Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World novel Chapter 1381

Chapter 1381: Chapter 714: Extra Vigilance (Part 2)

The dense Spiritual Energy surged into the body like a tide, even with tens of thousands of Martial Artists absorbing simultaneously, the cultivation speed was still far beyond normal days.

Gu Sheng could feel that he was not far from making a breakthrough.

Time passed, and four days flew by in the blink of an eye.

On this night, Gu Sheng’s body suddenly emitted a crisp explosion sound, and the aura around him dramatically surged.

He abruptly opened his eyes, gleaming with brilliance.

"Yellow Martial Realm Ninth Layer!"

Gu Sheng clenched his fist, feeling the surging power within him.

He inspected his Dantian internally, only to see the originally mist-like True Qi already condensed like water, flowing incessantly in his meridians. Just one step away from the Xuanwu Realm.

"Emperor Sect Secret Technique requires Xuanwu Realm to perform..."

Gu Sheng murmured to himself, his gaze landing on the Storage Ring on his finger. This was given by Tantai Xueling when she departed, containing abundant Spirit Stones, sufficient to support his charge to Fifth Grade Xuanwu Realm.

Just as Gu Sheng was contemplating whether to go all out for the breakthrough, a faint sound of footsteps suddenly came from outside the house.

"Someone."

His spiritual power spread like invisible tentacles, instantly extending to every corner of the room, even able to perceive the crawling of ants within the cracks of the walls with clarity.

However, the faint footsteps outside mysteriously vanished as if into thin air, and within the range of his perception, there was not a single person.

Gu Sheng slowly opened his eyes, his pitch-black pupils filled with vigilance.

His fingers gently tapped the edge of the bed, producing a rhythmic "tap tap" sound.

"Since you are here, why the need to hide?"

Gu Sheng’s voice was calm as water, yet carried an undeniable sharpness.

"Haha, worthy of Linyin Pavilion’s Great Sacrificial Officer, your perception is truly keen."

A haughty male voice came from outside the door, followed by the door silently opening, revealing a young man in luxurious attire standing with his arms crossed.

His features were handsome, with an innate nobility between his eyebrows, surrounded by a subtle aura that isolated the entire room from the outside world.

Gu Sheng’s gaze swept across the newcomer, silently evaluating his opponent’s strength. To approach him silently and shield his spiritual power perception, this person’s cultivation was at least on par with his own, possibly even higher.

"I’ve purchased the temporary rights to reside here, yet you intrude upon another’s dwelling; such rudeness."

Gu Sheng’s tone was indifferent, yet he had silently activated his internal Spiritual Power, ready to respond to any unexpected situation.

The young man in luxurious attire laughed lightly, his eyes mocking.

"Merely a shabby house, and Great Sacrificial Officer Gu is so concerned?"

Gu Sheng’s eyes narrowed slightly, not only did the other know his residence, but also his identity.

He tentatively spoke.

"Shen Qingyun?"

"Indeed."

Shen Qingyun nodded slightly, a superior smile on his face.

"It seems Gu Sheng also has some understanding of my Shen Family."

At this moment, the Innate Spirit Embryo within Gu Sheng’s Sea of Consciousness suddenly issued a warning.

"Careful! This person can see through the Sea of Consciousness and detect my existence!"

Gu Sheng’s heart tightened, but he showed nothing on the surface.

He looked directly at Shen Qingyun, straightforwardly asking.

"What brings Mr. Shen here?"

Shen Qingyun seemed somewhat surprised at Gu Sheng’s calm reaction, he raised an eyebrow.

"Gu Sheng is indeed calm, knowing who I am yet remaining so composed. No wonder you dared to kill Lu Chongshan’s grandson."

Gu Sheng’s expression didn’t change, only repeating his question.

"What is Mr. Shen’s purpose here?"

"Purpose?"

Shen Qingyun sneered, suddenly releasing a powerful pressure.

"What if I said I’m here to exterminate you?"

The air inside the room seemed to congeal, the heavy pressure causing the wooden floorboards to emit a strained "creak."

Gu Sheng remained unmoved, not even his sleeve was swayed by this pressure.

"If you truly intended to kill me, Mr. Shen wouldn’t have appeared so flamboyantly."

Gu Sheng’s tone was indifferent, yet each word was as sharp as a knife.

"The dignified Young Master of the Shen Family to kill an unknown nobody, why so troublesome?"

Shen Qingyun’s eyes showed surprise, then he laughed heartily.

"Good! Good one, Gu Sheng! No wonder you’ve earned Tantai Pavilion Master’s favor."

His pressure receded, his tone turning meaningful.

"True, I indeed have my concerns. Tantai Mingyue is not someone to mess with, at least before the Secret Realm opens, I don’t wish to fall out with her."

Gu Sheng was enlightened; Shen Qingyun feared the influence behind Linyin Pavilion. Yet he didn’t relax his vigilance; if the opponent came looking, there must be a motive.

"So?"

Gu Sheng asked again.
