Gu Zheng saw that the insect was afraid of fire, and he also saw that the insect was in a weaker state. This might have something to do with its mass reproduction.
Now that the insect wanted to use venom to extinguish the flames, Gu Zheng naturally wouldn't agree. He pointed at the insect, and a fire crane appeared out of thin air and landed on the insect's body.
The insect let out a strange cry. Its upper body, which was standing like a human, shot a strange light at Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng's vision darkened, and then lit up again. The environment he was in was no longer the wormhole from before.
"The Immortal Domain?"
Although the environment was unfamiliar, Gu Zheng instantly felt a sense of familiarity. This was indeed a space similar to the Immortal Domain.
There were no more insects in front of him. As far as he could see, it was a desert.
This was a strange space that was completely different from the Immortal Domain. Exploring this space would help him understand the Dao of Space. Therefore, Gu Zheng didn't immediately try to break it with the Gaia Hammer.
"Hualala …"
The stones on the ground seemed to come to life. As they kept shaking, strange looking beetles crawled out from under them.
"Rumble!"
The earth shook, and cracks appeared one after another. One after another, centipede-like insects that were more than ten feet in size also drilled out from the ground.
The sound of wings flapping sounded in the air, and strange feathered insects swooped down towards Gu Zheng from the sky.
The mighty insect army made one's scalp tingle. There were more than ten types of insects, and they all attacked Gu Zheng with all their might.
All kinds of strange attacks were aimed at Gu Zheng, but Gu Zheng completely ignored them by relying on the 'Five Elements Shield' on the surface of his body. After all, most of the insects were weak. Only a few of them had destructive power comparable to Daluo Jinxian, and Gu Zheng didn't care at all.
"I've really entered a world of insects!"
Gu Zheng frowned. Although he knew that these bugs were not real, and were only illusions created by the energy of the Immortal Realm, these things kept launching useless attacks at him, which still made him feel a little disgusted.
With a thought, Gu Zheng used the energy of the Celestial Realm. As the space continued to tremble, all the bugs were turned into dust.
In the Immortal Realm, there was always a special situation where this kind of divine ability could be used in reverse! Although the Immortal Realm created by the insect was not quite the same as the Immortal Realm of the cultivators, in essence, it was still the same. When Gu Zheng had a certain understanding of it, he was already able to control the energy of the Immortal Realm like the owner of the Immortal Realm! Gu Zheng's mastery of the Seventh Sense and his advanced mastery of the Path of Space had something to do with him being able to achieve this.
The world was already quiet. Gu Zheng, who had enough understanding of the Immortal Realm, already knew where the insects were hiding. He teleported with a thought, and in the next moment, he appeared somewhere in the Gobi Desert that seemed ordinary.
The insects were hiding in the ground in front of Gu Zheng, and this place was very close to the weak point of the space of the Immortal Realm.
Gu Zheng stretched out his hand and waved it. The earth cracked, and the insects that couldn't hide immediately drilled out.
The reason why the insects didn't immediately appear to attack Gu Zheng after activating the Immortal Realm was indeed as Gu Zheng had guessed before. They were in a relatively weak state because of reproduction.
In the Immortal Realm, the insects were at least ten times larger than outside, and they looked very terrifying. However, Gu Zheng had extraordinary authority to control the energy of the Immortal Realm. His body also turned into a giant under the infusion of the energy of the Immortal Realm.
"Slash!"
Gu Zheng slashed at the insect's abdomen. Under the enhancement of the energy of the Immortal Realm, the black saber light was as terrifying as a wave.
"Whoosh!"
The insect opened its mouth and spat out poisonous fog at Gu Zheng. This move might be relatively ordinary in the outside world, but in its Immortal Realm, the effect was completely a storm that swept through the world.
The waves were swept away by the storm and disappeared without a trace. Gu Zheng's body also disappeared on the spot, easily avoiding the storm's sweep.
"An insect is an insect. It has magical powers similar to the Immortal Realm, but its use is really pitifully weak!"
Through the teleportation of the Path of Space, Gu Zheng launched a violent attack on the insect. Although he could control the energy in the insect's Immortal Realm to a great extent, if the insect's understanding of the Immortal Realm could be as normal as that of an immortal cultivator, then combined with the strangeness of this Immortal Realm, it was simply impossible for Gu Zheng to have the power to control the energy of the Immortal Realm! After all, if the insect's Immortal Realm could be completely understood by the insect, then it would be the most powerful Immortal Realm Gu Zheng had ever seen.
The insect screamed again and again. It was very difficult for its attacks to touch Gu Zheng. Even if it touched Gu Zheng, it could not break the 'Five Elements Shield' on the surface of Gu Zheng's body. On the other hand, its abdomen, which was relatively vulnerable, had been cut open by Gu Zheng, revealing the 'cloned' Immortal Cultivator inside that was not fully mature yet.
"Die!"
Gu Zheng slashed out with the 'Mad Demon Blade' again. As long as this slash could hit, he would be able to cut off the insect's huge abdomen! And Gu Zheng also believed that the abdomen was equivalent to the dantian of an immortal cultivator to the insect. Once the dantian was destroyed, the immortal cultivator would also be crippled.
However, a scene that surprised Gu Zheng happened. The insect's intestines actually flew out of its stomach and danced wildly like tentacles. They resisted Gu Zheng's' Mad Demon Blade 'at the price of an inch.
"Hehe!"
Without its intestines, the insect was naturally heavily injured. As green liquid flowed out of its mouth, it actually laughed like a human.
Gu Zheng frowned. He heard a hint of mockery in the insect's laughter! It seemed that the insect understood that Gu Zheng wanted to cut off its abdomen so that he could search its soul when it was unable to resist. And its laughter was mocking Gu Zheng's wishful thinking!
As expected, a violent wave appeared in the insect's body. It wanted to destroy Gu Zheng's hopes by self-destructing.
"Dream on!"
Gu Zheng sneered. With the use of the Dao of Time, the violent energy in the insect's body calmed down.
"Whoosh!"
With its self-destruction blocked, the insect let out a sharp cry, full of madness.
"Accept your fate!"
Gu Zheng slashed out again. The insect's abdomen was cut off and its upper body fell to the ground.
Without its abdomen, the insect was basically crippled. Gu Zheng placed a few restrictions on its body, turning it into a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. The Immortal Domain it had used also automatically disappeared.
"Junior Brother!"
Seeing Gu Zheng come out of the Immortal Domain, Fairy Huan Yin was extremely happy.
Originally, Illusory Sound Fairy wanted to find the other voice. However, after Gu Zheng was sucked into the immortal domain, his spiritual will light spot instantly dimmed. At the same time, he lost the ability to communicate with Illusory Sound Fairy. This made Illusory Sound Fairy understand that something had happened to him.
Although Gu Zheng's spiritual will could leave his body to do some things, it was still a spiritual will. When Gu Zheng was not in the same space as it, it would immediately turn into the state that Fairy Huan Yin saw.
When Fairy Huan Yin rushed over, she found that Gu Zheng had been brought into the Immortal Domain by the insect. However, the insect's Immortal Domain was very strange. Even if she used all her methods, she could not break it from the outside. Just as she was feeling anxious and helpless, Gu Zheng, who did not waste too much time in the Immortal Domain, came out.
"Senior Sister, I'm fine!"
Gu Zheng smiled at Fairy Huan Yin, who was looking at him with concern, and roughly explained what had happened in the Immortal Domain.
After searching the insect's soul, Gu Zheng had a certain understanding of it. At the same time, he also knew where the insects it bred in the wormhole were.
"Junior Brother, are there two insects here?"
Seeing that Gu Zheng had finished searching the insect's soul, Fairy Huan Yin immediately asked what she was most concerned about.
"Insects are hermaphrodites. The one that made the sound was not another insect." Gu Zheng said.
"Oh? If it was not another insect, then what was it? "Fairy Huan Yin asked curiously.
"It was a rare mushroom!"
Gu Zheng paused for a moment, then told Fairy Huan Yin about the mushroom.
In the higher planes where the insect lived, its status was not as high as one would think. It was equivalent to the monsters in the wilderness, and there were not many enemies that could threaten it.
In every insect's cave, there was a strange mushroom. This mushroom was cultivated by the insect's own energy, and it became a tool that the insect could use. This tool had many benefits for the insect, and the most important one was the effect it had on the insect's divine sense.
For example, in the wormhole Gu Zheng was in now, some of the insect's silk could destroy divine sense and prevent it from being detected. This was not because the silk itself was special, but because it could establish a mysterious connection with the mushroom. As an insect, it could have a Immortal Domain that was related to divine sense. This was also due to the influence of the mushroom.
"What a strange mushroom. Could it be an ingredient?"
After hearing Gu Zheng's words, Fairy Huan Yin's eyes lit up.
"Whether or not it is an ingredient is hard to say. We will only know after we see it!"
A moment later, Gu Zheng and Fairy Huan Yin saw the bowl-sized, colorful mushroom.
Using the Eye of Dao, Gu Zheng did not find that the mushroom was poisonous. Using the Heart of Dao, Gu Zheng found that there were many mysterious substances in the mushroom that he had never seen before.
"Junior Brother, how is it?" Fairy Huan Yin asked.
"Although there are many mysterious substances in the mushroom that I have never seen before, at least on the surface, I am sure that it is not poisonous!"
After the incident with Anilu's vegetarian dish, Gu Zheng became more cautious about the mysterious substances in ingredients that he had never seen before.
"I have defined it as a special Immortal Grade ingredient. Although it does not have the trace of Dao that normal Immortal Grade ingredients have, there are some special substances in it that can produce a certain degree of resonance with divine sense," Gu Zheng said.
"Junior Brother, can you cook it into a special food that can strengthen divine sense?" Fairy Huan Yin asked again.
"With my current attainments in the Dao of Food, I can cook a food that can increase the strength of divine sense. However, there are too many mysterious substances in this mushroom. If I don't have enough understanding of these substances, I might destroy it by cooking it rashly, "Gu Zheng said.
"In any case, to be able to obtain such an ingredient is already a kind of opportunity. It has allowed me to see more things, and it has also made me want to go to the higher realms outside the circle," Gu Zheng said.
Although the big worm had been dealt with, Gu Zheng did not plan to leave the wormhole immediately. After all, there were many small worms here. If they were left alone, they would all have the potential to grow into big worms. Therefore, before leaving, he had to get rid of them all! Fortunately, Gu Zheng already knew how to find the small worms more efficiently when he searched the big worm's soul. This would also save him a lot of trouble.
However, Gu Zheng did not plan to search for the small worms himself. He left this matter to Fairy Huan Yin and the others, and then he entered a state of enlightenment. Although he hadn't been able to enter the Profound Realm to comprehend the Dao of Death, the Profound Realm had been triggered by his understanding of the Dao of Death after all. Therefore, he wanted to properly comprehend that understanding. He hoped to understand it more thoroughly and also hoped to trigger another fortuitous encounter.
At night, the immortal camp was shrouded in an oppressive atmosphere.
The abnormality in the black hole, the losses in the battle during the day, and the outer demons that escaped into the Snowfield of Meteoric Ice. None of these were small matters.
After the incident, Taiyi Zhenren had already reported it to the Heavenly Court, and the Heavenly Court had replied that they would send more people over. However, due to the special space of the Snowfield of Meteoric Ice, there was no way to set up a teleportation formation here. Therefore, the reinforcements from the Heavenly Court would not be able to arrive quickly. In addition, Taiyi Zhenren had reported the incident to the Heavenly Court. In fact, he wanted to know what the Sage Immortals would say about it. However, the Heavenly Court's reply was that the Great Celestial Stars Formation was in a critical period, and they were unable to inform the ten Sage Immortals in time.
Without the Sage Immortals' instructions, the Heavenly Court's decision to send more people over made Taiyi Zhenren and the others somewhat uncertain.
Without the worries of the other Quasi-Sages, Fairy Linglong reclined on the bed, holding a cup of immortal wine and taking a sip from it from time to time. There was an indescribable contentment on her face.
Fairy Linglong was waiting. She was waiting for the outer demons that escaped during the day to contact her.
"Long time no see!"
Before Fairy Linglong could finish her cup of wine, a sharp voice suddenly rang out in her head. The owner of this voice was the dragon-shaped demon that had broken the funnel-shaped immortal formation during the day.
"What took you so long?" Fairy Linglong asked.
"There are all kinds of restrictions in the Immortal Camp, so it will take some effort to communicate with you without alerting others. Let's get down to business. What do you need us to do next? "
"The first thing you need to do is enter the Spirit Ascension Hall of the immortal camp at an appropriate time …."
In the Spirit Ascension Hall, the demon refiners would process the outer demons killed by the immortal camp into energy that could be used to maintain the Great Celestial Stars Formation. Every five years, the Heavenly Court would send people to the Spirit Ascension Hall to retrieve a batch of this special energy. The last time the Heavenly Court sent people to retrieve this energy was four years ago. Now, the special energy stored in the Spirit Ascension Hall had reached a rather impressive level.
At the same time, the ten Sage Immortals within the Great Celestial Stars Formation opened their eyes one after another.
The ten Sage Immortals had been wholeheartedly focused on maintaining the Great Celestial Stars Formation. Now that this period had passed, as Sage Immortals, they immediately sensed something.
"Senior Brother, what are you going to do about something like this happening in the Snowfield of Meteoric Ice?" Primordial looked at Laozi.
"This matter must be handled properly. If not, it will affect the arrival of the Chaos Tribulation."
Laozi's expression was solemn. Due to the influence of the Chaos Tribulation, the Sage Immortals' ability to deduce things had decreased, especially when it came to things that happened in dangerous places. Therefore, even the ten Sage Immortals did not know everything that had happened in the Snowfield of Meteoric Ice.
"I'm going to send Zhen Yuanzi over," Laozi said.
"Zhen Yuanzi still has some things to take care of. Since we need someone with enough power to go over, we might as well send Tathagata over," Cundi said.
Laozi frowned and did not reply to Cundi directly. He looked at the other Sage Immortals and said, "Do you have any objections to sending Tathagata to the Snowfield of Meteoric Ice?"
"No objections!"
Almost all of the Sage Immortals expressed their opinions. Only Le Xian remained silent.
"Senior Brother!" Le Xian transmitted her voice to Gokusen.
Gu Zheng's enmity with Buddhism was very deep. Now that Cundi wanted Tathagata to go to the Snowfield of Meteoric Ice, Le Xian was more worried about it. After all, Tathagata's strength was definitely in the top two among the Sage-to-be.
"Since Cundi proposed and Jieyin did not object, this is an inevitable tribulation. We can't avoid it," Gokusen transmitted his voice to Le Xian.
"No objections!"
Hearing Gokusen's words, Le Xian also replied to Laozi.
"Since no one has any objections, we'll send Tathagata to deal with it!" Laozi said.
"Senior Brother, Gokusen did not stop this. What do you think?"
Cundi was surprised by Gokusen's reaction. He transmitted his voice to Jieyin.
"Junior Brother, he must have thought of your intention to send Tathagata over," Jieyin transmitted his voice.
"That's why this is so unusual!" Cundi said meaningfully.
Jieyin thought for a while and said, "Anyway, tell Tathagata to be careful. After all, this is a chance to fight for fate!"
Even powerful Holy Immortals could not know everything, especially when the prelude to the Chaos Tribulation had already begun. For example, Empress NvWa could not know that her Taoist Heart had been disturbed in advance. For example, Cundi and Jieyin could not predict that the Buddhism Sect was already in the Facing Tribulation!
Immortal Taiyi soon received the reply that the Holy Immortals wanted to send Tathagata to support the Immortal Camp. His original worries were relieved. However, Immortal Taiyi soon frowned again, because there was a special wave coming from the black hole.
They came to the outside of the black hole again and waited. Judging from the wave coming from the black hole, there should be two batches of demons coming out this time.
Not long after, the first batch of demons came out of the black hole. There were more than 100 demons in this batch, which was different from those seen during the day. Among these demons, there was only one whose strength was equivalent to the Sage-to-be Realm.
Immortal Taiyi and the others were dealing with the demons coming out of the black hole. The dragon-shaped demon that had contacted Fairy Linglong before, together with a demon that looked like a toad, had already sneaked into the Immortal Camp.
The two demons outside the circle had the ability to merge with the night like Fairy Linglong, so they did not alarm anyone when they sneaked into the Immortal Camp.
Like two ghosts, the Dragon Demon and the Toad Demon came to the outside of the Spirit Ascension Hall.
