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

He looked at his seemingly naive and clueless apprentice, his mind racing.

'A Primordial Spirit Body… truly astonishing comprehension! I only took her as my disciple because of her special physique, which could help me translate ancient secret techniques. Now it seems I've buried a true gem! I must change my nurturing strategy!'

A grander, yet more risky, plan took shape in his mind. 'If she were to proceed step by step, fusing other Dao bodies at the Yellow Martial, Black Martial, and Earth Martial realms respectively, given the compatibility between her second sea of ​​consciousness and the Daoist essence of the Divine Opening Realm, the strength of the other Dao bodies would inevitably be insufficient to match it. Forced fusion would likely trigger a terrifying backlash upon entering the Heavenly Martial Realm, resulting in the destruction of her Dao and her own death!'

'There are only two paths... One is to let her immerse herself in the Yellow Martial Realm, accumulating experience until her foundation is deep enough, then leap forward to directly challenge the Heavenly Martial Realm. At that time, relying on her solid foundation, she can forge four complete and balanced top-tier Dao Bodies in one go!'

'Secondly... it's about finding those legendary treasures of heaven and earth that can aid in merging with the Dao and balancing the Dao's essence! But such treasures are extremely rare and hard to come by...'

Seeing her master remain silent for a long time, his expression changing, Gu Yuanyuan became increasingly uneasy and asked in a low voice.

"Master...did I do something wrong? Are you...are you going to punish me?"

Gu Sheng snapped out of his daze, looked at his little apprentice's uneasy appearance, softened his tone, and gently patted her head.

“Silly girl, you did nothing wrong. On the contrary, you gave your teacher a wonderful surprise. What I was thinking just now was not about punishment, but about how to ensure that your unique talent is not wasted and that you do not go astray.”

Gu Yuanyuan breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile returned to her face.

Without further hesitation, Gu Sheng immediately used his soul to transmit a name.

Almost the instant his voice transmission ended, the space in the corner of the hall slightly distorted, and an old man dressed in a simple gray robe, with gray hair, a kind face, and eyes as deep as the starry sea, appeared silently as if out of thin air. It was none other than Xia Wuyou, the pillar of the Linglang Pavilion, a seventh-level Venerable Realm expert.

"Young friend Gu, what brings you here?"

Xia Wuyou asked with a smile, but her gaze seemed to casually sweep over Gu Yuanyuan on the futon.

Gu Sheng said directly.

“Elder Xia, I need to go out of the city later to meet Xiao Beixuan in Phoenix Town. I would like to ask Elder Xia to accompany me secretly and keep watch, and not to take action unless necessary. Also,” he pointed to Gu Yuanyuan.

"Please take my disciple with you, so that she can observe this battle from a safe distance."

Upon hearing this, Xia Wuyou's seemingly cloudy old eyes fell on Gu Yuanyuan again. He examined her carefully, and for the first time, a hint of surprise appeared on his face. He stroked his beard and smiled.

"Tsk tsk, you little girl... you're quite interesting."

"I'm actually a little confused? A Yellow Martial Realm cultivation level, yet I vaguely sense something extraordinary about him… Heh, indeed, those who catch young friend Gu's eye are no ordinary people, just like your master, a little prodigy. Alright, I agree to this matter, I will definitely protect your precious disciple."

"Thank you for your help, Elder Xia."

Gu Sheng cupped his hands in greeting, then flipped his hand and took out a jade bottle. Floating inside the bottle was a drop of crimson-gold blood bead, radiating immense life essence and terrifying energy fluctuations—it was the life essence blood of the Golden-Winged Roc!

He handed the jade bottle to Xia Wuyou.

"Elder Xia, thank you for your secret intervention in the Southern Frontier, which stopped the pursuers. I don't like owing favors, so please accept this as a token of my gratitude."

Xia Wuyou's pupils contracted slightly when his gaze fell upon the drop of essence blood. With his keen eyesight, he could naturally sense the astonishing power contained within it! He waved his hand and declined.

"Young friend Gu, you are too kind. As a retainer of the Linlang Pavilion, it is my duty to accept such a generous gift."

Gu Sheng insisted.

"This item is useful to me, but it may extend Elder Xia's life by several decades. Please accept it."

"I only ask that, Elder Xia, if any other Venerable Realm experts in the shadows try to interfere today, please stop them for a moment to buy me time."

Upon hearing the words "extend one's lifespan by several decades," even Xia Wuyou's usually calm and composed mind couldn't help but ripple. For a Venerable of his age, lifespan was the most precious thing.

Seeing Gu Sheng's resolute attitude, and after glancing at the tempting drop of semen, he finally gave a bitter smile and reached out to take it.

"Alright, alright. Since you insist on giving it to me, young friend, I will accept it without hesitation. Rest assured, young friend, unless an old monster at the Heavenly King Realm personally intervenes, no one will be able to interfere with your duel with Xiao Beixuan."

Gu Sheng gave Xia Wuyou a meaningful look, nodded, and said no more.

Gu Yuanyuan stood obediently next to Xia Wuyou, her little face filled with excitement and anticipation.

Just then, faint footsteps echoed from the corridor leading deep into the underground level. Tantai Xueli rubbed her still sleepy eyes and came out, her plain white dress making her look like a snow lotus blooming in the morning mist.

"Are you leaving?"

She looked at Gu Sheng, her voice languid from just waking up.

"Okay, I'll leave right away."

Gu Sheng nodded and said solemnly.

"Xue Li, I entrust my father to you."

Tantai Xueli's expression turned serious, her usually cold eyes regained their clarity, and her tone was filled with absolute confidence.

"rest assured.

As long as he's inside the Linglang Pavilion, unless four or five Venerable Realm experts join forces to attack him, no one can harm him in the slightest. Our Linglang Pavilion has stood strong in the Eastern Wilderness for many years; we still have this much foundation."

Gu Sheng had no doubt about Tantai Xueli's abilities. After thinking for a moment, he added.

"There is one more thing. If Pavilion Master Bingtang returns, please tell her that once I have finished dealing with my current matters, I would like to meet with her and have a chat if I have time."

A subtle, unusual glint flashed in Tantai Xueli's eyes, and she nodded in agreement.

"Okay, I will tell my sister."

Just as Gu Sheng was about to turn and leave, he paused slightly, and a subtle telepathic message was precisely transmitted into Tantai Xueli's ears.

"Xue Li, regarding your and Bing Tang's 'Mysterious Yin Spiritual Body', my spiritual power has been refined again, and perhaps... I have found some clues and can try to resolve the hidden danger of the backlash from the primordial cold energy for the two of you."

Tantai Xueli's delicate body trembled violently, and her beautiful, clear eyes, as cold as an icy pool, widened instantly as she looked at Gu Sheng in disbelief. The Xuan Yin Spiritual Body was the sisters' greatest secret and constraint; the suffering within was something outsiders could never comprehend.

She took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the turmoil in her heart, and replied telepathically with an extremely solemn expression.

"Qingyun, you... are you serious? Do you know about that primordial cold energy..."

Gu Sheng's gaze was calm and resolute as he transmitted his voice.

"I am naturally aware of how difficult it is. That is why we need to start from the origin of the soul and the principles of extreme cold. If you trust me, you will need to completely open your mind and give your full support. Perhaps... there will be a chance to eradicate this stubborn disease in one go."

Eradicate it all at once?!

Tantai Xueli was deeply shaken; those few words were like a thunderbolt from a clear sky! She looked intently at Gu Sheng, seeing only composure and confidence in his eyes, without a trace of falsehood. Although the matter still sounded like a fantasy, for some reason, she felt an almost blind trust in this young man who had repeatedly created miracles.

"I...believe you."

She finally uttered three words softly, her voice light yet carrying immense weight.

Gu Sheng nodded slightly.

"Please also convey this to Pavilion Master Bingtang, so that she is aware of the situation."

……

Half an hour later, Gu Sheng's figure appeared three hundred miles outside of Great Wilderness City, on the outskirts of Phoenix Town. The once bustling border town was now eerily silent. Most of the town's buildings were intact, and the streets were relatively clean.

But looking around, there wasn't a single living creature in sight. Even the usual chirping of birds and insects had vanished, as if the entire town was completely isolated by an invisible shroud, and the air was filled with a chilling sense of oppression and emptiness.

Gu Sheng stopped outside the town, his gaze calmly sweeping over this desolate land.

Just then, a cold, indifferent voice, seemingly devoid of any human emotion, echoed clearly over the empty town, as if from the depths of hell.

"Gu Sheng, you've finally arrived."

His voice paused slightly, carrying a hint of mockery and regret.

"Looking back at the Great Wilderness Holy Academy, I really misjudged you. If I had known you would end up like this, I should have crushed you, you ant, without hesitation, and saved myself all this trouble now."

Gu Sheng remained expressionless, as if he hadn't heard the other party's provocation, and simply said calmly.

"Enough with the nonsense. I'm already here. Where is my father?"

Xiao Beixuan's voice rang out again, carrying a cold indifference that suggested he controlled everything.

"It's very simple. Today, you and I will fight here. If you win, you can take whoever you want. If you lose... then leave your life behind."

Gu Sheng's lips curled into a cold smile.

"can."

Xiao Beixuan keenly sensed something amiss from Gu Sheng's overly calm reaction, and his tone changed slightly.

"It seems... my cheap father-in-law isn't in your hands? You dared to come alone?"

Gu Sheng didn't answer his question, but instead asked him a question in return.

"Huang Batian, did you send him?"

Xiao Beixuan remained noncommittal, his voice carrying a hint of amusement.

"So what if he is? So what if he isn't? It seems he really did die at your hands."

"good."

Gu Sheng readily admitted it.

"Oh?"

Xiao Beixuan raised his voice slightly, seemingly somewhat surprised by Gu Sheng's decisiveness.

"You returned to Great Wilderness City yesterday, but only came today... Are you overconfident in your strength, or do you have something else to rely on? Isn't that... a bit too arrogant?"

Gu Sheng still did not respond to his probing.

Just then, at the top of the tallest tower in the center of the town, a figure in white slowly emerged. Xiao Beixuan stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze piercing through hundreds of feet, like a cold blade, landing on Gu Sheng.

Gu Sheng didn't linger. He took a step forward, and his figure swept past the town's entrance archway, officially entering the territory of Phoenix Town.

He walked slowly toward the town center, speaking as if casually.

"I thought you would lay a trap here, with thousands of troops lying in ambush."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Beixuan scoffed.

"No matter how many ants there are, they are still just ants. Sending them to their deaths is meaningless and only sullies my battlefield."

He changed the subject and pressed for an answer again.

"Gu Sheng, answer me, did you really kill Huang Batian?"

"I have already answered you."

Gu Sheng kept walking.

Xiao Beixuan stared at Gu Sheng's composed figure, a blood-red light flashing in his eyes. A powerful true energy fluctuation began to emanate from his body, and an aura far exceeding the Sect Realm, clearly reaching the Earth King Realm, spread out without any concealment!
"Entering the Earth King Realm for the first time?"

Gu Sheng sensed this aura, but his expression remained unchanged, and a faint sense of disappointment even crossed his mind.

"If this is all you have to rely on, then today's battle is far too boring. Before Huang Batian died, he was able to unleash combat power close to the peak of the Earth King Realm."

"Ah……"

Xiao Beixuan let out a disdainful sneer, and the fluctuations of his true energy became increasingly intense, as if something was awakening within him.

"Huang Batian? He's just a fool who's turned his brain into muscles! He's all brute force, but he doesn't know how to use it! He thinks he's received the Blood Demon Lord's blessing and is living in symbiosis with him, but is he really relying on his laughable body-refining method? He's utterly foolish!"

He opened his arms as if embracing some kind of power, his voice filled with fervor and disdain.

"This young master is worlds apart from him!"

As he finished speaking, the space around him distorted, and a figure, whose aura was weak and whose appearance was exactly the same as Gu Lie, appeared at the top of the tower, bound by a mysterious force.

"Gu Sheng!"

Xiao Beixuan's voice suddenly turned chilling.

"You waited until today to come, did you think this young master wouldn't dare to touch him?!"

boom--!
A far more terrifying and violent aura than before suddenly erupted from Xiao Beixuan's body! Centered on him, a violent gust of wind suddenly arose, causing his robes to flutter wildly and his long hair to dance wildly!

His originally normal true energy was now turning from white to red at a visible speed, becoming viscous and condensed, like boiling blood!
The overwhelming stench of blood instantly permeated the entire Phoenix Town, as if the sky itself was tinged with a faint crimson hue. The earth beneath one's feet faintly echoed with the wails of countless wronged souls. This deathly quiet town seemed to transform into a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood, a slaughterhouse of carnage, in an instant!

This evil, violent, and destructive aura was so strong that even though it was three hundred miles away, some powerful figures in the Great Wilderness City sensed it instantly!

"Such a strong evil aura!"

"It's outside the city! In the direction of Phoenix Town!"

"A heretical cultivator is causing trouble?!"

In an instant, at least dozens of powerful auras soared into the sky within the Great Wilderness City, including many King Realm experts, and even faintly visible Venerable Realm divine senses sweeping across, preparing to investigate.

However, just as these figures were about to set off, an aged, peaceful, yet supremely majestic voice, like a divine decree, slowly echoed from the depths of the "Heavenly City" where the Great Wilderness Holy Academy was located, clearly resonating in the ears of every powerful individual.

"Everyone, stay in your place and do not move without permission."

"The head of the academy has given an order."

"In the battle of Phoenix Town, no one... is allowed to interfere."

The sound seemed to possess some strange magic; the figures that had soared into the sky paused instantly, then quickly withdrew their auras and returned to the city, daring not to make any further moves. (End of Chapter)
