Kong Xuan asked him to stop, so Gu Zheng put him down. Then, he put away the Immortal Realm, and Gu Zheng ended his transformation into the Demon Venerable. The two of them appeared in the space of the Heaven and Earth Alms Bowl again.
"Indeed, I should be glad!"
Kong Xuan sighed and looked up and down at Gu Zheng, as if it was the first time he had seen him.
"I didn't expect that a person who has only been cultivating for a few years could have such magical powers and means. If I hadn't experienced it myself, I wouldn't have believed it!" Kong Xuan smiled bitterly.
Looking at Gu Zheng, who was smiling but not saying anything, Kong Xuan said again, "I admit defeat. Since we had an agreement before, now that I have lost, I should do things according to the agreement. Fellow Daoist, are you ready?"
"I'm ready," Gu Zheng said.
Gu Zheng and Kong Xuan sat cross-legged facing each other. After building a bridge with their Divine Thoughts, Kong Xuan replayed the scene of him comprehending the Five-colored Divine Light in Gu Zheng's mind.
The scene in front of Gu Zheng was not unfamiliar to Gu Zheng, because it was what Kong Xuan's Immortal Realm looked like. However, this scene was different from Kong Xuan's Immortal Realm in some details. The density of the Immortal Core Power here was astonishing. At least, Gu Zheng had never seen a place with such dense Immortal Core Power in the Untainted Land. Moreover, the density of the Immortal Core Power here was different from that of the man-made Immortal Core Power in the Heaven Realm. The man-made Immortal Core Power was in the form of mist, while this kind of naturally formed Immortal Core Power was completely integrated in the air. It did not affect one's vision at all, and it was easier to absorb.
Gu Zheng understood that as the first peacock in the world, Kong Xuan's enlightenment should have happened not long after the world was formed. Only during this new period in the Untainted Land would there be such dense Immortal Core Power. This was a benefit that belonged to the beginning of the world. This kind of Immortal Core Power, which was transformed from the chaotic Qi after the world was formed, had many magical aspects. It could give birth to living creatures and spiritual objects, and it could also make it easier for living creatures to attain the Dao, and it was easier for some powerful figures to appear.
Gu Zheng wanted to follow an emerald green peacock, and it was Kong Xuan's main body.
Although the peacock was born at a good time, it did not know how to cultivate. At least, that was the case in Gu Zheng's eyes. It was in such a beautiful place, yet it was doing things like eating underground worms. This was really unbefitting of its status. Nevertheless, it was the first peacock in the world, after all. It was incomparable to other spirit beasts in many aspects, such as its perception.
The peacock that was eating raised its head and saw a person flying across the sky. With the help of the peacock's vision, Gu Zheng could only see the rough shape of a human.
As if sensing Peacock's gaze, the figure in the air began to fly towards Peacock.
As the person approached, Gu Zheng could clearly see that it was a middle-aged man. He had a sage-like demeanor and wore a white robe. His hair was neatly combed, and there was a kind smile on his face.
After seeing the middle-aged man's appearance, Gu Zheng's heart almost jumped out of his throat. He had seen the middle-aged man's eyes before when he was comprehending the high-level Dao of Life. This person was Dao Ancestor Hongjun!
As if sensing Gu Zheng's existence, Dao Ancestor Hongjun's gaze changed in an instant, but it did not stay on Gu Zheng for long. It only glanced at him before moving away.
"Chirp chirp …"
The peacock let out a hostile cry at the Dao Ancestor in the void, and its tail feathers spread out in a fan shape.
"If you can see me, it means that there is some fate between you and me. Although you are a Primordial Origin Spirit, you have not gained intelligence and cannot cultivate the Dao. Today, I will open your spirit, and I hope you can attain the Great Dao in the future. "
The Dao Ancestor flicked his finger, and a light shot into the peacock's brain. After the peacock blinked, its gaze became more intelligent.
"Are you willing to follow me to the Purple Cloud Palace to listen to the Dao?" the Dao Ancestor asked the peacock.
"I'm not going!"
The peacock had already gained intelligence and could communicate with others, but its answer was resolute. Gu Zheng could sense that the peacock was instinctively wary of the unknown man in front of it.
The Dao Ancestor only smiled at the peacock's reaction. He looked at the peacock's tail feathers and said, "You have beautiful feathers, but you do not have the corresponding divine powers. Today, I will bestow upon you good fortune. You and I have come to an end."
The Dao Ancestor flicked his finger again, and a small ball that flashed with five-colored light hit the peacock's tail feathers. The peacock's tail, which was originally an ordinary spread, immediately turned colorful!
At the same time, Gu Zheng's vision blurred. He saw the mysterious information that appeared in the peacock's brain.
Previously, in the depths of the Poison Swamp, Gu Zheng had searched the soul of the Flood Dragon King's subordinate, Ning Cui. As a result, he triggered an opportunity and saw the mysterious information that represented Ning Cui's Dao of Space. From there, he comprehended the divine power of Space Concealment. The scene then was similar to the scene now. It was a mess of mysterious information that was waiting for Gu Zheng to piece it together. However, when he pieced it together, the mysterious information in the peacock's brain was much clearer than Ning Cui's! Ning Cui's mysterious information appeared in the form of raindrops. Gu Zheng had to pick out the useful information from the countless information. This was not an easy task. On the peacock's side, although there was a lot of mysterious information, there was no useless information mixed in. Gu Zheng only had to sort out the useful information.
With the Dao of the Five Elements as a foundation, and the information was all useful, the entire process was extremely simple for Gu Zheng. When he pieced the information together, there was a boom in his brain. The information that originally belonged to the peacock's brain also appeared in his brain.
Gu Zheng had comprehended. He had comprehended Kong Xuan's unique divine power – the Rainbow Divine Light!
Gu Zheng and Kong Xuan had a telepathic connection. When Gu Zheng comprehended from his mysterious state, Kong Xuan naturally felt it immediately.
"This …"
Looking at Gu Zheng, who had opened his eyes, Kong Xuan did not know what to say.
Indeed, Kong Xuan really did not know what to say. He had once imparted the Five-colored Divine Light to his disciple, and his disciple was actually his descendant. His body was also a peacock, and he also had a complete foundation of the Way of the Five Elements. However, Kong Xuan's disciple did not comprehend the Rainbow Divine Light. Instead, it was Gu Zheng, a human, who had comprehended it. What else could he say?
"Fellow Daoist Gu, congratulations!" Kong Xuan said.
"Many thanks!" Gu Zheng smiled.
"This time, I have experienced many things. I have a vague direction in my heart. I think I should go back and cultivate for a period of time." Kong Xuan said.
"Fellow Daoist, let's go!"
Although Gu Zheng did not say much, he changed the way he addressed Kong Xuan. After experiencing these things, he believed that Kong Xuan would not be his enemy in the future.
After putting away the Heaven-Earth Alms Bowl, Kong Xuan went to the corpse of the Mud Spirit. He wanted to find the Immortal Weapon that had been swallowed by the Mud Spirit.
The Immortal Weapon that had been swallowed by the Mud Spirit would be digested in a very short time. Therefore, Kong Xuan naturally could not find the lost Immortal Weapon in the Mud Spirit's corpse. He only gained two Inner Elixirs from the Mud Spirit's body.
Gu Zheng also gained two Inner Elixirs from the Mud Spirit's body. One Inner Elixir contained the information of the Mud Spirit's Tao, and the other was just a pure Inner Elixir.
Gu Zheng kept the Inner Elixir that contained the information of the Mud Spirit's Tao. When he had time in the future, he would soak it in the Jade Meteoric Spring to see if he could comprehend the Tao. As for the other ordinary Inner Elixir, Gu Zheng let the angry man eat it as a tonic.
Gu Zheng had also seen the two Inner Elixirs that Kong Xuan had obtained. Unfortunately, Kong Xuan did not have his opportunity. The two Inner Elixirs were just ordinary Inner Elixirs.
Although the angry man was still thinking about the taste of the Mud Spirit's Inner Elixir, Gu Zheng had already comprehended the Five-colored Divine Light because of Kong Xuan, so he was embarrassed to exchange it for the Inner Elixir that he had obtained.
After Kong Xuan left, Gu Zheng also came to the Mud Spirit's corpse and began to set up some restrictions and immortal formations to prepare for what he was going to do next.
This time, the core of Gu Zheng's trip to the poisonous swamp was to chase the clues of the Immortal Teleportation Formation. However, the end of the Immortal Teleportation Formation turned out to be in the Mud Spirit's stomach. Then the clues could be said to be broken here.
Although the clues of the Immortal Teleportation Formation were broken, the Mud Spirit should know a lot of useful information. He might be able to get new clues from it. Therefore, the purpose of Gu Zheng's current preparations was to revive the Mud Spirit.
In order to revive the Mud Spirit, Gu Zheng had to use his high-level Life Dao. Gu Zheng could not use this kind of Power of Dao easily. Otherwise, it would definitely attract Heaven's punishment. However, this could not be used easily. According to Gu Zheng's current understanding, the Heavenly Dao did not allow him to directly create immortal cultivators through the high-level Life Dao. However, the purpose of reviving the Mud Spirit was only to search its soul. After that, Gu Zheng would kill it. In his opinion, this should be within the scope of the Heavenly Dao's permission.
After making all the necessary preparations, Gu Zheng activated the Power of Dao and began to revive the Mud Spirit.
According to Gu Zheng's estimation, it would take at least a day to revive the Mud Spirit.
At the same time, somewhere in the core of the poisonous swamp, Di You and his clone opened their eyes at the same time.
The maintenance of the Star Destruction Mother-Child Formation had reached another stage. Di You and his clone were able to relax and did not have to devote so much attention to it. However, this relaxation time was very short. Di You had to seize the time to understand what had happened during this period of time. The last time Di You relaxed like this was shortly after the death of the Flood Dragon King.
After Di You's Divine Thought left the space where he was, he immediately received a report from his subordinate. His expression turned ugly.
"What's going on?" His clone asked.
"The Mud Spirit is dead. It happened not long ago …"
Di You told his clone the news he had received.
However, Di You's subordinate only knew that the Mud Spirit was dead. As for how it died and what happened during this period of time, it was not clear. Di You naturally did not know either.
"What a pity. The Mud Spirit is dead!"
"It's expected. The first Mud Spirit will die. The second Mud Spirit will naturally die as well."
"What do we do now?"
Di You's three clones asked one question each.
"There are many of our subordinates in the Mud Spirit's body. Under such circumstances, the enemy is still able to kill it. This power is not to be underestimated!"
Di You paused and then said, "Fortunately, we have deployed before this. Now, we only need to upgrade the deployment."
"Do you think they will come over? After all, the situation now is different from the deeper layer and the outer layer. Will they be suspicious because of this? "
Di You's clone was referring to the monsters that were sent into the Mud Spirit's body. They did not tamper with the monsters' memories. Hence, as long as the enemy searched the monsters' souls, they would know where they were.
"This is an open conspiracy. It doesn't matter if they are suspicious or not. They will be courting death if they come over. If they don't come over, they will give us more time," Di You sneered.
Gu Zheng did find the monsters that Kong Xuan had killed in the Mud Spirit's body. However, as the Centipede King and the Flood Dragon King had the ability to shackle the monsters' memories, Gu Zheng did not have high hopes for the ordinary monsters.
A day passed quickly and Gu Zheng finally resurrected the Mud Spirit.
The resurrected Mud Spirit did not have a chance to struggle or resist. The immortal formations and restrictions that Gu Zheng had set up before were not for nothing. Moreover, there was no inner core in its body. Even if it was resurrected, it would not have much strength.
The Mud Spirit's resistance could not stop Gu Zheng. Gu Zheng quickly completed the soul search.
"Sir, how is it?"
Seeing Gu Zheng leave the Mud Spirit's body, Meow Meow, who had been on guard outside, asked.
Gu Zheng told Meow Meow and the others the useful parts of the Mud Spirit's memory. There were a total of three important things.
The first thing was that the Mud Spirit knew where Di You's lair was.
The second thing was that Di You had sent some monsters into the Mud Spirit's body to wait for the enemy who came to look for clues.
The third thing was that the Mud Spirit was created by Di You. There were a total of four of them.
"Sir, could the Mud Spirit's memory be fake? When we met the first Mud Spirit, you also searched its soul. However, you did not get any information from it about other Mud Spirits! "
As Gu Zheng did not explain in detail, Meow Meow was very puzzled.
"This Mud Spirit was the first Mud Spirit created by Di You. After its body was formed, Di You took something from its body and told it to create the other three Mud Spirits. As for its memory, there is no problem. I did not find any traces of tampering in its memory, "Gu Zheng said.
"There are actually two other Mud Spirits. These things are very annoying!" Butterfly Spirit frowned slightly.
As long as they did not fall into the Mud Spirit's body, Butterfly Spirit, Meow Meow and the angry man were not afraid of the Mud Spirit. However, the three of them did not have the strength to kill the Mud Spirit alone in an environment like the poisonous swamp.
"It's okay if they appear one by one. If the other two are together, it is indeed a very troublesome matter, especially their forbidden space magic," Gu Zheng said.
"Since Di You has already sent some monsters to wait for us in the Mud Spirit's body, I'm afraid the other two Mud Spirits must be together. Moreover, it is very likely that they are on the path to Di You's lair, "Butterfly Spirit said.
"This is very likely. However, knowing that it is more dangerous, the Scarred Canyon is a place that we must go. This time, we came to the poisonous swamp to look for the faintly discernible opportunity. In the end, we happened to encounter these unusual things in the poisonous swamp. This makes me feel that the so-called opportunity must be with Di You! "
The Scarred Canyon that Gu Zheng mentioned was a place that he had found out after searching the Mud Spirit's soul. It was also where Di You's lair was.
The Scarred Canyon was at the center of the poisonous swamp. It was opened two years ago because of Di You's needs. However, the Mud Spirit did not know much about the Scarred Canyon. It had only been there once before Di You set up a Teleportation Immortal Formation in its body. From then on, it could not move around a large area.
"The environment of the Scarred Canyon is special. It feels like a trap. Putting everything else aside, if the formation that supports the canyon suddenly fails during a battle, it could be a disaster for us!" Meow Meow said worriedly.
"From now on, you don't have to follow me. As the environment of the Scarred Canyon is more dangerous, I want to explore the situation alone first. In my opinion, Di You might not know how many of us there are. I don't want you to follow me because I don't want to expose too much of my strength. "
After Gu Zheng made his decision, Meow Meow and the rest did not say anything. Those who should return to the chaotic space returned to the chaotic space, and those who should enter the chaotic pagoda entered the chaotic pagoda.
From where Gu Zheng was now, it would take about ten days to fly to the Scarred Canyon.
Ten days passed quickly. During this period of time, nothing special happened. During the journey, Gu Zheng still did not encounter a single demon.
On the surface, it looked like an ordinary swamp scene. However, Gu Zheng knew that this was the effect of the Illusory Formation. If there was no way to pass through the Illusory Formation, then the real Scarred Canyon would not be discovered at all. If he had not known about this from the Mud Spirit in advance, with Gu Zheng's skill in formations, he would not have discovered anything unusual here.
Using the method obtained from the Mud Spirit, Gu Zheng successfully passed through the Illusory Formation. After his vision turned dark and bright, the scene that appeared in his eyes had changed greatly.
Gu Zheng saw the so-called Scarred Canyon. The feeling that it brought to Gu Zheng was enough to be called shock! Even though Gu Zheng was flying in the air, even though his eyesight was very good, he still could not see how long the Scarred Canyon was at a glance! What he could see was the width of the Scarred Canyon. This width was already more than ten thousand feet.
The existence of the unknown formation made the two walls of the canyon as neat as a knife, which also set off its magnificence. After all, this was a canyon that existed in the poisonous swamp. If the mud behind the two walls rushed into the canyon, the scene would be terrifying.
"Can this really be called a canyon?"
Gu Zheng sighed at the size of the Scarred Canyon.
"Be careful." The Artifact Spirit warned.
"Got it."
Gu Zheng replied and immediately flew towards the Scarred Canyon.
Although he was flying towards the Scarred Canyon, there was no shadow of Gu Zheng in the air. This was because he was in the state of 'Space Hiding'.
'Space Hiding' was a special space divine ability that Gu Zheng comprehended by chance when he searched Ning Cui's soul. This divine ability was much better than ordinary concealment methods. Not only was it harder to be discovered, but more importantly, after using this divine ability, he could still maintain his flying state. This was something that ordinary concealment methods could not do.
'Spatial Concealment' consumed an extremely small amount of Dao energy. These past few days, Gu Zheng had been travelling in this state. He believed that even if he had already entered the Scarred Gorge, the enemy would not have discovered him.
