We’ll do as you say. Let’s leave now,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Sheng said with a grin as he turned to lead Ji Ziyue away from the unsettling lake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Splash!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, just as they were about to move, the lake’s surface suddenly erupted in massive waves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A powerful force surged from beneath the lake, as though something was stirring the waters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, a towering wave surged toward them like a wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Gu Sheng and Ji Ziyue could react, the immense wave knocked them off their feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lake water quickly engulfed them, sweeping them into the depths of the lake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reacting swiftly, Gu Sheng grasped Ji Ziyue’s hand and pulled her up forcefully, dragging her out of the water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two of them resurfaced, gasping for fresh air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Ziyue’s face was pale as she shouted, \"Quick! There’s definitely a monster in the lake!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hold tight to me! Don’t let go!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Sheng commanded loudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as they steadied themselves and prepared to swim toward the shore, another massive wave rose from the lake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This wave was far more powerful than the last. The water appeared to be under the control of a mighty creature, forming a massive whirlpool that sucked everything nearby into it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Sheng inhaled deeply, his True Qi circulating throughout his body as a tremendous force erupted from within him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Exerting all his strength, he leapt to the side with Ji Ziyue, narrowly dodging the wave’s impact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their movements sent ripples through the lake, with waves crashing relentlessly against the shore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, it’s just two little brats from the Human Clan!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A mocking voice suddenly echoed from behind Gu Sheng and Ji Ziyue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Sheng’s heart sank. Turning around, he was stunned to see a burly Water Demon with disheveled hair standing on the lake’s surface, bare-chested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Ji Ziyue saw the formidable figure towering on the water, her face instantly paled in terror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She immediately recognized the Water Demon’s identity—Wuzhiqi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a being that dominated the underwater realm, a terrifying existence feared by countless aquatic creatures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Run! We have to run! That’s Wuzhiqi!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Ziyue screamed, her voice laced with fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Gu Sheng did not know about Wuzhiqi’s history, Ji Ziyue’s reaction made it clear the opponent was far from ordinary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He nodded, preparing to flee with Ji Ziyue, but Wuzhiqi casually waved his hand, and a torrent of water imbued with immense power shot toward them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whoosh!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The water arrow sped toward them like lightning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Sheng and Ji Ziyue had no time to dodge and could only withstand the attack head-on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The water struck them, halting their escape and pinning them in place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Sheng gritted his teeth, knowing they couldn’t afford to stay passive. He gathered all his True Qi and punched toward the torrent of water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But compared to Wuzhiqi’s strength, his efforts were futile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The torrent only paused briefly before continuing its assault.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Pathetic,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wuzhiqi sneered; it was evident he didn’t take Gu Sheng’s resistance seriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Sheng’s expression grew grim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From that brief exchange, he could tell that Wuzhiqi’s power had reached the Four Extremes Secret Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, he himself had only just entered the Dao Palace Realm. If he continued fighting head-on, he would only become Wuzhiqi’s plaything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Realizing he was outmatched, Gu Sheng plotted their escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wuzhiqi’s sharp eyes seemed to read his thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing through Gu Sheng’s intent, a cunning smirk appeared on Wuzhiqi’s face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a sudden burst of force, an invisible energy surged from Wuzhiqi’s body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whoosh!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Sheng and Ji Ziyue immediately felt their bodies pulled by an overpowering force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Gu Sheng could resist, both he and Ji Ziyue were sucked into a mysterious Illusion Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within the Illusion Realm, everything was chaotic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There seemed to be no sky or ground, only endless fog and distorted spaces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What... is this...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Ziyue felt disoriented but quickly adjusted her composure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is bad! This is Wuzhiqi’s Illusion Realm! He wants to refine us, to use us to strengthen himself!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Ziyue exclaimed anxiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Sheng clenched his fists, his eyes flashing with regret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If only he had listened to Ji Ziyue earlier, they wouldn’t have fallen into this situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now wasn’t the time for regrets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they didn’t find a way to escape the Illusion Realm, both of them would become sacrifices to Wuzhiqi’s power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you have any way to break this Illusion Realm?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Sheng asked gravely, his face filled with concern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll try!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Ziyue replied, closing her eyes to sense the Illusion Realm’s structure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Sheng knew the Ji family had deep expertise in Arrays and Illusion Techniques—perhaps she could find a glimmer of hope.\u003C\u002Fp>",1334,"2026-06-03T03:15:14.834Z","2026-06-03T03:15:10.035Z",1,"novelbin.me","32ad6aeebe1491c533df0d3b044768afb1ce53ac9be7b383e2c5b9d66bf08453","longevity-martial-arts-grinding-experience-in-th-chapter-742","longevity-martial-arts-grinding-experience-in-th-chapter-740",1332,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Flongevity-martial-arts-grinding-experience-in-th-cover.jpg"]
