Gu Zheng brought Fairy Huan Yin back to the Immortal Camp. Taiyi Zhenren and the rest were very happy that they had killed that huge worm. This could be said to have removed a burden from the Immortal Camp.
When Tathagata saw Gu Zheng, he sneered in his heart. However, no matter how much he wanted to kill Gu Zheng, he was very calm in front of everyone. He only carefully sized up Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng could see a lot of things from Tathagata's gaze. There was hidden hatred, but at the same time, there was also some caution and consideration.
Generally speaking, Tathagata came to the Immortal Camp because of Gu Zheng. After Gu Zheng came out of the wormhole, he also came to the Immortal Camp because of Tathagata. However, their meeting this time was very calm. The two did not say a single word, and only looked at each other.
Although the atmosphere in the Ice Fall Hall seemed relaxed, it couldn't be concealed at all. The enmity between Gu Zheng and the Buddhist Sect, as well as the fact that the two of them didn't even greet each other, made one feel as if they were standing under dark clouds before a storm.
The conversation did not last long. Everyone left the Ice Fall Hall one after another. Fairy Xuanyue looked at Gu Zheng worriedly.
Gu Zheng did not say much, and only smiled at Fairy Xuanyue. He had already said what he needed to say when he returned to the Immortal Camp.
"Gu Zheng, it's time to settle the hatred between you and the Buddhist Sect today! Do you dare to come with me to the Ice Fall Snowfield alone? "
Tathagata's voice suddenly sounded in Gu Zheng's mind.
In Tathagata's heart, Gu Zheng was able to pass the Immortal Slaying Lightning Tribulation and make Kong Xuan return without any success. Even if the divination before coming to the Ice Fall Snowfield was very auspicious, he would still pay enough attention to it.
"This is a battle between you and me. If you want to involve others, then I will defeat you one by one." Seeing that Gu Zheng did not speak, Tathagata transmitted his voice again.
Gu Zheng shrugged at Fairy Xuanyue and Fairy Huan Yin and said, "Senior sisters, I think it's better for you to stay in the camp!"
Gu Zheng told Fairy Xuanyue and Fairy Huan Yin what Tathagata had said. Although he looked helpless on the surface, in his heart, he was very much in favor of Tathagata's suggestion. After all, Gu Zheng did not have absolute confidence in defeating an opponent like Tathagata. He did not want Fairy Xuanyue and Fairy Huan Yin to risk their lives with him! In his opinion, as long as he could deal with Tathagata, he could do it even without Fairy Xuanyue and Fairy Huan Yin. If he couldn't deal with Tathagata, then even if Fairy Huan Yin and Fairy Xuanyue went together, it would be useless. After all, it was no secret that Tathagata had a Spatial Treasure Bottle that could store people.
"No! We don't have to participate in the battle, but we have to pay attention to it. Otherwise, what if you try to cheat us? "
Fairy Xuanyue's voice was not only directed to Gu Zheng, but also to Tathagata.
"You can watch the battle, but if you break the rules, I can guarantee that both of you will die. This is only a battle between me and Gu Zheng!" Tathagata said to the three of them.
"Sure!"
Fairy Xuanyue and Fairy Huan Yin replied at the same time.
Seeing the determination in their eyes, Gu Zheng did not say anything else. He led the way and flew towards the Fallen Ice Snowfield. Tathagata also left the camp.
"What a rare battle!"
Looking at the two sides leaving the camp, Taiyi Zhenren muttered to himself.
"It's a pity that this kind of thing is not suitable for spying. Otherwise, it will only bring trouble to ourselves," Divine Mother Wudang said regretfully.
It was a rare sunny day in the Fallen Ice Snowfield. The sun shone brightly in the clear blue sky, making the pure white world particularly glaring.
Gu Zheng and Tathagata looked at each other from afar, while Fairy Xuanyue and Fairy Huan Yin stood in the void far away.
"I have to say, your rise is really too fast. I think not only is it beyond my imagination, but even the Sage Immortals did not expect it," Tathagata said as he looked at Gu Zheng.
"I didn't expect it either."
Gu Zheng shrugged and smiled. Everything that had happened in the past few years was like a dream. Unknowingly, he had already reached the stage where he had to fight with Tathagata.
"It's not a good thing to rise too fast. It will make people feel threatened. Therefore, you are about to fall," Tathagata said as he shook his head.
"You're so confident that you can kill me?" Gu Zheng laughed.
"You're so confident that you won't die?"
Tathagata also laughed, and there was a hint of mockery in his laughter. "You've offended the Sage Immortals so many times. I was also very curious about what gave you such courage. Later on, I figured out that the reason you dared to do so was probably because you've seen the Heavenly Dao. In a sense, you're a person recognized by the Heavenly Dao. That's why you have such great fortune! Indeed, if you're a person recognized by the Heavenly Dao, the Sage Immortals can't do anything too excessive to you. But I'm different. We're both Sage-to-be. Even if you die in my hands, it's nothing. Moreover, if a person recognized by the Heavenly Dao is killed, the person who kills you will also receive your fortune! "
Gu Zheng frowned slightly, and a hint of mockery appeared at the corner of his mouth. "You're too full of yourself!"
Tang Mo had already appeared in his hand, and Gu Zheng was in a battle stance.
"Whether I'm full of myself or not, you'll know soon enough!"
As soon as Tathagata's voice fell, the surging energy of heaven and earth instantly gathered, forming a huge palm that pressed down on Gu Zheng. This was the genuine Tathagata's Divine Palm. Tathagata had previously used this ability to deal with the dragon-shaped demon.
The violent energy of heaven and earth was also manipulated by Gu Zheng. It turned into the Mad Demon Blade and slashed down on the palm.
The blade light and the palm collided, and a loud sound immediately rang out in the air. The Mad Demon Blade only left a deep wound on the Tathagata's Divine Palm, and the Tathagata's Divine Palm continued to press down on Gu Zheng.
This was a competition of pure immortal power and the manipulation of heaven and earth's energy. There was no dao power mixed in, and it was undeniable that Gu Zheng was weaker than Tathagata in these two aspects.
"Boom!"
Another loud sound rang out. Gu Zheng slashed the Mad Demon Blade a second time, and the huge Tathagata's Divine Palm disintegrated in the air.
Although Gu Zheng had dispelled the Tathagata's Divine Palm with two slashes, Tathagata was not happy. On the contrary, he frowned.
When Gu Zheng slashed out the second time with the Mad Demon Frenzied Blade, Tathagata had used Blink to attack Gu Zheng, but the situation of hitting a wall happened to him. This was the real reason why he was frowning!
"You actually mastered the high-level Dao of Space, and the strength of your dao power is not inferior to mine!"
Although he appeared to be frowning, Tathagata's heart was filled with shock. It was one thing for Gu Zheng to grasp a high level Dao of Space, but his strength of the Dao was actually this strong. This was something he hadn't expected. If he hadn't personally experienced it, he wouldn't have believed it!
Although they were both high-level Dao of Space, there was naturally a difference in dao power. However, the power of the Dao was not like immortal power. Immortal power could be improved through hard work, but the improvement of the power of the Dao required a deeper understanding of the Dao.
As the current Buddha of Buddhism, Tathagata was naturally very confident. He did have the right to be confident. He did not think that there was anyone below the Sage who knew more about the Dao of Space than he did. Because of this, he knew very well that to reach his level of understanding of the Dao of Space, one would need a lot of opportunities and comprehension. However, even if Gu Zheng had a lot of luck, he had not been on the path of cultivation for many years. What incredible opportunities and comprehension did he have to reach his current level?
"I can't help but want to laugh to make you so shocked!" Gu Zheng really laughed.
The Dao of Space was the Supreme Great Way. If Gu Zheng's dao power was not as strong as Tathagata's, then it would be a very terrifying thing. This could be seen in the battle where Tathagata used the Dao of Space to crush Venerable Blood Shadow.
Gu Zheng knew that Tathagata had mastered the high-level Dao of Space, but he did not know how strong Tathagata's dao power was. He could not help but worry about it. Now, he did not need Tathagata to be stronger than him in the Dao of Space. How could he not be happy?
Tathagata shook his head and said, "Do you have to laugh as if victory is in your hands? Even though your Dao of Space isn't inferior to mine, it isn't superior to mine either. I can naturally disregard the negative effects caused by it! "Tathagata shook his head.
Gu Zheng and Tathagata's dao power were indeed on par. The result of this situation was that if Tathagata wanted to use space-shuttling magic, such as teleportation or shooting stars to catch up with the moon, Gu Zheng could seal it. On the other hand, if Gu Zheng wanted to use such magic, Tathagata could also seal it.
"Although the strength of our dao power is very similar, you will definitely be at a disadvantage in the Dao of Space! After all, the strength of Taoism is not only dependent on strength, but also the level of magic! "
Gu Zheng's smile looked very strange in Tathagata's eyes. Just as Tathagata was confused, a special spatial power instantly acted on the spatial Buddhist device in his body.
"Spatial Theft!"
Tathagata exclaimed. He did not expect Gu Zheng to have such an abnormal spatial magic. Even the Ten Great Saint Immortals did not have this kind of spatial magic! He could only do his best to resist the power of the dao that was being stolen by Spatial Theft.
However, resisting could only reduce the loss. Tathagata's situation was the same as when Gu Zheng was stolen by the Mud Spirit Space.
"Hundred Treasures Magical Umbrella, Spatial Vase, Eighth Grade Rainbow Lotus, Green Vine Enchanted Knot, Heaven and Earth Alms Bowl, Sky River Sanskrit Conch, Four Symbols Treasured Wheel, Buddha Aura Sword, Yin Yang Magic Subduing Awl, Fusang Staff, and Three Realms Wooden Fish! Tsk, tsk, tsk. Tathagata, you really have a lot of good things! "
Gu Zheng sighed sincerely, without the slightest hint of mockery. The Buddhist devices that he named were all Buddhist devices that had passed the first Chaos Tribulation and received the blessings of heaven and earth! If these Buddhist devices were left in Tathagata's hands, it was hard to say how much power they could unleash. Moreover, in addition to stealing Tathagata's Buddhist devices, Gu Zheng also stole three boxes from Tathagata's Spatial Buddhist device. The things inside were all very precious! And in Tathagata's Spatial Buddhist device, Gu Zheng really saw what it meant to be piled up like a mountain! If the storage of his Chaos Space was compared to Tathagata's, it would be like a Magus meeting a Grand Wizard.
Tathagata's face turned green. The contempt he had for Gu Zheng in the depths of his heart had disappeared. Gu Zheng's spatial magic had really made him suffer a great loss this time. Among the Buddhist devices that he had lost, the Spatial Vase was a Buddhist device that could store people. It hid 200 Buddhist Arhats and several Bodhisattvas. This was his trump card in a last resort! However, this trump card had now fallen into Gu Zheng's hands.
"These are not all of my Buddhist devices. If you have the ability, try using Spatial Theft again!" Tathagata sneered.
"Wouldn't I lose face if I tried just because you asked me to?" Gu Zheng rolled his eyes.
"It's not about losing face. It's just that you can't use Spatial Theft again, right?" Tathagata sneered.
"Haha."
Although Gu Zheng's smile was very playful, Tathagata had guessed right! His Power of the Way had almost been completely exhausted in the previous Space Steal. The remaining Power of the Way was not enough for him to launch a second Space Steal on Tathagata.
Although Spatial Theft was a very powerful Divine Ability, the number of times it could be used depended on the environment of the stolen object and the resistance of the stolen object. Tathagata's cultivation was at the peak of Sage-to-be. Stealing the objects in his Spatial Fairy Device consumed more Power of Tao than stealing from ordinary people. And Tathagata, who had also mastered the Way of Space, resisted Spatial Theft, which also consumed a lot of Gu Zheng's Power of Tao.
However, Immortal Divine Abilities were not ordinary Power of Tao Divine Abilities. The Power of Tao it consumed was exclusive to Gu Zheng, so it did not affect the use of other Divine Abilities. Moreover, it was not only the Way of Space that was like this. It was the same for other Dao techniques.
"Smile as much as you can. Anyway, you won't be able to smile soon!"
Tathagata waved his Buddhist robe and suddenly became like the sun. Strong rays of light burst out from his body, so much so that Gu Zheng could not help but close his eyes. Moreover, this Divine Ability, the Buddha's Light Illumination, was not as simple as making others unable to open their eyes. It belonged to the category of the Extreme Yang Dao. It was a Divine Ability under the effects of the Energy of the Dao, and it possessed an extremely strong purification ability.
Yin and Yang must contain the Five Elements, and the Five Elements must combine Yin and Yang! In the face of Tathagata's Buddha's Illumination, the Five-colored Divine Light burst out from Gu Zheng's back. The omnipresent Buddha's Light disappeared without a trace, and his vision returned to normal.
"Five-colored Divine Light!"
Tathagata exclaimed. The Divine Ability that Gu Zheng had mastered had once again exceeded his imagination.
As an Immortal Divine Ability of the Five Elements Dao, the Five-colored Divine Light that belonged to Kong Xuan had envied countless people, including Tathagata.
"Damn Kong Xuan!"
Tathagata could not help but curse Kong Xuan.
Although Kong Xuan served Buddhism and was regarded as the Buddha Mother by Tathagata, Kong Xuan did not have any sense of belonging to Buddhism. He even hated Tathagata, and Tathagata knew this very well.
During Gu Zheng's trip to the Poisonous Swamp, Tathagata had asked Kong Xuan to kill Gu Zheng. After Kong Xuan returned to Spirit Mountain, he did not tell Tathagata the details. He only told Tathagata that he had tried his best against Gu Zheng, but had been defeated by Gu Zheng.
"You didn't lose. You imparted the Dao to him!"
Tathagata gritted his teeth in hatred. He knew that the reason why there was no second Five-colored Divine Light in the world was because Kong Xuan's Five-colored Divine Light was comprehended under the enlightenment of Dao Ancestor Hongjun. It was the Natal Divine Ability of the first peacock in the world! Unless Kong Xuan himself played the role of teaching the Way in this matter, others would not be able to comprehend this kind of Divine Ability. This was also a part of the law.
Tathagata had kept Kong Xuan to serve Buddhism, so he naturally had the idea of getting his hands on Kong Xuan's Five-colored Divine Light. However, he had not been able to influence Kong Xuan for thousands of years. He did not even get a chance to exchange the Five-colored Divine Light with him! However, the Divine Ability that he had always dreamed of was now beautifully displayed by Gu Zheng. How could he not hate Kong Xuan? How could he not be jealous of Gu Zheng, the thief!
Stimulated by the Five-colored Divine Light, Tathagata was like a madman. He began to launch a storm of attacks on Gu Zheng.
The reason why Tathagata was said to be a madman was because when he launched his attacks on Gu Zheng, he had completely lost his usual scruples. In the process of fighting, the space of the Fallen Ice Snowfield, which was originally very solid, had collapsed into a black hole.
In the eyes of mortals, there was one thing that they couldn't understand. That was why the cultivators, who had the ability to move mountains and seas and shatter the void, couldn't even destroy the environment they were in with their destructive power when they fought with each other!
First of all, when a cultivator's strength reached a certain level, his ability to control all kinds of Divine Abilities would also reach a level that mortals could not understand. They would basically not cause unnecessary damage to the environment they were in. It was just like waving one's sleeves. A mortal's action would create a gust of wind that would blow one's hair, but a cultivator could easily create a cool breeze that would blow one's face instead of blowing one's hair.
Secondly, every plane had the power of laws. Excessive destruction of the plane would result in punishment from the power of laws, and there would be different degrees of consequences. If it was in a low-level plane like Earth, where the power of laws was relatively weak, the cultivators might be able to ignore its punishment. However, in a high-level plane like the Untainted Land, if the destruction of the environment reached a level that was not allowed by the Way of Heaven, even powerful figures like Gu Zheng and Tathagata would not be able to bear it. When the time came, they would have to face the punishment of Heaven! Moreover, this was only what was on the surface. What could not be seen in the dark was the karma caused by it. This was also something that cultivators were more afraid of. But in other words, if Tathagata's current craziness was in a low-level plane like Earth, the effect would really be destruction!
Although he seemed to be crazy, Tathagata still had a sense of propriety. He would not break through the threshold that was not allowed by the Way of Heaven. Moreover, the collapse of space was not completely useless. It was also a tactic. If Gu Zheng showed any flaws under the influence of the black hole, then he would not hesitate to give Gu Zheng a fierce blow.
The battle between Tathagata and Gu Zheng was very fierce. All kinds of Taoist skills were also endless. This process lasted for about the time it took to drink a cup of tea. Accompanied by a loud noise caused by the collision of Taoist skills, the distance between the two was once again increased.
The two separated people did not speak. They just looked at each other quietly.
