'Shattering the void' was really huge. Even if Gu Zheng's luck was not bad, by the time he found a suitable spatial node, a day had already passed.
Entering the spatial node was the black hole. Due to the short time, Gu Zheng and Butterfly Spirit did not encounter any danger in the black hole.
It was still impossible to pinpoint the exact location when they returned to Earth from the black hole. Gu Zheng and the others still appeared on the surface of the sea. However, this sea was not too far from the Celestial Empire, so it would not take long to fly back.
Gu Zheng planned to make a trip to Kunlun first to check on the situation there before returning to Mount Shu.
On the way to Kunlun, Gu Zheng frowned. Due to the destruction of the Kunlun Ruins, the blood Qi had spread to Earth. Along the way, he saw many people who had been attacked by the blood Qi, as well as some spiritual beasts and Nether Spring Blood Tribe that originally belonged to the Kunlun Ruins.
The residents of the Celestial Empire were also panicking about these species that they had never seen before, but they were not particularly shocked. After all, after the recovery of immortal essence, the era had changed greatly.
Before entering the Kunlun Mountains, Gu Zheng saw a strange scene in the sky. A large part of the destroyed Kunlun Ruins was floating above the Kunlun Mountains, as if it was two different worlds.
An immortal cultivator wearing the uniform of the Taishan Sect sensed that someone was flying behind him. He turned around and was overjoyed.
"Senior Gu!"
The immortal cultivator stopped in the air and bowed to Gu Zheng from afar.
Gu Zheng took a look. This immortal cultivator was rather young, but his cultivation was already at the middle stage of the Soul Formation realm.
"You may dispense with the formalities!"
Although Gu Zheng did not know this person, many people on Earth knew him.
"Everyone was worried that something would happen to Senior Gu. It's great to see you back!" The immortal cultivator said happily.
"Let's go. Tell me what happened after the Kunlun Ruins was destroyed!" Gu Zheng said.
Through the immortal cultivator of the Taishan Sect, Gu Zheng learned that after the Kunlun Ruins was destroyed, a part of it smashed towards the Kunlun Mountains like a meteor.
Fortunately, Yue Qiushui and the rest were in Kunlun. Facing the meteor-like falling rocks, they used their methods to minimize the impact. However, the minimal impact was only the impact of the falling rocks on the Kunlun Mountains. The scattered blood Qi was not within their control.
Now, the blood qi had spread over a large area. Many provinces in the Celestial Empire had been affected by it, and the blood qi was constantly spreading. After all, the Blood Qi could turn someone into a member of the Nether Spring Blood Clan, and the Nether Spring Blood Clan could infect other creatures too.
Furthermore, the Ruins of Shu, which did not have much lifespan left, was about to die. The King of Nightmares had mobilized the Demonic Weapons in the Ruins of Shu. This was a huge blow to the Ruins of Shu! Although Yue Qiushui and the others were still in Kunlun, they planned to return today.
When Gu Zheng arrived at the Kunlun Sect, Yue Qiushui and the rest were still busy. Since the shattered Kunlun Ruins was already floating above Kunlun Mountain, they would let it float there forever! What Yue Qiushui and the others were busy with was to set up an immortal array to stabilize the Floating Mountain, which could fall at any time, and turn it into a place suitable for cultivation.
Yue Qiushui and the others were very happy to see Gu Zheng return and hear that the King of Nightmares was dead. The two unparalleled Demonic Weapons had also self-destructed in the void.
With the addition of Gu Zheng, the immortal arrays that needed to be set up were quickly set up.
When he left the Kunlun Sect, Gu Zheng left three immortal cultivators in Kunlun.
The current Kunlun Sect only existed in name. There was not a single immortal cultivator in the sect. Although the Demonic Dao Alliance was basically finished, they had to be wary of the remaining members of the Demonic Dao Alliance. They might take the opportunity to destroy the Kunlun Sect. After all, the Kunlun Dragon Vein was related to the destiny of the righteous path on Earth and many other things.
After returning to Mount Shu, Gu Zheng first went to check on the situation of the Ruins of Shu.
It was like a dying person. Even if he did not enter the Ruins of Shu, Gu Zheng could still feel the smell of decay.
"Uncle-Master, how is it?" Yue Qiushui, who was following behind Gu Zheng, asked.
"Tomorrow at noon, the Ruins of Shu will shatter!" Gu Zheng frowned.
"Uncle-Master."
Yue Qiushui called out to Gu Zheng and handed over two golden pearls the size of cherries.
Gu Zheng took the pearls and was in a daze.
"Uncle-Master, the imperial court has sent people. They want us to stop this crisis. They also want to see you!"
There was no imperial court on Earth, but Yue Qiushui was used to calling him that.
"Where are they now?" Gu Zheng asked.
"They are outside the main hall of Mount Shu." Yue Qiushui said.
"Let them wait!"
Gu Zheng sighed and said, "Tell everyone when the Ruins of Shu will be destroyed. Let everyone prepare."
"Okay!"
Yue Qiushui accepted the order and left. Gu Zheng's body disappeared and entered the Chaos Space.
"Master!"
When it saw Gu Zheng enter the Desolate Space, the butterfly spirit, which had been cultivating in the Desolate Space, immediately rushed over happily.
Gu Zheng smiled and stroked Die Ling's hair. Die Ling blinked and said, "Master is not happy? Is there something on your mind? "
Although Die Ling and Gu Zheng's minds were connected, neither Gu Zheng nor Die Ling could see through the other's thoughts at a glance. When they wanted to understand each other's thoughts, there would be a restriction of authority!
For example, Gu Zheng knew that Die Ling wanted to know what he was thinking, but he didn't want Die Ling to know. Thus, Die Ling couldn't know and vice versa.
"Yes, there is something on my mind." Gu Zheng forced a smile.
"Master, is it about the Ruins of Shu being destroyed, the blood energy running rampant, and the lives being wiped out?"
Die Ling's voice was very gentle, knowing that Gu Zheng was a bit frustrated.
"Yes, it is because of this."
Gu Zheng's brows that had just relaxed furrowed again.
"I have never seen master so worried. Is the blood energy's spread hard to control?" Die Ling asked again.
"It is definitely difficult, but it is not uncontrollable. However, what he is worried about is not whether or not he can control the blood energy, but something related to the blood energy's spread! "The artifact spirit said.
"Good sister, tell me what is it! Looking at Master's unhappy expression, I'm very anxious! "Butterfly Spirit pleaded.
Seeing Die Ling so anxious, Gu Zheng bitterly smiled, "I will tell you!"
"This time, I returned to Earth to collect wish power and pure faith power. Originally, if the several islands I had overseas hadn't been destroyed by the demonic path, I wouldn't have needed to worry about the power of hope and pure faith power. But now that they've been destroyed, it will take me a very long time to gather the amount I need again! The spread of blood energy is a disaster, but it's an opportunity for me. If I can appear when the mortals are in dire straits, whether it's the Power of Will or the pure Power of Faith, they will quickly reach the amount I need. "
Gu Zheng paused for a moment before continuing, "However, this is my hometown. Do I really have to do this?"
Gu Zheng's gaze was a bit erratic. His last sentence seemed to be asking Die Ling and the artifact spirit, but it also seemed like he was asking himself.
"Don't worry about it! If you want to see Lord Gokusen sooner, you have to return to the wilderness sooner. However, once you return to the wilderness, it will be very difficult to collect these things! This is an opportunity. Once you miss this village, you won't have this opportunity again! "
The artifact spirit's voice was very serious. Seeing that Gu Zheng didn't say anything, she spoke again with a gentle tone, "It's not like these disasters haven't happened in your hometown before. A few people dying isn't a big deal. Think about the spotted flower virus. How much wish power and pure faith power did it allow you to obtain? Moreover, collecting these things isn't to prevent you from saving them. It's just to let them suffer a bit and die a few people before saving them. When the time comes, you can just close your eyes and not think so much. "
"This matter is different from the spotted flower virus. I wasn't the one who released the spotted flower virus. The blood Qi in the Kunlun Ruins is also not within my control! However, I can control the blood Qi in the Shu Ruins. How do you want me to close my eyes and not think so much? This is my hometown after all! If I close my eyes, many people will have to die if I want to achieve my goal! "Gu Zheng frowned.
"You're an immortal cultivator. It's not good to be overly concerned about mortals!" The artifact spirit shook her head.
"I know that I can't guard this place forever. I also know that once I leave Earth this time, I'm afraid I won't be able to return. Therefore, I don't want to leave with any guilt!"
Gu Zheng smiled and made up his mind, "It's decided then. I won't let the blood Qi in the Shu Ruins spread. Even if I don't want the wish power and pure faith power, I don't want to feel guilty!"
The artifact spirit sighed and said, "You're already Daluo Jinxian, but there are still some things that you can't let go of! I'll forget about this matter this time and do as you've decided. However, you really can't do this again in the future! It's too easy to have a knot in your heart because of one thing. This won't be good for your future cultivation! "
"Humans have things to do and things not to do!"
Gu Zhengchong made a funny face at the artifact spirit. Not only did he manage to make her laugh, she even rolled her eyes at him. "Hmph, let's see where you're going to get Wish Power and pure Faith Power this time!"
"Master, can you tell me the details about the wish power and pure faith power?" The butterfly spirit asked.
Gu Zheng had taught the butterfly spirit some things before, but he couldn't cover everything. Now that the butterfly spirit asked about the wish power and pure faith power, Gu Zheng first sent the information about these two mysterious powers into the jade slip for her to see. Then he said, "Now you don't have to sleep so often. When you're free, go to Shu Mountain or Emei's library. You can learn a lot there."
The butterfly spirit shook her head like a rattle drum, "I've never read before, but I want to learn through reading. It's not that interesting! Master, you should be dealing with the remnants of the Demonic Dao Alliance soon right? When the time comes, I'll just capture a few demonic cultivators and soul search them. Wouldn't I know everything then? "
Gu Zheng couldn't help but smile at the butterfly spirit's' laziness', "Do whatever you want! However, you'll see all kinds of things through soul searching. Learn what you should and don't learn what you shouldn't! "
"I know!"
The butterfly spirit stuck out her tongue at Gu Zheng and quickly looked through the contents of the jade slip that Gu Zheng gave her. Then she rolled her eyes and said, "Master, collecting wish power and pure faith power isn't that difficult!"
"Hm?"
Gu Zheng frowned, "What do you mean?"
"If master does as big sister says, then does master think it'll be difficult to collect wish power and pure faith power?" The butterfly spirit asked.
"If I really do that, then collecting wish power and pure faith power naturally won't be that difficult!" Gu Zheng smiled bitterly.
"There are some things that master wants to nip in the bud when they're about to happen! Master also wants to deal with the things that are happening as soon as possible. Therefore, it'll be difficult to collect wish power and pure faith power. "
The butterfly spirit paused and then said proudly, "However, these problems aren't problems for me. I have a way to deal with them that'll satisfy everyone!"
"Tell me, what's the way to deal with them?"
Gu Zheng became spirited. The butterfly spirit was not an ordinary divine beast. Gu Zheng didn't know how many abilities she had.
"Everything will still be according to master's decision. However, I'll use some methods to make the things that would happen if master wasn't here happen again in the form of a nightmare! Then wouldn't it be easy to collect wish power and pure faith power? "The butterfly spirit blinked and said.
Gu Zheng thought for a moment and shook his head, "Wish power is the mental energy that people produce when they have high expectations for something! Let's not talk about how difficult it is to implement the method you mentioned. Let people experience it in a dream and then wake up. Everything will be fine. Why would they have high expectations? As for the pure power of faith, its production can't be interfered with and induced by people who know the purpose! "
"Master has told me about the production method and taboo of the Power of Will and the pure Power of Faith in the jade slip. How can I forget it so quickly?"
The butterfly spirit covered her mouth and chuckled. "Master can leave it to me! In my entire plan, most of the things will be completed by me. Master can rest assured and wait to collect wish power and pure faith power! "
Gu Zheng smiled. It wasn't that he didn't trust the butterfly spirit. It was just that he was used to having doubts in the face of inconceivable things.
"Alright! Then I won't ask you how you're going to do it. I'll just look at the results! If you handle this matter well, Master will make you whatever you want to eat when the time comes! "Gu Zheng said.
"Alright, it's a deal!" The butterfly spirit said eagerly.
After not staying in the chaotic space for long, Gu Zheng felt a lot more relaxed after returning to the real world. He decided to meet the people from the imperial court.
There were two people from the imperial court. One was a cultivator at the pinnacle of the Return to Void Pinnacle Stage and the other was a representative from the imperial court.
The cultivator who accompanied the imperial court representative was an itinerant cultivator. Gu Zheng had seen him before he ascended. His name was Gao Yuan.
Gao Yuan was naturally very polite when he saw Gu Zheng. As for the imperial court representative, although he tried his best to perform well, he still couldn't help but sweat profusely when facing Gu Zheng. After all, although he was a mortal, he was still able to come into contact with cultivators. He was a high-level figure who understood the major events of the cultivation world! Whether it was before Gu Zheng ascended or what he did this time, he also knew a lot about it! Therefore, even though Gu Zheng was very easy-going, Gu Zheng only needed to look at him and he would still feel immense pressure. This was because in his eyes, Gu Zheng was bigger than a mountain!
Gao Yuan and the imperial court representative came for a total of two things. One was to ask the current leader of the Righteous Dao, Shu Mountain, to think of a way to quickly quell the crisis brought about by the blood qi. The other thing was to ask Shu Mountain to send someone down the mountain to help.
Regarding the first thing, Gu Zheng naturally agreed. Regardless of whether there was anyone asking him or not, Earth was his hometown. He would do his part for such a crisis. As for the second thing, Gu Zheng also agreed. It was just that this matter was not too urgent. Gu Zheng's answer was to send someone down the mountain to deal with it later.
"Really grateful to Senior!"
"Exalted Immortal, I thank you on behalf of the people!"
The answer Gu Zheng gave made Gao Yuan and the imperial court representative very excited. The two people both stood up and thanked Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng smiled and waved his hand. "Alright, I still have things to deal with. I won't keep you guys to chat anymore."
Hearing Gu Zheng say so, Gao Yuan hurriedly opened his mouth and said, "Senior, then we'll take our leave now!"
"Exalted Immortal, there's one more thing!"
The imperial court representative seemed to have thought of something and hurriedly opened his mouth.
"En?"
Gu Zheng looked at the imperial court representative.
The imperial court representative told Gu Zheng one thing. This thing was inevitable because of the different situation. It was also related to the pure power of faith that Gu Zheng wanted to collect.
During the Flourishing Era, cultivators were known to the ordinary people. At that time, temples and Taoist temples were generally full of incense and had collected pure power of faith. Whichever force supported the imperial court, the more incense the force in the secular world would have! In fact, the various forces would even fight over the Joss Flame, which was the pure power of faith.
The Age of Chaos was a new era. The exhaustion of Celestial Core Power caused cultivation to become a legend. In addition, the cultivation world had its own rules that it was not easy to interfere with secular affairs. The flourishing incense in the major temples and Taoist temples had become a scene in history.
The temples and Taoist temples themselves did not attach much importance to incense. After all, even if they got the pure power of faith, it was not a mysterious power that they could use or would use! In addition, with the exhaustion of Celestial Core Power on Earth, the forces behind them had either fallen or given up on the low-level Earth! Therefore, in the Age of Chaos, temples and Taoist temples had almost no real meaning to exist.
But now, the recovery of Celestial Core Power had led to the arrival of a new era. No matter from which point of view, the imperial court needed to find a real backer!
In the past, the imperial court had looked for the Kunlun Sect. As the leader of the righteous sects, the Kunlun Sect could not ignore the imperial court's affairs. But now, the Kunlun Sect was almost dead. Although the imperial court's strength was Mount Shu, it was looking for Gu Zheng!
After Gao Yuan and the imperial court representative left, only Gu Zheng and Yue Qiushui were left in the main hall of Mount Shu. Yue Qiushui looked at Gu Zheng, who seemed to be in a daze, and could not help laughing.
"Martial Uncle, what do you think of this matter?"
Yue Qiushui looked at Gu Zheng and smiled mischievously.
"It's a hot potato. What else can I think of?" Gu Zheng smiled slightly.
"In fact, it's not that hot. If Martial Uncle wants it, just fight for it!" Yue Qiushui said seriously.
"Oh? In that case, the sect hasn't mentioned this matter yet? "
The sect Gu Zheng was talking about was Mount Shu in the Untainted Land.
