Chapter 363 The Sea of Bitterness's Greed for the Essence of Life
He found that his cultivation method was different from the "Tao Jing" he had learned before. This difference was like a gap, hindering his progress. But Gu Sheng was not discouraged. He thought carefully and constantly corrected his cultivation methods.
Gradually, he felt that the sea of bitterness in his body began to stir, and the golden waves surged, as if they were going to swallow everything. At the same time, his ancient holy body also began to emit bright golden light, with mysterious power flowing through it.
"Buzz buzz-"
As Gu Sheng's skills were activated, strange phenomena began to appear in the wheel of life under his navel. Mountains, rivers, lakes, flowers, birds and animals... everything seems to be reappearing in this sea of wheels. The golden waves are rolling endlessly, exuding a monstrous aura and power.
Gu Sheng's heart moved, he stretched out his palm, and saw a golden palm appearing out of thin air as the golden light flowed, exuding a powerful aura. Immediately afterwards, he punched out again, and the golden fist instantly penetrated the air in front of him, making a deafening explosion.
"Is this the power of the ancient holy body?" Gu Sheng secretly marveled. He felt as if he had turned into a golden god of war, possessing the power to destroy heaven and earth.
With the deepening of cultivation, Gu Sheng's exercises and martial arts gradually merged with the ancient holy body. He unleashed the Nine Gale Swords, and saw nine golden sword lights slashing out instantly, as if they could tear through all obstacles. And his invisibility and shadow hiding skills are even more elusive, making it difficult for people to detect him.
What's even more amazing is that his grass and vine demon soul has also become more agile. The grass vines more than 10,000 meters long entangled behind him like a giant dragon, ready to launch a fatal attack at any time. And the terrifying corrosive ability is even more frightening.
In addition, Gu Sheng also mastered a mysterious space jumping secret technique. He is able to travel through space within a range of more than a thousand meters. This ability allows him to be at ease in battle and come and go with ease.
The Dream Butterfly Map is his trump card. He can simulate the state of Zhuang Zhou's dream butterfly and transfer the enemy's attack into the illusory dream, thereby resolving the crisis.
As for Ji Zi Mi, one of the Nine Secrets, his combat power doubled instantly. When he activated Ji Zimi, golden light shone all over his body, as if a golden giant stood between heaven and earth, unstoppable.
Gu Sheng slowly opened his eyes, his eyes flashing with sharp light. He felt that his power had reached a new level and he was filled with confidence.
"I am no longer what I used to be. It's time to go out and have some experience." Gu Sheng thought to himself. He stood up and stretched his muscles, making crackling sounds all over his body.
At this moment, Tingting's voice came from outside the door: "Brother, have you finished practicing? It's time to have dinner."
Gu Sheng smiled slightly, opened the door and walked out. He saw Tingting and the old man busy preparing dinner, and a warm current surged in his heart. In this strange world, they gave him the warmth and care of home.
"Tingting, I've finished practicing. What should we eat tonight?" Gu Sheng asked with a smile.
"Brother, tonight we have your favorite braised pork!" Tingting replied with a smile. There was an innocent smile on her face, as if a ray of sunshine lit up the whole room.
Gu Sheng felt a warmth, this must be the charm of the world. At this moment, he knew very well that he had a feeling that he wanted to protect Tingting's family, the old and the young, like his relatives.
After dinner, Gu Sheng walked out of the hut.
The night is hazy and the stars are dotted. In the mountains and forests, Gu Sheng was alone with his eyes as bright as a torch. He was looking for the legendary "source". This is not only to improve his own cultivation, but also to protect those he cherishes.
"call--"
Gu Sheng took a deep breath. He could feel every breath of life in this mountain forest. The special perception ability of the Ancient Holy Body made it seem like he could see through the veins of this land.
"Source" is the condensed form of the purest life essence in the world. For practitioners, it is a supreme treasure. Gu Sheng knew that if his ancient holy body wanted to go further, this "source" was the key.
His heart was full of expectation and determination, as if he had already seen the day when his sea of suffering would be churning and the golden light would overflow.
"Huh? This is..."
Suddenly, Gu Sheng's brows raised, and he felt a strange aura. It was an ancient and mysterious power that seemed to be calling him.
Gu Sheng followed this aura and moved forward cautiously. His steps were light and steady, like a cheetah moving through the jungle.
Finally, he came to a clearing surrounded by ancient trees. There, a crystal clear "source" was lying quietly on the ground, emitting an alluring light.
"Haha, I finally found you!"
Gu Sheng felt ecstatic in his heart. He carefully picked up the "source" and felt the powerful life essence contained in it.
At this moment, a cold breath suddenly came. Gu Sheng turned around suddenly and saw a man in black staring coldly at the "source" in his hand.
"Boy, hand over the source and I will spare your life." The man in black threatened.
Gu Sheng sneered, there was no fear in his eyes. "If you want 'source', it depends on whether you have the ability."
Before he finished speaking, Gu Sheng activated his technique, and his ancient holy body burst out with bright golden light. The golden light was as dazzling as the scorching sun, causing the man in black to squint his eyes.
"Nine Swords of Gale!"
Gu Sheng shouted low, and the Xuantian Sword in his hand instantly turned into nine rays of sword light, like nine long silver dragons, roaring towards the man in black.
The man in black's expression changed drastically. He didn't expect Gu Sheng to be so powerful. He hurriedly avoided, but it was too late. Nine rays of sword light instantly penetrated his body and pinned him to the ground.
"You...who are you?" The man in black struggled to ask.
"Hmph, you don't deserve to know my name." Gu Sheng said coldly. He stepped forward and put "Yuan" in his bag.
Gu Sheng won this battle cleanly. He knew that this "source" would bring great help to his cultivation. He felt the life essence contained in the "source" and his heart was full of expectations.
Back in the town, Gu Sheng carefully placed "Yuan". He looked at this crystal clear treasure and his heart was filled with emotion. He knew that this was an important turning point in his cultivation path.
In the following days, Gu Sheng began to practice in seclusion. He took the life essence in the "source" and felt the endless rolling of golden waves in the sea of suffering. His ancient holy body became more and more powerful under the nourishment of life essence.
A month later, Gu Sheng came out of seclusion. His body exuded a powerful aura, as if a golden god of war had descended into the world. He knew that he had become stronger. And all of this is to protect those he holds dear.
"Li family, your doom has come." Gu Sheng murmured to himself, a cold light flashing in his eyes. He knew that the coming battle would determine the fate of the town. And he will use his own strength to prove everything!
It was already late at night when Gu Sheng walked out of the retreat, but the lights in the town were still bright. Looking at those familiar faces, he felt a warm current in his heart. Here he found the feeling of home and the goal of struggle.
"Big brother!" Xiao Tingting ran over excitedly when she saw Gu Sheng come out of seclusion, "You are finally out of seclusion, we are all worried about you!"
Gu Sheng smiled and touched Xiao Tingting's head, "Don't worry, I'm fine." He said, turning his eyes to Old Man Jiang, "Old man, you have worked hard these days."
"It's not hard, it's not hard." Old Man Jiang said with a smile, "It's good that you are back. We are all looking forward to your next actions!"
Gu Sheng nodded, his eyes becoming firm, "I won't let you down."
In the next few days, Gu Sheng began to prepare for the operation against the Li family. He knows that this battle will involve the future of the town, so he must proceed with caution.
He found the town's blacksmith shop and began to forge some special weapons and equipment. His technique is as skillful and precise as that of an experienced blacksmith.
"Brother, what are you building?" Xiao Tingting asked curiously.
"This is a secret weapon." Gu Sheng smiled mysteriously, "You will know when the time comes."
A few days later, when Gu Sheng stood in front of the Li family's mansion, his heart was full of determination and confidence. He knows that this battle will change everything, and he will use his own strength to write a new legend!
Under the cover of night, Gu Sheng sneaked into the Li family's mansion like a ghost. His movements were light and agile, making no sound.
When he came to the Li family's treasure house, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes. He knew that all the wealth and power of the Li family was hidden here, and he was going to destroy it all!
Gu Sheng activated the technique, and the ancient holy body burst out with bright golden light. He rushed into the treasure house like a golden god of war, wielding the Xuantian Sword in his hand with earth-shattering sword light.
"ah--"
The guards of the Li family were unable to resist Gu Sheng's attack. They fell to the ground one by one and screamed.
Gu Sheng ran rampant in the Li family's mansion like a tiger among sheep. Wherever his sword light passed, no one could stop him!
When the head of the Li family saw this scene, his face turned extremely pale. "You...who are you?" he asked in a trembling voice.
"I am Gu Sheng." Gu Sheng said coldly, "Today is the end of your Li family!"
After saying that, he waved the Xuantian Sword in his hand again, and a golden sword light instantly struck the head of the Li family.
That night, the whole town was shaken. They saw Gu Sheng's figure like a god of war, galloping wantonly in the Li family's mansion. They know that this battle will change the fate of the town!
This is just a small side branch of the Li family, and the real power of the main Li family is still behind it.
At the moment, improving strength is the most realistic thing. Gu Sheng found a secluded place and began to refine the recently obtained spiritual grass and source.
"boom!"
With a roar in Gu Sheng's body, his sea of suffering finally expanded. The space the size of a finger instantly expanded to the size of a pigeon egg, containing nineteen divine patterns, shining with mysterious light. A powerful aura emanated from him, as if it was about to envelop the entire town.
Gu Sheng stood in the mountain forest, feeling the surging power in his body, with a satisfied smile on his face. He clenched his fist, and golden light flowed on his fist, as if it contained the power to destroy the world.
"Is this the power of the Wheel Sea Secret Realm and the Bitter Sea Realm?" He murmured to himself, his eyes shining with excitement.
Gu Sheng's figure shuttled quickly through the mountains and forests. He was testing his new strength. Every punch and every kick carried a fierce momentum, as if he could tear the air apart.
Soon after, he returned to the town and walked into Old Man Jiang's small restaurant. Uncle Jiang and Xiao Tingting were busy preparing breakfast. When they saw Gu Sheng coming back, they both smiled happily.
"Gu Sheng, you're back! Come and have breakfast!" Old Man Jiang greeted enthusiastically.
The three of them sat together and enjoyed a simple breakfast. Gu Sheng was eating and studying the "Tao Jing" in his hand. However, he soon discovered that the ancient characters on the pages began to become blurry.
"These ancient characters..." He frowned, an ominous premonition welling up in his heart, "I must remember them in my heart as soon as possible."
At this moment, there was a sudden noise on the streets of the town. Gu Sheng looked up and saw a yellow-faced middle-aged man, Manager Liu, walking over menacingly with a group of thugs.
"Old Jiang, prepare some food and drinks for us quickly!" Manager Liu shouted as soon as he entered the door.
Old Man Jiang looked embarrassed: "Manager Liu, I'm really sorry. We are just a small restaurant here and we have not prepared any food or drinks..."
"There's no food or drinks?" Manager Liu glared at Old Man Jiang and slammed the table, "Then why do you want to open a restaurant? Hurry up and do it!"
"But..." Old Man Jiang wanted to explain, but was pushed to the ground by Manager Liu. Seeing this, Xiao Tingting hurriedly ran over to help her grandfather up, but was roughly pushed away by a thug.
"What are you doing?" Gu Sheng stood up abruptly and glared at Manager Liu and others, "In broad daylight, you are bullying the people like this!"
Manager Liu glanced at Gu Sheng with a disdainful smile on his face: "Hey, isn't this our town hero Gu Sheng? What, you want to meddle in others' business too?"
"This is no idle matter!" Gu Sheng said coldly, "You bully the people like this, how can I just sit back and watch?"
"Hahaha!" Manager Liu laughed, "Who do you think you are? Do you think you can just walk away after becoming a monk? Let me tell you, it's not your turn to run wild in this small town!"
With that said, he waved his hand to his men to come forward and teach Gu Sheng a lesson. However, Gu Sheng smiled coldly and slammed the table: "Want to fight? I will fight to the end!"
Before he finished speaking, he flashed and appeared in front of a thug. Before the thug could react, he was punched away by Gu Sheng. Then, like a tiger descending from a mountain, Gu Sheng rampaged through the restaurant, knocking down Manager Liu's men one by one.
"You... how dare you do this!" Manager Liu backed away in horror, the arrogance on his face disappearing without a trace.
Gu Sheng looked at him coldly: "Manager Liu, you bully the people and do many evil things. Today is the end of you!"
After saying that, he grabbed Manager Liu by his collar and picked him up. Then he suddenly shook his hand and threw Manager Liu onto the street outside the restaurant. Pedestrians on the street gathered around to watch, and comments broke out one after another. (End of chapter)
