Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World Chapter 1508 - 777: Background

"Mu Xue, did your sister ever tell you what we should do if... if something unexpected happens?"

Gu Sheng cautiously asked, not wanting to frighten the little girl.

Mu Xue bit her lip and pulled out an ancient talisman from her bosom.

"Sister gave me the Ancient Great Shift Talisman and said that if she... if something happened to her, I should take it and leave with you. She has set up precautions outside."

Gu Sheng took the talisman and felt the immense power of space contained within it.

He recalled his agreement with Miao Muqing... After helping the Southern Emperor’s residual soul rekindle, he could leave.

Now that the Southern Emperor had awakened and was fighting with the ancestors of the Seventy-two Divine Sects, it was indeed not a situation he could intervene in.

"What about the others?"

Gu Sheng asked.

"Did your sister prepare a contingency plan for them?"

Mu Xue shook her head, tears welling up in her big eyes.

"Sister said... they are all prepared to die for the Southern Emperor Lineage. Only because I’m young did she..."

Gu Sheng remained silent.

He understood their choice; in the Cultivation World, some beliefs were more important than life.

But now, he must ensure Mu Xue’s safety.

"Let’s go."

Gu Sheng stood up, taking Mu Xue’s small hand.

"Prepare the Ancient Great Shift Talisman, I’ll take you out of here."

Mu Xue nodded and took out an ancient ring from the Storage Ring, handing it to Gu Sheng.

"This is the Southern Emperor’s Hidden Treasure. Sister said if she falls and you’re willing to protect me when leaving, give this to you."

Upon hearing the girl’s words, Gu Sheng’s pupils slightly contracted, then his lips curled into a knowing smile.

"So that’s how it is... Senior Sister Miao truly left no stone unturned."

He gently stroked his chin, his gaze landing on the Storage Ring in the girl’s hand.

The ancient ring glimmered faintly with a purple light in the dim light, a unique mark of the Southern Emperor Lineage.

The girl’s slender fingers tightened, clutching the Storage Ring in her palm.

"Mu Qing said the contents of this ring are enough to tempt any King Realm expert."

Gu Sheng laughed lightly, his eyes showing admiration.

"Was she worried I’d abandon you halfway?"

He shook his head.

"Alright, keep it with you for now, give it to me when you’re safe."

The girl’s tense expression slightly relaxed as she pulled out a silver-glowing ancient talisman from her bosom, its surface densely engraved with space runes.

"The Ancient Great Shift Talisman?"

A gleam flashed in Gu Sheng’s eyes.

"No wonder Senior Sister Miao dared let you come alone."

"This is one of the last three taken from the Southern Emperor’s hidden treasure by Sister Muqing."

The girl.

"It can ignore the Secret Realm’s restrictions and directly teleport to a preset location."

Gu Sheng nodded, saying no more.

The girl pressed the talisman to her palm, muttering under her breath.

As the spell was completed, the runes on the talisman lit up one by one, and the silver light flowed like water, quickly enveloping them both.

"Hold tight!"

The girl shouted.

Just as the white light was about to engulf them, Gu Sheng caught a glimpse of a blinding light suddenly rising on the distant horizon.

The light was like the rising sun, yet carried a destructive aura.

"That is..."

Before he could finish, the white light completely engulfed the two of them.

The twisting pull of space came, and Gu Sheng felt as if his insides were about to be torn out.

The power of the Ancient Great Shift Talisman far exceeded that of an ordinary Teleportation Talisman, and even given his current cultivation, he felt a wave of dizziness.

Meanwhile, above the Purple Mist Cave Heaven.

The Southern Emperor’s residual soul stood in mid-air, her white robe billowing without wind.

Suspended around her were dozens of powerful ancestors of the Divine Sect, each radiating at least late King Realm pressure.

"Southern Emperor, hand over the Hidden Treasure Key, and we can give you a dignified end!"

The Longevity Divine Sect’s ancestor shouted sternly, wielding a blood-red long blade exuding a frightening sharpness.

The Southern Emperor’s face was calm, her gaze empty.

She slowly raised her right hand, her slender fingers gently closing.

"Boom!"

A nearby Divine Sect ancestor couldn’t even react before erupting into a blood mist in the air.

Before the blood mist dispersed, the Southern Emperor casually waved it, transforming it into a blood dragon lunging at another enemy.

"Watch out! She has lost her mind and only has a killing instinct left!"

Someone shouted in alarm.

Dozens of ancestors attacked simultaneously, various True Qi attacks raining down like a storm.

The Southern Emperor did not dodge or evade, letting the attacks fall on her.

Strangely, the forces sufficient to destroy mountains vanished like mud into the sea, failing to lift even a corner of her robe.

"Not good! She’s absorbing our attacks!"

The Longevity Ancestor’s face changed dramatically.

"Form the formation! Quickly form the ’Nine Nether Locking Heaven Formation’!"

The ancestors rapidly shifted positions, shooting chains of True Qi from their hands, weaving a vast net in the sky.

The Southern Emperor finally moved, her figure flashing to appear before one ancestor, delivering another punch.

"Poof..."

Another ancestor fell.

But this time, the chains of True Qi wrapped around her like living things, slightly hindering her movements.

More chains surged from all directions, soon encasing her in a cocoon of light.

"It’s working! Keep channeling True Qi!"

The Longevity Ancestor looked delighted.

In the cocoon of light, the Southern Emperor ceased struggling.

Just as the crowd believed victory was in sight, a crack appeared on the surface of the cocoon.

"Crack..."

The crack rapidly spread, covering the entire cocoon in the blink of an eye.

The joy on the Longevity Ancestor’s face froze.

"No! She is going to..."

Before he finished, the cocoon exploded.

The Southern Emperor reappeared in their view, a strange smile on her lips.

"Retreat quickly! She’s going to self-destruct!"
