Time passed unknowingly. The core of the forbidden zone, which covered a large area, was finally visited by Tang Mo. This took Gu Zheng half a day.
After devouring all the evil aura in the core of the forbidden zone, Tang Mo's recovery rate finally exceeded 50% of the Chaos Restoration.
"How is it?"
Seeing that Gu Zheng had kept Tang Mo, the Weapon Spirit couldn't help but ask.
"After completing 50% of the Chaos Restoration, Tang Mo activated the Divine Power, which is still related to the Divine Power of the Devourer. It turned the original three times strength into five times strength! Other than that, what we want to know the most is what is needed to restore it, but we still have no clue. "
Gu Zheng was a little helpless. Although he had inherited the Divine Power of the Devourer, which was indeed powerful enough, he still didn't know what was needed to restore Tang Mo. This was undoubtedly a very depressing matter.
"Alright, don't be depressed! If you had inherited the Divine Power of the Devourer, it would have been difficult for you to deal with an existence like the Blood Soul. Now that you have the Divine Power of the Devourer, I guarantee that you can easily destroy it! After all, this Divine Power of the Devourer is already a qualitative change, "the Weapon Spirit said.
"Now that the evil aura is almost gone, let's leave after I destroy the stone room!" Gu Zheng said.
"How do you want to destroy the stone room?" the Weapon Spirit asked.
"How else can I destroy it? According to the original plan, I will destroy it with brute force!" Gu Zheng said.
"Before I saw the high platform, I thought that destroying the stone room would be enough. However, after seeing the high platform that nurtured the evil source, I realized that destroying the high platform and the stone room wouldn't be enough to truly destroy the evil source. It could still accumulate over time and continuously regenerate.
"Then how do we break it?" Gu Zheng frowned and asked.
"This evil source wasn't nurtured by the high platform. The thing that nurtured it was an evil vein. If we want to end this once and for all, we have to find the evil vein and destroy it! Come, go to the high platform now. I will tell you how to find the evil source! "the Weapon Spirit said.
Gu Zheng once again came to the location of the high platform. Because the high platform had already been destroyed, there was still some foundation left on the ground.
Gu Zheng hadn't noticed it before, but now that the Artifact Spirit had mentioned the existence of an evil vein, he took a closer look. Then, he discovered that inside the foundation, there were faint veins that looked like blood vessels.
According to the Artifact Spirit, after the stone platform was destroyed by Gu Zheng, the Evil Vein's meridians on the stone platform quickly dried up.
"Rumble …"
Gu Zheng pulled out a three-meter-long section of the foundation of the stone platform. Sure enough, he found the evil vein that hadn't dried up in time.
The evil Qi sent into the stone platform by the evil vein was different from the thin strands of evil Qi. This kind of evil Qi was in the form of a greyish white liquid, and was not as terrifying and invasive as the thin strands of evil Qi.
Gu Zheng waved his hand, and the surrounding seawater created a waterless space for him.
He set up an immortal array on the ground. Gu Zheng dripped the greyish white evil Qi from the evil vein into the immortal array, and then activated the immortal array.
As the immortal array flashed, a picture appeared in Gu Zheng's mind. It was the map of the underground evil vein.
"So huge!"
Like a spider web, the evil vein was constantly intertwined, and finally pointed to the bottom of the trench.
Without staying in the stone chamber, Gu Zheng came to the trench, found the location of the evil vein's source on the ground, and immediately began to dive.
Gu Zheng's Earth Control Art had reached the advanced level, and there was not much difference between walking in the earth and walking in the sea. The only difference was that whether it was in the sea or in the earth, he had not yet comprehended the corresponding escape technique. Otherwise, his speed would be faster.
Gu Zheng was constantly sinking, and the earth around him was always one step faster than him, making a path for him.
Finally, Gu Zheng's sinking stopped, and his feet landed on the rock layer.
Among the five elements, rock belonged to the metal element. Gu Zheng's Metal Control Art was still at the intermediate level, and could not penetrate the rock.
With a thought, Tang Mo slashed heavily on the rock layer.
The rock layer cracked under Tang Mo's slash, and a white light shone from within.
Below was a cave in the ground. The space was as big as a house, and there was an evil vein in the shape of a dragon.
"The evil vein has indeed taken shape. No wonder it could nurture such a powerful evil source, and it could nurture such a thing as the red-haired giant."
As soon as the weapon spirit finished speaking, two triangular openings suddenly appeared on the dragon head of the evil vein, and blood-red light shot out from them.
"Oh, it has already developed intelligence!" the weapon spirit laughed.
Almost as if following the weapon spirit's laughter, the liquid evil vein on the ground suddenly flew up and turned into a greyish white dragon. It opened its mouth and shot a water arrow at Gu Zheng.
The space around them tightened as the water arrow flew out. It was a simple water arrow, but it was powerful enough to kill a cultivator of the Return to Void Intermediate Stage. However, Gu Zheng was not an ordinary mid-Void-return cultivator. Moreover, he had Tang Mo in his hands! Regardless of whether it was the Evil Bloodline or the attacks it launched, Tang Mo showed a strong desire for them.
Gu Zheng stabbed Tang Mo into the crevice. Tang Mo's sudden burst of black light enveloped the greyish white water arrow, and then Gu Zheng jumped into the crevice.
"Roar!"
The strange dragon let out an angry roar, and it opened its mouth to spit out a drizzle of evil energy at Gu Zheng.
Although the evil energy in the evil vein was not as fierce as the evil energy in the evil source, that was not necessarily the case. Just take the drizzle that the strange dragon spat out as an example, it was more powerful than the evil energy in the evil source! At the very least, under its assault, Gu Zheng's external defense actually produced sounds like hailstones continuously smashing against glass.
Gu Zheng did not care about the evil energy that was attacking his external defense. Although it was quite powerful, Gu Zheng was confident that he would have killed the strange dragon by the time it broke through his defense. Because the pressure that the strange dragon brought to him was not as strong as the pressure that the red-haired head brought to him.
The saber light flashed again and again, and the strange dragon kept letting out strange cries. Every time Tang Mo's saber hit its body, it would take the opportunity to devour it. It felt like it was being bitten.
"Weapon Spirit, although this strange dragon has a spirit, why is its real combat power not as strong as the red-haired head?" Gu Zheng asked curiously.
"Although it is the source, it did not give birth to the red-haired giant earlier than the evil source, so it is not as powerful as the red-haired head. However, if it is allowed to grow, it will definitely be more powerful than the red-haired giant. After all, even if the red-haired giant grows up, it will still be a Barbarian Soldier. This dragon is different. It has a good spiritual intelligence when it was still weak, "the Weapon Spirit said.
"Roar!"
An unprecedented scream was heard. Gu Zheng stabbed Tang Mo into the eyes of the strange dragon. The strange dragon was grayish-white all over, except for a pair of red eyes, which was also its weak point.
After being stabbed in the eyes by Tang Mo, the strange dragon's body twitched violently as it rolled around. It could no longer break free from Tang Mo's devouring.
Before he came to look for the evil vein, Tang Mo's Chaos Restoration was already 45% complete. According to Gu Zheng's current estimation, Tang Mo's restoration should be 65% complete after he absorbed all the evil vein in front of him.
"The evil vein is really an unexpected gain. Originally, after Tang Mo devoured the evil energy, the restoration was only 45% complete! At that time, I was still thinking about how long it would take for it to be 50% complete. I didn't expect there to be such a thing as the evil vein. "Gu Zheng sighed.
"This can also be considered as your opportunity! After all, not all evil lands have this kind of evil vein. "The Weapon Spirit smiled.
After a while, a black light appeared on Tang Mo. Its Chaos Restoration was finally 50% complete. Suddenly, an image appeared in Gu Zheng's mind.
"Weapon Spirit, Tang Mo didn't obtain any new divine ability."
This time, without waiting for the Weapon Spirit to ask, Gu Zheng took the initiative to tell it.
"Ah? Nothing? "The Weapon Spirit widened its eyes.
"Not really! When its restoration was 50% complete, an image appeared in my mind, and a bit of understanding. And I think that image is where it wants to go. There should be something it needs there. "
Gu Zheng's mind moved, and the image in his mind was immediately seen by the Weapon Spirit.
"I don't know where this place is, but it can't be Earth."
After seeing the image in Gu Zheng's mind, the Weapon Spirit shook its head. There was no such landscape on Earth.
"Maybe it's the Primordial World?" Gu Zheng said.
"That's possible, but it could also be other planets around the Primordial World.
The Artifact Spirit paused for a moment before asking, "What is that little bit of understanding you have?"
Gu Zheng smiled bitterly. "My understanding is that if Tang Mo can't find what it needs, then even if there is enough evil energy, its Chaos Restoration will stop at 99%."
"Alright!"
The Weapon Spirit smiled helplessly.
Gu Zheng and the Weapon Spirit were looking forward to Tang Mo's growth. They were all looking forward to Tang Mo becoming a real Chaos Immortal Artifact. But no one thought that there would be such a hurdle in Tang Mo's restoration process.
"Forget it, let's not care about it. It will naturally encounter what it needs if fate wills it. It's useless to think about it now."
Gu Zheng shrugged, then looked at the Weapon Spirit and said, "What about my reward?"
The reward Gu Zheng was talking about was naturally the reward for completing the active mission.
"In the past, after completing the mission, you were always busy asking about the reward. This time, you didn't ask about it. I thought you forgot!" The Weapon Spirit laughed.
"How is that possible?" Gu Zheng also laughed.
"Because of your current realm, the reward for the active mission will be set by me according to your current situation," the Weapon Spirit said.
"That's good!"
Gu Zheng was very happy. After all, the reward set by Gokusen was fixed, but the reward given by the Weapon Spirit was relatively more useful.
"Reward: 200 Medium-level Immortal Essence Elixirs."
"Reward: Divine Fruit Cultivation."
"Reward: Several ingredients."
The Weapon Spirit's award was over, but Gu Zheng was still in a daze.
"What's wrong?" the Weapon Spirit asked.
"That's it?"
Gu Zheng could not believe it. In the past, the missions were always rewarded with a lot of things.
"That's it."
The Weapon Spirit laughed and then said, "Originally, the reward would be a lot of things, but for those things that are not very useful to you, or are not very useful to you at the moment, I have already changed them, so the reward is less. But! Although the reward is less, the quality has definitely improved. After all, there is a new food cultivation method in the reward this time. "
Gu Zheng nodded and then checked the Chaotic Space.
There was nothing much to say about the Medium-level Immortal Essence Elixirs. Gu Zheng had accumulated hundreds of them that could be used to cook Immortal Essence Elixirs.
"Good, that's great!"
Gu Zheng, who had learned the Divine Fruit Cultivation, could not help but exclaim.
"How is it good?"
The Weapon Spirit laughed, a little proud.
"It's a good way to send charcoal in snowy weather!" Gu Zheng laughed.
In Gu Zheng's eyes, a peach of immortality was a high-grade ingredient, and a dragon horn was also a high-grade ingredient, but they were not Heaven and Earth Treasures! Therefore, they could not give Gu Zheng a special feeling like the Immortal Essence Fruit, the Queen Ant of the Mutated Colorful Flying Ants, and the Hunyuan Immortal Fruit.
Before learning the Divine Fruit Cultivation, in Gu Zheng's eyes, Heaven and Earth Treasures were just ingredients that corresponded to the level of ingredients. However, after learning the Divine Fruit Cultivation, Gu Zheng realized that it was a waste of Heaven and Earth Treasures to cook as ordinary ingredients. The Divine Fruit Cultivation was a kind of food cultivation method that specialized in cooking Heaven and Earth Treasures.
"Weapon Spirit, why is the peach of immortality not a Heaven and Earth Treasure?" Gu Zheng asked curiously.
"The peach of immortality is a Heaven and Earth Treasure, but the reward for you today is not. The so-called Heaven and Earth Treasures must be born naturally and cannot be interfered with by humans. The peach of immortality that is being rewarded to you today was born a long, long time ago by Lord Gokusen, "the Weapon Spirit said.
"There is actually such a drawback of hastening?"
Gu Zheng's eyes widened. Until today, he knew that hastening could not only speed up the ripening of ingredients, but also improve their quality. He did not know that hastening had such a drawback.
"This is not a big drawback. It can only be said that the formation of Heaven and Earth Treasures among ingredients is more stringent. You will be fine if you hasten ordinary ingredients, even if they are of a higher level.
"However, it does not mean that hastening Heaven and Earth Treasures will necessarily have such a drawback! As I said, the peach of immortality that is being rewarded to you today was born a long, long time ago by Lord Gokusen. At that time, Lord Gokusen was similar to you now. He had just advanced the Wood-Controlling Spell and the Earth-Controlling Spell and did not have a deeper understanding of them, so there is such a drawback.
"When you have a deeper understanding of the Wood-Controlling Spell and the Earth-Controlling Spell, you will not only be able to hasten Heaven and Earth Treasures without any drawbacks, but you will also be given a task at that time!"
The Device Spirit said a lot, but none of it was difficult to understand.
Seeing that Gu Zheng did not speak and seemed to be thinking about something, the Device Spirit said with a smile, "Do you feel like you have opened another window?"
"Yes."
Gu Zheng told the truth. Some of the things that the Holy Fruit Cultivation brought to him were indeed like opening a window, allowing him to see a trace of a deeper level of Dao.
After all, before this, Gu Zheng's understanding of heavenly resources was rather blurry. He did not know that they had a special cooking method, nor did he know that they could be cooked in a special way. The effects would be extremely exaggerated after they were cooked.
As for the ingredients in the reward, they were actually the rewards given by the Device Spirit for the Holy Fruit Cultivation this time. Although the grades of these ingredients were both good and medium, they were all ingredients that Gu Zheng did not have. Gu Zheng had never seen the food characteristics that they had.
"Without a deeper level of Dao, even if the Chaos Element Immortal Fruit and these ingredients were placed in front of me, the best cooking method I could think of would still be the Immortal Fruit Cultivation!" Gu Zheng lamented.
"Otherwise, how could the Lord Gokusen be the Lord Gokusen?" the Device Spirit said proudly.
At this time, Tang Mo finally finished devouring the strange dragon formed by the evil vein. Its Chaos Restoration Rate had reached 55%.
Not all of the evil veins in this space had turned into that strange dragon. In the dragon-shaped veins on the ground, there was still some gray and white liquid evil Qi. This was also the reason why Gu Zheng estimated that after completely devouring the evil veins, Tang Mo's current recovery rate could reach 65%. After all, there was still a lot of evil Qi on the ground.
Gu Zheng thought and Tang Mo inserted itself into the vein on the ground to continue its devouring journey.
However, as Tang Mo continued to devour, the temperature in the space, which was not high to begin with, dropped.
"Eh? There's something in this evil vein! "
Gu Zheng looked curiously at a stone that had appeared in the dragon-shaped vein as Tang Mo continued to devour.
"Let's take it out and see. It might be something good!"
As soon as the Device Spirit finished speaking, Gu Zheng waved his hand and the thing in the dragon-shaped vein immediately flew out.
It was a strange stone with a rough and bumpy appearance and was roughly spherical in shape. It exuded an icy aura and when it was shaken, it would make a sound as if there was a pool of water inside.
"What is this?"
Gu Zheng tried to use his Divine Will to probe it, but it could not penetrate the outer layer of the stone ball.
"Divine Will cannot penetrate it, and there is such an extreme cold energy. Moreover, there seems to be water in it. This should be the Polar Ice Lava," the Device Spirit said.
"What is the Polar Ice Lava?" Gu Zheng asked.
"It is a resource that can be used to brew immortal wine. However, if you take it out, you will find that it is more suitable for other uses!" the Device Spirit said.
"Okay, then I will break this stone ball first!"
"Don't do it first!"
Gu Zheng was about to break the stone ball but was stopped by the Device Spirit. "The outer layer of the Polar Ice Lava is good stuff. It can be used to refine weapons! If you don't know how to break it, this precious refining material will be destroyed. Anyway, after leaving Blood Tide Island, you will have to return to Foggy Wind Island. At that time, you can give it to Lian Yuxin and let her help you extract the Polar Ice Lava, "the Device Spirit said.
In the end, Tang Mo devoured all the evil vein on the ground. As expected by Gu Zheng, its Chaos Restoration reached 65%.
According to the Artifact Spirit, the place where the Evil Vein was born must also be destroyed. When Gu Zheng left, the original underground space had already been destroyed by him to the point that it no longer existed.
Without staying in the sea for long, Gu Zheng returned to the surface to check on the situation at Blood Tide Island.
