Ling Xiao The last competition in the secret realm is undoubtedly the finale of the entire sorority. The showdown between Gu Sheng and Jiang Yichen has already aroused endless expectations in people's hearts.
Jiang Yichen, that young master in fluttering white clothes, his cultivation is unfathomable. The Dustless Sword in his hand is said to be able to split mountains and ridges, and slash the sky with a sword. And Gu Sheng, with the sixth level cultivation of the Marrow Refining Realm, challenged this seemingly impossible duel. He has Primordial Saint Body, Gale Nine Swords, and Red Vine Demonic Soul that is hard to detect.
On the fighting field, the two stood opposite each other, and the atmosphere was so tense that it seemed like it could ignite sparks.
"Gu Sheng, do you really want to be my enemy?" Jiang Yichen asked calmly, with an inexplicable light shining in his eyes.
Gu Sheng nodded resolutely. "Brother Jiang, your cultivation is indeed unfathomable, but I, Gu Sheng, have never given up easily. Today, let us compete in this competition field!"
Before he finished speaking, Gu Sheng moved and rushed towards Jiang Yichen. His speed was extremely fast, like a bolt of lightning flashing across the sky. Jiang Yichen, on the other hand, stood calmly on the spot, blocking Gu Sheng's fierce attack with a slight wave of Dustless Sword in his hand.
The two had a fierce confrontation on the fighting field. Gu Sheng's skills are endless, and Gale Nine Swords, Shadow Concealment Art, Carefree Immortal Step and other stunts take turns, which is dazzling. Jiang Yichen, on the other hand, used static braking, and every time it made a move, it perfectly defused Gu Sheng's offensive.
Outside the competition venue, the melon-eating crowd was excited and talking one after another.
"Gu Sheng is so strong! His skills are so powerful!"
"Yeah, I didn't expect him to be able to fight Jiang Yichen so hard."
"But I'm optimistic about Jiang Yichen. His cultivation is unfathomable after all."
The competition has reached a fierce stage, and both Gu Sheng and Jiang Yichen have tried their best. Both of them were covered in scars, but their eyes were still firm.
At this moment, something suddenly happened on the competition ground. A powerful dark energy fell from the sky and instantly enveloped the entire competition field. This energy seemed to be spiritual, all blessing Jiang Yichen.
Jiang Yichen's strength exploded instantly. Dustless Sword in his hand burst out with dazzling light, and he swung out his sword, directly knocking Gu Sheng back several steps.
Gu Sheng spit out a mouthful of blood, a trace of shock flashed in his eyes. He didn't expect Jiang Yichen to have such a trump card.
"Hahaha! Gu Sheng, you lost!" Jiang Yichen said with a proud smile, as if he had seen the dawn of victory.
Gu Sheng had no intention of giving up. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and stood up again. "It's not over yet!"
After saying that, he activated Red Vine Demonic Soul, and a corrosive force attacked Jiang Yichen. But at this moment, the dark energy in Jiang Yichen broke out again, directly swallowing up Red Vine Demonic Soul.
Gu Sheng's heart sank, he knew that he was already at a disadvantage in this duel. But he had no intention of giving up, and instead attacked more firmly.
Unfortunately, with the blessing of dark energy, Jiang Yichen's strength has reached a terrifying level. Every time he takes a shot, Gu Sheng feels tremendous pressure.
Finally, in a fierce confrontation, Gu Sheng was hit in the chest by Jiang Yichen's sword and fell heavily to the ground.
"I give up..." Gu Sheng gasped, his eyes full of unwillingness and helplessness.
Jiang Yichen put away Dustless Sword walked to Gu Sheng and stretched out his hand to help him up. "Gu Sheng You are very strong, but it is a pity that you met me."
Gu Sheng didn't speak, just nodded silently, then turned and left the competition ground. He knew that he had tried his best in this duel and the result could not be changed.
The melon-eating crowd outside the competition venue started talking one after another:
"It's so exciting! This showdown is really exciting!"
"Yeah, I didn't expect Jiang Yichen to have such a trump card. It's so strong!"
"But Gu Sheng is also very powerful. It's already great to be able to compete like this with Jiang Yichen."
With the defeat of Gu Sheng, the competition in this sorority also came to an end. But the excitement and enthusiasm in people's hearts cannot be calmed down for a long time...
After the competition, Ling Xiao secret realm regained its tranquility. But this duel has become a topic of conversation among people after dinner, and it will never be forgotten for a long time.
From then on, the number one talented young man was no longer Gu Sheng, but Jiang Yichen.
Gu Sheng also realized his shortcomings. He did not avoid them. Instead, he faced up to his shortcomings and practiced harder.
For Gu Sheng, this is a relief. There is actually no benefit in always carrying the title of "the number one talented young person".
Instead, he spread hatred everywhere, and many self-proclaimed warriors would come to compete, causing constant trouble.
Gu Sheng The moment he returned to Yaochi, his state of mind was already different. That defeat was like a key, opening the door to victory deep in his heart. He knew very well that only by practicing hard in seclusion could he regain his glory. So, he stepped into the cave, set up a barrier, isolated himself from the outside world, and began a long journey of cultivation.
Saintess Su Yao often stood outside the cave, staring at the closed stone door, filled with worry and expectation. She is well aware of the pride and tenacity of Gu Sheng, and she firmly believes that this young man will return in an even more dazzling manner.
The sun rises and the moon sets, and time passes like water. Gu Sheng's retreat has lasted for a month. During this period, the interior of Yaochi was as calm as water, but everyone knew that there was a storm about to break out beneath the calm.
On a full moon night, strange phenomena suddenly occurred in Yaochi. The originally calm night sky suddenly cracked open, and a bright divine light fell from the sky, like a shooting star piercing the night sky, which was breathtakingly beautiful. These divine lights converged into beams of light, shining directly towards the cave where Gu Sheng retreated.
"Is Gu Sheng about to break through?" Su Yao exclaimed, her voice full of excitement and expectation.
Everyone gathered around and saw that the divine lights were getting brighter and brighter, as if they were going to illuminate the entire Yaochi. At the same time, a powerful aura came from the cave. The aura was like the awakening of a giant dragon, shocking people's hearts.
Suddenly, a deafening thunder sounded, and divine thunder appeared in the sky. They writhed in the night sky like angry dragons. These divine thunders struck the cave with a bang, as if they were going to destroy it.
However, the cave was safe and sound. On the contrary, the moment those divine thunder struck the cave, they were absorbed by an invisible force. Everyone was amazed, knowing that this was the amazing strength displayed by Gu Sheng at the critical moment of breakthrough.
Immediately afterwards, an even more magical phenomenon appeared in Yaochi. Lotus flowers bloomed from the water, each one emitting a soft light. Golden leaves fell from the air and danced in the air, as if celebrating the breakthrough of Gu Sheng.
At this time, Gu Sheng's cave seemed to have turned into a mysterious fairyland. Divine light surrounds, divine thunder roars, and fairyland visions appear frequently... all of this demonstrates the extraordinary and sensational breakthrough of Gu Sheng.
In that glittering cave, Gu Sheng sat cross-legged, his face calm and firm. He felt the visions and commotion in the outside world, but his mind was as calm as an ancient well without waves. He knew this was a critical moment for his breakthrough and there couldn't be any distractions.
He uses his skills to guide the spiritual energy in his body to flow along his meridians. Those divine lights and divine thunder seemed to be guided by some kind of guidance, and poured into his body one after another, merging with his spiritual power. At this moment, he felt as if he was one with heaven and earth and became a part of the universe.
As the spiritual power continued to accumulate and sublimate, Gu Sheng felt as if his body was filled with a powerful force. His meridians continued to expand and strengthen under the impact of this force, as if to accommodate more spiritual power.
"Boom~"
When the last divine lightning struck into the cave and was absorbed, Gu Sheng opened his eyes suddenly. His eyes shone with unprecedented light, which was the confidence and determination after the breakthrough. He slowly stood up, feeling the surging spiritual power in his body, with a victorious smile on his face.
At this time, the stone door of the cave slowly opened, and the figure of Gu Sheng walked out. His temperament had undergone earth-shaking changes, as if he had been reborn. His eyes were deep and bright, as if they could penetrate everything; his figure was more upright and majestic, like an unshakable mountain.
"Gu Sheng!" Su Yao couldn't help exclaiming, her eyes flashing with tears of excitement, "You really made a breakthrough!"
"Yes." Gu Sheng nodded, with a confident smile on his face, "I have broken through to the Marrow Refining Realm ninth level." Although his voice was calm, it was full of power and confidence. It was as if he was announcing his return and rise to the world.
After hearing this, everyone came forward to congratulate Gu Sheng, their faces full of admiration and envy. They know that this boy who was once known as the number one talented boy has stood up again, and is standing higher and farther!
Gu Sheng is not complacent or complacent about this. He looked up at the sky, his heart full of expectations and confidence for the future. "This is just the beginning." He murmured to himself, "I still have a long, long way to go..."
Shortly after the breakthrough, an old friend came to Yaochi.
The moonlight is like water, and the Yaochi is sparkling. Inside the Heavenly Sword Academy, the sword energy was everywhere, but it also revealed a tranquil beauty.
"Gu Sheng! An old friend is visiting." Su Yao's voice broke the tranquility. Her figure appeared at the end of the corridor, followed by a slim woman, dressed in red like fire, with firm eyes.
Gu Sheng put down the sword in his hand and turned around to look, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. The woman in red was none other than Su Ling, whom he had met in the world many years ago. Back then, she was still the best among Fire Worship Cult. I didn't expect to meet again here.
"Su Ling, is it really you?" Gu Sheng's voice was filled with disbelief.
Su Ling smiled slightly, with a complicated light shining in his eyes. "Gu Sheng, I haven't seen you for many years."
The two were relatively speechless, only communicating with their eyes. The past slowly unfolded in their hearts like a scroll. Those days of fighting side by side and those unspoken feelings all came to my mind at this moment.
"Come, sit down and talk." Gu Sheng broke the silence and led Su Ling to sit down at the Heavenly Sword Academy's stone table.
Su Yao poured wine for the two of them and then silently stepped aside. She knew that there were too many stories to tell between the two.
"Why did you leave Fire Worship Cult?" Gu Sheng was the first to speak. He wanted to know what made Su Ling make such a choice.
Su Ling sighed softly, "There are constant disputes in the religion, and I am tired of that kind of life. Moreover, I found that my martial arts path has come to an end there. I want to find a broader world and break through my own limits."
Gu Sheng nodded, he could understand Su Ling's determination. The road to martial arts goes against nature and requires constant challenges and breakthroughs.
"Then how did you join Heavenly Dao Sect?" he continued to ask.
Su Ling took a sip of wine and said slowly, "After leaving Fire Worship Cult, I traveled around, looking for opportunities for breakthrough. Later, I heard that there was a powerful sect in the Central Continent continent - Heavenly Dao Sect. So, I decided to come and give it a try. After countless tests and challenges, I finally became a member of the Heavenly Dao Sect."
Gu Sheng couldn't help but sigh with emotion after hearing this, "Su Ling, you have really changed. You used to never give up easily."
Su Ling smiled, "People will always change. Moreover, I feel that I am stronger and more determined now than before."
The two talked about a lot, from past experiences to future plans. Su Ling told Gu Sheng that she came to the Heavenly Dao Sect because she heard that there was a mysterious technique here that could help her break through the Marrow Refining Realm's limits. And Gu Sheng also shared his cultivation experience at the Heavenly Sword Academy with Su Ling.
Su Ling missed the days of practicing alone with Gu Sheng. He found a secret realm in the Heavenly Dao Sect that was similar to the Crimson Cloud Continent Enlightenment Valley, a secret realm under the sea, and invited Gu Sheng to practice.
Gu Sheng readily agreed and went to the Heavenly Dao Sect secret seabed.
Here is a vast ocean that can't be seen at a glance. The spiritual energy is so rich that it is almost liquefied. It seems that this sea water is made of liquefied spiritual energy. The focus here is to describe the secret realm on the seabed.
There is no island in the secret realm under the sea. The two of them dived into the sea and entered a secret world isolated from the sea. It was lush and green, with fairy flowers and flowers, birds singing and flowers fragrant, and full of life. Many creatures spontaneously awakened their innate supernatural powers under the rich spiritual energy.
Flying frogs soared in the air, diving birds swam in the water, and carp jumped on the grass. Everything seemed so incredible.
"It's so amazing here!" Gu Sheng exclaimed, "These creatures seem to have broken the boundaries of nature."
Su Ling nodded in agreement. "Yes, the spiritual energy here is extremely rich, which is why so many strange creatures have been born. Let's practice here."
The two chose a Daoist platform with the strongest aura and began to practice sitting cross-legged. Spiritual energy from all directions gathered and rushed into their Baihui Point. This is a brand new cultivation experience, as if the aura of the entire secret realm is being used by them.
Three days later, Gu Sheng began to undergo mutations. A spiritual wheel began to condense under his seabed, which was a circular vortex formed by the gathering of spiritual energy. The spirit wheel rotates faster and faster, eventually forming a deep black hole that seems to swallow up all light.
