Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World novel Chapter 841

Chapter 841: Chapter 444: Phantom Soul People

"Thank you."

Gu Sheng nodded gratefully.

Next, Qingyang instructed Gu Sheng to place the Dragon Spirit Jade against his chest and feel the spiritual power surging within.

Gu Sheng closed his eyes and began circulating the spiritual power within his body.

"Ssssss!"

As the divine power surged, Gu Sheng merged with the spiritual power from the Dragon Spirit Jade.

A moment later, Gu Sheng opened his eyes, a look of delight on his face.

He felt that his spiritual power had grown much stronger than before, as if his entire spirit had been rejuvenated.

"How is it, how do you feel?"

Qingyang asked with concern.

"Very good!"

Gu Sheng replied excitedly, "I feel like my cultivation speed has increased significantly."

Qingyang smiled slightly, silently relieved that he hadn’t misjudged someone.

He walked over to Gu Sheng, patted his shoulder, and said, "In that case, let this Dragon Spirit Jade be your passage fare for Crossing the Void."

"This..."

Gu Sheng hesitated a bit; after all, the Dragon Spirit Jade contained such powerful energy.

Now using it as "passage fare" for Crossing the Void was really a bit heartbreaking.

"Senior Brother! Senior Brother! Can you give me one more chance, just once!"

"No! You don’t have the corresponding spiritual artifact, even if given the chance, it would be useless to you! Scram!"

"Senior Brother... Senior Brother..."

At this moment, a cultivator who had been driven out had a look of pleading.

And the cultivator, who seemed to be higher up in Carefree Gate, had a cold and indifferent demeanor.

Immediately, the higher-up cultivator waved their hand, and the pleading cultivator was sent flying hundreds of meters away, disappearing from everyone’s sight.

"This..."

Gu Sheng was speechless but couldn’t say much.

"Senior Brother Qing Feng!"

Seeing the cold and indifferent cultivator, Qingyang hurriedly stepped forward and called out.

"What?"

Qing Feng turned back.

"Look at this!"

Qingyang said as he handed over the Dragon Spirit Jade Gu Sheng had given to him.

"Dragon Spirit Jade?"

Upon seeing it, Qing Feng’s eyes lit up, "Where did this come from?"

As he spoke, Qing Feng took hold of the Dragon Spirit Jade, looking as if he couldn’t let it go.

"He, he wants to Cross the Void, and he brought this spiritual artifact along."

Qingyang pointed to Gu Sheng.

Gu Sheng smiled and nodded, "Senior Brother, please arrange the Crossing the Void for me as soon as possible, I need to go to the Northern Territory."

"You?"

Qing Feng slightly furrowed his brows, giving Gu Sheng a once-over.

"Yes."

Gu Sheng nodded.

"Northern Territory?"

Qing Feng nodded in puzzlement, then asked, "That place has thin spiritual energy and is full of dangers, why do you want to go there?"

"To search for a mysterious land and acquire some power, so I can better protect those around me."

Gu Sheng casually replied.

"Mysterious land? What place?"

Qing Feng pressed on.

"Uh..."

Gu Sheng was speechless. He didn’t expect Qing Feng to be so curious.

Asking so thoroughly as if he were a spy.

"I don’t know either; I’ll find out when I get there."

Gu Sheng said.

"Alright, in that case, I’ll help arrange the Crossing the Void, but before that, you must pass a test."

Qing Feng said as he held the Dragon Spirit Jade in his hand, turned his back, and spoke.

"Test?"

Gu Sheng asked in confusion.

"Indeed."

Qing Feng nodded.

Then, he took out a Jade Scroll from his pocket and handed it to Gu Sheng.

Gu Sheng took the Jade Scroll and glanced at its contents.

"This Jade Scroll contains the details of a test. Only by passing the test will you qualify to Cross the Void. The test involves..."

Qing Feng explained the contents of the Jade Scroll, and Gu Sheng listened attentively.

It turned out, the test required him to quickly learn a spell called the Soul Condensing Skill.

Then use this spell to defeat a Shadow Soulman to pass.

"I understand, Senior Brother Qing Feng, I will give my all to pass this test."

Soon after, a figure slowly emerged from the shadows.

It was an old man with a haggard face, eyes glowing with an eerie green light.

He exuded a frigid aura, completely unlike a normal person.

Gu Sheng tensed, knowing he’d encountered his target.

He took a deep breath, quietly circulating the Mystic Yellow Qi within, preparing to subdue his opponent with one move.

"Young man, why have you come here?"

The Shadow Soulman asked, curious.

"I’m here to Cross the Void, and I must kill you."

Gu Sheng stared at the Shadow Soulman and slowly spoke.

The Shadow Soulman was slightly taken aback, then sneered.

"Hahaha... you’re here to Cross the Void? Another of Carefree Gate’s ideas?"

The Shadow Soulman asked.

"Hmm?"

Gu Sheng was suddenly stunned.

He hadn’t expected the Shadow Soulman to know his situation.

So Gu Sheng didn’t deny it, but nodded slightly and said, "Yes, they sent me."

"Sigh..."

The Shadow Soulman showed a trace of resignation in his eyes and sighed deeply.

"Carefree Gate, always Carefree Gate. It seems they are determined not to let us former comrades off."

Speaking, the Shadow Soulman looked towards the sky, as if burdened with endless sorrow.

Gu Sheng was startled, not expecting the Shadow Soulman to say such things.

"Former comrades? What do you mean?"

Gu Sheng asked, somewhat puzzled.

The Shadow Soulman let out a bitter laugh, "Yes, former comrades."

Then, the Shadow Soulman began telling the stories of the past.

It turned out, the Shadow Soulman was part of a group, all of whom were Carefree Gate’s discarded disciples.

Back then, due to various reasons, they left Carefree Gate.

But Carefree Gate refused to let us go, determined to eradicate us.

They sent out experts, killing them one by one.

After dying unjustly, their resentment lingered, turning them into Shadow Soulmen.

In essence, Carefree Gate used the Crossing the Void test to have other cultivators kill these Shadow Soulmen.

This way, they avoided the stigma of comrades killing each other.
