Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World Chapter 1645 - 835: Seal Core (2)

Gu Ningshuang also looked solemn.
"Forcibly controlling the mind and reading memories... This is definitely not a common method."
Shen Qingtan looked at Shadow leading the way silently ahead and asked softly.
"Senior Shadow, what exactly is the background of the Law Enforcement Hall?"
Shadow’s footsteps didn’t stop, and a low voice came.
"The Law Enforcement Hall is not a force of any sect. It is an order organization inherited from the era of Central Province Divine Dynasty, independent from all major forces, specializing in maintaining the order and laws of the major cities in Central Province.
Its members come from various backgrounds, complex as it may be, but all must pass strict selection and Secret Technique enhancement.
The person earlier used Law Enforcement Hall’s secret ’Heart Inquiry Technique’, together with the ’Soul Suppressing Order’, which can forcibly deter the mind, causing Low-level Martial Artists to reveal the truth, similar in effect to the lost Ancient ’Soul Capturing Technique’, yet more limited and requires Magical Treasure assistance."
"Divine Dynasty inheritance? Heart Inquiry Technique? Soul Suppressing Order?"
The three women listened and were secretly shocked.
This Central Province is indeed unpredictably deep! Even the Law Enforcement Hall maintaining order holds such bizarre and powerful methods.
"Will that young master’s family seek revenge?"
Qin Yurou was still somewhat worried.
"The name of Tantai is the best Amulet."
Shadow’s voice was calm.
"If they do not wish to extinguish their clan, they dare not."
These words were spoken firmly, with absolute confidence.
The three women, upon hearing this, felt somewhat reassured, and at the same time gained a more direct understanding of Tantai family’s terrifying influence in Central Province.
Led by Shadow, the four passed through bustling streets, twisting and turning, eventually arriving at a relatively quiet area.
The architecture here remained tall and majestic, but the style differed from the mainstream luxury of Wanxiang Imperial City, appearing more ancient, restrained, and oozing a heavy heritage.
In front, a vast and imposing workshop appeared.
The workshop style was surprisingly similar to Linyin Pavilion in East Desolation Great Wilderness City!
Also featuring flying eaves and overhangs, decorated beams and painted structures, towering gatehouses hung with a giant plaque inscribed with three ancient seal characters—Ten Thousand Treasures Tower!
"Here..."
Shen Qingtan looked on with astonishment.
"Ten Thousand Treasures Tower, Linyin Pavilion’s headquarters in Central Province."
Shadow briefly explained, then led the three towards an unremarkable small door at the side and rear of Ten Thousand Treasures Tower.
The small door silently opened, revealing a woman already waiting there, wearing a simple white gauze dress, her face covered with light gauze, showing only a pair of clear eyes.
She had a graceful figure, an ethereal and cold demeanor, like a Moon Palace Immortal.
"Lord Shadow."
The white gauze woman gave Shadow a polite bow, her voice as pleasant as spring water hitting stone.
"It’s been a hard journey. I’ll take care of the three ladies."
Shadow stopped and nodded slightly to the white gauze woman.
"Thank you, Moon Envoy."
Then he turned to Shen Qingtan and the three others.
"My task is complete. The three ladies can wait here quietly, the family will naturally come to meet you."
After speaking, Shadow’s figure silently vanished, as if he had never appeared.
"Ladies, please follow me."
The white gauze woman—Moon Envoy, gestured to Shen Qingtan and the three, her voice gentle.
The three women followed the Moon Envoy, passing through the small door and entering Ten Thousand Treasures Tower’s interior.
Inside was not the hustle and bustle of a shop, but quiet corridors and courtyards, a serene and elegant environment filled with Spiritual Energy.
Moon Envoy led them to a Quiet Room decorated in an extremely simple manner.
The Quiet Room was not large, simply furnished with only a few prayer mats and a low table.
On the low table sat a small copper incense burner, from which a wisp of pale blue smoke gently rose.
The smoke was not thick, yet carried a peculiar calm and heavy aroma.
Inhaling a breath brought tranquility to the mind, and even the True Yuan within seemed more active.
"Burning inside is ’North Sea Mystical Turtle Demon Pill Fragrance’.
Moon Envoy softly explained, her voice extraordinarily clear in the quiet room.
"This fragrance is made with a millennial Mystic Turtle Demon Pill as the main ingredient, supplemented by dozens of rare Spiritual Medicines.
For Martial Artists below King Realm, it has the effect of Concentrating Spirit, calming the mind, nurturing meridians, aiding cultivation, and enhancing cultivation.
The three ladies have traveled far and can slightly rest here, adjusting their breath. The family support will arrive soon."
After speaking, she slightly bowed to the three.
"If you need anything, just voice a call, someone will be waiting outside. The Moon Envoy will take her leave."
The Moon Envoy’s figure gracefully departed, leaving Shen Qingtan, Gu Ningshuang, and Qin Yurou in the Quiet Room filled with the strange fragrance.
The three women exchanged glances, each seeing shock and reassurance in the other’s eyes.
Indeed, the heritage of Ten Thousand Treasures Tower (Linyin Pavilion headquarters) is unpredictable.
Even the resting place burns such precious Spiritual incense!
Without saying more, they each found a prayer mat and sat cross-legged.
In the Quiet Room, the pale blue smoke gently swirled, and the calm, heavy aura enveloped them, slowly allowing their tense nerves to relax.
Within, the True Yuan nourished by the scent began to circulate slowly, repairing the travel exhaustion.
They closed their eyes and began adjusting their breath, quietly waiting for the Tantai family’s arrival.
After leaving the ancient manor, Gu Sheng’s group didn’t head directly to the sealed ground across the Immortal Pool, but under Xia Fuqu’s guidance, bypassed the mist-filled waters, heading deeper into the Secret Realm.
The deeper they went, the more concentrated the Spiritual Energy became, filled with an ancient and desolate aura.
The surrounding vegetation also became more peculiar, with some Ancient Spiritual Plants long extinct in the outside world stubbornly growing here.
After traveling for about the time it takes to burn a stick of incense, the view ahead suddenly opened up.
A huge green light screen, like an inverted giant bowl, stood quietly before them.
The light screen flowed with gentle light, runes faintly visible on its surface, exuding powerful and stable sealing force.
Through the slightly transparent light screen, one could clearly see the inside.
Within the light screen was not land, but viscous liquid emanating a faint cyan-golden glow.
In the center of the liquid stood a not-so-large jade platform.
On the platform, a figure in plain robes stood quietly—Situ Qingfeng!
But at this moment, Situ Qingfeng’s eyes were closed, his expression vacant, as if he had lost all consciousness, like a sculpture without a soul.
Golden runes bound his body, deeply embedded into the jade platform beneath him, united with the entire light screen seal.
Viscous liquid was slowly flowing and enveloping him, seemingly extracting something, or perhaps maintaining something.
"This is the... true core of the seal."
Xia Fuqu’s voice was heavy, watching the vacant figure within the light screen, her eyes filled with complex emotion.
"Years ago, Wuya Holy Land suffered a Great Tribulation. The Holy Master, to preserve the Holy Land’s flame and avoid inheritance discontinuity, exhausted the last of his power to create this small space.
And sealed the most core inheritance and a group of extraordinarily talented disciples within, sleeping in the Heavenly Marrow Spirit Liquid, awaiting an opportunity for future resurrection."
She pointed to the cyan-golden liquid inside the light screen.
"This is ’Heavenly Marrow Spirit Liquid’, created by Holy Land through countless Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, merging Earth Vein Spirit Marrow and Ancient Treasures.
The vitality and Spiritual Power within are enough to keep the body from decaying and the Divine Soul from perishing, even slowly nourishing and enhancing cultivation over long years.
The current Wuya Sect... was established by the first batch of ’flames’ to awaken prematurely from the seal. And I... am one of them."
Gu Sheng was shocked upon hearing this. Wuya Sect indeed has such a background! Built by the flames preserved by Wuya Holy Land!
No wonder its heritage is so profound, able to rival Mystic Sect in Great Wilderness City.
Xia Fuqu’s identity was also finally revealed—she was one of the sealed Holy Land Core Disciples!
Bai Yu and Bai Zhi showed astonishment on their faces, obviously hearing this secret for the first time.
Xiao Mengling held the bamboo scroll, her gaze serene, seemingly unsurprised.
