Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World

Chapter 1420: Chapter 733: Breaking Off the Engagement

This Secret Technique can truly summon the power of Heaven and Earth! But then he calmed down.

“Would the Tantai Clan offend a top Holy Land for me?”

“Naturally not.”

The Shadow chuckled softly.

“That’s why this is a deal between you and me.”

The candlelight crackled.

Gu Sheng suddenly remembered the mocking eyes he faced when he first entered Great Wilderness City, those who thought he was reckless.

Now, he was the Third Pavilion Master of Linyin Pavilion!

“It won’t take that long.”

He clenched his five fingers, and the Jade Scroll turned to powder.

“I accept it.”

As if expecting this, the vertical mark on the Shadow’s forehead suddenly split open, a drop of Essence Blood emerged and transformed into a blood-colored seed.

“This is the true transmission of the Secret Technique. Master Gu, please keep it safe.”

Without hesitation, Gu Sheng absorbed the seed into his Sea of Consciousness. In an instant, a violent torrent of information surged forth—

“Reverse the flow of True Qi… Invert the meridians… Thirty-six death points…”

Cold sweat beaded on his forehead, and his body trembled uncontrollably.

This is not cultivation—it’s clearly a suicide method!

A quarter of an hour later, Gu Sheng abruptly opened his eyes, gleaming with intense light.

“What an incredible way to reverse one’s fate!”

In the secret chamber, there was no trace of the Shadow anymore, only a few spots of dried blood on the ground proving she had been there.

Gu Sheng suppressed his inner shock.

Though this Secret Technique was insane, it was indeed feasible. It just required thorough preparation…

“Wanling Palace…”

He murmured to himself, got up, and pushed the door open.

Three days later, in front of Wanling Palace’s mountain gate.

Gu Sheng stood still, gazing upwards. Nine towering Dragon Jade Pillars supported the majestic mountain gate. Behind it, towering peaks pierced the clouds, with golden halls and jade mansions faintly visible amidst the mist. Occasionally, tunneling lights streaked across the sky, imposing in momentum.

“Truly a top power in Central Province,” he thought.

As he took his first step, three terrifying pressures suddenly descended!

“Intruder, die!”

An elderly woman’s voice thundered like a storm.

Gu Sheng felt the air around him freeze. Three white-robed elders hovered in mid-air, the leading old woman holding a dragon-head staff, her eyes filled with killing intent.

Heavenly Martial Realm! And three of them!

Gu Sheng calmly cupped his hands.

“I am…”

“Silence!”

The old woman struck the ground with her staff, causing the Void to ripple.

“How can outsiders set foot in the forbidden area of Wanling Palace?”

At this tense moment, a clear voice came from within the mountain gate.

“Stop!”

A young girl in white, riding a sword, flew over with her dress billowing. Recognizing the face, Gu Sheng’s lips curled into a slight smile—it was Xiao Mengdie.

“Gu Sheng? It’s really you!”

Xiao Mengdie almost stumbled upon landing, her pretty face flushed red.

“Did you come looking for me?”

Just as Gu Sheng was about to respond, the old woman sternly questioned.

“Does the Holy Daughter know this person?”

“Of course!”

Xiao Mengdie quickly positioned herself in front of Gu Sheng.

“Elder Li, this is Gu Sheng, who saved my life in the Demon Sovereign’s Secret Realm! If it weren’t for his help, I would have long since…”

The old woman’s expression drastically changed, hastily signaling the two behind her to withdraw their pressure. Once the three landed, she quickly stepped forward to apologize.

“I apologize for not recognizing Mount Tai, Master Gu, please forgive me.”

Gu Sheng waved his hand.

“No harm done. I do have an important matter to discuss.”

Xiao Mengdie immediately volunteered.

“I’ll take you to see my master.”

She turned her head to explain.

“Senior Gu, ever since returning from the Secret Realm, I’ve been wanting to find a chance to thank you.

That Nine Revolutions Soul Reviving Grass…”

“Just a minor effort.”

Gu Sheng interrupted her, his eyes, however, swept over the new Jade Pendant at the young girl’s waist—it was clearly engraved with the Cloud Pattern belonging to the Core Disciples of Wanling Palace.

The old woman quickly spoke upon seeing this.

“I will inform the Palace Master right away.”

She took out a Communication Jade Scroll, hesitated for a moment, and added.

“However, the Palace Master is currently in seclusion…”

The Jade Talisman was entirely jade green, its surface intricately engraved with Cloud Patterns, glistening brightly in the sunlight.

As soon as the old woman’s fingertip touched the Jade Talisman, she felt a familiar aura, her expression instantly changing.

“Seventh Level of Xuanwu Realm, yet the Protective Gang Qi is comparable to Early Stage of Earth Martial Realm?”

The old woman’s wrinkled fingers gently caressed the Jade Talisman given by Gu Sheng.

“Please wait a moment, young friend.”

She glanced deeply at Gu Sheng, turned around, and transformed into a streaming light that flew into the mountain gate.

Xiao Mengdie blinked her big eyes, leaning closer, the silver bells in her hair jingling.

“Hey, what is that Jade Talisman? It looks so familiar.”

Gu Sheng stood with his hands behind his back, gazing into the distance at Wanling Palace’s majestic mountain gate.

“It was given to me as a token on someone else’s behalf.”

“Did my father give it to you?”

Xiao Mengdie persistently asked, her small hand tugging Gu Sheng’s sleeve.

“No.”

Gu Sheng withdrew his sleeve, his tone distant.

Just then, the sound of something breaking through the air came from the mountain gate.

The old woman returned, her face even more respectful.

“Young Master Gu, the Sect Master requests your presence.”

Gu Sheng nodded slightly, and following the old woman, stepped into the mountain gate.

Xiao Mengdie followed behind, hopping along.

“Young master, please travel by Sky-controlling with this humble one.”

The old woman waved her sleeve, a gentle force lifted Gu Sheng.

The three ascended into the air, and the full view of Wanling Palace gradually unfolded before Gu Sheng. Nine peaks pierced through the sky, like sharp swords, cloaked in clouds and mist, with jade pavilions and spiritual birds and beasts roaming around.

At the central main peak, a majestic golden hall stood proudly, grand in scale.

In Gu Sheng’s eyes, purple light flickered briefly, and within his Sea of Consciousness, the “Purple Extreme Demon Pupil” silently operated.

He clearly perceived six abyss-like auras inside the hall, each far surpassing the Earth Martial Realm.

“Six Heavenly Martials…”

Gu Sheng was secretly astonished.

“And one enigmatic aura, likely that of the Sect Master who just broke through to the Sect Realm.”

In front of the great hall, eighteen Dragon Jade Pillars soared into the clouds.

As soon as Gu Sheng landed, a deep voice came from the hall.

“Enter.”

Upon stepping into the hall, six gazes simultaneously fell on Gu Sheng.

Each gaze was heavy, and if it were an ordinary Xuanwu Realm Martial Artist, their legs would likely have long gone weak.

But Gu Sheng’s expression remained unchanged, and his Protective Gang Qi circulated autonomously, dissolving the pressure invisibly.

At the end of the hall, a middle-aged man dressed in a purple-gold robe sat at the main seat.
