Half a month later, Gu Zheng finished his closed-door training and prepared to go to the Fallen Ice Snowfield.
The Fallen Ice Snowfield was located in the Dongsheng Yingzhou, which was very far from the Turbulent Current Sea. Fortunately, Gu Zheng had the Meteor Moon Catching Up, so he could reach there faster than ordinary people.
After using the Meteor Moon Catching Up a dozen times, Gu Zheng arrived at the border of the Fallen Ice Snowfield.
In front of him was a world of ice and snow. It was so vast that he couldn't see the end of it. There were no plants at all.
The Fallen Ice Snowfield was not like the Poisonous Swamp. Due to the instability of space in the Poisonous Swamp, Gu Zheng couldn't use the Meteor Moon Catching Up. However, the stability of space in the Fallen Ice Snowfield was normal. Gu Zheng could still use the Meteor Moon Catching Up and reach the depths of the Fallen Ice Snowfield as fast as he could.
As one of the four perilous places in the Untainted Land, the Fallen Ice Snowfield was always dangerous because of the cold. The deeper one went into the snowfield, the lower the temperature would be.
If the Fallen Ice Snowfield was divided into three parts, the periphery, the depths, and the core, then the coldness in the periphery could affect Void Returning cultivators, the coldness in the depths could affect Jin Xian cultivators, and the coldness in the core could affect Daluo Jinxian cultivators. Of course, this was just the ordinary coldness. There were even more terrifying natural phenomena in the Fallen Ice Snowfield, as well as the unique spirit beasts and monsters.
There were no plants or monsters in the periphery of the Fallen Ice Snowfield. However, in the depths and the core, there were more of these things. There were even three sects of cultivators.
Gu Zheng was now in the depths of the Fallen Ice Snowfield. He was climbing up a long flight of stairs. He was going to a sect called the Profound Ice Sect. The Fallen Jade Spring was in the back mountain of this sect.
To be able to establish a sect in the depths of the Fallen Ice Snowfield, the Profound Ice Sect's strength was not bad. Although there were only two hundred people, there were five Daluo Jinxian cultivators among them.
At the end of the long flight of stairs was the mountain gate of the Profound Ice Sect. There were several huge ice flying swords hanging above the tall mountain gate. After Gu Zheng entered a certain range, the flying swords vibrated slightly and pointed their tips at Gu Zheng, warning him that he would enter the forbidden area if he went any further.
Gu Zheng naturally didn't care about the flying swords guarding the mountain gate, but he still stopped.
"Steward of the Profound Ice Sect, come out!"
Gu Zheng did not follow the normal procedure of asking the guarding disciple to report his arrival. He was a Pre-Saint after all. He had already given the other party face by not barging in directly. Therefore, his voice went through the guarding formation of the Profound Ice Sect and rang in the base of the Profound Ice Sect.
The stewards of the Profound Ice Sect felt a chill in their hearts. Although the other party's voice was gentle, he was at least at the Late-stage of Almighty Immortal to be able to pass through the Mountain-guarding Formation and reach the sect's encampment. They hurriedly flew toward the mountain gate.
Gu Zheng did not change his appearance, but there were still not many people who knew him. At the very least, the people from the Profound Ice Sect did not know who he was.
"Why have you come to my Profound Ice Sect?" The Sect Master of the Profound Ice Sect asked tentatively.
"I want a bowl of Falling Jade Spring Water from Profound Ice Sect."
The moment Gu Zheng said this, the Profound Ice Sect's expression changed. Their sect leader sneered, "Dao friend mocking my Profound Ice Sect, are you looking for trouble?"
"I just want a bowl of Falling Jade Spring Water. How is that looking for trouble?"
Gu Zheng frowned. It didn't seem like he was looking for trouble. Steward Steward Steward said, "There is no Falling Jade Spring Water. You can go back to where you came from."
They didn't pay much attention to Gu Zheng. Although they couldn't see through Gu Zheng's cultivation, they could tell that he was young. Therefore, they took Gu Zheng as an ignorant person who was asking for water. After all, Falling Jade Spring Water could be used to refine weapons. Every year, they would meet people who asked for water.
"Hehe."
Gu Zheng smiled. He was not a person who liked to put on airs, so his aura was naturally more restrained. But now, it seemed that not putting on airs might have made some things more troublesome.
The people from Black Ice Sect had already turned around, but now, they all turned back in shock. When Gu Zheng laughed, his aura naturally leaked out. The people from the Profound Ice Sect naturally felt it.
"You …"
The Sect Leader of the Profound Ice Sect opened his eyes wide and was speechless. He could not believe the aura he sensed. This man was not an ordinary Sage-to-be!
"Those who don't know are not guilty. If my words have offended you, I hope you can forgive me!"
The Elder of the Mysterious Ice School also came out with the Master of the Mysterious Ice School. The Master of the Mysterious Ice School was only in the realm of Jin Xian. Therefore, the Elder of the Mysterious Ice School, who was in the realm of Daluo Jinxian, believed it without a doubt.
"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and apologize to His Excellency! "
Another Elder of the Mysterious Ice School shouted at the disciples who did not know what was going on. He really regretted it now. He should have known when Gu Zheng's voice sounded in the school. If he had offended a Sage-to-be, there would be no reason for the Mysterious Ice School to exist.
"My Excellency, please forgive us. Those who don't know are not guilty!"
"My Excellency, please forgive us. Those who don't know are not guilty!"
The Master of the Mysterious Ice School said bitterly. The disciples behind him also hurriedly bowed and apologized.
Gu Zheng was not angry at all. Now, seeing these people in fear and trepidation, he waved his hand, indicating that they did not need to bow so often.
"Why do you think I'm here to make trouble?" Gu Zheng asked.
"My Excellency, it's like this …"
Through the explanation of an Elder of the Mysterious Ice School, Gu Zheng understood what was going on.
A year ago, a demonic cultivator in the Sage-to-be Realm came to the Mysterious Ice School. He forced his way into the place where the Falling Jade Spring was. No one knew what demonic skill he used on the Falling Jade Spring. Anyway, the Falling Jade Spring dried up. The reason why the Mysterious Ice School took root in the Fallen Ice Snowfield was to use the Falling Jade Spring to practice their special cultivation method. The drying up of the Falling Jade Spring was equivalent to cutting off the lifeline of their family line! This matter was treated as a joke by the other two sects in the Fallen Ice Snowfield. Therefore, when Gu Zheng came to ask for the Falling Jade Spring at this time, Mysterious Ice School naturally did not treat him well.
"Do you still have the Falling Jade Spring stored in your school? I can use other resources to exchange for a bowl of it! "Gu Zheng asked.
"My Excellency, you don't know. We don't refine weapons and we guard the Falling Jade Spring. The Falling Jade Spring required by our cultivation method will be used once taken out. Otherwise, it will lose its spirituality. Therefore, there's no need to store it in advance." The Elder of the Mysterious Ice School smiled bitterly.
"Take me to see the source of your Falling Jade Spring."
Since he was already here, Gu Zheng naturally did not want to leave empty-handed. He wanted to see the source of the Falling Jade Spring and see if there was a way to make it flow again.
The people of the Mysterious Ice School did not dare to object to Gu Zheng's request. They took Gu Zheng to the back mountain of the Mysterious Ice School.
After taking Gu Zheng to the source of the Falling Jade Spring, the Elder of the Mysterious Ice School pointed at the dried-up pool and said helplessly, "When the Falling Jade Spring is abundant, this pool can be filled up."
Gu Zheng did not say anything. He separated his Spiritual Sense and looked down the Falling Jade Spring.
A moment later, Gu Zheng's brows furrowed tightly.
The water of the Jade Meteorite Spring was poisonous, but it was still a kind of Spirit Spring. Now, it had already dried up for a year, but there was still blood Qi gathered in the spring without dissipating. This could only mean that the Devil Cultivator back then had used the Jade Meteorite Spring to cultivate a Devil Technique related to blood, causing the Spirit Spring's spirituality to be extinguished by the blood and dissipate between heaven and earth. This was no longer something that could be solved through Immortal Techniques such as the Water Control Art.
"Since the Falling Jade Spring has dried up, I won't disturb you anymore. Goodbye!"
Gu Zheng was ready to leave the Mysterious Ice School. It seemed that he had to think of a new way to get the Neidan of the Mud Spirit.
When Gu Zheng was about to leave, the Sect Leader of the Mysterious Ice School frowned and sent a message to the Elder, "Elder, do you think we should tell this Lord about the demonic cultivator?"
Hearing the Sect Leader's words, the Elder of the Mysterious Ice School quickly replied, "Please don't! If this Lord is powerful enough to kill the demonic cultivator, we'll just vent our anger. But if the demonic cultivator doesn't die and he knows about this, we'll be the ones who die! Moreover, at their level of cultivation, they rarely fight to the death. So you'd better give up on this idea! "
"What are you talking about?"
Gu Zheng, who was walking forward, suddenly turned around and looked at the Sect Leader and Elder of the Mysterious Ice School with a faint smile.
At Gu Zheng's level of cultivation, it was almost impossible for the Sect Leader and Elder of the Mysterious Ice School to hide from him.
However, Gu Zheng only knew that the Sect Leader and Elder of the Mysterious Ice School were communicating with each other. He did not know what they were talking about.
However, ever since he had gained control of the Seventh Sense, Gu Zheng's abilities in all aspects had improved. For example, he was sure that the Sect Leader and Elder of the Mysterious Ice School were communicating about him! This was not a guess or a feeling. It was a strange certainty that could not be wrong.
"Nothing!"
The Sect Leader and Elder of the Mysterious Ice School said in unison.
"Didn't you say something about me?"
The smile on Gu Zheng's face disappeared. The Sect Leader and Elder of the Mysterious Ice School were shocked.
"We really didn't say anything about you, Lord. We were just talking about something in the Mysterious Ice School!"
The Sect Leader of the Mysterious Ice School gritted his teeth. He quickly lied and tried to let this matter go.
"If you lie to ordinary people, they wouldn't know if you're telling the truth. But if you lie to me, then you're lying to the wrong person!"
Gu Zheng sneered and waved his hand at the Elder of Black Ice Sect. The Elder of Black Ice Sect immediately flew towards him uncontrollably. The energy of heaven and earth also suppressed the Elder of Black Ice Sect. The Elder of Black Ice Sect could not resist.
"Spare my life, Lord!"
"Spare my life, Lord!"
The Sect Leader and Elder of the Mysterious Ice School begged Gu Zheng for mercy.
"Spare your life? Let me see what you've said before I decide! "
Gu Zheng did not hold back. He immediately used Soul Search on the Black Ice Sect Elder.
After a while, the Sect Leader of the Mysterious Ice School was put down by Gu Zheng. He was still begging Gu Zheng for mercy.
"You don't have to die for this."
Gu Zheng said and then left the Mysterious Ice School.
After searching the Sect Leader's soul, Gu Zheng found out that before the demonic cultivator used his demonic technique on the Falling Jade Spring, he had used a bottle-like Immortal Artifact to collect a lot of Falling Jade Spring Water. The demonic cultivator was now in another Immortal Sect in the Fallen Ice Snowfield!
Gu Zheng wanted to find the demonic cultivator and see if he had any more Falling Jade Spring Water.
The sect that the demonic cultivator was in was called the Ice Cave Sect. Its strength was on par with the Mysterious Ice School.
Although the Mysterious Ice School was a little far from the Ice Cave Sect, it was nothing compared to Gu Zheng's Meteor Moon Catching Up.
"Demon Wind Venerable, please show yourself!"
When they arrived at the entrance of the Ice Cave Sect, Gu Zheng's voice resonated directly in the Ice Cave Sect's estate.
Gu Zheng had seen almost all the Sages-to-be in the Untainted Land at the Heavenly Court's gathering. Even if he had not seen them, he had heard of them. However, he didn't know much about Venerable Demon Wind.
Hearing that someone wanted to see Demon Wind Venerable in this way, several senior members of the Ice Cave Sect hurried out to meet him.
After what had happened outside the gate of the Mysterious Ice School, Gu Zheng put on airs this time. He released his aura to let the people of the Ice Cave Sect know his realm immediately.
Seeing that it was a Sages-to-be, the people of the Ice Cave Sect hurriedly saluted.
"Forget it. Where is Demon Wind Venerable?"
Gu Zheng did not want to say anything more and went straight to the point.
"Venerable is in seclusion in our sect," an Elder of the Ice Cave Sect replied.
"When will he come out?" Gu Zheng frowned slightly.
"Venerable did not mention it when he was in seclusion," the Elder of the Ice Cave Sect said cautiously.
"Take me to the place where he is in seclusion and let me see the specific situation!" Gu Zheng said.
"Sir, this …" The Elder of the Ice Cave Sect was in a dilemma.
"Don't worry. If he blames me for this, just say that I forced my way in!"
Since Gu Zheng had said so, the Elder of the Ice Cave Sect did not dare to say anything more. He hurriedly took Gu Zheng to the place where Venerable Cold Wind was in seclusion.
The Ice Cave Sect was built on a huge piece of Ancient Mysterious Ice. There was a maze-like ice cave in this piece of Ancient Mysterious Ice.
White cold air condensed at the entrance of the ice cave. It was cold enough to freeze an ordinary Daluo Jinxian at the initial stage.
In addition to the cold air, there was a restriction set by Venerable Cold Wind at the entrance of the ice cave. From the restriction, Gu Zheng could tell that Venerable Cold Wind was not in a seclusion that could not be disturbed. Therefore, he directly shouted at the ice cave.
"Fellow Daoist Cold Wind, I have a request. I hope that you can show yourself."
Gu Zheng spoke very politely. His words turned into echoes that echoed in the maze-like ice cave until they reached the ears of Venerable Cold Wind, who was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed.
Venerable Cold Wind, who was sitting cross-legged on a huge formation, frowned. After opening his eyes, he did not directly answer Gu Zheng's question. Instead, he formed a seal into the air, causing the scene outside the cave to appear in the void.
"Gu Zheng!"
Venerable Cold Wind's frown deepened. Then, a trace of a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"This is really good fortune for me to meet you here. It just so happens that you have a request for me!"
Although Venerable Cold Wind was laughing strangely in his heart, his answer to Gu Zheng was very normal.
"It's not convenient for this Venerable to receive guests. If you really want to see me, then come into the ice cave!"
Venerable Cold Wind's voice was slightly cold, carrying the arrogance of a Quasi-Sage.
Gu Zheng did not say much. He directly broke the restriction that sealed the cave entrance and jumped into the ice cave.
After falling for a height of a thousand feet, Gu Zheng finally touched the ground of the ice cave.
The Eternal Cold Ice emitted a faint light, causing this underground world to not be dark. There was a huge ice cave in front of Gu Zheng. Within the range of his vision, Gu Zheng saw several forks in the ice cave.
"Hu …"
A gust of cold wind blew from the cave, causing the temperature to drop again.
The inside of the cave was much colder than the outside. Even Daluo Jinxian, who was in the middle stage, would find it difficult to stay here for long. However, this was nothing to Gu Zheng. He did not even use any external protection.
After splitting his Divine Sense to search for Venerable Cold Wind's location, Gu Zheng himself walked toward the huge ice cave.
"Interesting. It's actually a formation outside the circle."
Looking at the formation patterns that appeared and disappeared in the Eternal Cold Ice, Gu Zheng's heart became a little more cautious.
"This formation is very large. It should be a mechanism type formation. You should be more careful."
The Artifact Spirit's voice sounded in Gu Zheng's mind. When Gu Zheng entered the ice cave, she began to explore the cave's environment.
"The tail of the Divine Sense has been cut off, so it can work with the main body. However, this doesn't seem to be much. I'll give you a greeting gift first!"
Through the image in the void, Venerable Cold Wind could see Gu Zheng's every move. After he struck a spell at the formation below him, a crisp sound was suddenly heard in the ice cave.
The crisp sound was because the Eternal Cold Ice cracked. The location of the crack was where Gu Zheng's Divine Sense was about to pass through.
Gu Zheng's Divine Sense stopped. The Eternal Cold Ice had a special characteristic. It was very sturdy. Even if it was not supported by any immortal formation, its sturdiness was comparable to a high-grade immortal weapon. And for such a sturdy object to crack, it was obviously not a normal situation.
"Flap flap flap …"
From the top of the ice cave, something fell out. It flapped its wings like a bat and flew towards Gu Zheng's Divine Sense.
The Divine Sense was not connected to Gu Zheng's tail, but Gu Zheng could still use it as his eyes and launch Divine Sense attacks through it. Because of this, Gu Zheng knew that this bat-like thing was as transparent as the Eternal Cold Ice. It was impossible to determine its strength from its aura.
Since the transparent bat was flying towards Gu Zheng's Divine Sense light spot, Gu Zheng did not hesitate to let the Divine Sense light spot collide with it.
The two flew towards the same place and the distance instantly closed. Just as Gu Zheng's Divine Sense light spot was about to collide with the transparent bat, a sense of danger arose in Gu Zheng's heart. Gu Zheng also understood that this transparent bat seemed to be able to threaten his Divine Sense light spot.
With a thought, Gu Zheng made the Divine Sense light spot change its flight path. It was almost flying close to the transparent bat's ear. However, the transparent bat suddenly turned around and shot out a long tongue from its mouth. It accurately hit Gu Zheng's Divine Sense light spot, causing Gu Zheng to instantly lose his ability to sense the Divine Sense light spot.
"Interesting. It can actually devour Divine Sense!"
Gu Zheng sped up. A demon that could devour Divine Sense. He had only heard of some life forms outside the circle that had such an ability.
"One is enough to deal with your Divine Sense. I'll need a group to deal with you."
Venerable Han Feng sneered in his heart. He once again cast a spell at the array. The sound of ice breaking could be heard in the tunnel where the transparent bat was.
