Chapter 1105: Wu Wu Xingyun Breaks Free of Fate

Li Qiu did want to learn a few moves from Gu Gu Hanyuan as well.

Yet Gu Gu Hanyuan refused.

It wasn't that Gu Gu Hanyuan was hoarding his tricks.

Rather, it wasn't worth the cost.

Although Li Qiu had likewise absorbed a great deal of spiritual energy,

it wasn't enough to support her using them even a few times.

After all, Li Qiu had given birth to Li Li Qingluo and Li Liangzuo in succession.

Li Li Qingluo, Wang Wang Yuyan, and Li Li Qinglu were all peerless beauties.

So inevitably a fair amount of spiritual energy had been diverted.

Li Qiu wasn't like Huang Rong, who had gathered the spiritual essence of heaven and earth.

Gu Gu Hanyuan's ultimate moves were all heavy consumers of spiritual energy.

Rather than treating spiritual energy as a one-time consumable,

it was better used to aid cultivation.

Once her cultivation base reached the peak of Grand Master, there would still be time to learn them.

With the "Yin-Yang Spirit Blood Pill" and the "Yin Pian" of the "Xiang Yin Yang Jue" aiding her cultivation,

Li Qiu breaking through to the peak of Grand Master wouldn't take more than a few years.

Gu Gu Hanyuan took the opportunity to take stock of the gains from Western Xia.

Setting aside actually taking control of the country of Western Xia,

the Haodefan points consumed earlier to fuse the "Xiang Yin Yang Jue" had been largely recouped.

Li Li Qinglu's SSS-rank evaluation could be considered barely completed.

The reward given, however, was quite good.

The Wu Ling Xian Shu gained another kind — "Earth Ling Xian Shu."

The "Earth Ling Xian Shu" was on the weaker side in the world of "Xian Jian."

But in this world it was very useful.

If the terrain was right,

only a small amount of spiritual energy was needed to produce astonishing results.

It could be called high quality at a low price.

Last night's operation naturally also earned an SSS-rank evaluation.

The reward given was the Five Tribulations Demon-Subduing Cone from "Xian Jian."

The Five Tribulations Demon-Subduing Cone was certainly extremely powerful on its own.

Even the spiritual energy consumed when using it could be considered modest.

The only problem was that the Five Tribulations Demon-Subduing Cone harbored evil qi.

One who misused it was extremely likely to be backlashed by its power.

Even Gu Gu Hanyuan as he was now could hardly avoid this.

The "Xiang Yin Yang Jue" emphasized the unity of yin and yang.

It had no suppressive effect on evil qi.

The Cold Moon Sword Case already held the demonic sword and Soul-Devourer, brimming with malevolence.

Now another Five Tribulations Demon-Subduing Cone harboring evil qi had been added.

It inevitably gave Gu Gu Hanyuan something of a headache.

With all these, one could outright manufacture a villainous BOSS by hand.

Scheming to take Western Xia likewise earned an SSS-rank evaluation.

The reward was one of the "Long Yuan Seven Fiend Swords" from "Gu Jian" — the sword "Jueyun."

The "Long Yuan Seven Fiend Swords" were seven fiend swords forged by the Long Yuan clan using forbidden arts and countless souls.

The seven swords belonged respectively to yin and yang and the five elements, with yin and yang complementing each other.

They were the metal sword Buchen, the fire sword Fenji, the wood sword Changmu, the sword Jueyun, the earth sword Daju, the yin sword Huishi, and the yang sword Huangmie.

Mm, another fiend sword had come along.

Likewise a divine weapon of matchless power,

yet with an enormous hidden danger.

The Cold Moon Sword Case gained another permanent resident.

Weapons with such a great influence on one's state of mind appearing one after another

was as if they were forcing Gu Gu Hanyuan to obtain a way to counter them.

The "Bing Xin Jue" could only be said to be barely serviceable.

After all, the "Bing Xin Jue" only suppressed rather than dispelled.

For short periods it wasn't a big problem.

Used over long periods, there would inevitably come a time when the suppression failed.

Therefore the "Bing Xin Jue" could only serve as an emergency measure.

It could not be used as a regular method.

Although the three SSS-rank evaluation rewards from the Western Xia trip were somewhat unexpected,

what truly surprised Gu Gu Hanyuan was not these.

Wu Wu Xingyun was originally no heroine at all.

Most of the time, he was nothing more than background scenery in *Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils*.

His appearances seemed to be nothing but a tool to deliver a divine art, a faction, and a woman to Xuzhu.

His presence was strong.

Yet his standing within the overall plot was utterly unremarkable.

But because of Gu Gu Hanyuan, Wu Wu Xingyun—

completely broke free of her fate.

She actually received a villain rating of her very own.

She skipped the series rating entirely.

Just like Huang Rong.

She earned an exclusive EX rating.

The villain points gained from Wu Wu Xingyun alone naturally could not add up to the Shiwanfan Sect threshold.

But strictly speaking—

the entire Western Xia bride-seeking tournament came about because of Wu Wu Xingyun's sudden whim.

All to deliver herself to the door.

She cooked up a swap-the-substitute plan.

Even though plenty of accidents cropped up in the end,

the system still judged that the acquisition of those villain points was tied to Wu Wu Xingyun.

It barely scraped together enough Shiwanfan Sect points.

Take Huang Rong as an example.

Wu Wu Xingyun's web of relationships—

it would probably be very hard to farm a second EX rating from her.

The only possibility would be finding Li Canghai someday,

and bringing Li Qiu along as well.

Then there might still be a sliver of hope.

But even so, the reward from just one EX rating was already astonishing enough.

What it granted was the Kong Dong Yin—one of the Ten Great Divine Artifacts of antiquity from *Xuanyuan Sword*.
