Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World Chapter 1474 - 760: Is This Color Poisoned?

"Get lost!"

The middle-aged man was horrified and swung his long blade frantically, slashing out fierce blade auras, trying to force the vines back.

However, he forgot about the nine Divine Flame Qi Swords that had been waiting for an opportunity.

"Phew!"

A golden Qi Sword seized the gap and pierced through his chest instantly.

The golden flames rapidly spread across the wound, burning his flesh.

"Ah..."

The middle-aged man let out a mournful scream, the energy within his body instantly became chaotic, and the emitted blade aura shattered mid-air on its own.

"No... I am unwilling..."

He looked down at the blood hole in his chest, the golden flames had already spread all over his body.

"I clearly... am already in the Heavenly Martial Realm..."

Gu Sheng approached slowly, his eyes cold as ice.

"A forcibly elevated realm is ultimately false."

"Swish, swish, swish!"

Numerous thick vines seized the moment to wrap around the middle-aged man’s limbs and body, sharp barbs piercing into the flesh, starting to crazily drain his blood and vitality.

"No... spare me..."

The middle-aged man’s struggles weakened further, his voice growing hoarse.

"I’m willing... to offer all my treasures..."

Gu Sheng watched him with a blank expression.

"Too late."

In just a few breaths, the middle-aged man’s body visibly shrank down, finally turning into a lifeless dried corpse.

The vines of the Heavenly Demon Vine then glowed with a dazzling blood light, appearing even more sinister.

Gu Sheng gazed at the Heavenly Demon Vine in front of him, the golden-red intricate patterns gleaming with a strange luster under the sunlight.

The blood color was visibly fading, replaced by a radiant golden hue, like molten gold flowing across the vine’s surface.

"Interesting."

Gu Sheng’s lips slightly curved, his fingertips touching the surface of the vine lightly.

He could feel the surging life force within, far beyond ordinary Heavenly Demon Vines.

"Absorbing the Ancient Divine Phoenix Essence Blood, indeed extraordinary."

The Heavenly Demon Vine seemed to respond to his words, gently quivering, a vine intimately wrapping around his wrist.

Gu Sheng could clearly sense that this mutated Heavenly Demon Vine’s intelligence was much higher than its ordinary counterparts.

"Resilience increased by thirty percent, devouring speed accelerated by fifty percent..."

Gu Sheng closed his eyes, sensing the information transmitted by the vine.

"If it fully advances, it might withstand attacks from a Heavenly Martial Realm master."

After a quarter of an hour, the advancement of the Heavenly Demon Vine was complete.

On the surface, it seemed to have merely grown larger, but Gu Sheng, through spiritual power perception, found its internal structure had undergone a qualitative transformation.

At the core of the vine, a golden crystal the size of a grain of rice had formed, exuding a faint Divine Phoenix aura.

"Good!"

Gu Sheng nodded with satisfaction, waved his hand, and withdrew the Heavenly Demon Vine back into his body.

He could feel that this Spirit Plant could at least hold off one or two Early Stage Heavenly Martial Realm masters.

"In Heavenly Ghost City, there is only one known Heavenly Martial Realm master, at most one or two more in secret. Now I have the power to protect myself."

He looked northward, his eyes flashing with determination.

This life, he vowed to forge an unprecedented path to the heavens.

And the Earth Martial Realm’s strongest technique of the Longevity Divine Sect is a crucial part of his plan.

Just then, the Innate Spirit Embryo within his Sea of Consciousness suddenly trembled.

"Master, ten miles directly north, there’s an unusual spiritual energy fluctuation, at least a hundred times the concentration of the outside world!"

"Oh?"

Gu Sheng raised an eyebrow.

"Gathering Spirit Pond or Gathering Spirit Lake?"

"Not sure, but the spiritual energy has condensed into mist, there must be Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures!"

Gu Sheng no longer hesitated, his figure flashed, transforming into a streak of light and darted towards the north.

Within a few breaths, he arrived before a secluded valley.

"This is..."

Gu Sheng’s pupils contracted slightly.

The sight before him was astounding... the entire valley was shrouded in milky white spiritual mist, the spiritual energy at the entrance nearly congealed into liquid, refracting seven-colored light under the sunlight.

He instantly felt all his pores open up.

This mouthful of spiritual energy was comparable to a Low-grade Spirit Stone!

"If one could cultivate here..."

While Gu Sheng was pondering, his expression suddenly turned stern.

"Who?"

A cold female voice came from within the valley, and shortly after, a white silhouette broke through the spiritual mist, standing in mid-air.

It was a woman, appearing around twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, dressed in white as pure as snow, with features as delicate as a painting, yet as cold as frost.

She wore a silver badge on her chest, engraved with the same Heavenly Ghost Sect emblem as that of the previous middle-aged man.

"Someone from the Heavenly Ghost Sect?"

Gu Sheng narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking to himself.

"And even a Heavenly Martial Realm... seems like this is the hidden master of the Heavenly Ghost Sect."

The woman’s phoenix eyes contained authority, coldly gazing at Gu Sheng.

"Who are you? Why do you trespass into the forbidden land of my Heavenly Ghost Sect?"

Gu Sheng replied respectfully.

"I am Gu Sheng, passing by by chance, detected an unusual spiritual energy, came to investigate. Did not know this place was forbidden by the Heavenly Ghost Sect, I apologize for any offense."

"Passing by by chance?"

The woman sneered softly.

"In this desolate wilderness, you, an Earth Martial Realm cultivator appearing alone, seems too coincidental."

Gu Sheng noticed that as the woman spoke, her right hand had already quietly rested on the sword hilt at her waist, her aura restrained yet harboring lethal intent.

He knew that any slight movement on his part would provoke her to strike with great force.

"The token of Tianyou Square?"

The woman chuckled coldly, her slender fingers lightly caressing the jade pendant hanging from her waist.

"It so happens, I got mine from Tianyou Square too. But the opportunity in this valley is only enough for one."

Before she finished speaking, her True Qi suddenly erupted, the pressure from her Third Level Heavenly Martial Realm engulfed Gu Sheng like a tidal wave.

The fragments of stones on the ground cracked under this pressure, emitting a faint cracking sound.

Gu Sheng frowned slightly, yet remained motionless.

The power of his Nine Great Cave Heavens moved quietly within, dissolving this pressure into nothing.
