Peacock King looked at Gu Sheng with a hint of admiration in his eyes. He nodded slowly and said, "You have a good talent and a promising future. Practice hard and don't let me down."
After he finished speaking, he put the Demon Emperor's Heart into the storage ring, and then waved his finger, leaving all the remaining Divine Spring fairy grass and elixir in the furnace to Gu Sheng.
"These are yours. I hope they can help you reach a higher level." Peacock King said with a smile, then turned around and disappeared into a splendid peacock light and shadow.
Gu Sheng watched Peacock King leave, his heart filled with gratitude and respect. He took a deep breath and continued to refine the heavenly materials and earthly treasures in the furnace.
There are many of these heavenly materials and earthly treasures, and each one contains powerful energy. With a thought, Gu Sheng released Grass Vine Demonic Soul, letting it begin to quickly corrode these treasures of heaven and earth.
"ZZZZZZ..." As Grass Vine Demonic Soul was devoured, all kinds of heavenly materials and earthly treasures disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye. Grass Vine Demonic Soul also continued to grow during this process, its length gradually increased, and its color began to change.
Soon after, Grass Vine Demonic Soul turned into more than 5,000 meters long, winding and circling in the furnace cauldron like a giant dragon. Its color also changed from the original yellow to deep purple, exuding a mysterious and powerful aura.
At the same time, Gu Sheng also felt the changes in his body. His Primordial Saint Body became harder under the nourishment of Grass Vine Demonic Soul, as if it was poured by golden light. He stretched out his palm and saw golden light flowing on his palm, as if he was wearing a layer of golden armor.
"Is this the power of Primordial Saint Body?" Gu Sheng murmured to himself, feeling that his power was increasing rapidly.
At this moment, there was a sudden movement deep in the underground palace. A powerful aura is approaching here quickly, as if some terrifying existence is awakening.
Gu Sheng frowned, and an ominous premonition surged in his heart. He immediately put away the cauldron and Grass Vine Demonic Soul, and looked warily into the depths of the underground palace.
"Quack... I didn't expect there to be such delicious food here!" A sinister voice echoed in the underground palace, and then a black shadow flew out from the depths of the underground palace and headed towards Gu Sheng.
Gu Sheng ducked and avoided the attack of the black shadow. He took a closer look and found that the black shadow turned out to be a huge black bat with a cultivation level of the Sea Bottom Realm. Its eyes were shining with blood-red light, making it appear extremely ferocious.
"It turns out to be a bat demon!" Gu Sheng snorted coldly, "Since you are looking for death, then I will help you!"
As he spoke, he activated the technique, clapped his golden palm out, and blasted towards the bat demon. However, this bat demon is very powerful. It evaded Gu Sheng's attack with a wave of its wings.
"Quack... boy, you pissed me off!"
The bat demon roared and rushed towards Gu Sheng again. The two started a fierce battle in the underground palace.
Although Gu Sheng has just made a breakthrough, his strength has greatly increased and with the blessing of Primordial Saint Body, he is not afraid of this bat demon. He urged Gale Nine Swords to attack the bat demon.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."
Nine golden sword energies cut through the sky and headed straight for the bat demon. Although the bat demon is flexible, it has to avoid the sharp edges of these nine sharp swords.
"Ah——"
A scream rang out. The bat demon was hit by one of the sword energy, and a huge wound instantly appeared on his body. It looked at Gu Sheng in horror as if it were looking at a monster.
Gu Sheng didn't give it a chance to breathe and struck it with its golden palm again. This time, he didn't hold back and directly killed the bat demon to the ground.
After killing the bat demon, Gu Sheng let out a long breath. He felt that the power in his body was gradually stabilizing and Primordial Saint Body became stronger.
"This time is really a blessing in disguise!" Gu Sheng exclaimed. He looked into the depths of the underground palace, filled with expectations.
This time, Gu Sheng broke through to the Sea Bottom Realm Second Layer sky, Primordial Saint Body became harder, and the length of the grass and vines became more than 5,000 meters.
It can be said to be a full harvest.
"Rumble--"
Thunder rolled across the sky. A Dao Body shadow cut across the sky, falling straight into Jade Pool Holy Land like a meteor.
Gu Sheng, the proud son of Jade Pool Holy Land, returned with Sea Bottom Realm Second Layer heavenly cultivation after training at Primordial Beginning Ancient Mine, causing a sensation throughout the Holy Land. His return not only brought about a breakthrough in cultivation, but also brought back a batch of rare treasures.
"Junior Brother Gu is back!"
"Hello, Junior Brother Gu!"
In the holy land, cheers erupted one after another, and the disciples rushed to surround him, wanting to catch a glimpse of Gu Sheng.
Gu Sheng smiled slightly. He was tall and handsome, with a heroic spirit between his brows. At this moment, he was like a hero returning from victory.
"Everyone, please be quiet. I have gained something in Primordial Beginning Ancient Mine this time, and I am willing to share it with all my brothers and sisters." Gu Sheng said loudly, with a strong voice that spread throughout Jade Pool Holy Land.
Afterwards, he distributed the treasures brought back from Primordial Beginning Ancient Mine to the disciples in the Holy Land one by one. Every treasure contained powerful power, making the disciples ecstatic.
"Junior Brother Gu, is this for us?" A disciple asked excitedly, holding the treasure in his hand.
"Yes, you are all the pride of me, Jade Pool Holy Land, and these treasures should be shared by you all." Gu Sheng said with a smile.
After distributing the treasures, Gu Sheng walked towards Jade Pool Saintess. She was dressed in white, elegant and refined, like a fairy descending to earth.
"Saintess, this is for you." Gu Sheng handed over a treasure that shone with mysterious light - Qionghua Immortal Bottle.
Saintess took Qionghua Immortal Bottle, a trace of surprise and joy flashed in his eyes. "Thank you, Junior Brother Gu."
"Saintess You're welcome. You have paid a lot for the Holy Land. This is what you deserve." Gu Sheng said.
Su Yao also came over. She held four Water Spirit Pearl in her hand, and her eyes flashed with anticipation. "Junior Brother Gu, these are the Water Spirit Pearl I collected. There are still three more Water Spirit Pearl to open the secret realm."
"Don't worry, Junior Sister Su, I will help you keep an eye on it." Gu Sheng said with a smile.
As night falls, the lights inside Jade Pool Holy Land are brightly lit, and a grand banquet is being held. The disciples laughed and celebrated Gu Sheng's return and breakthrough in cultivation.
However, in this joyful atmosphere, there is an undercurrent.
"Gu Sheng should not be underestimated." Elder Bixiao said in a low voice, "I'm afraid what he gained from Primordial Beginning Ancient Mine is far more than what we see."
"Hmph, so what? After all, he is one of our Jade Pool Holy Land, can he still be detrimental to us?" Elder Shuangtian retorted.
"Having said that, this kid is growing too fast, so we have to be on guard." The elder from before sighed.
The banquet continued, but Gu Sheng felt something strange. He looked around and saw several eyes lingering on him. He was moved in his heart, but he continued to drink and laugh with his disciples calmly.
After the banquet, Gu Sheng came to the back mountain alone. The moonlight was like water, shining on his resolute face, reflecting a different kind of style.
"Junior Brother Gu." A soft voice broke the tranquility of the night, it was Su Yao.
"Junior sister Su, why are you here so late?" Gu Sheng turned around and asked with a smile.
"I'm here to find you." Su Yao walked to Gu Sheng and looked up at him, "Junior brother Gu, you must have experienced a lot at Primordial Beginning Ancient Mine, right? Can you tell me about it?"
Gu Sheng looked at Su Yao's clear eyes, and with a thought in his heart, he recounted Primordial Beginning Ancient Mine's various adventures. He told the story of how he merged with Primordial Saint Body, how he broke through in cultivation, and how he obtained these treasures. Su Yao listened with great interest, his eyes shining with admiration.
"Junior Brother Gu, you are so powerful." Su Yao admired sincerely, "When will I be as powerful as you?"
"As long as you practice hard, you will one day surpass me." Gu Sheng encouraged, "Remember, there are no shortcuts on the road to practice. Only by being down-to-earth can you go further."
When the two were chatting happily, suddenly a green shadow fell from the sky and landed in front of them. The person who came was dressed in green, with a stern face and a cold light in his eyes.
"Gu Sheng, what crime do you deserve for hiding treasures privately?" the man in green said coldly.
Gu Sheng frowned. "Who are you? What evidence is there that I hide treasures secretly?"
"Hmph, the treasures you got in Primordial Beginning Ancient Mine are far more than those distributed to the disciples, right? Hand them over and I will spare your life." The man in green threatened.
Gu Sheng sneered, "You want a treasure? It depends on whether you have the ability."
As he spoke, he moved and attacked the man in green. The man in green didn't show any weakness, and the two were fighting together instantly. Su Yao looked on with horror, but couldn't do much to help.
During the fight, Gu Sheng gradually gained the upper hand. When the man in green saw something was wrong, he turned around and ran away. Gu Sheng chased after him, but suddenly felt dizzy. It turned out that the man in green had released the magic potion. He screamed in his heart that it was bad, but it was already too late.
When Gu Sheng woke up again, he found that he had been tied up in a cave. The man in green was standing in front of him, looking at him coldly.
"Tell me, where did you hide the remaining treasures?" the man in green asked.
Gu Sheng smiled, "Do you think you won? Let me tell you, those treasures are no longer with me."
The man in green was stunned. "What do you mean?"
"When I left Primordial Beginning Ancient Mine, I had already moved most of the treasures to a safe place." Gu Sheng said calmly, "Even if you kill me, you won't get what you want."
A trace of anger and unwillingness flashed in the eyes of the man in green. "Do you think I will believe your lies?"
"Believe it or not." Gu Sheng shrugged, "I've told you anyway."
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the cave. Immediately afterwards, a flash of sword light flashed, and the man in green fell to the ground. It turned out that the elders of Jade Pool Holy Land arrived in time to rescue Gu Sheng.
After some explanations, the elders learned the truth of the matter. It turned out that the person in green was Elder Bixiao. She thought Gu Sheng had embezzled all the treasures, which led to the misunderstanding. The elders apologized to Gu Sheng and praised his wit and bravery.
Gu Sheng In addition to practicing every day, he spends time traveling with the fairies of Jade Pool Holy Land. Life is very pleasant.
Grass Vine Demonic Soul of Gu Sheng
"Whoosh——"
Gu Sheng and Grass Vine Demonic Soul were like green spiritual snakes, circling and flying around him. Every grass and vine is full of vitality and seems to contain infinite power. As he thought, the grass and vines changed instantly, turning into pieces of Green Lotus, and Green Lotus bloomed, with green leaves like a cover and petals like snow, beautiful and mysterious.
"This is Grass Vine Transformation Lotus?" The fairies of Jade Pool Holy Land were amazed. They gathered around Gu Sheng, their eyes full of curiosity and admiration.
"Yes, this is my Grass Vine Demonic Soul's new ability." Gu Sheng explained with a smile, "These Green Lotus are not only powerfully corrosive, but can also spread quickly and swallow everything."
Hearing this, the fairies took a few steps back for fear of being touched by Green Lotus. But at the same time, they are also looking forward to the next display of Gu Sheng.
Gu Sheng With a thought, Green Lotus grew wildly in an instant, like a green scourge, rushing toward a hill in front of it. Although the hill is not high, it is covered with various plants and lush. However, under the corrosion of Green Lotus, these plants withered and disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"It's amazing! This is simply a green disaster!" A fairy exclaimed.
"Yes, Junior Brother Gu's Grass Vine Demonic Soul is really amazing!" Another fairy agreed.
Gu Sheng smiled slightly and said nothing more. He knew that this was just the tip of the iceberg for his Grass Vine Demonic Soul. As his cultivation level increases, Grass Vine Demonic Soul's abilities will become even more powerful.
"Buzz——"
The entrance to the Trial Secret Realm slowly opened, a ray of light flashed through, and the figures of Gu Sheng and Su Yao disappeared into this mysterious space.
Inside the secret realm, mist is lingering, and there is an ancient and mysterious atmosphere surrounding it. Gu Sheng looked around warily. He could feel the powerful aura of monsters hidden in this space.
"Junior Brother Gu, the atmosphere here is so weird." Su Yao followed closely beside Gu Sheng and whispered.
"Well, be careful." Gu Sheng warned, "None of the monsters here are fuel-efficient lamps."
As soon as he finished speaking, a deafening roar came, making their ears buzz. Immediately afterwards, a huge Thunder Sea Black Tortoise appeared from the mist, with electric light flowing on the hard carapace on its back, and its eyes flashing with sharp light.
"Is this our first opponent?" Gu Sheng murmured to himself, with a trace of excitement flashing in his eyes.
"Junior Brother Gu, this Thunder Sea Black Tortoise looks so powerful." Su Yao said with some worry.
"It's okay, I'm here." Gu Sheng smiled and comforted her. At the same time, with a thought, Grass Vine Demonic Soul instantly surged out of the body and turned into pieces of Green Lotus, sweeping towards Thunder Sea Black Tortoise.
The corrosive power of Green Lotus is terrifying and powerful. Although Thunder Sea Black Tortoise tried its best to resist, it was eventually completely devoured by Green Lotus.
"It's amazing!" Su Yao exclaimed.
Gu Sheng smiled slightly, "This is just the beginning, let's move on."
The two walked carefully through the fog, and soon encountered other monsters. Iron-Eating Winged Dragon, Sky Swallowing Giant Frog, Jungle Lightning Wolf... each one is the powerful existence of the Sea Bottom Realm. But in front of Gu Sheng and Grass Vine Demonic Soul, they were defeated one after another.
Whenever she encounters a powerful monster, Su Yao always stands bravely beside Gu Sheng, using her Marrow Refining Realm ninth-level strength to fight against the monster with the four Water Spirit Pearl. Although her strength is far from Gu Sheng, her tenacity and courage have won Gu Sheng's appreciation.
