Chapter 762: Chapter 405 Zhuo Peak Obtains a Protrusion
Gu Sheng was taken aback by these words.
"Se... Senior, what did you say... what hidden? I don’t understand."
Gu Sheng smiled faintly, deliberately pretending to be ignorant.
"Your Ancient Sacred Body is extraordinary indeed; being able to cultivate to the Divine Bridge Realm shows that your insight is far beyond ordinary people."
Li Ruoyu still had his eyes closed.
However.
The words he spoke made Gu Sheng’s heart jolt.
"I’ve been discovered? Can’t be? I hid it quite well..."
Gu Sheng muttered to himself.
Now that Li Ruoyu had already seen through his secret, there was no need to continue hiding it.
Then Gu Sheng smiled and walked towards Li Ruoyu.
"Senior, how did you discern that I have the Ancient Sacred Body?"
Li Ruoyu slightly opened his profound eyes.
His gaze, like a pair of fiery eyes, fell upon Gu Sheng.
"While doing Withered Zen meditation, I observed the flow of the Dao and saw phenomena bursting forth, countless spiritual lights surrounding you as stars circle the sun and moon. They told me of your extraordinary constitution."
Li Ruoyu said slowly.
From his tone and gaze, it was clear he had great admiration for Gu Sheng.
"Ah? The flow of the Dao? Phenomena bursting?"
Gu Sheng was shocked.
He never thought his Ancient Sacred Body would be so easily seen through.
"Indeed, cultivating with the Sacred Body is far more difficult than ordinary people can imagine, requiring not only talent but also a firm will and patience."
Li Ruoyu added.
This implied he seemed to be testing Gu Sheng’s determination.
"Hoo..."
Gu Sheng took a deep breath, realizing he had encountered a significant opportunity.
And Li Ruoyu, contrary to his name, was not dull at all!
"Senior, I am willing to cultivate on Zhuo Peak; no matter how difficult the path, I will resolutely continue."
Gu Sheng’s face showed determination.
Li Ruoyu didn’t rush to agree but asked, "Have you thought it through? If you cultivate on my Zhuo Peak, you won’t be able to cultivate on other main peaks, and... you might have to endure a lot of hardships."
"I’ve thought it through. From the moment I set foot on Zhuo Peak, I made my decision."
Gu Sheng nodded.
"Very well then."
Li Ruoyu nodded.
"Swoosh swoosh swoosh!"
Suddenly, several streaks of divine rainbow light flew towards Zhuo Peak.
Such lights and the ability to ride the divine rainbow can only be exhibited by elders of the Supreme Mysterious Sect.
Gu Sheng showed a hint of surprise on his face, unsure of what could attract the elders from other main peaks.
He fixated his gaze on those streaks of light, keen to see where the elders intended to go.
"Sizzle sizzle sizzle!"
Several streaks of light stopped above Zhuo Peak, revealing the figures of five elders.
They were Elder Jin, Elder Mu, Elder Shui, Elder Huo, and Earth Elder.
Each represented a power of the five elements, being second only to the Supreme Elder in the Supreme Mysterious Sect.
The five elders descended from the clouds and walked directly toward Li Ruoyu and Gu Sheng.
"What... they’re coming here? Could it be... to question us?"
Gu Sheng looked baffled.
Before Gu Sheng could clear his mind, the elders had already arrived in front of Li Ruoyu and him.
Upon seeing Li Ruoyu, the elders all greeted respectfully, "Senior Brother Li."
Li Ruoyu nodded slightly, "Junior brothers, what brings you here?"
"Congratulations to Senior Brother Li on obtaining the long-lost Enigmatic Bow; this is indeed a significant event."
Elder Jin spoke first, with a hint of joy on his face.
Gu Sheng, overhearing the name of the Enigmatic Bow, was even more surprised.
He hadn’t expected the treasure he obtained to have such a vast influence, attracting elders from other main peaks to personally come to offer congratulations.
At the same time, Gu Sheng’s heart slightly calmed.
From their smiles and humble demeanor, it seemed they weren’t there to cause him trouble.
Meanwhile, Li Ruoyu appeared quite calm, with a smile on his face.
"You overpraise me, junior brothers. The Enigmatic Bow is good, but it takes a fated person to unleash its true power."
Elder Jin nodded, and the other elders nodded along.
"Senior brother, Zhuo Peak has been silent for hundreds of years, with spiritual energy flowing and all things changing; it’s time to return to the pinnacle."
Elder Jin continued.
Hearing this, Gu Sheng suddenly became puzzled.
They were leaders of other main peaks.
Now they’ve come to Zhuo Peak, and they start with lavish praises.
And they mentioned Zhuo Peak returning to the top.
What does it mean?
Could it be they’re going to voluntarily give their spiritual energy to Zhuo Peak?
No!
Impossible!
There must be some hidden agenda.
"I’ve long been disinterested in fame and fortune, and have no interest in the so-called pinnacle,"
Li Ruoyu replied indifferently.
Upon hearing this, the elders exchanged looks, seeming a bit embarrassed.
"Senior brother, we are all of the Supreme Mysterious Sect and care little for fame and fortune, only that the competition among the main peaks is about to commence, so..."
Another elder suddenly spoke.
"Hoo... the competition among the main peaks..."
Li Ruoyu’s eyes were deep, seeming somewhat weary.
"Yes, Senior Brother Li, the competition among the main peaks is in three months, and we hope you can lead the disciples to participate and showcase the strength of our Supreme Mysterious Sect."
Gu Sheng’s heart tightened; he had just joined Zhuo Peak and was unfamiliar with such competitions, feeling a bit resistant.
He was about to refuse but was stopped by Li Ruoyu’s gaze.
"Since the elders have such intentions, I naturally won’t refuse."
Li Ruoyu smiled slightly and turned to Gu Sheng, "Gu Sheng, this time, you will represent Zhuo Peak in the competition."
"Me?"
Gu Sheng looked speechless.
After all, he was the only disciple on Zhuo Peak now.
If he didn’t go, who would?
