In Emei, start by obtaining golden attributes.

Chapter 486 Raising Two Old Masters

Upon hearing this, Sun Baifa raised an eyebrow and said, "You want to destroy this passage?"

Gu Shaoan nodded and said, "That's right!"

Now, Gu Shaoan's essence, energy, and spirit have all been successfully condensed, and the essence and energy have been refined into a golden core using the "Martial Arts Golden Core" method.

After the trip to the Great Sui Kingdom, if all goes well, Gu Shaoan might be able to condense the Divine Flower next year. If not, it will only take another year or two for him to achieve the Three Elements Unity and enter the Celestial Realm.

At that time, Gu Shaoan's strength will be able to rival that of the Sitting Illumination Realm.

With Zhang Sanfeng's help, even if all the experts of the Great Xia Dynasty were to come together, they would still have the strength to fight.

But what is most feared is often not the enemy in the open, but the enemy hidden in the shadows.

Gu Shaoan's only concern now is that the connection between the Divine Land and the Nine Provinces is still intact. If the Divine Land discovers that the Nine Provinces have lost contact and sends experts into the Nine Provinces, it will only increase the uncertainty for Gu Shaoan.

However, Gu Shaoan only knew that the passage from the Divine Land to the Nine Provinces was established in the Great Sui Kingdom, but he had no recollection of the specific location.

Therefore, even without today's events, Gu Shaoan would have come to see Sun Baifa before setting off for the Great Sui Kingdom.

Sun Baifa exhaled the smoke from his mouth: "This old man thought you would directly ask me where the Nine Dragon Stone is."

Gu Shaoan said casually, "Imperial power is too tiring for me. It's much more comfortable to roam the martial world freely. Besides, as long as you have enough strength, the so-called imperial power is nothing but a joke."

Upon hearing this, Sun Baifa couldn't help but sigh, "If someone else had said this, I would have thought they were just ignorant and unaware of the dangers of the world. But with your talent, it's not impossible for you to reach the Celestial Realm in the future, or even become the first expert in the Nine Provinces to reach the Celestial Realm or above. Imperial power is indeed nothing to you."

Hearing what Sun Baifa said, Gu Shaoan chuckled inwardly, but did not tell Sun Baifa that Zhang Sanfeng had already entered the Sitting Illumination Realm.

Then, Sun Baifa said, "According to the information left by my Sun family ancestors, the passage through which the Great Xia Dynasty sent people to the Nine Provinces was actually a special altar, which was built below the Cihang Jingzhai Yun Shen Bu Zhi Chu in the Great Sui Kingdom."

Gu Shaoan frowned slightly: "It's Cihang Jingzhai again?"

After what happened with Yan Jing'an and Qin Mengyao, Gu Shaoan now has no good feelings towards the name "Cihang Jingzhai".

Even though Yan Jing'an and Qin Mengyao belong to the Cihang Jingzhai of the Great Wei Kingdom and the Cihang Jingzhai of the Great Sui Kingdom, although they share the same origin, they are no longer the same force.

Seeing Gu Shaoan frown, Sun Baifa chuckled and said, "The nun who founded Cihang Jingzhai was originally from the Great Xia Dynasty. Otherwise, do you think a martial arts world composed of women would just randomly enter the world under the guise of 'supporting the monarch' whenever there is chaos?"

"However, the old nun who founded Cihang Jingzhai did not leave these secrets behind, so that the people in Cihang Jingzhai in the Great Sui Dynasty did not know that from beginning to end, they were just tools in the hands of others."

As he spoke, Sun Baifa continued, "However, all I know is that this altar is located below Cihang Jingzhai. As for its exact location, I don't know either. But I do know something that can help you find that altar."

Gu Shaoan naturally knew what Sun Baifa was talking about.
The next moment, Sun Baifa spoke up: "This thing is the Evil Emperor's Relic, which is revered as a supreme treasure by the Demonic Sect of the Great Sui Kingdom."

Beside her, Sun Xiaohong asked curiously, "The Evil Emperor's Relic was able to help find the altar built by the Great Xia Dynasty. Could it be that the Demonic Sect was also established by the Great Xia Dynasty?"

After thinking for a moment, Sun Baifa said, "That statement isn't entirely wrong."

"The altar beneath Cihang Jingzhai can help people from the Divine Land to travel to the Nine Provinces. At the same time, the Nine Provinces can also activate this altar."

"However, to activate this altar, a special item is needed, namely the Evil Emperor's Relic."

"This Evil Emperor Relic was originally the key to activating the altar, allowing the people of the Nine Provinces to send messages regularly, reporting the situation within the Nine Provinces to the Divine Land."

"However, it takes a lot of energy to send the message from the sealed land of Kyushu to the land of Shenzhou."

"Therefore, the people of Tianji Pavilion established the Demon Sect using the top martial art 'Tianmo Ce' from Tianji Pavilion, and set a rule that each Evil Emperor must voluntarily transfer all his demonic skills into the Evil Emperor Relic before his death, so as to ensure that the Evil Emperor Relic has sufficient energy."

"It's also because this Evil Emperor's Relic is the key to activating the altar, so it has a certain connection with the altar."

"If you don't want to wander aimlessly like a headless fly looking for the location of the altar, the best way is to obtain the Evil Emperor's Relic first."

Gu Shaoan's heart stirred slightly.

Gu Shaoan already had a great interest in Yang Gong's treasure trove.

The Evil Emperor's Relic is a special type of ore that can store a martial artist's internal energy.

There is no distinction between good and evil.

To unlock the Evil Emperor's Relic and obtain its power, one must cultivate the Demonic Sect's martial arts to an extremely high level, and then combine this with a special unlocking method.

But Gu Shaoan is different.

Gu Shaoan obtained the "Absorption Technique" from Gu Santong a few years ago, and he could use the "Absorption Technique" to forcibly extract the energy from the Evil Emperor's Relic.

It's even possible to extract the power from the Evil Emperor's Relic and, using the purification method of the "Power Absorption Technique," send it into the bodies of Emei Sect disciples or elders, thus creating more masters of the Qi Condensation Realm in the future. Then, the Evil Emperor's Relic can be left within the Emei Sect, allowing successive sect leaders or elders who die of old age to transfer their Qi from cultivating the "Emei Nine Yang True Scripture" into the relic before sealing it away.

In this way, even if Gu Shaoan and Zhou Zhiruo are no longer in the Emei Sect a hundred or a thousand years later, the Emei Sect will at least have a master who has condensed his Qi into Gang to take charge.

Moreover, the Yang Gong Treasury contains a great deal of treasures, as well as many rare and exotic plants.

There must be something that Gu Shaoan can use.

In addition, there's the efficacy of the Evil Emperor's Relic that Sun Baifa is now talking about.

"It seems we have to make a trip to Yang Gong's treasure vault."

After calming down, Gu Shaoan asked Sun Baifa a few more questions before standing up.

"If Granny Sun inside has any further questions, she can come to the West Garden to see me anytime in the next couple of days."

Hearing Gu Shaoan's words, Sun Baifa's heart stirred slightly, and he nodded and said, "Alright, but you'd better be careful on your trip to the Great Sui Kingdom! Xiang Yutian was, after all, the Evil Emperor of the Demonic Sect. Even though he later hid his identity and became the current Hundred Knowledge Scholar in the Hundred Knowledge Pavilion, the Great Sui Kingdom still has some hidden tricks up its sleeve."

"According to my Sun family's investigations over the years, shortly after Xiang Yutian faked his death, a new force called Hidden Soldiers Valley appeared in the Great Sui Kingdom. There is a force called Bad People in the Valley, which has been gaining a reputation in the Great Sui Kingdom in recent years. It is very likely that Xiang Yutian secretly built it."

"They've been getting very close to the Li family, one of the four major clans, over the years. Be careful."

Upon hearing this, Gu Shaoan replied, "Thank you for the reminder, Elder Sun."

After speaking, Gu Shaoan nodded to Sun Xiaohong, then floated up and instantly soared ten zhang high, riding the wind away.

After watching Gu Shaoan leave, Sun Xiaohong couldn't help but sigh.

"I never expected Brother Gu's strength to be so high. Even a top-tier expert like White Hair Three Thousand Feet cannot resist him."

Hearing Sun Xiaohong's words, Sun Baifa also chimed in, "Yes! Who could have imagined that in just over a decade, this kid would have reached a height that ordinary people could never achieve in a lifetime? His talent is truly astonishing."

"Judging from Brother Gu's performance today, the news about the 'One Line Sky' issued by the imperial court may be true."

Immediately afterwards, Sun Baifa chuckled again.

"Perhaps the Great Xia Dynasty never expected that such a monstrous talent would emerge from the sealed land of the Nine Provinces. He had only just condensed his Yuan Qi into Gang Qi, yet his strength was enough to kill several experts at the Celestial Realm."

"With this kid's talent, it's a sure thing that he'll enter the Celestial Realm in a few years. I wonder what level his strength will reach."

"With Master Zhang of Wudang and this kid around, perhaps after the seal on the Nine Provinces is broken, the Great Wei Kingdom will be able to remain safe and sound when facing the Divine Land."

As a descendant of the Sun family, Sun Baifa had a deeper understanding of the situation in China.

They naturally understood that figures like Gu Shaoan and Zhang Sanfeng were once-in-a-millennium geniuses, even within the entire land of China.

The original seal on the land of Kyushu was set up by the Great Xia Dynasty to nurture the dragon vein.

As a result, the dragon vein has not yet been fully nurtured, but it is about to produce two old men.

For a moment, Sun Baifa was somewhat looking forward to the scene where the people of the Great Xia Dynasty would open the seal on the land of Kyushu and find that there were two old men in the land.

After leaving Sun Baifa's side, Gu Shaoan's sword intent stirred slightly, merging with the world of the Emei Sect.

In an instant, Gu Shaoan also sensed the various auras reflected in the sword's intent.

Sensing some familiar presences within the Golden Roof Hall, Gu Shaoan moved swiftly towards it.

The moment Gu Shaoan landed in the Golden Roof Hall, everyone in the hall turned their gazes to him.

The three elders, Abbess Miejue, Juechen, and Juejue, were seated at the head of the table, with Zhou Zhiruo, Yang Yan, and Mei Jiangxue standing to the side. There were also seven or eight other elders of the Emei Sect gathered in the hall.

As Gu Shaoan entered the main hall, several elders immediately stood up and respectfully bowed to him: "Young Sect Leader."

Their posture was impeccably upright, and their tone conveyed genuine respect.

Gu Shaoan nodded slightly and returned the greeting with a cupped hand, saying, "Greetings, elders."

After Gu Shaoan returned the greeting, Abbess Miejue slowly waved her hand in acknowledgment.

The elders understood and respectfully withdrew from the main hall. Soon, only Gu Shaoan, Abbess Miejue, Juechen, Juejue, Zhou Zhiruo, Yang Yan, Mei Jiangxue, and Zhao Jingxuan remained in the Golden Hall.
