Arriving at the passage that connected the Mud Spirit's four stomach pouches, Gu Zheng used his immortal energy to stimulate the Mud Spirit's body, and a originally hidden platform emerged.
The platform was square, the size of a room, and was divided into two parts. One part hid spatial runes that formed a teleportation immortal array, and the other part was a container that contained some purple liquid.
This teleportation immortal array could not transfer people, only items. Through observing the teleportation immortal array, Gu Zheng obtained the location and distance information of the other teleportation immortal array. Then, Gu Zheng poured all the liquid in the container into an immortal artifact bottle, and put it into the chaos space.
The purple liquid was naturally the medicinal wine that could increase the cultivation of monsters, but it could not be used to increase the cultivation of Meow Meow and the others.
However, since Gu Zheng put the medicinal wine away, it meant that the medicinal wine had its merits, and Gu Zheng was prepared to study it later.
After leaving the passage, Gu Zheng went to retrieve the Mud Spirit's inner core, ended its life, and left its body with Meow Meow and the others.
Finally, they left the monster's body. Even though the environment outside was dense with poisonous fog, Gu Zheng and the others could not help but feel a little better.
Without staying in the poisonous swamp for long, Gu Zheng and the others flew out of the swamp.
The swamp was not an ideal place for the angry man to take the Myriad Monster Pill, so they had to change places. Fortunately, they were only at the periphery of the swamp, and it did not take too much time to leave.
After leaving the swamp, Gu Zheng put the butterfly spirit into the chaos space, and put Meow Meow and the angry man into the chaos pagoda, and used the Meteor Moon Catching Technique to hasten their journey.
The angry man had a chance to become a Monster Emperor after taking the Myriad Monster Pill. Once he became a Monster Emperor, he would have to face the tribulation and the blessings of heaven and earth. Therefore, Gu Zheng wanted to take the angry man back to the Star Ruins Mountain, which was a more ideal place.
After returning to the Star Void Mountain, the angry man took the Myriad Monster Pill and fell into a deep sleep. Gu Zheng, who had nothing to do for the time being, began to study the medicinal wine he obtained from the Mud Spirit.
Although Gu Zheng did not have time to study the medicinal wine in Ni Ling's body, he had the Eye of Dao and the Heart of Dao after all, so he understood the value of the medicinal wine at a glance. However, Gu Zheng still needed to study the value of the medicinal wine in detail before he could find out.
The medicinal wine's ability to quickly increase the cultivation of monsters was very powerful. Its effect was not inferior to the high-grade 'Spirit Beast Food Cultivation' that Gu Zheng cooked. This was its merit. However, the drawbacks of medicinal wine could not be ignored. It would cause the intelligence of monsters to stagnate.
What Gu Zheng wanted to do in researching the medicinal wine was to find out how to use it for the future 'Spirit Beast Food Cultivation', and how to 'remove the impurities and retain the essence'.
Some of the substances that made up the medicinal wine belonged to the Eye of Dao, and some belonged to the Heart of Dao. Gu Zheng carefully observed for a while, and a smile appeared on his face. He had gained something in the process.
Some of the substances in the medicinal wine, Gu Zheng had seen for the first time. These substances could be natural, or they could be produced by the collision of some ingredients. However, no matter where these substances came from, for Gu Zheng, who had the Eye of Dao and the Heart of Dao, what he needed to do was to deduce the ingredients he had seen according to the characteristics of these substances. From there, he would obtain the recipe for 'removing the impurities and retaining the essence'.
In the time it took to drink a cup of tea, Gu Zheng opened his eyes. He had already deduced the recipe for using the medicinal wine! When the time came, he would be able to use the medicinal wine he obtained to cook high-grade Spirit Beast Food Cultivation with extraordinary effects nine times! However, some of the high-grade ingredients and ingredients outside the circle needed to cook Spirit Beast Food Cultivation were all in the eight boxes that he had lost.
'I hope the Flood Dragon King won't use up those ingredients immediately after obtaining them!'
Gu Zheng thought to himself. Then, he took out the Demonic Pill of the Mud Spirit and played with it.
Under normal circumstances, the Demonic Pill was just an energy body. Therefore, Gu Zheng rarely used the Demonic Pill when cooking for himself.
The Demonic Pill of the Mud Spirit was different. Its Demonic Pill was not only an energy body, but also stored some information about its Divine Ability.
However, Gu Zheng didn't know how to unearth the information in the Demonic Pill of the Mud Spirit. After playing with it for a while, he didn't even understand how to read the information.
"Butterfly Spirit, help me take a look at this Demonic Pill. There is some information about the Mud Spirit's Divine Ability in it. See if you can decipher it."
Gu Zheng gave the Demonic Pill of the Mud Spirit to the Butterfly Spirit in the chaotic space.
After playing with it for a while, the Butterfly Spirit said helplessly, "Master, I can't sense the existence of any information in it at all!"
Gu Zheng frowned, but then his eyes lit up. It wasn't that he thought of something, but the Artifact Spirit actually came out of seclusion at this moment.
Due to the previous bet, the Artifact Spirit had been in seclusion during this period of time. No matter what happened outside, she didn't know anything. However, the Artifact Spirit was still thinking about Gu Zheng, so she didn't stay in seclusion for long.
As soon as she came out of seclusion, she saw Gu Zheng looking at her. The Artifact Spirit smiled and said, "What, did you miss me?"
"Yes, yes!"
Gu Zheng laughed heartily, and so did the artifact spirit.
"Quick, tell me what happened in the past few days."
Faced with the Artifact Spirit's question, Gu Zheng didn't hide anything. He told her what happened in the poisonous swamp.
After listening to Gu Zheng, the Artifact Spirit looked at him very seriously, "It's better if you don't make me cultivate. If I want to cultivate, I'll wait until you have nothing to do. After all, my main task is to support you! Although I also want to become a real person, this matter isn't important at all compared to your safety! This time, if I wasn't in seclusion, when you saw that 'mud hole', I think I would've been able to see that it wasn't a 'mud hole', but a monster! "
Gu Zheng didn't doubt the Artifact Spirit's words. The Artifact Spirit was indeed unique in some aspects, such as exploration.
"Okay, then when I'm free in the future, you can go into seclusion to cultivate!"
Gu Zheng wasn't an inflexible person. What happened in the poisonous swamp was actually very dangerous. No matter what, his sixth sense had warned him. Moreover, this was only the periphery of the poisonous swamp. As for the depths and core of the poisonous swamp, no one knew what dangers there were.
Gu Zheng promised the Artifact Spirit that he would go into seclusion when he was free. The Artifact Spirit's serious expression disappeared as she said, "You're really lucky to be able to obtain such an inner core!"
"Such an inner core? What do you mean? "
Gu Zheng was delighted. He couldn't help but feel that it was great to have the Artifact Spirit around. She seemed to be able to solve his doubts about the inner core.
"Under normal circumstances, the inner core of a monster is only a body of energy. A monster core like this that contains the information of a remarkable ability is extremely rare even in legends!"
The Artifact Spirit looked at Gu Zheng proudly, then said, "To obtain the information in the monster core, it's actually not as complicated as you think. You just need to use a bowl of water from the 'Falling Jade Spring' to dissolve the inner core. When the time comes, the information in the inner core will naturally appear. However, whether or not you can grasp the information and comprehend it will depend on your luck. "
"Falling Jade Spring," Gu Zheng murmured.
Gu Zheng had heard of the Falling Jade Spring before. Its spring water was poisonous and could be used to quench poisonous fairy weapons when forging them.
"Although I can't go to the Falling Jade Spring for the time being, at least I know what to do with this inner core," Gu Zheng said with a smile.
"Yes, now we should hurry back to the poisonous swamp as soon as possible to find the missing ingredients!" said the Artifact Spirit.
Gu Zheng chatted with the Artifact Spirit for a while, then began to cook the food. The food he cooked this time was, of course, for Sun Cheng. Sun Cheng, who was in a special state, needed a very short time to consume the food.
After cooking the food for Sun Cheng, another two hours passed and a strange phenomenon began to appear on the Star Ruins Mountain. This was the sign of Raging Han advancing to the Demon Emperor Realm.
The strange phenomenon was the condensation of tribulation clouds. After Gu Zheng opened the shield of the Star Ruins Mountain, a wave of pressure suddenly fell on the Star Ruins Mountain.
Gu Zheng frowned tightly. He had seen tribulation clouds many times, but it was the first time he had encountered a situation like this, where the tribulation clouds had not been completely formed and there was already a strong pressure descending!
Although he frowned, Gu Zheng was not surprised that there would be a strange phenomenon during Raging Han's tribulation. Raging Han, who had 19 inner cores, was not a normal Demon Cultivator. Gu Zheng had seen his 3-in-9 Heavenly Tribulation, which was the powerful Withered Leaf Thunder Tribulation. Gu Zheng had not seen his 6-in-9 Heavenly Tribulation, but he knew that what Raging Han experienced was the Heaven's Punishment Thunder Tribulation. Now that he was about to undergo his 9-in-9 Heavenly Tribulation, it would be strange if the Thunder Tribulation was normal.
"Do you know what kind of Thunder Tribulation Raging Han is going to face this time?" Gu Zheng looked at the Weapon Spirit with a solemn expression.
"This Thunder Tribulation is extremely unusual. I can't tell what it is for the time being. If there is a white light surging in the tribulation clouds when Raging Han appears, then you should be prepared for Raging Han's death!" the Weapon Spirit said seriously.
"Master!"
Almost as soon as the Weapon Spirit finished speaking, Raging Han's excited voice sounded.
Raging Han, who had rushed out of the palace, looked at Gu Zheng and said excitedly, "Master, not only have I broken through, I have also refined the Centipede Pearl of the Centipede King into my 20th inner core!"
Gu Zheng's eyes widened. The Weapon Spirit sighed and shook his head, "19 inner cores is already an existence that is not allowed by the Heavenly Axiom. He has actually become 20. No wonder such tribulation clouds appeared!"
At this time, there was already a white light flickering in the black tribulation clouds. Gu Zheng, who was frowning, asked the Weapon Spirit, "What is going on? Why are you so sure that Raging Han will die? "
"Raging Han has 19 inner cores. Although it is already an existence that is not allowed by the Heavenly Axiom, as long as he survives the 3-9 Heavenly Tribulations and 6-9 Heavenly Tribulations, it means that he has found a chance of survival in the rules of the Heavenly Axiom! When he fights against the Heavenly Tribulation next time, he will have a bit of luck. This is different. It is not to say that Raging Han is an exception, but all existences that are not allowed by the Heavenly Axiom will have such a trace of luck after going through the unusual 3-9 Heavenly Tribulations and 6-9 Heavenly Tribulations! With such a trace of luck, the 9-9 Heavenly Tribulations will still be very powerful, but it will not be the extreme kind. However, the original 19 inner cores have become 20 now. Raging Han's luck has dissipated. The Heavenly Axiom will not tolerate him anymore! "
The Weapon Spirit sighed and said again, "There are thousands of types of Thunder Tribulations. For example, the 'Immortal Slaying Thunder Tribulation' that you have experienced is the most powerful type of Thunder Tribulation. However, there is a special type of Thunder Tribulation that is targeted. This type of Thunder Tribulation is not as powerful as the 'Immortal Slaying Thunder Tribulation', but because it is targeted, it seems that no human or demon cultivator has ever been able to withstand it! This type of Thunder Tribulation is called 'Heavenly Axiom Does Not Tolerate'. It only targets a very small portion of Devil Cultivators and Demon Cultivators! "
"Master?"
Raging Han called Gu Zheng again. He had 20 inner cores, so Gu Zheng should have praised him. At the very least, he should have smiled. However, Gu Zheng's eyebrows were knitted into knots.
Gu Zheng's eyes finally looked at Raging Han. He did not say anything and just looked at him. He did not know what to say to Raging Han.
Raging Han's expression changed and he tried to squeeze out a smile, "Master, with the 20th inner core, I feel that all my inner cores have become different. It is as if they have been sublimated. There seems to be something inside waiting for me to discover!"
Gu Zheng still did not say anything. He did not feel good. Raging Han was about to die, but he was powerless to do anything.
Although Raging Han was stupid, as a Tribulation Taker, he had already realized something from Gu Zheng's pressure and reaction. However, he did not say anything.
Silence. The faint sound of thunder surged in the tribulation clouds.
"Master, please praise me!"
Raging Han's eyes were red, like a child who was about to cry.
"You are very good, very good!"
Gu Zheng turned around and did not look at Raging Han. His heart was beating very uncomfortably.
Raging Han knelt down in front of Gu Zheng's back and respectfully kowtowed three times.
"Master, if I can hold on this time, I want to eat the bonefish you made," Raging Han said.
Gu Zheng's back trembled, "Okay!"
"Master, I'm going!"
Raging Han said "Master" very solemnly. Although Gu Zheng had already told Raging Han to call him "Mister" like Meow Meow, Raging Han still wanted to call him "Master". This was not only because of the master contract, but also because he was very touched.
Raging Han flew into the sky to receive his "Heaven's Will Not Tolerate". However, the bonefish he mentioned just now made Gu Zheng feel very uncomfortable.
Bonefish was only a medium grade ingredient. It was a specialty of Foggy Wind Island, and Foggy Wind Island was the place where Gu Zheng and Raging Han had signed the contract.
Gu Zheng had raised three bonefish in the pond in Eldritch Space. If Raging Han had not mentioned it, Gu Zheng would have forgotten about the existence of these bonefish.
Now that Raging Han mentioned the bonefish, some things surged in Gu Zheng's heart.
Gu Zheng swore to protect Foggy Wind Island and Blood Tide Island, to fight together, to protect Emei Sect with all his might, and to search after ascending. When these things repeated in Gu Zheng's mind over and over again, he was also suppressed by his unhappiness and unwillingness.
Gu Zheng and Raging Han did not just have a master and slave contract. He already treated Raging Han as family.
"Dao Ancestor!"
Gu Zheng turned and shouted at the sky. The thing he did not want to be touched by others had been touched. He did not want that result.
"Master!"
Die Ling read Gu Zheng's thoughts and was affected by Gu Zheng's emotions. Her eyes could not help but turn red.
Gu Zheng was a little irrational. This could be seen from how he called out to the Heaven's Will! However, Die Ling could not be irrational. She had to remind Gu Zheng that his shouting could interfere with other people's tribulations!
"Dao Ancestor!"
Gu Zheng shouted again. He hoped that the Heaven's Will could hear him. He hoped that his extraordinariness could make the Heaven's Will change the lightning tribulation.
"Rumble …"
Gu Zheng's shout was answered by the tribulation lightning in the tribulation clouds. Raging Han's first bolt of tribulation was about to descend.
"The Heaven's Will is heartless. The Heaven's Will cannot be defied!" The artifact spirit sighed.
"Kacha …"
Raging Han's first bolt of tribulation descended.
The white tribulation did not look fancy at all. However, it carried with it a different kind of pressure that made one's heart feel heavy. It was as if they were looking at a white cloth in a mourning hall.
After passing through Raging Han's demonic mist, the white tribulation changed color. However, it was still able to easily shatter Raging Han's demonic power defenses and send him plummeting from the sky.
"Pfff …"
Raging Han spat out a mouthful of blood. Although he quickly stabilized himself, the first bolt of tribulation had already injured him.
"Master."
Raging Han shook his head and smiled bitterly at Gu Zheng, indicating that he should stop shouting.
"Sir, don't! Raging Han doesn't want to see you like this! "
Meow Meow, whose eyes were also red, tugged on Gu Zheng's hand and shook it.
Gu Zheng closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then opened them again.
"It's alright now!"
Gu Zheng smiled bitterly and stroked Meow Meow's hair.
"You're already a quasi-sage, but you're still so emotional. Is this a flaw in your mental state?" Gu Zheng asked the women.
"No!"
"Yes!"
Die Ling did not answer. She only held onto Gu Zheng's other hand.
Meow Meow and the artifact spirit gave two completely different answers.
"Sir, you don't cultivate the Dao of Heartless. Being emotional can't be considered a flaw in your mental state! If you don't care about something you care about, you wouldn't be Sir! "Meow Meow said.
"No matter which one of us it happens to, I hope you won't be impulsive when you encounter a similar situation in the future! If you end up in danger because of saving us, even if I'm saved, I'll only blame myself even more! "The artifact spirit stared at Gu Zheng.
"Me too!"
Meow Meow and Die Ling said in unison.
Gu Zheng wanted to say something, but under a flash of light, the angry man's second tribulation descended.
"Good timing!"
The angry man roared, the anger and unwillingness in his bones erupted. He used a demon technique to attack the second tribulation.
"Bang bang bang …"
The angry man's demon technique collided with the second tribulation, causing a series of explosions in the air! However, the tribulation still landed on the angry man's body, causing blood to flow from the corner of his mouth and his body to sway.
The power of each tribulation was stronger than the last. When the angry man faced the first tribulation, he actually wanted to see the power of the tribulation! Therefore, when the first tribulation struck, the angry man was the one who suffered the most. When the second tribulation struck, the angry man fought back with all his might. The tribulation's power was greatly weakened, so he didn't look as miserable as the first tribulation.
After dealing with two Heavenly Tribulations in a row, the angry man already had an idea of how many Heavenly Tribulations he could withstand.
Looking down at Gu Zheng and the others, the angry man tried his best to smile. Even if he was going to die, he wanted to die with a bang!
