"Gu Sheng, are you about to break through?" Su Ling asked in surprise.
Gu Sheng kept his eyes tightly shut, but the expression on his face revealed his current excitement. "Yes, I feel the call of the Sea Floor Realm. This time, I will step into a new realm."
As the black hole continued to expand, a mysterious world began to appear. There were mountains, rivers, lakes, seas, blooming immortal flowers, and exotic flying beasts... it was practically an Immortal Realm. This was the Sea Floor Realm within the human body, a fantastical world constructed of Spiritual Energy. Thɪs chapter is updated by Nove1Fire.net
At this moment, the Heavenly Dao Sect was also in an uproar. Everyone stepped out of their dwellings and looked up at the sky. They saw a secret realm floating in the air, radiating dazzling brilliance. Various exotic flying beasts soared back and forth, leaving onlookers dazzled by the spectacle.
"Heavens! Is someone breaking through the Sea Floor Realm?" The Sect Master of the Heavenly Dao Sect exclaimed in awe. Such phenomena were exceedingly rare in the sect’s history.
"Who could it be? Who is capable of breaking through in the Sea Floor Realm?"
The disciples were abuzz with discussion, their eyes filled with envy and admiration. They knew that whoever could inspire such a phenomenon had to be an unparalleled genius with extraordinary talent.
The emergence of such a talent within the Heavenly Dao Sect was undoubtedly a great honor for the sect. Jiang Yichen also stood silently among the crowd, watching everything unfold. As the foremost disciple of the Heavenly Dao Sect, he was always in the spotlight, but at this moment, he was deeply captivated by the secret realm materializing in the sky.
He knew that this phenomenon was not one he could trigger, yet he sincerely felt happiness for the individual breaking through.
"Who could it be?"
Jiang Yichen speculated quietly in his heart. He wished to meet this genius, exchange ideas with them, and improve together. As the secret realm in the sky gradually dissipated, the figures of Gu Sheng and Su Ling appeared before everyone. The two stood shoulder to shoulder, their faces beaming with the joy of success.
"Congratulations to both of you on your successful breakthrough!"
The Heavenly Dao Sect’s Sect Master was the first to step forward and congratulate them. He knew that these two young talents represented the hope of the sect’s future.
It was unfortunate, however, that Gu Sheng was not a disciple of the Heavenly Dao Sect.
Jiang Yichen also stepped forward to shake hands with Gu Sheng and Su Ling, offering his congratulations.
"Truly, congratulations! To cause such a phenomenon is indeed admirable!"
Jiang Yichen said sincerely. He hoped to learn more from these two remarkable talents.
Gu Sheng and Su Ling humbly accepted the congratulations from everyone.
They understood that the road ahead was still long, and they needed to work even harder at their cultivation to go further.
Su Ling looked at Gu Sheng, her eyes glowing with admiration. "Gu Sheng, you really did it."
What followed was Gu Sheng and Su Ling’s journey in the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra, joined by their old acquaintance, Gu Xiaojiang, as they embarked on adventurous expeditions.
Upon leaving the Heavenly Dao Sect, both Gu Sheng and Su Ling felt a lingering sense of fulfillment. Although their three days of cultivation in the Sea Floor Realm had been brief, it left a profound impression on them. They decided to head toward an even more mysterious place—the Forbidden Fruit Secret Realm.
The Forbidden Fruit Secret Realm was a Holy Land often visited by couples with advanced cultivation. Hidden and enchanting, it resembled a paradise on earth. When Gu Sheng and Su Ling stepped into this realm, they were overwhelmed by the breathtaking scenery.
Immortal Herbs covered the land, each emitting a faint glow, as if they were the spirits of nature. A hundred birds flew together, and various exotic bird species soared in the air, their songs echoing like heavenly melodies, soothing the heart and mind.
In the center of this paradise grew a black apple tree, its branches laden with black apples—the legendary Forbidden Fruit.
"This place is so beautiful!" Su Ling exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with excitement.
"Yes, this is indeed an excellent place for cultivation," Gu Sheng agreed with a nod.
With a shared understanding, the two began their cultivation. They chose a tranquil spot, sat across from each other, and started to delve into the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra.
With the blessing of the Sea Floor Realm, their cultivation levels rose rapidly. The Jade Maiden Heart Sutra flowed through their bodies, creating an illusory space. In this space, they transformed into a pair of harmonious companions, like butterflies dancing in the breeze, comforting each other, and moving in graceful synchronicity.
Within the illusory space, Gu Sheng and Su Ling held hands like a pair of lovers in the throes of passion. The slender palms clasped together seemed to resonate with a current of energy that flowed endlessly. This current was not only the power generated by their cultivation of the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra but also a reflection of their emotional connection.
As their cultivation deepened, their physical closeness grew more intimate. From holding hands to a tight embrace, they entered a wondrous and blissful state. Throughout this process, their feelings for each other reached new heights.
"Gu Sheng, I feel that our Jade Maiden Heart Sutra has achieved a new level," Su Ling whispered softly.
"Yes, I feel it too. Both our cultivation and our mental state have greatly advanced," Gu Sheng responded.
Their conversation was filled with joy and satisfaction. They knew that their journey to the Forbidden Fruit Secret Realm had yielded tremendous gains—not only in cultivation but also in the deepening of their bond.
At this moment, in the illusory space, their forms became increasingly vivid and lifelike, as if they were truly there. They danced gracefully together, savoring this magical moment as the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra shone resplendently in their cultivation, finally reaching Great Success.
When they exited the illusory space, they exchanged a smile. Their eyes sparkled with contentment and happiness. They knew that this cultivation journey had been a resounding success.
