Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World

Chapter 950: Chapter 499: Divine Wood Forest

"Alright, you take a rest first, we’ll go check on Er Gou."

Gu Sheng nodded and reassured.

Then, Elder Shi led Master Zhang and Gu Sheng towards Er Gou’s house.

Their steps were hurried, filled with a sense of urgency.

When they were still some distance away from Er Gou’s house, Gu Sheng suddenly felt the undercurrents of fluctuating Divine Power.

Gu Sheng was secretly shocked but didn’t mention it out loud.

However, as they approached Er Gou’s house, the waves of Divine Power grew stronger, as if even the air was trembling.

At the same time, the nearby chickens, ducks, geese, and dogs seemed to sense the power too, their cries filled with panic and unease.

"What’s going on? It’s like chaos!"

Elder Shi’s voice was tinged with worry, his eyes fixed firmly on the front.

"We must hurry!"

Gu Sheng said urgently, quickening his pace.

When they finally reached Er Gou’s house, the scene before them left them stunned.

Some neighbors stood outside, afraid to enter, as if they had seen a monster.

In Er Gou’s yard, the livestock were in a panic, running around in a frenzy.

Their cries rose and fell, almost enough to tear a person’s eardrum.

And standing in the center of the yard was Er Gou, his appearance dramatically changed.

His face was covered with strange patterns, resembling Shi Lou to some extent.

But Er Gou’s eyes were wide open as if controlled by some kind of power.

Gu Sheng rushed into the yard, urgently shouting, "Er Gou, what’s wrong with you?"

Er Gou turned his head, his gaze revealing a sense of confusion.

"Brother Sheng, I... I feel a power surging inside me, I can’t control it!"

Er Gou said, clenching his teeth in some pain.

At the same time, Er Gou’s mother came forward, saying to them, "Elder Shi, Master Zhang, you’ve seen a lot, what’s happening to Er Gou?"

"It’s okay, we can handle it."

Master Zhang reassured.

Suddenly, Er Gou raised both hands, clenching his fists, and punched towards the pigpen beside him.

With a burst of power from his palms,

"Boom!"

A loud explosion was heard.

The pigpen shattered instantly, with wood chips and soil scattering everywhere.

At the same time, several piglets inside, as the pen collapsed, dashed out of the yard like they were running for their lives.

"The piglets! My piglets!"

Er Gou’s mother shouted, chasing after them.

The other neighbors, seeing this, hurried to help chase them too.

"Oh my God!"

Master Zhang and Elder Shi exclaimed in amazement.

"This is incredible!"

"Did Er Gou... Did he become a cultivator?"

"No idea, never seen Er Gou like this or with such strong power."

Some villagers whispered among themselves.

"Er Gou, calm down!"

Gu Sheng stepped up and shouted standing in front of him.

Gu Sheng knew that if Er Gou couldn’t control this power, it might cause more damage or even harm himself!

"I... I can’t do it!"

Despair filled Er Gou’s voice, his hands trembling visibly as he struggled to control the power within.

Elder Shi and Master Zhang exchanged a glance, knowing they had to act immediately.

"Xiao Sheng, quickly help him."

Elder Shi urged sincerely.

"Alright."

Gu Sheng nodded, stepping forward.

Instantly, Divine Power began to gather in his hands, ready to help Er Gou stabilize the power.

"Er Gou, look at me."

Gu Sheng’s voice carried a strange rhythm.

At the same time, his gaze conveyed a calming power.

Er Gou turned his head, looking into Gu Sheng’s eyes.

In that moment of eye contact, Er Gou’s body seemed to gradually calm down.

Gu Sheng grasped Er Gou’s wrist, Divine Power flowing gently into Er Gou’s body, helping him guide and control the raging power.

"Phew..."

Er Gou exhaled a long breath.

Minutes later, his face regained its calm, and the power within him gradually stabilized.

"Brother Sheng, thank you."

Er Gou said, filled with gratitude.

Gu Sheng smiled and nodded, "No worries, Er Gou, this is just the beginning. You must learn how to control this power."

Elder Shi and Master Zhang looked at Er Gou, also relieved in their hearts.

They knew that the awakening of Shi Lou and Er Gou was just the start, and a long road awaited them.

But at least for now, they had taken the first step.

"We need to find a safe place for them to practice and master this power."

Master Zhang suggested.

Elder Shi nodded, "Indeed, we can’t let this power run wild, or it will bring disaster to the village."

After a moment of silence, Master Zhang suddenly spoke, "I know a suitable place, far from the village, with enough space for you to practice, and the Divine Power there is relatively stable."

"Where is it?"

Gu Sheng and Elder Shi asked in unison.

"Divine Wood Forest."

Master Zhang said slowly, "It’s the place where our ancestors practiced, and it’s also the Holy Land of our village."

"Divine Wood Forest?"

Gu Sheng and Elder Shi exchanged a glance.

Gu Sheng had heard others mention the place but had never been there.

"Yes, quite right, it has ancient tree protectors that can absorb and stabilize Divine Power, making it the best place for training."

Elder Shi nodded in agreement.

"Oh? Stabilizing Divine Power, that would be perfect! It would also help them understand their powers."

Gu Sheng said, somewhat surprised.

"When do we leave?"

Er Gou asked, his eyes filled with anticipation.

After all, having this uncontrollable power within him was uncomfortable and could potentially harm others.
