While on the run, Gu Sheng unexpectedly returned to Uncle Jiang's small restaurant.

When the kind old man saw him coming back in such a mess, he didn't ask any questions, but silently prepared a clean room and a sumptuous dinner for him.

Gu Sheng was extremely grateful for this favor. He knew that in this critical moment, any help from anyone would be invaluable.

He couldn't stay for long, so after nightfall the next day, he quietly left the town under the cover of darkness and continued his escape.

Three days later, Gu Sheng finally escaped to a prosperous city in Yan State. It was populous, with wide streets, numerous shops, busy traffic and great bustle. He felt that only the vast sea of ​​people could hide him and allow him to temporarily escape the shadow of pursuit.

Gu Sheng was exhausted from running around on the run these days, and he only breathed a sigh of relief after entering the city.

When he wanted to find some food to fill his stomach, he found that he was penniless. This made him smile bitterly. It was really a case of adding insult to injury!
It was already noon and the streets were filled with the aroma of various delicacies, but Gu Sheng could only wander the streets with an empty stomach.

At this moment, a familiar and indifferent voice suddenly sounded in his ears: "Hey, isn't this Gu Sheng? How did you fall to this point?"

Gu Sheng turned his head and saw a woman in gorgeous clothes staring at him coldly. The woman was beautiful and elegant. It was his ex-girlfriend Lin Qingyu. Now she has joined the respected Zi Yang Dong Tian and become a practitioner.

Seeing Gu Sheng in such a miserable state, a hint of disdain and arrogance flashed in Lin Qingyu's eyes.

She once had expectations for Gu Sheng, but now it seemed that he had completely become a beggar, which made her feel extremely disappointed and contemptuous.

"Lin Qingyu..." Gu Sheng gritted his teeth and spat out these three words, his heart filled with humiliation and anger, "Are you here to see my joke?"

"Humph, you are wrong." Lin Qingyu snorted coldly, "I just came to see how miserable you, a former genius, have become now. It seems that you are really nothing after leaving me."

Gu Sheng was furious when he heard this. He clenched his fists and his aura surged, but then he calmed down. He knew that his current strength was no match for Lin Qingyu, and he didn't want to lose his composure in front of this woman.

So he took a deep breath and said, "Are you so great now? You are just a dog in Ziyang Cave Heaven!"

"You!" Lin Qingyu was angered by Gu Sheng's words. She stared at Gu Sheng with a sullen face for a while, then snorted coldly and turned away, "Hmph! You ungrateful thing! Just continue begging on the street!" After that, she left without looking back, leaving Gu Sheng alone in a daze.

He looked at Lin Qingyu's departing back, his heart filled with bitterness and helplessness. He knew that his relationship with this woman was completely over and there was no possibility anymore.

At this moment, a powerful aura suddenly descended from the sky and enveloped Gu Sheng. "Haha! I finally found you!" An arrogant voice sounded in the sky, "Gu Sheng, where do you want to escape this time?"

Gu Sheng looked up and saw a group of knights dressed in Jiang family costumes flying in the sky. They were staring at him menacingly, as if they wanted to eat him alive. The knight leader in the group was none other than the Jiang family master who had been chasing him before!

At this moment, the pedestrians on the street were frightened by this sudden change and fled in all directions, but Gu Sheng stood there without moving. He knew that he had no way out and could only fight to the death to survive.

"You finally caught up with us..." Gu Sheng took a deep breath and said slowly, "In that case, let's end it all!" After saying that, his aura surged and he was ready to face the upcoming life-and-death battle.

The Jiang family knights in the sky also drew their weapons and prepared for battle. For a moment, the entire street was filled with a solemn and tense atmosphere.

A fierce battle is about to break out!

Gu Sheng's figure flashed and he rushed towards the Jiang family knights.

His speed was so fast, like lightning, dazzling.

His fist was shining with golden light, as if containing endless power.

"Oh!"

Gu Sheng's fist smashed hard into a Jiang family knight. The knight was struck by lightning and flew out, falling heavily to the ground and falling unconscious.

The other knights were shocked when they saw this. They didn't expect Gu Sheng to be so powerful.

"Nine Swords of Gale!"

Gu Sheng let out a low shout, and his figure flashed again. The Xuantian Sword in his hand turned into nine sword lights, attacking the remaining eight knights one by one.

Those knights could not see the trajectory of Gu Sheng's sword skills at all and could only dodge by instinct.

Gu Sheng's swordsmanship was so strange and unpredictable that several knights were stabbed and fell to the ground in the blink of an eye.

"Shadow Hiding Skill!"

Gu Sheng's figure suddenly disappeared from the spot, as if blending into the darkness.

The remaining knights looked around in panic, trying to find any trace of Gu Sheng.

However, they found that they had lost their target and could not locate Gu Sheng at all.

At this moment, Gu Sheng suddenly appeared from behind a knight and slapped him on the back of the head.

The knight fell to the ground without even a grunt.

Seeing this, the other knights drew their weapons and looked around vigilantly, fearing that Gu Sheng would suddenly attack from the darkness.

Gu Sheng did not continue to attack, but stood there and looked at them coldly.

"You are no match for me. Go back and tell Jiang Yifei and Jiang Caixuan that I, Gu Sheng, will be back! Tell them to clean their necks and wait for me!" After saying that, he turned and left, leaving behind a group of Jiang family knights looking at each other in bewilderment.

They knew that they had encountered a powerful opponent today, and this person threatened to come back and cause trouble for the Jiang family, which made them feel extremely panicked and uneasy.

But at this moment, Gu Sheng had already disappeared in the vast crowd and continued his escape.

"Swish——" A sound of breaking wind was heard, and Gu Sheng's figure shuttled through the jungle like a ghost. Behind him, the knights of the Jiang family were chasing him closely, but they could never touch the corner of his clothes.

Gu Sheng's eyes flashed with determination, he knew he couldn't keep running like this. Just then, a prosperous city came into view, he decided to blend into the crowd to get rid of the pursuers.

Entering the city, Gu Sheng was instantly surrounded by the hustle and bustle. His shabby clothes were out of tune with the prosperity of the city, attracting the attention of passers-by. At this moment, a familiar voice came into his ears: "Gu Sheng, is that you?"

Gu Sheng turned around and saw that it was Lin Qingyu. She was surprised but soon regained her composure. The young men and women who were traveling with her were disdainful, and one of them even said rudely: "Where did you come from, beggar? Get out of the way!"

"He is my neighbor." Lin Qingyu said, with a hint of subtle complex emotions in his voice.

"Oh? Your neighbor?" A man raised his eyebrows and looked Gu Sheng up and down. "Looking at his poor appearance, do you have the nerve to recognize him as your neighbor?"

Gu Sheng had a blank expression on his face, as if he hadn't heard these words. He knew that he was indeed down and out now, but he would never bow his head because of this. "Okay, stop talking." Lin Qingyu interrupted the man, "Gu Sheng, you...how did you become like this?"

"Nothing, just some troubles." Gu Sheng said lightly. He didn't want to explain his experience in too much.

"Oh, he looks so pitiful, let's give him some money so he can buy some decent clothes." Another man said, taking out a handful of copper coins from his pocket and throwing them on the ground.

Gu Sheng looked at the copper coins on the ground, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes. He took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and turned to leave.

"Stop! Who told you to leave?" The man who had spoken rudely before suddenly stood in front of Gu Sheng.

"Our Junior Sister Qingyu was talking to you, and you just left like that? Don't you think too highly of our Ziyang Cave Heaven?"

Gu Sheng frowned. He didn't want to have a conflict with these people, but the other party obviously didn't intend to let him go.

At this moment, a powerful aura suddenly burst out from Gu Sheng, causing the surrounding air to tremble slightly.

"The secret realm of Wheel Sea has opened up the Sea of ​​Bitterness!" someone exclaimed.

The wheel of life under Gu Sheng's navel began to rotate slowly, and the shadows of mountains, rivers, lakes, flowers, birds and strange beasts emerged in it. The golden waves rolled endlessly, and the aura was powerful.

His body seemed to be shrouded in golden light, and an aura of an ancient holy body permeated the air.

Everyone looked at this scene in amazement. They didn't expect that this seemingly down-and-out young man actually possessed such powerful cultivation.

Gu Sheng ignored their surprise, turned around and strode away.

He knew that he couldn't stay here for long, otherwise it would only bring more trouble.

"Senior Brother, he..." Lin Qingyu wanted to say something but was interrupted by a man next to him.

"Let him go! We in Zi Yang Dong Tian are not people that anyone can mess with!" the man snorted coldly.

Although they were shocked by Gu Sheng's cultivation and visions in their hearts, they still maintained their arrogance and disdain on the surface.

Gu Sheng's figure gradually disappeared in the crowd, and his appearance also caused quite a stir in Ziyang Cave Heaven.

Lin Qingyu looked at Gu Sheng's departing back, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes.

She knew that this former neighbor was no longer the unknown boy.

His appearance may bring a storm to the world.

At the same time, in another corner of the city, the knights of the Jiang family were searching for Gu Sheng.

They didn't know that the target they were chasing had quietly left the city and fled to a farther place.

After flying for a few days, Gu Sheng approached a barrier and arrived at the Zi Yang Cave Heaven.

Gu Sheng stood in front of the mountain gate of Ziyang Cave Heaven, his heart surging. This was not only because he had finally found a refuge where he could escape the Jiang family's pursuit, but also because he was about to step into a brand new world of cultivation full of unknowns.

"Boom--" The stone tablet in front of the mountain gate seemed to sense Gu Sheng's arrival and made a low roar, with purple mist lingering around, like a dream.

Gu Sheng's eyes were attracted by several young men who were kneeling in front of the mountain gate. Their eyes were full of desire and unwillingness, as if they were telling about the hardships they had experienced on their own path of cultivation.

"Please, give us another chance!"

"We have worked so hard for so long, we really don't want to give up just like that!"

The young men's cries of pleas came one after another, but the monk in charge of the examination had a blank expression on his face, as if he was accustomed to such scenes.

Gu Sheng's heart moved. He stepped forward, bowed deeply, and said sincerely: "My fellow elders, the path of cultivation is difficult. Why not give them a chance to prove their worth?"

The examiner frowned and was about to get angry, but was moved by the sincerity in Gu Sheng's eyes. He pondered for a moment and finally nodded: "Okay, since you said so, let's give them another chance."

The young men cheered, and Gu Sheng took the opportunity to blend into the crowd of people who passed the test and stepped into the Zi Yang Cave.

The spiritual energy here is so rich that it is suffocating. Every breath seems to be able to absorb the essence of the entire world. Purple air lingers between the mountains, as if the light of the scorching sun is passing through the sky, dyeing the whole world with a layer of mysterious purple.

Gu Sheng strolled in the cave, feeling the mystery and extraordinaryness of the place. He came to a quiet bamboo forest, where the atmosphere made him feel particularly comfortable.

"This is it." Gu Sheng said to himself, sat down cross-legged, and began to try to refine the mysterious "source".

This "source" contained a huge amount of life essence, like a small life universe. Gu Sheng melted it carefully, fearing that it would cause unpredictable consequences if he was not careful.

As time went by, Gu Sheng felt that his cultivation was improving steadily. On the night of the sixth day, something strange happened!

"Boom boom boom" The golden bitter sea suddenly surged, making a terrifying sound. Gu Sheng was startled and quickly suppressed the movement of the bitter sea.

But it was too late. A middle-aged man suddenly appeared in front of Gu Sheng. He had a keen sense of perception and unfathomable strength. He was the second best master in Ziyang Cave Heaven!
"Boy, what were you refining just now?" the middle-aged man asked coldly.

Gu Sheng's heart tightened, but he knew he couldn't reveal any flaws. He took a deep breath and said calmly, "I am just practicing, I haven't refined anything."

A trace of doubt flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes, but he did not delve into it. He was silent for a moment, and suddenly said: "If you have the 'source' in your hand, I am willing to exchange it for endless wealth."

Gu Sheng's heart moved, but he still shook his head firmly: "Junior does not have the 'source', and cannot exchange it."

The middle-aged man looked at Gu Sheng deeply, then turned and left. Gu Sheng breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he had escaped a disaster for the time being.

The next morning, several young monks broke into the bamboo forest. They looked at Gu Sheng with surprise and curiosity in their eyes.

"How will you be here?"

"Do you have the 'Source' in your hand?"

The young monks asked in unison, as if they wanted to see through Gu Sheng. Gu Sheng kept smiling and answered their questions one by one, but he never revealed any information about the "source".

Half an hour later, Lin Qingyu also came to the bamboo forest. She looked at Gu Sheng, with a complicated light flashing in her eyes. (End of this chapter)
