Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World novel Chapter 781

Chapter 781: Chapter 414: Piano Music Leads to the Illusion Realm_2

Gu Sheng didn’t dare to be careless, swiftly circulating the True Qi within his body, launching strikes with both palms in quick succession.

"Boom!"

Two forces collided in mid-air, erupting with deafening noise.

A storm seemed to brew within the Void, intimidating and unbridled.

The figures of the two moved rapidly within the storm, altering their techniques fluidly.

Gu Sheng knew Hua Yunfei’s strength was not to be underestimated, so he channeled all his True Qi to form an invisible protective barrier.

Though Hua Yunfei’s attacks were fierce, Gu Sheng’s defense stood firm and unyielding.

Their duel resembled a meticulously choreographed dance, a sense of mutual response rippling through their moves.

Gradually, Gu Sheng began to grasp the rhythm of Hua Yunfei’s attacks and attempted to counterattack.

"Bang!"

Gu Sheng struck out with his right palm fiercely, colliding head-on with Hua Yunfei’s charging palm wind.

This strike clashed with Hua Yunfei’s True Qi, resonating in another thunderous explosion.

Hua Yunfei’s figure faltered slightly but quickly steadied himself.

At that moment, there was no panic in his eyes; instead, a hint of admiration flashed through.

"Good!"

Hua Yunfei shouted, increasing the intensity of his attacks.

Simultaneously, a flicker of excitement lit up in Gu Sheng’s eyes.

He could feel Hua Yunfei’s battle intent, and his own fighting spirit became fully ignited.

Now, he was no longer simply defending but started proactively attacking, engaging in a true duel with Hua Yunfei.

"Boom!"

A massive energy vortex emerged from the storm within the Void, swallowing both of their figures.

When the dazzling light dissipated and the storm calmed, Gu Sheng and Hua Yunfei’s figures frozen in mid-air within the Void.

They exchanged smiles, sensing each other’s sincerity.

Suddenly, another flash of light appeared.

The two returned to the real world, finding themselves back at the pavilion on Spirit Peak.

"Brother Gu, your strength is truly formidable. Today’s sparring has been deeply enlightening for me."

Hua Yunfei said with a smile.

"Senior Brother Hua’s musical prowess and martial artistry equally opened my eyes. Thank you for going easy on me."

Gu Sheng replied with a friendly smile.

"You two... what’s going on?"

Ji Ziyue heard their conversation and looked completely baffled.

Li Xiaoman stepped forward to explain, "They just had a duel within the environment."

Ji Ziyue, already holding grievances against Li Xiaoman, immediately became displeased hearing her explanation.

"I know. I don’t need your explanation!"

"You..."

Li Xiaoman felt speechless but refrained from saying more.

"Hey, so you really sparred earlier? How did it go?"

Ji Ziyue leaned closer to Gu Sheng and asked.

"I... am no match for Senior Brother Hua."

Gu Sheng shook his head lightly and replied.

"Don’t be modest."

Hua Yunfei waved his hand dismissively, "You’re not inferior to me. In the Illusion Realm, you couldn’t use your treasures; had they been in play, I might have..."

Gu Sheng was inwardly shocked, surprised that Hua Yunfei had noticed he carried treasures.

Did he know about the green bronze fragment and the Mystic Yellow Power?

Thinking of this, Gu Sheng became even more astonished.

Hua Yunfei’s strength truly seemed unfathomable.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Suddenly, several streaks of rainbow light flew toward Spirit Peak.

Gu Sheng and the others looked up to see the rays were heading straight for them.

As the rainbow light dissipated, several cultivators revealed their true forms.

These cultivators stepped out from the light, radiating exceptional charisma.

The men looked handsome and dashing, while the women appeared stunningly beautiful.

Their arrival shifted the atmosphere on Spirit Peak dramatically.

"Brother!"

Ji Ziyue suddenly called out and rushed toward the group of cultivators.

It was then that Gu Sheng noticed that among them was Ji Haoyue!

Ji Haoyue was startled upon seeing Ji Ziyue, showing a hint of surprise.

"Ziyue, why are you here?"

Ji Ziyue excitedly grabbed Ji Haoyue’s arm, behaving like a playful child.

"Brother, I’m part of the Supreme Mysterious Sect now, of course I’m here."

Ji Ziyue quickly spoke up, "Brother, why are you so worked up? We’re fellow sect members. No need to be so tense."

"Yes, there’s no need to be tense."

Hua Yunfei echoed her sentiment.

"Hmm..."

Ji Haoyue nodded before exhaling heavily.

He attempted to suppress the force of Moonlight Over the Sea.

...

Retracting Divine Power was supposed to be effortless.

Yet, Ji Haoyue’s brows furrowed slightly.

No matter how he tried to recall the strength of Moonlight Over the Sea, the force grew more intense instead of subsiding.

This power seemed as though it had gained its own consciousness, freely flowing within him.

At the same time, Gu Sheng also felt an anomaly within himself.

The Golden Sea of Suffering inside him began roiling, waves of immense power surging tempest-like.

It seemed like it could tear through his restraints and erupt at any moment.

"What’s going on?"

Gu Sheng’s heart sank.

He struggled to maintain his calm exterior while grappling with turbulent emotions internally.

Meanwhile, Ji Haoyue’s expression grew increasingly grim.

He could sense the fluctuations of energy inside Gu Sheng.

The strength was so formidable that it brought Ji Haoyue a rare sense of threat.

And his inability to restrain Moonlight Over the Sea’s power—could it somehow be linked to Gu Sheng?

"Brother Ji, your complexion suddenly changed. Are you alright?"

Hua Yunfei, sensing the peculiar atmosphere, asked with concern.

Ji Haoyue shook his head, "I’m fine. My True Qi is just acting out of control."

Although Ji Haoyue tried to appear unaffected, his demeanor alarmed everyone else.

After all, Ji Haoyue was known as a Sacred Body, with unmatched cultivation.

If he couldn’t control his power, no one else could hope to.

Gu Sheng, hearing that, also felt his chest tighten.

He hadn’t expected Ji Haoyue’s True Qi to grow so restless.

And this restlessness... seemed inexplicably linked to him.
