It had to be said that the current situation was a difficult problem for Gu Zheng and the other two.
Although the three of them didn't seem to have any cultivation, they all had life-saving jade talismans on them. Once they activated them, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Do you two have any ideas?" Gu Zheng transmitted his voice to the two of them.
"In this situation, I really can't think of any good ideas!" Lang Feng said helplessly.
"We can't attack them. If we don't attack them, we don't know what kind of situation we'll be in!"
Ying Fei transmitted his voice and then said, "Why don't we walk around and see if we can find any treasures?"
"Inheritor, what are you doing? I advise you to be obedient and follow us to take the test! "The old man's voice was a little impatient.
"Really, I don't know what you're afraid of. You've already passed the first test. As long as you're obedient, what can happen?" The middle-aged man shook his head.
"You'd better follow us quickly! Staying outside will not only cause you to miss the opportunity, but also put you in danger. After all, there are many corpse-refining products left by the old ancestor. Some may be very weak, but some may be very powerful. "
As if to confirm the child's words, a huge claw suddenly stretched out from the red clouds and grabbed at Gu Zheng and the other two.
The huge pressure accompanied the huge claw, and the air around Gu Zheng and the others seemed to have solidified. This claw definitely had the strength of the late Daluo Jinxian!
Fortunately, Gu Zheng and the other two weren't mediocre. Although the huge claw was fast and brought great pressure, they still flew out before the huge claw touched them.
The huge claw didn't attack Gu Zheng and the others a second time. It slowly retracted into the clouds, and only then did Gu Zheng and the others have time to carefully size it up.
Although only bones and rotten flesh were left, Gu Zheng and the others could still see that it was an extremely terrifying huge dragon claw. It could easily grab a house with a light claw!
"Rumble …"
After the dragon claw retracted into the clouds, the sound of rolling thunder came from the clouds, and a huge dragon head stretched out.
A single claw could easily pick up a house, so one could only imagine the size of the dragon's head. Compared to the dragon's head, Gu Zheng and the others were like ants.
The dragon's head was also covered in bones and rotten flesh. One of the dragon's eyes had even fallen out of its eye socket and stuck close to the dragon's nose.
"Boom!"
The huge dragon head sneezed, and the sound was like a sudden clap of thunder, causing Gu Zheng and the others' eardrums to hurt. Then, a downpour of blood rained down, and the dragon head retreated back into the clouds.
While dodging the rain of blood caused by the dragon's sneeze, Gu Zheng sent a message to Ying Fei and Lang Feng, "Since we're already here, let's take things as they come. Let's see what tricks they have up their sleeves!"
Ying Fei and Lang Feng didn't have any objection to Gu Zheng's decision. They followed Gu Zheng and landed on the ground.
"Hehe, your head and face are covered in dust, right?"
Seeing Gu Zheng's group land, the child stuck out his tongue at Gu Zheng's group and made funny faces. He really looked like a human child.
"Come with us to accept the last test!"
The old man looked very kind as he smiled at Gu Zheng's group and led them forward.
"What kind of existences are you three?"
Following behind the old man, Gu Zheng tried to ask.
Being asked what they were, the three inhuman existences didn't get angry. Instead, pride appeared on their faces.
"Let me tell you, let me tell you!"
The child struggled and said, "The ancestor named us' zombie spirits'. We are creatures that have a lot of similarities with you. We are the high-level products of the ancestor after he comprehended the Dao!"
Ying Fei and Lang Feng were a little confused by the child's proud words. Gu Zheng's eyes lit up and said, "Can I check your body?"
Gu Zheng actually made such an unreasonable request. Ying Fei and Lang Feng immediately felt like they were about to break out in cold sweat. However, the child's performance was as kind as he appeared on the surface.
"You are inheritors. We won't refuse a few simple requests. However, you can't play any tricks. Otherwise, the consequences will be very serious!" The child waved his little fist at Gu Zheng.
"Don't worry, I won't act blindly without thinking!"
Gu Zheng smiled. His smile was very much like a bad guy's.
After sending a portion of his divine sense into the child's body, Gu Zheng quickly completed a simple exploration of the child's body.
"How do you feel?" the child asked.
"Shocking, very shocking! You were created using the immortal technique 'Nuwa Creates Man'. The Dao it contains is the Dao of Rebirth from Death! "
Gu Zheng was really shocked. The Thousand Corpse Old Devil's understanding of the immortal technique 'Nuwa Creates Man' had already reached a very high level! Moreover, on the Great Dao of Life and Death, the Dao he walked on was very unique.
Gu Zheng also had a good understanding of the immortal technique 'Nuwa Creates Man'. However, compared to the Thousand Corpse Old Devil, he was still far from it! The Thousand Corpse Old Devil's creation could already be called a person, while the one he created could only be called an embryo.
In addition, Gu Zheng had also come into contact with the Dao of Life and Death in the Mysterious Realm. His exploration of the child's body had also given him some enlightenment. However, this kind of enlightenment was not too deep. It was like a seed that existed in the mind. It required time to study it, or it could be said that it required an opportunity for the seed to germinate and grow.
However, no matter what, Gu Zheng's exploration of the child's body could be considered as his own gain. At the same time, he also had a better understanding of the 'corpse spirit' created by the Thousand Corpse Old Devil.
"Of course, how could my ancestor be an ordinary person? My ancestor is a very powerful existence among the Sage-to-be! Therefore, all of you must work hard. If you pass the last test, you will also have the chance to become people like my ancestor! "
Gu Zheng's words were very effective on the child. His footsteps became bouncing and skipping, appearing very cheerful.
The Sage-to-be Realm was very mysterious. Cultivators in this realm could become Sage Immortals as long as they could find a way to prove their Dao and successfully prove their Dao. However, if they could not find a way to prove their Dao, they could only stay in this realm until they died under the Heavenly Tribulation.
The longer one stayed in the Sage-to-be Realm, the more profound their cultivation would be! Although the Sage-to-be Realm was only a big realm on the surface, due to the depth of their strength, ordinary people would still divide the cultivators in this realm into three stages: the early stage, the middle stage, and the late stage. The Thousand Corpse Old Devil's strength was already in the late stage of the Sage-to-be Realm. Gu Zheng had seen the power of his attack. Therefore, he was sure that the depth of his strength was even more terrifying than the Supreme Elder Jin Yuanzi of Shu Mountain.
"How is it?"
Ying Fei and Lang Feng transmitted their voices to Gu Zheng almost at the same time.
"Don't really treat him as a child. Also, don't think that these 'corpse spirits' are stupid! Although I didn't dare to check his mind, from the result of the investigation of his body, I can infer that they are smarter than ordinary people! Moreover, there is a strange energy in their bodies that is different from ours. This strange energy disappeared when I was investigating, so I didn't dare to get to the bottom of it. Now, I can conclude that they should have a certain level of strength. Moreover, when this strange energy is used in an attack, it will also be very strange! "Gu Zheng said.
The three of them followed the three corpse spirits through the sea of blood and mountains of corpses. They walked for about the time it took for an incense stick to burn.
During this time, Gu Zheng and the others saw many strange corpses. Some of them emitted very powerful auras. However, with the three corpse spirits leading the way, these corpses only roared at Gu Zheng and the others. They did not attack them.
The place where Gu Zheng and the others stopped was in front of a tall mound. There were several similar mounds in the distance, and they looked like tombs.
Gu Zheng and the others stopped in front of the mound. Accompanied by a rumbling sound, a stone door opened on top of the mound.
After the three corpse spirits entered the stone door, there was a slanted passageway in front of them. Whether it was the walls on both sides or the path under their feet, they were all blood-red like the outside. However, the smell here was completely different from the outside. If the smell outside was said to be fishy, the smell here was normal. There was even a faint fragrance of flowers.
"What is this fragrance?" Gu Zheng tried to ask.
"This is the smell of the 'Devil Heart Flower' in full bloom. The test you will face later is related to the 'Devil Heart Flower'." The old man said.
"What kind of flower is the 'Devil Heart Flower' he mentioned?"
"I don't know. I've never smelled this smell before. It's very unique."
"Smell less. It's better to be cautious."
"Don't worry. How could we make such a low-level mistake? It's not like we can't not breathe! "
Gu Zheng and the others quickly communicated with each other.
After walking along the passageway with the three corpse spirits for a while, the terrain became flat. In front of Gu Zheng and the others, a huge square space appeared.
There were no extra decorations. In the center of the square space, there was a square stone platform. In addition to the runes engraved on the platform, there was also a huge circular light barrier at the top. Inside, there was a strange blood-red flower.
This strange blood-red flower was very strange. Whether it was the flower stalk or the leaves, they all seemed to be made of meat. It looked a bit like the flower of a human heart, undulating like a beating heart. Moreover, the flower stalk and leaves seemed to be watching Gu Zheng and the others, moving along with their movements! When Gu Zheng and the others stood in different directions, the flower stalk would grow new leaves, aiming at them without missing a single one.
"This is the Devil Heart Flower. Back then, the ancestor comprehended the Dao while looking at it!" The old man said to everyone.
"Now, I'll give you the last test. Try to comprehend the Devil Heart Flower! If what you comprehend satisfies the Devil Heart Flower, then the Devil Heart Flower will open the light barrier and you will be able to obtain the item inside the stone platform, which is the final inheritance. "
After the middle-aged man finished speaking, he sincerely bowed three times towards the Devil Heart Flower. The main flower of the Devil Heart Flower was like a person nodding his head. The mysterious runes engraved on the stone platform all emitted light, and then the entire stone platform became transparent.
The stone platform was originally very big. After it became transparent, Gu Zheng and the others could see that there was actually a super big treasure chest in the middle of the stone platform!
The treasure chests Gu Zheng found in the Skull Palace were not small, and the treasure chests in the hidden treasury were even bigger. However, if the treasure chest in front of them was a chest, then the treasure chest in the hidden treasury could only be considered a box.
Moreover, the treasure chest also became transparent. Gu Zheng and the others could see that there were many jade slips, immortal tools, ingredients, pills, and many other precious resources. Among them, the most eye-catching one was a palm-sized Skull Palace that was flickering with golden light!
The moment he saw the small Skull Palace, Gu Zheng had a feeling that this small Skull Palace was the core of the top immortal tool, the Skull Palace. As long as it recognized him as its master, then he would possess the entire Skull Palace!
The runes on the stone platform dimmed. Everything that was originally transparent also became opaque, and finally returned to its original state.
"You are the first batch to pass the inheritance test, so you are very lucky!"
The child giggled and said, "All of you can comprehend the Devilheart Flower now. As for the others behind you, we'll bring them here to comprehend it as well. But in terms of time, they're already behind all of you. After all, you only have ten days to comprehend, no matter who came first or last. "
"What if after ten days, no one can comprehend something that satisfies the Devil Heart Flower?" Lang Feng asked.
"If such a situation really occurs, then the Devil Heart Flower will choose the inheritor." The old man said.
"After the inheritor is chosen, what will the others do?" Ying Fei asked.
"That will depend on the inheritor's intentions. If the inheritor wants them to live, then they will live. If the inheritor wants them to die, then they will die!" The middle-aged man sneered.
"You said before that if the Devil Heart Flower is satisfied with something comprehended, then the Devil Heart Flower will open the light barrier and let the person obtain the final inheritance. There might be many people here. When the Devil Heart Flower opens the light barrier, will there be a life and death struggle? "Ying Fei asked again.
"Stupid!"
The child stuck out his tongue at Ying Fei, "Before the light barrier opens, other than the inheritor, no one else will be present."
"Alright, cherish your time to comprehend! We still have to go out and welcome the other inheritors. As for which one of you will be the final inheritor, we are very much looking forward to it! As for the final inheritor, he will also be the master that we cannot disobey. "
The old man smiled at Gu Zheng and the others, then left with the middle-aged man and the child.
"According to what these Corpse Spirits have said, this final test is not impossible to accept." Ying Fei rubbed his chin as he spoke.
"That's right. If one of us can comprehend something that satisfies the Devil Heart Flower, then we will be able to obtain the final inheritance. At that time, the Skull Palace will recognize us as its master and we will have the final say." Lang Feng said.
"We don't have any good methods to deal with the three corpse spirits. Comprehending the Devil Heart Flower seems to be a good way out."
Gu Zheng's voice paused, then he said, "However, is everything really that simple? Think about the scheme we encountered in the cave. The Thousand Corpse Old Devil has thought of many things! "
"The Thousand Corpse Old Devil has already fallen for nearly a thousand years. No one can predict everything that will happen after a thousand years. If he really did, then we would have already died in the cave. Moreover, Fellow Daoist Bai also knows that the Thousand Corpse Old Devil spent a lot of effort on everything in the Skull Palace! We have already passed the first test of the inheritance. In this final place, does the Thousand Corpse Old Devil really have so much effort to make such complicated arrangements? Actually, in my opinion, the three mysterious zombie spirits with life-saving jade talismans, and the final inheritor deciding the fate of others, these two arrangements are already very meticulous! "Lang Feng said.
"Fellow Daoist Lang's words are not without reason. However, I feel that things are not that simple." Gu Zheng frowned.
"Why do you feel that things are not that simple? Did Fellow Daoist Bai's sixth sense give you a warning? "Ying Fei asked.
"No!"
Gu Zheng shook his head. "It's purely a feeling. It might also be the experience in the cave that made my heart very tense."
"In any case, the two of you have already opened your sixth sense. You can also foresee some dangers in advance. Let's try comprehending the Devil Heart Flower first!" Ying Fei said.
"How about this! If the two of you want to comprehend it, then give it a try. I won't try to comprehend it. If something happens, I can take care of it. "
Ying Fei and Lang Feng agreed with Gu Zheng's suggestion. The two of them immediately sat down cross-legged and entered a state of comprehension.
Gu Zheng didn't try to comprehend it. He walked around the square space and used his divine sense to investigate this place. Previously, the corpse spirit didn't say that he couldn't use his divine sense to investigate this place. Therefore, even if he discovered some kind of arrangement with his divine sense, as long as he didn't touch it, there shouldn't be any danger.
Although the square space was very big, it only took him an instant to explore it with his divine sense. Gu Zheng didn't discover any kind of restriction other than the high platform.
However, after careful investigation, Gu Zheng had a very strange feeling. This feeling was indescribable. It was as if there was something hidden under the surface of the square space.
It was fine to explore on the surface, but if he went deeper, it would be against the rules. Gu Zheng wanted to ask Ying Fei and Lang Feng for their opinion. However, he found that they seemed to have realized something. One of them had a smile on his face, while the other frowned slightly.
"The corpse spirit didn't warn me about this before. It shouldn't be a problem if I go deeper, right?"
Now that the artifact spirit was in a deep slumber, there was no one to discuss this matter with. However, Gu Zheng didn't hesitate. After making up his mind, he immediately started his deep exploration.
However, as soon as he started his deep exploration, Gu Zheng's divine sense was ejected. It seemed that there was a restriction below that prevented his divine sense from exploring. Although there were many such restrictions in the entire Skeleton Palace, Gu Zheng had never seen one like this. It could be explored on the surface, but it couldn't be explored on the deeper level. Moreover, when his divine sense was ejected, Gu Zheng's Mind Calming Technique, which could automatically defend against certain mental attacks, suddenly activated.
"Why don't you try to comprehend me? Why are you interested in the walls instead? "
A young girl's voice suddenly sounded in Gu Zheng's mind.
Gu Zheng turned his head and found that the Demon Heart Flower was facing his main flower. Unknowingly, three cracks had appeared on the flower. These three cracks were two on top and one on top. Red liquid slowly flowed out from all three cracks. It was like a pair of bleeding eyes and a bleeding mouth.
"You actually have a spirit!"
Gu Zheng was shocked. He originally thought that the Demon Heart Flower was just a strange flower, but now it seemed that it wasn't just a strange flower. Being able to communicate with people in this way meant that it was a demonic flower.
"That's right, I have a spirit."
The Demon Heart Flower paused for a moment before continuing, "There are three thousand great daos. Do you want me to give you an opportunity to comprehend them?"
"Why do you want me to comprehend them? Aren't the two of them trying to comprehend you? Why don't you give them an opportunity? "Gu Zheng asked.
"Because they aren't as special as you," the Demon Heart Flower said.
"Oh? What's so special about me? "Gu Zheng asked again.
"Because there's something extraordinary in your body," the Demon Heart Flower said.
