Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World novel Chapter 1216

Chapter 1216: Chapter 632: The Ceremony of Bowing

He had a thought in his mind; he needed to go to the Book Collection Pavilion and ask Daoist Xiushan for help.

The Book Collection Pavilion was quiet and solemn. Rows of towering bookshelves were filled with various ancient texts and secret manuals, exuding a faint scholarly atmosphere.

Daoist Xiushan was deeply engrossed in studying the "Heaven-breaking Fist," completely absorbed in the wondrous world of Martial Arts.

Gu Sheng entered the Book Collection Pavilion and immediately saw Daoist Xiushan. He quickly stepped forward, bowed respectfully, and said, "Senior Xiushan, I have a matter to request your help with."

Daoist Xiushan saw that it was Gu Sheng and showed a gentle smile, saying, "Gu Sheng, what brings you to the old man?"

Gu Sheng replied, "Junior wishes to ask for your help to provide a record on the various training grounds and all forbidden zones of the Xinghong Spirit Domain."

Daoist Xiushan showed a look of confusion and asked, "What do you need these for? Why do you wish to leave the Tianlan Sacred Land and go to those places to train? You must know, our Tianlan Sacred Land’s training grounds are top-tier within the entire Xinghong Spirit Domain."

Gu Sheng patiently explained, "Senior, you may not know, but while the training grounds of the Tianlan Sacred Land are good, given my current situation, there aren’t many that are suitable for me.

I deeply understand that always staying under the protection of the Sacred Land makes it difficult to truly grow. Only by venturing out and experiencing trials can one become stronger."

Daoist Xiushan said, "With your talent, in the Tianlan Sacred Land, along with the abundant resources, you would surely become one of the top experts of the Sacred Land within one to two hundred years. In due time, not more than a thousand years, you would have the hope to reach my level. Why are you in such a hurry to venture out and train?"

Gu Sheng showed a bitter smile and said, "Senior, I cannot wait for decades, let alone centuries. May I ask, if I stay in the Tianlan Sacred Land, how soon can I break through to the Dao Palace Realm?"

Daoist Xiushan pondered seriously for a moment, saying, "For the Core Disciples of the Sacred Land, those with extraordinary talent can break through to the Dao Palace Realm as early as two to three hundred years of age.

Those prodigies against the heavens can also achieve it by two hundred years. With your talent, if you devote yourself to cultivation in the Sacred Land, you could break through to the Dao Palace Realm by around one hundred and fifty years of age at the earliest."

Hearing this answer made Gu Sheng feel breathless. One hundred and fifty years was far, far too long for him. He was even more determined to leave the Tianlan Sacred Land for external training.

Daoist Xiushan looked at Gu Sheng’s expression, curious in his heart, and asked, "Gu Sheng, how soon do you wish to break through to the Dao Palace Realm?"

Gu Sheng said, word by word, "Junior must break through to the Dao Palace Realm within ten years!"

Daoist Xiushan was shocked and said, "Are you crazy! Breaking through to the Dao Palace Realm in ten years is almost an impossible feat! How many people throughout the entire history of the Xinghong Spirit Domain have managed that?"

Gu Sheng spoke loudly, "Great Elder, my mind is made up. I can’t wait for decades, let alone centuries. While the Tianlan Sacred Land’s training grounds are good, the benefits are truly limited for my current cultivation level.

Instead, the training grounds and forbidden zones outside are more suitable for me. Just like at the Divine Wind Thunder Mountain before, I was unable to delve deeper into cultivation due to my weak cultivation, barely breaking through the realm on the outskirts."

As Gu Sheng spoke, his eyes were bright, reflecting a sense of determination.

The Tianlan Saint Master nodded silently, pondering to himself: This lad does make sense.

The Great Elder, however, shook his head, full of worry, "While what you say might be true, it’s too dangerous outside, what if something happens, what would become of our Tianlan Sacred Land?"

Gu Sheng emphasized again, "To become a strong person, one must take risks. I don’t want to stay in this greenhouse forever; only by going through trials can I truly grow."

The Tianlan Saint Master looked at Gu Sheng, admiration in his eyes, and said, "Good! Courageous. I support you in venturing out for training."

Daoist Xiushan, seeing that even the Saint Master had said so, could only sigh helplessly, "Oh well, oh well, since the Saint Master agrees, I will go and compile the information on the training grounds and forbidden zones of the Xinghong Spirit Domain for you."
