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

His voice carried a hint of weariness, but more so a deep sense of authority.

Having said that, he said no more and went straight to the deepest part of the quiet room, found a futon, sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes, focused his mind, and began to fully adapt to and control the powerful spiritual energy that had been condensed twice and become extremely turbulent and dense.

Gu Yuanyuan and Qi Diaoyao exchanged a glance, both seeing shock and awe in each other's eyes.

Not daring to disturb them, they carefully retreated to the other side of the quiet room, even their breathing became much softer.

In the latter half of the night, the space inside the quiet room rippled slightly, and a pale silver figure appeared silently—it was Fan Qingcheng, who had returned.

She looked travel-worn, but her eyes were bright, clearly indicating that she had safely delivered the Grade Three Mind-Clearing Pill.

Seeing that Gu Sheng and the other two were all in a state of cultivation or meditation, she did not disturb them. Instead, she quietly walked to the side and found a place to sit down.

Her gaze fell on Gu Yuanyuan, whose cultivation level was the lowest. Seeing that Gu Yuanyuan was trying her best to absorb spiritual energy to consolidate her realm, she quietly circulated her cultivation technique. With her Venerable Realm cultivation, she silently drew in and gathered the purer spiritual energy of heaven and earth around her, and slowly transferred it to Gu Yuanyuan to help her.

……

The following morning, as the sun rose, it gilded the city of Meteor Moon with a golden hue.

Gu Sheng and his group arrived at the largest teleportation array in the city, which was specifically used to cross the border between the Eastern Wilderness and the Central Continent.

After a night of adjustment, the unsettling sense of illusion surrounding Gu Sheng had vanished, his aura was completely contained, and he appeared no different from usual. However, his eyes seemed to have become even more profound, and occasionally, when they opened and closed, a sharp glint would flash across them, making it impossible to look directly at them.

To Gu Sheng's surprise, in front of the teleportation array, besides them and Su Rui and the others who were leading the way, there was another familiar figure.

Tantai Xuefei also came.

She changed out of the tattered children's clothes from yesterday and put on a well-tailored, bright red outfit that accentuated her slender figure, perfectly showcasing the youthful vitality and budding curves of a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl.

She tied her fiery red hair into a neat high ponytail, her face radiant with a bright and flamboyant smile. She was like a red rose blooming in the morning sun, full of energy and dazzling. Gone was the child she was yesterday; she had grown into a graceful and powerful young woman.

"How did you come?"

Gu Sheng looked at her as she approached and asked with some surprise.

Tantai Xuefei stood with her hands behind her back, tilted her head slightly, and looked at him with a smile, her voice clear and melodious.

"Why can't I come? When I first came to this Eastern Wilderness Meteor Moon City, it was ostensibly to oversee things, but in reality, it was to avoid trouble and recuperate."

Thanks to you, I have not only fully recovered from my injuries but have also returned to the Venerable Realm. Naturally, I must return to Zhongzhou! What, does Grand Pavilion Master Gu not welcome me traveling with you?

She paused, blinked, and looked at him with a sly smile.

"Besides, you've helped me so much, I should find a way to repay you, right? The journey to Zhongzhou is long, and who knows, I might need your help someday? Consider this a way of repaying your kindness along the way!"

Looking at her bright smile and the lively confidence in the depths of her eyes that was so different from yesterday, Gu Sheng sighed helplessly.

He really didn't like trouble, and the Tantai family genius in front of him, who had regained his strength, seemed like someone who would cause trouble.

But the other party had a valid reason and their attitude made it hard to refuse.

"As you wish."

Gu Sheng finally nodded.

"But after you left, this Linlang Pavilion in Fallen Moon City..."

"calm down!"

Tantai Xuefei waved her hand dismissively, interrupting him.

"With Su Rui around, daily affairs won't go wrong. As for security? Hmph, that Meteor Moon King is just a third-level Earth King Realm cultivator. Even if he had ten times the courage, he wouldn't dare to touch the slightest thing in my Linlang Pavilion! Unless he's tired of living!"

Her words were filled with absolute confidence and the pride of an ancient family.

Seeing her so determined, Gu Sheng said nothing more. The group, escorted by Su Rui and the others, then stepped into the enormous teleportation array, whose light gradually began to illuminate.

Just as Gu Sheng and his group were about to step into the teleportation array, a gentle voice came from behind them.

"Young Master Gu, Miss Xuefei, please wait."

Everyone turned to look and saw a middle-aged man dressed in a moon-white robe, with a handsome face and a scholarly air, who had appeared not far away and was smiling at them. This man had a restrained aura and seemed peaceful, but the pressure he exuded indicated that he was no ordinary person. He was none other than the nominal ruler of Fallen Moon City—the Fallen Moon King.

The King of the Fallen Moon quickly walked over and bowed to Gu Sheng and Tantai Xuefei with a humble posture and a very sincere tone.

“Young Master Gu, Miss Xuefei, although I am respectfully called ‘King of the Fallen Moon’ by the people of the city, I know my own limitations. The Linlang Pavilion is a behemoth, and the Tantai family is even more unfathomable. How could I be so presumptuous as to do something that would lead me to my death? I heard that you two are about to leave today, so I have come to see you off and express my gratitude.”

Gu Sheng calmly observed him. With his powerful spiritual energy after its second refinement, he vaguely sensed that the aura of this Fallen Moon King was not as simple as the newly entered third level of the Earth King Realm. It seemed that he was hiding something, but his attitude was indeed quite respectful and he had no malice.

Tantai Xuefei crossed her arms and looked at the Moon King. A hint of understanding flashed in her deep and bright eyes. She gave a soft hum and spoke.

"You're quite sensible. Fine, considering you've been relatively well-behaved all these years and have shown goodwill towards Linlang Pavilion, I'll show you the way."

Upon hearing this, King Meteor Moon perked up and immediately bowed.

"Please enlighten me, Miss Xuefei!"

Tantai Xuefei said calmly.

"After I leave, you will be registered as an honorary head of the Linlang Pavilion. To the outside world, you will still be the King of the Fallen Moon. To the inside world, you must be loyal to the Linlang Pavilion for three years. If you perform well within three years, the Tantai family can guarantee that you... at least reach the Heavenly King Realm."

Upon hearing this, King Meteor Moon was first stunned, then his face lit up with wild joy! Heavenly King Realm! This was the realm he had dreamed of but could never attain!

He had been stuck in the Earth King Realm for a long time and knew that without a great opportunity or the support of a powerful force, he would probably never be able to cross this insurmountable barrier in his lifetime! He immediately bowed deeply to the bottom, his voice trembling with excitement.

"Thank you for your guidance, Miss Xuefei! I, Su Yue, will do my utmost to serve Linlang Pavilion with unwavering loyalty!"

He wisely refrained from disturbing them further, bowed again, and then respectfully stepped aside to watch them leave, his face beaming with barely suppressed excitement.

Gu Sheng raised an eyebrow and looked at Tantai Xuefei, his eyes filled with a question.

Tantai Xuefei gave him a sly smile and explained telepathically, "This guy is hiding his true strength. His actual cultivation level is probably close to the peak of the Earth King Realm, but he's been stuck at a bottleneck."

He has managed Meteor Moon City well over the years, and has consistently shown goodwill towards the Linlang Pavilion, demonstrating a keen understanding of propriety. Sister Bingtang previously stated that if I leave, this man is a valuable asset. Rather than sending others to scheme against him later, it's better to recruit him now, saving time and effort.”

Upon hearing this, Gu Sheng nodded, approving of her approach.

This is indeed the easiest and most effective method.

With the trivial matters settled, the group lingered without further delay.

Gu Sheng took the lead, steadily stepping into the massive teleportation array that shimmered with light and was covered in runes. Tantai Xuefei, Gu Yuanyuan, Qi Diao Yaoyao, and Fan Qingcheng followed closely behind, entering in turn.

"Stand firm, and do not resist the power of the formation."

Fan Qing's clear and cold voice rang out, and the pale silver Venerable Realm true energy around her circulated, transforming into a soft light shield that enveloped everyone to deal with any spatial fluctuations that might occur during the teleportation process.

Tantai Xuefei also said with a smile.

"Don't worry, I'm a Venerable Realm cultivator now, so I have plenty of true energy!"

As she spoke, her body emanated a blazing and vigorous true energy, which merged with Fan Qingcheng's light shield, making the protection even more solid.

Upon seeing this, the cultivators from the Linlang Pavilion who were in charge of controlling the array immediately cast a series of spells to activate this costly inter-domain teleportation array.

“Buzz——!!!”

In an instant, the entire magic array erupted with a dazzling white beam of light that shot straight into the sky, its immense power drawing countless people in Meteor Moon City to look up and discuss it.

The bright light lasted for several breaths before suddenly disappearing.

Meanwhile, Gu Sheng and the others in the formation felt as if they were enveloped by a powerful spatial force, and the scene before their eyes instantly blurred and distorted. After the uncomfortable feeling of weightlessness and dizziness subsided, they found themselves in a strange place.

The surrounding scenery was not familiar, but a huge "tunnel" that seemed to be made of countless shimmering, ever-twisting and fluctuating energies! Beyond the tunnel walls was a deep, chaotic void filled with an aura of destruction, with shattered stars and distorted light and shadows faintly visible.

They were currently protected by an elliptical light shield formed by the power of the teleportation array, and were traveling forward at an incredible speed within this strange "space tunnel".

"Wow! Is this a space tunnel? How amazing!"

Gu Yuanyuan opened her eyes wide, looking at the bizarre and wonderful scene outside the tunnel with great curiosity.

Qi Diao Yaoyao also gripped Gu Yuanyuan's sleeve tightly, her little face showing both nervousness and excitement. It was her first time experiencing such a long-distance teleportation.

Fan Qingcheng glanced at Gu Sheng with some surprise. Seeing his calm expression, as if he were familiar with the scene before him, she couldn't help but ask.

"Young Master Gu doesn't seem surprised by the space tunnel?"

Before Gu Sheng could answer, Tantai Xuefei, who was standing to the side, curled her lip and said with a hint of disdain.

"What's so surprising about that? It's just standard procedure when crossing state borders. Sister Fan, you underestimate me."

Upon hearing this, Fan Qingcheng said no more and simply maintained his protective aura.

Protected by the power of the great formation, the group swiftly traversed the dazzling yet dangerous spatial tunnel. After about fifteen minutes, a continuously expanding point of light appeared at the end of the tunnel ahead.

Immediately afterwards, the oval-shaped light shield enveloping them accelerated sharply and plunged headlong into the point of light!
A blinding white light once again enveloped everyone's vision, even more dazzling than when it was started.

As the white light gradually faded, the feeling of solid ground came through, and at the same time, what surged into my ears was a clamor as turbulent and energetic as the ocean tide!
Everyone looked closely and saw a vast city, far more prosperous and powerful than they had ever imagined, standing before them!

The wide streets, wide enough to accommodate dozens of carriages side by side, are lined with tall buildings of various styles, with carved beams and painted rafters, flying eaves and brackets, exuding an atmosphere of antiquity and luxury.

The streets were teeming with people, shoulder to shoulder, with cultivators, merchants, and mortals of all kinds moving about. Their auras varied in strength, but they all carried a unique confidence and vitality belonging to the Central Plains.

Occasionally, magnificent flying boats or cultivators riding strange beasts would fly by in the sky, leaving behind streaks of light.

The prosperity here is no less than that of the most central area of ​​the Great Wilderness City, and in some details, it even shows a deeper cultural heritage!

"The spiritual energy here... is so rich! So pure!"

Gu Yuanyuan took a deep breath, her little face filled with shock.

She possesses a Primordial Spirit Body, making her most sensitive to the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. She clearly senses that the concentration and quality of spiritual energy in this place far surpasses that of the Eastern Wilderness.

Qi Diao Yaoyao nodded vigorously. Although she did not cultivate spiritual energy and mainly cultivated Gu techniques, she could still feel the abundant energy in the surrounding environment, which made the Gu in her body ripple with pleasure.

However, their novel and somewhat intriguing behavior upon their arrival drew discordant voices.

"Tch—where did this bumpkin come from? Making such a fuss about the basic spiritual energy concentration in Zhongzhou, it's hilarious!"

A sarcastic, mocking voice came from the side.

Everyone turned to look and saw a young nobleman dressed in a magnificent brocade robe, his face somewhat pale and weak, leaning on a jewel-encrusted cane, surrounded by a group of guards with considerable presence, glancing sideways at them.

This young master's legs were severed from the knees down, and he could only stand with the aid of crutches.

His gaze swept over Gu Sheng and his group, lingering for a moment on the stunningly beautiful Tantai Xuefei and the ethereal Fan Qingcheng. A lewd glint flashed in his eyes, but more than anything, it was a condescending disdain.

Gu Sheng frowned slightly.

Standing beside Gu Sheng, Qi Diao Yaoyao's eyes instantly turned cold. She quietly raised her palm, and purple energy surged in her palm. It was not the light of martial arts condensed from true energy, but a terrifying power composed of thousands of tiny, dust-like, and invisible strange Gu worms!
The young master with the broken leg was completely unaware of the approaching danger. Instead, he became even more smug, pointed at Gu Sheng and his group with his cane, and shouted loudly to the guards beside him.

"See that? These are bumpkins from those backwaters, never seen the world! I'm in a good mood today, so I'll teach you how to behave properly in the Central Plains!"

Before he finished speaking, Tantai Xuefei suddenly stepped forward and slammed the ornate cane to the ground with a thud.

She didn't speak, but her eyes, which had been smiling, suddenly turned icy cold.

The next moment, a terrifying pressure, as vast as the sea and as heavy as a mountain, erupted from her seemingly delicate body without reservation! Like an invisible storm, it instantly swept across an area of ​​dozens of feet in radius!
Venerable Realm! The powerful aura of a First-Stage Venerable! (End of Chapter)
