This senior from Mount Shu who had saved them and ascended from the lower realm was actually the imposter they were looking for.
Wu Zheng's face was burning. He did not doubt Gu Zheng's identity. Gu Zheng could be said to be his savior. Although he could escape, his companions would definitely die. He was not the kind of person who would abandon his companions. He was afraid that they would be in danger in the end.
He would not doubt his savior. That meant that the information he had received before was not accurate. Someone had spread false information.
Gu Zheng was from Mount Shu and was not an imposter.
It was a pity that he had foolishly thought of going to the Nanzhan Section Continent to catch the imposter. Because of this, he had implicated two of his companions and caused them to die in the desert. In the end, he had also embarrassed himself in front of his seniors.
It was really embarrassing. At least Wu Zheng wanted to find a hole to hide in now. He was too ashamed to face Gu Zheng.
"Senior, I, I don't know …"
Wu Zheng was a little incoherent, and Zhao Shan wasn't any better. They knew that the imposter they wanted to catch was right in front of them, and he was even the one who had saved them. The feeling of being ashamed and unable to show their faces was really unbearable.
"I understand. You don't have to worry about it. When we return to Mount Shu, everything will be clear!"
Gu Zheng smiled and nodded. Wu Zheng let out a long sigh of relief. It was good that the senior understood. But soon, he was angry with the person who had spread the news. The person who had spread the news not only embarrassed him, but also caused the death of two of his companions. He had already blamed the death of his companions on the Three Immortals Cave.
"Yes, yes. When I return, I will report to the sect and find out who had spread such false information and slandered the two seniors!"
Wu Zheng gritted his teeth and said hatefully. Mount Shu had a strict seniority. Before reaching the Celestial Immortal Realm, all of them had to cultivate in the various mountain sects of Mount Shu. These mountain sects were still closed. Only after cultivating to become an immortal would one be qualified to return to Mount Shu.
However, it was not absolute. Those disciples of the Jin Xian, even if they had not reached the Celestial Immortal Realm, could stay in Mount Shu to cultivate. The Jin Xian had their own cave abodes in Mount Shu. They could stay in the abodes of the Jin Xian elders.
In addition, in Mount Shu, Celestial Immortals were not qualified to accept disciples. Only Jin Xian Immortals could. The Jin Xian Immortals did not accept disciples who had not reached the Celestial Immortal Realm. Only immortals who had reached the Celestial Immortal Realm could become disciples..
When a disciple made a breakthrough in his cultivation and became a Golden Immortal, he also had the qualifications to take in disciples. Therefore, in Shushan, regardless of whether he had a master or not, as long as he met a Golden Immortal senior, he would be addressed as Uncle-Master.
.........................
.. Gu Zheng smiled and shook his head. He already knew who was the one who spread the fake news. Now that the news had spread to the Dong Sheng Divine Continent, there must be many people who knew about it.
Gu Zheng would definitely be unhappy that so many people knew that they were imposters. However, he had just left the Nan Zhan Department Continent. It was not the time to go back yet. When he had the chance to come back in the future, he would definitely settle the score with them.
Slandering one's reputation was not a small matter. Gu Zheng would not let this matter rest.
"Since you know that we are not imposters, are you still going to the Nan Zhan Department Continent?"
Gu Zheng asked again. Wu Zheng scratched his head embarrassedly. Finally, he said, "Of course not. The desert is too dangerous. Without Uncle-Master's company, we will not go anywhere. I will bring Uncle-Master's company back to the sect!"
They already knew the danger of the desert. Naturally, they did not dare to go forward. Even if they did not meet Gu Zheng and the rest, they might not be able to cross this desert. Without Jin Xian's company, this desert was indeed dangerous.
The five of them agreed to not go forward. They followed Gu Zheng and the rest back to the Dong Sheng Divine Continent.
Bringing along five Celestial Immortal Realm cultivators, the weakest of whom was only in the Qi Transformation Realm, Gu Zheng's speed dropped a lot. They flew for about ten days before arriving at the Dong Sheng Divine Continent.
In this way, the news of Gu Zheng's imposters had reached the Dong Sheng Divine Continent at least ten days ago. He did not know what method they used to spread the news so quickly.
The Dong Sheng Divine Continent was one of the Four Great Continents. It was also infinitely large. From the moment they entered the Dong Sheng Divine Continent, it would take about three months to reach Mount Shu. In these three months, they relied on Gu Zheng and the rest to fly. If they brought along Wu Zheng and Zhao Shan, their speed would be even slower.
Fortunately, Wu Zheng's three companions left after leaving the desert. The two people who died this time were their people. They had to go back and report that they could not continue to follow Gu Zheng and the rest. If they followed, they might not be able to reach Mount Shu in a year.
"Uncle-Master Gu, this is the Celestial Nation. Legend has it that a beautiful fairy landed here and was seen by the king of the Celestial Nation. Unfortunately, the fairy left. The king missed her day and night and always wanted to see her again. Unfortunately, he did not get his wish. Therefore, he changed the name of his nation to the Celestial Nation. It has been thousands of years since then!"
The first nation after entering the Dong Sheng Divine Continent was the Celestial Nation. Wu Zheng introduced it to Gu Zheng with relish. Mount Shu did not have many restrictions on their immortal disciples. As long as they did not commit crimes, it was not a problem for them to go out. After Wu Zheng became an immortal, he often went out and especially liked to go to the mortal world.
He knew a lot of the interesting stories of the mortals and talked a lot along the way.
"Uncle-Master, let's rest in the Imperial City. I know their Imperial Advisor. He will definitely treat us well!"
When they reached the capital of the Celestial Nation, Wu Zheng said to Gu Zheng. There were many mortal nations in the Untainted Land. Basically, every mortal nation would have an Imperial Advisor, and the Imperial Advisor would definitely be an immortal. If he was not an immortal, he would not be qualified to be an Imperial Advisor.
In the past, Gu Zheng thought that only a few nations had Imperial Advisors. He did not expect that Imperial Advisors were standard in the Untainted Land. This could be considered an eye-opener.
"That's good too. Let them provide us with a quiet residence!"
Gu Zheng agreed. After flying for so long, it was time for him to have a good rest. He did not plan to travel for the next few days. He would rest for at least three or four days first.
They had already arrived at the Dong Sheng Divine Continent. Sooner or later, they would reach Mount Shu. Now, they were not in such a hurry.
"That's a good idea. Brother Gu, you must make something delicious. I'm dying!"
He Zudao was the first to agree. Previously, when he was with the juniors, Gu Zheng did not do anything. Occasionally, he would eat something. The fruits and pastries that he carried with him were not as good as the food Gu Zheng made.
These days, he was indeed dying from hunger. He had been thinking about eating.
"No problem!"
Gu Zheng immediately agreed. After being on the road for so many days, he also wanted to reward himself by having a good meal. Only Wu Zheng didn't know what was going on. However, he just listened to whatever the seniors said. It was very simple to ask for a quiet courtyard. When he met the Imperial Preceptor's friend, he directly said that his family's elders were following and asked the Imperial Preceptor to prepare the best and quietest courtyard.
With the seniors of Mount Shu following, the Imperial Advisor did not dare to be negligent. He directly took out a Royal Courtyard, and it was the best one.
This courtyard had a lot of history. It was said that it was the place where the King saw the Celestial Immortal. After that, the Celestial Immortal did not return. He sealed this place and transformed it into a Royal Courtyard. Moreover, he built it beautifully in the hope that the Celestial Immortal would return one day.
After that, because the environment was good, successive Emperors also improved it. Gradually, it became the best Royal Courtyard.
This courtyard was not big. It only had three entrances and three exits. However, the environment was very good. Gu Zheng and the others were few, so it was very suitable for them to live here.
Not only did the Imperial Advisor come personally, he also brought over a hundred beautiful maidservants. However, they were all chased away by Gu Zheng. He did not need these people to serve him. His attitude towards the Imperial Advisor was better. After all, the other party had helped him. One would not hit a smiling person.
Wu Zheng saw that Gu Zheng did not want outsiders to stay here. He let the Imperial Advisor go back first. In the entire Royal Courtyard, only the five of them were left.
* * * As usual, he tidied up his things. Gu Zheng took out kitchen utensils and some ingredients from the Chaotic Space. He Zudao excitedly walked around. After so many days, he could finally eat the food that Gu Zheng personally made.
Only Wu Zheng and Zhao Shan were watching like idiots. Only when Gu Zheng began to cook did they realize that Gu Zheng was cooking.
Cooking. Senior Jin Xian was personally cooking while they were just watching from the side. No matter how they looked at it, they felt it was very strange. However, Gu Zheng did not ask them to help, so they couldn't help. They could only obediently stand to the side and wait.
Previously, he had only made portions for three people. Today, there were five people. So Gu Zheng made portions for five people.
Today, he made a lot more sumptuous. There were all kinds of meat. There were a total of eight dishes. Moreover, the portions were very large. When they were served, a rich fragrance wafted out.
Gu Zheng did not make chicken blood soup. The fragrance was limited. There were not many people in the vicinity, so it did not cause a sensation. It also did not attract anyone.
In truth, even if others smelled it, they would not be able to enter. This was the Royal Courtyard. It was not an ordinary place.
Wu Zheng and Zhao Shan sat in front of the table and couldn't help swallowing their saliva.
"Delicious, so fragrant!"
When Gu Zheng said that it was time to eat, He Zudao was the first to move his chopsticks. He picked up a piece of Red Braised Meat and took a bite. He Zudao was not a stingy person. He also took out his Kunlun Brew and distributed it to everyone.
"This is Kunlun Brew!"
Gu Zheng and * * * were still fine. Wu Zheng and Zhao Shan were dumbfounded. Kunlun Brew! This was one of the ten best brews in the Chaotic Space. Even many Jin Xian seniors in the sect might not be able to drink such a fine wine.
Kunlun Brew was unique to Kunlun. There was not much production. In the Chaotic Space, there was a price but no market. It was simply a good thing that could not be bought with money. Not only was the taste good, but it was also said that drinking a mouthful could make one immortal and immune to poison.
Legends were only legends. However, this Kunlun Brew did have the effect of increasing one's lifespan. The amount of increase depended on one's cultivation. If a Sky Immortal drank it, it would increase one's lifespan by one to two thousand years. If a Jin Xian drank it, it would increase his lifespan by ten to twenty thousand years. If a Daluo Jinxian drank it, it might even increase his lifespan by several hundred thousand years.
However, this kind of lifespan could only be increased once. There would be no effect after drinking it again.
As for being immune to poison, ordinary poisons would not be a problem. As for types, not to mention one hundred, one would be immune to thousands of poisons. This was the benefit of Kunlun Brew.
Gu Zheng had just arrived in the Chaotic Space and did not know about this. However, Wu Zheng and Zhao Shan knew. After knowing that it was Kunlun Brew, they were very excited. Martial Uncle was indeed worthy of being called Martial Uncle. Not only did he know the seniors of Kunlun, he could even drink such a treasure like Kunlun Brew.
Even their master might not necessarily be able to drink Kunlun Brew. This time, they had really profited.
"Delicious, really delicious!"
Wu Zheng and Zhao Shan also ate the dishes on the table, and they could not help but praise. Very few people could resist Gu Zheng's food, regardless of whether they were mortals or immortals.
"Martial Uncle Gu, I did not expect you to have such good culinary skills. Your culinary skills are better than many of the Immortal Chefs of Shu Mountain. I think you can get a good ranking in the Immortal Chef Tournament!"
Wu Zheng said while eating. Immortal Chef Tournament … Gu Zheng's heart was slightly moved.
The Immortal Chef Tournament was held once every thousand years in the Chaotic Space. Although it was just an Immortal Chef Tournament, it was of a very high level and scale. Not only could the Immortal Chefs of the various sects participate, but even the Immortal Chefs who cultivated alone in the Chaotic Space could also participate.
The Immortal Chef Tournament was held by the Heavenly Court. It was said that Sage Kui's shadow was behind this, and it was him who ordered the Heavenly Court to do this.
Sage Kui was one of the ten Sages. Anything that was related to a Sage was not a small matter.
"What's the Immortal Chef Tournament all about?"
Soran Ao could see that Gu Zheng's heart was moved, so he immediately asked. Wu Zheng was very reluctant to part with the food in his mouth, but he still quickly swallowed it. Then, he replied, "Martial Uncle Ouyang, the Immortal Chef Tournament is held once every thousand years, and every sect will send their own Immortal Chefs to participate. At that time, there will be tens of thousands of Immortal Chefs participating, and the Immortal Chef who wins first place will be rewarded with a Daluo Jinxian Pill!"
"Daluo Jinxian Pill?"
This time, not only Gu Zheng and Soran Ao, even He Zudao sat up straight and looked at Wu Zheng.
He had only been in the Wilderness for five hundred years, and he was very gluttonous. He also knew about the Immortal Chef Tournament, but he didn't know much about it. He also didn't know that the champion of the Immortal Chef Tournament would be rewarded with a Daluo Jinxian Pill.
He was no stranger to the Daluo Jinxian Pill. It was a pill that could increase the chances of a late Jin Xian to become a Daluo Jinxian. Apart from Sages, no one could refine it. Although the increase wasn't one hundred percent, it was more than thirty percent, which was enough for many late Jin Xian Chefs. With an additional thirty percent increase, the chances of them becoming a Daluo Jinxian would increase by a lot.
This kind of immortal pill was definitely a treasure that everyone would fight for.
A Daluo Jinxian! Not to mention the millions of years of life after becoming a Daluo Jinxian, just by becoming a Daluo Jinxian, one's strength would allow one to walk unhindered in the Wilderness. Even some big sects would have to give you some face.
"I didn't expect that the prize of the Immortal Chef Tournament would be a Daluo Jinxian Pill. No wonder there are so many Immortal Chefs in each sect, and they are still training them!"
A Daluo Jinxian Pill didn't guarantee that a Daluo Jinxian would appear, but it would at least give some hope. The Immortal Chef Tournament was held once every thousand years, and it had been held hundreds of times. Hundreds of Daluo Jinxian Pills had been given out, and these hundreds of Daluo Jinxian Chefs had created hundreds of new Daluo Jinxian.
Hundreds of Daluo Jinxian Chefs sounded like a lot, but when they were scattered all over the Wilderness, it seemed very little.
"Wu Zheng, when will the next Immortal Chef Tournament be held?"
He Zudao quickly asked. Wu Zheng thought for a moment, then said, "The last Immortal Chef Tournament was held eight hundred years ago. The next one will be held in about two hundred years!"
Two hundred years … Gu Zheng shook his head inwardly, and He Zudao slightly exhaled.
Two hundred years was too long for Gu Zheng. He had only cultivated for a few years, so two hundred years was indeed very long for him. However, it was different for He Zudao and the others. Including Sun Mao, they all felt that two hundred years was very fast.
Gu Zheng's eight dishes were all finished in the end, and a lot of the Kunlun Brew was drunk. Thanks to Gu Zheng, Wu Zheng and Zhao Shan also drank a cup. They could only drink one cup, and they couldn't drink more.
One cup was already very satisfying for them.
The Heavenly Immortal Empire rested for three days before the five of them set off again. The Imperial Preceptor came to send them off again. The Imperial Preceptor was also at the early Void Return realm, and his attitude was exceptionally good.
After disturbing the Imperial Preceptor for a few days, He Zudao took the initiative to take out an immortal pill as a reward. Gu Zheng didn't know what He Zudao gave him, but looking at the Imperial Preceptor's wild with joy, he knew that it definitely wasn't something bad. After these few days of interaction, Gu Zheng knew that this brat He Zudao wasn't poor, or rather, he was very rich.
A rich person. Since he was willing to reward them, Gu Zheng and the others naturally wouldn't have any objections.
"Returning Origin Pill, Little Table really made a fortune this time!"
On the way out, Wu Zheng said with some envy. He Zudao had rewarded them with the Returning Origin Pill. The Returning Origin Pill wasn't used for cultivation, and it wasn't a pill for breaking through. Its function was to strengthen one's origin energy and spirit, and to increase the power of one's divine sense.
It could increase the power of one's divine sense, but of course, it was a treasure.
With Wu Zheng and Zhao Shan around, they weren't lonely. After about half a year, Gu Zheng and the others finally arrived at Mount Shu. Mount Shu wasn't on the ground, but in the air. The surrounding three thousand miles of Mount Shu was already a forbidden area, and outsiders were not allowed to enter.
Within the three thousand miles of Mount Shu, there were many sword immortals patrolling. All of them were flying on their swords, looking very handsome.
"Halt!"
After entering the range of 3,000 li, a patrolling disciple immediately came forward and stopped the five of them. Wu Zheng took out his token and pointed at Gu Zheng and Sora Aoi. The patrolling disciple only looked at them before nodding and allowing the five of them to enter.
Of course, it wasn't a problem for them to enter. If Gu Zheng came alone, without Wu Zheng, he would have to pass on a message and delay some time.
"Uncle-Master Gu, when we are within a thousand miles, we will be able to see the main peak of Mount Shu!"
As they flew quickly, Wu Zheng introduced the situation of Mount Shu to Gu Zheng. When they were within a thousand miles of Mount Shu, they saw a tall mountain that towered into the sky from afar. That was the main peak of Mount Shu.
Legend had it that the main peak of Mount Shu was directly inserted into the 33 Heavens in the Immortal World. However, this was only a legend. The main peak of Mount Shu didn't reach beyond the 33 Heavens. It only reached the 16th Heavens.
It was already very impressive to be able to reach the 16th Heavens. In addition to the main peak, Mount Shu also had three thousand side peaks surrounding the main peak. The three thousand side peaks had their own stewards. They were in different positions and had different resources.
The good and big side peaks had thousands of disciples. Some very remote and small side peaks that didn't have many resources might only have a few disciples. It could be said that the huge Mount Shu was divided into three thousand small organizations. Each of them managed themselves, and the main peak was in charge of everything.
There was no other way. There were too many disciples in Mount Shu, and it wasn't easy to manage them all. Therefore, if they put down their power and managed them separately, they could still form a positive competitive situation.
