Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World Chapter 1648 - 837: Fatal Strike
Previously on Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World...
She... she actually possesses the memories and existence of both?!
"Are you surprised?"
The little girl looked at Gu Sheng’s shocked expression, seemingly amused, and giggled, her laughter echoing in the Spiritual Liquid.
"I am surprised too. When I woke up from Chaos, my mind became filled with two completely different sets of memories. One set is the memory of the Spiritual Embryo, naive and full of curiosity about the world.
The other set... belongs to that ancient existence—Miao Muqing, long and fragmented memory shards."
She floated closer to Gu Sheng, her clear eyes staring straight at him.
"What’s even stranger is, I also share some fragmentary memories from your... this ’reincarnated Immortal Emperor’s’ soul. Though blurry, the feeling of overlooking the heavens and mastering the realms... is truly desirable."
Her tone carried longing, as well as an unnoticeable reverence.
Gu Sheng stared intently at the little girl in front of him, who claimed to have fused the memories of the Spiritual Embryo and Miao Muqing, his heart in tumult!
The origin of that mysterious great cauldron within him, the secret of his Immortal Emperor soul...
These absolute secrets he had never shared with anyone were actually revealed by this little girl in front of him! This soul blood contract sharing, so thorough?!
"So," the little girl spread her small hands, her tone carrying a peculiar calmness.
"I am neither purely the Spiritual Embryo nor wholly Miao Muqing. I am... a brand-new existence. You can call me... hmm, I don’t have a name yet."
She blinked her big eyes, looking at Gu Sheng, with anticipation.
"Could you help me pick a name? After all, in a certain sense, you created me."
Gu Sheng looked into her eyes that were clear yet mischievous and ancient, paused for a moment, and slowly spoke.
"Qin Ling’er. Share my surname Qin, with the name Ling’er."
"Qin Ling’er..."
The little girl repeated softly, her eyes shimmering with light, then she burst into a cheerful laugh.
"Great! From now on, I will be called Qin Ling’er! Thank you, Gu Sheng!"
She seemed very satisfied with the name, and turned lightly in the Spiritual Liquid, her Seven-Colored Gauze Skirt dancing like a sprite in the water.
"Well, the name’s given, time to discuss serious matters."
Qin Ling’er stopped spinning, her little face becoming serious, as she pointed towards the jade stone platform and Situ Qingfeng.
"That stone platform, and the chain binding him, is not an ordinary restriction. It is constructed using ’unformed Innate Spirit Marrow’ as the core, forming the ’Sealing Soul Ban.’
These materials are extremely rare, and the restriction naturally possesses the effect of concealment and soul sealing; unless one is above the Venerable Realm or has special talent for breaking restrictions, it is very difficult to detect, much less break."
If you had recklessly touched it earlier, your Divine Soul would have immediately been sealed and locked, trapped in this pool forever like Situ Qingfeng."
Gu Sheng felt a wave of fear upon hearing this. Had Qin Ling’er not stopped him in time, the consequences would have been unimaginable!
"Then how can he be saved?"
Gu Sheng asked solemnly.
Qin Ling’er extended two slender fingers.
"Now, there are two ways."
"First," she held up one finger.
"You protect me with Soul Power, send me into the core area of the Sealing Soul Ban. I’ve inherited part of Miao Muqing’s abilities and memory, holding special methods to break these kinds of restrictions.
But this method requires your continuous output of Soul Power, it’s risky and might alarm the person who set up the restriction."
"Second," she held up another finger, her eyes glistening as she looked at the surrounding viscous cyan-golden Spiritual Liquid.
"I directly absorb the energy of this Heavenly Marrow Spirit Liquid! The energy contained in this Spirit Liquid is extremely vast and pure, especially its core Life Origin, though mostly depleted, the remaining part is enough for me to recover a considerable amount of strength.
As long as my power recovers a bit, I can forcefully break this Sealing Soul Ban! Moreover, absorbing this energy will greatly benefit me!"
She licked her lips, showing an expression of desire.
"So, which one will you choose?"
Gu Sheng hardly hesitated.
"The second way!"
Letting Qin Ling’er enter the restriction core is too risky, and requires his continuous output of Soul Power, which in this perilous environment is certainly not a wise decision.
In contrast, letting her absorb the Heavenly Marrow Spirit Liquid, not only can it break the ban to save the person, but also enhance her strength, achieving multiple goals!
As for the Spiritual Liquid being absorbed... after all, its core essence has long been mostly depleted, with the remaining energy rather than being wasted, might as well be put to use!
"Hehe, I knew you’d choose that!"
Qin Ling’er happily clapped her little hands, then her little face turned serious.
"Then step back a little, I’m going to start!"
Gu Sheng retreated several feet as instructed.
Only to see Qin Ling’er suspended in the Spiritual Liquid, slowly closing her eyes.
The surrounding viscous Spiritual Liquid seemed to respond to some supreme call, starting to surge violently!
The next moment, she suddenly opened her small mouth wide!
There was no earth-shattering momentum, but an indescribable terrifying suction suddenly erupted from her mouth!
Centered around Qin Ling’er, a massive vortex formed instantly!
The vortex spun furiously like a bottomless black hole, greedily devouring the surrounding viscous cyan-golden Spiritual Liquid!
That Heavenly Marrow Spirit Liquid, infused with vast Life Essence Qi and pure Spiritual Power, poured madly into Qin Ling’er’s small body!
Her body seemed to become a bottomless pit, no matter how much Spiritual Liquid poured in, it was swallowed and absorbed instantly!
The Seven-Colored Gauze Skirt on her body emitted a hazy glow, as if assisting her in refining this boundless energy.
Gu Sheng stood at the edge of the vortex, watching this scene in awe!
