"The imprint on his forehead is the legendary 'Dark Yang Imprint'. People with this kind of physique can easily control the energy outside the circle. Moreover, they can transform this energy into Immortal Essence suitable for cultivators to absorb!"
Hearing the Artifact Spirit's words, Gu Zheng's heart shook. This so-called 'Dark Yang Imprint' was really special!
Gu Zheng had been to the world outside the circle. He had also absorbed the energy outside the circle through the 'Nine Months Food Cultivation'. Therefore, he was very clear that if the energy from the higher planes could be absorbed by cultivators, it would be several times more effective than Immortal Essence. It wouldn't be strange even if it was several dozen times more effective!
"As far as I know, since ancient times, there were very few people who had the 'Dark Yang Imprint'. However, without exception, their fates were very miserable! Usually, they were raised in captivity by some forces and used as a tool to absorb the energy outside the circle. "The Artifact Spirit continued.
On the way here, Dark Yangzi had already heard from the devil cultivator that someone was looking for him. After arriving, he saw that not only were the dead elders of the Yin Spirit Sect on the ground, even the Grand Elder of the Yin Spirit Sect was kneeling there. This made his heart filled with fear.
It was precisely because he understood his own uniqueness that Dark Yangzi felt that he was about to be 'replaced'. He couldn't help but feel a burst of sorrow in his heart.
After waiting for a while, seeing that Gu Zheng didn't immediately speak, Dark Yangzi boldly asked, "May I ask why Immortal is looking for this junior?"
"You don't need to be afraid. I was entrusted by your master before his death to give you his storage belt." Gu Zheng said.
Dark Yangzi was a bit confused. Could it be that this wasn't a 'replacement'?
Gu Zheng faintly smiled. He didn't say anything and directly threw Daoist Master Wuya's storage belt to Dark Yangzi.
After receiving the storage belt, Dark Yangzi's eyes immediately turned red. He couldn't be more familiar with Daoist Master Wuya's storage belt. Moreover, he had Daoist Master Wuya's life jade slip. Dark Yangzi also knew about Daoist Master Wuya's death immediately. It was also because he didn't have anyone to rely on that he was caught by the Yin Spirit Sect when he went out.
"Other than returning your master's storage belt to you, I also promised your master that I would do something for you to the best of my ability. You can make this request now."
Gu Zheng's words made Dark Yangzi's eyes light up, "Immortal, can you really do something for me?"
"Yes, as long as it's within my ability," Gu Zheng said.
"Does destroying the Yin Spirit Sect count as something within the capabilities of an Ascendant Immortal?"
Dark Yang Zi's hateful words caused the Great Elder of the Nether Spirit Sect to break out in a cold sweat.
"Exalted Immortal, please spare me!"
The Grand Elder of the Yin Spirit Sect hurriedly kowtowed to Gu Zheng.
"Your master is a Devil Cultivator, but you aren't. He didn't teach you the Devil Arts, probably because he didn't want you to walk the path of Devil Cultivation. There's only one thing I can help you with. If you really want me to destroy the Yin Spirit Sect, I'll agree to it, "Gu Zheng said calmly.
"Exalted Immortal, please spare me!"
This time, the remaining Elders of the Yin Spirit Sect also began to kowtow to Gu Zheng, begging for mercy.
"Fellow Daoist, the previous matter was our Yin Spirit Sect's fault. We'll compensate for it, and we'll also swear that we won't cause you any more trouble. Please don't make that kind of request to the Exalted Immortal!" The Grand Elder of the Yin Spirit Sect cupped his fists towards Dark Yangzi.
Dark Yangzi's brows were tightly knitted, and he seemed to be hesitating. The Grand Elder of the Yin Spirit Sect spoke again, "Fellow Daoist, the Exalted Immortal has already said that he'll only help you once. If you use this opportunity on our Yin Spirit Sect, then you'll soon regret it! The news of our Yin Spirit Sect obtaining the Dark Yang Seal has already been leaked. It's said that a Bodhisattva is very interested in you! "
Hearing the Grand Elder of the Yin Spirit Sect say this, Gu Zheng's brows slightly wrinkled. The so-called Bodhisattva's status in the Buddhist Sect was self-evident! Moreover, Gu Zheng had learned from Lan Yue that the Buddhist Sect hadn't conferred the title of Bodhisattva for a very long time. Those Bodhisattvas were all legendary existences that he had heard about since he was young.
"Which Bodhisattva of the Buddhist Sect is interested in him?" Gu Zheng asked.
"Replying to the Exalted Immortal, this junior has indeed heard of this matter from others. However, as for which Bodhisattva of the Buddhist Sect, I'm not clear." The Grand Elder of the Yin Spirit Sect said.
"Do you still need me to help you destroy the Yin Spirit Sect?"
Gu Zheng looked at Dark Yangzi. Seeing that he was still somewhat hesitant, Gu Zheng once again said, "If you can't make up your mind, I can point out a path for you. Now that you don't have a master, are you willing to follow me in the future and become my servant? "
Gu Zheng emphasized the word servant. If Dark Yangzi was really willing to follow him, then he would have a use for Dark Yangzi. However, he would also treat him as a servant and not just as a tool.
Gu Zheng originally thought that his attitude was already calm enough. However, who would've thought that after Dark Yangzi heard his words, he would still be scared witless.
"I … I …"
Dark Yangzi somewhat stuttered and couldn't say anything.
Gu Zheng shook his head and smiled. He could already see that Dark Yangzi was unwilling in his heart. However, because of fear, he didn't dare to refuse.
"In this kind of matter, I won't force you. Since you don't want to, then forget it."
Gu Zheng's voice paused for a moment before he immediately said, "I did promise your master to help you with something. However, I won't wait forever. Give me your answer within ten breaths. Otherwise, we'll deal with it according to my method."
"Exalted Immortal's method is?" Dark Yangzi gathered his courage and asked.
"I'll give you an opportunity and some things. With this, we'll end the karma between us." Gu Zheng said.
"Amitabha!"
Almost as soon as Gu Zheng's voice fell, a Buddhist chant suddenly sounded in the sky above the Yin Spirit Sect.
Even with the existence of the Mountain Guarding Immortal Formation, the Buddhist chant was still able to ring in everyone's ears like a large bell. This made Gu Zheng slightly frown.
"It seems that this person is indeed a Bodhisattva!"
The Device Spirit covered her mouth and snickered. She knew that Gu Zheng had a special feeling for some things. However, now that the person he had heard of in legends was about to stand opposite him, the Device Spirit also wanted to know how Gu Zheng would deal with this matter.
"It seems so."
Gu Zheng rolled his eyes at the Device Spirit. Of course, he knew what the Device Spirit was thinking.
"Exalted Immortal?"
The Highest Elder of the Yin Spirit Sect looked at Gu Zheng in horror. Whether it was a Bodhisattva or Gu Zheng, he couldn't afford to offend either of them.
"Let him in!" Gu Zheng said indifferently.
Legends were always different from reality. For example, in the legends Gu Zheng had heard since he was young, the Bodhisattva's realm was either equivalent to Jin Xian or Daluo Jinxian. However, the reality in the Untainted Land was that the Bodhisattva's cultivation was at least equivalent to Daluo Jinxian. As for the more famous Bodhisattvas in the legends, without exception, they were all in the Sage-to-be Realm! After all, some of the legends Gu Zheng knew actually had a huge time discrepancy with the events in the Untainted Land.
Amidst the faint Buddhist chant, a Bodhisattva riding a huge azure lion descended from the sky. His forehead was full and round, and his skin was as tender as a child's. He held a green scepter in his hand, and the back of his head was shining brightly. He really looked dignified.
"We didn't know that Bodhisattva Wen Shi would be coming. Please forgive us for not going out to meet you!"
The Highest Elder of the Yin Spirit Sect led the crowd to salute Wen Shi. However, they were kneeling because Gu Zheng didn't ask them to get up. They also didn't dare to ask Gu Zheng whether they could get up.
Wen Shi had already seen the strange scene in front of him when he entered the Yin Spirit Sect. Now, facing the special way the Highest Elder of the Yin Spirit Sect saluted, he couldn't help but take another look at Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng wasn't stingy. After all, this was the first time he saw a legendary figure. He still gave him a big smile.
Wen Shi also smiled at Gu Zheng. He could naturally see that since the Highest Elder of the Yin Spirit Sect didn't get up to greet him, it meant that Gu Zheng wasn't afraid of him.
"Amitabha!"
Wen Shi chanted again. Then, he looked at Dark Yangzi, who had been lowering his head since he saw him.
"Benefactor has fate with the West. Now, this poor monk has specially come to enlighten you. Benefactor, follow this poor monk to the Western Paradise!"
In the end, Wen Shi was still very domineering. At the very least, he didn't pay much attention to the Highest Elder of the Yin Spirit Sect's etiquette. He also didn't ask the Yin Spirit Sect whether they agreed or not. Instead, he directly wanted to take Dark Yangzi away.
"Haha …"
Gu Zheng couldn't help but laugh. He originally thought that the legendary 'fate with the West' was made up by later generations. He didn't expect that he would really encounter it today.
"What are you laughing at, Fellow Daoist?" Wen Shi's face was filled with displeasure.
"I'm laughing at something funny."
Gu Zheng cleared his throat. He looked at Wen Shi and said seriously, "Fellow Daoist, you might not know this, but this child has fate with me. His master asked me to take care of him before his death. Therefore, he can't follow you to the Western Paradise!"
"Fellow Daoist, can you show your true body and let this poor monk have a good look?"
Wen Shi looked at Gu Zheng with a frown. He could see that Gu Zheng had used the Dao of Transformation, but he couldn't see his true appearance.
"Fellow Daoist, you're mistaken! Who I am isn't important. What's important is what I just said. "
Gu Zheng's current appearance was created by Lan Yue's Dao of Transformation. Lan Yue and Wen Shi were both in the Quasi-Sage Realm. Therefore, it wasn't strange that Wen Shi couldn't see through it.
"Benefactor, are you willing to follow this poor monk to the Western Paradise?"
In Wen Shi's opinion, Gu Zheng's words were a pretense. Even if it wasn't a pretense, he had to treat it as a pretense. He was determined to obtain the rare 'Seal of Dark Yang'.
"I'm not willing!"
Dark Yangzi seemed to be terrified of the Western Paradise mentioned by Wen Shi. After replying, he immediately stood behind Gu Zheng.
"Fellow Daoist, you should give up now, right? Since this kid has already said that he's not willing to follow you, it won't be good if you continue to persist! "Gu Zheng's attitude also became serious.
"Amitabha!"
Wen Shi chanted Buddha's name again, and his eyes became fierce. "My Buddhist Sect is trying to ferry a fated person. Fellow Daoist, is it really good for you to obstruct us? No matter who you are, I think you should understand that you're going against the Buddhist Sect! "
Wen Shi mentioned the Buddhist Sect very seriously. This was also a warning to Gu Zheng. If he continued to oppose him, he would not only offend Wen Shi, but also the entire Buddhist Sect.
"Buddhist Sect? What a big mountain! "
Wen Shi's rudeness also aroused Gu Zheng's competitive spirit. If Wen Shi insisted on fighting, he naturally wouldn't be afraid! Whether it was his own strength or his background, Gu Zheng had no reason to be afraid of him!
Wen Shi usually lived in the Western Sky District of the Heaven Realm. He didn't know how many years he hadn't walked in the Untainted Land. This time, he left the Western Sky District to deal with some matters. He just happened to hear about the 'Seal of the Dark Yang', so he had the idea to take Dark Yangzi away. Originally, Wen Shi thought that no matter whether it was his reputation or his status in the Buddhist Sect, he wouldn't have any trouble taking Dark Yangzi away. He didn't expect to meet such a tough guy like Gu Zheng.
"Since fellow Daoist doesn't know what's good for you, I'll have to ask for your advice!" Wen Shi shook his head.
"Okay, I also have the intention to ask for advice from fellow Daoist!"
Gu Zheng waved his hand, and Tang Mo appeared in his hand.
"This is the mountain of the Nether Spirit Sect. It's not good to fight here. Fellow Daoist, do you dare to fight with me in the 'Heaven and Earth Alms Bowl'?"
Wen Shi didn't care whether this was the mountain of the Nether Spirit Sect or not. He was just in case, so that he wouldn't be the one to lose. If the news spread, it would be very embarrassing! After all, as one of the Four Great Bodhisattvas of the Buddhist Sect, Wen Shi's face was also related to the face of the Buddhist Sect.
"This' Heaven and Earth Alms Bowl 'is a famous Buddhist Artifact of the Buddhist Sect. No matter how you fight inside, it won't affect the outside world. This might be what they often say,' Buddha is merciful '! However, there's another advantage to using the 'Heaven and Earth Alms Bowl'. Only the person involved knows what happens inside. It's the most suitable to use in this kind of situation, so that you won't lose face when you lose! "The Artifact Spirit smiled at Gu Zheng.
"Fellow Daoist, why aren't you saying anything? Are you regretting it?" Wen Shi asked with a smile.
"What's there to regret? Since fellow Daoist wants to fight in the alms bowl, then I'll accompany you! "Gu Zheng said with a smile.
"Okay!"
Wen Shi shouted and immediately took out the Heaven and Earth Alms Bowl.
"Rumble …"
Accompanied by the sound of thunder, the Heaven and Earth Alms Bowl became bigger and bigger as it rose into the air. It didn't stop until it was the size of a house.
Wen Shi glanced at Gu Zheng and urged the azure lion to enter the range of the Heaven and Earth Alms Bowl.
"This monk is actually inseparable from his mount. He's too shameless! Master, let me go with you! "Die Ling said with gritted teeth.
Gu Zheng nodded and brought Die Ling into the range of the Heaven and Earth Alms Bowl.
"Peng!"
The Heaven and Earth Alms Bowl fell to the ground and outsiders could no longer see the situation inside.
Although it was only the size of a house, the interior of the Heaven and Earth Alms Bowl was extremely large. It was almost the size of a large plaza.
"Ao …"
As soon as Gu Zheng entered the space, the azure lion under Wen Shi opened its mouth and roared.
The azure lion's roar wasn't just a sound wave attack. The shockwave produced by the roar had also reached a frightening level. This beast's strength was already at the peak of the Demonic King Realm!
Although the azure lion's sound wave attack was powerful, Gu Zheng didn't take it seriously. Under the automatic activation of the Mind Calming Technique, the sound wave attack was completely neutralized. Although the azure lion was at the peak of the Demonic King Realm, Gu Zheng wasn't even afraid of the Quasi-Sage Fairy Jadewave's sound wave attack, let alone a mere Demonic King.
With a wave of Gu Zheng's hand, the Five Elements Immortal Sphere in his body vibrated. At the same time, a yellow light lit up and the soil on the ground rolled up like a wave.
The wave-like soil instantly turned into a huge earth dragon and majestically collided with the shockwave.
The Earth Dragon that Gu Zheng summoned this time was not the simple Earth Dragon Art from the Five Elements Celestial Method. It was the product of Gu Zheng's intermediate Energy of Dao. It was needless to say how powerful it was.
"Peng …"
With a loud explosion, the shockwave was dispersed by the earth dragon's impact. The earth dragon didn't lose any momentum and continued to collide with the azure lion.
Wen Shi waved the scepter in his hand and an azure light screen appeared in front of him. The earth dragon collided with the light screen and caused it to tremble but it didn't break in the end.
"You're really cunning monk! Are you shameless just because the people outside can't see? When have you ever seen an ambush after entering this place under the agreed upon conditions? "Die Ling said angrily.
"This poor monk's mount didn't attack because of this poor monk's orders. Are you going to lower yourself to this poor monk's mount's level?"
In contrast to his dignified appearance outside, Wen Shi's tone sounded a bit shameless.
"My master is noble and naturally won't be compared to your lowly mount. But as a servant, I don't care so much! Since your mount is so arrogant, let me teach it a lesson first! "
"Roar …"
The azure lion roared and its large eyes were filled with ferocity. It was naturally unhappy with Die Ling's attitude.
Wen Shi was a bit surprised by Die Ling's stubbornness. He originally planned to have a chaotic battle, but since Die Ling wanted to fight the azure lion, then he would let them fight first and have a better judgment of the situation.
"Since you want to fight this poor monk's mount, then you can go first!" Wen Shi said.
"Injuries and deaths in a battle are unavoidable. There are no outsiders here so no matter what happens, it won't spread. If fellow daoist can see past this, then don't have any thoughts of taking Dark Yang Zi away. This matter will end here, alright? "
Gu Zheng looked calm on the surface but there was a fire burning in his heart.
"I wanted to say the same thing to fellow daoist but fellow daoist spoke first." Wen Shi sighed.
"Hehe."
Gu Zheng smiled and said to Die Ling, "Don't hold back, kill this azure lion!"
"Okay!"
Die Ling also smiled. She narrowed her eyes and licked her lips.
Gu Zheng flicked his finger and a dot of light floated in the air.
"The dot of light will disappear in three breaths. When it disappears, it will be time for the two of you to fight!"
Wen Shi didn't say anything to Gu Zheng's words and only looked at the azure lion.
"How many years has it been since I last fought? You better hold on a bit longer!"
Indigo Lion's body flashed and turned into a three-meter-tall, golden-haired, green-faced giant. He blew into his hands, and a broadsword that looked extremely heavy suddenly appeared between his empty hands.
Die Ling didn't respond to the azure lion's words and only smiled in disdain.
The light spots in the air disappeared as Indigo Lion raised his saber and slashed at Die Ling. The saber wind wrapped in the energy of heaven and earth was like a huge wave.
"It's far inferior to my master's Mad Demon Broadsword!"
Die Ling shook her head and smiled. Although the azure lion's attack was powerful, it didn't have any special effects in the space. It couldn't force people out of their teleportation state like Gu Zheng's Mad Demon Broadsword! Because of this, Die Ling used teleportation before the wind from the blade could reach her.
Die Ling could affect the five senses and spirit sense of others so she was very suitable for sneak attacks. Before she reached the Demon Emperor realm, she had successfully sneak attacked a Demon Emperor realm Golden Winged Eagle.
However, the azure lion wasn't ordinary either. Its ears twitched after Butterfly Spirit's teleportation. As soon as Die Ling appeared behind him, he swung his broadsword behind him!
