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

"You obtained the two supreme secret techniques, the Spirit Emperor's Divine Path and the Eastern Emperor's Thousand Illusions Path, right?"

Gu Sheng's brow twitched, and alarm bells rang in his mind.

This woman knew him far more than he had imagined.

"Empress Ye Qinglan and Emperor Ling Qingyan were legends of their time."

Miao Muqing's voice suddenly became distant, as if it had traveled through the river of time.

"And the secret technique of the Imperial Sect that you obtained was known at the time as the Eastern Emperor's Thousand Illusions Path."

A glint flashed in Gu Sheng's eyes, and he suddenly understood something.

"You want to collect all four strongest paths of the Four Martial Realms?"

Miao Muqing nodded approvingly.

“Smart. Before it was usurped by the Longevity Cult, the Supreme Longevity Scripture was called the Southern Emperor's Longevity Path.”

Her voice suddenly lowered.

"And the most complete secret technique is contained within the Southern Emperor's Seal."

Gu Sheng's heart skipped a beat.

The Supreme Longevity Scripture was his purpose in coming to the Southern Frontier, and now, the complete version of the Southern Emperor's Longevity Path is right before his eyes.

"What are your conditions?"

Gu Sheng went straight to the point.

"Help me out of this dead end and reassemble my physical body."

Miao Muqing looked directly into Gu Sheng's eyes.

"In exchange, the Southern Emperor's Seal is yours."

Gu Sheng remained silent for a moment, his brows furrowed.

"A dead end? What dead end?"

Miao Muqing's expression suddenly turned serious.

"Although the Southern Emperor lineage has been in seclusion for many years, its foundation remains strong. The reason why Xiaguang City has been only accepting new members and not sending any out recently is because..."

she was.

“The leaders of the major sects have secretly infiltrated the city; these people are at least at the Earth King realm.”

Gu Sheng's heart skipped a beat.

The Earth King Realm represents the pinnacle of martial arts; any one of them could easily sweep across an entire region.

And now, there are actually several such powerful individuals lurking in the shadows?
"You think I can fight against a King of the Earth Realm?"

Gu Sheng sneered.

"That's giving me too much credit."

Miao Muqing shook her head.

"No, my intuition tells me that you are the only variable in this deadlock."

Gu Sheng fell into deep thought.

His purpose in coming to the Southern Frontier was to obtain the Supreme Longevity Scripture, and if he could get the Southern Emperor's Seal from Miao Muqing.
"I need to obtain the Southern Emperor's Seal first."

Gu Sheng suddenly spoke, his gaze resolute.

"I will only help you after you have successfully comprehended the secret technique."

Miao Muqing hesitated for a moment, but quickly regained her composure.

"can."

She readily agreed, and at the same time, a golden light suddenly flashed across her chest.

Miao Muqing's slender fingers gently stroked the ancient surface of the Southern Emperor's Seal. The emerald green seal shimmered with a faint blue light in her palm, trembling slightly as if it were alive.

“Young Master Gu, the Southern Emperor’s Path to Immortality is located within it.”

She handed the seal to Gu Sheng, her eyes gleaming with an unfathomable light.

"The Purple Cloud Cave will open within three days, giving you enough time to comprehend this Dao."

The moment Gu Sheng received the Southern Emperor's Seal, a chilling aura rushed up his arm and straight to his mind, causing him to shiver involuntarily.

This seemingly ordinary seal actually contains such terrifying power.

"Miss Miao is so comfortable entrusting the Southern Emperor's Seal to me?"

Gu Sheng narrowed his eyes, his fingertips tracing the Southern Emperor Seal, feeling the surging power fluctuations within it.

Miao Muqing chuckled softly, her red lips slightly parted.

"I have already shown my sincerity. Whether Young Master Gu believes it or not is up to you."

She turned and beckoned to Miao Ren and Miao Wu.

"let's go."

The three figures vanished like smoke into the depths of the courtyard in an instant, leaving only Gu Sheng and Ye Yi standing there.

A night breeze blew by, ruffling the stray hairs on Ye Yiyi's forehead.

She frowned slightly, gazing in the direction Miao Muqing had left, and murmured.

"Why is she so trusting of me? I am a member of the Zixia Divine Sect."

Gu Sheng did not answer immediately, but instead held the Southern Emperor's Seal up to the moonlight to examine it carefully.

The bottom of the seal is engraved with intricate runes, which are faintly visible under the moonlight.

Suddenly, his pupils contracted slightly, and a thought flashed through his mind.

"wrong."

Gu Sheng suddenly turned around, his gaze piercing Ye Yiyi like a knife.

"What did I overlook?"

Ye Yi was startled by his sudden action and took a half step back.

"Mr. Gu?"

Every detail of the past few days flashed through Gu Sheng's mind. From stepping into the Southern Frontier, to meeting Ye Yiyi, and then to everything that had happened today.

All the clues intertwined in his mind, gradually forming a clear network.

"Miss Ye, no, perhaps I should call you Nangong Yingying?"

Gu Sheng spoke slowly and deliberately, his voice as cold as ice.

Ye Yiyi's expression changed drastically, but she quickly regained her composure.

"What is Young Master Gu saying? I don't understand."

"Good acting."

Gu Sheng sneered.

"But it's not good enough. When Miao Muqing mentioned the situation at Yujing Gate, your fingers trembled involuntarily three times. And the fate of Yujing Gate is so similar to that of the Zhennan Prince's Mansion!"

Ye Yiyi's breathing became noticeably rapid.

Gu Sheng continued.

"What's even more coincidental is that on the day I entered the city, you happened to be inspecting the city gates and you happened to be sitting next to me. How can there be so many coincidences in the world? Unless... someone arranged it carefully."

"besides."

Gu Sheng took a step closer.

“Nangong Yingying and Nangong Baye know my whereabouts best. You've been watching me from the very beginning, haven't you? The adopted daughter of the Prince of Zhennan?”

The courtyard was deathly silent; even the chirping of insects had disappeared.

Ye Yiyi—no, she should now be called Nangong Yingying—finally and completely collapsed her pretense.

She smiled wryly.

"As expected of Young Master Gu, you were able to deduce my identity from these details."

Just then, a soft sigh came from the shadows of the room.

"I knew I couldn't hide it from Young Master Gu."

A purple figure slowly emerged from the shadows. In the moonlight, the woman's face was exquisitely beautiful, with a striking vermilion dot between her brows.

"Moonlight?"

Gu Sheng narrowed his eyes.

"Or should I call you Nangong Yuexia?"

The woman smiled slightly and bowed slightly.

"Yuexia of the Zixia Divine Sect greets Young Master Gu. Of course, you can also call me Nangong Yuexia, after all, that is my real name."

Nangong Yingying looked at Yuexia in surprise.

"Sister, you."

"The plan has been exposed, and there's no point in hiding it anymore."

Nangong Yuexia said softly, but her gaze remained fixed on Gu Sheng.

"Since Young Master Gu was able to see through my sister's identity, he must have guessed part of the truth."

Gu Sheng gripped the Southern Emperor's Seal tightly in his hand and sneered.

"All I know is that I seem to have been caught up in a rather large conspiracy. It's quite an unexpected bonus that the people of the Purple Cloud Cult are actually from the Southern Emperor's lineage."

Nangong Yuexia gently shook her head.

"It's not 'it actually is,' but 'it always has been.'"

She raised her hand to form a hand seal, and a purple glow flowed in her palm.

"The Purple Cloud Cult was originally a spy left in the Southern Frontier by the Southern Emperor's lineage, and it has been lying dormant for a full thousand years."

These words struck Gu Sheng like a thunderclap.

"A millennium-long plan? Doesn't that mean it was all arranged? Contacting Miao Muqing was an arrangement, and even this Southern Emperor's Seal was part of it?"

He stared at the Nangong sisters.

"Isn't this also part of your plan?"

The phantom of the Nine Dragons Universe Cauldron slowly rotated behind Gu Sheng, the nine dragon patterns moving as if alive, radiating a suffocating pressure.

Nangong Yuexia's fingertips trembled slightly. She hadn't expected that Gu Sheng could see through their scheme in such a short time.

"Young Master Gu, there seems to be some misunderstanding here."

Nangong Yuexia forced a smile, but glanced at her younger sister, Nangong Yingying, out of the corner of her eye.

"Misunderstand?"

Gu Sheng sneered, and a blue dragon in the nine-dragon phantom suddenly raised its head and let out a silent roar. "I hate being used as a pawn. The Southern Emperor's Longevity Path is good, but if it comes at the cost of being schemed against, I would rather not have it."

Nangong Yingying hurriedly stepped forward, her black hair moving without any wind.

"Young Master Gu, please calm down! We truly..."

"Shut up!"

A cold glint flashed in Gu Sheng's eyes, and the phantom of the Nine Dragon Cauldron suddenly expanded, enveloping the entire room.

"This is your last chance. Tell the truth, or I'm leaving immediately."

A suffocating sense of oppression filled the air, and the Nangong sisters' robes fluttered even without wind.

Nangong Yuexia's expression was uncertain. She hadn't expected Gu Sheng's strength to be so formidable. The pressure from the cauldron alone had slowed down the circulation of her spiritual energy.

"elder sister!"

Nangong Yingying transmitted her voice secretly.

"This person's strength far exceeds expectations; we cannot confront him head-on!"

Nangong Yuexia suppressed the shock in her heart.

"What truth does Young Master Gu want to hear?"

Gu Sheng's lips curled into a cold smile.

"Your true purpose in entering Zixia Cave Heaven."

"We have indeed come for the Southern Emperor's Seal."

As soon as Nangong Yuexia opened her mouth, she saw the cold light in Gu Sheng's eyes intensify, and a beam of azure light shot into the sky from the Nine Dragon Cauldron, piercing through the roof.

"enough!"

Gu Shengli shouted.

"Save that kind of nonsense to fool a three-year-old!"

Just as the atmosphere was becoming tense, a clear bell suddenly rang out from outside the door.

"Hehehe, why is Young Master Gu so angry?"

Miao Muqing, dressed in a long purple gauze dress, entered gracefully with Miao Wu and Miao Ren.

The cinnabar mole between her eyebrows gleamed eerily under the light.

"The Nangong sisters also had no choice in the matter."

Gu Sheng's eyes held a knowing look.

"It's really you."

Miao Muqing covered her mouth and chuckled softly.

"Young Master Gu discovered me long ago? I am truly delighted."

The Nangong sisters' expressions changed drastically, and Nangong Yingying exclaimed in surprise.

"Miao Muqing! How could you..."

"How would it appear here?"

Miao Muqing gently touched her temples.

"Naturally, I came with Young Master Gu. After all, he's probably the only one capable of opening the seal on the Immortal Pool of Creation."

Gu Sheng raised an eyebrow slightly.

"The Immortal Pool of Creation?"

Miao Muqing looked directly into Gu Sheng's eyes, no longer trying to hide her gaze.

“Indeed. I need Young Master Gu's power to break the seal. That seal requires powerful soul force, and I believe…”

She paused.

"Young Master Gu may be the reincarnation of a powerful being."

The room was completely silent; even breathing could be heard clearly.

The Nangong sisters exchanged a shocked look; clearly, even they were unaware of this information.

Gu Sheng's eyes held a strange look.

"You're more honest than they are. However..."

He changed the subject.

What exactly is inside the seal?

Miao Muqing's smile froze on her face.

"I cannot tell you that."

"Ah."

Gu Sheng sneered.

"Is this your sincerity?"

Miao Muqing bit her lower lip and suddenly did something that shocked everyone: she knelt on one knee and looked up at Gu Sheng.

"I can have Young Master Gu place a restriction within me, completely handing me over to your control. Is that sincere enough?"

"Miss!"

Miao Wu and Miao Ren exclaimed in surprise at the same time.

Nangong Yuexia's pupils suddenly contracted.

"Miao Muqing, have you gone mad?"

Gu Sheng narrowed his eyes, scrutinizing the woman who had suddenly shown weakness in front of him.

His mind raced. Although he possessed the strength of a Sect-Slaying Realm expert, he knew it would be difficult to escape unscathed from the presence of multiple Sect-Slaying Realm experts in the room.

Although Miao Muqing's suggestion was risky, it did show considerable sincerity.

"interesting."

Gu Sheng slowly raised his hand, and a wisp of pale golden flame condensed at his fingertips.

Since you took the initiative to request it...

Miao Muqing closed her eyes, her long eyelashes trembling slightly.

"Please, Young Master Gu, do as you please."

Gu Sheng lightly touched Miao Muqing's brow with his fingertip, and the wisp of golden flame instantly disappeared into her skin.

Miao Muqing trembled and let out a soft groan, but quickly regained her composure.

When she opened her eyes again, there was a pale golden flame mark between her eyebrows.

"The soul restriction is complete."

Gu Sheng withdrew his hand.

"Now, tell me, is the Southern Emperor's Longevity Path truly within the Southern Emperor's Seal?"

Miao Muqing touched the mark between her eyebrows and smiled wryly.

"That's true. The Southern Emperor's Seal not only contains the path to immortality, but also..."

"enough."

Gu Sheng interrupted her.

"We'll talk about these things when we get to Zixia Cave."

He turned to the Nangong sisters.

"What about you? Are you going to continue acting?"

Nangong Yuexia's expression shifted between light and dark, and she finally let out a long sigh.

"Young Master Gu, you are wise. We do indeed have other plans. But we will have to wait until we enter the cave to tell you the details."

Gu Sheng snorted coldly.

"Very well. Miao Muqing, arrange a secluded place for me to cultivate. Come and pick me up in three days."

On the west side of Xiaguang City, a secluded courtyard was shrouded in layers of arrays, so much so that even birds dared not approach.

Miao Ren and Miao Wu stood outside the courtyard gate and respectfully bowed to Gu Sheng.

“Senior Gu, this secluded cultivation place is a forbidden area of ​​my Miao family. It is equipped with a triple king-level defensive formation, so it is absolutely safe.”

Miao Ren pointed to the flowing runes on the courtyard gate and said, his eyes showing a strange look.

Gu Sheng stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze sweeping across the surroundings like lightning.

The corners of his mouth raised slightly.

"Indeed, please thank Patriarch Miao for me."

Miao Wu quickly cupped his hands in greeting.

"You're too kind, senior. If needed, simply activate the communication jade talisman in the courtyard, and we'll come immediately."

After the two left, the smile on Gu Sheng's face gradually faded.

He flicked his fingertips, and three invisible bursts of energy shot towards the three corners of the courtyard wall.

"buzz"

Ripples spread through the air, and the previously hidden array patterns appeared for a moment before disappearing again.

Gu Sheng frowned slightly.

"As expected, there's a surveillance formation. Miao family, what exactly are you planning?"

He slowly walked into the main house, took out four array flags from his storage ring, and placed them in the four corners of the room.

As true energy was injected, a transparent light screen rose up, enveloping the entire room.

"Now, we can begin."

Gu Sheng sat cross-legged and took out the ancient Southern Emperor's Seal from his bosom.

The seal is entirely bluish-black, with the four ancient seal characters "长生永住" (meaning "eternal life") engraved on the bottom, gleaming faintly under the light.

"The Southern Emperor's Longevity Path is a legendary cultivation technique that can grant immortality."

Gu Sheng slowly probed the seal with his spiritual power.

Just as his spiritual power was about to touch the seal
"boom!"

A violent tremor suddenly came from behind him, and the Nine Dragons Universe Cauldron uncontrollably manifested its true form, with nine dragon patterns seemingly coming to life and swimming across the cauldron's body.

A terrifying suction force erupted from the mouth of the cauldron, and the Southern Emperor Seal was sucked into the cauldron with a "whoosh"!

"what?!"

Gu Sheng was shocked and stood up abruptly. (End of Chapter)
