Jidao: I have ten equipment slots

Got a rare insect.

The "Nine Breaths and Nine Insects Divine Art" has always been there.

The only things missing to condense the "Death God Seed" are the demonic skills and the positive pole and negative pole birth.

This demonic skill is linked to demons such as the Devouring Zerg. Next, we have to continue hunting them!

However, the Salt Tribe got help from the Dionysus worm and improved rapidly.

Now that the Dionysus worm has been taken away by Gu Zheng, it will be difficult for them to improve in the future.

Considering that the Bacchus worm was only encountered thanks to the relationship with the Salt Tribe, it only took four jars of wine to subdue it.

Gu Zheng thought about it, took out the spoils of war that he had never used before, more than a dozen mid-grade and low-grade spiritual weapons that were originally not allowed to see the light of day, and gave them to the tribe.

In addition, those injured in this demon attack were also healed all at once through the field of life.

Dunmu Shitu is very grateful for this.

Although the divine insect was taken away by Gu Zheng, there will be no more "divine liquid" in the future.

But the spiritual weapons given by Gu Zheng were enough to offset it.

After all, the amount of "magic liquid" is limited, and a maximum of three people can take it at a time.

More than a dozen spiritual weapons can continue to exist, greatly increasing the strength of more than a dozen soldiers.

Since the establishment of the Youyan Tribe, there has been only one spiritual weapon, and it was broken.

The dozen or so spiritual weapons given by Gu Zheng were all intact, which made them very happy.

What’s even more gratifying is that after Qingshan woke up, he successfully broke through to the Silver Moon level warrior!

Dunmu Xitu knew very well that without Gu Zheng’s intervention, even if Qingshan would not die, he would not be able to break through.

After all, the sacred insect is not the private property of the Salt Tribe.

The Shenchong tribe and the Youyan tribe only have a trading relationship.

……

When Qingshan broke through to the Silver Moon Warrior level, that is, stepped into the Super Physical Realm, Gu Zheng had already left and he did not know what happened next.

Take the high-altitude route and continue north.

Along the way, we encountered two more tribes, both of which were quite large.

But Gu Zheng did not go down to contact him again.

The Salt Tribe came because they sensed the breath of the strange insect.

In fact, these barbarian tribes are quite hostile to the people of the Great Zhou.

Only the King Body Realm makes them in awe and dare not offend.

"The King from Far Away" is not a good title.

Because some kings came to the Northern Wilderness, and when they saw the tribes of the wild people, they destroyed them easily.

People like Gu Zheng who are willing to interact and have a friendly attitude are among the minority.

Most of them ignore it.

For this reason, there was no need and Gu Zheng was too lazy to contact them.

All the way north, spanning tens of thousands of miles.

After flying over a frozen area, there was no road ahead, only a chaotic sea of ​​space connected by the world barriers.

This was the first time Gu Zheng saw the end of the world.

Strong gale was raging in the sky above, and the vision was cloudy and changing every moment and every second.

Of course, ordinary people can't see this.

Only with Gu Zheng's sharp eyes can one see the true face of the end of the world.

The ancient battlefield is in the space sea and cannot be seen. It depends on luck to find it. The consequence of rushing in directly is that there is a high probability of getting lost.

Gu Zheng came here this time to take a look at the situation first.

Compared to others, he had a deep enough understanding of space, and it would be no problem for him to find the ancient battlefield by relying on his spiritual perception.

Walking casually along the edge, sensing the surroundings.

Suddenly, Gu Zheng's gaze focused on a figure not far ahead.

someone!

An old man sitting cross-legged on an ice-carved stone, wearing a cloak woven from rattan, facing the sea of ​​space, sitting motionless.

Gu Zheng sensed several auras from him.

One of them was very strange, like the power of a domain, and also like the power of a magic weapon. One end was tied to the old man, and the other end went deep into the sea of ​​​​space.

Another one is the force of life!
This old man who looked like an ice sculpture was actually a priest?
Dunmu Xitu said that in the Northern Wilderness, only priests have control over the power of life.

It may be difficult for others to perceive what the life force is, but Gu Zheng, who possesses the life field, discovered it at the first moment.

It was precisely because of this discovery that it was confirmed that the priest was not a king body. The life force in the old man's body was not only not the power of the domain, but was instead bound to his body functions.

To put it simply, when the old man releases his life force, he is actually consuming his own physical functions.

This function is a combination of many aspects such as body, essence and blood, and spirit.

If you consume too much, you will shorten your life.

The priest revered by countless wastelanders is using his own life to save others?
Gu Zheng, realizing this, was filled with awe.

"Which king is visiting here?"

While Gu Zheng was thinking, an old voice suddenly sounded. It was the old man sitting cross-legged on the ice sculpture. He slowly turned his head and looked towards where Gu Zheng was.

The two were still more than a thousand meters apart.

"Gu Zheng, meet the old priest."

With a flash of his body, Gu Zheng crossed a thousand meters, came to the old man and bowed.

“It turned out to be King Gu.”

The old man blinked and nodded in response, "I am Cang Xuan, I am sorry that I cannot perform the ceremony, I hope King Gu will forgive me."

"It doesn't matter."

Gu Zheng raised his hand and asked with interest, "Is Priest Cang Xuan responsible for the lead? Someone has entered the ancient battlefield, and Priest Cang Xuan is guarding outside to facilitate the other party to have a clear route in and out?"

"As expected of you, King Gu." Cang Xuan smiled, "You saw through the truth at a glance. I am indeed using myself as a thread to guide others. King Gu also knows this person."

"I know him too?"

Gu Zheng was surprised, "Who is it?"

"His name is Li Cunyi now." Cang Xuan's eyes narrowed as he smiled.

"Li Cunyi, Brother Li?"

Gu Zheng raised his eyebrows, it turned out to be Li Cunyi!

"Why did Brother Li go to the ancient battlefield? What's wrong with him?"

After he finished speaking, he looked at Cang Xuan strangely again.

The old priest was actually speaking the dialect of the Great Zhou Dynasty from the beginning, and it was very standard!

"Master Cang Xuan, are you from the Great Zhou?" Gu Zheng asked.

"I am a barbarian." Cang Xuan smiled, "It's just that I was adopted by Li Cunyi's elders when I was very young. I learned both the way of priests and the practice of the Great Zhou, including the cultural customs of the Great Zhou."

"As for why Li Cunyi entered the ancient battlefield."

Cang Xuan sighed, "He had his reasons for going."

"What's the reason that would make him give up even his life?" Gu Zheng frowned.

Turning his head to look at the sea of ​​space, even though Cang Xuan was responsible for pulling it from the outside, the aura at the other end of the line was sometimes present and sometimes absent, sometimes weak and sometimes strong.

"That... let him talk to King Gu himself." Cang Xuan didn't tell him directly, "Li Cunyi mentioned King Gu to me before, saying that King Gu and his family are all very good people, and that he is the most grateful person in his life. As for his identity, he said that if he could come back from the ancient battlefield, he would tell King Gu in person."

"Pretentious."

Gu Zheng snorted, "Brother Li's surname is Wu, right?"

Cang Xuan, "..."

He opened his mouth, gave a wry smile, and was speechless.

"I guessed it a long time ago." Gu Zheng continued calmly, "The last time we met, Brother Li was evasive and said that he didn't want to implicate me. Even if I broke through the King Body Realm, I wouldn't be able to compete."

"Later, I went to Feng Country again and met the Meng brothers and sisters. Combining Brother Li's situation, I learned with a little deduction that he was a descendant of the Wu family and the only heir to the Great Zhou."

"The Great Zhou is about to end, and it is doomed to end. As for the heir, whether he is exposed or not is actually not very important. Few of the eight princes are interested in him. For example, the Emperor of Zhou was about to die, but thanks to the blessing of the source fruit born in the field, he can live for several more years. The eight princes knew about it, but he is still alive, right?"

"..." Cang Xuan sighed, "King Gu is right. Cun Yi is the one who puts pressure on himself. He fantasizes about continuing the fate of the Great Zhou and saving the people of the world."

"He really is burdening himself."

Gu Zheng complained bluntly, "Continue the Great Zhou's destiny? No one can do it. Saving the people of the world is not his responsibility, and he has no such responsibility."

"If I remember correctly, Brother Li has never seen a member of the Wu clan since he was a child. Just because he awakened the power of his bloodline, found the package left by his uncle, read the suicide note and discovered his identity, he put shackles on himself!"

“…Forget it, I won’t say any more.”

Gu Zheng exhaled and stopped complaining.

He had long suspected Li Cunyi's identity.

It was officially confirmed that he was in Feng State, and then he went to Taiping City. When he took the tripod, he met Emperor Zhou. After hearing Emperor Zhou's tentative words, he knew that the person Emperor Zhou was waiting for was Li Cunyi.

This practice of raising princes outside from a young age, away from all eyes and ears, has been common in every dynasty.

Li Cunyi and Gu Zheng established a relationship because they happened to know each other.

This guy ran into the ancient battlefield. Most likely, he learned about some powerful treasure from the ancient books left by the Wu family. This treasure was inside the ancient battlefield!

The ancient battlefield is full of dangers and murderous intentions, but also many treasures.

Li Cunyi's desire to obtain a powerful ancient treasure in order to revive the Great Zhou was simply wishful thinking.

Perhaps this ancient treasure can allow Li Cunyi to break through to the King Body, but it is definitely impossible for him to break through to the True Body Realm.

If it is not a real body, how can it subdue the eight princes?
"..."

After a moment of silence, Gu Zheng asked, "How long has Brother Li been in the ancient battlefield?"

"Almost half a year."

Cang Xuan said worriedly, "After Cun Yi went in, no news came back, and we don't know how he is doing."

"..." Gu Zheng was silent for a while, then said softly, "I hope everything goes well."

"Master Cang Xuan, I'm a little curious about the practice of your priests. Could you tell me something?" Gu Zheng looked at Cang Xuan.

"Of course, there is nothing I cannot tell King Gu." Cang Xuan smiled lightly and said calmly, "The nature of the priest is determined by its name, which is sacrifice! Sacrifice plants, sacrifice beasts, sacrifice water and fire, sacrifice thunder... and even sacrifice oneself in the end!"

"Only by sacrificing oneself, dying and resurrecting, can one be called a priest and master the power of life."

"Die first, then live?" Gu Zheng thought, "Then how to offer sacrifice?"

“It sounds complicated, but it’s actually very simple.”

Cang Xuan first happily told a tongue-twisting mnemonic, and then broke it down and introduced it in detail.

After listening for a while, Gu Zheng understood the trick.

Sacrificing oneself does not mean literally killing oneself, but rather putting oneself in a state between life and death, half-dead.

Commonly known as, fake death!
This state is easy to enter but difficult to leave.

If he doesn't wake up after the time limit, he will really die.

Gu Zheng suddenly realized that this reversal between life and death was nothing more than the rotation of the realm of life and death.
The method of sacrifice is of little help to other king bodies.

But it will be of great use to Gu Zheng to break through his true body!

It was a good decision to come to Beihuang this time.

Not only did he obtain the strange insect and the Bacchus insect, he also got a secret method to comprehend the wheel of life and death.

The key to the way of sacrifice lies in this secret method.

With it, Gu Zheng can save a lot of time on self-thinking.

"Thank you, Priest Cang Xuan!"

Gu Zheng calmed his mind and bowed respectfully to Cang Xuan.

"King Gu is too polite."

Cang Xuan was a little flustered and shook his head quickly, "Although not many people know the way of sacrifice, there are still many. King Gu does not need such a grand ceremony."

"That's different."

Gu Zheng stood up, smiled and didn't explain.

"I don't know when Brother Li will come out, so I won't wait for him."

Glancing at the sea of ​​space, Gu Zheng said, "However, I will leave a few fake bodies behind to act as guards in case others come to disturb us."

"Then...then I, an old man, would like to thank King Gu in advance." Cang Xuan thanked in confusion.

False identity?

What kind of fake body can be a guard?

This is the end of the world, and for the most part, it is deserted all year round.

Those who can come here are either at the King level or at the peak of the Hero level.

Gu Zheng himself can naturally resist them, but what about the fake body?
Cang Xuan remained confused.

Then, he saw "Gu Zheng" one after another breaking away from behind Gu Zheng and walking out.

One, two, three...

Ten!

There were ten "Gu Zhengs" moving around freely.

Cang Xuan was stunned.

In terms of aura, although these ten "Gu Zhengs" are not as good as Gu Zheng himself, they are also comparable to the king body.

Of course, this is an illusion. It may deceive people, but in reality it will be exposed with just a touch.

Gu Zheng said he was a guard, so naturally he had more than just a fake body, he also had other equipment.

Hunting arrows, sword-sealing jade talismans, piercing spears...

Each clone has two means of attack.

In this way, he could basically protect Cang Xuan and continue to connect with Li Cunyi without worrying about disturbing him.

……

Leaving behind ten fake bodies, Gu Zheng left the end of the world and returned to Jing Country.

If you encounter any demons on the way, kill them easily.

No more news was received from the Devouring Zerg.

There is another reason for going back to Fengzhou directly. The invitation to the 800th birthday of the Yang family ancestor has arrived.

The person who delivered the letter had been waiting outside Qingshi County.

On the top of the mountain.

Gu Zheng’s true form descended and he looked at a tall, bright and beautiful woman.

Yang Siyue was meditating and regulating her breathing. Suddenly, she noticed something and looked up. Seeing that it was Gu Zheng, her heart skipped a beat. She quickly stood up and saluted respectfully, "Yang Siyue, I meet King Gu!"

"No need to be polite."

Gu Zheng nodded slightly and said softly, "Miss Siyue, are you here in Qingshi County to look for me?"

"Yes, King Gu."

Yang Siyue said respectfully, "The ancestor's 800th birthday is coming soon. Siyue is here on the orders of the head of the family to ask King Gu to come to our Yang family if he is free at that time."

As he spoke, he waved his hand and an invitation letter appeared, wrapped in magic and flew towards Gu Zheng.

Gu Zheng waved his hand and took the gold-embossed invitation letter. When he opened it, he saw that it was written with the invitation written by the head of the Yang family.

It was the 800th birthday ceremony of the Yang family's ancestor.

"I will think about it."

After receiving the invitation, Gu Zheng nodded and said, "Thank you for coming all the way here, Miss Siyue."

After saying this, he slightly turned sideways, looked at the hilltop behind Yang Siyue on the right, and said calmly, "Master Xu, Miss Siyue is my guest, please don't make it difficult for me."
