Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World

”Hehe~ You jest, my friend.” Wu Dewang laughed awkwardly. ”Since I’ve brought you all the way here, how could I quit so easily?”

Sharing knowing smiles, the group proceeded cautiously toward the stone gate...

The moment they stepped through the gate, a surge of ancient, mysterious energy enveloped them, as though attempting to swallow them whole.

”Everyone, stay alert!” Gu Sheng warned, simultaneously releasing his Divine Sense to probe the surroundings. ”It feels like there’s some ancient force guarding this land.”

The group nodded in agreement, each deploying their own Divine Sense to keep a vigilant watch over their surroundings.

As they followed an ancient stone staircase deeper into the site, they soon emerged into a sprawling expanse of ruins. The remains indicated that this had once been an imposing complex of palaces—but now, only decay and destruction remained.

”It seems a great battle took place here long ago!” Xing Lie marveled. ”Judging by the architectural style, these ruins must date back to the Ancient times.”

”Indeed!” Gu Sheng nodded. ”And judging by the scars left here, the battle must have been unimaginably fierce.”

Pressing onward, the group eventually arrived before a grand hall. Though the structure was in shambles, traces of its former glory and magnificence were still discernible.

”This should be the central area of the Forbidden Desolate Land,” Wu Dewang pointed out. ”The treasures we’re looking for should be inside.”

Gu Sheng frowned slightly. He couldn’t shake the feeling that the place was both eerie and dangerous, but his curiosity drove him forward nonetheless.

Without further hesitation, the group stepped into the hall.

Upon entering, an overwhelming pressure engulfed them—a sensation akin to having a massive, invisible mountain weighing down on their hearts, making even breathing arduous.
