In the process of escaping, Gu Sheng unexpectedly returned to Old Man Jiang's small restaurant.
Seeing him coming back in such a mess, the kind old man didn't ask any questions. He just silently prepared a clean room and a sumptuous dinner for him.
Gu Sheng was extremely grateful for this kindness. He knew that at this critical moment, anyone's help was extremely valuable.
He couldn't stay long, so when night fell the next day, he quietly left the town under the cover of darkness and continued his escape.
Three days later, Gu Sheng finally escaped to a bustling city in the Yan Kingdom. The place had a large population, spacious streets, numerous shops, bustling traffic, and bustle. He felt that only the vast sea of people could hide him and allow him to temporarily escape the shadow of pursuit.
Gu Sheng was exhausted from running around on the road these days. He didn't let out a long sigh of relief until he entered the city.
When he wanted to find some food to satisfy his hunger, he found that he was penniless, which made him smile bitterly. It was really raining all night when the house was leaking!
It was now noon, and the streets were filled with the aroma of various delicacies, but Gu Sheng could only wander around the streets with an empty stomach.
At this moment, a familiar and indifferent voice suddenly sounded in his ears, "Hey, isn't this Gu Sheng? How did it get to this point?"
Gu Sheng turned around and saw a woman in gorgeous clothes staring at him coldly. The woman was beautiful and elegant. She was his ex-girlfriend Lin Qingyu. Now she has joined the respected Purple Sun Grotto-Heaven and has become a practitioner.
Seeing Gu Sheng looking so miserable, a trace of disdain and arrogance flashed in Lin Qingyu's eyes.
She once had expectations for Gu Sheng, but now it seems that he has completely reduced to a beggar-like existence, which makes her feel extremely disappointed and despised.
"Lin Qingyu..." Gu Sheng gritted his teeth and spat out these three words, his heart filled with humiliation and anger, "Are you here to see my joke?"
"Hmph, you are wrong." Lin Qingyu snorted coldly, "I just came to see how depressed you, a former genius, are now. It seems that you are really nothing after leaving me."
Gu Sheng was furious when he heard this. He clenched his fists and his momentum surged, but then he calmed down. He knew that his current strength could not compete with Lin Qingyu, and he did not want to lose his composure in front of this woman.
So he took a deep breath and said, "Are you great now? You are just a dog of Purple Sun Grotto-Heaven!"
"You!" Lin Qingyu was irritated by Gu Sheng's words. She stared at Gu Sheng with a livid face for a while, then turned and left with a cold snort, "Humph! You ungrateful thing! Just continue begging on the streets!" After that, she left without looking back, leaving Gu Sheng alone in a daze.
He looked at Lin Qingyu's leaving figure, and his heart was full of bitterness and helplessness. He knew that he and this woman were completely over, and there was no longer any possibility.
At this moment, a powerful aura suddenly fell from the sky, shrouding Gu Sheng in it, "Haha! I finally found you!" An arrogant voice sounded in the sky, "Gu Sheng, where do you want to escape this time?"
Gu Sheng looked up and saw a group of knights wearing Jiang Family costumes flying from the sky. They stared at him menacingly, as if they wanted to eat him alive. The leading knight captain was the Jiang Family master who had been chasing him before!
At this moment, pedestrians on the street were frightened by the sudden change and fled in all directions, but Gu Sheng stood still and did not move. He knew that he had no way out and could only fight to the death to survive.
"You are finally chasing me..." Gu Sheng took a deep breath and said slowly, "In that case, let us put an end to it!" After saying that, his momentum surged, and he was ready to face the next battle of life and death.
The Jiang Family knights in the sky also drew their weapons and prepared for battle. For a time, the whole street was filled with a chilling atmosphere and a tense atmosphere.
A fierce battle is about to break out!
Gu Sheng's body flashed and he rushed towards the Jiang Family knights.
His speed is extremely fast, like lightning, dazzling.
His fists shone with golden light, as if they contained endless power.
"Bang!"
Gu Sheng's fist hit a Jiang Family knight hard. The knight suddenly felt as if he was struck by lightning. He flew out and fell heavily to the ground, unconscious.
The other knights were shocked when they saw this. They didn't expect Gu Sheng to be so powerful.
"Gale Nine Swords!"
Gu Sheng shouted low, and his figure flashed again. Profound Heaven Sword in his hand turned into nine sword lights, attacking the remaining eight knights respectively.
Those knights couldn't see clearly the trajectory of Gu Sheng's sword skills, and could only rely on instinct to dodge.
Gu Sheng's swordsmanship was so unpredictable that in the blink of an eye, several knights were hit by the sword and fell to the ground.
"Shadow Concealment Art!"
Gu Sheng's figure suddenly disappeared from the spot, as if blending into the darkness.
The remaining knights looked around in panic, trying to find any trace of Gu Sheng.
However, they found that they had lost their target and could not lock the position of Gu Sheng at all.
At this moment, Gu Sheng suddenly appeared from behind a knight and slapped him on the back of the head.
The knight fainted and fell to the ground without even making a sound.
Upon seeing this, the other knights drew their weapons and looked around cautiously, fearing that Gu Sheng would suddenly attack from the darkness.
Gu Sheng did not continue to attack, but stood there and looked at them coldly.
"You are no match for me. Go back and tell Jiang Yifei and Jiang Caixuan that I, Gu Sheng, will be back! Let them wash their necks and wait for me!" After that, he turned and left, leaving a group of the Jiang Family knights looking at each other.
They knew that they encountered a powerful opponent today, and this person also threatened to come back to cause trouble for the Jiang Family, which made them feel extremely panicked and uneasy.
At this moment, Gu Sheng had disappeared into the vast sea of people and continued his escape.
"Whoosh——" A sound of breaking wind sounded, and Gu Sheng's figure shuttled through the jungle like a ghost. Behind him, the knights of the Jiang Family were chasing after him, but they could never touch the hem of his clothes.
Gu Sheng's eyes flashed with determination, and he knew he couldn't keep running away like this. At this moment, a bustling city came into view. With a thought, he decided to blend into the crowd to get rid of the pursuers.
Entering the city, Gu Sheng is instantly surrounded by hustle and bustle. The shabby clothes he wore were incompatible with the bustling city, attracting passers-by's attention. At this moment, a familiar voice came into my ears. "Gu Sheng, is that you?"
Gu Sheng turned around and saw that it was Lin Qingyu. A trace of shock flashed in her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure. Several young men and women who were traveling with her looked disdainful, and one of them even said rudely, "Where are you beggars from? Don't block the way!"
"He is my neighbor." Lin Qingyu said, with a hint of complex emotions in his voice that was difficult to detect.
"Oh? Your neighbor?" A man raised his eyebrows and looked Gu Sheng up and down, "Looking at how poor he looks, do you have the nerve to recognize him as your neighbor?"
Gu Sheng looked expressionless, as if he had not heard these words. He knew that he was indeed in dire straits now, but he would never bow down because of this.
"Okay, stop talking." Lin Qingyu interrupted the man, "Gu Sheng, you... how did you become like this?"
"It's nothing, I just ran into some trouble." Gu Sheng said calmly. He didn't want to explain too much about his experience.
"Oh, he looks so pitiful. Let's give him some money and let him buy some decent clothes." Another man said, taking out a handful of copper coins from his arms and throwing them on the ground.
Gu Sheng looked at the copper coins on the ground, a trace of anger flashing in his eyes. He took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and turned to leave.
"Stop! Who told you to leave?" The man who had been rude before suddenly stood in front of Gu Sheng.
"Our junior sister Qingyu was talking to you, and you just left like that? Are we too disrespectful of us Purple Sun Grotto-Heaven?"
Gu Sheng frowned. He didn't want to conflict with these people, but the other party obviously didn't intend to let him go.
At this moment, a powerful breath suddenly burst out from Gu Sheng, causing the surrounding air to tremble slightly.
"Sea of Wheels Secret Realm opens up Bitter Sea!" someone exclaimed.
I saw Wheel of Life under the belly button of Gu Sheng begin to rotate slowly, and the phantoms of mountains, rivers, lakes, seas, flowers, birds and animals emerged in it, the golden waves rolled endlessly, and the aura was powerful.
His body seemed to be shrouded in golden light, and an aura of Primordial Saint Body filled the air.
Everyone looked at this scene in astonishment. They did not expect that this seemingly down-and-out young man could have such a powerful cultivation level.
Gu Sheng ignored their surprise, turned around and strode away.
He knew that he couldn't stay here for long, otherwise it would only cause more trouble.
"Brother, he..." Lin Qingyu wanted to say something, but was interrupted by a man beside him.
"Let him go! Not everyone can mess with us Purple Sun Grotto-Heaven!" the man snorted coldly.
Although they were shocked in their hearts by Gu Sheng's cultivation and vision, they still maintained their arrogance and disdain on the surface.
Gu Sheng's figure gradually disappeared into the crowd, and his appearance also caused a lot of commotion in Purple Sun Grotto-Heaven.
Lin Qingyu looked at Gu Sheng's leaving figure, with a trace of complicated emotions flashing in his eyes.
She knew that this former neighbor was no longer the unknown young man.
His appearance may bring a storm to the world.
At the same time, in another corner of the city, the knights of the Jiang Family were searching for traces of Gu Sheng.
They didn't know that the target they were chasing had quietly left the city and fled further away.
After flying for several days, Gu Sheng approached a barrier - and arrived at Purple Sun Grotto-Heaven.
Gu Sheng stood in front of the mountain gate of Purple Sun Grotto-Heaven, feeling excited. This is not only because he has finally found a refuge where he can escape the pursuit of the Jiang Family, but also because he is about to enter a new world of cultivation that is full of unknowns.
"Rumble--" The stone tablet in front of the mountain gate seemed to feel the arrival of Gu Sheng, making a low roar, surrounded by purple air, like a dream.
Gu Sheng's eyes were attracted by several young men kneeling in front of the mountain gate. Their eyes were full of desire and unwillingness, as if they were telling all the hardships on their path to cultivation.
"Please, give us another chance!"
"We have been working hard for so long, and we are really not willing to give up like this!"
The young people begged one after another, but the monk in charge of the assessment had no expression on his face, as if he was used to such a scene.
Gu Sheng's heart moved, he stepped forward, bowed deeply, and said sincerely, "Seniors, the road to cultivation is inherently difficult, why not give them a chance to prove their worth?"
The assessment monk frowned and was about to get angry, but was moved by the sincerity in Gu Sheng's eyes. He pondered for a moment and finally nodded, "Okay, since you said so, then give them another chance."
The teenagers cheered, and Gu Sheng also took the opportunity to blend in with the people who passed the exam and stepped into Purple Sun Grotto-Heaven.
The aura here is so rich and suffocating that every breath seems to inhale the essence of the entire world. Purple air lingers among the mountains, as if the light of the sun is passing through the sky, dyeing the entire world with a layer of mysterious purple.
Gu Sheng Walking in Grotto-Heaven, you can feel the mystery and extraordinaryness here. He came to a quiet bamboo forest, and the atmosphere here made him feel particularly comfortable.
"This is it." Gu Sheng thought to himself, sat down cross-legged, and began to try to refine the mysterious "source".
This "source" contains huge life essence, and seems to be a small life universe. Gu Sheng smelted it carefully, for fear of causing any unpredictable consequences.
As time passed day by day, Gu Sheng felt that his cultivation level was steadily improving. On the night of the sixth day, a sudden change occurred!
"Rumble--" The golden Bitter Sea suddenly surged and made a terrifying sound. Gu Sheng was shocked and quickly suppressed Bitter Sea's unusual movements.
But it was too late, a middle-aged man appeared in front of Gu Sheng out of thin air. He has a keen sense of spirituality and unfathomable strength. He is the second master of Purple Sun Grotto-Heaven!
"Boy, what were you refining just now?" the middle-aged man asked coldly.
Gu Sheng's heart tightened, but he knew he couldn't reveal any flaws. He took a deep breath and said calmly, "This junior is just practicing, not refining anything."
A trace of doubt flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes, but he did not delve into it. He was silent for a moment and suddenly said, "If you have the source in your hand, I am willing to exchange it with endless wealth."
Gu Sheng was moved in his heart, but he still shook his head firmly. "The junior does not have a 'source', and cannot exchange."
The middle-aged man looked at Gu Sheng deeply, turned and left. Gu Sheng breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he had escaped disaster for the time being.
Early the next morning, several young monks broke into the bamboo forest. They looked at Gu Sheng with surprise and curiosity in their eyes.
"Why are you here?"
"Do you have a 'source' in your hand?"
The young monks asked all kinds of questions, as if they wanted to see through Gu Sheng. Gu Sheng kept smiling and answered their questions one by one, but never revealed any information about the "source".
Half an hour later, Lin Qingyu also came to the bamboo forest. She looked at Gu Sheng, with a complicated light flashing in her eyes.
