Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World Chapter 1175 - 611: The Goddess Makes a Grand Entrance (Part 2)

"The secret of immortality?"

Excitement flooded Qiankun Venerate King’s face. He seized Gu Sheng’s hair and yanked his head up roughly, snarling viciously, "Spill it quick—what’s the secret exactly?"

Gu Sheng gazed at the avaricious expression on Qiankun Venerate King’s visage, a icy grin forming at the edge of his lips.

While Qiankun Venerate King eagerly awaited the response, Gu Sheng sprang into action.

Spiritual Power roared inside him, unleashing a razor-sharp Sword Qi that streaked toward Qiankun Venerate King’s belly with astonishing velocity.

"Boom!"

A deafening blast echoed, and Qiankun Venerate King suffered excruciating agony in his gut, unable to suppress a howl of pain.

He glanced downward, spotting a gory wound already pierced through his abdomen, blood spurting wildly.

"How dare you trick me!"

Qiankun Venerate King bellowed furiously, his form launching backward out of the crater without control.

Mid-air, he steadied himself, jabbing a quivering finger at Gu Sheng, rage twisting his features.

Gu Sheng had feigned frailty before, aware that a head-on clash wouldn’t favor him against Qiankun Venerate King. Thus, he employed this ploy, striking unexpectedly with condensed Sword Qi for a lethal strike.

Despite landing the surprise assault on Qiankun Venerate King, Gu Sheng teetered on the brink of collapse.

This strike had drained nearly all his Spiritual Power, and with his prior wounds, his frame bore countless gashes, his internals in chaos, the intense torment leaving him scarcely upright and incapable of further battle.

Qiankun Venerate King bore an injury, yet his might still vastly outstripped Gu Sheng’s.

Gritting through the abdominal torment, he lunged at Gu Sheng anew.

Gu Sheng beheld the foe charging once more, a wave of despair washing over him.

Yet the defiant fire in his core refused surrender, compelling his weary body to advance and confront Qiankun Venerate King.

"Ancient Reincarnation Bell!"

Gu Sheng bellowed, summoning his Magical Treasure.

The Ancient Reincarnation Bell whirled swiftly through the sky, radiating waves of enigmatic glow that shrouded Qiankun Venerate King.

Qiankun Venerate King eyed the approaching Ancient Reincarnation Bell with a scoff, "You think this trash can hurt me?"

He brandished his Life and Death Sword, slashing fiercely at the Ancient Reincarnation Bell.

"Clang!"

A resounding clash rang out as the Life and Death Sword smashed into the Ancient Reincarnation Bell, producing a sharp chime.

A tremendous impact jolted Gu Sheng, hurling his body backward uncontrollably until it slammed hard into the earth.

"Hmph, courting death!"

Qiankun Venerate King sneered disdainfully, flourishing the Life and Death Sword to unleash four piercing Sword Qi that howled toward Gu Sheng, bent on ending him.

"No!"

Two alarmed shouts rang from the distance, uttered by Tianxuan Divine Girl and Gongsun Yue.

Tianxuan Divine Girl experienced an unprecedented dread, leaving her momentarily disoriented.

Grief overwhelmed Gongsun Yue; she glanced toward her parents, seeing only her father present, her mother absent.

Just as Qiankun Venerate King’s Sword Qi neared Gu Sheng, a silhouette materialized abruptly—it was Tianlan Saint Mother.

Tianlan Saint Mother reached Gu Sheng’s side, tenderly lifting him into her arms.

Qiankun Venerate King’s three Sword Qi slammed into Tianlan Saint Mother’s form, yet bizarrely inflicted no damage.

Gu Sheng could hardly fathom Tianlan Saint Mother stepping in to rescue him.

Tianlan Saint Mother faced Gu Sheng, declaring, "I won’t allow your death."

Gongsun Yue witnessed her mother aiding Gu Sheng, her anxious look shifting to delight as she cried, "Mother!"

The Ninth Elder of Tianlan Sacred Land dripped with cold sweat.

From the instant Tianlan Saint Mother saved Gu Sheng, Tianlan Sacred Land bound itself irrevocably to him, destined to share fortune or ruin henceforth.

Observing from afar, Tie Shan roared in fury, "Tianlan Saint Mother, why meddle in Qiankun Venerate King’s business!"

His aura exploded outward, bearing down oppressively on Tianlan Saint Mother.

Surrounding Spiritual Energy churned with his outburst, spawning tiny Spiritual Energy whirlpools.

Tianlan Saint Mother stayed composed, merely flicking her hand to send forth a soft but mighty Spiritual Energy that effortlessly quelled Tie Shan’s pressure.

She stated, "Gu Sheng belongs to Tianlan Sacred Land as a disciple—how could I abandon him?"

Tie Shan had presumed his power neared Tianlan Saint Mother’s, believing he could contend if he engaged.

Yet her casual gesture neutralized his aura, starkly highlighting the chasm between them.

Qiankun Venerate King’s prowess stunned all onlookers, revealing the formidable backing he commanded.

Qiankun Venerate King demanded, "Do you grasp who I am, yet still dare obstruct me?"

Tianlan Saint Mother answered serenely, "Whatever your background, Gu Sheng is Tianlan Sacred Land’s disciple—I must protect him."

Tie Shan jeered, "Hmph, Tianlan Saint Mother, know this: Qiankun Venerate King is Supreme Immortal Sect’s Young Master.

Supreme Immortal Sect ranks as the Purple Spirit Realm’s second mightiest power, trailing only Purple Spirit Divine Mountain. Tianlan Sacred Land spells doom."

Tianlan Saint Mother showed no perturbation.

Tianlan Saint Master learned of Qiankun Venerate King’s origins, reining in his urge to speak with a heavy sigh.

Recent turmoil in Xinghong Spirit Domain had battered the Seven Great Sacred Lands.

Tianlan Sacred Land’s clash with Supreme Immortal Sect heralded trying times ahead.

Tianlan Saint Mother regarded Tianlan Saint Master firmly, affirming, "Saint Master, Gu Sheng is our Tianlan Sacred Land disciple—I can’t let him perish."

Qiankun Venerate King cackled icily, jabbing his finger at Tianlan Sacred Land’s folk and Gu Sheng, "All of you, await your doom!" before departing with Tie Shan and his followers.

Tie Shan shot a venomous snort at Tianlan Saint Mother prior to withdrawal.

Tianlan Saint Mother observed their retreating figures stoically, though inwardly turbulent.

This incident thrust Tianlan Sacred Land into its gravest crisis yet.

Tianlan Saint Master watched Qiankun Venerate King and company vanish, then urgently rallied his group, "We depart now—back to Tianlan Sacred Land!"

The assembly hastened their steps, swiftly evacuating the peril-ridden site.

Qinghe Saint Master scoffed, "Tianlan Sacred Land’s days are numbered. Supreme Immortal Sect’s fury will seal their fate."

Fellow Saint Masters nodded in consensus, convinced Tianlan Sacred Land’s provocation of Supreme Immortal Sect doomed it to ruin.

Tianxuan Divine Girl arrived alongside Bixuan, announcing, "I head to Tianlan Sacred Land."

Tianlan Sacred Land members, beholding Tianxuan Divine Girl’s presence, brimmed with elation, viewing it as backing for their land.

Tianlan Saint Master shook off his astonishment, bowing respectfully, "Goddess, your visit honors Tianlan Sacred Land."

Saint Masters of the Six Great Holy Lands stood perplexed, baffled by Tianxuan Divine Girl’s rapport with Tianlan Sacred Land.

The famed Kunpeng Taoist, tipped to dominate the Holy Road trial, had shockingly fallen there and vanished.

The Six Great Holy Lands endured massive casualties on the Holy Road, forfeiting numerous Saint Heirs and Holy Daughters—a devastating blow.

He first valiantly felled Kunpeng Taoist, then vanquished Qiankun Venerate King, and ultimately claimed a paramount inheritance.

Thus, he reaped the Holy Road trial’s richest rewards, with his bond to Tianxuan Divine Girl as a prime prize.
