Gu Zheng's guess was right. The Thousand Corpse Geezer had indeed left a trap to deal with the Immortal Domain! This time, the Thousand Corpse Geezer did not attack immediately. His eyes turned black in an instant. He seemed to have a panoramic view of the weaknesses of Gu Zheng's Immortal Domain.
Being in the Immortal Domain, Gu Zheng was also clear about what was happening outside. He naturally understood what the Thousand Corpse Geezer was doing!
To put it bluntly, the Immortal Domain was a temporary parallel space. There was a 'connecting channel' between it and the real space. It was just that this special 'connecting channel' could not be discovered by ordinary people. However, the Thousand Corpse Geezer was no ordinary person. Gu Zheng felt that he was about to launch a destructive attack on the Immortal Domain through the connecting channel.
As expected, the Thousand Corpse Geezer made his move! He waved a claw with purplish black lightning in the direction where Gu Zheng had disappeared.
"Bang!"
The Thousand Corpse Geezer's claw did not cause much of a commotion in the cave. However, there was an earth-shattering sound in the Immortal Domain. The world of ice and snow in front of Gu Zheng instantly collapsed. He once again appeared in the place where he had just disappeared!
"Wah!"
The Immortal Domain was forcefully destroyed. Gu Zheng inevitably suffered a backlash. The moment he appeared, he could not help but spit out a mouthful of blood.
"Welcome death!"
Seeing Gu Zheng spit out blood, the Thousand Corpse Geezer's shadow had an indescribable joy in his eyes. The pitch-black ceiling also lit up.
"Now is the time!"
Gu Zheng transmitted his voice to Ying Fei and Lang Feng.
According to the agreement, if the Thousand Corpse Geezer had really left a trap to destroy the Immortal Domain, then Gu Zheng would definitely be injured. Next, when the Thousand Corpse Geezer used his trap to kill Gu Zheng again, it would be the best time for Ying Fei and Lang Feng to make their move! After all, Gu Zheng had already used up several of the Thousand Corpse Geezer's traps. Among them, there were even traps that could be used to deal with the Immortal Domain. It was time to take a risk!
Almost at the same time that Gu Zheng transmitted his voice, Ying Fei and Lang Feng had already made their move. This was a matter of life and death. They seemed to be standing on the side, but in fact, they were constantly paying attention to the development of the situation.
"You're courting death!"
Faced with Ying Fei and Lang Feng's sudden attack, the phantom of Thousand Corpse Old Demon was enraged. Although his Divine Sense phantom's defense was very strong, the attacks launched by Ying Fei and Lang Feng were completely aimed at his Divine Sense phantom, as if they wanted to destroy it with a single strike!
"Boom!"
A loud boom rang out in the air. Under the joint attack of Ying Fei and Lang Feng, the Thousand Corpse Demon's Divine Will finally exploded into tiny specks of light.
However, the aftermath of the one-hit kill had also appeared. When the Phantom Spirit of the Thousand Corpse Elder sensed the danger, it launched all its arrangements as expected. Four shining life-saving jade talismans fell from the dark ceiling of the cave.
Not daring to see what kind of destructive attack the four phantoms of Thousand Corpse Fiend would unleash, Ying Fei used his Divine Sense to create an Immortal Domain space and sucked Lang Feng into it.
Four phantoms of Thousand Corpse Fiend appeared. Using different methods, they launched fierce attacks in the direction where Ying Fei and Lang Feng disappeared. Unfortunately, among the four phantoms of Thousand Corpse Fiend, there was no one who specialized in dealing with the Immortal Domain. Therefore, even though they bombarded the place where Ying Fei and Lang Feng disappeared, they could not do anything to Ying Fei's Immortal Domain.
Gu Zheng was not in Ying Fei's Immortal Domain. He had already entered the Chaotic Space before the phantoms of Thousand Corpse Fiend launched their attacks against him.
The disturbance had subsided, but Gu Zheng did not rush out immediately. He was eating a bowl of Grass Recovery Cultivation. Ying Fei also did not immediately put away the Immortal Domain. They both wanted to wait and see if there were any more variables.
After waiting for about an hour, Gu Zheng finally recovered from the backlash of the Immortal Domain's destruction and left the Great Desolate Space.
Seeing Gu Zheng appear out of thin air, Ying Fei also put away his Immortal Domain.
"Haha, hahahaha …"
The three who had just survived the disaster looked at each other and laughed.
"We have broken the rules of the Quasi-Sage game!"
Ying Fei laughed very exaggeratedly. He was somewhat out of breath. Perhaps only someone who had experienced enough nervousness would be able to have such an abnormal behavior.
"Yes! This Thousand Corpse Fiend is really a bastard. He left behind more arrangements than we expected. But no matter what, we seized the opportunity, won our dignity, and won the initiative! "
Lang Feng was also very excited. This was not in line with his usual serious image.
Compared to the two, Gu Zheng was much calmer. After all, he was the one who proposed the plan. Moreover, now that the artifact spirit had fallen into a deep sleep, it could be said that this was all thanks to Thousand Corpse Fiend. The hatred in his heart towards Thousand Corpse Fiend had not dissipated, and he did not want to sigh.
The phantoms of Thousand Corpse Fiend were no longer there. Gu Zheng and the others immediately began to explore the entire cave.
After removing the "stone wall" made of ice strips, Gu Zheng and the others saw a barrier. After breaking the barrier, there was a teleportation immortal array and a treasure chest inside.
When they saw the teleportation immortal array, whether it was Gu Zheng, Lang Feng, or Ying Fei, they all gnashed their teeth in anger.
"Bastard!"
Ying Fei cursed fiercely.
When they came here, the teleportation immortal array could accommodate five people. However, one of them was the 'death seat' that Thousand Corpse Fiend had set for him. Now, the teleportation immortal array could only accommodate three people! In other words, even if Wu Cheng did not die, even if Gu Zheng and the others all learned the Immortal Destroying Corpse Qi, one person would still have to stay in this place!
The treasure chest was very big. The first thing that came into view was a jade slip and some materials for refining corpses. The contents recorded in the jade slip were naturally the real Immortal Exterminating Corpse Qi, or rather, the essence that the Thousand Corpse Old Devil had not imparted to them before.
In addition to the Immortal Destroying Corpse Qi, the treasure chest also contained various resources such as food ingredients, elixirs, materials for refining elixirs, materials for refining weapons, materials for immortal arrays, immortal weapons, and so on.
Although the types of resources were very varied, they were all of high quality. Among them, the lowest grade of food ingredients was high. In addition, there were two immortal food ingredients that were extremely rare in the outside world!
In addition to the food ingredients, the most noteworthy item among the many resources was a top-grade immortal weapon.
However, if the top-grade immortal weapons were divided into three grades, the jade shuttle-shaped immortal weapon could only be regarded as low-grade. Currently, Tang Mo's jade shuttle-shaped immortal weapon was middle-grade, while Gu Zheng's Flipping Sky Seal was high-grade.
According to the previous agreement, Gu Zheng had the priority to choose these resources, and in the overall distribution, he had to take the largest share.
"I didn't think too much about it before. If I had known, I would have taken the lead!"
Ying Fei shook his head and sighed as the resources were about to be distributed.
"If you want to take the lead, you must have the strength to take the lead. As for the things that Fellow Cultivator Bai is going to choose and distribute, I will be envious, but I will not be jealous. This is the reward for his courage and luck!" Lang Feng gave Gu Zheng a thumbs-up.
"You speak as if you are jealous of me!"
Ying Fei rolled his eyes at Lang Feng. Then, he looked at Gu Zheng and said, "Fellow Cultivator Bai, hurry up and distribute the resources. After that, we will leave here and do whatever we are supposed to do!"
Lang Feng frowned and said, "Do whatever you are supposed to do? After going through such a thing, isn't it a cooperative relationship between us? "
"What happened here is only here. Our cooperative relationship is temporary. After leaving this cave, it's better for us to go our separate ways! "Lang Feng snorted.
"Fellow Cultivator Bai, what do you think? You have seen the danger in the cave, and this is not the core of the treasure chest! "
Lang Feng pleaded. After everything that happened in the cave, he felt that if he did not cooperate with Gu Zheng, it would be very difficult for him to survive in the future.
"Ying Fei, Fellow Cultivator Lang is right. This is not the core of the treasure chest. Moreover, we have already cooperated once! I feel that after leaving this place, it is better for us to maintain our cooperative relationship. "
What happened in the cave was out of Gu Zheng's expectations. This made Gu Zheng change his initial idea.
"Fine, let's cooperate! However, as someone who joined later and once said bad things about me, in the future, the two of us will get eighty percent of the resources, and you will only get twenty percent! "Ying Fei sneered.
"What do you mean?" Lang Feng asked.
"Don't you know what I mean? When you were in the Nine Palace Formation, you transmitted your voice to others. What did you say about Fellow Cultivator Bai and me? I don't need to repeat it, right? "
"You, you can hear other people's voice transmissions?"
"That's right!"
Looking at Lang Feng's wide open eyes, Ying Fei said arrogantly, "So? Do you agree to my twenty to eighty split? "
Lang Feng thought for a moment and said, "Twenty to eighty it is. However, I have a condition. Everything that we obtain that belongs to Thousand Corpse Geezer's inheritance must be destroyed. We cannot let it spread out!"
Destroying Thousand Corpse Geezer's inheritance was the original intention of the Heavenly Profound Sect's people when they entered the Skull Palace.
"No problem, I agree to this."
"I also agree."
Gu Zheng and Ying Fei said one after the other.
"I want some of the things in the treasure chest. The rest is for the two of you. What do you think?"
Gu Zheng took all the ingredients, jade shuttle immortal tool, and some elixirs. These things accounted for seventy percent of the total value of the resources.
"No problem!"
"Okay."
Although Gu Zheng took a lot, according to the previous agreement, he was supposed to take the majority. It was already good that he did not take eighty percent. Ying Fei and Lang Feng naturally did not have any objections.
After the resources were divided, Gu Zheng and the others activated the teleportation immortal array and left the cave.
Their vision alternated between light and dark. Gu Zheng and the others opened their eyes wide. They had imagined that they would appear in all kinds of environments, but they did not expect this to be a real sea of blood and mountains of corpses!
As far as their eyes could see, if it was not a continuous mountain range piled up by corpses, it was a river formed by filthy blood. The smell in the air was so pungent that it was hard to breathe. There was no sun in the sky. There were only thick layers of clouds. The color was so red that it looked like blood was about to drip.
This was not a different world. It was just an unknown space. What Gu Zheng and the others saw was real. It was not an illusion.
"Heavens, how many massacres did they have to create such a place!" Lang Feng muttered.
"It seems that we are not the first to come out!"
Looking at the three black dots in the distance, Ying Fei smiled coldly.
According to Gu Zheng and the others' guess, after leaving the Nine Palaces Array, everyone would go to different places to complete the inheritance game of Thousand Corpse Geezer.
Ying Fei and the others did not spend much time in the cave where the inheritance game was, so he thought that they should be the first to come out. But now, it seemed that at least three people had arrived at this place before them!
"They are too far away. Maybe those three black dots are not people!" Lang Feng said.
"Whether they are people or not, we will know when we go over!"
Ying Fei took the lead and flew up. The environment here was quite special. The exploration of divine sense was hindered to a certain extent. If they wanted to find treasures, just standing in the same place was not enough.
"Roar!"
A huge monster suddenly stood up from the blood river. It was a giant that was ninety feet tall. There was no skin on its body, only bloody muscles! As soon as it stood up, it waved its huge palm toward Gu Zheng and the others in the air.
After Gu Zheng and the others dodged and flew away, they did not attack. They just stood there stupidly.
"Whoosh …"
A sharp whistling sound pierced their eardrums. A strange bird with a wingspan of forty feet flew out from the red clouds. It stretched out its claws toward Gu Zheng and the others.
Gu Zheng waved Tang Mo, and a black saber light cut the huge strange bird in half. It fell to the ground.
"Bluff!" Ying Fei sneered.
"The giant from before and the strange bird now feel like the failed corpses of Thousand Corpse Geezer. They look very strong, but in reality, they are not as strong as the refined corpses we encountered in the first and second levels of the Skull Palace," Lang Feng said.
"Is this the core of the Skull Palace?"
Gu Zheng muttered. The hatred for Thousand Corpse Geezer rose in his heart again.
Previously, Gu Zheng had communicated with the artifact spirit about the Skeletal Palace. Although it was a defensive type Immortal artifact, it could still be considered as a high-grade Immortal artifact among the top-grade Immortal artifacts.
The weapon spirit told Gu Zheng that Thousand Corpse Geezer's final inheritance must be in the core of the Skull Palace. In order to obtain the Skeletal Palace, a top-grade Immortal artifact, he would have to go to the core of the Skeletal Palace.
However, the weapon spirit did not know where the core of the Skull Palace was. She only told Gu Zheng that if Gu Zheng reached the core of the Skull Palace, she would know if Gu Zheng was in the core of the Skull Palace.
"I feel that it should be the core of the Skull Palace. After all, we already came into contact with the inheritance in the previous level," Lang Feng said.
"It's hard to say. This Thousand Corpse Geezer never plays by the rules." Ying Fei shook his head.
"It seems that they are not human!" Gu Zheng said.
During the time when everyone was communicating with their divine senses, they could finally see the true appearance of the three black dots.
The three black dots did look like humans. Based on their appearance alone, they were no different from real humans! An old man, a middle-aged man, and a child. They looked very similar, as if they were a grandfather and his grandson.
However, Gu Zheng and the others only needed one look to know that these three fellows were not human. Or rather, they were not living humans because they did not have the slightest trace of a living person's aura. Moreover, upon closer inspection, these three fellows were basically the same person. They were just of different ages.
"What are these three things? They really look like humans! "
"The two of you, I can't see that these three fellows have cultivation!"
Lang Feng and Ying Fei looked at the three guys lying on the ground as they said one sentence each.
"These three fellows are not simple. The things hanging on their bodies are clearly life-saving jade talismans!"
Gu Zheng frowned. The three fellows on the ground each had three green jade talismans hanging on their bodies.
"Inheritors, come down!"
Although these three fellows had no cultivation, they were indeed not simple as Gu Zheng said. Gu Zheng and the others were still high in the sky, but they had already noticed that the old man was waving at Gu Zheng and the others. His voice was so loud that it felt like a sound wave attack.
"Inheritors?" Lang Feng frowned.
"What should we do?" Ying Fei said.
"Don't act rashly. Let's wait and see."
Gu Zheng's voice paused, then he said to the ground, "You three are?"
"Inheritors, we are the servants of the Thousand Corpse Geezer. We are also the people who gave you the last test. As long as you pass this last test, you will have the chance to obtain the inheritance left behind by the Thousand Corpse Geezer, as well as a large number of treasures," the old man said.
"Come down! Don't be afraid. Although we have life-saving jade talismans, as long as you don't do anything bad, we won't use them. "
The child also spoke. His voice was so loud that it was like a sound wave attack.
"The three of you are the first batch of inheritors to arrive here. If you continue to hesitate and wait for more inheritors to arrive, you will lose the opportunity to take the test first. This is related to the final inheritance!"
The middle-aged man also spoke. His voice was just as loud.
"Damn it, we just took the initiative not long ago, and now we are in such a passive position!"
Lang Feng fiercely gritted his teeth. "Unfortunately, we don't know where the old ancestor of the Heavenly Xuan Sect is trapped in the Skull Palace. If the old ancestor was here, perhaps there would be a way to break out of this situation!"
The three of them were already in a cooperative relationship. They had told each other some things. The old ancestor of the Heavenly Xuan Sect that Lang Feng spoke of was a Sage-to-be. This time, he had also come to the Skull Palace.
However, Lang Feng and the others had entered first. The old ancestor of the Heavenly Xuan Sect had entered later. When they were on the second floor of the Skull Palace, Lang Feng had used a secret technique to contact the old ancestor of the Heavenly Xuan Sect. At that time, the old ancestor of the Heavenly Xuan Sect was trapped on the first floor of the Skull Palace. Later on, the old ancestor of the Heavenly Xuan Sect had lost contact with him.
Just as Gu Zheng had asked Lu Piaoxiang before, there were indeed Sage-to-be who had entered the Skull Palace. However, the Thousand Corpse Geezer had specially made arrangements for Sage-to-be in order to prevent Sage-to-be from coming to destroy the Skull Palace.
"Naive. After what happened in the cave, do you really think that we can always take the initiative?" Ying Fei said with a smile.
"Although we can't always take the initiative, we can still fight for it!"
Gu Zheng muttered with a frown. He was thinking about what to do now.
Ying Fei and Lang Feng didn't say anything. They were also thinking about how to deal with it.
