"You know the original function of the seventh consciousness. It is responsible for moving out the seed of karma that has matured in the eighth consciousness, causing people to bear the karma. This dot should be the Mark of Evil Karma! "Gokusen said.
Gu Zheng frowned, "Master, although karma has always been there, I have never heard of such a thing as a mark, right?"
"Your seventh consciousness is different, so it is not strange for such a mark to appear. Moreover, since such an unusual situation as a mark has appeared, the tribulation you will face may not be ordinary. "
Seeing that Gokusen's expression was not very serious, Gu Zheng asked again, "Master, do you mean that even if I have the Mark of Evil Karma, it does not mean that the tribulation I will face will be very powerful?"
"That is exactly what I mean! Therefore, my disciple, you do not have to worry too much about this matter. After all, it is only your seventh consciousness, not an independent person. It still has rules that bind it. Otherwise, judging from its hatred towards you, wouldn't it cause you endless trouble? Moreover, even if you die, it will still disappear! "
After listening to Gokusen's analysis, Gu Zheng first thought of a word to describe the seventh consciousness: "rebellious".
"In addition, I feel that since it does not release karma according to common sense, you should be able to sense it before your tribulation! And this mark should disappear at that time. Moreover, with your current cultivation, even the Immortal Slaying Thunder Tribulation will not be able to stop your growth, let alone this little trouble from the seventh consciousness. "Gokusen laughed.
"By the way, why did Master ask me to come here today?" Gu Zheng asked.
"I asked you to come here today to attend a gathering in the Heavenly Court with me." Gokusen said.
The operation of the Celestial Star Battle Formation was related to the stability of the Heavenly Realm, and at the same time, it also affected the time of the Chaos Tribulation. Therefore, the ten Sages had been busy maintaining the operation of the Celestial Star Battle Formation.
Now that the operation of the Celestial Star Battle Formation had reached a cycle, the Sages had a year to rest, and this gathering in the Heavenly Court was held. During this gathering, the Saints would also talk about the Chaos Tribulation.
The location of the gathering was the Jade Dew Hall in the Heavenly Court. There were less than a hundred participants, and the scale of the gathering was even higher than the Heavenly Peach Gathering held by the Queen Mother.
Without staying at Zhenxiu Palace for long, Gokusen left with Gu Zheng.
The reason Gokusen brought Gu Zheng out was not to the Jade Dew Hall but to Taishang Laojun's Bajing Palace.
The Ten Great Sages would be attending the gathering this time. They would first meet with Taishang Laojun before heading to the Jade Dew Hall together.
After leading Gu Zheng for an hour, Taishang Laojun's residence, Bajing Palace, appeared in front of them.
A Daoist child welcomed them at the entrance. Gokusen and Gu Zheng followed the Daoist child to the reception hall of Bajing Palace.
There were already four people in the reception hall. Before coming here, Gokusen had already told Gu Zheng the appearance of the other Sages. Gu Zheng immediately recognized the old Daoist with white hair and a youthful face sitting on the main seat. He was the legendary Laozi. The white-haired old Daoist sitting opposite Laozi was the Primeval Lord of the Sages. Behind Laozi and the Heavenly Lord stood a young Daoist. They were the disciples of Laozi and the Primeval Lord of the Sages. Their names were Dao Xinzi and Luo Qiuzi.
"Greetings, Senior Brothers!"
Gokusen bowed to Laozi and the Primeval Lord of the Sages.
After Laozi and the Primeval Lord of the Sages returned the greetings to Gokusen, it was Gu Zheng and the other juniors' turn to greet the seniors.
After greeting the juniors, Laozi took the lead and said, "Junior Brother, you are really lucky to find a disciple who has survived the Immortal Destroying Thunder Tribulation. Congratulations!"
"Our Tribulation Transcending Disciples are all extraordinary. Gu Zheng just happened to encounter the Immortal Exterminating Tribulation Thunder and was lucky enough to survive it! If it were the disciples of my senior brothers, I don't think they would die under the Immortal Annihilation Thunder Tribulation if they also encountered it. "
Gokusen smiled. Anyway, he had used some means on the day of Gu Zheng's tribulation. In the House of Storms, only he and Le Xian could see how Gu Zheng survived the tribulation, the others had no idea at all. But then again, Gokusen's words were not wrong. Gu Zheng did survive the tribulation, but other than that, one could also rely on various fairy weapons and formations. Therefore, if the disciples of other Sages encountered the Immortal Destroying Thunder Tribulation, they might not have been killed by the Immortal Destroying Thunder Tribulation.
"We all know how powerful the Immortal Destroying Thunder Tribulation is. It's really powerful. Junior Brother, you are too modest!" Laozi shook his head and smiled.
"Junior Brother, this disciple's strength is not bad. How about his attainments in the Way of Eating?" The Primeval Lord of the Sages asked.
"He's the first one after me!"
Hearing Gokusen's words, not to mention the Primeval Lord of the Sages, even Laozi, who had closed his eyes, opened his eyes and looked at Gu Zheng again.
"Junior Brother, this disciple is really amazing. I remember many years ago, I heard from you that it was very difficult to find a disciple with a Taoist Heart. But I didn't expect that this disciple with a Taoist Heart is your disciple who has gone through the tribulation. This is really worthy of celebration! In the past, I would inevitably ask you to cook some delicious dishes to liven up the atmosphere, but this time, I want to taste your cooking skills! "The Primeval Lord of the Sages laughed.
"I think you'd better forget it! Your disciple's cooking skills are not as good as your master's. With your master's delicious dishes in front of you, won't the dishes cooked by your disciple be difficult to swallow? "
A rough male voice sounded. A man with two horns on his head, blood-red skin and many strange patterns, walked into the reception hall with a woman in black, who also had two horns on her head.
"Your disciple's cooking skills are not as good as your master's, but as an elder, if you don't tolerate your junior's cooking skills, you don't have to eat the dishes cooked by your junior."
Gokusen understood why Cyathea spoke with sarcasm. He must have known that his disciple, the Blood Demon Venerable, had died at the hands of Gu Zheng on the Star Ruins Mountain.
"Tolerate? I tried my best to send my disciple to the Star Ruins Mountain, but he died at the hands of your disciple. How hypocritical would it be for me to tolerate him? "
Cyathea's words made the eyebrows of the other three Sages twitch. Gu Zheng had some understanding of Cyathea from his conversation with Gokusen.
According to Gokusen, there were originally only nine Sages. Cyathea was one of the nine Sages that appeared during the last Chaos Tribulation. He was an unexpected variable at that time! The coexistence of immortals and demons in the Untainted Land was not entirely because everyone had a high enough understanding of things. Another reason that could not be ignored was that there was a Sage Demon, Cyathea! Moreover, Gokusen had told Gu Zheng that Cyathea was the most difficult to talk to among the Sages. He was also the one who was the least like a Sage.
"Cyathea, pay attention to your status! You're already a Sage, so some things must be handled according to the standards of a Sage. Your disciple died at the hands of Gu Zheng, but this also means that he was not lucky enough. His death is part of the Heavenly Dao's reincarnation! Now that you're saying these words, could it be that you still want to do something to Gu Zheng? If you really dare to do something to Gu Zheng without caring about your status, you'll be punished by the Heavenly Dao! "
Laozi's serious words did not reduce Cyathea's anger. He looked at Gu Zheng and said, "Shouldn't you give me the storage belt you got from Blood Evil?"
Gu Zheng was not surprised that Cyathea would speak and act like this, because Gokusen had already told him in Zhenxiu Palace that Cyathea might say something today.
"Don't you have any sense of seniority? Or do you not know how to speak? "
Cyathea frowned and looked at Gu Zheng. He did not catch the storage belt flying towards him.
"Of course I know how to speak, but I'm not hypocritical because of your influence! Venerable Blood Evil wanted to plot against me on the Star Ruins Mountain, but was killed instead. He deserved to die! Senior, you only care about your anger, but you should know that I am also angry! "
Cyathea was not easy to talk to, but neither was Gu Zheng. Even if Cyathea's status was high and his strength was unrivaled, Gu Zheng had no reason to fear him! At most, he would be taught a lesson. As for killing someone, Cyathea did not dare. Even the Heavenly Dao did not allow a Sage like him to do something so out of line.
"You've got guts. I haven't seen such a courageous Junior in a long time!"
Another man's voice rang out. A slightly thin Daoist with a somewhat cold expression walked into the reception hall with a young woman. He was none other than Tongtian of the Saints.
Cyathea did not look at Tongtian, nor did he respond. He smiled coldly at Gu Zheng, his eyes instantly turning blood red.
Even though Gu Zheng closed his eyes in time and activated the Mind Soothing Art, his head still hurt. It was as if someone had punched him in the head, making him see stars.
Gokusen looked at Cyathea and frowned. Cyathea grinned at Gokusen. The space between the two exploded and a circular shockwave spread outwards.
Laozi waved his horsetail whisk and the shockwave disappeared. Both Cyathea and Gokusen took half a step back.
"Enough! Do you want to fight in my Eight Visions Temple? "
Laozi's voice was calm and without anger.
Laozi knew that Cyathea would bring up the matter of his disciple's death. It was inevitable that he would teach Gu Zheng a lesson. As Gu Zheng's master, Gokusen would definitely take action. Alas, it was time to stop here. Both Cyan Fern and Gluttony Immortal wouldn't allow this to continue.
Gokusen patted Gu Zheng's shoulder and sat back down.
Cyathea also sat down. Even though he did not care about the storage belt in the air, his tribulation passing disciple waved his hand and tried to take it away.
However, Cyathea's tribulation passing disciple was unable to take the storage belt away. It flew towards Gu Zheng like a bolt of lightning.
"Since someone disregards his status as a Sage and wants to bully the weak, then some things need to be said! Cyathea had an alliance with my disciple, Jadewave, in the Death Mist. However, he betrayed us and harmed Jadewave, causing Jadewave to be injured. I'll take his storage belt as compensation. That's not too much, is it?
Le Xian walked into the reception hall alone. Her cold face was filled with anger.
Cyathea frowned as he looked at Le Xian, then at Gu Zheng. A mocking expression appeared on his face. "I was wondering why you were protecting Gu Zheng. It turns out that your relationship with him has changed!"
"It's good that you know!" Le Xian said coldly.
"This gathering seems to be very lively!"
"Of course it will be!"
"Oh? Junior brother, why do you say that? "
"Because of Sage Kui's disciple, Gu Zheng! Senior brother, there's something you might not know. The person who killed Cyan Lion's mount was Gu Zheng! "
Two monks walked into the guest hall, echoing each other. They were Zhun Ti and Jie Yin of the Sages! Behind each of them was a young monk, who was their Tribulation Transcendence disciple.
Most people's attention was on Gu Zheng. They were unaware of the conflict between Gu Zheng and Bodhisattva Wenhi. After all, the Sages were no longer omniscient after the chaos tribulation.
"Gu Zheng, interesting!"
"Yes, very interesting!"
Jieyin and Zhunti looked at Gu Zheng and smiled. Their words were meaningful.
Since they did not make things difficult for him, Gu Zheng saluted Jieyin and Zhunti as a junior.
"That's incredible. I thought Gu Zheng only had a conflict with my disciple. I didn't expect him to have so many conflicts!"
A pleasant female voice sounded as Emperor NvWa led Xiao Qi into the guest hall.
At least Emperor NvWa's expression was calm. However, Xiao Qi, whose doppelganger had been killed by Gu Zheng, had not recovered to her peak strength. When she looked at Gu Zheng, her eyes were as cold as a blade.
"It seems that Gu Zheng also has a conflict with Emperor NvWa's disciple?" Cyathea smiled.
"There is a conflict."
Emperor NvWa said indifferently, as if she did not want to talk about it.
"I thought I was early, but it seems that I'm the last one."
A slightly ethereal female voice sounded. A young woman in the most gorgeous clothes, who was more beautiful than Le Xian and Emperor NvWa, entered the guest hall with a young girl. This young woman with a stunning appearance and fluttering clothes was Tian Wu, one of the Ten Great Sages. As for the young girl behind her, she was naturally her disciple who was undergoing the tribulation.
Among the Ten Great Saints, Tian Wu had the shortest cultivation time. She was currently in the Reception Hall.
The Glutton Immortal had once told Gu Zheng that Tian Wu's combat strength was the strongest among the Ten Great Sages in terms of personal strength, not including the immortal weapon.
Gokusen had such a high opinion of Tian Wu, so Gu Zheng naturally paid attention to her.
Tian Wu did not look at Gu Zheng. Instead, the disciple behind her gave Gu Zheng a smile.
The Ten Great Sages had all arrived. The previous incident was just a small interlude. After Laozi said a few things, the Sages brought their respective disciples and teleported to the Jade Dew Hall in the Heavenly Court with spatial magic.
In the Jade Dew Hall, apart from the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother, the rest of the people who were qualified to attend the gathering were still waiting in the side hall.
After Laozi said a few words to the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother, the people in the side hall began to pay their respects. The originally empty Jade Dew Hall soon became lively.
Due to the Immortal Annihilating Thunder Tribulation, Gu Zheng was in the limelight when the Saint Immortals introduced their respective disciples.
After that, Laozi said a few more things about the Chaos Tribulation. Gu Zheng knew some of these things, but he also heard some of them for the first time.
After Laozi finished what he wanted to say, the atmosphere became somewhat oppressive due to the Chaos Tribulation.
The Queen Mother clapped her hands, and a group of Immortals entered the Jade Dew Hall and began to sing and dance.
Wine, dried fruits, and the like were served first. As Gokusen's disciple, Gu Zheng left the banquet to prepare the delicious food.
In fact, Gu Zheng wasn't the only one who needed to do something. The purpose of the gathering was for the Sages' disciples to be introduced to the immortals. After Gu Zheng left, the other disciples of the Sages also showed off their skills to liven things up.
When the banquet truly began, most people were full of praise for Gu Zheng's culinary skills. A very few people, such as Empress Wa's party, didn't express their opinions. Of course, there were also those who didn't eat a single bite, such as the Demon Sovereign of Woodfern and his tribulation disciples.
With his master's cooking skills as a comparison, Gu Zheng didn't expect the results to be particularly good this time. He only responded politely to the praises and didn't really take them to heart.
Toasts were exchanged and laughter were exchanged. Overall, the atmosphere in the Jade Dew Hall was quite pleasant.
When the banquet was halfway through, the tribulation disciples of the Sages gathered together and began to communicate in their circle. During this time, many people came over to propose a toast. The Mark of Evil Karma on Gu Zheng's arm also disappeared at that time. He didn't know who would bring about this calamity, but he knew that it would appear soon.
After returning to his seat, Gu Zheng's thoughts churned.
Originally, Gu Zheng planned to immediately set off for the Death Mist after the banquet. Now, it seemed that this matter couldn't be delayed.
In the past, Gu Zheng thought that after becoming a Quasi-Sage, he would go to the Star Ruins Mountain and the subsequent matters would be simple and easy. But now, this seemingly simple matter was no longer so simple! The reason Gu Zheng thought this way wasn't just because of the disappearance of the Mark of Evil Karma. It could only be said that the disappearance of the Mark of Evil Karma had connected some of his previous guesses.
When Cyathea the Demonlord mentioned the Star Ruins Mountain in the Eight Visions Palace, Gu Zheng thought that Cyathea the Demonlord did it on purpose.
Perhaps some of the Sages didn't know what kind of place the Star Ruins Mountain was, but since Cyathea mentioned it in the Eight Visions Palace, it meant that he wanted people to know. Therefore, the Star Ruins Mountain that no one knew about before was now known by many people.
When Gu Zheng searched Venerable Blood Demon's soul, he found out that the reason Venerable Blood Demon was able to find the Star Ruins Mountain was because Cyathea the Demonlord had left a trace of mysterious energy in his mind. He found the Star Ruins Mountain through this trace of energy.
In Venerable Blood Demon's memory, Cyathea the Demonlord only had a trace of the energy that allowed Venerable Blood Demon to find the Star Ruins Mountain. Gu Zheng didn't take this matter too seriously before. But now, the disappearance of the Mark of Evil Karma raised doubts in Gu Zheng's mind. Was there really only a trace of the energy that allowed Cyathea the Demonlord to lead others to the Star Ruins Mountain? After all, Venerable Blood Demon only had a trace of that energy. This was only a judgment that Venerable Blood Demon had made after analyzing some matters. It wasn't absolute!
"Master …"
Gu Zheng transmitted his guess to Gokusen via voice transmission.
"Although the Sage Immortals can't obtain the items that have been taken into the Untainted Land by the Heavenly Dao, they can tell their disciples and outsiders. If Cyathea really gave the energy that allowed him to find the Star Ruins Mountain to others, it wouldn't be against the rules, "Gokusen transmitted.
