Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World novel Chapter 1281

Chapter 1281: Chapter 664: Expelled from the Holy Land (2)

He secretly assessed it—the amount of Evil Qi for him was just like a breeze.

But outwardly, he still pretended to be impacted, his steps heavy.

"Should be slow enough now."

Gu Sheng calculated the time in his mind, intentionally lingering a while under the guillotine before "struggling" to pass the trial.

When he walked out of the guillotine’s range, he felt more helpless inside—even with the delay, the total time was still too short.

"I must linger in the insight trial awhile."

Gu Sheng made up his mind, casting his gaze towards the final trial.

In front was a massive stone monument reaching a thousand meters, entirely pitch-black with a surface smooth as a mirror.

This was where one must comprehend the Daoist Technique contained within the monument.

"Finally, I can rightfully delay time."

Gu Sheng sat cross-legged in front of the monument, feigning complete concentration.

His Divine Sense entered the monument and immediately sensed a lifeless seed inside it.

The seed emanated a cold aura, the entry-level essence of the Yin Dao Skill.

"So simple?"

Gu Sheng nearly laughed aloud.

The Daoist Technique of this level was practically a child’s play to him.

He originally intended to casually study it then withdraw his Divine Sense, pretending to misunderstand.

Just as his Divine Sense touched the seed, a sudden change occurred!

The previously lifeless seed began to tremble, with fine cracks appearing on its surface.

With a jump in his heart, Gu Sheng hurriedly tried to withdraw his Divine Sense but it was too late.

Crack—

A crisp sound of breaking echoed in the Sea of Consciousness, the seed completely split open, and a tender shoot emerged, bursting into dazzling white light!

"This is bad!"

Gu Sheng was frightened.

The white light shot skyward, instantly illuminating the entire assessment space.

The ground began to tremble violently, the monument’s surface revealed countless cracks.

Before Gu Sheng could react, a powerful repulsive force pushed him out of the monument’s range.

Boom!

Gu Sheng staggered out of the insight trial and the scene before him quickly changed.

In the blink of an eye, he was back outside the assessment arena, surrounded by a dense crowd of observing cultivators.

The entire venue was silent, everyone staring at him in shock.

Gu Sheng felt a headache—things had gone out of control.

Hum—

In the sky, a massive leaderboard suddenly lit up brightly, with all the names starting to shift fiercely.

A Light Screen directly projected into Gu Sheng’s Sea of Consciousness, awaiting him to write down his name.

Sigh...

Gu Sheng reluctantly wrote the words "Qing Feng" on the Light Screen.

As soon as "Qing Feng" appeared, it immediately burst into dazzling green light, shooting to the top of the leaderboard, forcibly pushing "Ling Xiao" from first to second place!

One hundred and ten breaths...

Someone trembled as they read Gu Sheng’s score, their voice full of disbelief.

The venue was eerily silent, everyone too shocked by the score to speak.

This...this can’t be happening?

Faster than Senior Brother?

Monster! He’s simply a monster!

Whispers began to rise, quickly turning into an uproar.

The disciples of Qinghe Holy Land couldn’t sit still, whispering with grim faces.

Senior Brother is a once-in-a-century genius of our Holy Land!

Who exactly is this Qing Feng?

Could the assessment array have malfunctioned?

Gu Sheng felt the surrounding eyes, either shocked or suspicious, inwardly lamenting.

He wanted to act low-key, but ended up being the focus of attention.

At this moment, a familiar voice sounded in his ear, noticeably displeased.

Gu Sheng! What are you up to? I thought we agreed to keep a low profile?

Without needing to look back, Gu Sheng knew it was Ling Xiao’s voice.

He replied bitterly.

This was an accident...I didn’t expect the seed to suddenly sprout...

Accident?

Ling Xiao’s voice raised.

Do you realize now all eyes are on you? Liang Yu’s gaze towards you seems off!
