However, Liu Yao could only manage a bitter smile at this thought.
There were only twenty years left until Gumo’s breakthrough and departure, and Lu Sheng had only been part of the Life Factions for twenty years. Achieving a sixth-tier breakthrough within forty years was not an easy feat.
Even she herself had spent nearly a hundred years to reach that point.
Thinking of this, Liu Yao finally shook her head, then regained her composure and walked toward the depths of the laboratory.
Lu Sheng piloted the Seal of Brilliance, flying toward the coordinates Liu Yao had sent.
Soon, he arrived at a certain spot within the cosmic void.
Seeing the dense asteroid belt all around, Lu Sheng was stunned.
"Is this... where Master Gumo cultivates? Is this place, with such scarce energy, really suitable for a seventh-tier expert to train?"
Lu Sheng was a bit surprised.
Yet in the next moment, a spot in the void subtly distorted.
Soon, an elderly figure slowly emerged, and as soon as this figure appeared, a rich vitality instantly filled the entire area.
Lu Sheng quickly stepped out of the Seal of Brilliance and bowed to the newcomer.
Indeed, this person was none other than Gumo.
Gumo looked at Lu Sheng and laughed, "I didn’t expect to see such a talent emerge from the faction before my departure."
Faced with Gumo’s praise, Lu Sheng remained calm, which only made Gumo more satisfied.
Gumo stroked his beard, looking up and down at Lu Sheng with increasingly satisfied eyes.
"Yao’Er told me you wanted to personally comprehend my Stellar Martial Arts?"
Lu Sheng nodded promptly and said, "I ask for the master’s guidance!"
Gumo nodded, "Follow me!"
Saying this, Gumo grabbed Lu Sheng’s arm, and in the next moment, both of them vanished from the area.
When Lu Sheng came to his senses, he found himself in a strange world.
In this world, the vitality was extremely rich; just by taking a breath, Lu Sheng felt the Life and Death Emperor Seal in his body quiver with excitement.
"This world is the one where I cultivate, and it’s here that you’ll personally experience my Stellar Martial Arts!"
Gumo’s voice slowly echoed.
Next, Lu Sheng saw Gumo slowly raise his palm, lightly pushing towards his chest.
Gumo moved very slowly, but as his palm moved, a mysterious wave instantly flowed into his palm from the world.
Then, that mysterious energy condensed into a Palm Seal, which appeared directly in Lu Sheng’s vision.
As soon as Lu Sheng saw this Palm Seal, his hair stood on end, and an intense sense of crisis immediately filled his mind.
Lu Sheng was horrified.
At this moment, Gumo’s voice whispered in Lu Sheng’s ear.
"You have ten breaths to dodge my Five Elements Annihilation Dao!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Sheng didn’t hesitate and entered the Seal of Brilliance, transforming into a white streak that shot towards the edge of the world.
No matter how fast Lu Sheng moved, the seemingly slow Palm Seal remained firmly at a constant distance from him.
Despite Lu Sheng’s efforts, he couldn’t escape the Palm Seal’s pursuit.
"This Palm Seal... is so terrifying. Even though it hasn’t struck me, it brings an immense sense of crisis."
Lu Sheng controlled the Seal of Brilliance, continuously accelerating, cold sweat dripping from his forehead.
The life-and-death crisis, the inescapable danger, filled Lu Sheng’s heart with despair.
"Why does this feeling persist in my mind, unshakable?"
"No matter how I dodge or widen the distance, I can’t escape..."
Questions kept flashing through Lu Sheng’s mind, and the pressure from the Palm Seal even turned his face pale.
"No, in this world, I can never escape this Palm Seal. It’s like... I’m trapped in this world!"
Lu Sheng’s mind harbored this thought.
At this moment, under the Seal of Brilliance’s enhancement, Lu Sheng had taken only nine breaths to reach the world’s edge.
However, even at the world’s edge, the Palm Seal remained at the same distance.
Lu Sheng even felt it had gotten closer.
Lu Sheng stopped, understanding that even at the edge of the world, he was already trapped by Gumo’s Palm Seal.
At this moment... the ten breaths silently passed.
The Palm Seal landed on Lu Sheng, but he felt no pain. Opening his eyes, he saw that nothing around him had changed, and the Palm Seal had vanished.
The space emitted slight hums, and the scenery around him fluctuated.
Lu Sheng returned to Gumo’s presence.
Lu Sheng was still immersed in the earlier emotions, moments later he looked at Gumo, wanting to speak but hesitated.
Gumo simply stroked his beard and laughed, saying:
"The Five Elements of Heaven and Earth... are everywhere!"
