Gu Zheng originally thought that he would enter the late stage of Daluo Jinxian after he left the Heaven Realm. However, he did not expect that coming to the Myriad Immortals Square to broaden his horizons would actually give him the opportunity to comprehend the Dao.
Finally, the Yin Yang Immortal Ball that had been compressed to the extreme in Gu Zheng's body shot out a black and white light. The two types of light intertwined as the Yin Yang Immortal Ball rotated. When it turned into chaos, the Yin Yang Immortal Ball collapsed like a sand sculpture, turning into many fine black and white particles.
The fine black and white particles instantly regrouped. A Yin Yang Immortal Ball that was smaller than before, but more condensed appeared in Gu Zheng's Dantian. The immortal elemental energy that had stopped being absorbed, once again swarmed in as the Yin Yang Immortal Ball rotated.
"Oh my god!"
Gu Zheng was extremely shocked. He knew that the higher his cultivation, the more immortal energy he would need to raise his cultivation. However, he did not expect it to reach such a level!
The remaining amount of Heaven and Earth Blessing was actually very sufficient. However, it actually made Gu Zheng unable to even reach seventy percent of the Gokusen Method! According to the current situation, if he wanted to raise his cultivation from the late stage of Daluo Jinxian to the peak, the total amount of immortal energy needed was definitely more than what he needed to raise his cultivation from the early stage of Daluo Jinxian to the late stage of Daluo Jinxian!
"This is a bit too exaggerated! Other people don't need so much immortal energy to raise their cultivation! "
Gu Zheng had searched the soul of a late stage cultivator of Daluo Jinxian, so he knew the situation of ordinary cultivators.
"You cultivate the Gokusen Method, and the advancement of the Gokusen Method requires more immortal energy! Because of this, the density of your immortal energy is higher than that of cultivators of the same realm from the beginning. However, it is still very abnormal for you to need so much immortal energy to raise your cultivation. However, I think this has something to do with your mutated immortal energy ball. However, it is not a bad thing to need a huge amount of immortal energy to advance. The principle is similar to the characteristics of your Gokusen Method. The harder it is to raise your cultivation, the stronger your strength will be! "The artifact spirit said.
"I understand. I was just lamenting. After all, I want to reach the peak of Daluo Jinxian as soon as possible so that I can meet my master! But now, the amount of Immortal Power needed to raise my cultivation is so huge. The time to see Master will definitely be later than I expected! "Gu Zheng said.
Since the Blessing of Heaven and Earth had passed and the Butterfly Spirit had been taken into the Chaos Space, Gu Zheng left the light circle and appeared in front of everyone.
"Fellow Daoist, what Dao did you comprehend?"
"Fellow Daoist, do you want to spar?"
"I would like to invite Fellow Daoist for a drink. May I know when Fellow Daoist is free?"
Gu Zheng had just appeared in front of everyone when he immediately received all sorts of voice transmissions.
"Let's go. The Heaven and Earth Blessing from before will surely attract a lot of people. Let's leave this place first." Lan Yue transmitted her voice to Gu Zheng.
"Fellow Daoists, I am really sorry. I have just received the Heaven and Earth Blessing not long ago. I still need to calm down and stabilize my realm. It won't be too late for us to spar when we meet again!"
After Gu Zheng cupped his fists at everyone, he followed Lan Yue and flew down the mountain. Along the way, they met several cultivators who were flying up the mountain. They were probably going to see who had triggered the Heaven and Earth Blessing.
"Junior Brother, you are really calm. If Senior Brother didn't ask you, wouldn't you tell me what Dao you comprehended?"
After flying down the mountain, Lan Yue couldn't help but ask.
"No, I just want to stabilize my realm!"
Gu Zheng smiled and said, "Senior Brother, I have comprehended the Dao of Death!"
"What? The Dao of Death? "
Lan Yue's eyes widened instantly. Previously, she had told Gu Zheng that when they were free, the two of them would talk about the Dao of Life and Death. She didn't expect that Gu Zheng had comprehended it in the Myriad Immortal Taoist Ground! Moreover, what he had comprehended was the Dao of Death, which was relatively rare among the Dao of Life and Death. How could Lan Yue not be shocked?
"That's right, it is the Dao of Death!"
After hearing Gu Zheng's affirmative answer, Lan Yue sighed and said, "The Sage Immortals look for disciples who are going through their tribulations because they value their luck! I haven't had much contact with the other disciples who are going through their tribulations, so I don't know what their luck is like. However, Junior Brother, you really make me speechless! The first time you came to the Myriad Immortal Taoist Ground, you were actually able to comprehend the Dao of Death. This can only be said that your luck is strong and your fortune is deep! "
"Haha …"
Gu Zheng could only smile at Lan Yue's sigh.
Lan Yue looked in the direction of the Myriad Immortal Taoist Ground and said, "Speaking of which, I am a little regretful."
"Senior Brother, are you talking about that nun?"
Although Gu Zheng had no time to be distracted at that time, he still knew about the matter between Lan Yue and that nun.
"Yes!"
Lan Yue's voice paused and she snorted coldly. "Regret is one thing. If this happens again, I will still not let her share your Heaven and Earth Blessing."
"Senior Martial Brother, you've missed an opportunity for me!"
Gu Zheng smiled helplessly. Comprehending the Dao through other people's mysterious realms or through seeing things while comprehending the Dao. Under such circumstances, the Dao could no longer be used to discuss the Dao with others. This was also what Lan Yue regretted just now! Otherwise, he could also think of a way to discuss the Dao with that nun and see if he could obtain any opportunities.
"Junior Brother, you don't have to take it to heart. Comprehending the Dao depends on one's luck. Even if I didn't scold that nun and she agreed to discuss the Dao with me, I might not be able to gain anything." Lan Yue smiled.
Gu Zheng nodded. "Senior Brother, where are we going next?"
"You have just comprehended the Dao of Death and your realm has also increased because of the Heaven and Earth Blessing. Let's find a place to stay first. It won't be too late to walk around after you have stabilized these things."
"Alright!"
Gu Zheng didn't have any objections to Lan Yue's decision. He indeed needed some time to digest the Dao of Death as well as to stabilize his newly increased realm. Although after the Heaven and Earth Blessing ended, he also silently dealt with these matters. However, this was still not enough. He still needed at least one more day to deal with these matters properly.
The place Lan Yue brought Gu Zheng to was called the Immortal Music Pavilion. It was considered a place for entertainment and was very famous in the Eastern Sky Region.
Since it was called Immortal Music Pavilion, it naturally focused on listening to music. However, listening to music wasn't as simple as just listening to music. The Immortal Music Pavilion had a total of seven kinds of music that could help people comprehend the Dao. This was also the reason why it was so famous! Since the establishment of the Immortal Music Pavilion, in the hundreds of thousands of years, there were many cultivators who listened to the music and comprehended the Dao in the Immortal Music Pavilion!
In the Immortal Music Pavilion, other than listening to the music, one could also watch the fairies dance and taste the delicacies cooked by the Immortal Chefs. As long as one could afford it, one could even find a beautiful fairy with a suitable physique for dual cultivation.
The Immortal Music Pavilion was very famous. Of course, it wasn't a place that ordinary cultivators could go to whenever they wanted to. Just the entrance fee was five blue immortal coins, and the various expenses were calculated separately.
Lan Yue brought Gu Zheng out to broaden his horizons. Naturally, she wouldn't let him spend money. After paying the entrance fee, she brought Gu Zheng inside.
Gu Zheng had also been to some of the shops in the Heavenly Realm, but none of them were as luxurious as the Immortal Music Pavilion! Most of the decorations here were high-grade artifact refinement materials and resources for setting up immortal formations. Of course, for immortal cultivators, ordinary luxuries were just fleeting clouds in their eyes. However, the luxurious decorations in the Celestial Music Pavilion were not without a deeper meaning. The layout of these luxurious decorations seemed to form a mysterious immortal array. It was helpful for one to enter the state of enlightenment while listening to the music.
Since they had come to the Immortal Music Pavilion, listening to the music was naturally the most important thing.
However, it wasn't that as long as there were guests, they could listen to it at any time. After all, the number of Immortal Music Masters in the Immortal Music Pavilion was not unlimited. Therefore, there was a time limit to listening to the music in the Immortal Music Pavilion.
One time to listen to the music was the time it took for an incense stick to burn. Every day, in every two hours, there was only one chance to listen to the music. If they missed the time to enter, they could only wait for the next two hours.
When Lan Yue and Gu Zheng arrived at the Immortal Music Pavilion, it was already five in the morning. The performance that belonged to five in the morning had already ended. They could only go to the 'waiting hall' and wait for the performance at five in the evening.
When Gu Zheng and Lan Yue arrived at the waiting hall, there were already two cultivators waiting inside. They only glanced at Gu Zheng and Lan Yue's arrival before closing their eyes and meditating.
Since there was still some time, Gu Zheng closed his eyes and digested the things that came from comprehending the Dao of Life and Death.
Today, Lan Yue brought Gu Zheng around the Immortal Music Pavilion. It would probably take more than two hours. Then, they would spend the night in the Immortal Music Pavilion. They could only wait until night to truly stabilize their cultivation.
Unknowingly, two incense sticks of time had passed. Xian Yi, who served tea, came to inform everyone that they could go listen to the music. Gu Zheng and the others followed Xian Yi into the 'Immortal Music Pavilion'.
At five in the evening, only Gu Zheng and the other three were listening to the music. The Immortal Music Master was an old man in white with white hair and beard.
The Immortal Music Master didn't look up at the arrival of Gu Zheng and the others. He only lowered his head and wiped the pitch-black bamboo flute in his hands.
Gu Zheng and the others sat quietly and waited for the Immortal Music Master to play. In the 24 hours a day in the Immortal Music Pavilion, the Immortal Music Master used 12 different musical instruments.
The air was filled with the smell of sandalwood. This sandalwood smell was better than any incense that Gu Zheng had ever smelled. It made people feel as though they were drinking wine. They didn't want to think too much about it and became intoxicated.
"Woo woo …"
Like the sound of the wind, the Immortal Music Master played the bamboo flute in his hands.
As the Immortal Music Master played, Gu Zheng felt as though he was in a cool mountain stream. He felt as though he was listening to the sound of the wind.
The sound of the bamboo flute changed as the Immortal Music Master played. Sometimes it was light, sometimes it was high pitched, sometimes it was loud and sometimes it was low. Gu Zheng's feelings also changed as the sound of the bamboo flute changed. It was as though he was in a dream that was made up of many fragments.
It felt like only a moment, but in reality, the Immortal Music Master had been playing for an incense stick of time.
When the sound of the bamboo flute stopped, Gu Zheng and the others woke up from their dream. Even though they didn't comprehend the Dao, it was worth it to be able to hear such a wondrous music.
"How do you feel?"
Lan Yue asked when they left the Immortal Music Pavilion.
"It feels like a dream," Gu Zheng replied with a smile.
Cultivators were different from mortals. They rarely dreamt. That dreamlike feeling just now was familiar, wondrous, and strange to them.
"This is already my 45th time listening to music in the Immortal Music Pavilion. Even though I still didn't comprehend the Dao, I still enjoyed it every time!"
Lan Yue paused for a moment before continuing, "Next, let's go to the Water Cloud Hall."
The Water Cloud Hall was a place where the fairies could dance freely and naturally. It was a place where one could admire the fairies' dance.
Compared to listening to the music, watching the dance was purely a pastime.
Just like listening to the music, the Water Cloud Hall couldn't be entered at any time. If one missed the time, they could only wait for the next hour. However, the Water Cloud Hall and the Immortal Music Pavilion overlapped. After leaving the Immortal Music Pavilion, they could enter the Water Cloud Hall to watch the dance in the time it took for an incense stick to burn.
While waiting for the dance to start, an immortal came to ask Lan Yue what immortal wine and dried fruits she wanted. Since it was purely a pastime, they could also drink wine in the Immortal Dance Hall. However, there was no food. If they wanted to taste these things, they had to go to other places in the Immortal Music Pavilion.
Lan Yue ordered the immortal wine and dried fruits. Then, under the lead of the immortal, she entered the Water Cloud Hall along with the eight cultivators who were originally waiting in the Immortal Dance Hall.
There were sixteen long tables in the Water Cloud Hall. Each table could seat two people. Lan Yue and Gu Zheng sat down at one of the long tables.
The table was already filled with the wine and dried fruits Lan Yue had ordered. Two immortals were kneeling at each end of the table. After seeing Lan Yue and Gu Zheng sit down, they immediately poured wine for them.
The wine was the Dew Lotus Wine. Although it wasn't as famous as the Jade Lake Wine, it was still a rare high grade immortal wine. As for the four dried fruits, they were all high grade ingredients. Moreover, they were dried fruits that Gu Zheng didn't have in stock.
"These four dried fruits aren't very common even in the Immortal World. Only in the Immortal Music Pavilion, you can eat them whenever you want. However, each table can only order one plate of each dried fruit. Seeing that Junior Martial Brother seems to like these immortal fruits, I just happen to have some in stock. After watching the dance, I'll give them to Junior Martial Brother. "
After Lan Yue finished speaking with a smile, Xian 'e, who was serving her at the side, stretched out her white and tender fingers. She pinched a peeled' immortal fruit 'and placed it in Lan Yue's mouth.
"Thank you, Senior Martial Brother!"
After Gu Zheng finished speaking, Xian 'e, who was in charge of serving him, also wanted to feed him, but he stretched out his hand and stopped her.
"I'll do it myself."
Gu Zheng smiled at Xian 'e. He took the peeled pine nuts and placed them in his mouth. After chewing, his mouth was filled with a strange fragrance.
Looking at Gu Zheng, who even refused to feed Xian 'e, Lan Yue couldn't help but smile. "Junior Martial Brother, are you cultivating hard?"
Feeling embarrassed by Lan Yue's words, Gu Zheng shook his head and said, "Not really. I'm just not used to this."
"The Hundred Flower Room in the Immortal Music Pavilion is also very good. Senior Martial Brother wanted to bring you there to play, but now it seems …" Lan Yue dragged her words.
"There's no harm in taking a look, but there's no need for special things!"
Hearing Gu Zheng's words, Lan Yue laughed and didn't say anything else.
"Actually, you can also try special things."
The artifact spirit's voice sounded in Gu Zheng's mind.
"Oh? I thought you would object to this kind of thing. "
Gu Zheng smiled. In his impression, not to mention the wild flowers in the Hundred Flower Room, even Miaomiao and Die Ling would be scolded by the artifact spirit if they had intimate contact with him. She should know very well what kind of place the Hundred Flower Room was.
"With your current cultivation, it's fine for you to relax a little."
The artifact spirit paused for a moment before continuing, "I didn't allow Miaomiao to be too intimate with you in the past because your cultivation was still shallow at that time. Moreover, due to Miaomiao's original body, it can be said that it's a natural charm at certain times, so I didn't want you to delay anything because of the pleasure of intimacy. As for Die Ling, it's actually fine. I just didn't want you to indulge her and cause her to not act like a servant, so I only scolded her a few times. "
"Is it really like that?"
Gu Zheng looked deeply into the artifact spirit's eyes.
The artifact spirit's eyes flashed. "Of course it's like that."
Gu Zheng smiled and didn't harp on this question. He seemed to be looking at the artifact spirit, but his gaze became somewhat erratic.
"Everything is a habit. Once a habit is formed, it's very difficult to change. When I first became Gokusen's successor, although I became different from a mortal, the pressure I had to face was also greater. I had to fight for survival and missions. If I wasn't careful, I would be beaten by an immortal vine. I didn't have the mood to think about that kind of thing. Later, when I became the head of the Emei Sect, although my life was relatively easier, there was a real difference between me and a mortal. Because of my different status, I couldn't do anything with a mortal woman. Moreover, at that time, I didn't need you to tell me that my heart was devoted to cultivation. Later on, when I ascended to the Wilderness, I came into contact with immortal cultivators. Although I would sometimes think of some things, I still couldn't find a suitable person. Moreover, with the continuous improvement of my realm, my state of mind also changed. In some aspects, my desires had unknowingly faded. This is the so-called 'if you gain something, you lose something'! "Gu Zheng murmured.
"It's my strictness that deprived you of the things you should have enjoyed." The artifact spirit's voice was apologetic.
"Actually, I can't say that. The biggest reason is still myself."
Gu Zheng's voice paused. He looked at the artifact spirit and said, "However, in this matter, more or less, it's still partly because of you! Since you're part of the reason, then you have to take some responsibility for this matter! "
The artifact spirit was stunned. "How do you want me to take responsibility?"
"Whether it's good or bad, the person who has been with me all the way until now is you!"
Gu Zheng's words made the artifact spirit's body tremble. She just glanced at Gu Zheng's eyes and quickly lowered her head. Moreover, she took the initiative to cut off the image of Gu Zheng's inner vision of her.
Gu Zheng didn't say anything more to the artifact spirit. He raised the wine glass on the table and said to Lan Yue, "Senior Brother."
Lan Yue was chatting and laughing with Xian 'e, who was serving him. In the face of Gu Zheng's toast, he raised his wine glass and clinked it with Gu Zheng's.
"Cheers!" Lan Yue said.
"Cheers!"
Gu Zheng raised his wine glass and drank it in one gulp. The wine tasted a little strange in his mouth. He didn't know if it was because of his mood, but although it was gentle, it had a myriad of flavors.
Twelve fairies in rainbow-colored dresses had arrived. They smiled sweetly and bowed to the guests. The musicians at the side immediately began to play.
The twelve fairies in rainbow-colored dresses began to move. It was really as if the pearl tassels were spinning, the stars were swaying, and the flowers were vibrating.
However, in Gu Zheng's eyes, all of this seemed to be in a trance.
