Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World

Gu Sheng exhaled lightly, sighing with relief in his heart. ”It’s still the green copper block—otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable!”

Once Gu Sheng’s vitality steadied, he attempted to use the cauldron to extract the Holy Blood of the Demon Emperor.

Doing so would justify becoming the host of the Demon Emperor’s Heart and serve as some small compensation for himself.

At the same time, Gu Sheng knew this action was a gamble. If he failed, he might lose his life.

With that, he pointed the cauldron at the Demon Emperor’s Holy Blood and struck forcefully.

Instantly, a strong suction force emanated from within the cauldron.

The Holy Blood of the Demon Emperor seemed drawn by some unseen attraction, as a single drop of luminous blood flowed into the cauldron.

Upon entering the cauldron, the bloodlight immediately rushed toward Gu Sheng’s limbs and bones.

Gu Sheng suddenly felt a surge of immense power flooding into his body.

The power felt like an endless spring, instantly nourishing his entire being.

To everyone’s astonishment, Gu Sheng’s skin began to change, gradually turning blood-red.

Gu Sheng felt his body brimming with power, a level of strength that left him astounded.

”This...”

Yan Ruyu, who stood nearby, was stunned in place.

”What’s happening? Why does he look like he’s been roasted alive?”

Bai Yiyi also exclaimed with a shocked expression.

”Roasted alive? Nonsense. This is the Great Emperor’s Heart nourishing his body.”

An elderly woman explained with a slightly annoyed tone.

After speaking, she glanced at Gu Sheng and nodded. ”This Sacred Body truly is extraordinary. It can merge with the Great Emperor’s Heart so perfectly, and so quickly, too—it seems destiny plays a role here.”

”Is Young Master Gu truly alright?”

Yan Ruyu asked cautiously in a soft voice.

”Don’t worry, Your Highness. He will be fine. The Great Emperor’s Heart and Young Master Gu’s body complement and nourish each other—it will endure for eternity.”

The elderly woman nodded respectfully as she spoke.

Hearing this, Yan Ruyu and Bai Yiyi finally calmed down.

At that moment, Gu Sheng utilized the power of the Great Emperor’s Heart to integrate the single drop of Holy Blood into his bloodstream.

When he stood up again, he felt the tremendous power within his body and couldn’t help but reveal a subtle smile.

Yan Ruyu took light steps forward, looking at Gu Sheng with a mix of concern and curiosity in her eyes. She asked softly, ”Young Master Gu, is your body truly unharmed? Can you fully command the power of the Demon Emperor’s Heart?”

Gu Sheng could sense Yan Ruyu’s care and smiled faintly.

Then, he stood straight, his muscles faintly bulging beneath his clothes, revealing exceptional strength.

He extended his arm, gently clenched his fist, and his muscle contours became as finely chiseled as a sculpture.

”Whoosh!”

Simultaneously, a surge of divine power flowed through, emitting a faint glow.

”Your Highness, look.”

Gu Sheng spoke as he harnessed the power within him.

The muscles in his arm became even firmer, seeming to contain boundless energy.

In front of Yan Ruyu, Gu Sheng lightly swung his fist a few times.

Surprisingly, faint ripples emerged in the air, proving how remarkable his inner strength was.

He looked at Yan Ruyu, a hint of pride flashing in his eyes, and chuckled. ”Divine power like this—Your Highness, how does it feel?”

Yan Ruyu stared at Gu Sheng, his solid muscles and divine power leaving her visibly astonished.

However, Yan Ruyu soon furrowed her brows lightly.

She turned her head to the elderly woman nearby and asked, ”Am I really supposed to cultivate with him in the future?”

”This...”

The elderly woman hesitated slightly, sensing that Yan Ruyu’s tone held some resistance.

”That is a decision Your Highness must make yourself, so I cannot reply.”

The elderly woman bowed her head in response.

”Alright then.”

Yan Ruyu understood the implication behind the reply.

”Young Master Gu, for now, you may stay here. In a few days, I will have Yiyi arrange your accommodations.”

After speaking, Yan Ruyu prepared to leave.

”A few days? Why not now?”

Gu Sheng asked with a smile.

”Just wait. Do as Her Highness says.”

Bai Yiyi immediately stepped forward and glared at Gu Sheng.

Soon after, Yan Ruyu left the hut, accompanied by the crowd.
