Gu Zheng stayed in Zhen Xiu Palace for seven days before leaving the 33 skies and returning to Star Ruin Mountain.
Gu Zheng had a lot of things to deal with when he returned to the Star Ruins Mountain. The first thing he had to do was to cook food cultivators. It had been a while since he had consumed food cultivators, so it was time for him to improve his cultivation base through food cultivators.
"I was too lucky when it came to ingredients in the past!"
Looking at the ingredients in the chaos space, Gu Zheng couldn't help but smile bitterly. He didn't really care about high level ingredients anymore. Only immortal grade ingredients and heaven and earth treasures could move him. Unfortunately, immortal grade ingredients were rare to begin with. He didn't get many in the poison swamp. Now, he only had 31 immortal grade ingredients left. As for heaven and earth treasures, he had brewed immortal wine before going to the poison swamp. He had also cooked ingredients for the angry man and Meow Meow. Because of that, he only had one left.
This time, Gu Zheng didn't plan to use the remaining Heaven and Earth treasure to cook the Black Hole Food Cultivator. He wanted to use a few Immortal Grade ingredients and some high grade ingredients to cook the Black Hole Food Cultivator.
To the current Gu Zheng, the cooking of a Black Hole Food Cultivator was no longer difficult. Even if there was a Food Cultivator undergoing tribulation, he could easily deal with it. This was inseparable from the fact that he had grasped the intermediate Five Elements Dao.
After the fragrant black hole food cultivator came out of the pot, Gu Zheng brought the food cultivator and the butterfly spirit into the black hole.
With Gu Zheng's current cultivation, he didn't have to worry too much even if he encountered a spatial storm. However, this was under normal circumstances. If he wanted to use the food cultivator to absorb the energy in the spatial storm, he would still need the butterfly spirit to protect him.
After entering the black hole, Gu Zheng couldn't help but think of the angry man.
Gu Zheng wasn't too worried about the angry man's safety. With the angry man's strength, as long as he wasn't extremely unlucky and didn't encounter a super powerful spatial storm, he wouldn't have any problems at all. It was only a matter of time before he returned.
Fortunately, Gu Zheng and the butterfly spirit flew in the black hole for four hours before encountering a suitable spatial storm.
Gu Zheng ate the food cultivator. With the butterfly spirit protecting him, he began to crazily devour the energy of the black hole.
The last time Gu Zheng's cultivation base had improved greatly was when Nu Han had become a Demi-Saint. Because of the interdependence of fortune and misfortune, Gu Zheng's Gluttony Immortal Art, which was at the seventh level and forty percent level, was enhanced to the seventh level and sixty percent level by a Heaven and Earth Blessing. He was only ten percent away from the Late Demi-Saint.
Whether it was the blessing of the world or the food cultivator, they weren't normal methods of increasing cultivation. They were much faster than normal methods of increasing cultivation....
For ordinary cultivators, eating food to improve their cultivation could be considered fast, but compared to the blessings of heaven and earth, the speed of improving cultivation could not be considered anything! Take the Black Hole Food Cultivator that Gu Zheng had taken as an example. It was a very effective food cultivator, but it didn't even improve Gu Zheng's Gokusen Technique by 10%.
According to Gu Zheng's current estimation, if he only consumed the Black Hole Food Cultivation to advance to the late stage of the Quasi-Sage Realm, he would need to consume it at least 10 more times. From this, it could be seen that the higher the cultivation level, the harder it would be to advance.
However, Gu Zheng wasn't too worried about the speed of his cultivation. He wasn't an ordinary cultivator. He had many more opportunities to quickly increase his cultivation compared to others. After all, he had the Star Ruins Mountain's Doctrine Palace, the butterfly spirit, the angry man and the butterfly spirit who were interdependent with him. He also had the Seventh Sense, which was only one step away from the Seven Mysterious Power.
After flying in the black hole for a while, Gu Zheng found the space node that led to the Untainted Land. He broke open the space and returned to the Untainted Land.
As soon as he returned to the Untainted Land, Gu Zheng was delighted. He could sense the angry man again, which meant that the angry man was within his range.
Gu Zheng could sense the angry man, and the angry man could also sense Gu Zheng. The two of them flew in the same direction, and soon met each other.
As Gu Zheng expected, the angry man didn't see Xiao Qi after entering the black hole. He didn't give up and wandered around in the black hole for a while. He broke open the space and came back not long ago.
After returning to the Star Ruins Mountain with the angry man, Gu Zheng made several food cultivators for the butterfly spirit, the angry man and Meow Meow. It was time for them to eat the food cultivators again.
What Gu Zheng needed to do next was to repair the Star Ruins Mountain.
The damage to the Star Ruins Mountain was 70%. If he could reduce the damage to 40%, the Dao Propagation Palace that Gu Zheng looked forward to the most could be used normally. If he could repair 30% of the damage to the Star Ruins Mountain, Gu Zheng wouldn't need to provide any more resources to repair the Star Ruins Mountain in the future. It could completely rely on its own absorption of Heaven and Earth energy to repair itself.
Originally, Gu Zheng had hoped that the trip to the Poisonous Swamp would allow him to obtain enough resources to repair the Star Ruins Mountain. He would be very satisfied if he could repair 40% of the damage to the Star Ruins Mountain, let alone 30%! Unfortunately, Di You's corpse had been snatched away by Xiao Qi, so the resources to repair the Star Ruins Mountain were naturally gone.
Gu Zheng had obtained a portion of the resources to repair the Star Ruins Mountain during his trip to the Zhenxiu Palace. Although the resources weren't much, according to Gu Zheng's estimation, they should be able to reduce the damage to the Star Ruins Mountain by 60%.
Gu Zheng was the owner of the Star Ruins Mountain. However, due to the fact that the Star Ruins Mountain was severely damaged, he didn't have an absolute understanding of the Star Ruins Mountain. This kind of missing understanding could only be recovered through repair.
After spending two days, Gu Zheng processed the resources used to repair the Star Ruin Mountain in various ways, turning them into pure energy, either crystals or liquids.
Now that the resources had been processed, the next step of the repair was very simple. Gu Zheng used his mind to make the central array formation in the central cave appear. Then, he placed the crystals or liquid energy that had been transformed from the resources in the missing parts of the array formation.
It was as if he was unblocking a channel. After Gu Zheng placed the energy used to repair the damage where it should be placed, the entire central array formation became brighter, and the missing parts were reduced a little.
As expected, this batch of repair resources reduced the damage to the Star Ruins Mountain by 60%. Gu Zheng also gained a better understanding of the Star Ruins Mountain.
"Awesome!"
After gaining a better understanding of the Star Ruins Mountain, Gu Zheng couldn't help but laugh.
In the past, Gu Zheng had thought that the Star Ruins Mountain could only open the crack that led to the world outside the circle once a day. However, after gaining a better understanding of the Star Ruins Mountain, Gu Zheng finally understood that the crack that led to the world outside the circle could not only be opened within a day! As the owner of the Star Ruins Mountain, he could set the time frame. The longest span could be set to be within half a year! There was a huge difference between a return trip in a day and a return trip in half a year. This would allow Gu Zheng to have a longer time to cultivate in the world outside the circle. He couldn't help but feel a little excited just thinking about it.
There was another point. The Star Ruins Mountain had many Star Spirits, and at the same time, it also stored a special kind of energy. This special kind of energy was called 'Commander Starlight'. Its function was to be used by the owner of the Star Ruins Mountain on a certain Star Spirit, thereby making this Star Spirit different.
After learning about the 'Commander Starlight', Gu Zheng first thought of Sun Cheng. As a servant of the Star Ruins Mountain and previously the Palace Master of the Star Palace, he met the criteria to absorb the 'Commander Starlight'.
After reducing the damage of the Star Ruins Mountain to 60%, Gu Zheng stayed on the Star Ruins Mountain for two days. Then, he sensed that Qixuan Fairy had appeared in the Turbulent Flow Sea.
She was dressed in white and looked like a 16 or 17-year-old girl. When Qixuan Fairy saw Gu Zheng suddenly appear beside her, she smiled so widely that her eyes almost turned into crescent moons. The pair of dimples on her face also set off her cuteness.
"Congratulations on advancing to the Sage-to-be!"
Through the device spirit, Gu Zheng already knew that Qixuan Fairy had advanced to the Sage-to-be.
Qixuan Fairy stuck her tongue out at Gu Zheng and then said, "I'm now a Sage-to-be, but it's not yet time to share the Power of Seven Mysteries with you. I still need about half a year to prepare here. Today, I'm here to invite you to go to the Spiritual Dance Palace with me and help my Senior Sister Fengming rebuild her body. "
Gu Zheng's heart moved. Although it was not too surprising that Heavenly Dance Sage Immortal had finally decided to let him rebuild Fengming Fairy's body, it also showed that the relationship between Heavenly Dance Sage Immortal and Emperor NvWa had really become strained over the matter of the Power of Seven Mysteries.
On the way to the Spiritual Dance Palace with Qixuan Fairy, Gu Zheng also learned from Qixuan Fairy that Heavenly Dance Sage Immortal and Emperor NvWa had some disagreements over the matter of the Power of Seven Mysteries. Emperor NvWa had even personally tried to change Qixuan Fairy's mind because of this matter. However, Qixuan Fairy had steeled her heart on this matter. No matter what Emperor NvWa said, she did not agree, which made Emperor NvWa somewhat angry.
After hearing what Qixuan Fairy said, Gu Zheng felt a burst of joy. Anything that could make Emperor NvWa angry was worth making him happy.
After following Qixuan Fairy to the Spiritual Dance Palace outside the 33 Heavens, Gu Zheng met Heavenly Dance Sage Immortal in the reception hall.
After greeting Heavenly Dance Sage Immortal, Heavenly Dance Sage Immortal gave him a seat and a few simple words with Gu Zheng. Then, Heavenly Dance Sage Immortal let Qixuan Fairy take Gu Zheng away to rebuild Fengming Fairy's body.
Heavenly Dance Sage Immortal was the least talkative among the ten Sage Immortals. This time, Gu Zheng did not say anything special to her. However, it was also because of this that Heavenly Dance Sage Immortal valued Gu Zheng very much! Otherwise, given her temperament, she would not have waited to see Gu Zheng when she had nothing to say. Even if Gu Zheng wanted to rebuild Fengming Fairy's body, this was still a matter between the younger generation.
Gu Zheng had a good impression of Heavenly Dance Sage Immortal. Although he had not interacted much with her, she did not put on the airs of a Sage Immortal. She gave Gu Zheng the feeling that she was a neighbor or an elder.
Fengming Fairy was only left with her spiritual will. Gu Zheng planned to create a body for her, just like what he had done with Sun Cheng. Without breaking the warning of the Heavenly Dao, he would do his best to rebuild a perfect body for her.
Back in the Poisonous Swamp, Gu Zheng had been worried that when he saw Fengming Fairy again, she would say something about how Gu Zheng had forcefully examined her body. After all, forcefully examining a body was like stripping her clothes off. Her body had no secrets in front of Gu Zheng. But now, Gu Zheng was no longer worried about this matter. Anyway, he was going to rebuild her body. He had to see through everything that he should and should not see.
Fengming Fairy did mention that Gu Zheng had forcefully examined her body. Gu Zheng was prepared for this. Knowing that she would not be too stubborn, he took the initiative to ask to rebuild her body and make her a good immortal fruit cultivation. Fengming Fairy did not say anything more about this matter.
While Gu Zheng was rebuilding Fengming Fairy's body, Emperor NvWa, who had divined that he had arrived at the Spiritual Dance Palace, had also come.
"Sister, what are you doing here this time?"
Even though they had been very unhappy last time, Heavenly Dance Sage Immortal still greeted Emperor NvWa with a smile.
"You even have to ask me what I'm doing here. It seems that my sister and I are still quite distant." Emperor NvWa's voice was cold.
"Although Gu Zheng is not my disciple, he is now in my Spiritual Dance Palace. If you want to teach him a lesson, how am I going to explain this to Senior Brother Gokusen and Senior Sister Yuexian?" Heavenly Dance Sage Immortal smiled bitterly.
"Sister, you are wrong. I did not come to your palace to teach that brat Gu Zheng a lesson. I just want to ask him for my disciple's relics." Emperor NvWa shook her head.
Heavenly Dance Sage Immortal frowned. When Emperor NvWa said that she was wrong, she felt a trace of a different aura from her. This feeling came from her sixth sense.
Heavenly Dance Sage Immortal wanted to divine something about Emperor NvWa, but it was inevitable that she would be discovered by Emperor NvWa at such a close distance. That would be very rude.
"Xiao Qi has already snatched Gu Zheng's opportunity to become a Saint. It is reasonable that Gu Zheng took some relics of your disciple as compensation. I think you should go back. A Sage Immortal came to ask for something from a junior. If the other Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters hear about it, it will be very embarrassing. Even if you really want to take back those relics, you can ask your disciple to do it for you. "
Heavenly Dance Sage Immortal knew that saying this would make Emperor NvWa unhappy, but she still said it. She wanted to see if she could see more things from Emperor NvWa's reaction without divining anything about her.
"What do you mean Xiao Qi snatched Gu Zheng's opportunity to become a Saint? In the end, Gu Zheng did not get the opportunity to become a Saint. It can only be said that he was not fated to become a Saint. This is not someone else's fault! As for asking for my disciple's relics, I think it is very necessary! "
Emperor NvWa paused and said with a sneer, "Sister, you don't know, right? When that bastard Gu Zheng killed my disciple, Chen Xi, he stared into my eyes the entire time. From his eyes, I could tell that he had already decided to fight to the death with my disciples. If I ask my disciples to ask him for his inheritance, I believe that not only will he not return it, he will also cause me to lose another disciple! "
Heavenly Dance Sage Immortal deliberately angered Emperor NvWa because she could sense a clearer aura from Emperor NvWa. This aura shocked her because Emperor NvWa's Dao Heart had been disturbed!
Disturbing one's Dao Heart was a great taboo on the path of cultivation. Most of the time, qi deviation would happen because of this. For Sage Immortals, there was no such thing as disturbing their Dao Heart. They were not on the same level as cultivators! However, it was the prelude to the Primal Chaos Tribulation. Emperor NvWa's Dao Heart had been disturbed. This was an extremely dangerous matter! Moreover, Emperor NvWa herself would not know about this. Heavenly Dance Sage Immortal could not go against the will of the heavens and tell her that this was her tribulation!
"It is better to squash enmity than to keep it alive. If sister is willing, I can try to persuade Gu Zheng to let this matter go."
Heavenly Dance Sage Immortal did not want anything to happen to Emperor NvWa. They had been sisters for too many years. Although she could not tell Emperor NvWa that it was very dangerous, she could try to resolve this tribulation.
"It is better to squash enmity than to keep it alive? Sister, you've spoken my mind! If you can persuade Qixuan to share Qixuan's power according to the previous agreement, then I can forget about Gu Zheng killing one of my disciples! "Emperor NvWa said.
Heavenly Dance Sage Immortal shook her head. "Qixuan has always listened to me, but once she has made up her mind, she will not change it."
"Sister, are you willing to try again for me?" Emperor NvWa asked again.
"There is no need. I naturally understand my disciple."
Heavenly Dance Sage Immortal sighed. Emperor NvWa's Dao Heart had truly been disturbed. She could even say such words! Under such circumstances, even Heavenly Dance Sage Immortal, who was Fairy Qixuan's master, could not interfere too much. Otherwise, it would affect Fairy Qixuan's contribution to the Sage Immortal Power! If her Dao Heart had not been disturbed, Emperor NvWa would definitely not have said such words. However, her Dao Heart had been disturbed, and she even gave Heavenly Dance Sage Immortal the feeling that she could not reverse the situation.
"Sisterhood is nothing more than this. Sister, you are not even willing to try again."
Emperor NvWa smiled bitterly. She felt that she was the one who had been hurt the most.
Before Heavenly Dance Sage Immortal could say anything, Emperor NvWa said, "Alright, there is no need to say anything else. I am going to find Gu Zheng and ask for my disciple's remains. Sister, you won't stop me, right?"
"Sister, you are a Sage Immortal. Naturally, you have your own considerations. Sister, please do as you wish!"
Heavenly Dance Sage Immortal was mentally exhausted. She could only remind Emperor NvWa that she was a Sage Immortal. She hoped that Emperor NvWa could correct her Dao Heart before the Chaos Tribulation. Otherwise, she would really have to face the tribulation.
Heavenly Dance Sage Immortal's response to Emperor NvWa's heart skipped a beat.
After all, Emperor NvWa was a Sage Immortal. Although she did not know that her Dao Heart had been disturbed, she felt that she was indeed a little unsettled when it came to Gu Zheng. However, on second thought, Xiao Qi's fortuitous opportunity represented her safety. If Xiao Qi was not strong enough, there was a great chance that she would die during the Chaos Tribulation. She immediately felt irritated that she had not been discovered.
"Life Dao?"
As they approached the back garden, Emperor NvWa was shocked. She, who had also mastered an advanced Life Dao, naturally discovered that Gu Zheng's mastery of the advanced Life Dao was above hers. This also made her feel a little shocked about Gu Zheng. However, due to her Dao Heart being disturbed, this shock did not make Emperor NvWa more cautious about Gu Zheng. Instead, it made her feel that Gu Zheng was a greater threat to Xiao Qi's Sage Position.
"Greetings, Your Highness!"
Seeing Emperor NvWa appear in the back garden, Fairy Qixuan's heart skipped a beat. She hurriedly stepped forward to greet her.
"Xuan 'er, you may rise!"
Emperor NvWa greeted Fairy Qixuan with a smile as if she had changed into a different person. It made people feel as if they were bathing in the spring breeze.
"Did Your Highness come to the Spiritual Dance Palace this time to find my master?"
Although she felt as if she was bathing in the spring breeze, Fairy Qixuan was still very wary of Emperor NvWa. She did not think that Emperor NvWa's purpose in coming to the Spiritual Dance Palace at this time was simple.
