In Emei, start by obtaining golden attributes.

Chapter 54 The Power of Divine Weapons
Zhou Zhiruo nodded seriously: "Zhiruo has remembered it. I will be careful in everything I do in the future and will not trust others easily."

Extinction nodded in satisfaction.

As a teacher, Miejue's requirements for her disciples were not actually too high.

All they wanted was for their disciples to be devoted to the righteous path, respect their teachers, and not disgrace their school.

In terms of talent, Zhou Zhiruo was not as good as Gu Shaoan.

In other areas, however, Zhou Zhiruo pleased Miejue quite a bit.

Then, as if she had thought of something, Miejue suddenly looked at Gu Shaoan.

“You were born with a sword-like spirit, and your strength far surpasses that of your peers. With the Bodhi Linglong Pill, you not only enhance your skills but also increase your strength, making you no weaker than Song Qingshu. I am not surprised. However, I did not expect that you could cultivate the Willow Floss Sword Technique and the Divine Dragon Three Appearances to such a high level in such a short time.”

"Your performance today has truly amazed me."

The threat of extinction is not an exaggeration.

While getting back the Heaven Sword and obtaining the Wudang Nine Yang Skill certainly pleased Miejue, what surprised her even more was the talent that Gu Shaoan displayed.

The Heaven-Slaying Sword is ultimately just an external force.

The internal energy cultivation method also needs to be practiced by the disciples.

Moreover, the "Emei Nine Yang Skill" is no less powerful than the "Wudang Nine Yang Skill," yet it has remained inferior to Wudang over the years.

The reason for this is that Emei has failed to produce a leader like Zhang Sanfeng who can guide its rise.

For Miejue, Gu Shaoan's performance today brought her far more than just the exhilaration of triumph.

It is also a profound comfort.

This is the first glimmer of hope for the future that Emei Mountain, which she has painstakingly and painstakingly protected, has finally shown.

What Miejue is thinking now is to do everything in her power to protect this glimmer of hope, until this glimmer of hope gradually turns into a raging fire.

Gu Shaoan shook his head and said, "I have a long road ahead of me, and I have only just entered the path of martial arts. How can I deserve such praise from my master?"

Seemingly accustomed to Gu Shaoan's composure, Miejue smiled gently and then focused her gaze on the Heaven-Slaying Sword in her hand.

His right hand gently stroked the scabbard, lost in thought.

At the same time, Gu Shaoan's attention was also focused on the Heaven-Slaying Sword in Miejue's hand.

To be more precise, it was placed on the hilt of the Heaven-Slaying Sword.

While others may not know, Gu Shaoan is fully aware of the secrets of the Heaven-Slaying Sword. He even knows how to open the sword and retrieve the treasure map hidden within (based on the revised version of the setting).

Because both the Heaven Sword and the Dragon Saber are unparalleled divine weapons, especially the Dragon Saber which is made entirely of black iron and is difficult to damage, there is a part near the hilt of both weapons that is made of soft iron. You can use another weapon to slowly cut into it and take out the iron piece inside that contains the treasure map.

Although Grandmaster Guo Xiang passed on the secret of the treasure map hidden inside the Heaven Sword to successive sect leaders, she also said that in order to retrieve the treasure map, one would need to obtain the Dragon Slayer Saber.

Although Gu Shaoan knew another method, how could he bring it up to say it to Miejue?
If the secret cannot be revealed, Gu Shaoan will be unable to access, let alone cultivate, the martial arts techniques within.

Although there is no ranking system for martial arts in the world.

The strength or weakness also depends on the user of the martial art.

However, the level of intention behind the creation of a martial art also determines its upper and lower limits.

This is also the difference between superior and inferior martial arts.

Both the Nine Yin Manual and the Essentials of the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms are considered top-tier even in the vast martial arts world.

It is profound and mysterious, far surpassing the existing martial arts within the Emei Sect.

If Gu Shaoan could start cultivating a day earlier, his strength would improve by a significant margin.

If Gu Shaoan were to dedicate himself to cultivation for ten years, with his talent and the effects of the [Enlightenment], his strength would rank among the top masters in the martial arts world. His importance is self-evident.

However, after thinking for a while, Gu Shaoan still couldn't come up with a suitable reason to reveal the secret hidden inside the Heaven Sword.

For a moment, Gu Shaoan didn't know how to solve this problem.

Seemingly lost in thought, Miejue noticed Gu Shaoan's gaze and smiled inwardly.

Two hours later, by a stream, after choosing a spot, the group, who had been traveling continuously, stopped at the signal of Juechen and the others.

As the carriage came to a stop, Miejue, who had just opened her eyes, suddenly raised her hand and patted Gu Shaoan on the shoulder.

"Let's go!"

Gu Shaoan, who was about to begin his cultivation, paused slightly.

In the past, when the carriage stopped, Miejue never interfered with him, always letting Gu Shaoan arrange his own actions.

This is the first time someone has taken the initiative to ask Gu Shaoan to get off the carriage like this.

Although he was puzzled, Gu Shaoan nodded and stood up.

After getting off the carriage, Miejue did not linger with Gu Shaoan at the place where the carriage was parked, but instead led Gu Shaoan along the stream for nearly a mile.

Once she had her feet firmly planted, as she turned around, she raised her left hand and threw the Heaven-Slaying Sword at Gu Shaoan.

Gu Shaoan instinctively caught the Heaven-Slaying Sword that Miejue threw at him, and his expression froze.

Before Gu Shaoan could speak, Miejue said, "Give it a try."

Although the intentions of the Extinction Project at this time are unclear.

But Gu Shaoan didn't waste words. After looking the Yitian Sword in his hand over and over a few times, he inserted the Chengxin Sword, which he had been holding in his left hand, into the ground, and then held the Yitian Sword, which he had just caught, in his left hand.

Compared to the Chengxin Sword, the Yitian Sword is significantly heavier.

The moment he gripped the hilt of the sword with his right hand, the additional effect of "Drawing the Sword Like a Rainbow" allowed Gu Shaoan to immediately assess the situation of the Heaven-Slaying Sword.

Excluding the weight of the scabbard, the sword itself should weigh seven catties and thirteen taels, with a blade length of three feet and seven inches.

With a powerful thrust of his arm, a clear, melodious cry, like the cry of a phoenix from the heavens, suddenly illuminated the streamside!
The sword is long and straight, and its color is not dazzlingly bright, but rather a deep, dark blue, as if it has contained the essence of ancient ice.

As Gu Shaoan channeled his inner energy into the Yitian Sword, an incomparably sharp aura spread out invisibly from the Yitian Sword, causing the nearby streamside weeds to snap silently.

"Such sharp sword energy."

The sword energy is unique, formed from the internal energy of a master swordsman after it has transformed into true qi, and is born from his own swordsmanship, making it extremely sharp.

Gu Shaoan had not yet cultivated true qi, and his internal energy alone was insufficient to leave his body.

However, after being injected into the Heaven Sword, it was able to spontaneously generate sword energy, transforming the sword energy into a sharp weapon.

It's so unique, no wonder it became a treasure of Emei.

Perhaps it was the thrill of seeing a prey, but after sensing the strangeness of the Heaven-Slaying Sword, Gu Shaoan no longer hesitated. He moved slightly and immediately used the Willow Catkin Sword Technique.

However, this time was completely different from usual!
With a slight twist of the wrist, the sword moves still appear as smooth and gentle as water.

However, when the true energy attached to the spine of the sword came into contact with the invisible air resistance, the purest and most indestructible sword energy contained within the Yitian Sword was instantly activated!
Tsk—tsk—tsk!
Several subtle yet incredibly clear whooshing sounds rang out.

As the sword swayed and drew circles with its supple movements, the originally formless and intangible "willow branches" suddenly cut out several fine, twisted, and almost transparent sword energy ripples in the void.

Like ripples spreading across calm water after a pebble has been thrown in, only these ripples are composed of incredibly sharp sword energy.

Seeing the "Willow Catkin Sword Technique" performed with the Heaven-Slaying Sword, Gu Shaoan was shocked.
