Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World novel Chapter 1401

Chapter 1401: Chapter 724: Healing (Part 2)

The most striking feature was the pair of golden wings that flickered behind him, not fully spread but exuding a suffocating sense of pressure.

"Gu!"

Situ Qingfeng saw Gu Sheng, his eyes glowing gold as he quickly stepped forward.

With each step he took, the ground trembled slightly, as though unable to bear his weight.

Gu Sheng smiled and cupped his hands.

"Congratulations to Situ for completing your bloodline legacy! Judging by your aura, you’ve gained quite a bit."

Situ Qingfeng couldn’t hide his excitement.

"It’s all thanks to you, Gu! Without your risky help, how could I have received the complete legacy from my mother’s relic?"

As he spoke, he knelt on one knee, performing a grand gesture.

Gu Sheng hurriedly supported him.

"Situ, what are you doing? We have stood by each other through life and death, such formalities are unnecessary."

Situ Qingfeng persisted in completing the gesture before standing up, speaking earnestly.

"Gu, you may not know this. The awakening of the Heavenly Demon Spirit Body is of great significance to me. The Golden-winged Roc bloodline within me was originally thin, making great success in life unattainable. Now, not only has the Spiritual Body fully awakened, but my cultivation has also..."

As he spoke, he released his aura; immediately, a violent wind surged in the hall, even more astonishing than the commotion when Gu Sheng broke through.

"Earth Martial Realm Peak?!"

Gu Sheng’s pupils contracted.

"Did you break through over ten realms?"

Situ Qingfeng nodded, explaining.

"The spiritual energy contained within my mother’s relic was beyond imagination, coupled with the bloodline feedback during the awakening of the Heavenly Demon Spirit Body, the surge in cultivation was expected. However..."

His expression suddenly became solemn.

"Just as you once warned me, ascending too quickly in cultivation may not be a good thing. Although I’ve reached the peak of the Earth Martial Realm, I feel my foundation is unstable, and my control over power is far less solid than taking a steady approach."

Gu Shen agreed.

"It’s quite rare for Situ to have such an understanding. In my opinion, you shouldn’t rush to break through to the Heavenly Martial Realm next; consolidating your foundation should be your main focus."

"That is my intention."

Situ Qingfeng nodded.

"I plan to head to the ancestral land of the Golden-winged Roc lineage for training. There’s a path of trials left by my ancestors, perfect for honing my foundation."

As he spoke, he took out a completely green Communication Jade Talisman from his bosom and handed it to Gu Sheng.

"This is a communication jade talisman. No matter how far apart we are, we can sense each other’s position. Should you need anything, just crush the jade talisman, and I’ll come to your aid immediately."

Gu Sheng accepted the jade talisman, feeling its warm texture, sensing the bloodline connection within.

He carefully stored it, smiling.

"Then I won’t stand on ceremony. Speaking of which, I’m still thinking about the Peng’s Relics you promised me, Situ."

Situ Qingfeng laughed heartily.

"Rest assured! Once I return from the ancestral land, I’ll surely take you to the burial site.

There, not only are my ancestors’ remains buried, but there’s also a natural wonder that greatly benefits cultivation."

The two exchanged smiles, understanding each other.

After a brief silence, Situ Qingfeng suddenly asked.

"What are your plans next, Gu?"

Gu Sheng gazed towards the exit of the main hall.

"I plan to return to Great Wilderness City. This retreat has been quite fruitful, and I need time to digest it. Also..."

His eyes gleamed coldly.

"Some scores need to be settled as well."

Situ Qingfeng understood, asking no more.

He patted Gu Sheng on the shoulder.

"In that case, we’ll part ways here. Take care!"

"Take care!"

The farewell was short and powerful.

Situ Qingfeng’s wings spread behind him, transforming into a streak of golden light that pierced through the top of the main hall, disappearing into the sky in an instant.

Gu Sheng watched him leave, only retracting his gaze after the golden light vanished from his sight.

Feeling the surging power within him, he looked forward to the upcoming journey to Great Wilderness City.

"It’s time to return."

At the entrance of the Secret Realm, the white light around Gu Sheng gradually dissipated, as he cautiously surveyed his surroundings.

The air was thick with a murderous aura.

"Who goes there?"

Gu Sheng asked coldly, his fingers already on the hilt of his sword at his waist.

A shadowy figure emerged slowly from behind a rock, cloaked entirely in black, revealing only a pair of sharp eyes.

"Young Master Gu, I am Tantai Ying. I have been waiting here for over three months under the orders of Second Miss."

"Tantai Xueling?"

She looked at the hazy enemies outside the great hall, and a smile unexpectedly appeared at the corner of her mouth.

"I believe in Gu... He will definitely avenge us."

Long Yundao’s hand tightly gripped the armrest of the throne, his fingers white with tension. As a Sect Master, he understood the principle of sacrificing one to save the whole sect, but as a master, how could he bear to watch his disciple go to her death?

"Enough..."

Long Yundao sighed deeply, seemingly aging ten years in an instant.

"The Emperor Sect... will remember your sacrifice."

Ye Jianjia bowed deeply and turned to walk outside the array.

Her back was straight, like a sword about to be unsheathed.

Outside the array, the Master of Xuanxu Sect showed a cruel smile.

Behind him stood dozens of elite disciples, one of whom sneered.

"Master, that girl has come out. They say she’s Gu Sheng’s closest junior disciple sister, perfect to let Gu Sheng taste the pain of losing someone important!"

"No rush."

The Master of Xuanxu Sect said sinisterly.

"Let her watch the Emperor Sect’s destruction first, then slowly torture her to death. My son’s vengeance requires the blood of the entire Emperor Sect to be avenged!"

Ye Jianjia had already reached the edge of the array, just a step away from stepping out.

She was about to take a step—

"Stop."

A cold voice suddenly rang out in the great hall. Although the voice was not loud, it exploded in everyone’s ears like a thunderclap.

Ye Jianjia shuddered all over, incredulously turning her head. A tall figure had appeared in the center of the great hall at some unknown time, his black clothing still carrying the dust of the Secret Realm.

"Gu... Gu Sheng?"

Her voice trembled so much it was almost inaudible.

Gu Sheng walked slowly forward, each step seeming to tread upon everyone’s heartbeat.

His gaze swept over the seriously injured Jiang Yuan and the wounded people all over the hall, and finally landed on Ye Jianjia.

"With the Sect’s foremost present, it’s not your place to stand out."

Gu Sheng’s voice was frighteningly calm.

"Go back and heal."

The appearance of Gu Sheng and the black-clad woman Tantai Ying was like a huge stone thrown into a calm lake, stirring thousand waves.

The oppressive aura emanating from Tantai Ying made everyone present feel suffocated, especially the Master of Xuanxu Sect, who was miserably lying on the ground, veins bulging on his forehead, unable to move even a single finger.
