Chapter 370 Seizing the Source

"Gu Sheng, do you know the importance of 'source'?" Lin Qingyu said slowly, "If you are willing to use 'source' in exchange for ten generations of blessings, I can help you arrange it."

Gu Sheng looked at Lin Qingyu's clear eyes, and his heart was in a trance. But he quickly regained consciousness and shook his head firmly: "I appreciate Miss Lin's kindness, but 'source' means a lot to me, I can't exchange it."

Lin Qingyu sighed softly and said nothing more.

Gu Sheng looked at Lin Qingyu's departing back, his heart was cold, and he sighed that people's hearts are unpredictable!

In more than ten days, Gu Sheng's cultivation has made great progress. He practiced in the bamboo forest and constantly broke through his limits. And the mysterious "source" seemed to have some kind of wonderful resonance with him, making his cultivation path smoother and unobstructed.

The good times didn't last long. As Gu Sheng's reputation in Ziyang Dongtian grew, troubles followed, and a conspiracy against him was quietly brewing.

The night was as dark as ink, and a crescent moon hung high in the sky. Gu Sheng sat cross-legged in the depths of the bamboo forest, and the surrounding spiritual energy flowed into his body like a thread. Suddenly, a burst of hurried footsteps broke the tranquility of the night.

"Gu Sheng! Come out and die!" An arrogant voice echoed in the bamboo forest.

Gu Sheng slowly opened his eyes, and a hint of coldness flashed across his face. He stood up and walked out of the bamboo forest, only to see several monks in black staring at him viciously.

"Who are you? Why are you looking for trouble with me?" Gu Sheng asked coldly.

"Haha! You ask who we are? We are the elite disciples of Ziyang Cave Heaven! You kid has provoked someone you shouldn't have provoked in the cave heaven, and now is your death!" One of the black monks said with a grin.

Gu Sheng's heart trembled, he knew that these people were coming for the "source" in his hand. He took a deep breath, secretly operated his skills, and prepared to deal with the upcoming battle.

"Humph! Want my life? Let's see who wants whose life!" Gu Sheng shouted coldly, and his figure disappeared instantly.

The black monks were stunned, then reacted and chased after him. A thrilling battle unfolded in the night.

Gu Sheng relied on his flexible body and powerful skills to fight with the black monks. Every punch and kick of his contained powerful force, which made the black monks exhausted.

"Bang--" A black monk was hit in the chest by Gu Sheng's punch and flew out. Seeing this, the other monks retreated in fear.

"You are not my opponent, so let's go!" Gu Sheng said coldly.

The black monks looked at each other, and a trace of unwillingness and fear flashed in their eyes. They knew that today's mission had failed, and continuing would only lead to their own destruction. So they turned and left, disappearing into the night.

Gu Sheng looked at the black monks who left and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hu--" A gust of wind blew, and the bamboo leaves rustled in the green bamboo forest of Ziyang Cave Heaven, as if telling unknown secrets.

Gu Sheng stood deep in the bamboo forest, his face calm, but he could not hide the determination in his eyes. Around him, Lin Qingyu and several young disciples were trying to persuade him to give up the mysterious "source".

"Gu Sheng, do you really want to take risks for this 'source'?" Lin Qingyu's voice was soft but with a hint of worry, "A mortal holding it will only bring endless disasters."

"Miss Lin, I have made up my mind." Gu Sheng's voice was firm and resolute, "This 'source' is not only wealth to me, but also the key to my practice."

Other disciples persuaded him, their words were full of urgency and worry, but Gu Sheng just smiled and shook his head, expressing his gratitude but not giving in.

At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside the bamboo forest. A knight rode a strange beast and broke into Ziyang Cave Heaven with great momentum.

"Who dares to break into my Ziyang Cave Heaven!" Ziyang Cave Heaven's second master appeared instantly and started a fierce battle with the knight.

A gleam of light flashed in Gu Sheng's eyes, and he realized that this was a good opportunity to escape. He took a deep breath, secretly operated his skills, and prepared to leave in the chaos.

"Boom——" With a loud noise, the knight was captured by the master and locked in the stone prison. Gu Sheng took the opportunity to leave quietly, but found someone following him on the way.

"Huh! Want to steal my 'source'?" Gu Sheng thought to himself. He hid behind a huge rock and prepared to give the pursuer a fatal blow.

The pursuer was getting closer and closer. Gu Sheng activated his skills, and golden light flowed all over his body. A strong breath emanated from him. He jumped out suddenly and slapped out with one palm. The golden palm instantly killed the pursuer.

Gu Sheng's actions did not end there. He felt that there were other people approaching from behind, so he accelerated his escape without looking back.

During the escape, Gu Sheng kept activating his skills, and the visions of mountains, rivers, lakes, seas, flowers, birds and beasts emerged behind him. The golden waves were rolling, and the breath was mighty. His ancient holy body was golden, as if a god of war had descended to the world.

"Swish——" A flash of sword light passed by, and Gu Sheng drew out the Xuantian Sword, a lower-grade treasure of the earth level. The sword energy was surging and extremely compelling. He waved the sword, cut off the obstacles in front of him, and moved forward.

"Where are you running!" A cold shout came, and it was one of Lin Qingyu's brothers who blocked the way. A trace of greed flashed in his eyes, and it was obvious that he also came for the "source".

Gu Sheng sneered, and his figure swept past like the wind, and the Xuantian Sword in his hand drew a perfect arc, directly hitting the opponent's vital point. The brother was shocked and hurriedly waved his sword to resist, but it was already a step too late.

With a light sound of "Puff--" the Xuantian Sword had penetrated his chest. He stared at Gu Sheng with his eyes wide open, looking at him in disbelief, as if he couldn't believe that this mortal boy had such strength.

Gu Sheng didn't stop, he knew that his whereabouts had been exposed and he had to leave as soon as possible. He flashed and disappeared into the dense bamboo forest.

His escape did not end there. More disciples of Ziyang Dongtian were alarmed and chased in this direction. Gu Sheng relied on the magical effects of the Nine Swords of Gale and the Free and Easy Immortal Steps to flexibly shuttle through the bamboo forest and avoid the pursuers.

"Swish, swish, swish--" Several sword energies attacked, but Gu Sheng cleverly dodged them. His figure was like the wind, sometimes appearing on the treetops, sometimes hiding in the grass, leaving the pursuers helpless.

Suddenly, a pursuer found Gu Sheng's trace and shouted: "He's there!" Immediately, several disciples surrounded him.

Gu Sheng sneered and activated the "Jie" secret, doubling his combat power instantly. He brandished the Xuantian Sword and fought a fierce battle with the pursuers. With the sword energy flying and the golden light flashing, several disciples fell in a pool of blood.

The remaining pursuers were frightened and retreated. Gu Sheng did not mean to let them go. He flashed and appeared behind a disciple, piercing his chest with a sword.

"Ah--" A scream sounded, and another disciple fell to the ground. Seeing this, the other disciples fled in all directions.

Gu Sheng did not continue to pursue, he knew that his goal had been achieved. He took a deep breath, sheathed the Xuantian Sword, turned around and disappeared in the dense bamboo forest.

During the escape, he felt that there were other people approaching from behind. But he did not look back, but just accelerated and ran forward.

He knew that only by escaping from this place could he find a quiet place to practice and improve his strength.

The night was as dark as ink, and the clouds and stars were sparse. Gu Sheng was running fast in the dense forest, and the disciples of Ziyang Dongtian were chasing him closely. His heartbeat was as rapid as a drum, but his steps became more and more determined.

"Swoosh--" A sound of breaking through the air sounded, and Gu Sheng instantly dodged the hidden weapon attack of a disciple, and continued to flee like the wind.

"Gu Sheng! You can't escape!" An angry shout came from behind, but it only made Gu Sheng run forward more firmly.

Suddenly, two disciples of Ziyang Dongtian blocked from the front, holding long swords, with cold light flashing in their eyes. Gu Sheng sneered, and his figure swept past like the wind, and instantly appeared behind the two people, and his hands hit their necks as fast as lightning.

"Bang! Bang!" Two muffled sounds, the two disciples fell to the ground and fell unconscious. Gu Sheng did not use the golden book, but relied on his own skills and wisdom to create this illusion, making the pursuers mistakenly believe that he only won by brute force and sneak attacks.

The sound of pursuit from behind was getting closer and closer, and Gu Sheng knew that he could not continue to escape like this. He took a deep breath, activated the power of the golden book, and his figure disappeared instantly.

"Swoosh--" Gu Sheng's figure suddenly appeared behind a pursuer, and the Xuantian Sword in his hand burst into a dazzling sword light, and he killed the opponent with one sword. Seeing this, the other disciples were terrified and retreated one after another.

Gu Sheng did not stop, and his figure shuttled between the disciples like the wind, taking a life with every move. His swordsmanship was extremely sharp, and every sword stabbed the enemy's vital points with great precision.

At this moment, a melodious bell suddenly came from the direction of Ziyang Dongtian, and all the chasing disciples stopped and looked surprised. Gu Sheng also took the opportunity to escape from the scene and disappeared into the night.

He guessed that a major incident might have happened in Ziyang Dongtian, which made the disciples stop chasing. Gu Sheng took the opportunity to throw the "source" into the river to hide, and he also found a secret cave to hide.

For half a month, he carefully avoided the pursuers and practiced his own skills. His cultivation has advanced by leaps and bounds during this period of time and has reached a new realm.

After confirming safety, Gu Sheng left the mountain where Ziyang Dongtian was located. He did not relax his vigilance because he knew that the knights of the Jiang family were still tracking him.

Gu Sheng began to wonder if other treasures on him had attracted attention. He carefully checked his belongings and finally locked his eyes on the Bodhi seed in his hand. This Bodhi seed was crystal clear and exuded a faint light, as if it contained endless Buddha power.

He thought to himself: "Could it be that this Bodhi seed attracted the knights of the Jiang family?" In order to verify his conjecture, Gu Sheng decided to hide the Bodhi seed and observe the reaction of the knights of the Jiang family.

Sure enough, after hiding the Bodhi seed, the tracking frequency of the knights of the Jiang family decreased significantly. Gu Sheng was secretly happy in his heart, knowing that his conjecture was correct.

He did not relax his vigilance because of this. Because he knew that he had so many treasures on him that it would inevitably attract the attention of others. He had to move forward more carefully to avoid falling into danger again.

In the process of escaping, Gu Sheng came to an ancient city. This ancient city has a long history, with towering ancient trees on both sides of the streets and simple and elegant architectural styles. Gu Sheng shuttled through the streets, feeling the cultural heritage of this ancient city.

Suddenly, he felt a strong breath locking on him. Gu Sheng was startled and looked up, only to see an old man standing not far away looking at him. The old man was wearing a gray robe, his hair and beard were all white, and his eyes were shining.

"Friend Gu Sheng, I am Elder Han of Lingxu Dongtian." The old man said with a smile, "I have been looking for you for a long time."

Gu Sheng's heart sank. He knew that Elder Han had a bad reputation. He was good at refining medicine and often used monks with high cultivation as the main medicine for refining medicine. He took a deep breath and tried to stay calm and said, "What does Elder Han want to talk to me about?"

"Haha!" Elder Han laughed, "Little friend Gu Sheng, don't be nervous. I heard that you have a rare treasure, so I came here to find out."

Gu Sheng cursed "old fox" in his heart, but kept a smile on his face and said, "Elder Han is joking. I am just an ordinary monk. How can I have any rare treasure?"

"Humph!" Elder Han snorted coldly, "Little friend Gu Sheng, don't hide it. I have already investigated everything. You have many treasures on you, and each one is a rare treasure. Especially the Bodhi seed, it makes me excited."

Gu Sheng's heart tightened. He knew that his background had been figured out by the other party. It was meaningless to hide it at this time. He took a deep breath and said, "Since Elder Han already knows my secret, I have nothing to hide. But what I want to know is what is Elder Han's purpose in looking for me?"

"Haha!" Elder Han laughed again, "Young friend Gu Sheng is really straightforward! I won't beat around the bush. I came here this time to borrow your treasure."

"Borrow?" Gu Sheng sneered, "I'm afraid Elder Han's borrowing is borrowing without returning it?"

"Humph! Young friend Gu Sheng, don't refuse to drink a toast!" Elder Han's face sank, "I have given you enough face. If you don't know how to appreciate it, don't blame me for being rude!"

Gu Sheng took a deep breath. He knew that today's battle was inevitable. He activated his skills, and golden light flowed all over his body, as if a god of war had descended to the earth. His eyes flashed with a determined light, ready to fight Elder Han to the end!

The night was hazy, and the moonlight fell, but it could not illuminate the depths of this dense forest. Gu Sheng was escorted by Elder Han to a barren mountain in Yandi. On Elder Han's dry face, a pair of eyes flashed with a cold light, as if looking at a prey that had already been caught.

"Boy, don't think about running away." Elder Han said coldly, with unquestionable majesty in his tone, "The treasures on you and the body of the ancient saint will become the materials for me to refine the resurrection pill."

Gu Sheng's heart sank, but he did not give up. He secretly operated his skills and prepared to find an opportunity to fight back. His ancient saint body emitted a faint golden light in the night, as if it was the external manifestation of his unyielding will.

Suddenly, Elder Han stopped and looked around vigilantly. Gu Sheng also felt the strange breath around him, and his heart moved. Could it be that reinforcements have come? (End of this chapter)
