Chapter 1309: Chapter 678: What’s Going On? (Part 2)

Gu Sheng handed the Azure Dragon Token to Ling Xiao.

"You deal with it."

Ling Xiao took the Azure Dragon Token. Silver light flickered at her fingertips as she carved several miniature talisman arrays onto the surface of the token.

"Done. At least it can fool any probing below the Earth Palace Realm."

When the first ray of sunlight pierced through the clouds, the two of them had already returned to the temporary cave dwelling on the sheer cliff face.

The cave entrance was concealed by an Illusion Array; from the outside it looked like nothing but an ordinary rock wall.

"Hoo—"

Ling Xiao let out a long breath and collapsed onto the stone bed.

"This night was really damn long."

Gu Sheng set up a few more Guard Arrays at the cave entrance before turning around and walking inside.

"Don’t go out for the next few days. We’ll talk after the commotion dies down."

"When do you plan to leave Qinghe Holy Land?"

Ling Xiao took out a few Elixir Pills and swallowed them. The pallor on her face improved slightly.

Gu Sheng pondered for a moment.

"Another half a month. This time we were lucky; we only ran into some small fry not even worth mentioning."

His eyes were grave.

"If we run into a real expert..."

"I know."

Ling Xiao nodded.

"But we got quite a harvest this time, especially that Holy Infant Grass."

She looked at Gu Sheng.

"Are you planning to use it now?"

Gu Sheng took out a jade box from the Void Ring. After opening it, a stalk of Spirit Grass that was crystal clear and shaped like an infant lay quietly within.

A faint silver light flowed over the surface of the Spirit Grass, and one could vaguely hear tiny infant cries.

"The Second Level of the Nine Dragon Heaven and Earth Technique requires Ultimate Yin Power. Holy Infant Grass is just right."

Expectation flashed in Gu Sheng’s eyes.

"Help me as protector."

Ling Xiao nodded solemnly.

"Don’t worry."

Gu Sheng found a flat spot and sat down cross-legged, placing the jade box before him.

He formed a complicated Seal Technique with both hands in front of his chest.

As the Cultivation Technique circulated, the temperature in the cave began to plummet.

Ling Xiao shivered and hastily circulated Spiritual Power to resist the chill.

He was startled to see Gu Sheng’s breath condense into tiny ice crystals in midair, while the rock surface he sat on was already covered by a thin layer of frost.

"What terrifying Yin Qi..."

Ling Xiao clicked his tongue inwardly and had no choice but to retreat to the deepest part of the cave, laying down several Isolation Arrays at the same time to prevent the cold air from leaking out and drawing attention.

Gu Sheng had already completely immersed himself in cultivation.

The Spiritual Power within his body circulated along the route of the Nine Dragon Heaven and Earth Technique. With each full Circulation, the Yin Qi grew a bit denser.

Thin icicles began to form on the cave ceiling, and frost flowers gradually spread across the ground.

"Now."

Gu Sheng opened his eyes, picked up the Holy Infant Grass, and bit off a leaf without any hesitation.

The leaf melted the instant it entered his mouth, turning into an incomparably icy liquid that slid down his throat.

In that instant, Gu Sheng felt as if he had swallowed an entire ice mountain, frozen from the inside out.

Weird bluish-gray patterns surfaced on his skin, and the blood vessels beneath became clearly visible, taking on a deep blue color.

"Urgh—"

Gu Sheng let out a muffled groan, veins bulging on his forehead.

The power of the Holy Infant Grass rampaged through his body, like tens of thousands of ice needles shuttling through his meridians.

This pain would have been enough to make an ordinary person faint instantly, but Gu Sheng merely clenched his teeth and continued to circulate the Cultivation Technique.

Ling Xiao watched from a distance, eyes full of worry.

He knew how perilous cultivating the Nine Dragon Heaven and Earth Technique was; the slightest misstep and one’s meridians would be completely severed, reduced to a cripple.

This was a process Gu Sheng had to endure.

Time passed second by second. The cold air in the cave had grown dense enough to be visible to the naked eye, coiling around Gu Sheng like a thin mist.

His eyebrows and hair tips were encrusted with ice, making him look like an ice sculpture.

Suddenly, Gu Sheng’s body began to tremble violently, and faint blue blood seeped from his seven orifices.

As soon as that blood flowed out, it immediately congealed into ice beads that fell to the ground with crisp, tinkling sounds.

"Gu Sheng!"

Ling Xiao couldn’t help but cry out, instinctively taking a step forward.

"Don’t come over!"

Gu Sheng forced out a hoarse shout that barely sounded human.

"This is... Yin Qi Tempering Body... I have to... bear it myself..."
