Although he had dealt with Wei Fengxing, Gu Zheng was still unable to rest. There were still many sea monsters around him.
"Come, I'll let you all try out this new immortal technique!"
Gu Zheng stretched out his hand and pointed at the sea monster closest to him. A strange scene immediately appeared.
Wei Fengxing's Bubble Cage relied on the gas that floated up from the bottom of the sea during the battle. Gu Zheng's Bubble Cage, on the other hand, relied on the water controlling art to control the flow of water and absorb the gas from the sea.
The different methods of execution created different scenes. A huge bubble, like a heavy object falling into the water, fell from above and trapped the sea monster the size of a house.
Gu Zheng's fingers changed, and the pressure from the flow of water acted on the bubble. The huge monster inside immediately burst into blood foam.
"This power is really not ordinary!"
Gu Zheng couldn't help but sigh with emotion after dealing with a sea monster in such a violent manner.
The Bubble Cage was indeed very powerful. After all, when Wei Fengxing died, both his storage belt and his immortal equipment had exploded under the pressure of the bubble. If it were an ordinary immortal technique, even if it could destroy the storage belt, it would be very difficult to destroy the immortal equipment.
"It is very powerful, and the consumption of immortal energy is also very small. Its speed is also very good! However, it has too many limitations. I can only use it when fighting in the sea. "
"I've found a way to break the formation."
Just as Gu Zheng was talking to himself, the voice of the Artifact Spirit sounded.
Following the Artifact Spirit's guidance, Gu Zheng charged left and right among the sea monsters. Finally, he saw the 'formation breaking point' mentioned by the Artifact Spirit.
The so-called 'formation breaking point' was surrounded by a group of sea monsters. It was a jellyfish the size of a house, and its body was covered in rotten spots.
When they saw Gu Zheng coming over, the sea monsters that were originally guarding the jellyfish immediately swam towards Gu Zheng.
There were sea monsters in all directions, and there were so many of them. Gu Zheng did not hold back anymore. As the 'natal true water' in his body vibrated, the water dragon immediately appeared in the water, swinging its tail at the sea monsters in a mighty manner.
Previously, Gu Zheng had not exposed much of his water-type immortal technique when he was dealing with the sea monsters and Wei Fengting. Now that he was at the critical moment of breaking the formation, he could not care less.
With the water dragon dealing with a group of sea monsters, the pressure on Gu Zheng's side lessened a lot. The natal true water in his body vibrated continuously, and water arrows, water currents, and all sorts of other attacks were launched towards the jellyfish.
However, the jellyfish had an unimaginable resistance to water-type immortal arts. It floated in the sea as if it was playing Tai Chi. No matter how powerful Gu Zheng's attacks were, it could easily dissolve them.
Water-type immortal techniques had little effect on the jellyfish. Gu Zheng immediately wielded Tang Mo and slashed out with his saber Qi.
However, Gu Zheng was still some distance away from the jellyfish. Using his saber Qi in the water would affect him to a certain extent. He could not hurt the jellyfish yet, and could only use his saber Qi to open up a path for him.
Along the way, the severed corpses of the sea monsters continued to sink. Gu Zheng finally approached the appropriate distance. When he was about to slash the jellyfish with his saber, a bright light flashed in front of his eyes, and the whole scene changed! This was not the bottom of the sea, but an island under the blue sky. The people that Gu Zheng was concerned about were all waiting for him on the island.
"Insignificant tricks. Is this the extent of your illusions? Even compared to the giant clam, you are still far from it! "
Gu Zheng closed and opened his eyes. The scene in front of him suddenly shattered. This was not an island under the blue sky. This was still the sea area that was filled with the thick smell of blood.
"Die!"
Gu Zheng slashed twice with Tang Mo, and the cross-shaped saber light cut the giant jellyfish into four pieces.
"Rumble …"
Suddenly, there was a thunderous sound in the sea. The strange array was finally broken, and the Divine Power ball, which had been suppressed, was immediately freed.
Without the suppression of the Divine Power ball, its strength naturally returned to normal. In this case, the surrounding sea monsters were simply vegetables!
Gu Zheng raised and lowered his Tang Mo frequently, and the powerful saber Qi quickly cleaned up the surrounding sea monsters.
"Awesome!"
Gu Zheng couldn't help but let out a long howl when his strength was no longer suppressed.
At this time, as far as he could see, there were no sea monsters in sight. Similarly, he could not see anyone from the alliance of the righteous sects. The blood-red sea water around him gave him a strange feeling.
There was one thing that Gu Zheng did not expect in the Blood Tide Forbidden Zone. It would be very different on the day of the Hungry Ghost Festival. And this difference came from the filaments of evil energy that were everywhere in the sea!
When Gu Zheng came to the Blood Tide Island for the first time, his cultivation was still low. He used his Divine Sense to explore the sea more than 300 meters deep. In the end, because the filaments of evil energy were too annoying, he had to stop the exploration.
But today, the filaments of evil energy had become very strange. The degree of their invasion of the physical body had not changed, but the invasion of the Divine Sense had become very strong! When he was trapped by the array set up by the Blood Soul, Gu Zheng had released his Divine Sense. But even with the strength of his Divine Sense, he did not dare to release it too far, because the filaments of evil energy were not only more powerful than before, but also hundreds of times more! It could be said that in a drop of sea water now, there were countless filaments of evil energy.
The Divine Sense would be attached to the filaments of evil energy. In such a situation, not only could the Divine Sense not be used, but the Immortal Cultivator, as the master, would also be damaged. Therefore, after Gu Zheng tried once, he did not try again. This was also the reason why Wei Fengxing could sneak up to him. After all, with his strength suppressed, his perception would also decrease. He could not release his Divine Sense at all times, so it was not strange for him to be ambushed.
It was precisely because he could not release his Divine Sense that Gu Zheng could not contact his companions at this moment. He did not expect this to happen, so he did not prepare any strategy.
However, although Gu Zheng could not contact his companions to confirm the situation, he could contact the angry man. This was something that could be done with just a thought.
"Angry man, what did you see?"
The angry man had already received Gu Zheng's order to hide in the sea area under the Blood Tide Forbidden Area. And arranging for the angry man to be here was also a precaution for Gu Zheng.
"Master, four people from the Righteous Dao Alliance died, and one was seriously injured. I saved him." The angry man said.
"Who died?" Gu Zheng asked.
"Ethereal Mountain's Huang Feilong, Shushan Sect's Liu Yunzi, Sanskrit Temple's Master Xin Jing, Kunlun Sect's Daoist Dong Xuzi."
The angry man's reply caused Gu Zheng to frown immediately, and he gritted his teeth fiercely.
Gu Zheng had expected the situation to be very bad. After all, he had experienced Wei Fengxing's ambush, but he did not expect the situation to be so bad. On the side of the Righteous Dao Alliance, three Immortal Cultivators at the Late Void Return Stage, and Master Xin Jing, who was at the Peak Void Return Stage, had died!
"Angry man, are they really dead?"
Gu Zheng really hoped that the angry man was joking with him. Even if he had a grudge with Huang Feilong, he did not want him to die here from the bottom of his heart, not to mention Master Xin Jing, who had always been on good terms with him, was among them.
"Yes!"
The angry man sighed, and then said, "Huang Feilong was killed by Mo Xin, Liu Yunzi and Dong Xuzi were killed by Corpse Demon Ancestor, and Master Xin Jing was killed by Blood Soul! After killing these people, those people from the Devil Dao went into the depths of the forbidden zone. "
"How many people from the Demonic Dao Alliance died?" Gu Zheng asked again.
"Apart from Wei Fengxing, who was killed by Master, the Demonic Dao Alliance also lost two Late Void Return Stage cultivators. One of them was a subordinate of Blood Soul, and the other was a subordinate of Corpse Demon Ancestor," the angry man said.
Gu Zheng did not ask any more questions. Since he could not use his Divine Perception to investigate, he quickly found the angry man based on his senses.
"Fellow Daoist Chen!"
Gu Zheng frowned slightly. The person sitting beside the angry man was actually Chen Yue.
"Fellow Daoist Gu!"
Chen Yue opened his eyes and looked at Gu Zheng, smiling bitterly.
Gu Zheng originally thought that the person the angry man saved was heavily injured by the Demonic Dao Alliance, but he did not expect that Chen Yue was not injured by anyone, but that the evil aura in his body was too serious.
"What's going on?"
Gu Zheng was a little puzzled. Chen Yue was at the Late Void Return Stage. Logically speaking, the evil aura should not have entered his body in this shallow sea region. Even if the evil aura had entered his body, it should not have reached this extent!
"The evil aura of the Hungry Ghost Festival is too strange. I didn't notice it before. The evil aura actually restrained my cultivation method. As soon as I used the Immortal Technique, it seemed to form a suction force, and it entered my body."
Chen Yue's weak voice paused, and then he smiled bitterly. "It's all thanks to your servant who saved me. Otherwise, I would have been eaten by those sea monsters. If that happened, I would have died with grievances. It's really too cowardly!"
Chen Yue's voice paused again, and he said rather weakly, "Fellow Daoist Gu, quickly check my body and see if I can be saved!"
Gu Zheng had already told the Alliance of the Righteous Dao that the Dragon Blood Crystal could dispel the evil aura, so Chen Yue had been anxiously waiting for Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng nodded and immediately entered Chen Yue's body with his Divine Perception.
There was a lot of evil aura in Chen Yue's body, and a large part of it was controlled by his Immortal Power. However, the amount he could control was only equivalent to two-thirds of the total amount of evil aura! The remaining one-third was still swimming in his body, and it had already caused a certain degree of damage to his body! If he allowed the evil aura to continue swimming, he would either die or become a demon like Shangguan Feng's nephew.
"How is it?"
Feeling Gu Zheng's Divine Perception leave his body, Chen Yue hurriedly asked.
"The situation is not as bad as you think. I'll treat you now, and then you can take a portion of the Food Cultivation. You'll be fine soon."
Hearing Gu Zheng's words, Chen Yue nodded happily. Although he did not say thank you, his eyes were full of gratitude.
Gu Zheng placed his hand on Chen Yue's body, and then with a thought, the Dragon Blood Crystal embedded in the Fire Avoidance Crown immediately emitted a light that enveloped Chen Yue.
With the combination of Immortal Power and the light of the Dragon Blood Crystal, Gu Zheng used less than a minute to remove the evil aura in Chen Yue's body.
"You can take the Food Cultivation now."
Gu Zheng's hand left Chen Yue's shoulder, and Chen Yue immediately took out a high-grade Herbalism Cultivation and took it.
For the battle of the Hungry Ghost Festival, Gu Zheng made a lot of Herbalism Cultivation free of charge for everyone. Almost everyone had two portions. The high-grade Herbalism Cultivation was even better than the relatively precious Immortal Body Elixir.
"Fellow Daoist Gu, I'm afraid I can't stay here anymore. I can't do anything here at all!" Chen Yue said.
"After you absorb the medicinal effect, immediately return to the surface of the sea. It's the same if you can help there."
Gu Zheng really didn't dare to imagine the current situation on the surface of the sea. In just a short while, so many Void Return cultivators had already died in the sea. He reckoned that the situation on the surface of the sea would not be any better.
Seeing that Gu Zheng was about to leave, Chen Yue said, "Fellow Daoist Gu, I hope that both of us can survive this disaster. If we're still alive, I'll join the Emei Sect!"
Chen Yue was a righteous person. Gu Zheng had once thrown an olive branch to him in the Extremely Fragrant House, but he was rejected at that time.
Today, Chen Yue was first saved by the angry man, and then by Gu Zheng. He took the initiative to join the Emei Sect, not only to repay the kindness, but also because after Gu Zheng threw an olive branch to him, he paid more attention to Gu Zheng and the Emei Sect. After this period of observation and contact, Chen Yue felt that it would be a good choice for him to join the Emei Sect.
Gu Zheng nodded to Chen Yue, then looked at the angry man and said, "You take care of Fellow Daoist Chen here first. When he recovers from his injuries, immediately join me."
After instructing the angry man, Gu Zheng, who was about to dive, suddenly stopped. He moved his mind and said to the angry man, "Before joining me, try to see if you can find * * *. If you find him, come to me with him!"
Gu Zheng dived into the depths of the sea, and the voice of the weapon spirit sounded in his mind.
"Chen Yue's matter has more or less delayed your time. Aren't you afraid that the evil source will be refined?" The weapon spirit asked.
"If it can be done earlier, it can be done earlier. If it can't be done earlier, then it's fine. After all, going there earlier isn't necessarily a good thing. Although we don't know much about the evil source, refining it definitely won't be an easy task. Moreover, Corpse Demon Ancestor and Blood Soul aren't partners. If the righteous path really doesn't care about them, they'll have to fight first to decide who the evil source will belong to. "
Gu Zheng paused, then continued, "Moreover, is the core of the forbidden zone really safe? I don't think so! And I have a faint feeling that Boundless Sea brought back Red Hair's severed limb from the core of the forbidden zone, but where did Red Hair's head go? I think it's very likely that it's still in the core of the forbidden zone. Red Hair's severed limb in the Heavenly Conch Cave had such power. As an important part of the body's structure, how powerful would it be? It wouldn't be strange if it could make a cultivator at the peak of Void Return suffer! "
Gu Zheng's diving speed was very fast. Before he knew it, he was already eight hundred meters below the surface of the sea. He could already see a huge light formation slowly rotating below his feet.
"Eight hundred meters before I see the immortal formation. How deep is it before we reach the true forbidden zone?" Gu Zheng looked at the immortal formation and asked.
"I didn't think it would be so deep."
The weapon spirit frowned slightly, then said, "The immortal formation's shape is oval. This is related to what it's sealing. Perhaps the true entrance will be in an ocean trench."
"Ocean trench!"
Gu Zheng was slightly shocked. Although he was already a late stage Void Return cultivator, his body's strength was no longer afraid of the pressure of the deep sea in the eyes of mortals. However, an ocean trench could be as deep as a thousand meters, ten thousand meters. He really didn't know how deep the ocean trench under the immortal formation was!
"Go, go through the immortal formation through the loophole!"
The weapon spirit said and pointed out the path to Gu Zheng.
The so-called loophole in the immortal formation wasn't a hole in the immortal formation. Instead, it was a period of time in its cycle where it was easiest for people to pass through.
Gu Zheng also learned another thing from Mo Xiang, and that was that the loophole in the immortal formation would last for two days. This period of time was calculated from the start of the blood tide phenomenon. In other words, if Gu Zheng passed through the immortal formation now, he would have to leave through the immortal formation on the evening of the day after tomorrow. Otherwise, according to Mo Xiang, even if Daluo Jinxian stayed below, he would undoubtedly die.
Following the path pointed out by the weapon spirit, Gu Zheng passed through the immortal formation and continued diving.
From the moment Gu Zheng passed through the immortal formation, he had already discovered that the evil aura's strength had increased once again.
There were all kinds of strange creatures in the sea. These creatures were all invaded by the evil aura. They either drifted aimlessly or charged fiercely at Gu Zheng. These mutated creatures could be a crab, a lobster, or an eel.
In the face of the attacking demonic creatures, Gu Zheng casually waved his hand and got rid of them.
However, the atmosphere in the deep sea was strange and oppressive. If one didn't listen carefully, the surroundings would be so quiet that it would make one feel stifled. If one listened carefully, they would be able to hear the sounds of the mutated creatures as they swam! The thousands of tiny sounds intertwined and made one feel as if there was a hive of bees living in one's head.
The weapon spirit's guess was right. The real forbidden area was indeed in a trench.
At this moment, three people stood at the edge of the trench. They were the Blood Soul and his subordinates, Old Demon Scarlet Eye and Smiling Evil Monk.
After two Demon Buster Operations, there weren't many cultivators left in the Demon Sect. Those who weren't strong enough stayed on the surface of the sea. There were a total of four cultivators who had reached the Void Return Realm who followed the Blood Soul.
Wei Fengxing had been killed by Gu Zheng. Old Demon Scarlet Eye and Smiling Evil Monk were by the Blood Soul's side. As for the remaining person, he was the same as Wei Fengxing. He had also wanted to sneak attack the people trapped in the formation. In the end, he was killed by the people trapped in the formation.
The Blood Soul didn't enter the trench immediately. He was waiting for someone, and the person he was waiting for was Corpse Devil Ancestor's group.
Not long after, Corpse Devil Ancestor's group came over from afar.
There were only five people left by Corpse Devil Ancestor's side. They were Devil Heart, Storm Daoist, Poison Meiji, Bloodthirsty Butcher, and Daoist Sirius.
"I didn't expect you to not enter the trench yet!"
Corpse Devil Ancestor smiled as he approached. However, his smile was a little like a cautious fox.
"If we weren't waiting for you, we would have already entered." The Blood Soul sighed.
"Waiting for us? Would you be so kind? "
The Blood Soul Elder sneered, obviously not believing the Blood Soul's words.
