Gou's Liver Experience in the World of Demons and Demons

"Ling Xiao, you must especially control your mouth and hands and feet. If you offend someone you shouldn't, even I won't be able to save you in time."

Ling Xiao curled his lips, but still nodded.

"Don't worry, Elder Su. I know what to do."

"Huh, I hope so."

Su Yongchang snorted coldly and looked at Gu Sheng again.

"You are very thoughtful. Keep an eye on him more."

Gu Sheng nodded slightly without saying anything more.

His fingers unconsciously stroked the Green Dragon Plate on his waist - it was emerald green in color, with a lifelike green dragon coiled on it, and it was the certificate for entering the Xuanming Divine Mountain.

When Taoist Yong'an handed the token to them, the deep meaning in his eyes still makes Gu Sheng unable to let it go.

"remember."

Su Yongchang continued.

“Xuanming Divine Mountain will be completely enveloped by dark clouds at night, and the effects of divine thoughts and ideas will be greatly weakened at that time, but it is also the time when all kinds of good fortune will appear.

During the day, when the dark clouds disperse, the caves on the mountain are most suitable for cultivation. The closer the cave is to the top of the mountain, the richer the spiritual energy. "

Ling Xiao's eyes lit up.

"Then why don't we just go to the top of the mountain?"

"madness!"

Su Yongchang shouted sternly.

"With your current cultivation level, getting close to the top of the mountain is tantamount to seeking death! The concentration of spiritual energy there is enough to burst your meridians! Just find a cave at the foot of the mountain and practice in peace. Don't aim too high!"

Gu Sheng grabbed Ling Xiao who was about to argue and said in a deep voice.

"We will keep Elder Su's teachings in mind."

Su Yongchang's expression eased a little, and he gave further instructions.

"When you encounter danger, immediately crush the Azure Dragon Plate, and the strong man guarding Xuanming Mountain will help you. But remember, there is only one chance, and you must come out on time after one month, otherwise..."

"Otherwise we'll be kicked out, we understand."

Ling Xiao replied with a smile, but shrank his neck under Su Yongchang's stern gaze.

The three continued to move forward and soon came to a bottomless abyss.

Across the abyss is the real territory of Xuanming Divine Mountain.

Gu Sheng looked over and saw black fog in the abyss. He could faintly hear shrill roars, which was creepy.

"Follow me."

Su Yongchang grabbed a person with one hand, leaped forward, and flew over the abyss like a roc spreading its wings.

Just as they were about to reach the other side, a biting chill suddenly hit them.

Gu Sheng felt as if all the blood in his body was freezing, fine frost floated in front of his eyes, and his breath was filled with an ancient and desolate breath.

What was even more terrifying was that a dull roar came from the bottom of the abyss, shaking his internal organs.

"Humph!"

A cold snort suddenly sounded, like thunder exploding in the ears of the three people.

Gu Sheng’s eyes blurred and he saw a black shadow appear in front of them out of nowhere.

The man was wrapped in a black robe, his face couldn't be seen clearly, only his eyes were so cold that it made people's heart frightened.

"Meet Envoy Xuanming."

Su Yongchang immediately bowed and saluted with an extremely respectful attitude.

Gu Sheng and Ling Xiao also hurriedly saluted. The Xuanming Envoy's eyes swept over the two of them, and Gu Sheng felt a powerful divine consciousness surge, examining him inside and out.

The feeling of being completely seen through sent chills down his spine, but he dared not resist at all.

"Qinglong brand."

The Xuanming Envoy's voice was hoarse and low.

Su Yongchang quickly signaled, and Gu Sheng and Ling Xiao took out the Qinglong brand and presented it with both hands.

The Xuanming Envoy just took a glance, and the two tokens automatically flew back to the hands of the two.

"One month."

Xuanming Envoy said coldly.

"If you fail to return within the time limit, you will die."

When the last word fell, Gu Sheng felt a chill rushing from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, as if the god of death had already placed his scythe on his neck.

He had no doubt that if they dared to overdue, this Xuanming envoy would definitely take their lives without hesitation.

"I will follow the orders of Envoy Xuanming."

Su Yongchang bowed again and then said to Gu Sheng and the others.

"Keep the Azure Dragon Card and remember what I said."

Gu Sheng nodded seriously and put the Qinglong card close to his body.

Ling Xiao also became serious for a rare moment and carefully hid the token in his arms.

Su Yongchang bowed to the Xuanming Envoy again before turning around and leaving.

His figure quickly disappeared in the mist on the other side of the abyss, leaving Gu Sheng and Ling Xiao facing the mysterious Xuanming Divine Mountain.

"Huh - finally gone."

Ling Xiao let out a long sigh, and his cynical expression returned to his face.

"That old man kept nagging along the way. My ears are almost callused."

Gu Sheng frowned and lowered his voice.

"Be careful with your words! The Xuanming Envoy might still be listening."

Ling Xiao waved his hand disapprovingly.

"What are you afraid of? We are official disciples of the Azure Dragon brand. Can he really eat us?"

"you"

Just as Gu Sheng was about to retort, he suddenly felt a cold gaze coming from behind, and he was immediately silenced.

He turned back quietly and saw that the figure of the Xuanming Envoy had disappeared, but the feeling of being monitored was still lingering.

"Let's go."

Gu Sheng said no more and walked towards the foot of the mountain first.

The ground under my feet was soft and moist, leaving shallow footprints with every step, but strangely, those footprints would soon be smoothed out by an invisible force, as if no one had ever walked there.

Ling Xiao quickly followed, looking around curiously.

"This place is really weird. Not even footprints can be left. Hey, Gu Sheng, do you think there are any treasures in those caves?"

"Elder Su said that if you practice during the day, good fortune will appear at night."

Gu Sheng said without turning his head.

"The most urgent thing now is to find a suitable cave to settle down."

"Tch, boring."

Ling Xiao curled his lips, but still followed Gu Sheng's footsteps.

As they gradually approached the foot of the mountain, the spiritual energy in the air became richer and richer, and every breath made people feel refreshed.

Gu Sheng could feel that the spiritual power in his body was slowly increasing. This cultivation speed was at least three times faster than in the outside world!
"No wonder everyone wants to come to Xuanming Divine Mountain to practice"

Gu Sheng thought to himself, becoming even more confused about Taoist Yong'an's intention in giving them this opportunity.

Logically speaking, the Qinghe Holy Land has no relationship with them, so why are they so generous?
"Click——"

Gu Sheng's boots stepped on the soft soil of Xuanming Mountain, making a crisp cracking sound, as if he had crushed the bones of some creature.

He frowned slightly and looked down, only to see faint traces of tiny crystals in the soil, glowing an eerie blue light under the moonlight.

"This place is really weird."

Ling Xiao followed behind, his footsteps were much heavier, completely covering up Gu Sheng's voice.

“Even the soil is weird.”

Gu Sheng did not answer, but stepped forward more cautiously.

Only the occasional moonlight leaking through the gaps in the clouds illuminated their way.

"Let's find a place to rest first."

Gu Sheng finally spoke, his voice very low.

"This mountain is not peaceful. It is too dangerous to move at night."

Ling Xiao rarely refuted and just nodded.

The two groped forward in the darkness.

Gu Sheng's five senses were fully activated, alert to any movement around him.

He could feel that something was watching them in the darkness, and the feeling of being watched was unsettling.

Suddenly, Gu Sheng stopped and looked up towards the top of the mountain.

"what happened?"

Ling Xiao asked nervously. Gu Sheng did not answer, but just stared at the dark night sky.

Just as Ling Xiao was about to ask again, a blinding white light suddenly struck down from the clouds.

The entire sky seemed to be torn apart, the dark clouds retreated to both sides, and white light poured down.

"This is this"

Ling Xiao was stunned.

Wherever the white light goes, the negative energy retreats.

Only then did Gu Sheng realize that they were still at the foot of the mountain and still a long way from the real mountain trail.

What was even more horrifying was that a few pairs of dark green eyes not far away suddenly closed the moment the white light appeared, and with a few unwilling roars, they turned into black shadows and dissipated into the air.

"What are those?"

Ling Xiao's voice trembled a little.

Gu Sheng shook his head.

"I don't know, but obviously doesn't like white light."

He looked around and suddenly his eyes lit up.

"Look over there, there's a cave!"

Less than a hundred steps away from them, the entrance to a cave half hidden behind the rock wall was looming.

The two looked at each other and approached cautiously. The entrance to the cave was not big, but it was big enough for one person to bend over and enter.

The most surprising thing is that there is a mottled stone door at the entrance of the cave. Although it is half open, it can obviously be closed.

"Good luck!"

Ling Xiao let out a low cry of excitement and was about to rush in.

Gu Sheng grabbed him.

"and many more!"

He picked up a stone from the ground and threw it into the hole with force.

The stone fell to the ground with a crisp sound, but other than that there was nothing unusual.

Only then did Gu Sheng nod.

"It should be safe."

The two entered the cave and found that the interior was much more spacious than they had imagined, about three meters square.

There are several naturally formed holes in the cave ceiling, which allow white sunlight to penetrate and illuminate the entire space.

What surprised Gu Sheng the most was that the inside of the stone door was engraved with complex patterns, which was obviously some kind of formation.

"Is this an isolation formation?"

Gu Sheng stroked the patterns on the stone door and felt the fluctuations of spiritual energy contained therein.

Ling Xiao also came over to check.

"It seems to have defensive functions. We have found a treasure!"

Gu Sheng tried to push the stone door and found that although it was heavy, it was fully controllable with their strength.

As the stone door slowly closed, the light in the cave did not dim. Instead, it became brighter and more comfortable as the formation was activated.

"We can now practice the skills Taoist Yong'an gave us with peace of mind."

Gu Sheng let out a long sigh and sat down cross-legged in the middle of the cave.

Ling Xiao also found a place to sit down and took out a few jade slips from his arms.

"The old man is very generous. He gave me three Heaven-level skills. They are all good stuff!"

Gu Sheng nodded, but was not in a hurry to take out the jade slip of martial arts techniques.

He pondered for a moment and slowly took out a long sword from his storage bag.

The sword was sapphire blue all over, with seven star points flashing at the edge. Even in this bright cave, it still emitted a faint cold light.

"This is."

Ling Xiao’s eyes widened.

"The sword you snatched from Wangui Ridge?"

"Tai Chi Seven Star Sword."

Gu Sheng gently stroked the sword, feeling the ancient power contained in it.

"Although it has been damaged, it is still a pseudo-artifact level treasure."

Ling Xiao smacked his lips enviously.

"You are so lucky. I heard that this kind of ancient sword has its own consciousness. Have you tamed it?"

Gu Sheng shook his head.

"It's just a preliminary recognition of the master."

He circulated the Yin Taoism in his body, and the starlight on the sword immediately became brighter. A cold and yin energy flowed along the hilt into his meridians and merged perfectly with his spiritual power.

"This sword energy"

There was surprise in Gu Sheng's eyes.

"It can actually promote my Yin Dao method!"

Ling Xiao moved closer to observe curiously.

"Is this true? I heard that the Tai Chi Seven Star Sword is a treasure of the yang element, how could it have a cold and yin aura?"

Gu Sheng seemed to be thinking about something.

"Yin and Yang coexist, and everything turns to its opposite when it reaches its extreme. This sword has been around for thousands of years, and was buried in a very yin place like Wangui Ridge. I'm afraid it has undergone some kind of mutation."

He swung the sword carefully a few times, and the blade cut through the air, leaving a faint blue trail.

"I have a feeling that with the help of this sword, I will soon be able to break through my mental state."

Ling Xiao sighed enviously, returned to his seat and began to practice.

Gu Sheng studied the Tai Chi Seven Star Sword for a while, but finally put it away and took out the jade slip of martial arts techniques given to him by Taoist Yong'an.

"The Heaven-Measure Holy Fist and the Heaven-Sorrow Sword."

Gu Sheng probed his spiritual sense into the jade slip, and information about two lower-grade heavenly martial arts flooded into his mind.

He first chose to practice boxing. The Heaven-Measurement Holy Fist is divided into nine levels, and each level can bring about a qualitative change in the strength of the boxing.

Gu Sheng followed the instructions in the jade slip and mobilized the spiritual energy in his body to flow along specific meridians.

Progress was slow at first, but as his understanding of the technique deepened, his practice became faster and faster.

Three hours later, Gu Sheng suddenly opened his eyes, and a faint golden light appeared on his right fist.

He made a fake punch to the cave wall. Although he didn't really exert any force, the wind from his punch still left a shallow fist mark on the stone wall.

"The first level is complete?"

Ling Xiao was awakened by the noise and looked at the fist mark in surprise.

"It's only been a short time. You're too perverted!"

Gu Sheng smiled slightly.

“This style of boxing suits me very well.”

He didn't say much, but took out the jade slip of "The Sword of Heavenly Sadness".

"I'll try my sword skills."

The difficulty of practicing "Sword of Heavenly Sorrow" is obviously higher than boxing. This sword art emphasizes "using sorrow into sword and carrying the truth with sword", which requires practitioners to integrate their own emotions into sword moves. Each move contains different emotional power.

Gu Sheng tried several times but failed to find the trick.

"It seems that swordsmanship is not that easy."

Ling Xiao has already mastered the basics of practicing the "Nine Sky Soaring Cloud Steps" and is moving around in the cave, his figure erratic.

Gu Sheng was not discouraged, but became more focused.

He recalled everything he had experienced over the years, the life-and-death battles, the companions he had lost, the unrevenged hatred. All these emotions surged in his chest and finally turned into a sword intent that burst out from his fingertips.

"laugh--"

An invisible sword energy streaked through the air, leaving a long and thin mark on the stone wall.

"It's done!"

Gu Sheng's eyes sparkled.

"I have started the first Sad Wind Style!"

Ling Xiao stopped and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Your understanding is really unique. It took me a long time to practice my body skills to a level that I can barely use."

Gu Sheng was about to answer when his expression suddenly froze and he raised his hand to signal Ling Xiao to be quiet.

The two held their breath and concentrated, vaguely hearing the sound of light footsteps coming from outside the cave, which came from far away and finally stopped outside the stone gate.

"somebody is coming."

Gu Sheng spoke to Ling Xiao in secret voice transmission, and quietly stood up, ready for battle. (End of this chapter)
