In Emei, start by obtaining golden attributes.

Chapter 369 How could this not hurt? (Third Update)

In the clearing of the bamboo forest, Gu Shaoan and Gu Santong stood facing each other, three zhang apart.

The atmosphere subtly shifted.

Gu Santong took a deep breath, let out a low shout, and his body sank slightly. His powerful and unparalleled true energy burst forth, combined with his own golden essence, causing his entire body and the surface of his body to be filled with thick and condensed qi as heavy as a mountain.

As the "Invincible Vajra Divine Skill" was activated, Gu Santong's expression did not relax in the slightest.

After hesitating for a moment, Gu Santong coughed lightly: "Kid, be gentle."

Seeing this, Gu Shaoan's smile remained unchanged: "Don't worry, I'll be gentle, it won't hurt."

"Fine!"

Gu Santong relaxed slightly, and then began to focus his attention.

Clearly, Gu Santong was interested in Gu Shaoan's newly created martial arts.

Upon seeing this, Gu Shaoan clasped his hands together, then slowly separated them, his internal energy and spirit surging forth with the movement.

call--

In an instant, with him at the center, it seemed as if some kind of "momentum" was stirred up in the world.

Gu Shaoan's gold and white robes fluttered in the wind, and his hair flew wildly. A heavy atmosphere instantly spread, and even though they were three zhang apart, Gu Santong felt as if a stone was suddenly pressing down on his heart, leaving him with a somewhat suffocating feeling.

"This feeling...is not right!"

Gu Santong raised a golden eyebrow, a slight chill running through him.

Immediately afterward, under Gu Santong's gaze, the light behind Gu Shaoan began to distort and converge!
Countless pale blue, almost transparent streams of air, as if forcibly drawn from the void, surged wildly toward the space three zhang behind him.

These air currents intertwined and merged with the surging golden energy within Gu Shaoan's body, producing a deep, howling sound of wind and thunder!
At the same time, streams of the power of heaven and earth began to be drawn in from the surroundings and merged into the chilling pale blue aura behind Gu Shaoan.

"boom"

The next second, a sudden tremor ran through the air.
A colossal wind god statue, nearly four zhang tall and towering, appeared prominently behind Gu Shaoan.

A blue light flowed around it, its majestic features blurred.

Hundreds and thousands of condensed, tangible azure wind bands surrounded his body. These wind bands were incredibly agile, like living azure dragons and snakes, weaving and circling around the enormous Dharma image, emitting sharp, hissing whistles that pierced the air.

Each gust of wind that swept across the ground carved deep furrows, the sharp sounds of cutting through the air blending together as if countless invisible blades were spinning at high speed.

A vast, domineering, and tearing pressure, like a tangible ocean wave, swept across the entire open space, centered on the Wind God's Dharma Image.

The pebbles and fallen leaves on the ground were forced to lie close to the ground by this oppressive force, and some even rolled away in the opposite direction.

"What...what is this?!"

Gu Santong's fighting spirit and composure froze instantly. His eyes widened, his mouth opened slightly, and he stood there completely dumbfounded, as if struck by lightning.

He roamed the martial arts world for decades, witnessing countless extraordinary skills and techniques. He himself possessed unique skills such as the "Indestructible Vajra Divine Skill" and the "Absorption Technique".

But the scene before him was completely beyond his comprehension!

The surprise in his heart even caused the surging internal energy within Gu Santong to momentarily stagnate.

Gu Shaoan stood before the image of the Wind God. Compared to the enormous image, his figure appeared tiny. However, as Gu Shaoan raised his head, the image of the Wind God behind him moved in accordance with his movements.

Looking at Gu Santong, who was staring blankly at him, Gu Shaoan's lips curled into a smile.

"Uncle Gu, be careful."

As he spoke, Gu Shaoan suddenly raised his right hand and slapped it down in mid-air.

As Gu Shaoan moved, the azure wind god dharma image behind him also raised its huge arm, which was made of condensed wind element and qi, with its five fingers spread open, carrying tearing wind and azure wind blades, and pressed down with a palm towards Gu Santong, who was three zhang away.

Before the enormous palm shadow even landed, Gu Santong already felt as if his aura had been locked.

Gu Santong was shocked to see the faint blue palm shadow in the air that seemed to blot out the sky.

"Doesn't this fucking hurt?"

Such martial arts, such terrifying pressure, such condensed energy to the extreme.

In Gu Santong's view, if he were to be struck by Gu Shaoan's palm, it wouldn't be a matter of pain, but of life or death.

In an instant, Gu Santong broke out in a cold sweat down his back.

However, his aura was locked, and even if Gu Santong wanted to avoid it, he had no way to dodge this huge palm strike.

In the end, he could only forcefully mobilize all the internal energy, metal energy, and primordial strength within his body in an attempt to defend as much as possible.

The next second, the enormous palm of the Wind God's Dharma Form landed on Gu Santong.

"boom!"

Instead of the expected earth-shattering explosion, the first sounds were countless extremely sharp cutting and tearing sounds, as dense as thousands of sharp blades scraping against refined iron at the same time.

Gu Santong's pupils contracted sharply again!
He had assumed that the seemingly solid giant palm shadow was filled with nothing more than a wind blade condensed by Gu Shaoan using powerful internal energy combined with a special mental technique.

However, when the palm strike landed and collided with his internal energy, he was horrified to realize that he had underestimated the situation.

The wind blades condensed within these palm shadows were not only extremely refined, but also contained unique and peculiar energy.

This gave these wind blades the ability to cut through gold and jade, and some of them also contained wind vortices with terrifying power. Under the power of these wind blades and vortices, Gu Santong's protective aura was torn apart at an extremely fast speed.

In the blink of an eye, the giant cyan palm had broken through the protective aura he had created using the Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill.

The jade palm shadow was less than an inch away from Gu Santong's head.

Just as the palm shadow of the Wind God's Dharma Image was about to fall fiercely and slam him into the ground.

Gu Shaoan suddenly pulled his right hand fingers inward, and then his wrist flicked upward with exquisite precision.

Under Gu Shaoan's control, the Dharma image palm shadow that had just struck Gu Santong instantly collapsed, turning into a fierce gust of wind that spread in all directions.

Although the remaining strong wind also carried some special energy, Gu Santong's physical strength and the protective energy gathered by his Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill were enough to completely ignore it.

While maintaining the Wind God Dharma Image behind him, Gu Shaoan gave Gu Santong, who was still somewhat stunned, a smile that Gu Santong might find a bit annoying.

"How is it? It doesn't hurt, I wasn't lying to you, was I?"

Upon hearing the voice, Gu Santong's face immediately darkened.

"If I were slapped to death by you, it wouldn't hurt anymore." After grumbling, Gu Santong looked up again at the extraordinary wind god dharma image behind Gu Shaoan.

"You little rascal, you've created another amazing martial art!"

Gu Shaoan said, "This martial art is called the 'Heavenly Will Four Symbols Technique'. Unlike the 'Emei Sword Manual', the 'Heavenly Will Four Symbols Technique' should normally be a special martial art suitable for martial artists in the Heavenly Human Realm."

Gu Santong stared at Gu Shaoan in astonishment, "A martial art that only a Celestial Realm martial artist can cultivate? The requirements are that high?"

Gu Shaoan withdrew his Qi and dispersed the Wind God Dharma Image that had condensed behind him, saying, "What I just used was the first technique, 'Wind God's Wrath.' With the Qi combined with the mental cultivation method, it can move the wind and the power of heaven and earth and condense into the Wind God Dharma Image."

Gu Santong suddenly realized, "No wonder those wind blades are so sharp; they've been infused with the power of heaven and earth."

Gu Shaoan nodded and said, "Compared to the Emei Sword Manual, this martial art is more powerful, but it is also much more difficult to cultivate, and the consumption of vital energy when using it is also extremely high."

"Even a martial artist who has condensed his Yuan Qi into Gang Qi cannot use the 'Heavenly Will Four Symbols Technique' more than a few times if his skill is insufficient."

After listening to Gu Shaoan's explanation, Gu Santong looked enlightened: "I see."

At this moment, Gu Shaoan changed the subject and looked at Gu Santong: "Want to learn?"

The moment the question was uttered, Gu Santong's eyes lit up.

He chuckled, then rubbed his hands together, his face suddenly becoming somewhat obsequious: "Senior Brother Gu, do you think I can learn this?"

Gu Shaoan: "."

Hearing how Gu Santong addressed him, Gu Shaoan's eyelids twitched.

At this moment, Gu Shaoan realized that he had overestimated Gu Santong's integrity.

In response, Gu Shaoan raised his hand to interrupt Gu Santong, saying with a hint of helplessness, "I came to find you because I wanted to pass on the first chapter of the 'Heavenly Will Four Symbols Technique' to you."

"This 'Four Symbols of Heavenly Will' technique can draw upon the power of heaven and earth, and at the same time refine it. I remember Master Zhang also said that through the power of heaven and earth, one can also temper the spirit and energy of a martial artist."

"If one can master the first technique, 'Wind God's Wrath,' to the level of 'entering the inner chamber,' then one can use this move to refine the power of heaven and earth and then introduce it into the body."

"With this 'Four Symbols of Heavenly Will' technique, the process of integrating your essence, energy, and spirit may be accelerated, and the difficulty of condensing the three flowers of essence, energy, and spirit will be reduced later."

Listening to Gu Shaoan's explanation of the "Four Symbols of Heavenly Will," Gu Santong was utterly astonished.

"It can even refine the power of heaven and earth?"

Gu Santong had been craving the power of heaven and earth for far too long.

Upon returning to the Emei Sect, Gu Santong obtained the sword techniques and mental cultivation methods for "Sword One" to "Sword Four" from Gu Shaoan, and then devoted himself to practicing them day and night.

However, more than a month has passed, and now Gu Santong has only barely mastered these four sword moves to the "beginner level".

This made Gu Santong realize that it was basically impossible for him to use the "Emei Sword Manual" to draw upon the power of heaven and earth like Gu Shaoan.

Unexpectedly, after returning to Emei, Gu Shaoan created a martial art even stronger than the "Emei Sword Manual".

Moreover, judging from Gu Shaoan's appearance, this martial art is clearly suitable for him.

The thought of being able to conjure a majestic wind god image behind him before a fight, just imagining it made Gu Santong's body tremble with excitement.

Afterwards, Gu Shaoan memorized the mental techniques and key points of the first technique, "Wind God's Wrath," several times. Only after confirming that Gu Santong had memorized it did Gu Shaoan use his lightness skill to leave.

Leaving the East Bamboo Forest, the summer heat seemed to be dispelled by the lingering cool and sharp aura of Feng Shen Nu emanating from Gu Shaoan.

His figure was elusive, stepping on treetops and leaves, and in a few leaps he had already covered several miles.

However, after traveling for several miles, Gu Shaoan seemed to have thought of something. He turned around and instead of heading towards the villa on the west side of Mount Da'e, he went to a secluded place on the mountainside that was rarely visited by people.

Before long, after passing through a dense bamboo forest, the view suddenly opened up before us.

A naturally formed mountain pool comes into view. The source of the pool is unknown, but it is crystal clear and unfathomably deep. Its surface is unusually calm, resembling a huge, emerald-green glass mirror embedded among the rocks and vegetation.

Ancient trees and vines hang down from the ground, making this place extremely secluded. Only a few rays of sunlight filter through the leaves, casting dappled and shimmering light on the water's surface, adding to the tranquility and mystery.

It is this Bishuitan (碧水潭) on Mount Da'e.

When they were young, Gu Shaoan often brought Zhou Zhiruo and Yang Yan to rest here to cool off.

Gu Shaoan looked around and, after sensing the aura, confirmed that apart from the occasional chirping of birds and insects, there was no other presence. He then slowly walked to the edge of the pool and calmed his mind.

As the internal energy and spirit circulated within him, the Wind God Dharma Image was once again condensed behind Gu Shaoan.

As the Dharma form took shape, its vast and majestic aura naturally spread out, startling away several birds on nearby branches, and causing the fine grass by the pool to droop slightly.

Immediately afterwards, Gu Shaoan leaped into the air!

It wasn't an extremely high leap, but as he jumped, the enormous wind god dharma image behind him followed closely, maintaining a completely synchronized relative position with Gu Shaoan, and ascending into the air in sync.

Until one stands in the very center of the pool.

Under his deliberate control, the powerful energy of the Wind God Dharma Image behind him did not dissipate in the slightest, keeping the surface of the Azure Pool as calm as a mirror.

Gu Shaoan lowered his head, his gaze falling on the enormous "water mirror" below.

The light emanating from the Buddha's image reflected on the water's surface, turning the pool a deep blue-green, adding a touch of dreamlike beauty to the shimmering waves.

Gu Shaoan's handsome and calm face formed a strange contrast and echo with the blurry yet fierce and majestic giant face of the Dharma Image behind him.

The azure gale-force winds, like ribbons, encircled the Dharma image. In the reflection of the water mirror, they seemed to merge with the flowing clouds in the sky and the ripples in the water, containing endless power and beauty in their movement and stillness.

Looking at himself and the Wind God's Dharma Image behind him from the calm, still water, Gu Shaoan's eyes suddenly lit up, a clear sense of appreciation and satisfaction flashing in them.

Strength is fundamental; it is the basis for survival.

But being handsome is an extra, irresistible bonus.

As a man, who can resist the thought that, when he has a thought, an energy emanation behind him appears, like a deity descending from mythology?

"good."

Gu Shaoan's lips unconsciously curled up slightly, and the sense of accomplishment in his heart was even stronger than when he had just broken through Gu Santong's defense.

He even tried to slightly adjust the posture of the Dharma image behind him, making the surrounding gale flow more rhythmically and making the angle of the Dharma image's angry gaze more disdainful.

After a while, when more than half of the internal energy in his body had been consumed, Gu Shaoan finally dispersed the Wind God Dharma Image and moved towards the other courtyard with satisfaction.

　The debt has been paid off!
