Tantai Xuefei visits Gu Sheng, misunderstanding his intentions. Gu Sheng clarifies he only wanted her to deliver a jade talisman to her father, leading to her embarrassed and angry departure. Gu Sheng reflects on the usefulness of the Tantai Treasure Hall and worries about the situation of Gu Ningshuang and her companions in a dangerous secret realm.

She refused to settle for the status quo, and she didn’t want to be merely an accessory to Gu Sheng, basking in his protection.

She yearned to temper herself in true life-and-death combat and forge her own path to greatness!

"We can’t keep wasting time like this!"

Gu Ningshuang took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing her turbulent Qi-Blood, her voice resolute.

"We must take a risk! I’ll attempt to assassinate the Beast King lurking at the rear of the beast horde! If I can force it to reveal itself or cause chaos, the beast horde will inevitably become unstable!"

She looked at Gu Yurou.

"Yurou, find a way to coordinate with Little White. Once the beast horde becomes chaotic, immediately get it to tear open a path at all costs!"

She then looked at Shen Qingtan, their eyes meeting without the need for words.

Shen Qingtan spoke little, only nodding slightly, the eyes under the bronze mask suddenly becoming extremely steadfast, even carrying a hint of madness in her determination.

Her voice hoarse, speaking briefly.

"I will self-destruct an incarnation to blast open a path, creating an opportunity for you. Blast and go."

Gu Ningshuang’s gaze sharpened, knowing this was the only possible method to break the deadlock, though incredibly dangerous.

Her expression solemn, she no longer hesitated, her aura suddenly surging! Her sword Qi billowed out as if tangible, the air temperature suddenly dropping, countless tiny snowflakes condensing out of thin air, rapidly swirling around her body!

"Go!"

With a clear command, Gu Ningshuang wielding the half broken sword, turned into an unstoppable dazzling sword light, disregarding the ordinary Demon Beasts around, charging fiercely towards the deepest, most potent, and enigmatic presence within the horde—the Beast King!

Almost at the same time, from Shen Qingtan’s body a phantom nearly identical to her main body separated, carrying a lethal, extremely unstable energy fluctuation, charging resolutely towards the densest region of the beast horde like a meteor falling to earth!

Her eyes under the mask at this moment became as crimson as blood, filled with overwhelming killing intent and a nearly frenzied excitement!

"Boom—!!!"

The deafening explosion soon sounded from deep within the beast horde, the violent energy shockwave spreading like ripples, instantly shredding dozens of Demon Beasts into pieces, blood and flesh flying everywhere! The beast horde immediately plunged into chaos, roaring and trampling sounds unceasing!

...

The next morning, inside the Quiet Room of the Ten Thousand Treasures Hall in Tianyuan Emperor City.

Gu Sheng sat cross-legged on the cushion, eyes slightly closed, with an aura of tranquility around him.

He was executing his Cultivation Technique, cautiously controlling the majestic True Qi within his body, following the profound path of the Thirty-Six Cave Heaven Divine Technique, repeatedly impacting the unopened acupoints on the third meridian.

Since breaking through to his current realm, the nine acupoints belonging to his third meridian had shown signs of opening. Yesterday, during Tantai Xuefei’s reception, the cup of Earth Tea containing pure Spiritual Energy assisted him significantly, successfully opening the first acupoint. After a night of continuous cultivation, relying on his far superior foundation and massive accumulation, he made breakthrough after breakthrough, continuously opening two more acupoints!

At that moment, he concentrated all his strength to assault the fourth acupoint!

"Boom!"

As if a low thunderous sound faintly emanated from within him, his Qi-Blood surged like tide. Accompanied by a subtle yet audible "crack" of breaking, it was as if some invisible barrier had been forcefully breached!

Gu Sheng’s aura abruptly heightened, his robe fluttering without wind, rustling loudly.

He suddenly opened his eyes, the sharp gleam in them flashing briefly before he slowly exhaled a long breath, which surprisingly condensed in the air without dissipating, shooting out nearly a foot before gradually vanishing.

He carefully felt the surging Qi Blood Power within him and the newly opened four acupoints continuously feeding back even purer and vaster nature’s spiritual energy, estimating silently in his heart.

"Opening four acupoints in the fourth meridian, with the previous two meridians totaling thirty-five acupoints... My current Physical Strength, with full eruption, is probably equivalent to the force of thirty-nine to forty acupoints!"

A hint of satisfaction flashed in Gu Sheng’s eyes.

He had confidence that if he encountered a Martial Artist of the same realm now, or even some newly ascended to the peak of Human King Realm types, he wouldn’t need to use True Qi Spirit Power. Solely relying on this pure Physical Strength, one punch would be enough to pound them to death!

"Moreover, the Thirty-Six Cave Heaven Divine Technique is indeed extraordinarily profound, the acupoints opened later imparting even more dramatic increases to Physical Strength."

Gu Sheng mused inwardly, rating the Body Refining Divine Skill obtained from mysterious ruins even higher. Simultaneously, he once again remembered "Shadow," the one who gave him this divine technique, a thought passing through his mind.

"To casually provide such a Cultivation Technique... Shadow’s origin is by no means simple."

Suddenly, there was an extremely subtle sound from the window of the Quiet Room, as if it was unintentionally brushed by the night wind. A figure had already silently appeared inside the room, as if he had been standing there all along.

Gu Sheng did not turn around, still maintaining his seated posture, only a barely perceptible smile forming at the corner of his mouth, speaking confidently.

"Uncle Mingjing visiting so early, was everything smoothly taken care of last night?"

The visitor was Tantai Mingjing.

Seeing Gu Sheng revealing his identity without turning his head, he no longer concealed his aura, flashing his form to appear in front of Gu Sheng. Yet, he did not immediately look at Gu Sheng, but first turned to gaze at the sunrise outside the window, seemingly appreciating the morning scene.
