The protagonist is obviously strong but very cautious

Chapter 2862 Primordial Dao Patterns
"Dao Shisi, everything you say is false. There is nothing about you that can move me. If you want to gain my trust, you need to do something that satisfies me. Before that, hand over the Golden Fangtian Halberd, and I will not make things difficult for you."

Gu Qingfeng understood that, regardless of whether it was aimed at the Undying Mountain, he now had to retrieve the Golden Halberd.

As the most treasured artifact of the ancient mythical clan, its loss would be extremely shameful and could even lead to targeting.

As the sole ruler of the Mythical Ancient Clan, he did not wish for them to suffer any harm.

Zheng Tuo saw Gu Qingfeng's determination, but he didn't want to return the Golden Fangtian Halberd to him, even though it would be very unfair.

However, the Golden Halberd has now merged with the Golden Emperor's body. Forcibly handing over the Golden Halberd would inevitably cause great damage to the Golden Emperor's body.

As one of his strongest Dao bodies, he didn't want the Golden Emperor Dao Body to suffer any harm.

If that's the case, it seems I only have one choice.

"Senior Gu Qingfeng, I will not return the Golden Fangtian Halberd to you. Rest assured, I will definitely agree to help you annihilate the Undying Mountain and save the Mythical Ancient Clan. Consider this Golden Fangtian Halberd as my reward."

After Zheng Tuo finished speaking, he turned and left.

Gu Qingfeng naturally wouldn't let Zheng Tuo leave. He made a move to stop Zheng Tuo, but Da Long blocked Gu Qingfeng at that moment.

"Hey Gu, you better not lay a hand on my boss, or I'll kill you."

Da Long touched his bald head, his eyes flashing with a fierce light.

If Gu Qingfeng dares to make a move, he will definitely kill Gu Qingfeng.

"Boy, you stole my clan's most precious treasure, and you still act like this? Isn't that a bit too arrogant?" Gu Qingfeng was no pushover.

He has gone through many trials and tribulations to reach this position, so how could he be intimidated by a single sentence from the other party?

"What does the senior want to say?"

"Dao Shisi, it's not that I can't give you the Golden Fangtian Halberd, but you need to do something for me. If you succeed, I'll give you the Golden Fangtian Halberd."

"What is it?" Zheng Tuo asked.

Gu Qingfeng paused, then looked into the depths of the mythical battlefield.

“I have a map in my hand, on which lies a treasure lost by my ancient mythical clan on the battlefield of mythology. If you can retrieve it, I am willing to exchange it for the Golden Halberd, even if you do not help me target the Undying Mountain. On the contrary, if you do not agree, I will fight to the death today to make you suffer.”

hum!
Gu Qingfeng released his spiritual pressure.

The overwhelming spiritual pressure of the Wallbreaker shook the surroundings. Even with the protection of the Great Dragon, Zheng Tuo still showed a serious expression.

As the saying goes, it's not the thief you should fear, but the one who has his eye on you. If Gu Qingfeng were to have his eye on you, wouldn't you have to be on guard day and night, constantly on guard against his sneak attacks?

Looking back, those around you will also suffer as a result.

This is also why people in the Primordial Immortal Realm are unwilling to offend those who break through barriers. Even many powerful beings at the fourth or fifth level of the Heavenly Realm will not take action against those who break through barriers at the first level, because if they cannot kill them, the other party will carry out endless revenge.

No one wants to be targeted by a wallbreaker, because that would be terrifying.

Zheng Tuo naturally didn't want to be targeted by Gu Qingfeng.

"Senior Gu, you are a powerful being who has broken through the barriers, so why don't you go to that place and retrieve the treasure yourself, instead of making me go and get it?" Zheng Tuo asked, puzzled.

“That thing is deep within the Mythical Arena, and the pressure a Breaker faces when they step into the Mythical Arena will increase exponentially as they go deeper. I’ve tried, but unfortunately I couldn’t reach that place.” Gu Qingfeng shook his head.

"If you cannot reach it, why not send one of your clan's half-step Breaker to go? Or have you already gone and gained nothing? If so, wouldn't that be very dangerous?"

Zheng Tuo keenly perceived the stakes involved.

Since Gu Qingfeng's true body cannot go, he can use the Dao body of a half-step Breaker to go.

Presumably, they had already tried to probe, but ultimately gained nothing, which is why they wanted my help.

Or rather, this guy wanted to use this incident to trap and kill me, so that once I was trapped and killed, he could naturally summon the Golden Halberd back into his hand.

In any case, this matter requires careful consideration and should not be rushed.

"Fourteenth young friend, to be honest, those little fellows of my Mythical Ancient Clan are far inferior to you. If you didn't have such extraordinary abilities, I wouldn't have brought this up. So, whether you can grant my request is entirely up to you."

Gu Qingfeng knew in his heart that his so-called geniuses were far inferior to Dao Shisi in front of him.

If Dao Shisi is willing to help him, he might actually succeed in retrieving the lost artifacts of the mythical ancient race.

If I can retrieve that lost item, I won't need anyone's help; I can sweep through the Undying Mountain and destroy the entire mountain.

Upon seeing this, Zheng Tuo seemed to be deep in thought.

He weighed the pros and cons and concluded that perhaps only by helping Gu Qingfeng could he avoid being targeted by the other party.

"Senior Gu, I have no problem helping you, but how will I explain if I fail?"

"Success is best, but failure is also failure. Just do your best, my friend."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Tuo frowned slightly.

"Senior, aren't you afraid I'll just slack off and deceive you?" Zheng Tuo was surprised that the other party trusted him so much.

“Fourteenth friend, since you can refine the Golden Fangtian Halberd, you are not the kind of person who breaks his promise. You have the aura of a strong person, and I will not be wrong about you. As for what you promised me, you will definitely do your best to do it. I trust my judgment and I will not be wrong.”

These words made Zheng Tuo feel very pleased.

He was initially a little embarrassed for taking the other party's golden halberd, but now it seems that Gu Qingfeng had already seen through him.

"I dare not accept your words, senior, but please rest assured that I will do my best to help you find your lost item, whether you succeed or not."

Come on.

Zheng Tuo also wanted to see what exactly the lost item the mythical ancient tribes had mentioned was.

According to legend, the mythical ancient race is a native species of the mythical battlefield, much like the giant ant race in the world of giants.

If Gu Qingfeng called it a lost item from a mythical ancient clan, then it must be something extraordinary.

If I were to obtain it and examine it, I might gain a great deal of insight.

With this mindset, she agreed to Gu Qingfeng's request.

After some discussion, Gu Qingfeng took out a jade slip and handed it to Zheng Tuo. The slip contained information about the Mythical Battlefield and the Mythical Arena.

Gu Qingfeng was born in the Mythical Battlefield and has traveled to many places. He has also participated in the Mythical Arena many times. The information he gave to Zheng Tuo is invaluable.

This also shows that Gu Qingfeng really hoped that Zheng Tuo's mission would be successful.

even.

He took the initiative to tell Zheng Tuo about the origin and methods of the Golden Halberd, which greatly surprised Zheng Tuo!
It seems I underestimated Gu Qingfeng's regard for the so-called lost artifacts of the mythical ancient clan.

After a brief conversation with Gu Qingfeng, Zheng Tuo left the area and headed to the Mythical Arena.

Before that, Zheng Tuo had already secretly used other means to take the various treasures in his possession out of the mythical battlefield.

Outside the mythical ancient city, Zheng Tuo made a move, opening the entrance to the Perfect World and entering it.

The Perfect World is now thriving, protected by a divine array radiating vibrant colors. From afar...

A continent floating in a perfect world appeared before his eyes.

brush!
He flew over the continent of the perfect world, looking at the various creatures living on the land, and felt gratified.

These beings exist in the form of spirits; they are innate beings born in the perfect world and are responsible for the order of the perfect world.

brush!
Zheng Tuo arrived at a house in the Perfect World.

This place is exactly the same as the small mountain of Luoxian Sect where he once lived.

A few thatched huts, a large lawn, and below the mountain lies a large lake inhabited by various fish and other creatures, including several dragons swimming freely within it.

"Owner!"

The fluffy ball looked quite excited.

The existence of such a peerless elixir is nothing short of a miracle. The furry ball's eyes sparkled as it looked at the peerless elixir, its excitement almost uncontrollable.

"Mao Tuan, you must take good care of this peerless medicinal herb and not let it suffer any harm. Do you understand?"

"Don't worry, Master. Furball will plant it in a place where no one can find it, and will take good care of it."

Mao Tuan took away the peerless elixir, while Zheng Tuo looked at the queen ant beside him.

"Queen Ant, I will now transfer the peerless elixir within you to my body. I will use myself as the elixir's human form to help you break free from its control and regain your freedom."

Upon hearing this, the queen ant was so moved she almost cried.

Because the peerless elixir was of such a high grade, she not only could not absorb its power to aid her cultivation, but it would also have her own power devoured by the elixir. If this continued, she would become exhausted and might even be completely consumed by the elixir in the end.

now.

She was extremely grateful that her master had the means to help her solve the problem of the peerless elixir.

Zheng Tuo knew that this matter could not be delayed, so he immediately began to help the ant queen solve the problem in his Dao body.

Transplanting a peerless elixir is obviously not an easy task, because this peerless elixir has almost become one with the queen ant. To transplant the peerless elixir into Zheng Tuo's body, it is necessary to continuously nourish Zheng Tuo's essence and blood.

The most perfect method Zheng Tuo could think of was to nourish the peerless elixir with his own blood essence, allowing it to become familiar with his blood essence, and then transplant it.

however.

However, things took an unexpected turn for the better by Zheng Tuo.

He did indeed feed the peerless elixir within the queen ant's body with his own blood essence, but during this process, the speed at which the peerless elixir devoured his blood essence far exceeded his expectations.

In Zheng Tuo's view, his own essence blood was indeed precious, but his own strength was not very strong.

However, the peerless elixir instinctively realized that Zheng Tuo's essence blood was far more precious than that of the ant queen. Therefore, the peerless elixir actually took the initiative to detach itself from the ant queen's body and directly took root in Zheng Tuo's body, beginning to frantically and greedily devour the essence blood in Zheng Tuo's body to nourish itself.

hum!
After the peerless elixir was planted in Zheng Tuo's body, Zheng Tuo immediately sensed something was wrong.

The peerless elixir itself is an innate being, but it exists in the form of a peerless elixir without taking human form.

Now, the peerless elixir is not only devouring his essence and blood, but also his power, and even his soul, turning him into a complete slave to the medicine.

"Humph!"

Zheng Tuo immediately snorted coldly.

He took direct action, using supreme Dao patterns to suppress the peerless immortal medicine.

However, this peerless elixir is extraordinary, of extremely high quality, and can only be suppressed by those who have broken through the barriers.

Zheng Tuo is currently only a half-step Breakthrough Realm cultivator, and it seems he is unable to suppress it. He can only let it devour his essence and blood, devour his power, and eventually completely devour him.

however.

This place is Zheng Tuo's perfect world.

In Perfect World, Zheng Tuo's strength reached the level of a Wall Breaker, so this time he used the power of the Heavenly Dao of Perfect World to directly and forcibly suppress the devouring of the peerless immortal medicine.

"Let me see just how precious you really are."

Zheng Tuo, who had been forcibly suppressing the peerless elixir, began to explore the interior of the peerless elixir within his body.

This discovery immediately broadened his horizons.

The tiny, peerless immortal herb, seemingly like a wild grass, was, in Zheng Tuo's perception, a boundless world within it. Within that world, countless powerful Dao patterns flickered. These Dao patterns were so primitive and ancient, as if they were ancient powers that had existed since the beginning of the world, which directly shocked Zheng Tuo.

"This is!"

When Zheng Tuo saw these ancient Dao patterns, he immediately felt that they looked very familiar, as if he had seen them somewhere before.

and many more!

After careful observation, he was astonished to discover that these ancient Dao patterns were actually somewhat similar to the original Dao patterns.

Could this be the legendary innate primordial Dao pattern?

The innate primordial Dao patterns originate from the innate beings of the primordial immortal realm.

Innate beings were born at the beginning of heaven and earth, possessing the most ancient power, which is the innate primordial Dao pattern.

So it seems that this explanation is quite clear.

The peerless elixirs are themselves a type of innate being; they have not taken human form and still exist in their original innate form.

Therefore, it is perfectly normal for them to possess the most primitive innate Dao patterns within their bodies.

Therefore, Zheng Tuo couldn't help but come up with a bold idea.

If I could refine these innate Dao patterns and make them work for me, wouldn't that mean I could become an innate being?

To know.

One's supreme Dao patterns can refine any kind of power, and the refined power is no different from the original power.

Thinking of this, he immediately became excited.

Overjoyed by such a huge gain, he immediately took action to try to refine the innate primordial Dao pattern.

however.

As expected, his supreme Dao pattern was not of a high enough grade to refine even a fraction of the innate original Dao pattern.

Although Zheng Tuo felt it was a pity, he understood the reason behind it.

It seems that only after breaking through to the next level and reaching the level of a barrier-breaker in the supreme Dao pattern can one possibly refine the innate original Dao pattern.

He remained confident in this, because his supreme Dao patterns had never disappointed him.
