Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World Chapter 484 - 266: Treasure of the Chu Country Dragon Vein

The mythical creature roared repeatedly, unleashing Thunder Fire attacks in an attempt to force the two to retreat.

Gu Sheng and Shangguan Yudie cooperated seamlessly, one attacking and the other defending, thwarting the creature’s intentions.

"This creature is truly formidable. We must handle it carefully," Gu Sheng said while attacking.

"Yes, its physical body is extraordinarily tough—our attacks might not be able to break through its defenses," Shangguan Yudie agreed with a nod.

Both understood that to defeat the mythical creature, they would have to find its weakness.

Thus, they began their persistent probing and attacking, searching tirelessly for its flaws.

After a grueling battle, the two finally discovered the creature’s weakness—its eyes.

"Boom!"

Gu Sheng activated his Ancient Sacred Body, his whole body radiating golden light. After feinting several punches, he seized the mont to deliver a powerful blow straight to the creature’s eyes. It let out a piercing scream, raging furiously, charging chaos all around.

"Great Vajra Palm!"

The golden radiance of the Ancient Sacred Body expanded, manifesting a colossal palm-shaped shadow. Overlaying his physical palm, it pressed down like a towering mountain toward the mythical creature’s massive fra.

"Boom—"

With a deafening crash, the ground quaked violently as Gu Sheng summoned the Jade Maiden Sword. A massive golden sword shadow descended forcefully, cleaving the mythical creature in two.

"Swish!"

Green vines shot out swiftly, wrapping around the mythical creature, emitting sizzling corrosive sounds as its flesh rapidly dissolved into streams of energy absorbed by the vines.

The battle concluded, leaving the two exhausted but fulfilled as they sat by the fallen creature.

Flas danced in Gu Sheng’s hand as the creature’s at roasted over the fla, releasing a tantalizing aroma. The sizzling sound of oils contrasted starkly with the surrounding silence.

Shangguan Yudie leaned in gently, her eyes brimming with curiosity and anticipation.

She delicately picked up a piece of golden roasted at and tasted it. Instantly, its rich juices burst in her mouth.

"Wow, this creature’s at is incredibly delicious! I’ve never tasted anything so extraordinary!" Shangguan Yudie exclaid in admiration.

Gu Sheng chuckled and handed her a pot of wine:

"Not only is this creature’s body exceptionally tough, but its at is also an excellent resource for cultivation. Here, try this fruit wine—it’s a perfect complent to our adventure."

They drank together, the fragrance of the wine intermingling with the aroma of the at, as if dispelling so of the tension and fatigue from earlier.

Under the influence of the wine, Shangguan Yudie’s cheeks blood with a faint blush. The way she looked at Gu Sheng carried a hint of dazed tenderness.

Gu Sheng brought out a wooden barrel, his green vine transford into a pipe to draw from the richly saturated life essence below the ground within the mystic realm.

Soon, the barrel was filled with vibrant erald liquid, brimming with boundless vitality.

"Such concentrated life energy! If absorbed, it will considerably enhance our cultivation," Shangguan Yudie marveled.

Gu Sheng nodded and made a suggestion: "You should sit inside the barrel and absorb it; you’ll gain better results."

Though hesitant at first, Shangguan Yudie ward to the idea when she saw the sincerity in Gu Sheng’s eyes. She nodded softly.

She stepped into the barrel gracefully, instantly feeling a cool current entering her body, as though countless tiny spirits were dancing through her ridians.

Watching Shangguan Yudie’s blissful expression, a wave of warmth surged in Gu Sheng’s heart.

He removed his outer garnt and stepped into the barrel slowly, sitting shoulder to shoulder with Shangguan Yudie.

Their bodies pressed closely together, and Shangguan Yudie’s heartbeat resonated in Gu Sheng’s ears, like a harmonious lody.

Bathed in the life essence, the light radiating from both of them seed serene, as if they had beco divine lovers of the mystical realm.

"Gu Sheng, you... you’re so wonderful," Shangguan Yudie said softly, her voice tinged with shyness and ambiguity.

Gu Sheng chuckled lightly and stretched his arm to pull Shangguan Yudie into an embrace:

"Yudie, we’ve weathered so many storms together. I hope we can continue walking this path side by side."

Their hearts aligned at that mont, as if the entire world had vanished, leaving only the two of them.

They embraced quietly, savoring the rare tranquility and warmth.

Amidst the enchanting beauty of the mystic realm, their feelings flowed like the life essence—endlessly, gently, and beautifully.

After engaging in Dual Cultivation, both Gu Sheng and Shangguan Yudie radiated an aura of greater stability and profundity.

The two exchanged a knowing smile, understanding the unspoken bond between them, before continuing their quest for the Dragon Ball.

At the center of nine Holy Mountains lay a majestic golden dragon, its mouth spewing life-infused Divine Liquid like a cascading waterfall. A fist-sized Dragon Ball rested within the Divine Liquid’s nourishing embrace, gleaming with vibrant vitality.

Shangguan Yudie gazed at the Dragon Ball, a flicker of disappointnt crossing her eyes:

"Why is there only one Dragon Ball? Do we have to keep searching for the others?"

Gu Sheng gently patted her shoulder, consoling her:

"Don’t worry; there’s no way the Dragon Ball exists alone. Since there are seven Holy Mountains surrounding this place, there must be other Dragon Balls around. Let’s take our ti—we’ll find them eventually."

Just as the two moved closer to the Dragon Ball, arrays of light abruptly lit up, forming dazzling barriers.

Suddenly, an ethereal voice echoed: "You’ve fallen into my Binding Immortal Array—you’ll never escape in this lifeti!"

They looked up, and in the sky appeared an elder carrying a jade scepter, his gaze sinister and cruel, like a Demon Lord controlling all.

"For countless years, nurous prodigies have beco nothing more than fodder to nurture the Dragon Ball!"

The elder sneered coldly, saying, "The two of you have decent potential—it’s fitting for you to serve as nutrients... Don’t be afraid; becoming food for the Dragon Ball is your glory."
