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

The crucial second half was sealed by him with a powerful seal using his pure soul power.

"This is Lan Liyue's legacy."

Gu Sheng handed the jade talisman to Qi Diaowu.

"The first half is enough for the Five Poisons Sect to digest for many years. The second half involves the methods of a saint, and I have set a soul seal on it. When you achieve the realm of a saint in the future, the seal will be removed."

Qi Diaowu eagerly took the jade talisman, probed it with his spiritual power, and began to browse it.

The vast and profound information of the inheritance captivated him, but when he tried to access the latter half, a powerful backlash of his soul suddenly struck him, causing a sharp pain in his sea of ​​consciousness and nearly shattering his spiritual power!

"What a powerful seal!"

Qi Diao was horrified, his gaze towards Gu Sheng becoming even more profound. How powerful must the soul of someone capable of setting up such a potent soul seal be?

He withdrew his mental energy, suppressed his excitement, and looked at Gu Sheng, his tone now carrying a hint of subordinate respect.

"Sir, what are your plans next?"

Gu Sheng turned his gaze eastward, his eyes suddenly becoming sharp as knives, and a chilling killing intent emanated from him.

"Return to the Eastern Wilderness and kill people."

"kill?"

Qi Diao Wu was slightly taken aback.

"The deadline for the life-or-death battle with a rival is approaching."

Gu Sheng's tone was calm, yet it carried an undeniable confidence.

"My strength had not yet recovered, and I still needed to be very patient."

Now that my cultivation has reached the Sect Realm, and I possess a Dao Body forged from four top-tier Dao Auras, my actual combat strength is enough to fight against an early-stage Earth King Realm cultivator! It's time to go back and settle old scores and clear my name.”

Upon hearing this, Qi Diaowu's eyes flashed with understanding, and he then asked.

"Do you need the assistance of my Five Poisons Divine Sect? I have an adopted son whose cultivation has reached the half-step Venerable realm. He can accompany you to ensure everything goes smoothly."

"No need."

Gu Sheng refused without hesitation, his tone filled with arrogance and determination.

"If I want to kill someone, I will do it myself. Why should I use someone else's hand?"

The lacquer carving, though lacking in visual appeal, evoked even stronger admiration, prompting praise.

"Sir, you certainly have character!"

He paused and continued.

"In that case, let Yaoyao accompany you to the Eastern Wilderness. Once you've finished your personal business, you can take her directly to the Central Plains, saving you the trouble of traveling back and forth."

how is it? "

Gu Sheng glanced at Qi Diaowu, hesitated for a moment, and did not refuse.

"Alright. Let her come along."

He continued.

"As for the specific details of the cooperation between the Five Poisons Sect and the Linglang Pavilion, the Linglang Pavilion will send someone to discuss them with the Ancestor in detail soon."

The lacquer carving nodded in agreement.

"I understand. I await good news."

As evening fell, the afterglow of the setting sun bathed the Five Immortals Royal City in a warm golden hue. Gu Sheng, having altered his appearance and disguised himself as Qi Diao Yaoyao, a handsome but somewhat wild young man, quietly departed from this majestic city in the southern frontier.

After flying silently for hundreds of miles, Qi Diao Yaoyao finally couldn't help but purse her lips, her tone filled with disbelief and a hint of grievance, and muttered in a low voice.

"Grandpa, really... you just dumped me on you like this... aren't you afraid you'll sell me off..."

Gu Sheng kept his eyes forward, his feet moving steadily in the air. Hearing this, he didn't turn his head. His voice was calm but carried a convincing power.

"Don't worry, since I promised your grandfather, I won't harm you. Not only will I not harm you, I will also resolve the side effects of your Sacred Gu Spirit Body."

He paused, then continued in an unquestionable tone.

"Once we arrive in the Eastern Wilderness, you will formally become my disciple and my second officially recognized disciple."

"What?! Become an apprentice?! And a nominal disciple?!"

Qi Diao Yaoyao abruptly stopped her escape, her eyes, though disguised, still wide open, as if she had heard some unbelievable tale.

"You...how old are you? You want me to become your apprentice?! Are you kidding me?!"

She's the little princess of the Five Poisons Sect, and her grandfather is the Poison Lord who commands respect throughout the southern border. To expect her to become the disciple of someone who looks only a few years older than her? It's an utter disgrace!
Gu Sheng also stopped and glanced at her indifferently.

"Age and experience are never the only criteria for judging a teacher. You just need to do as they say."

Qi Diaoyao, puffing up in anger, suddenly remembered someone and asked.

"Then... what about Situ Qingfeng? What did you do to him?"

"I told him to go back to Great Wilderness City first."

Gu Sheng replied.

"He has his own place to go."

"Hmph, you sure know how to order people around, treating him like a trophy too?"

Qi Diao Yaoyao snorted somewhat discontentedly. Although Situ Qingfeng had been bewitched by her before, they had traveled together and had developed a bond of friendship through shared hardships.

Gu Sheng's lips curled slightly, with a hint of mockery.

"Spoils of war? Perhaps. However, if you were to become my disciple, according to seniority, you would have to respectfully address him as 'Uncle-Master' when you see him."

"Master...Master Uncle?!"

Qi Diao Yaoyao was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, instantly bristling with anger. She pointed at Gu Sheng, so angry that she could barely speak.

"You...you can forget about it! I will never call him 'Master Uncle'! Why should I!"

Seeing her exasperated expression, Gu Sheng said nothing more and turned to continue flying away. Qi Diao Yaoyao stomped her foot on the spot, but finally gritted her teeth and followed.

During the flight, Gu Sheng suddenly spoke, breaking the silence.

"What is the true level of your cultivation?"

He had already noticed that Qi Diao Yaoyao possessed a magical artifact that concealed her aura, disguising her leaked energy as that of a peak Earth Martial Realm cultivator, but this could not escape his perception.

Qi Diaoyao was stunned for a moment, seemingly not expecting Gu Sheng to suddenly ask this question.

She hesitated for a moment, but still chose to be honest, after all, they were now in the same boat. "Half-step Sect Realm."

Her voice carried a hint of barely perceptible pride. At her age, reaching the half-step sect realm made her a top genius in the Southern Border.

Gu Sheng nodded without commenting, and then said...

“My offer to take you as my apprentice is not a spur-of-the-moment decision, nor is it as vulgar as you might imagine.”

"It's because you... bear a striking resemblance to an old friend."

"Old friend?"

Qi Diao Yaoyao's curiosity was piqued, and she subconsciously touched the scar on her face that was covered by illusion magic, guessing.

"Could it be... that your old friend also had a scar on his face, left by the scorching power of the Dao?"

Gu Sheng shook his head, his gaze seemingly traversing time and space, carrying a hint of reminiscence.

"Do not.

She resembles you because... she is also a Sacred Gu Spirit.

"what?!"

Qi Diao Yaoyao's expression suddenly changed, her golden eyes filled with shock and disbelief! The Sacred Gu Spirit Body is a once-in-a-millennium phenomenon. She originally thought she was unique, but she never expected that Gu Sheng's "old friend" would also possess this physique!

Gu Sheng withdrew his gaze and gave her a meaningful look.

"You will understand the reason for this in the future."

Qi Diao Yaoyao was itching to ask him something because of his mysterious manner, but she didn't want to press him further, so she could only mutter something under her breath.

"Pretend to be a ghost..."

Gu Sheng ignored her and focused on his journey. In fact, he had already realized that Qi Diao Yaoyao was actually younger than he had imagined, only fifteen years old this year.

Although the Holy Gu Spirit Body granted her unparalleled talent in Gu Dao, it was also a double-edged sword, constantly eroding her life force. The real scar on her face and her slightly mature appearance were manifestations of the backlash from the spirit body and the overdraft of her life force.

The two traveled eastward at an extremely fast speed, but did not use any teleportation arrays. During this time, Qi Diao Yaoyao tried several times to start a conversation, but Gu Sheng dismissed her with a few words each time, leaving her feeling incredibly bored.

As dawn broke and the first light of day appeared on the horizon, the two had already arrived near the border between the Eastern Wilderness and the Southern Frontier. The continuous high-speed flight had taken a toll on Qi Diao Yaoyao, a mere half-step Grandmaster, and her face appeared slightly pale.

She finally couldn't hold back and complained with dissatisfaction.

"Hey! Why don't we use the teleportation array? Why do we have to go through all this trouble to fly here? With your wealth, can't you afford the teleportation fee?"

Gu Sheng stopped his escape light and hovered in mid-air. His gaze swept over the vast mountains and forests below, and his tone was calm but carried an undeniable air of authority.

“I have my own plans. Also, I hope this is the last time you question my decision, or as you might say… overstep your bounds.”

His gaze calmly fell on Qi Diao Yaoyao, yet she felt an invisible pressure.

She opened her mouth, but thinking of her grandfather's instructions and the hidden dangers within herself, she ultimately suppressed her dissatisfaction, gritted her teeth, and answered somewhat reluctantly.

"……understood."

Seeing that she had given in, Gu Shengcai slowly spoke.

"Because the fish... is about to bite."

"Fish? Biting the hook?"

Qi Diao Yaoyao was taken aback at first, then suddenly realized what was happening, and a look of surprise flashed in her golden eyes.

"You mean...we flew all this way to...attract those who might try to ambush us?"

"good."

Gu Sheng nodded, his sharp gaze sweeping across the surrounding void.

"That old fox, the Immortal Ancestor, may not completely believe the news that I am dead."

Even if he believed it, besides him, there are quite a few people in the Southern Frontier and Eastern Wilderness who are secretly watching me, Gu Sheng, wanting my life or coveting my possessions. If I take the teleportation array and go directly to the heart of the Eastern Wilderness, how will these people have a chance to make a move?

As soon as he finished speaking——

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

As if to confirm his words, a series of dense, ear-piercing sounds suddenly came from the southern horizon! Countless figures radiating various colors and varying in strength, like a swarm of sharks smelling blood, were rapidly closing in on the airspace where the two of them were located!

A murderous aura instantly filled the sky that had just welcomed the dawn!

Seeing the hundreds of martial artists at the Grandmaster level rushing towards them in a dark, murderous aura, as well as the three figures exuding the pressure of the Human King level, Qi Diao Yaoyao's expression changed slightly. She subconsciously took a step closer to Gu Sheng, her tone carrying a hint of barely perceptible tension.

"Hey... so many people, including three King Realm experts... won't we attract that old monster, the Longevity Ancestor, too?"

Gu Sheng stood with his hands behind his back in the void, his clothes fluttering slightly in the morning breeze, his expression still calm, as if what was rushing towards him was not a deadly assassin, but a bunch of chickens and dogs.

His gaze swept calmly across the distance, his tone carrying a hint of worldly wisdom.

"The Ancestor of Immortality? Right now, he's probably busy 'digesting' the Purple Cloud Sect and has no time to spare. The Purple Cloud Ancestor's lifespan is coming to an end, it's a foregone conclusion. With such a golden opportunity to annex the Purple Cloud Sect, why would he risk losing something as small as me?"

As he spoke, his mind stirred slightly as he tried to sense the wisp of soul power left in Nangong Yuexia's sea of ​​consciousness.

However, the distance was too great, and the sensation had become extremely weak, like a candle flickering in the wind, difficult to touch, let alone exert any influence.

'So be it, just a pawn. Since I can't control it for now, let it be manipulated by the Ancestor of Immortality. I'll settle accounts with it all when I return to the Southern Frontier.' Gu Sheng made a decision in an instant, temporarily putting that faint connection out of his mind.

At this moment, the hundreds of martial artists at the Sect Realm, led by three Human King Realm experts, had already approached, forming a semi-circle that surrounded the two of them in this border airspace. The leader, an old man in a green robe, possessed a powerful aura and was clearly a fourth-level Human King Realm expert. His gaze was fixed on Gu Sheng with a sinister look, and his voice was as piercing as a night owl.

"Gu Sheng! It really was you! Our ancestor was truly a master strategist; he knew you were as cunning as a fox and must have faked your death to escape! Today, we will send you on your way!"

Before he finished speaking, the old man in the green robe suddenly erupted with true energy, like a volcanic eruption. He formed a hand seal, and a huge magic seal, radiating a thick, earthy yellow light and carved with the phantom of mountains, instantly condensed. With a terrifying power to suppress everything, it descended upon Gu Sheng! The air hummed under the weight of this magic seal!
"Suppressing the Heavens Seal! Suppress it for me!"

Faced with this terrifying blow that could crush even an ordinary peak-level cultivator into mincemeat, Gu Sheng remained standing still, without even moving a step.

He seemed stunned, until the enormous shadow of the magic seal completely enveloped the sky above him and was about to fall. Only then did he casually raise his right hand and gently point his index finger at the enormous magic seal that was pressing down.

There was no earth-shattering explosion, no dazzling collision of lights.

The instant his fingertips touched the illusory image of the earthen-yellow magic seal—

“Crack…bang!”

The "Mountain-Suppressing Heaven-Turning Seal," which contained the old man in the green robe's immense true energy and was powerful enough to split mountains and shatter rocks, was like an ice block being thrown into a red-hot iron. It emitted a cracking sound from within, unable to bear the weight, and then collapsed with a violent tremor! It turned into countless scattered yellowish-brown light spots and vanished without a trace!
"puff--!"

With his martial arts technique forcibly broken and his energy pulled away, the old man in the green robe was struck as if by a heavy blow. His face turned deathly pale instantly, and he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood. He staggered back several steps in the air, and his gaze toward Gu Sheng was filled with horror and disbelief!
"How is this possible?! You...you're only at the Sect Realm! How could you so easily break my King Realm martial technique?!"

He gasped in shock, his voice trembling.

Gu Sheng flicked his fingers as if he were just brushing away a speck of dust, his tone carrying a hint of sarcasm.

"King-level martial arts? All show and no substance." (End of Chapter)
