Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World Chapter 1172 - 610: The Secret of Becoming Immortal

Hesitantly, Qinghe Saint Master inquired, "Tianxuan Divine Girl, what do you mean?"

Tianxuan Divine Girl acted as if she hadn't heard a word, staring straight at Gu Sheng while speaking in a chilly tone, "I want to see what attitude the Tianlan Sacred Land will have towards you. If they do not protect you, I don't mind taking you to the Purple Spirit Realm."

The crowd was stunned, utterly surprised by Tianxuan Divine Girl's favorable stance toward Gu Sheng, going so far as to offer bringing him to the Purple Spirit Realm.

Should Gu Sheng align himself with Tianxuan Divine Girl, nobody in the Xinghong Spirit Domain would dare to challenge Tianlan Sacred Land anymore, since the Goddess from the Purple Spirit Realm was far beyond their ability to offend lightly.

"I see."

Suddenly, clarity dawned in Gu Sheng's mind. He had boldly slain Kunpeng Taoist right before Qinghe Saint Master and urged everyone not to escape because Tianxuan Divine Girl had vowed, prior to departing the Holy Road, to shield him against the Six Great Holy Lands.

Though Tianxuan Divine Girl's personal power wasn't at the pinnacle, the force backing her was immensely powerful. A single word from her would make the Six Great Holy Lands hesitate to make a move.

"Excellent, splendid!"

Tianlan Saint Mother cried out in delight, nodding vigorously in agreement, her eyes brimming with the joy of escaping catastrophe.

"Haha, I knew he could be trusted."

Gongsun Yue burst into laughter uncontrollably.

"Who was the one panicking so much earlier?"

Bixuan jabbed playfully from nearby, making Gongsun Yue's cheeks burn with shame.

Tianxuan Divine Girl's eyes scanned across the six Saint Masters as she declared gravely, "Gu Sheng saved my life on the Holy Road. After I return to the Purple Spirit Realm, I will report this to my father, and I believe my father will be very grateful to him.

If any of you harm him, and my father learns of it, consider the consequences yourselves.

I also have unfinished business with Tianlan Sacred Land and owe them a favor. You'd better not make things difficult for me."

These words left everyone dumbfounded. Gu Sheng and Tianlan Sacred Land's members wondered when exactly Tianxuan Divine Girl had owed them a favor.

Tianlan Saint Master reflected that perhaps Tianxuan Divine Girl mentioned this to safeguard Gu Sheng and Tianlan Sacred Land, given that Gu Sheng's master had saved her life once, unbeknownst to them.

The remaining Saint Masters looked troubled, turning their eyes toward Qinghe Saint Master.

The grudge from the Holy Road and the inheritance of the Holy Road Master had initially bound them together against a shared foe. If handled right, they could have razed Tianlan Sacred Land and claimed its spoils.

Letting go of such a prime chance was tough. Still, none dared to cross Tianxuan Divine Girl; enraging her could bring a single powerhouse from Purple Spirit Divine Mountain to wipe out all Six Great Holy Lands.

As for silencing him through murder, they lacked the courage. The Purple Spirit Realm Master perceived everything; entertaining that idea would spell their total annihilation.

"What, you still plan to defy the Goddess?"

Tianlan Saint Master scoffed icily, bolstered by Tianxuan Divine Girl's backing, showing no fear toward the Six Great Saint Masters whatsoever.

"Hmph!"

Though unwilling, Qinghe Saint Master quietly pulled back his crushing aura, signaling his position through the gesture.

The other Saint Masters grudgingly retracted their domain-dominating Spiritual Power too, averting what could have been a domain-shaking apocalypse in a most unceremonious fashion.

Average cultivators gained a sharper appreciation for Tianxuan Divine Girl's exalted position.

Envy filled their stares at Gu Sheng.

Linked to Tianxuan Divine Girl, Gu Sheng could now roam the Xinghong Spirit Domain without hindrance.

Even after Tianxuan Divine Girl departed for the Purple Spirit Realm, open hostility against him would be off-limits. Sneak attacks or hits might be the limit.

"Wonderful, the danger has passed."

Tianlan Sacred Land's Ninth Elder let out a long breath, still shaken by the close call.

Without Tianxuan Divine Girl's intervention halting the Six Great Saint Masters, doom would have struck Tianlan Saint Master, Tianlan Saint Mother, and the entire Tianlan Sacred Land.

"Thank you."

Gu Sheng clasped his hands toward Tianxuan Divine Girl in thanks.

"It's a small matter."

Tianxuan Divine Girl dismissed it with a wave, gesturing westward as she added, "The real trouble is there."

Gu Sheng glanced in that direction, his expression turning grave. Demonic Qi roiled fiercely there, swallowing the area around it.

With the Seven Great Saint Masters' immense pressure lifted, this Demonic Qi stood out even more boldly.

Slowly, the rest spotted the soaring Demonic Qi and those with sharp senses inferred the truth, smirks of amusement crossing their faces.

"Looks like he's got more than just us after him."

Qinghe Saint Master grinned slyly, eyeing Gu Sheng with keen curiosity.

Qiankun Venerate King's frame shuddered wildly, every rune seal clinging to him exploding apart.

His long-restrained cultivation burst free at last, radiating the horrifying presence of half-step Earth Palace Realm—his genuine power.

With a booming roar, as his aura surged into half-step Earth Palace Realm, the savage Demonic Qi morphed into a monstrous demonic beast with fangs and claws extended, charging straight at Gu Sheng.

Gu Sheng's pupils shrank sharply; he balled his fist tight, Spiritual Power whirling furiously within, and unleashed a heaven-shaking strike.

Boom! A deafening explosion rang out, forcing Gu Sheng to stumble back multiple steps. Once balanced, he couldn't hold back a gush of blood.

"A waste."

Qiankun Venerate King cackled victoriously, "My cultivation is restored; what can you fight me with now! Hahaha"

Back in the Holy Road World, Qiankun Venerate King had suffered endless suppressions from Gu Sheng for myriad reasons, nursing deep grudges. Now outside the Holy Road, seals broken and power at its zenith, vengeance on Gu Sheng was finally within grasp.
