Chapter 269: The Remaining Qi from Ancient Times
The big tomb that the Gu family devoted all their efforts to explore was not a strong human being buried, and their origins were unknown.
At that time, there were monks from all races who went together, and the situation was quite chaotic. The Gu family's meager strength was not conspicuous in it.
More than two hundred years have passed since that exploration. No one has been able to dig out all of this tomb, and only the outer areas have been explored.
Since there are fragments of this level, it is certain that there are higher-level treasure fragments. Even if they cannot be repaired, they can still provide Chu Zheng with a large amount of original energy.
Chu Zheng had some thoughts about the big tomb, but he was not in a hurry.
His current strength is only at the fifth level, which is inconspicuous in the Tianwu world. It is difficult for him to control the situation in the melee between the major races.
At least, he must be close to the strength of the original body before he can join the world and stir up troubles.
…………
…………
Time is like a fleeting moment, and more than ten years have passed by in a blink of an eye.
After the Gu family took control of the entire Huoyan City, the family's power grew rapidly. In just over ten years, the power more than tripled, and it was already one of the most powerful within thousands of miles around here.
Relatively speaking, the help Chu Zheng received became more and more obvious.
In order to avoid the Bai family's previous situation from happening again, Gu Zhenxun learned a lesson from the experience, streamlined the number of blood slaves, moved them underground, tried his best to improve the quality, and then gradually hid the news.
In order to ensure that Chu Zheng had a sufficient supply of blood, he would even occasionally go into battle himself to do bloodletting.
Over the years, in order to prevent anyone from investigating Ying Chongyun's matter, Gu has been arranging people to observe the reactions of Shenhuang Dao and Chiyan Sect.
Several people from Shenhuang Dao have been to Huoyan City before. Fortunately, they all had no danger. They just made inquiries and did not conduct detailed investigations.
After hiding the blood slave, Gu did not reveal any flaws. In the eyes of the Chiyan Sect, Gu did not hurt Ying Chongyun's strength at all, and they soon made Gu's suspicion excluded.
In this regard, Chu Zheng was naturally happy to see the results. He could not be stupid enough to take the initiative to find these people to admit what he had done.
However, judging from the reaction caused by Ying Chongyun's disappearance, the identity previously stated by this person should have included a lot of bragging.
Ying Chongyun had been mentioned before and was favored by the Divine Phoenix Dao Master, but now it seems that it is purely a lie.
Within the Tianwu Human Clan, all the sects and hundreds of Taoists gathered together, and the Divine Phoenix Tao ranked among the top ten.
Taoist Master Shenhuang has already participated in the creation of nature, and has cultivated to reach the sky. He has entered the supreme realm early, is stronger than the Immortal King, and is comparable to the Immortal Lord.
If such a person was really optimistic about Ying Chongyun, even if Chu Zheng had ten lives, he would still be dead.
The line of cause and effect, in the eyes of beings in that realm, is completely invisible. With a little deduction, you can know where the real culprit is.
…………
…………
It is late autumn again, the sky has just turned dark, and there is already a bit of chill in the air.
The bluestone hall is bathed in the moonlight, exuding a hazy light and surrounded by gloom, making the surroundings seem a bit cold and desolate.
In the past ten years or so, the only people who have known about the existence of Chu Zheng have been the dozens of people left from the original war. Those who knew about it have kept silent and dare not say anything to avoid causing disaster.
Within the main hall.
Chu Zheng was immersed in the blood pool, absorbing the blood and slowly increasing his cultivation. All the green hair on his body was about to turn purple, and he was filled with Taoist charm.
Over the years, the blood sent by Gu Zhenxun has become higher and higher in grade. Basically, there are no mortals anymore, and all of them are monks.
With a large amount of blood supplement every day, coupled with the Qi refining method, his cultivation has improved by leaps and bounds.
However, practicing Taoism as a Yin corpse has caused strange changes in his body.
With the blending of yin and yang, his body is gradually transforming into a special kind of life, like a dead person returning to yang, with some vitality.
The Qi and blood coagulated in the blood vessels showed signs of melting, and the heart often trembled slightly, as if it was about to start beating again.
This feeling of being born from death made Chu Zheng gain a lot in his hazy state. He came into contact with certain laws of heaven and earth. However, due to his shallow cultivation, he could not find it in a short time. Eat it all.
Under Gu's painstaking search, Chu Zheng has received many high-grade fragments over the years. With the original energy extracted from them, he repaired two pieces of war weapons.
The first item is the Han Ling Ruler. This fragment snatched from the tomb by a member of the Gu family did not disappoint Chu Zheng. It was indeed a weapon with astonishing lethality.
However, Chu Zheng is now physically stronger, and the magic power used to activate the magic weapon soldiers is really insufficient to exert its true power.
The second item is an ancient treasure called the 'Soul-fixing Bell', which is also at the seventh level. It is a treasure that is designed to protect the soul.
His current shortcoming lies in his soul.
This body, practicing Qi refining method, is not like the original path of refining Qi and refining Qi into spirit. Although the cultivation level is improving and the physical body is getting stronger, the soul has never been How much movement.
Although his cultivation level is approaching the sixth level now, his soul is so weak that he is not as good as an Immortal Soul Condensing monk, so he needs a treasure to protect him.
In addition to the weak Yuan Shen, Chu Zheng has always had a hidden worry in his heart. Until now, he has not noticed the existence of calamity energy.
The Qi refining method is making him stronger, but the calamity aura never appears. Chu Zheng doesn’t know if there is something wrong with his perception, or for other reasons, but there is indeed no trace of calamity aura on his body. haunted.
Without the tribulation energy, Chu Zheng didn’t know whether his trip to incarnate and experience tribulations would be helpful to his body.
Tuk Tuk——
There was a knock on the palace door.
Chu Zheng stood up from the pool. His hair was soft and not stained with blood. His height had soared to nearly ten feet, and his muscles were gnarled, as if they were made of gold and iron.
Chu Zheng could not avoid the increase in physical strength, so he naturally showed some strange phenomena.
He casually took out a piece of armor, and Chu Zheng opened the door:
"Come in."
Gu Zhenxun stepped in, followed by ten people The two women all have their heads covered with pearls and emeralds, and they are all dressed in silk and tied with jade belts, outlining their beautiful figures.
Chu Zheng glanced at the yin and energy wrapped around these women, and immediately understood what Gu Zhenxun meant.
The virgin's Yuan Yin is still there, and her blood is rich. For zombies, her blood is a great tonic.
"These are from my Gu family's bloodline. They are absolutely reliable. They are all cultivated, and they are all virgins. I think they will be beneficial to the cultivation of my seniors."
Gu Zhenxun bowed. A gift with a little flattery: "From today on, they will stay here to take care of the daily life of the seniors."
As for the true identity of Chu Zheng, Gu Zhenxun and Song Zhao had already reached a conclusion after discussing it. , this must be a fallen great power, whose remnant soul has taken over the Infernal Corpse, and has so many means.
After knowing this, Gu Zhenxun has been showing his goodwill to Chu Zheng. If he serves Chu Zheng well and leaks some secret skills from his fingers, it will be enough for Gu to benefit him endlessly. From his generation, he will be able to establish a rule that will last forever. the foundation.
Ten women stood behind Gu Zhenxun, trembling with fear, their faces pale, and their eyes filled with suppressed fear.
The huge figure wearing armor in the distance has scarlet eyes, wings on its back, green face and fangs, and looks like a Yaksha Shura. Just looking at it will make you tremble with fear and make you unable to sleep well all night.
If you stay with him for a long time, you will be scared to death. Even from a few feet away, Chu Zheng could detect the chaotic heartbeats of these women and couldn't help but shake his head:
"No need, I will leave tomorrow."
Although the blood of these women is of some benefit to him, it is not in large quantity and has low cultivation level, so it does not have much value.
If it accumulates over time, it may be of some use, but he is no longer prepared to spend more time in Gu's family.
Now that he is about to enter the sixth level of cultivation, he also has two seventh-level treasures to protect himself, and he is already qualified to explore that big tomb.
The most important thing is that while staying in Gu's, the restorer's experience level rises too slowly.
He wants to maximize the experience of the restorer as much as possible, so that he will be more sure of his future actions.
"You... are leaving now?"
Gu Zhenxun's expression was stagnant, and he explained in a panic:
"I didn't mean to stop senior, but when you The great kindness you owe me to protect my Gu family has not yet been repaid, so you left like this. It’s hard for me to feel at ease..."
He said it sincerely, but there was some truth in it, some truth in it. Only he himself knows clearly about the division of leave.
Seeing that there was a turn of events, the ten women standing behind Gu Zhenxun all breathed a subtle sigh of relief. They were serving an inferi personally, and they might die on the spot one day.
"No need."
Chu Zheng raised his hand and handed out a red ball, and said slowly: "This thing is called 'molten bead', it can gather and store blood, you can continue as usual Help me collect blood. I will come and get it when I have time in the future.”
The molten beads are a refining method that Chu Zheng obtained from the Dongyuan Realm. It is perfect for storing blood. For his current situation, It's quite practical.
“…Yes.”
After a while of silence, Gu Zhenxun finally did not dare to disobey Chu Zheng and bowed down to receive the molten bead.
Looking at the blood-colored ball in the palm of his hand, he sighed secretly, at least it has not been completely broken yet, and there is still room for friendship in the future.
Before he could react, Chu Zheng threw out a storage ring again: "These things should be regarded as compensation for the Gu family's hard work over the years."
For more than ten years, Mrs. Gu has saved him a lot of trouble. Being able to practice so concentratedly and improve his cultivation realm is inseparable from Mrs. Gu.
After seeing clearly what was placed in the spiritual ring, even though Gu Zhenxun had been through the storm for a long time, he couldn't help but hold his breath, and it was difficult to recover for a long time.
Piles of magical artifacts, as well as some classics and scriptures.
These are all from the fragments collected by the Gu family, some fourth- and fifth-order rags, and a few sixth-order ones. They are of no use to Chu Zheng.
Chu Zheng has never calculated the exact number of things in it, but it is estimated that it is a large number for Gu.
"This... this junior dare not accept it."
Gu Zhenxun stood with his head bowed, the hand holding the spiritual ring trembling slightly, not to mention those magic weapons and weapons, those classics and scrolls, just The thing he wanted most all along.
However, this gift given casually by Chu Zheng was too heavy for Gu.
It was so heavy that Gu Zhenxun felt a little unreal and vaguely frightened.
Whoosh——
Suddenly there was a soft sound, and the evil wind entered the palace. Gu Zhenxun suddenly raised his head, and there was no trace of Chu Zheng in front of his eyes.
Obviously, Chu Zheng didn’t want to waste any more words with him and chose to leave early.
After a while, Gu Zhenxun took a deep breath, waved his hand, and motioned for the women behind him to disperse.
Then, he sat directly on the floor and began to study several of the techniques, his eyes filled with extremely excited light.
Through the skills in his hands, he has almost seen the glorious future of the Gu family's sudden rise.
…………
…………
After leaving Huoyan City, Chu Zheng's destination was clear and he headed straight for that ancient tomb.
Now his appearance is very eye-catching and it is easy for others to spot him, so he put on some disguises.
For the current Chu Zheng, the false magical power can only be used to a certain extent. He has restrained his purple hair, showing a strong body, but the yin energy that penetrates the bones is still difficult to block.
But I finally have a three-dimensional human appearance, and it doesn’t look too scary.
Going out at night and day, and gathering information, Chu Zheng arrived at the tomb half a month later.
This place is extremely far away from Huoyan City. It is rare for the Gu clan to find such a far place.
The person buried in this large tomb is not a human race. The identity and strength of the owner of the tomb is unknown. He has been around for a long time, at least nearly ten thousand years.
Throughout the ages, countless groups of powerful people have come, but this tomb has never been opened and is extremely mysterious.
The more difficult it is to open, the more it arouses the curiosity of creatures of all races. Even if they cannot go deep inside, they still want to explore nearby.
A nameless city was born because of this.
This city spans more than 200 miles. There is a mixture of fish and dragons in the city, and there are all kinds of forces. There are constant frictions on weekdays.
Fortunately, there is a powerful enough creature in the city who can barely suppress the situation, otherwise people will die every day.
Chu Zheng restrained his aura and stepped into the city. Although he was disguised, the moment he entered the city, many people secretly glanced at him because they noticed the astonishing aura in him and found that he was obviously Not a human race.
In this regard, Chu Zheng could only pretend to be ignorant and began to silently collect the secrets about that big tomb.
Soon, he exchanged a piece of fifth-level magic weapon for some information about the tomb, simply and directly.
This large tomb, on the surface, only stretches for more than 30 miles, but in fact there is a universe inside, covering an area of tens of millions of miles, with complex terrain and dangerous environment.
Chu Zheng was so generous in his actions, which naturally attracted the attention of many people. In the process of collecting information, he had unknowingly left many people hanging behind him, with different thoughts.
After receiving the news, Chu Zheng did not stay long and went straight out of the city towards the big tomb not far away, with many creatures behind him like shadows.
It was noon, and the scorching sun was shining brightly.
Chu Zheng walked under the bright sun, absorbing the essence of Yang Qi and warming the frozen blood in his body.
This scene was seen by many creatures. For a while, some creatures retreated and stopped following him.
The yin energy is so heavy and the sun is blazing above the head, but there is no discomfort at all, which is enough to prove some problems.
Less than three hundred miles out of the city, Chu Zheng felt an ancient aura that had survived from ancient times.
Decadent, dull, and filled with evil spirits.
