In Emei, start by obtaining golden attributes.

Chapter 314 30/70 split
Upon realizing this, Gu Shaoan snorted coldly in his heart, preparing to circulate the pure Yin and Yang energies within his body.

But in the next instant, a flash of inspiration struck Gu Shaoan.

"No, today is not a life-or-death battle, there is no need to reveal all our cards."

Upon realizing this, Gu Shaoan immediately abandoned the idea of ​​using the "Great Shift of Heaven and Earth". In the instant his body leaned forward, his feet lightly touched the ground, and his figure disappeared like a ghost.

Seeing Gu Shaoan seemingly vanish into thin air, Zhu Wushi's pupils suddenly shrank to a point, and a sense of alarm erupted in his heart like a volcano.

The next second, as if sensing something, Zhu Wushi suddenly looked up.

But Gu Shaoan had already moved above him, and was about to fall. His right hand was spread out with five fingers, the knuckles were distinct like jade chopsticks, and his wrist was stretched out like an orchid leaf.

His gaze was lowered, his demeanor aloof and ethereal.

At this moment, in Zhu Wushi's eyes, it seemed as if the sky was filled with Gu Shaoan's hands pressing down on him from above, but in a daze, it seemed as if there was only one hand pressing down on him.

This surreal, dreamlike feeling sent a chill down Zhu Wushi's spine.

Then Zhu Wushi's gaze sharpened, and the Yin and Yang energies surrounding his body suddenly accelerated. The violent suction force was like an invisible giant hand, fiercely seizing the nine dragon-shaped energies that were roaring and churning around him.

With a low shout, nine colossal dragons, imbued with the power of a palm strike that could "shock a hundred miles" and the force of wind and heaven and earth, were drawn together by the immense power of the "Great Shift of Heaven and Earth".

The deep blue azure energy, like a tangible stream of flame, covered the nine twisted and intertwined dragon shadows before rushing back towards Gu Shaoan in the air.

Wherever it passed, the air was compressed to the extreme, emitting a piercing whistling sound that sent chills down one's spine.

Faced with this scene, Gu Shaoan's expression remained as indifferent as snow.

The hand that pressed down did not stop or retract; instead, it continued to gently brush downwards at a seemingly constant speed.

The movements were as gentle as smoothing out wrinkles on clothing, or as effortless as a fairy picking a flower.

Just as the nine deep blue-gold dragon shadows were a foot away from Gu Shaoan's hand.

hum!
An invisible force suddenly erupted from Gu Shaoan's Laogong acupoint in his palm without warning.

Like an invisible, vast ocean suddenly surging back, violently collapsing and squeezing the space below.

The nine raging dragon shadows, carrying deep blue azure energy and charging upwards with the power to destroy cities and fortresses, were like plunged into a pool of extremely viscous, transparent liquid the moment they collided with this invisible collapsing force field!
Their fierce forward charge was forcibly stopped.

The deep blue azure energy and the distorted dragon shadow began to violently deform and tear under this spatial-level stagnation force.

Then, it was forcibly squeezed and crushed in all directions by these terrifying energies.

Just like a piece of rotten wood thrown into a high-pressure water gun, it was instantly shattered into pieces.

The deep blue azure energy was forcibly shattered into countless chaotic azure light threads and fragments of broken dragon shadows, which, accompanied by chaotic shockwaves, scattered and burst in all directions like fireworks.

After the nine dragon-shaped energies were shattered, Gu Shaoan's falling body momentarily froze amidst the scattered energy.

Even Gu Shaoan's right hand, which was pressing down, paused for a moment at this moment.

It was this momentary pause that caused Zhu Wushi's eyes to flash.

With all his internal energy mobilized, Zhu Wushi's spine sprang up like a spring, and his right fist, suspended at his ribs, slammed into the approaching hand.

The punch was thrown like a comet striking the moon.

This punch was fierce and decisive.

Where the fist passed, the surrounding light seemed to distort and dim for a moment.

With Zhu Wushi's terrifying skill boosting it, this seemingly ordinary punch was indeed filled with terrifying power.

As the fist pierced the air, the surrounding air seemed unable to withstand the force contained in Zhu Wushi's punch, and it all made a sound like beans exploding before slamming into Gu Shaoan's palm.

"Boom~"

The next instant, a destructive energy more condensed and concentrated than any previous collision erupted within a small space!
A circular shockwave exploded right next to the point of impact.

The air was torn into a ripple, which spread rapidly in all directions along the ground.

The two terrifying energies collided violently and then annihilated each other.

A fierce wind raged outwards from the two of them, mixed with fine, dense energy, making the ground around them appear as if it had been pierced by millions of steel balls, leaving it riddled with holes.

The soil beneath Zhu Wushi's feet seemed to have turned into the softest snow, causing his legs from the knees down to sink completely into the mud.

But in the next instant, a force tore through Gu Shaoan's palm strike and surged into his body, causing Gu Shaoan's body to suddenly float backward in mid-air.

However, the moment this force invaded Gu Shaoan's body, the Gang Yuan within Gu Shaoan's body and the Jin Yuan, which had already reached a state of perfect unity within his body, both boiled up and instantly devoured the invading force.

In contrast, Gu Shaoan's body showed no abnormalities whatsoever.

After his figure swayed gracefully through the air for three zhang like a willow catkin, Gu Shaoan landed gently on his feet.

Just like before, she was calm and composed, without even the slightest disturbance in her breathing.

Taking in Gu Shaoan's calm and composed expression, and listening to his breathing, which remained steady as ever.

At this point, Zhu Wushi's indifference had vanished, and when he looked at Gu Shaoan, his eyes now held a hint of apprehension.

After this encounter, neither Zhu Wushi nor Gu Shaoan made any further moves.

As his inner energy slowly circulated, Gu Shaoan said, "The Divine Marquis's strength is indeed profound; I admire him."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Wushi put on a smile again: "After several moves, Young Hero Gu's expression remained unchanged. Young Hero Gu's strength is truly astonishing to me."

Finally, Zhu Wushi shook his head and said, "It seems that I will not be able to witness the brilliance of the Heaven-Slaying Sword today."

Gu Shaoan said slowly, "It's meant to be a friendly exchange, and it's best if we don't see any weapons."

Zhu Wushi nodded and said, "That's right."

As he spoke, Zhu Wushi looked up at the sky and then changed the subject, saying, "When I asked Young Master Gu about the Ghost Hand Gang back in the capital, why didn't you mention Wuzheng Manor at that time?"

Hearing Zhu Wushi's question, Gu Shaoan sneered inwardly, then said with an unchanged expression, "I hope you won't take offense, Divine Marquis. It's just that too much time has passed. I was young at the time, and although I knew some clues, they were all just conjectures without any concrete evidence. Moreover, the clues I knew back then pointed to a first-rate power like Wuzheng Manor. Without solid evidence, it would be risky for me to speak carelessly." "But this time, the former manor lord provoked us first, and I just happened to remember this matter, so I thought I'd test him a bit."

"Otherwise, I would have taken down the original manor lord as soon as I discovered his identity. Why would I have needed to use a secret mental energy technique to make him speak in front of everyone?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Wushi frowned slightly.

Among the guests that the Emei Sect hosted at the banquet, there were spies from the Dragon Guard Manor.

It can be said that everything that happened on Mount Emei that day was recorded in detail on the table at Hulong Villa.

Every single word of conversation between Gu Shaoan and Yuan Dongyuan was recorded.

Therefore, Zhu Wushi was able to discern from their conversation that Gu Shaoan did not take drastic measures even after taking over the original Dongyuan.

The explanation does match the information collected.

Although he still had doubts, Zhu Wushi didn't dare to ask any more questions in response to Gu Shaoan's reply.

He immediately said, "The Ghost Hand Gang is full of human traffickers who have been causing trouble in various places over the years. The imperial court takes this matter very seriously. Some of the children of imperial officials have even been kidnapped. This time, Young Master Gu has done a good thing for the Great Wei Kingdom by exposing Yuan Dongyuan."

Gu Shaoan sneered inwardly at Zhu Wushi's nonsense.

Although Yuan Dongyuan wasn't exceptionally intelligent, he wasn't so stupid as to be beyond redemption.

Know what can move and what cannot move.

Even if Yuan Dongyuan were incredibly stupid, he would never do something like targeting the children of court officials.

Zhu ignored these words, clearly using them as a pretext to conceal his true intentions.

Gu Shaoan did not expose this, but said frankly, "It was an unexpected move and does not deserve the praise of the Divine Marquis."

After exchanging a few polite words, Zhu Wushi said, "It's getting late, and I have other important matters to attend to, so I won't bother your sect any longer."

"Please proceed, Divine Marquis."

Gu Shaoan nodded in response.

He then turned slightly to the side and gestured for Zhu Wushi to enter.

A moment later, when the four of them reached the steps leading up the mountain, Gu Shaoan and Abbess Juechen stopped and watched Zhu Wushi and Duan Tianya leave.

Only when the two figures had reached the mountainside did Abbess Juechen turn her head to look at Gu Shaoan.

"Are you okay?"

In response to Master Juechen's question, Gu Shaoan smiled and said, "Uncle, there's no need to worry. It was just a friendly spar. Neither he nor I used our full strength."

Abbess Juechen responded, "Originally, my senior sister and I thought that Zhu Wushi's strength might be similar to that of the Demon Master Pang Ban, but today it seems that Zhu Wushi's strength is indeed far above that of Pang Ban."

Gu Shaoan said, "Zhu Wushi used the 'Absorption Technique' to absorb the power of too many martial artists. The 'Absorption Technique' is special. After absorbing the power of others, it will also turn the martial arts that others are best at into its own."

"His skill was so profound and his martial arts knowledge so extensive that it was far beyond what other top masters could match. Naturally, his strength was much greater than Pang Ban's."

Abbess Juechen asked, "Counting from that, you've already fought him twice. Now, if you were to face him again, would you be confident of victory?"

After pondering for a moment, Gu Shaoan said, "Without today's battle, I might have thought that I was 40 or 60 with him. But after today's battle, I think that if I were to really face Zhu Wushi, my chances of winning would be 30 or 70."

"He gets three, I get seven."

After the battle with Shangguan Jin Hong, Gu Shaoan's state of mind changed.

To gain a clearer understanding of his current strength and position.

Zhu Wushi was indeed strong, but his strength lay in the fact that his own skill was too exaggerated and his martial arts were too complex.

However, the price of Zhu Wushi's vast array of martial arts skills was that his mastery of these skills was haphazard and lacked depth.

Just like the "Great Shift of Heaven and Earth".

Zhu Wushi absorbed Yang Dingtian's power more than 20 years ago, and also learned the "Great Shift of Heaven and Earth" himself.

At that time, Zhu Wushi had already reached the fourth level in the "Great Shift of Heaven and Earth".

But now, more than twenty years later, Zhu Wushi has only mastered the sixth level of the "Great Shift of Heaven and Earth".

He's not even as good as Gu Shaoan.

However, it cannot be ruled out that Zhu Wushi is hiding even more deeply.

Having been famous for decades, Gu Shaoan didn't believe that someone like Zhu Wushi hadn't even mastered a martial art that touched upon the level of "momentum".

"He still has a 30% chance of winning, so it's still a bit dangerous!"

Gu Shaoan nodded and said, "Yes! For someone like Zhu Wushi, the only options are to kill him with one blow to eliminate any future trouble, or to stabilize the current situation for the time being."

More haste less speed.

Not to mention that the other party is a cunning and shrewd fox like Zhu Wushi.

Even being extremely careful is never too much.

That's why Gu Shaoan kept thinking about upgrading the "Invincible Vajra Divine Skill" to the twelfth level.

Abbess Juechen said, "It's alright. With your talent, Shao'an, your strength will definitely improve faster than Zhu Wushi's."

"Moreover, Senior Gu's 'Indestructible Vajra Divine Skill' has already reached the twelfth level. If you really break ties with Zhu Wushi, you can just join forces."

Gu Shaoan smiled and nodded, saying, "This disciple understands."

After glancing at the mountain steps, Gu Shaoan did not return directly to the back mountain with Abbess Juechen. Instead, he used his lightness skill to move towards the East Bamboo Forest.

　I accidentally wrote too much about the battle, so I deleted some parts and rewrote it, which is why it's a bit late. Please forgive me!
