Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World

Chapter 1647: Chapter 836: Vigilance (2)

But the aura he exudes at this moment is far colder, deeper, and more terrifying than when he was in the Wuya Sect!

Clearly, the power of Venerable Ming River within him has revived even more!

”Tsk, tsk, Junior Sister Xia, it’s been years, and you’re still so... oblivious.”

Xiao Beixuan smiled coldly, his gaze sweeping over the seriously injured Bai Yu siblings, as if looking at two ants.

He didn’t even bother to make a move, merely waved his sleeve casually!

An invisible, formidable force erupted suddenly!

The severely injured Bai Yu and Bai Zhi were completely unable to resist, once again sent flying violently, crashing heavily against the distant mountain wall, rocks splintering, losing consciousness entirely, life or death unknown!

”Bai Yu! Bai Zhi!”

Xia Fuqu’s eyes were wide with rage! But she forcibly suppressed the urge to rush forward because she saw Xiao Beixuan’s gaze sweeping over the shrinking gap of the passageway in the blue-green light screen with a smirk!

”Junior Sister Xia, I advise you not to move.”

Xiao Beixuan’s voice was playful, like a cat teasing a mouse.

”Look, the passage is about to close. Inside, Master Gu seems not to have come out yet? If the passage breaks and this ’Heavenly Marrow Sealing Spirit Array’ closes again...

Tsk, tsk, even someone at the Heavenly King Realm trapped inside wouldn’t last long, right? Do you want him... to be buried with Qing Feng?”

Xia Fuqu’s body suddenly stiffened!

She stared fiercely at the narrowing gap on the light screen, then looked at the barely visible figure of Gu Sheng struggling toward the jade platform, her face turning extremely grim!

Xiao Beixuan’s words hit her weak spot!

She cannot disregard Gu Sheng’s safety!

Just as Xia Fuqu is captivated by Xiao Beixuan’s words, her heart shaken dramatically—

In the Spirit Liquid Pool, Gu Sheng naturally heard the commotion outside and felt the terrifying Evil Qi and pressure!

His heart tightened, instantly understanding the situation outside! Xiao Beixuan has arrived! Moreover, his strength is far beyond expectations!

He glanced at the nearby, vacant-eyed Qing Feng, then at the gap on the verge of closing outside the light screen. Without a moment of hesitation, determination flashed in his eyes!

Rescue Qing Feng! He must rescue him! Otherwise, this trip would be meaningless!

As for retreat... Gu Sheng’s eyes hardened, his True Yuan surged madly, resisting the increasingly viscous and heavy pressure of the Spirit Liquid, his speed, instead of decreasing, increased as he charged toward the jade platform!

He believes in Xia Fuqu, and he trusts his judgment! Retreats are always forged by oneself!

Outside the light screen, when Xiao Beixuan saw Gu Sheng not panicking and trying to rush out, but instead accelerating towards Qing Feng, surprise flashed in his eyes, followed by cold killing intent.

”Humph! You are fearless! If so, then let’s deal with you first!”

He no longer paid attention to Gu Sheng inside the light screen; his gaze locked onto Xia Fuqu and Xiao Mengling, a cruel arc at the corner of his lips.

”Junior Sister Xia, and this little girl from Wanling Palace? Today, you both will stay here!”

Before his voice fell, his figure flickered and vanished from where he stood!

In the next instant, a claw covered in dark scale armor, emanating concentrated Evil Qi, appeared with a space-tearing screech before Xia Fuqu!

”Meng Ling! Retreat!”

Xia Fuqu shouted fiercely, her eyes bursting with a decisive light!

She was already poised for action, facing this lethal strike, advancing instead of retreating!

Her hands sealed instantly, and an immense and pure True Yuan mixed with strong spiritual power exploded!

It condensed in front of her into a golden light shield, swirling with mysterious runes!

The Evil Qi claw slammed fiercely onto the golden light shield! Screeching friction and energy explosion sounds erupted simultaneously!

The golden light shield quaked wildly, surface runes flashing frantically, emitting unbearable groaning!

Xia Fuqu grunted, a trace of blood seeping from the corner of her mouth, her body shook back repeatedly!

But she successfully blocked the strike! Granting Xiao Mengling invaluable retreat time!

Xiao Mengling reacted swiftly; the instant Xia Fuqu spoke, she unhesitatingly held the bamboo scroll and retreated rapidly!

At the same time, her clear eyes were filled with urgency, sharply watching the figure inside the light screen, soon to be completely isolated by the closing screen!

She bit her lip with her pearly teeth, her eyes filled with determination!

Suddenly, she tossed the bamboo scroll high into the air! The bamboo scroll unfolded amid the air, emitting a soft glow!

Xiao Mengling quickly formed seals with her hands, forcing out a drop of Essence Blood from her fingertip and pointing it onto the bamboo scroll!

The bamboo scroll’s light intensified greatly!

A character formed purely of True Qi pierced through the remaining gap in the Light Screen, precisely aiming at Gu Sheng in the Spirit Liquid Pool!

The True Qi character instantly merged into Gu Sheng’s Sea of Consciousness, transforming into a clear message.

”Master Gu! The Light Screen is closing! You must save Senior Situ! We will find a way to rescue you! If the master needs to intervene, the marriage contract... can be voided! This light will aid you!”

With the message fully conveyed, the last bit of light on the bamboo scroll suddenly shone brightly, transforming into a tiny stream of light, following the True Qi character, shooting into the Light Screen’s gap, merging into Gu Sheng’s body!

Gu Sheng felt his body lighten, and the oppressive pressure of the Spirit Liquid around him suddenly lessened significantly!

Xiao Mengling’s last glimmer of light had temporarily granted him the ability to resist the Spirit Liquid’s resistance!

At this point, the cyan-green Light Screen finally completely closed! The gap vanished without a trace, completely isolating inside from outside!

Within the Light Screen, assisted by that power of light, Gu Sheng’s speed soared, and he instantly rushed onto the jade platform!

He landed in front of Situ Qingfeng, looking at the immobilized senior bound tightly by pale golden Rune Lock Chains, reaching out his hand, ready to attempt to break the chains!

Just as his fingers were about to touch Situ Qingfeng’s body—

A light, pleasant, but also icily aloof female voice sounded in his ear unexpectedly, clearly echoing into his Sea of Consciousness:

”Stop! On the stone platform, a ’Sealing Soul Ban’ has been laid! If you touch him, your own Divine Soul will be instantly locked by this restriction, trapped in this Spirit Liquid Pool, never to escape!”

The cold, aloof warning voice struck like a thunderbolt in Gu Sheng’s Sea of Consciousness!

His outstretched hand halted abruptly in midair, less than an inch from Situ Qingfeng’s body!

An invisible chill spread up his fingertip, causing his Divine Soul to tremble!

He swiftly turned his head, gaze like lightning, scanning towards the source of the voice!

Not far from him, thick, Heavenly Marrow Spirit Liquid, as if parted by an invisible force, a petite silhouette slowly emerged.

It was a little girl who looked only twelve or thirteen years old.

She was wearing an exquisitely luxurious Seven-Colored Gauze Skirt, its hem gently swaying in the Spirit Liquid.

She was barefoot, her small, white feet floating within the Spirit Liquid.

Her delicate little face looked as if sculpted from jade, skin like porcelain, and below her long lashes were a pair of eyes crystal clear yet seemingly filled with endless stars.

At this moment, those eyes, curious and scrutinizing, silently watched Gu Sheng.

Gu Sheng’s pupils narrowed! This little girl... when did she appear? With his soul perception power, he hadn’t sensed her at all!

The little girl seemed to read Gu Sheng’s thoughts, her pink lips curving into a smile that belied her age, carrying an air of amusement and ancient wisdom.

Her voice, clear and pleasant, yet containing an odd penetration power, directly entered Gu Sheng’s Sea of Consciousness:

”No need to look. I have always been by your side, it’s just that you... couldn’t see me before.”

She tilted her little head, her gaze mischievous.

”Or, more precisely, ’we’ have always been by your side.”

”’We’?”

Gu Sheng’s brows furrowed tightly, a strong sense of foreboding rising in his heart!

This little girl’s presence was extremely peculiar, seemingly pure and flawless, yet faintly exuding an indescribable profundity and ancientness.

”Yes.”

The little girl nodded, her voice still clear, but her tone becoming complex.

”I am she, and she is also she.”

She extended her white, tender finger, first pointing at her own heart, then towards Gu Sheng.

”I am the ’Spiritual Embryo’ birthed from being nurtured with your Essence Blood and soul. I am also... the one awakened forcefully by that great cauldron within you and bound by your soul blood contract... Miao Muqing.”

Gu Sheng’s mind was shaken to its core! Spiritual Embryo! Miao Muqing!
