"How could this be? Feng Tou, you've already successfully forged the 'Time Formation Disc' once. Logically speaking, as long as the 'Time Formation Disc' is of the same grade as the last time, even if the success rate isn't 100%, it should be at least 80%! "Hearing Bai Feng's words, Gu Zheng said in surprise.
"I'm also very depressed. The 'Time Formation Disc' I forged is indeed the same as the last time, but I can't forge it again. I don't even know where the problem is!" Bai Feng frowned. His face was so bitter that it looked as if he was about to cry.
"A few days ago, the fellow daoist sent by the higher-ups who mastered the Dao of Time also left, and the resources given to me by the higher-ups are almost used up. If I can't forge the 'Time Formation Disc', I reckon that this new super refining master will completely become a laughing stock and lose the attention of the higher-ups." Bai Feng sighed.
"Feng Tou, don't worry. Let's try forging once first. Maybe we can find out where the problem is!"
Gu Zheng didn't have any good ideas for this kind of strange thing. He could only try to find out where the problem was through forging.
"I also have the same idea. I'll have to trouble you, fellow daoist!" Bai Feng said.
He wasn't in the mood to drink tea. Under Gu Zheng's request, Bai Feng brought him to the secret room of refining.
After a while.
The materials were the same, the steps were the same, but unfortunately, Bai Feng's first forging of the 'Time Formation Disc' with Gu Zheng's help still ended in failure.
"Damn it!"
After failing at the final stage of the forging, the angry Bai Feng fiercely threw the failed product of the forging onto the ground.
"Fellow daoist, don't worry. I think I know where the problem is."
Gu Zheng's voice paused, and then he said, "The last time I helped you forge the 'Time Formation Disc', I had a feeling that I was about to enter the mysterious realm. This time, the materials and techniques used by fellow daoist were fine. The power of time that I helped fellow daoist was also fine. The only thing that was missing was the feeling of wanting to enter the mysterious realm! Therefore, I think that fellow daoist's failure to forge the 'Time Formation Disc' should be related to my feeling of wanting to enter the mysterious realm! "
After listening to what Gu Zheng said, Bai Feng didn't know whether to laugh or cry! If what Gu Zheng said was true, then the reason why he was able to advance to become a super Weapon Refining Master was closely related to Gu Zheng's feeling at that time! Now, Gu Zheng no longer had the same feeling as before. He, a super master refiner, had been beaten back to his original form in refining the time array disc! What made him even more depressed was that if he had to completely rely on Gu Zheng, then would he, a super master blacksmith, really be a super master blacksmith?
Bai Feng didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Gu Zheng understood it very well. He didn't expect that Bai Feng could become a super refining master because of the feeling he had at that time.
"Feng Tou, don't be too depressed. It's not like the current situation can't be changed. That special feeling of mine will definitely not remain silent forever. Since you were able to become a super master blacksmith because of my intuition, when that feeling appears again and triggers the Mystical Realm, if I can gain something from it, you should also gain something! Perhaps at that time, even without my help, you will still be a qualified super master blacksmith! "
After listening to what Gu Zheng said, Bai Feng nodded. "What Fellow Daoist said makes sense. Then what do we do now? Should he continue refining the Time Array Disc? I don't have much materials here. I can only refine it three times. "
"It's okay. If you don't have the materials, I have enough to refine it three more times." Gu Zheng said.
"How can I have the nerve to use Fellow Daoist's materials!" Bai Feng smiled bitterly.
"There's nothing to be embarrassed about. I also don't want Fellow Daoist to be unable to refine the time array disc because of me."
Gu Zheng was very serious and gave Bai Feng the three sets of materials needed to refine the time array disc.
Bai Feng didn't say anything and immediately began refining the time array disc for the second time.
The second attempt at refining the Time Array Disc ended in failure as well. However, it was a good start for Gu Zheng. The feeling of wanting to enter the Mysterious Realm appeared once again!
The familiar feeling appeared again, but it wasn't unexpected! Since he was able to produce that mysterious feeling, it was like a seed that was buried deep in his heart. As for when it would take root and germinate, it was just a matter of how many times he stimulated it.
The third time he tried to refine the Time Array Disc, it still ended in failure. However, Gu Zheng's feeling grew even stronger because of this.
Refining the time array disc three times consumed a lot of Bai Feng's energy, so he had no choice but to stop and rest.
At night, the energetic Bai Feng prepared to refine the time array disc once more.
"Fellow Daoist, I feel very good about the refining this time!" Bai Feng looked at Gu Zheng and said.
"Similarly, I feel very good too!"
Gu Zheng laughed heartily. He didn't lie because he wanted to comfort Bai Feng. After resting for a few hours, he felt very good. This made him feel that the Mystical Realm might appear during the refining of the time array disc.
Gu Zheng's words made Bai Feng laugh heartily. He didn't say anything else and flicked his finger towards the furnace. The space within the furnace was immediately filled with purple flames.
Bai Fengtou threw the few metals needed to refine the Time Array Disc into the Furnace of the Heaven and Earth one after another. After these metals were mixed and melted, Bai Fengtou used his immortal energy to form a hammer and hammered the already solid solution.
After a while, Bai Feng threw the hammered metal into the quenching tank. The rolling white mist immediately became active.
After the white fog had settled down, Bai Feng threw the metal that had changed its color into the Furnace of the Heaven and Earth once more.
After going through Bai Feng's repeated hammering, the metal in the furnace finally turned into the embryonic form of the time array disc.
"Fellow Daoist, transfer the five times faster time energy into it!" Bai Feng said.
Gu Zheng reached out a hand, brushing through the void. The flames in the furnace began to ripple because of this. After he used the power of time that was five times faster, regardless of whether it was the burning of the furnace flames or Bai Feng's hammering, everything became extremely fast.
Looking at the blazing furnace fire and seeing Bai Feng's hammer rapidly falling, a wondrous feeling once again arose in Gu Zheng's heart. However, Gu Zheng also felt dizzy at this time for the first time. The feeling of wanting to enter the Mystical Realm became stronger, but it seemed to be just a little bit away. The door to the Mystical Realm didn't open for Gu Zheng. Gu Zheng seemed to be pacing back and forth outside the door.
"Fellow Daoist, transfer the three times slower time energy!"
In Gu Zheng's mind, the dizziness didn't last that long. However, the real situation was that the 'time formation disk' that was originally being hammered in the furnace had already been taken out of the furnace and placed on the carving table. Moreover, more than half of it had already been carved by Bai Feng.
Bai Feng's voice was like pouring wisdom into his head. Gu Zheng's dizziness instantly disappeared. He didn't care about the depression caused by the disappearance of the feeling and immediately sent the three times slower time energy to the carving table.
However, when Gu Zheng used the power of time that was three times slower on the carving table, an explosion occurred in his mind. The Mysterious Realm appeared at the most impossible time.
"It's actually here!"
After entering the Mystical Realm, Gu Zheng was unprecedentedly clear-headed. When he saw the scene in the Mystical Realm, he couldn't help but cry out in surprise.
When Gu Zheng first comprehended the Dao of Time, he had lived with the Mystical Realm's spirit for dozens of years. At that time, he had lamented under a big tree outside the courtyard. What exactly was he searching for?! Now that he had entered the Mystical Realm again, Gu Zheng was still under the big tree outside the courtyard. However, there was no longer the spirit in the courtyard who wanted to call him for dinner.
Gu Zheng originally wanted to enter the courtyard to take a look, but two thoughts flew out of his mind. One of them was black and the other was white. When they landed, they turned into the black and white version of himself that he hadn't seen in the Mystical Realm for a long time.
"Alternating prosperity and decline, the cycle of reincarnation. Life and death, death and life."
The black and white versions spoke at the same time and said the same thing.
When they finished speaking, the black and white versions waved at each other at the same time.
Ripples appeared in the air as the black and white versions waved their hands. This was the power of the Dao being used.
The black version of himself began to age at a speed visible to the naked eye. He quickly turned from a young man to a middle-aged man.
The white version of himself began to age at a speed visible to the naked eye. He quickly turned from a young man to a teenager.
"Alternating prosperity and decline, the cycle of reincarnation. Life and death, death and life."
The same words were said by the black and white versions again. They used the power of the Dao to wave at each other again.
This time, not only did ripples appear in the air, but there was also a strong wind in the surroundings.
The black version of himself turned from a middle-aged man to an old man, then from an old man to a withered skeleton, then from a withered skeleton to nothingness.
The white version of himself turned from a teenager to a baby, from a baby to an embryo, and from an embryo to nothingness.
Gu Zheng quietly looked at the nothingness in front of him. His expression was like an ancient well without any ripples. He had already entered the state of enlightenment.
Time passed bit by bit. Gu Zheng's body was motionless. The surrounding environment also changed at this time.
The surrounding trees, buildings, and landforms changed rapidly as time went back until they became nothingness. Then, time began to speed up again. Some things were born in the original nothingness. They gradually turned into trees, buildings, and the like. In the end, it became nothingness again.
Gu Zheng felt that the surroundings were very quiet. It was so quiet that there was not even a trace of wind. There was a smile at the corner of his mouth. It was a smile full of confidence.
After a while, Gu Zheng, who had his eyes closed, opened his eyes. After he stretched out his hand and brushed the air, the original nothingness quickly went back until it became the familiar house and the old tree in front of Gu Zheng's door.
Gu Zheng waved his hand a second time. Time went forward in a certain area. The white version of himself finally returned to his original appearance from nothingness.
Gu Zheng waved his hand a third time. Time went back in a certain area. The black version of himself finally returned to his original appearance from nothingness.
Gu Zheng smiled at the black and white versions of himself. When he waved his hand a fourth time, the black and white versions of himself turned into two thoughts and returned to his mind! At that moment, the surroundings became exactly the same as when Gu Zheng had just entered the Mystical Realm. Cracks appeared on it under Gu Zheng's gaze. In the end, it shattered into pieces.
Gu Zheng left the Mystical Realm. A large amount of information surged into his mind. When he sat down cross-legged to absorb the information, he saw that Bai Feng, who was originally carving the time array disc, was motionless as if he had been fixed in place.
Gu Zheng understood that Bai Feng had also entered the Mystical Realm because he had comprehended the dao.
Gu Zheng was not sure what kind of dao Bai Feng could comprehend in the Mystical Realm. However, he was sure that since everything had started because of him, it would also end because of him. As long as Bai Feng could comprehend something in the Mystical Realm, he would not have to worry about refining the time array disc in the future.
Gu Zheng used some time to digest the information. When he opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was an extremely excited Bai Feng.
"Fellow Daoist, I just entered the Mystical Realm. I comprehended the dao there!" Bai Feng said excitedly.
"It's a pity that you did not comprehend the dao of time because of me!"
Gu Zheng smiled. He knew that Bai Feng did not comprehend the dao of time because for a grand dao like the dao of time, there should be a blessing from the world when one first comprehended it.
"Although it's not a grand dao like the dao of time, being able to comprehend the dao of refining still means a lot to me! I believe that when I work with someone who has grasped the dao of time, I will not be unable to refine the time array disc anymore. "
Bai Feng's excited voice paused. Then, he said longingly, "Fellow Daoist, what dao did you comprehend? Did you raise the power of time to the intermediate level? If so, I would like to try refining a new Time Formation Disc! "
Gu Zheng had previously guessed that if he could comprehend the dao while Bai Feng was refining the time array disc, then the dao he comprehended should be the intermediate level dao of time. This was something that Bai Feng had heard him mention before.
"That's right. My control over the power of time has increased to the intermediate level! I also want to see if the two of us can work together after comprehending the dao to forge a better time array disc! "Gu Zheng said with a smile.
"I am confident that I can forge a better time array disc!" Bai Feng said seriously.
After the two of them rested for a while, they started refining the time array disc again.
As expected of someone who had comprehended the dao of refining, Bai Feng's method of refining the time array disc was clearly different this time. When he handled some of the steps, he was clearly more proficient than before.
Finally, Bai Fengtou's second time formation disk was successfully forged. Bai Fengtou was so excited that he thanked Gu Zheng again and again. He held the second time formation disk and kissed it repeatedly.
Compared to the first time array disc, Bai Feng's second time array disc was stronger. The excited Bai Feng immediately decided that he would bring the second time array disc to the heavenly court tomorrow and ask for refining resources from the people above. He also wanted someone who had grasped the dao of time to help him.
The next day, Gu Zheng and Bai Feng left Alioth Peak together. Bai Feng headed to the heavenly court, while Gu Zheng went to find Lan Yue.
Lan Yue had already informed the people and left the immortal camp with Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng was going to let Lan Yue try to comprehend the dao of speed. It was a branch of the true wood dao of the five elements.
The reason why Gu Zheng's dao of the five elements was complete was not only because of the spirit will projection that Le Xian left in the Dao Preaching Palace, but also because of Gokusen's nurturing. He was willing to give him those extremely precious five element origin pills and spirit pills as a reward when he was still very weak. This allowed him to lay the foundation of the five elements in advance.
Things like the Five Elemental Origin Pill and Spirit Pill were very precious. Even with Gu Zheng's current cultivation, he couldn't refine them. And those things all came from the hands of the saint immortal. Even if Gokusen was also a saint immortal, it would be extremely difficult for him to get those things from the old man! So among Gokusen's disciples, other than Gu Zheng who had eaten five element spirit pills, the others hadn't even eaten all five element origin pills! For example, Lan Yue had only eaten fire, water, and earth elemental pills. He hadn't eaten the more precious wood elemental pills and gold elemental pills.
Although he hadn't eaten the wood elemental pills and gold elemental pills, Lan Yue had still refined his natal wood and grasped the power of wood through his own cultivation.
Wind belonged to the wood element of the five elements. By grasping the power of wood, there was a higher chance of comprehending the dao of speed. This was also the reason why Gu Zheng arranged for Lan Yue to enter the Dao Preaching Palace.
After arriving at the Star Ruins Mountain and telling Lan Yue which immortal palace to enter, Gu Zheng asked, "Senior brother, how do you feel?"
"I feel very good. But comprehending the dao doesn't mean that you'll be able to comprehend the dao just because you feel good."
Lan Yue paused and patted Gu Zheng's shoulder. "Junior brother, don't worry. Even if I can't comprehend the dao in this Dao Preaching Palace, my state of mind won't be affected!"
"I'm relieved that senior brother can say so."
Gu Zheng originally wanted to comfort Lan Yue. Even if she couldn't comprehend the dao this time, there would still be a chance next time! However, since Lan Yue could accept it, he also believed that there were some things that Lan Yue could also think of without him saying anything. Therefore, he didn't say anything else.
Lan Yue entered the Dao Preaching Palace to receive the Dao preaching. Gu Zheng looked down at the Star Ruins Mountain and couldn't help but smile.
"What's wrong? Are you very satisfied with the Star Ruins Mountain?" asked the Artifact Spirit.
"I'm very satisfied! The Star Ruins Mountain is really too useful. Just the Dao Preaching Palace alone, how many dao techniques will my senior brothers and sisters master in the future? This is something that they didn't even dare to imagine in the past! "said Gu Zheng.
The Artifact Spirit nodded. "The Dao Preaching Palace's remarkable ability is indeed too powerful. When this remarkable ability is completely restored in the future, it will simply be a replica of the dao technique. Your senior brothers and sisters will also benefit from it!"
"Seven days. After seven days, I'll go to the Poison Swamp to try my luck. If my luck is good enough, when I return from the Poison Swamp, it will be time for me to begin the restoration of the Star Ruins Mountain." Gu Zheng smiled with high fighting spirit.
