Taoist Xiushan's eyes shone with hope, but soon dimmed. He smiled bitterly and said, "How easy is this? The Purple Spirit Mountain is so proud, how can it be so easy to gain their recognition?
What's more, the Goddess of Tianxuan has always had very high standards, and it is even more difficult to ask her for an introduction. In this critical moment, having such hope is better than nothing."

As the two were talking, a strong fluctuation of spiritual energy came from the secret room.

Taoist Xiushan's face changed and he exclaimed, "Oh no, it's Gu Sheng's aura! What happened to him?"

The treasure pavilion master was also shocked, and the two of them rushed towards the entrance of the secret room. As soon as they arrived at the entrance, they felt a strong sense of oppression coming towards them.

In the secret room, the spiritual energy around Gu Sheng was surging, and the originally calm atmosphere became chaotic.

"Is he about to break through?" the treasure pavilion master said in surprise.

Taoist Xiushan said: "Looking at this situation, it does seem like he is making a breakthrough. But his aura is so unstable, if we are not careful, he may go crazy."

A flash of lightning flashed in the secret room. A formed sky thunder appeared near Gu Sheng. This sky thunder was thick and flashed with blue light, carrying the aura of destroying the world.

Taoist Xiushan widened his eyes in horror and shouted, "Oh no! It's a heavenly thunder tribulation! How could this kid attract a heavenly thunder tribulation at this time?"

What shocked Taoist Xiushan even more was that Gu Sheng not only did not dodge, but instead excitedly pounced towards the thunder.

Taoist Xiushan's face changed drastically, and he shouted hurriedly: "Gu Sheng, are you crazy? Get out of the way!"

Gu Sheng seemed not to have heard Taoist Xiushan's call, and rushed towards the thunder without looking back. The thunder was extremely fast and hit Gu Sheng.

There was a loud bang, and the entire secret room began to tremble violently. The powerful energy fluctuations made Taoist Xiushan and the master of the treasure pavilion retreat again and again.

"Gu Sheng!" Taoist Xiushan roared and rushed into the secret room desperately.

The treasure pavilion master did not dare to delay and followed closely while searching for the life-saving treasure in his storage ring.

As they rushed into the thick smoke, a more powerful aura burst out. It was Gu Sheng's aura! Gu Sheng's hair was disheveled, and lightning was flowing around him, but the lightning seemed to have no effect on him.

He let out a deep roar, and a powerful aura burst out from his body. The Suzaku Tear Stone in his arms also released super energy to help him break through.

"This...how is this possible?" Taoist Xiushan was so shocked that he was speechless.

The next moment, the white clothes on Gu Sheng's body exploded, revealing his strong body. His aura also changed drastically at this moment, breaking through from the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm to the early stage of the Underground Palace Realm.

Taoist Xiushan looked at Gu Sheng in front of him with a look of disbelief. The treasure owner was also stunned, and the treasure in his hand almost fell to the ground. The two looked at each other and saw the same shock and surprise in each other's eyes.

The power of the fully formed heavenly thunder was terrifying, enough to turn most of the strongest people in the world into dust. However, the young man in front of him managed to withstand it and even achieved a breakthrough with it. It was truly incredible.

"This...how is this possible!" The treasure pavilion owner couldn't help but exclaim.

"Xinghong Spirit Realm has existed for hundreds of thousands of years, and there has never been such a young Underground Palace Realm expert. This boy has a bright future!"

Taoist Xiushan maintained his usual calm expression, but he could not hide the satisfaction in his eyes. "This boy is gifted and has good luck. It is not entirely accidental that he has achieved what he has today."

Gu Sheng realized that he was naked. His face flushed red and he hurriedly picked up the clothes on the ground and put them on.

Taoist Xiushan gently reminded, "Gu Sheng, don't panic. You have just broken through to the Underground Palace Realm, and your foundation is not yet stable. The most urgent task is to use the remaining time to consolidate your foundation as soon as possible. Don't leave hidden dangers due to momentary negligence."

Gu Sheng tried to calm himself down. He sat cross-legged on the ground, crossed his legs, formed seals with his hands, closed his eyes, and entered a state of cultivation.

A powerful aura surged out from his body. Under the impact of this aura, the surrounding air began to twist and deform violently, making a "buzzing" sound.

Gu Sheng could clearly feel that his strength was increasing at an astonishing speed.

Every breath and every thought could cause a violent fluctuation in the power in his body. He estimated that his strength had increased by at least ten times.

This strong feeling of power made him feel an irrepressible excitement and pride. He couldn't help but imagine what would happen if he fought with the Qiankun Zunwang.

The Lord of Heaven and Earth was a strong man who had reached the half-step underground palace realm. He was very famous and held a pivotal position in the entire Xinghong Spiritual Domain. He also had the support of the Taishang Immortal Sect, which had a profound foundation. That huge force was enough to make any strong man feel apprehensive.

It was useless to indulge in this kind of pressure. He tried to adjust his mindset, put aside all distractions, and devote himself to cultivation.

Gradually, his breath became more and more stable. The power that was originally slightly disordered due to the breakthrough also became orderly under his careful arrangement.

The treasure pavilion master looked at Gu Sheng's changes with surprise in his eyes, and couldn't help asking Taoist Xiushan:
"This kid's aura stabilized so quickly, it's really amazing. Xiushan, why do you think this is happening?"

Taoist Xiushan smiled slightly, his eyes full of pride, and explained: "This is the advantage of the Holy Body. As your cultivation level continues to improve, the power of the Holy Body will become more and more obvious.

Gu Sheng's holy body already contained infinite potential, and after breaking through to the underground palace realm, this potential was further stimulated. In terms of consolidating the foundation, he is naturally much faster than ordinary people."

The treasure pavilion master's eyes were full of envy. "Such talent, such a physique, is really a blessing from heaven. Given time, this kid will definitely become the backbone of our Xinghong Spiritual Domain."

As the two were talking, the treasure pavilion master remembered something and turned to Taoist Xiushan and asked, "By the way, Xiushan, I've always been curious, when did you teach this kid the Blue Dragon Ten Steps?"

The smile on Taoist Xiushan's face disappeared, replaced by a look of hesitation. He lowered his head slightly, was silent for a moment, and then said: "Actually... I did not teach him the Blue Dragon Ten Steps."

The treasure pavilion master widened his eyes and asked in confusion, "Why is this? The Blue Dragon Ten Steps is the top-level technique of your Xiushan lineage and is extremely powerful.

With Gu Sheng's talent and physique, if he practices this technique, he will definitely be able to add wings to a tiger. Why don't you teach it to him?" Taoist Xiushan sighed, his face full of worry, and explained: "Why don't I want to teach him the Blue Dragon Ten Steps?

This boy is extremely talented and kind-hearted. I have long planned to take him in as my successor.

But… although the Blue Dragon Ten Steps is powerful, it is extremely risky to practice. If you are not careful, you may go astray or even die suddenly.”

The treasure pavilion master was a little puzzled and said, "With Gu Sheng's holy body, is it not enough to withstand the risks of this practice? We have all seen how powerful the holy body is. He will definitely be able to withstand the pressure of practicing the Blue Dragon Ten Steps."

Taoist Xiushan shook his head helplessly, his eyes full of worry, and said: "You don't know. Gu Sheng's holy body is much stronger than ordinary people. This is certainly his advantage, but it is also his hidden danger.

Once one goes astray while practicing the Ten Steps of the Blue Dragon, the consequences would probably be several times more serious than that of an ordinary person.

I hope he can inherit my legacy and carry forward the Blue Dragon Ten Steps, but I can't bear to see him take this risk. This... is really hard for me to decide!"

After listening to Taoist Xiushan's explanation, the treasure pavilion master's heart was also in turmoil. Taoist Xiushan's words were true, Gu Sheng's holy body was indeed a double-edged sword.

On the one hand, it endowed Gu Sheng with unparalleled talent and potential; on the other hand, it also made him face greater danger when practicing certain high-risk techniques.

The two were silent for a long time, and a heavy atmosphere filled the air.

After a while, the treasure owner spoke up, "Xiu Shan, I understand your concerns. Gu Sheng is a rare genius, and his future achievements are limitless. We really shouldn't let him take risks easily.

After all, the Blue Dragon Ten Steps is the inheritance of your Xiushan lineage. It would be a pity to give it up like this. In my opinion, we might as well observe for a while to see how Gu Sheng practices.

If he can achieve further breakthroughs in the cultivation of other techniques, then perhaps it won’t be too late to consider teaching him the Blue Dragon Ten Steps Technique.”

In the Tianlan Holy Land, the matter of the Goddess Tianxuan looking for her fiancé has become the most important event in the Holy Land. Time flies, and fourteen days pass in a flash, but the true identity of the fiancé is difficult to determine.

Imposters continued to emerge, including two former saints who were over a hundred years old. This chaos caused headaches for the Saint Lord Tianlan and the Saint Mother, who were overwhelmed with dealing with related affairs every day.

After hearing this in Shuiling Pavilion, Gongsun Yue's beautiful eyes were filled with anger and disdain. She spat and said, "These people have brought shame to our Tianlan Holy Land! For the sake of that so-called status, they did such shameless things."

She was extremely disgusted with those impostors and felt that their actions were a disgrace to the reputation of the holy land.

Mother Tianlan sat aside and said solemnly, “This matter is indeed tricky. If the real fiancé is not identified as soon as possible, the chaos will probably get worse.

Once the identity is confirmed, those imposters must be severely punished to serve as a warning to others." As a saint, she shoulders the responsibility of maintaining the order and dignity of the holy land. Faced with such a chaotic situation, she is naturally very anxious.

Although Gongsun Yue was angry at those impostors, she was more concerned about Gu Sheng's training in Shenfeng Leishan.

She couldn't help but ask, "Holy Mother, I wonder how Gu Sheng is doing in his training in the Divine Wind and Thunder Mountain? I'm really worried." Her eyes were full of worry.

Holy Mother Tianlan comforted her softly, "Girl Yue, don't worry. Taoist Xiushan has been guarding there. When Gu Sheng finishes his training, he will bring him to see you." Gongsun Yue was concerned about Gu Sheng, so she comforted her patiently.

Gongsun Yue was secretly worried.

She raised her eyes and looked into the distance, muttering to herself: "I hope everything goes well for Gu Sheng and he can come back soon."

Holy Mother Tianlan thought of the many troubles that Lord Qiankun had brought recently, and said worriedly: "Lord Qiankun has already caused a lot of trouble. I am worried that other holy places will take advantage of the opportunity to add insult to injury. By then, my Tianlan Holy Land will probably face a major crisis."

Gongsun Yue raised her eyebrows and said, "Holy Mother, there is no need to worry too much. Didn't Goddess Tianxuan promise to help Gu Sheng? With her help, Gu Sheng will be able to turn danger into safety." She believed in the promise of Goddess Tianxuan and was convinced that Gu Sheng would be fine.

Holy Mother Tianlan shook her head gently and sighed, "It still depends on how important Gu Sheng is in the heart of Holy Mother Tianxuan. If Gu Sheng can be valued by her, then it is naturally a good thing;

Otherwise, this help may be limited." She was not very sure about the attitude of the Goddess of Tianxuan, so she was inevitably worried.

Gongsun Yue said firmly: "I believe that the Goddess Tianxuan will do her best to help Gu Sheng. Gu Sheng is an upright and kind person, and he has extraordinary abilities. How could the Goddess Tianxuan not value him?"

She was full of confidence in Gu Sheng, and also had complete faith in the character of Goddess Tianxuan.

In the Divine Wind and Thunder Mountain, lightning and thunder roared, and the roar was deafening. Gu Sheng was in the middle of it, surrounded by violent lightning.

He closed his eyes tightly, concentrating on circulating the spiritual power in his body, allowing the lightning to continuously strike his body. Under the tempering of the lightning, his aura gradually became stable and powerful.

After an unknown amount of time, Gu Sheng opened his eyes and felt his body was full of strength. The familiar figure of Taoist Xiushan appeared in front of him.

Taoist Xiushan looked at Gu Sheng with a look of satisfaction in his eyes. He nodded and praised: "Not bad, you have gained a lot from this training. Let's go, it's time to go back."

Gu Sheng nodded slightly and said, "Thank you, Senior Xiushan, for your care and guidance during this period." Then he followed Taoist Xiushan and left Shenfeng Leishan.

In another part of the holy land, the treasure pavilion master was already hurriedly rushing towards the Elders' Hall.

He was eager to see the result of the selection of Tianxuan Goddess's fiancé. This result was related to many matters in the future of the Holy Land, so he naturally did not want to miss it.

Outside the Elders' Hall, quite a few people had already gathered. Goddess Tianxuan was about to announce the information of her fiancé. The Holy Lord, the Holy Mother, and the elders had also arrived here early, with different expressions, quietly waiting for the result to be revealed.

Gu Sheng followed Taoist Xiushan all the way to Shuiling Pavilion. As soon as he entered Shuiling Pavilion, he saw the Holy Mother, Gongsun Yue, his sister, and his master's wife. He showed doubt in his eyes.

When Gongsun Yue saw Gu Sheng coming back, a bright smile appeared on her face. She walked over to him quickly and said, "Gu Sheng, you are finally back. In order to prevent you from worrying about your family's safety while you are practicing, the Holy Mother has decided to bring your sister and Master's wife to live in Shuiling Pavilion."
