If this was before, Die Ling who wasn't known for her brute strength would've evaded Indigo Lion's powerful counterattack. But now, Die Ling was a Fiend Emperor and didn't think much of Indigo Lion.
She waved her Darkmoon Dagger and a black shadow appeared. It easily tore apart Indigo Lion's saber energy and left a bleeding wound on his body.
Indigo Lion was shocked that the saber energy could still injure his powerful body even after a portion of the black shadow's power had been reduced by the saber energy.
Although it was shocked, the azure lion reacted quickly. As it roared at Die Ling, it swung its sword at her again.
However, something even more unexpected happened. In the face of his powerful lion roar, the butterfly spirit actually opened her mouth and let out a long draconic roar!
The dragon roar suppressed the lion roar and the resulting shockwave easily destroyed the lion roar. It then hit Indigo Lion and forced him back a few steps.
"You're also a Fiend Cultivator!" Indigo Lion gritted his teeth with blood dripping from his mouth.
It wasn't easy to see what Die Ling was. Now that she'd reached the Fiend Emperor Realm, not only did she hide her identity from Indigo Lion who was also a Fiend Cultivator, but she also hid it from Bodhisattva Wen Shi.
"Are you surprised? There are still many things that can surprise you! "
Die Ling sneered and teleported again.
Indigo Lion's ears twitched and he swung his saber at where Die Ling was about to appear.
Die Ling used her Darkmoon Dagger to meet Indigo Lion's saber.
"Clang!"
The crisp sound of metal clashing rang out and Indigo Lion's eyes widened. The broadsword in his hand that he had refined for who knows how many years was actually cut in half by Die Ling's little dagger!
The Darkmoon Dagger was extremely powerful and could leave a scratch on the Sky Flipping Seal. Its sharpness didn't need to be mentioned.
Die Ling had comprehended the Dao of Tools in her mystical state after eating the food cultivator. It allowed immortal tools to explode with even more power in her hands! Gu Zheng's Tang Mo was already extremely sharp and could cut a high level immortal tool like Indigo Lion's saber in two at most! With Die Ling's Dao of Tools, the Darkmoon Dagger was sharper than Tang Mo! It wasn't strange that it could cut Indigo Lion's saber in half. It was because of this that Die Ling was able to easily break through the defenses of the two Yin Spirit Sect elders like she was chopping melons and vegetables.
The broadsword had been broken, and the remaining force of the Dark Moon Dagger once again landed on the indigo lion's body, adding a flesh wound to his lower abdomen.
"Arrogant Little Dragon!"
The Azure Lion was thoroughly enraged. His aura soared in an instant. His mouth became incomparably huge as if he was going to devour the heaven and earth.
A huge suction force came from the green lion's mouth. It was as easy as sucking in a sesame seed. He swallowed the butterfly spirit into his stomach.
Transformation Dao of't ''
Indigo Lion trembled and ripples appeared in the space around him.
Back in the day, Indigo Lion had once swallowed Sun Wukong. Alas, he wasn't strong enough back then and couldn't refine Sun Wukong even with the aid of medicinal wine. But now, the indigo lion had comprehended the power of Dao that could almost digest all things. Under the effect of this power of Dao, as long as the enemy's cultivation wasn't at the quasi-saint level, they would turn into a pool of blood in his stomach in a moment.
The indigo lion was powerful, but also tragic. Due to Gu Zheng's request before the battle, Die Ling had always suppressed her strength to the late Daemon King realm when she fought against the indigo lion when she wasn't confident in killing it. Thus, not only Indigo Lion, but even Bodhisattva Wen Shi couldn't tell that Die Ling was a Fey King realm cultivator.
After being swallowed by the azure lion, the effects of the Path of Transformation immediately appeared. The clothes on the surface of the butterfly spirit's body began to melt.
However, Die Ling wasn't alarmed. Whether it was the immortal realm or some other space, cultivators would instantly understand the strength of space. Though she was in Indigo Lion's stomach, this special environment was also a space. Die Ling naturally knew the limits of Indigo Lion's' '. Thus, she rejoiced that she'd entered the Fey King realm.
"Roar …"
Die Ling let out a dragon's roar and revealed her true form in Indigo Lion's stomach.
"Boom!"
Just a moment ago, Indigo Lion had been stroking its stomach with a look of enjoyment. Blood rained down from the sky as a huge dragon over fifty meters long appeared.
Wen Shi, who was sitting cross-legged in the air, could no longer remain calm. He suddenly stood up and sized up Die Ling.
Everything had happened so quickly that Wen Shi couldn't stop it in time. His mount had turned into a rain of blood.
"Your mount is dead, now it's your turn to fight my master."
Die Ling smiled at Wen Shi as if she wasn't the one who'd killed Indigo Lion.
"Fellow Daoist, are you coming?"
After the azure lion was killed by Die Ling, Gu Zheng's anger wasn't as great. At the same time, he understood that Wen Shi wouldn't fight with him in this situation unless he was tired of living.
Wen Shi looked at Gu Zheng in silence for a few breaths of time before speaking, "I'm really curious as to who you are!"
"If fate wills it, we'll meet again!"
Gu Zheng paused for a moment before continuing, "If we meet again, I don't want something similar to today to happen again! If something similar happens again, then you'll have to pray for yourself! "
"Haha …"
Wen Shi smiled. Without saying anything, he put away the Heaven-Earth Alms Bowl and left the Yin Spirit Sect on a cloud.
Plop …
The Yin Spirit School's people once again knelt before Gu Zheng. Bodhisattva Wen Shi had left, but his mount had disappeared. Although they didn't know what had happened inside the bowl, the result was very clear.
"Exalted Immortal, please let my Yin Spirit Sect off!"
The Yin Spirit Sect's Great Elder kowtowed to Gu Zheng. If Gu Zheng had wanted to kill him before, he would've resisted. But now, Wen Shi had left with his tail between his legs. When he thought about the worst-case scenario, his heart was filled with despair.
"Get up!" Gu Zheng said.
"Thank you, Exalted Immortal!"
The Yin Spirit Sect's Great Elder was overjoyed and quickly thanked Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng looked at Dark Yangzi and said, "I originally wanted you to give me an answer within ten breaths of time, but because of the matter with Bodhisattva Wen Shi, it has been delayed until now. You should have thought it through by now. What do you want me to help you with?"
"I want to follow Exalted Immortal!"
An Yangzi had indeed thought it through. He felt that following Gu Zheng was the best choice.
"You and I are not fated to be master and servant. Let's find someone else!"
Previously, Gu Zheng wanted to take An Yangzi in. However, An Yangzi was afraid and didn't agree. Thus, the master and servant relationship between him and Gu Zheng was broken.
Fate was very important to cultivators. It was also a very mysterious thing. Almost everything was about fate.
For a cultivator like Gu Zheng, fate was a feeling born from his sixth sense! If there was fate, cherishing fate was often a good thing. However, when fate ran out, one had to let go. Forcefully continuing fate would only bring disaster to oneself!
An Yangzi thought for a moment and said with disappointment, "Then let's do as Exalted Immortal said before."
Gu Zheng nodded and looked at the Yin Spirit Sect's Great Elder.
"Fellow Daoist, this is your compensation. The Yin Spirit Sect will no longer oppose you."
The Yin Spirit Sect's Great Elder handed over a storage belt to An Yangzi.
After leaving the Yin Spirit Sect, Gu Zheng took An Yangzi and flew for two days to find a suitable place to cook a food cultivation for An Yangzi.
With Gu Zheng's current cultivation, the Marrow Cleansing Food Cultivation he cooked was not as simple as the Marrow Cleansing Food Cultivation from before. This Marrow Cleansing Food Cultivation added ingredients from outside the circle. Not only could it make An Yangzi's physique more suitable for cultivation, but more importantly, it had the effect of countering the 'Seal of Dark Yang'. This would make An Yangzi's absorption of energy from outside the circle more effective in the future! As for this Marrow Cleansing Cultivation, it was the opportunity that Gu Zheng said he would give to Dark Yang Zi.
He was clear about his own body. After eating the Marrow Cleansing Food Cultivation, An Yangzi was shocked by the changes in his physique! At the same time, the regret of missing out on this opportunity due to fear was written all over his face.
An Yangzi did not ask for anything, so Gu Zheng compensated him in other ways. He gave An Yangzi some immortal equipment and cultivation resources, and also gave him the title deed of the Floating Mountain Immortal Cave. In any case, that title deed was already useless to Gu Zheng.
Facing Gu Zheng's generous gift, An Yangzi was naturally very grateful! However, Gu Zheng could not send him to the Floating Mountain Immortal Cave. At this point, he could be considered to have completed Daoist Master Wuya's task. As for how An Yangzi would walk in the future, it had nothing to do with him.
After completing Daoist Master Wuya's task, Gu Zheng returned to the Heaven Realm Immortal Camp.
In the following period of time, Gu Zheng taught Li Yao how to cook every day and discussed the Dao with Lan Yue. It could be considered as giving himself a short holiday.
The three months that Le Xian had said was quickly approaching. Gu Zheng left the Immortal Camp and headed towards the center of the Heaven Realm, the Jade Palace Golden Sky.
Above the Jade Palace Golden Sky was the legendary Heavenly Court. Gu Zheng had heard a lot of legends about this place.
Ten thousand rays of golden light rolled in red, thousands of auspicious qi sprayed out purple fog. The scenery outside the Heavenly Court was exactly the same as the legends.
Under normal circumstances, one would have to go through the Southern Heavenly Gate. On both sides of the Southern Heavenly Gate, there were two rows of golden armors descending from the heavens. They were holding halberds, whips, sabers and swords. Each and every one of them looked majestic.
"Clang …"
In the sound of metal clashing, the golden armors descended from the heavens and blocked the path with their weapons.
"Why have you come to the Southern Heavenly Gate?" The golden armoured Heavenly General closest to Gu Zheng asked.
Gu Zheng did not answer. He took out a jade tablet with the word "Gluttony" engraved on it.
The jade tablet was Gokusen's keepsake. Gu Zheng had also obtained it from the artifact spirit when he came to the Jade Palace Golden Sky.
The word "Gluttony" may seem simple, but even Gu Zheng would have a feeling of suffocation when he saw it, let alone these golden armoured Heavenly Generals whose cultivation level is lower than Jin Xian's.
"Clang …"
The sound of metal clashing rang out again. The two rows of golden armoured Heavenly Generals removed their weapons that were blocking the path. As the Heavenly Generals guarding the Southern Heavenly Gate, they naturally recognized some special items.
Corridors led to palaces. The immortal elemental energy on both sides of the corridors was so dense that it appeared to be in the form of mist. There were exotic flowers and herbs, as well as some immortal birds and immortal beasts.
"Hahahaha …"
Gokusen's hearty laughter rang out in Gu Zheng's mind. Just as the artifact spirit had said before, as long as he passed through the Southern Heavenly Gate, Gokusen would definitely know that he was here.
"Disciple, I'm very happy to know that you're here!"
Even though he could not see Gokusen's appearance, Gu Zheng could tell that Gokusen was really happy from his voice.
"Master, I'm very happy too!" Gu Zheng smiled.
"There are still three more days before we can have some free time. I won't talk to you anymore. I've already sent someone to pick you up. You can stroll around the Heavenly Court for the next three days. We'll meet again in three days!"
Gokusen's voice sounded as if it was getting further and further away. Gu Zheng was not disappointed by this. After all, there were still three days before the three months that Le Xian had mentioned. Gu Zheng had come to the Heavenly Court earlier because he wanted to hurry.
Since Gokusen had already sent someone to pick him up, Gu Zheng walked along the corridor unhurriedly.
"Compared to the Heaven Realm, there are really too few people in the Heavenly Court! I've been walking for the time it takes to brew a cup of tea. Other than seeing a group of Xian 'e passing by, I haven't seen anyone else. "Gu Zheng said to the artifact spirit.
"It's not like there aren't any others. Look, there's one in front …"
The artifact spirit could not continue speaking halfway. Even Gu Zheng's eyes widened as he looked at the middle-aged man walking towards him.
"Young Master!"
The middle-aged man was very happy to see Gu Zheng and called out to him from afar.
“***！”
Gu Zheng was amused. This middle-aged man who was walking towards him was none other than * * *!
"Young Master!"
* * * * grinned, as if he didn't know what to say other than calling Gu Zheng 'Young Master'.
"Hahahaha …"
Gu Zheng laughed loudly. After approaching * * * *, he kept patting him on the shoulder.
* * * * could be considered Gu Zheng's earliest servant. When Gu Zheng was still very weak, he played a big role in Gu Zheng's growth. At that time, Gu Zheng often used his name to scare those cultivators who had ill intentions towards him.
When Gu Zheng met * * * *, * * * * had already been stuck at the Return to Void Pinnacle Stage for many years. At that time, he was an old man who was about to die.
"It's only been a few years since we parted, but your cultivation has already risen from the Jin Xian Initial Stage to the Daluo Jinxian Initial Stage. This speed is quite fast!" Gu Zheng said with a smile.
Gu Zheng was not particularly surprised by * * * *'s cultivation speed. After all, * * * * went to Gokusen's residence in the Thirty-three Heavens! And to be Gokusen's servant, even if Gokusen did not have time to teach him, he definitely did not lack cultivation resources. In addition, the cultivation environment was good enough. It was not inconceivable that his cultivation could rise to the Daluo Jinxian Initial Stage in a few years.
"No matter how fast this old servant's cultivation increases, it can't compare to Young Master. For Young Master to appear in the Heavenly Court, your cultivation must have reached the Daluo Jinxian Pinnacle Stage. This is really worthy of celebration! " Said * * *.
"Ouyang, you comprehended the Dao of Life, right?"
Gu Zheng discovered the aura left behind by the Dao of Life from * * *'s body. This was also the reason why * * * * turned from old to middle-aged.
"Young Master, how do you know that this is the effect of the Dao of Life and not a transformation technique, or that you took some medicine to rejuvenate?" * * * * Asked curiously.
"Not only do I know that you have comprehended the Dao of Life, but I can also see that the Dao of Life you have comprehended is the Intermediate Dao of Life! Not bad, Daluo Jinxian Initial Stage cultivation can comprehend the Intermediate Power of Dao. It seems that after you went to the Thirty-three Heavens, your entire luck changed because of this! "Gu Zheng said with a smile.
"I understand now! Young Master has at least comprehended the Intermediate Dao of Life. That's why you can detect the aura left behind by the Power of Dao in the changes in my appearance. "
* * * * was very excited. The stronger Gu Zheng was, the happier he was. After all, Gu Zheng was his Young Master!
"Let's go. Take me around the Heavenly Court first. Let's find time to discuss the Dao of Life. The Dao of Life that I have mastered is at the Advanced level. Maybe you can gain something from discussing the Dao with me. "Gu Zheng said.
"Many thanks, Young Master!" * * * * hurriedly thanked him.
In the next three days, * * * * took Gu Zheng to visit many places in the Heavenly Court. He even took Gu Zheng to the Peach Garden that Gu Zheng was curious about. When they were not going out, Gu Zheng also discussed the Dao with * * * *.
Gu Zheng was never stingy with his own people. When he discussed the Dao with * * * *, he also said whatever he wanted to say. Although comprehending the Dao depended more on one's own perception and opportunities, when one already had the foundation of the Dao, some things like experience could play a greater role! Although these experiences were unlikely to improve one's level of control over the power of the Dao, it was easy to give birth to magical abilities on the power of the Dao.
For example, when Gu Zheng and * * * talked about the Dao of Life, Gu Zheng's control of the Dao of Life was at the Advanced level, while * * *'s control of the Dao of Life was at the Intermediate level. Gu Zheng had many magical abilities on the Dao of Life, while * * * had few. Among the magical abilities that Gu Zheng had mastered, some of them could be used by the Intermediate level of the Dao of Life, but * * * * didn't know how to use them, so Gu Zheng's experience would become very helpful to him.
Three days later, just as Gu Zheng was about to cook a few dishes and have a drink with * * *, Gokusen suddenly appeared beside him.
In the past, he had always seen Gokusen's Divine Sense Phantom Image, but now the white-robed and smiling Gokusen had appeared beside him. Even though he knew that he would meet Gokusen today, Gu Zheng was still stunned for a moment with mixed feelings.
"Greetings, Master!"
After being stunned for only a moment, Gu Zheng bowed to Gokusen.
"Disciple, please get up!"
Gokusen didn't use Immortal Qi, he used both hands to help Gu Zheng up.
"You and I, master and disciple, have finally met today. Master can't help but sigh with emotion. Your Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters have all been taught by me, and they have all stayed by my side for a long time or a short time. Only you! When Gokusen acknowledged you, Master was already so busy that I didn't have time to take care of you. Although it's for your own good, Master sometimes thinks that I'm too heartless to you. No matter what, among your Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters, Master owes you the most! "
Gokusen patted Gu Zheng's shoulder with a helpless smile on his dignified face.
Although he was a high and mighty Saint Immortal, whether it was in Gu Zheng's perception or in Lan Yue and Xiong San's narration, Gokusen was like a father. He might not have spent much time with you, but he always had you in his heart.
Just as the Glutton Immortal had said, he had chosen to let Gu Zheng do as he pleased. In his opinion, this was the right choice, but in his heart, he felt that he owed Gu Zheng. In the beginning, Gu Zheng resented Gokusen and even doubted what kind of master Gokusen was. Later, as he continued to grow, Gu Zheng also agreed with Gokusen's way of doing things. He also rejoiced that Gokusen had let him go. However, how could there be no stubbornness in the approval?
Now, Gokusen's words had undoubtedly melted Gu Zheng's stubbornness, causing the emotions that had been suppressed in his heart to erupt.
"Master!"
Gu Zheng felt uncomfortable in his heart. He bowed to Gokusen again.
This time, Gokusen didn't help Gu Zheng up. He just gently stroked Gu Zheng's hair with a gratified smile.
