Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World Chapter 1178 - 613: An Astonishing Performance

With a welcoming gesture toward the hall's entrance, the Tianlan Saint Master extended his hand and announced, "Please welcome the Tianxuan Divine Girl."

A graceful woman in a flowing purple gauze dress stepped elegantly into the hall.

The Tianlan Saint Master presented her to the assembly, declaring, "She is the treasured gem of the Upper Realm's Purple Spirit Realm Master—the Tianxuan Divine Girl."

Once the formal greetings concluded, the Great Elder, brimming with curiosity, ventured to ask, "Tianxuan Divine Girl, if I may presume to ask, what prompts your visit to our Tianlan Sacred Land and your offer to lend us aid?"

Tianxuan Divine Girl offered a soft, enchanting smile that dazzled all. "The explanation is straightforward. First, Gu Sheng aided me once by sheer fortune, and I treasure that favor deeply.

Second, I truly owe a debt to Tianlan Sacred Land. Yet the exact nature of that debt eludes me for now."

Tianxuan Divine Girl spoke with gravity, "Frankly, my journey to Tianlan Sacred Land holds another vital aim: locating my fiancé."

The Great Elder snapped to realization, exclaiming, "Am I in a dream? The Tianxuan Divine Girl's fiancé turns out to be from our Tianlan Sacred Land?"

Should Tianxuan Divine Girl's fiancé truly hail from Tianlan Sacred Land, it would usher in boundless prospects and mighty backing, potentially allowing unchallenged supremacy across the entire Xinghong Spirit Domain.

Within Tianlan Sacred Land of the Purple Spirit Realm, a disciple burst in, his salutation rushed and urgent.

He blurted out in panic, "Saint Master, a monumental event! The Tianxuan Divine Girl's fiancé has surfaced in our Tianlan Sacred Land!"

Seated regally at the head position, the Tianlan Saint Master clutched a list of resources. This bombshell left him petrified like stone, the paper drifting forgotten to the floor.

Shock overwhelmed him; the revelation of Tianxuan Divine Girl’s fiancé was utterly staggering, a scenario beyond his wildest thoughts. Its spread would rock the whole Purple Spirit Realm.

Whispers erupted throughout the hall as the startling announcement ignited fervent speculation among those gathered.

Tianxuan Divine Girl stood present in the hall too. Hearing the murmurs, she advanced slightly and murmured, "Please, no rash assumptions, everyone. Our parents arranged this betrothal. I've yet to meet him and know scant details."

The Tianlan Saint Mother affirmed with a nod, "Xuan’er speaks wisely. Parental arrangements in matrimony are common, and prior meetings are rare."

Regaining composure, the Tianlan Saint Master eyed Tianxuan Divine Girl inquisitively, "Xuan’er, have you a method to identify this fiancé? If he's genuinely in our Tianlan Sacred Land, we must locate and honor him properly."

Tianxuan Divine Girl paused briefly before replying, "Saint Master, I possess certain markers of his identity, but they're too sensitive. Revealing them lightly could invite schemers to harm the Sacred Land. I seek your comprehension."

Finding her logic sound, the Tianlan Saint Master agreed, "Fair enough, no haste then. I'll command secrecy on this intelligence to prevent complications. We'll quietly scour the Sacred Land for him without alarming anyone."

The Tianlan Saint Master then assigned Bilong Pavilion for Tianxuan Divine Girl and Bixuan's residence, guaranteeing serene cultivation and ironclad protection. Guided by Holy Land disciples, they departed for Bilong Pavilion upon the directive.

Recalling Gu Sheng’s exploits on the Holy Road, the Tianlan Saint Mother instructed a nearby disciple, "Fetch Gu Sheng; I wish to speak with him."

Soon, Gu Sheng appeared before the Tianlan Saint Mother, bowing reverently. "Holy Mother, what matter requires my presence?"

The Tianlan Saint Mother beamed, "Gu Sheng, your feats on the Holy Road have glorified Tianlan Sacred Land. Name your desired reward. If it's within our power, it shall be yours."

Gu Sheng reflected momentarily, then declared, "Holy Mother, I venture to seek a Holy-level Martial Technique. My power falls short. Mastering one would let me serve the Sacred Land far better ahead."

Nodding approvingly, the Tianlan Saint Mother responded, "Such a technique is feasible. Gongsun Yue, escort Gu Sheng to the Book Collection Pavilion for his choice of Holy-level Martial Technique. Gu Sheng, return to Water Spirit Pavilion afterward; vital matters await discussion."

Gu Sheng bowed deeply once more, "My deepest thanks for your benevolence, Holy Mother!"

As Gu Sheng departed, the Tianlan Saint Mother addressed the Second Elder and Seventh Elder, "Second Elder, Seventh Elder, cease targeting Gu Sheng henceforth. His contributions merit our regard. Persisting would challenge me and the Saint Master."

Though faces twisted in dissent, the Second Elder and Seventh Elder bowed, "As the Holy Mother commands."

After Tianlan Saint Mother’s exit, the Second Elder and Seventh Elder shared a knowing look, then proceeded not away but toward Bilong Pavilion.

Positioned outside Bilong Pavilion, they lingered silently for the Tianlan Saint Master’s arrival.

Shortly, having wrapped his duties, the Tianlan Saint Master reached Bilong Pavilion. Spotting the pair, he queried, "What prompts your vigil here?"

Advancing with a grave visage, the Second Elder proclaimed, "Saint Master, a critical report demands your ear. Gu Sheng cannot be allowed to persist!"
