CHAPTER 476: CHAPTER 262 DEVOURING DRAGON BALL

"What’s going on?" Gu Sheng frowned and asked.

Chu Xuan stepped forward, carefully inspected the scene, and then said, "This is the royal forbidden barrier, only someone with royal bloodline can unlock it."

Chu Xuan felt compelled to be truthful, knowing that Gu Sheng had planted a Soul Seed deep within his soul.

In reality, Gu Sheng had merely used the Green Vine to read the information in his mind.

Upon hearing this, Gu Sheng turned to Chu Xuan and said, "Then you should unlock it."

Chu Xuan nodded, walked up to the stone platform, took a deep breath, and extended his hand to touch the barrier.

As his hand pressed down, arrays lit up one after another, emitting dazzling brilliance.

The forbidden barrier gradually dissipated within the glow of the arrays, revealing the true form of the Dragon Ball.

Gu Sheng reached out and took the Dragon Ball into his hand.

As he held it, a warm sensation spread through him, as if a mighty force was surging within.

"So this is Chu Country’s Dragon Ball? Truly remarkable!" Gu Sheng exclaimed in admiration.

The Green Vine Demon Soul could no longer restrain itself and flew over, transforming into a phantom of a green vine, its glow radiant as it greedily latched onto and corroded the Dragon Ball with an insatiable hunger.

Instantly, a powerful vitality emanated from it, causing her body to expand rapidly as if preparing to grow stronger.

Chu Xuan watched this scene, his heart bleeding.

But he knew he couldn’t stop Gu Sheng now, and could only watch helplessly as the Dragon Ball was consumed by the Green Vine Demon Soul.

Gu Sheng felt the changes in the Green Vine Demon Soul, and a wave of excitement surged in his heart.

He realized that the gains from this exploration had far exceeded his expectations.

Turning to Chu Xuan and Huang Miaoyin, he smiled and said, "Let’s go, let’s continue to explore this secret realm and see if there are other treasures."

The three of them pressed onward, delving deeper into this colorful world.

Before long, the three discovered that without the Dragon Ball, this miniature world quickly dimmed.

Vitality retreated at an incredible speed, plants withered rapidly before their eyes, and the breathtaking sights of radiant light and shimmering energy faded into nothingness.

The three soon left.

Gu Sheng returned to the Holy Pill Sect and released the Demon Soul to allow it to continue consuming the Dragon Ball.

Due to the overwhelming intensity of the life energy, Gu Sheng had to set up an isolation array.

The array barriers Gu Sheng constructed had been taught to him by Great Elder Lu Junyi. Combining Helian’s Weapon Casting Skill, his techniques advanced rapidly, and the resulting arrays were extraordinary.

Half a month later, the Green Vine Demon Soul finally fully consumed the Dragon Ball.

"Master, I’m about to undergo a mutation!"

The Green Vine’s energy surged wildly, its phantom rippling like turbulent waves, seemingly about to tear into the Void.

Before Gu Sheng could reply, the emerald green vine began spreading rapidly. Its vibrant leaves gleamed, exuding potent vitality that filled the entire array with life.

"A single Dragon Ball caused the Green Vine to grow over ten meters, its thickness transforming from the diameter of a cord to that of a thumb, encased in luminous green light, breathtakingly beautiful."

Seeing such extraordinary phenomena, Gu Sheng was thrilled beyond measure. He was just about to test the power of the green vine in the Magical Beast Forest when Linghu Qingwan appeared.

"Let’s go train in the Magical Beast Forest!"

"Exactly my thought!"

The two agreed to head to the Magical Beast Forest.

The Magical Beast Forest was an ancient jungle with towering trees piercing the skies, sunlight filtering through dense foliage, casting dappled shadows below.

The air was filled with a faint fragrance of vegetation, and occasional deep growls of beasts added layers of mystery and danger.

Gu Sheng and Linghu Qingwan walked side by side, both dressed in agile attire, exuding a heroic charm.

Linghu Qingwan carried a bundle of Binding Immortal Vines on her back. Her graceful figure and alluring curves stirred a ripple in Gu Sheng’s heart.

"Gu Sheng, I feel the aura of magical beasts here is very strong. Are we sure about going deeper?" Linghu Qingwan asked with some concern.

Gu Sheng smiled faintly, his Divine Thought already probing outward. Its range and sensitivity had greatly enhanced, enabling him to sense nearly every corner of the forest.

"Relax, I’m here," Gu Sheng replied confidently.

Arriving in the Magical Beast Forest, Gu Sheng released his Divine Thought, immediately noticing its significantly increased range and sensitivity.

"It seems the growth of the Green Vine signifies my own growth as well!"

Gu Sheng couldn’t help but murmur to himself.

"You’re gloating quietly!"

Linghu Qingwan recognized Gu Sheng’s awakened Demon Soul and his swift progress over recent times.

Privately, she rejoiced for Gu Sheng.

Distracted by Linghu Qingwan, a mischievous thought emerged in Gu Sheng’s mind.

The corners of his mouth curled into a devilish grin as he allowed his Divine Thought to probe into Linghu Qingwan’s body.

Suddenly, a jolt of electricity flushed through him, almost causing a nosebleed.

The images in his mind were more vivid and real than seeing them firsthand.

Mountains, valleys, enchanting scenery...

Linghu Qingwan seemed to sense something, and two blushes appeared on her cheeks. Her entire delicate face quickly flushed red.

"Gu Sheng... you..."

Though outwardly furious, her heart churned with hidden joy.

"Hmph... This... Divine Thought has strengthened!"

Gu Sheng forcibly shifted his attention. Despite Linghu Qingwan’s enticing allure, she wasn’t the luminous moonlight of his dreams.

Given his strength, he could easily find someone more outstanding and deserving.

"Why are you dodging me!"

Linghu Qingwan proactively drew closer, her breath fragrant, hands lightly resting on Gu Sheng’s neck. "Why not take me instead?"

Gu Sheng’s face turned a bright shade of red, reminiscent of a child caught sampling forbidden fruit.

"This... I..." Gu Sheng hurriedly activated the Great Prajñā Sutra, clearing his thoughts in an instant. "I... haven’t decided yet..."

"Hehe..." Linghu Qingwan giggled.
