Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World novel Chapter 1509

Chapter 1509: Chapter 777: Background Details (Part 2)

The Longevity Ancestor roared hoarsely.

It was already too late.

The Southern Emperor’s body began to glow, and that light grew brighter and brighter, in an instant surpassing the midday sun.

A terrifying energy wave spread out from her center, causing the space around her to shatter like glass.

"No... my millennia of cultivation!"

An ancestor wailed in despair.

The destructive energy ripples swept across, and wherever they passed, whether mountain or cultivator, they were all reduced to dust.

The sky of the Purple Mist Cave Heaven was torn open with pitch-black cracks, violent spatial turbulence poured in, twisting all remnants into nothingness.

The Longevity Ancestor desperately offered up an Ancient Bronze Mirror, only for its surface to shatter from the energy wave as soon as it was deployed.

He spat out a mouthful of essence blood and used the recoil to retreat madly, barely escaping from the center of the explosion at the last moment.

When he looked back, the entire Purple Mist Cave Heaven was gone, leaving only a gigantic spatial vortex slowly rotating in its place.

The valley outside the Grotto Heaven also suffered, with the martial artists stationed there torn to pieces by the aftershock without even a chance to scream.

"Southern Emperor... such ruthless means..."

The Longevity Ancestor’s face was deathly pale, his eyes full of venom.

"But you think this will protect your secret treasures? Too naive!"

When Gu Sheng regained consciousness, he found himself standing in a field of ruins.

Surrounded by fallen stone pillars and broken walls, the air was filled with an ancient and decaying aura.

"Where is this?"

He frowned and asked.

The girl beside him looked pale, clearly not yet fully recovered from the dizziness of spatial transmission.

She leaned on a broken wall and pointed to the center of the ruin.

"There... the Transmission Array left by Sister Muqing..."

Following her finger, Gu Sheng indeed saw an incomplete ancient array.

The array’s patterns had become blurred, with several key nodes damaged, but the core part remained intact.

He approached to inspect it, surprise flashing in his eyes.

"This array... is at least from the Ancient Times."

The girl nodded.

"Sister Muqing said this Transmission Array can be used at most two more times, and then it will completely collapse."

Hearing this, Gu Sheng’s lips curled into a slight smile.

"Brilliant. This way, even if a King Realm expert follows, they cannot activate the Transmission Array again, completely cutting off the possibility of pursuit."

He turned back to look at the girl.

"Where did Senior Sister Miao arrange for us to go?"

The girl took out a Jade Scroll from her bosom, placed it on her forehead to read the information, and then replied.

"The Transmission Array has two possible destinations... Sun City in the East Desolation, or the Imperial City of the Southern Emperor Lineage. Both sides have King Realm experts ready to assist."

Gu Sheng gazed at the gradually fading Purple Mist in the distance, his eyes filled with complexity.

Miao Muqing’s plan was indeed flawless, but fate is unpredictable, and the sudden counterattack of the Southern Emperor’s residual soul disrupted everything.

"To think the determination of Senior Southern Emperor was so strong."

Gu Sheng murmured softly, his fingers unconsciously stroking the Storage Bag at his waist.

The girl beside him... the descendant of the Southern Emperor Lineage, Yun Qingyao, adjusted her hair disheveled by the wind, speaking gently.

"Although the ancestor is left with only a residual soul, he was once a peak King Realm expert. Miao Muqing underestimated the dignity of an Emperor."

Gu Sheng turned to look at her. Despite the pallor of her face, still carrying traces of surviving the disaster, her eyes had regained clarity.

He nodded slightly.

"Miss Yun is right. But this is also good, at least we don’t have to face the pursuit of that mad woman Miao Muqing anymore."

Yun Qingyao pursed her lips into a smile, as gentle as a spring breeze, making Gu Sheng stunned for a moment.

"Young Master Gu, should we head straight back to the East Desolation next?"

Yun Qingyao asked, her eyes carrying inquiry.

Gu Sheng pondered for a moment, shaking his head.

"No, we will go to the Southern Emperor Imperial City first."

"Oh?"

Yun Qingyao was clearly a bit surprised, her delicate eyebrows slightly furrowed.

"Why not return directly to the East Desolation? The people of the Seventy-two Divine Sects might leave us be for now, but over time..."

"Exactly because of this."

Gu Sheng interrupted her, his eyes shining with a clever gleam.

"After Senior Southern Emperor regains control of his body, he will never allow himself to fall into the hands of the Seventy-two Divine Sects again. I suspect he may choose to self-destruct."

Yun Qingyao’s pupils contracted.

"Self-destruct? That’s a self-destruction of a King Realm expert!"

"Indeed."

Gu Sheng nodded.

"There probably aren’t many who survived in the Purple Mist Cave Heaven. The Seventy-two Divine Sects’ loss this time is much larger than expected, they can hardly preserve themselves, let alone muster the energy to deal with us."
