Chapter 523: Hope Becomes Extravagance

Dong Chengzi died after fighting with Gu Zheng for less than a minute without even a chance to counterattack.

When Gu Zheng took back the Chaos Tower, Dong Chengzi had been smashed into a meat pie.

"What's wrong with you?" Gu Zheng smiled.

Whether it was Du Wei, Wuyou and Wuchou, they all remembered clearly when Gu Zheng became a cultivator, but it had only been a short time, and his cultivation had reached the initial stage of returning to the void. If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they really couldn't imagine it.

"Master, Master is mighty! Congratulations to the Master, Congratulations to the Master!"

Du Wei had experienced a lot, and he was the first to react. Although he was a little stuttering, he still took the lead in congratulating.

"Master is mighty! Congratulations to the Master, Congratulations to the Master!"

Wuyou and Wuchou also reacted. While they congratulated Gu Zheng, their eyes were full of excitement.

At first, Gu Zheng was captured by them and brought to Emei to be the headmaster. Later, they also saw Gu Zheng's extraordinaryness. Although they had long known that Gu Zheng's cultivation progress speed could not be measured by common sense, this time he advanced from the initial stage of Qi transformation to the initial stage of returning to the void, and the time he used was really short to an unimaginable degree.

Gu Zheng nodded and smiled, then said: "Clean up the battlefield and see if there is anything to gain."

"Okay!"

Wuchou responded and went to clean up the battlefield happily.

"I didn't expect that the people who came back from the prehistoric world would actually set their sights on Emei! If they dare to harass Emei, I will make them go without return!" Gu Zheng smiled coldly.

According to the spirit of the weapon, the highest level of cultivation for those who have temporarily returned from the prehistoric world is the peak of returning to the void. With Gu Zheng's current cultivation, he is not afraid even of the peak of returning to the void!

"It is estimated that this Dong Chengzi saw the vision that the Emei Tower was about to be successfully repaired, and then was attracted." Wuyou said.

"I'll share these medicines with everyone later. These are real immortal pills." Gu Zheng gave 80 of the 100 immortal body pills he got from the nine-story tower's storage room to Wuyou. He originally wanted to keep some of these pills for cooking Dan Yuan Shi Xiu, but the incident with Dong Chengzi today made him decide to keep most of them in the sect. If he was not in the sect one day and a similar situation happened again, he would have better conditions for treatment. "Master, is this an immortal pill for healing?" Wuyou knew the general effect of the pill as soon as he smelled the fragrance of the pill. "That's right. For the injuries you have now, eating a piece of raw meat that can be seen with the naked eye." Gu Zheng said. "It can be imagined how precious this pill is to repair the immortal body." Wuyou held the bottle of pills tightly, but he was reluctant to eat any of them. After all, he had already taken the Yu Lu Pill and the wound on his chest had scabbed. "Congratulations, Master, for completing the restoration of the Emei Tower, which has further strengthened the strength of our Emei Sect!" Du Wei congratulated Gu Zheng again.

"The primary restoration of the Emei Tower has been completed. You can also practice more in the 'energy battlefield' in the future, and strive to fight against others, and no longer suffer the loss of no divine thoughts." Gu Zheng patted Wuyou on the shoulder.

"Yes!"

Wuyou and others said in unison.

"Master, we found a fairy jade bottle and a mustard seed bag from him."

After cleaning the battlefield, Wuchou handed the spoils to Gu Zheng.

Gu Zheng did not reach out to take it: he smiled and said: "Second Grand Elder, you recognize the mustard seed bag as your master and see what is inside. As for this fairy jade bottle, I will give it to the fourth Grand Elder."

The ranking of the several Grand Elders of Emei is based on seniority. Among them, Ouyang Hai is the oldest, so he is naturally the Great Grand Elder. Du Wei is the second oldest, and is considered the second Grand Elder. Jia Si is the third oldest, Wuyou is the fourth oldest, and Wuchou is the fifth oldest.

"Thank you, Master!"

Du Wei and Wuyou thanked at the same time.

Happy to recognize the mustard seed bag as the master, Du Wei understood that this rare space fairy weapon would be his in the future.

There are not many things in the mustard seed pocket, some refining resources, some food resources, and basic fairy secrets.

The quality of the food resources is okay, at least ordinary level, and there are four medium-level ones, after all, Dong Chengzi came from the prehistoric world. As the saying goes, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. Gu Zheng believes that he is already relatively poor as a cultivator who can come out of the prehistoric world.

After putting the medium-level ingredients into the prehistoric space, Gu Zheng ordered Du Wei to send the rest to the Emei treasure house.

When Gu Zheng returned to the sect, the atmosphere in the Emei Square seemed a bit lively.

Emei Sect is not only home to Emei disciples, but also to disciples from Shushan and Kunlun, who are the ones who come to use the ‘Energy Battlefield’.

They naturally knew that the Emei Tower was in the process of repair. Today, the repair of the Emei Tower is about to be completed, and Gu Zheng did not hide it from them. After all, the strange phenomenon when the repair is about to be completed can even alarm people like Dong Chengzi, let alone those in the Emei Sect.

"Master Gu, congratulations! I never thought that the Emei Tower could really be moved like a fairy weapon!"

The elders of the Shushan Sect clasped their fists to Gu Zheng, their eyes full of envy.

Since ancient times, many people have had the idea of ​​​​Emei Pagoda, but since Emei Pagoda was put into Emei by Master Changmei, it cannot be moved. Although it has an enviable 'energy battlefield' within it, it is still unimaginable that one day it can be reduced in size and taken away like an immortal weapon. After all, although Gu Zheng did not hide from them that Emei Pagoda was in the process of being restored, he did not tell them that the restored Emei Pagoda would be an immortal weapon capable of both offense and defense.

"Master Gu, are our Kunlun disciples okay?" asked the representative elder of the Kunlun Sect.

"It's okay, they are all still fine in the tower!"

Gu Zheng stretched out his palm, and the Chaos Tower held in his palm flew back to its original position and returned to its previous size. The repair of the Chaos Tower does not affect the use of the 'Energy Battlefield', so the disciples of the Shushan Sect and the Kunlun Sect are still in the Chaos Tower.

"Sir Gu Gu, what level of immortal weapon is the restored Emei Pagoda considered to be?" the Kunlun faction representative asked again.

"Advanced Immortal Weapon."

Gu Zheng's voice paused, and then he smiled and said: "Everyone, please excuse me Gu, the Emei Pagoda has just been restored, and there are still some things waiting for me to deal with."

According to the weapon spirit, the intact Chaos Tower must be a top-level fairy weapon, and it is very likely to be the top among top-level fairy weapons. But the Chaos Tower that has been repaired now only has twenty-two floors. Such an immortal weapon can only be regarded as a high-level immortal weapon.

"Please, Master Gu!"

The Shushan elders and Kunlun representatives said in unison.

You must abide by the rules of Emei when you are in Emei. These are the rules set by Gu Zheng in advance for outsiders who want to use the 'energy battlefield'. The elders of Shushan and the representatives of Kunlun, although this meeting is near the Chaos Tower, there are only those who have cultivated in the late fifth floor. They didn't know what was happening outside the mountain gate. Gu Zheng took away the Chaos Tower before and chose to fly with a sword because he did not want to expose his identity as an immortal cultivator now.

"Right."

Gu Zheng, who walked to the gate of the tower, stopped and turned around and said: "The repair of Emei Tower has been completed and the new 'energy battlefield' will be put into use soon. Please inform your respective sects of this matter and ask them to send representatives to discuss the matter as soon as possible." Bar!"

"Isn't it bad?"

"Yes, it would be better for Master Gu to report such a major event in person."

The Shushan elders and Kunlun representatives shook their heads.

"We are not ordinary people. There is no need to stick to trivial matters. You can report it! I have to hurry up and deal with the matter on my side. If you have to let me report it, it will have to wait until a few days later."

Gu Zheng smiled slightly, ignored the two representatives, turned around and entered the Chaos Tower. Anyway, if something like this happens, even if the ancient dispute is reported to Shushan and Kunlun, as representatives in Emei, they will also report it to their respective sects. Since the ancient dispute is like this, they don't bother to bother.

"Master, how do you feel?"

As soon as Gu Zheng entered the Chaos Tower, Jiaojiao immediately spoke.

Listening to Jiaojiao's proud voice, Gu Zheng understood that he was referring to using the Chaos Tower to kill enemies.

"It's great! I finally fulfilled my dream of becoming the King of Pagodas."

Gu Zheng smiled and then said: "Jiaojiao, tell me how to use the second 'energy battlefield'. I want to go in and experience it."

"I have activated the second 'Energy Battlefield'. The master only needs to enter the fourteenth floor of the Chaos Tower, and then just like entering the original 'Energy Battlefield', you can start to break through." Jiaojiao said.

"Okay, I'm going to experience the 'Energy Battlefield', and you can also go take a look at the new nine-story tower, find out what materials are needed to repair it, and then tell me." Gu Zheng said.

"As you command, my master!" Jiaojiao smiled.

After entering the 14th floor of the Chaos Tower, Gu Zheng followed the method of entering the 'energy battlefield' before, and then his eyesight went dark, followed by light again.

There was a colorless barrier in front of him, and there was nothing else. If Gu Zheng hadn't judged from the alternation of light and darkness that he had indeed entered the 'energy battlefield', then he would really have thought that he was in the wrong place.

Gu Zheng separated out the energy light spots and hit the five-color barrier.

"Crack!"

The unbearable colorless barrier shattered, and Gu Zheng frowned. After taking a step forward, the light in front of his eyes dimmed, then brightened again, and he appeared in front of the next colorless barrier.

"All right!"

Gu Zheng shook his head and smiled, knowing what was going on.

Gu Zheng did not ask Jiaojiao carefully what the new 'Energy Battlefield' looked like, but when Jiaojiao first proposed to repair it, he said that this new 'Energy Battlefield' was related to divine thoughts and could train immortal cultivators. Divine thoughts can even allow cultivators who do not have spiritual thoughts to develop spiritual thoughts in advance.

After experiencing the first level of the 'energy battlefield', Gu Zheng finally understood that the colorless barrier was actually the 'energy battlefield'. If you are someone who does not yet have spiritual consciousness, if you want to pass the first 'Energy Battlefield', you can only try to break through the colorless barrier with mental piercing. If you can't even penetrate with mental power, then you can only try slowly at the first level until you can break the colorless barrier with mental power.

The colorless barrier in this second level also exercises mental power, which is of no use to Gu Zheng who has been able to launch spiritual attacks. Therefore, as soon as his spiritual light point touches the colorless barrier, the colorless barrier The barrier was immediately broken.

Gu Zheng took another step forward. After his vision experienced changes from darkness to brightness, he appeared in the third 'energy battlefield' again.

There is also a colorless barrier in front of him, and there is nothing else.

As soon as Gu Zheng's divine light touched the colorless barrier, the colorless barrier was immediately broken.

Taking a step forward, after the light changed, Gu Zheng appeared in the fourth 'energy battlefield'.

It was still a colorless barrier, but there was something inside the barrier.

In the space inside the barrier, there were more than ten tiny bright spots, which were floating up and down like fireflies, flying very slowly, and looked leisurely.

As soon as Gu Zheng's divine light touched the colorless barrier, the colorless barrier was also broken immediately.

After the barrier was broken, the light spots that were originally leisurely, as if attracted, immediately floated towards Gu Zheng's divine light.

Touching death, touching death, all the small light spots next to Gu Zheng's divine light were extinguished.

For about two minutes, Gu Zheng's divine light did not move at all, and more than ten tiny light spots had disappeared without a trace.

"According to the current situation, the first three 'energy battlefields' are for people without divine consciousness to cultivate divine consciousness, and starting from the fourth 'energy battlefield', it is time for cultivators who already have divine consciousness to practice how to launch attacks with divine consciousness. However, my divine consciousness can already condense into light spots, and this kind of practice is useless to me." Gu Zheng thought.

Moving forward again, Gu Zheng, who had passed the fourth 'energy battlefield', soon appeared in the fifth 'energy battlefield'.

The fifth 'energy battlefield' is very similar to the fourth 'energy battlefield', except that the colorless barrier has a stronger resistance to divine consciousness, the tiny light spots in the barrier become larger and more numerous, and the overall strength is also improved, but this still has no effect on Gu Zheng.

The sixth 'energy battlefield' is considered an upgraded version of the fifth 'energy battlefield', but this still has no effect on Gu Zheng.

Entering the seventh 'energy battlefield', Gu Zheng's eyes can't help but light up.

"Finally, I have come to a useful 'energy battlefield', but this 'energy battlefield' is much less difficult than my 'purgatory' magical power."

The scene in front of Gu Zheng is very similar to the 'purgatory' where he trains his mind. They are all scenes of a lava cave. After Gu Zheng's mind light spot broke through the colorless barrier, the lava cave, which was almost still, immediately caught fire.

There are rocks falling from above, lava gushing from below, and a lava fish will jump out of the lava from time to time to block the advancement of the mind.

This level of 'energy battlefield' may be very challenging for a cultivator who has just condensed a mind light spot, but he is still too weak for Gu Zheng.

Three minutes later, although Gu Zheng was not hit by any attack, his sight changed and he returned to the tower.

Gu Zheng understood that the time for the 'energy battlefield' had come. Just like his 'purgatory' magical power, this kind of place for training the mind has a time limit.

"The training effect is worse than that of 'Purgatory', and the existence time is also shorter than that of 'Purgatory'. I wonder what the next 'Energy Battlefield' will be like." Gu Zheng thought.

He took a step forward, and the light in front of him dimmed, and then immediately brightened again.

"Isn't this 'Purgatory'?"

Gu Zheng, who entered the eighth 'Energy Battlefield', opened his eyes wide.

There were rolling fireballs falling from the sky, and the magma on the ground sprayed high, and turned into fire rain when it fell. The flaming fish flying out of the lava would gather more and more if they were not killed! This is exactly the same scene as Gu Zheng's 'Purgatory' magical power.

With the experience of going through 'Purgatory' many times, Gu Zheng was also very successful in the eighth 'Energy Battlefield'.

Five minutes later, Gu Zheng's divine consciousness was still not attacked once, but when the light in front of him dimmed and brightened again, Gu Zheng had appeared in the Chaos Tower.

"This is really an excellent venue. The spirit of the weapon said that the 'Purgatory Pill' is a very precious thing even in the prehistoric world. However, the 'Energy Battlefield' of the Chaos Tower is full of similar magical powers. This has to be said that this immortal weapon is really very powerful!"

"However, the effect of the eighth 'Energy Battlefield' is still much worse than that of 'Purgatory'! But even so, the 'Energy Battlefield' with such an effect is enough to make today's immortal cultivators envious!" Gu Zheng thought.

Gu Zheng's 'Purgatory' magical power was only five minutes at first. Every time he passed the level, the time increased by one second, and the upper limit was seven minutes. And Gu Zheng can play for seven minutes every time in 'Purgatory'.

In 'Purgatory', the divine consciousness is strengthened very quickly. When Gu Zheng used 'Purgatory' for the first time, he only played in it for more than ten seconds, and the spirit of the weapon said that the degree of his divine consciousness enhancement was equivalent to the average person's cultivation for several years.

Just as the immortal essence required for the improvement of cultivation is increasing, if the divine consciousness wants to become stronger, the accumulation of years of cultivation also needs to be longer and longer. Moreover, there is a similarity between the advancement of divine consciousness and the advancement of cultivation, that is, there is a bottleneck.

The perception that a cultivator must have when he wants to become a cultivator and advance to the late fifth level can be considered a bottleneck. If he cannot break through this bottleneck, his strength cannot be improved, and this has no direct relationship with the time of cultivation.

Gu Zheng's divine consciousness strength has already reached the bottleneck, so his cultivation in "Purgatory" no longer enhances the strength of divine consciousness, but only seeks the opportunity of breakthrough.

Under normal circumstances, only those who have reached the Return to Void realm can condense their divine thoughts into light spots and have the ability to kill practitioners with divine thoughts.

Dong Chengzi, whom I met today, is an anomaly. Apart from him, the only people Gu Zheng has met who can launch divine thoughts attacks are Ouyang Hai, Wei Fengxing, Xuan Qizi, Yufeng Shangren, and Wei Fengting.

Among them, Ouyang Hai and Wei Fengxing's divine thoughts are stronger than Yufeng Shangren and Xuan Qizi, while Wei Fengting's divine thoughts are the weakest. These five people represent the three stages of divine thoughts in the Return to Void realm. As for Dong Chengzi, he can barely be regarded as the same level as Wei Fengting's divine thoughts.

Gu Zheng's current divine thoughts are equivalent to the peak of the Return to Void realm. If the strength of divine thoughts is likened to immortal power, then the means of attacking divine thoughts can be regarded as immortal skills. Whether it is the richness of immortal power or the exquisiteness of immortal skills, these are very important things.

For example, Ouyang Hai and Wei Fengxing both have the means to turn the divine light spots into divine light balls to attack. Yufeng Shangren and Xuanqizi are not as good as them in this regard, and Wei Fengxing is even more incomparable.

Before becoming an immortal cultivator, Gu Zheng, due to the advance deployment of Tiexian, combined his mental power with the divine thoughts of the spirit of the weapon, and became a divine body, he took the lead and experienced a variety of divine attacks in advance, so he has many divine attack methods! Anyway, if he and Ouyang Hai compete with divine thoughts, Ouyang Hai is definitely not an opponent.

To advance the divine thoughts to the next level, the divine body needs to be condensed into a light ball, not temporarily turned into a light ball when attacking. For this, Gu Zheng does not know when his breakthrough opportunity will appear.

Gu Zheng actually has high hopes for the "energy battlefield" in the nine-story blood tower that can train divine thoughts.

The cultivation in the ‘Purgatory’ could no longer make Gu Zheng’s mind stronger, but the ‘Energy Battlefield’ of the Chaos Tower could make Gu Zheng’s mind stronger again, which was extremely unusual! Because he allowed a normal person to break the upper limit of the accumulated cultivation!

When Gu Zheng passed the ‘Energy Battlefield’ in the new nine-story tower body some time ago, he chose to cultivate his mind in the second ‘Energy Battlefield’. And that time, Gu Zheng’s mind was really enhanced, although not much, but it was also a little enhanced.

Although the new nine-story tower body has not been added to the existing twenty-two-story tower body, the ‘Energy Battlefield’ in it can still be used.

During the period of repairing the Chaos Tower, Gu Zheng also went to the new nine-story tower body to cultivate, but it was a pity that in the nine ‘Energy Battlefields’, the cultivation of the immortal arts and skills that had been cultivated no longer had the incredible effect before, just like the cultivation in normal occasions. The same is true for the cultivation of the mind!

According to Jiaojiao, the 'energy battlefield' in the new nine-story tower has a better effect for the first clearance. Even if it is completely repaired in the future, it will no longer have the effect of 'first kill'.

For this reason, Gu Zheng has great hope for the 'energy battlefield' in the 'nine-story blood tower' that is specially used to train the divine mind. He hopes that the 'energy battlefield' here can make his divine mind, which has encountered a bottleneck, increase its power again. However, according to the current situation, this hope should become a luxury!

"Hope has become a luxury. Is there a little loss?" The spirit of the weapon said.

"It's okay! Even if it can't enhance the power of the divine mind, this is also a rare place to practice the divine mind. In addition to the great benefits to the disciples, I can also be more familiar with the skills in this practice. Maybe one day I will really have inspiration for enlightenment? Who can tell about opportunities!" Gu Zheng smiled slightly.

"Well, you are right. Attitude is very important. Keep it up!" The spirit of the weapon said with an air of old-fashionedness.

After rolling his eyes at the weapon spirit, Gu Zheng stepped into the last energy battlefield.

According to Jiaojiao, there are as many ‘energy battlefields’ as there are floors in the tower, so this is also the last ‘energy battlefield’.
