Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World novel Chapter 780

Chapter 780: Chapter 414: The Melody Leads to the Illusion Realm

Ji Ziyue nodded and continued, "You might not know this, but in the history of the Supreme Mysterious Sect, the Hua family has played a significant role."

"Fortunately... quite fortunate."

Hua Yunfei smiled humbly, his face filled with modesty.

"Significant? In what way significant?"

Gu Sheng asked again.

"Naturally, their lineage is tied to the Taixuan Sect Leader. You must know that over half of the sect leaders of the Supreme Mysterious Sect have carried the surname Hua."

Li Xiaoman stepped forward and said.

"Uh..."

Gu Sheng glanced at Hua Yunfei, suddenly feeling that he seemed a level above.

Though, this didn’t seem to have much to do with himself.

"No, what I want to know is, what exactly happened between him and Ji Haoyue?"

Gu Sheng asked again.

Having witnessed Ji Haoyue’s methods previously, he wanted to learn about Hua Yunfei’s abilities through him.

Seeing Gu Sheng’s curiosity, Ji Ziyue added, "That was two years ago. My brother and him faced off, injuring each other with a thousand cuts, losing eight hundred in return, and narrowly winning."

"Narrowly winning?"

Gu Sheng heard these words and looked at Hua Yunfei.

He nodded lightly, "Indeed, Haoyue is also a natural Divine Body. Back then, my cultivation wasn’t yet sufficient. That’s the reason why I went into seclusion."

After speaking, Hua Yunfei gently plucked the strings of the guqin beside him.

"Tang tang tang..."

A burst of chaotic yet tranquil melodies echoed.

That sound... carried power!

Gu Sheng stood frozen in place, unable to fathom how Hua Yunfei could be so formidable.

Suddenly, Hua Yunfei asked, "I heard from Xiao Man that you injured many cultivators of my Ling Peak recently. True or false?"

Ji Ziyue felt a twinge of nervousness upon hearing Hua Yunfei’s question.

She immediately stepped in front of Gu Sheng and quickly explained, "Senior Brother Hua, they were mere friendly matches, without malice."

Hua Yunfei smiled faintly at her words.

"I bear no hostility. I merely wish to know whether Zhuo Peak now has a rising new powerhouse."

Upon hearing Hua Yunfei’s words, Ji Ziyue’s heart eased slightly.

She had feared that Hua Yunfei intended to cause trouble for Gu Sheng.

Clearly, as things stood, Gu Sheng was no match for Hua Yunfei.

If they fought, Gu Sheng would surely lose.

"Among the cultivators of Ling Peak, there were many lacking integrity. I merely gave them a little lesson on behalf of Ling Peak’s elders."

Gu Sheng responded directly.

"Gu Sheng, what are you saying?!"

Ji Ziyue said in exasperation, not expecting him to speak so candidly in front of Hua Yunfei and Li Xiaoman.

"It’s alright."

Hua Yunfei nodded in agreement, "I too dislike the behavior of some cultivators. They tarnish the reputation of cultivation. Since that is the case, I find myself itching for a match with you."

Li Xiaoman looked surprised and bowed slightly toward Hua Yunfei, "Senior Brother Hua, Gu Sheng’s cultivation is relatively shallow... Maybe... maybe it’d be better to let it be."

"It’s just a friendly sparring match, nothing serious. Why worry?"

Hua Yunfei turned his head and spoke.

"This..."

Li Xiaoman hesitated and turned to look at Gu Sheng.

Gu Sheng, however, merely smiled slightly.

At this moment, he could sense the battle intent emanating from Hua Yunfei, though it carried no hostility.

"Tang tang tang..."

The melodies rang out again.

Gu Sheng felt a stirring in his heart upon hearing the sound.

"This music..."

Gu Sheng had just begun to speak when he suddenly felt a rush of darkness before his eyes.

When he opened them again, he found himself enveloped in a vast Void—an expanse without stars or moon, drowning in chaos.

Only Hua Yunfei’s figure stood quietly before him.

"This is..."

Gu Sheng’s heart jolted in shock before he quickly realized what had happened.

The music just now had drawn him into an Illusion Realm created by Hua Yunfei’s melodies.

"Brother Gu, no need to be alarmed. Shall we continue our sparring here within this Illusion Realm?"

Hua Yunfei’s voice echoed amidst the Void, laced with a trace of humor.

"Let us!"

Gu Sheng did not hesitate and nodded in agreement.

He understood this was Hua Yunfei’s form of trial—a rare opportunity.

Even if he suffered injury, so be it. He’d take it as paying reparations to Ling Peak.

"Whoosh..."

Gu Sheng inhaled deeply, calming his mind and adjusting his state.

"Whoosh!"

In a flash, Hua Yunfei’s figure emerged, charging toward him.

With a gentle wave of his hand, countless invisible waves of air surged toward Gu Sheng like rolling tides.
