Breaking Off the Engagement

This secret art could actually draw upon the power of heaven and earth! But he quickly calmed down.

"Would the Tantai Clan offend a top-tier holy land for my sake?"

"Of course not."

Ying chuckled softly.

"So this is a transaction between you and me."

The candle flame crackled.

Gu Sheng suddenly recalled the mocking looks he had received when he first entered Great Desolation City, when people laughed at his ignorance of the immensity of heaven and earth.

Now, he was already the Third Pavilion Master of Linlang Pavilion!

"It won't take that long."

He closed his five fingers, and the jade slip turned to dust.

"I accept."

Ying seemed to have expected this. The vertical mark between her brows suddenly split open, and a drop of essence blood floated out, transforming into a blood-colored seed.

"This is the true inheritance of the secret art. Pavilion Master Gu, please keep it safe."

Without hesitation, Gu Sheng absorbed the seed into his sea of consciousness. In an instant, a violent torrent of information swept over him—

"Reverse the true qi, invert the meridians, pass through the thirty-six death acupoints."

Cold sweat seeped from his forehead, and his body trembled uncontrollably.

How was this cultivation? This was clearly a suicide method!

A quarter of an hour later, Gu Sheng abruptly opened his eyes, sharp light flashing within them.

"What a method to defy heaven and change fate!"

Ying was already gone from the Secret Chamber. Only several drops of blood on the floor, not yet dry, proved that she had been there.

Gu Sheng suppressed the shock in his heart.

This secret art was insane, but it was indeed feasible. Still... he needed to make thorough preparations.

"Myriad Spirits Palace."

He murmured to himself, then rose and pushed open the door.
