Chapter 1493: Chapter 769: The Immortal Cultivation Technique (Part 2)

"Yuexia?"

Gu Sheng squinted his eyes.

"Or should I call you Nangong Yuexia?"

The woman smiled gently and bowed.

"Yuexia of the Purple Mist Divine Sect, meeting Young Master Gu. Of course, you can also call me Nangong Yuexia, as that is my real name."

Nangong Yingying looked at Yuexia in surprise.

"Sister, you..."

"The plan has been exposed; there’s no point in hiding it any longer."

Nangong Yuexia said softly, but her gaze remained locked on Gu Sheng.

"Since Young Master Gu has seen through my identity, I presume you’ve guessed part of the truth too."

Gu Sheng clenched the Southern Emperor’s Seal in his hand and sneered.

"I only know that I seem to have been drawn into a not-so-small conspiracy. The Purple Mist Divine Sect being part of the Southern Emperor’s lineage is indeed an unexpected find."

Nangong Yuexia gently shook her head.

"It’s not ’happens to be,’ but ’has always been’.

She raised her hand and formed a sealing, a purple mist circulating in her palm.

"The Purple Mist Divine Sect has always been a dark agent of the Southern Emperor’s lineage established in the Southern Border, lurking for... a whole thousand years."

This sentence exploded in Gu Sheng’s ear like a clap of thunder.

"A millennium-long setup? Doesn’t that mean... that the approach to Miao Muqing was arranged, and even this Southern Emperor’s Seal..."

He stared at the Nangong sisters.

"Is likely also part of your plan?"

The virtual shadow of the Nine Dragon Universe Cauldron slowly rotated behind Gu Sheng, the nine dragon patterns moving like living creatures, exuding a suffocating pressure.

Nangong Yuexia’s fingertips trembled slightly, she didn’t expect Gu Sheng to see through their layout in such a short time.

"Young Master Gu, there may be some misunderstanding in this..."

Nangong Yuexia forced a smile, her peripheral vision glancing at her sister Nangong Yingying.

"Misunderstanding?"

Gu Sheng sneered, and a dragon in the virtual shadow of the Nine Dragons suddenly raised its head, letting out a silent roar.

"I hate being used as a pawn the most. Although the Southern Emperor’s Longevity Dao is good, if it comes at the cost of being manipulated, I’d rather not have it."

Nangong Yingying hurriedly took a step forward, her black hair moving on its own without wind.

"Young Master Gu, calm your anger! We indeed..."

"Shut up!"

A cold light flashed in Gu Sheng’s eyes, and the virtual shadow of the Nine Dragons Cauldron suddenly expanded, enveloping the entire room.

"One last chance, tell the truth, or I’ll leave immediately."

The air was filled with a suffocating pressure, the Nangong sisters’ robes moving on their own without wind.

Nangong Yuexia’s expression fluctuated, she did not expect Gu Sheng’s strength to be so formidable that just the pressure from the cauldron hindered the flow of Spiritual Power in her body.

"Sister!"

Nangong Yingying sent a secret transmission.

"This person’s strength far exceeds expectations, don’t confront him head-on!"

Nangong Yuexia, suppressing the shock in her heart.

"What truth does Young Master Gu want to hear?"

Gu Sheng smiled coldly.

"Your true purpose for entering the Purple Mist Cave Heaven."

"We indeed came for the Southern Emperor’s Seal..."

As Nangong Yuexia spoke, she saw the cold light in Gu Sheng’s eyes intensifying, a green light burst from the Nine Dragons Cauldron, piercing directly through the roof.

"Enough!"

Gu Sheng shouted severely.

"Save these lies for fooling a three-year-old child!"

At the tense moment, a crisp bell rang from outside the door.

"Hehe... why must Young Master Gu be angry?"

Miao Muqing, in a purple gauze long dress, gracefully entered with Miao Wu and Miao Ren.

The cinnabar mole on her forehead gleamed with a demonic luster under the light.

"The Nangong sisters are also in a helpless situation."

Gu Sheng gazed knowingly.

"As expected, it’s you."

Miao Muqing covered her mouth with a light laugh.

"Did Young Master Gu discover me long ago? It’s... quite joyful."

The faces of the Nangong sisters changed drastically, Nangong Yingying exclaimed.

"Miao Muqing! How could you..."

"How could you appear here?"

Miao Muqing gently caressed her temples.

"Naturally, I followed Young Master Gu. After all... the one who can unlock the Creation Immortal Pool’s seal is probably only him."

Gu Sheng raised an eyebrow slightly.

"Creation Immortal Pool?"

Miao Muqing looked straight into Gu Sheng’s eyes, no longer concealing.

"Exactly. I need Young Master Gu’s power to break the seal. That seal requires a powerful Soul Power, and I believe..."

She paused.

"Young Master Gu might be the reincarnation of a Great Power."

The room fell silent, even breathing could be heard clearly.

The Nangong sisters exchanged a shocked glance, clearly unaware of this information.

"What about you? Still going to continue acting?"

Nangong Yuexia’s expression flickered, and finally she sighed heavily.

"Young Master Gu, we indeed have other intentions. But we can only disclose more after entering the Cave Heaven."

Gu Sheng snorted coldly.

"Very well. Miao Muqing, arrange a secluded place for my cultivation. Come fetch me in three days."

On the west side of Xiaguang City, a secluded courtyard was shrouded by layers of arrays, not even birds dared to approach.

Miao Ren and Miao Wu stood respectfully outside the courtyard gate, paying their respects to Gu Sheng.

"Senior Gu, this place for secluded cultivation is a forbidden ground of our Miao Family, equipped with a Third Level King-level defensive array. It’s absolutely safe."

Miao Ren pointed at the runes flowing on the courtyard gate, eyes showing a peculiar hue.

Gu Sheng stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze sweeping like lightning across the surroundings.

He curled the corners of his mouth slightly.

"Not bad, convey my thanks to the Miao Family Master."

Miao Wu quickly bowed.

"Senior, you’re too kind. If you need anything, just activate the Communication Jade Talisman within the courtyard and we’ll arrive immediately."

After the two left, Gu Sheng’s smile gradually faded from his face.

He flicked his fingertips, sending three invisible strands of Qi Force towards the three corners of the courtyard wall.

"Buzz..."

Ripples formed in the air, momentarily revealing and then hiding the previously concealed array patterns.

Gu Sheng frowned slightly.

"As expected, there’s still a surveillance array... Miao Family, what is your true intention?"

He walked slowly into the main house and took out four Array Flags from his Storage Ring, placing them in the four corners of the room.

As True Qi was injected, a transparent light screen rose, enveloping the entire room.

"Now, it can begin."

Gu Sheng sat cross-legged and took out the ancient Southern Emperor Seal from his embrace.

The seal was entirely green-black, its base engraved with the ancient characters for "Eternal Longevity," reflecting a ghostly light under the lamps.

"Southern Emperor’s Longevity Dao... A cultivation technique said to grant immortality..."

Gu Sheng, his spiritual power slowly probing toward the seal.

Just as the spiritual power was about to touch the seal...

"Boom!"

A violent shock suddenly came from behind him, the Nine Dragon Universe Cauldron uncontrollably revealing its true form, with nine dragon patterns seeming to come alive, roaming across the cauldron’s body.

A terrifying suction erupted from the cauldron’s mouth, the Southern Emperor Seal was whisked into it with a "whoosh!"

"What?!"

Gu Sheng exclaimed, startled, and stood up abruptly.
