Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World

Chapter 1428: Chapter 737: Still Not Worthy

He glanced at his own bloodied body and surroundings, then turned to Xiao Mengdie, whose face was pale with terror, with a slight smile on his lips.

”Good morning, Miss Xiao.”

Gu Sheng’s tone was calm, as if he were simply greeting after just waking up.

”You... you...”

Xiao Mengdie pointed at Gu Sheng, her finger trembling.

”Are you cultivating or committing suicide?”

Gu Sheng stood up, flexing his muscles, as his joints emitted cracking sounds.

He casually wiped the blood off his face and laughed.

”It’s just a secret technique cultivation, these are impurities and stagnant blood expelled after refining the foundation.”

”Refining foundation?”

Xiao Mengdie looked at him questioningly.

”Who refines the foundation like this? My father said that the foundation should be built gradually...”

Her words abruptly stopped because Gu Sheng suddenly erupted with a powerful surge of True Qi!

”This is...”

Xiao Mengdie’s eyes widened.

Gu Sheng was also stunned, feeling the surging True Qi within his body.

Last night, he broke through nine death points, and the True Qi rushed through his meridians. Unknowingly, he had crossed the bottleneck of the Seventh and Eighth Levels of the Xuanwu Realm and was now launching an assault on the Earth Martial Realm!

”Not good!”

Gu Sheng’s expression slightly changed. Breaking through to the Earth Martial Realm requires a stable environment and someone’s protection; otherwise, it’s easy to fall into madness.

Xiao Mengdie also sensed the anomaly, her delicate face changed color.

”You want to break through to the Earth Martial Realm? Here?”

Gu Sheng smiled bitterly.

”It seems so.”

”Are you crazy!”

Xiao Mengdie stamped her foot in anxiety.

”Breaking through to the Earth Martial Realm is extremely dangerous, you haven’t even prepared! I... I’ll go find my father to protect you!”

”Rise from death, establish after breaking!”

Gu Sheng sat cross-legged as True Qi surged within him.

After the nine death points were connected, his meridians seemed to form a heavenly path, with True Qi surging endlessly, each cycle making his aura more formidable.

”Boom!”

A white rainbow of True Qi shot up from his Heavenly Spirit, piercing the nine heavens.

In the sky, auspicious clouds gathered, forming a massive vortex, as if the heavens and earth were celebrating this momentous breakthrough.

Outside the courtyard, Xiao Mengdie parted her lips slightly, her eyes filled with disbelief.

”How... how is this possible? A breakthrough from the Xuanwu Realm to the Earth Martial Realm can actually evoke celestial phenomena?”

She had personally witnessed her father Xiao Xuanze breaking through to the Sect Realm’s spectacular scene, but that was a high-level cultivator’s breakthrough.

Yet Gu Sheng, transitioning from the Xuanwu Realm to the Earth Martial Realm, could trigger such phenomena, which was simply unheard of.

”Whizz—”

A shadow streaked across the sky, Xiao Xuanze approached controlling the sky, his wide sleeves flapping in the wind.

His gaze was fixed on the small courtyard where Gu Sheng was, with shock in his eyes.

”The lower the realm, the more celestial phenomena evoked, the more heaven-defying the talent.”

Xiao Xuanze murmured to himself.

”The future achievements of this child may not be below the King Realm, perhaps even...”

He did not continue but formed hand seals, instantly sealing the space within a hundred feet with powerful spiritual power and True Qi.

”Disciples of Wanling Palace heed my command!”

Xiao Xuanze’s voice exploded in everyone’s ears.

”What you see and hear today must not be spread, violators will be treated as traitors to the sect and killed without mercy!”

The disciples were stricken with fear, whispering among themselves, but none dared to speak loudly.

Meanwhile, Gu Sheng, at the center of the breakthrough, was unaware of everything happening outside.

His consciousness was immersed in a wondrous state, as if amidst a vast starry sky, surrounded by countless spiritual energy.

”Earth Martial Realm, True Qi sublimates, Condensing Qi into Sea...”

Gu Sheng’s mind stirred, the nine death points within his body fervently absorbing the influx of nature’s spiritual energy.

Ordinary martial artists breaking through to the Earth Martial Realm only require one infusion of spiritual energy, but because of the nine connected points, he needs several times more spiritual energy than usual.

”Not enough, still not enough!”

Gu Sheng furrowed his brow, sensing the True Qi within him undergoing a qualitative change, gradually transforming from gaseous to liquid state, but the process required an enormous amount of energy.

At this moment, the Nine Dragon Universe Cauldron suddenly vibrated, its nine dragon patterns seemed to come alive, spewing nine different colored lights.

These lights intertwined in the air, finally forming a seven-colored light beam, directly pouring into Gu Sheng’s Heavenly Spirit.

”This is...”

Gu Sheng’s body shook, feeling an unprecedented surge of pure energy flood into him, instantly filling his meridians and Dantian. The speed of True Qi liquefaction accelerated rapidly, forming a small ”True Qi ocean” in his Dantian in the blink of an eye.

”Earth Martial Realm, accomplished!”

Gu Sheng was overjoyed, but before he could fully appreciate the mysteries of the new realm, an unexpected change occurred!

From the depths of his Sea of Consciousness, suddenly came a soft ”Hmm,” followed by an elderly voice echoing in his mind.

”It’s been tens of thousands of years...finally waiting for a worthy successor...”

Gu Sheng’s heart trembled greatly; with his past life’s knowledge as Beichen Pill Emperor, he naturally knew what this meant—an expert had left a spiritual imprint in his Sea of Consciousness!

”Who?”

Gu Sheng asked solemnly within his Sea of Consciousness.

A ghostly figure slowly emerged, it was an old man with white hair and beard, his visage kind yet dignified.

The old man wore an ancient Daoist robe, with three dozen star patterns embroidered on his cuffs, exuding an aura of transcendence.

”Little one, there’s no need to panic.”

The old man smiled slightly.

”I am the creator of the Thirty-Six Cave Heaven Divine Technique; this spiritual projection was left long ago, waiting for a destined person.”

Gu Sheng’s heart was in turmoil.

Spiritual power leaving the Sea of Consciousness and existing independently is already exceedingly difficult, yet this projection has existed for tens of thousands of years; what terrifying cultivation must this old man possess?

”Senior...”
