Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World novel Chapter 1293

Chapter 1293: Chapter 671: Arrangements Are Already Made

"What colors correspond to what levels?"

Ling Xiao asked with great interest.

Su Yongchang explained.

"Black is the worst, for Outer Disciples; blue is better, allowing entry to the Inner Sect; green is the strongest, directly qualifying one as a Core Disciple."

Gu Sheng listened, and suddenly a wave of unease rose in his heart.

He subconsciously touched his chest, where he hid a Jade Scroll given to him by Ling Xiao, recording an Ancient Secret Technique that could conceal part of his talent traits.

But facing this legendary "Ancient Eye," he suddenly felt uncertain.

"What’s the matter?"

Ling Xiao noticed Gu Sheng’s expression and asked through a transmission of consciousness.

Gu Sheng frowned slightly.

"This Ancient Eye... can your secret technique deceive it?"

Ling Xiao’s eyes flickered for a moment, avoiding Gu Sheng’s gaze.

"It... it should be able to."

Gu Sheng’s heart sank.

Ling Xiao’s reaction made him even more uneasy.

He knew this companion too well; every time he felt guilty, he would dodge his gaze like this.

The hall was filled with green light, like the aurora drifting at the edge of the universe, casting the entire space into a dreamlike illusion.

The light contained an indescribable sense of antiquity, as if it had traveled through endless ages, continuing from the ancient times to the present.

Gu Sheng stood among the crowd, feeling the ancient pressure rushing towards him, cold sweat already seeping from his back.

He stared intently at the giant floating eyeball in the center of the hall—it was as large as a millstone, with a pupil of a bizarre grey-green, slowly opening and closing, making an eerie creaking sound with each blink, like a decaying door hinge turning.

"Ugh—"

The eyeball suddenly emitted a shrill wail, sounding like thousands of vengeful spirits crying simultaneously.

Gu Sheng felt his heart contract suddenly, an uncontrollable sadness welling up from his heart, almost making him cry on the spot.

He hurriedly operated the secret technique taught by Ling Xiao, forcibly suppressing this strange emotion.

"This damn thing..."

Gu Sheng cursed inwardly, glancing at Ling Xiao beside him out of the corner of his eye.

Ling Xiao’s expression was normal, but Gu Sheng noticed his fingers by his side were trembling slightly.

The two exchanged a brief glance, both seeing deep unease in each other’s eyes.

"Senior Brother, this eyeball..."

Gu Sheng sent a message through the secret technique.

"The Ancient Eye, the treasure of Qinghe Holy Land."

Ling Xiao’s response was quick, but his tone was frighteningly heavy.

"Legend has it, it can see through all illusions, penetrating the true nature of a cultivator. I didn’t expect them to use it to test new disciples..."

Gu Sheng’s heart tightened.

"Then our disguise..."

"Not necessarily."

Ling Xiao paused his transmission.

"But the risk is enormous. Once we are discovered, we face the wrath of the entire Qinghe Holy Land."

Gu Sheng’s Adam’s apple moved, swallowing hard.

He looked around, seeing dozens of Holy Land Disciples in green robes standing in the hall, each emitting an unfathomable aura.

Not to mention the hidden old monsters...

"Isn’t there any other way?"

Gu Sheng asked unwillingly.

Ling Xiao was silent for a moment, his transmission filled with helplessness.

"This is their headquarters, we... have no chance."

As the two communicated secretly, Su Yongchang, standing at the front, suddenly turned around.

Gu Sheng’s heart skipped a beat, quickly restraining his mind.

But Su Yongchang merely glanced at him, his eyes lingering on his blood-stained clothes for a moment, without saying much.

"Gu."

Su Yongchang spoke warmly.

"The bloodstains on your clothes..."

It was only then Gu Sheng noticed that his robe was stained with a large amount of blood from the previous competition, already dried into a dark red.

He hurriedly cupped his hands.

"Senior, I..."

"No need to explain."

Su Yongchang waved his hand, taking out a new green robe from his Storage Bag and handing it to him.

"Put it on, the test is about to begin."

Gu Sheng took the clothes, thanked him, and quickly changed.

The new garment was made of soft fabric, cold to the touch, clearly not ordinary.

He noticed small runes embroidered on the collar, faintly visible under the green light.
