"Hehe!"
Gu Zheng's unexpected response made Old Man Wu laugh strangely.
"Indeed. Even if you didn't ask, there are some things that I have to tell you!"
Old Man Wu paused and then told Gu Zheng what he had told Sun Cheng. Then, he said, "Now that you have passed the first Spirit Palace, I am here to urge you to enter the second Spirit Palace. When you come out of the second Spirit Palace alive, I will tell you some things!"
"The second Spirit Palace is still up to me to choose?" Gu Zheng asked.
"That's right. The second Spirit Palace is up to you to choose, but it definitely can't be the one you are in now."
As soon as Old Man Wu finished speaking, Gu Zheng immediately walked out.
"Kid, aren't you going to ask me anything else?"
Gu Zheng's reaction finally made Old Man Wu unhappy. His voice became cold.
"If I ask you, will you answer?" Gu Zheng stopped and sneered.
Old Man Wu frowned. "That depends on what you ask!"
"Hehe."
Gu Zheng smiled contemptuously and continued walking out of the Spirit Palace.
"Are you really not going to ask it anything?" the Weapon Spirit couldn't help but ask.
"It also depends on what I'm asking. If he's urging me to go to the second Spirit Palace, then what I want to know is most likely something that he won't be able to answer. If that's the case, why should I let him have his way? Moreover, if I can walk out of the second Spirit Palace alive, it will answer some of my questions. If I can't walk out of the second Spirit Palace alive, then it will be pointless to ask! "Gu Zheng said.
Looking at Gu Zheng's back, Old Man Wu sneered. "Kid, even if you don't ask, I want to tell you something. In the Spirit Palace just now, what happened between you and the Palace Master is considered a violation of the rules. So, you have to be careful in the future. I have the right to punish those who violate the rules!"
Old Man Wu's words finally made Gu Zheng turn around. He looked at Old Man Wu and said contemptuously, "At first, there were some things that I wasn't sure about. But after talking to you, I can see some things! What's there to be arrogant about? You're just a servant of the Star Ruins Mountain. There are some things you can do and some things you can't. Why are you pretending to be all-powerful? "
If Old Man Wu's face could change, it would have turned green by now.
"Kid, you better not die in the second Spirit Palace. If you become the Palace Master of the Spirit Palace, I will treat you well!" Old Man Wu laughed like an owl.
Gu Zheng also smiled, still as contemptuous as ever. Without saying anything, he turned around and walked out of the Star Palace.
"You really dare to offend it!"
The Artifact Spirit let out a long breath. She was really worried about Gu Zheng's words and actions just now.
"At first, I only heard Sun Cheng's guess. However, the conversation with him just now, in addition to the fact that he was angered at the end, confirmed Sun Cheng's guess. It's just a servant of the Star Ruin Mountain! Why should I be afraid of a servant? If it weren't for the fact that I wasn't sure of the Star Void Mountain's intentions and didn't dare to attack it rashly, I really wouldn't have been able to stop myself from killing it! Maybe it's very powerful to Sun Cheng, but to me, killing it isn't much harder than killing a dog! Once I'm sure that killing it on the Star Ruin Mountain won't cause any accidents, then it will die. Revenge for Sun Cheng will start with it! "
Hearing Gu Zheng's hateful words, the Artifact Spirit's eyes widened. "You can kill it so easily! Could it be because of Tang Mo? "
The Artifact Spirit was very shocked. Tang Mo had indeed easily devoured the Cloud Spirit in the form of a mass of clouds. However, the Artifact Spirit didn't sense any evil aura from Old Man Wu's body that matched the standard of Tang Mo's food.
"This guy doesn't have any evil aura on the surface, but it is indeed a Cloud Spirit. I can sense an aura that is very similar to the Cloud Spirit in the form of a mass of clouds from its body. Moreover, Tang Mo was not only excited about it, but also about Sun Cheng. So, I think that even if there is danger in the next Spirit Palace, it shouldn't be too dangerous for me! "
"That's great!"
Gu Zheng's words made the Artifact Spirit excited. If things were really as Gu Zheng said, then Gu Zheng's safety would be another layer of protection on the Star Ruin Mountain that few knew about.
"However, if I can avoid using Tang Mo in the next Star Palace, I will try my best not to use him, so as not to alert the enemy!" Gu Zheng said.
At the same time, Wu Yaya, who had appeared in Sun Cheng's Spirit Palace, appeared beside Old Man Wu.
"He should have discovered you just now. His gaze swept over the place where you were hiding without leaving a trace," Old Man Wu said.
"I know," Wu Yaya said lightly.
"Did you discover anything?" Old Man Wu asked.
"He is indeed communicating with the spirit in his body. I also completed a certain degree of perception of his body without alerting him. The spirit in his body has already aroused my interest!" Wu Yaya sneered.
"Then what are you going to do?" Old Man Wu asked again.
"Right now, we can only follow the rules and let him continue. As for what we should do, that will depend on the future."
Wu Yaya's voice paused, and then she frowned and said, "This person's cultivation doesn't seem to be high, but in fact, he should be very difficult to deal with. The Celestial Artifact in his hand gives me an extremely dangerous feeling."
"Right now, I just want this damned guy to die in the Spirit Palace!" Old Man Wu said hatefully.
"Indeed, if he dies in the Spirit Palace, everything will be much easier. However, the strength of the Palace Masters in the Spirit Palace can be determined. This is really a point that makes people feel very helpless. This guy chose the smallest Spirit Palace the first time, so I'm afraid that he will choose a smaller Spirit Palace this time! Moreover, in this Spirit Palace, he has almost no losses, so the Palace Master of the next Spirit Palace should not be able to kill him. "
Wu Yaya's guess was right. With the experience of Sun Cheng's Spirit Palace, Gu Zheng chose the smallest Spirit Palace in the second Spirit Palace.
After entering the Spirit Palace, Gu Zheng immediately appeared in a special space.
The environment in the space was the same as when he first met Sun Cheng. However, the Palace Master of the Spirit Palace had completely become a slave of the Star Ruins Mountain. When he saw Gu Zheng, he immediately launched an attack. There was no sign that he had spiritual intelligence at all.
In the face of the crazy attacks of the Palace Master of the Spirit Palace, Gu Zheng secretly made up his mind that he must not let Sun Cheng follow in his footsteps.
Although the Palace Masters of the Spirit Palace were also spirits and could also be used as food for Tang Mo, their attacking methods were not as strange as the Cloud Spirits'. It was completely like using celestial spells to attack. At the same time, it was easier to hurt them than to hurt the Cloud Spirits. Their bodies were not immune to most celestial spells.
The strength of the second Palace Master of the Spirit Palace was almost equivalent to the late stage of Daluo Jinxian. Killing such an existence was not difficult for Gu Zheng. There were many methods that he did not use. Gu Zheng only attached the Natal True Fire to the Mad Demon Blade and killed the second Palace Master of the Spirit Palace.
The special space disappeared and Gu Zheng, who appeared in the real Spirit Palace, immediately saw Old Man Wu and Wu Yaya.
Old Man Wu looked at Gu Zheng and said hatefully, "It's a pity that you didn't die in this Spirit Palace."
Gu Zheng sneered. "I'm also very helpless. I've disappointed you!"
Old Man Wu said again, "You're just more cunning and found the pattern of the strength of the Palace Masters of the Spirit Palace. Otherwise, you wouldn't be so relaxed!"
"Hmph."
Gu Zheng did not want to say anything more to Old Man Wu. He just smiled at him, then looked at Wu Yaya and said, "Do you want to tell me something?"
"According to the rules, after passing through the second Star Palace, we do have to tell you something."
Wu Yaya paused and then said, "The Star Ruins Mountain appears once every 500 years. You can enter the Star Ruins Mountain during its appearance, which means that you are all people with great opportunities! But at the same time, you are also unfortunate people. Because opportunities are usually accompanied by danger, after entering the mountain, you have to go through the tests of two Spirit Palaces. If you die in the tests, your consciousness will become the Palace Master of the Spirit Palace of the Star Ruins Mountain until you become a Star Spirit of the Star Ruins Mountain! If you successfully pass the tests of the two Spirit Palaces, the Star Ruins Mountain will give you a chance to choose whether to continue with the tests or give up! "
"What will happen if I continue? What will happen if I give up? "Gu Zheng asked.
"If you continue, you will continue to complete the tests, learn more things, and gain more benefits. If you choose to continue, then I will answer some of your questions. The scope is limited to what I just said. If you choose to give up, the Star Ruins Mountain will give you a gift, a chance to cultivate on the Star Ruins Mountain for a year, and then let you leave the Star Ruins Mountain. However, if you choose to give up, you can only stay on the Star Ruins Mountain for a year at most, and you will not have the chance to enter the Star Ruins Mountain in the future! "
Wu Yaya paused and then said seriously, "Now tell me your choice!"
"I choose to continue!"
Gu Zheng did not hesitate. His initial curiosity about the Star Ruins Mountain did not decrease, but increased. Moreover, Sun Cheng was still waiting for him to save him, and the whereabouts of Xiong San and Fairy Fei Yu were still unknown.
"Very good!"
Gu Zheng did not choose to give up, which made Wu Yaya smile.
"I can answer some of your questions now, but you already know the scope of the questions. However, since you have chosen to continue, in the process of you continuing, you will also learn more things. "Wu Ya Ya said.
Wu Yaya did not say much before. Under such restrictions, Gu Zheng could only ask two things.
"What are the Star Spirits?" Gu Zheng asked.
"The Star Spirits are a type of spirit body. Their predecessors were the Palace Masters of the Star Palaces, which are the cultivators who died on the Star Ruins Mountain." Wu Yaya said.
"Are the Star Spirits powerful? How many are there? "Gu Zheng asked again.
"Yes, there are a lot of them!"
Although she answered, Wu Yaya frowned. "You don't need to ask about the Star Spirits anymore. If you continue to ask, it will be something that you are not qualified to know."
"What is the ultimate reward for following the test?" Gu Zheng asked again.
"Become the master of the Star Ruins Mountain."
Wu Yaya answered, but her expression was one of disdain, as if she had heard a fool's dream.
"Alright, I have asked what I wanted to ask. Accept the next test!"
Following Old Man Wu's impatient voice, Gu Zheng felt the scene in front of him change. Then, he felt as if he had been forcefully brought into the Star Ruins Mountain, and Gu Zheng appeared in a new environment.
This was still a mountaintop, and there were still several Immortal Palaces on it. The Immortal Palace facing Gu Zheng was still the largest among all the Immortal Palaces on the mountaintop.
Wu Yaya, who appeared with Gu Zheng, said, "These Immortal Palaces are not called Spirit Palaces. They are called Imparting Palaces. Every Immortal Palace has traces of Dao. Choose one Immortal Palace to enter, and then comprehend the traces of Dao. If you can comprehend Dao through the traces of Dao, then you will have completed the test! If you do not comprehend Dao, then you will have failed the test! As for what it means to complete the test and fail the test, we will talk about it after you have completed the test! Within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, choose one of the Imparting Palaces! "
After Wu Yaya finished speaking, she disappeared into thin air. Gu Zheng also walked towards the Imparting Palaces closest to him.
Although he was walking towards the Imparting Palaces closest to him, Gu Zheng did not plan to enter. In any case, he had an incense stick's worth of time to look around and get a feel for it.
There were a total of nine Imparting Palaces on the mountain. Gu Zheng used half an incense stick's worth of time to look through all nine Imparting Palaces.
"Do you feel anything special?" The Artifact Spirit asked.
"I don't feel anything special," Gu Zheng said.
"Then which Imparting Palace do you want to enter?" The Artifact Spirit asked again.
"The rule of the Spirit Palaces is that the bigger the palace, the stronger the Palace Master. According to this rule, the bigger the Imparting Palace, the more complicated the traces of Dao there are! However, the more complicated the traces of Dao are, the harder it is to comprehend them. This is something that makes people feel conflicted! "Gu Zheng shook his head.
"Anyway, comprehending the Dao is a very mysterious thing, and there is no guarantee at all. Since you didn't have any special feelings for these Imparting Palaces outside, then choose the biggest one! At least as you said, in the biggest Imparting Palace, the traces of Dao should be the most complicated! "The Artifact Spirit said.
"Okay, then let's go to the biggest Imparting Palace!"
Gu Zheng seemed to be smiling casually, but in fact, he was not relaxed at all.
Although the test this time was about comprehending the Dao, and it sounded very good, comprehending the Dao had always been very mysterious. The traces of Dao were just traces of the Dao! Just like how Gu Zheng had cooked so many celestial grade ingredients, but he had only truly grasped the traces of Dao once! And being able to grasp it once was already considered very lucky.
Now, on the Star Ruins Mountain, Gu Zheng was about to enter the Imparting Palace to challenge the traces of Dao. If it were not for the fact that he was forced by the situation and had no choice, he would feel that this was a losing game! However, it was also because of the situation that he could only believe that he would win. He could not believe that he would lose, because there was no way out!
In front of the biggest Imparting Palace, Gu Zheng took a deep breath, then pushed the door and entered.
Unlike in the Spirit Palace, where he would first appear in a special space as soon as he stepped in, this was only the inside of the palace.
After entering the palace, Gu Zheng's gaze was immediately attracted by a statue in the hall, because this statue was the only decoration in the palace.
The statue was of a very beautiful woman wearing a five-colored immortal robe. She held a flute with both hands, and her head was slightly lowered as if she was concentrating on playing.
"Le Xian!"
The Artifact Spirit's exclamation sounded in Gu Zheng's mind, and Gu Zheng's eyes widened with her exclamation.
"Le Xian? Why is there a statue of Le Xian here? "
Gu Zheng felt his head buzzing, because Le Xian was one of the Ten Great Sacred Immortals. The Celestial Music Pavilion in the Celestial World, which could allow many immortal cultivators to comprehend Dao, was founded by Le Xian's eldest disciple.
"So far, we have seen two types of immortal palaces on the Star Ruins Mountain. One is the Spirit Palace, and the other is the Imparting Palace. In my opinion, whether there is a statue in the Spirit Palace or in the Imparting Palace, the real person must have come to the Star Ruins Mountain! "The Artifact Spirit said.
"She came to the Star Ruins Mountain and left a statue in the Imparting Palace. Her identity is also one of the Ten Great Sacred Immortals, and the Star Ruins Mountain is still in an ownerless state. Just thinking about it makes me curious!"
As soon as Gu Zheng finished speaking, his expression immediately became focused, because a special pattern appeared on Le Xian's statue.
Under normal circumstances, traces of Dao were natural things, just like the traces of Dao in immortal food ingredients. These were things that were very difficult to be produced by humans.
However, Le Xian was a Sacred Immortal, and the Star Ruins Mountain was so different. It was not too unbelievable for traces of Dao to appear on Le Xian's statue.
The traces of Dao had already appeared, and Gu Zheng had to use his heart to comprehend them. This would be related to whether he could successfully complete the test.
Gu Zheng became focused, and the Artifact Spirit's heart clenched. He did not show too much worry before because he did not want Gu Zheng to feel pressured. However, comprehending traces of Dao was really not a simple thing! The Artifact Spirit really did not dare to imagine what would happen if Gu Zheng did not comprehend it …
At the same time.
Somewhere on the Star Ruins Mountain, Old Man Wu asked Wu Yaya, "Do you think that guy can comprehend it?"
"We don't know about things that happened too long ago, but in the tens of thousands of years that we know, so many people have come to the Star Ruins Mountain. Has anyone comprehended a trace of Dao? It's just a trace, and there's only one chance to comprehend it. I don't think he'll be so lucky as to comprehend it. "Wu Yaya said.
"Unfortunately, he has already passed the first two tests. Even if he doesn't comprehend the traces of Dao, his life will not be in danger for the time being."
Old Man Wu's expression made Wu Yaya, who had always had a calm expression, laugh. "Do you want him to die that badly? I don't even want the spirit body in his body as badly as you do! "
"I'm different from you. You've always been calm!"
Old Man Wu's voice paused, and then he said, "I can't wait for him to die sooner. Ever since I opened my spirit, I've never been angered like that. Just thinking about it makes me angry!"
"Even if he doesn't comprehend it, he won't be in danger for the time being. However, if he doesn't comprehend it, he won't be different. The Star Ruins Mountain will not pay too much attention to him. When the time comes, you can use some revenge methods on him to vent your anger first!"
Wu Yaya and Old Man Wu both felt that Gu Zheng would not be able to comprehend it, but things were developing in a direction that they did not want.
In Gu Zheng's eyes, the traces of Dao quickly spun, and a feeling of familiarity arose!
