There were quite a few things in the Wyrm King's spatial immortal treasure, but most of them were metals and crystals from outside the circle. The rest were immortal treasures, medicinal wine, and other miscellaneous items.
According to their previous agreement, Gu Zheng divided the items in a 3: 7 ratio.
Seeing Gu Zheng's items, Xiao Qi's eyebrows twitched.
Gu Zheng knew what was wrong with Xiao Qi. Among the items he had given to them, there was a very good resource that hurt Xiao Qi's heart. It was called "Earth Blood".
Earth Blood was actually an extremely rare type of underground water. It couldn't be used for cooking, but it could be used to refine treasures, or to cultivate special techniques.
The reason the Earth Blood hurt Xiao Qi was because her clone had been destroyed by Gu Zheng. Gu Zheng had obtained an extremely rare material for refining a clone, the Earth Embryo.
Because Xiao Qi had refined the Earth Embryo into a clone, even if Gu Zheng had obtained it, it would be a damaged and useless Earth Embryo. But now, Gu Zheng had obtained Earth Blood. It was a miraculous elixir for repairing Earth Embryos! With a perfect Earth Embryo, Gu Zheng would definitely have a clone in the future. Xiao Qi's heart ached at the thought.
"Senior Sister, what do we do now? That crystal was obtained by him! Why don't we buy it? "Chen Xi transmitted her voice to Ice Fairy.
"Do you think he won't be suspicious if we buy something of unknown use? Besides, he'll definitely go to the Flood Dragon King's Palace. He'll know what the crystals are used for. Rather than that, he might as well do him a favor and learn more! "Ice Fairy replied telepathically.
"Junior Brother Gu, the rhombus-shaped crystal you put away has an unusual use!" Ice Fairy said.
"Oh? How is it unusual? "Gu Zheng asked.
"If I tell Junior Brother Gu, would you be willing to share the information you obtained?"
Ice Fairy, who was as hard as ice, revealed a rare smile. It was the kind of smile that was slightly flattering.
"Sure, tell me!" Gu Zheng said.
"When we were in the Flood Dragon King's palace, we found a teleportation immortal formation. The Flood Dragon King risked his life to obtain the crystal from the teleportation immortal formation. Without it, the Teleportation Immortal Array is completely useless. With it, we can know where the other end of the Teleportation Immortal Array is! "Ice Fairy said.
"Let's go. Wyrm King Palace," said Gu Zheng.
The Flood Dragon King Palace was a sunken Sky Traversing Ship. Gu Zheng, led by the Ice Fairy and the others, saw the Teleportation Immortal Design.
Gu Zheng inserted the crystals into the grooves on the immortal array, and the originally dim crystals on the immortal array all lit up.
"Junior Brother Gu, none of us have comprehended the Dao of Space, so we'll need you to tell us the location of the teleportation formation," Ice Fairy said.
"None of you have grasped the Dao of Space?" Gu Zheng frowned.
"No."
Ice Fairy smiled bitterly. "The Dao of Space is a supreme Great Dao. Those who can grasp the Dao of Space are all people with great fortune. We don't have the same opportunity as you!"
"It's easy to see spatial cracks in the depths of the poisonous swamp. You don't have the Dao of Space, so it's better to be careful when exploring here," Gu Zheng said.
"Junior Brother, don't worry. Although we haven't grasped the Dao of Space, we're not afraid of black holes," Ice Fairy said.
Gu Zheng nodded and didn't say anything else. Through the array patterns of the teleportation immortal array, he deduced the approximate location of the other end of the teleportation immortal array. Then, he turned the information into a jade slip and gave it to the Ice Fairy.
"Junior Brother, what do you want to do next?" Ice Fairy asked.
"I want to explore the Dragon Heavenly Ship. What about you?" Gu Zheng asked.
"We're preparing to go to the core of the poisonous swamp first. Let's part ways here!"
Ice Fairy had already seen the jade slip and knew that the other end of the teleportation immortal array was somewhere in the core of the poisonous swamp. However, this teleportation immortal array was the same as the one in Ni Ling's body. It could only transport items and couldn't carry people.
"Take care!" Gu Zheng said.
"Senior Sister, are we leaving just like that? We haven't finished exploring the Jiao King Palace yet! "Chen Xi transmitted her voice.
"That's right. There should be some useful resources in here!" Xiao Qi also transmitted her voice.
"Although we haven't finished exploring, we've done so. We've taken everything we can, so we've done enough. As for things that are too good, I don't think there's anything here. If there is, it must be with the Jiao King. "
The Ice Fairy's voice paused for a moment before she solemnly said, "Most importantly, I had a premonition that if we can enter the core of the Poison Swamp before Gu Zheng and the others, there will be a great harvest waiting for us!"
After Ice Fairy and the others left, Gu Zheng began to explore the Jiao King Palace.
There really wasn't anything worth mentioning in the palace. After a round of exploration, Gu Zheng came to a corner of the palace. He cast a spell on the wall and a hidden door slowly opened.
There were no treasures hidden in the space behind the door. What was hidden was the huge immortal array that Gu Zheng had seen when he was searching Ning Cui's soul.
"Artifact Spirit, can you see the function of this immortal array?" Gu Zheng asked.
"Don't worry. Let me study it carefully," the artifact spirit said solemnly.
After a while, the artifact spirit said, "This immortal array is somewhat similar to the one in the immortal barracks. Although I don't know much about it, I think its function should be the opposite of the one in the immortal barracks!"
"As expected!" Gu Zheng murmured.
Although Gu Zheng had only seen this huge immortal array from Ning Cui's memories, this immortal array needed the Jiao King to protect it. In the past few decades, there had been many strange occurrences in the poisonous swamp. The chaos tribulation could really start at any time. Gu Zheng had a feeling that this immortal array was involved in some kind of conspiracy.
The immortal array in the immortal barracks was used to provide energy for the heaven realm to operate normally. The heaven realm's purpose was to delay the arrival of the chaos tribulation. Therefore, this immortal array's function was the opposite of the one in the immortal barracks. Naturally, it was to speed up the arrival of the chaos tribulation.
"The immortal array in the immortal barracks has a mother. Does this immortal array have a mother and a son?" Gu Zheng asked the artifact spirit.
After searching Ning Cui's soul, Gu Zheng actually understood a little about the core of the poisonous swamp. He knew that there was also a ruler in the core of the poisonous swamp. The ruler's name was Di You. He had a certain connection with the Jiao King, and both the Jiao King and the Centipede King were his subordinates. Therefore, in Gu Zheng's opinion, there should be at least two such immortal arrays. It didn't make sense that there was one in the depths of the poisonous swamp, which wasn't too dangerous, but not in the core of the poisonous swamp. However, because it wasn't a teleportation immortal array, Gu Zheng couldn't use the child array to deduce the location of the mother array. Therefore, he could only ask the artifact spirit for his opinion.
"It should be a mother and a child array. The mother array should also be in the core of the poisonous swamp," the artifact spirit said.
After chatting with the artifact spirit for a while, Gu Zheng decided to immediately head to the core of the poisonous swamp after destroying the immortal array.
The immortal array was very fragile. It was blown to pieces by Gu Zheng's spell.
"Rumble …"
After the immortal array was destroyed by Gu Zheng, thunder rumbled in the sky above the poisonous swamp. The concentration of the poisonous fog in the poisonous swamp decreased a little because of this.
Thirty-three Heavens, Pearl Palace.
Gokusen, who was cooking, paused his movements and a smile appeared on his face.
Although he was a Sage Immortal, he had entered the Dao through food. As long as there was enough time, Gokusen also enjoyed the wonderful feeling of cooking delicacies very much.
"Master, what's going on?"
Sora Aoi, who was waiting in the kitchen, was curious. He had never seen Gokusen smile so suddenly.
"Sora Aoi, let me tell you a story!" Gokusen said with a smile.
"Master, please tell me!" Sora Aoi hurriedly said.
"Once upon a time, there was a group of bandits who entered the deep mountains and forests of a place called the Desolate County. This matter caused the county governor of the Desolate County to be unable to eat or sleep in peace. He knew that the bandits were planning something in the deep mountains and forests. However, he couldn't enter the mountains to kill the bandits because there was a Mountain God in the mountains. It was against the rules for the county governor to enter the mountains. Furthermore, the county governor couldn't tell anyone about the existence of the bandits. Otherwise, the Mountain God would be enraged! "
"Helpless, the county governor could only use the excuse of collecting mountain treasures to send batches of people with considerable strength into the mountains. He attempted to use them to find the bandits and destroy their lair. However, the people that the county governor sent into the deep mountains and forests either ended up with nothing or never returned. Thus, the county governor's anxiety remained. "
"Until one day, an extremely extraordinary young man appeared. The county governor felt that he was the person who could find the bandits. Hence, the young man also entered the deep mountains and forests. The young man didn't disappoint the county governor's high hopes. He accidentally entered a bandit lair and successfully destroyed it! Although there was still a bandit lair, the young man had already obtained some clues! When the county governor learned of this matter, he was extremely happy. This was because the destruction of a bandit lair meant that the Desolate County could enjoy thirty years of absolute peace. This was very precious! "
By the time Gokusen finished his story, the delicacies were already out of the pot. He looked at the dazed * * * and said, "Don't just stand there, serve the dishes!"
Somewhere in the core of the poisonous swamp, due to the destruction of the child array by Gu Zheng, the mother array was also affected. As a result, the four people who were originally maintaining the mother array became even busier.
The four of them looked exactly the same. As they floated in the air, they were only three feet tall. They had six octopus-like tentacles on their backs and many sarcomas on their heads. They looked very strange.
"Damn it, the child array has been destroyed. The Chaos Tribulation will be delayed because of this."
"It's only delayed for thirty years. That's not a lot of time!"
"That's right. Thirty years is like the blink of an eye for immortal cultivators. How much progress can they make?"
"Maintaining the Celestial Stars Array is the most leisurely year. It is also the busiest year for our Star Destruction Child Array. The appearance of a variable at this time is both expected and unexpected! "
The four people who looked exactly the same said different things in the same voice. They were Di You and his three clones.
"If they have the ability to destroy the child array guarded by the Flood Dragon King, they will probably be able to find this place. We have to be prepared."
"What are you afraid of? Although we can't go out now, it won't be easy for them to find this place! Their only clue is the Teleportation Immortal Array in the Flood Dragon King's palace. However, the Teleportation Immortal Array's guidance is only a trap. "
"That's right. As long as we can hold on for another eight months, we can ignore anyone who can enter the poisonous swamp. Eight months sounds like a long time, but I think we can still hold on! "
"No, we have to be prepared! We failed the previous Chaos Tribulation. This is the only chance for us to leave this cage and start anew! Therefore, in this game of Heavenly Dao, we have to win. If we can't win, what awaits us is complete destruction! "
"We have to be prepared, but there's no need to be too worried. Even if we fail this time, there's still a chance for us to start anew. After all, we've already prepared a backup plan."
Like four chatterboxes, Di You and his three clones talked non-stop.
After half a month, Gu Zheng, Meow Meow, and the angry man finally rushed from the Flood Dragon King's palace to the border between the core and the depths of the poisonous swamp.
The poisonous fog in the core was many times thicker than in the depths. If it was Daluo Jinxian's cultivation, the poisonous fog in the core would be a considerable threat to him. Even their vision would be greatly affected because of it. However, Gu Zheng and the others were not ordinary Sage-to-be. The poisonous fog's effect on them was negligible.
The area of the poisonous swamp's core was relatively small. According to Gu Zheng's estimation, it would take almost a month to reach the location of the Teleportation Immortal Array from the border.
In the following period of time, Gu Zheng and the others were fully focused on their journey. They rarely stopped for anything other than rest. For nearly a month, Gu Zheng and the others did not encounter any demonic beasts, nor did they encounter any danger. Their days were very peaceful.
Finally, Gu Zheng and the others arrived at the approximate location of the Teleportation Immortal Array.
The scene before them was still a swamp. At first glance, they did not see anything that looked like a Teleportation Immortal Array.
"Sir, do you think the Teleportation Immortal Array is under the swamp? If it's under the swamp, we won't be able to use our Divine Perception to explore it, "Meow Meow said.
"Let's split our Divine Perception to search above the swamp first! Perhaps the Teleportation Immortal Array is located at the same place as the Flood Dragon King's palace. It's just an entrance above the swamp, "Gu Zheng said.
"Master, there seems to be a problem! Logically speaking, the Teleportation Immortal Array should be in the demon cave. But if we're already near the demon cave, why can't we see a single demon? "Die Ling said.
"You've been influenced by the previous Teleportation Immortal Array. The Teleportation Immortal Array must exist in the demon cave."
As Gu Zheng's voice fell, he frowned slightly. His Spiritual Force had found a hole in the swamp a hundred miles away.
"Let's go!"
Gu Zheng called everyone to fly toward the cave.
"Master, why don't I go in and take a look?"
The angry man asked Gu Zheng. The entrance in the swamp looked very similar to the one in the Flood Dragon King's palace. Perhaps there really was a demon cave below.
"There's no need to go in. Just start fighting. This is not an ordinary entrance. It's the mouth of another Mud Spirit!" Artifact Spirit suddenly transmitted to everyone.
"Are you sure?" Gu Zheng asked.
"Of course I'm sure!" Artifact Spirit said seriously.
"I've searched the Mud Spirit's memories. The birth process of something like it is extremely coincidental. There's no reason for a second Mud Spirit to appear!" Gu Zheng said.
"You've searched Ning Cui's memories. Although you didn't get much information about Di You, you can feel that even the Flood Dragon King respects Di You like a god! It's normal for an existence that even the Flood Dragon King respects like a god to have some unexpected means. The memories of the Soul Searching Mud Spirit are only from the beginning of the Mud Spirit's memories. During the period when it has no memories, or the opportunities it has experienced, if they are all set by humans and it can't see them, it will mislead you, "said the Artifact Spirit.
Gu Zheng smiled at Die Ling. "It's better to let you wake up. Otherwise, we'll be in the Mud Spirit's stomach again."
"Of course!"
Gu Zheng's praise made Die Ling smile proudly.
"Come, let's get rid of this fellow that wants to swallow us!"
Gu Zheng transmitted to everyone and prepared to attack the Mud Spirit at the same time.
However, the Mud Spirit seemed to have realized that its disguise had been seen through. At the same time, it let out a strange cry and its upper body jumped out of the mud. Like a collapsed Mount Buzhou, it smashed towards Gu Zheng and the others with an incomparably heavy aura. At the same time, the Mud Spirit activated the power of the Sky Restriction. Gu Zheng and the others couldn't help but sink.
If it was just one person, the pressure of the huge force and the Sky Restriction would be enough to make them suffer. However, the Mud Spirit was too ambitious. It was dealing with four quasi-sages at the same time!
Gu Zheng didn't hold back. While falling, he directly used the Five Elements Immortal Lotus. Die Ling and the others also used their strongest attacks.
"Bang bang bang bang …"
A loud sound was produced in the air. The Mud Spirit's huge body was hit to the side and heavily smashed into the mud on the side. The mud that splashed up flew straight into the sky.
"This monster is still too strong!"
Meow Meow couldn't help but sigh when the Mud Spirit didn't come out after falling into the mud.
If it hadn't been swallowed by the Mud Spirit, its strength was roughly at the mid-stage Demon Emperor. After all, it had enough defense but not enough attack. However, it was precisely because of its enormous size and extremely powerful defense that Gu Zheng's Five Element Immortal Lotus, which had always been successful, did not have much of an effect on its body. For example, if it had been an ordinary late-stage Demon Emperor, it would have been blown to pieces. However, when it landed on the Mud Spirit, it only caused it to lose a piece of flesh the size of a square.
"It seems that the Immortal Teleportation Array is in the Mud Spirit's stomach." Die Ling said.
"Unfortunately, the Mud Spirit's body is too big and it's in the mud. We can only watch it slip away."
The angry man licked his lips. The taste of the Mud Spirit's inner core was something he was obsessed with.
"Since the Immortal Teleportation Array is in the Mud Spirit's body, then we have no clues to find Di You in the core of the poisonous swamp. Mister, what should we do now? "Meow Meow asked.
"The Mud Spirit can't escape. If I want to kill it, I can also chase it into the swamp."
Gu Zheng's voice paused for a moment before he smiled and said, "However, it seems that I don't need to chase after it. There should be someone inside its stomach. That person also seized the opportunity to give the Mud Spirit a fierce blow when we launched our attack. Judging from the Mud Spirit's miserable cry, I'm afraid that it won't be able to trap the person in its stomach."
