Chapter 320 Peacock King Seizes Fruit

The Peacock King looked at Gu Sheng, with a hint of admiration in his eyes. He nodded slowly and said, "You have good talent and a promising future. Practice well and don't let me down."

After he finished speaking, he put the Demon Emperor's heart into the storage ring, and then waved his finger, leaving all the remaining Shenquan fairy grass and elixir in the furnace to Gu Sheng.

"These are yours, I hope they can help you reach a higher level." The Peacock King said with a smile, then turned around and turned into a gorgeous peacock light and disappeared on the spot.

Gu Sheng watched the Peacock King leave, his heart full of gratitude and respect. He took a deep breath and began to continue refining the natural treasures in the furnace.

There are many natural treasures, and each one contains powerful energy. Gu Sheng's mind moved, and he released the grass vine demon soul, allowing it to quickly corrode these natural treasures.

"Zizizizi..." As the grass vine demon soul devoured, various natural treasures disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye. The grass vine demon soul also continued to grow in the process, its length gradually increased, and its color began to change.

Soon after, the grass vine demon soul turned out to be more than 5,000 meters long, winding and circling in the furnace like a giant dragon. Its color also changed from the original yellow to dark purple, exuding a mysterious and powerful aura.

At the same time, Gu Sheng also felt the changes in his body. His ancient holy body became harder under the nourishment of the grass vine demon soul, as if it was cast by golden light. He stretched out his palm, and saw golden light flowing on his palm, as if he was wearing a layer of golden armor.

"Is this the power of the ancient holy body?" Gu Sheng muttered to himself, and he felt that his power was rapidly increasing.

At this moment, there was a sudden movement in the depths of the underground palace. A powerful breath was approaching here rapidly, as if some terrible existence was awakening.

Gu Sheng frowned, and an ominous premonition surged in his heart. He immediately put away the furnace and the grass vine demon soul, and looked vigilantly into the depths of the underground palace.

"Hahahaha... I didn't expect there would be such delicious food here!" A gloomy voice echoed in the underground palace, and then a black shadow flew out from the depths of the underground palace and rushed straight towards Gu Sheng.

Gu Sheng dodged the attack of the black shadow. He looked closely and found that the black shadow was actually a huge black bat, whose cultivation reached the third level of the seabed realm. Its eyes flashed with blood-red light, and it looked extremely ferocious.

"It turned out to be a bat demon!" Gu Sheng snorted coldly, "Since you are looking for death, then I will fulfill your wish!"

As he said this, he activated his skills, and his golden palm slapped out and blasted towards the bat demon. However, this bat demon was quite powerful, and it dodged Gu Sheng's attack with a flap of its wings.

"Hahahaha... Boy, you angered me!"

The bat demon roared and pounced on Gu Sheng again. The two started a fierce battle in the underground palace.

Although Gu Sheng had just broken through, his strength had greatly increased, and with the blessing of the ancient holy body, he was not afraid of this bat demon. He urged the nine swords of the wind to cut at the bat demon.

"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh..."

Nine golden sword qi cut through the sky and headed straight for the bat demon. Although the bat demon was agile, it had to avoid the sharp sword qi.

"Ah——"

A scream sounded and a huge wound appeared on the bat demon's body when it was hit by one of the sword qi. It looked at Gu Sheng in horror as if it was looking at a monster.

Gu Sheng did not give it a chance to breathe and slapped out his golden palm again to blast it. This time he did not hold back and directly killed the bat demon on the ground.

After killing the bat demon, Gu Sheng let out a long breath. He felt that the power in his body was gradually stabilizing and the ancient holy body became stronger.

"This time it's really a blessing in disguise!" Gu Sheng sighed as he looked into the depths of the underground palace with full expectations in his heart.

This time, Gu Sheng broke through to the second level of the seabed realm, the ancient holy body became stronger, and the length of the grass vine became more than 5,000 meters.

It can be said that the harvest is full.

"Boom——"

Thunder rolled in the sky. A figure cut through the sky, like a falling meteor, and fell straight into the Yaochi Holy Land.

Gu Sheng, the pride of the Yaochi Holy Land, returned with the cultivation of the second layer of the seabed realm after training in the Taichu Ancient Mine, causing a sensation in the entire holy land. His return not only brought a breakthrough in cultivation, but also brought back a batch of rare treasures.

"Junior Brother Gu is back!"

"Hello, Junior Brother Gu!"

In the holy land, cheers came one after another, and the disciples rushed to surround him, wanting to see Gu Sheng's style.

Gu Sheng smiled slightly. He was tall, handsome, and had a heroic spirit between his eyebrows. At this moment, he was like a hero who had returned victorious.

"Everyone, be quiet. I have gained something in the Taichu Ancient Mine this time, and I am willing to share it with all my fellow disciples." Gu Sheng said loudly, his voice full of energy, and spread throughout the Yaochi Holy Land.

Then, he distributed the treasures brought back from the Taichu Ancient Mine to the disciples of the holy land one by one. Each treasure contained a powerful force, which made the disciples ecstatic.

"Junior Brother Gu, is this for us?" A disciple asked excitedly, holding the treasure in his hand.

"Yes, you are all the pride of my Yao Chi Holy Land, and these treasures should be shared by you." Gu Sheng said with a smile.

After distributing the treasures, Gu Sheng walked towards the Yao Chi Saint. She was dressed in white, elegant and refined, like a fairy descending to the earth.

"Saint, this is for you." Gu Sheng handed over a treasure that shone with mysterious light - the Qionghua Fairy Bottle.

The Saint took the Qionghua Fairy Bottle, and a trace of surprise and joy flashed in her eyes: "Thank you, Junior Brother Gu."

"You are too polite, Saint. You have paid a lot for the Holy Land. This is what you deserve." Gu Sheng said.

Su Yao also came over, holding four water spirit beads in her hands, with expectation in her eyes: "Junior Brother Gu, these are the water spirit beads I collected. I only need three more to open the secret realm."

"Don't worry, Junior Sister Su, I will keep an eye out for you." Gu Sheng said with a smile.

As night fell, the lights in the Yao Chi Holy Land were bright, and a grand banquet was being held. The disciples laughed and celebrated Gu Sheng's return and breakthrough in cultivation.

However, in this joyful atmosphere, there was an undercurrent.

"Gu Sheng, this child, should not be underestimated." Elder Bixiao whispered, "I am afraid that his gains in the Taichu Ancient Mine are far more than what we have seen."

"Humph, so what? After all, he is from our Yao Chi Holy Land. Will he be bad for us?" Elder Shuangtian retorted.

"That being said, this child is growing too fast, and we have to be on guard." The previous elder sighed.

The banquet continued, but Gu Sheng felt something strange. He looked around and found that several eyes were lingering on him. He was moved, but he continued to drink and laugh with his disciples without making a sound.

After the banquet, Gu Sheng came to the back mountain alone. The moonlight was like water, sprinkled on his resolute face, reflecting a different style.

"Junior Brother Gu." A soft voice broke the tranquility of the night. It was Su Yao.

"Junior Sister Su, it's so late, why are you here?" Gu Sheng turned around and asked with a smile.

"I came to find you." Su Yao walked to Gu Sheng and looked up at him, "Junior Brother Gu, you must have experienced a lot in the Taichu Ancient Mine? Can you tell me about it?"

Gu Sheng looked at Su Yao's clear eyes, and his heart moved, and he told her all kinds of adventures in the Taichu Ancient Mine. He told how he merged with the ancient holy body, how he broke through his cultivation, and how he got these treasures. Su Yao listened with relish, with admiration in her eyes.

"Junior Brother Gu, you are so amazing." Su Yao sincerely praised, "When can I be as strong as you?"

"As long as you work hard to practice, you will surpass me one day." Gu Sheng encouraged, "Remember, there is no shortcut to practice, only by keeping your feet on the ground can you go further."

When the two were chatting happily, suddenly a green shadow fell from the sky and landed in front of them. The man was dressed in green, with a cold face and a cold light in his eyes.

"Gu Sheng, what crime should you be charged for hiding treasures?" The green-clothed man said coldly.

Gu Sheng frowned: "Who are you? What evidence do you have that I hide treasures?"

"Humph, the treasures you got in the Taichu Ancient Mine are far more than those distributed to disciples, right? Hand them over, and I can spare your life." The green-clothed man threatened.

Gu Sheng sneered: "Want treasures? Then it depends on whether you have the ability."

As he said, he moved and attacked the green-clothed man. The green-clothed man was not to be outdone, and the two fought together in an instant. Su Yao was terrified watching from the side, but could not help.

During the fight, Gu Sheng gradually gained the upper hand. Seeing that the situation was not good, the man in green turned around and fled. Gu Sheng chased him closely, but suddenly felt dizzy. It turned out that the man in green released the magic potion. He secretly said in his heart that it was not good, but it was too late.

When Gu Sheng woke up again, he found that he had been tied up in a cave. The man in green was standing in front of him, looking at him coldly.

"Tell me, where did you hide the rest of the treasure?" The man in green asked.

Gu Sheng smiled: "Do you think you won? Let me tell you, those treasures are no longer with me."

The green-clothed man was stunned: "What do you mean?"

"When I left the Taichu Ancient Mine, I had already moved most of the treasures to a safe place." Gu Sheng said calmly, "Even if you kill me, you can't get what you want."

The green-clothed man's eyes flashed with anger and unwillingness: "Do you think I will believe your nonsense?"

"Believe it or not." Gu Sheng shrugged, "Anyway, I have told you."

Just then, a burst of footsteps suddenly came from outside the cave. Then, a sword flashed, and the green-clothed man fell to the ground. It turned out that the elders of the Yaochi Holy Land arrived in time to rescue Gu Sheng.

After some explanation, the elders learned the truth of the matter. It turned out that the green-clothed man was Elder Bixiao. She thought that Gu Sheng had embezzled all the treasures, which caused this misunderstanding. The elders apologized to Gu Sheng and praised his wit and courage.

In addition to practicing every day, Gu Sheng accompanied the fairies of Yaochi Holy Land to travel around the mountains and rivers. His life was so comfortable.

Gu Sheng's Grass Vine Demon Soul

"Swoosh--"

Gu Sheng's Grass Vine Demon Soul was like a green spirit snake, circling and dancing around him. Every grass vine was full of vitality, as if it contained infinite power. As his mind moved, the grass vines changed instantly, turning into pieces of green lotus. The green lotus bloomed, the green leaves were like a cover, and the petals were like snow, beautiful and mysterious.

"Is this the grass vine turning into lotus?" The fairies of Yaochi Holy Land were amazed. They surrounded Gu Sheng, their eyes full of curiosity and admiration.

"Yes, this is the new ability of my grass vine demon soul." Gu Sheng explained with a smile, "These green lotuses are not only highly corrosive, but also can spread rapidly and devour everything."

Hearing this, the fairies took a few steps back, fearing that they would be touched by the green lotus. But at the same time, they were also looking forward to Gu Sheng's next show.

Gu Sheng's mind moved, and the green lotus instantly grew wildly, like a green flood beast, rushing towards a small hill in front. Although the hill was not high, it was covered with various plants and was lush and green. However, under the corrosion of the green lotus, these plants withered and disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"It's amazing! This is simply a green disaster!" A fairy exclaimed.

"Yes, Junior Brother Gu's grass vine demon soul is really amazing!" Another fairy echoed.

Gu Sheng smiled slightly and didn't say much. He knew that this was just the tip of the iceberg of his grass vine demon soul. As his cultivation level improved, the ability of the grass vine demon soul would become even stronger.

"Om--"

The entrance to the trial secret realm slowly opened, a ray of light flashed, and the figures of Gu Sheng and Su Yao disappeared on the spot and entered this mysterious space.

Inside the secret realm, the mist was lingering, and there was an ancient and mysterious atmosphere all around. Gu Sheng looked around vigilantly, and he could feel the powerful demon beast hidden in this space.

"Junior Brother Gu, the atmosphere here is so strange." Su Yao followed closely beside Gu Sheng and whispered.

"Well, be careful." Gu Sheng warned, "The monsters here are not easy to deal with."

As soon as the voice fell, a deafening roar came, making the ears of the two people buzz. Then, a huge Thunder Sea Black Turtle appeared from the mist, with lightning flashing on the hard shell on its back, and its eyes flashing with sharp light.

"Is this our first opponent?" Gu Sheng muttered to himself, with a flash of excitement in his eyes.

"Junior Brother Gu, this Thunder Sea Black Turtle looks so powerful." Su Yao said with some concern.

"It's okay, I'm here." Gu Sheng smiled and comforted her. At the same time, his mind moved, and the grass vine demon soul instantly surged out of his body, turning into pieces of green lotus, sweeping towards the Thunder Sea Black Turtle.

The corrosive power of the green lotus is terrifying and powerful. Although the Thunder Sea Black Turtle tried its best to resist, it was eventually completely swallowed by the green lotus.

"So powerful!" Su Yao exclaimed.

Gu Sheng smiled slightly: "This is just the beginning, let's keep going."

The two carefully passed through the fog and soon encountered other monsters. Iron-eating pterosaurs, giant frogs, jungle lightning wolves... Each one is a powerful existence in the seabed realm. But in front of Gu Sheng's grass vine demon soul, they were defeated one after another.

Whenever encountering a powerful monster, Su Yao always bravely stands by Gu Sheng's side, using her strength of the ninth level of the marrow refining realm and four water spirit beads to fight the monster. Although her strength is far from Gu Sheng's, her tenacity and courage have won Gu Sheng's praise. (End of this chapter)
