Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World

Chapter 528: Chapter 288: A Male Disciple of the Yaochi Holy Land?

The Holy Daughter turned around, her gaze firm: ”Gu Sheng is exceptionally talented. His joining us is a rare opportunity for the Yaochi.”

”But the rules of the Yaochi cannot be broken for just one person. It is tradition to teach women, not men,” another elder said, frowning.

The Holy Daughter sighed gently, ”Rules are dead, people are alive. Why not make a small change for the future of the Yaochi?”

The elders were all abuzz with differing opinions, but the Holy Daughter was determined.

Gu Sheng stood by, observing everything attentively.

He stepped forward, bowing deeply to the Holy Daughter: ”I appreciate your kindness, Holy Daughter. But I do not wish to become the target of the Yaochi, nor do I want to make things difficult for you.”

The Holy Daughter, upon hearing this, felt a tinge of emotion in her eyes: ”Gu Sheng, you...”

”I would like to stay in the Yaochi as a friend, to train and grow with everyone,” Gu Sheng said with a smile.

The Holy Daughter nodded, feeling a bit regretful, but knowing this was the best choice for now.

In the days that followed, Gu Sheng’s training life in the Yaochi Holy Land became rich and colorful.

He trained alongside many female disciples, discussing martial techniques and progressing together.

Whenever he displayed the Ancient Sacred Body, his whole body glowing with golden light, with golden palms and fists, it always drew exclamations of admiration.

”Gu Sheng, your Gale Nine Swords are getting more and more impressive!” Su Yao praised from the side.

Gu Sheng smiled slightly: ”Thanks to all your guidance.”

Among the crowd, many female disciples secretly harbored feelings for Gu Sheng, but he always maintained a distance, unwilling to hurt anyone’s heart.

On the night of the full moon, Gu Sheng sat alone by the Turquoise Pool, lost in thought while gazing at the bright moonlight.

Su Yao approached quietly and sat beside him.

”Gu Sheng, what are you thinking about?” Su Yao asked softly.

Gu Sheng turned to look at her, a hint of gentleness in his eyes: ”Nothing much, just thinking about some past things.”

Su Yao held his hand, ”No matter what happened in the past, now we are in the Yaochi, facing the future together.”

Gu Sheng felt warmth in his heart and held Su Yao’s hand in return. They exchanged smiles, emotions beginning to blossom.

The good times did not last. One day, a group of unexpected guests arrived outside the Yaochi Holy Land, led by an imposing man who declared he wanted to challenge the strongest person in the Yaochi Holy Land.

”Who is Gu Sheng? Come out and fight me!” the man shouted loudly.

Upon hearing this, Gu Sheng stepped out of the crowd, looking coldly at the challenger, ”I am Gu Sheng. What do you want?”

The man sized Gu Sheng up and down, a hint of disdain in his eyes:

”I’ve heard you are the genius of the Yaochi Holy Land? Today, I want to see how strong you really are!”

With that, he flashed forward to attack Gu Sheng. A fierce battle was about to erupt.

Gu Sheng and the man engaged in a thrilling battle above the Yaochi Holy Land.

Both displayed their divine skills, fighting fiercely. Gu Sheng unleashed the Gale Nine Swords, sword light sweeping like the wind;

The man swung a huge axe, his attacks powerful and heavy towards Gu Sheng.

”Bang!” A loud crash echoed, both of them flying backwards simultaneously. Gu Sheng flipped in the air and landed steadily on the ground, while the man’s face turned pale, clearly having suffered significant injuries.

”You... you are actually this strong!” the man’s eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at Gu Sheng.

Gu Sheng looked at him coldly: ”Now you know my strength? Get lost!”

Hearing this, the man left the Yaochi Holy Land, embarrassed, with his followers.

Gu Sheng’s figure grew even more impressive in everyone’s hearts.

The man was Ji Chenfeng, a relative of the mountain gate elder Ji Pingping, who often acted arrogantly in the Yaochi Holy Land.

After this battle, the Holy Daughter paid more attention to Gu Sheng.

She approached Gu Sheng and seriously said, ”Gu Sheng, I hope you can truly become a member of the Yaochi Holy Land.”

Gu Sheng was slightly stunned: ”Holy Daughter, I...”

”I understand your concerns, but rules can be changed.”

The Holy Daughter firmly said, ”I will work hard to persuade the elders to make you a part of the Yaochi.”

Looking at the Holy Daughter’s determined eyes, Gu Sheng felt a warm current flow through his heart.

He bowed deeply: ”Thank you for the Holy Daughter’s kindness, Gu Sheng will not disappoint!”

With the Holy Daughter’s efforts, the elders finally softened their attitude towards Gu Sheng.

They began to re-evaluate this young man, discovering that he was not only exceptionally gifted but also upright in character and kind-hearted.

Such talent was indeed what the Yaochi Holy Land needed.

”Perhaps we can give Gu Sheng a chance,” one elder slowly spoke.

The other elders nodded in agreement. Upon hearing this, the Holy Daughter showed a comforting smile.

Upon learning this news, Gu Sheng was extremely excited.

He found the Holy Daughter, and bowed deeply: ”Thank you, Holy Daughter and elders, for your trust and kindness! I, Gu Sheng, will spare no effort for the Yaochi Holy Land, crossing fire and water if needed!”

The Holy Daughter helped him up, smiling, ”We believe you can do it.”

Their gazes met in the air, filled with trust and expectation.

From this moment on, Gu Sheng officially became a member of the Yaochi Holy Land, his fate closely intertwined with this sacred land.

The news of Gu Sheng becoming a formal disciple of the Yaochi Holy Land quickly spread throughout the entire sacred land.

Su Yao, upon hearing the news, felt both happy and at a loss.

She knew her feelings for Gu Sheng were deepening, but she also knew that Gu Sheng was a person with pursuits and ambitions, his future would not be confined to the Yaochi Holy Land.

”Gu Sheng, will you leave the Yaochi?” Su Yao couldn’t help but ask.

Looking at her worried eyes, Gu Sheng smiled and said, ”Su Yao, don’t worry. No matter where I go, the Yaochi will always be my home. Moreover...” he paused, ”you’re here too.”
