Chapter 303 Divine Infant Stone Spirit
"What's your name?" Yao Chi Saint asked gently.
The baby girl shook her head: "I don't have a name yet, can Daddy and Mommy give me one?"
"Of course." Gu Sheng said with a smile, "You were born from the original stone, let's call you 'Shi Ling'."
"Shi Ling? Nice!" The baby girl clapped her hands and laughed happily, "Then I'll be called Shi Ling!"
The Yao Chi Saint looked at Shi Ling's innocent smile, and an inexplicable feeling surged in her heart. She gently stroked Shi Ling's head and said, "Shi Ling, we will be a family from now on. We will take good care of you."
However, at this moment, a strong breath suddenly came from afar. Gu Sheng and Yao Chi Saint both changed their faces, and they felt the hostility and threat contained in that breath.
"Not good! Someone is coming!" Gu Sheng said in a deep voice, "We have to leave here quickly!"
The Yao Chi Saint nodded and picked up Shi Ling and Gu Sheng and quickly left the secret garden. Not long after they left, a black shadow fell where they were before. It was a mysterious man in a black robe. He glanced at the surrounding environment coldly, and then a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Want to escape? Not that easy!"
Gu Sheng and Yao Chi Saint took Shi Ling to shuttle through the secret realm, trying to get rid of the pursuers behind them. However, the powerful aura always followed them like a shadow, as if they could not get rid of it no matter where they fled.
"What should we do? We seem to be locked!" Yao Chi Saint said anxiously.
Gu Sheng's eyes flashed with a trace of determination: "We can't let them find Shi Ling! I'll cover the rear, you take Shi Ling and go first!"
"No! I can't let you face danger alone!" Yao Chi Saint said firmly.
Just as the two were arguing, Shi Ling suddenly said: "Daddy, mother, you don't have to fight. I have a way to get rid of them."
Gu Sheng and Yao Chi Saint looked at Shi Ling in surprise: "What do you have?"
Shi Ling closed his eyes and muttered something in his little mouth. After a moment, she opened her eyes and pointed in a direction and said, "Go over there, I have a good friend waiting for us there."
Although the two were puzzled, there was no better way at this time. They followed the guidance of Shi Ling and walked forward. Sure enough, they saw a huge cave entrance soon. The cave was full of exotic flowers and plants on both sides, and the fragrance was fragrant. At the entrance of the cave stood a young man in white.
The young man saw Gu Sheng and the other two coming and showed a gentle smile on his face: "You are finally here."
"Who are you?" Gu Sheng asked vigilantly, "How did you know we would come here?"
The young man smiled: "I am Shi Ling's friend. She sent me a message before, saying that there would be a distinguished guest visiting."
The Saint of Yao Chi looked at the young man, felt the powerful aura emanating from him, and was secretly alert in her heart. But she also knew that this was not the time to be suspicious, so she asked: "Can you help us get rid of the pursuers behind us?"
"Of course." The young man smiled and nodded, "This is my territory, I guarantee they can't find you."
After that, he turned around and led the three people into the depths of the cave. The cave was as complicated as a maze, but the boy led them through it with ease. Soon they came to a spacious stone chamber. In the center of the stone chamber was a huge stone tablet engraved with ancient runes.
"You guys take a rest here first." The boy pointed to the stone table and stone bench in the stone chamber and said, "I'll go deal with the trouble outside."
Gu Sheng and Yao Chi Saint looked at each other and nodded: "Thank you."
Soon after the boy left, there were bursts of roars and screams from outside. After about a cup of tea, the boy came back. There was no blood or dust on his body, as if he had just gone out for a walk.
"Solved." He said lightly, "You can stay here with peace of mind."
Gu Sheng and Yao Chi Saint both breathed a sigh of relief. They knew that they were able to escape from danger this time thanks to the mysterious boy in front of them. And Shi Ling also happily jumped to the boy and hugged his thigh: "Thank you, brother!"
Yao Chi Holy Land, with its beautiful scenery, has been a holy place in the hearts of immortal cultivators since ancient times.
On this day, shocking news suddenly came from the depths of the holy land - Yao Chi Saintess accidentally discovered an ancient divine infant sleeping in a jade box while excavating an ancient site.
Although the divine infant was sleeping with its eyes closed, it exuded strong life fluctuations all over its body, which was obviously not an ordinary thing. The Saintess knew that this matter was very serious and immediately blocked the news, but there is no wall that is impenetrable in the world. Soon, this news spread like the wind throughout the entire cultivation world.
All major forces heard the news and sent their capable generals to Yao Chi Holy Land to inquire about the truth under various names.
"Saintess, Master Yue Qianshan of Wuliang Mountain wants to see you." A Yao Chi disciple hurriedly reported.
The Saintess frowned slightly and said in a deep voice: "If you don't want to see me, just say that I am in seclusion and practicing, so it is inconvenient to disturb me."
"Yes!" The disciple took the order and left.
However, this was just the beginning. Soon after, Jiang Yichen from Tiandao Sect, Elder Lingyue from Yaoguang Holy Land, Venerable Jiemie from Miedao Temple, and Ji Daochong from Ji Family also came to Yaochi Holy Land. They all expressed their strong interest in the Ancient Divine Infant, either openly or secretly.
Yaochi Saint knew that these people were the best in the world of cultivation, and it was not easy to offend any of them. But she knew that the importance of the Ancient Divine Infant was self-evident, and these forces must not be allowed to get involved.
"Saintess, Jiang Yichen from Tiandao Sect wants to see you." Another disciple came to report.
"No." The Saintess refused again.
At this time, the Saintess of Yaochi was already upset. She knew that she had to come up with a foolproof plan to deal with this storm. Just as she was thinking hard, a figure suddenly flashed in front of her.
"Saintess, I'm here to help you." The man was Gu Sheng, a descendant of the ancient beast, who had been secretly protecting the Yaochi Holy Land.
The Saintess was overjoyed: "Senior Gu Sheng, it's great that you can come! Now all major forces are eyeing the ancient divine infant, what should we do?"
Gu Sheng smiled slightly: "Leave this matter to me. Don't worry, the ancient divine infant will never fall into their hands."
After that, Gu Sheng's figure flashed and disappeared on the spot. The Saintess looked at his back and took a deep breath, and the big stone in her heart finally fell halfway.
At the same time, outside the Yaochi Holy Land, representatives of major forces gathered together. They tested each other, each with their own ulterior motives, and all wanted to monopolize the supreme opportunity of the ancient divine infant.
"Master Yue Qianshan, why did you come to Wuliang Mountain this time?" Jiang Yichen asked with a smile.
Master Yue Qianshan glanced at him and said, "We are naturally here to exchange cultivation experiences with Yaochi Holy Land. As for other things... hehe, I have nothing to say."
Elder Lingyue also said, "We have always had exchanges with Yaochi Holy Land, and this time we came here to deepen the friendship between the two factions."
"Huh! Friendship?" Venerable Jiemie sneered, "I think you are all here for the ancient divine infant!"
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere suddenly became tense. Although the major forces knew it tacitly, no one wanted to be the first to tear their faces apart.
Suddenly, a figure fell from the sky and landed in front of everyone. It was Gu Sheng!
"Thank you for coming all the way here." Gu Sheng smiled slightly, "But I'm sorry to tell you that the ancient divine infant is not in the Yaochi Holy Land."
"What?!" Everyone was shocked when they heard this, "Then where is it?!"
"She has flown to the Taichu Ancient Mine to find her people." Gu Sheng's mysterious smile was like a small stone on the lake, stirring up ripples in people's hearts.
"You are cheating! Did the ancient divine infant really fly to the Taichu Ancient Mine? Do you have any evidence?" Yue Qianshan's voice was like thunder, exploding in the Yaochi Holy Land. His face flushed, and he was obviously really angry.
Gu Sheng's eyes were like torches, and his attitude was as firm as iron: "I, Gu Sheng, always keep my word. Believe it or not, it's up to you."
Just when the conflict was about to break out, the little nun Jingyin gently pulled Yue Qianshan's sleeve, and her voice was like a spring: "Uncle Master, wait a minute. Brother Gu's eyes are clear, so what he said should be true."
Jingyin's words seemed to have a kind of magic, which calmed Yue Qianshan's anger that was about to burst out a little. But the atmosphere in the field was still tense, like a tight string that could break at any time.
At this moment, several ignorant monks jumped out. They obviously thought that Gu Sheng was deliberately deceiving and wanted to take advantage of the opportunity.
"Humph! Do you think you can deceive us like this? How can we give up such an important treasure as the ancient divine infant so easily!" One of the monks shouted loudly and rushed towards Gu Sheng.
Gu Sheng's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness, and his body moved, and he instantly appeared in front of the monk. With a flash of golden light, Gu Sheng's ancient holy body began to move. He was golden all over, like a golden god of war. He slapped out with his palm, and the golden palm was imprinted on the chest of the monk, instantly pushing him back several steps.
"If you want to go wild, you have to see if you have the ability to do so!" Gu Sheng's voice was like the north wind in the cold winter, shocking everyone around him.
Seeing this, other monks who were ready to move chose to retreat. They knew that Gu Sheng was not a person who threatened with empty words. And Yue Qianshan, under the persuasion of Jingyin, also chose to be patient temporarily.
At this moment, a powerful breath suddenly descended from the sky, covering the entire Yaochi Holy Land. A man in black stood in the air, his eyes coldly scanning the crowd below.
"Hahaha! After searching everywhere, I found it without any effort! The ancient divine infant, I am determined to get it!" The voice of the man in black was cold and arrogant, like a poisonous snake, which made people feel scared.
A trace of solemnity flashed in Gu Sheng's eyes. He knew that this storm was far from over. The whereabouts of the ancient divine infant also seemed to become more confusing.
After the man in black appeared, the atmosphere in the field became tense in an instant. Gu Sheng and the Saint of Yao Chi looked at each other and saw the firmness and determination in each other's eyes. They knew that they must unite at this time to fight against this sudden strong enemy.
"Who are you? Why are you here to make trouble?" Gu Sheng asked coldly, his voice was like a sharp sword, pointing directly at the heart of the man in black.
The man in black just snorted coldly and did not answer Gu Sheng's question. He flashed and disappeared in an instant. The next moment he appeared in front of Gu Sheng and slapped Gu Sheng with one palm. This palm was powerful and heavy, obviously trying to defeat Gu Sheng in one fell swoop.
Gu Sheng was prepared. He dodged this palm with a flash, and at the same time stabbed the man in black with a sword. The sword light was like a dragon, going straight to the throat of the man in black. Seeing this, the man in black retreated quickly and swung his palm at the same time, colliding with Gu Sheng's sword light.
With a loud "bang", the two attacks collided in the air, bursting out with dazzling light.
"Good skills! No wonder you dare to be so arrogant!" The man in black sneered and disappeared again.
This time his attack was more fierce and cruel, with strong killing intent in every palm.
But Gu Sheng was not afraid. He used the Nine Gale Swords to start a fierce battle with the man in black.
The sword energy was flowing freely, and the two of them had fought for dozens of rounds.
Yue Qianshan and others also joined the battle one after another, fighting fiercely with the men brought by the men in black.
The entire Yaochi Holy Land was shrouded in this sudden battle.
Although the man in black is powerful, Gu Sheng is not an ordinary person.
The two were fighting from the sky to the ground, and it was hard to tell the winner for a while.
As time went by, Gu Sheng gradually showed his advantages.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"
His swordsmanship became more and more powerful, each sword aimed directly at the vital part of the man in black.
Although the man in black was powerful, he seemed a little weak in front of Gu Sheng's Nine Gale Swords.
"Chi!"
In a fierce confrontation, Gu Sheng stabbed the man in black in the chest with his sword.
"ah!"
The man in black screamed and took a few steps back.
He stared at Gu Sheng with an angry face, as if he wanted to eat him alive.
"Very good! You succeeded in irritating me! Next, I will let you know what despair is!"
The man in black roared angrily, forming seals with his hands, and a powerful aura emanated from him.
Everyone felt an invisible pressure covering the entire battlefield, making them almost breathless.
Gu Sheng did not flinch. He held the Jade Girl Sword tightly, golden light flowing all over his body, preparing to face the next wave of attacks from the man in black.
He knew that this battle was far from over, and he had to persevere in order to protect the safety of the Yaochi Holy Land and the Ancient Divine Infant.
The man in black flashed and launched another fierce attack on Gu Sheng.
This time, his attacks were even more bizarre and unpredictable, making them difficult to guard against.
But Gu Sheng did not panic. He used the shadow hiding skill and the carefree immortal steps to deal with the man in black.
Every attack was skillfully avoided by him. At the same time, he constantly launched counterattacks in an attempt to break the defense of the men in black.
The man in black is extremely powerful, and his defense is as impenetrable as an iron wall.
Although Gu Sheng's attack was fierce, he was still unable to break through the defense of the man in black.
As time passed by, the battle between the two entered a fierce stage.
The atmosphere in the field became increasingly tense, as if a bomb might explode at any time.
At this moment, the Yaochi Saint suddenly joined the battle.
Her figure is elegant, like a fairy descending to earth. Every attack is accompanied by the fairyland vision of Yaochi, which makes people's eyes bright. (End of chapter)
