Martial God: Grinding from Mortal Flesh to Immortality

"The three most important things before me now are these. As long as these three things are resolved, the predicaments of the Life Factions and the Martial Immortal Villa will naturally be lifted!"

Lu Sheng pondered over the three lines of thought in his mind, his eyes narrowing slightly.

Master Elder Sister's injuries, and the injuries of the Heaven-Reaching Vine, were undoubtedly the most important matters for the Life Factions.

As for the Martial Immortal Villa, the current status of the villa, owing to Lu Sheng's breakthrough to Tier Seven, has already qualified it to become a university faction of the Star River University.

But apart from this, all university factions within Star River University had their own heritage.

The Star River Factions, being founded by Emperor Bai, had always been the number one faction. Even with Zhang Chu gone, relying on its strong heritage, it might not be long before another Tier Seven mentor emerges.

Even though the Steel Factions's mentor also fell in battle, the techniques of the Giant Divine Soldier and the methods of crafting a Tier Eight Giant Divine Soldier still ensured the Steel Factions had a certain status within Star River University.

That is the foundation of a faction!

Even the Life Factions had the unique foundation of the Heaven-Reaching Vine. But looking at the Martial Immortal Villa, besides Lu Sheng, the Tier Seven, other aspects couldn't compare to these veteran factions.

"The Martial Immortal Villa's foundation... is still too shallow."

Lu Sheng shook his head, then his form dissipated and returned to the Celestial Brilliance Star.

"Master Elder Sister's injuries, just relying on herself, would take hundreds of years—a period too long. If I could know the Tier Eight cosmic life form that initially injured her, I might find a way to heal her."

"It's just a pity. If I directly ask, Master Elder Sister, to avoid worrying me, definitely wouldn't tell me."

"In that case... I can only ask Mentor Gumo."

Lu Sheng spoke, then contacted Gumo and dialed the number.

Soon, Gumo's figure appeared before Lu Sheng's eyes.

The projected Gumo seemed more radiant. Despite suffering some injuries in the recent great battle, it appeared that the period of recovery had done him good.

"You rascal, you actually thought of contacting this old man?"

Upon seeing Lu Sheng, Gumo initially chuckled.

Lu Sheng gave an embarrassed smile, then asked, "Teacher, do you know which Tier Eight cosmic life form seriously injured Master Elder Sister back then?"

Gumo paused briefly but quickly understood Lu Sheng's intentions.

"Ah, indeed, with Liu Yao's personality, she wouldn't want you to know this. But since you've asked, this old man will tell you."

After some contemplation, Gumo began to speak.

"The Tier Eight cosmic life form that grievously injured Liu Yao was from the Blood Bone Race. It was highly similar to the Death Moon Priest, but it served as a proxy for the Great Monarch of Corroded Blood within the Blood Bone Race."

"Called Decaying Sacrifice, its specialty lies in decaying the essence of cosmic life forms. Once critically injured by it, you must use Tier Eight treasures brimming with robust vitality to expel the decaying force. Otherwise, you must seek a top-tier expert to drive out the decaying force within the body!"

Hearing this, Lu Sheng instantly furrowed his brows.

Tier Eight life treasures were incredibly hard to come by.

It's well known that anything touching Tier Seven or even Tier Eight levels, not just within the Life Factions, but even in Star River University or the Human Federation, were rare treasures.

As for inviting an expert to expel the decaying force...

That, too, was exceedingly difficult. The Decaying Sacrifice itself is a Tier Eight cosmic life form, and even Gumo couldn't expel its decaying force.

Unless... a Tier Nine expert!

However, the Tier Nine experts of Star River University were needed to safeguard the front lines; Lu Sheng didn't know any Tier Nine experts either, making it much more difficult.

"No wonder Master Elder Sister didn't want to talk about her injuries. Restoring her to peak condition swiftly is no simple task!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Sheng couldn't help but sigh.

Be it Tier Eight life treasures or asking a Tier Nine expert to expel the decaying force within Liu Yao, it wasn't something Lu Sheng could manage at present.

Currently, the Life Factions and Martial Immortal Villa needed Lu Sheng's presence; he couldn't be away from them for too long.

Otherwise, if another crisis arose, it would be troublesome.

Gumo looked at Lu Sheng and smiled: "Don't worry, brat. I'm also working on healing Liu Yao's injuries. If I get any news, I'll inform you promptly!"

Hearing this, a smile spread across Lu Sheng's face.

"Thank you, Mentor, for your concern!"

Gumo snorted: "Liu Yao is this old man's prime disciple. Would I want to see her suffer from the decaying force for hundreds of years?"

"However... there's something I might need to remind you of!"

His words piqued Lu Sheng's curiosity.

"What is it?"

After a moment of silence, Gumo slowly said: "Now that you're a Tier Seven expert, looking at the history of Star River University, even in Emperor Bai's time, no one has ascended to Tier Seven at your young age."

"Moreover, with this recent war and the Ascension plan, your fame has spread throughout the Human Federation."
