It was another dawn. Gu Zheng came out of the prehistoric space and looked at the white fish belly in the east, feeling a little lost in thought.
When he was just practicing in the ancient space, Gu Zheng thought of the days of exploring the ruins of Shu.
It has been more than half a year since he came out of the Ruins of Shu. During this period, although Gu Zheng went to practice in the ancient space every day and experienced dangers in the treasures of the Kongkong Sect some time ago, overall
It can be said that compared to the high pressure in Shu Ruins, today's life can be considered very leisurely.
For ordinary people, leisure is something they long for, but for Gu Zheng, leisure is a kind of enjoyment after a high-pressure life. He can have a period of time occasionally, but it cannot always be like this. After all, he is an immortal cultivator.
"Qi Ling, I want to take on a mission." Gu Zheng thought excitedly.
"Okay, it's been a while since you took the initiative to take on a mission last time. Now it's good to take on a mission to adjust your leisure time. As for what mission to take, let me think about it."
Qi Ling did not let Gu Zheng wait too long. His voice only paused for about five seconds, and then he spoke again: "I will give you a simple task. Within fifteen days, go to the Kunlun Sect alone to check the Kunlun Divine Stone!"
"Kunlun Divine Stone?" Gu Zheng frowned.
The first time Gu Zheng heard about the Kunlun Divine Stone was in the sect. At that time, Liu Yunzi and Han Shanzi came to Emei to talk to Gu Zheng and them about the quota for the Chaos Tower. During that time, they said that the Kunlun Divine Stone had
Strange. Several months have passed since this incident. Qi Ling suddenly asked Gu Zheng to check the Kunlun Divine Stone, which made Gu Zheng a little curious.
"When I first heard that there was something strange about the Kunlun Divine Stone, I didn't think it was anything. But in the past few days, I have felt something unusual."
Qi Ling's voice was full of worry. This situation rarely happened. Gu Zheng couldn't help but ask: "What's so unusual?"
"There is immortality in the air."
"What?"
Qi Ling's faint words made Gu Zheng's heart feel like thunder. First of all, this is the Dharma-ending era, and there is no immortal essence in the air. Secondly, he himself is also an immortal cultivator. If there is immortal essence in the air, he cannot possibly
Can't feel it.
"There is indeed immortal energy in the air, but this immortal energy is extremely rare. For example, if the immortal energy in the air in the era of Shengfa was in rivers, lakes and seas, the immortal energy in the air now is just a little fluorescence.
Not to mention that you can't feel it, even someone with a cultivation level like Ouyang Hai can't detect it! After all, fluorescence is not a swarm of fireflies, it's the kind that you might encounter one or two in a day."
"Qi Ling, what does this mean?"
Gu Zheng was really anxious. Qi Ling always stopped talking today, and his worried look was unsettling.
"I don't know what this means, so I asked you to check out the Kunlun Divine Stone."
Qi Ling actually smiled, as if her worries before were all Gu Zheng's illusion.
"Then what are you worried about?" Gu Zheng said speechlessly.
"I still don't know if my worries will come true. It's all in vain. After you see the Kunlun Divine Stone, if my worries come true, I will tell you naturally." Qi Ling smiled mischievously.
"I despise you!" Gu Zheng said angrily, and then stopped talking.
After a while, Qi Ling asked: "What are you thinking about? Are you still thinking about the Kunlun Divine Stone?"
"No, anyway, if you don't want to say it now, it's useless for me to think about it. I'm just thinking that this mission sounds simple, but in fact it's not that simple. In the process of this mission, a lot of things may happen!
"Gu Zheng smiled bitterly.
"I gave you a simple task, but everything has a cause and effect! Although this trip to Kunlun is bound to cause some things, these things are not difficult to solve." Qi Ling said.
"That's right. Everything has a cause and a result. What may happen is exactly the cause I planted in the first place." Gu Zheng nodded.
Arriving in Kunlun within fifteen days will coincide with a grand gathering in Kunlun.
The Kunlun Sect is the leader of the righteous path and owns the Kunlun Ruins, which is opened once every ten years.
The things produced in Kunlun Ruins are better and richer than those in Shu Ruins, and people can stay there for as long as five months.
Kunlun is not like Shu Mountain. Half of the people who can enter Shu Ruins are disciples belonging to branch sects. Those who can enter Kunlun Ruins are all Kunlun disciples! In this way, the Kunlun Sect can harvest from Kunlun Ruins every ten years.
An extremely large amount of resources!
Of course, this time the Kunlun Ruins is open, I don’t know what kind of price Shushan paid to win two places to enter the Kunlun Ruins.
Within a month after the closure of Kunlun Ruins, the entire Kunlun Sect will be very lively, and many people from the sect will be invited to the Kunlun Sect.
Those invited to the Kunlun Sect are not there to watch the closing ceremony, but to receive cultivation resources!
The Kunlun sect is the leader of the righteous path, and they do behave as a leader should. They will allocate some resources to other sects, so that they can still get some things that are almost impossible to see outside in this end-of-law era where resources are scarce.
Precious materials.
However, the Kunlun Sect does not provide resources for free. They need to allocate resource practitioners to use their internal energy in the next twenty days to provide energy for the operation of the Kunlun Sect's "Ancestral Dragon Formation".
The reason why Gu Zheng feels that the mission of the Kunlun Sect's trip will not be too simple is that in addition to the festival between him and the Kunlun disciples, there is also the cause and effect from the sect.
Kunlun is the leader of the righteous path, and Shushan is the second sect of the righteous path. The first and second sects have never dealt with each other no matter where they are, and Kunlun and Shushan are no exception. However, Kunlun and Shushan are not as unresponsive as before.
Qingcheng and Emei are so powerful, they just compete fiercely with each other, and they have to guard against and compete with each other.
If you don't deal with it, you won't deal with it, but on the bright side, if something major happens, Kunlun and Shushan will still unite the front. After all, they represent the right way in the world.
It is precisely because of the reason that the Kunlun Sect never invites people from Shushan and its branch sects to participate in grand gatherings. If Gu Zheng goes to the Kunlun Sect during the grand gathering, his face will definitely not look good.
Moreover, the Kunlun sect’s most hated branch of Shushan is none other than Emei! This is because during the era of prosperity, Master Changmei unlocked the ‘energy battlefield’ of Emei Pagoda, and all the sects wanted to
To enter and experience it, even the people of the Kunlun Sect are no exception.
However, Changmei Zhenren is the Patriarch of Emei, and he is a person sent from Shushan. He naturally refused the Kunlun Sect's request to allow his disciples to enter the 'energy battlefield' to experience! So since then, the Kunlun Sect's people
, and therefore particularly dislike the Emei disciples.
Now that he had taken the initiative to take over the mission, Gu Zheng did not stay much longer. He took care of some things around him during the day, and waited until late at night, using the cover of the night to draw his Thunder Tooth Sword and fly straight to Emei.
Back in the sect, Gu Zheng listened to Elder Wuchou's report on the things in the sect. Two things made him frown slightly.
The first thing is that Zhao Wen from Zhao Mansion came to visit us a few days ago.
When he was in the Zhao Mansion, Gu Zheng gave Zhao Wen a period of one month. If he still wanted to eat Gu Zheng's delicious food, he could come to him in the sect.
After that, Gu Zheng stayed in the sect for more than two months, and returned to the city for more than three months, which added up to almost half a year. I don’t know what Zhao Wen’s visit was about.
Regarding Zhao Wen's visit, Elder Wuyou also asked him, but his answer was that he happened to be visiting the mountains, so he paid a visit. He did not mention a word about the disappearance of the ancient Wuchen coffin.
Gu Zheng didn't pay much attention to Zhao Wen's matter, he just frowned in surprise.
The second thing that made Gu Zheng frown was that the white cat had been sleeping since it ate the beast spirit food. It had been several months and it still showed no sign of waking up!
Gu Zheng, who was a little worried, asked Qi Ling again about the white cat, and the answer Qi Ling gave was that the longer the descendants of mythical beasts like white cats sleep during promotion, the more achievements they can achieve in the future.
The bigger it gets.
Qi Ling also told Gu Zheng that even though the white cat was sleeping, that was just a superficial appearance. In fact, its current state was just like Gu Zheng entering a mysterious realm. In the white cat's 'world',
It is also in a mysterious realm.
Two days later, Gu Zheng set off for Kunlun.
Regarding Gu Zheng's trip to Kunlun, Ouyang Hai and other senior officials in the sect were a little worried. After all, Emei was not popular with Kunlun people at all.
In this regard, Ouyang Hai and others also made requests to accompany them, but they were all rejected by Gu Zheng. This would be a rare experience for him. What's more, Qi Ling must have thought that Ouyang Hai and others would make such a request.
So when the mission was announced, it was stated that Gu Zheng was to go alone.
After wasting some time on the road, Gu Zheng entered the Kunlun Mountains three days later.
The cold wind and the flying snow flakes make it a world of ice and snow as far as the eye can see.
Stepping on the Thunder Tooth Sword, Gu Zheng flew deep into the Kunlun Mountains for a short time before putting away the Thunder Tooth Sword and walking on foot. This did not mean that he could not withstand the knife-like cold wind in the sky, nor did it mean that the Thunder Tooth Sword
The time for the air-control characteristics has come, but now it is during the grand gathering of Kunlun Sect.
Kunlun Ruins has been closed for eight days, and the Kunlun Mountain grand event will be held on the tenth day. In the two days left before the grand event, many people from the cultivating world will go to the Kunlun Sect. Because of this, Guzheng
He didn't want anyone to discover the secret of his ability to fly with a sword.
After walking for more than two hours and ascending a snow-capped mountain, Gu Zheng saw a group of people at the bottom of the mountain packing up their tents.
Judging from the colors and divisions of the camps, these people at the foot of the mountain should be divided into two sects.
Gu Zheng went down the mountain and approached the crowd. The location of these people was his only way to the Kunlun Sect.
"Fellow Taoist, are you also going to the Kunlun Sect?"
The people who were cleaning up the camp naturally noticed Gu Zheng. Among them, a fair-skinned young man in the red camp area asked a question in surprise.
"Yes, I am also going to the Kunlun Sect! I dare to ask my friend, which sect are you a disciple of?"
Gu Zheng looked at the young man in front of him who was similar to him in age and showed a kind smile.
"We are the Tianxin sect from Wufeng Island." The young man stretched out his hand and pointed at the people behind him who were still cleaning up the red tent, and then said: "My name is Yang Zhenling, what do you call me fellow Taoist? From whom do you study?"
People from the two sects use white tents and red tents respectively. In terms of clothing, they are relatively obviously different from the practitioners in the mainland.
"Which sect are you a disciple of? Why are you traveling alone?"
Almost as soon as Yang Zhenling finished speaking, a middle-aged man who was originally in the white tent area came over and asked Gu Zheng a question with a straight face.
"It turns out to be fellow Taoist Yang from the Tianxin sect. My name is Gu An. He is a casual cultivator with no family or sect."
Gu Zheng ignored the stern-faced middle-aged man and just answered Yang Zhenling's question.
Gu Zheng didn't want to tell Yang Zhenling and others his true identity. Anyway, after a while, he would speed up and throw these people away. Telling them that he was the head of Emei would only make them laugh. After all, the Emei sect was not subject to Kunlun.
Everyone knows that everyone is welcome.
As for the sect that Yang Zhenling belongs to, Gu Zheng has never heard of it. After all, there are no fewer cultivation sects overseas than those in the mainland. They live on various islands in the sea. Most of them are covered by immortal formations and are rarely known to outsiders.
"Rogue cultivator? As a young casual cultivator, how advanced can you be to receive an invitation from the Kunlun Sect? Are you here to watch the excitement?"
The stern-faced middle-aged man, with a trace of undisguised sarcasm on his face, and a pair of not too big eyes, stared at Gu Zheng and looked him up and down. He was really as rude as he could be.
.
Gu Zheng frowned slightly. This middle-aged man's cultivation was at the early stage of the fifth level. Such cultivation was considered very good for his age group. However, the middle-aged man's behavior was obviously not that good.
A cultivator at the early stage of the fifth level, who can be considered a master after all, speaks with a gun and a stick without any courtesy.
"Ha ha!"
Yang Zhenling smiled slightly awkwardly and spoke to smooth things over for the stern-faced middle-aged man: "This is Senior Luo Jin from the Tianluo Sect on the Blood Tide Island overseas. He usually likes to joke with the juniors."
"It turns out he is a fellow Taoist from the Tianluo Sect, whom I have admired for a long time!"
Gu Zheng did not call Luo Jin his senior, but since Yang Zhenling made the introduction, he accepted him as a courtesy.
Luo Jin accepted Gu Zheng's salute carelessly and rolled his eyes: "Boy, have you heard of my Tianluo Sect?"
It was originally just a polite word, but who would have thought that Luo Jin would ask as if he was missing a chord, and Gu Zheng could only smile.
"I heard someone mention it. It is said that the Tianluo Sect is very prestigious overseas."
Gu Zheng heard about Tianluo Sect for the first time today. Although he was complimentary on the outside, he was also a little impatient in his heart and was about to say goodbye to the people in front of him.
"Uncle Luo, we have finished packing and are ready to set off."
One of the disciples who was cleaning up the camp shouted to Gu Zheng and the others.
"Nephew Zhenling, it's time to hit the road."
The Tianxin sect's camp had also been tidied up, and an old man with white hair and beard also called out.
