Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World novel Chapter 1343

Chapter 1343: Chapter 695: Curse (Part 2)

As he rushed out of the cave, a deafening explosion sounded behind him. A red beam of light pierced through the mountain, shooting straight into the sky!

"Gu Sheng!"

Ling Xiao was thrown dozens of yards by the shockwave, crashing heavily into the forest.

Ignoring the excruciating pain all over his body, he struggled to get up.

"Boom——"

The crimson wave from the Heavenly Fire Red Lotus Pearl cut the entire mountain in half, spewing out lava-like liquid. Wherever it passed, the air congealed into crimson glass, which shattered into a rain of fire the next moment.

The Yang Qi sealed in the pearl transformed into the shadow of a Three-legged Golden Crow, spreading its wings and screeching, burning the surrounding ten-mile Cloud Sea into a scarlet vortex.

"Gu Sheng!"

Ling Xiao was thrown hundreds of yards by the shockwave, breaking several ancient trees before finally stopping.

He spat out a mouthful of blood, not bothering to wipe it away, his eyes fixed on the destructive crimson storm.

The Heavenly Fire Red Lotus Pearl was breaking free and transforming into a streak of red light, escaping to the horizon!

"I can’t let it get away!"

Ling Xiao gritted his teeth and forced himself to stand, but froze the moment he took a step — Gu Sheng’s life or death was uncertain, should he save him first or chase the pearl?

At that critical moment, a bronze-colored beam suddenly shot into the sky from the collapsed mountain!

"Dang——"

The ancient bell sound echoed through the clouds, causing ripples to spread through the space.

Ling Xiao’s eyes widened, only to see an Ancient Bronze Bell break through the fire waves above Gu Sheng’s head.

His hair was disheveled, his body scorched black, yet he exuded an ancient aura that struck fear into the heart, like a War God walking from primordial times.

"Ancient Reincarnation Bell?!"

Ling Xiao gasped in shock.

Gu Sheng stepped on the void, each step causing the surrounding space to slightly distort.

He was incredibly fast, catching up to the fleeing Heavenly Fire Red Lotus Pearl in the blink of an eye.

"Suppress!"

The Ancient Bronze Bell crashed down, enveloping the crimson Pearl within.

Numerous ancient runes appeared on the bell’s surface, violently clashing with the Yang Qi in the Pearl, creating deafening booms.

The Golden Crow shadow struggled desperately but could not break through the bell’s seal.

"Behave!"

Gu Sheng formed a sealing hand sign, and nine Spiritual Power Golden Dragons flew out from within him, wrapping around the surface of the bell.

The struggle of the Heavenly Fire Red Lotus Pearl gradually weakened, eventually calming down.

Only then dared Ling Xiao approach, discovering that although Gu Sheng’s aura was strong, he was covered in injuries.

"Are you okay?"

"Still alive."

Gu Sheng grinned, revealing his teeth.

He gestured with his hand, and the Ancient Reincarnation Bell rapidly shrank, flying back to his palm.

Inside, the Heavenly Fire Red Lotus Pearl floated quietly, devoid of its previous violent nature.

Ling Xiao suddenly frowned.

"Something’s not right, the Reincarnation Bell’s aura is..."

At this moment, the Ancient Reincarnation Bell, originally antiquated and heavy, was now mixed with intense Yang Qi, with several crimson lines appearing on its surface, as if scorched by flames.

Gu Sheng’s gaze was serious.

"To withstand the outbreak of the Heavenly Fire Red Lotus Pearl, the Reincarnation Bell bore most of the impact, causing the second seal to loosen."

"The second seal?"

Ling Xiao keenly picked up on this information.

"How many seals are on this bell?"

"I’m not sure."

Gu Sheng shook his head.

"But now’s not the time to study this."

He took out the Void Ring, storing the Heavenly Fire Red Lotus Pearl within, and after checking the condition of the Reincarnation Bell to ensure its temporary stability, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Ling Xiao looked at the surrounding forest, leveled to the ground, with lingering fear.

"Almost lost your life refining a Pearl, was it worth it?"

Gu Sheng’s eyes gleamed.

"It was worth it."

He clenched his fist, a wisp of crimson flame escaping from between his fingers.

"Now I can roughly control the power of the Heavenly Fire Red Lotus Pearl, giving me the strength to contend with those at the peak of the Heavenly Palace.

Ling Xiao sucked in a cold breath.

It’s important to know that even in the Purple Mist Sacred Land, cultivators at the Earth Palace Stage are of elder level.

"Let’s go."

Gu Sheng put away the Reincarnation Bell and changed into a clean robe.

"To Five Mountains City."

...

Three days later, at the west gate of Five Mountains City.

Two cultivators, weary from travel, lined up in the queue to enter the city.

The taller one’s face was sallow, while the shorter one had a scar on his face, both at the early stage of the Earth Palace Realm, unremarkable in the crowd.

"Old Huang, do you think this Five Mountains City is really that lively?"

The shorter cultivator asked with a heavy accent.

The taller cultivator chuckled.

"Absolutely! I’ve heard that the Immortal Masters from Purple Mist Sacred Land often come here to purchase spiritual materials. With a bit of luck, you might even encounter them recruiting disciples!"

The gatekeeper cultivator glanced at their Identity Jade and waved impatiently for them to move along.
