Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World

Chapter 1195: Chapter 621: Unwilling to Miss Out (Part 2)

”This young man, his aura has stabilized so quickly; it’s truly astonishing. Xiushan, why do you think this is?”​

Daoist Xiushan smiled faintly, pride filling his eyes, and explained, ”This is the advantage of the Sacred Body. As his cultivation continually improves, the power of the Sacred Body will become even more evident.

Gu Sheng’s Sacred Body inherently contains immense potential, and breaking through to the Earth Palace Realm, this potential has been further unleashed. In terms of stabilizing his foundation, naturally, he is much faster than ordinary people.”​

The Treasure Pavilion Master was filled with envy, ”Such talent, such physique, is truly heaven’s favor. Given time, this young man will certainly become a pillar of our Xinghong Spirit Domain.”​

As they were speaking, the Treasure Pavilion Master remembered something and turned to Daoist Xiushan, asking, ”By the way, Xiushan, I’ve always been curious, when did you actually pass on the Azure Dragon Ten Steps Technique to this young man?”​

Daoist Xiushan’s smile vanished, replaced by an expression of hesitation. He lowered his head slightly, remained silent for a moment, and then said, ”Actually... I haven’t taught him the Azure Dragon Ten Steps Technique.”​

The Treasure Pavilion Master widened his eyes in confusion and asked, ”Why is that? The Azure Dragon Ten Steps Technique is the top-level Cultivation Technique of your Xiushan lineage and is extremely powerful.

With Gu Sheng’s talent and physique, if he were to cultivate this technique, he would certainly enhance his abilities significantly. Why haven’t you taught it to him?”​

Daoist Xiushan sighed deeply, his face full of concern, and explained, ”It’s not that I don’t want to pass on the Azure Dragon Ten Steps Technique to him.

This young man has extraordinary talent and a kind heart. I’ve long intended to take him as my legacy heir.

But... although the Azure Dragon Ten Steps Technique is powerful, the risks in cultivating it are extremely high. A slight misstep, and he might suffer a cultivation deviation or even die suddenly.”​

The Treasure Pavilion Master felt puzzled and said, ”With Gu Sheng’s Sacred Body, isn’t it sufficient to resist the risks of this cultivation? We all have witnessed the power of the Sacred Body. He surely can withstand the pressure of cultivating the Azure Dragon Ten Steps Technique.”​

Daoist Xiushan shook his head helplessly, his eyes full of worry, and said, ”You are not aware. Gu Sheng’s Sacred Body’s strength far exceeds ordinary people. While this is his advantage, it is also his potential peril.

If he happens to suffer a cultivation deviation while practicing the Azure Dragon Ten Steps Technique, the consequences might be several times more severe than those for an ordinary person.

I wish for him to inherit my legacy and promote the Azure Dragon Ten Steps Technique, yet I can’t bear to see him take this risk. This... truly makes it hard for me to decide!”​

The Treasure Pavilion Master, upon hearing Daoist Xiushan’s explanation, felt an inner turbulence. What Daoist Xiushan said was indeed true, Gu Sheng’s Sacred Body is indeed a double-edged sword.

On one hand, it gives Gu Sheng unparalleled talent and potential; on the other hand, it makes him face greater dangers when cultivating certain high-risk techniques.​​

The two fell into silence for a long time, and a heavy atmosphere pervaded the air.

After a while, the Treasure Pavilion Master spoke, ”Xiushan, I understand your worry. Gu Sheng is indeed a peerless genius, with limitless future achievements. We should not easily let him take risks.

After all, the Azure Dragon Ten Steps Technique is the heritage of your Xiushan lineage. If we abandon it like this, it would be a pity. I think we should observe for a while longer and see how Gu Sheng progresses in other Cultivation Techniques.

If he manages another breakthrough in other techniques, perhaps at that time, it wouldn’t be too late to consider teaching him the Azure Dragon Ten Steps Technique.”

In Tianlan Sacred Land, the search for the intended groom by the Tianxuan Divine Girl had already become the most prominent affair within the Sacred Land. Time swiftly passed, fourteen days gone in the blink of an eye, yet the true identity of that groom remained elusive.

Imposters continued to emerge, including two former Saint Heirs over a hundred years old. Such chaos greatly troubled the Tianlan Saint Master and Holy Mother, having them overwhelmed with handling related affairs every day.​

Hearing about this in the Water Spirit Pavilion, Gongsun Yue’s eyes filled with anger and disdain, as she spat out, ”These people are simply disgraceful to our Tianlan Sacred Land! For the sake of that so-called identity, they act in such shameless ways.”

She was extremely repulsed by those imposters, feeling that their actions really tarnished the reputation of the Sacred Land.​

Tianlan Saint Mother sat nearby, her expression grave, saying, ”This matter is indeed thorny. If the true groom isn’t identified quickly, this chaos might escalate further.

Once the identity is confirmed, those imposters must be severely punished to set an example.” As the Holy Mother, she was responsible for maintaining the order and dignity of the Sacred Land, naturally anxious facing such chaos.​

Although Gongsun Yue was angry at those imposters, her heart was mainly worried about Gu Sheng’s cultivation in Divine Wind Thunder Mountain.

She couldn’t help but ask, ”Holy Mother, do you know how Gu Sheng is doing in Divine Wind Thunder Mountain? I really can’t help but worry,” her eyes filled with concern.​

Tianlan Saint Mother gently comforted her, ”Yue, do not fret. Daoist Xiushan has been safeguarding there, and once Gu Sheng finishes his training, he will bring him to you.” Comforting Gongsun Yue, who was deeply concerned about Gu Sheng.​​

Gongsun Yue still felt an unspoken worry.

She looked up at the distance, whispering to herself, ”I hope everything goes smoothly for Gu Sheng, and he returns soon.”​​

Tianlan Saint Mother recalled the recent troubles caused by Qiankun Venerate King, worriedly saying, ”Qiankun Venerate King has already stirred quite a few troubles, I’m concerned other Sacred Lands might seize the opportunity to cause issues, and when that time comes, our Tianlan Sacred Land may face a great crisis.”​

Gongsun Yue arched her brows and said, ”Holy Mother need not worry too much, the Tianxuan Divine Girl promised to help Gu Sheng, right? With her assistance, Gu Sheng will surely turn misfortune into fortune.” She firmly believed in the promise of the Tianxuan Divine Girl and was confident that Gu Sheng would be fine.​

Tianlan Saint Mother gently shook her head, sighing, ”It still depends on how much Gu Sheng matters to the Tianxuan Divine Girl. If Gu Sheng wins her favor, then naturally it’s good;

If not, this assistance might be limited.” She was not entirely confident in the Tianxuan Divine Girl’s attitude, hence her inevitable concern.​

Gongsun Yue declared resolutely, ”I believe the Tianxuan Divine Girl will do her utmost to help Gu Sheng. He is upright and kind, with extraordinary skills, why wouldn’t she value him?”

She was full of confidence in Gu Sheng, and deeply trusted the character of the Tianxuan Divine Girl.​

In Divine Wind Thunder Mountain, lightning flashed, thunder roared, the noise almost deafening. Gu Sheng stood within, surrounded by raging thunder and lightning.​

He closed his eyes tightly, completely focused on circulating the Spiritual Power within him, allowing bolts of lightning to continuously strike his body. Under the tempering of this lightning, his aura gradually became stable and strong.​

Not knowing how much time had passed, Gu Sheng opened his eyes, feeling his body brimming with power. The familiar figure of Daoist Xiushan appeared before him.​

Daoist Xiushan looked at Gu Sheng, eyes full of satisfaction, nodding in approval, ”Not bad, this time you’ve gained a lot from the cultivation. Let’s go, it’s time to go back.”​

Gu Sheng nodded slightly, saying, ”Thank you, Senior Xiushan, for the care and guidance over this period.” He then followed Daoist Xiushan and left Divine Wind Thunder Mountain.​

In another part of the Sacred Land, the Treasure Pavilion Master hurriedly headed towards the Elder Hall.

He was eager to see the results of the Tianxuan Divine Girl’s groom selection, which would affect many future matters of the Sacred Land, and he certainly did not want to miss it.​

Outside the Elder Hall, a crowd had already gathered. The Tianxuan Divine Girl was about to announce information concerning her groom, with the Saint Master, Holy Mother, and various elders arriving early, displaying various expressions, silently waiting for the news to be unveiled.​​

Gu Sheng followed Daoist Xiushan all the way to the Water Spirit Pavilion. As soon as he stepped into the Water Spirit Pavilion, he saw the Holy Mother, Gongsun Yue, his sister, and his mentor’s wife all present. His eyes showed a trace of doubt.​

Gongsun Yue saw Gu Sheng return, her face breaking into a radiant smile, quickly walking over, saying, ”Gu Sheng, you’re finally back. To keep you from worrying about your family’s safety during cultivation, Holy Mother decided to arrange for your sister and mentor’s wife to reside at the Water Spirit Pavilion.”​​
