Chapter 16 Direction
In order to further confirm the test data, Gu Zuo changed direction and flew to the right. About two months later, he finally saw a thin line of void passing in front of him very vaguely. This was a sign that the void wall was about to appear.
Needless to say, facts have proven that Gu Zuo's measurement method is effective.
It took more than a year to confirm that this was a false node. It was much smaller than the false node that Emperor Donghua used to solidify the world. It sounds a bit unfair, but in fact it is nothing. At least one node that can be confirmed was found.
It's a true or false approach.
Gu Zuo sighed, left a piece of spiritual stone, and left here.
This is a long search process. According to the time of Heng Yi's three realms, the next three years will be spent in endless and identical void passages, without even a false node being discovered.
This situation sometimes drives people crazy. Fortunately, there is a successful precedent of Tian Gu Shilao. Everyone believes that there must be a new node waiting for them. To say the least, at least Tian Gu Shilao has used it.
The node actually exists, and finding it is successful.
In three years, a total of more than 100,000 void passages have been searched. At a certain moment, Gu Zuo suddenly stopped and looked ahead - in the center of this passage, there was a big tree.
After staring blankly for a long time, Gu Zuo flew over and came to the foot of the tree after confirming that it was not his hallucination.
"Emperor, I saw a tree, I am sure it is real."
"Tree? What tree?"
"A ginseng fruit tree. This tree is dead. There are only dry trunks and branches. It is as smooth as jade. The tree has turned into jade."
"Are you sure it's a ginseng fruit tree?"
"I'm sure, I've seen it in Wuzhuang."
Gu Zuo projected what he saw into the Hengyi Immortal Realm and asked Emperor Donghua for his opinion.
After a long time, Emperor Donghua said: "This should be an extremely rare ginseng fruit that has become refined. After becoming refined, the ginseng fruit will escape from Wuzhuang Temple and hide in the heavens and the world, even hiding in the void passage. This tree is unknown how old it is.
I escaped before, but it has withered for at least tens of thousands of years. To see such a ginseng fruit tree, God Lord, you are really lucky. I searched for tens of millions of void passages in the past, but I have never encountered such a ginseng fruit tree.
A ginseng fruit tree.”
Gu Zuo asked: "Why do you appear here?"
Emperor Donghua said: "I once talked with the Great Immortal Zhenyuan back then. After the ginseng fruit matures, it is expected to become the second ginseng tree. However, these refined ginseng fruits cannot be kept. Once they escape, they will be destroyed by all his abilities."
He couldn't catch the shot. Speaking of which, he hoped to protect the ginseng fruits that had become spirits, because after escaping, these ginseng fruits lacked the means to survive. They were like children who didn't understand anything, and were often easily trapped in desperate situations, or
Being eaten by demons, or like the tree in front of me, choosing to take root in this void passage, but not knowing that there is no chaotic spiritual power here, and when his own spiritual energy is exhausted, he can only wait to die."
Gu Zuo sighed and asked: "This tree has turned into jade and there are no fruits left. Is it still useful? Should I put it away?"
Emperor Donghua said: "The ginseng fruit tree has the ability to locate its location. It was originally the essence from the Book of the Earth. Therefore, these escaped ginseng fruit essences have a strong talent for escape. Look at the branches of this fruit tree.
They all point in the same direction, which is the direction in which he is escaping and the direction in which he will continue to escape subconsciously."
Does the void passage also have a direction? Gu Zuo was very surprised and quickly asked for advice on this issue.
Emperor Donghua explained: "It stands to reason that there is no direction. For example, we have searched for many years and found more than 100,000 passages. In fact, we cannot tell who is outside and who is inside, who is further away and who is closer.
Just like our practice of infinite Tao military arts, they overlap and intersect. Moreover, the void passages are often wandering, reborn, and destroyed, making it impossible to determine the direction."
Gu Zuodao: "But I remember that Heavenly Court issued a booklet and collected and marked the determined coordinates to form a map of the void passage."
Emperor Donghua said: "In this map, there is no distinction between inside and outside, distance, and distance. There is only the order in which the void passages are discovered."
Gu Zuo suddenly understood: "I understand. The earlier the void passage is discovered, the more central it is marked. What we think of as the so-called peripheral edge is actually a newly marked passage in recent years."
Emperor Donghua said: "So the direction we are talking about is actually sequential. The branches of this ginseng fruit tree point to the void passage that we have seldom been to, or even never been to."
Gu Zuo couldn't help but sigh: "Creation is amazing."
With directional guidance, you can greatly improve the efficiency of your search and avoid wasting a lot of time on void passages that others have already visited.
Since the ginseng fruit tree turned into jade can point out the direction for continuing the search, of course it is not easy to put it away, so let it stay here and serve as a road sign.
Another year passed. After jumping through tens of thousands of void passages, Gu Zuo suddenly discovered that the passage in front of him was one he had visited before. There was a spiritual stone floating slowly in the void. Although it was inconspicuous, it was in his spirit.
It was immediately felt in the domain.
After thinking for a moment, Gu Zuo and Emperor Donghua came to the conclusion at the same time that with the increase in the number of jumps, the direction pointed out by the ginseng fruit tree turned into jade had been deflected and could no longer be used as a basis.
What should I do next? Go back to the aimless search before and continue the inefficient search?
Unfortunately, the Shuhua Jade is a dead thing, so there is no use in collecting it back.
Thinking of this, Gu Zuo and Emperor Donghua said in unison: "Go back to the Eastern Tang Dynasty!"
Demon Li Hai, Emperor Ruyi, Li Twelve and others all didn't understand. Since they were all here, wouldn't it be a waste of time to go back at this time? And why should we go back?
Gu Zuo asked Emperor Donghua: "What do you think, Emperor Donghua?"
Emperor Donghua said: "When I saw it back then, I felt that the child looked like him."
Gu Zuo nodded: "I feel the same way. Even the emperor feels the same. It must be very possible."
Li Twelve asked: "Who are you talking about?"
Gu Zuodao: "Back then, when I was a Taoist practicing double cultivation, the emperor and I attended the banquet. I saw a child at the banquet, which looked a bit like a ginseng fruit turned into essence. The emperor thought so too. Later, I had to go to the emperor's appointment and couldn't take care of this matter. Now that I think about it,
We should go back and take a look. If it is true, it will be of great help to us in finding nodes."
He went back as he said, but it was not a random return. He "went deep" into the void passage too far and could not feel the breath of the Thirty-six Heavens and the four major continents of the Chaos World. He could only retrace his steps back.
Of course, there is no need to return from the original route one stop at a time. Instead, we jump back within the maximum sensing range, jumping every ten or twenty void passages. It took three months to finally return to Dongsheng Divine Continent.
Looking at the sea ahead, Gu Zuo felt a little homesick for a moment.
