Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World novel Chapter 1297

Chapter 1297: Chapter 672: Someone Is Coming (2)

Gu Sheng could feel the spiritual power within him slowly increasing. This cultivation speed was at least three times faster than outside!

"No wonder everyone wants to come to Xuanming Divine Mountain to cultivate..."

Gu Sheng pondered, becoming more puzzled about Daoist Yong’an’s intentions for giving them this opportunity.

Logically, Qinghe Holy Land has no ties with them, so why be so generous?

"Crack—"

Gu Sheng’s boots stepped on the soft soil of Xuanming Divine Mountain, making a crisp cracking sound, as if crushing the bones of some creature.

He furrowed his brow and looked down, only to see the soil faintly mixed with fine crystals, glowing a strange blue under the moonlight.

"This place is truly eerie."

Ling Xiao followed behind, his footsteps much heavier, completely overshadowing Gu Sheng’s sounds.

"Even the soil seems peculiar."

Gu Sheng didn’t respond, but continued to move forward more cautiously.

Only the occasional moonlight filtering through gaps in the clouds illuminated their path ahead.

"Let’s find a place to rest."

Gu Sheng finally spoke, his voice very low.

"This mountain isn’t peaceful, moving at night is too dangerous."

Ling Xiao, for once, didn’t argue, just nodded.

The two groped forward in the darkness.

Gu Sheng’s five senses were fully alert, vigilant of any movement around them.

He could feel something in the darkness watching them, the feeling like needles on his back.

Suddenly, Gu Sheng stopped and abruptly looked toward the mountain peak.

"What’s wrong?"

Ling Xiao asked nervously.

Gu Sheng didn’t answer, just stared intently at the dark night.

As Ling Xiao was about to ask again, a piercing white light suddenly sliced through the clouds.

The whole sky seemed to split open, the dark clouds receding to the sides, and white light poured down.

"This...this is..."

Ling Xiao was stunned.

Where the white light reached, Yin Qi retreated.

Only then did Gu Sheng realize they were still at the mountain’s foot, far from the real path up.

More chilling was the sight of several pairs of eerie green eyes closing sharply when the white light appeared, accompanied by a few discontented hisses, turning into black shadows and dissipating in the air.

"What were those things?"

Ling Xiao’s voice trembled.

Gu Sheng shook his head.

"Not sure, but they clearly dislike the white light."

He glanced around and suddenly his eyes lit up.

"Look over there, there’s a cave!"

Less than a hundred steps away, a cave entrance half hidden behind the rock wall loomed faintly.

The two exchanged a glance and cautiously approached. The cave’s entrance wasn’t large, but big enough for a person to stoop and enter.

The most delightful surprise was that the entrance had a mottled stone door, though half open, it was evidently closable.

"Lucky us!"

Ling Xiao exclaimed excitedly and was about to rush in.

Gu Sheng pulled him back.

"Wait!"

He picked up a stone from the ground and threw it into the cave with force.

The stone landed with a crisp sound, but otherwise there was no anomaly.

Only then did Gu Sheng nod.

"It should be safe."

The two entered the cave and found the interior much more spacious than expected, about three zhang by square.

The cave ceiling had several naturally formed holes, allowing white sunlight to stream in, illuminating the entire space.

What delighted Gu Sheng the most was the intricate patterns engraved on the stone door’s inside, clearly some kind of array.

"Is this...an isolation array?"

Gu Sheng stroked the patterns on the stone door, sensing the spiritual power fluctuations contained within.

Ling Xiao also crowded over to examine.

"Seems like it has defensive functions too. We’ve found treasure!"

Gu Sheng tried pushing the stone door, discovering that although it was heavy, they could move it with their strength.

As the stone door slowly closed, the light inside didn’t dim, but instead became brighter and more comfortable due to the array’s activation.

"With the cultivation techniques Daoist Yong’an gave us, we can now cultivate in peace."

Gu Sheng exhaled deeply, sitting cross-legged in the cave’s center.
