The top four leaders of Wild Thunder Mountain were Demonic Elephant, Heavenly Rock, Ghost Crane, and Qi Yun. Among these four, Demonic Elephant, Heavenly Rock, and Ghost Crane were equivalent to the late stage of Quasi-Saint, while Qi Yun was equivalent to the middle stage of Quasi-Saint.
While Demonic Elephant and the others were breaking the seal, Gu Zheng had already arrived outside the tallest building and was waiting for them to come out.
"How do you plan to deal with the four Sage-to-be Demons?" The Vessel Spirit's voice sounded.
"I just killed Tathagata not long ago, so I'm not in the mood to slowly compete with them. Therefore, I want to use a thunderous method to end the battle as soon as possible." Gu Zheng said.
"Use the Dao of Death?" The spirit asked.
"Yes, I do plan to use the Dao of Death." Gu Zheng smiled.
The power of the Dao of Death was affected by one's own strength. After Gu Zheng obtained the control of the Seventh Sense, the power of his Dao of Death was enough to kill the middle stage of Quasi-Saint. However, this was not absolute. It would also be affected by the Dao of Death and some factors of the person affected by it! For example, the control of the Dao of Life, the uniqueness of one's body, or whether there was some kind of tool that could affect the Dao of Death. But no matter what, as a person who had mastered the Dao of Death, he could tell at a glance whether a person could be affected by the Dao of Death.
The Dao of Death was one of the Great Daos. Even among the Ten Great Sage Immortals, only Laozi's control of the Dao of Death had reached a high level. Its power could not be said to be weak. However, the power of the Dao that belonged to the Dao of Death was very limited, especially when it was used to kill stronger opponents.
Just like Gu Zheng's Dao of Death, under normal circumstances, killing two middle stage Quasi-Saints was already the limit! However, the situation this time was a little special. Although Ghost Crane's cultivation was equivalent to the late stage of the Sage-to-be, he was a zombie-type monster. The Dao of Death was his nemesis. The amount of Dao Energy needed to kill him was even less than killing a normal Sage-to-be.
Gu Zheng had yet to truly meet Ghost Crane and the other three, and some things were still just speculation. However, if there weren't too many variables, then he would be able to instantly kill both Ghost Crane and Qiyun with his Dao of Death.
When he was in seclusion, he didn't want to be disturbed, so he thought that the stronger the restrictions he set up, the better. However, if something were to happen outside and he wanted to come out, he would find that the time he wasted to undo the restrictions he set up was extremely precious.
Devil Elephant and the others finally broke free from the restriction and came out. Each of them was aggressive and murderous.
Gu Zheng, who was in the Hidden Space state, glanced at the golem and the others and couldn't help but applaud in his heart. Ghost Crane and Qiyun were in the category that the Path of Death could instakill at the same time, just as he had hoped.
"Hmm?"
The Demonic Elephant's powerful perception was once again displayed. Although it couldn't discover Gu Zheng's existence, its keen perception made it feel that the void was a little abnormal.
"Ghost Crane, Qi Yun!"
When Gu Zheng appeared, he called out Ghost Crane and Qi Yun's names.
The Path of Death immediately established a connection with Ghost Crane and Qi Yun. While they widened their eyes, a dense aura of death hovered above their heads.
Too much time had passed in an instant. Gu Zheng's appearance from the void had shocked the Demonic Elephant and the others. His' Dao of Death 'had instantly killed Ghost Crane and Qi Yun. The Demonic Elephant and Heavenly Rock, who were both shocked and furious, had simultaneously launched an attack at him.
The attack on the surface was the golem slashing at Gu Zheng with the demonic weapon in its hand, while Tian Yan pointed at Gu Zheng. A small mountain that looked only the size of a house but had an extremely shocking aura pressed down on Gu Zheng's head. However, the secret attack, the seal of the Intermediate Path of Space, and the invisible attack that made Gu Zheng's heart feel like it was about to explode.
The seal of the Intermediate Path of Space was useless against Gu Zheng. At the same time that the Five Elements Shield was created, his swollen and painful heart also calmed down. Gu Zheng, who had teleported, dodged the slash of the golem's demonic weapon and also dodged the falling mountain.
"Die!"
Appearing not far from Tian Yan, the Five Elements Immortal Lotus was thrown at him by Gu Zheng.
"Bang!"
The Five Colors Immortal Lotus that collided with Tian Yan turned into a five-colored flame that surrounded him. A strange scream immediately came out of Tian Yan's mouth.
"Bang!"
The beam of light shot out from the golem's demonic aura actually ignored Gu Zheng's Five Elements Shield and directly acted on Gu Zheng's body. However, in addition to the Five Elements Shield, Gu Zheng also had the ability to absorb damage. The golem's attack caused zero damage to him.
"You're the only one left!"
Gu Zheng smiled evilly. Ignoring the demonic elephant, he used Tang Mo to slash out the Mad Devil Wild Blade that was attached to the Five Elements Transformation. He directly chopped Tian Yan, who was still struggling under the five-colored flame, into a pile of rubble, accelerating his death.
Cold sweat overflowed the golem's golden hair. He tasted despair that he had never felt before.
Space Concealment, Advanced Path of Space, Intermediate Path of Death, Five Elemental Shield, Five-Colored Immortal Lotus, and Damage Absorption. Within a short period of time since Gu Zheng's appearance, the Divine Abilities he displayed consecutively destroyed the Demonic Elephant's fighting spirit.
The demonic elephant knew that he wasn't a match for Gu Zheng, but Gu Zheng had already planted a 'spatial imprint' on his body. A high level Dao of Space could be used at any time to prevent him from escaping. How could he not feel despair?
No matter how desperate the golem was, Gu Zheng had already appeared behind him through teleportation and slapped his palm towards his back.
"Bang!"
The Devil Elephant's body exploded under Gu Zheng's palm, turning into golden hairs that floated down. The Devil Elephant's body was like a cicada shedding its carapace. Before the golden hairs exploded, the Devil Elephant's body pulled some distance away from Gu Zheng.
The golem waved his hand, and the demonic artifacts that originally belonged to the other three flew into his hand, turning into a harp-like object that flickered with four colors.
The golem plucked the strings crazily. The effect was not only a sound wave attack, but also a flame that was like the Five Elements Transformation shot towards Gu Zheng.
"Too weak!"
The Five-colored Divine Light behind Gu Zheng burst out, and the flame that was flying like an arrow was instantly wiped out.
"Four Elements Transformation!"
The frantic golem finally used the Four Elements Transformation that Gu Zheng wanted to see.
The golem grabbed the four-colored strings and then suddenly loosened them. The four-colored light was like a sharp arrow that was shot out, turning into a huge monster head in the air.
The monster head was like a tiger's head, with dragon's whiskers, eyes like an eagle's, and ears like a lynx's. It opened its huge mouth and bit towards Gu Zheng.
Even though he was separated by the Five Elemental Shield, Gu Zheng could still sense the extraordinary aura of the Four Symbols as One! Indeed, as Han Yue said, the Four Elements Transformation had the ability to kill an ordinary Sage-to-be.
Unfortunately, Gu Zheng was not an ordinary Sage-to-be. The Four Elements Transformation could not even break his Five Elements Shield.
Gu Zheng didn't want to take the Demonic Elephant's life for the time being. He wanted to subdue the Demonic Elephant and then search its soul.
"Ah!"
The golem let out a strange cry. Finally, it could not withstand Gu Zheng's crazy attacks and was knocked unconscious on the ground by Gu Zheng's palm.
The whole Wild Thunder Mountain was in chaos. When Gu Zheng was searching the golem's soul, Han Yue and the others were also killing and plundering according to the plan.
The chaos did not last long. When the leaders of the Wild Thunder Mountain were all dead, the remaining monsters were naturally very easy to deal with.
The people who came with Han Yue had been rescued. They did not know that Buddha had been killed. Among them, the disciples of Zhunti, Jieyin, and Shala did not have a good attitude towards Gu Zheng, as if it was something that Gu Zheng and the others should do. Gu Zheng would not say anything about it. Anyway, he was not at the same level as them.
After destroying the Wild Thunder Mountain, Gu Zheng gained a lot of resources from the outside world. However, most of these resources were not the kind that cultivators could use. After all, this was the outside world, which was different from the Untainted Land! Even so, there were still some things that made Gu Zheng smile. For example, there were more than a dozen boxes of high-level ingredients from the outside world, six immortal ingredients, and two heaven and earth treasures! Other than that, there were also some decent Demon Artifacts. Gu Zheng gave them to Nu Han and the others, but the only flaw was that Gu Zheng did not obtain any of the materials that could be used to repair the Star Ruins Mountain.
The matter of the Wild Thunder Mountain was over, so Gu Zheng did not stay in the outside world. After entering the black hole, he repaired the entrance and then returned to the Immortal Camp.
The extra entrances in the black hole were all repaired, which was a happy event. The Immortal Camp also held a banquet because of this. During the banquet, the most important thing was about the Battlefield of Opportunity.
Most of the people in the Immortal Camp who met the requirements were very interested in the Battlefield of Opportunity. However, they still had a duty. Whether they could go to the Battlefield of Opportunity in the end would be decided by the higher-ups. However, because the extra entrances had been repaired, the Immortal Camp was not so strict with the manpower requirements. Han Yue and Xuan Yue easily applied for a short leave from Perfected Taiyi.
The next morning, Gu Zheng brought Han Yue and Xuan Yue back to the Star Ruins Mountain. This time, Han Yue and Xuan Yue applied for leave because they wanted to go to the Star Ruins Mountain to receive the gift from Gu Zheng and enter the Dao Preaching Palace of the Star Ruins Mountain to receive the preaching of the Dao.
Gu Zheng had left two Dao Preaching Palaces for Han Yue and Xuan Yue. The Dao techniques taught in them were more suitable for them. One was the mid-level Dao of True Water of the Five Elements Dao, and the other was the mid-level Dao of Array Formation.
Leaving his senior brother and sister to comprehend the Dao in the Dao Preaching Palace, Gu Zheng used his mind to call out to Gokusen. As long as Gokusen was not particularly busy, he would definitely reply to him.
Gokusen quickly replied to Gu Zheng. He was very gratified that Gu Zheng had become the number one person below the Saint Immortal Realm.
Gu Zheng and Gokusen's communication this time was very short. Gu Zheng wanted to understand the Battlefield of Opportunity the most. Gokusen told him that in a month's time, the operation of the Celestial Star Array would reach a small cycle. He would have a day of free time. When the time came, he would ask Gu Zheng to meet him at Zhen Xiu Palace. They would talk about the Battlefield of Opportunity face-to-face.
Han Yue and Xuan Yue did not let Gu Zheng down. They successfully comprehended the Dao in the Dao Preaching Palace. After that, they stayed at the Star Ruins Mountain for a day before Gu Zheng sent them back to the Immortal Camp.
After returning from the Fallen Ice Snowfield, Gu Zheng returned to the Star Ruins Mountain and began to repair the Star Ruins Mountain.
The process was similar to the last time he repaired the Star Ruins Mountain. After Gu Zheng transformed the materials needed for the repair into various energy crystals, he quickly completed the repair process.
As expected, the damage to the Star Ruins Mountain had been repaired to 50%. It was only 10% away from being repaired before the Dao Preaching Palace of the Star Ruins Mountain could be used normally. This was a day that Gu Zheng was very much looking forward to! However, the 10% that was still missing required rare resources from outside the circle. Gu Zheng was not sure when he would be able to gather all of them.
The repair of the Star Ruins Mountain last time had deepened Gu Zheng's understanding of the Star Ruins Mountain. He had also discovered the Commander Starlight.
The repair of the Star Ruins Mountain this time had also deepened Gu Zheng's understanding of the Star Ruins Mountain. This made him realize that his previous belief that Star Spirits could not leave the Star Ruins Mountain was a misconception due to his lack of understanding.
He would be meeting Gokusen in a month's time. Gu Zheng planned to cultivate quietly in the space within the statue. After all, it had not been long since the last time he cultivated quietly. Although not much time had passed, too many things had happened during this period of time. There were some things that needed to be calmed down and figured out.
The Great Celestial Stars Formation flickered with a faint light. The Ten Great Saint Immortals with their eyes closed looked as if they were asleep. The ripples in the air continued to spread. This was a sign that the power of the Dao was constantly working.
Finally, the flickering faint light stabilized. The light within the Great Celestial Stars Formation became brighter because of this. The Ten Great Saint Immortals who had their eyes closed all opened them.
"We have one day. Everyone, hurry up and deal with the things that you need to deal with!"
Laozi's voice was still echoing in the air, but he had already disappeared.
The remaining nine Great Saint Immortals quickly disappeared as well. The Great Celestial Stars Formation became empty.
With just a thought, Gokusen had already returned from the Great Celestial Stars Formation to Zhenxiu Palace outside the Thirty-three Heavens. Le Xian also appeared in the palace with him.
"Eh? Where's Gu Zheng? "
Le Xian knew that Gokusen would definitely want to see Gu Zheng during this rare time, so she followed Gokusen over. However, when she appeared in the palace, she did not see Gu Zheng waiting in Zhenxiu Palace.
"When I talked to Gu Zheng last time, I did not tell him the exact time that I would return to Zhenxiu Palace. Therefore, he will come tomorrow morning." Gokusen smiled.
"Senior Brother, is something the matter?"
Le Xian frowned. If Gokusen was not busy, he should have told Gu Zheng the exact time.
Gokusen nodded and then asked, "Junior Sister, what do you think of the Battlefield of Opportunity?"
Le Xian was stunned. She did not expect Gokusen to ask such a question. "Senior Brother, I'm stupid!"
"In other words, the condition for a Saint Immortal disciple to become the strongest person below the Saint Immortal Stage can actually activate the Battlefield of Opportunity in advance. Don't you find it strange that we did not know about this beforehand?"
After hearing Gokusen's words, Le Xian nodded. "It's a little strange, but it's not too strange. After all, there are many big things that we can't know about in advance."
"Senior Brother, is this because Gu Zheng has fulfilled this potential activation condition, so you have to be cautious, or is it because you have a premonition about this matter?"
Le Xian also became cautious. Gokusen's premonition and deduction ability had always been the best among the Saint Immortals. If he really had a premonition about something, this matter was probably not simple.
"A premonition!"
Gokusen paused and then said seriously, "Therefore, I want Junior Sister to lend me a hand!"
"Ah?"
Le Xian's eyes widened. "You need me to lend you a hand? Senior Brother, do you want to use the only deduction ability you have in your life?"
Gokusen did not say anything. He only nodded.
"This is the only deduction ability I have in my life. Senior Brother, don't you plan to use it during this Chaos Tribulation or during the future Chaos Tribulations when it's especially dangerous?" Le Xian asked again.
"Plans can never keep up with changes. I think this is the best time to use the 'joint deduction' opportunity."
After teasing her, Gokusen continued, "When Gu Zheng was weak, the rules I set were very strict. After he became strong, I was very lenient with his teaching. Among my disciples, he's my Tribulation Transcendence disciple, but I've given him the least in certain aspects. Junior Sister has even laughed at me. Is Gu Zheng really my Tribulation Transcendence disciple? I always believed that the way I taught him was correct, but deep in my heart, I also felt that I owed him. Using the only 'joint deduction' I had on him could be considered as a form of compensation for him! "
Le Xian shook her head and smiled. "I used to think that Senior Brother was too strict and too cold to your Tribulation Transcendence disciple, but it turns out that you were right. Not only can this make him more independent, it can also increase his luck! Senior Brother, you have the foresight. I'm afraid the other Saint Immortals still don't understand this. "
"Gu Zheng is a good kid. Since Senior Brother's premonition has arrived at the most suitable time to use the 'joint deduction', Junior Sister will lend Senior Brother a hand!" Le Xian said solemnly.
"Alright!"
Gokusen answered and then began to cast the spell. The air in the hall immediately rippled.
A jade flute appeared in Le Xian's hand. She played it silently, causing ripples to appear in the air as well.
Gokusen and Le Xian's spell both caused ripples to appear in the air. The two ripples of different frequencies seemed to collide and slowly merged together. During this process, Gokusen's body seemed to be swaying back and forth. A shadow appeared beside him, gradually turning from blurry to clear. It was a shadow that looked exactly like Gokusen, but it was wearing different clothes and had a ruthless aura between its eyebrows.
"Roar!"
Gokusen and the shadow opened their mouths and roared at the same time. The two roars of different tones merged into one and shattered the ripples in the air, causing a sudden light to appear in the air. It turned the hall into a world that people couldn't open their eyes at all.
The light only appeared for a moment. When the light returned to normal, Le Xian had already put down the jade flute in her hand. Gokusen, on the other hand, was quickly pinching his fingers. As for the shadow beside him, it had already disappeared without a trace.
In a month in the real world, Gu Zheng had already been meditating in the statue space for three months.
After three months of meditation, Gu Zheng had already reached his peak condition in all aspects. He was about to come out of seclusion to see Gokusen.
Outside the 33 Skies, Zhenxiu Palace.
"Master!"
After seeing Gokusen, Gu Zheng was very shocked. This was because Gokusen's complexion was very bad. He seemed to have suffered internal injuries, and also seemed to be extremely tired.
"It's fine. I'm just too tired from maintaining the Celestial Star Array."
There was only one chance in his life, and Gokusen couldn't do it alone. He needed the help of another Saint Immortal to help him deduce. Apart from being able to peer into the secrets of the heavens, there was also a considerable backlash to the body. In this unavoidable backlash, Gokusen was still considered fine. Le Xian's backlash was even more severe. She had originally wanted to see Gu Zheng, but now she had no choice but to take the time to rest.
"Master, do you want to rest? We'll talk again when you're better!" Gu Zheng said worriedly.
"It's really fine. Disciple, don't worry too much."
Gokusen smiled slightly. "In the past, Master only mentioned the Battlefield of Opportunity to my disciple. I didn't say much about the details. Now that the Battlefield of Opportunity is about to open, Master will also tell you the details."
