Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World Chapter 1505 - 775: Follow Me (Part 2)

"Is that where the Southern Emperor’s remains are?"

Gu Sheng felt a stir within his heart, intending to swim over and investigate, but suddenly a sharp pain came from his left arm.

"Hmm?"

Gu Sheng looked down and saw that the Heavenly Demon Vine wrapped around his left arm had awoken without his knowledge, the slender tendrils trembling slightly, transmitting a strong sense of yearning.

"You want to devour those Daoist Rhythm energies?"

Gu Sheng frowned deeply, asking through their spiritual connection.

The Heavenly Demon Vine responded affirmatively, the spikes on the tendrils slightly raised, appearing exceptionally excited.

Gu Sheng weighed the pros and cons in his mind.

If the Heavenly Demon Vine could devour the Southern Emperor’s Daoist Rhythm, its power would undoubtedly increase greatly, but...

"No way!"

Gu Sheng decisively suppressed the Heavenly Demon Vine’s agitation.

"If I disturb the Southern Emperor’s remains now, the Southern Emperor Lineage and all the Divine Sects will immediately turn against me. Besides, who knows what dangers lie beneath that seal?"

The Heavenly Demon Vine twisted a few times with reluctance, but under Gu Sheng’s strong suppression, it eventually settled down.

Just as Gu Sheng was preparing to continue his investigation, a sudden rumbling sound came from afar.

"Someone is coming!"

Gu Sheng swiftly broke the surface, wiping the water from his face, and looked cautiously towards the source of the sound.

Dust rose in the distance, a white-clothed girl riding a large white demon beast was charging towards them.

The beast resembled a white tiger but had six legs, running with a wind underfoot and at an astonishing speed.

And behind them, no less than twenty martial artists were in hot pursuit.

Their clothing was varied, but each emitted a powerful aura without exception.

"All are in the Sect Realm!"

Gu Sheng’s pupils contracted sharply.

"And at least mid-Sect Realm!"

He immediately restrained his aura, his body slightly sinking, exposing only the part above the eyes above the water surface.

Faced with so many Sect Realm powerhouses, even he dared not make any rash moves.

The white-clothed girl seemed to have noticed Gu Sheng’s presence, turned her head to glance in his direction.

Just that one glance made Gu Sheng’s heart tremble.

"It’s not Miao Muqing!"

Although the appearance was seventy to eighty percent similar, the girl’s eyes were sharper, her brows lacking a gentle touch, with more of a fierce killing aura.

"Mu Xue?"

Gu Sheng recalled Miao Muqing had mentioned another "her," and suddenly understood.

"It seems Miao Muqing’s situation is more serious than imagined, allowing Mu Xue to take control of the body."

The white-clothed girl suddenly raised her hand and cast a spell in Gu Sheng’s direction, transmitting a message simultaneously.

"Hide in the Immortal Pool! They dare not enter!"

The voice was clear but carried a commanding tone of unquestionable authority, starkly contrasting with Miao Muqing’s gentleness.

Gu Sheng hesitated slightly but saw the pursuers drawing nearer, deciding to trust the girl’s words.

He dove back underwater.

At the moment he entered the water, the white-clothed girl suddenly slapped the demon beast beneath her, the six-legged white tiger let out a thunderous roar, and its speed soared once more.

The girl then leapt up from the beast’s back, rapidly forming seals with her hands.

"Southern Emperor’s Immortal Art · Soul-Devouring Bone Corrosion Array!"

With a clear shout, the ground suddenly shook violently.

Countless dark cracks spread outwards from her center, dense black smoke gushed from the cracks, engulfing a hundred meters in an instant.

"Seal this area! Do not easily enter the smoke’s range!"

The white-robed elder’s stern command echoed in the valley, and the dozens of Sect Realm powerhouses stopped in unison, looking gravely at the valley below enveloped in swirling black smoke.

The smoke rolled like a living being, with faint flashes of purple light, chilling to behold.

"The Southern Emperor Lineage’s Poison Array truly lives up to its name."

A middle-aged man carrying a longsword spoke in a deep voice, his Protective True Qi cautiously probing the edge of the smoke, immediately emitting a hissing corrosion sound.

The white-robed elder coldly snorted.

"Below King Realm, touching it means death. This Poison Array has been prepared at least a year in advance, the Southern Emperor Lineage’s arrangement is earlier than we imagined."

"What should we do? Just wait?"

A burly man with a face full of muscle impatiently waved the giant axe in his hand.

"That little girl jumped with the Southern Emperor’s inheritance!"

"Why so anxious!"

The white-robed elder flicked his sleeve, a white light forced the burly man back several steps.

"The Southern Emperor’s Daughter’s soul is too weak to break the seal. As long as we wait for the King Realm patriarchs to deal with the remnants of the Southern Emperor Lineage, the things in this valley will be ours sooner or later!"

The crowd heard, though unwilling, they could only hold back.

After all, none wished to test that horrifying smoke with their lives.

Meanwhile, deep within the Creation Immortal Pool.

The pool water was crystal clear yet deep and unfathomable.

Gu Sheng was surrounded by a layer of light golden light shield, isolating the pool water outside.

The girl beside him had her eyes closed, her long hair spread like ink, slowly flowing in the water.

"Where is your sister?"

Gu Sheng transmitted through spiritual power, the voice directly resounded in the girl’s Sea of Consciousness.

The girl’s eyelashes trembled, but she did not open her eyes.

"I don’t know... We were hunted, to protect me, sister’s soul was damaged..."

Gu Sheng’s brows furrowed slightly.

He had long sensed two soul fluctuations within the body, one strong yet youthful, the other weak yet profound.

Now it seemed the weak one was the soul of the Southern Emperor’s Daughter, Miao Muqing.

"She won’t last much longer."

Gu Sheng stated bluntly.

"The Southern Emperor’s remains are sealed down at the right side of the Immortal Pool, we should head over."

The girl finally opened her eyes and nodded.

The two swam like fish towards the depths of the Immortal Pool.

As the depth increased, the pool water gradually changed from clear to light green, eventually presenting a strange purple-gold color.

Gu Sheng suddenly halted, his right hand began to tremble uncontrollably... more accurately, it was the Heavenly Demon Vine parasitic in his right arm agitating.

The ancient fierce creature seemed to have caught the scent of an extraordinary delicacy, frantically wishing to break free.

"Just ahead."

The girl transmitted, her voice suddenly becoming steady and calm, starkly different from before.

Gu Sheng glanced aside and saw the girl’s gaze had changed...from naive innocence to calm profundity.

He knew Miao Muqing had awoken.

"Didn’t expect you to arrive so fast."

Miao Muqing manipulated her younger sister’s body, a bitter smile curling at her lips.

"The enemies in Purple Mist Cave Heaven are more than I imagined."

"Enough talk."

Gu Sheng cut straight to the point.

"How do we break the seal? What’s behind it?"

Miao Muqing looked deeply at Gu Sheng.

"Besides the Southern Emperor’s remains, there’s some trinkets... and the sword he carried in life. All personally sealed by him before his fall."

"The Seventy-two Divine Sects have long had their eyes on these, right?"

"Certainly."

Miao Muqing sneered.

"But they can’t break the seal. The restriction left by the Southern Emperor, how could those fools possibly undo it?"

Gu Sheng’s eyes flashed with sharp light.

"Once the seal is broken, the treasure is mine."

"Granted."

Miao Muqing agreed readily.

"I just want the Southern Emperor’s remains. With that body, all troubles from the Southern Emperor Lineage will be easily resolved."

The two exchanged a glance, and once Gu Sheng confirmed Miao Muqing wasn’t lying, he nodded.

He closed his eyes and began to mobilize the long-dormant soul power in his Sea of Consciousness.

That was his greatest trump card...the powerful soul unique to transmigrators.

After years of cultivation in this world, his soul power had far exceeded others of his level, even rivaling some King Realm old monsters.

"Are you ready?"

Miao Muqing asked as she formed seals with her hands, a faint purple glow arising around her.

"The seal has three layers. The First repels the physical body, the Second repels True Qi, the Third repels spiritual strength. Only pure soul power can penetrate all obstacles."

Gu Sheng didn’t reply, as a golden pattern gradually appeared on his brow, slowly opening like a third eye.

Vast soul power formed visible ripples around him, stirring the surrounding pool water.

Miao Muqing’s eyes showed a hint of surprise, evidently not expecting Gu Sheng’s soul power to be so formidable.

But she quickly composed herself, her hands changing seal techniques.

"Follow me!"

Like arrows released from a bowstring, the two of them shot towards the deepest part of the Immortal Pool.

As they closed in, an invisible resistance grew stronger, as if the entire pool transformed into viscous gel, requiring immense effort to advance each inch.

"First layer of the seal!"

Miao Muqing shouted.
