Chapter 315: Chapter 146 Five Tigers Breaking Gate Saber Transformation (Seeking Subscriptions)_3

For the two most important men in her life, she mustered the strength to improve herself, unwilling to hold Xu Qing back.

...

Xu Qing finished his secret meeting with Su Lianqing and returned to the Wutong Courtyard.

He gave a slight bow to the Old Wutong Tree.

Had it not been for Brother Tree, he feared he would have had to evade Yan Kong’s sharp edge for the time being.

Fortunately, after this battle, Xu Qing gained new insights into his Martial Arts. His Five Tigers Breaking Gate Saber was finally ready for a crucial transformation.

Next, he planned to integrate the Golden Light Spell with the Five Tigers Breaking Gate Saber Technique.

At its root, the Five Tigers Breaking Gate Saber contains the profound principles of the Five Elements from the Taoists of Laoshan Shangqing Palace, which resonates with the fundamental Thunder Skill of the Golden Light Spell.

Xu Qing still lacked one key element to fully cultivate the Thunder Skill of the Golden Light Spell—a solid foundation in the Thunder Skill of Daoism.

He didn’t have a good opportunity for that right now.

So he had to settle for the next best thing.

Using the Five Tigers Breaking Gate Saber as a medium for the Thunder Skill.

Xu Qing practiced the Five Tigers Breaking Gate Saber Technique in the courtyard, his body continuously producing Thunder Sound, which he channeled into the saber, causing it to resonate.

Time passed without knowing how long it had been.

When Xu Qing struck with his saber, a faint electric light flickered upon it.

He stood with his saber sheathed.

The prolonged exposure to the Thunder Sound also allowed some degree of recovery from his injuries.

The life-and-death battle with the red-haired man provided Xu Qing with invaluable Martial Arts experience.

Indeed, for Martial Artists, every life-and-death encounter could stimulate the outburst of their life force, propelling them forward.

"It’s a pity, the Feather Robe Blade is only a sharp weapon, not a Magic Artifact. It falls short compared to the Peach Wood Sword."

Firstly, the Peach Wood Sword is, in fact, a sword, and being wooden, it is unsuitable for close combat saber techniques. Moreover, the Peach Wood Sword has cracks, making it more suitable for sneak attacks right now.

Unless bolstered by the Divine Soul of the Old Wutong Tree, releasing sword aura.

But with the Divine Soul of the Old Wutong Tree, the techniques used become irrelevant; it can directly unleash the power of thunder within.

The Thunder Sound Sword Evil thus unleashed is enough to deter ghosts and gods!

Xu Qing couldn’t help but think of Gu Wuji’s Wuji Saber.

That was a Magic Saber on par with the Peach Wood Sword, perhaps even superior in terms of integrity.

If he managed to acquire the Wuji Saber, his Five Tigers Breaking Gate Saber Technique could completely transform into the Five Thunder Wuji Blade he envisioned.

The saber aura it emitted would absolutely possess the force of Thunder Skill, greatly restraining Dao Skill Practitioners and all sorts of Evil Demons.

...

The Gu Wuji that Xu Qing was mindful of was currently meeting with Yan Fu, the steward from Duke Wei Mansion.

"Mr. Yan, what brings you to seek me out?" Gu Wuji inquired.

Yan Fu stated his purpose.

It turned out that Duke Wei intended to invite him and the Giant Whale Gang to take a sea voyage in a month’s time.

Gu Wuji’s brows furrowed.

Seeing his hesitation, Yan Fu said: "Duke Wei is aware that Sect Leader Gu came to the Southern region to expand the True Gang Sect. Now is an excellent opportunity. Duke Wei hopes Sect Leader Gu can help him firmly control the Giant Whale Gang. If successful, Sect Leader Gu could also acquire a share of the Gang’s power to grow the True Gang Sect."

Yan Fu’s proposition was hard for Gu Wuji to ignore.

He was also a master in Refining Internal, and when he saw how the old fox Ren Tianyou, as a Gang Leader, commanded the seas with thousands of followers, then looked at his own handful of sycophantic disciples, the disparity was glaring.

His current state was a disgrace to the ancestors of the True Gang Sect, even embarrassing the roots of the Quanzhen Dao.

Could descendants of the world’s foremost sect end up in such straits?

He’d be too ashamed to meet the Ancestor of Quanzhen, even in death.

Then there’s Li Wendding from the neighboring Dragon Gate Sect, who had become a Governor.

Comparing oneself to others could be such misery!

In truth, the True Gang Sect and the Dragon Gate Sect could be considered old acquaintances, but the gap was too vast, and Gu Wuji felt too embarrassed to even make an appearance.

Now, the stature of the True Gang Sect wasn’t even on par with the Dragon Gate Escort Agency built from the grassroots efforts of the Great Zen Temple.

Not long ago, when Gu Wuji had drinks with Huang Tianhu, the Head of Escort from Dragon Gate Escort Agency, the latter’s generosity was undeniable.

It had to be said, the Great Zen Temple knew how to conduct itself with worldly society flair.

In the battle at the Golden Ray Monastery, Huang Tianhu offered a helping hand to Yan Kong, but when in Yingtian Prefecture, he regarded Gu Wuji with utmost respect.

Such grandeur from a mere secular disciple, let alone the Abbott Xiong Chan from the Great Zen Temple, he couldn’t begin to imagine what kind of person he was.

Xiong Chan was also a prodigy who had achieved a lot in Martial Arts during his youth, and now is one of the notable Martial Arts Grandmasters of his time. With no Martial Saint in sight, whether Divine Soul Experts or Martial Arts Masters, it was probably hard for anyone to surmount the peak that was Xiong Chan.

In the worldly society, Xiong Chan’s reputation as the World-saving Vajra eclipsed his fame in the Buddhist sect many times over.

Even Gu Wuji had to sincerely acknowledge Xiong Chan’s prowess, far beyond the reach of leaders from the Giant Whale Gang, Sea Sand Gang, etc.

Born between heaven and earth, how could a man of honor linger beneath others?

Gu Wuji, upon this thought, said: "What does the Duke require of me?"

"This sea voyage aims to deal with King Lin Tian of East Island. I will accompany Sect Leader Gu along with the five elders of Zhong Mountain. During that time, both the Giant Whale Gang and Sea Sand Gang will join forces to pressure King Lin Tian into a decisive battle. However, Ren Tianyou is a man of hidden maliciousness. He claims to be loyal but harbors deceit; Duke Wei needs Sect Leader Gu to watch him closely and prevent him from deceiving us," Yan Fu explained.

Gu Wuji nodded and then asked, "I’ve heard that Yingtian is conducting land surveyance recently. Isn’t Duke Wei concerned with this matter?"

With a smile, Yan Fu replied, "Once matters of the sea are resolved, land surveyance will be trivial in comparison."

Gu Wuji thought it made sense. He knew the benefits of maritime trade were vast, far outweighing the taxes from lands.

The potential profits were truly mountainous and oceanic.

...

In the middle of the East Sea, a red-haired man appeared on the flagship of the Giant Whale Gang.

The Gang Leader Ren Tianyou was terrified, sensing an extreme and dangerous aura.
