Another spirit appeared. It had a head and no face, but it was no longer white. Instead, it was green, which corresponded to the wood of the five elements.
"Great, I can feel the aura of 'life'!"
The Artifact Spirit cheered for what she saw. The 'life' she spoke of represented life, endless growth, and other special auras of wood.
The reason why the Artifact Spirit didn't feel the aura of desolation from the last Qi of Spiritual Wisdom wasn't because she couldn't feel it, but because she didn't think too deeply about it, so she didn't pay attention.
The Qi of Spiritual Wisdom with the wood attribute turned into a whirlwind and wrapped around Gu Zheng. However, it was still destroyed by Gu Zheng's Tang Mo.
As Gu Zheng expected, the jade pendant in the Plum Pavilion also contained the aura of Spiritual Wisdom. Its color was a mixture of gray and black. When Gu Zheng used Tang Mo to remove the impurities and preserve the essence, the pure black color emitted a cold aura.
There was only one bamboo pavilion left. Gu Zheng couldn't help but sigh. "It's a pity that I haven't refined my Natal True Gold. I can only carry this Jin Xian Jade Pendant with me for now."
"That's the only way. Hurry up and put away the jade pendant. I estimate that the island will shake again soon."
"Rumble!"
Along with the Artifact Spirit's voice, the entire island shook again, and the shaking was unprecedentedly intense.
"The island's collapse is accelerating again. You have to speed up!" the Artifact Spirit said.
Gu Zheng didn't dare to delay any longer. After putting away Jin Xian Jade Pendant, he immediately left the immortal formation.
The sight in front of him alternated between light and dark. Gu Zheng had already arrived at the center of the main hall.
The main hall was very large. Although Gu Zheng was in the center of the main hall, there was still a long way to go from the throne in the main hall. On the throne in the main hall, there was an unprecedented super treasure chest, at least four times the size of the previous big treasure chests.
Gu Zheng was not the only one in the hall. He saw the person on the jade peak fighting with a western cultivator, Xuan Qizi and Master Xing Dian fighting with three devil cultivators, and the white-haired old man killing a cultivator from the righteous dao alliance.
Gu Zheng understood that he could see these people, but these people could not see him. This was because they were in different immortal arrays. This was also the uniqueness of the immortal arrays on the island. One could see the inside of the array from outside, but the inside of the array could not see the outside.
Jade Peak Master and Xuan Qizi were on Gu Zheng's left and right sides respectively. Their distance from the treasure chest was the same as Gu Zheng's. As for the white-haired old man, he was the closest to the treasure chest!
According to Gu Zheng's speculation, he would need to go through another immortal array before he could reach the white-haired old man's current location. Then, he would need to go through another immortal array before he could reach the treasure chest. Inside the treasure chest, the fluctuations coming from the Primal Chaos Tower couldn't get any more intense.
"Artifact Spirit, do you think there's enough time for me to reach the super treasure chest?" Gu Zheng asked.
"According to the current situation, you only need to enter one or two more immortal arrays before you can reach the super treasure chest. Moreover, you're in the same position as the old man protecting you. Then, the next immortal array you go through is very likely to have nothing inside. The benefits have been taken by him, and the danger has also been resolved by him. "
As the Artifact Spirit spoke, Gu Zheng had already taken a step forward. The light in front of him alternated between bright and dark, and Gu Zheng appeared in a new immortal array.
The scene in the immortal array was like a desert. Inside, there were many scattered skeletons lying in a disorderly manner.
The white bones on the ground had a very strong and special fluctuation. This made Gu Zheng understand that before they were separated by someone, their strength was equivalent to an early-stage Void Return evil spirit!
"There are at least two hundred skeletons. Fortunately, the old man has Jin Xian's strength. Otherwise, I'm afraid he'll have a hard time."
Gu Zheng ran towards the 'Life Gate' of the immortal array. He was very glad that these troublesome skeletons had already been dealt with by the white-haired old man. Otherwise, who knew what kind of trouble would have arisen.
"Rumble!"
"Rumble!"
"Rumble …"
Just as Gu Zheng was rejoicing in his heart, unprecedented tremors occurred. Not only did it come from the core of the island, but it also made Gu Zheng feel that it came from the sky.
"Artifact Spirit, what's going on?" Gu Zheng hurriedly asked.
"The core of the island can't take it anymore. There's a strange occurrence that's accelerating its collapse."
The Artifact Spirit's voice paused, and then it said solemnly, "To be able to accelerate the collapse of the core of the island to such an extent, and even produce strange reactions in the sky, I think that someone must have made a breakthrough in one of the immortal arrays. Moreover, it's a breakthrough to the Jin Xian Realm!"
"It can't be!"
Gu Zheng's eyes widened. He couldn't help but be shocked by the Artifact Spirit's words. Someone was actually going to break through to the Jin Xian Realm in the immortal array.
"It will! Hurry up and speed up. When you see the white-haired old man later, don't hold back. If the core of the island doesn't leave this place when it collapses, then you'll definitely be in big trouble! "
As soon as the Artifact Spirit's solemn voice fell, Gu Zheng had already left the immortal array through the 'Life Gate'. During this process, the rumbling of the island did not stop.
The scene before his eyes alternated between light and dark again, and Gu Zheng appeared in the next immortal array.
The scene in the new immortal array was the scene in the main hall. However, Gu Zheng's position was at the entrance of the store, and the white-haired old man's position was in the middle of the hall.
"Clang clang clang clang …"
The sound of metal clashing could be heard incessantly. In addition to Gu Zheng and the white-haired old man, there were more than a hundred golden-armored puppets holding longswords in the main hall.
The golden-armored puppets were very powerful, and each of them had the strength of a mid-stage Void Return. Their movements were also very agile, and they could use some of the sword moves of a Sword Immortal.
The white-haired old man also used a sword. When Gu Zheng first entered the immortal array, he was fighting with the golden-armored puppets.
The white-haired old man, who did not suppress his strength, was very terrifying. With a longsword in hand, he was surrounded by a protective sword qi. Although there were many puppets, all the attacks were absorbed by his protective sword qi.
The hurricane-like sword qi came from the white-haired old man's hand. The golden-armored puppets lying on the ground were the best witnesses of his ability to kill anyone who stood in his way.
"Jin Xian mid-stage!"
The Artifact Spirit immediately told Gu Zheng the white-haired old man's cultivation level.
"The world is really big and full of strange things. In a low-level plane like Earth, he can be considered a weirdo to be able to use Jin Xian's cultivation level without being punished."
The Artifact Spirit's voice paused, and then it said hatefully, "The accelerated collapse of the entire island has something to do with him using Jin Xian's cultivation level. His strength has already overloaded the immortal array."
"I told you to scram, are you deaf? Since you don't want to scram, then don't scram! "
The white-haired old man suddenly turned around and flicked his wrist at Gu Zheng. A hurricane-like sword qi strangled toward Gu Zheng.
"I'm really surprised by your arrogance, so you can die in peace!"
Gu Zheng shouted angrily. He did not hold back at all and immediately used the divine power that Tang Mo had inherited from devouring the red-haired old man's body.
Tang Mo had two divine powers from devouring the red-haired old man's body. One was from devouring the red-haired old man's chest and abdomen, and the other was from devouring the red-haired old man's head. Both were five times as powerful as the red-haired giant at his peak!
Five times the power of a Divine Ability was a very terrifying concept. Gu Zheng, who felt that his body was full of explosive power, had a feeling that if he were to meet Patriarch Tian Conch whose strength was suppressed to the late stage of Golden Immortal in his current state, Gu Zheng was confident that he could beat Patriarch Tian Conch so badly that even Patriarch Tian Conch would not recognize him. After all, the difference between three times the power and five times the power wasn't as simple as one plus one equals two!
The moment Gu Zheng transformed into the red-haired giant, the hurricane-like sword qi also swept him away.
Under normal circumstances, Gu Zheng would've been reduced to a pile of minced meat by the sword qi of a mid-stage Jin Xian cultivator. However, he wasn't Gu Zheng now. He was a red-haired giant with electric arcs following his every movement. Not only did the hurricane-like sword qi not leave a single wound on his body, it didn't even cut off a single strand of his hair.
"Rumble …"
The collapse of the island intensified. Gu Zheng didn't hold back at all and punched at the white-haired old man.
The white-haired old man's eyes widened at Gu Zheng's transformation. Seeing how easily the transformed Gu Zheng resisted the sword qi, he turned and ran without another word.
But could the white-haired old man escape? He couldn't! With Gu Zheng's current state, he could even kill that freak Patriarch Tian Conch, let alone a mid-stage Jin Xian cultivator.
Whoosh!
The white-haired old man disappeared into thin air in the face of the fist wind behind him. When he reappeared, he was already behind Gu Zheng and very close to the main hall's doors.
The white-haired old man didn't appear here to deal with Gu Zheng. He just wanted to use another way to leave the immortal array.
However, the moment the white-haired old man appeared, the fist wind in the air that hadn't dissipated hit him directly on the back.
Bam!
A drum-like sound was mixed with the sound of bones breaking. The white-haired old man's body was deformed and he flew out like a kite with a broken string.
Before he could even let out a scream, the white-haired old man, who had an unusually tough attitude, was killed by Gu Zheng with a single punch. The corpse that fell to the ground was swarmed by the golden-armored puppets, who couldn't do anything to Gu Zheng. They swung their swords and chopped the corpse into pieces of meat.
"There are two ways to break the array. One is to leave through the main hall door. The other is to go to the throne in front and shut down all the immortal arrays on the island. This will not only save those trapped in the immortal arrays, but also slow down the rate at which the island's core is collapsing," the artifact spirit said urgently.
The white-haired old man hadn't immediately thought of leaving after entering the immortal array because he wanted to use the central hub to shut down all the immortal arrays and slow down the rate at which the island was collapsing. After all, there were still many treasures in the immortal arrays on the island. If he could slow down the collapse, he would be able to reap more treasures in return.
Now that the white-haired old man was dead, the task of shutting down the central hub fell on Gu Zheng's shoulders.
Gu Zheng, who was still in his transformed state, moved his body slightly and appeared near the throne.
According to the method the artifact spirit told him, Gu Zheng quickly shut down all the immortal arrays on the island. The shaking of the island's core also weakened a little.
However, the weakening only lasted for a moment. Accompanied by another clap of thunder in the sky, the entire island shook like never before!
"Quickly get the treasure and leave this place. The third heavenly tribulation is about to fall. The island can't withstand this kind of power!"
The artifact spirit's voice was very anxious. In fact, after learning that someone was about to advance to Jin Xian, the tribulation thunder just now was already the second tribulation.
After advancing to Jin Xian, there would be a total of three tribulation thunders, and each one was more powerful than the last. According to the impact of the tribulation thunder just now on the island, Gu Zheng already knew that this was a critical moment even without the artifact spirit's reminder.
All the immortal arrays on the island had been shut down by the ancient array, so Gu Zheng's current position was very close to the super treasure chest after experiencing the immortal array just now. Moreover, all the immortal arrays were shut down. Master Yu Feng, Xuan Qizi, and the others were also released from the immortal arrays.
"Quickly leave this place!"
Gu Zheng transmitted his voice to Master Yu Feng and Xuan Qizi. At the same time, he waved his hand and put the super treasure chest into the chaotic space. He had already jumped into the sky and broke through the roof of the main hall.
Master Yu Feng and Xuan Qizi naturally knew that the abnormality was because someone was undergoing tribulation. They almost followed Gu Zheng's actions and also broke through the roof and flew out.
"Crack!"
Gu Zheng and the others had just stopped in the air when the third tribulation thunder of Jin Xian's realm had already fallen.
After glancing at the island again, Gu Zheng flew out as fast as he could. After this tribulation thunder fell, whether the island would sink or explode was something that no one could be sure of. If it sank, it would be fine, but if it exploded, that kind of power would be extremely powerful!
Before flying out, Gu Zheng saw the person undergoing tribulation. However, his entire body was surrounded by a golden light, making it impossible for people to see his appearance clearly.
"Bang!"
After the tribulation thunder fell, the entire island exploded. This powerful power caused a shock wave visible to the naked eye to appear in the air. Some of the cultivators who were too slow to escape were directly swept up by the shock wave and turned into fine powder.
"Rumble …"
Thunder once again sounded in the air. The originally thick dark clouds quickly changed color into auspicious clouds. Violent winds and torrential rain mixed with the energy of heaven and earth baptized the golden light left behind by the explosion with great momentum.
When the blessings of heaven and earth dissipated the golden light around the person who had advanced, all the survivors of the righteous dao alliance cheered.
"Congratulations Fellow Daoist Ouyang!"
"Congratulations Fellow Daoist Ouyang for advancing to Jin Xian!"
"Emei's fortune, Shu Mountain's fortune, the righteous dao's fortune! Congratulations Fellow Daoist Ouyang, congratulations Fellow Daoist Ouyang! "
The person who had advanced to Jin Xian was * * *, who had been trapped at the peak of Void Return for many years and only lacked an epiphany opportunity.
Now that the blessings of heaven and earth had ended, * * * let out a long roar, as if he was roaring out the depression that had been suppressed in his chest for many years, but also as if he was responding to heaven and earth.
Epiphany was a very difficult thing to explain clearly. Before seeing the bottle in the immortal formation, * * * didn't know what he lacked and when his opportunity would come.
However, in the depths of * * *'s memory, there had always been a past that he had deliberately forgotten. When a bottle that was very similar to the key item in the past appeared, the dusty and sad past resurfaced again. From there, * * * saw what he lacked and found his opportunity to break through.
The remaining people of the Demonic Dao and the Western Sect had already fled when they saw that it was * * * who had advanced to Jin Xian. Now, only the members of the righteous dao alliance were still in the air.
In the face of everyone's congratulations, there was also an unconcealable excitement on * * *'s face. However, he simply responded to everyone's congratulations. He came to Gu Zheng's side and said with a complicated gaze, "Sect Leader, I'm going to ascend to the Untainted Land. There's only one month left for me to stay on Earth."
In the 'Saint's Imprint Incident', * * * had become Gu Zheng's servant in a practical sense. At this time, his complicated gaze was actually a profound farewell to Gu Zheng! After a month, he would no longer be able to follow by Gu Zheng's side, solve his problems, and be at his beck and call.
Gu Zheng was also very emotional about * * *'s farewell, but he had nothing else to say to everyone except congratulating them.
An island that hid countless treasures appeared in a hurry and disappeared in a hurry. He carried * * *'s advancement and also harvested the lives of many cultivators.
There was no one on the surface of the sea. Everyone had dispersed. There was no longer any value in staying here. All the treasures that were not taken out of the island had also been turned into powder with the explosion of the island.
Gu Zheng was more satisfied with the current results of this island incident. He had obtained many treasure chests that had not been counted yet. * * * had advanced to Jin Xian, and all the people from the Emei Sect who had come to look for him were all alive. Yuehua, who wanted to join Emei in the Immortal Array, also followed Gu Zheng back to the Emei Sect.
In fact, there were many people who followed Gu Zheng back to Emei. Most of the cultivators from the Alliance of the Righteous Sects followed.
* * *'s advancement to Jin Xian was a big deal. Even if Emei Sect kept a low profile, they had to hold a banquet to celebrate such a big event. Therefore, they directly followed to Emei Sect.
For three days, the focus of the cultivation world had been on Emei Sect.
* * * had advanced to Jin Xian, and Yuehua, who was at the Late-stage of Void Return, had joined Emei Sect. This was a double blessing for Emei Sect.
However, the discussion about Emei Sect was not all good news. There was another matter that made people angry.
Gu Zheng had killed Zhao Yifeng's Dao Companion in the Immortal Array. When Zhao Yifeng left, Gu Zheng could hear that Zhao Yifeng was going to do anything to get back at him.
On the day of the Emei Sect's banquet, Zhao Yifeng announced that he wanted to hurt Gu Zheng to the bone. He wanted to make Gu Zheng's relatives and friends disappear one by one.
Relatives and friends were the people that Gu Zheng cared about. Therefore, he left to make arrangements and deployment for this matter. But even so, when Zhao Yifeng released the news, he still hurt the people related to Gu Zheng. That person was Gu Zheng's university teacher, and he was cruelly killed by Zhao Yifeng.
Although the university teacher did not seem to be a very important person, this was only Zhao Yifeng's first step. Next, he would make a move on Gu Zheng's friends and relatives.
However, Gu Zheng, who had already made arrangements, did not let Zhao Yifeng succeed. Instead, it was the cultivators who were responsible for protecting Gu Zheng's relatives and friends who chased Zhao Yifeng like a stray dog.
Now, Zhao Yifeng was indeed like a stray dog. After offending Gu Zheng, there was no place for him in the entire cultivation world. Moreover, his way of doing things made the cultivators despise him.
During the three days of the banquet, Gu Zheng was forced to smile because of Zhao Yifeng, this bastard.
However, Zhao Yifeng also had some tricks up his sleeve. Several times, his traces were discovered. Several times, he escaped from the cultivators on Gu Zheng's side.
