Quickly, he arrived at the place where Ling Xiao was cultivating.
Ling Xiao remained seated cross-legged in his original spot, with a golden alms bowl floating above his head, emitting a gentle light that enveloped him.
His expression was calm, clearly still immersed in deep cultivation.
"Ling Xiao! Wake up!"
Gu Sheng called softly, while cautiously observing the surroundings.
"Wake up, quickly!"
Gu Sheng lowered his voice to call, but the young man sitting in the golden light canopy remained motionless, his eyelids not even fluttering.
A faint golden halo surrounded Ling Xiao, with an ancient golden alms bowl slowly spinning above, emanating a heart-pounding pressure.
Gu Sheng knew this was Ling Xiao’s protective dharma treasure, currently operating at full power to help its owner absorb the purest Sun Essence from the depths of Golden Crow Mountain.
"Damn, he entered the deep state of Golden Sun Body."
Gu Sheng gritted his teeth, anxiety in his eyes.
He glanced around; the scorching air in the cave was distorting his vision, and faint sounds of rocks cracking came from afar.
Time was running out.
Determination filled Gu Sheng’s eyes.
He formed a seal with his right hand, a blue light coalescing at his fingertips, then decisively slapped toward the golden alms bowl above Ling Xiao’s head.
"Bang!"
The golden alms bowl shook violently, producing a clear ringing sound.
The golden halo surrounding Ling Xiao instantly became disordered.
The young man sitting cross-legged suddenly opened his eyes, his pupils flashing with golden light before turning angrily red.
"Who?!"
Ling Xiao yelled angrily, his voice echoing in the cave, shaking dust from the rock walls.
Gu Sheng hastily stepped forward, lowering his voice.
"It’s me! Don’t speak loudly!"
Realizing who it was, Ling Xiao’s anger subsided a bit, but his brow remained furrowed.
"Gu Sheng? Are you crazy? Interrupting my cultivation? Do you know how much it cost me to enter the Golden Sun Body state?"
His voice was lowered, but the anger was undiminished.
Gu Sheng could feel Ling Xiao’s spiritual power surging within him, a consequence of being forcibly interrupted in cultivation.
"The situation is urgent, I had no choice."
Gu Sheng quickly said, while vigilantly surveying the surroundings.
"We have to leave immediately."
Ling Xiao sneered.
"Just because you say it’s urgent, you ruined my hard cultivation?"
He stood up, the golden alms bowl automatically shrank into his palm.
"Do you know how rare Golden Crow Mountain’s cultivation opportunity is!"
Gu Sheng’s forehead veins throbbed as he suppressed his impatience.
"I targeted your magical treasure, not directly interrupting your meridian operation, minimizing the harm."
"Ha, sounds like I should be thanking you."
Suspicion showed in Ling Xiao’s eyes.
"Could it be you’re afraid I’ll surpass your cultivation and deliberately ruin my progress?"
