Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World

Chapter 870: Chapter 459: Promotion

"Him?"

Elder Li Yuan looked at Gu Sheng, a hint of skepticism in his eyes.

"Indeed, the Night Skull suddenly appeared. If it weren’t for Gu Sheng’s timely discovery, I’m afraid..."

Before Yao Qing could finish speaking, Elder Li Yuan waved her off.

Seeing this, Yao Qing dared not speak further, silently praying for Gu Sheng on the side.

At this moment, Elder Li Yuan came to stand in front of Gu Sheng, scrutinizing him again.

Meanwhile, Elder Li Yuan quietly urged his divine power.

Although Gu Sheng’s divine power was sealed, his senses still functioned somewhat.

But even if he could sense something, so what?

He was like a cripple now, just a fish on the chopping block.

"Hmm?"

Elder Li Yuan suddenly paused, involuntarily drawing back a step.

His brows furrowed tightly, his gaze seemed to penetrate Gu Sheng’s soul.

"Xiao Sheng, you clearly possess such abundant divine power, why are you sealed? Who did this to you?"

Elder Li Yuan asked, puzzled.

Gu Sheng was startled, never expecting Elder Li Yuan to be so perceptive.

With just one glare, he realized his abundant and profound divine power.

Quickly, Gu Sheng calmed down, determined not to let Elder Li Yuan discern anything.

He knew the conflict between the Shaking Light Sacred Land and the Demon Clan was long-standing. If he could cleverly use this, he might gain a chance to survive.

With tears in his eyes and a choked voice, he said: "Elder, I was harmed by the Peacock King of the Demon Clan!"

"What? The Peacock King!"

Elder Li Yuan froze for a moment, as if recalling something.

Meanwhile, Gu Sheng continued: "He not only sealed my divine power but also intended to kill me. In desperation, I came to this desolate place, hoping to escape and barely survive."

"The Demon Clan! It’s them again!"

Anger flashed in Elder Li Yuan’s eyes as he spoke: "Xiao Sheng, do not worry. I will surely break this seal for you and restore your freedom."

Gu Sheng was secretly pleased.

In this Northern Territory, Elder Li Yuan’s cultivation was among the most profound.

If he could get his help, perhaps his divine power could really be restored.

Yao Qing, standing nearby, was also baffled.

She hadn’t expected Gu Sheng’s casual talk would be convincing enough.

Moreover, he even earned Elder Li Yuan’s favor, who intended to personally break his seal.

Yet Yao Qing was somewhat concerned, knowing that the Sealing Stone was set by the Shaking Light Saintess Yao Xi. Elder Li Yuan, being the Supreme Elder of the Shaking Light Sacred Land, if he saw through anything...

"Thank you, Elder, thank you. Xiao Sheng is deeply grateful."

Gu Sheng clasped his hands and bowed to Elder Li Yuan.

Yao Qing wanted to stop him, but it was too late.

The situation was veering out of control.

Standing aside, Elder Li Yuan nodded, then said, "Come, sit here first."

Then, Gu Sheng sat on a stone, as Elder Li Yuan instructed.

Elder Li Yuan quietly urged his divine power.

Instantly, a gentle aura emerged from him.

The feeling was like bathing in a spring breeze.

"Swoosh!"

Then, Elder Li Yuan began casting a spell.

His hands traced enigmatic paths in the air, divine power streaming into Gu Sheng’s body like water.

After a quarter of an hour, Elder Li Yuan’s expression grew increasingly grave.

He realized the sealing power was exceedingly strong, far beyond his ability to break.

Even more shocking, the sealing force seemed to devour his divine power.

"This..."

Ultimately, Elder Li Yuan withdrew his hands in resignation.

He sighed and said: "Xiao Sheng, this seal is too powerful. I cannot undo it now, but rest assured, I will report this to the Holy Master, and a more formidable cultivator will come to help you."

"Holy Master?"

Gu Sheng felt his heart sink, feigning a smile and said: "Elder, it’s alright, thank you for your help."

Elder Li Yuan patted Gu Sheng’s shoulder, comforting him: "Stay in the mining area for now, within the barrier, there’s not much danger."

"Yes, thank you, Elder."

Gu Sheng nodded.

But in his heart, he was silently praying that it wasn’t the Shaking Light Saintess Yao Xi who came.

If Yao Xi knew he was in the Northern Territory, especially on the Shaking Light Sacred Land’s ground, she might break down immediately.

As Gu Sheng stood in a daze, Elder Li Yuan spoke again: "Yao Qing, from tomorrow, let Xiao Sheng take charge as the supervisor of Mine No. 15. It’s a waste not to use his abilities."

"Uh..."

Gu Sheng was stunned, turning his head to look at Yao Qing.

"Yes."

Yao Qing merely smiled awkwardly, then led Gu Sheng away.

Once they were sure no one else was around, Yao Qing placed her hands on her hips, laughing loudly.

"Supervisor Gu, starting tomorrow, you’d better perform well."

"Tch! What are you laughing at?"

Gu Sheng looked speechless.

"I’m amused by your attempt to escape, yet you got promoted; your luck is absurdly good!"

Yao Qing laughed a bit softer.

"Enough with the luck talk. I’m wondering, how come the Supreme Elder, so powerful, couldn’t break the seal on me?"

Gu Sheng wasn’t at all smug about getting the supervisor role.

He was perplexed, wondering how a seal from the Shaking Light Saintess could be this formidable.

Upon hearing this, Yao Qing explained: "You don’t get it, do you? The seal set by the Saintess is a secret spell of the Shaking Light Sacred Land. Not even Elder Li Yuan, nor other Supreme Elders frequently at Shaking Light Sacred Land can handle it, got it?"

"Is it that mysterious?"
