Qingshi County.
The county seat, Gu Family Courtyard.
Gu Zheng was sitting on the roof, maintaining the operation of "Da Luo Yan Tian Shu".
The unification of the three realms has now reached a critical moment. There is only one last step left to completely integrate the spiritual realm, realm, and region, and hit the road to the imperial body.
But this last step has never been completed, just a little bit short.
Gu Zheng could vaguely sense that there was something lacking in this point, but he couldn't catch it even if he wanted to.
What's bad?
Gu Zheng knew not to rush, so he felt calm.
The more urgent it is at this time, the less likely it will be accomplished.
In addition to maintaining the operation of "Da Luo Yan Tian Shu", other thoughts are empty.
……
outside the city.
On the broad hilltop.
Gu Zheng's fake body never left. Suddenly, he turned around and looked east.
I saw a familiar figure flying across the sky.
Xu Jianzhu!
Xu Daduzheng is here again.
"Gu Zheng."
Xu Jianzhu stopped in the air a hundred meters away from Gu Zheng and said, "The patron king proposes that we have a battle with you to determine the outcome. Whoever wins will get the Red Moon Covering the Sky Sword."
A duel to determine the ownership of the Scarlet Moon Blade?
It's... not bad.
Gu Zheng knew very well that the Zhong family would not give up the Scarlet Moon Covering the Sky Sword, and it was impossible for the Zhong family to grit their teeth and admit it.
But the Zhong family didn't dare to break up.
It's not that Gu Zheng is confident, but that when things have developed to this point, no one can take a step back.
Spirit beast, half-demon, king's blood, magic weapon.
These four-line aristocratic families are actually divided into high and low families.
It’s not just a single person, but the family as a whole. In terms of overall strength, the Divine Weapon lineage is the strongest!
Why do you say that?
First of all, it is the most difficult for a lineage of spirit beasts to gain momentum. Whether it is the start of a natural change, the time required for the awakening of spirit beasts, or the number of spirit beasts, they are all limited.
The Yong family of the Yue Kingdom, the winner of the Feng Kingdom, was able to seize an area and create a vassal state, relying on thousands of years of accumulation, and their spiritual beasts are also quite special.
It would be difficult for the Tang family and the Su family, a family of spiritual beasts, to grow.
Then there is the half-demon lineage. When awakening the power of the bloodline, the risk is actually very high, especially when the half-demon power is activated for the first time, there is a high chance of losing control and becoming a demon.
The destruction of the Zhang family by the Yuan family is an example. There have been more than one such example over the past tens of thousands of years.
As for the king bloodline, although there is no risk in awakening, the momentum is fast, and the potential is very good, it is still not as good as the divine weapon lineage.
That's time!
Starting from the alien body, stepping into the super body, then breaking through the heroic body, and finally the king body.
It takes time to take these four steps step by step.
No matter how talented you are, it takes decades.
Even if Gu Zheng failed all the way, it took him nearly two years to be promoted to King Body.
If the King's Blood Family lacks the King's Body to take charge, it will soon fall into decline.
But for a family of divine weapons, this flaw has been suppressed.
Because the divine weapon itself can exist for thousands of years, or even tens of thousands of years.
The power of the divine weapon's self-destruction, even the second stage of the king's body did not dare to resist.
As long as the children of the aristocratic family are not dead, they can call on the power of the magic weapon.
Again, it’s the Zhang family’s example.
If the Zhang family was a family of magic weapons, it would have been impossible for the Yuan family to be destroyed when they lost control and went on a killing spree.
Because the power of the divine weapon is enough to resist!
Just like the Xiao family, they have the magic thunder gun, but when the Xie family comes knocking on the door, they don't dare to use force.
Regardless of competing for help, they obeyed humiliatingly and served the Xie family from then on.
The Xie family didn't dare to destroy them at all.
Taken together, with a cadre of magic weapons, a family can survive for thousands of years!
Not an exaggeration.
If Gu Zheng really died, and the rest of the Gu family survived secretly, and each mastered one of these two magic weapons, the Sky-Slaying Halberd and the Crimson Moon-Shielding Sword, then it would be possible to avenge Gu Zheng in the future.
The Zhong family was unwilling to give up such a magical weapon, so how could Gu Zheng give up?
Now Zhong Zhengqiong proposes a duel, which is undoubtedly a last ditch effort.
"Okay."
Gu Zheng's fake body didn't think much and agreed, "The winner will be decided in the duel. Whoever wins the Red Moon Covering the Sky Sword will get it. But this matter needs to be made known to the world. During the duel, all major aristocratic families are invited to watch the battle. If the patron king agrees, ten In the future, we will have a showdown at Mianjiang Lion Peak!”
"...I will convey it."
Xu Jianzhu took a deep look at Gu Zheng's fake body, turned around and left without saying anything, and hurried back to the ancestral home of the Zhong family.
Tell the world and invite all the major families to watch the battle. The purpose is very simple, to nail this matter!
There was a secret fight in private. Zhong Zhengqiong lost, but the Zhong family did not give up and continued to stir up trouble. Gu Zheng fought back. If the matter spread, some people might accuse Gu Zheng of being despicable and a villain.
The Zhong family gave him real skills to practice. After Gu Zheng succeeded in practicing, he stole the magic weapon.
A complete villain!
Although Gu Zheng didn't care, it would be a bit disgusting if this kind of thing really happened.
After telling the world, if Zhong Zhengqiong loses again and the Zhong family is determined to cause trouble, then Gu Zheng will become the party who is taking advantage of the situation!
……
Xu Jianzhu came back quickly.
Gu Zheng pretended to be on the top of the mountain and waited for less than half an hour before Xu Jianzhu returned.
"The patron king agreed."
Of course you have to agree!
Gu Zheng gave in. If Zhong Zhengqiong disagreed, the rest of the Zhong family would agree.
From the information known to the Zhong family, Gu Zheng has at most entered the second stage of the royal body.
Therefore, Zhong Zhengqiong's action is enough to suppress it.
If it was Zhong Duxiu, then Gu Zheng would refuse directly, and the Zhong family would be dumbfounded.
Zhong Zhengqiong, just right!
"Both sides" think they will win!
……
……
Zhong Zhengqiong agreed, and Gu Zheng also agreed.
The news of the two men's decisive battle at Mianjiang Lion Peak spread quickly.
The major aristocratic families were shocked again, and then went into an uproar.
"What's going on? Isn't Gu Zheng from Jingguo, or the demon-slaying general of the Demon-Slaying Division? Why is he suddenly dueling with Zhong Zhengqiong?"
"Yes, a duel is not a competition. It is about victory or defeat, and life and death! The Zhong family is out of their minds. Are they going to break up with Gu Zheng and start a duel?"
"No, both parties agreed to a duel, which means they haven't broken up yet. Tsk tsk, this matter must not be simple. What did Gu Zheng do that made Zhong Zhengqiong not hesitate to duel with him?"
"It's said that there are many famous people, but why is this person so powerful that he is in so much trouble? Gu Zheng just destroyed the Han family, and just a few days ago, he is facing off against the Zhong family again!"
"..."
The major families who received the news had different reactions from curiosity, confusion, and shock.
However, they were very interested in the decisive battle at Mianjiang Lion Peak ten days later and went to watch the battle.
All major aristocratic families basically know how strong Zhong Zhengqiong is.
That was the second strongest person in the Zhong family, only lower than Zhong Duxiu.
As for Gu Zheng, the king's body has the fastest breakthrough in thousands of years, and he can be called a monster.
There is a high probability that it is also the second stage of King Body. It is no exaggeration to say that the duel between these two people is rare in a thousand years.
……
Yue country.
Royal capital, inside the royal palace.
"Hahaha, the Zhong family is definitely out of their minds, actually dueling with Gu Zheng? What do they think? Gu Zheng is a member of their Jingguo, a natural member of their own family, and they actually want to duel with Gu Zheng, Zhong Zhengqiong, Zhong Duxiu is absolutely confused!”
Yongxingzhou laughed loudly in the main hall.
"I'm afraid things are not simple." Yongxingzhen thought more, "If we hadn't been forced to the last step, there was really no choice, the Zhong family would not have made such a decision."
"Yes, once this duel comes out, no matter what the outcome is, Gu Zheng will not stay in Jingguo anymore." The head of the Yong family pondered, "We may be able to find an opportunity to win over Gu Zheng."
"This..."
Yongxingzhen frowned, "Let's first find out why Gu Zheng and the Zhong family came to a duel, and then we can talk about it."
"I'll find out."
Yong Xingzhou waved his hand, "Ten days later, the decisive battle at Mianjiang Lion Peak? How could such a lively scene be without me? Hahaha!"
Amidst the laughter, Yongxingzhou turned into an afterimage, rushed out of the hall, and went straight into the sky.
……
Shang country.
Royal capital, inside the royal palace.
"Interesting, interesting."
Yang Yiding was in the main hall, with one hand behind his back and the other touching his chin, turning around and mumbling at the same time.
"What's the point of this?" Yang Sanyue said speechlessly, "If you ask me, we take this opportunity to win over King Gu, which is the right way. Zhong Zhengqiong is not an easy person. If King Gu loses, it will be a big loss. The probability is that we can’t leave.”
"I think it is more important to find out the reason why Gu Zheng and the Zhong family came to a duel first." King Shang thought, "Only when we know the reason can we make a conclusion."
"You just think too much."
Yang Sanyue glanced at him, "Based on the several meetings I have had with King Gu, King Gu is by no means a despicable and sinister person. The fact that he and the Zhong family have come to this point is most likely caused by foreign objects."
"No matter what it is, it's better to find out." King Shang responded with a smile.
"It's about finding out."
Yang Yiding stopped turning, touched his chin and said, "I'm going to inquire about this matter. If the Zhong family can force a duel, and Zhong Zhengqiong takes action himself, the matter will definitely not be simple!"
……
Yong State.
"Haha, the Zhong family is going to be in trouble this time, it's going to be in trouble!"
Zheng Weiyang laughed excitedly, "Gu Zheng is surrounded by five kings! No matter what the reason is that the Zhong family and Gu Zheng are in this situation, they will not be able to take advantage in the end! If Gu Zheng loses, if the Zhong family stops here, then It's okay. But if the Zhong family takes the opportunity to kill them, they will be in trouble!"
“Whether it’s Zhong Zhengqiong or Zhong Duxiu, there’s no good fruit to be had!”
Gu Zheng brought back hundreds of people from the demon world, including hundreds of powerful people and five kings.
No one in the Zheng family told this matter.
Once he told the others, there would be no benefit in telling him, and it would only make Gu Zheng angry in vain.
Gu Zheng had just helped them a lot and had built up a good friendship. Wouldn't it be foolish to reveal Gu Zheng's secret at this time?
Secondly, I just want to see other people’s jokes.
I didn’t expect this joke to come so soon.
For some unknown reason, the Zhong family argued with Gu into a duel. No matter what the outcome, the Zhong family's strength would be reduced.
Once those people under Gu Zheng break out, Jingguo will be destroyed if not destroyed.
The demise of Jing State was naturally a good thing for Yong State.
After all, there is one less potential opponent.
"It's a pity that we can't win over Gu Zheng."
Zheng Jiuyang sighed.
Gu Zheng is a "country" in his own right and there is no need to join other aristocratic families.
"We can't win over others, and neither can anyone else."
Zheng Weichao said, "With Gu Zheng's strength, no matter what conditions anyone offers, they can't impress him. We are actually very lucky. We were able to make friends with Gu Zheng before and have a relationship. If we keep in touch in the future, we will basically not get along. .”
"That's the truth." Zheng Jiuyang nodded.
"Would you like to go and watch the decisive battle at Mianjiang Lion Peak?" Zheng Weiyang asked.
"You still need to ask? Of course you go!" Zheng Jiuyang stood up, "I'll go and see for myself!"
……
Kang State, Xin State, Feng State, and Li State.
Royal families from various countries were interested in discussing why Gu Zheng had a falling out with the Zhong family, and they all wanted to watch the duel at Mianjiang Lion Peak.
The outside world is abuzz.
Qingshi County.
In another courtyard of the county town, Gu Zheng sat cross-legged on the roof to maintain the operation of "Da Luo Yan Tian Shu".
The ten-day period was the time he had fought for.
The aim is to complete the unification of the three domains within this time.
However, the last step was just a little bit too close to catch.
During the ten-day period, the first day passed quickly, the second day also passed, the third day, the fourth day...
In the blink of an eye, five days passed.
Gu Zheng still couldn't seize that little opportunity for integration.
Time is getting less and less, so it’s time to worry whether you are in a hurry or not.
Unable to catch it, after much thought, Gu Zheng pretended to summon the four alien clan leaders, Sen Taibai and Bo Taixing, again.
The unique skill "Da Luo Yan Tian Shu" is not described.
Regarding the relationship between realms, spiritual realms, and regions, Gu Zheng pretended to be asking them for advice.
Three eyes, two ears, toothless, and hidden spirits, the four races have been passed down from ancient times. They may know some secrets about space.
This is what Gu Zheng wants to know. Knowing some information from other people's mouths may trigger some insights.
"We don't know much about the mysteries of the realm." Sen Taibai said first, "Since we were trapped in the 'Ice Prison', the realms of our four tribes are all frozen realms."
"Yes. We don't have much understanding of the domain, and the same goes for the region. The entire space of 'Ice Prison' is just a frozen world. But because of this, we have some understanding of the mystery of the spiritual space."
< br>
Bo Taixing said, "The so-called spiritual space is known to be anchored in a big world. It is like this in the current world, and it is like this in the demon world. But according to our observations, why the spiritual space is formed, and how it is attached to the big world in the end, are all It’s related to the base point of space!”
"The base point of space?" Gu Zheng's avatar quickly asked, "Tell me carefully."
"Okay, the so-called space base point is the name given by our four races. In fact, this base point refers to a certain thing!"
Bo Taixing continued, "It is also a special strange object with space power! It is this space strange object that gathers power in the big world, thus giving birth to the spiritual space. Because of it, the spiritual space can also be affiliated with the big world."
"In most cases, after this spatial wonder is born in the spiritual space, it will disintegrate and merge into the spiritual realm, but there are also some rare space wonders that have survived due to various opportunities."
"If we can find these rare space objects, it will be very easy to consolidate the spiritual space and connect to the big world."
"The formation of the 'Ice Prison' is caused by the remnants of rare space artifacts, including the mutations in the 'Chrysalis Pool', which are all related to this space artifact, but we can't find it." Wu Taidu agreed.
"That..."
Ji Taihao's voice sounded hesitantly, "Um, I seem to have seen this rare space object again." (End of Chapter)
