Chapter 309 Gu Xiaojiang's Experience
"Gu Sheng, are you about to break through?" Su Ling asked in surprise.
Gu Sheng closed his eyes tightly, but the expression on his face revealed his excitement at the moment. "Yes, I feel the call of the secret realm under the sea. This time, I want to step into a new realm."
As the black hole continues to expand, a mysterious world begins to emerge. There are mountains, rivers, lakes and seas, fairy flowers and flowers, exotic animals and birds... It is simply a fairyland-like existence. This is the secret realm of the seabed in the human body, a fantasy world constructed of aura.
At this moment, Tiandao Sect also caused an uproar. Everyone walked out of the cave one after another and looked up at the sky. I saw a secret world emerging in the sky, emitting bright light. All kinds of exotic beasts and birds are soaring and flying in it, which is simply dizzying.
"Oh my God! Has someone broken through the undersea realm?" the leader of Tiandao Sect exclaimed. Such visions are rare in the history of Tiandao Sect.
"Who is it? Can you break through in the secret realm under the sea?"
The disciples were talking a lot, their eyes full of envy and admiration. They knew that the person who could cause such a vision must be a unique genius.
And it is undoubtedly the sect's glory that such a genius can appear in Tiandao Sect. Jiang Yichen also stood in the crowd and watched all this silently. As the first disciple of Tiandao Sect, he has always attracted much attention, but at this moment, he was deeply attracted by the secret world floating in the sky.
He knew that this was not a vision he could induce, but he was also sincerely happy for the breakthroughr.
"Who is it?"
Jiang Yichen secretly guessed. He hopes to communicate and learn from this genius and make progress together. As the secret world gradually dissipated, the figures of Gu Sheng and Su Ling also appeared in everyone's sight. They stood hand in hand with the joy of success on their faces.
"Congratulations to both of you on your successful breakthrough!"
The leader of Tiandao Sect was the first to step forward and congratulate. He knew that these two young geniuses would be the hope of the future of Tiandao Sect.
It's a pity that Gu Sheng is not a disciple of Tiandao Sect.
Jiang Yichen also stepped forward to shake hands with Gu Sheng and Su Ling.
"Congratulations to you! It's really admirable to be able to cause such a vision!"
Jiang Yichen said sincerely. He hopes to learn more from these two geniuses.
Gu Sheng and Su Ling also humbly responded to everyone's congratulations.
They know that there is still a long way to go and they need to practice harder to go further.
Su Ling looked at Gu Sheng, her eyes shining with admiration: "Gu Sheng, you really did it."
Next, it’s Gu Sheng and Su Ling’s journey to the Jade Girl’s Heart Sutra, joining Gu Xiaojiang, an old acquaintance, for hunting and insertion.
After leaving Tiandao Sect, both Gu Sheng and Su Ling felt that they still had unfinished business. Although the three days of training in the secret seabed were short-lived, they left a deep impression on them. As a result, the two met to go to a more mysterious place - the forbidden fruit secret realm.
The Forbidden Fruit Secret Realm is a holy place visited by many couples with profound cultivation. This place is secretive and beautiful, like a fairyland on earth. When Gu Sheng and Su Ling stepped into this secret realm, they were deeply shocked by the sight before them.
There are fairy grasses everywhere, each one emitting a faint fluorescent light, like an elf in nature. Hundreds of birds flock to the phoenix, and various exotic birds soar in the sky. Their songs are like the sounds of nature, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.
In the center of this fairyland, there grows a black apple tree, full of black apples. This is the legendary forbidden fruit.
"It's so beautiful here!" Su Ling exclaimed, her eyes shining with excitement.
"Yes, this is indeed a good place to practice." Gu Sheng nodded in agreement.
The two understood and immediately began their practice. They chose a quiet place, sat opposite each other, and began to study the Jade Girl Heart Sutra.
With the blessing of the Undersea Realm, the two people's cultivation levels improved rapidly. The Jade Girl Heart Sutra circulates in their bodies, creating an illusory space. In this space, they transformed into a beautiful couple, like butterflies that happened to dance, caressing each other and dancing gracefully.
In the illusory space, Gu Sheng and Su Ling held hands like a couple in love. There seemed to be a steady stream of electricity flowing between their slender palms. This current is not only the power generated by the Jade Girl Heart Sutra they practiced, but also the emotional exchange between them.
As their practice deepened, the two had more and more physical contact. From holding hands to hugging tightly, they entered a wonderful and comfortable situation. In the process, their feelings have also been greatly sublimated.
"Gu Sheng, I feel that our Jade Girl Heart Sutra has reached a new level." Su Ling said softly.
"Yes, I feel it too. Our cultivation and state of mind have been greatly improved." Gu Sheng responded.
The conversation between the two was filled with joy and satisfaction. They knew that this trip to the Forbidden Fruit Secret Realm had yielded a huge harvest. Not only had their cultivation improved, but more importantly, their relationship had become deeper.
At this time, in the illusory space, their incarnations became more real and vivid, as if they were themselves. They danced in the space, enjoying this wonderful moment, and the Jade Girl's Heart Sutra was also revealed in their practice. Brilliant, finally accomplished.
When the two people exited the illusory space, they looked at each other and smiled, their eyes shining with satisfaction and happiness. They knew that this cultivation journey was successful.
"Thank you, Gu Sheng, for going through this with me." Su Ling said gratefully.
"Su Ling, I should be the one to thank you. It is you who let me experience such a wonderful journey of cultivation." Gu Sheng responded.
The two hugged each other tightly and enjoyed this rare warm moment.
In the following days, Gu Sheng and Su Ling traveled together in the Northern Territory.
One day, the two came to a vast grassland, where the wind blew the grass and the cattle and sheep were seen, a peaceful and harmonious scene.
"Gu Sheng, look at how beautiful the scenery here is!" Su Ling pointed to the mountains in the distance and the cattle and sheep nearby.
"It is indeed beautiful, but we can't forget to practice." Gu Sheng said with a smile, "Why don't we have a discussion here?"
"Okay! That's what I mean." Su Ling nodded and agreed.
The two then stood opposite each other and started a fierce discussion. Gu Sheng used the Nine Swords of Gale, the sword light flashed, and attacked Su Ling like a storm. And Su Ling's figure was elegant, like a butterfly, shuttling in the sword light to avoid.
On the grassland, the sword energy was like a dragon, the wind was like a tiger, Gu Sheng and Su Ling intertwined their sword moves, their figures were like the wind, performing a gorgeous sword dance.
Time passed quickly, and the quiet battle picture was suddenly broken by a solemn atmosphere.
"Hey, did you feel it? There seems to be movement over there." Su Ling frowned slightly and looked into the distance.
Gu Sheng's mind swept, and his face changed slightly, "It's the cavalry, they are chasing someone."
"Should we go and see?" Su Ling asked.
"I didn't want to meddle in other people's business, but that person..." Gu Sheng's eyes suddenly froze, "That's Gu Xiaojiang!"
Su Ling also recognized the figure being chased, "Your friend?"
"More than a friend, he is my brother since childhood." Gu Sheng's eyes were firm, "We have to save him."
The two said no more, and their figures flashed, turning into two streams of light and rushing towards the group of cavalry warriors.
When the cavalry warriors saw someone intervene, the leader sneered: "Humph, want to save people? Ask the swords in our hands first if they agree!"
Gu Sheng glanced at the cavalry with cold eyes, and the murderous intent emanating from them made him more determined. "Su Ling, you deal with the others, and leave the leading second-level warrior to me."
"Okay!" Su Ling responded, and her figure was as light as snow to meet the other cavalry.
Gu Sheng faced the second-level cavalry warrior directly. The warrior waved a big knife and rushed towards Gu Sheng with a fierce murderous intent. Gu Sheng took a deep breath and urged the seabed realm. The aura around him was surging, and the mountains, rivers, lakes, flowers, birds, and beasts were all about to emerge. He used the nine swords of the wind, and swung the sword. The sword energy was like a dragon, and went straight to the opponent's vitals.
"Humph, a trifling trick!" The other warrior snorted coldly and waved his sword to resist.
"Clang!"
When the two forces collided, the smile on his face suddenly solidified. Gu Sheng's sword energy actually penetrated his defense and went straight to his vitals. He was horrified and quickly stepped back a few steps before he could stabilize his body.
"Who are you? How could you hurt me?" the warrior asked in astonishment.
"Gu Sheng." Gu Sheng spat out two words coldly and swung his sword again.
At the same time, Su Ling also fought with other cavalrymen. Her Su Nu sword shuttled through the enemy group like a spirit snake, and every sword strike was extremely accurate. Under her swordsmanship, one cavalryman after another fell.
Seeing this, Gu Xiaojiang also struggled to stand up. Although he was seriously injured, he still tried his best to rush towards the second-level warrior. The warrior was being forced to retreat step by step by Gu Sheng, and he had no time to care about him.
Suddenly he felt a chill on his back and looked back to see that Gu Xiaojiang was already close at hand.
"Ah!" He screamed in horror but it was too late. Gu Xiaojiang stabbed him in the heart and ended his life.
Seeing this, the other cavalrymen fled in panic, but Gu Sheng and Su Ling had no intention of letting them go. The two of them joined forces to chase and soon killed all the remaining cavalrymen.
After the battle, Gu Sheng helped Gu Xiaojiang up and asked with concern: "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine, thank you for arriving in time." Gu Xiaojiang said gratefully.
"We are brothers, no need to thank you." Gu Sheng said with a smile, "How did you get into trouble with these people?"
"Well, it's a long story..." Gu Xiaojiang sighed and began to tell his story. It turned out that he had found a treasure in a secret place before, but these cavalry warriors found out that they were greedy for the treasure and chased them all the way here.
"These guys are damned!" Su Ling said angrily.
"Forget it, they have already received the punishment they deserve." Gu Sheng said, "Let's leave here quickly now to avoid any more trouble."
The wind on the grassland gently brushed the cheeks of the three people, with a hint of sadness of parting and joy of reunion. Gu Sheng, Su Ling and Gu Xiaojiang smiled at each other and walked hand in hand into the bustling market not far away.
"Which restaurant around here has the strongest wine?" Gu Sheng asked proudly.
"Zuixianju, the wine there is said to be able to intoxicate even immortals." Gu Xiaojiang responded with a smile.
The three of them came to Zuixianju, and a strong aroma of wine came to their noses. They found a seat by the window and ordered the best wine and a few side dishes in the restaurant.
"Come on, cheers for our reunion!" Gu Sheng raised his glass and proposed.
The three of them drank it all in one gulp. The wine went into their throats, and the hot feeling went straight to the bottom of their hearts, but it also brought an indescribable joy.
"Gu Sheng, you must have experienced a lot of things in your travels over the years, right?" Gu Xiaojiang asked curiously.
"Haha, that's natural. But what about you? After the unification of the Chiyun Continent, why did you choose to come out and take risks?" Gu Sheng asked back.
Gu Xiaojiang put down his wine glass, a trace of vicissitudes flashed in his eyes, "Although the Chiyun Continent has become much more peaceful after the great unification, I always feel that the road of martial arts is restricted. So, I also joined the adventure army and came to this Xuanyuan Sea."
He paused and continued: "Over the years, I have been a miner, a gardener, and later became a golden guard in the Golden Kingdom. However, I always feel that these are not what I want. So, I chose to go out for training and find my own martial arts path."
After hearing this, Gu Sheng couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "Xiaojiang, you have experienced so much, which really makes me look at you with new eyes. Your current cultivation has reached the ninth level of the marrow refining realm, which is really amazing!"
"No, no, I am still far behind you." Gu Xiaojiang said modestly.
Su Ling listened to the conversation between the two quietly, pouring wine for them from time to time, and always had a faint smile on her face.
After three rounds of drinking, Gu Sheng suddenly asked, "Xiao Jiang, you were chased by those cavalrymen this time. Was it because you found some treasure?"
Gu Xiaojiang smiled bitterly, "It was indeed because of a treasure. I found a thousand-year-old spiritual herb in a secret realm. I wanted to pick it and exchange it for some cultivation resources, but I didn't expect to be discovered by those cavalrymen. They coveted my treasure and chased me all the way here."
At this point, a trace of anger and unwillingness appeared on his face.
"These guys are so hateful! But fortunately you met us." Gu Sheng patted Gu Xiaojiang on the shoulder and comforted him, "Don't worry, with us brothers here in the future, no one will want to bully you!"
Su Ling half-jokingly said, "Yes, Gu Xiaojiang, you will come with us in the future. The three of us will go to Zhongzhou together!"
After hearing this, Gu Xiaojiang felt a warm current in his heart, and he nodded deeply, "Okay! Let's go together!"
Gu Sheng invited Gu Xiaojiang and Su Ling to visit the Yaochi Holy Land, and the two did not refuse.
After being guests for a while, Su Ling and Gu Xiaojiang left separately.
Everyone has his own opportunity, which needs to be experienced and opened by individuals.
After recuperating in Yaochi Holy Land for a period of time, Gu Sheng also set foot in the Northern Territory.
Since breaking through and entering the secret realm under the sea, his demand for spirit stones and various natural treasures has increased sharply, and the grass vine demon soul also needs more natural treasures.
He must collect some resources quickly, otherwise he will be left further and further behind by the latest rising geniuses such as Jiang Yichen. (End of this chapter)
