Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World

Chapter 903: Chapter 475: Breaking Through the Rift (Part 2)

Elder Shi nodded: ”That’s right, although we Stone Village have few people, we are not to be bullied. I will contact other villages to see if they are willing to help us.”

Master Zhang nodded: ”Yes, unity is strength.”

”By the way, Old Zhang, go and check the nearby mountains to see if you can find some refined ore as a precaution.”

Elder Shi instructed.

”Yes!”

Master Zhang nodded and then the two parted ways to take action.

Master Zhang led a group of young and strong villagers to search for refined ore.

Meanwhile, Elder Shi went to visit elders from other villages to see if they could provide assistance.

On the other side, Gu Sheng was still in the crevice of the Divine Mountain.

He didn’t know how long had passed.

After practicing the Magic Technique from the Seeking Origin Heavenly Book for a while, Gu Sheng felt that his ability to detect with Divine Sense had greatly improved.

However, when Gu Sheng tried to further break through this detection ability, he found himself unable to overcome the bottleneck.

Perplexed, Gu Sheng asked Zhang Tianxing beside him, ”Senior, why is my ability stuck here?”

Zhang Tianxing stroked his beard and chuckled: ”If you continue to practice, your current cultivation can’t handle it.”

”What? Can’t handle it?”

Gu Sheng was stunned.

”That’s right.”

Zhang Tianxing’s words carried a hint of deeper meaning, ”The Magic Technique from the Seeking Origin Heavenly Book contains the ultimate truths of heaven and earth in every level, and the bottleneck you are facing is exactly the gap between your cultivation and the requirements of the Magic Technique.”

Gu Sheng furrowed his brows, beginning to realize that he might have been too eager for quick success.

”Then, Senior, how should I break through this bottleneck?”

Gu Sheng continued to ask.

Zhang Tianxing stood up, walked to the window, and gazed at the mountain scenery outside.

”Slow down, be cautious and patient. Practicing the Magic Technique is not only about improving cultivation but also about honing your mindset. Your mindset isn’t stable enough. It’s normal to be stuck here.”

Zhang Tianxing spoke at an unhurried pace, as if he had experienced it himself.

Gu Sheng fell silent...

He began to reflect on his cultivation process.

At the same time, he realized that while pursuing power, he had indeed neglected the cultivation of his inner self.

True cultivation lies in tempering one’s character.

Both the mighty beings of ancient times and the various current Holy Masters are extraordinary existences.

To reach their level or surpass them, one must go through the tempering of character.

”Yes, I will proceed steadily, earnestly cultivating.”

Gu Sheng nodded as he spoke.

Hearing this, Zhang Tianxing nodded approvingly and continued, ”Moreover, you also need to find an opportunity, or rather some special fortune, that can become your guiding light, aligning your cultivation with the Magic Technique of the Seeking Origin Heavenly Book.”

”An opportunity?”

Gu Sheng nodded thoughtfully, then asked: ”Senior, how do I find this opportunity?”

Zhang Tianxing turned around and looked at Gu Sheng, ”Opportunities often hide in unintentional moments, maybe in a word, maybe in an event.”

Gu Sheng was suddenly reminded of Zhang Tianxing’s earlier mention of the crevice merging.

Perhaps, the opportunity was hidden in the process of the crevice’s merger.

”Senior, I understand now.”

Gu Sheng nodded, saying with contemplation, ”I will follow your advice and at the same time, I also want to consult...”

Before Gu Sheng could finish his words, the talisman on his body suddenly started burning.

”Oh my... This... What is happening?”

Gu Sheng said as he threw off all the burning talismans from himself.

Zhang Tianxing watched the freshly burnt ashes, frowning deeply.

”Could it be trouble?”

Zhang Tianxing said with concern on his face.

”What trouble?”

Gu Sheng asked.

”These talismans were drawn by the Zhang family. They burn to communicate when encountering trouble or when asking Divine Mountain for help. It seems the descendants of Stone Village are in difficulty.”

Zhang Tianxing said with a serious expression.

”Master Zhang? Is it him?”

Gu Sheng suddenly thought of Master Zhang from Stone Village.

Along with the bearded man Chen who abducted the villagers.

”It should be!”

Zhang Tianxing nodded.

Gu Sheng frowned deeply, understanding what the safety of Stone Village meant to Master Zhang.

”I have to go out to help Stone Village and find my own opportunity.”

Gu Sheng said determinedly.

Zhang Tianxing nodded approvingly, ”Are you ready?”

”Ready!”

Gu Sheng replied, taking a deep breath immediately.

He closed his eyes, began to concentrate.

In an instant, the method for Spiritual Energy revival described in the Seeking Origin Heavenly Book emerged in his mind.

Seeing Gu Sheng in this state, Zhang Tianxing raised his right hand, and a ball of golden light appeared in his palm.

Meanwhile, Gu Sheng slowly extended both hands, palms facing up.

He started chanting the Spell from the Seeking Origin Heavenly Book.

In that moment, the surrounding air began shaking, streams of Spiritual Energy converged towards him from all directions.

Simultaneously, Zhang Tianxing pushed the ball of golden light towards Gu Sheng.

In that instant, Gu Sheng’s body began to emit a faint glow, powerful energy flowing through him.

”Ha!”

Gu Sheng suddenly opened his eyes and shouted, pushing his hands upward.

”Swish!”

A strong wave of Spiritual Energy erupted from his palms, heading straight to the crevice in the Divine Mountain.

”Boom!”

With a loud noise, the crevice in the Divine Mountain started to tremble.

Slowly, the gap began to widen.

Unknowingly, beads of sweat covered Gu Sheng’s forehead.

”Save the people! Save the people of Stone Village!”

At this moment, Gu Sheng had only one thought in his mind.

Gradually, the crevice became large enough.

Gu Sheng withdrew his hands, looking excitedly at where Zhang Tianxing had just been.

However, at that moment, there was no one there, not even Zhang Tianxing’s presence remained.

”Senior! Senior!”

Gu Sheng called twice, but there was no response.

Gu Sheng looked up at the wide crevice. If he didn’t leave now, he might get trapped again.

If another hundred-year cycle happened, he could really be trapped here forever.

”Senior! This junior will take his leave first. Thank you for your guidance!”

Gu Sheng bowed respectfully towards the direction of the Void.

Then, without any hesitation, Gu Sheng drove his Divine Power, his body turning into a stream of light, rushing out of the crevice.

In the instant he rushed out, Gu Sheng immediately felt a sense of comfort all over.

The previous feeling of being unable to mobilize Divine Power vanished completely.

”Boom...”

As he flew out of the crevice, it was already nighttime.

The crevice closed up as he flew out, leaving no trace.

”Amazing! Truly amazing!”

Gu Sheng marveled secretly.

He gazed into the distance, seeing light in the direction of Stone Village.

From this, he deduced that the sky had just turned dark not long ago.

Immediately, Gu Sheng drove his Divine Power and flew towards Stone Village.

In the blink of an eye, Gu Sheng arrived at the conference hall of Stone Village.

At this moment, Elder Shi and Master Zhang were discussing strategies anxiously.

Everyone was stunned to see Gu Sheng return.

”Xiao Sheng... you’ve returned?”

Master Zhang’s voice trembled, not expecting Gu Sheng to appear at this moment.

Gu Sheng nodded and glanced around the conference hall.

He saw the worry on Elder Shi and Master Zhang’s faces, and the other elders of the village were also full of concern.

”I sensed your distress signal, so I rushed back immediately.”

Gu Sheng responded.

Elder Shi stood up, an excited expression on his face: ”Xiao Sheng, you’ve come back just in time. The bearded man Chen attacked our village and not only didn’t release the previously captured people, but also took Er Gou as a hostage.”

”The bearded man Chen? How brazen he is.”

Gu Sheng said coldly.

”Sigh...”

Master Zhang sighed: ”Yes, he has many underlings, and our Stone Village’s Er Gou was captured. Now... now his life is uncertain.”
