Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World Chapter 1582 - 814: All Irrelevant Persons, Leave Immediately

Upon these words being spoken, Zhao Boyang and the others were taken aback. Zhao Boyang furrowed his brows slightly and looked at Jin’er.

Jin’er’s cold eyes narrowed slightly, meeting Gu Sheng’s calm gaze for a moment. The air seemed to freeze for an instant.

A faint ripple appeared in Jin’er’s eyes, then quickly subsided.

She slowly raised her right hand, bringing three fingers together, the fingertips emitting a faint gloomy light, her voice still cold, yet with an almost imperceptible hint of helplessness.

"I, Jin’er, swear by my Martial Arts heart that within the Secret Realm of the Thousand Souls Hall, I will never actively oppose Gu Sheng and his disciples. If I violate this oath, may my Dao Foundation collapse, and my Divine Soul extinguish."

With the oath established, an invisible binding force quietly descended.

Seeing this, Zhao Boyang secretly breathed a sigh of relief and hurried to smooth things over.

"Gu acts cautiously, as he should. Thus, we are truly allies now! There is no time to waste, the entrance is already open, let us enter quickly!"

Gu Sheng nodded slightly, saying no more.

The group no longer delayed, led by Zhao Boyang, they each stepped into the slowly rotating dark blue energy vortex.

Gu Sheng brought up the rear with Gu Yuanyuan.

The moment they stepped into the vortex, a strong sense of spatial pulling came over them, the light and shadows before their eyes shifting.

In just a few breaths, a feeling of solid ground underfoot came, and the group found themselves in a brand-new world.

The sight before them caused everyone except Gu Sheng and Jin’er to gasp in shock!

The sky wasn’t the familiar blue and white, but an eerie dark red, with a giant "moon" emitting a ghastly white light hanging high above, its surface covered in twisted black lines, exuding a chilling aura of death.

The earth was charred black, riddled with massive intersecting cracks, like scars torn open by giant claws.

Deep within the cracks, dark red magma flowed faintly, emitting a scorching heat that formed a bizarre contrast with the coldness of the sky.

The air was thick with the smell of sulfur and a sense of decay and decline, making it difficult to breathe.

In the distance, faint outlines of dilapidated ancient black palaces were visible, like the bones of a giant beast, standing on the desolate earth.

Even farther, there seemed to be endless mountain ranges, all shrouded in a layer of gray mist, making it difficult to see clearly.

"Is this place... the Secret Realm of the Thousand Souls Hall?"

A burly man spoke in a dry voice, instinctively tightening the grip on his giant axe.

"The No-fly Array is even stronger here."

The tall, thin Array Master felt the surroundings with a grave expression.

"The space here is extremely chaotic, the energy mixed and disorderly, making it impossible to fly through the sky, one can only travel on foot."

"Be cautious!"

Zhao Boyang said in a deep voice, his eyes sharply scanning the surroundings.

"This place is far more perilous than the outer ruins, stay close to the group, and do not act on your own!"

Everyone nodded in agreement, their expressions tense.

Gu Yuanyuan instinctively moved a step closer to Gu Sheng.

The group began to move quickly along the ground.

Although they couldn’t fly, they were all skilled Martial Artists, their speed still incredibly fast, like several gusts of wind sweeping across the charred, desolate land.

As they traveled, Gu Yuanyuan quietly transmitted her voice to Gu Sheng.

"Master, that Jin’er... I just have this indescribable feeling about her, very... dangerous."

Gu Sheng’s expression didn’t change, he also transmitted his voice back.

"I have noticed. This girl is concealing something with a secret treasure, her aura is strange, seemingly alive and dead.

When she swore, there was an anomaly in her Divine Soul’s fluctuation. Just keep an eye on her, I have my own judgment."

Gu Yuanyuan felt a chill in her heart and quickly responded.

"Yes, I understand, Master."

The group pressed on, and soon an incense stick’s amount of time had passed.

Ahead, the outline of an even larger, more ruined group of black palaces gradually became clear.

This group of palaces was built along the mountain, grand in scale, even though only broken walls and ruins remained, one could still feel the grandeur it once had.

At the center of the palace group, the faint outline of the tallest black structure could be seen, piercing the dark red sky, exuding a daunting pressure.

"We are almost there! Ahead is the core area of the Thousand Souls Hall!"

Zhao Boyang’s spirit lifted, pointing to that structure.

"Our target for this trip is near that ’Soul Burial Tower’!"

He spoke as he traveled, saying to the nearby Gu Sheng.

"Gu, to be frank, this Secret Realm of the Thousand Souls Hall hasn’t opened for the first time. A few months ago, there were unusual phenomena here, with abnormal energy fluctuations.

Dozens of days ago, the Secret Realm entrance briefly opened once, and at that time, a few True Disciples from the Great Wilderness Holy Academy were exploring nearby and ventured in. One of them was the renowned ’Junior Sister Bai’ of the Holy Academy."

Zhao Boyang’s tone became heavy.

"The entrance soon closed on its own and has not opened since. Only sporadic messages got out, saying that Junior Sister Bai and her companions encountered incidents deeper within the realm, seemingly... having been set up and trapped in a certain dead end!

Life and death unknown! The high ranks of the Holy Academy are furious, thus sending us to explore and rescue."

"Set up?"

Gu Sheng’s eyes twitched slightly.

"Indeed!"

Zhao Boyang’s eyes flashed with cold light.

"According to one disciple who barely escaped, severely injured, and on the brink of death, they seemed to have fallen into some trap, led into a dead end, then... the entrance was forcibly shut by some power! Achieving this means they are no ordinary force!

Within this Secret Realm, there might be troops from other factions, and... they bear ill intentions!"

He paused, glancing around at the eerie and ominous surroundings, lowering his voice.

"Gu, do you know, this Wuya Ancient City ruin, in an ancient era, was once an exceedingly powerful Martial Arts Holy Land on the Eastern Desolate Land — the Wuya Holy Land! In its peak, it dominated the regions, with unfathomable heritage!
