Gou's Liver Experience in the World of Demons and Demons
Chapter 669: Xuanming Divine Mountain
Before leaving, Liang Yu looked at Gu Sheng deeply, his eyes full of suspicion and hostility.
After everyone left, only Su Yongchang, Gu Sheng and Ling Xiao were left in the hall.
The Ancient Eye was still suspended in the air, but its rotation speed had slowed down, as if it had lost interest in the remaining people.
Gu Sheng finally couldn't help but speak.
"Senior Su, this is..."
Su Yongchang smiled mysteriously.
"follow me."
After saying that, he turned and walked towards the small door at the back of the hall.
Gu Sheng and Ling Xiao looked at each other and saw confusion and vigilance in each other's eyes, but they could only follow.
Ling Xiao followed behind Su Yongchang, frowning slightly, feeling annoyed.
Su Yongchang was mysterious all the way. He refused to answer any questions and only said that he would know the answer once he got to the destination.
He secretly sent a message to Gu Sheng who was beside him.
"This old man Su is really good at keeping us in suspense. He's making fun of us!"
Gu Sheng looked calm as usual, and followed without looking away, but replied via voice transmission.
"Brother Ling, Senior Su saved our lives after all. If he hadn't shown up in time, we would have died long ago. It's understandable that he has concealed some of the truth."
"Humph!"
Ling Xiao snorted coldly in his heart.
"Who knows what he's up to? I always feel that things are not that simple."
Gu Sheng said in a voice transmission with worry in his eyes.
"You are right. There may be an even greater crisis ahead. We are new here and know nothing about the Nine Heavens Galaxy. We must be extra careful."
The two were communicating secretly when suddenly their eyes lit up.
I saw a brilliant Milky Way hanging in the sky, surrounded by clouds and mist, and the spiritual energy was so rich that it almost turned into substance.
Sacred mountains are suspended on both sides of the Milky Way, with magnificent palaces, circling cranes and auspicious clouds on the mountains.
"This"
Ling Xiao widened his eyes and was speechless for a moment.
Even with his knowledge, he had never seen such a spectacular sight.
Gu Sheng was also shocked, but quickly collected himself and whispered.
"Such a rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth. One day of cultivation here is probably equivalent to one month of practice in the outside world."
Su Yongchang turned around and glanced at the two of them, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
"How is it? Did I not lie to you? This Nine Heavens Milky Way is the holy land of our sect. Ordinary disciples will never have the chance to see it in their entire lives."
Ling Xiao curled his lips and didn't respond.
Gu Shengze said respectfully.
"Thank you for showing us this amazing sight."
The three of them walked along the edge of the Milky Way. There was a bottomless void under their feet, but there was an invisible force supporting them, making it as if they were walking on flat ground.
The pleasant and ethereal sound of flowing water came to my ears. The sound seemed to cleanse the soul and make people relax unconsciously.
A spiritual river with a strange light appeared in the field of vision.
The surface of the river shimmers, as if flowing with the essence of time and stars.
Cranes and various birds fly and play over the river, adding a bit of vitality to this quiet place.
"That is."
Ling Xiao narrowed his eyes, trying to see what the flashing light under the river was.
Gu Sheng stood on a protruding rock, overlooking the Ling River, and suddenly his pupils shrank.
"Brother Ling, be careful! There's something at the bottom of the river!"
Just as he finished speaking, a huge black shadow could be seen swimming slowly under the river. Although their entire appearance could not be seen clearly, the aura it exuded made the two men's hair stand on end.
"A beast at the bottom of the river."
Su Yongchang said calmly.
"Don't worry, they won't easily attack people on the shore."
Ling Xiao swallowed his saliva and said calmly.
"Senior Su, why did you bring us here?"
Su Yongchang smiled mysteriously and pointed to the river.
"Look over there."
Following the direction of his finger, the two saw an old man sitting quietly fishing.
The old man had a thin face, snow-white hair, and a spotless plain robe. He held a fishing rod with runes on it in his hand, and he exuded an otherworldly temperament.
"That's the tutor."
Su Yongchang lowered his voice.
"I will introduce you to him."
Gu Sheng's eyes focused, and he suddenly noticed that the sleeve of the old man's right arm was empty, and he was actually a one-armed man.
He was startled, but quickly concealed it.
Su Yongchang led the two men and walked slowly toward the river. When they were still more than ten feet away from the old man, they stopped and saluted respectfully.
"Master, I have brought two young men to see you."
The old man who was fishing had his back to them and seemed to be concentrating on fishing without any reaction.
Su Yongchang was not in a hurry either. He just moved his lips slightly, obviously using telepathy to explain the situation to his master.
Gu Sheng and Ling Xiao stood where they were, not daring to breathe.
A breeze blew across the river, blowing up the old man's snow-white hair and revealing his slightly thin profile.
"Master."
Su Yongchang transmitted the message.
"These two are extremely talented, especially Qing Feng, who seems to have signs of awakening ancient blood. I am worried that if I let them undergo a regular talent test, it will definitely attract the attention of other elders, so I brought them directly to see you."
The old man who was fishing nodded imperceptibly, but the fishing rod in his hand did not move at all.
At this moment, a sudden change occurred!
The surface of the river suddenly exploded, and a huge black shadow broke out of the water, opened its bloody mouth, swallowed the bait in one gulp, and at the same time dragged the entire fishing rod to the bottom of the river.
The aura emanating from the black shadow was as powerful as a mountain, shocking Su Yongchang, Gu Sheng and Ling Xiao so much that they took several steps back.
"Heavenly Palace Realm!"
Gu Sheng was shocked.
"And he is at least in the middle stage of the Heavenly Palace! Such a being is actually just a fish?"
The old man who was fishing finally took action.
He stood up slowly, and suddenly an aura even more terrifying than that of the giant beast at the bottom of the river burst out from his body.
Gu Sheng and Ling Xiao were so shocked that their legs went weak and they almost fell to the ground.
The old man turned around and looked at the two of them with a pair of eyes as deep as the starry sky.
Gu Sheng felt an invisible force sweeping across his body, as if it wanted to see through him inside and out.
"Master?"
Su Yongchang asked tentatively.
"What do you think?"
The old man fishing did not answer immediately, but continued to use his spiritual power to investigate the two people.
Ling Xiao's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he sent a message to Gu Sheng.
"Oh no, did he find out something?"
Gu Shengqiang remained calm.
"Don't panic. My secret technique is hard to be seen even by elders. There shouldn't be any problem."
The old man who was fishing suddenly let out a cry of surprise and his body shook slightly.
This subtle reaction made Gu Sheng and Ling Xiao's hearts instantly rise to their throats.
"Master?"
Su Yongchang also noticed something unusual, and there was confusion in his tone.
The old man who was fishing was silent for a moment, and finally spoke slowly, his voice seemed to come from ancient times.
"These two little kids are not simple."
He turned around slowly, Gu Sheng and Ling Xiao's hearts were beating like drums, waiting for the verdict of fate.
The old man's eyes moved between the two people, finally settling on Gu Sheng.
"Come here, you two little guys."
The old man said without turning his head.
Gu Sheng and Ling Xiao looked at each other and walked forward slowly.
Gu Sheng could feel the slight sweat on his palms.
"Senior." Gu Sheng bowed respectfully, and at the same time secretly practiced the "Breath-Suppressing Technique" to suppress the fluctuations of spiritual energy in his body to the level of the late underground palace.
This set of skills was taught to him personally by his master Taoist Xiushan before he left, and was specifically used to hide his true level of cultivation.
The old man turned slowly, and Gu Sheng could see his face clearly.
His wrinkles are like dry bark, but his eyes are as bright as stars, as if they can see through people's hearts.
When that gaze fell on him, Gu Sheng felt a chill running up his spine, as if all the secrets in his body were seen through.
"The foundation is solid, and the spiritual power is condensed. Not bad, not bad."
The old man narrowed his eyes and glanced back and forth between the two men.
"One in the Underground Palace Stage and one in the Half-Underground Palace Stage. Considering your age, it is indeed rare."
Ling Xiao lowered his head slightly to hide the surprise in his eyes.
They did suppress their cultivation, but the old man could see through their disguised realm at a glance. His eyesight was truly terrifying.
Su Yongchang, who was standing aside, showed joy when he heard this.
"Uncle Master, I said these two are pretty good, right? They are better than most of our core disciples!"
The old man did not comment, but suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed his skinny fingers at Gu Sheng's forehead.
Gu Sheng instinctively wanted to step back, but found himself unable to move. A strange force penetrated into his meridians and traveled throughout his body.
"what?"
The old man frowned.
"The trajectory of your spiritual energy is somewhat special."
Gu Sheng's heart skipped a beat.
There are subtle differences between the cultivation methods of Tianlan Holy Land and Qinghe Holy Land. Although he has tried his best to conceal it, under such a close-up inspection, clues are inevitably revealed.
"When I was young, I fell off a cliff. Fortunately, a wandering Taoist priest saved me and taught me some basic skills."
Gu Sheng thought quickly and spoke sincerely.
“Perhaps this is why it is different from the orthodox method of cultivation.”
The old man stared at Gu Sheng for a long time and finally withdrew his finger.
"Chance is also part of practice. However."
He changed the subject.
"You are far inferior to that man."
"Uncle Master is right."
Su Yongchang's expression became complicated.
"Gu Sheng from Tianlan Holy Land."
When the old man uttered the name, there was deep hatred in his eyes, and his left hand unconsciously stroked his right arm - the empty sleeve there swayed gently in the wind.
Gu Sheng's pupils shrank slightly, and he forced himself to remain calm.
Ling Xiao gently touched his arm, signaling him to calm down.
"Gu Sheng?"
Ling Xiao pretended to be curious.
"Is he great?"
"A genius for all ages!"
Su Yongchang sighed.
"He is less than twenty years old. It is said that he has reached the Great Perfection of the Underground Palace and may break through the Heavenly Palace at any time. No one in the Tianlan Holy Land has been able to surpass him in the past thousand years."
The old man sneered.
"Genius? Humph! He's just a ruthless youngster!"
He suddenly ripped open the sleeve of his right arm, revealing a shocking broken arm wound - the broken surface was as smooth as a mirror, but it was surrounded by a layer of strange green light, as if it was squirming with life, preventing the wound from healing.
"This is."
Ling Xiao took a breath of cold air.
"Sword wound."
The old man gritted his teeth.
"Tianlan Gu Sheng's Qingming Sword Qi! Fifty years ago, when the ancient secret realm was opened, I met him in the Xuanming Cold Pond and fought for a Nine-turn Resurrection Grass. That guy looked humble on the surface, but in fact he was scheming. He pretended to be defeated and lured me into the formation, and then..."
He formed his left hand into a claw and made a slashing motion.
Gu Sheng frowned.
He remembered the battle in the secret realm fifty years ago, but it was clear in his memory that the old man had attacked first, and he had no choice but to fight back in self-defense. Now, it sounded like the whole thing was turned upside down.
"What's even more hateful is his master Taoist Xiushan!"
The old man continued, his eyes becoming more angry.
"That old man was hypocritical, trying to persuade me to make peace on the surface, but secretly poisoned me while I was healing. This damaged my foundation and I will never be able to reach the Heavenly Realm in my lifetime!"
Gu Sheng clenched his fists. Master Xiushan was a gentle man who never made enemies with anyone. How could he have done such a thing as poisoning? This was clearly a frame-up!
"so."
The old man suddenly approached Gu Sheng, and a terrifying light shot out of his one eye.
"I want you to remember these two names - Tianlan Gu Sheng, Taoist Xiushan! If you have the chance one day, you must bring their heads to me! If I am dead by then, place them in front of my grave!"
Gu Sheng's throat tightened.
Asking him to kill himself? And also to kill the master who treated him like a son? This absurd request made him at a loss for how to respond.
Seeing the two men were silent, Su Yongchang thought they were frightened and hurried to smooth things over.
"Uncle Master, they are still young, please don't..."
"What? Don't you dare?"
The old man interrupted sharply.
"Since you have entered our Qinghe Holy Land, you should know that we and Tianlan are irreconcilable! Moreover..."
He smiled grimly.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Ling Xiao quickly bowed and said.
"Don't worry, senior. If I have the chance, I will do my best!"
The old man nodded with satisfaction and turned to Gu Sheng.
"What about you?"
Gu Sheng suppressed the absurd feeling in his heart and clasped his fists.
"Junior, remember this."
"Good! Good!"
The old man suddenly laughed, but there was no joy in his laughter.
"From today on, you are my last disciples! Su Yongchang, take them to Xuanming Divine Mountain."
He looked at Gu Sheng meaningfully.
Leaving the river and walking on the winding mountain road, Su Yongchang whispered.
“Master Uncle has a strange temper, but he is willing to accept you as his disciples, which is really a great opportunity.
Although he lost one arm, his strength is still among the top three in the Holy Land."
"Is Gu Sheng really that scary?"
Ling Xiao asked tentatively.
Su Yongchang looked solemn.
"Twenty years ago, Tianlan and Qinghe fought in Meteorite Valley. Gu Sheng fought alone against three elders of our holy land, seriously injuring two and killing one. Since then, the two holy lands have agreed that Tianque Realm should not take action, thus maintaining superficial peace."
Gu Sheng was silent.
He still remembered the battle vividly. It was Qinghe who ambushed the Tianlan caravan first, and then he attacked in anger.
Now it seems that the Qinghe Holy Land blames all conflicts on Tianlan, and the hatred is deep-rooted.
The dark clouds were as black as ink, rolling in the sky above the Xuanming Divine Mountain, as if an ancient ferocious beast was lurking there, swallowing up the spiritual energy between heaven and earth.
Occasionally, a few strange purple lightning flashed in the thick clouds, but they disappeared in a flash, making it difficult to understand.
"Is this the Xuanming Divine Mountain?"
Ling Xiao looked up at the towering mountain with excitement in his eyes.
"It really lives up to its reputation!"
Gu Sheng stood aside, frowning slightly.
He felt the ancient atmosphere in the air, like a cold wind from tens of millions of years ago blowing in his face, causing him to involuntarily tense his body.
His eyes swept across the vaguely visible cave entrances at the foot of the mountain. Each cave entrance emitted a faint spiritual light, and the higher he went, the brighter the light became.
"You two, listen up."
Su Yongchang turned around and swept a serious look across the faces of the two men.
"Xuanming Divine Mountain is not like an ordinary place for cultivation. The cultivators here are very powerful. There are even saint sons and saint daughters who are in seclusion here." (End of this chapter)
