Jidao: I have ten equipment slots

Gu Zheng condensed seven divine seeds and opened seven heart seas.

Three of the heart seas evolved into domains.

Giant trees, hurricanes, and prairie fires.

The remaining four will temporarily keep their sea of ​​heart open.

For others, this maintenance is very time-consuming and unstable.

Just like Xiao Xing, like a bomb that could explode at any time.

But Gu Zheng had the embryo of the Emperor's Seal, and this treasure easily suppressed it... or in other words, it fixed the opening of the sea of ​​​​heart without any other effects.

now.

The evil god's soul was annihilated, leaving behind a strange force that penetrated into the heart. Gu Zheng immediately locked onto it and sealed it in the heart.

Although during this process, the mind was shocked, as if countless people were whispering in the ear, making the person collapse, and there was also a bone-corrosive force that eroded and spread, trying to pollute.

The heart has no power to resist.

Gu Zheng decisively started the evolution and gave birth to a field.

And the direction chosen is Thunder.

What is Thunder?
Extremely strong and masculine, overbearing and fierce, able to destroy heaven and earth!

Here, Gu Zheng had a clear direction for his understanding.

destroy!

In the sea of ​​​​heart, the thunder power of destruction and annihilation is unfolding.

The evil power sealed in the sea of ​​​​heart is just the whetstone for the trial.

Crackling~
boom! boom! boom!
Gu Zheng stood still, arcs of electricity appearing all over his body.

Immediately afterwards, a purple translucent sphere extended in all directions with Gu Zheng as the center, spreading rapidly and expanding continuously.

Inside the sphere, streaks of black and gold lightning quickly appeared and then shuttled back and forth.

Only three of these thunders were born, and the evil god's power was destroyed and dissipated.

The translucent sphere continued to grow larger.

It didn't stop until it reached a hundred meters.

Crackling~
Boom!

Deafening thunder exploded, echoing high into the sky and resounding throughout the entire square.

The realm of nirvana!

The fourth area was born easily.

"Ah~!"

"Where...where am I? Where is this?"

"Dad, where are you?"

“Kill! Kill! All of you die! Go… who are you? Where is that damn Wang Laosi? I’m going to kill him!!”

"..."

In the square, shouts suddenly rang out.

The people who were originally possessed and had lost themselves, gradually regained consciousness and were shouting, roaring, terrified, or confused.

The quiet square suddenly became lively.

Gu Zheng's figure flashed and disappeared.

Deep down, relax a little.

Once the evil god's soul died, the person who was controlled by it regained consciousness. This is a good result.

……

The Zhongtian Ding is obtained.

Next target, the Wanlong Ding!
The embryo of the Human Emperor Seal was taken out and suspended in the palm of his hand, sensing the whereabouts of the Ten Thousand Dragon Cauldron.

Soon, Gu Zheng determined the location.

Fly all the way to the middle.

This time we did not choose to fly at low altitude, but flew at high altitude.

There is no human habitation within the Zhongtian Dao territory for thousands of miles.

It’s better not to watch it.

Gu Zheng flew high in the sky and followed the direction of the Wanlong Ding and flew directly over.

When he arrived at the location of the Ten Thousand Dragon Cauldron, his expression was slightly stunned.

However, on the ground, stands an ancient, weathered, solemn and majestic city.

Taiping City!
It is also the capital of every dynasty throughout history.

It was established by the first dynasty, the first human emperor, Emperor Yu.

Over tens of thousands of years, there have been renovations, reconstructions, and expansions.

This is the center of power, the center of the world.

Under the setting sun, the ancient city exudes an air of desolation, but it cannot conceal its sacredness and former glory.

Gu Zheng stood in the air, overlooking the city.

It was discovered that pedestrians were visible everywhere in the city, and there was no trace of demons outside the city.

Take out the demon-hunting pot and sense the demon.

There is not a single one within miles!
"No demons are approaching? Or... they don't dare to approach?"

Gu Zheng was slightly interested.

Even the name of this Taiping City was given by Emperor Yu.

Its meaning is simple: peace in the world.

But how can there be peace in a situation that changes once every thousand years?
Demons invade, and the noble families fight for the dragon.

Every change in situation and every change of dynasty is accompanied by countless blood.

Gu Zheng originally thought that Taiping City was surrounded by demons or had already fallen.

This time I came here in person and experienced it for myself, and I realized how complicated the city is.

It's not some formation that's operating, nor is it any magical weapon or object that's protecting it.

how to say.

It was as if the hearts of the people of the world were gathered together, and there was a mysterious power that was covering, giving birth, and spreading...

"...humane destiny?"

Gu Zheng's heart suddenly moved and his eyes flashed with a gleam of light.

It is not the fortune of the dynasty, but the fortune of humanity at a higher level.

The Great Zhou has declined and is about to disappear.

The imperial luck does not have this kind of power to protect Taiping City and the surrounding areas and drive away the demons...

Well, to be precise, the demons and monsters would reject this kind of power and would subconsciously avoid it.

This alone is enough to protect Taiping City and the people inside and outside the city.

Even the common people in the city did not live a peaceful life.

"Bang~!"

With a muffled thud, a family's door was kicked open, and several fierce-looking men, bare-armed, broke into the house fiercely and robbed the owner's food.

He ignored the woman in the house crying and begging for mercy and the children screaming in fear, snatched the little remaining food and walked away in a swagger.

None of the neighbors tried to stop it, let alone shout.

Because they themselves are skinny and their clothes are empty.

"I can't live this life."

"Well, it's the same. No one has enough food. No one who went out of the city to look for food came back."

"Have you heard that there are people in the south of the city... eating people..."

"What's the big deal? If I still can't get food in a few days, I will have to eat humans!"

"...You bastard, you don't want to eat me, do you?"

"Hehehe~"

cannibal!

This was a word that was originally taboo, but Gu Zheng heard it no less than ten times in just half a quarter of an hour.

The ancient city of Taiping sheltered the people in the city, but was unable to produce food.

The demons have been invading for more than a year, almost two years.

Taiping City, which has a population of one million, had long since eaten up all its original food supplies.

Everything that could be looted in the surrounding areas has been looted.

If there is no food, but people have to survive, what should they eat?
Gu Zheng was silent.

There was quite a bit of food in his storage bag.

But that little bit of food was not even a drop in the bucket for the entire Taiping City.

Walking through the city, running fast.

I wanted to see which noble families were active in the city.

Along the way, I didn't see a single person from aristocratic family.

The spies and agents of the eight vassal states might be hiding.

But there are very few people who can achieve supernatural powers through cultivation.

The government offices and other institutions that maintain order in the city all rely on personal force.

However, the city defense troops, the city constables, and the imperial guards were all very lax, without any discipline at all.

It is just enough to maintain public order and avoid complete chaos.

Gu Zheng knew very well that the cause of all this was that Emperor Zhou in the palace was about to die.

There was not a single Wu clan member left. Only the high officials of the imperial court were left, each of them ruling their own territories, fighting for power and profit, and killing each other.

For this reason, although Taiping City has not collapsed, it is not far from it.

Gu Zheng started from the city gate, went through the city and entered the central area.

That is the imperial city.

After entering the imperial city, he hid himself and followed the instructions to find the Ten Thousand Dragon Cauldron.

One of the Nine Cauldrons is placed outside the main gate of the imperial palace, at the main entrance of the Taiji Hall.

Compared with the Tiannan Ding and Zhongtian Ding, which were used for other purposes, the Wanlong Ding is very well preserved, clean and complete.

When Gu Zheng walked into the square where the Taiji Hall was located, there was a skinny, frail old man wearing an imperial robe, breathing heavily, and walking out slowly from the entrance of the hall.

Emperor Zhou!

The last member of the Wu family.

The Great Weekend Emperor.

There is a mysterious aura emanating from his body, but it is very strange.

At least the feeling it gave Gu Zheng was very strange.

Calculated in terms of cultivation, this Emperor Zhou is almost comparable to Super Body Heavenly Ladder.

But the vitality in his body was as thin as a piece of paper.

Even though this piece of paper looks hard, it can still be pierced by a finger.

Gu Zheng could understand why the eight princes spared the Emperor of Zhou.

Given Emperor Zhou's condition, whether he is killed or not, he won't be able to live for many days.

It will take one or two months at the fastest, four or five months at the slowest, or half a year at the longest, for the sky to collapse.

What's the point of keeping such an Emperor Zhou?
On the contrary, if you kill him, you will become a murderer and be stigmatized.

The name of regicide is not a very nice one, and once you are tainted with it, you can never wash it off.

Gu Zheng flew into the air and approached the Wanlong Cauldron.

During this process, observe the condition of Emperor Zhou.

Only when he reached the edge of the Ten Thousand Dragon Cauldron did he retract his gaze and prepare to take the cauldron away.

I don't want to be at this moment...

"Who is your Excellency?"

An old, steady, and hoarse voice suddenly sounded.

Gu Zheng paused and turned to look at Emperor Zhou.

But he found that Emperor Zhou was not looking at him, but slowly moved his gaze from left to right.

"I...I'm about to die, and you guys are finally willing to come?"

? ?
Does “you” refer to the eight princes?

After making sure that Emperor Zhou was not looking at him, but just sensed someone nearby, Gu Zheng stopped collecting the Ten Thousand Dragon Cauldron and prepared to listen to what Emperor Zhou wanted to say.

After all, the Wu family is also a noble family, although it has declined and only one person is left.

But it was once glorious and there were one or two treasures left, so it is not surprising to find Gu Zheng's existence.

"Why, you're here but you won't show up to see me?" Emperor Zhou continued weakly, "Now that you're here, you don't even dare to meet me openly?"

Gu Zheng remained silent.

“Haha… cough cough~!… hahahaha…”

After waiting for a while and hearing no response, Emperor Zhou first laughed loudly, then coughed violently while laughing, and then laughed louder again.

There were no waiters around to help, just Emperor Zhou was alone, laughing and coughing, coughing and laughing.

suddenly……

"is it you?"

Emperor Zhou, unable to bear the physical abnormality, sat on the ground, gasping for breath. Suddenly, he spoke in a trembling voice.

"You are not one of those eight bastards."

Ok?
Gu Zheng raised his eyebrows.

What is the basis for this judgment?

Malice?

Gu Zheng was sure that he didn't show any emotion at all, let alone leak it out.

However, Emperor Zhou was able to discover that he was definitely not one of the eight princes.

interesting!
"You son of a bitch, you're not in the mood to listen to me nagging."

Zhou Huang panted and continued, "I just want to know if it's you."

……who is it?
Gu Zheng was curious.

Emperor Zhou seems to know someone, or even misses this person very much?

"You were right not to show up."

Emperor Zhou paused for a moment and spoke again, "I don't have much to say, it's just... it's just..."

Emperor Zhou's breathing became heavier and his body trembled slightly.

A pair of cloudy eyes looked around at the same time and moved slowly.

"It's, it's..."

The words were on the tip of my tongue and I wanted to say them several times, but I didn't know what I was afraid of. In the end, I gave up and sighed heavily.

"You...you go."

Sitting on the steps, leaning back slightly, Emperor Zhou panted, "If you don't want to show up, then leave. In the future... don't come again."

...Why does this sound like a warning?
Boom~!

Suddenly, a thunderclap sounded in the sky.

Thunder flashed, light burst out, and dispelled the last ray of afterglow.

Rumble~!

Bursts of thunder, accompanied by an invisible and powerful force, fell from the sky.

"Field?"

Gu Zheng frowned and looked up at the sky.

Visible to the naked eye, a field wall started from high in the sky and quickly fell down, covering the entire Taiping City and including the surrounding area of ​​more than ten miles.

Boom~boom!
A huge thunder suddenly appeared in the sky.

A dark mountain range, accompanied by thunder, first emerged from the void, then quickly condensed and stood upside down high in the sky.

That is, the peaks in a mountain range have the top of the mountain below and the foot of the mountain above.

It just floated in the air less than 300 meters above the ground and slowly settled down.

...The area of ​​the demon world that has merged?
Gu Zheng was surprised.

The area covering Taiping City, which was integrated with the territory of the demon world, was actually an inverted mountain range with more than a dozen peaks.

According to Gu Zheng's perception, the level of the field started from the first level and continued to rise.

First level, second level, third level...

Fourth level?

wrong.

Gu Zheng had experienced the spatial fluctuations of the fourth-order field and the operation of heaven and earth.

Right now, this field is getting infinitely close to the fourth level, and there seems to be an invisible force preventing the field from being upgraded to the fourth level.

The humanitarian fortune bestowed upon Taiping City?
Is it the destiny of humanity that is resisting the improvement of the field?

If we can’t stop the birth of the field, then why not stop its expansion?
Gu Zheng seemed to be thinking about something, carefully feeling the changes.

There is no need to worry about others being in the field, no matter what level the field is.

There is enough time to sense the changes in the field.

And, most importantly, the collision between the destiny of humanity and the demon world.

This will be of great help in the final and thorough perfection of the Human Emperor Seal.

Emperor Yu refined the embryo of the instrument and created the Nine Cauldrons.

However, it is not 100% certain whether the Human Emperor Seal will be finally successful after it is finally completed.

For this reason, it would be extremely beneficial to feel the collision between the destiny of humanity and the demon world in advance.

Rumble~!

The rumbling thunder shook the sky and the ground, illuminating the entire Taiping City.

The field wall appeared and disappeared amid the thunder.

Gu Zheng felt the collision of two unknown forces.

Emperor Zhou, who was not far away, looked up at the sky with his eyes wide open, and a look of astonishment appeared on his skinny face.

"Field...field?"

"Taiping City will also be covered by the field? How... How is it possible!"

Ok?
Gu Zheng diverted half of his attention and turned to look at Emperor Zhou.

Emperor Zhou knew the situation and could understand it.

But the fact that Taiping City was covered by the field was beyond his knowledge.

Emperor Zhou was shocked by this.

So, Emperor Zhou actually knew that Taiping City was protected by humanitarian luck?

Thinking.

Sharp and strange screams were heard in the air above my head.

Wow~
Wow!
Monsters as big as calves, bloated in shape, with bat-like heads, bodies like fat pigs, and one or two pairs of sharp claws and wings, swooped down from the inverted mountains above their heads. (End of this chapter)
