The man in the robe paused, then continued: "You can survive if you pass this test. If you fail this test, you will die. This test only lasts for one stick of incense!"
"One stick of incense, what kind of test?" Gu Zheng narrowed his eyes.
"Don't be so nervous. In fact, it is a test and an opportunity. And this kind of opportunity is not unfamiliar to you. That is the mysterious realm!" said the man in robe.
Hearing what the man in robe said, Gu Zheng's eyes suddenly lit up. When he first heard the incense stick, he thought it was a difficult test, but he didn't expect that it turned out to be a mysterious realm.
Maybe for ordinary people, the test of the mysterious realm is a relatively difficult test, after all, they have to make insights inside. However, for Gu Zheng, he has experienced too many mysterious realms in his life, but in these mysterious realms
In the realm, he has never encountered a mysterious realm that can stump him.
"The test begins!"
There was no time left for Gu Zheng to prepare. The starry sky under the robe's hat emitted a dazzling light. Gu Zheng only felt that after the light and dark in his vision changed, he was already in a mysterious realm.
There is nothing magical about the mysterious realm, because it is what it looks like in the third dimension. Except for the robed man, the lava horse and the lava skeleton, it has all the things that should be there, such as the corpse of the lava ant man and the corpse of the lava flying ant on the ground.
and the corpse of the Lava Ant King.
It is said to be a mysterious realm, but this mysterious realm is different from those mysterious realms that Gu Zheng experienced in his ontological era. In this mysterious realm, Gu Zheng is completely awake. He is not lost. He knows who he is and what he wants to do.
.
Precisely because he is not lost, Gu Zheng must seize the time to look for the so-called opportunity. This search requires not only seeing with his eyes, but also using his control over the entire fairy-level space fairy weapon to sense it.
Although the third-level space is not small, Gu Zheng did not find anything after observation. Gu Zheng was a little worried as he rushed towards the ant nest. Although the time has not passed long since the end of the mysterious realm. However, Gu Zheng felt that the so-called
The ant nest should be very large, and in an environment with intertwined passages like the ant nest, the time wasted to observe carefully is definitely more time than to observe the empty three-story space.
Gu Zheng rushed into the ant nest, which was a long passage. When he rushed to the end of the passage as quickly as he could, he was stunned by the sight in front of him. He saw those people wearing watches.
Ant eggs on the cave wall.
It was shocking. When he saw these ant eggs, Gu Zheng really didn't know what to say. He understood that these ant eggs were the sufferings suffered by the lava ant queen in these years. He did not dare to think deeply about the sufferings.
details.
Gu Zheng continued to go deeper into the ant nest. The deeper he went into the ant nest, the harder it became to calm down in his heart, because there were really too many ant eggs, and he did not see any empty cave walls at all.
Finally, Gu Zheng arrived somewhere in the ant nest, where he finally saw two cave walls that might be called "empty".
The so-called mysterious realm, the things inside are really the same as those in the third level. The place where Gu Zheng stops now is the place where the queen ant was beaten before, and when it was beaten, its body was smashed into pieces.
There are some ant eggs on the wall of the cave, and at this time, more than half of the test time has passed.
Gu Zheng carefully observed the two "open spaces". Although he didn't know that the queen ant had been beaten in this place, he had no reason not to pay attention to it, because it was the most peculiar place he had seen in the ant nest.
"Huh? I feel it!"
Gu Zheng's heart moved. His control over the immortal-level space artifact gave him a subtle feeling at this moment.
In this relatively difficult space world, Gu Zheng has experienced several mysterious realms, so he knows that this subtle feeling is like a melon vine. As long as you follow the vine and touch it, it is very likely that you will get it.
Touching a melon, and melon represents opportunity! However, nothing is absolute. In the mysterious realm experienced in ancient battles, this kind of vine is not 100% likely to have a melon, but the probability of it being there is very high.
In response to Gu Zheng's sense of the 'empty' land, he felt that the melon vines were getting thicker and thicker. This feeling made him excited, because the thickening of the melon vines increased the chances of melons forming.
Finally, when Gu Zheng's special sense of the 'empty' land reached a certain level, there was a roar in his mind, and a picture appeared in front of him. The picture was not motionless, and the protagonist in the picture was lava.
Queen ant.
The picture with the lava ant queen is like the memory that Gu Zheng saw when he was searching for people's souls. The picture changes very quickly, and while watching the picture, Gu Zheng's breathing becomes a little rapid. This kind of rapidity
It's anger, not calmness! Because the content of the picture is the torture that the lava ant queen endured every day for endless years. He can even feel the personal pain, as well as the personal madness and resentment from the picture.
Gu Zheng thought he was going crazy. He wondered if he could still maintain a normal heart if he went through what the lava ant queen went through.
"I can!"
Gu Zheng, who was tortured to the point of collapse by the picture, suddenly let out a loud roar, and the original negative emotions disappeared in his heart instantly.
Gu Zheng is not an ordinary person. His body is already at the quasi-sage level. Later, he entered that strange world through the arrangement of Tiexian. It is not an exaggeration to say that he has lived in two lifetimes, and in this body, his body has reached a very high level.
, his will is not generally firm, even in this space world with fairy-level space artifacts.
After his mind settled down, Gu Zheng had completely understood that the so-called test of the mysterious realm was not simple. In this mysterious realm, there were factors that would cause people to fail without waiting for the end of the mysterious realm. That was what the lava ant queen in the picture was saying.
Those things he experienced! If Gu Zheng hadn't been so strange in his two lives, he felt that he might not be able to withstand the pain of the past. If he couldn't withstand that kind of pain, then the test would have failed, and he would have become
The next lava ant queen!
However, Gu Zheng was not an ordinary person after all. He carried it through, so the originally fast scene slowed down and turned into a scene where the lava ant queen was venting her fear, and then was beaten and smashed the ant eggs.
Then, the picture Gu Zheng saw completely disappeared, and Gu Zheng's originally open eyes also closed.
The special feeling generated by the control over the fairy-level space artifact reappeared, and this feeling clearly made Gu Zheng understand that his opportunity had appeared. This opportunity was hidden in the scene he saw before.
So Gu Zheng closed his eyes. He wanted to carefully recall what he saw in the last scene, and he wanted to find his own opportunity from it.
The last scene began to appear in Gu Zheng's mind. Gu Zheng saw the painful lava ant queen, heard the lava ant queen's unwillingness, saw the lava ant queen being beaten, heard the voice of the man in the robe, and saw the lava ant queen being beaten.
The mist rising from the broken eggshell.
After replaying the last scene several times, Gu Zheng's eyes suddenly opened because he felt that the mist he saw in the last scene was too strange. The mist was a kind of energy, but it was not the same as the energy of the man in the robe.
Different, and the special feeling of controlling the fairy-level space fairy weapon clearly gave Gu Zheng guidance, so Gu Zheng knew that he had to grasp this strange mist.
Without any hesitation in his heart, Gu Zheng punched the cave wall. The crisp sound was like a firecracker that kept coming to mind. The ant eggs on the wall seemed to explode one by one, and the mist that emerged from them flew towards Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng closed his eyes and absorbed the mist energy floating towards him as if taking a deep breath, because he already knew that this mist energy was his opportunity. He had to seize the time to absorb more, and the amount of inhalation would affect him.
How much power can be gained in the end and the supernatural awakening.
Feeling the changes in his body due to the awakening of his magical power, Gu Zheng felt a little complicated in his heart. This magical power this time was really too powerful, but this magical power would make him endure some torture when using it.
After a while.
"Congratulations!"
The man in robe suddenly appeared behind Gu Zheng. Now the test time of the mysterious realm has passed, but the mysterious realm is not over yet.
Gu Zheng turned around and said calmly: "Why is the mysterious realm not over?"
"Because I have something to tell you. This is the explanation you should have after passing the third level of test!" The man in the robe said.
"Do you want to clear up the confusion? This is good!" Gu Zheng smiled.
"However, the so-called explanation is only about me and the lava ant queen. I can't answer your other questions."
The man in the robe paused for a moment, and then began to explain Gu Zheng's doubts. It told Gu Zheng some things about the lava ant queen, and also told Gu Zheng some things about it. Gu Zheng remembered all these things in his heart.
After all, the Lava Ant Queen is the fourth entrant. What she experienced in this special space world is very different from Gu Zheng. It sounds like such things will also increase Gu Zheng's experience. However, in these things
Among them, what touched Gu Zheng the most was that the man in the robe turned out to be the disaster of the fourth entrant.
After listening to what the man in the robe said, Gu Zheng quickly asked: "What is Fenxu Purple Flame?"
Burning Xu Purple Flame is the purple vision emitted from the third eye of the Lava War Horse. Gu Zheng didn’t know that Purple Vision had such a name before, and the Lava War Horse who awakened the Burning Xu Purple Flame also didn’t know either. However, after hearing this
The lava ant queen's name for the purple sight and her shock at the time made Gu Zheng feel that the lava war horse's purple vision was not as simple as the lava war horse understood.
"This is not a question I should answer." The man in the robe said.
"But this is a question about the Lava Ant Queen, because the Lava Ant Queen is shocked by Fenxu Ziyan!"
Gu Zheng was also helpless. When he listened to the man in the robe, he didn't hear anything about Fenxu Ziyan. He didn't know if he could get an answer from the man in the robe. Anyway, there was no loss in trying.
Bar!
"This is something you can't wait for. It may play a big role in one of your future tests!"
The man in the robe didn't want to say anything more. After saying this, his body shattered and disappeared along with the mysterious realm like a broken mirror.
Without the mysterious realm, Gu Zheng's consciousness returned to its original position. He was still in his original position, and the first thing he felt was the concern and anxiety of the lava horse.
"Master, some changes have occurred!"
The lava war horse immediately reported to Gu Zheng. In fact, even if it did not report to Gu Zheng, it had already seen that the corpses of the lava flying ants and lava ant men that were originally scattered in the three-layer space had all disappeared without a trace.
After listening to Lava War Horse's report, Gu Zheng learned that during the period when he entered the mysterious realm, the mysterious energy once again acted on the third level of space, and the corpses that would not have turned into ashes had all turned into ashes.
The ashes seeped into the rock wall, but the Lava Horse did not do anything because of the warning before the ancient war, and the Lava Skeleton also did not move.
Gu Zheng touched the lava war horse's head and told him not to take this matter to heart. No one could stop what was coming.
"Let's go to the ant nest."
Gu Zheng asked the lava horse to follow him to the ant nest. As for the lava skeletons, he didn't say anything. Anyway, as long as he didn't stop them, the lava skeletons would follow him wherever he went.
The third level of space is the same as the fourth level of space. There is a cloud barrier above the spiral staircase, but this level is not like the second level. There are key-shaped grooves for obvious guidance. This is the foggy cloud barrier.
.
Gu Zheng didn't know the key to pass through this cloud barrier before, but after experiencing the mysterious realm, he knew that the so-called key to pass through this cloud barrier was actually the energy in the ant eggs.
The energy in the ant eggs is the key for Gu Zheng to awaken his supernatural powers in the mysterious realm, but in the real world, the energy in the ant eggs cannot be absorbed by Gu Zheng at all. However, the man in the robe was talking about it and the fourth entrant before.
During those events, it was mentioned that the fourth entrant also had a follower, and her follower was a humanoid lava monster.
When the fourth entrant entered the third-level space, there was a lava ant queen here, and after she entered the ant nest with her followers, her followers had awakened due to the energy in the ant eggs.
The followers of the fourth entrant are also lava monsters, and Gu Zheng's followers are also lava monsters, so his lava horses and lava skeletons came in. He wanted to see if his followers could also be lucky because of the energy in the ant eggs.
Make an awakening.
The lava war horses were relatively well-behaved. After following Gu Zheng into the ant nest, I didn't know what Gu Zheng was up to, but the lava skeletons were like kings of destruction and started frantically destroying the ant eggs displayed on the wall.
Because many ant eggs were destroyed, the energy gas in an ant egg originally became very rich after it was gathered together. The lava skeletons that destroyed the ant eggs were filled with mist energy one by one.
Under the influence, everyone danced as if they were drunk. If Gu Zheng hadn't sensed that there was something wrong with the lava skeletons, he might have dragged them out with a long flame whip.
"Don't you feel anything special?"
Gu Zheng sent a message from his mind to ask about the lava war horse.
"No!"
From the way the lava skeletons danced, the lava warhorse had already guessed some of the reasons why Gu Zheng had brought them to the ant nest, so he seemed a little depressed at the moment.
"Then go and see for yourself! See if you can harvest anything from these ant eggs."
Gu Zheng said this to the lava war horse, and then began to adjust his breath. He wanted to enter the peak state before entering the fourth level of space.
It took Gu Zheng about an hour to adjust his breath. By the time he finished adjusting his breath, the Lava War Horse had already returned to him, and he had long known the Lava War Horse's depression of not gaining anything.
The lava skeletons had returned to normal, and they stood quietly beside Gu Zheng, but Gu Zheng knew that these seemingly quiet guys had gained something, and they fell asleep for half an hour after dancing.
!
Because there is no way to communicate with the lava skeletons, I can't ask them what they have understood. But if they say that they have understood nothing, Gu Zheng will not believe it even to death.
There was nothing going on in the third-level space, but Gu Zheng did not leave immediately. He would stay in the third-level space for a while, waiting for the magical power of the Lava God Hammer to be used again before leaving. After all, it was his reliance.
After the magical power of the Lava God Hammer was restored, Gu Zheng rode the lava horse and led the lava skeletons up the spiral staircase.
After the ant eggs were opened at the top of the spiral staircase and the mist energy floated onto the cloud barrier, the cloud barrier began to become dull, and the feeling of passing through the teleportation fairy formation was born again.
At the moment when Gu Zheng passed through the cloud barrier, the dusty door in the lava dragon lizard classmate on the first floor opened. Nothing came out, only a voice.
"You have finally reached the fourth level of space, and I have finally been released from the imprisonment because of you. It is time for us to meet. Although I can be released from the imprisonment because of you, you must die. If you don't die, I will
How can there be freedom!" Shi Menhou's voice was filled with emotion.
Gu Zheng and the others had entered the fourth-level space. Seeing the scene in the fourth-level space, Gu Zheng could not help but narrow his eyes.
The first three levels of space are relatively similar, at least they have one thing in common, that is, there are holes, but in the fourth level of space, there is not a single hole.
All Gu Zheng could see was a small lake in the center of the space, with a spiral staircase leading to the upper space. However, the so-called small lake was neither magma nor ordinary water.
A liquid of icy cold air.
"It seems that the test of this level should be in this cold lake." Gu Zheng murmured in his heart.
To be honest, Gu Zheng didn't want to test whether he really came from the cold lake. It was a place that conflicted with his own attributes. Whether he entered the cold lake or a monster appeared there, he was not willing to face it.
After all, Gu Zheng really has a shadow in his heart about this kind of place that conflicts with his attributes. He will not forget how he had no choice but to fight with the silver eel in the magma lake before entering the interior of the volcano.
He reached an agreement and thus caused this disaster! If he hadn't been in that cold special area, he would have made other choices instead of compromising. If he hadn't been in the second floor space, he made the right choice by chance.
, then he has now become the lava ant queen in the third layer of space, taking over the place of the fourth entrant to endure the eternal suffering.
Gu Zheng asked the lava skeleton to stand by, and he rode his lava horse towards the cold lake. He wanted to observe the cold lake up close first.
"Boom!"
Just as Gu Zheng took a step forward on his lava horse, the fourth floor space began to vibrate slightly, and there was a sound like muffled thunder.
