Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World novel Chapter 1342

Chapter 1342: Chapter 695: The Curse

Gu Sheng nodded, and the two quickened their pace. Passing through the last sand dune, a clear stream appeared before them.

The stream babbled, with vibrant greenery on both banks, starkly contrasting the dead silent desert behind.

Ling Xiao eagerly dashed to the stream, scooping up water to drink heartily.

"Refreshing!"

Gu Sheng vigilantly scanned the surroundings, and only after confirming safety did he squat down.

The cool, sweet stream water washed away the dust from his throat. His tense nerves, stretched for days, finally relaxed.

"We have already left the sphere of influence of Qinghe Holy Land."

Ling Xiao lay on the grass face up, letting out a long sigh of relief.

"Ahead lies the mountain range of the Purple Mist Sacred Land."

Gu Sheng gazed at the majestic distant mountains, partially hidden by swirling mists.

"The Descending Immortal Realm lies deep within that mountain range."

"It is one of the top ten cultivation sanctuaries."

Ling Xiao sat up, with desire gleaming in his eyes.

"But it is tightly controlled by the Purple Mist Sacred Land, making it hard for outsiders to enter."

Gu Sheng took out a bead as red as fire from his bosom, glowing brilliantly under the sun.

"That’s why we need more power."

Ling Xiao’s pupils contracted.

"The Heavenly Fire Red Lotus Pearl! Are you planning to refine it now?"

"Indeed."

Gu Sheng put away the Treasure Bead, standing up.

"Let’s find a safe place first."

The two followed the stream upstream, soon entering a primordial mountain range.

Ancient trees blocked out the sky, occasionally a Demon Beast’s roar echoed from within.

"Roar—" A Three-eyed Demon Wolf leapt out of the bushes, its fangs gleaming fiercely.

Gu Sheng didn’t even look, casually waving his hand. Sword Qi slashed, cutting the demon wolf in half mid-air, its blood splattering everywhere.

"Even this trash dares to court death."

Ling Xiao chuckled scornfully, kicking aside the wolf’s carcass blocking the way.

Soon, they found a concealed cave under a cliff.

The entrance was obscured by vines, hard to notice without careful searching.

"This is it."

Gu Sheng parted the vines, stepping in first.

Inside, the cave was dry and spacious, with a flat floor, clearly once a Demon Beast’s nest.

Gu Sheng inspected around, confirming there were no dangers, then sat cross-legged in the center.

"You protect."

He said to Ling Xiao, then closed his eyes to meditate.

Ling Xiao nodded, setting up several alert restrictions at the entrance before retreating to the side.

Gu Sheng activated the Nine Dragon Heaven and Earth Technique, the spiritual power inside him surged like a river.

A faint golden light emerged around him, with nine dragon-shaped shadows faintly appearing behind him.

The expended spiritual power quickly recovered, taking less than an hour for him to return to peak condition.

"Abnormal recovery speed..."

Ling Xiao muttered enviously.

Gu Sheng opened his eyes, retrieving the Heavenly Fire Red Lotus Pearl from the Void Ring.

The moment the bead appeared, the cave’s temperature spiked, air distorted.

Ling Xiao immediately felt suffocated, as if inside a furnace.

"This Yang Qi... even more terrifying than at Golden Crow Mountain!"
