Chapter 119: Golden Light Mask (3/3)
An Yuemei and the three girls soon ended their challenge, but An Yuemei and Lin Fengxiang still ended in failure. The power of the Tianling bloodline was not enough to allow them to cross two small realms and defeat the enemy, but Gu Zi successfully broke through the third layer.
She obtained a Spirit Sea Boundary-level magic weapon, third-grade!
This is a dagger, entirely emerald green, small and exquisite, looking very beautiful. This also means that Gu Zi can use this treasure to gain an 80% increase in power before breaking through the fetal boundary!
Linghai realm-level artifact, and the quality is so high. If this news gets out, I guarantee that all the open heaven realm masters in the entire Hansong country will be moved - even the masters of Langyue country will be attracted!
Fortunately, the level of a law enforcement tool cannot be known without personal use, so as long as Gu Zi is careful, there's nothing to worry about.
The black donkey knew there was such a good thing, immediately entered the second level challenge, broke two levels in a row, and gained two rewards. However, this cheap donkey had no intention of sharing with others, and escaped from the Jiuxuan Trial Tower, but it's unknown where it hid its things since its body didn't have any pockets.
"This donkey must have some great secret!"
All four of them nodded in agreement, this black donkey was suppressed underground for so many years without dying, and it could still sneak into here quietly, absolutely not simple. However, the black donkey had always kept its origins a secret, making it too difficult to get anything out of its mouth.
This cheap donkey has run off again and it's unknown when it will appear again.
Zhou Heng and his four companions arrived at the Zhen Qi Ge, where the law instruments were stored. However, it was absolutely impossible for any of them to be of the Ling Hai level, let alone the Shan He level.
The quality of a magic tool is not only divided into grades, but also has levels. A first-grade magic tool can indeed increase one's power by tenfold, but it also depends on whether it is from the Spirit Gathering Realm or the Initial Separation Realm or the Mountain and River Realm. A martial artist from the Spirit Gathering Realm can use a magic tool from the Mountain and River Realm, but not the other way around. If they try to use a higher-level magic tool, it will only cause the array within the tool to explode, rendering it into an ordinary sharp and sturdy object.
The magical instruments in the Zhenqi Pavilion are divided into five rooms, namely Jiling Realm, Chufen Realm, Pidi Realm, Kaitian Realm and Shanhe Realm. Each room is further divided into ten racks of weapons, categorized from tenth grade to first grade.
Of course, the current weapon rack is basically empty now.
Four rooms, a total of six magic weapons were left. The Gathering Spirit Realm had one, which was fifth-grade; the Initial Division Realm had two, both of which were fifth-grade; the Earth Splitting Realm had one, which was fourth-grade; the Heaven Opening Realm had one, which was fourth-grade; and the Mountain River Realm had one, which was sixth-grade.
Every room had several people circling around the weapon racks, but the power of the ban was too great. Although it had been worn down over the years, it was still not something that a beginner could withstand.
Zhou Heng also tried, but it was impossible to block. He thought that maybe when he reached the peak of the initial division, he could try to force his way through, but now it was absolutely impossible.
None of them are possible, let alone An Yumei's three daughters. Lin Fengxiang didn't even try, she still has some self-awareness.
"Let's go, we're going to Wu Jing Ge!"
The four of them walked out of the Zhen Qi Ge, but Gu Zi suddenly stopped in her tracks, fixing her gaze on a corner and saying, "You all go ahead!"
"What's wrong?" Lin Fengxiang asked anxiously. She was just displeased with An Yumei, but had no grudge against Gu Zi.
"Do you need help?" Zhou Heng asked, guessing it must be related to Gu Lu.
"No need, this is a battle between me and her!" Gu Zi's expression was cold and detached as he gazed at the corner, "Gu Lu, let's settle this once and for all?"
As the voice fell, a woman in white walked out from the corner, with a face identical to Gu's, but her chest was flat. She had a smile on her face, but her voice was eerily cold, saying: "To the death!"
"Come!" Gu Zi let out a soft whistle and sprang into action, bounding towards the Spiritual Grass Garden.
Gu Lu first gave Zhou Heng a smile full of murderous intent, then sprang into action, following closely behind Gu Zi.
If it weren't for this man, Gu Zi would have died long ago! However, it doesn't matter, she has reverse luck, and previously in the Zhen Qi Ge, she obtained a first-rank five-grade magic weapon, which is two levels higher than her original seven-grade magic weapon, increasing her combat power by 20%!
She and Gu Zi were originally evenly matched in strength, with a 20% increase in combat power, she was sure to win!
Although they were twin sisters, the two women not only had no affection for each other, but were actually sworn enemies. She couldn't wait to see Gu Zi's shocked expression when she discovered her sudden surge in power.
……
"Will she be okay?" Lin Fengxiang asked worriedly.
"Don't worry!" Zhou Heng shook his head, "She will definitely win!"
Gu Xi actually learned the Five Elements Lotus Breaking technique, a top-grade Earth-level martial skill. With the help of Ming Yu's Bee Honey, he broke through to the second layer of the First Division Heaven. He also had a three-piece artifact that could be used until the Spiritual Sea Realm, and his combat power changed dramatically!
It would be strange if this couldn't guarantee a sure win.
"Isn't she coming anymore?"
Zhou Heng thought for a moment and said, "No more waiting!"
It's easy for Gu Zi to defeat Gu Lu, but it's another matter to kill him. Gu Lu found that he couldn't defeat his opponent and wouldn't fight to the death, even if they fought for a whole month.
To avoid trouble, Zhou Heng took Lin Fengxiang into the Jiuxuan Trial Tower. She was a Ling Spirit Realm cultivator, and her cultivation level could be seen at a glance. Although Lin Fengxiang was unwilling and had no choice, An Yumei was delighted and smiled as she hooked her arm around Zhou Heng's and went to the Wujing Pavilion.
This is also a key location in the Great Yuanshen Sect, a place that all forces dream of emptying.
Kung Fu, Martial Arts!
The quality of a cultivation technique represents the speed at which one cultivates, as well as the difficulty in breaking through boundaries. A high-quality Earth-grade technique and a low-quality Human-grade technique can create differences as vast as heaven and earth between two people with the same innate talent when it comes to their cultivation progress.
The Great Expansion Sect was able to suppress the other thousand sects and become the master of the Cold and Grey Country, wasn't it because they possessed a top-grade Earth-level cultivation method? And the Heavenly Star Sect was able to take over, also because they had a mid-grade Earth-level cultivation method, which gave them an advantage from the very beginning.
Therefore, the Wujingge naturally became the most important thing. If they could obtain the Zhēn Pài Gōng Fǎ of the former Dàyǎn Zōng and accumulate for several decades or hundreds of years, it would not be difficult to turn their own sect into a second Dàyǎn Zōng, replacing the Tiān Xīng Zōng.
When Zhou Heng and the others arrived, they saw that there were at least a hundred people here. Some had targeted this place from the beginning, while others had come after sweeping through other areas.
The one-month deadline is approaching, and this will become the most intense battleground.
However, the scene in the Wujing Pavilion was a surprise to both Zhou and Heng, as this building had been half-destroyed. On the floor of the first floor, there appeared a huge semi-circular golden light cover, like half an eggshell, which had burst through the roof.
There is no gongfa, wuqi, all of this has become a ruin.
This halo must have appeared recently, otherwise it's impossible that so many people would still be coming here to find the kung fu method, but how could such a strange thing appear?
Formation? Restriction? Teleportation Gate?
This thing is too eerie, no one dares to touch it easily, in case it triggers a fatal or disabling attack, who can you cry injustice to?
Everyone was talking about the golden light shield, and some were even throwing bricks and stones at it. The sound of the stones hitting the ground was crisp and clear, but no one dared to be careless despite not being hurt.
Perhaps this seal is lethal only to living things?
The more one knows, the more cautious they become. If it were an ordinary person, they would be completely unaware of the numerous dangers in the world and might have already reached out to investigate. However, the people here are mostly top-notch martial artists from various major sects, each being a key cultivation target for their respective factions. Their insight and thought processes are all top-notch.
They knew that there were too many things in the world that could kill people invisibly, and what was this place? The heavy land of Taiyi Sect, it was naturally a killing land among killing lands. Suddenly, a golden light shield appeared, can you still judge with common sense?
Everyone was in a heated discussion, and no one was making trouble at this time. Even the usual enemies were now too busy to care about their grudges, and everyone's attention was focused on this golden mask.
This might be a great disaster, but it might also be a great opportunity!
The downfall of the Great Expansion Sect is inexplicable, and according to everyone's speculation, it was erased by an extraordinary strong being. However, why that strong being did so remains a mystery! Or perhaps, that strong being left behind some legacy here?
Everyone's eyes turned red at this thought!
Being able to wipe out the existence of Dahyunjong with a flick of one's hand is not something that can be done by someone in the Spiritual Ocean Realm. At the very least, it would require a super strong practitioner in the Fetal Realm. If such a legacy were possible, then even if it weren't said, it would still be possible to reach the Fetal Realm. But as for the Mountain and River Realm and the Spiritual Ocean Realm, can't you just imagine?
That's enough to dominate in the Cold Country, and even if placed in Langyue Country, it would be treated with courtesy and recruited by various major forces!
Because of this and that consideration, yet with strong expectations, the crowd neither dared to rush forward nor was willing to leave, so they just lingered on.
Zhou Heng was also very curious, and after sweeping the surrounding areas, he sat down with An Yumei to observe the situation, leaving Lin Fuxiang bored and venting his frustration by eating and drinking in the Jiuxuan Trial Tower.
Time passed quickly, and there were only seven days left until the deadline of one month. The closer the time came, the more anxious everyone became, and they all showed a eager-to-try attitude, but dared not to take action.
In the Spirit Realm, a martial artist can go without food or drink for ten days to half a month. What's more, this is only the initial stage of separation. Because as long as one stays here for over a month, each person can bring at most two to three dry rations and clear water, which is enough to keep their body in peak condition.
Zhou Heng had prepared a large amount of food and water in the Jiuxuan Trial Tower, but in order to keep the secret of the treasure tower, he couldn't enter it openly and could only suffer hunger and thirst with everyone else.
Being able to go a month without eating doesn't mean you won't feel hungry, it just means you've increased your endurance limit.
"We can't keep waiting like this!" a man in a green robe finally exclaimed loudly.
"Yu Fa Ming, are you volunteering to go and take a look?" someone burst out laughing.
"Hmm, it's inevitable that someone has to go and take a look, but who to send is something we need to discuss. Why don't we just draw lots?" said the man known as Yuan Faming.
"No need to draw lots!" A melodious voice rang out, and Nangong Yue looked at Zhou Heng with a stern gaze. "Everyone is a pillar of the country, and none can be spared! Zhou Heng, now is the time for you to serve the country!"
