"What's going on here?" Gu Sheng stared at the well with a mix of shock and doubt. He could sense that some kind of formidable power seemed to be hidden within it.

The Yaochi Saintess' eyes also flickered with curiosity and caution. "There must be something strange about this well. Perhaps it has something to do with the Mystical Sky Sword we're looking for."

Gu Sheng nodded, took a deep breath, and decided to venture down to investigate. "I'll go down and take a look. You stay here and wait for me."

"Be careful," the Yaochi Saintess urged.

Gu Sheng slowly descended along the well's wall as the surrounding temperature gradually dropped. A chilling air rushed toward him. The deeper he went, the air seemed frozen, making breathing increasingly challenging.

"Hiss—" Gu Sheng could hear his own breath echoing through the eerie silence of the well.

After an unknown amount of time, Gu Sheng finally reached the bottom. He glanced around and spotted a massive stone chamber. At its center, an ancient longsword stood embedded in a stone platform, its blade emitting a faint luminescence, almost as if it had its own life.

"Is this the Mystical Sky Sword?" Gu Sheng was astonished. He could feel the overwhelming aura emanating from the sword, as though it could tear through anything.

He carefully approached the stone platform, reaching out to touch the sword. The moment his fingers brushed the blade, a surge of immense energy flooded into his body, causing him to involuntarily shudder.

"Such immense power!" Gu Sheng exclaimed in awe.

He scrutinized the Mystical Sky Sword closely. Ancient runes were engraved on the blade, glowing with enigmatic light. The hilt bore a dazzling gemstone, radiating brilliance.

"An Earth-level Low Grade weapon, yet it might still evolve further," Gu Sheng thought to himself. With such a weapon in his possession, his combat strength would undoubtedly soar.

He attempted to pull the sword out, only to discover that it seemed fused with the stone platform, completely motionless.

"What's going on?" Gu Sheng frowned in contemplation.

Just then, a roaring sound resonated within the stone chamber, as though something was awakening. Gu Sheng was startled. He quickly gripped the Mystical Sky Sword tightly, scanning his surroundings vigilantly.

"Hum—"

The Mystical Sky Sword abruptly began to tremble, its runes glowing even brighter. Gu Sheng felt a surge of colossal power from the sword rushing into his body.

"Ah!" Gu Sheng let out a low growl. He felt as though this power was tearing him apart, yet it came with an indescribable pleasure.

Moments later, the Mystical Sky Sword finally calmed down. Gu Sheng gasped for air, gazing at the sword in his hand, his eyes filled with excitement. He could feel a strange connection forming between him and the sword.

"Hum, hum—"

At that moment, another roaring sound came from inside the chamber. Gu Sheng looked upward and saw the chamber's ceiling slowly opening, revealing the outside sky.

"What's happening?" Gu Sheng asked in surprise, watching the scene unfold.

As the chamber opened up, a wave of fresh air rushed inside, making Gu Sheng feel refreshed and invigorated. Holding the Mystical Sky Sword, he walked out of the chamber slowly.

When Gu Sheng stood again atop Sky Sword Mountain, he saw the Yaochi Saintess anxiously waiting for him. Her visible sigh of relief upon seeing him safe and sound was unmistakable.

"Are you alright?" the Yaochi Saintess asked with concern.

"I'm fine," Gu Sheng said with a smile. "And I found what we were looking for." Saying that, he raised the Mystical Sky Sword in his hand.

The moment the Yaochi Saintess saw the sword, a flicker of astonishment and envy appeared in her eyes. "Is this the legendary Mystical Sky Sword? It's truly extraordinary."

The two exchanged smiles, their hearts brimming with joy. They knew that with the sword's aid, their strength would reach new heights.

"Hum, hum, hum—"

At that moment, the Mystical Sky Sword began to tremble again, emitting a series of sword hums. It seemed to be narrating an ancient story or expressing its anticipation for its new master to help it regain its former glory.

Holding the Mystical Sky Sword tightly, Gu Sheng felt the immense power contained within it. His eyes shone with unwavering determination. He understood that this sword would become his trusted ally on his future path and together, they would carve out their own legend.

"Saintess, thank you for your understanding and support," Gu Sheng expressed his gratitude to the Yaochi Saintess. Although the Mystical Sky Sword originally belonged to the Yaochi Holy Land, she did not demand its return, which deeply touched him.

"To the one destined for it, the sword has chosen you, so naturally, it is yours," the Yaochi Saintess said with a smile, her voice ethereal and melodious as a heavenly tune.

Gu Sheng nodded and then turned around to leave. He couldn't wait to test the power of this sword. His next target was the mysterious and treacherous Giant Elephant Forest.

The Giant Elephant Forest—a place that sent shivers down one's spine. It was teeming with powerful demon beasts and unknown dangers, but it was also brimming with untold opportunities and treasures. As Gu Sheng stepped into the forest, he felt as if he had entered a whole new world.

"What towering trees!" Gu Sheng marveled as he looked up at the giant trees that reached toward the clouds, their dense foliage blocking most of the sunlight. The forest was suffused with a mysterious and ancient aura that stirred a mix of excitement and tension.

Gu Sheng advanced cautiously, his senses fully attuned, constantly alert to the sounds around him. Suddenly, he felt a surge of formidable energy rapidly approaching him.

"Roar—"

A deafening roar erupted, and a colossal elephant, towering over ten meters high, appeared in Gu Sheng's view. Its body radiated an immense aura, clearly a peak-level Sea Floor Realm existence.

Gu Sheng didn't retreat. With the Mystical Sky Sword in hand, he activated his Cultivation Technique. Golden light flowed across his body, his momentum surging like a rainbow.

"Gale Nine Swords, First Style—Winds Rising Clouds Roaring!"

With a low shout, an intense sword qi tore through the air, aiming directly for the giant elephant's weak point. The blade qi streaked across like a rainbow, striking its target in an instant.

"Pfft—"

The sword qi pierced the giant elephant's body, blood spurting everywhere. The elephant let out a harrowing scream before crashing to the ground.

Looking at the fallen giant elephant, Gu Sheng couldn't help but feel deeply moved. Was this the power of the Mystical Sky Sword? Truly, it was overwhelming!

At that moment, an even more intense energy suddenly entered Gu Sheng's senses. He turned to see a figure clad in black rapidly approaching him.

"A Destruction Hall Shadow Mist Cultivator?" Gu Sheng frowned. He sensed the hostility and killing intent emanating from the figure.

"Boy, hand over the Mystical Sky Sword!" The Shadow Mist Cultivator said coldly, his voice chillingly sinister, like something from the depths of hell.

"You want my sword? Let's see if you have what it takes!" Gu Sheng sneered and activated the Gale Nine Swords technique, his figure disappearing in an instant.

The Shadow Mist Cultivator was not one to back down. He activated his Shadow Mist Swallowing Skill, and thick black mist began to spread around him. The mist seemed alive, attempting to ensnare Gu Sheng and consume him.

Yet Gu Sheng moved like a phantom within the thick fog, the Mystical Sky Sword in his hand emitting sharp sword qi that dispersed the mist one by one.

"Hmph! You think this can trap me?" Gu Sheng sneered, his figure flashing as he appeared behind the Shadow Mist Cultivator. "It's time to end this!"

With that, the Mystical Sky Sword in his hand sliced through the air, releasing a brilliant sword qi aimed straight at the enemy's back.

"Ah—"

The Shadow Mist Cultivator let out a scream before collapsing heavily onto the ground. His chest bore a massive wound, blood gushing out incessantly.

Watching the fallen Shadow Mist Cultivator, Gu Sheng finally let out a sigh of relief. Though the battle was brief, it was fraught with danger. Without the Mystical Sky Sword, he might have struggled to overcome such a powerful opponent.

He sheathed the Mystical Sky Sword, turned, and continued deeper into the heart of the Giant Elephant Forest to explore its mysteries and treasures, leaving behind nothing but awe and reverence.

Through this encounter, Gu Sheng had come to understand the true prowess of the Mystical Sky Sword and discovered the depths of his own potential. The experience filled him with anticipation and confidence for the adventures that lay ahead.
