Thinking of Die Ling and Meow Meow, the artifact spirit became stubborn.
"Come on, I don't want to be too far behind them!" the artifact spirit said seriously.
Gu Zheng nodded. "As long as you succeed, the gap will be made up with time, because you will have more potential than them!"
With a thought, the Boundless Forest Tree appeared in Gu Zheng's hand, and he threw it to the ground.
A spectacular scene appeared. As soon as the Boundless Forest Tree touched the ground, the entire valley turned into a forest. However, the forest that the Boundless Forest Tree had turned into did not cover the entire valley. It left behind eight seemingly empty rings.
The rings were actually eight high-level elemental gathering arrays. Creating a body for the artifact spirit required a large amount of Celestial Core Power, and this was part of the plan. For this reason, on the first day Gu Zheng entered the Third Battlefield, his clone had already set up eight high-grade Origin Gathering Formations in the valley while he was comprehending the Five Extreme Qi.
The Celestial Core Power in the third battlefield was several times denser than in the Elemental Wilderness. In five days, the eight high-level elemental gathering arrays had condensed a lot of Celestial Core Power. The Boundless Forest Tree also had the ability to quickly condense Celestial Core Power, and it condensed Celestial Core Power faster than the eight elemental gathering arrays. Now that Gu Zheng had released it, besides condensing Celestial Core Power, the Boundless Forest Tree could also protect him if he encountered something that wanted to destroy him.
When Gu Zheng created a body for the artifact spirit, dark clouds began to gather in the sky. The scene was something that Gu Zheng had not expected.
Gu Zheng had let the artifact spirit make the decision because he was worried that there would be a change in the difficulty of creating a body for the artifact spirit, which would lead to undesirable consequences. As for the problem of the Heavenly Tribulation, it was completely unexpected. After all, in his previous tests, if something like the Heavenly Tribulation really appeared, he would have sensed it. Moreover, this was the battlefield of opportunity. The laws here were different from the Elemental Wilderness, so there was no bottleneck to raise one's cultivation level. Similarly, there was no Heavenly Tribulation. Therefore, the current situation was completely beyond Gu Zheng's imagination.
"Linlin!"
Gu Zheng called out the artifact spirit's name. After all, probing was different from reality. Gu Zheng couldn't help but worry. If things went according to plan, would the artifact spirit be able to withstand the heavenly tribulation when its body reached the Large Success stage? After all, the creation had only just begun, and the tribulation clouds had already appeared. As the process continued, the tribulation clouds would become thicker and thicker, and the tribulation lightning brewing within would become more and more powerful.
"There's no turning back! If you give up now, not only will I suffer a backlash, my body will also become ordinary! If I had to stay by your side with an ordinary body, I'd rather not come out from the garden! "
The Artifact Spirit smiled at Gu Zheng, but her eyes were resolute. "Don't be afraid. If I turn into ashes because of this, I'll accept it! But if you want me to be ordinary, I won't admit it! "
Indeed, it was as the artifact spirit had said. Once the high-level Dao of Life was activated, there was no turning back. If the arrow were to turn back, the artifact spirit would be reduced to a commonplace existence in the future! And the look in her eyes made Gu Zheng understand that if Gu Zheng insisted on giving up, she would never stay by his side in the future.
"Gu Zheng, help me. Let me stay by your side without regrets!" Seeing Gu Zheng hesitate, the artifact spirit beseeched.
"Come!"
Gu Zheng decided to throw caution to the wind. His worry gave birth to a fierce determination! Heavenly tribulation could represent destruction, but it could also represent sublimation. In order for the artifact spirit to stay by his side without regrets, he decided to do something before the artifact spirit's body reached the Large Success stage. He hoped that this matter would have a positive impact on the artifact spirit's tribulation.
The spiritual energy and energy of the five extremes outside the 33 Heavens had been poured into the artifact spirit's body by Gu Zheng. Several different colors of spiritual energy followed the control of Gu Zheng's Dao of Life, slowly solidifying this unprecedented body.
Using several special kinds of spiritual energy to create a body for the artifact spirit, Gu Zheng actually had a very bold idea. He wanted to use the energy of the five extremes to create a life source of five elements similar to the Five Elements Immortal Ball for the artifact spirit. He wanted to use the chaotic spiritual energy outside the 33 Heavens to create an immortal power ball similar to his Yin Yang Immortal Ball for the artifact spirit. If everything went according to plan, the artifact spirit with the characteristics of a spirit body, as well as the Five Elements Immortal Ball and the Yin Yang Immortal Ball, her growth potential was absolutely immeasurable!
As time went on, the artifact spirit would have bones, meridians, flesh, and organs. She would be a real person. To be able to achieve this step seemed simple, but only Gu Zheng himself knew the difficulties involved! After all, this was not simply creating a person. She was creating a brand-new body while retaining the characteristics of the artifact spirit's body. Creating such a body was many times more difficult than creating a pure body. However, at this stage, it was only the initial stage. The artifact spirit did not have an immortal power ball in her body. She could not even be considered an immortal cultivator.
The wind was still raging above the forest, and the clouds in the sky were slowly thickening. What Gu Zheng wanted to do next was to condense the immortal power ball and the life source of five elements for the artifact spirit.
Condensing the immortal power ball and the life source of five elements was not something that could be done at the same time. Gu Zheng had to first make the artifact spirit's immortal power ball. With the immortal power ball as the foundation, he could then condense the life source of five elements for the artifact spirit.
Under Gu Zheng's control, a bit of immortal power appeared in the artifact spirit's body. This bit of immortal power became bigger and bigger as it rotated. Finally, it broke through a limit and exploded in an instant.
Gu Zheng's heartbeat sped up. The explosion of the artifact spirit's immortal power was a qualitative change. This was an important step for her to become an immortal cultivator and condense the immortal power ball. This explosion was not destruction, but it represented destruction and establishment!
Destruction and establishment was a very critical moment. It was related to whether the artifact spirit's immortal power ball would be as outstanding as Gu Zheng's in the future! At this special moment, Gu Zheng added the spiritual energy outside the 33 Heavens to the artifact spirit's destruction and establishment. The reason why he added the spiritual energy outside the 33 Heavens to the artifact spirit's immortal power ball at this time was because the spiritual energy outside the 33 Heavens was chaotic spiritual energy. It was full of very pure yin and yang energy. It was most likely to make the artifact spirit's immortal power ball become a yin and yang immortal power ball like Gu Zheng's!
Even without Gu Zheng's reminder, the artifact spirit was working hard at this time to follow Gu Zheng's instructions. She mobilized the spiritual energy outside the 33 Heavens and tried to integrate it with the immortal power ball that was about to be reformed.
The invisible danger was in the artifact spirit's dantian. If something unexpected happened at this step, the artifact spirit's dantian might be ruined. In the future, she could only walk the path of a spirit body and could not be a cultivator.
"Okay!"
Gu Zheng secretly said. Although the spiritual energy outside the 33 Heavens and the immortal power ball of the artifact spirit's destruction and establishment were difficult to integrate, under the control of his Dao of Life and the cooperation of the artifact spirit, everything was changing according to his expectations.
Finally, the artifact spirit's immortal power ball was successfully condensed. It was also black and white and looked very similar to Gu Zheng's! At this moment, the artifact spirit became a cultivator. She had the yin and yang immortal ball in her body, which was equivalent to the early stage of Qi Transformation!
"Rumble …"
The moment the artifact spirit's yin and yang immortal ball was formed, thunder rumbled in the clouds.
Gu Zheng's heart tightened. When he had really started to create a physical body for the artifact spirit, the vision had already made him realize the difference between testing and reality. If he could successfully create the yin and yang immortal balls for the artifact spirit and the five elements immortal balls, the artifact spirit would most likely have to face the test of heavenly tribulation! Now that the yin and yang immortal balls were formed, the thunder in the sky was indeed the sound of tribulation lightning brewing. Gu Zheng could only hope that the lightning tribulation wouldn't be too crazy when the time came.
The yin and yang immortal balls were formed, and Gu Zheng's Dao of Life began to increase its power. An extremely shocking scene followed. All the pores on the artifact spirit's body opened, and a tornado like the one that appeared after consuming food cultivation appeared above her head!
The reason why Gu Zheng's high-level Dao of Life was more powerful than Empress Wa's was that he could create cultivators, cultivators with extraordinary strength! During the creation process, he could control the immortal power to enter the body of the creator, and he could also control the body of the creator, making it absorb the energy of heaven and earth to achieve the same effect as when consuming food cultivation.
The immortal power gathered in the artifact spirit's yin and yang immortal balls, and the artifact spirit's yin and yang immortal balls also became bigger and bigger.
Middle-stage of Qi Transformation.
Late-stage of Qi Transformation.
Peak of Qi Transformation.
Early-stage of Soul Formation.
Late-stage of Soul Formation.
Peak of Soul Formation.
Late-stage of Void Return.
Middle-stage of Jin Xian.
This was a crazy absorption of immortal power, and the tornado above the artifact spirit's head didn't disappear.
Gu Zheng's high-level Dao of Life continued to control it, and the artifact spirit's yin and yang immortal balls didn't reject the immortal power sucked in by the tornado. Because there was no bottleneck, under the continuous effect of the power of Dao, her cultivation level rapidly increased under the crazy absorption of immortal power! In this battlefield of opportunity where immortal power was several times denser than in the wilderness, and with the support of the eight immortal power gathering formations and the Boundless Forest Tree, the artifact spirit's cultivation level rose from the early-stage of Qi Transformation to the mid-stage of Jin Xian in just an hour.
The rapid increase in cultivation level was something to be excited about, but accompanying the excitement was also a strong sense of worry! Every time the artifact spirit's cultivation level rose, there would be a muffled thunder in the clouds. The clouds were very thick now, but Gu Zheng didn't have time to think about how terrifying the heavenly tribulation would be in the future.
Finally, Gu Zheng's Dao of Life could raise the artifact spirit's cultivation level to the limit. When the tornado above her head disappeared, her cultivation level reached the late-stage of Jin Xian.
"Rumble …"
Thunder rumbled in the clouds as usual, but now was not the time for the tribulation thunder to descend, because when Gu Zheng used the Dao of Life to create a body for the artifact spirit, everything followed the routine of the immortal power ball and the origin of the five elements. Although the immortal power ball in the artifact spirit's body had been formed, the origin of the five elements had not yet appeared, and Gu Zheng's Dao of Life had not stopped. Naturally, the heavenly tribulation would not descend at this time.
Gu Zheng didn't dare to pause for a moment, and immediately began to create the origin of the five elements for the artifact spirit.
When creating the physical body for the artifact spirit, all the five elements had been used. Now, under the control of Gu Zheng's high-level Dao of Life, five kinds of multicolored light appeared in the artifact spirit's dantian.
As expected, Gu Zheng controlled the five kinds of multicolored light to form the core, and the artifact spirit also tried her best to cooperate with Gu Zheng during this process.
"Rumble!"
"Rumble!"
"Rumble!"
After five muffled thunders in the clouds, five pearls of different colors were formed in the artifact spirit's dantian.
However, five pearls were not the result Gu Zheng wanted. Under the control of his Dao of Life, the five pearls exploded in the artifact spirit's dantian, and they began to break the origin of the Five Elements Immortal Ball!
"Rumble!"
Accompanied by another thunder, the original five pearls broke and then reformed, fusing into one to form the Five Elements Immortal Ball!
Finally, it was done. Gu Zheng's high-level Dao of Life had been pushed to the limit at this moment, and he was about to do what he had secretly decided to do.
With a thought, as if he was shivering, Gu Zheng injected something invisible and intangible into the artifact spirit's body.
"What are you doing?" the artifact spirit exclaimed.
The thing that Gu Zheng injected into the artifact spirit's body was Gu Zheng's fate. He injected all the fate that he could use into the artifact spirit's body, and this fate accounted for half of his total fate.
Originally, Gu Zheng was unable to sense his providence, nor was he able to control it. However, during the battle with Tathagata, Tathagata had used the divine power of the Void Mirror in an attempt to suck away his providence! Although Tathagata didn't succeed in the end, Gu Zheng was able to sense his own providence from then on. He was also able to control it!
Gu Zheng didn't know what it meant to control fate, but he thought that his fate had always been good. If he injected it into the artifact spirit's body, it could make the artifact spirit's fate better. Perhaps the artifact spirit would be able to survive this calamity.
"You …"
Looking at the smiling Gu Zheng, the artifact spirit was so angry that tears flowed down her face.
Her body had been created perfectly, but in the end, everything was in vain. The thickness of the tribulation clouds in the sky made the artifact spirit understand that this unprecedented tribulation thunder was probably more powerful than the Immortal Annihilation Thunder Tribulation that Gu Zheng had passed! Even if her body was perfect, no matter how unique it was, with Jin Xian's late stage cultivation, it was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot! She was already thinking about how to comfort Gu Zheng and how to say goodbye to Gu Zheng, but she didn't expect that Gu Zheng would inject half of his fate into her body.
"Rumble …"
The thunder in the tribulation clouds was unprecedentedly loud, indicating that the artifact spirit's first heavenly tribulation was about to arrive.
"Are you stupid!? That's your destiny, not mine. What's the point of injecting your destiny into my body? It doesn't matter if I die, but if you lose half of your fate, what will you do in the future? I'm going to die from anger! "the artifact spirit cried.
"What's the use of half of my fate? If I don't do anything while watching you die, then I wouldn't be me! "Gu Zheng laughed loudly.
"You're still laughing? You're laughing like a fool! Isn't it better to keep your fate than to waste it at this time? Even if I die, as long as you have enough strength, it won't be difficult for you to resurrect me! "
The artifact spirit threw herself at Gu Zheng and bit him.
"That seems to be the case! Ouch, you really bit me! "
Gu Zheng didn't resist the artifact spirit's bite. He wanted to let the artifact spirit vent her anger, but he didn't expect that the artifact spirit would really bite him. His arm was bleeding from the bite.
"I'll bite you to death, stupid …"
Before the artifact spirit finished speaking, Gu Zheng's eyes widened at this moment. An unusual feeling was felt by both of them at the same time.
Gu Zheng felt that a mysterious connection was being established between him and the artifact spirit.
The artifact spirit felt that Gu Zheng's fate, which was originally in her body like trash, suddenly came to life when Gu Zheng's blood entered her mouth! Moreover, it wasn't only Gu Zheng's fate that came to life, but also the power of Gu Zheng's Dao of Life, which had disappeared, also appeared in a state of crazy growth in her body!
"This …"
Gu Zheng and the artifact spirit both widened their eyes. They didn't understand what was going on, but they undoubtedly did something that could change their fate under some kind of coincidence.
Seven-colored rays of light shot out from Gu Zheng and the artifact spirit's body, turning into multicolored light that surrounded the two of them. Enlightenment poured into their minds like a tide. The tribulation clouds in the sky also changed at this time. Countless lightning bolts were running around chaotically, causing the originally dark sky to become bright because of this.
"Bang!"
A loud sound came from the tribulation cloud. The tribulation cloud that was about to destroy the artifact spirit actually exploded.
After the explosion, the tribulation cloud turned into a rain of fire that fell towards Gu Zheng and the artifact spirit.
"This …"
Shock once again appeared in Gu Zheng's heart. The fact that the tribulation cloud exploded and the original heavenly tribulation disappeared was already very inconceivable, but who would have thought that something even more inconceivable would follow closely behind? The rain of fire that fell towards the two of them was actually a blessing of heaven and earth that had never been heard of before!
Gu Zheng put away the Boundless Forest Tree and let the blessing of heaven and earth fall directly.
Enjoying the crazy growth of immortal power due to the blessing of heaven and earth, Gu Zheng only wanted to understand what was going on.
In Gu Zheng's view, the reason for these abnormalities was that the problem lay in fate.
Gu Zheng didn't know much about fate. Other than knowing that it was closely related to a person, he also knew that it could affect the overall fate of a sect when it was established.
Fate was originally something that couldn't be seen or touched. There were some divine arts and evil arts that could allow one to obtain another's fate, but only after comprehending Gu Zheng did he realize that fate could be snatched away, but it couldn't be given out on its own! This was something that no one could do, and the reason Gu Zheng had such abnormalities was completely because Tathagata had used the divine ability "Mirror of Emptiness" on him.
In truth, even if Gu Zheng was able to give his Karmic Luck to others, there wouldn't be any problems. However, he had given his Karmic Luck to the Item Spirit. In a fit of anger, the Item Spirit had bitten him, causing his blood to fuse with his Karmic Luck in his new body.
If it was just Gu Zheng's fate and blood in someone else's body, there wouldn't be a problem, because they wouldn't fuse at all! But the artifact spirit was different. Her body was created by Gu Zheng through the Dao of Life. Her body contained the Five Elements Immortal Ball and the Yin-Yang Immortal Ball, and she was inextricably linked to Gu Zheng.
Coincidentally and uniquely, Gu Zheng and the artifact spirit established a mysterious connection that had never been heard of before. It was called "Undying Indestructible". In other words, as long as Gu Zheng, the person who gave the artifact spirit his fate, didn't die, the artifact spirit wouldn't die either, even if she had to face a powerful heavenly tribulation!
The unprecedented "Undying Indestructible" appeared, and the heavenly tribulation became a blessing of heaven and earth. The connection between Gu Zheng and the artifact spirit deepened again with this blessing of heaven and earth. He and the artifact spirit not only had a "Undying Indestructible" connection, but also a "Blessing and Misfortune" connection!
