Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World

Chapter 636: Chapter 342: Dog Snatches the Divine Spring

”Alright then, be careful,” Kou Hai said, panting heavily.

Ying Tianxing also nodded, ”Gu Sheng, Black Emperor, you must be cautious.”

”Woof! Woof!” Black Emperor barked twice in response.

Gu Sheng and Wu Dewang continued climbing forward, while Xing Lie and the others returned to the cave, waiting for their good news. The higher they climbed, the stronger the gravity became, as if an invisible mountain were pressing down on them, making each step extraordinarily difficult. Yet, they refused to give up, knowing that only perseverance could lead them to the Divine Spring.

”Woof! Woof!” Suddenly, Black Emperor barked excitedly, seemingly having discovered something.

Gu Sheng and Wu Dewang followed Black Emperor’s gaze forward and saw, not far ahead, a spring encircled by radiant light, gurgling with crystal-clear water. The water shimmered, glinting like a dazzling gemstone embedded in the mountain’s wall.

”Is this the Divine Spring?” Wu Dewang asked excitedly.

”It should be,” Gu Sheng nodded, his eyes shining with excitement. ”Let’s hurry over!”

Just as they were approaching the Divine Spring, a powerful pressure suddenly descended from the sky, as if trying to crush them completely. Gu Sheng and Wu Dewang quickly circulated their internal strength to resist the terrifying pressure, yet their bodies still trembled uncontrollably.

”Woof! Woof! Woof!” Black Emperor barked frantically, seemingly cheering for its masters.

Under that overwhelming pressure, each step became excruciatingly difficult. Still, they refused to give up, knowing the Divine Spring was right before them; they just needed to hold on a bit longer to bask in its nourishment.

After an arduous struggle, Gu Sheng and Wu Dewang finally reached the edge of the Divine Spring. Gazing at the crystal-clear water before them, their hearts were filled with joy and anticipation.

”Quick, taste the Divine Spring’s water!” Gu Sheng said with a grin.

Wu Dewang nodded. They cupped a handful of the spring water and drank it down. Instantly, a refreshing sensation spread throughout their bodies, making them feel incredibly comforted and exhilarated. At the same time, they observed their Life Force rapidly recovering, as if they had been rejuvenated with youthful vitality.

”Amazing! The Divine Spring truly lives up to its name!” Wu Dewang exclaimed, his voice brimming with excitement and greed. He scooped another handful of the Divine Spring water, watching the droplets fall like pearls, glimmering with mysterious radiance.

Standing nearby, Gu Sheng’s gaze was profound. ”This Divine Spring is indeed extraordinary. We need to collect some quickly to bring back to Xing Lie and the others. It will surely benefit their cultivation greatly.”

Saying this, he deftly retrieved five or six delicate porcelain bottles from his storage bag and began carefully collecting the Divine Spring water. Each droplet seemed imbued with boundless Life Force, evoking a deep sense of yearning.

Just then, a commotion broke the serene atmosphere. Black Emperor and Wu Dewang were fighting over the Divine Spring.

”You stupid dog, let go!” Wu Dewang roared, attempting to snatch his porcelain bottle from Black Emperor’s mouth. But Black Emperor clearly had no intention of relinquishing it easily; its teeth bared as it tightly clung to the bottle like its lifeline.

”Woof! Woof! You’re the idiot! How can something as precious as the Divine Spring be yours alone!” Black Emperor retorted, its eyes shining mischievously.

Watching the farcical scene unfold before him, Gu Sheng frowned. He knew these two had always been at odds, but he hadn’t expected them to break into a brawl at such a critical juncture. With a sigh, he decided to intervene.

”Enough! Both of you, stop it immediately!” Gu Sheng’s thundering voice rang in their ears like a flash of lightning. They paused their actions in unison and turned to look at him.

”This Divine Spring is so rare and precious—if you don’t hurry up and collect it, what if it suddenly disappears?” Gu Sheng admonished sternly.

Black Emperor and Wu Dewang both lowered their heads, resuming their greedy enjoyment of the Divine Spring.

”Alright, let’s finish bottling the Divine Spring water and leave this place quickly,” Gu Sheng commanded, gesturing for them to continue. He knew that although the pair had momentarily ceased their quarrel, another conflict could flare up at any moment. They needed to complete the task swiftly and vacate this tempting location.

As they were preparing to leave, a mysterious light erupted from deep within the Divine Spring. It was a dazzling beam, ascending skyward like it aimed to illuminate the heavens.

”What’s that?” Wu Dewang exclaimed, his gaze fixed on the light column, his eyes filled with shock and curiosity.

Black Emperor’s eyes widened as well, clearly stupefied by the sudden turn of events. Gu Sheng, however, furrowed his brows, sensing a surge of powerful energy rapidly approaching their location.

”Quick! Let’s head to the island!” Gu Sheng swiftly decided, knowing the Divine Spring undoubtedly hid some monumental secret. Now, with the appearance of this light pillar, his assumption was confirmed. They had to reach the island and uncover the truth before they missed this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Led by Gu Sheng, the trio hurriedly swam towards the island at the lake’s center. The water below them rippled furiously, as though it shared their enthusiasm for the mission.

Upon stepping foot on the central island, an even richer Spiritual Energy enveloped them. They scanned their surroundings and were greeted by lush trees, vibrant flowers, chirping birds, and a fragrant breeze. It was a scene like an Immortal Realm on Earth.
