Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World Chapter 1728 - 877: Half-Step Sect Realm
Previously on Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World...
And the key content of the latter part was sealed by him with a powerful seal using his own pure soul power.
"This is Lan Liyue’s legacy."
Gu Sheng handed the jade talisman to Qidiao Wu.
"The first half is enough for the Five Poison Divine Sect to digest for years. The latter half involves the methods of a Saint, and I’ve set a soul seal on it. When you attain the Saint Realm one day, the seal will naturally dissolve."
Qidiao Wu eagerly took the jade talisman and probed it with his spiritual power, beginning to browse.
The vast and profound legacy information left him enthralled, but when he attempted to touch the latter part, a powerful soul force suddenly rebounded, causing his Sea of Consciousness to tingle painfully, and his spiritual power nearly dissipated!
"Such a strong seal!"
Qidiao Wu was astonished, looking deeply at Gu Sheng. How powerful must one’s soul essence be to set such a strong soul seal?
He withdrew his spiritual power, suppressing the excitement in his heart, and looked at Gu Sheng, his tone already carrying a bit more respect as a subordinate.
"Sir, what are your plans next?"
Gu Sheng cast his gaze to the east, his eyes suddenly becoming as sharp as a knife, a faint cold killing intent emanating.
"Return to East Desolation, kill."
"Kill?"
Qidiao Wu was slightly stunned.
"A life-and-death battle with an enemy, the deadline is approaching."
Gu Sheng’s tone was calm, yet carried an undeniable confidence.
"Previously, my strength had not recovered, and I needed much forbearance.
Now my cultivation has reached the Sect Realm, with a Dao Body crafted by the top four Daoist Rhythms, my actual combat power is enough to fight in the early stage of the Earth King Realm! It is time to go back and clear out the enemies and settle old grudges."
Qidiao Wu understood, a flash of comprehension crossing his eyes, then he asked.
"Do you need the Five Poison Divine Sect to send people to assist? I have an adopted son whose cultivation has reached Half-step Venerable Realm, he can accompany you to ensure nothing goes wrong."
"No need."
Gu Sheng refused without hesitation, his tone carrying a proud and resolute spirit.
"The person I want to kill, I must slay with my own hands, why borrow another’s hand?"
Admiration deepened in Qidiao Wu’s eyes as he praised.
"Sir, you truly are a person of character!"
He paused, then added.
"In that case, let the girl Yaoyao accompany you to East Desolation. After you deal with your personal affairs, you can take her directly to Central Province, saving her the trouble of traveling back and forth.
How about it?"
Gu Sheng glanced at Qidiao Wu, considered briefly, and did not refuse.
"Very well. Let her accompany."
He continued.
"As for the subsequent specific cooperation matters between the Five Poison Divine Sect and Linyin Pavilion, soon, someone from Linyin Pavilion will come to discuss in detail with the ancestor."
Qidiao Wu nodded and agreed.
"I understand, I await the good news."
At dusk, the afterglow of the setting sun cast a warm golden layer over Five Immortals King City. Gu Sheng, along with the disguised Qidiao Yaoyao, who now looked like a young man with delicate features but with a hint of wilderness, quietly left this mighty city of the Southern Border.
After silently flying hundreds of miles, Qidiao Yaoyao finally couldn’t help it, pouting, with a tone of disbelief and a bit of grievance, she muttered softly.
"Grandpa just left me to you like this... Not even afraid you’d sell me..."
Gu Sheng looked ahead, his tunneling light steady, and without turning his head, his voice was calm yet carried a convincing power.
"Rest assured, since I promised your grandpa, I will not harm you. Not only will I not harm you, but I will also resolve the side effects of your Holy Gu Spirit Body."
He paused and continued, his tone beyond doubt.
"When we arrive at East Desolation, you will formally acknowledge me as your master, becoming the second registered disciple under me, Gu Sheng."
"What?! Acknowledge a master?! And a registered disciple?!"
Qidiao Yaoyao suddenly halted her tunneling light, her masked yet still lively eyes wide open, as if she’d heard something utterly unbelievable.
"You... how old are you? You’re asking me to acknowledge you as my master?! What a joke!"
She was the little princess of the Five Poison Divine Sect, with a grandpa who was the Poison Venerable famous in the Southern Border. To ask her to acknowledge someone who seemed only a few years older as her master? It was simply an extreme disgrace!
Gu Sheng also stopped in his tracks, glancing at her indifferently.
"Age and cultivation are never the sole standards of a teacher. You just need to do as told."
Qidiao Yaoyao puffed up, suddenly remembering someone, she asked.
"Then... what about Situ Qingfeng? What did you do with him?"
"I sent him back to Great Wilderness City first."
Gu Sheng replied.
"He has his own path."
"Hmph, you really know how to use people, are you treating him as a trophy too?"
Qidiao Yaoyao huffed with some dissatisfaction. Although she had cast a Gu on Situ Qingfeng before, traveling together had created a bond of shared adversity.
Gu Sheng’s mouth slightly curved with a hint of mischief.
"Trophy? Perhaps. However, if you acknowledge me as a master, by seniority, you should respectfully call him ’uncle-master’ when you see him."
"Unc... uncle-master?!"
Qidiao Yaoyao instantly bristled like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, pointing at Gu Sheng, too angry to speak coherently.
"You... you wish! I won’t call him uncle-master! No way!"
Seeing her exasperated state, Gu Sheng said no more, turning to continue his tunneling light. Qidiao Yaoyao stomped where she stood, ultimately gritting her teeth and following him.
During their flight, Gu Sheng suddenly broke the silence.
"What is your true cultivation realm?"
He had long seen that Qidiao Yaoyao had a magical treasure concealing her aura, disguising her aura as the peak of the Earth Martial Realm, but this couldn’t escape his perception.
Qidiao Yaoyao was taken aback, seemingly not expecting Gu Sheng to suddenly ask this.
