"Senior Brother Gu Sheng is truly a prodigy! To have entered the Wheel Sea Secret Realm at such a young age—it’s truly enviable!" another disciple marveled.

Despite the praise pouring in, Gu Sheng remained neither arrogant nor complacent.

The energy of the Wheel Sea Secret Realm surged vehently within Gu Sheng, like turbulent ocean waves. Since breaking through to this realm, he felt as though he had been reborn, his body brimming with an unprecedented strength.

"Wheel Sea Secret Realm—this must be the divide between immortals and mortals," Gu Sheng muttered to himself, his eyes glinting with longing for the unknown powers.

Cultivators of the Wheel Sea Secret Realm could sense the flow of Spiritual Energy in the heavens and earth, and even guide this energy for their own use. Gu Sheng took a deep breath, clearly perceiving the Spiritual Energy in the air flowing like gentle streams, converging into his body and nourishing his Wheel Sea.

"The current is no longer the ignorant novice of the past," Gu Sheng said with a confident smile, already setting his sights on a new target—the Gathering Spirit Secret Realm of the Destruction Hall.

The Gathering Spirit Secret Realm, as the na suggests, was a place overflowing with Spiritual Energy. Legend said that it was ho to the rare Gathering Spirit Grass and possibly even the mythical Gathering Spirit King Immortal Herb. These Immortal Herbs were treasures beyond imagination, capable of providing unparalleled assistance in cultivation—objects coveted by all cultivators.

Gu Sheng arrived at the Destruction Hall, where the towering structure stood atop a mist-shrouded peak like an insurmountable mountain. Taking a deep breath, he stepped toward the hall.

"Who goes there?" the guard at the hall’s entrance demanded.

"Gu Sheng, seeking the entrance to the Gathering Spirit Secret Realm," Gu Sheng replied calmly and unfalteringly.

The guards exchanged a glance, a look of hesitation crossing their faces. "The Gathering Spirit Secret Realm is a heavily restricted area of the Destruction Hall. Entry is forbidden to anyone not a disciple of our sect."

Gu Sheng smiled faintly, drawing from his robes a Token. "This is a token granted to by your elder—might exceptions be made?"

The guard took the token and examined it carefully. His expression shifted slightly. "So you are a distinguished guest of the elder. My apologies for the discourtesy. Please follow ."

Passing through layer upon layer of mist, Gu Sheng finally reached the entrance to the Gathering Spirit Secret Realm. A vast valley stretched before his eyes, Spiritual Energy brimming in abundance, with exotic flowers and grasses flourishing across the expanse.

"This is the Gathering Spirit Secret Realm. Please explore as you wish," the guard said respectfully.

Gu Sheng nodded in gratitude before stepping into the valley. He felt as though he had stepped into a natural vortex of Spiritual Energy, every inch of his skin greedily absorbing the surrounding essence.

As he walked, he continued searching for Gathering Spirit Grass, quickly amassing a significant harvest. Just as he was preparing to leave, his eyes fell upon an extraordinary herb—crystalline and luminous, radiating a subtle glow.

"The Gathering Spirit King Immortal Herb!" Gu Sheng’s eyes sparkled with astonishnt. He carefully approached the herb, fearing that a misstep might damage it.

Just as he was about to touch the herb, an imnsely powerful aura suddenly descended.

"Who dares trespass in the forbidden land of my Destruction Hall, and attempts to steal the Gathering Spirit King Immortal Herb?" A voice filled with authority roared in Gu Sheng’s ears, reverberating with overwhelming force.
