Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World Chapter 1646 - 836: Vigilance

"Senior Situ he..."

Gu Sheng looked at Situ Qingfeng, whose expression was dazed inside the light screen, with tightly furrowed brows.

"His condition seems..."

"Very bad."

Xia Fuqu’s voice was filled with sorrow.

"Back then, to cover our retreat, he forcibly triggered a Secret Technique, depleting his Source, which injured his very foundation. Although he was timely sealed here, his Divine Soul was heavily damaged, plunging him into deep slumber.

Over a thousand years, although the Heavenly Marrow Spirit Liquid has preserved his life and cultivation foundation, it has never been able to awaken his consciousness. Moreover..."

She paused, her tone even more grave.

"In the past century, we’ve discovered that the effectiveness of the Heavenly Marrow Spirit Liquid seems to be slowly diminishing, its nourishing effect far less than before. This is why we are eager to find a way to awaken him."

Gu Sheng’s gaze was once again fixed on the thick azure-golden liquid inside the light screen.

With his keen eyesight, he could clearly sense that while the liquid still contained immense energy, the most pure and essential aura of Life Origin within it had indeed thinned considerably, far from the miraculous state Xia Fuqu described.

"How do we open this light screen?"

Gu Sheng asked in a deep voice. The urgent task was to first bring Situ Qingfeng out.

Xia Fuqu looked towards Xiao Mengling.

"Miss Meng Ling, we need to work together."

Xiao Mengling nodded silently, holding the bamboo scroll as she approached the light screen.

Xia Fuqu stood by her side, her hands forming seals, a wave of pure and powerful True Yuan emanating from within her.

Xiao Mengling closed her eyes once more and began to chant in a low, ancient, and obscure language.

The bamboo scroll in her arms floated up and unfurled again, radiating a gentle light.

Simultaneously, Xia Fuqu continued to channel her True Yuan into the bamboo scroll, guiding its light to resonate with the runes on the light screen.

The turquoise-green light screen started to shake violently! The runes on its surface flowed and rearranged!

A gap just wide enough for one person to pass through slowly split open at the center of the light screen!

"Master Gu! Quickly!"

Xia Fuqu shouted lowly, sweat appearing on her forehead, clearly struggling to maintain the passage.

Without a moment’s hesitation, Gu Sheng flashed through the gap and entered the light screen!

Upon entering, an indescribable thickness and immense pressure surged from all directions!

The azure-golden Heavenly Marrow Spirit Liquid crazily pressed and infiltrated toward him!

At the same time, a surge of energy so pure to the extreme coursed through his pores and into his body, invigorating his spirit!

But at this moment, Gu Sheng had no time to enjoy the nourishment of this energy. His eyes were locked on Situ Qingfeng on the jade platform.

He mobilized his True Yuan, resisting the immense pressure of the spirit liquid, and swam rapidly towards the platform.

The closer he got to the platform, the stronger his sense of regret grew.

He clearly sensed that though the surrounding Heavenly Marrow Spirit Liquid still contained overwhelming energy, the core force capable of nourishing and repairing the Divine Soul Source had entirely dissipated!

What remained primarily maintained physical vitality and provided energy. No wonder Situ Qingfeng remained unconscious for thousands of years, his awareness unable to awaken!

He quickly swam to the side of the jade platform. Observing from close up, Situ Qingfeng’s face was even clearer, his vacant expression heart-wrenching.

Gu Sheng reached out, carefully touching the pale golden Rune Lock Chain entwined around Situ Qingfeng.

The chain was cold and solid, tightly connected to the entire Sealing Array.

"Senior, forgive me."

Gu Sheng whispered, then operated his True Yuan, enveloping Situ Qingfeng’s body, attempting to take him away from the platform.

The Rune Lock Chain didn’t budge in the slightest!

Just as Gu Sheng prepared to increase his strength, trying to forcibly break the chains—

Outside the light screen, Xia Fuqu, who had been intently maintaining the passage, suddenly changed her expression!

She abruptly raised her head, her sharp gaze sweeping toward the direction from which everyone had arrived, shouting harshly.

"Watch out! Someone’s here!"

Almost as she spoke, Bai Yu and Bai Zhi instantly reacted!

Bai Yu stepped forward, shielding his sister behind him, unleashing a powerful burst of spiritual power to form a solid barrier around everyone!

Though Bai Zhi’s aura was weak, she gritted her teeth and pushed her spiritual power, helping her brother reinforce the barrier!

Xiao Mengling also ceased her chanting, her hands clutching the floating bamboo scroll tightly, from which a protective light emanated!

A flippant and mocking male voice suddenly echoed in everyone’s ears without any sign, clearly invading each person’s Sea of Consciousness:

"Tsk tsk tsk, quick reactions. But alas...in front of me, it’s just futile struggle."

With the voice, a chilling, evil, and endlessly malevolent spiritual pressure instantly engulfed the entire space!

The spiritual power barrier set up by Bai Yu and Bai Zhi trembled violently under this pressure, emitting groans of being overwhelmed!

At the moment the flippant, malicious voice rang out, a chilling, evil spiritual pressure pounded down!

Bai Yu and Bai Zhi bore the brunt!

The siblings were struck as if by a heavy hammer, their bodies shuddering, simultaneously spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood!

The blood shockingly carried a strange black mist!

Their faces instantly turned pale, their breaths rapidly withered, and their vitality seemed to be gnawed away by invisible worms, swiftly ebbing!

A cold Evil Qi, like a maggot, madly eroded their meridians and Divine Soul!

"Xiao Beixuan!"

Xia Fuqu recognized the intruder, her pupils contracting rapidly, her voice filled with deep hatred and shock!

The intruder was clad in a dark robe, his visage grim, eyes like a viper, with a mocking and cruel smile at the corner of his mouth—it was Xiao Beixuan!
