Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World

Chapter 840: Chapter 444: Phantom Soul People

Gu Sheng stepped inside, and a refreshing fragrance greeted him.

The scent carried a faint spiritual energy, making one feel at ease.

”This is truly a great place for cultivation, comparable to the Supreme Mysterious Sect.”

Gu Sheng secretly praised in his heart.

Then he looked around, finding the buildings within the Carefree Gate to be arranged with exquisite taste.

In the distance were pavilions and towers, nearby were small bridges over flowing streams, akin to an earthly Immortal Realm.

”Welcome to the Carefree Gate, fellow cultivator.”

A disciple dressed in green approached with a smile.

He held a register in his hand, carefully scrutinizing Gu Sheng.

”Greetings, senior brother.”

Gu Sheng nodded slightly.

”You are the new disciple, right? I am the welcoming disciple of the Carefree Gate, named Qingyang.”

The Carefree Gate disciple spoke first.

Gu Sheng clasped his hands and said, ”Thank you, Senior Brother Qingyang, I am Gu Sheng, just arrived from the Supreme Mysterious Sect. Please take care of me, Senior Brother.”

Qingyang nodded and recorded Gu Sheng’s basic information.

”What brings you to our Carefree Gate? Cultivation or a visit?”

Qingyang asked.

”I...”

Gu Sheng hesitated slightly.

His right hand was in his pocket, constantly touching the jade pendant gifted by Li Ruoyu.

After all, to speak of crossing the void right away seemed abrupt, so Gu Sheng contemplated whether to be more discreet.

Seeing Gu Sheng silent, Qingyang paused his pen and asked again, ”Gu Sheng, what brings you to our Carefree Gate?”

Compared to before, his tone now seemed slightly hostile.

To avoid misunderstanding, Gu Sheng quickly explained, ”I am here to cross the void, intending to head to the Northern Territory.”

Hearing this, Qingyang’s expression slightly relaxed.

”Oh, so that’s the case, I thought you were here to cause trouble.”

Qingyang chuckled.

”No, no, no!”

Gu Sheng quickly waved his hand.

”Please follow me.”

Qingyang said, leading Gu Sheng into the Carefree Gate.

Gu Sheng suddenly felt a surge of joy in his heart, wondering whether he had met a benefactor.

After clearly expressing his intentions, surprisingly, Qingyang neither refused nor showed any surprise.

Could he really cross the void and head to the Northern Territory right away?

Gu Sheng secretly rejoiced.

He clenched his fists tighter, hoping to achieve this as soon as possible.

And thereby rid himself of the chaos of the Southern Domain.

After following Qingyang through several corridors, Gu Sheng suddenly ascended into the air.

”Gu Sheng, hurry, follow me!”

Qingyang’s voice reached Gu Sheng’s ears.

Gu Sheng surged with divine power, closely following behind.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Qingyang led Gu Sheng to the rear mountains of the Carefree Gate.

Gu Sheng discovered that thousands of cultivators had gathered here.

The sight was grand, like a capital city during festivities.

”Why are there so many people?”

After landing, Gu Sheng first asked Qingyang.

”These cultivators are preparing to cross the void and head to other continents.”

Qingyang explained to Gu Sheng.

”Ah?”

Gu Sheng was shocked.

He hadn’t expected so many people to choose to leave the Southern Domain and head to other regions.

If he had known there’s such a place to cross the void, he would have left long ago...

Seeing Gu Sheng’s surprise, Qingyang smiled and explained, ”These people are tired of the conflicts in the Southern Domain and want to seek new opportunities in other continents. Perhaps you feel the same?”

”I... I... I do too.”

Gu Sheng, eyes vacant for a moment, then nodded.

”That’s right then.”

Qingyang smiled and nodded, then turned his head and asked, ”By the way, have you prepared a spiritual artifact?”

”Spiritual artifact? What spiritual artifact?”

Gu Sheng was puzzled.

”Hmm?”

Qingyang stopped, looking somewhat speechless, ”What? Don’t you know that crossing the void consumes a lot of the sect’s spiritual energy? If we don’t collect some spiritual artifacts, wouldn’t it be unprofitable?”

”Unprofitable? Trade?”

Gu Sheng was stunned again.

He suddenly thought of the jade pendant given to him by Senior Li Ruoyu.

Could it be that this jade pendant is the so-called ’travel expense’?

Gu Sheng pondered, well, it made sense.

The Carefree Gate helping other cultivators cross the void without asking for anything in return would be unreasonable.

In this world, or even in his own world, that’s how it is.

”Hey! What are you standing for? Have you prepared or not?”

Qingyang frowned slightly, showing some impatience.

By now, his attitude had changed significantly from when Gu Sheng first entered.

Perhaps feeling that Gu Sheng was without a spiritual artifact and merely sponging off the spiritual energy, he became impatient.

”Yes, yes, of course I have it!”

Gu Sheng said, taking out the jade pendant with a dragon pattern given to him by Li Ruoyu.

”This jade pendant?”

Qingyang took the jade pendant, his gaze lingering on it for a moment.

Then his brows slightly raised, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

”This... Is this Dragon Spirit Jade?”

Qingyang asked incredulously.

”Dragon... Dragon Spirit Jade?”

Gu Sheng was also taken aback.

He had heard that Dragon Spirit Jade is an extremely rare material for spiritual artifacts.

According to legend, only the Dragon Clan could give birth to such a jade pendant.

It contains powerful spiritual power, offering great assistance to cultivators.

”How do you have this Dragon Spirit Jade?”

Qingyang asked, puzzled.

Gu Sheng smiled slightly, unwilling to mention Li Ruoyu from the Supreme Mysterious Sect.

He casually replied, ”A friend gave it to me, saying this jade pendant could help me cross the void.”

Upon hearing this, Qingyang pondered secretly.

After scrutinizing Gu Sheng once again, he felt Gu Sheng wasn’t as simple as he seemed.

”Oh, I see.”

Qingyang slightly nodded and said, ”In that case, try using this Dragon Spirit Jade.”
