Chapter 304: The Various Factions Fight for the Divine Infant
Her joining gave Gu Sheng a boost of confidence. The two of them cooperated well and launched a fierce offensive.
Facing the attack from the two, the man in black finally showed a flaw.
Gu Sheng saw the right moment and stabbed the man in black in the chest with a sword. With a "puff", the sword light penetrated the man in black's body.
The man in black screamed and retreated several steps. He stared at Gu Sheng in disbelief, as if he couldn't believe that he would be defeated by this young man.
"You...you can actually beat me...it's incredible..."
After the man in black said this with difficulty, he fell to the ground and lost consciousness.
His men also fled when they saw this.
"It's true to capture the leader first." Gu Sheng looked at the thieves who were fleeing in all directions, and a sneer rose at the corner of his mouth. As soon as the news of the ancient divine infant came out, these villains swarmed in like sharks smelling blood, but they didn't expect to be repelled by him one by one.
Yaochi Saint stood beside Gu Sheng, her eyes flashing with admiration: "Gu Sheng, you are really both wise and brave."
"You are flattering." Gu Sheng smiled faintly, looking into the distance, as if thinking about something.
Soon, news came from the Taichu Ancient Mine that someone had found the trace of the God Infant. This news set off an uproar in the cultivation world like a bomb. Everyone knows that the God Infant means endless potential and possibilities.
Gu Sheng showed a sly smile on his face, and he already knew it in his heart.
The God Infant in Yaochi Holy Land is different from the boy God Infant he knew before. This time, it was a girl. He didn't know if there was any connection between the two, but it didn't prevent him from looking forward to the upcoming adventure.
"Saint, what do you think the appearance of this God Infant means?" Gu Sheng turned to look at Yaochi Saint and asked her opinion.
The Saint of Yaochi pondered for a moment and slowly spoke: "Perhaps, this is a sign that the world is about to undergo a huge change. The ancient creatures that are constantly excavated in the Taichu Ancient Mine have been collected by many holy land families and cultivated with huge resources. These beings from more than one million years ago, once released, will have unfathomable abilities and completely change the power structure of this era."
Gu Sheng nodded in agreement: "Yes, this is why we must act as soon as possible. We can't let these ancient creatures fall into the hands of evil people, let alone let them change the balance of this world."
The two smiled slightly, reaching a tacit understanding, with a firm light in their eyes. They knew that the road ahead would be full of hardships and challenges, but they were ready.
Gu Sheng also knew that his cultivation was still shallow, only the fourth level of the marrow refining realm. He must break through to the seabed realm as soon as possible, otherwise he will find it difficult to gain a foothold in the future changes.
At this moment, a black shadow suddenly flew from a distance and landed in front of Gu Sheng and the Saint of Yaochi. The man was dressed in black and had a stern face. He was the man in black who was repelled by Gu Sheng before.
"Hahaha! Do you think everything will be fine after defeating me? Let me tell you, the real challenge has just begun!" The man in black sneered.
Gu Sheng and Yao Chi Saint looked at each other, and a trace of solemnity flashed in their eyes. They knew that this battle was far from over...
The man in black stared at Gu Sheng with a sinister look, "Boy, do you think you won? Humph, the secret of the Taichu Ancient Mine is not something that a small character like you can spy on!"
Gu Sheng heard this, but just smiled indifferently, "Oh? Really? Then I want to see what secrets this Taichu Ancient Mine hides."
The man in black sneered again and again, "Humph, you will regret it, you who don't know the height of the world!" After saying that, he flashed and turned into a black smoke and disappeared on the spot.
Gu Sheng and Yao Chi Saint looked at each other, and they both saw determination in each other's eyes. They knew that the road ahead would be more difficult, but they would never back down.
"Let's go and find out what's going on at the Taichu Ancient Mine." Gu Sheng said.
Yao Chi Saint nodded, "Okay, let's go together to uncover the secret of the Taichu Ancient Mine."
The two of them flashed and turned into two streams of light and flew towards the Taichu Ancient Mine.
Soon after, they came to the entrance of the Taichu Ancient Mine. There was a huge cave in front of them, and the cave was pitch black, like a black hole that swallowed everything.
Gu Sheng took a deep breath and stepped into the cave first. Yao Chi Saint followed closely behind, and the two carefully explored forward.
The cave was winding and the two kept moving forward. Gradually, they found some ancient runes and patterns carved on the inner wall of the cave. These runes and patterns emitted a faint light, as if telling some ancient story.
"These runes and patterns seem to hide some secrets." Yao Chi Saint said softly.
Gu Sheng nodded, "Yes, we have to be careful, this place may be full of traps."
The two moved forward more and more cautiously. Suddenly, a sharp energy came from the dark! Gu Sheng reacted quickly, grabbing the Saint of Yao Chi and dodging to the side. A sword light flashed past the place where they were originally standing!
"Who?!"
Gu Sheng shouted, and at the same time released the golden light of the ancient saint body to protect the two people. The Saint of Yao Chi also quickly entered the battle state, and the two looked around vigilantly with their backs to back.
"Hahaha! You are finally here!"
A gloomy voice echoed in the cave, "Since you are here, don't leave! Leave your life behind!"
As soon as he finished speaking, countless sword lights struck from all directions! Every sword light is extremely sharp, as if it can penetrate all defenses! Gu Sheng and the Yaochi Saint struggled to resist the attacks of these sword lights, but gradually they discovered that these sword lights seemed to be endless!
And the attack power of each sword light is gradually increasing! The two of them began to feel a little powerless...
"This is not the way to go!" Gu Sheng shouted,
"We must find the source of these sword lights!" He looked around for a breakthrough, and suddenly found an inconspicuous small hole at the top of the cave, "There!"
He pointed to the small hole and said to the Yaochi Saint, "Let's get out from there!"
The two of them fought hard to scatter the sword light in front of them and quickly flew towards the small hole!
However, just as they were about to fly out of the cave, a more powerful sword light fell from the sky! Take the lives of Gu Sheng and the Yaochi Saint! The two of them were shocked and quickly joined forces to resist the blow!
Just hearing a loud "boom", the whole cave shook! Gu Sheng and the Yaochi Saint were so shocked that they flew backwards and hit the cave wall...
When they stood up again, they were seriously injured... and the powerful sword light also dissipated in the air... The two looked at each other and saw panic and uneasiness in each other's eyes...
After a short rest, the two stood up again and looked around cautiously, looking for the next breakthrough...
After a fierce battle and exploration, Gu Sheng and the Yaochi Saint finally found the mechanism to control these sword lights! They carefully avoided deadly traps and traps and finally arrived at the core area of the trap!
I saw a huge crystal ball suspended in the air, emitting a faint light... and the crystal ball was surrounded by dense runes and patterns... These runes and patterns were the key to controlling these sword lights!
"We must destroy this crystal ball to stop the attack of these sword lights!" Gu Sheng frowned and said solemnly.
The Saint of Yaochi took a deep breath, her beautiful eyes flashing with determination, "No matter what, we have to give it a try! Otherwise, we will all die here."
After saying this, she took the lead in launching an attack on the crystal ball. As her palms flew, a series of palm prints filled with immortal energy whizzed towards the crystal ball. Every palm contains powerful power, as if it can destroy all obstacles.
Seeing this, Gu Sheng did not hesitate to activate his spiritual power and join the attack on the crystal ball. His Nine Gale Swords were at their best at this moment, with sword energy tearing apart the surrounding air.
Just when their attack was about to touch the crystal ball, a sudden change occurred. The crystal ball suddenly burst into dazzling light, enveloping the two of them. They only felt the world spinning for a while, and then they appeared in an illusory space.
This space is filled with a hazy atmosphere of ambiguity, as if it is a fantasy specially designed for lovers. Gu Sheng and the Yaochi Saint looked at each other and saw surprise and confusion in each other's eyes.
"What's going on?" Gu Sheng asked doubtfully.
The Saint of Yaochi shook her head, "I don't know, but it seems to be related to the crystal ball. We have to deal with it carefully."
The two had a very tacit understanding and immediately began to explore this illusory space. They found that this space was full of mysterious power, which seemed to be able to stimulate the potential in the human body. Under the influence of this power, they began to practice involuntarily.
Gu Sheng used the Nine Gale Swords and Xiaoyao Immortal Steps, and his figure shuttled through the space like the wind. The Saint of Yaochi displayed Yaochi Holy Realm Kung Fu. Every attack was accompanied by the fairyland vision of Yaochi, with colorful and spectacular scenes.
The two of them practiced while exploring this illusory space. Gradually, they discovered that the speed of each other's cultivation was constantly improving! And their spiritual powers are gradually merging to form a more powerful force!
In this wonderful state of cultivation, Gu Sheng and the Yaochi Saint couldn't help but look at each other. There was an inexplicable light shining in their eyes, as if there was an indescribable emotion quietly growing.
This wonderful feeling made both of them extremely comfortable, as if they had entered the most wonderful state of life.
An inexplicable impulse surged in Gu Sheng's heart. He flashed to the side of the Yaochi Saint and gently held her hand, "Let's cultivate together."
The Saint of Yaochi was slightly startled when she heard this, but soon understood Gu Sheng's intention. She nodded shyly, "Okay."
So the two began a journey of dual cultivation in this illusory space. Their spiritual powers continued to blend and converge, forming a powerful force. This power flows within their bodies, making them feel extremely comfortable and happy.
"Merge!"
During the process of dual cultivation, Gu Sheng and the Yaochi Saint seemed to have entered a wonderful realm. They feel as if they are one with heaven and earth and integrated with the universe. This state makes them feel extremely happy and satisfied, as if they are in a fairyland.
"Whoa!" The light pillars in the sky soared into the sky, there were thousands of strange phenomena, and there were faint divine thunders striking down.
As time goes by, their cultivation level continues to improve. Gu Sheng upgraded two levels in a row and successfully broke through to the sixth level of the Marrow Refining Realm! And the Saint of Yaochi also successfully broke through to the third level of the undersea realm! Her cultivation level is already a level higher than that of Gu Sheng!
When the two woke up from the dual cultivation state, they found themselves back in the cave. The huge crystal ball was shattered, apparently destroyed by the powerful force generated during their dual cultivation.
The original sharp sword light had long disappeared.
Just like there is no light without a light source, those sword lights are just the product of the spiritual power of the crystal ball.
Gu Sheng and Yao Chi Saint looked at each other, their eyes could speak, and their hearts were full of joy and satisfaction. They knew that although this trip to the Taichu Ancient Mine was full of dangers and challenges, it also allowed them to gain unprecedented opportunities and growth.
"We succeeded!" Gu Sheng said excitedly.
Yao Chi Saint nodded, "Yes, we succeeded." Her beautiful eyes flashed with crystal light, and she was obviously moved by this successful experience.
The two hugged each other tightly, enjoying this rare warm moment, but at this moment, the change reappeared!
With this hug, Yao Chi Saint was no longer so far away in Gu Sheng's heart.
"Hahaha! Do you think you can escape by destroying the crystal ball? How naive!" A sinister voice suddenly echoed in the cave, "How can you youngsters like you spy on the secrets of the Taichu Ancient Mine? Now let me show you the real power!"
As soon as the voice fell, the whole cave suddenly shook! It seemed that a powerful force was surging underground! Gu Sheng and Yao Chi Saint's face changed, and they quickly prepared for battle.
I saw a black shadow flying out from the depths of the cave and landing in front of them. This was a mysterious man in a black robe, with a hideous mask on his face, and a strong aura all over his body.
"Who are you? Why do you come to the Taichu Ancient Mine to make trouble?" Gu Sheng asked coldly.
"Humph! After you die, go to the King of Hell to inquire about my identity!" The black-robed man snorted coldly, "But since you have already broken into here, don't think about getting out alive!"
"Boom!"
After that, he flashed and launched a fierce attack on Gu Sheng and Yao Chi Saint! Each blow contained a powerful force, as if it could destroy everything that blocked it!
Gu Sheng and Yao Chi Saintess struggled to resist the attack of the black-robed man. They had just broken through the realm of cultivation and their strength had greatly increased, so they were not afraid of the black-robed man. They joined forces to display powerful skills and fought fiercely with the black-robed man. The scene was extremely thrilling!
After a fierce battle, Gu Sheng and Yao Chi Saintess finally found the flaw of the black-robed man! They joined forces to hit the black-robed man hard! With a muffled "puff", the black-robed man fell to the ground and lost his combat effectiveness...
"We won!" Gu Sheng shouted excitedly.
Yao Chi Saintess also showed a victorious smile, "Yeah! We won!"
The two couldn't help but hug each other... Although this trip to the Taichu Ancient Mine was full of dangers and challenges, it also allowed them to gain unprecedented opportunities, growth, and feelings for each other... (End of this chapter)
