After resting for a few days, Gu Zheng started refining the clone again. When he stopped this time, there would be a Five Elements Immortal Ball in the clone. It took about seven years.
In the eyes of Miao Miao and others, Gu Zheng, who was in the state of refining the clone, seemed to be asleep. But in fact, Gu Zheng did not dare to be careless about the sacrifice of the clone. He could not see it in Miao Miao and others.
busy in the world.
Time flies by like a flash, and in the blink of an eye, another seven years have passed.
Gu Zheng opened his eyes again, and his clone already had the Five Elements Immortal Ball in his body.
"Owner!"
"gentlemen!"
Seeing Gu Zheng wake up, Butterfly Spirit and Meow Meow called.
Nothing special happened during the seven years, and Miaomiao and others' cultivation did not make any big progress. The only thing worth mentioning is that they went out many times and collected a lot of outside ingredients for Gu Zheng.
"Ancient struggle!"
Sensing that Gu Zheng had woken up, the weapon spirit, which had not entered a deep cultivation state this time, also made a happy sound.
Gu Zheng was naturally very happy to see Qi Ling. In the blink of an eye, he had not communicated with Qi Ling for more than ten years. This was something that had never happened since he had Qi Ling.
Compared with Miao Miao and Die Ling, Qi Ling's cultivation progress is relatively significant. According to Qi Ling, if she can continue to practice like this for a hundred years, she will be able to enter a state where everything is ready, and she can only wait for Gu Zheng to master more.
The profound way of space, and then try to take her out of the primitive space.
"Master, how many days are you going to rest this time?"
After a good chat, Die Ling asked about Gu Zheng.
"Is something wrong?"
Gu Zheng didn't read Die Ling's thoughts, but he could see from her eyes that she seemed to have something to say.
"I want to accept Master's teaching on 'space hiding'." Die Ling said.
‘Space Hidden’ is a very useful spatial magical power. When Guzheng was searching for souls in Ningcui, he realized this magical power by chance. Later, in the Rift Canyon, he also avoided a lot of trouble through ‘Space Hidden’.
After comprehending the magical power of 'Space Hidden', Gu Zheng wanted to use the situation of discussing Tao to present the scene he saw when searching for souls and Ningcui in Die Ling's mind, to see if Die Ling could also comprehend this by chance.
Magical powers. After all, Butterfly Spirit is good at sneak attacks, and she also has the foundation to master the basic way of space. It is relatively possible that she can understand the 'hidden space' magical power.
However, when Gu Zheng wanted to teach Die Ling about "space hiding", Die Ling felt that he was not in the right state, so the matter has been postponed until now.
"Now that you want to accept the teaching of 'Space Hidden', do you think you can understand it, or do you need to use this magical power?" Gu Zheng said with a smile.
"Firstly, I feel it, and secondly, I want to use this magical power."
Die Ling smiled slightly and then told Gu Zheng something.
Gu Zheng knew before that the world outside this circle may be larger than the prehistoric world. After all, it is a more advanced plane than the prehistoric world.
In the past few years, in the world outside this circle, Die Ling and Angry Man have traveled far away. They found a ruins, but they felt that there was some danger inside. Die Ling also wanted to see if he could understand the "space hidden"
, and then go in alone to observe.
After hearing Butterfly Spirit's description, Gu Zheng was also a little itchy. There are many monsters in this plane, but to be precise, these so-called monsters can basically only be called ferocious beasts. They don't have much intelligence at all, let alone
A highly intelligent being who can build ruins. Unfortunately, Gu Zheng has an appointment with Fairy Qixuan. He will then have to perfect the clone in the Dacheng stage. Time is not very generous, so he can only endure his curiosity.
Stay in the cave and continue to worship the clone.
"If it's just a ferocious beast, I wouldn't be too worried about you even if this is a higher plane than prehistoric times. But since it's a ruins, you must be careful!"
Gu Zheng gave some instructions to Die Ling, and then sat cross-legged with her face to face, replaying the scene he saw that day when searching for souls and Ning Cui in her mind.
Whether Die Ling can achieve enlightenment or not, Gu Zheng can only say that he thinks she has a greater possibility, but the final outcome still depends on her own luck.
The angry man and others all held their breaths, and the surrounding environment became terrifyingly quiet for a while. No one knew what the butterfly spirit felt in the mysterious realm, even Gu Zheng.
Time passed little by little, and the atmosphere became so quiet that it made people feel a little panicked.
Suddenly, Gu Zheng's brows moved. He opened his eyes, which were originally closed, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. As a person who preached to Die Ling, although he had no way of knowing what Die Ling would see in the mysterious realm.
How does he feel about this thing, but he can know immediately whether Butterfly Spirit has enlightened or not.
"Great, I understand the 'space hidden'!"
Butterfly Spirit opened her eyes and cheered. Understanding the 'hidden space' was really a powerful thing for her.
It was inevitable for everyone to congratulate Die Ling. After gathering for half a day, Die Ling and the angry man went to explore the ruins. Gu Zheng rested for another seven days, and then began to sacrifice the clone again.
Entering the state of sacrificial refining, Gu Zheng couldn't feel the passage of time. All he could feel was the fatigue of his body.
The body is getting more and more tired, and the clone is becoming more and more perfect. All preparations are in place. Next, Gu Zheng only needs to put his spiritual thoughts into the clone's body, and the clone will be completely perfect.
How much spiritual thoughts are put into the clone's body will affect how much spiritual thoughts and magical powers the clone can exert. Of course, there is no limit to how much spiritual thoughts are put into the body. It depends on the overall situation of the clone.
The spiritual thoughts Gu Zheng wants to put into the clone are equivalent to the spiritual thoughts he had when he became an immortal cultivator. This is also the most suitable quantity for the comprehensive conditions of the clone so far.
Separating part of the spiritual thought from the main body, Gu Zheng introduced it into the clone body like a long stream. This is a process that requires careful attention, and there are many things that need to be paid attention to during the process. After all, this is the final stage of the sacrifice of the clone body, as long as
If the spiritual thoughts can be perfectly introduced into the clone body, then the divine thoughts will exist like a spring. Even if the clone cannot practice independently, the divine thoughts will have the characteristics of automatic recovery like the divine thoughts of normal immortal cultivators. At the same time,
The clone will also have the ability to think and truly become the second Gu Zheng!
Finally, all the spiritual thoughts stripped from Gu Zheng's body have entered the body of the clone. The aura of the clone is completely different at this moment. He has the same energy as Gu Zheng, and he looks no different from ordinary people.
It took a total of twenty-nine years from the beginning of the ancient war to refine the clone. The clone that had closed its eyes for twenty-nine years finally opened its eyes at this moment.
As soon as the clear black eyes opened, the clone first looked around, then his eyes fell on Gu Zheng, and he said with a smile: "I."
With a simple call, countless emotions arose in Gu Zheng's heart. Looking at his clone, it really felt like he was looking at himself in the mirror.
Gu Zheng said nothing. He reached out to his clone, and the clone reached out to him, and the two held their hands together.
"Congratulations sir!"
Miaomiao cheered on the side. The two identical Gu Zheng felt really strange to her.
"What should I call Mr.'s clone in the future?"
Kneading Gu Zheng's shoulders with his little hands, Miao Miao looked at the clone moving in the cave and asked Gu Zheng curiously.
"He is another me, you can just call him husband." Gu Zheng said.
"Sir, is it really not possible for a clone to exist?" Miao Miao's eyes were slightly worried.
"Don't worry, he won't!"
Gu Zheng understood that Miaomiao's worry was that the clones would rebel against the master. Throughout the ages, among the clones cultivated by immortal cultivators, there had indeed been such examples. That is, after the clones gained the ability to think independently, as time went by, they no longer
Then focus on the main body, and even want to kill the main body and replace it. However, such examples are very few after all. Every immortal cultivator who sacrifices and refines the clone has also arranged some means during the sacrifice to prevent such a situation.
situation occurs.
The earth-born clone is different from the traditional clone. He does not rebel against the master, because the source of his spiritual thoughts is provided by Gu Zheng, and his mission is to be the backup of the main body. He has an unusual thought, even if the main body is not in the same place as him.
It can also be sensed in space! It can be said that the safety of the earth-embedded clone is higher than that of the master contract.
Seeing that Gu Zheng was serious about what he said, Miaomiao's worries were relieved.
"Sir, what level of immortal cultivator is the clone now equivalent to?" Miao Miao asked curiously.
"Even though he already has the Five Elements Immortal Ball and the Yin-Yang Immortal Ball in his body, he can still only be regarded as an immortal cultivator in the early stage of Qi transformation. It will take a lot of opportunities to cultivate him." Gu Zheng sighed with emotion.
road.
"Where are the Butterfly Spirit and the Angry Man?" Gu Zheng asked.
"Sir, the two of them have never come back since they left that time." Miao Miao said worriedly.
"That time? The time when you realized the 'hidden space'?" Gu Zheng frowned.
"Yes!" Miao Miao smiled bitterly.
Eleven years have passed since the time when Butterfly Spirit realized the 'hidden space'.
At the ruins where Die Ling and Angry Man went, Gu Zheng asked Die Ling for the 'spiritual mind map' made by Die Ling after preaching about 'space hiding', just in case, but he didn't expect to use it now.
Up.
Judging from the map, at the speed at which Butterfly Spirit and Angry Man travel, as long as the ruins expedition goes smoothly, six years is enough time for a round trip, and most of the time will be spent on the road.
Now, ten years have passed, but Die Ling and Angry Man still haven't come back, which means something must have happened to them! Fortunately, Angry Man, Die Ling and the ancient struggle have no ordinary relationship, and the ancient struggle between their life and death is also different.
It can be felt that both of them are still alive now.
"Let's go out and do some activities." Gu Zheng said.
"Fellow Taoist, shall I go with you?" Sun Cheng spoke.
"Forget it, you can still practice here!" Gu Zheng said.
Although he has used the 'Commanding Starlight', decades have not been enough for Sun Cheng's cultivation to improve significantly. Today, he is still in the early stage of Daluo Jinxian, and he can trap the butterfly spirit and the angry man.
Taking him there would be of no use.
Gu Zheng didn't know exactly what the predicament that Die Ling and the others encountered was like, but what he knew clearly was that he had to come back within five months, because five months later would be the time when the space rift would open, and he had to
He must return to the ancient world to fulfill his agreement with Fairy Qixuan.
After putting Miao Miao into the Chaos Tower, Gu Zheng walked out of the cave and directly used the "Meteor to Chase the Moon" to run towards the ruins.
Using "Meteors to Chase the Moon" to move forward, Gu Zheng soon arrived near the ruins.
The ruins are located in a huge mountain range. The surrounding area is relatively desolate, with traces of fighting skills left unknown how many years ago.
The architectural style on the surface is different from that of the prehistoric times. Gu Zheng knew that Die Ling and Angry Man discovered a different cave under the ruins, and then returned to learn 'space hiding'.
According to Die Ling's description, Gu Zheng found an entrance underground in the ruins and entered a huge building like a dungeon.
Not feeling any danger, Gu Zheng just moved forward. Paying attention to the surrounding environment made him understand that those who can build such ruins are already the best in the quasi-sage realm according to the standards of immortal cultivators! Some formations remaining in the ruins
Laws and restrictions can still affect ordinary quasi-sages.
The underground city is very large, and it took Gu Zheng some time to get to the most luxurious hall.
The main hall, which originally had the most luxurious architectural style, is now mostly dilapidated. Gu Zheng found the traces left by the Butterfly Spirit Dark Moon Dagger on the brutal walls.
Reaching out and brushing through the void, the air in the hall rippled like ripples, and time retreated under the control of Gu Zheng.
one day.
January.
One year.
Five years.
Over a cup of tea, Gu Zheng allowed the time in the hall to return to the day of the incident, and he saw what had happened in the hall.
The butterfly spirit and the angry man fought with a group of monsters outside the circle. There were eight of those monsters, all of which were equivalent to the quasi-sage level. The butterfly spirit and the angry man were defeated by the monsters, and finally they jointly cast a spell.
, causing a disc similar to a fairy formation to appear in the air, and both the butterfly spirit and the angry man were sucked into it.
With a thought in Gu Zheng's mind, time stopped, and the scene in the hall was fixed at the moment after the disc inhaled the butterfly spirit and the angry man.
"The way of space."
After staring at the CD in the air for a moment, Gu Zheng murmured.
"Sir, what is the function of this space method?" Miao Miao asked.
"Two possibilities are either to directly send the Butterfly Spirit and the Angry Man to other planes through this spell, or to use this spell to send the Butterfly Spirit and the Angry Man into a space similar to an immortal weapon.
." Gu Zheng said.
"Sir, what should we do now?" Meow Meow asked again.
"Now? Let's make a delicious meal first." Gu Zheng said.
Now that we know what kind of enemy Butterfly Spirit and Angry Man encountered, the next thing Guzheng has to do is to find where the enemy is. Although there is a way of time that can make time go back, in this matter, through the time method,
It was obviously unrealistic to find someone! Therefore, Gu Zheng decided to cook a delicious meal to see if he could attract any monsters, and then try to get relevant information from the monsters.
Gu Zheng killed one of the fairy bears raised in the prehistoric space and added some auxiliary ingredients to make a roasted whole bear.
As the roasted whole bear sizzles and releases oil, the aroma spreads farther and farther in all directions.
After Gu Zheng roasted a fairy bear, many ferocious beasts gathered around it. They looked at the roasted bear with a brown skin, and wet the ground with their greedy saliva.
Ordinary ferocious beasts are useless to Gu Zheng. Even if they have memories, as long as it is not a major event, their memories will not be retained for too long. Gu Zheng is too lazy to waste time searching for their souls. Therefore,
Gu Zheng had already placed several levels of restrictions on the ground. Only those ferocious beasts that could break through a certain number of levels would be searched for their souls.
There are a total of five rings of restrictions set by Gu Zheng. Nowadays, most of the ferocious beasts are isolated outside the fifth ring. A dozen ferocious beasts have entered the fourth ring, and one ferocious beast has entered the third ring.
According to Gu Zheng's original idea, he was searching for souls to enter the ferocious beast of the second ring. This kind of ferocious beast already has the strength equivalent to Daluo Jinxian. Even if it is still not very intelligent, at least the memory can be preserved for a longer time, and it can
There is a greater chance of finding useful information. But it is a pity that he has already started eating, and the ferocious beast that can enter the second ring has still not appeared.
"Sir, how about I search the soul of the ferocious beast in the third ring first?" Meow Meow said.
"There's no rush, let's finish eating first!" Gu Zheng said.
After eating another piece of roasted bear meat that was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, Gu Zheng took a sip of the fairy wine and stood up. Although there was still no ferocious beast in the second ring, he found a little thing wandering outside the fifth ring.
.
The little thing looked like a puppy. It didn't rush forward desperately after being attracted by the fragrance like other ferocious beasts. It seemed a little restrained and hurriedly turned around several times outside the circle. Although it was already drooling.
Quite a bit, but there is still alertness in his eyes.
A simple roasted whole bear, but it contains Gu Zheng's understanding of the Tao of food. Its fragrance carries the power of Tao! A ferocious beast that can resist this power of Tao must have reached the level of strength.
It is equivalent to the realm of Daluo Jinxian, and his spiritual intelligence must not be low.
"I'm not going to kill you, I just want to get some useful information from you, and then the rest of the roasted bear meat will be yours."
When using spiritual thoughts to transmit sounds, language is not a problem at all. As long as the other party is smart enough, they can understand the meaning of the words even if they speak different languages.
Gu Zheng's spiritual thoughts carried a coercive force, and the ferocious puppy was smart enough to understand the intentions expressed by Gu Zheng.
The ferocious puppy was very frightened, but it also understood the situation and did not run away. It whimpered towards Gu Zheng to express its willingness to cooperate.
"good."
Gu Zheng smiled, stretched out his hand to take the vicious puppy to his side, and then searched for its soul.
It's a pity that Gu Zheng didn't find any particularly useful information in the memory of the ferocious puppy. This guy only came to settle nearby three years ago. Naturally, he doesn't know much about what happened in the ruins. However,
Indirect information Guzheng still found one, there is a so-called 'Beast King' in this place, and it is unknown that it has survived here for hundreds of years.
After Gu Zheng did not kill the puppy and ferocious beast, but left a roasted bear for it, a 'Meteor Chasing the Moon' appeared outside the cave where the Beast King was.
The cave where the Beast King is located is only a few hundred miles away from the ruins. In the memory of the ferocious puppy, the Beast King, who looks like a toad, governs an area of thousands of miles.
