"A cultivator who can set up an 'impregnable fortress' must be at least at the level of a Golden Immortal of the Great All-Embracing Heaven. It's very rare for such a Celestial Formation to appear on a low-level plane like Earth!
The Device Spirit only said that it was rare, but did not say that it was impossible. There was a reason for this.
Cultivators often talked about the Flourishing Era, but in fact, the Flourishing Era was just a general period to distinguish the Age of Chaos from the Age of Chaos. During that period, Earth was full of Celestial Core Power, which was very suitable for the development of cultivators. However, there was another era before the Flourishing Era. Cultivators in that era were usually more vigorous, and that era was called the Age of Gods.
After the Age of Gods, there would not be any more powerful cultivators on Earth, because once they advanced to the level of Jin Xian, they would have to ascend to the Untainted Land.
"What do you think the immortal formation set up by Daluo Jinxian is trying to seal? Could it be the source of evil again? "
Gu Zheng had just experienced the Blood Tide Island incident, so the first thing that came to his mind was the Blood Tide Forbidden Area.
"If it's really sealing an evil source, then it's your great opportunity. After all, Tang Mo needs energy like an evil source to advance to the next level."
The Device Spirit smiled, and then said, "But I feel that it's not an evil source that's sealed. With Daluo Jinxian's strength, there's almost no evil source that they can't destroy. So I feel that the thing sealed by the 'Impregnable Fortress' might be a treasure related to inheritance or something! "
"A treasure is not bad either! Now that we know the location, we can immediately set off to search for the treasure. "Gu Zheng said excitedly.
"Don't be happy too early!"
The Device Spirit poured cold water on Gu Zheng. "The immortal formation is now on the verge of collapse. This is an extremely unstable period. Even with my understanding of the Way of Formations, I can't find an absolutely safe way to break the formation. As for the 'Impregnable Fortress' immortal array, if something goes wrong during this period, nothing within a few hundred kilometers will be spared! "
The artifact spirit paused for a moment and then continued, "Moreover, in a sense, you don't have any advantage at all. Two days before the collapse of the 'Impregnable Fortress', there will definitely be a great fluctuation. For cultivators, this fluctuation is similar to the fluctuation of a rare treasure. At that time, it will definitely be a scene where cultivators gather! Perhaps this is the result that the person who set up the Immortal Formation wanted! "
"Since that's the case, let's see how it goes."
Gu Zheng smiled, his eyes filled with fighting spirit.
Then, Gu Zheng called for a high-level meeting and informed everyone about the news of the 'impregnable fortress'.
After listening to what Gu Zheng said, all the higher-ups were very excited. They all wanted to try it when the time came.
However, there couldn't be no one guarding the mountain in the sect. Moreover, there were more cultivators coming out of the Untainted Land recently. If their cultivation was too low, it would be useless to go there.
In the end, it was decided that the current Grand Elders of the Emei Sect, Wuyou, Wuchou, Linghu Fei, and Du Wei would stay in the sect. The others would all go there when the time came.
After the meeting with the high-level meeting, Gu Zheng immediately notified Kunlun, Mount Shu, Buddhism, and other sects. Anyway, this was something that couldn't be hidden. It was good to do them a favor.
After notifying several righteous sects, Gu Zheng went to Foggy Wind Island and Green Peach Island. He brought Lian Yuxin and Miaomiao, who had been tired of staying on the island for a long time.
In fact, Gu Zheng didn't want to take Lian Yuxin and Miaomiao with him. It was good to leave them to guard the island. However, he had promised the two girls before that he would take them with him when he went out to do things again. It was fine if he didn't take them with him when he went to the secular world to save the people. However, this time, he was going to see a rare thing. If he didn't take them with him, it would be a bit unreasonable.
With the mighty team of Grand Elders, Gu Zheng and the others temporarily stayed on Green Peach Island, waiting for the collapse of the 'impregnable fortress'.
Just as the Spirit said in advance, with the collapse of the 'impregnable fortress', the fluctuations from the sea, which were similar to the birth of a strange treasure, became more and more intense. It alarmed many cultivators who didn't know about this matter.
Cultivators were just a general term for special people whose strength had reached a certain level. However, the 'impregnable fortress' had caused such a big commotion. There were all kinds of people who came over, including many magicians that Gu Zheng had met before when he was abroad! After all, in the eyes of cultivators, this area of the sea was considered the high seas. Therefore, they swaggered over.
Surrounding the 'Impregnable Fortress' sea region, a huge area was bustling with noise and excitement. Some of the cultivators were alone in the void, while others were in groups of three to five. Among them were the cultivators from the Alliance of the Righteous Dao. They had a yacht, and twenty to thirty cultivators were on the deck of the yacht, drinking wine and playing chess. There were even some who were fishing.
Gu Zheng didn't join in the fun and stayed on the yacht. In any case, Green Peach Island wasn't far from where the 'impregnable fortress' was. It would take less than a minute to fly there. At this time, he was on the beach of Green Peach Island, leisurely drinking immortal wine and eating barbecue with the Grand Elders of the sect.
"Mister, do you think the demonic cultivators will join forces? After all, they have a lot of people! "
Miaomiao asked in a muffled voice while eating barbecue.
"Even if they join forces, they won't start a conflict with the Righteous Sects. Right now, we're not sure what's sealed under the 'impregnable fortress'!" Gu Zheng said.
"Mister, then the Alliance of Righteous Sects' request, will they just accept it?"
The Alliance of Righteous Sects' request could be considered as a temporary agreement with the demonic cultivators. That was, if there was a treasure under the 'impregnable fortress', the Righteous Sects would enter first. The demonic cultivators also agreed to this. As for those who belonged to the Western Sects, because they had fewer people than the Alliance of Righteous Sects and the demonic cultivators, they didn't take the initiative to make any requests, and no one said anything to them.
"So what if they don't accept it? Start a war with the Righteous Sects over something uncertain? That's obviously not worth it! Moreover, the demonic cultivators are scattered sand. They're not as cohesive as the Alliance of Righteous Sects. Even if some of them aren't convinced, they can only accept it. Moreover, treasure hunting is a matter of chance. It's not as if going in first is a guarantee of obtaining benefits. Moreover, going in first also means that they'll be the first to encounter all kinds of dangerous situations, such as formations, restrictions, and the like. "Gu Zheng said.
"Alright, it seems there's no way to fight."
Meow Meow felt a little regretful. She really wanted the demonic cultivators to cause trouble, and then have a big fight with the Alliance of Righteous Sects. She would also be able to take advantage of this opportunity to display her skills. Last time, Gu Zheng didn't bring her to Blood Tide Island, which made her feel somewhat stifled.
"Don't be anxious. If there's a treasure below, you'll have the time to make a move." Gu Zheng said with a smile.
Two more days passed, and the 'impregnable fortress' became even more unstable. The strange phenomenon was no longer just a kind of fluctuation, but also appeared on the surface.
Under the water, a huge light formation was faintly discernible. On the surface of the sea where the light formation was located, there was a scene of turbulent waves. As for the area outside the light formation, it looked calm and without waves.
Everyone understood that the 'impregnable fortress' would completely collapse today, because the fluctuation it emitted was already very strong, to the point that everyone had a feeling that some kind of huge monster was about to come out from below.
As time passed, the light formation under the water was no longer faintly discernible, but became clearly visible. An intense light was being emitted from it, as if it was the final radiance of the setting sun.
As for the surface of the sea, the originally turbulent waves had turned into raging waves. With a loud bang, the light formation completely shattered.
"Heavens!"
"It's so big!"
As the light formation shattered, the thing hidden under it was immediately seen by everyone, causing them to cry out in alarm.
Originally, the light formation was already big enough, so everyone thought that the thing hidden under it would at most be the same size as the light formation. Who would have thought that the thing hidden under it was who knew how many times bigger than the light formation! So much so that when it was about to rise to the surface, the yacht of the Alliance of Righteous Sects, which was originally very far away from the light formation, was overturned by the raging waves.
The thing hidden under the light formation was actually an island. It had already floated out of the water and was rapidly flying into the sky.
Gu Zheng's position was high up in the sky, which allowed him to see the whole picture of the island immediately.
Blood Tide Island was already big enough, but this island that emerged from the sea was at least ten times the size of Blood Tide Island. There were mountains and mountains on it, and there was also a dazzling group of buildings that looked like an imperial city.
"Heavens! Such an island, what kind of treasure is on it?! "
"Fight, this time no matter what, we have to fight!"
"Let me tell you, no one can stop me. If an immortal blocks me, I'll kill an immortal. If a devil blocks me, I'll kill a devil!"
Everyone was very excited, but no one was able to be the first to land on the island, because the island was still surrounded by a layer of light. They could only enter when the light barrier shattered.
"Bang!"
They didn't have to wait for too long. The light barrier made a sound and shattered.
The previous agreement was naturally invalid in such an environment. Whether it was the immortal cultivators, devil cultivators, or the group of people from the West, all of them fought to be the first to fly towards the island.
"There's an immortal formation on the island!"
As soon as they were within a certain range, the weapon spirit gave a warning.
In fact, even without the weapon spirit's warning, Gu Zheng had already felt the existence of the immortal formation. But now, even if he knew that there were tigers on the mountain, he still had to go because he could sense that there was no safe zone at the edge of the island that was not within the range of the immortal formation.
The light in front of them suddenly dimmed, and then lit up again in an instant. The scene in front of them turned into a stone forest, with craggy stone pillars everywhere.
"Where are they?" Meow Meow was the first to speak.
The people of Emei Sect stayed together, and there wasn't much difference in the time they entered the immortal formation. But now, the only people in front of Meow Meow were Gu Zheng and Lian Yuxin.
"The immortal formation here is very responsible. Even if we came in at the same time, we might not be able to stay in the same immortal formation. The three of us are considered lucky to be together!" Gu Zheng said.
"Mister, what do we do now?" Meow Meow asked.
"What else can we do? Of course, we have to break the formation and get out."
Gu Zheng looked at Lian Yuxin beside him. She had the immortal weapon to break the formation, so naturally, she didn't need to spend too much effort. If the immortal weapon couldn't handle it, it wouldn't be too late for the weapon spirit to step in.
Lian Yuxin took out the bead-like Formation Breaking Immortal Artifact. With a thought, the Formation Breaking Immortal Artifact began to dance in the formation.
A moment later, through the immortal weapon, Lian Yuxin already knew how to break the immortal formation.
"This is a simple trap formation. Everyone, follow me."
Lian Yuxin took the lead, and Gu Zheng and Meow Meow followed her. The three of them shuttled back and forth in the stone forest. Suddenly, the scene in front of them darkened, and when it became bright again, the three of them had already left the immortal formation.
The scene in front of them was the outermost beach of the island, and in front of them was a forest. It looked no different from the layout of a normal island.
However, not far in front of them, on the sand, was a meter long and half a meter tall golden chest that was emitting a resplendent light.
When Gu Zheng and the others saw the golden chest, a spatial fluctuation came from the side. Two western magi in cloaks also walked out of the immortal formation that one had to pass through to enter the island.
One of the magi had a red beard, the other had fair skin. After the two of them came out of the immortal formation, the red-bearded magus looked ahead, while the fair-skinned magus looked at Gu Zheng and the others.
"Treasure!"
The red-bearded magus shouted. The magic staff in his hand flashed, and his body disappeared in an instant. When he reappeared, he was already next to the golden chest.
The red-bearded magus waved his hand, and the golden chest on the ground disappeared. The fair-skinned magus suddenly threw a purple ball of light at Gu Zheng and the others.
Whoosh!
Tang Mo flashed with black light, and Gu Zheng slashed at the ball of light with a blade aura.
Bam!
The ball of light was not destroyed by the blade aura. It exploded with a loud bang, and then Gu Zheng and the others were surrounded by a purple light screen.
"Hmph."
The fair-skinned magus snorted coldly at Gu Zheng and the others. His eyes seemed to say that he was in a hurry to find the treasure, so he let Gu Zheng and the others go.
Bam!
Another loud sound rang out as the light barrier that had trapped Gu Zheng and the others was smashed apart by a huge fire dragon. Moreover, the fire dragon didn't lose any momentum as it flew towards the white-skinned mage.
"My god, what a powerful fire spell!"
The Fire Dragon Spell let the fair-skinned magus know that he had kicked a tough nut. So, while he hurriedly blocked the attack, he also thought of a way to escape.
"You're only equivalent to a mid-stage Void Return cultivator, and you dare to be so arrogant? See how I'll deal with you! "
Being ambushed as soon as they left the immortal formation, Meow Meow, who had been itching for a fight, finally found an opportunity. Like the wind, she circled around the fair-skinned magus, waving her little hands from time to time. Her sharp claws made the magus cry out in pain.
Meow Meow was dealing with the fair-skinned magus, while Lian Yuxin was dealing with the red-bearded magus.
The red-bearded magus was a bit stronger, equivalent to a late-stage Void Return cultivator. Moreover, he had a bit of understanding of the Dao of Space, so he could teleport short distances. So, he was a bit more difficult to deal with.
Normally, if Meow Meow and Lian Yuxin encountered such opponents, Gu Zheng would choose to watch and let them experience the battle. But now that they were in the middle of a treasure hunt, Gu Zheng didn't want to waste time on two small fries.
Whoosh whoosh!
Gu Zheng kicked out again and again, sending out one wind dragon after another.
"Instant spell!"
The two magi cried out. To them, Gu Zheng's wind dragons were like big moves, and such big moves usually required a bit of time to charge up. But now, the enemy didn't need to brew them at all. One wind dragon after another was enough to overwhelm them.
"Ah!"
The two magi screamed at almost the same time, then fell to the ground, their blood staining the yellow sand.
Gu Zheng's wind dragons were hard enough to deal with, and Meow Meow and Lian Yuxin were taking advantage of the situation to deal the finishing blow. Under such circumstances, it would be difficult for the two magi to survive even if they didn't want to.
After dealing with the two magi, Gu Zheng didn't just collect their wands, he also found a spatial pouch on each of their bodies.
Gu Zheng and the others didn't have time to look at what was in the spatial pouch. They immediately rushed forward.
"Damn it!"
Gu Zheng couldn't help but curse when he saw that they were approaching the forest. There were still immortal formations up ahead, the same situation they'd encountered when they'd landed on the island. There was simply no way to avoid them.
The light in front of them alternated between bright and dark, and the scene in front of Gu Zheng and the others turned into an indoor environment.
The room was made of stone. Gu Zheng and the others appeared at the center of the stone room. On the four walls of the stone room, there were six different Immortal Artifacts. At the four corners of the stone room, there were four stone statues with large arms and round waists.
"Wow! Twenty-four immortal artifacts. Sir, is this true? "Meow Meow looked at Gu Zheng.
"It should be true!"
Gu Zheng's heart also beat faster. Although ordinary low-grade immortal artifacts were no longer of much use to him at his current cultivation level. But in the outside world, a low-grade immortal artifact could still be exchanged for a lot of resources.
"Buzz …"
Lian Yuxin's immortal artifact flew up and made a sound like a bee flapping its wings. It was looking for a way to break the formation.
At the same time.
A strange sound of friction was heard, and the four stone sculptures in the corner suddenly came to life.
"They're really not ordinary stone sculptures. They're very rare refining products. They should have the ability to use immortal artifacts!" Lian Yuxin hurriedly reminded everyone.
While Lian Yuxin was speaking, the immortal artifacts on the wall suddenly flew toward the four puppets as if they were attracted by something.
"Whoosh! Whoosh!
Whoosh! Whoosh! "In the strange sound, two arms grew out of each puppet's back. Each of them had six arms, and each of them was holding the six immortal artifacts that were originally hanging on the wall.
"Watch out!"
Gu Zheng hurriedly warned. Immortal energy immediately burst out of his body, forming a huge light shield to protect the three of them.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!
Another round of bombardment began. The puppets madly unleashed their immortal artefact divine abilities to attack the barrier set up by Gu Zheng.
"Breaking the formation is to get rid of these puppets!"
The immortal artifact told Lian Yuxin the method to break the formation, and Lian Yuxin immediately said it.
"Get lost!"
Even though Gu Zheng's cultivation was strong, he was still unable to withstand the continuous bombardment of the puppets' immortal artifacts and divine abilities. With a loud roar, his body trembled. The immortal energy barrier that was originally protecting them instantly shrank and bounced back.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!
The immortal artifact's immortal artifact attacks were bounced back by the shield, and several puppets were immediately overturned. Gu Zheng, Meow Meow, and Lian Yuxin were like fierce tigers that had been released from their cages, attacking the puppets crazily.
Gu Zheng was fighting. As for the other members of the Emei Sect, they were trapped in different immortal formations and were also fighting.
