Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World

Chapter 1693: Chapter 859: Desolate Valley (2)

The female adviser noticed that her ”Senior Brother” seemed especially cold today, feeling a bit surprised, but she didn’t think much of it, assuming he was concerned about the environment or putting on airs.

She licked her red lips, her body almost pressing against the incarnation, breathing softly like orchid, she continued to tease.

”Senior Brother~ Why aren’t you speaking? Could it be... you’re disdainful of your Junior Sister? Or perhaps, you’ve taken a fancy to that delicate little girl from the Five Poison Divine Sect in the team? Hmm?”

Just as her words fell!

The silent Gu Sheng moved!

His movements were as fast as lightning, without any warning!

His right hand somehow had a pitch-black, non-reflective short sword about a foot long! The short sword was like a snake emerging from its hole, bringing with it an extreme sharpness and aura of death, precisely piercing the female adviser’s chest without her having a moment to react!

”Uh... you...!”

The seductive smile on the female adviser’s face froze instantly, replaced by boundless terror and incredulity!

She looked down at the black short sword embedded in her heart, feeling her Life Force and Cultivation being crazily devoured and extinguished by a strange power, she wanted to struggle, to scream, but found she couldn’t make a sound, her body quickly becoming cold and stiff.

Gu Sheng emotionlessly withdrew the short sword, the blade untouched by a single drop of blood.

The light in the female adviser’s eyes completely faded, her delicate body collapsing softly to the ground, breathless and lifeless.

”The ’Enchanting Heart Technique’ of the Heavenly Charm Sect... poorly trained yet dare to come out making a fool of oneself.”

Gu Sheng looked at the corpse on the ground, coldly whispered.

”This Purple Mist Divine Sect, no, this Southern Prince Mansion’s leftover mess is really mixed with dragons and fishes, even Evil Cultivators from the Heavenly Charm Sect can blend in and become advisers in the City Lord Mansion.”

His gaze fell on the pitch-black short sword, which was not his usual weapon.

”This short sword... where did it come from?”

He had just raised this question in his mind.

A crisp and childish voice, yet carrying a hint of maturity, sounded beside him.

”Of course, I made it!”

With a flash of light and shadow, a little girl about eleven or twelve years old, carved from jade and powdered sugar, wearing two small hair buns, appeared out of nowhere beside the incarnation, it was a projection of Gu Ling’er’s Spiritual Body.

Her hands on her hips, her expression saying ”Praise me.”

”I transformed a thread of my own Original Spiritual Energy, secretly incorporating a bit of the superficial Daoist Rhythm of the ’Eastern Emperor Thousand Illusion Path’ you mastered, so it seemed ordinary, but for dealing with such wicked outsiders... Oh no, best used to handle these Evil Demons, directly extinguishing vitality and Soul Power, ensuring a thorough death, without leaving a trace of residual soul!”

Gu Ling’er explained proudly.

”Eastern Emperor Thousand Illusion Path...”

Gu Sheng felt a stir in his heart.

This unparalleled inheritance obtained from the Eastern Emperor Secret Realm was mysterious and elusive, after receiving it, he was busy dealing with various affairs and facing strong enemies, unable to calm down to delve into research and cultivation.

He asked through the incarnation.

”Ling’er, my understanding of the Eastern Emperor Thousand Illusion Path, you can also share and use?”

”Of course!”

Gu Ling’er nodded vigorously, her face full of confidence.

”We are connected by soul origin! What you can do, I can naturally use! And I’m not afraid to tell you, while you’ve been busy fighting and killing, without time to study properly, I’ve used my spare time to thoroughly deduce and learn the things you know!

Especially this Eastern Emperor Thousand Illusion Path, I find it particularly interesting, perhaps I’ve mastered it a little deeper than you!”

Gu Sheng, hearing this, couldn’t help but sweat a little. Possessing numerous opportunities, but tangled in worldly affairs, unable to fully digest them.

This Eastern Emperor Thousand Illusion Path is infinitely profound, if deeply mastered, whether for disguise, stealth, illusion technique or confronting enemies, it would have incredible use.

”Once this matter is settled, I must calm down and have a good immersion.”

He resolved inwardly.

Recollecting his thoughts, Gu Sheng sharply scanned the surrounding Ancient Forest. Since the Longevity Ancestor already suspects his identity and might have informed various forces outside the Secret Realm to lay a Heaven and Earth Net.

Then, he could use this incarnation to stir up a great commotion within this Secret Realm! Attract everyone’s attention, allowing his real self to slip away like the Golden Cicada Shell, act freely, and completely dispel suspicions!

...

On the other side, in another area of the Secret Realm.

Gu Sheng’s real self briefly identified the direction with Situ Qingfeng.

”Gu, this way.”

Situ Qingfeng seemed quite familiar with this place, he pointed to a direction covered in rosy glow and proactively led the way.

”According to the memories left by my mother, not far ahead should be the main hall of the ’Golden Roc Nest’ Secret Realm, the core area where the Golden-winged Roc used to roost, the greatest opportunity is likely there.”

Gu Sheng looked at Situ Qingfeng with some surprise, not expecting him to know the Secret Realm so well.

Situ Qingfeng sensed his gaze, explaining while he walked quickly.

”No need to wonder, Gu. My intimate knowledge of this Secret Realm isn’t because I’ve been here, but because... of my mother.

She’s not an ordinary person, within her flows an extremely thin Ancient Demon bloodline related to the Golden-winged Roc.

Before she passed away, she used a secret technique of bloodline inheritance to imprint the majority of her memories and map information about this Secret Realm into the depths of my Divine Soul.”

His tone carried a hint of reminiscence and sorrow, but more of determination.

”Therefore, I know where there might be danger, where there might be Treasure, and also how to avoid unnecessary trouble and reach the core area as quickly as possible.”

Gu Sheng realized, so that’s how it is.

This kind of bloodline inheritance memory is indeed mysterious.

With Situ Qingfeng leading, they moved swiftly through the swirling clouds and colorful glow. The land at their feet was soft yet rich in Spiritual Energy, with many rare Spirit Grass and exotic flowers everywhere, but neither had the time to care about them.

Suddenly, from a dense cluster of strange trees emitting a multicolored halo ahead, a very slight ”rustling” sound came!

The sound was light, as if something was treading on fallen leaves, but then immediately suppressed and restrained, clearly some creature noticed them, secretly observing while lightening its footsteps, seemingly assessing their strength and intentions.

Gu Sheng’s eyes focused, his powerful spiritual power quickly swept forward like a tide!

However, upon touching the thicket, his spiritual power seemed to encounter an invisible barrier, cleverly twisted and shielded, unable to clearly perceive the specific situation beyond! The opponent evidently possessed a special Magical Treasure capable of concealing spiritual power perception!

”Hide and seek, sneaky!”

Gu Sheng coldly hums, his voice not loud but carrying sharp penetration power, directly shouting towards the back of the thicket.

”Come out! Don’t even think about harming Young Master Situ!”

His words were both a warning and a test, positioning himself as a loyal guard.

Behind the thicket, there seemed to be an extremely subtle sound, like a quiet sigh of relief. Following this, a rustling sound erupted, a figure emerged, pushing aside the colorful branches, walking slowly from behind the thicket.

The figure walking out from the thicket wasn’t alone but three people! They were all wearing the standard attire of the Purple Mist Divine Sect, showing a mix of fright and forced friendly smiles.

The lead person quickly cupped his hands, speaking with apologetic and slightly flattering tone.

”So it’s Young Master Situ and this... Senior! A misunderstanding, a huge misunderstanding! Just now, seeing figures from afar, we thought they were people from other Divine Sects, fearing unexpected encounters, we hid to spy, almost offending the Young Master and Senior, hoping for forgiveness!”

Situ Qingfeng and Gu Sheng exchanged a knowing glance. Situ Qingfeng stepped forward, exhibiting appropriate curiosity, and questioned.

”Oh? All of you are fellow Divine Sect explorers of the Secret Realm, why such precautions, even to the point of hiding and spying?”

The leading disciple of the Purple Mist Divine Sect chuckled bitterly and explained.
