Seeing the curiosity in Gu Zheng's eyes, Gokusen said, "Outside the 33 Heavens isn't like what I understand. It's not that there's no time or direction here. It's indeed easy to get lost in the chaos, but as long as one's cultivation reaches Jin Xian's level, there's no such thing as getting lost here. As for time, it's just that the environment here is a little special. It makes people feel like everything is still, but in fact, the flow of time here is the same as in the Primordial World. "
"Master, although the flow of time is the same as in the Primordial World, it should be easier for people to enter a state of enlightenment outside the 33 Heavens, right? I can feel a different kind of tranquility here. This feeling makes one's heart calm, "Gu Zheng said.
"That's right. This is the benefit of cultivating outside the 33 Heavens," Gokusen said with a smile.
"Master, the energy here isn't Immortal Essence. You Sage Immortals naturally have a way to absorb it, but how do servants like Sun Yaoyao cultivate?" Gu Zheng asked curiously.
"As long as they have a master-servant relationship with a Sage Immortal, they can naturally absorb the energy outside the 33 Heavens. However, this kind of contract can't be changed. Once they acknowledge a master, they will be a servant for life," Gokusen said.
"Master, why do Sage Immortals live outside the 33 Heavens? Apart from what I said before, which is that this place can make people calmer, what other benefits are there? "Gu Zheng asked again.
"The position of a Sage is fixed. Every Sage Immortal is the pillar of their plane. Outside the 33 Heavens is where Sage Immortals should be. Cultivating here not only increases the stability of the plane, but also allows one to obtain additional power of a Sage Immortal during cultivation," Gokusen said.
Gu Zheng was enlightened. "So that's how it is!"
"Disciple, if we can survive this Chaos Tribulation, the Primordial World will be promoted to a higher plane! When that happens, the mortal world, Primordial World, Heaven Realm, Heavenly Court, and the 33 Heavens will all change the flow of time. "
Gokusen's words made Gu Zheng think of the terrifying flow of time outside the circle. For a moment, he did not say anything. He just followed Gokusen through the chaos outside the 33 Skies.
About the time it took to brew a cup of tea, a huge palace appeared in front of them. The plaque above the door was engraved with three large, shining words — Zhenxiu Palace.
After entering Zhenxiu Palace, Gokusen led Gu Zheng straight to the front hall.
Gu Zheng didn't know that Le Xian was waiting in the front hall, so he was quite surprised when he saw Le Xian.
"Greetings, Martial Aunt!" Gu Zheng greeted Le Xian.
"Martial Nephew, you may rise!" Le Xian nodded and smiled at Gu Zheng.
"Junior Sister, you're so impatient. I've only reunited with my disciple for a day and you've already found your way to Zhenxiu Palace." Gokusen smiled.
"How can I not be impatient? With the speed of my Martial Nephew's cultivation progress, it's better to establish contact as soon as possible. Otherwise, when my Martial Nephew becomes a Sage-to-be, won't I suffer a great loss? "
Originally, Gu Zheng felt that Le Xian was very amiable. Now that he saw her talking to Gokusen, it really felt like the relationship between a Junior Sister and a Senior Brother. However, after thinking about it, Gu Zheng also felt that this was very normal. Cultivation was about cultivating one's true self. It was normal to be aloof when facing people unrelated to you. However, if you were still aloof when facing people related to you, then it was really abnormal.
"Haha …"
Gokusen laughed heartily and then said, "I'm going to make preparations for Gu Zheng to become a Sage-to-be. You can establish contact with him now."
"Thank you, Senior Brother!" Le Xian smiled.
Without saying anything more, Gokusen nodded at Gu Zheng and then left.
"Martial Nephew, you're only able to establish such a special connection with me because you've received my Divine Consciousness by chance. You're able to share the Saint Celestial Force that you've produced during your growth with your master! I'm going to establish this connection with you soon. During this process, you don't need to do anything. You just need to empty your mind. After this connection is established, I hope that Martial Nephew can sincerely treat me as your Martial Uncle. This will affect the Divine Immortal Strength that I can receive! "Le Xian said.
"Martial Uncle, don't worry. The favor of imparting is very meaningful to me. I will sincerely respect Martial Uncle." Gu Zheng said.
Le Xian nodded and then began to cast the spell. Gu Zheng closed his eyes and emptied his mind.
After a while, a wonderful feeling arose in his heart. It resonated with the wave that came from Le Xian.
At this moment, Gu Zheng could clearly feel that Le Xian's feelings were intertwined with joy and relief. He also knew that Le Xian could understand his feelings at this moment. He really did want to help Le Xian.
"Martial Nephew, do you still remember that Martial Uncle said that I would give you an opportunity after establishing the connection?"
Le Xian started to communicate with Gu Zheng. This kind of communication through a special connection was very similar to mental communication. It felt very wonderful.
"I remember."
Gu Zheng paused for a moment before continuing, "Originally, I didn't know what kind of opportunity Uncle-Master wanted to give me. However, under this mysterious connection, I think I can read Uncle-Master's mind. Uncle-Master wants to sacrifice his 10,000 years of cultivation to give me an opportunity to comprehend the Dao!"
"Martial Nephew, do you like this opportunity?" Le Xian smiled and asked.
"Martial Uncle, actually, you don't need to do this. Even without this opportunity, I will still treat you as my Martial Uncle." Gu Zheng said.
"It's fine. It's only 10,000 years of cultivation. It's nothing to Martial Uncle. Consider this a gift from Martial Uncle to you!" Le Xian said.
"Thank you, Martial Uncle!"
Knowing that Le Xian really wanted to give this opportunity to him, Gu Zheng said nothing more. This exciting opportunity that was about to arrive was extremely significant to him.
In this wonderful state, Gu Zheng was able to understand many things about Le Xian. As a result, Gu Zheng knew that the loss of 10,000 years of cultivation that Le Xian was about to give him would not affect Le Xian as simply as Le Xian had described. Once this opportunity of almost 100% comprehension of Tao was given away, Le Xian would be in a relatively weak state for at least the next five years. In this state, it would not affect her to do some daily things. However, if the Chaos Tribulation appeared within these five years, Le Xian would need to fight with the foreign influences. This weakness would be a fatal crisis! Moreover, Le Xian only had one chance to give this opportunity to someone else in her life. She originally intended to give this opportunity to Fairy Bi Bo as a gift after her cultivation reached the late stage of Sage-to-be. However, Fairy Bi Bo died in the hands of Gu Zheng.
After a while, the wonderful connection between Le Xian and Gu Zheng disappeared. It seemed that everything was no different from before.
"Can Martial Uncle share the Holy Immortal's Power that I can produce when I grow up in the future?" Gu Zheng opened his eyes and asked.
"That's right, but you won't feel anything special."
Le Xian waved her hand and a table appeared in front of her. There was an antique seven-string zither on it.
Le Xian entered Tao through music. The opportunity that she wanted to give Gu Zheng was naturally produced in music.
Gu Zheng immediately emptied his mind and the wonderful sound of the zither rang out.
In the Doctrine Preaching Palace of Mount Star Ruins, Gu Zheng had heard Le Xian's Phantom Spirit play the flute. At that time, he thought that the sound of the flute was the best music in the world! Now, listening to Le Xian's True Body play the zither, Gu Zheng understood the gap between Le Xian's Phantom Spirit and her True Body in the Tao of music!
Gu Zheng could not describe how beautiful the sound of the zither was. Now, he did not want to think about anything. He just wanted to listen to the sound of the zither. It did not matter even if he died because of it.
The sound of the zither only rang for a moment and Gu Zheng had already entered a mysterious state.
In front of him was a wilderness with mountains, rivers and trees. It was the Spring Festival and everything was in a state of recovery.
Gu Zheng's heart was peaceful. He walked aimlessly in the wilderness.
At the same time, Gokusen appeared in the hall again.
"Didn't Senior Brother go to work? Are you worried? "
Spiritual communication did not affect Le Xian's playing of the zither.
"What's there to be worried about? I just heard you play the 'Four Seasons Immortal Music' and wanted to come over to see which season he would be enlightened in! "Gokusen said.
"Senior Brother, which season do you want him to be enlightened in?" Le Xian asked with a smile.
"I want him to be enlightened in winter. Winter is the season of desolation. He should be safer during the Chaos Tribulation then," Gokusen said.
"When I first established contact with Gu Zheng, I also learned some things about him. Senior Brother, you did not seem to teach Gu Zheng any powerful Immortal Skills. You did not even teach him any of your signature Immortal Artifacts. Why is that?" Le Xian asked curiously.
"I told Junior Sister before that a laissez-faire attitude is more conducive to the growth of disciples who are going through the Tribulation. As for why I didn't give him the immortal skills and immortal weapons, other than wanting him to rely on his own efforts, there's another important reason. I have a feeling that if I give him these powerful items, it won't be beneficial to him in the Battlefield of Fortuitous Encounters, "said the Immortal.
"I have always admired Senior Brother's foresight. It's a pity that my disciple was not lucky enough. I thought she would be able to get the Star Ruins Mountain. Who would have thought that she would die?" Le Xian said dejectedly.
"Junior Sister, there is no need to be sad. Everything is a coincidence. Although your disciple has died, you have a nephew who can provide you with the power of a Saint Immortal. When the time comes for the Chaos Tribulation, Senior Brother will help you more. You should not have any problems! "Gokusen said.
"Senior Brother, do you think we can survive the Chaos Tribulation this time?" Le Xian asked again.
"Heaven's secrets cannot be revealed."
Hearing Gokusen's words, Le Xian seemed to be relieved. Her eyes flashed slightly. First, she looked at Gu Zheng, and then at Gokusen.
"Senior Brother, I have asked my eldest disciple to investigate the matter you mentioned last time. I hope it is the place I saw back then!" Le Xian said.
"Thank you, Junior Sister!" Gokusen said with a smile.
"Now that I have a deep relationship with Gu Zheng, his business is my business. Senior Brother, you are treating me as an outsider." Le Xian said.
"Even so, Junior Sister, don't spoil him too much. It will only harm him!" Gokusen reminded her.
"Senior Brother, don't worry. Even you, as his master, do not dare to give him Immortal Skills and Immortal Artifacts. How can I, as his Martial Uncle, give him these?" Le Xian said.
"He stopped. It is summer!" Gokusen looked at Gu Zheng and said.
"Although it is not winter, which Senior Brother wanted, summer is the season of change. It is hard to say what will happen if he is comprehending during this season!" Le Xian said.
Gokusen nodded and then left the hall to do what he needed to do.
At the same time, Gu Zheng, who was in the Mystical Realm, was looking at the sky attentively.
The weather in the sky changed very quickly. The white clouds quickly condensed and turned into dark clouds that covered the sky. Then, a storm came.
In Gu Zheng's eyes, the changes in the weather were as quick as a merry-go-round. In just an extremely short amount of time, Gu Zheng experienced two rounds of alternating rain and shine.
"Rumble …"
Gu Zheng's mind seemed to have been struck by thunder. A large amount of information surged into his mind. He had comprehended the Dao from Le Xian's Four Seasons Immortal Music, and the scene in the Mystical Realm was shattered.
However, Gu Zheng's eyes were wide open. He did not pay attention to the information about comprehending the Dao. Instead, he stared at the weather in the sky, as if he was waiting for it to change again.
However, even if Gu Zheng did not want to, the Mystical Realm had already ended. He had no choice but to withdraw from it. He originally wanted to stare at the sky, but now, his actions became vague.
"Martial Nephew, what's wrong?"
Seeing Gu Zheng come out of the Mysterious Realm and not happily absorb the comprehensions within, Le Xian could not help but ask. Seeing this, Le Xian could not help but frown in confusion.
Le Xian's voice woke Gu Zheng up. He saw that Le Xian's face was a little pale, so he quickly asked, "Martial Aunt, are you alright?"
"I'm fine."
Le Xian shook her head and smiled. Her weak state was suppressed, and her face was rosy again.
"I'll absorb the comprehension in the Mystical Realm first. I'll tell Martial Aunt later, okay?"
Hearing Gu Zheng's words, Le Xian nodded. Gu Zheng immediately closed his eyes and absorbed the comprehension.
After the time it took for an incense stick to burn, Gu Zheng opened his eyes.
"Martial Nephew, what Dao did you comprehend?" Le Xian asked with a smile.
"The Dao of Transformations."
Gu Zheng was very excited. He had feelings for this kind of Dao. He was very envious of Lan Yue's Dao of Transformations.
"The Dao of Transformations?"
Le Xian was slightly disappointed.
Gu Zheng naturally understood. To Saint Immortals, the Dao of Transformations was just a small Dao. He also saw the disappointment on Le Xian's face, but it did not affect his happiness after grasping the Dao of Transformations.
"What level of Dao of Transformations?" Le Xian asked again.
"High-level Dao of Transformations!" Gu Zheng said.
"What? High-level Dao of Transformations? "
Le Xian's expression changed. The Mystical Realm brought by the Four Seasons Immortal Music could almost be said to allow one to comprehend the Dao. However, to be able to comprehend the Dao from the Four Seasons Immortal Music, the Dao one had comprehended would only be at the elementary or intermediate level. Yet, Gu Zheng had actually comprehended an advanced level. This had exceeded her expectations!
"That's right. It's the Advanced Dao of Transformations!" Gu Zheng repeated.
"The Elementary Dao of Transformations is the 72 Earthly Fiend Transformations. The Intermediate Dao of Transformations is the 36 Heavenly Dipper Transformations. There are more cultivators who have grasped the 72 Earthly Fiend Transformations. There are fewer cultivators who have grasped the 36 Heavenly Dipper Transformations. As for those who have grasped the 18 Mysterious Heaven Transformations, other than us Saint Immortals, there should be less than a handful of them in the entire Wilderness! "
Le Xian's voice paused. She seemed to have thought of something and immediately asked, "Martial Nephew, why did you feel disappointed after the state ended?"
"I felt that I could still comprehend something. It's a pity that the Mystical Realm ended."
Gu Zheng repeated the situation in the Mystical Realm.
"Amazing!"
Hearing Gu Zheng's words, Le Xian actually gave him a thumbs up.
"Martial Uncle, is this very amazing?"
Gu Zheng was a little confused.
"Each type of Power of Dao is divided into Elementary, Intermediate, Advanced, and Immortal Level. Under normal circumstances, cultivators' control of the Power of Dao is at the first three levels! Even Saint Immortals like us who have grasped various types of Power of Dao can only grasp one or two types of Power of Dao that can truly reach the Immortal Level. The Immortal Level and the first three levels of control are completely different. Even a small Dao like the Dao of Transformations cannot be underestimated as long as one's control reaches the Immortal Level. Although you haven't comprehended the Immortal Level Control yet, the feeling you had when the Mystical Realm was about to end was actually the seed of the Immortal Level Control! It will sprout at the right time and allow your control of the Dao of Transformations to reach the Immortal Level! "
Le Xian was a little excited. There was no reason for her not to be! After all, Saint Immortals only possessed one or two types of Immortal Level Control. However, Gu Zheng, who had not even become a Sage-to-be, had already obtained the seed of the Immortal Level Control of the Dao of Transformations! If this didn't happen by her side, she wouldn't even believe it was real. Moreover, every time Gu Zheng grew, he would produce the Power of Saint Immortals. If Gu Zheng really grasped the Immortal Level Power of Dao, then the Power of Saint Immortals he could produce would be more than what he could produce when he became a Sage-to-be!
"Hearing Martial Uncle's words, I am indeed a little excited. However, this still depends on the opportunity. It's something that is far away in the future!" Gu Zheng said.
"Under normal circumstances, even if you obtain the seed, it can be said to be something that is far away in the future. This is because no one can say for sure when the opportunity will appear! However, this is not the case for you. You haven't become a Sage-to-be yet and you still have the opportunity to become a Sage-to-be. Every time you reach the Mystical Realm, there is a possibility that it will affect the recovery of the seed! "
Hearing Le Xian's words, Gu Zheng couldn't help but feel excited. He began to look forward to the Mystical Realm when he became a Sage-to-be.
Gu Zheng chatted with Le Xian for a while more before Le Xian left Zhen Xiu Palace.
Gu Zheng went to find Gokusen. Gokusen was cooking some ingredients. He wanted to cook a food cultivation dish for Gu Zheng to help Gu Zheng become a Sage-to-be after the two of them.
It wasn't easy to become a Sage-to-be. This realm required the cultivator to fulfill four conditions.
First, his cultivation had to be at the peak of Daluo Jinxian.
Second, he needed to have a grasp of the Dao.
Third, he needed to be able to comprehend the Mystical Realm.
Fourth, he needed to pass the 99 Heavenly Tribulations after reaching the Mystical Realm.
Gu Zheng met the first two conditions. As for the third and fourth conditions, they were for Gokusen to help Gu Zheng.
The Mystical Realm wasn't the same. For example, the Mystical Realm that Le Xian brought to Gu Zheng and most of the Mystical Realms that Gu Zheng encountered before were just Mystical Realms that allowed one to comprehend the Dao. The Mystical Realm that one needed to reach the Sage-to-be was called the bottleneck.
