Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World

Chapter 1788: Chapter 907: Divine Craft Maze Palace! The Ultimate Legacy

With a single thought, his consciousness sank into his body, contacting that long-silent mark which represented the inheritance of the "Divine Craft Maze Palace."

The next instant, his figure rippled like water and silently vanished from the Quiet Room.

...

The scene before his eyes shifted, and Gu Sheng now found himself within a strange space.

This was not a resplendent golden hall, but more like an incomparably vast ancient workshop, filled with all kinds of intricate mechanisms, turning gears, and crisscrossing energy conduits.

The air was thick with the scent of machine oil, metal, and some peculiar energy. Embedded in the surrounding walls were countless crystal screens flickering with lights of various colors, on which flowed complex and unfathomable data and runes.

This was the internal space of the Divine Craft Maze Palace—the Holy Land of the ancient Divine Craft Path’s inheritance.

Just as Gu Sheng appeared, a slightly excited yet reverent voice sounded from ahead.

"Yue Kun pays respects to the master!"

He saw a figure that appeared somewhat ethereal yet far more solid than before, standing with a bowed back not far away.

He wore a simple craftsman’s robe, his hair combed meticulously, his eyes filled with wisdom and vicissitudes. This was none other than the palace spirit of the Divine Craft Maze Palace, Yue Shen Gong.

Yue Shen Gong straightened up. Sensing the nature’s spiritual energy and energy particles in this space, so utterly different from those of the East Desolation, more active and purer, a barely suppressible joy surfaced on his face. He once again gave Gu Sheng a deep bow.

"This old man can sense that the Spiritual Energy Law here is vastly different from that of the East Desolation, more ancient and vast—this must be the territory of the Central Province! Thank you, master, for keeping your promise and bringing this old man back to his homeland! This grace and virtue, Yue Kun will never forget even unto death!"

Gu Sheng’s gaze fell on Yue Shen Gong. He gave a slight nod, accepting his gratitude.

He fell silent for a moment, then came straight to the point.

"Yue Shen Gong, I came today to speak with you about the agreement we made before."

Within the Divine Craft Maze Palace, that bizarre space filled with mechanical precision and ancient energy.

Gu Sheng looked at Yue Shen Gong, who was both respectful and visibly excited, and directly stated his purpose.

"Yue Shen Gong, now that I’ve brought you to the Central Province, according to our agreement, I should also解除那些限制你自由的禁制. However, before解除 them, I need to know—how do you plan to find your wife’s reincarnated body? The Central Province is vast; searching for someone is no different from looking for a needle in a haystack."

At these words, Yue Shen Gong’s ethereal figure trembled slightly. A complex look surfaced in his eyes, where reminiscence, pain, and a trace of hope intertwined.

He replied respectfully.

"In answer to master, this old man does not dare to wish that master expend too much effort on my affairs.

Back then, this old man and my wife together forged a pair of strange Magic Artifacts called the ’Reincarnation Locks.’ They were not treasures of attack or defense. Their sole function was to refine and bind a wisp of our Soul origin aura to each other, fusing it into the deepest part of our respective souls."

He paused for a moment, then continued explaining.

"So long as this wisp of my residual soul does not perish, as long as I leave that sealed Secret Realm by relying on the power of the Divine Craft Maze Palace and actively approach to within a certain range of her reincarnated body... the ’lock’ in the depths of her soul will produce a subtle resonance and response! Even if she remembers nothing after reincarnation, that tremor originating from the Soul origin cannot be erased!"

Yue Shen Gong’s voice carried absolute conviction and yearning.

"Based on the vague direction this old man’s residual soul can sense from the ’Reincarnation Lock,’ as well as my past understanding of the various powers in the Central Province, my wife’s reincarnated body is highly likely to be within one of the four great Holy Lands: ’Heavenly Casting,’ ’Heavenly Skill,’ ’Heavenly Secret,’ or ’Thousand Illusions’! These four Holy Lands are all related to forging, mechanisms, divination, or Illusion Technique, most aligned with my wife’s former path!"

Gu Sheng’s eyes flickered slightly as he spoke.

"The Heavenly Casting Holy Land has already moved to the East Desolation."

Yue Shen Gong was taken aback for a moment, then came to a sudden realization.

"So that’s how it is... then the remaining possibilities are focused on the three Holy Lands of Heavenly Skill, Heavenly Secret, and Thousand Illusions."

"I’ll keep an eye out."

Gu Sheng nodded, thus agreeing to the matter.

"Once things here are settled, I’ll visit those Holy Lands one by one."

Hearing this, Yue Shen Gong was so moved that even his figure grew a little more solid. He bowed deeply, his voice choked with emotion.

"Thank you, master! This old man’s soul is now frail and weak, lingering on only by relying on this Divine Craft Maze Palace. Without a fortuitous chance, in at most a dozen more years this wisp of residual soul will completely dissipate between heaven and earth. If master can help this old man fulfill the wish of seeing my wife once more before that..."

He lifted his head, eyes burning as he looked toward the deepest part of the maze palace, that core region sealed by countless complex runes and energy conduits, and made a solemn pledge.

"Then, the greatest secret within this Divine Craft Maze Palace—one that no one has been able to open ever since the fall of the ancient Divine Craft Path—this old man will offer up with both hands, helping master truly take control of this palace and obtain its ultimate inheritance!"

Gu Sheng gave Yue Shen Gong a long, deep look, then swept his gaze over that mysterious core region, only to answer faintly.

"Mm."

Then his consciousness withdrew from the Divine Craft Maze Palace.

...

At the same time, within the Myriad Phenomena Holy Land at the core of the Wanxiang Imperial City.

In a closed-door cultivation sanctuary shrouded in dense Spiritual Energy and covered with powerful restrictions.

The face of Elder Lu’s true body was ashen as he carefully examined the unconscious, feeble-breathed Lu Chensong.

He employed various Secret Techniques, meticulously probing several times, yet his frown only deepened.

"Strange... aside from excessive depletion of True Qi and spiritual power, as well as some slight internal organ shock and superficial injuries, there are no other hidden wounds or traces of foreign energy remaining in his body... Where is that bizarre Imprisonment planted by Gu Sheng hidden?"
