"Countless!"
Although Gu Zheng hadn't trained for many years, as the master of the Primal Chaos Pagoda, he had experienced countless life and death battles in the Primal Chaos Pagoda's' energy battlefield '.
"I don't believe it! You're only a thousand years old, how could you have experienced countless battles?! "
Duanmu Tianzhao's roar was filled with panic. The Coiling Dragon Protection's duration was about to end.
"It's just a different cultivation method!"
Gu Zheng narrowed his eyes. Duanmu Tianzhao's panic allowed him to find an opening. He dodged Duanmu Tianzhao's Coiling Dragon Spear and used Tang Mo to stab Duanmu Tianzhao's abdomen! Once this move hit, the battle would be over.
However, Duanmu Tianzhao, who had been tempered for a long time, showed panic more to numb the enemy! The loophole that Gu Zheng was exploiting right now was actually a trap.
The coiling dragon on the Coiling Dragon Spear came to life and shot towards Gu Zheng's back like lightning.
At the same time, Gu Zheng's Tang Mo stabbed Duanmu Tianzhao's abdomen. The powerful impact turned Duanmu Tianzhao's immortal robe to dust. However, Tang Mo, which was supposed to stab Duanmu Tianzhao's dantian, was blocked by a strange immortal formation on his abdomen!
In that split second, Duanmu Tianzhao felt a sense of relief. Gu Zheng's saber didn't pierce his dantian, but his small coiling dragon had already touched Gu Zheng's back. The battle could be considered to be over.
However, Duanmu Tianzhao felt pain in his abdomen, and then his vision turned black.
"This …"
Duanmu Tianzhao in the real world suddenly stood up. His eyes were wide open, and he couldn't say a complete sentence.
His vision turned black in the illusory battlefield just now. That was the result of the illusory battlefield's elimination! He could not imagine that a strange force would ignore the Immortal Inscription Life-Protecting Formation on his abdomen and hit the ball of Immortal Power in his body when he thought the outcome of the battle had been decided!
Duanmu Tianzhao hurriedly looked at Gu Zheng on the other side, but Gu Zheng's special expression already showed that he was still in the illusory battlefield! Duanmu Tianzhao was so angry that he wanted to jump up when his extravagant wish for mutual destruction didn't happen!
There were two things that Duanmu Tianzhao didn't understand. One was what the strange force that ended the battle was. The other was why the situation of mutual destruction didn't happen even though the Coiling Dragon had clearly touched Gu Zheng's back.
Tang Mo didn't stab Duanmu Tianzhao's abdomen. It was blocked by the immortal formation's immortal formation. However, the immortal formation's immortal formation could only protect Duanmu Tianzhao's body from damage. Thus, in that instant, Gu Zheng decisively sent the black hole energy that he had frequently used to seal other people's Immortal Power balls into Duanmu Tianzhao's body.
The illusory battlefield's, Duanmu's's's,'s's't's's life. When some vital parts were hit, even if it was not enough to kill a person in the real world, it was still a standard to determine death in the Illusory Battlefield.
As for Duanmu Tianzhao's coiling dragon, although it looked like a real dragon, it was just a metal carving on the coiling dragon spear. At that crucial moment, Gu Zheng used the metal manipulation technique he hadn't used before, preventing the coiling dragon from stabbing into his back! Because of Gu Zheng's interference, Duanmu Tianzhao was judged to have failed the Illusory Battlefield and been eliminated.
Duanmu Tianzhao was eliminated, and Gu Zheng was still in the illusory battlefield.
"Clap clap clap clap …"
The commander of the immortal camp applauded for Gu Zheng.
"The battle was very exciting, but you didn't use your full strength!"
Gu Zheng didn't ask why after hearing the commander's words. The other party was a Quasi-Sage, he could see much more than ordinary people.
"You still have a long way to go, I have faith in you!"
The commander took a deep look at Gu Zheng, and then left the illusory battlefield.
Gu Zheng also came out of the illusory battlefield. When his vision returned to normal, he saw Duanmu Tianzhao's smiling face.
In just a short moment, Duanmu Tianzhao had gotten rid of the emotional impact of failure.
"Daoist Bai is amazing, your endless methods are beyond my imagination!" Duanmu Tianzhao laughed.
Before the battle, Duanmu Tianzhao was kind to Gu Zheng because he thought highly of a cultivator who had comprehended the Dao of Time and the Dao of Space. But after this battle, Duanmu Tianzhao's attitude towards Gu Zheng had changed to respect!
"Peak Leader Duanmu is too kind."
Besides being polite, Gu Zheng couldn't say anything else.
"According to the previous rules, whoever I call out for a spar will be rewarded if they win."
The commander of the immortal camp threw a jade box to Gu Zheng.
"Tianzhao, although you didn't win this time, I still enjoyed watching the battle. I'll give you a consolation prize!"
The commander also threw a jade box to Duanmu Tianzhao, and then left the mountain.
After the commander left, Gu Zheng wanted to return to his cave residence, but Duanmu Tianzhao asked him to stay and treat him to a drink.
Gu Zheng couldn't refuse such hospitality, so he stayed at Yaoguang Peak to drink with Duanmu Tianzhao for a while, and then left.
On the way back, Gu Zheng opened the jade box given to him by the commander of the immortal camp and discovered that there were actually five immortal grade ingredients inside!
Shocking, really shocking!
There was no need to mention the value of Immortal Grade ingredients, but why were there five Immortal Grade ingredients as a reward? Could it be that the commander knew Gu Zheng's identity?
Regarding this, Gu Zheng had naturally asked the Artifact Spirit about it. However, the Artifact Spirit was unable to provide an explanation.
Logically speaking, the commander gave Gu Zheng five Immortal Grade ingredients as a reward, which was a kind of affirmation to Gu Zheng. However, when Gu Zheng returned to Duanshu Peak, he was even more confused about the commander.
The head of Hu Feng told Gu Zheng that not long ago, the commander of the immortal camp sent someone to deliver his orders. He was going to punish Gu Zheng by making him do the most important task in the immortal array for three days.
"Did you offend the commander?"
The Tiger Peak Leader asked with a frown after telling Gu Zheng about the punishment.
"No!" Gu Zheng shook his head.
"Maybe you did, but you don't know! In the past, those who were challenged by the commander were punished for a few days because they didn't satisfy the commander. "
The Tiger Peak Leader paused, then said, "Why don't you make a jade slip about what happened after you met the commander and give it to me. I'll take a look at it and see what you did to offend the commander, so we can deal with it in the future."
"Forget it, since I'm already here, I'll take things as they come. I'll know what I did wrong in the future."
Gu Zheng refused the Tiger Peak Leader's request. In his opinion, this matter was not simple. Since the commander didn't give the Tiger Peak Leader an explanation, he couldn't tell him what happened.
"Alright, then Fellow Daoist Bai will have to do the busiest work in the immortal array for the next three days." The Tiger Peak Leader looked regretful.
"It's okay." Gu Zheng shrugged.
The commander ordered the punishment to be carried out on the same day, so Gu Zheng was quickly brought to the immortal array by the Tiger Peak Leader to replace a cultivator who was serving the immortal array.
What Gu Zheng had to do next was to inject his immortal energy into the immortal array, then adjust the amount of immortal energy according to the fluctuations of the immortal array. However, the immortal energy output was more intense than before, and the number of adjustments was also more frequent. After a day of service, even if the immortal energy wasn't depleted, it would be depleted a lot, making one feel tired.
"It's really frustrating. In order to not be bored during the service, I specially cultivated the 'Mind Separation Technique', but after I mastered the 'Mind Separation Technique', the way of service changed. I thought I wouldn't have to serve in the immortal array again, but I didn't expect that I would still be here. Moreover, the difficulty of the service has increased by several times, so the 'Mind Separation Technique' that could deal with the difficulty of the previous service still can't be used now! "Gu Zheng said to the Artifact Spirit.
"Why are you still in the mood to be depressed? You should be depressed about how things turned out like this! "The Artifact Spirit rolled its eyes.
"Didn't I say it before? Since I'm already here, I'll take things as they come. I'll know what's going on one day. "
Although the adjustments of immortal energy were very frequent, and Gu Zheng couldn't enter the Great Void with his mind, he could still communicate with the Artifact Spirit normally.
Hu Feng frowned as he looked at Gu Zheng, who was serving in the grid of the immortal array.
"Did you get anything out of him?"
Jiang Yun also came to the center of the mountain and transmitted her voice to Hu Feng.
"No, he didn't give me any jade slips, and he didn't want to say anything about what happened," Hu Feng said.
"I just met with Duanmu Peak and asked him what happened in the 'Illusory Battlefield' that caused Bai Zhu to be punished by the Lord Commander. However, Duanmu Peak didn't say a word about it," Jiang Yun said with a frown.
"Young Miss, will this affect our plan?" Hu Feng asked.
Jiang Yun was silent for a moment before she said, "Bai Zhu caught the Lord Commander's attention. Although it's not a good thing, the Lord Commander still punished him! After his death, as long as the Lord Commander doesn't ask about it personally, this matter will pass. Everything will go according to the original plan. Bai Zhu must die! "
The three days of punishment passed quickly, and it was time for Jiang Yun and the others to carry out their plan. Hu Feng conscripted Gu Zheng to the Heaven's Pivot Cave to polish the Heaven's Domain Dark Light.
The Heaven's Domain Dark Light was a type of gemstone that was needed in immortal arrays, and its consumption was very high. However, this gemstone was not suitable to be polished in advance, as that would cause the energy within it to dissipate. Usually, a batch of Heaven's Domain Dark Light would only be polished when the immortal array was about to change.
Polishing the Heaven's Domain Dark Light required a special environment, and this special environment was Heaven's Pivot Cave. Heaven's Pivot Cave was also on Heaven's Pivot Peak, and its exact location was halfway up Heaven's Pivot Peak.
In order to get rid of Gu Zheng, Jiang Yun and the others had made careful arrangements. There were various immortal arrays in Heaven's Pivot Cave, and besides Jiang Yun, there were a total of five people involved in getting rid of Gu Zheng. They were Hu Feng, Immortal Official Meng, Immortal Official Chen, Fu Long, and Shang Hong.
Immortal Official Meng and Immortal Official Chen were immortal officials of Heaven's Pivot Peak, while Fu Long was an immortal cultivator serving at Heaven's Pivot Peak. He was already considered one of Jiang Yun's men, and Shang Hong had already set up an ambush in Heaven's Pivot Cave.
"After we finish polishing the Heaven's Domain Dark Light today, I'll treat everyone to a drink tonight!"
Hu Feng said with a smile as they flew to Heaven's Pivot Cave.
"Sure! I haven't drunk the best wine in Hu Feng's collection for a long time. "
"Polishing the Heaven's Domain Dark Light is not an easy job. After we're done, drinking and relaxing is a must!"
"Let's hope there won't be any problems during the polishing process!"
The people on Hu Feng's side chatted very discreetly. Gu Zheng didn't say anything, but looked at them with a smile.
"Fellow Daoist Bai, when the time comes, you have to drink a few more cups!"
The slightly plump Immortal Official Chen smiled charmingly, but in his heart, he had a different face.
"As long as Hu Feng doesn't mind the immortal wine, I'll definitely drink a few more cups!" Gu Zheng said with a smile.
Everyone was originally on Heaven's Pivot Peak, and as they spoke, they had already reached the entrance of Heaven's Pivot Cave.
Hu Fengtou took the lead and entered the cave. The rest of the people followed behind him and went deeper into the cave.
Heaven's Pivot Cave was very big, and there were many moonlight stone lampposts in the cave, so the light was very good. In addition, Hu Feng's group was still chatting and laughing, so the overall atmosphere was very good. However, Gu Zheng, who was moving forward, suddenly stopped and frowned.
Fu Long was the person closest to Gu Zheng in the group. He had been paying attention to Gu Zheng's movements, and when he saw Gu Zheng stop and frown, he immediately asked, "Fellow Daoist Bai, what's wrong?"
Following Fu Long's question, Hu Feng and the others also stopped and turned around, looking curiously at Gu Zheng.
"Nothing."
Gu Zheng shook his head and smiled, then continued on his way.
"Hu Feng, what's going on? Did that guy notice something? "Immortal Official Meng transmitted his voice to Hu Feng.
"That shouldn't be the case! There's nothing wrong with everything here, it's still the original layout of Heaven's Pivot Cave, "Hu Feng said.
"Hu Feng, did Bai Zhu stop just now because he has opened his sixth sense and sensed danger?" Immortal Official Chen transmitted his voice to Hu Feng.
"I don't know if Bai Zhu has opened his sixth sense, but it's not like we haven't taken precautions in this area. If he really has opened his sixth sense, and his sixth sense is so sharp, then there's nothing we can do," Hu Feng said helplessly.
If a cultivator wanted to scheme against someone, there were all kinds of methods to prevent their opponent's sixth sense from sensing danger in advance.
Hu Feng, for example, had been wearing a treasure that could affect someone's sixth sense since he came into contact with Gu Zheng. As for Jiang Yun, although she didn't directly come into contact with Gu Zheng, whenever she wanted to kill Gu Zheng, she would use a mental cultivation method to deal with it. For example, Immortal Officer Chen and the others were also on guard like Jiang Yun.
As for whether the so-called precautions against the sixth sense would work, it first depended on whether the opponent's sixth sense was strong enough. However, being strong enough didn't necessarily mean that one could completely sense danger, unless the sixth sense was opened to a hundred percent.
According to the treasure spirit, a sage immortal's sixth sense was opened to eighty to ninety percent, which meant that they couldn't sense all dangers in advance.
Once the sixth sense was opened, it would be opened to ten percent, and it would increase as one's cultivation increased, strengthening the sixth sense, and other factors.
Compared to ordinary people, Gu Zheng's sixth sense was relatively powerful. Especially after he cultivated the Calm Heart Technique, his sixth sense's opening speed had increased very quickly. However, compared to a sage immortal, Gu Zheng's sixth sense was still far from being opened to forty-five percent! However, when Gu Zheng had just stopped, it was precisely because his sixth sense, which was only 45% open, had allowed him to sense the existence of danger.
"What kind of danger could it be?"
After hearing Gu Zheng's words, the treasure spirit frowned and murmured.
Although Gu Zheng sensed danger, he didn't know what it was or when it would happen. He only sensed that the danger was in the depths of Tianshu Cavern.
"I can't be sure what the danger is yet, but it's never wrong to be careful." Gu Zheng said thoughtfully.
"Hu Feng and the others just had a conversation with their divine sense," the treasure spirit said.
"I know."
Gu Zheng smiled. His powerful divine sense allowed him to sense what the treasure spirit was saying.
"Fellow Daoist Bai, what happened to you before?"
Hu Feng's voice sounded in Gu Zheng's mind.
"I suddenly had a flash of inspiration. I felt that I had gone astray in my cultivation," Gu Zheng said with a smile.
"It's a blessing to be able to realize that you've gone astray. This can help you avoid future problems!"
As soon as Hu Fengtou transmitted his voice, he immediately felt that his words of consolation were a little strange, and the worry in his heart grew a little heavier.
The group didn't say anything else and followed the passage into the heart of the mountain.
After a while.
Looking from afar, they had reached the end of the passage. There was a stone door there, and behind the door was the place where the Celestial Domain Dark Light was polished.
Hu Feng controlled his heart and didn't let it beat too fast. As long as they entered the door, he believed that Gu Zheng would definitely die.
However, Hu Feng, who had been paying attention to Gu Zheng, noticed that Gu Zheng's brows furrowed for no reason. This made his heart tremble, and his worry grew even more.
Gu Zheng's furrowed brows was indeed because his sixth sense had sensed danger again.
"Phew …."
Hu Feng heaved a sigh of relief. Gu Zheng didn't cause any trouble outside the door. He followed the group into the world behind the door.
The world behind the door was very dark. It was so dark that it could swallow one's vision. After Gu Zheng entered, the stone door closed.
The immortal design in the space was activated, and light suddenly became abundant. Gu Zheng could see clearly where he was, and also saw Shang Hong standing in the immortal design.
"Hahahaha …."
Everyone on Hu Feng's side, except for Hu Feng, laughed maniacally. In their eyes, Gu Zheng was already a dead man.
Compared to the maniacal laughter of the group, Gu Zheng's expression was very calm. However, when he saw Shang Hong, he furrowed his brows again.
"Sigh!"
Gu Zheng shook his head and sighed.
"Why are you sighing?"
Hu Feng frowned and asked Gu Zheng. At this point, it was time to remove the disguise.
"What I'm sighing about is that I've unknowingly offended someone and was plotted against by all of you!"
Gu Zheng waved his hand in the air. "You've even set up an immortal design that forbids teleportation and the Forbidden Immortal Realm. You're really willing to go all out!"
After the immortal design was activated, the special fluctuations made Gu Zheng understand that he couldn't use teleportation or the Forbidden Immortal Realm here.
"Last time in the cave, you were able to turn the tables because of teleportation. This time, we naturally have to find a way to deal with your troublesome teleportation. As for the Forbidden Immortal Realm, we guessed that you have this ability, so we naturally have to make arrangements to deal with it, "Hu Feng said.
When Gu Zheng killed Jiang Yun's men in the Turbulent Flow Sea, Jiang Yun guessed that he very likely had the Forbidden Immortal Realm.
