In Emei, start by obtaining golden attributes.

Chapter 79 This disciple of mine is truly bringing good fortune to the sect!
Before her death, the previous sect leader, Abbess Fengling, secretly told Miejue that there was a piece of iron hidden inside both the Heaven Sword and the Dragon Saber.

Inside the iron plate are records of the treasures left behind by Guo Xiang's grandmaster's father and mother.

It contains the finest martial arts techniques, no less than those in the Nine Yang Manual.

However, according to Fengling Shitai, Guo Xiang's grandmaster once said that in order to retrieve the iron piece, the only way is to have the Heaven Sword and the Dragon Saber clash with each other. Only after the two divine weapons are broken can the treasure map be retrieved from it and the lost treasure be found.

Abbess Miejue also tried to use other famous divine weapons in the martial arts world to cut the Heaven Sword, but all attempts ended in failure.

This is why Miejue has wanted to obtain the Dragon Slayer Sword for so many years.

Who would have thought that the hilt of the Heaven Sword actually had a hidden secret, allowing one to remove the iron piece from the hilt without damaging the sword?

For a moment, Miejue's mind was shaken. Excitement and joy caused her internal energy and blood to surge slightly, and her face unconsciously turned a little red.

A moment later, Abbess Miejue hurriedly pressed Gu Shaoan for details of what had just happened.

Gu Shaoan pretended not to know and quickly recounted the process of his sparring with Zhou Zhiruo and how he struck the hilt of the Heaven Sword.

Having learned the whole story, Miejue now felt a sense of "a new vista opening up after a long and difficult journey".

If it weren't for Gu Shaoan's matter today, Miejue's mind would probably still be on the Dragon-Slaying Saber.

After years of long-cherished wishes, the extinction of his feelings at this moment can be imagined.

Looking at the piece of iron in his hand, and then at Gu Shaoan in front of him, he felt as if Gu Shaoan was a rare and precious child sent by the heavens.

Ever since Gu Shaoan joined Emei, Miejue felt that good things kept happening to her.

After a long while, once her emotions had calmed down, seeing Gu Shaoan's gaze fall on her hand, Miejue composed herself and asked, "Are you curious why there is this item inside the Heaven-Slaying Sword?"

Gu Shaoan nodded in acknowledgment.

Miejue explained, "People in the martial arts world all know that my Emei Sect was founded by our founder Guo Xiang, but nowadays, very few people know that our founder Guo Xiang also had a lineage of teachers."

"Moreover, the teacher is not from only one place."

"Within this iron plate lies the treasure left by Guo Xiang's biological father, the great hero Guo, and her biological mother, the heroine Huang Rong. It contains profound martial arts comparable to the Nine Yang Manual."

"Over the years, I have been searching for a way to remove it, but all my efforts have been in vain."

"But this time, your unintentional mistake led to the discovery of the secret within the Heaven Sword, which greatly helped your master."

Gu Shaoan glanced at the iron piece in Miejue's hand: "However, Master, this iron piece doesn't seem to be complete."

Miejue laughed and said, "That's right. The treasure map on this iron piece is only 30% complete. It only marks the specific location where the treasure is hidden, but it doesn't even record the exact location of the treasure."

"The other part is located inside another divine weapon in the martial arts world, the Dragon Slayer Saber."

At this point, Miejue smiled smugly.

In the past hundred years, almost no one in the martial arts world has known the name of Peach Blossom Island, let alone where it is.

If it were someone else, without obtaining the half-piece of iron from the Dragon Slayer Saber to combine it with the complete treasure map in Extinction's hand, even if they knew the treasure was located on Peach Blossom Island, they wouldn't know how to get there.

The Emei Sect was founded by Guo Xiang, and within the Emei Sect, there is a map of Peach Blossom Island left by Guo Xiang.

Therefore, even without the half piece of iron from the Dragon Slayer Sword, Abbess Miejue could still find the treasure after landing on the island, following the map.

This alone shows the difference between close and distant relatives, even in the inheritance of heirlooms.

This is why Miejue always regarded the martial arts in this treasure as the inheritance of Emei.

Seeing Miejue's reaction, Gu Shaoan could easily guess what she was thinking. However, he didn't ask any questions, but pretended to be confused and said, "I never expected that my unintentional mistake would actually do Master a great favor."

Upon hearing this, Miejue looked at Gu Shaoan with a smile in her eyes.

"This disciple of mine is truly bringing good fortune to the sect!"

In Miejue's view, the Heaven Sword has been passed down for three generations. Not to mention her, even Guo Xiang's grandmaster might not know that there was such a secret hidden on the hilt.

However, Gu Shaoan had only recently obtained the Heaven-Slaying Sword when he unexpectedly discovered this secret.

In Miejue's view, Gu Shaoan was also a person with great fortune.

Otherwise, how could joining Emei bring so many benefits to the sect?

After a pause, Miejue said, "This matter concerns the secrets of my Emei Sect and involves profound martial arts. If the news leaks out, it may bring disaster."

"Shao'an, you must not spread this matter to anyone, not even your senior sisters."

Gu Shaoan nodded and said, "Disciple understands, Master, please rest assured."

After saying this, Gu Shaoan bowed and turned to leave the room, leaving Abbess Miejue alone in the room, holding the iron sheet and laughing to herself.

Back in his bamboo courtyard, Gu Shaoan let out a long sigh of relief.

The matter has finally been resolved.

His gaze fell on the floor, looking at the spot where the Heaven-Slaying Sword had been inserted, and a smile appeared on Gu Shaoan's face.

Given how much Miejue values ​​this treasure, it's estimated that it won't be long before she personally sets off secretly to Peach Blossom Island to find it according to the treasure map.

Things turned out exactly as Gu Shaoan had predicted.

Or rather, the extinction was happening more urgently than Gu Shaoan had anticipated.

Almost as soon as Gu Shaoan returned to the Bamboo Courtyard, less than an incense stick's time had passed, Miejue once again used her true energy to summon the group, simply stating that she was going on a long trip before hurriedly descending the mountain.

Moreover, before setting off, considering that her journey would take a considerable amount of time, Miejue proactively transmitted the contents of the "Emei Nine Yang Skill, Third Level" to Gu Shaoan.

But after considering Gu Shaoan's cultivation speed, he finally decided to teach Gu Shaoan the remaining techniques of the "Emei Nine Yang Skill".

After confirming that Gu Shao's safety was fully memorized, they immediately set off.

This hurried state made Zhao Jingxuan and the others wonder what major event had occurred.
"Junior brother, Master only returned to the mountain a few days ago. What is it that he has to leave in such a hurry today?"

Gu Shaoan replied, "Master is highly respected and naturally has many important matters to attend to on a daily basis. Senior Sister, just focus on your cultivation and complete the tasks assigned by Master."

As he spoke, Gu Shaoan glanced toward the entrance to the back mountain.

Peach Blossom Island is located in the East China Sea. It is likely that it will take at least half a year for the Extinction Party to return.

However, when Miejue returns to Emei, the Emei Sect will have two more superior martial arts techniques that can rival the Nine Yang Manual.

Given the importance Miejue placed on him, she would certainly not be stingy and would pass on the Nine Yin Manual and the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms to him.

With these two martial arts skills, Gu Shaoan only needs to stay in Emei and focus on his training every day. After eight years, his strength will be enough to protect himself and Emei.

Thinking of this, even Gu Shaoan couldn't help but feel a bit more anticipation for these two new martial arts techniques.
