Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World Chapter 1777: Second Refinement! Terrifying Amplification (2)

“You do know your place. Very well, considering you’ve been quite low-key these years and have shown favor to Linlang Pavilion, this lady will point you on the right path.”

Upon hearing this, the Moonfall King felt a surge of spirit and immediately bowed deeply.

“Please, Miss Xuefei, guide me!”

Tantai Xuefei replied indifferently.

“After I leave, go to Linyin Pavilion to register and serve as an Honorary Chief. Outwardly, you are still the Moonfall King. Inwardly, you must be loyal to our Linyin Pavilion for three years. If you show promise within three years, my Tantai family can ensure you… at least step into the Heavenly King Realm.”

Upon hearing this, the Moonfall King was stunned at first, then his face lit up with ecstatic joy! The Heavenly King Realm! This was the realm he had long yearned for but never reached!

He had been stuck at the Peak of Earth King Realm for too long and knew well that without a grand opportunity or powerful backing, it might be impossible to cross this chasm in his lifetime! He immediately bowed deeply, his voice trembling with excitement.

“Thank you, Miss Xuefei, for your nurture! Moonfall… no, your subordinate Su Yue will do his utmost to serve Linyin Pavilion, with no divided loyalty!”

He wisely did not disturb further, bowed once more, and respectfully stepped aside to watch them leave, his face brimming with suppressed excitement.

Gu Sheng raised an eyebrow looking at Tantai Xuefei, with a hint of inquiry in his eyes.

Tantai Xuefei gave him a crafty smile and explained through voice transmission.

“This guy hides quite deep, his true cultivation is likely close to the Peak of Earth King Realm, stuck at the bottleneck. Over the years, he’s managed Fallen Moon City well and has shown favor towards Linyin Pavilion subtly. Sister Bingtang mentioned before, if I leave, this person is someone worth using. Rather than sending others to scheme against him, it’s more efficient to recruit him now.”

Upon hearing this, Gu Sheng nodded, acknowledging her way of handling things.

This indeed was the simplest and most effective method.

With trivial matters settled, the group did not delay any further.

Gu Sheng was the first to step steadily into the massive Teleportation Array, where radiant lights flowed and runes densely covered the surface. Tantai Xuefei, Gu Yuanyuan, Qidiao Yaoyao, and Fan Qingcheng followed closely in succession.

“Stay steady, don’t resist the power of the Array.”

Fan Qingcheng’s cool voice rang out, the silvery True Qi of the Venerable Realm flowing around her, forming into a gentle light shield that enveloped the group, preparing for potential space fluctuations during transmission.

Tantai Xuefei also cheerfully said.

“Don’t worry, this lady is now also at the Venerable Realm, True Qi is abundant!”

With that, intense and vigorous True Qi emanated around her, merging with Fan Qingcheng’s light shield to fortify the protection.

The cultivator from Linyin Pavilion responsible for operating the Array, upon seeing this, immediately launched a series of spells to activate this costly cross-domain Teleportation Array.

“Buzz——!!!”

In an instant, the entire Array erupted with a dazzling white beam of light, soaring straight into the sky with an imposing momentum that drew countless people in Fallen Moon City to look up and discuss animatedly.

The intense light persisted for several moments before abruptly vanishing.

And within the Array, Gu Sheng and the others felt enveloped by a powerful force of Space Power, the scene before them instantly blurring and distorting. Once the uncomfortable feeling of weightlessness and dizziness passed, they found themselves in a peculiar place.

Surrounding them were not familiar landmarks, but what seemed like a massive “tunnel” composed of countless flowing, twisting, and flickering energies! Outside the tunnel barrier, the deep, chaotic, and destructive aura of the Void turbulently swirled, with broken stars and distorted light vaguely visible.

At that moment, they were protected by an elliptical light shield formed by the power of the Teleportation Array, traveling through this strange “Space Tunnel” at an astonishing speed.

“Wow! Is this the Space Tunnel? How peculiar!”

Gu Yuanyuan widened her eyes in curiosity, gazing at the bizarre scenery outside the tunnel.

Qidiao Yaoyao clutched tightly onto Gu Yuanyuan’s sleeve, her small face displaying both tension and excitement; this was her first experience of such long-distance transmission.

Fan Qingcheng glanced unexpectedly at Gu Sheng, noticing his calm demeanor, seemingly unfazed by the scene, and couldn’t help but ask.

“Young Master Gu doesn’t seem surprised by the Space Tunnel?”

Gu Sheng didn’t answer yet, but next to him, Tantai Xuefei had already curled her lips in disdain.

“What’s so surprising about this? It’s just the standard process for crossing regions. Sister Fan, you’re underestimating people way too much.”

Fan Qingcheng heard this and chose to say no more, merely maintaining her Protective True Qi in silence.

Under the protection of the grand Array’s power, the group swiftly traversed the flamboyant yet perilous Space Tunnel. After about a quarter of an hour, a gradually expanding light point appeared at the end of the tunnel ahead.

Immediately, the elliptical light shield enveloping them accelerated violently, diving straight into that light point!

Intense white light enveloped everyone’s vision again, even more blinding than during activation.

As the white light slowly dissipated, they felt solid ground beneath their feet, while what surged into their ears was a vibrant and energetic clamor, like the roaring of ocean waves!

As they focused their gaze, they saw an enormous city of unimaginable prosperity and grandeur suddenly appearing before their eyes!

Streets wide enough to accommodate dozens of carriages side by side, flanked by towering buildings of various styles, with intricate carvings and painted beams, eaves flying and imposing, exuding an ancient and luxurious aura.

On the streets, the crowd was bustling, shoulder to shoulder, with cultivators, merchants, commons of all kinds flowing incessantly, their auras varied yet all infused with a unique confidence and vitality belonging to Central Province.

In the sky, now and then, luxurious flying boats or cultivators riding strange Demon Beasts streaked past, leaving trails of light.

The degree of prosperity here did not pale compared to the core areas of Great Wilderness City and was even deeper in certain details!

“The spiritual energy here… is so dense! So pure!”

Gu Yuanyuan took a deep breath, her small face filled with shock.

Bearing the Mixed Element Spirit Body, she was most sensitive to nature’s spiritual energy, clearly sensing that the spiritual energy’s concentration and quality here far surpassed East Desolation.

Qidiao Yaoyao nodded vigorously; although she didn’t cultivate Spiritual Energy but focused on Gu Technique, she could also feel the abundant energy in the environment, causing her Lifebound Gu within to emit pulses of joy.

However, their slightly novel expressions as newcomers attracted disharmony.

“Ha—where did these country bumpkins come from? Being amazed even at Central Province’s basic spiritual energy density, what a joke!”

A voice, dripping with sarcasm and condescending, came from nearby.

As they turned to look, they saw a young pampered lord wearing a luxurious brocade robe, with a faintly pale, dissipated face, leaning on a gemstone-encrusted cane, encircled by a group of formidable guards, casting sidelong glances at them.

This young lord’s legs, from the knees down, were amputated completely, relying only on his cane to stand.

His gaze swept over Gu Sheng and his group, lingering briefly on the breathtaking Tantai Xuefei and the ethereal Fan Qingcheng, a flash of lewdness in his eyes, but more so, disdain from on high.

Gu Sheng frowned slightly.

Beside Gu Sheng, Qidiao Yaoyao’s gaze instantly turned cold, as she discreetly raised her palm, with purple aura surging, not the light of a Martial Technique formed by True Qi, but a terrifying power composed of countless tiny, dust-like, barely visible enigmatic Gu Worms!

The legless young lord, unaware of the imminent danger, became even more smug, pointing his cane at Gu Sheng and his group while loudly addressing his guards.

“See that? These are the hillbillies from the backwater places, who’ve never seen the big world! But this young master is in a good mood today, so I’ll teach you how to behave on Central Province’s turf!”

Before he could finish, Tantai Xuefei suddenly took a step forward, stamping that luxurious cane “thud” on the ground.

She didn’t say anything, but her once smiling eyes suddenly turned exceedingly cold.

The next moment, an immense, oceanic, mountain-heavy terror and awe, erupted fiercely and without reservation from her seemingly delicate body! Like an invisible storm, it swept through a radius of several dozen feet in an instant!

Venerable Realm! The powerful aura of a First Transformation Venerable!
