Chapter 1477: Chapter 761: Significant Expenditure (Part 2)

"Buzz..."

Gu Sheng felt his Sea of Consciousness tremble, as a gentle force, like the warmth of spring, spread through his mind.

Not daring to be careless, he immediately leapt out of the water, retrieving a Storage Ring with a larger internal space from his Storage Bag.

"Collect!"

With a low shout, the remaining water in the Spiritual Spring was sucked into the ring like a dragon drinking water.

The spring water was crystal clear, emitting a faint spiritual light, and even away from the core of the Spiritual Spring, the Spiritual Energy contained within far exceeded that of a normal Spirit Stone.

"This Spiritual Spring Water is enough for me to use for a long time."

Gu Sheng calculated in his heart.

"Perhaps it can help me open the second meridian ahead of time..."

Thinking this, he hesitated no longer and immediately sat cross-legged, placing some of the Spiritual Spring Water in his palm.

The operation route of the Thirty-Six Cave Heaven Divine Technique clearly emerged in his mind, and he began to guide the pure Spiritual Energy from the spring water into his body.

"Hiss..."

As the Spiritual Energy rushed backward through the second meridian, Gu Sheng couldn’t help but take a cold breath.

The sensation was like someone repeatedly piercing the inner wall of his meridians with a red-hot steel needle, or fiery flames burning in his veins.

Cold sweat instantly soaked his back, and the veins on his forehead bulged.

"Hold on..."

Gu Sheng gritted his teeth tightly, his nails dug deep into his palm.

"What does this pain count for? Compared to the humiliation of being trampled underfoot, this pain is merely a step to becoming stronger!"

The Spiritual Energy from the spring water continuously surged into his body, impacting the barrier of the second meridian like waves under the guidance of the Cultivation Technique.

Every impact brought heart-wrenching pain, but Gu Sheng remained motionless, with steadfast flames burning in his eyes.

As time passed second by second, Gu Sheng’s complexion turned from red to white, then from white to blue.

His body trembled slightly but maintained the unchanged posture of cultivation.

Gradually, the second meridian started showing tiny cracks as Spiritual Energy seeped into it like a trickling stream...

Meanwhile, far away at the main altar of the Heavenly Ghost Sect.

"Dong... Dong... Dong..."

Three urgent alarm bells suddenly echoed through the clouds, startling the Heavenly Ghost Ancestor who was in seclusion.

This formidable power couldn’t help but open his eyes sharply, shooting two terrifying beams of light.

"What matter has alarmed the Soul Lamp Hall?"

He asked in a deep voice, the sound rolling like thunder.

A disciple outside immediately knelt in response.

"Reporting to the Ancestor, it’s... it’s the eldest lady’s Soul Lamp..."

"What?!"

The Heavenly Ghost Ancestor’s figure flashed and appeared outside the hall.

Disregarding his demeanor, he transformed into a dark light, rushing straight toward the Soul Lamp Hall.

Inside the Soul Lamp Hall, dozens of Soul Lamps burned quietly.

Among them, the two at the highest place had already extinguished... one inscribed with "You Yun" and the other bearing the Great Elder’s name.

"Yun’er!"

The Heavenly Ghost Ancestor’s eyes were ferocious, an uncontrollable terrible aura erupted, causing the other Soul Lamps in the hall to shake violently, directly shocking several guarding disciples into spitting blood.

"Who? Who dared to harm my daughter!"

He roared to the sky, the sound waves causing roof tiles to fall.

The Great Elder hurriedly arrived, his complexion changing drastically upon seeing the situation.

"Ancestor, calm down! The eldest lady has unparalleled talent, accompanied by the Great Elder, how could this..."

"Investigate! Immediately investigate!"

The Heavenly Ghost Ancestor’s beard and hair stood on end, smashing the stone pillar beside him with a palm.

"Transmit my order, all elders of the sect shall lead the elites, proceed to the Secret Realm outside the city immediately! Living or dead, I must see her!"

He abruptly turned, murderous intent flooding his eyes.

"No matter who harmed Yun’er, I want their entire clan exterminated, their soul scattered to the wind!"

Thinking of the effort he expended to cultivate You Yun... those rare Elixir Pills, Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, and even collaborating with Eastern Desolate Martial Artists to obtain Forbidden Techniques... a pain twisted his chest.

You Yun was not only his daughter but also the future hope of the Heavenly Ghost Sect!

"Ancestor, the scope of the Secret Realm is vast, should we first determine the specific location..."

One elder cautiously asked.

"Worthless!"

The Heavenly Ghost Ancestor rebuked.

"Yun’er’s last message said she was searching for the Spiritual Spring, start searching from all places that might have a Spiritual Spring!"

As the Heavenly Ghost Sect descended into chaos, Gu Sheng’s cultivation reached a critical moment.

The sound surged, causing even the stone walls of the valley to tremble.

Gu Sheng’s eyes sharpened.

"The old codger from the Heavenly Ghost Sect has come quickly."

He immediately understood the source of the spiritual ripple... it was the Heavenly Demon Vine that absorbed the Divine Phoenix Essence Blood! Could it be that it has truly developed intelligence?

Gu Sheng turned into a shadow, dashing toward the valley entrance.

On the way, he took out the "God Concealing Pendant" he had seized from the Great Elder of the Heavenly Ghost Sect and hung it at his waist.

The Jade Pendant emitted a faint glow, completely concealing his aura.

At the valley entrance, the scene was startling.

Dozens of black vine tendrils as thick as an arm danced like giant pythons, encircling an old man in gray robes tightly.

The old man’s hair and beard were standing on end, and he swung an Ancient Bronze Sword in his hand, cutting through the attacking vines with Sword Qi.

But the severed vines took root as soon as they hit the ground, quickly sprouting new branches.

"Beast!"

The old man shouted in anger, and his sword condensed a three-meter-long azure sword aura, sweeping over.

More than a dozen vine tendrils broke in response, oozing dark red sap like blood.

Gu Sheng lurked in the shadows of the rock wall, watching coldly.

He recognized this elder as Mo Tianyou, the ancestor of the Heavenly Ghost Sect, a Sixth Realm expert.

And a hundred meters behind Mo Tianyou, over twenty disciples of the Heavenly Ghost Sect stood in formation, warily observing the battlefield.

"Ancestor, be careful! This Demon Vine is strange!"

A middle-aged cultivator reminded loudly.

Mo Tianyou snorted coldly.

"Insignificant creature dares to block my way!"

With his left hand forming a technique, the Ancient Bronze Sword suddenly divided into seven sword shadows, forming a sword array to cut down the Heavenly Demon Vine.

The Heavenly Demon Vine seemed to feel threatened, and all the tendrils rapidly retracted to form a black shield in front of Mo Tianyou.

The sword array bombarded the shield, erupting with dazzling light.

Gu Sheng squinted his eyes, noticing the regeneration speed of the Heavenly Demon Vine had significantly slowed.

"It appears the consumption is quite substantial..."

His gaze turned to the group of Heavenly Ghost Sect disciples, a cold smile appearing on his lips.
