Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World Chapter 1708 - 867: The Unprecedented Strongest Sect Realm!
Previously on Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World...
Gu Sheng no longer hesitated, operated the cultivation technique, and cautiously enveloped the Essence Blood Pearl with his own pure True Qi, beginning to slowly absorb the vast ocean-like power within, guiding it into his limbs and bones, flushing his meridians, nourishing his Qi-Blood, and strengthening his physical body.
Buzz——!
At the instant the power within the Essence Blood Pearl was activated, the spiritual energy of nature in the entire tomb chamber seemed to ignite!
The intensely pure spiritual energy was pulled in, crazily converging, transforming into a milky-white spiritual energy tornado visible to the naked eye, violently spiraling around the seated Gu Sheng, and then, like the Milky Way pouring down, it wildly poured in through the Bai Hui Acupoint at the top of his head!
At the same time, behind Gu Sheng, the Void slightly twisted, and four beams of different colors and distinct auras slowly appeared, floating up and down.
One beam was filled with vigorous Qi-Blood, containing endless vitality and energy, like the rising morning sun; it was the Longevity Dao Rhyme!
Another beam was incomparably sharp, as though it could cut through all worldly bonds, permeating with the intent of space cutting; this was the Eastern Emperor Thousand Illusions Path Dao Rhyme!
Yet another beam was heavy and vast, carrying the will to bear all things and suppress all directions; this was the Earth Element Dao Rhyme acquired from the mysterious Stone Bead!
The final beam was just entry-level, yet the most mysterious and ethereal, shining with the brilliance of stars, containing the aura of the Path of Fate Dao Rhyme!
These four Dao Rhythms were the foundation Gu Sheng planned for his Fusion Dao! He intended to integrate and unify these four powerful Dao Rhythms, using them as a foundation to step into the Sect Realm and achieve the strongest Sect Realm ever!
Fusion Dao begins!
Gu Sheng focused his mind, first locking onto the Longevity Dao Rhyme, which had the gentlest aura and was most in harmony with his physical body.
"Fuse!"
He shouted in a low voice, controlling the light cluster emanating with powerful Qi-Blood radiance of the Longevity Dao Rhyme, slowly detaching it from its original position, resembling a gentle yet powerful red Flood Dragon, slowly pouring into his spinal column!
Integrating the Dao Rhyme into the physical body is by no means easy!
At the moment the Longevity Dao Rhyme touched his spinal bones——
Crack! Cr-crack——!
A dense and teeth-jarring sound of bones shattering, like frying beans, exploded from within his body!
Indescribable pain, like a tide, instantly swept through every nerve in his body! The sensation was as if his entire spine was being smashed inch by inch with a heavy hammer, and then thrown into a furnace to be tempered!
Gu Sheng’s face instantly turned as pale as paper, veins bulged on his forehead and neck, and large beads of cold sweat flowed like streams, soaking his entire garment.
He clenched his teeth tightly, even able to hear the grating sound of his teeth grinding, a thread of blood seeping from the corner of his mouth, yet he did not let out a single sound of pain. He relied on terrifyingly tenacious willpower, stubbornly sustaining, maintaining the operation of the cultivation technique, guiding the Longevity Dao Rhyme to completely fuse with his spinal column, with the entire skeletal structure.
This was a process of destruction first, then establishment, a metamorphosis at the life level!
Time passed slowly amidst the extreme pain. It took the duration of a stick of incense for that flaying-like pain to slowly recede like the tide.
Once the last trace of the Longevity Dao Rhyme fully integrated into his skeletal structure, the previously fractured spinal column, along with other bones affected, rapidly healed and reshaped at a visible speed under the influence of the immense vitality!
New, more resilient bone material, shimmering with a faint jade-like sheen, grew at the fracture points. Upon the bones, the red Longevity Dao Patterns faintly formed naturally.
The agonizing pain completely vanished, replaced by a surging, mighty stream of vitality, instantly flooding his entire body!
Gu Sheng could clearly feel that his physical body’s vitality had undergone a qualitative leap! His Qi Blood Power had thickened several times over, his organs were filled with vitality, and his meridians broader and sturdier.
He even had the intuition that even if, at this moment, he were reduced to just a head, he could, with the horrifying vitality brought by the Dao Rhyme integrated into his bones, reforge a complete body in a short time by consuming a large amount of energy!
He exhaled a long breath of turbid air with a hint of blood scent, slowly stood up, and moved his body slightly. A series of crisp popping sounds came from his bones, as if his Qi-Blood was flowing like the Yangtze River, roaring, in a state better than ever!
"The Longevity Dao Rhyme has finally fully integrated into the foundation of the body..."
A flash of satisfaction passed in Gu Sheng’s eyes, but then he became more solemn.
"But this is just the beginning. The Longevity Dao is the gentlest; the upcoming Eastern Emperor Thousand Illusions Path, Earth Element Dao Rhyme, and Path of Fate, each is more domineering and more profound. The difficulty and danger of integrating them will likely far exceed the Longevity Dao!"
He sat cross-legged again, ready to push through in one go, continuing the Fusion Dao.
Just at this moment, an unexpected change occurred again.
A spiritual light floated out from within him, landing to the side, transforming into a small, exquisitely carved girl; it was Gu Ling’er.
She mimicked Gu Sheng’s posture, sitting cross-legged beside him in a similar manner.
Gu Sheng looked at her in surprise.
"Ling’er? Why did you come out?"
Gu Ling’er pouted her small mouth in dissatisfaction and said.
"Bad guy, how dare you ask! Ever since you entered this strange tomb chamber, a mysterious power here has blocked my perception of the outside! I couldn’t perceive the outside world through your body like before, nor could I communicate with you mentally. I was almost suffocating! I had to come out for some fresh air and to personally tell you some things."
