Chapter 353

The demon sword floated in midair.

As expected, it was far more agile.

Gu Gu Hanyuan reached out and gripped the hilt.

After being unsealed, the demon sword, weighing over a hundred catties, nearly slipped from his grasp.

As expected, it still had to acknowledge a master first.

Yet the process of acknowledging a master was unexpectedly easy.

Because the sword spirit was still sealed within.

Unlike Jingtian, who had it acknowledge him on its own.

Gu Gu Hanyuan lightly trailed a finger along the demon sword's blade.

In an instant, blood flowed out and spread across the demon sword.

The demon sword absorbed Gu Gu Hanyuan's blood without the slightest resistance.

Until the demon sword stopped drinking blood.

Only then did Gu Gu Hanyuan staunch the bleeding from his wound.

He felt that a faint connection had already formed between himself and the demon sword.

He then branded his divine sense upon the demon sword.

The demon sword instantly became as obedient as an extension of his own arm.

Nor could he feel that weight of over a hundred catties anymore.

But looking at the crushed marks on the ground.

Clearly, it was not that the demon sword had lost its weight.

Rather, it would no longer affect Gu Gu Hanyuan's control of it.

The most important point was that the demon sword could now protect its master on its own.

Gu Gu Hanyuan had never been able to comprehend "Heaven and Earth Sword Twenty-Three of Emotion."

He remained stuck at the threshold, unable to cross it.

The flaw in the flesh of "Heaven-Destroying Earth-Severing Sword Twenty-Three" was far too great.

If someone were to launch a sneak attack while he was using it, even if he didn't die.

The outcome would still be grievous injury.

The cautious Gu Gu Hanyuan would absolutely never allow himself to be exposed to danger.

Only now, with the demon sword protecting him, did he feel a little more at ease.

Gu Gu Hanyuan's eyes flickered.

He could sense that the sword spirit within the demon sword was slumbering.

If one more layer of seal were undone.

The sword spirit would awaken.

And most likely, that sword spirit was Long Kui.

Because Gu Gu Hanyuan sensed that there were two sword spirits.

He didn't know why even sword spirits could be sent over by the system.

But he did not believe himself to be the reincarnation of Jingtian or Long Yang.

Gu Gu Hanyuan's current realm was still far too low.

Perhaps in the Wuxia World he might still reign supreme.

But against an immortal-cultivation system, he had only just taken his very first step.

If Long Kui were to awaken.

It was hard to guarantee that no accident might occur.

After unsealing the demon sword, a large amount of villain points still remained.

The upcoming North Shaolin Assembly might mean facing the Sweeping Monk.

He needed strength as his guarantee.

Gu Gu Hanyuan raised his cultivation base from Mid Grandmaster Stage to Peak Grandmaster.

"Sheng Ling Jian Fa," "Mo Ming Jian Fa," "Three-Fold Return to Origin," and his fists, palms, legs, and fingers.

All his primary techniques had been raised to the Great Completion realm.

The might of "Sheng Ling Jian Fa" had indeed risen considerably.

But "Heaven and Earth Sword Twenty-Three of Emotion" was, as expected, still stuck at the final threshold.

Gu Gu Hanyuan smiled faintly.

Perhaps even the system didn't consider him a man of emotion.

The tenth stance of "Mo Ming Jian Fa," "Grievance Unnamed," had gained some ground at last.

As expected, the path he comprehended differed from that of Wuming.

As for his other techniques, their might had likewise risen.

The artistic conception carried within his techniques had likewise deepened considerably.

Those with insufficient cultivation base would be easily affected.

The villain points he had accumulated over so long were, in a single morning, back to square one.

Gu Gu Hanyuan's strength had likewise risen by a great margin.

Next, he had to make some preparations for the approaching North North Shaolin Assembly.

First, he confirmed that Ren Ren Yingying had already been captured by North North Shaolin.

He is currently under house arrest at South North Shaolin.

Ren Ren Yingying's subordinates also began calling on friends and allies to gather.

If nothing unexpected happens, they will assemble at Five Hegemons' Hill.

Once enough people have gathered, they will storm South North Shaolin.

The relationship between the Beigai Gang and South North Shaolin has been deteriorating lately.

Because of the deaths of Master Zhiguang and others.

Both sides are accusing each other.

It has already reached a breaking point.

Conflict could erupt at any moment.

Gu Gu Hanyuan decided to add fuel to the fire.

Besides this, Wu Wu Xingyun of Mount Tianshan has already begun dispersing her cultivation.

It just hasn't become known to the people of the Thirty-Six Caves and Seventy-Two Islands yet.

The news could be spread.

To lure them to Jiugong to probe.

After Gu Gu Hanyuan made his decision.

"Go" — Sword Flight to Xinyang.

The residence of Ma Dayuan's widow, Lady Ma — Kang Min — is in Xinyang.

Kang Min has not gone out lately.

She has been maintaining the persona of a chaste widow mourning Ma Dayuan.

At this moment, Kang Min was gazing at her reflection in the mirror, pitying herself.

She had failed to ruin Xiao Feng's reputation.

To avenge the slight of being ignored back then.

This had left her in a foul mood lately.

And what was even more infuriating was that another person had joined the ranks of those who ignored her beauty.

Namely Gu Gu Hanyuan, who had shown his might in Apricot Grove.

Gu Gu Hanyuan was younger and more handsome than Xiao Feng.

His martial arts were even stronger than Xiao Feng's.

And now his fame was even greater.

Although Gu Gu Hanyuan caused her plot to frame Xiao Feng to fall through.

She didn't care about that at all.
