Chapter 343: Adventure in the Desert Oasis

After determining that their destination was Xiwu, Gu Sheng and his party couldn't wait to start their hunting operation. After not eating for several days, their mouths were already salivating. Even if the divine spring could sustain their lives, they could not resist the temptation of delicious food.

In front of you is a desert oasis, which is like an emerald embedded in the yellow sand. In the oasis, there are green grass, fragrant flowers, gurgling springs and chirping birds.

"This is really a paradise on earth!" Wu Tianxiong exclaimed, his eyes scanning around the oasis, looking for traces of prey.

"Indeed, this oasis is like a pearl in the desert." Xing Lie also praised.

On the oasis, exotic flowers and grasses are everywhere, every leaf is green and every flower is beautiful. There is an indescribable aroma permeating the air, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.

"Whoosh -" there was a soft sound, Wu Tianxiong had quick eyes and quick hands, and a sharp arrow came out of the string and shot straight towards a majestic deer. The deer had a strong and vigorous figure, but it could not escape Wu Tianxiong's arrow.

"Haha, look what I hunted!" Wu Tianxiong excitedly raised the stag in his hand, and the deer's eyes were still shining with unwillingness.

Not to be outdone, Xing Lie quickly locked onto a wild horse. The horse's snow-white mane shone silver in the sun, and its hooves were filled with wind as it galloped over the oasis. After a chase, Xing Lie finally captured it.

"What a magnificent wild horse!" Xing Lie stroked the horse's back, his face full of pride.

At the same time, Ying Tianxing also discovered a bloody rabbit. The rabbit's eyes were red, as if they could bleed. He approached cautiously, then made a sudden move to capture the blood rabbit.

"This rabbit is really extraordinary. It can survive in the desert." Ying Tianxing sighed.

Kou Hai found a thousand-year-old blood ginseng in a bush. The blood ginseng is blood red and exudes a faint light. You can tell it is a rare treasure at a glance. He carefully dug it out and prepared it for stew and nourishment.

"Haha, with this thousand-year-old blood ginseng, our food will be even better!" Kou Hai said happily.

Gu Sheng focused on a lightning bird. The bird's wings were flashing with lightning, and it was so fast that it was almost difficult to catch. But Gu Sheng is an extraordinary person after all. After some chasing and fierce fighting, he finally shot down the lightning bird and got several golden eggs.

"This Lightning Bird egg will definitely help!" Gu Sheng held the golden egg, his eyes shining with excitement.

As night fell, the group sat around the campfire, roasting delicious game and stewing thousand-year-old blood ginseng. The fragrance is overflowing and makes people salivate. They were chatting and laughing, enjoying this rare quiet time.

"Come, try my roasted venison!" Wu Tianxiong handed everyone a piece of fragrant venison.

"My wild horse meat also tastes good!" Xing Lie said not to be outdone.

"Try my blood rabbit meat and blood ginseng soup, I guarantee you will have endless aftertaste!" Ying Tianxing and Kou Hai also served their delicacies.

Gu Sheng was quietly roasting the eggs of the Lightning Bird. The eggs were shining with golden light, and you could tell at a glance that they were not ordinary.

"Come, let's all drink together to celebrate our harvest!" Gu Sheng raised his wine glass and said loudly.

Everyone toasted to celebrate, and laughter echoed in the oasis. At this moment, they seemed to have forgotten all their worries and dangers and just enjoyed the good time in front of them.

As the night progresses, the starry sky over the oasis is extraordinarily bright, as if you can reach it at your fingertips. Gu Sheng and his party sat around the campfire, sharing delicious food and interesting things, enjoying the rare tranquility and comfort.

And in the darkness in the distance, a pair of eyes were watching them quietly with an unknown light.

Gu Sheng returned to Yaochi Holy Land, filled with joy. He took out the bottle of precious divine spring, as if holding a rare treasure, and walked cautiously towards the residence of the Holy Maiden of Yaochi.

"Saint Girl, this is the divine spring I brought back for you. I hope it will help you to further your cultivation." Gu Sheng handed the divine spring to the Saint Girl, his eyes shining with anticipation.

The saint took the divine spring and a trace of gratitude flashed in her eyes, "Thank you, Gu Sheng. I will remember this love."

Afterwards, Gu Sheng took out another bottle of divine spring, handed it to the Holy Girl and said: "Holy Girl, could you please distribute this bottle of divine spring to the disciples and elders of Yaochi? Let them taste the sweetness of this divine spring, maybe it can help They practice a helping hand.”

The saint nodded and took the divine spring with a smile, "Don't worry, I will arrange it."

After three days of seclusion, Gu Sheng had just come out of seclusion when he heard noisy sounds coming from outside. When he walked out of the cave, he saw Jiang Yichen from Tiandao Sect coming to the door and looking at him provocatively.

"Gu Sheng, I heard that your cultivation has greatly increased. Do you dare to fight me?" Jiang Yichen said with a sneer.

Gu Sheng raised his eyebrows. He knew that this competition was inevitable, and he also wanted to test his own strength. "Okay, since you are so confident, I will fight with you!"

The two came to the martial arts arena and were surrounded by disciples from Yaochi Holy Land and Tiandao Sect. In the secret world, a vast battlefield appeared before everyone's eyes.

Jiang Yichen flashed and appeared a hundred meters above the ground, "Gu Sheng, let's fight!"

Gu Sheng didn't show any weakness. He walked into the forest and ran quickly along a path. Although he had heard the movement a hundred miles away, he knew that this was the set path. Only by walking along this path could he get closer to Jiang Yichen faster.

"Gu Sheng, stop dawdling, and end the battle quickly!" A voice sounded in his mind. Gu Sheng took a deep breath and tried to break through the air. Unexpectedly, this attempt was successful! His cultivation has entered the navel chakra realm, and ordinary laws can no longer trap him.

In the sky, Jiang Yichen has been waiting for a long time. Seeing Gu Sheng finally appear, he sneered and swung his sword to cut Gu Sheng. The sword energy was crisscrossed, cutting through all obstacles, and the momentum of crushing withered and rotten was daunting. The world of smoke and ruins danced with his sword skills, as if to swallow up the entire martial arts field.

Gu Sheng did not dare to be careless. He urged the skills, and the visions of mountains, rivers, lakes, seas, flowers, birds, and beasts emerged. The golden waves were rolling, and the breath was mighty. His ancient holy body was shining with golden light, as if a golden god of war had descended to the world.

The two faced each other a hundred meters apart, with great momentum. Jiang Yichen's sword technique is a mid-level earth-level skill with amazing power. Each sword seems to be able to cut through the void. Gu Sheng, on the other hand, relied on the Nine Swords of Gale to deal with Jiang Yichen. He was extremely fast, and with the blessing of the Xiaoyao Dengxian Step, his figure was as erratic as a ghost.

The battle entered a white-hot stage, and the two of them went back and forth, showing their unique skills and fatal moves. But as time went on, Gu Sheng gradually showed his advantage. His ancient holy body was indestructible, and Jiang Yichen's attack was fierce but difficult to break his defense.

Finally, in a fierce confrontation, Gu Sheng seized Jiang Yichen's flaw and knocked him to the ground with a palm.

Jiang Yichen struggled to get up, but found that his body was no longer obedient.

He looked at Gu Sheng with reluctance, "You won..." After saying this, he fainted.

The audience around were stunned. They didn't expect the competition to end in this way.

The disciples of Yao Chi cheered for Gu Sheng's victory; the disciples of Tian Dao Zong were frustrated and talked about it.

Su Yao was also watching the game on the spot, and she was worried about Gu Sheng.

When she saw Gu Sheng's victory, she jumped up excitedly, "Gu Sheng! You are awesome!" She shouted loudly to express her joy.

Other Yao Chi disciples also gathered around to congratulate Gu Sheng.

Although the disciples of Tian Dao Zong were unwilling, they could only accept this result helplessly.

Jiang Yichen's cultivation level was as high as the eighth level of the navel wheel realm, but he lost to Gu Sheng, who was only the sixth level of the navel wheel realm. This made them feel very shocked and disappointed.

The facts were already in front of them, and they had to admit that Gu Sheng's strength was indeed above them.

Gu Sheng walked to Jiang Yichen, squatted down and looked at him, "Are you okay?"

Although they were opponents, Gu Sheng did not want to hurt him, he just wanted to spar with him.

Now seeing Jiang Yichen lying on the ground unconscious, he felt a little sorry.

Gu Sheng reached out his hand, wanting to help Jiang Yichen up, but he finally stopped. He took a deep breath and slowly released a wisp of pure spiritual energy, which sprinkled gently on Jiang Yichen's body like a drizzle.

"Ahem..." Jiang Yichen slowly woke up under the nourishment of spiritual energy, a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes, and then gradually regained clarity.

Seeing this, the disciples of Tiandao Sect hurried forward to help Jiang Yichen up. For a time, the entire martial arts field was quiet, and everyone's eyes were focused on these two young talents.

"Brother Jiang, are you okay?" A disciple of Tiandao Sect asked with concern.

Jiang Yichen shook his head and looked at Gu Sheng with complicated eyes, "I'm fine, thank you Brother Gu for showing mercy."

Gu Sheng smiled slightly and bowed his hands and said, "Brother Jiang, thank you. We are just exchanging ideas, not fighting to the death."

These words made everyone present feel a little warm. Although the competition between the two young masters was fierce, they did not form a grudge because of it.

At this time, the elders of Yaochi Holy Land came over and looked at Gu Sheng and Jiang Yichen with satisfaction, "Good, good, both of you are the best of the younger generation, today's battle will surely be a good story."

The elders of Tiandao Sect also nodded, "Indeed, this battle not only tests your strength, but also shows your demeanor and courage."

As the two elders finished speaking, the crowd around the martial arts field began to whisper.

"Gu Sheng is so strong that he can actually defeat Jiang Yichen!"

"Yes, Jiang Yichen is the best of Tiandao Sect, I didn't expect him to lose to Gu Sheng."

"This battle is really wonderful and makes people excited!"

People's discussions came one after another, and they expressed their opinions on the results of this competition. And the news of this competition quickly spread throughout the cultivation world like wings.

In the Yaoguang Holy Land, an elder exclaimed after hearing the news: "Gu Sheng is not a simple boy. He can actually defeat Jiang Yichen. It seems that our previous assessment of him is still too low."

A master of Wuliang Mountain sighed: "These two young people are both talented. The future world of cultivation will definitely be their stage."

A hall master of the Miedao Hall snorted coldly: "Gu Sheng is a bit capable, but it's too early for him to be arrogant in front of our Miedao Hall!"

A patriarch of the Ji family said with a smile: "This Gu Sheng is getting more and more interesting. Maybe we can consider making a good relationship with him."

The discussions of the major sects came one after another, and the names of Gu Sheng and Jiang Yichen became known to more people after this competition.

Their performance not only won recognition and praise from various factions, but also added luster to their respective sects.

This competition is not just a simple exchange of ideas, but also a display of the strength and style of the two young masters.

Their competition is not only about their cultivation level, but also about their mentality, wisdom and courage.

And the result of this competition will also become an important milestone in their future cultivation path.

In the days to come, the names of Gu Sheng and Jiang Yichen will be praised by more people in every corner of the world of cultivation.

Their stories will become legends that inspire generations of cultivators.

And this competition will become an unforgettable experience in their lives, inspiring them to keep moving forward and pursue excellence!

At the same time, a heated discussion was also triggered within the Yaochi Holy Land.

The saint looked at Gu Sheng with eyes full of admiration and expectation, "Gu Sheng is really the pride of our Yaochi Holy Land!"

An elder sighed: "Yes, this boy is not only profound in cultivation, but also mentally tough. He has a promising future!"

Another elder also nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes, we should train him well and make him become the mainstay of our Yaochi Holy Land!"

The saint smiled slightly and said, "That's exactly what I meant."

This competition is not only a celebration of victory, but also a new beginning. It will inspire Gu Sheng and other cultivators to keep moving forward and pursue higher realms and dreams!

After the competition, Gu Sheng did not leave immediately, but came to a quiet bamboo forest with the Yaochi Saint. The two sat opposite each other and began to discuss the mysterious Dream Butterfly Atlas.

"Holy Girl, do you think we will gain new insights when we integrate the Dream Butterfly Atlas into the Jade Girl Sword?" Gu Sheng spoke first, his eyes shining with anticipation.

The Saint of Yaochi smiled slightly and said softly: "It's worth a try. This Dream Butterfly Atlas contains profound philosophy and may complement our Jade Girl Heart Sutra."

After that, the two began to practice with their eyes closed, their hands touching each other, and they jointly understood the mystery of the Dream Butterfly Atlas. As time goes by, they gradually enter a wonderful realm. In their perception, the surrounding environment began to change, as if they were in an illusory yet real world.

In this world, they saw dancing butterflies, each shining with charming brilliance. These butterflies seemed to fly out of the Dream Butterfly Atlas, or they were illusions in their hearts. The two butterflies chased and played with each other, drawing beautiful arcs in the air.

Suddenly, the scene changed and they turned into two tortoises again, swimming freely in the water. The water ripples, and the sun casts mottled light and shadow through the water. Everything looks so peaceful and harmonious. (End of chapter)
