Jidao: I have ten equipment slots

"Yun'er is my younger sister."

Su Donghao smiled and clasped his fists in response.

"I see."

Gu Zheng nodded, looked at the mysteriously wrapped snow-white cat beside Su Donghao, and asked casually, "How is Miss Su doing recently?"

"she's fine."

Su Donghao smiled and replied, "If General Gu is free someday, you may come to our Su family's ancestral land to play. The door of our Su family is always open to General Gu."

"Meow~!"

The big snow-white cat following Su Donghao called softly and looked at Gu Zheng with its blue eyes, blinking.

"Brother Gu, sure!"

Qing Yichan glanced at the big snow-white cat, then gave Gu Zheng a thumbs up, "There are not many people who can be recognized by the snowy cat."

In response, Su Donghao smiled and said nothing.

"really."

Yang Sanyue took over the conversation and said with a smile, "I have also heard of General Gu's name. If General Gu ever feels bored staying in Jing Country, he can contact me and come to my Shang Country. The door of my Shang Country is also open to General Gu at any time."

"Yang Xiao, meet General Gu!"

Behind Yang Sanyue, a young man with noble airs stepped forward, bowed to Gu Zheng, and echoed, "Auntie's words can represent my father. If General Gu comes to Shangguo, everyone in my Yang family will welcome him with open arms."

"Yang Xiao is the seventh prince of the Shang Kingdom." Qing Yichan introduced.

Gu Zheng nodded first, then he clasped his fists and declined politely, "Thank you, Seventh Prince and Princess, for thinking highly of me. If I go to Shang Country someday, I will trouble you two again."

"Okay, if General Gu comes, Yang Xiao will make sure to prepare a bed for him." Yang Xiao returned the greeting.

"Haha, you guys are really funny. You're trying to steal Jingguo's girlfriend while Zhong Zhenghong and the others are away."

A hearty laugh rang out, and a sturdy man in his forties in the back bowed to Gu Zheng and saluted, "Mu Yunfeng, thank you, General Gu!"

"Uncle Mu is of the Cang King's bloodline, from the north, Yuanlongdao." Qing Yichan introduced.

Cang Wang's bloodline? Yuan Long Dao?
"Yongguo?" Gu Zheng clasped his fists in return, "Mr. Mu is from Yongguo?"

"It's just that the ancestral land is within the borders of Yong State."

Mu Yunfeng waved his hand and said, "My Mu family and the Zheng family don't interact much on weekdays. We only congratulate each other on some major festivals."

The Zheng family is the royal family of the Yong State.

The conquest of conquest!

Among the ten routes of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Yong State occupied the northernmost Yuanlong Road. It was said that the people there were tough, brave and aggressive, and had the strongest fighting power.

Of course, that was the Yong army before the natural disaster.

Gu Zheng had been to Yue, Kang, and Shang, but he had never been to Yong, the northernmost country.

The distance is tens of thousands of miles, it's too far.

Mu Yunfeng’s ancestral home is in Yong State, but he appeared in the south. Did he just happen to come to the south?
Gu Zheng pondered in his heart but did not show it on the surface.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Gu doesn't know much about Yong State. I hope Mr. Mu will forgive me if I'm offended."

"No way." Mu Yunfeng shook his head and said, "General Gu, there is no need to be like this. I just said it casually. Speaking of which, General Gu's strength is probably already at the third stage of the heroic body, right?"

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Qing Yichan was shocked and said, "Brother Gu, you have reached the third stage of the heroic body? You have already condensed the divine seed? This... this..."

This is too fast!

The last time they met, Gu Zheng was still in his Haoti Heyuan form.

It's only been a few months and you've already reached the level of a noble physique and a divine seed?

"There is indeed a divine seed."

Standing at the back were a man and a woman. The woman, who was about thirty years old, had a beautiful face and a dignified temperament. She smiled and saluted Gu Zheng, "Sang Qianying, thank you, General Gu. General Gu's divine aura is admirable!"

"Sang Qianfan, thank you, General Gu!" The young man in his early twenties next to the woman followed suit and clasped his fists with a smile.

Both of them had long green hair, and the aura emanating from them made people feel like they were in a spring breeze.

"These two are the siblings from the Sang family of Qianlong Dao." Yang Sanyue introduced, "The Sang family is a half-demon lineage of the Qingtian Wutong branch, and they are quite knowledgeable in healing diseases and injuries."

Another country...

No, the noble families from other regions!

Qianlong Road, the territory of the new country.

As for the "Sky-supporting Wutong", Gu Zheng had heard of it.

It is an example of a plant becoming a monster, and it is said to be ten thousand feet tall.

A giant tree monster thousands of feet tall!

"Brother Sang, Miss Sang, you are polite."

Gu Zheng clasped his fists in return and his eyes fell on Sang Qianying, "May I ask Miss Sang, are you also in the third stage of the heroic body? Have you condensed the divine seed?"

"Yes."

Sang Qianying smiled and replied, "My god seed is life energy, and my sensing ability is quite special, so I can see General Gu's cultivation. I spoke too quickly just now, so please forgive me if I have offended you."

"Hey, I pointed it out first."

Mu Yunfeng interrupted and said, "If anyone wants to apologize, it should be me."

"You two don't have to do this."

Gu Zheng smiled and said, "That's nothing. By the way, how did you get into this floating area?"

"General Gu doesn't know?" Yang Xiao wondered.

"... This, Brother Gu really doesn't know." Qing Yichan came back to his senses, rubbed his brows, and smiled apologetically, "I forgot to tell Brother Gu, mainly because I didn't know Brother Gu's strength and cultivation before."

"The nine regions of the Nine Heavens Shadow Realm can actually be sensed through the 'God Seed'. Concentrate your mind and use the 'God Seed' to sense the heaven and earth, and you will be able to discover the nine regions. Then, as long as you lock on to one of them, you can jump between regions."

"That is, enter a certain area!"

Qing Yichan said, looking at Sang Qianying, "We are here thanks to Sister Sang's help."

"……I see."

Gu Zheng understood and thought to himself.

The divine seed actually has such an effect.

But you can understand it if you think about it.

If this ability had not been discovered, how would one have discovered that the “Nine-Layered Heaven Shadow Domain” had nine areas?
It can't be imagined out of thin air!
……

Although he knew the new method of converting areas, Gu Zheng did not try it immediately.

I chatted some more with Mu Yunfeng, Yang Sanyue, Sang Qianying and others, mainly about the situation in the floating island area.

They found that they didn't understand much either, because not long after they came in, they were attacked by an eagle-headed demon with a human body.

The scope of their activities is limited and they cannot provide effective information.

But there is one thing that all seven of them agree on.

That's why it's dangerous here!

It's not the threat brought by the eagle-headed monster, but the potential threat that is invisible and coming from all directions at all times.

It was like a hidden and powerful enemy, lurking in the dark and watching them.

This feeling started with Sang Qianying, and then everyone discovered its existence after deeply sensing the surroundings.

After listening to it, Gu Zheng tried to sense it.

I didn't find any invisible peeping...

Although I didn't notice it, I didn't let my guard down.

Gu Zheng has experienced invisible peeping.

In the ice and snow area, he discovered the living snow. With the sweep of the Chiyuan Sword, the snow turned into snow beasts and fled.

Obviously, there are similar things in this floating island area.

What will it be?
……

After some casual chatting, Gu Zheng said goodbye to Mu Yunfeng, Yang Sanyue, Sang Qianying and others and continued to fly around.

Compared to locking the area through the "God Seed" and then jumping in.

Gu Zheng prefers the killing conversion area.

After entering the "Nine-Layered Heaven Shadow Realm", the total number of demon points gained by killing demons and ancient demons has exceeded 120,000!

Half of the 200,000 demon points needed to break through the king body were completed in one go.

Gu Zheng decided to accumulate 200,000 before leaving the "Nine-Layered Heaven Shadow Domain".

There is another Void Divine Stone in his hand.

Combining the two, advancement to the King Body Realm is just around the corner!
……

If you want to accumulate 200,000 demon points, you naturally need demons.

However, the floating island area is very strange.

Apart from saving Mu Yunfeng, Yang Sanyue, Qing Yichan and others, and killing the eagle-headed monster, Gu Zheng flew for two days and did not encounter any other monster, let alone the ancient monster.

The invisible sense of being watched that Sang Qianying mentioned was actually noticed the next day.

It was not Gu Zheng who discovered it through deep perception, but the "other party" jumped out on his own and followed Gu Zheng.

No matter where Gu Zheng went, he would follow behind.

Gu Zheng searched up and down, left and right, but couldn't find the exact location, and had no idea what it was.

The demon wasn't found, but the invisible spying was getting closer and closer.

Gu Zheng gave up searching.

Concentrate your mind, activate the four divine seeds, and integrate into the heaven and earth.

As a result of this integration, he could sense that the surrounding heaven and earth was divided into nine major parts.

Each piece gave him a different feeling.

Snow and ice, vast mountains and forests, endless deserts...

After confirming the past in each area, Gu Zheng finally chose an area that made him feel empty and began to lock on it.

The so-called locking is to resonate with the "God Seed" to reach the regional space. As long as the frequencies are consistent, cross-regional conversion can be achieved.

Gu Zheng’s four divine seeds resonated together.

Two of them quickly reached a resonance.

Swish!
The perspective changes and the space transforms.

Gu Zheng’s eyes blurred and he left the floating island area and entered a vacuum area.

To be precise, it’s the starry sky!

He actually came to the starry sky!
Empty, dark, and vast.

Within the field of vision, there are only two semi-arc-shaped outlines of the world in the front right, emitting a hazy light, glowing faintly in this dead starry sky.

The eighth area of ​​the "Nine-Layered Heaven Shadow Domain" is actually a starry sky!
The two semi-arc-shaped world outlines in the front right are, if nothing unexpected happens, the Great Zhou world and the demon world!

These two worlds are not planets, but planes where the sky is round and the earth is square.

As for other stars, there was not a single one within sight.

Starlight and the like don't exist at all.

There is no sun either.

Gu Zheng looked at it from an unknown distance.

The edges of the Great Zhou world and the demon world are already connected by hundreds and thousands of silk threads.

These silk threads are undoubtedly the passage between the two worlds!

Standing in the starry sky and looking at the two worlds from afar is also a rare experience.

After reading it, Gu Zheng’s mind was immersed in the “divine seed” and he left decisively.

There are no monsters for him to kill in this starry sky.

Eight areas, converted one by one.

Only one left!
However, when Gu Zheng sensed the ninth area through the "God Seed" and tried to lock it, he suddenly felt a palpitation deep in his heart.

Danger!

Extremely dangerous!

The ninth area is extremely dangerous! ?
Gu Zheng raised his eyebrows.

After thinking about it, I decided to give up and not take the risk.

The area sensed by the "divine seed" switched to the area of ​​ice and snow.

The next moment...

Swish!
His figure flashed and disappeared from the dead starry sky.

Just after Gu Zheng left, in the dark area not far behind the area where he had stood before, a dark red vertical pupil comparable to a star suddenly opened...

……

……

call! Phew~
Snow and ice area.

The snowflakes in the sky are still floating and falling.

Swish~swish!
Gu Zheng held the Chiyuan Sword in his hand, and with magical power surging, he slashed out with burning sword energy, melting the thick snow.

Returning to the ice and snow area, I naturally wanted to pick more Tianmen Snow Lotuses.

The Tianmen Snow Lotus grows in the snow. How can you find such a thick snow unless you melt it and run? Sure enough, after the Chiyuan Knife slashed out twenty sword auras, the originally dead snow suddenly "came to life" and turned into snow beasts, running away into the distance.

The snow, which was several meters thick, was suddenly swept away like a blanket, revealing the hard frozen soil underneath.

Gu Zheng put away the Chiyuan Sword at the right time and followed leisurely behind.

A demon-slaying seal appeared in his hand, and a magical power surged. He input a message and passed it to Zuo Lingfeng.

If Zuo Lingfeng moves to the ice and snow area, he will most likely receive it.

It is true that killing a large number of creatures can change the area.

The threats in the first seven areas are limited.

But if you go to the eighth area, you're doomed.

Going to the ninth area is just courting death.

Zuo Lingfeng didn't know about this situation, so Gu Zheng naturally had to inform him.

He planned to spend a day in the ice and snow area.

If Gu Zheng didn’t receive a reply from Zuo Lingfeng within a day, he would have to run away.

Putting aside their comradeship, the acquisition of the Heaven-Slaying Halberd was owed to Lord Zuo Lingfeng.

It was neither reasonable nor moral for Gu Zheng to watch Zuo Lingfeng trapped to death in the "Nine-Layered Heaven Shadow Domain".

……

As it turned out, Zuo Lingfeng's luck was not that bad.

He also switched to the ice and snow area.

After Gu Zheng followed the large number of snow beasts running all over the ground and picked two Tianmen Snow Lotuses, he received a reply from Zuo Lingfeng.

Immediately, Gu Zheng changed direction and flew over quickly according to Zuo Lingfeng's information.

Call ~
call!
Snowflakes were everywhere, shattering layer by layer.

In less than half a minute, Gu Zheng found Zuo Lingfeng.

The latter was fighting with a group of ice monsters in a small valley.

These ice monsters are made entirely of ice. After being shattered and exploded, they scattered all over the ground, turned back into ice and snow, and then reassembled themselves to continue attacking Zuo Lingfeng.

refuses to die?
There is no soul fire like the Bone Demon, which can be completely killed by extinguishing it.

Although Zuo Lingfeng was very powerful, he was unable to do anything to them.

"Brother Zuo, I'll lend you a helping hand!"

shuh~
Gu Zheng wielded the Chiyuan Sword, and supernatural power surged as he slashed out with burning sword energy, melting the snow on the ground and the large amount of ice debris scattered on the ground.

"Acridine~!"

A shrill scream suddenly rang out, echoing through the valley.

The ice monsters that were besieging Zuo Lingfeng screamed in unison, then abandoned Zuo Lingfeng and fled in all directions.

The ice chips and snow scattered on the ground also rolled away like a snowball.

Gu Zheng did not chase after them, but watched them go away.

The main reason is that after these ice monsters were killed, there was no shed blood, let alone monster essence.

"Brother Gu, thank you!"

Zuo Lingfeng put away his weapon and saluted Gu Zheng.

Then, he slapped the hard frozen soil layer that appeared after the snow escaped.

Boom~
With a dull thud, a hole was formed in the frozen soil, with cracks all around the edges.

A Tianmen Snow Lotus popped out from the bottom and was grabbed by Zuo Lingfeng in his hand.

Ok?
Can Tianmen Snow Lotus jump by itself?
Gu Zheng glanced at it and raised his eyebrows, "Isn't this the Tianmen Snow Lotus?"

In appearance, it is very similar to the Tianmen Snow Lotus, but the one in Zuo Lingfeng's hand has particularly developed roots, and its tentacles are like hands and feet. Even now that it has been grabbed, it is still twisting constantly.

"It's the Tianmen Snow Lotus, but this one has become a spirit."

Zuo Lingfeng replied with a smile, "I chased it into this valley. It hid underground and let the ice monsters attack me. The little thing is obviously quite intelligent."

“It’s definitely not low.”

Gu Zheng was surprised and amazed when he heard this, "The ice and snow here move, the Tianmen Snow Lotus also moves, maybe the stones will move too."

"Stone monster? I've encountered it before." Zuo Lingfeng said as he tore the Tianmen Snow Lotus in his hand into pieces. He found the Tianlian seeds, took out half of them and threw them to Gu Zheng.

Gu Zheng didn't hesitate and accepted it.

"Speaking of which, Brother Gu, you came at the right time."

After packing up the Tianmen Snow Lotus, Zuo Lingfeng said seriously, "According to what you said, the opening time of the 'Nine-Layered Shadow Realm' is about to end and it will be closed again. I was planning to give up on those ice monsters just now and find other monsters to kill, change areas, and go to the entrance of the Shadow Realm."

"Is that time coming?"

Hearing this, Gu Zheng raised his eyebrows.

According to his calculations, it would take at least three days for the "Nine-Layered Heaven Shadow Domain" to close.

After Zuo Lingfeng said this, Gu Zheng suddenly realized how fast time passed during the short time he spent in the eighth area, in that dead silent starry sky.

The starry sky is a vacuum and the flow of time cannot be sensed.

If it is not calculated intentionally, it is indeed difficult to detect.

"Then let's go."

Gu Zheng shouted softly, his mind connected with the "divine seed", integrated into the heaven and earth, and sensed the nine major areas.

Select them one by one and lock on the first area you enter.

"Brother Zuo, grab my shoulders." Gu Zheng said.

"Okay." Zuo Lingfeng quickly reached out and grabbed Gu Zheng's shoulder.

Swish!
Scene changes.

From the snowy valley to a dirt slope.

On all sides of the slope, there is desolate yellow land, stretching out with no end in sight.

“This is the first area.”

Gu Zheng said, "Let me sense the direction of the entrance to the Shadow Realm again."

Through the "Divine Seed", one can accurately sense the location of the vortex entrance.

This is also the unique ability of the "divine seed" after it is integrated into the heaven and earth, Sang Qianying said.

"it is good."

Zuo Lingfeng took two steps back, observed his surroundings and took precautions.

hum~
Gu Zheng closed his eyes and used the "divine seed" to connect heaven and earth and sense the fluctuations in space.

The space where the entrance to the shadow zone is located has the most violent fluctuations.

Soon, Gu Zheng locked the location.

"found it."

After opening his eyes, Gu Zheng stopped the operation of the divine seed and called out, "The entrance is over there, let's go."

As soon as he finished speaking, he tiptoed and flew out.

Zuo Lingfeng followed behind.

Call ~
call!
A dry strong wind blows.

The two flew side by side at low altitude.

Not long after, Zuo Lingfeng also sensed the abnormality of space fluctuations.

Just about to speak...

“Boom~!” “Boom~!” “Boom~~!”

Rumbling thunder, accompanied by dull loud noises, suddenly came from in front of the two people.

Swish!

Gu Zheng and Zuo Lingfeng stopped immediately.

Focusing his eyes and looking into the distance, he saw three figures colliding rapidly in the sky.

Zuo Lingfeng didn't recognize him, but Gu Zheng recognized him at a glance.

"Xiao Xing?"

I don’t know what’s wrong with this half-king of the Xiao family, he’s fighting with others again.

The people fighting this time are Feng Wuji and Qing Yuanfeng.

Both of them are in the third stage of the Heroic Body and Divine Seed.

Even after joining forces, they could only barely compete with Xiao Xing.

"Walk."

Gu Zheng called out to Zuo Lingfeng and continued flying, approaching the entrance of the Shadow Realm.

As soon as you approach the entrance area.

"stop!"

A group of four people suddenly rushed over and blocked their way.

The leader was Xiao Duguang from the Xiao family. He glanced coldly at Gu Zheng and Zuo Lingfeng.

"If you want to go out, open all your storage bags!"

Open the storage bag?
Gu Zheng's heart moved, and he realized the reason why Xiao Xing and Feng Wuji were fighting.

Void Divine Stone!

In order to obtain the Void Divine Stone, Xiao Xing guarded the entrance to the Shadow Domain and forcibly checked other people's storage bags in an attempt to find the Void Divine Stone that he had stolen!

He glanced at the three rows of people standing behind Xiao Duguang, and they were none other than Fu Jinlong, Yong Xingdian, and Zhong Zhenghong.

These three had previously teamed up to fight against Xiao Xing.

Now, for the sake of the Void Divine Stone, he also stands on Xiao Xing's side.

"Safety!"

Call ~
A strong wind blew, and Nangong Yaoguang rushed over quickly with a few people.

Li Cunyi is one of them.

"Ping An, don't waste time talking to them, let's rush out together!"

Nangong Yaoguang called out.

"rush out?"

Xiao Duguang shouted coldly, "Just you guys?"

"Just because..."

boom!
Boom~!

Two loud noises were heard in the sky.

Whizzing!

Accompanied by the sharp sound of breaking wind, Feng Wuji and Qing Yuanfeng fell from the sky like meteors falling to the ground.

The whistling sound and powerful energy pressed the air, making a continuous strange noise.

Boom~boom!
There were two muffled sounds and the ground shook. It was Feng Wuji and Qing Yuanfeng who fell on the yellow earth, creating two holes. The splashed stones and soil were scattered everywhere.

"Uncle Wuji! Uncle Six!"

Nangong Yaoguang's face changed and he rushed over quickly.

Li Cunyi and others followed behind.

While running, a miraculous voice was transmitted to Gu Zheng.

"Xiao Xing of the Xiao family has gone crazy, saying that a treasure has been stolen. He blocked the exit and is searching the storage bags of everyone who left."

...That's what I knew!

Gu Zheng nodded calmly.

Swish~!

The afterimage flashed.

Xiao Xing descended from the sky and appeared in front of Gu Zheng and Zuo Lingfeng.

"Crackling~"

Xiao Xing, with arcs of electricity surrounding him and an intimidating aura, stared at Gu Zheng and the other man expressionlessly and spoke indifferently.

"Open the storage bag."

“…” Zuo Lingfeng clenched his fists, shock and anger flashing in his eyes.

Open the storage bag?
What a joke!
Gu Zheng also frowned.

Although his important things were all placed in the storage leaf, there were also many other things.

For example, a storage bag full of the corpse of a giant snake ancient demon!

In addition, the storage leaf also has spatial fluctuations, although they are very weak.

If you conduct a close inspection, there is a high probability that you will be discovered.

Half of a divine weapon, Void Divine Stone, Giant's Heart, Holy Wood Spirit Flame, God Hunting Arrow...

If these things were exposed, not to mention Xiao Xing, even Zhong Zhenghong, Yong Xingdian, Fu Jinlong and others would be tempted!

"Why, do you want me to do it myself!?" (End of this chapter)
