She could only watch what was happening on TV, but she couldn't interfere at all.
In the weapon spirit's eyes, Gu Zheng and Meow Meow were still moving forward in the sky, one in front and one behind.
"Idiot, this isn't Meow Meow. Hurry up and kill him!"
The weapon spirit wasn't trapped in the illusion, so she could tell at a glance whether it was real or not. When she looked at Meow Meow through Gu Zheng's vision, Meow Meow looked like a snowman.
"This is so infuriating. When will you see through the illusion?"
No matter how anxious the weapon spirit was, Gu Zheng still walked and muttered the same sentence.
"Sir!"
Meow Meow, who had been left behind, pouted and called out to Gu Zheng, but Gu Zheng didn't hear her.
"Sir!"
Meow Meow stamped her foot as if she was about to cry and shouted again.
"Hmm?"
Gu Zheng, who was walking forward, looked back. Although he asked, his body was still jumping, and his eyes were empty as he looked at Meow Meow. He kept repeating, "Take Meow Meow away from this place."
Tears flashed in Meow Meow's eyes. She didn't say anything and walked back to Gu Zheng. When Gu Zheng saw that she had caught up with him, he repeated his words and skipped on the road.
After walking for another hundred meters, a fork finally appeared on the side of the cliff. Gu Zheng couldn't help but feel happy.
"Quick, Meow Meow, we found the way out!" Gu Zheng said excitedly.
The fork was very wide, and only about fifty to sixty meters long. It was possible to see that at the end of the fork was a whole new world.
The fifty to sixty meters of fork was quickly passed, and Gu Zheng found that in front of him was a slanted flight of stairs. The flight of stairs was very long, and at the end of the flight of stairs was a flat land. There was a village there, and at the moment, smoke was rising in spirals.
Gu Zheng felt that he had completed his mission. He finally walked out with Meow Meow. The original cold in the sky was long gone, and the warm feeling in the air made people feel comfortable, as if they were bathing in the winter sun.
Gu Zheng felt that his heart and body were very light. He felt that he was very tired, and he wanted to close his eyes and rest.
Suddenly, Gu Zheng felt an extreme sense of danger. It was as if someone had poured a bucket of ice water on him while he was sleeping. His whole body quivered, and he completely woke up.
The moment Gu Zheng regained his clarity of mind, he felt Meow Meow's hand, which had been pushing him, was less than an inch away from his back.
