"I've said what I need to say. Now, empty your mind. I'm going to enter your body and merge with you to complete the last step!" The consciousness of the Star Ruins Mountain said.
"Okay, come on!"
Gu Zheng smiled on the surface, but he was extremely cautious in his heart. A crucial step was about to come.
Le Xian had warned Gu Zheng not to try to destroy the consciousness of the Star Ruins Mountain before his cultivation reached the Sage-to-be Realm. Therefore, she did not let the consciousness of the Star Ruins Mountain enter her body. She had stopped at the step Gu Zheng was about to go through.
Le Xian had not even touched the consciousness of the Star Ruins Mountain, just like Gu Zheng. Therefore, she had not provided Gu Zheng with a way to destroy the consciousness of the Star Ruins Mountain. Therefore, if Gu Zheng wanted to destroy the consciousness of the Star Ruins Mountain, he had to have some understanding of it. Letting it enter his body was the only way to understand it.
The consciousness of the Star Ruins Mountain entered Gu Zheng's body. It was a very strange feeling that was different from the Divine Thoughts of the Immortal Cultivators.
Gu Zheng tried to use the Mind Soothing Spell to resist the invasion of the consciousness of the Star Ruins Mountain into his brain. The voice of the consciousness of the Star Ruins Mountain immediately sounded in his mind.
"Didn't I tell you to empty your mind?" The consciousness of the Star Ruins Mountain said unhappily.
"I'm going back on my word. I think it's better for me to be pure!" Gu Zheng said.
"You'll become very powerful with me. With your own strength and my assistance, you'll have a way to escape even if a Holy Immortal wants to deal with you. It's not impossible for you to become a Holy Immortal! "
The consciousness of the Star Ruins Mountain was not particularly surprised by Gu Zheng's reneging.
"No, I don't think it's reliable to merge with you!"
Gu Zheng was playing with fire. However, he had to play with fire. Even though the consciousness of the Star Ruins Mountain had entered his body, he still had a pitiful understanding of the consciousness of the Star Ruins Mountain! If he gave up now, although it would be safer, he would be reaping the benefits of entering it.
"Do you really think that I can't merge with you if you reject me?" The consciousness of the Star Ruins Mountain roared.
"Yes, I do think so! After all, Dao Ancestor Hongjun planted a restriction on you. There are some things that you can't do! "
Gu Zheng smiled proudly, but he was actually guiding the consciousness of the Star Ruins Mountain to give him one last explanation.
"So many years have passed, and I'm about to dissipate from exhaustion. Do you think the restriction he set up won't loosen?"
The Astral Void Mountain's consciousness roared as it charged into Gu Zheng's mind.
Gu Zheng used the Mind Soothing Spell but failed to block it. The Astral Void Mountain's consciousness treated his Mind Soothing Spell as nothing!
However, Gu Zheng had more than one layer of defense in his mind. He had another layer of defense that came from his Spiritual Force.
"Bang …"
When the Star Void Mountain's consciousness collided with Gu Zheng's Spiritual Force defense, his head hurt like it had been hammered! Fortunately, Gu Zheng's Divine Telekinesis shield blocked the Star Ruins Mountain's consciousness.
"Scram!"
Gu Zheng roared. In the small world in his mind, the thin threads formed by his divine consciousness pierced through the divine consciousness of the Star Ruins Mountain like thousands of arrows.
"Damn it!"
The Star Ruins Mountain's consciousness went up against the thin threads of divine consciousness and collided with Gu Zheng's Spiritual Force defense once again.
"Bang!"
Gu Zheng's Spiritual Force defense was broken. At this moment, his mind was simply a blank space for the Star Ruins Mountain's consciousness to infiltrate.
"Ha …"
The Star Ruins Mountain's consciousness laughed. However, its laughter ended abruptly in Gu Zheng's mind.
In front of him was a hazy fog with lightning flashing back and forth. Gu Zheng, who was panting heavily, looked at the broken jade in his hand. He could not help but break out in a cold sweat!
"Are you trying to scare me to death!"
The Weapon Spirit cried. Gu Zheng had never seen her lose her composure to such an extent.
"No matter what, it was worth it!"
Gu Zheng laughed heartily, laughing until he was out of breath.
The Star Ruins Mountain's consciousness was very powerful, but so was a Saint Immortal. Moreover, this was a Saint Immortal who had some understanding of the Star Ruins Mountain's consciousness.
Le Xian had asked Fairy Jadewave to find the Star Ruins Mountain's location. It was not that she had not considered the invasion of the Star Ruins Mountain's consciousness. Even if Fairy Jadewave had the means to destroy the Star Ruins Mountain's consciousness, Gu Zheng would not find it strange.
Unfortunately, when they were in the cave, Gu Zheng had underestimated the extent to which the Star Ruins Mountain's consciousness was on the verge of exhaustion. At that time, time was indeed limited, so he had chosen to use the domineering Five Elements Immortal Lotus to quickly get rid of Fairy Jadewave. As a result, he had lost the opportunity to search Fairy Jadewave's soul and obtain the means to deal with the Star Ruins Mountain's consciousness. However, in Fairy Jadewave's storage belt, Gu Zheng obtained an escape route for Fairy Jadewave. It was a rare jade dragonfly!
The Jade Dragonfly was a consumption-type spatial immortal artifact. Even among Saint Immortals, there was only one person who could refine such a spatial immortal artifact. Its value was immeasurable!
Fairy Jadewave's Jade Dragonfly had been positioned outside the Cloud of Death in advance. The Jade Dragonfly's strength had undoubtedly been displayed to be able to instantly pass through the Star Ruins Mountain, which was covered in protection and was outside the Thirty-three Heavens!
Although he had successfully escaped with the Jade Dragonfly, the situation at that time had been extremely thrilling. The Mind Calming Technique that Gu Zheng had regarded as a defense had been useless. The Divine Sense defense that Gu Zheng had regarded as a strong reliance had only been able to withstand two collisions from the Star Ruins Mountain's consciousness! This was a fortunate reality. It had allowed Gu Zheng to have a deeper understanding of the Star Ruins Mountain's Divine Sense. However, when Gu Zheng had decided to take the gamble, he had no idea what kind of Divine Sense the Star Ruins Mountain's consciousness had. If the Divine Sense defense that he had regarded as a reliance had not worked, or if there had been some other unexpected situation, the consequences would have been unimaginable if he had not crushed the Jade Dragonfly in time when danger had truly arrived.
Fortunately, Gu Zheng had successfully escaped from danger. Moreover, during the confrontation with the Star Ruins Mountain's consciousness, he had gained a certain understanding of the Star Ruins Mountain's consciousness. He believed that as long as his cultivation had advanced to the Sage-to-be, his Divine Sense would become even more powerful due to the increase in his cultivation. Then, he would be able to wipe out the Star Ruins Mountain's consciousness!
"Gu Zheng, why do I feel that we're celebrating too early?"
The Artifact Spirit's voice suddenly sounded, with an incomparably solemn tone.
Gu Zheng frowned. After carefully looking around, his eyes instantly widened.
Indeed, it was a little early to celebrate. This was not the edge of the Cloud of Death. If this was the edge of the Cloud of Death, then there would be an endless sea behind him. However, the sea behind Gu Zheng was not endless. There was actually a circle of fog that acted as a boundary, turning this unknown space into a huge rectangle.
Knowing that things were not going well, Gu Zheng immediately wanted to fly up, but a powerful force appeared in an instant, suppressing him so that he could not move at all.
"Haha."
Gu Zheng, who had given up on escaping, smiled bitterly.
"It's fine that I didn't know the location of the Jade Dragonfly before, but it appeared at the edge of the Cloud of Death. This in itself is an inconceivable thing, but I was immersed in the joy of escaping and did not think so much!" Gu Zheng said self-deprecatingly.
"Indeed, the Jade Dragonfly was Fairy Bi Bo's backup plan, but its location was actually set at the edge of the Cloud of Death, which is not a safe area. How inconceivable is this!" The Artifact Spirit also laughed self-deprecatingly.
During the time when Gu Zheng was communicating with the Artifact Spirit, the original sea and fog disappeared. Only then did Gu Zheng see that he was in a special space that was slowly shrinking.
As the special space continued to shrink, Gu Zheng's body also became uncontrollably smaller. He finally became a dot at the bottom of a sea blue inkstone, as small as a sesame seed.
The sea blue inkstone flew up and landed in the hands of a woman. Although she was not a stunning beauty, she had a special temperament, and this temperament added a bit of beauty to her, making her appear noble and inviolable.
"Junior greets Master Le Xian!"
Gu Zheng bowed to the giant-like Le Xian.
"Gu Zheng!"
Le Xian called out Gu Zheng's name. There was not much expression on her face, and her voice was almost murmuring.
Saint Immortals were high and mighty, and in the hearts of cultivators, they were almost untouchable existences. However, Saint Immortals were also human. Since they were aloof from worldly affairs, they more or less still had emotions.
Although Saint Immortals did not spend too much effort to cultivate their tribulation transcending disciples, the price they paid to do so was enormous. Just like what Gokusen had done to Gu Zheng. Earlier on, Gu Zheng had been given the 'innate five elements spirits', and even those medicinal pills that allowed the power of the five elements to advance, and the food cultivation that allowed Gu Zheng to directly possess the Eye of Dao. These were not things that could be easily obtained.
Under the Chaos Tribulation, even Saint Immortals could fall. It went without saying how important the disciples who helped Saint Immortals transcend their tribulation were to the Saint Immortals. Although in the agreement between Saint Immortals, fights between tribulation transcending disciples were allowed, and even if one of them died, they could not hold others responsible, Saint Immortals were still humans. Saint Immortals were also human. When their tribulation transcending disciples were killed, the possibility of them failing the tribulation would increase, and it was really hard to say whether they would do something excessive or even extreme at the same time.
Although many things had happened after Fairy Bi Bo's death, in terms of time, her death was just yesterday, and Le Xian's anger was still very strong. Even if Gokusen reminded her to calm down, it did not have much effect.
When Fairy Jadewave's jade dragonfly was used, Le Xian immediately knew that the person who used it was Gu Zheng. She greeted the rest of the Saint Immortals and quickly returned to the immortal's cave abode outside the 33 Heavens through the immortal array in the Jade Palace Golden Heaven.
Le Xian, who was full of anger, originally wanted to teach Gu Zheng a fierce lesson first.
However, when she saw Gu Zheng, an image appeared in Le Xian's mind. It was the image of the Divine Sense she had left on the Star Ruins Mountain to teach Gu Zheng the Dao many years ago. Although the Divine Sense was left by Le Xian, she had no connection with her body. If she had not seen Gu Zheng, Le Xian could only vaguely know that the opportunity she had left in the Dao Preaching Palace had been obtained by Gu Zheng, but she was not clear about the details. Now that she saw Gu Zheng, the message left on Gu Zheng by the Divine Sense was immediately captured by Le Xian.
Compared to the Divine Sense in the past, Le Xian did not change much after becoming a Saint. Putting aside the hatred of Gu Zheng for killing Fairy Bi Bo, Le Xian actually liked Gu Zheng, a junior with a lot of luck and a lot of cleverness.
After all, the dead were dead. Even if she did anything to Gu Zheng, it would be useless. Le Xian's anger instantly dissipated by more than half.
With a slight thought, the ocean-blue inkstone flew out and expanded, and Gu Zheng also returned to his normal size.
Sensing the disappearance of the pressure in the inkstone, Gu Zheng, who flew out of the inkstone, bowed to Le Xian.
"Thank you, Lord Le Xian, for teaching me the Dao!"
Gu Zheng was not pretentious at all when he bowed to Le Xian. To him, Le Xian's teaching was of extraordinary significance. It was also because of this that he had tolerated Fairy Bi Bo many times. Now that he had seen Le Xian in person, this bow was also reasonable.
"Gu Zheng, do you know that Bi Bo is my disciple?"
Le Xian's voice was really pleasant. Even though her tone was questioning, it was still considered a heavenly sound. It even made Gu Zheng have a feeling that she would continue to blame him.
"I know, but I didn't know beforehand that Bi Bo is your Tribulation Transcendence disciple."
After bowing, Gu Zheng's expression returned to normal. He was not submissive just because the person in front of him was a Holy Immortal.
"Lord, please take a look."
Gu Zheng handed a jade slip to Le Xian. It contained the things that happened after he met Fairy Bi Bo. For him, he would have to meet Le Xian sooner or later, so he had prepared some things in advance.
"You're not afraid of me?"
Le Xian did not take Gu Zheng's jade slip. Instead, her expression eased because of it.
"Lord is a Holy Immortal. Naturally, you have seen flowers bloom and wither, and the alternation of prosperity and decline. Your vision is not something that this junior can compare with. For Lord not to blame this junior for this matter, this junior is grateful in my heart and respects Lord even more! As for fear, this junior is not. If Lord wants to punish me, even if I'm afraid, it's useless. What's more, ever since Your Excellency imparted the Dao to this junior, this junior already feels very close to Your Excellency! "Gu Zheng said sincerely.
"Close?"
As if she was quite surprised that Gu Zheng would say this, Le Xian actually smiled.
Gu Zheng was a little stunned. Le Xian's smile seemed to be no different from the smile of a normal woman. Her smile was very open and natural. However, when a normal smile appeared on Le Xian's face, as if she had heard something interesting, Gu Zheng saw an elegance that he had never seen before.
She did not regard Gu Zheng's stare as blasphemy. Le Xian stretched out her hand and waved. In the originally empty space, a pavilion sitting in the lotus pond appeared. Two pretty immortals began to pour tea after bowing to Le Xian. Gu Zheng was a little unclear whether this was an illusion or the original space was just a cover for this reality.
"Come!"
Gu Zheng followed Le Xian into the pavilion and sat down.
"Have you seen your Master?" Le Xian asked.
"I haven't seen Master's body, but I had a short communication with Master's Divine Sense." Gu Zheng said.
"Among the Ten Great Holy Immortals, I have the best relationship with your Master. His views on some things are sometimes not as good as mine."
Le Xian's words surprised Gu Zheng. He did not expect that Le Xian had the best relationship with Gokusen among the Ten Great Holy Immortals. He also did not expect that Le Xian would be so frank with him, Gokusen's disciple.
"Why do you say that, Lord?"
Feeling that Le Xian was not that difficult to get along with, Gu Zheng felt less restrained in his heart.
"No need to call me Lord, just call me Martial Uncle!"
Le Xian smiled at Gu Zheng. Her expression was really like a senior looking at a junior.
"Martial Uncle!" Gu Zheng also smiled.
Le Xian nodded and smiled with slight gratification, and then she said, "Your Master told me a long time ago not to keep a disciple by your side. The more he roams the world outside, the more it'll be able to temper him. Even though this is a simple principle, only your Master is truly capable of accomplishing this! It's not that easy to choose the Tribulation Passing Disciple, and we don't have a lot of time. We don't dare to be like your Master, who almost completely let you cultivate. We don't want to make any mistakes in this matter. At least, before the Tribulation Passing Disciple becomes a Sage-to-be, we do provide them with good conditions and a certain degree of protection. "
Le Xian's voice paused, and the smile at the corner of her mouth was somewhat helpless. "Holy Immortals are also human. Humans have secrets and intrigues. But I have a good relationship with your Master, so he didn't hide anything from me. In fact, the Tribulation Passing Disciple of a Holy Immortal will have more luck every time he experiences danger and tribulation. This is also a part of the Great Tao rules! Although I have a lot of trust in your Master, I still have to say that when it comes to the Tribulation Passing Disciple, I can't afford to gamble and I can't afford to lose! "
"As the Tribulation Passing Disciple of a Holy Immortal, you are a little special. When you don't have a certain karma with the Holy Immortal, even the Holy Immortal can't make a deduction about you. After Bibo died in your hands, you and I can be considered to have a real karma. The result of the deduction about you shocked me! It's only been a few years, but you've actually grown from a mortal to a level where you can kill a Demi-Saint. Even I'm starting to suspect that my deductions have become somewhat inaccurate because of the Chaos Tribulation. "
Le Xian glanced at Gu Zheng, and there was unconcealable envy in her beautiful eyes. "The facts have confirmed your Master's opinion. The fact that you can grow so fast is inseparable from your Master's choice of attitude! I envy your Master. He has that kind of courage, and he also has that kind of luck to have a disciple like you. "
Faced with Le Xian's praise and scrutiny, Gu Zheng was really embarrassed. He didn't expect that the tribulation he thought he would meet with Le Xian would turn into a joy today.
"Uncle-Master, I'm not that outstanding anymore."
Gu Zheng scratched his head embarrassedly. Le Xian said seriously, "No, you are very outstanding! Your luck is good enough, and more importantly, your character is good. I think very highly of you! "
Gu Zheng felt his cheeks burning, and hurriedly changed the topic. "Uncle-Master, how can a Tribulation Passing Disciple help his Master?"
"What do you think?"
Gu Zheng didn't expect Le Xian to ask this question.
"I think it's to help Master do something!"
Gu Zheng's answer made Le Xian shake her head. "Actually, you don't need to help us do anything. Your growth will produce a special kind of energy. This kind of energy is of a higher level than the pure power of faith. We call it 'Holy Immortal Force'. The higher your cultivation base is, the stronger your karmic luck is, and the more Sacred Immortal Force we'll be able to obtain. At the same time, our karmic luck will be stronger when we face the Chaos Tribulation. In short, the Sacred Immortal Force is extremely beneficial to us! "
"Uncle-Master …"
Gu Zheng was just about to ask a new question when he was stopped by Le Xian's gaze. "Although I told you to call me Uncle-Master, I haven't told your Master about this. There are some things your Master didn't tell you, and he definitely wants to tell you when you meet him. I've already satisfied some of your curiosity. As for the other questions, you can ask your Master when you meet him! "
"Okay." Gu Zheng nodded.
"Apprentice-Nephew! Now, Uncle-Master wants to talk to you about something serious! "Le Xian sighed.
"Please speak, Uncle-Master!"
Gu Zheng had a feeling that the serious matter Le Xian was going to talk about was the biggest reason why she treated him differently.
