"Why do you want to borrow the Realm Stone, Fellow Daoist Gu?" Master Scarlet Sun asked curiously.
"I need to use the Realm Stone to transmit the information inside."
Gu Zheng handed the jade slip that he had engraved in Emei to Master Scarlet Sun.
The Realm Stone contained some kind of energy from this realm. If the Realm Stone was used to transmit the information inside the jade slip, then all the cultivators in this realm would sense it! If they wanted to see the information transmitted by the Realm Stone, they only needed to think about it.
During the Flourishing Era, the Kunlun Sect often used the Realm Stone to do similar things. However, with the arrival of the Age of Chaos, the number of cultivators on Earth decreased. In addition, the Kunlun Sect's strength was also declining, and using the Realm Stone required a very high requirement. Therefore, since the Age of Chaos, the Realm Stone's ability had never been used again.
"This …"
Even though Master Scarlet Sun had killed many devil cultivators, he still couldn't help but widen his eyes when he saw the image that Gu Zheng had engraved in the jade slip.
"Senior Brother, what's wrong?"
The other cultivators looked at Master Scarlet Sun. They were very curious about what Master Scarlet Sun had seen.
Master Scarlet Sun handed the jade slip to his fellow sect members and then looked at Gu Zheng. "Fellow Daoist Gu, how long have you been back?"
"Five days." Gu Zheng replied.
"Five days!"
Master Scarlet Sun's eyes widened again. "In five days, two great devil sects. Fellow Daoist Gu is really capable!"
Master Scarlet Sun paused and continued, "Fellow Daoist Gu wants to use the Realm Stone to transmit this image. Although this method is very satisfying and domineering! However, isn't Fellow Daoist Gu afraid that this will bring endless trouble to Emei? "
"If I was afraid, I wouldn't have come to you to borrow the Realm Stone!"
Gu Zheng smiled and a cold glint flashed across his eyes. "I want to let them know that Emei isn't a pushover! I also want to anger them and make them come to Emei to cause trouble. This way, I won't have to look for them! "
If Master Scarlet Sun was shocked before, he was already shocked when he heard Gu Zheng's words. The meaning behind Gu Zheng's words was very clear. He did not fear the so-called Demonic Dao Alliance. In fact, he did not fear any of the Demonic Dao Cultivators in this world! Even if the Fiendish Cultivator didn't find trouble with them, he wouldn't let things go just like that!
Not only was Master Crimson Sun shocked, all the cultivators of the Kunlun Sect who had seen Gu Zheng's jade scroll and heard what he said were shocked! If they hadn't seen Gu Zheng's jade strip, they would have really doubted whether Gu Zheng was boasting or not.
"May I ask something that I shouldn't ask? What's Fellow Cultivator Gu's current cultivation base?" Daoist Scarlet Sun asked.
"Just like you, fellow daoist."
Gu Zheng revealed a spurious smile. Daoist Crimson Sun's heart shook as he immediately understood that his true cultivation had been seen through by Gu Zheng.
"I really don't know what to say! Fellow Cultivator Gu has only ascended to the Eldritch World for six years, yet his cultivation base has already improved to such a level. Even in the Eldritch World, it's extremely rare for someone to have such a cultivation base improvement speed! "
Daoist Crimson Sun gave Gu Zheng a thumbs up and said solemnly, "Fellow Cultivator Gu, it's not a problem if you want to borrow the Realm Stone. However, I still have to remind you that there are also people like you and me in the Demonic Dao Alliance! "
"Thank you for your reminder!"
Gu Zheng didn't say much and only thanked him with a smile.
Just like what the Artifact Spirit said before he returned, he was a sword that had been sharpened for ten years! If it was in the Eldritch World, Gu Zheng might need to keep a low profile. However, on Earth, he didn't need to keep such a low profile. Moreover, he didn't want to keep a low profile after what happened to those people who were related to him!
"There's one more thing," Daoist Crimson Sun spoke again.
"Please speak, fellow daoist," Gu Zheng said.
"I know that Fellow Cultivator Gu is an Immortal Chef and would like to ask Fellow Cultivator Gu to help cook some food to increase the cultivation of the disciples," Daoist Crimson Sun said.
"What kind of food does Fellow Cultivator want me to cook? How many portions do you need? "Gu Zheng asked.
"High-grade elemental cultivation increasing food will do. I need thirty portions. It's just to increase the strength of the middle-grade disciples in the sect," Daoist Crimson Sun said.
"No problem," Gu Zheng said.
"Great!"
Daoist Crimson Sun smiled and asked again, "Fellow Cultivator Gu, tell me about the reward!"
"Fellow Cultivator has already lent me the Realm Stone. Thirty portions of high-grade elemental cultivation increasing food. As long as Fellow Cultivator provides the ingredients, I don't need any reward!"
The Realm Stone wasn't an ordinary item, and it wasn't something that an ordinary person could use just because they wanted to! Although there wouldn't be any loss in using it, it was still a sacred item of the Kunlun Sect. Since Daoist Crimson Sun agreed to lend him the Realm Stone, Gu Zheng naturally had to return the favor.
"Fellow Cultivator is indeed a forthright person. I'll bring Fellow Cultivator to use the Realm Stone now!"
Daoist Crimson Sun laughed loudly and made an inviting gesture to Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng saw the Realm Stone. It floated in the air and was as white as jade. It hadn't been sculpted at all, but it looked like a finely sculpted coiling dragon.
Gu Zheng pressed the jade scroll against the dragon's head and probed the Realm Stone with his divine sense. Immediately, a different feeling arose in his heart. This special feeling was as if he was standing in the void and looking down at something that wasn't very big from different angles.
The feeling was very strange, but it also consumed a lot of energy! The moment Gu Zheng's divine sense probed the Realm Stone, the celestial power in his body was crazily extracted. Meanwhile, the Realm Stone's body emitted a gentle light. If he wanted to activate the Realm Stone, he had to be at the late stage of Jin Xian's cultivation. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to support the Realm Stone's absorption of celestial power.
With another thought, Gu Zheng used his divine sense to probe the jade scroll through the Realm Stone. The coiling dragon's eyes instantly opened, and even its head was slightly raised! For the Realm Stone to be able to do such a thing with its stone body, it was indeed very miraculous.
In the next second, a long dragon roar came from the coiling dragon's mouth. In Gu Zheng's perception, the thing that he was looking down at from high up in the sky seemed to tremble slightly because of this.
It hadn't been more than ten seconds since he used the Realm Stone, but Gu Zheng's celestial power had been greatly depleted! If he was really a cultivator at the late stage of Jin Xian's cultivation, then the celestial power in his body would have been reduced by about seventy to eighty percent.
Although using the Realm Stone consumed a lot of energy, the effect was very obvious. Almost at the same time the dragon roar disappeared, whether it was the Celestial Empire's cultivators or the foreign cultivators, all of them had a special feeling.
Regarding this special feeling, the cultivators all used their divine sense to capture it, and a scene immediately appeared in their minds.
In a vile man-made environment, a few demonic cultivators that didn't look human were fixed on a few tall stone pillars. They continuously let out anguished wails, which made people's hair stand on end.
Immediately after, Gu Zheng's appearance also appeared in the scene.
"Demonic bastards, I don't care if you know these people on the pillars or not, I'll introduce them to you again. They are the higher-ups of the Blood Transformation Sect, the Heavenly Demon Sect, and the two demonic cultivators of the Mysterious Underworld Sect in the ruins. "
"I'll let you see the miserable state of these people because I want to tell you that I, Gu Zheng, have returned. Whatever you owe my Emei Sect, you'll return it to me! In addition, I'll warn those demonic bastards who have designs on the Emei Sect but haven't taken action yet. Feel how many heads you have, are they enough for me to chop off? "
"If anyone is dissatisfied, come to the Emei Sect to find me! If anyone wants to provoke me, I'll definitely let them taste the feeling of living a life worse than death. These people on the pillars are your examples! "
"If anyone captures or kills Yu Yang, Xi Hao, Ding Fei, Fan Haining, and Hou Hualin, they can come to my Emei Sect to receive a reward! If you kill these people, you'll be rewarded with a high-grade celestial weapon and a middle-grade celestial fruit. If you capture these people alive, you'll be rewarded with two high-grade celestial weapons and a high-grade celestial fruit. "
The image ended here. The appearance of the wanted people appeared in everyone's mind, and they understood their Qi. Moreover, at Gu Zheng's current cultivation level, language barriers were almost non-existent. The things expressed by divine thoughts were even more accurate and universal than words.
Since the beginning of the Age of Chaos, the Boundary Stone, which had not been used by anyone, had actually transmitted such a message. This shocked the entire cultivation world!
For a time, the entire cultivation world was talking about Gu Zheng! However, it was the Celestial Empire or a foreign country.
The people of the Righteous Faction were very excited. In these years when the Righteous Faction was declining and the Demonic Faction was growing, the message transmitted by the Boundary Stone was as dazzling as the sky.
The people of the Demonic Faction were angry, and some were afraid. However, extreme behavior did not appear immediately. No one wanted to go to the Emei Sect to find something to do just because they were dissatisfied.
In any case, Gu Zheng, who was a legendary existence on Earth, had returned. His return caused the cultivation world, which was originally surging with undercurrents, to suddenly become stormy.
In the headquarters of the Demonic Alliance, there were more than twenty Demonic Cultivators gathered in an underground building that looked like a large hall. These Demonic Cultivators were all well-known figures in the Demonic Faction. Although most of them belonged to the third level of existence in the Demonic Alliance, if they were outside, they could basically represent a sect or a relatively famous Rogue Cultivator.
None of the twenty or so Demonic Cultivators in the underground building were calm. However, the scene was very quiet. Even if there was communication, it was through divine thoughts.
These Demonic Cultivators were originally at the Alliance Headquarters. After receiving the message transmitted by the Boundary Stone, they immediately came to the hall to listen to the Alliance Master's opinion.
"If you have anything to say, you can say it now."
One of the walls of the hall suddenly lit up, and a figure with a rough voice appeared behind it.
"Alliance Master, Gu Zheng used the Boundary Stone to transmit a message to the entire cultivation world. What should we do? This is really a slap to the face of the entire Demonic Faction! "A Demonic Cultivator said.
"Gu Zheng's return was an accident. However, this does not affect our plan. As for the Emei Sect, it's best that you don't provoke them in the future. "
The Alliance Master's words caused the Demonic Cultivators to look at each other. However, just like before, very few people dared to question the Alliance Master's decision because they were all afraid of death!
To the righteous alliance, the Alliance Master of the Demonic Alliance was a mystery. To the Demonic Cultivators, they had also never seen the so-called three Alliance Masters.
The Demonic Cultivators were originally arrogant and unruly. Naturally, there was a reason why they had never seen someone who could gather them to such an extent.
The people in the alliance had only heard the Alliance Master mention the existence of the Second Alliance Master and the Third Alliance Master! However, not only had they never seen them, they had never even heard of their voices. The person who had gathered them together was the Alliance Master that they were extremely afraid of. In private, they called the Alliance Master 'Nightmare'.
To the people of the Demonic Alliance, the Alliance Master was indeed their nightmare! When the Alliance Master first gathered them together, it was through the form of a nightmare.
In that nightmare, the Alliance Master mentioned that he wanted to form the Demonic Alliance. He said that there were things that would benefit everyone and emphasized his absolute authority. He also gave the Demonic Cultivators who had fallen into the nightmare a choice. However, there were only two choices. They could either live and join the alliance and listen to orders or die in the nightmare.
An ordinary person's nightmare was already very terrifying, not to mention a nightmare that the Demonic Cultivators could not break free from! Almost all the Demonic Cultivators who had experienced the Alliance Master's nightmare chose to compromise after failing to break free. They did not want to experience what they had experienced in the nightmare a second time even if they were beaten to death. Therefore, they were very afraid of the Alliance Master.
"Alliance Master, Gu Zheng did such a thing to the Demonic Sect, the Profound Underworld Sect, and the Blood Transformation Sect. Are we really going to let it go just like that?" Yu Yang mustered up his courage and asked.
"Of course not. I'm just asking you to bear with it for a while. All this time, because the time was not ripe, I did not tell you the details of the plan. However, what I can tell you now is that the time will be ripe soon. Once our plan succeeds, the alliance of the righteous sects will be nothing! When that time comes, if you want to take revenge, it will be easy! "
The Alliance Master's words undoubtedly gave the Demonic Cultivators a pleasant surprise! After all, before this, they did not understand the so-called plan at all. They did not even have a rough date. However, the Alliance Master, who did not speak empty words, said that the time would be ripe soon. This made them feel as if they were about to see the light of dawn.
"Alright, is there nothing else? If there is nothing else, you may leave! "the Alliance Master said.
"Nothing else."
The Demonic Cultivators had come this time because of Gu Zheng. Now that they had a countermeasure to deal with Gu Zheng, they had nothing else to say.
"During this period of time, if there is nothing particularly important, stay in the alliance for the time being. As long as you are not tired of living, don't provoke the Emei Sect."
As soon as the Alliance Master finished speaking, his figure disappeared from behind the stone wall. The stone wall, which was originally lit up, dimmed.
The Demonic Cultivators no longer had the previous anxiety on their faces. They began to leave the main hall in twos and threes.
"Fellow Daoist Yu, congratulations!"
A sarcastic voice sounded in Yu Yang's mind.
Yu Yang did not need to look to know that the face of the person who spoke was filled with unwillingness.
"Can I take your words as sarcasm?"
Yu Yang turned around and looked at the skinny middle-aged man who had transmitted his voice to him.
"I'm just congratulating you. You can interpret it however you like!"
The middle-aged man did not intend to say anything more to Yu Yang. He snorted coldly and left.
Looking at the middle-aged man's back, Yu Yang's expression not only softened, but a hint of relief also flashed in his eyes.
Indeed, relief lingered in Yu Yang's heart. He had thought that after the Heavenly Demonic Sect had suffered heavy losses, it was inevitable that they would fall from the second-tier position in the alliance.
However, what Yu Yang had not expected was that the Alliance Master had made his decision regarding the heavy losses suffered by the Heavenly Demonic Sect and the Blood Transformation Sect yesterday.
According to the Alliance Master's words, he liked subordinates who were sensible and obedient. When the alliance was first formed, the Heavenly Demonic Sect and the Blood Transformation Sect were not only outstanding in strength, but the upper echelons of the sect were also very sensible. After joining the alliance, they were also very obedient. Therefore, he could not let such excellent subordinate sects fall from the second tier of power just because they had suffered a blow and felt that they had lost their value!
Although the Heavenly Demonic Sect and the Blood Transformation Sect were not very strong now, this did not have much of an impact. There were some Demonic Cultivators who had performed well in the alliance, so the Alliance Master had assigned them to the Heavenly Demonic Sect and the Blood Transformation Sect. As for the position of the leader of the Heavenly Demonic Sect, it was still held by Yu Yang.
How could Yu Yang not be glad that such a thing had happened? Originally, he thought that his position in the alliance would plummet, but the result was unexpected. He was still the Sect Master of the Heavenly Demonic Sect, and the Heavenly Demonic Sect was still the second-tier power in the alliance. There were also new Demonic Cultivators joining the sect, so the originally dim Heavenly Demonic Sect emitted a light again.
As for the middle-aged man just now, his sect was very likely to become a new second-tier power, but because of the Alliance Master's decision, it was ruined. How could he, who had just returned to the alliance today and had just received the news not long ago, not be jealous?!
"Sect Master, what do you think we should do with those guys?"
Walking beside Yu Yang, a Demonic Cultivator who had just joined the Heavenly Demonic Sect sneered. The 'guys' he mentioned were the four Demonic Cultivators, Xi Hao, Ding Fei, Fan Haining, and Hou Hualin.
"These four despicable bastards!"
At the mention of Xi Hao and the other three, Yu Yang's face was also full of sneers. The mockery and ridicule he had received outside Morning Clouds Island that day was still vivid in his mind.
That day, when he went to inform the four Demonic Cultivators of Morning Clouds Island, Yu Yang did indeed have the intention to use them as tools, but at the same time, he only wanted them to block them for a while so that he could return to the alliance to get reinforcements.
After returning to the alliance, the Alliance Master was not there, so Yu Yang could not immediately see him.
However, the four Demonic Cultivators quickly arrived at the Alliance's rendezvous point, so Yu Yang could only let people bring them in first.
Yu Yang was naturally angry that the four Demonic Cultivators had taken the initiative to give up Morning Clouds Island, but the four Demonic Cultivators answered Yu Yang's question by saying that they were not yet members of the alliance. At the same time, the four Demonic Cultivators promised Yu Yang that if Yu Yang could help them become a second-tier power in the Alliance of the Demonic Dao, then they would owe Yu Yang a big favor!
At this point, Yu Yang had no other choice but to follow the original plan. When he met the Alliance Master, he would recommend the four Demonic Cultivators to him to become a second-tier power in the Alliance of the Demonic Dao.
When Yu Yang met the Alliance Master, it was already yesterday. Moreover, when he recommended the four Demonic Cultivators to the Alliance Master, it happened before the Alliance Master generously treated him.
Regarding Yu Yang's recommendation, the Alliance Master told him something that Yu Yang did not expect. The Alliance Master did not plan to use the four Demonic Cultivators at all!
Due to his lack of understanding of the Alliance Master, Yu Yang wanted to rope in the four Demonic Cultivators. In the past, when the Alliance members tried to rope in the four Demonic Cultivators, they also had the same idea! However, they did not expect that the four Demonic Cultivators were not the people that the Alliance Master wanted.
After such a thing happened, the situation became a bit awkward. Although the Alliance Master did not want to use the four Demonic Cultivators, he did not show any dissatisfaction with them. This made Yu Yang not know how to explain this matter to the four Demonic Cultivators.
Time dragged on for a day. Now, the four Demonic Cultivators were still in the Alliance of the Demonic Dao, still waiting for Yu Yang's reply.
