However, it would not be easy for them to escape, as there were still several ice dragons surrounding them.
At the critical moment of life and death, even a Sage-to-be could not care less about face. When she saw Gu Zheng slowly approaching them, Jiang Lanshan, whose face had already turned pale, transmitted a voice message: "Bai Zhu, let us go!"
"It's too late!" Gu Zheng said faintly.
"You know the relationship between your Senior Brother and me. Let me go!"
When Jiang Lanshan heard Gu Zheng mention Xiong San, she felt that it was a disgrace to her, but now she had to use the disgrace to save her life.
"Lord Bai Zhu, we're scared. Let us go!"
At this moment, Jiang Ruoming didn't feel like he couldn't swallow his anger. He only knew that if he and Jiang Lanshan died here, the Jiang Clan would lose its status as a great clan. Without the support of a quasi-sage, the Jiang Clan would soon be removed from the list of great clans.
"Once you've made a choice, there's no turning back."
Gu Zheng repeated his words before the battle. Under the vibration of the Five Elements Immortal Sphere in his body, the ice dragons that trapped the two Sage-to-be of the Jiang Family exploded. Even the undercurrent surrounding the two Sage-to-be of the Jiang Family increased its tearing strength in an instant.
Miserable screams came from the shooting icicles. Jiang Lanshan and Jiang Ruoming were both turned into a hornet's nest. The catastrophe would not let them go just because they were Sage-to-be.
Looking at the dead Jiang Lanshan and the seriously injured Jiang Ruoming, Gu Zheng felt calm.
When Gu Zheng first entered the "Death Fog", it was not impossible for him to kill Jiang Lanshan, but it would be very difficult. It hadn't even been a month since he first met Jiang Lanshan! However, Gu Zheng's realm had reached the level where he could easily kill two Sage-to-be, including Jiang Lanshan. Although this kind of rapid improvement in strength was incredible, Gu Zheng's state of mind had changed after he mastered the intermediate Five Elements Dao. This change made him feel that it was not unimaginable for him to take down two Sage-to-be at the early stage of the Sage-to-be at the same time.
After searching Jiang Ruoming's soul, Gu Zheng learned that the Jiang Family didn't have any special gains apart from clearing out the Sea Turbulence Demons in the cave.
The members of the Jiang Family were all dead. After Gu Zheng cleaned up the battlefield, he walked into the cave.
As soon as they entered the cave, Gu Zheng took out the jade dragon. At this time, the jade dragon was no longer in two pieces like before. Instead, it was complete to the point where no cracks could be seen.
The jade dragon was an energy-gathering type immortal item, but after being in the cave for a long time, it automatically split into two after exhausting all the energy it needed.
Jiang Yunzheng understood that as long as there was enough energy, the jade dragon could become a complete one. That was why he wanted to get the half of the jade dragon that she had lost.
The energy required by the jade dragon was the power of Water Dao, and Gu Zheng, who had mastered the Dao of Five Elements, was able to replenish its energy with ease.
"Go!"
With a thought from Gu Zheng, the jade dragon in its hand swam into the depths of the cave.
After Gu Zheng took it out of the cave, the jade dragon immediately swam forward as if it had come alive.
The function of the jade dragon was to search for things. As for what it was searching for, the information that Gu Zheng had received when it recognized him as its master was' obscure and difficult to understand '.
However, Gu Zheng had his own conjecture. The jade dragon wasn't an immortal item made using the Primitive Era's refining methods, so the thing it was searching for was very likely not from the Primitive Era! If it was something that didn't belong to the Primitive Era, it wouldn't be strange for it to be 'obscure and difficult to understand' due to its limited knowledge.
The cave was very large, and the forks in it were like a maze. The jade dragon didn't swim very fast, and Gu Zheng followed behind it.
Gu Zheng had already known the map of the cave through Jiang Ruoming's soul. Previously, when he was following the jade dragon, Gu Zheng found that the jade dragon didn't take any detours. It seemed to be swimming towards the bottom of the cave, but when they were about to reach the bottom, the jade dragon actually swam into a fork on the side! Just as Gu Zheng was wondering if the jade dragon had lost its way, two rays of jade-white light shot out from the dragon's eyes and outlined a circular pattern at the bottom of the cave.
Gu Zheng was very curious. With his current cultivation, he couldn't see anything different at first glance. Even when he probed with his divine thoughts, he couldn't find anything different. However, since the jade dragon had cast its gaze here, it could only mean that the thing it was looking for was here.
With a thought from Gu Zheng, the Five Elements Immortal Ball in his body vibrated, and the part that represented earth immediately flashed.
Under the effect of the Power of Tao, the bottom of the cave cracked rapidly. However, when the crack was more than three feet deep, something strange happened. Gu Zheng's Power of Tao couldn't continue to crack the ground!
Gu Zheng's Five Elements Dao was at the intermediate level, so his Power of Tao was naturally at the intermediate level as well. However, a spell like the Earth Splitting Spell could be done through the elementary Power of Tao. Now, Gu Zheng actually encountered a ground that the elementary Power of Tao couldn't crack. This was very strange.
Gu Zheng frowned and increased his elementary Power of Tao to the intermediate level. A loud sound came from the crack in the ground, and the originally impenetrable ground cracked open. Gu Zheng's divine thoughts immediately probed that there was a huge space under the crack!
The huge space was also filled with seawater. After Gu Zheng entered, he didn't immediately take action. He cautiously sized up this strange space.
This strange space wasn't solid. It was made of some unknown metal. The place Gu Zheng was in was like a long tunnel, but because it was too dilapidated, there were many holes of different sizes on both sides of the tunnel that led to other tunnels.
He didn't know how long this space had existed. The metal walls on both sides of the tunnel were already covered with seaweed from the Undercurrent Sea. However, on the metal walls covered by seaweed, there were many mysterious runes that looked like array patterns. They were still emitting a weak light.
"These runes seem to have a restraining effect on divine thoughts."
Gu Zheng muttered in his heart. He separated his divine thoughts and tried to probe this mysterious space.
"Buzz buzz …"
The sound of electric arcs rang out. Countless strange electric arcs suddenly shot out from the runes on the metal walls.
Under the influence of the electric arcs, Gu Zheng's divine thoughts couldn't help but slow down. After being hit by the electric arcs, his divine thoughts quickly dissipated without a trace.
With Gu Zheng's current cultivation in divine thoughts, he had already cut off the 'tail' between his divine thoughts and his body. The loss of divine thoughts wouldn't cause his body a splitting headache. However, it was obviously impossible to use divine thoughts to probe the mysterious space.
"What's wrong?" Seeing Gu Zheng stop moving forward, the artifact spirit asked.
"I suddenly have a feeling that there's something in the depths of this space that's attracting me," Gu Zheng said.
"You're here to find an opportunity to become a Saint, and the jade dragon guided you here. It's not strange that something is attracting you," the artifact spirit said.
"Although I'm here to find an opportunity to become a Saint, what the jade dragon guided me to might not be the opportunity to become a Saint!"
After saying that, Gu Zheng released the jade dragon again. No matter what was attracting him in the depths of this space, he would only know when he saw it.
The jade dragon didn't lead Gu Zheng in a straight line. It led Gu Zheng through the holes from time to time. This also shocked Gu Zheng to the extent of the unknown space.
Gu Zheng sensed a special fluctuation. Gu Zheng temporarily recalled the jade dragon and stopped. He was no stranger to the Undercurrent Sea. He knew that this was the fluctuation of the Undercurrent Sea Monsters when they swam.
The unknown space was under the Undercurrent Sea. There were no raging undercurrents here. Logically speaking, there shouldn't be any Undercurrent Sea Monsters. After all, the Undercurrent Sea Monsters relied on some special energy to survive. It came from the undercurrents of the Undercurrent Sea. However, since the unknown space was a special place, it wouldn't be too surprising if something special happened here.
The fluctuation got closer and closer to Gu Zheng. Two Undercurrent Sea Monsters soon appeared in Gu Zheng's sight.
Gu Zheng slightly frowned. The Undercurrent Sea Monsters were a special type of demon beast in the Undercurrent Sea. They were divided into four ranks: Heaven, Earth, Black, and Yellow.
The Yellow Undercurrent Sea Monsters were equivalent to an early Daluo Jinxian cultivator. The Black Undercurrent Sea Monsters were equivalent to an intermediate Daluo Jinxian cultivator. The Earth Undercurrent Sea Monsters were equivalent to a late Daluo Jinxian cultivator. As for the legendary Heaven Undercurrent Sea Monsters, even Quasi-Saints would have to be very cautious.
Gu Zheng had killed all of the Yellow, Black, and Earth Undercurrent Sea Monsters during his two trips to the Undercurrent Sea. Although Gu Zheng hadn't met any Heaven Undercurrent Sea Monsters, there were descriptions of their appearances in legends.
However, the Undercurrent Sea Monsters in front of Gu Zheng this time looked indescribably strange. Gu Zheng couldn't tell which rank they belonged to based on their appearance. In terms of size, Undercurrent Sea Monsters, no matter what rank they were, were all huge beasts. However, the two Undercurrent Sea Monsters in front of him weren't much bigger than Gu Zheng. The strangest thing was that the two Undercurrent Sea Monsters, which were supposed to be soft-bodied, had many metal thorns protruding from their bodies! These metal thorns were of different sizes, and their texture was the same as the metal in the mysterious space. At first glance, it looked like they had pierced out of their bodies, but in fact, these metal thorns had merged with their bodies.
Strange illusion, strange Undercurrent Sea Monsters. Gu Zheng couldn't tell which rank they belonged to through his Divine Sense, but they had already launched an attack at Gu Zheng.
The two Undercurrent Sea Monsters opened their mouths and roared. A special sound wave pierced into Gu Zheng's mind. At the same time, the two Undercurrent Sea Monsters, which could give Daluo Jinxian a headache in the later stage, also swept towards Gu Zheng.
"Interesting!" Gu Zheng thought.
Gu Zheng thought that without the existence of the Undercurrent Sea Monsters, the strength of the Undercurrent Sea Monsters would decrease, but what surprised him was that these two strange Undercurrent Sea Monsters could actually create their own Undercurrent Sea Monsters.
The Mind Calming Technique was automatically activated, so the sound wave damage didn't affect Gu Zheng at all. As for the Undercurrent, Gu Zheng was now an expert in controlling it. The two Undercurrent Sea Monsters were easily moved to other places by him.
Seeing that the sound wave attack and the Undercurrent Sea Monsters were actually useless against Gu Zheng, the two Undercurrent Sea Monsters were actually stunned for a second. This made Gu Zheng feel that they were not like ordinary Undercurrent Sea Monsters without intelligence. This was obviously a reaction of surprise.
The two Undercurrent Sea Monsters opened their mouths again. Suddenly, a shockwave was generated in the water. And in those shockwaves, there were actually countless finger-sized Undercurrent Sea Monsters. It seemed that they wanted to take advantage of the shockwave to drill into Gu Zheng's body.
Gu Zheng frowned. The Five Elements Immortal Sphere in his body vibrated. The shockwave froze at a speed visible to the naked eye. All the small Undercurrent Sea Monsters were frozen in it.
"Explode!"
Gu Zheng moved his mind. The frozen shockwave in the water exploded. Countless icicles shot towards the two Undercurrent Sea Monsters. The seawater was immediately dyed red by the blood of the Undercurrent Sea Monsters.
The two Undercurrent Sea Monsters were in pain. Their bodies were almost turned into a hornet's nest by the shockwave. If a cultivator received this kind of damage, they would have already died. But as Sea Monsters, they had unimaginable vitality.
"Roar …"
A strange cry was heard. Although it was not a sound wave attack, it was still annoying. The two Undercurrent Sea Monsters screamed. The metal thorns on their body also shot towards Gu Zheng.
The metal thorns that shot towards Gu Zheng like arrows were not as simple as piercing. Because they were also covered with the mysterious patterns on the metal wall. All the patterns on the metal thorns flashed. Under the intertwining light, they formed an electric net with a powerful pressure. Gu Zheng immediately felt a heavy pressure. And this pressure was so strong that it made his legs go soft.
"Break!"
Gu Zheng moved his mind. The metal part of the Five Elements Immortal Sphere in his body flashed. The metal thorns that were attacking him paused in the air and immediately turned around to shoot at the two Undercurrent Sea Monsters.
The two Undercurrent Sea Monsters were shocked. They knew the power of these metal thorns and immediately wanted to escape. But how could Gu Zheng let them do as they wished? The Five Elements Immortal Sphere in his body vibrated. The seawater instantly froze and stopped the two Undercurrent Sea Monsters who wanted to escape. In the next moment, the metal thorns with the net of light hit the Undercurrent Sea Monsters' bodies and penetrated the metal wall behind them.
The turbidity of the seawater instantly increased. Whether it was the two Undercurrent Sea Monsters or the metal wall that was penetrated by the net of light, they were all cut into pieces.
Without stopping, Gu Zheng collected the monster cores of the two Undercurrent Sea Monsters and released the jade dragon to continue forward.
Although the two strange Earth Level Undercurrent Sea Monsters did not really hurt Gu Zheng, Gu Zheng became more vigilant. The destructive power of these two Undercurrent Sea Monsters was not weaker than a peak Immortal Cultivator like Daluo Jinxian. If Gu Zheng's Five Elements Dao was only at the elementary level, these two Undercurrent Sea Monsters would be a great threat to him. If he did not have the Five Elements Dao, then the situation would be very dangerous.
At first, Gu Zheng thought that he would encounter many Undercurrent Sea Monsters. But five minutes had already passed and Gu Zheng did not encounter any Undercurrent Sea Monsters. The jade dragon was still leading the way. However, the jade dragon, which had always taken shortcuts, was now leading the way. It was advancing and retreating.
Gu Zheng's expression had already changed, because something beyond his imagination was at work. The reason why the jade dragon was advancing and retreating was entirely because it was shuttling through a formation.
"No solution!"
The voice of the Weapon Spirit sounded. Gu Zheng's expression became more and more unsightly.
All this time, Gu Zheng did not have to worry about Immortal Formations because he had the help of the Weapon Spirit who was well-versed in the Dao of Formations. But now, he knew that he was trapped in a formation. But even with the Weapon Spirit's skills, it could only say that there was no solution!
"Trapped in this kind of formation that I can't see or understand, it really makes me feel helpless!"
Gu Zheng secretly gritted his teeth. The current situation was more than 'helpless'. If he did not have the jade dragon to lead the way, trapped in such a formation, it was inevitable that he would trigger the killing move or imprisonment of the formation! And under such circumstances, it was impossible to know what the result would be.
He wanted to deliberately take the wrong path to see what the killing move or imprisonment of the formation would be like after it was triggered. However, reason warned Gu Zheng not to do so. It would not do any good.
Although the situation made him feel helpless, Gu Zheng was more and more certain that this mysterious space was definitely like the Star Ruins Mountain. It was something that Dao Ancestor Hongjun had dragged into this world. Since it was something that Dao Ancestor Hongjun had dragged into this world, there must be an unusual opportunity here!
Finally, the jade dragon's route was no longer advancing and retreating. Gu Zheng's heart was no longer so depressed. The environment in front of him was already very different from before.
Previously, Gu Zheng had been walking in the passage. Now, the terrain was open and there was no passage. The architectural style was like a large hall. From the metal walls full of seaweed, he could see some statues and the like.
The jade dragon was still swimming forward. Slowly, Gu Zheng could see that at the end of the hall, there was still a passage, but it was only one.
At the same time, Gu Zheng's premonition that something was attracting him in the depths of the hall became stronger and stronger. The premonition pointed to the place behind the dark passage.
"Roar …"
A strange cry came from the tunnel, and a huge shockwave blasted towards Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng frowned. The power brought by this shock wave was completely incomparable to what he had encountered before! Moreover, this shock wave was sent out by an Undercurrent Sea Demon. This meant that this Undercurrent Sea Demon had definitely reached the Heaven Rank!
The powerful shock wave carried a strong pressure, so much so that Gu Zheng felt that no matter how he dodged, it would be wrong.
Gu Zheng did not dodge. Under the vibration of the Five Elements Immortal Sphere in his body, the powerful shock wave was instantly frozen.
"Bang!"
The frozen shock wave exploded, but the person who detonated the shock wave was not Gu Zheng, but the Undercurrent Sea Demon that had yet to appear.
