Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World

Chapter 756: Chapter 402: The Power of the Spiritual Spring

”Yes, I’m on my way.”

Gu Sheng responded, then flew directly toward the peak of Zhuo Peak.

”Inhale... exhale...”

Gu Sheng spread his arms wide and took a deep breath, as if to draw in the vast sea of bitterness.

Instantly, a refreshing and invigorating feeling rose from the depths of his heart.

”What a place, truly a magnificent place.”

Gu Sheng praised aloud.

Subsequently, he sat cross-legged, quietly circulating his Divine Power, using the Greater and Lesser Heavenly Circulation to mobilize the blood and Qi within his body.

At the same time, the green copper block in the sea of bitterness and the power of the Great Emperor’s Heart also received nourishment.

All of a sudden, Gu Sheng shivered uncontrollably.

”Hmm?”

Gu Sheng opened his eyes, as if sensing some force guiding him toward something.

His Divine Sense swept gently across the surroundings, detecting a peculiar wave of Spiritual Power.

This wave of Spiritual Power resonated with the Spiritual Energy within his body, as if summoning him to Ling Peak.

Such a strange phenomenon aroused deep curiosity within him.

”Ji Ziyue, I wonder what it’s like now at your Ling Peak?”

Gu Sheng thought to himself.

Then, he surveyed his surroundings.

What met his eyes was the barren and desolate Zhuo Peak.

Compared to Ling Peak, this place truly was a wasteland.

As Gu Sheng pondered this, that wave of summoning Spiritual Power came at him once more.

At this moment, Gu Sheng made up his mind.

Without further hesitation, his figure flickered, transforming into a stream of light as he shot toward Ling Peak.

Before long, he arrived before the gates of Ling Peak.

The mountain gate of Ling Peak stood majestically, shrouded in mist and clouds.

At this moment, waves of powerful Spiritual Energy rippled from within the mountain gate, making one involuntarily feel a sense of awe.

Gu Sheng stood outside the gate, took a deep breath, and then announced in a clear voice, ”I am Gu Sheng, a cultivator from Zhuo Peak, here to visit Miss Ji Ziyue. I kindly request you to inform her.”

Gu Sheng’s voice echoed through the mountain gate, but no response came for a long while.

As Gu Sheng waited patiently, a mocking voice rang out from within.

”Hahaha, a wild brat from Zhuo Peak dares to come to Ling Peak to seek Ji Ziyue? Truly overestimating yourself!”

Gu Sheng’s brow furrowed slightly, feeling a mix of emotions.

However, he did not want to stir up conflict. After all, he had only recently joined the Supreme Mysterious Sect and had already clashed with a few disciples from Ling Peak over a trivial breakfast incident.

He spoke again, ”We’re all part of the same sect. Please, may I trouble you to pass along my message?”

Nonetheless, the gatekeepers appeared even more dismissive, laughing arrogantly, ”Hahaha! Zhuo Peak is nothing but trash compared to Ling Peak. Get lost! Stop embarrassing yourself here.”

A glint of cold fury flashed through Gu Sheng’s eyes.

Insulting him was one thing, but disparaging Zhuo Peak was crossing the line.

This was a blatant challenge!

Without further ado, his figure moved. In an instant, he appeared before the leading gatekeeper, so fast that the man had no time to react.

”Since that’s the case, allow me to teach you how to treat guests properly.”

Gu Sheng’s voice was icy as he raised a palm and lightly struck out.

The palm wind carried a powerful force of Spiritual Energy, pushing the leading gatekeeper back several steps.

”You...”

The leading gatekeeper stared at Gu Sheng in horror, unable to believe that the seemingly young cultivator before him wielded such overwhelming power.

Gu Sheng had intentionally held back. He merely wanted to give them a warning.

”Now, will you inform her?”

Gu Sheng asked in a faint, calm tone.

The group of gatekeepers exchanged uneasy glances, realizing they had provoked someone they shouldn’t have.

Soon, one of the gatekeepers nodded hastily, expressing willingness to relay his message.

Only then did Gu Sheng withdraw his aura, waiting quietly for Ji Ziyue’s appearance.

Before long, a familiar figure emerged from within the mountain gate—it was Ji Ziyue.

When she saw Gu Sheng, a look of surprise and delight lit up her face. ”What are you doing here?”

Gu Sheng smiled slightly and walked forward.

”I came to see you.”

Smiling lightly, Gu Sheng accompanied Ji Ziyue into the gates of Ling Peak.

Once inside, Ji Ziyue led Gu Sheng on a leisurely stroll around the area, conversing as they went.

The scenery of Ling Peak was unrivaled—rich in Spiritual Energy, picturesque and serene, leaving Gu Sheng utterly captivated.

If only Zhuo Peak had such splendor, it could surely rival Ling Peak as a haven for cultivation.

Along the way, they passed patches of Spirit Fields, witnessing disciples immersed in dedicated cultivation.

Additionally, they encountered several elders offering attentive guidance to the younger generation, painting a harmonious picture of cooperation.

Soon, they arrived at a place where the Spiritual Energy was especially intense.

It was a natural Spiritual Spring, where water bubbled up continuously, emitting a steady flow of mystical Spiritual Energy.

Gu Sheng slightly stirred his Divine Power and carefully sensed the area.

”This must be it. The wave of Spiritual Power I felt back at Zhuo Peak was coming from here.”

Gu Sheng spoke excitedly.

”Oh? Then this Spiritual Spring must be extraordinary.”

Ji Ziyue’s curiosity was piqued as well.

While the two were entranced by the wonders of the Spiritual Spring, sudden hurried footsteps shattered the tranquility.

Gu Sheng looked up to see a middle-aged cultivator leading a group of disciples rushing toward them.

Gu Sheng’s gaze sharpened as he immediately recognized them—it was the same group of cultivators he had defeated back at Zhuo Peak.

”Why is it them?”

Gu Sheng sighed inwardly at the coincidence.

Ji Ziyue also noticed the approaching group, but her smile remained unfazed as she stepped forward warmly. ”Senior Brother Ling Mu, what brings you here?”

The middle-aged cultivator, whom Ji Ziyue addressed as Senior Brother Ling Mu, appeared slightly embarrassed upon seeing her.

However, he quickly composed himself, putting on a serious expression as he replied, ”Junior Sister Ziyue, we heard reports of an outsider entering Ling Peak, so we came to investigate.”

Gu Sheng stood silently to the side, observing the situation.
