Zhou Yang also did not expect that he and Zhu Zi would really meet again, but it would be on such an occasion.
When he found out that Zhu Zizhen was attacking the cave from outside, in order to prevent the formation outside from being completely destroyed by him, he had to go out to stop the opponent and let him enter the cave.
"Please forgive Zhou for being presumptuous, but I don't know how Senior Zhu found this place?"
After inviting Zhu Zizhen into the cave, Zhou Yang, as a landlord, inquired about his purpose.
He couldn't help but be curious about this. This underground magma sea was extremely vast. If Zhu Zi really came here by chance, he would not believe it.
However, after Zhu Zizhen heard what he said, he did not answer immediately. Instead, he looked at him with the same surprise and asked: "I am also very curious, how did Zhou Daoyou appear here? And it seems like
It was a tough battle!”
Zhu Zi really remembered that the last time he and Zhou Yang separated in the world of immortal cultivation in Donghua Continent, Zhou Yang had only cultivated at the eighth level of the Golden Core.
Now, it has only been two hundred years since the two separated. Zhou Yang has not only successfully conceived a baby, but it seems that he has been conceived for a long time. He has now reached the second level of Nascent Soul.
Such a speed of cultivation is extremely rare among human monks.
If only that was it.
But what makes Zhu Zi really strange is how Zhou Yang could appear in the magma sea deep underground in this wild jungle, and also occupy this extraordinary cave at first sight.
She has also seen the formations outside the cave here. Although it does not pose much threat to her, it is extremely difficult for ordinary Yuanying monks to pass through.
What's more, she saw that Zhou Yang's breath was weak and his injuries were not healed. It was obvious that he had experienced an extremely intense life-and-death battle before.
The thing that puzzled her the most was that she clearly found this place through the sensed Suzaku's aura, but now she couldn't find any traces or aura left by Suzaku here. This was too abnormal.
Too many doubts lingered in her heart, making Zhu Zi really feel uncomfortable.
She knew that if anyone could help her resolve these doubts and make herself comfortable, it would definitely be Zhou Yang.
As for whether Zhou Yang would answer her questions, she wasn't worried at all. She had been very kind to Zhou Yang.
Sure enough, Zhou Yang, who was asked a question by her, did not show any displeasure on his face. Instead, he quickly nodded in response to her and said: "There is nothing to say to others about this matter. Since Senior Zhu wants to know, then just listen."
Juniors will just come one by one."
He immediately told Zhao Yuanpu everything about how he agreed to Zhao Yuanpu's invitation, how he came here with him, killed the [Poisonous Fire Crocodile Shark] beast, destroyed the palace-protecting formation, and fought against the "Fire Charm".
It's just that what he talked about was only the general results of the process, and he didn't explain some details.
In particular, the matter of Suzaku's aura that Zhu Zizhen wanted to know most was not mentioned.
Even so, Zhu Zizhen was extremely surprised by all the things he said.
"I still remember that when I parted ways with fellow Taoist Zhou in the world of immortal cultivation in Donghua Continent, my Taoist friend was only at the eighth level of the Golden Core. I didn't expect that [Fire Charm], which even the late Nascent Soul cultivators could do nothing about, had fallen into the Taoist realm.
Under the guidance of my friend, Taoist friend, you have achieved such achievements in such a short period of time, it is really unbelievable!”
When she said it was unbelievable, she meant it literally. In other words, she suspected Zhou Yang was bragging.
Faced with her doubts, Zhou Yang was not angry. He just smiled modestly and said: "Everything is just a fluke. Compared with the truly great magical powers like the seniors, the meager means of the juniors are nothing."
Zhu Zi really didn't know about all the big things he had done before, and doubted that his abilities were normal. There was no need for him to explain anything specifically.
His attitude actually made Zhu Zi really a little confused.
I saw a flash of surprise in his eyes. After looking at him for a while, he suddenly said: "Didn't Fellow Daoist Zhou just ask me why I came here? In fact, it's nothing. When I understood the law in this underground magma sea a month ago,
Suddenly I felt the breath of the Suzaku coming from the same origin emanating from this place, and then I followed this breath to find this place, and unexpectedly I saw Fellow Daoist Zhou here."
After speaking, she looked at Zhou Yang with bright eyes and continued without blinking: "Since Fellow Daoist Zhou was here a month ago, do you know about this?"
really!
Brother Zhou sighed secretly in his heart, but he had already guessed the reason.
He looked at Zhu Zizhen, his eyes flashed, he nodded slightly and said, "If it's because of this matter, I've asked the right person."
Zhu Zizhen's face lit up, and he said seriously: "Please tell the truth, fellow Taoist Zhou."
Zhou Yang didn't say anything, he just raised his hand and called out the [Suzaku Fan].
"This is……"
Zhu Zizhen's eyes suddenly changed. He looked at the scarlet feather fan in Zhou Yang's hand with shock on his face, and then looked at Zhou Yang.
"This magical weapon is called the [Suzaku Fan]. It was made by a true immortal who was in the tribulation period thousands of years ago, using the feather bones of the true spirit Suzaku as the main material, and placed it on the tripod using special means.
It took tens of thousands of years to finally refine it into such an incomparably powerful seventh-level immortal weapon!"
"The Suzaku aura that the senior sensed earlier was probably inadvertently released by the Suzaku weapon spirit when the junior used this object to kill [Fire Charm]."
Zhou Yang faced Zhu Zizhen's shocked gaze and told the origin of the "Suzaku Fan" in a deep voice.
He knew what it meant to let Zhu Zi really see the [Suzaku Fan].
But he also knew that if he denied his ignorance, not to mention whether Zhu Zi would really believe it, even he would be sad about his own heart.
Zhu Zi really did him a big favor back then and was his true benefactor. He also said repeatedly that he would never forget his kindness and would definitely repay his kindness.
If he now deliberately conceals the truth from the other party and does not tell the other party what he knows, then how can he have the face to repay the other party?
"You dare to take this thing out, are you afraid that I will snatch it away?"
Zhu Zizhen took a deep breath, looked at Zhou Yang with sharp eyes, and his voice was very cold.
When she said this, she was also calculating her success rate in snatching the [Suzaku Fan].
With her cultivation as a sixth-level high-grade demon king and her favorable location in the underground magma sea, she was not afraid of fighting against those "half-step true immortals" of the ninth level of Nascent Soul.
Although Zhou Yang has a seventh-level immortal weapon in his hand, his cultivation is only at the second level of Nascent Soul, and he is still injured. If he takes action, Zhu Zi really feels that his winning rate is at least 89%.
This result made her very excited.
But what she didn't expect was that after listening to her words, Zhou Yang responded calmly: "Don't be afraid, because there is no need for seniors to do this!"
"Oh, why is this?"
Zhu Zizhen's face condensed, and he looked at Zhou Yang with a face full of surprise and uncertainty, and his eyes were full of curiosity.
She had no idea where Zhou Yang got the confidence to say this. Is it just because she had helped him once?
This time, she really got it right.
Zhou Yang said immediately: "In fact, when I got this [Suzaku Fan], I thought about dedicating it to my senior to repay my kindness!"
"Haha, Fellow Daoist Zhou's words are too hypocritical. Would you be willing to give such a treasure to others?"
Zhu Zizhen smiled disdainfully, looked at him sarcastically and said, "If you really have this intention, it's not like you don't know the place where I practice, so why haven't you ever visited me?"
It's no wonder she didn't believe Zhou Yang's words.
You must know that this is a seventh-level immortal weapon, a complete seventh-level immortal weapon!
There are not many treasures of this kind in the entire "Linghuan Realm", and even most of the "half-step true immortals" on the ninth level of Nascent Soul have never owned such treasures, let alone given them away.
Faced with her ridicule and questioning, Zhou Yang was not angry at all, but nodded slightly and said: "The situation is like this, it is understandable that senior does not believe it, but I would like to ask senior to listen to junior's explanation before making a conclusion.
"
After speaking, without waiting for Zhu Zizhen to respond, he continued: "With the strength of the senior and the size of this world, there must be few people who can pose a threat to the senior. The junior boldly guesses that the only person that the senior is worried about right now is the True Spirit Heavenly Tribulation.
you!"
"This junior has been fortunate enough to witness a demon cultivator going through the True Spirit Heavenly Tribulation. The power of destroying the heaven and the earth is indeed extraordinary. Without the protection of a powerful magic weapon, it is almost impossible to survive!"
"I'm just sorry for my junior's blunt words. Senior, although you are already at the level of the sixth-level high-grade demon king, you still have a long way to go before you can trigger the True Spirit Heavenly Tribulation."
"Since you are unable to trigger the True Spirit Heavenly Tribulation in a short period of time, and you are so powerful that you are not afraid of any threats, this seventh-level immortal weapon now presented to you, senior, is just the icing on the cake and has little effect."
"The younger generation has just given birth to a baby, has not yet developed his magical powers, and has powerful enemies such as the Yulong Family who are eyeing him. He needs this thing to protect himself and ensure his safety."
"So this junior is not reluctant to part with this thing, but he just wants to use the power of this thing to protect himself for a period of time. When he has enough power to protect himself, he will go to the door in person to offer this thing to his senior, in order to repay his original helping hand.
The grace!”
What Zhou Yang said was precise and his tone was sincere.
However, Zhu Zi's true expression did not change in any way, and she obviously did not believe what he said.
She looked at Zhou Yang with a cold face and said calmly: "When I was traveling in the mortal world of the human race, I once heard a saying, don't look at what others say, look at what others do. I think this statement is very reasonable.
.”
“Young Taoist Master Zhou is saying so well now, but when you actually do it, will you still be consistent with your words and deeds?”
When Zhou Yang heard this, he immediately replied without hesitation: "Junior, I can swear to heaven that what I just said is true. If senior is going to survive the True Spirit Heavenly Tribulation in the future, all he has to do is come look for me, and I will definitely give him up."
I present this [Suzaku Fan] to help our seniors overcome this calamity!"
When Zhu Zi really heard what he said, his expression finally changed slightly.
If your cultivation has reached the Nascent Soul stage and you still dare to swear to the sky, the consequences of violating your oath will be very serious.
But she did not reveal the matter because of this. Instead, she narrowed her eyes and looked at Zhou Yang with a cold light in her eyes and asked, "What if I want it now?"
Zhou Yang couldn't help but fell silent when he heard this.
After he was silent for a while, he suddenly waved his hand, and the scarlet feather fan flew out of his hand and landed in front of Zhu Zizhen.
"Then senior, just take it!"
This time it was Zhu Zi's turn to be silent.
She looked at the scarlet feather fan in front of her, her eyes changing, and she didn't know whether she should reach out for it or not.
But after Zhou Yang threw the feather fan, he felt as if he had got rid of a certain mental illness, and he felt indescribably relaxed.
He did not lie to Zhu Zizhen. When he first obtained the [Suzaku Fan], he really wanted to give this seventh-level fairy weapon to her to repay his original kindness.
It was only a series of things that happened later that made him gradually and selectively forget the original idea in his mind.
Therefore, he has been subconsciously resisting visiting Zhu Zizhen, subconsciously not wanting him to lose this life-saving trump card.
Now, he accidentally met Zhu Zizhen here, and he happened to see through the existence of the [Suzaku Fan]. Zhou Yang had no choice but to face the matter head-on.
For him, losing the [Suzaku Fan] was heartbreaking, and it had a great impact on his own strength.
But it would also be a good thing if we could settle the favors we owe and no longer be burdened by favors.
However, favors are favors, and in order to repay the favor, he could give the [Suzaku Fan] to Zhu Zizhen in advance.
But after this incident, the two of them were just passers-by when they met again.
Zhou Yang would not want to be friends with someone who likes to repay favors.
Zhu Zi really hesitated because she also knew this.
If it were her before, she would never hesitate at this time and immediately take the [Suzaku Fan] away, no matter what Zhou Yang would think.
But Zhou Yang's previous words made her hesitate.
What she was thinking more about was actually what Zhou Yang said when he asked her for help when he was cultivating the immortal world in Donghua Continent.
At that time, she didn't take Zhou Yang's words seriously. She helped Zhou Yang because she helped her a lot in the [Suzaku Secret Realm], not because of Zhou Yang's so-called repayment in the future.
But now the facts tell her that everything Zhou Yang said at the beginning has come true!
This is definitely a cultivator with great luck and excellent cultivation talent. It is difficult to overestimate his future achievements.
If you sacrifice the deep fate and friendship that you have formed with others now for a magic weapon that will definitely belong to you in the future, you will be short-sighted and stupid no matter how you look at it.
The atmosphere of silence lasted for a long time. For Zhu Zizhen, this was really a difficult choice.
After nearly a quarter of an hour passed, she fixed her eyes, gently waved her hand, and sent the vermilion feather fan back to Zhou Yang, and then said: "Since Fellow Daoist Zhou still needs this thing for self-defense, then Fellow Daoist Zhou will continue."
Just keep this thing, I just hope that fellow Taoist Zhou will not forget what I said today in the future."
Seeing this, Zhou Yang didn't show any politeness. He immediately took the treasure and put it away, and replied sternly: "Senior, don't worry, I always keep my word. In the future, whenever I need it, I can hand this thing over to my senior at any time!"
"
Zhu Zizhen nodded lightly to express his understanding, then changed the topic, looked at him with curiosity and asked: "Listening to what Taoist Fellow Zhou said earlier, it seems that Fellow Taoist Zhou has witnessed the True Spirit Heavenly Tribulation. I wonder if you can tell me more about the situation at that time."
"Of course you can."
Zhou Yang responded readily, and Dang even recounted in detail the scene of Mu Qingyun crossing the True Spirit Heavenly Tribulation that he had seen on [Donglai Immortal Island], and even used a secret method to present the memory scene at that time for Zhu Zizhen to watch.
.
"What a powerful True Spirit Heavenly Tribulation! If this king's True Spirit Heavenly Tribulation is so powerful in the future, even with the help of seventh-level immortal weapons, I am afraid that I may not be able to survive it safely!"
Seeing the terrifying lightning that destroyed the world in Zhou Yang's memory, Zhu Zizhen's expression suddenly changed, and he sighed with sadness on his face.
When Zhou Yang heard this, he comforted him and said: "Senior, you are too worried. That Mu Qingyun has done many unjust things and done many evil things. He is also a grass and tree spirit demon. Naturally, the catastrophe will be much stronger than that of other demon kings."
"In fact, there were two demon kings watching the catastrophe with the juniors at that time. One of them was even a sixth-level high-grade demon king who had awakened the memory of blood inheritance in his body. According to what that demon king said, the true nature of ordinary demon kings
The power of the spiritual calamity is at least 30% weaker than that of Mu Qingyun's fellow!"
"Is this true?"
Zhu Zizhen's eyes lit up, and he looked at Zhou Yang with surprise on his face.
"This junior was very kind to that demon king Taoist friend at that time. Presumably he would not deceive this junior in this regard."
Zhou Yang said, and once again explained his relationship with "Thunder Feather Demon King".
After Zhu Zizhen listened, the look of confidence returned to his face, and he couldn't help but say: "If the power of this king's future heavenly tribulation is really 30% weaker as Zhou Daoyou said, then as long as I have the help of Zhou Daoyou's seventh-level immortal weapon, I will at least have
We are 70% certain that we can survive the True Spirit Heavenly Tribulation!"
Zhou Yang complimented him in a timely manner: "I believe that with the talent of my predecessors, I will be able to incarnate as a true spirit in the future!"
