"Gu Sheng, are you about to break through?" Su Ling asked in surprise.
Gu Sheng closed his eyes tightly, but the expression on his face revealed his excitement at the moment. "Yes, I feel the call of the secret realm under the sea. This time, I want to step into a new realm."
As the black hole continues to expand, a mysterious world begins to emerge. There are mountains, rivers, lakes and seas, fairy flowers and flowers, exotic animals and birds... it is simply a fairyland-like existence. This is the secret realm of the seabed in the human body, a fantasy world constructed of aura.
At this moment, Heavenly Dao Sect also caused an uproar. Everyone walked out of the cave one after another and looked up at the sky. I saw a secret world emerging in the sky, emitting bright light. All kinds of exotic animals and birds soared and shuttled among them, which was simply dizzying for the eyes.
"Oh my God! Has someone broken through the Sea Bottom Realm?" Heavenly Dao Sect's leader exclaimed. Such visions are rare in the history of the Heavenly Dao Sect.
"Who is it? Can you break through in the secret realm under the sea?"
The disciples were talking a lot, their eyes full of envy and admiration. They knew that the person who could cause such a vision must be a unique genius.
And it is undoubtedly the sect's glory that Heavenly Dao Sect can have such a genius. Jiang Yichen also stood in the crowd and watched all this silently. As the first disciple of the Heavenly Dao Sect, he has always attracted much attention, but at this moment, he was deeply attracted by the secret world floating in the sky.
He knew that this was not a vision he could induce, but he was also sincerely happy for the breakthroughr.
"Who is it?"
Jiang Yichen secretly guessed. He hopes to communicate and learn from this genius and make progress together. As the secret world gradually dissipated, the figures of Gu Sheng and Su Ling also appeared in everyone's sight. They stood hand in hand with the joy of success on their faces.
"Congratulations to both of you on your successful breakthrough!"
Heavenly Dao Sect Master was the first to step forward and congratulate. He knows that these two young talents will be Heavenly Dao Sect's hope for the future.
Unfortunately, Gu Sheng is not the disciple of the Heavenly Dao Sect.
Jiang Yichen also stepped forward to shake hands with Gu Sheng and Su Ling.
"Congratulations to you! It's really admirable to be able to cause such a vision!"
Jiang Yichen said sincerely. He hopes to learn more from these two geniuses.
Gu Sheng and Su Ling also humbly responded to everyone's congratulations.
They know that there is still a long way to go and they need to practice harder to go further.
Su Ling looked at Gu Sheng, his eyes shining with admiration. "Gu Sheng, you really did it."
Next, is the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra journey of Gu Sheng and Su Ling, joining Gu Xiaojiang, an old acquaintance, for hunting insertion.
After leaving Heavenly Dao Sect, both Gu Sheng and Su Ling felt that they still had something to say. Although the three days of training in the secret seabed were short-lived, they left a deep impression on them. So, the two met and went to a more mysterious place-Forbidden Fruit Secret Realm.
Forbidden Fruit Secret Realm is a holy place that only couples with profound cultivation will visit. This place is secretive and beautiful, like a fairyland on earth. When Gu Sheng and Su Ling stepped into this secret realm, they were deeply shocked by the sight before them.
There are fairy grasses everywhere, each one emitting a faint fluorescent light, like an elf in nature. Hundreds of birds flock to the phoenix, and various exotic birds soar in the sky. Their singing is like the sound of nature, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.
In the center of this fairyland, there grows a black apple tree, full of black apples. This is the legendary forbidden fruit.
"It's so beautiful here!" Su Ling exclaimed, her eyes shining with excitement.
"Yes, this is indeed a good place to practice." Gu Sheng nodded in agreement.
The two understood and immediately began their practice. They chose a quiet place, sat opposite each other, and began to discuss Jade Maiden Heart Sutra.
With the blessing of the Sea Bottom Realm, the two's cultivation levels improved rapidly. Jade Maiden Heart Sutra operates within their bodies, creating an illusory space. In this space, they transformed into a beautiful couple, like butterflies that happened to dance, caressing each other and dancing gracefully.
In the illusory space, Gu Sheng and Su Ling hold hands, like a couple in love. There seemed to be a steady stream of electricity flowing between their slender palms. This current is not only the power generated by the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra they practice, but also the emotional exchange between them.
As their practice deepened, the two had more and more physical contact. From holding hands to hugging tightly, they entered a wonderful and comfortable situation. In this process, their feelings have also been greatly sublimated.
"Gu Sheng, I feel that our Jade Maiden Heart Sutra has reached a new level." Su Ling said softly.
"Yes, I feel it too. Our cultivation and state of mind have been greatly improved." Gu Sheng responded.
The conversation between the two was filled with joy and satisfaction. They knew that Forbidden Fruit Secret Realm had gained a lot from this trip. Not only had their cultivation improved, but more importantly, their relationship had become deeper.
At this time, in the illusory space, their incarnations became more real and vivid, as if they were themselves. They danced in the space, enjoying this wonderful moment. Jade Maiden Heart Sutra also shined in their practice and finally achieved success.
When the two people exited the illusory space, they looked at each other and smiled, their eyes shining with satisfaction and happiness. They knew that this cultivation journey was successful.
"Gu Sheng Thank you for going through this with me." Su Ling said gratefully.
"Su Ling I should be the one thanking you. It was you who allowed me to experience such a wonderful journey of cultivation." Gu Sheng responded.
The two hugged each other tightly and enjoyed this rare warm moment.
In the following days, Gu Sheng and Su Ling traveled to Northern Region together.
On this day, the two came to a vast grassland. On the grassland, the grass was blown by the wind and cattle and sheep could be seen, making it a peaceful and harmonious scene.
"Gu Sheng, look at how beautiful the scenery here is!" Su Ling said, pointing to the mountains in the distance and the cattle and sheep nearby.
"It's indeed beautiful, but we can't forget to practice." Gu Sheng said with a smile, "How about we just compete here?"
"Okay! That's what I meant." Su Ling nodded in agreement.
The two immediately stood opposite each other and began a fierce sparring session. Gu Sheng started to run Gale Nine Swords, the sword light flickered, attacking Su Ling like a gust of wind. And Su Ling has an elegant figure, shuttling and dodging in the sword light like a butterfly.
On the grassland, the sword energy is like a dragon, the wind is like a tiger, Gu Sheng and Su Ling are intertwining their sword moves, their figures are like the wind, performing a gorgeous sword dance.
Time flies, and the peaceful battle picture is suddenly broken by a chilling atmosphere.
"Hey, do you feel it? There seems to be movement over there." Su Ling frowned slightly and looked into the distance.
Gu Sheng Divine Sense glanced and his face changed slightly, "It's the cavalry. They are chasing a person."
"Should we go take a look?" Su Ling asked.
"I didn't want to be nosy, but that person..." Gu Sheng's eyes suddenly solidified, "That's Gu Xiaojiang!"
Su Ling also recognized the figure who was being hunted, "Your friend?"
"More than a friend, he has been my brother since childhood." Gu Sheng said with firm eyes, "We have to save him."
The two of them said nothing more, and their figures flashed, turning into two streams of light and rushing towards the group of cavalry warriors.
When the cavalry warriors saw someone interfering, one of the leaders sneered, "Hmph, you want to save someone? First ask if the sword in our hands will answer!"
Gu Sheng glanced at the group of cavalry with cold eyes, and the killing intent exuded from them made him even more determined. "Su Ling, you deal with the others, leave the leading second-level warrior to me."
"Okay!" Su Ling responded, his figure as light as falling snow facing the other cavalry.
Gu Sheng faced the second-level cavalry warrior. The warrior brandished a broadsword and rushed towards Gu Sheng with fierce killing intent. Gu Sheng takes a deep breath and activates Sea Bottom Realm. The aura around him is so powerful that strange phenomena such as mountains, rivers, lakes, seas, flowers, birds, and animals will emerge. He ran Gale Nine Swords, and swung out his sword. The sword energy was like a dragon, and it hit the opponent's vital points.
"Hmph, what a trick!" The other warrior snorted coldly and waved his sword to resist.
"Keng!"
When the two forces collided, the smile on his face suddenly solidified. Gu Sheng's sword energy actually penetrated his defense and reached his vital points. He was shocked and took a few steps back to regain his balance.
"Who are you? You can actually hurt me?" The warrior asked in shock.
"Gu Sheng." Gu Sheng spat out two words coldly and attacked with his sword again.
At the same time, Su Ling also fought with other cavalry. Her plain female sword shuttles through the enemy group like a spiritual snake, and every sword strike is extremely precise. Under her sword skills, one cavalry fell down one after another.
Gu Xiaojiang struggled to stand up when he saw this. Although he was seriously injured, he still tried his best to rush towards the second-level warrior. The warrior was being forced to retreat steadily by Gu Sheng and had no time to care.
Suddenly he felt a chill behind his back and looked back, only to see Gu Xiaojiang already close at hand.
"Ah!" he yelled in horror but it was too late. Gu Xiaojiang stabbed his heart with a knife and ended his life.
Upon seeing this, the other cavalrymen fled in panic, but Gu Sheng and Su Ling had no intention of letting them go. The two teamed up to pursue and quickly killed all the remaining cavalry.
After the battle, Gu Sheng helped Gu Xiaojiang and asked with concern, "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine. Thank you for arriving in time." Gu Xiaojiang said gratefully.
"We're brothers, no need to thank you." Gu Sheng said with a smile, "How did you get into trouble with these people?"
"Oh, it's a long story..." Gu Xiaojiang sighed and began to tell his story. It turned out that he had discovered a treasure in a secret realm before, but these cavalry warriors discovered that they were greedy for the treasure and chased him all the way here.
"These guys really deserve to die!" Su Ling said angrily.
"Forget it, they have already received the punishment they deserve." Gu Sheng said, "We'd better leave here quickly to avoid further trouble."
The wind in the grassland gently brushed the faces of the three people, bringing with it a hint of sadness of parting and joy of reunion. Gu Sheng, Su Ling and Gu Xiaojiang smiled at each other and walked hand in hand into the bustling market not far away.
"Which restaurant around here has the strongest wine?" Gu Sheng asked proudly.
"Drunken Immortal Residence, the wine there is said to make even an immortal drunk." Gu Xiaojiang responded with a smile.
When the three of them arrived at Drunken Immortal Residence, a strong aroma of wine hit their nostrils. They found a seat by the window and ordered the best wine in the restaurant and a few side dishes.
"Come, let's drink to our reunion!" Gu Sheng proposed with a toast.
The three of them drank it all in one gulp, and the wine went into their throats. The burning feeling penetrated their hearts, but it also carried an indescribable sense of joy.
"Gu Sheng, you must have experienced a lot while traveling these years, right?" Gu Xiaojiang asked curiously.
"Haha, that's natural. But what about you? After the Crimson Cloud Continent was unified, why did you choose to take risks?" Gu Sheng asked.
Gu Xiaojiang put down the wine glass, a trace of vicissitudes flashed in his eyes, "Crimson Cloud Continent has become much more peaceful after the unification, but I always feel that the road to martial arts is restricted. So, I also joined the adventurous army and came to this Profound Abyss Sea."
He paused and continued, "Over the years, I worked as a mine slave and a gardener, and later became a gold guard at the Golden Kingdom. However, I always felt that these were not what I wanted. So, I chose to go out to practice and find my own path to martial arts."
After Gu Sheng heard this, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "Xiao Jiang, you have gone through so much, which really impresses me. Your current cultivation level has reached the Marrow Refining Realm ninth level, which is really amazing!"
"No, I'm still far behind you." Gu Xiaojiang said modestly.
Su Ling was quietly listening to the conversation between the two, pouring wine for them from time to time, always with a faint smile on his face.
After drinking for three rounds, Gu Sheng suddenly asked, "Xiao Jiang, were you chased by those cavalry this time because you found some treasure?"
Gu Xiaojiang smiled bitterly, "It is indeed because of a treasure. I found a thousand-year-old spiritual grass in a secret realm. I wanted to pick it and use it in exchange for some training resources, but I didn't expect that it was discovered by those cavalry warriors. They were greedy for my treasure and chased me all the way here."
Speaking of this, there was a trace of anger and unwillingness on his face.
"These guys are so hateful! But luckily you met us." Gu Sheng patted Gu Xiaojiang on the shoulder and comforted, "Don't worry, no one will bully you in the future with our brothers here!"
Su Ling said half-jokingly, "Yes, Gu Xiaojiang, you can come with us from now on, and the three of us will go on a adventure together Central Continent!"
Gu Xiaojiang After hearing this, a warm current surged in his heart, and he nodded deeply, "Okay! Let's do it together!"
Gu Sheng invited Gu Xiaojiang and Su Ling to be guests at Jade Pool Holy Land, and they did not refuse.
After being guests for a while, Su Ling and Gu Xiaojiang left respectively.
Everyone has their own opportunities, which need to be experienced and opened individually.
After Gu Sheng trained in Jade Pool Holy Land for a period of time, he also set foot on Northern Region.
Since breaking through into the secret realm under the sea, his demand for spiritual stones and various heavenly materials and earthly treasures has soared, and Grass Vine Demonic Soul also needs more heavenly materials and earthly treasures.
He must gather some resources quickly, otherwise he will be further and further left behind by the latest rising talents such as Jiang Yichen.
