Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World novel Chapter 1433

Chapter 1433: Chapter 739: Ancient Relic (2)

Gu Sheng cupped his fists and saluted.

"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Xiao. The injury has begun to heal, and I only need to replenish my True Qi to return to my peak."

Xiao Xuanze nodded while stroking his beard, and suddenly placed his hand on Gu Sheng’s shoulder, sending a gentle True Qi into his body.

Gu Sheng did not resist, allowing the True Qi to roam and probe within his meridians.

"How strange!"

Xiao Xuanze retracted his hand, his face showing astonishment.

"For an ordinary person, damage to the meridians to this extent would require at least six months of recuperation. But in just three days, new buds have already formed at the broken areas!"

Gu Sheng smiled but said nothing.

He knew it was the combined effect of the ’Nine Revolutions Mysterious Skill’ and the nine Grotto Heavens, but he dared not speak of it.

Xiao Xuanze didn’t press further and solemnly said,

"Thanks to you, Gu, for turning the tide; otherwise, my Wanling Palace would have been in peril.

After the eruption of the Origin Fire that day, the remaining enemies were all eliminated by me, not one was left!"

"You overpraise me, Mr. Xiao."

Gu Sheng shook his head.

"If it weren’t for Shadow sacrificing herself to protect me, I would have been reduced to ashes long ago."

At the mention of Shadow, Xiao Xuanze’s expression grew solemn.

"Miss Ying is indeed admirable. However..."

He changed his tone.

"Gu, you forcibly urged power beyond the limits of the physical body this time, and the aftermath won’t be minor."

Gu Sheng smiled bitterly.

"Mr. Xiao, you see everything clearly. To be honest, I was planning to ask if there is a place near Great Wilderness City that can strengthen the physical body?"

Xiao Xuanze’s eyes lit up.

"What a coincidence! Twenty thousand miles to the south is Spirit Flame Mountain, the molten pools there are where an ancient true dragon fell, which is considered a Holy Land for body cultivators!"

"A true dragon fell?"

Gu Sheng’s pupils narrowed slightly. True dragons are divine beasts of the world, and even their remaining essence blood after death contains supreme power.

"Exactly."

Xiao Xuanze nodded.

"The molten pools erupt with Dragon Breath once every hundred years, and at the bottom lay ’Dragon Blood Crystals’ formed from the true dragon’s essence blood. However..."

His face looked troubled.

"Spirit Flame Mountain is fraught with danger, not only are there exotic beasts from the molten pools, but strong individuals from various major forces vying for the Dragon Blood Crystals..."

Gu Sheng’s eyes ignited with fighting spirit.

"That’s just what I want."

"Gu Sheng!"

Xiao Mengdie suddenly spoke up.

"Your injuries haven’t healed yet, how can you take such risks?"

She turned to Xiao Xuanze.

"Father, you must dissuade him!"

Xiao Xuanze, however, burst into hearty laughter.

"Mengdie, in the face of a true dragon, everyone is equal. If Gu has such determination, how can I stand in his way?"

He looked at Gu Sheng.

"But there’s indeed no need to rush. Rest and adjust your energy for a day, then set off in your best state. I’ll go to the Scripture Pavilion to find the records related to Spirit Flame Mountain."

After Xiao Xuanze left, Xiao Mengdie bit her lip standing by the bedside, her eyes full of reluctance and worry.

"Miss Mengdie, do not worry."

Gu Sheng said softly.

"Once my physical body breaks through, I will return to visit."

"Who...who’s worried about you!"

Xiao Mengdie’s face turned slightly red, then she spoke seriously.

"I just think you care too little for yourself! Miss Ying risked her life to save you, yet as soon as you wake up, you want to embark on a dangerous adventure..."

Gu Sheng’s expression dimmed.

"Precisely because of that, I have to become stronger."

He raised his hand; a strand of weak True Qi flowed around his fingertip.

"If not for my weak physical body this time, it wouldn’t have come to this..."

Xiao Mengdie suddenly reached out and held his wrist.

"Promise me, you must return safely."

The warmth from the maiden’s palm startled Gu Sheng, and he nodded solemnly.

"I will."

As night fell, Gu Sheng sat cross-legged, attempting to condense a second Sea of Consciousness.

The painful memory of self-detonating his Sea of Consciousness was still vivid, but he had to restore his spiritual power as soon as possible.

At the moment his consciousness sank into the depths of the Sea of Consciousness, he was astonished to find that the second Sea of Consciousness, which should have been in ruins, was even more vast than before the self-detonation!

"This is..."

Gu Sheng viewed his Sea of Consciousness through inner vision, only to see a silver ocean surging, constantly expanding outward at its edges.
