"Then what's your name?" Jade Pool Saintess asked gently.
The baby girl shook her head. "I don't have a name yet. Can my father and mother give me one?"
"Of course." Gu Sheng said with a smile, "You were born from a rough stone, so let's call you 'Shi Ling'."
"Shi Ling? That sounds great!" The baby girl clapped her little hands and laughed happily, "Then my name is Shi Ling!"
Jade Pool Saintess looked at Shi Ling's innocent smile, and felt an inexplicable feeling in his heart. She gently stroked Shi Ling's head and said, "Shi Ling, we will be a family from now on. We will take good care of you."
However, at this moment, a powerful breath suddenly came from the distance. Gu Sheng and Jade Pool Saintess's expressions changed. They felt the hostility and threat contained in that aura.
"No! Someone is coming!" Gu Sheng said in a deep voice, "We have to get out of here quickly!"
Jade Pool Saintess nodded, picked up Shi Ling and Gu Sheng and quickly left the secret garden. Not long after they left, a dark shadow fell on the location where they were before. It was a mysterious man wearing a black robe. He glanced at the surrounding environment coldly, and then a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, "Want to escape? It's not that easy!"
Gu Sheng and Jade Pool Saintess led Shi Ling through the secret realm, trying to get rid of the pursuers behind them. However, that powerful aura always followed them like a shadow, as if they couldn't get rid of it no matter where they fled.
"What should we do? We seem to be locked!" Jade Pool Saintess said anxiously.
A trace of determination flashed in Gu Sheng's eyes. "We can't let them find Shi Ling! I'll break it off, and you take Shi Ling away first!"
"No! I can't let you face danger alone!" Jade Pool Saintess said firmly.
Just as the two were arguing, Shi Ling suddenly said, "Father, mother, you don't have to fight. I have a way to get rid of them."
Gu Sheng and Jade Pool Saintess both looked at Shi Ling in surprise. "What can you do?"
I saw Shi Ling closing his eyes and mumbling words in his small mouth. After a moment, she opened her eyes and pointed in one direction and said, "Go that way, I have a good friend waiting for us there."
Although the two of them were confused, they had no better solution at this time. They followed Shi Ling's guidance and saw a huge cave entrance soon after. Both sides of the cave were covered with exotic flowers and plants, and the fragrance was fragrant. At the entrance of the cave stood a young man dressed in white.
When the young man saw the three Gu Sheng approaching, a gentle smile appeared on his face, "You are finally here."
"Who are you?" Gu Sheng asked warily, "How did you know we would come here?"
The young man smiled, "I am Shi Ling's friend. She sent me a message before, saying that there will be distinguished guests visiting."
Jade Pool Saintess looked at the young man, felt the powerful aura emanating from him, and felt secretly vigilant in his heart. But she also knew that this was not the time to become suspicious, so she asked, "Can you help us get rid of the pursuers behind us?"
"Of course." The young man smiled and nodded, "This is my territory, I guarantee they can't find you."
After saying that, he turned around and led the three of them into the depths of the cave. The inside of the cave was as complicated as a maze, but the young man led them through it with ease. Soon they came to a spacious stone chamber. In the center of the stone chamber was a huge stone tablet engraved with ancient runes.
"You guys take a rest here first." The young man pointed to the stone table and bench in the stone room and said, "I'll go deal with the trouble outside."
Gu Sheng and Jade Pool Saintess looked at each other and nodded. "Thank you very much."
Soon after the boy left, there were roars and screams outside. About a tea time later, the boy came back. There was no blood or dust on his body, as if he had just gone for a walk.
"It's solved." He said lightly, "You can stay here with peace of mind."
Gu Sheng and Jade Pool Saintess both breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that they were able to escape the danger this time thanks to the mysterious boy in front of them. And Shi Ling also happily jumped to the boy's side and hugged his thigh. "Thank you, brother!"
Jade Pool Holy Land, Zhong Ling Yuxiu, has been a holy place in the hearts of immortal cultivators since ancient times.
On this day, shocking news suddenly came from the depths of the Holy Land - while Jade Pool Saintess was excavating an ancient ruins, he accidentally discovered a Primordial Divine Infant sleeping in a jade box.
Although this Divine Infant is sleeping with his eyes closed, his whole body is exuding strong life fluctuations, which is obviously not an ordinary thing. Saintess knew that this matter was not trivial and immediately blocked the news. However, there is no airtight wall in the world. Soon, the news spread throughout Cultivation World like the wind.
The major forces took action upon hearing the news and sent their capable officers one after another to come to Jade Pool Holy Land under various names to find out the truth.
"Saintess, Master Yue Qianshan of Immeasurable Mountain, please see me." A Yaochi disciple hurriedly came to report.
Saintess Liu frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, "If you don't see me, just say that I am practicing in seclusion and don't want to disturb you."
"Yes!" The disciple took the order and left.
However, this is just the beginning. Immediately afterwards, Jiang Yichen of the Heavenly Dao Sect, Elder Lingyue of Shaking Light Holy Land, Venerable Nirvana of the Dao Annihilation Hall, and Ji Daochong of the Ji Family also came to Jade Pool Holy Land. Either explicitly or implicitly, they all expressed their strong interest in Primordial Divine Infant.
Jade Pool Saintess knows that these people are all the best at Cultivation World, and it is not easy to offend any of them. But she knew better that the importance of Primordial Divine Infant was self-evident and she must not let these forces get involved.
"Saintess, Jiang Yichen of the Heavenly Dao Sect would like to see you." Another disciple came to report.
"No." Saintess refused again.
At this time, Jade Pool Saintess was already very upset. She knew that she had to come up with a perfect strategy to deal with this storm. While she was thinking hard, a Dao Body silhouette suddenly flashed in front of her.
"Saintess, let me help you." The person who came was none other than Descendant of Primordial Divine Beast Gu Sheng, who had been secretly protecting Jade Pool Holy Land.
Saintess was overjoyed when he saw this. "Senior Gu Sheng, it's great that you can come! Now all the major forces are eyeing Primordial Divine Infant, what should we do?"
Gu Sheng smiled slightly, "Leave this matter to me. Don't worry, Primordial Divine Infant will never fall into their hands."
After saying that, Gu Sheng disappeared in a flash. Saintess looked at his back and took a deep breath, and the stone in his heart finally fell halfway.
At the same time, outside Jade Pool Holy Land, representatives of the major forces gathered together. They test each other and have their own hidden agendas, all trying to monopolize the supreme opportunity of Primordial Divine Infant.
"Master Yue Qianshan, why did you Immeasurable Mountain come here this time?" Jiang Yichen asked with a half-smile.
Master Yue Qianshan glanced at him. "Of course we are here to exchange cultivation experience with Jade Pool Holy Land. As for other things... Haha, no comment."
Elder Lingyue also spoke, "We Shaking Light Holy Land and Jade Pool Holy Land have a long history of dealing with each other, and we are here to deepen the friendship between the two factions."
"Hmph! Friendship?" Venerable Nirvana sneered, "I think you are all here for Primordial Divine Infant!"
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere suddenly became tense. Although the major forces are tacitly aware of each other, no one wants to be the first to break up.
Suddenly, a Dao Body shadow fell from the sky and landed in front of everyone. It is Gu Sheng!
"Thank you for your hard work coming all the way." Gu Sheng smiled slightly, "But I regret to tell you that Primordial Divine Infant is not at Jade Pool Holy Land."
"What?!" Everyone was shocked when they heard this, "Then where is it?!"
"She has flown to Primordial Beginning Ancient Mine to find her own people." Gu Sheng's mysterious smile was like a pebble on the lake, arousing ripples in people's hearts.
"You are committing fraud! So, did Primordial Divine Infant really fly to Primordial Beginning Ancient Mine? What evidence do you have?" Yue Qianshan's voice was like thunder, exploding in Jade Pool Holy Land. His face turned red, and he was obviously really angry.
Gu Sheng's eyes were as bright as a torch, and his attitude was as firm as iron. "I, Gu Sheng, have always said the truth. Believe it or not, it's up to you."
Just when the conflict was about to break out, Little Nun Jingyin gently pulled Yue Qianshan's sleeve, and her voice flowed like a clear spring. "Uncle Master, wait a minute. Brother Gu's eyes are clear, and what he said should be true."
Jingyin's words seemed to have a magical power, which slightly calmed down Yue Qianshan's anger that was about to explode. But the atmosphere in the field was still tense, as if a tight string could break at any time.
At this moment, several monks who didn't know the heights of heaven and earth jumped out. They obviously thought that Gu Sheng was deliberately deceiving and wanted to take advantage of it.
"Hmph! Do you think you can deceive us like this? Primordial Divine Infant Such an important treasure, how can we give up so easily!" One of the monks shouted loudly and rushed towards Gu Sheng.
Gu Sheng A flash of coldness flashed in his eyes, his body moved, and he appeared in front of the monk in an instant. I saw a flash of golden light, and Gu Sheng's Primordial Saint Body body started to move. He was covered in golden light, like a golden god of war. He struck out with a palm, and his golden palm touched the monk's chest, instantly knocking him back several steps.
"If you want to run wild, it depends on whether you have the ability!" Gu Sheng's voice was like the north wind in the cold winter, shocking everyone around him.
Seeing this, other monks who were ready to make a move chose to retreat. They know that Gu Sheng is not someone who makes false threats. And Yue Qianshan, under Jingyin's persuasion, also chose to endure it temporarily.
At this moment, a powerful aura suddenly fell from the sky and enveloped the entire Jade Pool Holy Land. A man in black stood in the sky, scanning the crowd below with cold eyes.
"Hahaha! No matter how hard you try, you can't find anything. It takes no effort to get here! Primordial Divine Infant, I am determined to get it!" The voice of the man in black was cold and arrogant, like a poisonous snake, which made people fearful.
Gu Sheng's eyes flashed with solemnity, and he knew that this storm was far from over. The whereabouts of Primordial Divine Infant seem to have become more confusing.
After the man in black appeared, the atmosphere instantly became tense. Gu Sheng and Jade Pool Saintess looked at each other and saw the firmness and determination in each other's eyes. They knew that they must unite at this time to fight against this sudden and powerful enemy.
"Who are you? Why are you here to cause trouble?" Gu Sheng asked coldly, his voice like a sharp sword pointing directly at the heart of the man in black.
The man in black just snorted coldly and did not answer Gu Sheng's question. He flashed and disappeared in an instant. The next moment he appeared in front of Gu Sheng and slapped Gu Sheng with his palm. This palm was powerful and heavy, obviously trying to defeat Gu Sheng in one fell swoop.
Gu Sheng was well prepared. He dodged the palm in a flash, and at the same time stabbed the man in black with his backhand sword. The sword light was like a dragon, going straight to the throat of the man in black. When the man in black saw this, he quickly retreated and waved a palm, colliding with Gu Sheng's sword light.
There was a loud "bang" sound, and the two attacks collided in the air, bursting out with dazzling light.
"What a skill! No wonder you dare to be so arrogant!" The man in black sneered and disappeared again.
This time his attack was more fierce and cruel, with strong killing intent in every palm.
But Gu Sheng was not afraid. He used Gale Nine Swords to start a fierce battle with the man in black.
The sword energy was flowing freely, and the two of them had fought for dozens of rounds.
Yue Qianshan and others also joined the battle one after another, fighting fiercely with the men brought by the man in black.
The entire Jade Pool Holy Land was enveloped by this sudden battle.
Although the man in black is powerful, Gu Sheng is not an ordinary person.
The two were fighting from the sky to the ground, and it was hard to tell the winner for a while.
As time goes by, Gu Sheng gradually shows his advantages.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"
His swordsmanship became more and more powerful, each sword aimed directly at the vital part of the man in black.
Although the man in black is powerful, he seems a little stretched in front of Gu Sheng's Gale Nine Swords.
"Chi!"
In a fierce confrontation, Gu Sheng stabbed the man in black in the chest with his sword.
"Ah!"
The man in black screamed and took a few steps back.
He stared at Gu Sheng with an angry face, as if he wanted to eat him alive.
"Very good! You succeeded in irritating me! Next, I will let you know what despair is!"
The man in black roared angrily, forming seals with his hands, and a powerful aura emanated from him.
Everyone felt an invisible pressure covering the entire battlefield, making them almost breathless.
Gu Sheng did not flinch. He held Jade Maiden Sword tightly, golden light flowing all over his body, ready to face the next wave of attacks from the man in black.
He knew that this battle was far from over, and he had to persist in order to protect the safety of Jade Pool Holy Land and Primordial Divine Infant.
The man in black flashed and launched another fierce attack on Gu Sheng.
This time, his attacks were even more bizarre and unpredictable, making them difficult to guard against.
But Gu Sheng did not panic. He used Shadow Concealment Art and Carefree Immortal Step to deal with the man in black.
Every attack was skillfully avoided by him. At the same time, he constantly launched counterattacks in an attempt to break the defense of the men in black.
The man in black is extremely powerful, and his defense is as impenetrable as an iron wall.
Although Gu Sheng's attack was fierce, it was still unable to break through the defense of the man in black.
As time passed by, the battle between the two entered a fierce stage.
The atmosphere in the field became increasingly tense, as if a bomb might explode at any time.
At this moment, Jade Pool Saintess suddenly joined the battle.
Her figure is elegant, like a fairy descending to earth. Every attack is accompanied by the fairyland vision of Yaochi, which makes people's eyes bright.
