The 'Star Strike' in the jade slip wasn't some kind of Divine Will Imparting Skill. It was a very three-dimensional star map. It was said that as long as one could gain something from this star map, they would be able to cultivate the 'Star Strike'.
Looking at the star map that he couldn't make any sense of, Gu Zheng asked the Tool Spirit, "Have there been many people who have cultivated this thing since ancient times?"
"Not bad. There should be more than ten people!" the Tool Spirit replied.
"Are you sure you didn't give me a fake? There should be a lot of fakes of this kind of thing! "
Since he was a little depressed, Gu Zheng seriously teased the Tool Spirit.
"Do you think Lord Gokusen would collect fakes?" The Tool Spirit rolled its eyes at Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng chuckled and didn't say anything else. He sent a wisp of his Divine Will into the star map.
The star map was very mysterious. There were thousands of stars densely packed in it. Gu Zheng's Divine Will wandered in it. From time to time, it would touch a star, and from time to time, it would touch another star. However, he didn't gain anything special.
An hour had passed in the space of the Taotie statue. In the real world, three hours had passed.
The somewhat tired Gu Zheng withdrew his Divine Will from the star map. After putting away the star map, he planned to slowly gnaw on this hard bone when he had time in the future.
Seeing that Gu Zheng was no longer studying the star map, the Tool Spirit asked, "What are you going to do next?"
"Next, I'm going to learn the five culinary skills from the mission reward," Gu Zheng said.
One of the five culinary skills he was rewarded with after mastering his culinary skills was related to 'Fleeting Youth'. However, Gu Zheng had already awakened his Dao Heart, so this culinary skill was not very useful to him. As for the other four culinary skills, they were related to the improvement of his Dao Eye!
Gu Zheng sent his Divine Will into the jade slip and quickly learned the five culinary skills.
The five culinary skills had one thing in common. Most of the ingredients required were the Medium- and Excellent-Grade ingredients from the Mastery of Cooking mission reward.
Since he had learned the new culinary skills, Gu Zheng decided to cook each dish once.
Among the five culinary skills, one of them would have 'Fleeting Youth' appear. Gokusen rewarded Gu Zheng with this culinary skill because he wanted to see if Gu Zheng could awaken his Dao Heart after he mastered the culinary skill.
According to the recipe, Gu Zheng took out six ingredients. With his Dao Heart, he immediately knew when 'Fleeting Youth' would appear and how to control it! This was the benefit of having a Dao Heart. As long as he knew the recipe, even if he didn't know the steps, Gu Zheng could easily deal with 'Fleeting Youth'. When he was free, he would go through all the ingredients in his hands and memorize all the information that his Dao Heart could sense. When the time came, he would be able to use this information to deduce the changes that would occur when the ingredients were combined.
The first thing Gu Zheng cooked was the ingredient that could produce 'Fleeting Youth'. Following his smooth cooking, the 'Fleeting Youth' that had been suppressed appeared, and the original taste of the food was enhanced. The aroma was so appetizing that it made people drool.
Die Ling was in luck today. After tasting the 'Fleeting Youth' with Gu Zheng, she eagerly waited for the other four delicacies.
After processing all the ingredients, Gu Zheng began to cook the next four dishes.
According to the artifact spirit, the next four dishes would allow Gu Zheng to cultivate his Dao Eye to a deeper level. However, the jade slips that recorded these four dishes were different from the ones that Gu Zheng used to learn cooking.
When Gu Zheng used to learn cooking, the jade slips had Gokusen's image. The image would impart knowledge to Gu Zheng using his Divine Sense, allowing Gu Zheng to master the dish in an extremely short amount of time. At the same time, he would have a better understanding of the dish. However, this time, there were only recipes in the jade slips of the four culinary skills. There was no Glutton Immortal's divine will projection.
However, Gu Zheng had both the Dao Eye and Dao Heart. As long as he had the recipe, he would know the best way to cook the ingredients! Therefore, even if he didn't have the recipe, it wouldn't affect him much.
After Gu Zheng finished cooking the four delicacies, Die Ling couldn't wait any longer and immediately opened a bottle of immortal wine.
The sound of wine cups clinking sounded. Die Ling drank the immortal wine in one gulp and looked at Gu Zheng pitifully, "Master, can we eat now?"
The four dishes were served one after another. Butterfly Spirit didn't need to help with the cooking, so she just obediently sat at the table and waited. She didn't know how many times she had swallowed her saliva as she watched the delicious dishes being served one after another.
"Yes." Gu Zheng nodded.
Die Ling chuckled. She picked up the Snow Jade Root that was as white and tender as a bamboo shoot and put it into her mouth. Immediately, a crisp sound was heard and a unique fragrance spread out as she chewed.
Gu Zheng also started eating, but he wasn't as intoxicated as Die Ling. His expression was relatively calm as if he was thinking about something.
"Master, is the Dao Eye's cultivation effect not obvious?"
Die Ling put down her chopsticks. Although she was a foodie, if Gu Zheng was in a bad mood, delicious food would be like wax to her.
"It's indeed not obvious! But this isn't a problem. If I do it a few more times, it will definitely achieve the desired effect. "
Gu Zheng picked up some food for Die Ling and indicated that she didn't need to worry.
Seeing that Gu Zheng was really fine, Die Ling happily continued to taste the delicacies.
Gu Zheng originally thought that the four dishes that could allow him to cultivate a deeper level of the Dao Eye would have an obvious difference when cooked. However, during the cooking process, there was nothing different about the four dishes and they didn't give him any different feelings.
"Artifact Spirit, what's the matter with cultivating a deeper level of the Dao Eye?" Gu Zheng asked.
"You finally remembered to ask me?" The artifact spirit snorted.
"When cooking, I wanted to experience the joy of discovery. But after cooking, I realized that the joy I wanted didn't appear!" Gu Zheng smiled helplessly.
"It's a good thing you didn't ask before. Even if you asked me, I wouldn't know!"
The artifact spirit suddenly laughed with a bit of pride in teasing him. These two days, Gu Zheng had often teased her and she had always remembered it in her heart!
Gu Zheng rolled his eyes at the artifact spirit. "We're talking about serious matters!"
"I'm talking about serious matters! Lord Gokusen only told me that the dishes recorded in the four jade slips would allow you to cultivate a deeper level of the Dao Eye. He didn't say much about other matters! "
The artifact spirit's voice paused and then said, "What's wrong? The jade slips don't have Divine Thought Imparting?"
"How do you know there's no Divine Thought Imparting?" Gu Zheng asked.
"Stupid! If there's Divine Thought Imparting, there'll naturally be a detailed explanation. You don't need to ask me! "The artifact spirit rolled her eyes.
"Alright! Perhaps only by doing it a few more times will I be able to find out what the problem is, "Gu Zheng muttered.
"Now that you've achieved great success in cooking, it's not strange that the contents of the jade slips that Lord Gokusen rewarded you are extremely simple! After all, when it comes to cooking, there are many things that you don't need him to explain in detail. However, since Lord Gokusen said that the dishes recorded in the four jade slips would allow you to cultivate a deeper level of the Dao Eye, then they'll definitely allow you to cultivate! As for where the problem lies, it's definitely because you haven't cooked enough times, so you're still unable to discover some differences. After all, cooking these dishes is to allow your Dao Eye to advance to a deeper level. This will definitely require a process! "
Gu Zheng understood the principles that the artifact spirit spoke of. However, he hadn't been able to comprehend Star Annihilation today, and the results he wanted to see with the four culinary skills hadn't appeared, so he couldn't help but feel slightly depressed in his heart.
"I seem to have been living quite smoothly all this time. I've only cultivated for a few years, yet my cultivation has already reached its current level. As for my realm, I've even comprehended many Laws that are enviable! Now, with a little setback, it's inevitable that some depression and irritation will appear in my heart. It seems that my state of mind is still not stable enough. I need to go into seclusion for a period of time to stabilize my state of mind! "Gu Zheng said.
"Yes, there are two sides to everything. While you're rapidly improving, the stability of your state of mind hasn't kept up with this speed, so it's not surprising that you have such negative emotions. However, you're already very good. At least you've seen where your shortcomings are. If you can't see such shortcomings and do things according to your own temperament, then you won't be far from being possessed by the devil. "
Gu Zheng nodded, "Some things really can't be rushed. It seems that I'll have to cultivate for a period of time."
After the meal, Gu Zheng summoned the higher-ups of the Emei Sect and told them that he would be in seclusion for three months. Then, he prepared food for the disciples in the sect who needed to improve their cultivation.
Now that he had the Taotie statue, Gu Zheng's so-called three months of seclusion was actually nine months of seclusion! In the history of Gu Zheng's cultivation, this was already the longest seclusion he had ever gone through.
For Gu Zheng, the most important thing for nine months of seclusion was to cultivate his state of mind. Secondly, he could do some things that could be done in a quiet state, such as recording the information of the Heart of Tao of all the ingredients on hand. During these nine months, Gu Zheng didn't cook, didn't cultivate immortal skills, and didn't do anything that went against his state of mind.
Sitting cross-legged in the space of the Taotie statue, Gu Zheng seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep. Even his brows rarely furrowed.
For an immortal cultivator, nine months of seclusion was very short. Whether it was to cultivate his state of mind or to comprehend the existence of the Tao, this wonderful process was really easy. It was very similar to sleeping.
During these nine months, Gu Zheng woke up once and recorded the information of the Heart of Tao of all the ingredients.
Gu Zheng came out of seclusion. After nine months of recuperation, he looked so energetic.
After coming out of seclusion, Gu Zheng summoned the upper echelons of the sect and asked about what had happened during this time. Then, he cooked a table of delicious food and had a gathering with the upper echelons of the sect.
After that, Gu Zheng left Emei. The reason why he set the seclusion period to three months in the real world was because he wanted to fulfill his promise to the world. He wanted to meet with those who wanted to meet him.
Because there were too many people who wanted to meet Gu Zheng, a single place was definitely not enough. Therefore, there were many places like this in every country. This was the deployment that Gu Zheng had made when he was consolidating his faith all over the world.
In the following period of time, Gu Zheng began to rush between various countries. The scene of each meeting was very lively! After all, these people who wanted to meet Gu Zheng were all mortals. Whenever Gu Zheng casually showed them some tricks, they would go crazy and scream or faint.
These people who met with Gu Zheng were basically Gu Zheng's believers. At each meeting, Gu Zheng would also use immortal arts to do something beneficial for them. First, it was to thank them for providing the power of will and faith. Second, it was to consolidate their faith.
Crazily collecting the Power of Hope and pure Power of Faith, Gu Zheng's actions naturally made many people jealous. But they could only hide their jealousy in their hearts. When Gu Zheng was dealing with the matter of the ancient temple, he had already dealt with those who dared to oppose him!
However, nothing was absolute. After all, due to the Chaos Tribulation, the earth had increased a lot of immortal cultivators during this time.
Among all the countries on earth, the United States was a big country.
During the Age of Chaos, the cultivators of the United States could not be compared to the Celestial Empire. After all, the Celestial Empire had a very strong foundation.
However, with the advent of the Age of Chaos, especially in this year, many cultivators who had returned from the Untainted Land had gone to the United States.
Although the Celestial Empire was still the majority of the immortal cultivators in the various countries on earth, the United States, which was originally ranked fourth, had risen to the second place.
Four months ago, there was an undercurrent in the cultivation world of the United States. All the cultivation sects in the country had been unified by an organization called the Mi Xing Alliance.
The Mi Xing Alliance had unified the cultivation sects in the United States. However, they had used some methods to target the higher-ups of these cultivation sects. Therefore, on the surface, these sects looked the same as before. The Mi Xing Alliance had done this secretly. At least, the immortal cultivators in the Celestial Empire did not know about it.
Rocky Mountain Range, United States.
As the largest mountain range in the United States, the Rocky Mountain Range had many beautiful places. There were several immortal cultivator sects here, and the Mi Xing Alliance was one of them.
On the surface, it looked like an ordinary mountain forest. However, when Morgan, who was flying in the air, landed and shuttled through the mountain forest, the scene in front of him suddenly changed.
In front of him was a tall building with a very western style. It looked like the doorway of a city gate. It was the mountain gate of the Mi Xing Alliance.
Occasionally, the sound of birds chirping could be heard in the air. Looking through the mountain gate, there was a long flight of stairs with no end in sight.
Morgan was the main member of the Mi Xing Alliance. As a vampire, his real strength was equivalent to that of a late-stage immortal cultivator like Jin Xian.
Looking at the huge mountain gate, Morgan lifted his feet and walked forward.
"Chirp!
Chirp! "There were several statues of strange beasts on the mountain gate. Among them, a statue of a Four-legged Flamingo suddenly came to life. It spread its wings and flew down the mountain gate. It stood in front of Morgan and looked down at him.
The Four-legged Flamingo was one of the guardian beasts of the Mi Xing Alliance. Its daily job was to check the true identity of those who entered the mountain.
A pair of bird eyes shot out dense flames. This kind of extreme Yang energy emission made Morgan, who was a vampire, very uncomfortable.
Morgan shook his head, and the bones in his body cracked. He changed from a strong western man to a thin and weak half-human half-bat monster.
"Roar …"
A roar came out of Morgan's mouth. His two snow-white teeth were immediately covered by a layer of bloody light.
After confirming that Morgan was not a fake, the Four-legged Flamingo flapped its wings and flew back to the mountain gate. It turned back into a statue again.
Morgan stepped forward again. The original half-human half-bat figure gradually turned back into a western man in the process of moving forward.
When he came to the main hall of the Mi Xing Alliance, Morgan saw three men and a woman.
Two of the three men looked like old men. One of them had gray hair and was wearing a white magic robe. The other one had black hair and was wearing a robe with scriptures all over it. As for the remaining man and woman, the man looked like a child. The woman looked very beautiful, but she was not much taller than the man who looked like a child.
The Mi Xing Alliance did not have a leader. There were only the five elders who founded the Mi Xing Alliance. They were the white-robed old man Lu Qiefu, the exquisite beauty Uduo Lili, the black-robed old man Samande, and the little one Katris. As for the other elder, he had already gone into seclusion five months ago. He would be coming out of seclusion in the next two days.
Morgan had joined the Mi Xing Alliance earlier. Therefore, his position in the Mi Xing Alliance was only second to the five elders.
"Our Morgan is back!"
The third elder, Uduo Lili, was the first to speak. Her voice sounded a little too enthusiastic. Her laughter made Morgan shiver.
"Yes, I'm back!"
Morgan found a place to sit down. He did not dare to look at Uduo Lili. He was afraid that this beautiful, but terrifying woman would tear his skinny body into pieces again during the sparring session. Although being torn into pieces would not be fatal to Morgan, it would still be very painful.
"Morgan, what's the situation outside?" The first elder, Lu Qiefu, asked.
"Gu Zheng has already arrived in the Mi Xing Alliance. He will go to the first venue to meet the people this afternoon." Morgan said.
"According to his schedule, he will go to the first venue in the afternoon. The day after tomorrow, he will go to the seventh venue. At that time, we will wait for him there."
The fifth elder, Katris, looked like a child. However, his voice did not sound immature. Instead, it was hoarse and unpleasant to the ears.
"Is Gu Zheng alone?" The fourth elder, Samande, asked.
"That's right. He is alone."
Morgan's voice paused. Then, he said, "Four elders, you have searched the souls of the cultivators of the Celestial Empire. You know some legends about Gu Zheng. However, we don't have a clear understanding of his true strength! Today, I saw Gu Zheng from afar. Although he had a smile on his face and did not have a strong aura, I could not help but feel a sense of trepidation! Also, four elders, what exactly are you after when you want to deal with Gu Zheng? "
"The legends say that Gu Zheng is very strong! It is undeniable that we do not know much about Gu Zheng. But so what if we know? Who doesn't have a trump card that no one knows about? That is why Morgan, you are still a little afraid of some of his legends! "Lu Qiefu said.
"Gu Zheng is too arrogant. In this plane, if there is a law that is number one, he is number two. With this scourge around, it is almost impossible for others to obtain a certain amount of pure faith power! Do you want to open the sixth sense or even the seventh sense to accumulate energy? If you want it, this Gu Zheng cannot be left alive! "Katris said.
"I do want it! But if we want to get rid of him with just these bargaining chips, I feel that it is somewhat unwise. "Morgan said.
"Other than wish power and pure faith power, we also want the Boundary Stone!" Udolili said.
"Boundary Stone? What do the elders want that thing for? It is not something that anyone can use! "Morgan said doubtfully.
"You also said that it is not something that anyone can use, but I am the one who can perfectly control the Boundary Stone! Once I control the Boundary Stone, this plane will belong to us. At that time, even a dragon will have to coil up and a tiger will have to lie down for the Mi Xing Alliance! "
When Udolili spoke, a powerful aura that Morgan had never seen before erupted from her body. At that moment, Morgan actually had the impulse to worship her.
Morgan was very shocked. The aura that Udolili had erupted with made him understand that this warlike woman was definitely more valiant than he had imagined.
Although he was shocked, Morgan did not dare to ask any more questions. He was still very clear-headed.
"Isn't the Boundary Stone in the Kunlun Sect? Although there are many cultivators in the Kunlun Sect, I feel that with the strength of our Star Alliance, it is still very possible to sneak attack the Kunlun Sect and seize the Boundary Stone! According to what the third elder said, after obtaining the Boundary Stone, the third elder will be able to perfectly control it. At that time, there will be no need to fear anyone! Since that is the case, why do we have to deal with Gu Zheng now? "Morgan asked again.
"I can perfectly control the Boundary Stone, but the prerequisite for me to control the Boundary Stone is different from others! Every person who has controlled a World Stone will leave behind a bit of their aura in the World Stone. The prerequisite for me to perfectly control the World Stone is that I must eliminate all the people who have controlled the World Stone in this plane. Only in this way will their auras in the World Stone disappear, "said Uduoli.
Gu Zheng had indeed controlled the World Stone. Not only him, but even Die Ling had done the same.
