The protagonist is obviously strong but very cautious

Chapter 2870 Ancient Immortal and Mythical Dao Patterns

Zheng Tuo was stunned by the sight before him.

Having no idea where this place was, but according to the map, I needed to leave my current hiding place and enter the large lake below.

The lost artifact of the mythical ancient race is found in this great lake.

What a joke!
Zheng Tuo looked down at the dozens of beings at the Breakthrough level in the lake below. He was just lucky to have dodged quickly, otherwise, a mouthful of lake water casually spat out by that big fish would have been enough to kill him dozens of times over.

It is now absolutely impossible for me to enter the great lake on my own.

He seemed to be deep in thought, realizing that he should perhaps leave this place and not continue to stay.

Just as he had this idea...

The large lake below stirred again.

Gulu!
Gulu!
The lake water churned as if boiling, and then a woman emerged from it.

The woman looked very young. She appeared there and then looked toward Zheng Tuo.

Their eyes met, and Zheng Tuo couldn't help but feel wary.

Here, a woman appeared, and judging from her appearance, she was able to stand peacefully in the lake, undisturbed by the creatures in it.

Could it be that the other party is also a barrier-breaker?
He was extremely wary as he looked at the woman.

The woman looked over and, in the blink of an eye, appeared beside Zheng Tuo.

"what!"

Zheng Tuo's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately realized that this woman's strength had probably reached the level of a Wall Breaker.

"Senior, may I ask where this place is?" Zheng Tuo lowered his posture and emitted a spiritual fluctuation.

The woman glanced at Zheng Tuo, then raised her hand and summoned the map from Zheng Tuo's hand.

"senior!"

Zheng Tuo wanted to seize it.

Because the map could protect him; if the map left his body, he would likely be crushed by the surrounding forces immediately.

really.

The moment the map left his body, immense pressure appeared around him.

He tried to resist with his own strength, but it seemed to be insufficient.

Just then, a woman not far away raised her hand and planted a mark between Zheng Tuo's eyebrows.

Because of the presence of this mark, the surrounding pressure instantly disappeared, and he was able to move freely in this place again.

"Thank you, senior!"

Zheng Tuo was puzzled as to who the woman was and why she was doing such a thing.

Now it seems that the other party had no intention of harming me.

"What's your name?" the woman asked.

“This junior is Zhang Feng,” Zheng Tuo casually made up a name.

"Lying!" The woman's expression instantly turned cold and stern.

"Your name is Dao Shisi, why did you lie to me?"

"this!"

"How does the senior know the junior's name?"

The woman waved the map in her hand.

"That little guy Gu Qingfeng has already informed me of your information."

"Gu Qingfeng, little guy!"

Zheng Tuo looked at the woman in front of him, who was about the same age as him, and his heart skipped a beat.

Looks like another old-fashioned person.

“Kid, I know what you’re thinking. Gu Qingfeng is older than me, but I’m of a higher generation. Actually, I’m not that much older than you.”

Women are particularly sensitive about their age.

"Please calm down, senior. I was forced to lie. After all, your ability to freely enter and exit such a dangerous place as the Great Lake below makes me extremely wary."

Zheng Tuo quickly spoke, fearing that the other party might harm him.

"It's nothing serious, it's not a big deal."

After the woman finished speaking, she looked Zheng Tuo up and down with great interest, which made Zheng Tuo a little nervous.

"This junior does not yet know your name, senior," Zheng Tuo asked cautiously.

“My name is Gu Qingxian, you can call me Senior Gu.”

"Gu Qingxian?"

Zheng Tuo searched his memory but had no idea that such a person existed in the Primordial Immortal Realm.

"May I ask, senior, where is this place?" Zheng Tuo continued to inquire.

"You don't know why you dared to come here, Little Fourteen, you have quite the nerve!" Gu Qingxian looked at Zheng Tuo with amusement.

"I have made an agreement with Senior Gu Qingfeng, so I have come here specifically to help Senior Gu find the lost items of the mythical ancient clan."

Zheng Tuo dared not hide anything any longer and told the truth directly.

"Little Fourteen, I heard you have a fist technique that can integrate various Dao patterns. Come here, right now, give me a good show."

Gu Qingxian's words shocked Zheng Tuo deeply!
He never expected that the other party would know that he knew Daoquan, and that Dao Shisi and Shixian were the same person.

It shouldn’t be!

I've been so careful all the way, how could I possibly have been discovered?

When, at what point did the other party discover my secret?

"Little Fourteen, begin your performance."

As Gu Qingxian finished speaking, Zheng Tuo's vision blurred, and he found himself directly on the lake.

Immediately afterwards, the lake churned, and a large fish emerged.

The big fish is incredibly powerful. Although it hasn't reached the level of a Wall Breaker, judging from its aura, it's only a hair's breadth away from becoming one.

Zheng Tuo was utterly baffled as to why the other party was testing him, but it seemed that only by defeating this big fish could he gain their trust.

of course.

Another option is to simply give up and let the other side eliminate you.

In an instant, without any hesitation, he raised his hand and threw a punch.

Bang!
The half-step wall-breaking giant fish was instantly sent flying by him.

Zheng Tuo understood that he hadn't yet taken the information out of this place, and he couldn't just give up and languish here.

So he went all out and unleashed a powerful punch.

Even though this half-step Breaker Big Fish was incredibly powerful, it was still just a piece of cake in front of him.

With a flourish of his fist, he swiftly and decisively killed the half-step Breakthrough Realm expert, Da Yu, on the spot.

Bang!
The giant fish transformed into Dao patterns and exploded on the spot, falling into the lake.

Seeing this, Gu Qingxian nodded.

"Your fist technique is indeed quite skillful, as you can actually add various powers to your fist. In that case, you must have a power that can refine various Dao patterns. Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to integrate various Dao pattern powers into your fist. Am I right?"

Upon hearing these words, Zheng Tuo was about to self-destruct on the spot.

The other party has actually discovered my greatest secret, the Supreme Dao Pattern. I absolutely cannot let this information leak out, otherwise it will surely bring me endless disaster.

But just as he was about to self-destruct, he immediately refrained from doing so.

He needs to take this information out and inform all his Dao bodies to the outside world; otherwise, if no one knows about this, it will be even more disadvantageous for him.

My mind is full of thoughts.

"It was just a coincidence, I have no special skills, senior thinks too highly of me." Zheng Tuo refused to admit it no matter what.

"Little Fourteen, the reason Gu Qingfeng sent you here is because you possess such abilities. I need your abilities to help me. If you're willing to help me, I will help you break through your own limitations and become a Breaker-level being. What do you say?" Gu Qingxian said calmly. Zheng Tuo seemed thoughtful upon hearing this.

The idea of ​​helping oneself break through barriers and become a barrier-breaker sounds incredibly tempting.

But such a major event must have more conditions. We might as well listen to what those conditions are before making a decision.

"Please tell me what you need me to do, Senior Gu."

“Come with me.”

Gu Qingxian waved her hand, leading Zheng Tuo into the lake.

Zheng Tuo was filled with vigilance, but he had no choice but to follow him.

Soon, the two arrived at the bottom of the lake.

At the very bottom of this great lake, Zheng Tuo saw a crack.

The crack shimmered with immense power.

"Senior, what do you mean?"

Zheng Tuo was puzzled; what was the other party thinking?

"The crack in front of you is a spatial barrier of a world. I am attacking this world, but this spatial barrier has been blocking me for a long time. I need someone to help me, and that person is you," Gu Qingxian said.

"Need my help?"

Zheng Tuo was completely puzzled!

“Senior, I am merely a half-step barrier-breaker. How can I possibly help you break through the barriers of this world?”

Zheng Tuo believed it.

The spatial barrier he was facing at that moment must be a barrier of a great world, because this Gu Qingxian was at the level of a barrier breaker.

With his current combat strength, it's impossible for him to break through the spatial barrier of the Great World.

"It's alright, we still have time to cultivate. I will assist you in your cultivation, help you refine the mythical Dao patterns, and help you break through to become a Breaker-level existence. At that time, you will naturally be able to help me."

Gu Qingxian has her own plans.

In reality, this plan was a last resort for her.

She has been attacking this great world for a very long time, but unfortunately, her own strength is limited, and she is unable to completely break through the spatial barrier of this great world, so she needs the help of others.

Originally, that little guy Gu Qingfeng could have helped me, but the Dao patterns Gu Qingfeng cultivated were different from mine, so he couldn't help me at all.

Over the years, Gu Qingfeng has sought help from many gifted youngsters, but in the end, none of them have cultivated the mythical Dao patterns to help him.

Now, Dao Shisi is just one of many little guys. I hope he can help me break through the spatial barrier of this great world.

When Zheng Tuo heard that the other party wanted to mentor him and then ask for his help, he became extremely wary, because the whole thing was fraught with danger.

He didn't believe there was anything so cheap in the world.

"May I ask, senior, who owns this great world? And why did you open it up? Could it be that there are some treasures inside?" Zheng Tuo asked half-jokingly.

"If you want to know, you can. Once you break through and become a barrier breaker, I will naturally tell you. But before that, your primary task is to cultivate and then break through. Do you understand?"

Gu Qingxian clearly didn't want to tell Zheng Tuo too much.

Zheng Tuo seemed to be deep in thought about this.

Just now.

suddenly!

The huge crack beneath them began to ripple.

Zheng Tuo instantly became alert and turned to leave the area.

Just as he left, the huge crack suddenly flashed with a bright light, and then several spiritual creatures flew out.

Look carefully.

Among those spiritual objects were many spiritual plants, as well as many magical treasures and spiritual iron, some of which looked extremely precious.

Upon seeing this, Zheng Tuo's heart stirred!
"Could this be the end of the Mythical Arena?"

Zheng Tuo suddenly remembered this and immediately looked up.

Crossing the rolling waters of the great lake, he saw the mythical arena suspended above his head.

It seems my guess was right; this is indeed the end of the Mythical Arena.

Logically, he shouldn't have been able to get here, because taking the proper route would have put him under immense pressure, but he took a shortcut, which is why he's here.

"This place is indeed related to the mythical arena, but it is not the end. The real end is in this great world."

Gu Qingxian raised her finger and pointed to the huge crack below.

Zheng Tuo desperately wanted to know where this enormous crack led to in the wider world.

A world that can continuously spew out all kinds of magical treasures and spiritual objects, and even peerless immortal medicines, is simply unimaginable.

He looked thoughtfully at Gu Qingxian.

He wasn't in a hurry because he clearly understood that he was not worthy to negotiate with this ancient senior.

Look back.

Once I've refined the mythical Dao patterns it mentioned, letting it know they're useful to me, and then asked it what this great world is, it will surely relent and tell me exactly where this place is.

With that thought in mind, he made up his mind.

"Senior Gu, I suppose I'm not the first person to come to this place." Gu Qingxian looked at Zheng Tuo.

“That’s right. You’re not the first person to come here. Many little guys have come here before. I tried to teach them and let them cultivate the Mythical Dao Patterns, but unfortunately, although they seemed very talented, none of them could refine the Mythical Dao Patterns.”

Gu Qingxian could only shake her head helplessly as she thought of the little ones she had once taught.

"Since they can't be taught, where are they? Could they all have been killed by the senior?" Zheng Tuo had already anticipated the worst outcome.

"No, they are not dead, they are right here."

Gu Qingxian raised her hand and waved.

Suddenly.

Dozens of large fish appeared in the vicinity.

These large fish seemed quite intelligent, each one dwelling around Gu Qingxian like her pet.

"You turned these people into big fish!"

Zheng Tuo was greatly surprised!
Gu Qingxian's methods this time are truly abnormal; perfectly normal living beings have all been turned into giant fish.

"No, I did not turn them into big fish. They voluntarily became big fish and are cultivating here."

"Volunteer?"

“That’s right. I think you should understand that cultivating here is several times better than cultivating outside. They voluntarily give up their physical bodies and transform into the giant fish of this place to cultivate here, trying to break through their own limitations and become beings at the level of barrier breakers.”

That's what he said, but Zheng Tuo understood.

Those guys probably had no other choice, because Gu Qingxian wouldn't let anyone leave this place.

This place is too special. If anyone discovers the existence of a special passage, they will surely take action, attracting countless powerful figures to this place.

even.

At that time, wallbreakers will descend upon this place and launch a powerful attack on the great world beneath the lake.

he mused.

If I cannot refine the mythical Dao patterns, I fear I will become like the creatures that once visited this place, turning into that giant fish that surrounds Gu Qingxian.

but.

If I can refine the mythical Dao patterns, will I really be immune to Gu Qingxian's persecution?
He wasn't very confident about it.

Just as he was lost in thought.

suddenly!

A powerful surge of energy appeared above their heads.

This is?

Zheng Tuo's expression changed drastically, because he sensed the arrival of an aura at the level of a Wall Breaker.
