In response to the Vessel Spirit's question, Gu Zheng said, "Isn't it an opportunity to return before the time is up and let her stay in this cave? The flow of time here is 50 times slower than in the Untainted Land, and the structure of the space is so strange. If it weren't for the lack of time, I would really like to cultivate in this place! Other things aside, just the comprehension of the Way of Time and the Way of Space will definitely be of great help. When I become the owner of the Star Ruins Mountain, I can let her out again! "
"I'm just afraid that she won't appreciate it and will become your enemy after letting her out!" the Vessel Spirit said.
"Don't worry. When I dare to let her out, I naturally won't be afraid of her causing any trouble," Gu Zheng said.
"By the way, the Palace Lord of the Spirit Palace said that if we miss the time, we won't be able to return. Do you really believe that?" the Vessel Spirit asked.
"The consciousness of the Star Ruins Mountain is very weak. Opening such a passage is definitely not something that doesn't cost anything. Therefore, we can only stay for one day. This should be true. After all, the consciousness of the Star Ruins Mountain asked us to come to this cave because it wants us to become more compatible with it under the influence of the fluctuations! If the conditions allow, it will definitely want us to stay here for a while longer. "
After listening to Gu Zheng's analysis, the Vessel Spirit nodded and then said, "But when it comes to the matter of the divine beast, it doesn't make sense!"
"Indeed, the Palace Lord of the Star Palace said that there is a divine beast here. However, Le Xian has already walked through this maze and she hasn't found any living creatures, let alone a divine beast."
Gu Zheng shook his head and said, "We'll take it one step at a time. It's not easy to come out of the circle. I also want to experience it properly."
The fluctuations that Le Xian mentioned were always there. These fluctuations might have a greater impact on ordinary cultivators. However, these fluctuations were affected by the Mind Calming Spell, so they didn't have much of an effect on Gu Zheng.
Unlike the ordinary caves, which were dark and damp, this cave outside the circle was very strange. The environment was very dry. Through the transparent rocks, Gu Zheng could clearly see nine suns hanging in the sky. Occasionally, he could also see strange birds flying across the sky.
Although it was only one day, it was one day in the Untainted Land. In the cave outside the circle, it was fifty days! In Gu Zheng's opinion, since the flow of time in the cave was fifty times slower than in the Untainted Land, the flow of time outside the cave should be the same! After walking through the maze, Gu Zheng planned to break open the cave and explore the outside environment.
Compared to Gu Zheng's adventurous spirit, Le Xian was much more cautious! Even though she could stay outside of the circle for a longer time than Gu Zheng, she didn't choose to go outside the cave to take a look. She spent all her time inside the cave, so Gu Zheng didn't know anything about what was happening outside the cave.
Although he wanted to explore the maze and explore the outside environment, Gu Zheng first had to go to the bottom of the cave. Although Gu Zheng felt that the space crack leading to the Star Ruins Mountain couldn't exist forever, and that it should appear when the day of the Star Ruins Mountain was approaching, a guess was still a guess. He could only be relieved when he saw it for himself.
With Le Xian's experience, Gu Zheng spread his Phoenix-Eagle wings and flew to the bottom of the cave. Although there were many forks along the way, he didn't take any detours.
"As expected, opening a passage like the space crack isn't a simple thing."
Looking at the empty bottom of the cave, Gu Zheng smiled slightly.
"Without the existence of the crack, you don't have to stay here. You can do what you want to do," said the Weapon Spirit.
"Yes, I'm going to do what I want to do."
Gu Zheng paused and looked at the Weapon Spirit, saying, "You should also do what you should do! Seize the time to cultivate and strive to cultivate a body as soon as possible. "
"No!"
The Weapon Spirit shook its head like a rattle-drum, "This is a strange illusion, and you have to wander around alone. I can't concentrate on cultivating under this premise!"
"Alright, then wait for me to calm down before you cultivate!" Gu Zheng said with a smile.
"That's a good idea!" The Weapon Spirit laughed.
After spending four hours, Gu Zheng walked through the entire maze and finally stopped at the entrance of the cave.
There were no Divine Beasts in the cave. During this process, Gu Zheng only saw Fairy Bi Bo once from afar. However, as soon as Bi Bo saw him, she immediately hid far away, leaving only a look of intense hatred in her eyes.
Gu Zheng didn't chase after Fairy Bi Bo. Even if her eyes were full of hatred, as long as she didn't cause trouble, Gu Zheng didn't bother to pay attention to her.
The stone wall of the cave was transparent, but it wasn't a crystal. From the five elements, it was a mixture of gold and water, and had a strong resistance to destruction. If an ordinary cultivator in the later stage of Daluo Jinxian wanted to destroy it with only immortal power, it would be very difficult. Moreover, this strange cave wall also had a very good restorability. If one didn't have any special means, it might take a long time just to break through the cave wall and get out.
Gu Zheng didn't use immortal power to destroy the stone wall. When his Five Elements Dao was promoted to the intermediate level, he had already comprehended the Five Elements Escape Technique.
With a slight shake of his body, Gu Zheng's body seemed to suddenly become transparent. He first used the Water Escape Technique of the Five Elements Escape Technique to cut into the cave wall, and then used the Escape Technique of the Gold and Water Escape Technique to pass through.
Without the smooth feeling of using the Five Elements Escape Technique in the Untainted Land, Gu Zheng, who passed through the cave wall, felt as if he had fallen into glue, and his whole body was surrounded by a sticky feeling.
After about two minutes, Gu Zheng finally came out of the cave wall. He immediately felt that the outside environment was different from the inside of the cave.
Frowning slightly, Gu Zheng closed his eyes and felt carefully.
When he was in the cave, Gu Zheng didn't find the existence of immortal power. After coming out of the cave, the first thing Gu Zheng felt was that there was a special energy in the air.
Immortal power was a kind of energy, and its intake gave birth to the path of cultivation.
The energy of the black hole was also a kind of energy. Because Gu Zheng had mastered the profound way of eating and drinking, and because the immortal power ball in his body had mutated, it could be absorbed by Gu Zheng, producing the same effect as immortal power.
"Interesting, interesting!"
Like a child, Gu Zheng opened his eyes and laughed.
"What's wrong?" The Device Spirit immediately asked.
"The air here is full of a special kind of energy. My immortal power ball can faintly sense this special kind of energy, but it's a bit heterogeneous, and I can't directly absorb it. However, Master gave me some ingredients outside the circle, and the special substances in those ingredients made me think that maybe I can also make a food cultivation here, and absorb the special energy outside the circle! However, I don't have many ingredients outside the circle, and the deduction of this new food cultivation is only based on a hypothesis! "
Gu Zheng's words made the Device Spirit excited. "Being able to come up with a hypothesis is already a very good thing! As the saying goes, a place nurtures a place's people. In this strange environment, there must be some special ingredients. When you come into contact with these special ingredients, perhaps your flawed hypothesis will become a real circle! "
"Yes, that's the reason!"
Gu Zheng paused, and then said, "In addition to the special kind of energy in the air, the use of divine thoughts is still blocked here. It feels as sticky as when I passed through the cave wall! However, this is really a good place. The flow of time is so many times slower than in the Untainted Land, and the cultivation method of divine thoughts has always been lacking in the Untainted Land. But here, as long as you divide your divine thoughts, it will be an effective cultivation method of divine thoughts! I've always wanted to spend a long time in seclusion. If I get the Star Ruins Mountain in the future and can enter this place at will, I must do a long seclusion here! "
"For immortal cultivators, this is indeed a good place, but don't be too optimistic. Who knows what dangers exist!" The Device Spirit reminded him.
"Okay."
Gu Zheng nodded with a smile, and then looked up at the sky.
There were nine suns in the sky, but the light was not particularly glaring. Something that covered the sky like a dark cloud swept past. It was a kind of bird that Gu Zheng had never seen before.
The Phoenix Eagle spread its wings, and Gu Zheng flew up into the sky.
This was the world outside the circle, and even the energy of heaven and earth was not the kind that Gu Zheng was familiar with. So whether it was in the cave or outside the cave, it was not easy to mobilize the energy of heaven and earth by conventional means! Unless one was like Gu Zheng or Fairy Bi Bo, who mastered the Dao of the Five Elements, which were relatively special means, they would not be particularly passive. Otherwise, it was not easy to simply fly here.
The unknown bird was very large, and its wings were more than a thousand feet wide. Otherwise, it would not be able to cover the sky. Its appearance was very strange. Its body was like a bird's, but its head was like a beetle's, and its feathers had a rock-like texture.
"Its strength is equivalent to the middle stage of the Demon King, and the quality of its ingredients is trash."
The Device Spirit's voice sounded. She had completed the investigation of the unknown bird.
The Device Spirit's evaluation of the level of the unknown bird's ingredients was a rough evaluation. If it had to be divided relatively more carefully, the parts of the unknown bird that could be used as ingredients were not all trash! On each of its wings, there was a bone spur that was three feet long. The bone marrow in the bone spur was of high quality, and under the observation of Gu Zheng's Heart of Dao, it contained a very strange and special substance.
"Hu …"
The unknown bird also noticed Gu Zheng, and turned its head to face him as if it was exhaling. Suddenly, a scorching hot and violent airflow swept towards Gu Zheng.
The unknown bird was not attacking Gu Zheng, but a normal reaction to seeing something strange. After all, Gu Zheng's body was not even qualified to be its toothpick.
"Wu …"
With a mournful cry, the huge bird's body began to fall downwards. The one that attacked it was not Gu Zheng, but a figure that suddenly appeared from the void. Its hunched body seemed to be forty feet tall, and its appearance was so strange that it looked like an eyeless monkey! It suddenly appeared from the void and punched the bird's head. Only then did the bird fall downwards.
"Its strength is equivalent to the late stage of the Demon King, and the quality of its ingredients is poisonous!"
The Device Spirit completed the investigation of the monkey monster, and Gu Zheng was still a little shocked in his heart! Although this was outside the circle, he was already very familiar with the space structure outside the circle. However, he did not notice the monkey monster hiding in the space in advance, even with his intermediate mastery of the Space Dao. If he was ambushed by such a thing, he would definitely be in a very passive position!
"Urgh …"
The unknown bird was not killed by the monkey monster's punch. It was only temporarily knocked out. Now that it had woken up, it began to perform fancy somersaults in the air, hoping to get rid of the monkey monster lying on its neck.
The monkey monster firmly grabbed the feathers on the unknown bird's neck and punched the unknown bird's head, which did not seem to be very heavy, but it made a sound like a bell being struck.
This time, the unknown bird was not knocked out by the monkey monster's punch. The feathers on its neck shot out like arrows, and the monkey monster lying on its feathers was also shot out.
After the monkey monster was shot out, the unknown bird did not take the opportunity to counterattack. It had an innate fear of the monkey monster, so it immediately spread its wings and flew away.
The unknown bird was very big, so its flying speed was naturally very fast. With just a flap of its wings, it was already hundreds of miles away.
"Somersault Cloud!"
Gu Zheng was shocked again. The monster monkey that was hundreds of miles away had caught up with the unknown bird with just a somersault. What else could it be other than the Somersault Cloud of the Space Dao!
"Clang!"
The sound of a bell being struck was heard. The monkey monster that caught up with the unknown bird punched it in the head again, knocking it out and causing it to fall down.
Without giving the unknown bird a second chance to wake up, the monkey monster punched it in the head again.
This time, there was no sound of a bell being struck. The skull of the unknown bird exploded under the monkey monster's punch. The monkey monster stuck out a long tongue and began to lick its brain.
Originally, Gu Zheng wanted to attack the unknown bird, but who would have thought that such a monster monkey would appear out of nowhere and kill the unknown bird with a thunderous method?
"Aren't you going to try looking for that monkey monster?" Seeing Gu Zheng turn around and fly in another direction, the weapon spirit could not help but ask curiously.
"Nope."
Gu Zheng smiled slightly. The monster looked like a monkey and had the remarkable ability of the Somersault Cloud. This made him feel a bit of a knot in his heart. As long as the monkey monster did not provoke him, he did not want to find trouble with it.
Whether it was the unknown bird or the monkey-like monster, in Gu Zheng's heart, these two things could only be defined as monsters and not spirit beasts. This was because there was a very big difference between them and spirit beasts, and that was that they did not have an inner core or something like that in their bodies.
Overall, the scene Gu Zheng saw when he came out of the cave was desolation. The ground was made of soil that was harder than rocks, and there was not a single so-called plant.
After flying for about the time it took to burn a stick of incense, Gu Zheng's eyes lit up and he landed on the ground. He finally saw a few things that looked like tall cactuses.
Following Gu Zheng's descent, all the cactus-like things actually retracted back into the ground. The surface of the ground quickly healed without leaving a single hole. If they hadn't seen it clearly, they might have thought that there was nothing here!
Gu Zheng divided his divine sense into the soil. Although divine sense was not very useful here, it was not completely useless. It was just that it was not as efficient as in the Untainted Land.
The cactus-like things were indeed plants. They had only shrunk into the ground and had not truly disappeared.
After investigating, Gu Zheng found that the cactuses were plant ingredients of a medium level. They actually contained many special substances that Gu Zheng had never seen before.
"It would be good if I could get a batch of ingredients from outside the circle this time! These ingredients belong to outside the circle and they more or less contain some special substances. Even if these special substances could not be used in the cooking of a food cultivator, cooking them can still help to cultivate a deeper level of the Eye of Dao. "Gu Zheng thought to himself.
"Kacha …"
The hard ground cracked under the effect of Gu Zheng's Earth Control Spell. Five ingredients that looked like tall cactuses appeared in front of him.
"Peng peng peng peng …"
After being exposed to the air, the five cactus-like plants began to vibrate. Their thorns, which carried a certain amount of poison, shot towards Gu Zheng. When they made contact with Gu Zheng's defense, they made a slight noise, but were unable to cause any harm to Gu Zheng.
After getting the five cactuses, Gu Zheng continued on his journey.
Unknowingly, half a month had passed.
During this half month, Gu Zheng spent most of his time on the road. During this period, he encountered many things that he had never seen before. There were monsters and plants. There were also some things that he did not know whether they were monsters or plants. There were also some minerals that he had never seen in the Untainted Land but could be used for refining weapons.
Overall, in this half a month, Gu Zheng's harvest was quite bountiful. He obtained a lot of minerals and also a lot of ingredients outside the circle. However, whether it was the minerals or the ingredients, the quality of the resources was not very high.
During this half month, Gu Zheng had also encountered several dangers. One of them came from a monster whose strength was not inferior to the peak of Daluo Jinxian. Unfortunately, this monster not only looked like a pile of rotten meat, but also the quality of the ingredients was trash. Gu Zheng did not gain anything at all. Another danger came from plants. It was in a place similar to a forest. All the plants attacked Gu Zheng at the same time. Moreover, those seemingly weak attacks were actually very powerful. After breaking Gu Zheng's defense, they also left a strong poison in Gu Zheng's body. The other two dangers came from the environment. One was when Gu Zheng went for an adventure, and the other was when he encountered a tornado! It had to be said that the danger level of the tornado that Gu Zheng encountered was no less than the first Spatial Storm that he encountered during his spatial transmigration.
In Gu Zheng's opinion, the world outside the circle was very large. Its area should not be smaller than the Untainted Land. Because Gu Zheng had flown for fifteen days, the landscape had just changed from the boundless red earth to an endless desert.
