Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World

Chapter 919: Chapter 483: No Beginning Scripture (2)

”The endpoint?”

Gu Sheng widened his eyes, full of incredulity.

He never thought of releasing the extraordinary person from the seal, nor did he think of any destined person, let alone that it would lead Jiang Lao to his endpoint.

”I...”

Gu Sheng wanted to say something, but Jiang Lao directly interrupted him.

”I will transform into a spiritual pill later, which needs to be combined with the No Beginning Scripture in order to seal that Ancient Jade. After seven days of sealing, the Ancient Jade will completely shatter, and only then will the deed be truly Perfect. Can you... cough... do it?”

Jiang Lao explained to Gu Sheng what was about to happen.

Spiritual pill?

No Beginning Scripture?

At this moment, Gu Sheng’s mind was full of question marks.

”Where is the No Beginning Scripture?”

Gu Sheng asked in confusion.

”Look, it’s engraved on that stone tablet. You need to calm your mind to comprehend it, but don’t be too obsessed with it. That’s the legacy of the Ancient Great Emperor. Being overly obsessed might lead to inner demons.”

Jiang Lao looked at a neat stone tablet beside him.

Gu Sheng turned his head and glanced at it, noticing that the stone tablet was indeed different from the other stones.

Even though some stones had been blown to pieces by the recent impact, the stone tablet remained intact and undamaged, with no signs of anomaly.

”Well, what about the spiritual pill?”

Gu Sheng nodded and asked.

”That would be me.”

After saying this, Jiang Lao exhaled slightly and then closed his eyes.

”Jiang Lao! Jiang Lao? Jiang...”

Gu Sheng shouted loudly.

But there was no response from Jiang Lao.

”Ssssss!”

Suddenly, Jiang Lao’s body began to turn transparent.

Jiang Lao’s body gradually became transparent and eventually transformed into a beam of light, gathering into a spiritual pill emitting a faint glow.

The spiritual pill slowly rotated in the air, radiating a gentle light.

”Jiang Lao!”

Gu Sheng shouted loudly with some reluctance.

In the Void, Jiang Lao’s voice rang out again, but this time with a hint of ethereal distance.

”Gu Sheng, do not grieve. My mission is complete. Go to the stone tablet; comprehend the No Beginning Scripture’s profoundness. There lies the answer you seek.”

Jiang Lao’s voice gradually faded, like the wind, drifting into the distance.

Gu Sheng stood in place, unexpected by Jiang Lao’s departure in such a manner.

He took a deep breath, suppressing the sorrow in his heart, and followed Jiang Lao’s guidance to the stone tablet.

The completeness of the stone tablet contrasted sharply with the surrounding rubble, clearly marking it as no ordinary object.

He stared at the stone tablet, seeing densely carved text on its surface.

These were words he had never seen before, resembling some form of ancient rune, with a mysterious aura lingering around.

”How ... how am I supposed to comprehend this? I don’t recognize a single word!”

Gu Sheng felt quite helpless.

After all, the No Beginning Scripture was a classic from thousands, even tens of thousands, of years ago.

Reading it now was akin to reading the stars.

”This is even harder than English...”

Gu Sheng said, gently reaching out to touch the runes on the stone tablet, trying to feel something.

However, these words were too profound for him, and he couldn’t understand their meanings.

Gu Sheng furrowed his brow, unable to help feeling a bit anxious.

”Jiang Lao, oh Jiang Lao, couldn’t you give me a hint? Even a translated version would do!”

Gu Sheng muttered to himself.

Even though he knew these words contained the key to saving the extraordinary person, he was powerless now.

”Ssssss!”

Just then, waves of power suddenly flashed on the No Beginning Scripture’s tablet.

Simultaneously, the Ancient Jade in Gu Sheng’s hand began to emit a gentle warmth.

This warmth directly triggered a stream of power flowing into his body from the Ancient Jade.

”What’s happening?”

Gu Sheng felt his consciousness being drawn in.

”Swish, swish, swish!”

Soon, strange scenes appeared before Gu Sheng’s eyes.

These scenes corresponded precisely with the runes on the stone tablet, as if clarifying their meanings for him.

Gu Sheng closed his eyes, immersed in these scenes, and started to gradually comprehend the essence of the No Beginning Scripture.

At this moment, Gu Sheng’s mind felt like a window had opened, through which he saw a whole new world—a world filled with ancient mysteries.

”No beginning, no beginning, no, no beginning, having nothing has a beginning, having beginning has nothing!”

Suddenly, Jiang Lao’s voice came from the Void.

Gu Sheng seemed to begin to understand the fundamental essence of the No Beginning Scripture.

Immediately, he started training according to the instructions on the scripture.

Unknowingly, his body gradually became enveloped in a faint light.

He felt his Life Spring gradually filling, and his mental sea growing more resolute.

Even the small tripod in his Dantian was further strengthened.

Gu Sheng opened his eyes, his eyes shining with excitement.

He didn’t expect that just understanding a bit of the preface of the No Beginning Scripture could enhance his realm significantly. If he perseveres, one day, he will undoubtedly fully comprehend the No Beginning Scripture’s profoundness and become a prominent figure in the domain!

Thinking of this, Gu Sheng’s resolve grew even stronger.

Train!

At this moment, there was only this word in his heart.

Only by training to become more powerful can he completely destroy the extraordinary person sealed within the Ancient Jade, thereby ending one of his karmic links.

Gu Sheng’s determination burned like a fierce flame, fully committing himself to the cultivation of the No Beginning Scripture.

The winds in the Desolate Domain blew unceasingly, while inside him, streams of power quietly brewed...

After days of arduous practice, Gu Sheng’s strength had improved significantly.

However, some Magic within the No Beginning Scripture remained as elusive as fog, making them hard to grasp.

Gu Sheng furrowed his brows, anxiety growing in his heart.

Yet, in this Desolate Domain, he was alone. Jiang Lao had transformed into a spiritual pill, and the extraordinary person was sealed—there was no one to ask.

So, when faced with difficulties, if he couldn’t overcome them on his own, he would be stuck in place.

At that moment, Gu Sheng suddenly noticed the Ancient Jade in his hand becoming sullen in color.

It no longer had the previous gentle luster but emitted a chilling aura instead.

Meanwhile, the spiritual pill formed by Jiang Lao began to emit a golden glow.

The glow grew increasingly bright, as if reminding Gu Sheng of something.

”This...”

Gu Sheng stood there, puzzled as to how things had turned out this way.

Suddenly, Jiang Lao’s voice once again came from the Void.

”Gu Sheng, quickly! The power of the extraordinary person within the Ancient Jade is reviving. You must seal him swiftly, or he might escape again!”

Jiang Lao’s voice was somewhat urgent, as if realizing the danger.

Gu Sheng’s heart trembled, and he immediately sprang into action.

He followed the essence of the No Beginning Scripture, urging the spiritual pill.

”Ssssss!”

Under his command, the spiritual pill released a mighty force.

Countless golden rays shot towards the Ancient Jade as if they were corporeal.

In the process, Gu Sheng suddenly felt a strong resistance.

Simultaneously, the Ancient Jade grew even more sullen in color, possibly sensing the danger and fiercely resisting?

Unknowingly, sweat began to bead on Gu Sheng’s forehead.

He could feel the power within the Ancient Jade struggling, trying to break the seal.

”Seal!”

Gu Sheng shouted.

He focused all his spiritual power on the Ancient Jade.

The spiritual pill’s light grew even more dazzling, contrasting sharply with the dark energy within the Ancient Jade.

”Clang, clang, clang!”

The forces within the Ancient Jade clashed violently, releasing a muffled rumbling sound.

Gu Sheng’s face turned pale, his body trembling from the sudden depletion of Divine Power.

He knew this was a life-or-death battle—it couldn’t afford any slack.

He must exercise the essence of the No Beginning Scripture to its fullest, maximizing the spiritual pill’s power!

Gradually, the dark energy within the Ancient Jade was suppressed, its color starting to return to normal.

Gu Sheng let out a long breath, suddenly feeling weak.

He tried to locate the spiritual pill but found nothing after searching around.

Then Gu Sheng suddenly noticed that the spiritual pill had transformed into a thin membrane, enveloping the outside of the Ancient Jade.
