"Senior Brother, the Buddhists seem to want to harm my Martial Nephew!"
While speaking, Le Xian finally placed a piece.
"I know."
Gokusen said lightly as he focused on the chessboard.
"Senior Brother, Gu Zheng's trip to the Poisonous Swamp should be accompanied by our sect's disciples?" Le Xian asked.
"There's no need."
Gokusen retracted his gaze from the chessboard and looked at Le Xian seriously. "Junior Sister, you don't have to worry about the danger that Gu Zheng is about to face. The same goes for me."
"Senior Brother, I don't understand."
Le Xian really did not understand. Although Gu Zheng was very powerful now, there were still some things that could threaten him. For example, the Buddhists were targeting him this time.
"Junior Sister, when did your fate change?"
Looking at Gokusen's smile, Le Xian was stunned for a moment before she said, "There are many big changes! For example, becoming an immortal cultivator, comprehending the Dao of Rhythm, mastering the seventh sense, making contributions during the first Chaos Tribulation, meeting Teacher, or becoming a Sacred Immortal. "
After Le Xian finished speaking, she looked at Gokusen who was smiling without saying a word. Her brows furrowed tighter and tighter. Then, her eyes lit up. "Senior Brother, it can't be?"
Le Xian was a little shocked. In the moment when she frowned, she thought of all the opportunities that could change one's fate and correspond to Gu Zheng. Gokusen would not have to worry about Gu Zheng's danger! There was only one possibility that she could think of, and that was that Gu Zheng had met Dao Ancestor Hongjun!
As the embodiment of the Heavenly Dao, Dao Ancestor Hongjun was not someone that one could meet whenever they wanted. Not to mention the veteran Sacred Immortals, for example, the Sacred Immortals who had become Sacred Immortals after the first Chaos Tribulation had all seen Dao Ancestor Hongjun before they became Sacred Immortals! For Sacred Immortals who had such experiences, the significance of meeting Dao Ancestor Hongjun was almost equivalent to a guarantee of a Sacred Immortal's position. Their fate would change because of it.
"After Gu Zheng obtained the Astral Void Mountain, his Life Providence changed greatly. This is extremely abnormal. The only explanation is that he had already met Master before he obtained the Astral Void Mountain."
As Gu Zheng's master, Gokusen could see many things from Gu Zheng that other Saint Immortals could not.
"Didn't Gu Zheng tell Senior Brother about such an important matter?" Le Xian asked doubtfully.
"It's not strange. It's not because of him. It's just that this matter is part of the mysteries of the heavens, and he can't bring himself to tell anyone about it. Just like when Junior Sister met Teacher, did Junior Sister ever think of telling a second person about this matter? "Gokusen asked.
Le Xian suddenly understood and said, "Indeed, as Senior Brother said, I had that kind of feeling back then."
"If you weren't Gu Zheng's half-master, even if I had guessed it, I wouldn't have dared to tell you!" Gokusen sighed.
"Senior Brother, if that's the case, won't the Western Forces be in trouble this time?"
Le Xian became excited because she had met Dao Ancestor Hongjun. For a person whose Life Providence had changed, unless they were courting death, anyone who went against them would be in trouble. He was already a person who was favored by the heavens! Thinking back to the time when she had met Dao Ancestor Hongjun and became a Saint Immortal, Le Xian felt that all the opponents who competed with her for the Saint Position had not had a good ending. Some of them were even ridiculously unlucky. Among them, there were some Sage-to-be who were actually stronger than her in that era.
"This is bad luck, and it's also part of the Heavenly Dao's reincarnation! There were unlucky people in the Age of Gods, and there were also unlucky people during the first Chaos Tribulation. During the second Chaos Tribulation, there will also be unlucky people. "Gokusen said lightly.
On the Astral Void Mountain.
Gu Zheng, who was talking to Die Ling, suddenly heard someone calling his name.
"Master, what's wrong?"
Die Ling immediately asked when she saw Gu Zheng's strange gaze.
"Someone is here to find me!"
The reason why Gu Zheng could hear someone calling his name was because of the Star Void Mountain. This was because the Star Void Mountain could capture any sound that reached a certain level within the Death Mist. However, Gu Zheng wasn't sure what the person who called his name looked like!
Die Ling also had some understanding of the Star Void Mountain's characteristics. Because of this, she asked Gu Zheng, "Master, who is the person who came?"
"Since they used such a method to find me, they must belong to a faction of a Saint Immortal. If it's a faction of a Saint Immortal, then it should be from the Western Forces!"
Gu Zheng shook his head and smiled. He had already guessed the purpose of the people from the Western Forces.
"Master, do you want to meet them?" Die Ling asked again.
"There's no need to meet them. Just help me meet them. If they ask about the quota for the Dao Preaching Palace, just say that it's full! If they ask about Wen Shi and the others' storage belts, just return them to them. If they insist on meeting me, just say that I'm in seclusion. "
Gu Zheng gave the storage belts of Wen Shi, Pouncing Elephant, and Calamity to Die Ling. Then, with a thought, the Star Void Mountain appeared in the depths of the Death Mist.
The Buddha had sent Relic Venerable to find Gu Zheng for a reason. Relic Venerable was considered the smartest and calmest among the ten great disciples of the Buddha.
Although the Buddha wanted a share of the Star Void Mountain, he also knew that Gu Zheng wasn't someone who was easy to talk to. He sent Relic Venerable because he didn't want the enmity between them to grow.
However, the Buddha was still the Buddha. His cultivation was at the peak of the Quasi-Sage Realm. There was still a huge gap between him and a Saint. In this special period where even Saints' deductions were inaccurate, it wasn't surprising that the Buddha's deductions weren't accurate.
It was a mistake for the Buddha to send Relic Venerable. He thought that the person who came to see Relic Venerable should be Gu Zheng, but he didn't expect it to be Die Ling.
Die Ling's original form was a dragon that had mutated after receiving the blessings of heaven and earth. Relic Venerable hated dragons as if they had met their natural enemy. This didn't weaken just because Die Ling was different from other dragons. Instead, it became even more intense.
Relic Venerable looked at Die Ling who was more beautiful than the fairies of the Moon Palace. His heart was filled with disgust and he even frowned.
Die Ling's expression was originally calm, but when she saw Relic Venerable frown, a wave of unhappiness filled her heart. This was because Relic Venerable's expression made her feel that he had seen something filthy!
Die Ling held back her unhappiness and asked, "Monk, why are you looking for my master?"
"This poor monk is looking for benefactor's master. Naturally, I have something to discuss."
Relic Venerable hated Die Ling to begin with. Moreover, he wanted to talk to Gu Zheng face to face, so he naturally wasn't in the mood to talk to Die Ling.
"Why are you looking for my master? You can just tell me!" said Die Ling.
"Tell benefactor? Benefactor can make the decision? "said Relic Venerable disdainfully.
"Of course I can make the decision. If I can't make the decision, why am I wasting my breath with you? If you have something to say, say it. If not, I'm going back to the mountain! "said Die Ling impatiently.
Relic Venerable frowned. He had originally thought that Die Ling was just a little brat blocking his path and would bring him to Star Void Mountain after a few words. Now, it seemed that wasn't the case.
"This poor monk wants to ask Fellow Daoist Gu if he's willing to resolve his enmity with the Buddhist Sect?" asked Relic Venerable.
"What do you mean by resolving it?" asked Die Ling.
"If he's willing to resolve this enmity. Our Buddhist Sect has two Dao Preaching Palaces on Star Void Mountain. If he doesn't agree to this proposal, it means that he's unwilling to resolve this enmity."
Die Ling sneered at Relic Venerable's serious words. "How important is the two Dao Preaching Palaces? If the Buddhist Sect wants two Dao Preaching Palaces as a bargaining chip to resolve this enmity, we won't accept this condition! Moreover, the slots for the Dao Preaching Palaces are already full! "
"As long as Fellow Daoist Gu is willing to resolve this enmity, even if the slots for the Dao Preaching Palaces are full, there will still be two slots for the Buddhist Sect!" said Relic Venerable.
"Wishful thinking!" Die Ling sneered.
"Benefactor, is the answer you gave Fellow Daoist Gu's words?" asked Relic Venerable coldly.
"No, this is what I said!" said Die Ling.
"Benefactor, can you really make the decision?" asked Relic Venerable again.
"I said I can make the decision, so I can make the decision. Monk, aren't you annoying? Lastly, we won't agree to your conditions. Go back to where you came from! "said Die Ling.
"This poor monk wants to see Fellow Daoist Gu!"
Relic Venerable turned into a gust of wind. He wanted to charge into Star Void Mountain.
"Impudent!"
Die Ling teleported and appeared in front of Relic Venerable. She swung her sleeve at Relic Venerable.
"Evil creature!"
Relic Venerable shouted. Golden light suddenly appeared on his palm and he slashed at Die Ling's sleeve.
Die Ling originally only wanted to block Relic Venerable. She didn't expect Relic Venerable to not only scold her but also attack her. This made her furious.
"Scram!"
Die Ling no longer suppressed her cultivation. Her originally light sleeve instantly became as heavy as a mountain and slammed into Relic Venerable's palm.
Relic Venerable was shocked. He was only in the early stage of the quasi-sage realm. He didn't expect the 'evil creature' he spoke of to be in the middle stage of the quasi-sage realm!
At the critical moment, Relic Venerable's palm trembled. The image of a Buddha appeared on his palm and blocked Die Ling's attack. However, what Relic Venerable didn't expect happened again. A black dagger had appeared in Die Ling's other hand and Die Ling slashed out a black shadow at him from close range!
The black shadow's aura was so strong that Relic Venerable felt like he couldn't dodge it no matter how he tried.
Relic Venerable bit the tip of his tongue and used the Fiend Seventy-two Transformations. He turned into a white feather and flew into the distance with the wind brought by the black shadow.
Butterfly Spirit did not attack again. In the distance, Relic Venerable, who had transformed back into his true body from his feather form, held his arm. Although he had avoided a fatal crisis by transforming into a feather, there was still a large wound on his arm.
"Good, very good. This poor monk will remember Star Void Mountain's hospitality today!"
Relic Venerable didn't dare to stay any longer. He left with the wind after saying those harsh words.
"Hmph."
Die Ling smiled contemptuously and turned to fly into Star Void Mountain.
Gu Zheng already knew what happened outside Star Void Mountain. He didn't blame Die Ling for it. Even if he met Relic Venerable, he would have given the same answer.
"Master, I feel that the Buddhists won't let this go!" Die Ling said.
"Let them be. If they want to cause trouble for me, I won't be polite!"
Gu Zheng paused and then said, "Alright, let's not talk about them. They can do whatever they want. Today, I just want to brew the immortal wine!"
Gu Zheng began to process the ingredients again. This time, the amount of ingredients needed to brew the immortal wine was larger. He planned to use 500 kilograms of immortal wine.
"Thirty-seven ingredients, thirty of which belong to Untainted Land and seven of which belong to outside the circle. Among these ingredients, the lowest grade is high, followed by three immortal-grade ingredients and one heavenly material and earthly treasure. What luxurious ingredients!"
Die Ling looked at the large pile of ingredients in front of Gu Zheng and felt very emotional. She began to help with the simple processing.
"There are flowers, fruits, grains and grass. It's already fragrant before the brewing process. I'm really looking forward to what level of immortal wine master will brew this time!" Die Ling said again.
"The Jade Lake Immortal Wine is the wine used to entertain the immortals at the Feast of Peaches. Although it can't be said to be the best in the Untainted Land, it can definitely be called a very high grade immortal wine. The immortal wine I'm brewing this time will be more outstanding than the Jade Lake Immortal Wine in all aspects! "Gu Zheng smiled.
"Master, the ingredients you're using this time can already be considered luxurious. How luxurious are the ingredients used in the Jade Lake Immortal Wine?" Die Ling asked curiously.
"The ingredients used in the Jade Lake Immortal Wine are naturally more luxurious than the ones we're using. Otherwise, what kind of ability would it be if I used more luxurious ingredients to brew a better immortal wine than the Jade Lake Immortal Wine?"
Gu Zheng paused for a moment before continuing, "Don't think that the immortal wine this time can be compared to the ingredients used in the Jade Lake Immortal Wine just because immortal ingredients and heavenly materials have been added. No matter what, the Heavenly Court is the center of power that controls the prehistoric times. The resources it possesses are definitely not something an individual can compare to! The immortal ingredients and heavenly treasures that are extremely precious to us are just immortal and saint grade immortal peaches in the Peach Garden to the Heavenly Court! "
"That's true."
Die Ling nodded and then smiled like a miser. "Hehe, Master's Chaos Space also has Immortal Grade Peach Trees and Saint Grade Peach Trees. I just don't know when I'll be able to eat the peaches from those two trees!"
Legends were different from reality. In the legends, there were three types of peach trees in the Peach Garden. They ripened once every three thousand years, once every six thousand years, and once every nine thousand years.
The legends were exaggerated, but there were also various reasons in reality! The time it took for the three types of peaches to ripen in the Peach Garden was actually thirty, six hundred, and nine hundred years. In reality, the Peach Feast wasn't held every year for the Queen Mother's birthday. Otherwise, there wouldn't be enough peaches in the Peach Garden for the Heavenly Court, let alone the immortals.
The reward for Gu Zheng's' culinary success' mission was four immortal grade peach trees and two saint grade peach trees. These six trees were still growing in Gu Zheng's Untainted Land. When Gu Zheng had the time, he would hasten the growth of the trees. Die Ling, who lived in the Untainted Land, did this almost every day.
Six hundred and nine hundred years wasn't a long time for a normal Quasi-Saint. But for people like Gu Zheng and Die Ling, who were able to increase their cultivation at lightning speed, six hundred and nine hundred years was too long. It was so long that they felt it was an eternity away! After all, not to mention six hundred and nine hundred years old, the two of them added together were not even sixty years old!
"The Untainted Land is a wonderful place!"
Die Ling's words made Gu Zheng sigh.
The Chaotic Space was indeed a wonderful place. There were many wonderful things about it, some good and some bad. The good part was needless to say, but the bad part was in two aspects.
First, the Untainted Land wasn't affected by the flow of time. In other words, if Gu Zheng was in the statue space or outside the circle, the flow of time in the Untainted Land would never change! Otherwise, Gu Zheng's desire to eat immortal and saint grade immortal and immortal grade immortal peaches wouldn't be so far away.
Second, because Gu Zheng's mastery of the Space Dao had reached the mid stage, he couldn't change the Untainted Land as much as he wanted. However, he could feel that even if his mastery of the Space Dao reached the high level, it would still be very difficult to turn the Untainted Land into a living person without destroying the Untainted Land! Because of this, Gu Zheng did not even ask the Glutton Immortal about the matter of turning a treasure spirit into a human. He was afraid of being discouraged. He wanted to wait until his mastery of the Dao of Space reached a high level.
"Speaking of which master, even though I think the immortal wine is delicious, isn't it a bit too extravagant to use treasures to make it? After all, master still wants to make food for Meow Meow and the angry man! If that's the case, then master really doesn't have many treasures left. "Die Ling pouted.
"It's not that I don't have many, but after subtracting the wine and the two for Meow Meow and the angry man, I only have the Cloud Vermilion Fruit left from the Cloud of Death."
Gu Zheng stroked Die Ling's hair and continued, "With master's help, Meow Meow was able to ascend to the Demon Emperor realm. The heavenly treasure he prepared for her is the 'Blacksky Mist Bone'. This is a heavenly treasure from outside the circle. Combined with some special ingredients, not only can it purify Meow Meow's bloodline, it may also have other benefits. As for the angry man, his cultivation isn't peak Fey King yet. The food I prepared for him will allow him to quickly reach the bottleneck! "
"It's no use even if he reaches the bottleneck! If he doesn't have a hundred percent chance of breaking through after reaching the bottleneck, it's better to cultivate slowly and steadily, saving master a treasure! "Die Ling said.
Gu Zheng nodded. "If it was a normal situation, master would've done as you said. However, I have a faint premonition about the trip to the Rotten Poison Swamp in a few days. That's why I plan to raise his cultivation base to the peak of the Demon King Stage before we head to the Rotten Poison Swamp. "
Die Ling nodded at Gu Zheng's words, but still looked wronged. "Master, I still think it's a pity that you haven't made food for yourself in a while. Raising master's cultivation is the most important thing! Otherwise, Master shouldn't put any Heaven and Earth treasures in the wine this time, okay? In any case, it's just immortal wine. I definitely believe that Master can make immortal wine that's even better than the Jade Lake Immortal Brew! Let's wait until we have more resources before making this kind of extravagant wine, okay? "
"Hahahaha …"
Gu Zheng laughed out loud. He pinched Die Ling's nose and said, "Come, read my mind so that I don't have to explain everything to you!"
