In Emei, start by obtaining golden attributes.

Chapter 215 Your life and death are in my hands (Third update)
I thought that getting the orange-level "Indestructible" attribute was already incredibly lucky.

Unexpectedly, after stepping into the Condensation of Qi and Formation of Qi this time, the talent attribute was also orange.

And it's an entry with the phrase "immovable as a mountain".

The effects of its entries are also quite unique.

When Gu Shaoan focuses his mind on his dantian, calms his spirit, and concentrates on dealing with any form of external impact or invasion, he can actively activate the effect of the "Immovable as a Mountain" attribute, which is then applied to his body by the force of the earth.

Under the influence of the earth's power, Gu Shaoan himself was able to enter a special state of immovable "power".

Not only can his five senses be enhanced, but the force of an enemy's attack can also be drawn into his body by Gu Shaoan's "immovable as a mountain" momentum, like a dark spring flowing into the belly of a mountain, naturally guided and deflected into the vast and boundless earth beneath his feet.

Secondly, this "mountainous terrain" affects not only the body but also the mind.

With this immovable mountain-like presence, when Gu Shaoan faced soul-stirring and mind-controlling mental attacks or overwhelming pressure, it was like a gentle breeze brushing against a smooth and hard mountain wall, leaving no trace.

The only drawback is that it needs to be in contact with the ground.

Once the object leaves the ground and is suspended in the air, the "immovable as a mountain" state is automatically released.

If that's the case, that's it.

The reason Gu Shaoan reacted so strongly was that the effects of the "Immovable as a Mountain" and "Indestructible" attributes complemented each other.

Gu Shaoan himself possesses both the hardness of diamond and the weight of mountains.

When faced with enemy attacks, the outer layer is covered with exceptionally tough and resilient internal energy, which provides initial resistance due to the powerful and fierce nature of the "Indestructible Vajra".

After penetrating the protective aura shield, the invading force can be diverted by Gu Shaoan using the effect of the "Immovable as a Mountain" attribute, and poured into the ground around him.

This ensures that when the opponent's attack lands on you, less than one in ten survives.

Unless the opponent's attack is powerful enough to break through Gu Shaoan's defenses instantly, leaving him no chance to use the "Immovable as a Mountain" skill.

Otherwise, with his current cultivation level of Qi Condensation to Qi Formation, coupled with the defensive system enhanced by the two orange attributes of [Indestructible Vajra] and [Immovable as a Mountain], if the opponent is only a martial artist at the Qi Condensation to Qi Formation realm, even if the opponent is one of the best in this realm, Gu Shaoan can remain unmoved under a full-force attack.

If Gu Shaoan could also cultivate the "Indestructible Vajra Divine Skill" to its highest level.

With Gu Shaoan's current 85 years of internal energy, combined with the "Indestructible Vajra Divine Skill," plus the entries for "Indestructible Vajra" and "Immovable as a Mountain," he could achieve great success.

That effect.
It can be said that below the Celestial Realm, no one can break through Gu Shaoan's defenses.

Gu Shaoan shook his head at this: "Is this considered the thickest armor?"

At this moment, Gu Shaoan thought of Pang Ban.

The martial arts of the Demon Master's Palace are most adept at manipulating objects with spiritual power.

In particular, the "Dao Xin Seed Demon Great Method" allows one to influence others with one's spiritual energy through every action and even a glance.

The effect of the "Immovable as a Mountain" attribute is precisely what counters martial arts that rely primarily on spiritual energy.

Thinking of this, Gu Shaoan's eyelids twitched.

"The mage's luck seems to be a bit off!"

If Gu Shaoan had previously harbored some apprehension towards the Demon Master Pang Ban, then...

Now that Gu Shaoan has obtained the entry for "Immovable as a Mountain," all his fears have vanished completely.

Given Gu Shaoan's current strength and the effects of the various attributes, it's hard to say who would win against someone like Lang Fanyun, Li Xunhuan, or even other martial artists who have reached the Qi Condensation stage.

Only when facing the Demon Master Pang Ban can one maximize their chances of winning.

Forget it.

The key is.

Gu Shaoan still has a few handfuls of Tianxiang Doukou in his possession.

"If we then pop a few cardamom pods into our mouths..."

As soon as the thought crossed his mind, Gu Shaoan couldn't help but shake his head.

Just thinking about it, even Gu Shaoan himself felt it was a bit excessive.

That's a bit too much.

It's a complete counter!
Suddenly, Gu Shaoan felt a surge of anticipation for Pang Ban's arrival.

As Gu Shaoan's thoughts were flowing, as if he had sensed something, he suddenly turned to look at the direction of the back mountain entrance.

Under the moonlight, a figure was seen "gliding" into the back mountain area in an incredible way.

The newcomer moved with incredible speed, but not with brute force. His movements were strange and light. His toes barely touched the rocks and grass, and his body was like a weightless willow catkin, or a ghost that blended into the night, drifting and turning with the wind.

Each touch of the ground was so faint as to barely cause a ripple, leaving a trace as faint as a feather and without making a sound.

The strangest thing is that when this person moved quickly, not even a gust of wind was stirred up.

It should be understood that even if a martial artist has mastered the art of lightness skill to its highest level, they will inevitably generate some gust of wind when moving.

It's just a matter of more or less.

However, in Gu Shaoan's perception, the figure that suddenly entered the back mountain moved so quickly that it did not stir up the slightest bit of wind.

Gu Shaoan was able to detect the other party's presence entirely because he sensed the fluctuation of the other party's internal energy.

If it were during the Qi Condensation stage, it would be extremely difficult to detect the other party's presence at such a great distance.

The next second, as the person approached...

Using the moonlight that streamed into the back mountain, Gu Shaoan also noticed why the person moving around him didn't create the slightest ripple.

The reason was that the person was covered by some kind of spiritual energy when he moved.

It was also because of the influence of these peculiar elements that the person did not cause any fluctuations around him when he moved quickly.

As his gaze fell upon the figure in the distance, Gu Shaoan's inner energy quietly began to circulate, gathering momentum for unleashing its power.

The latter was completely unaware of Gu Shaoan's presence. He moved like the wind and quietly entered the back mountain, until he flashed to the top of the pavilion.

Li Chimei's sharp gaze, like a knife, silently swept over the scattered courtyards in the back mountain.

The moonlight shone on his face, making his thoughtful expression particularly clear.

"We've traveled all the way from the Great Yuan Kingdom to Mount Emei. It would be a waste if we just ended it hastily."

"Which courtyard should we start with?"

A few breaths later, Li Chimei seemed to have made a decision.

"Let's start with these few who have the most composed auras!"

As she spoke, Li Chimei's gaze slowly turned to the courtyard where Abbess Miejue and the others were.

Sensing the three fluctuations of true energy emanating from the courtyard, Li Chimei's lips curled into a smile.

However, coupled with the obvious excitement in Li Chimei's eyes and the cold, gloomy aura surrounding her, Li Chimei's expression at this moment gave people a sense of sinister cruelty.

"Tsk~"

At that moment, a very faint sound suddenly entered Li Chimei's ears.

The moment she noticed the sound, the excitement on Li Chimei's face abruptly vanished. The next instant, Li Chimei abruptly looked up, gazing towards the bamboo forest not far away, following the source of the sound.

The cool moonlight, like a waterfall, cascaded down onto the top of a particularly green and upright bamboo.

Atop the bamboo shoots, a figure stands tall and imposing.

The man had a handsome and refined face, with slanted eyebrows that swept into his temples, a straight nose, and well-defined lips. His eyes, in particular, were deep and calm.

The night breeze blew, causing her clothes to flutter, further enhancing her sense of unparalleled independence and ethereal beauty.

Looking at Gu Shaoan, who stood above the bamboo forest with his eyes lowered like an immortal, a hint of surprise flashed in Li Chimei's eyes.

When her gaze fell on the Heaven-Slaying Sword held in Gu Shaoan's left hand, Li Chimei's eyes flashed, and the solemnity in her heart dissipated.

With a light laugh, Li Chimei's figure swayed, leaving an afterimage in her original position before she rose silently from the ground like the swiftest and coldest wind.

His movements were even more unpredictable and agile than what Gu Shaoan had just witnessed.

He lightly touched the tops of several staggered green bamboos for support, and each touch only caused the bamboo tips to bend slightly before returning to their original shape. In the blink of an eye, he was already several feet away from Gu Shaoan, standing steadily on the top of a slender bamboo tip.

The two faced each other across the bamboo forest under the moonlight, with the sleeping Emei Academy in the distance and the rustling bamboo all around.

A mountain breeze swept by, and among the scents that reached my nose, besides the coolness of the night wind and the fragrance of bamboo in this bamboo forest, there was also a slightly incongruous smell of rouge.

Gu Shaoan's gaze fell on the man whose eyes were as sinister as a venomous snake. Thinking of the Great Yuan Kingdom that the man had mentioned earlier, and looking at his appearance and the ghostly lightness skill he had just used, how could Gu Shaoan not guess the man's identity?

A few breaths later, Gu Shaoan's voice slowly rang out.

The sound wasn't loud, but it was exceptionally clear under the silent night sky, each word like a pebble thrown into an ancient well.

"The moon is bright and the wind is gentle, the bamboo forest is swaying. I never expected that in the dead of night, Li Chimei, one of the three great masters of the Great Yuan Kingdom, would come to my Mount Emei."

When he mentioned the word "transvestite," Gu Shaoan's tone paused instinctively.

After all, in Gu Shaoan's mind, this word was not a good one.

However, their gaze fell upon Li Chimei on the opposite side.

Looking at Li Chimei, who exudes both feminine beauty and an eerie aura, the strange feeling that Gu Shaoan had when he mentioned "transvestite" instantly vanished.

After all, it's just telling the truth.

Li Chimei, unaware of Gu Shaoan's thoughts, also fixed her gaze on Gu Shaoan.

After her gaze lingered briefly on Gu Shaoan's face, Li Chimei nodded and said, "Not bad! Just as the rumors say, in terms of appearance alone, he is comparable to me."

It seemed that no one expected Li Chimei's first words to be like this.

Gu Shaoan looked at the other person's effeminate aura, opened his mouth, and then closed it again.

Suddenly, Gu Shaoan thought of Dongfang Bai.

If the two of them were to meet, it's hard to say whether they would become close friends.

At least in Gu Shaoan's view, the two should have a lot in common.

After suppressing the strange thought in his mind, Gu Shaoan said, "I thought that after Fang Yeyu's death, the Demon Master, who was Fang Yeyu's master, would come in person."

Seemingly confident, Li Chimei showed no murderous intent when facing Gu Shaoan.

In response to Gu Shaoan's question, Li Chimei replied, "At first, the Demon Master did want to come in person, but he suddenly changed his mind a few months ago."

Gu Shaoan raised an eyebrow and said, "May I ask why?"

Li Chimei shrugged and said, "You've stumped me. The old Demon Master has always been so fickle. He's often interested in a person or a thing one moment and then discards it like trash the next."

"We can't possibly fathom what's on his mind!"

Gu Shaoan asked, "So your purpose in coming here this time is to slaughter my entire Emei Sect?"

Li Chimei shook her head and said, "It's the Emei Sect other than you."

As she spoke, Li Chimei tidied her hair and continued, "After all, you killed Fang Yeyu. If I were to kill you directly, how could I appease the old Demon Master's resentment? Naturally, I would capture you and let the Demon Master deal with you personally."

Immediately afterwards, Li Chimei asked, "Do you also want to know if what we're doing will affect the relationship between the Great Yuan Kingdom and the Great Wei Kingdom?"

Gu Shaoan shook his head: "I understand that. The Emei Sect is only a second-rate force now, and it is not even worth mentioning in the entire Great Wei Kingdom."

"How can it be said to influence relations between the two countries?"

Upon hearing Gu Shaoan's words, a look of surprise flashed across Li Chimei's face.

"People in the Great Wei are often arrogant, but you are quite special."

Since she had someone investigate beforehand, Li Chimei naturally had some understanding of Gu Shaoan's situation.

He was not yet twenty when he killed Fang Yeyu on Bright Peak.

At such a young age, to have the strength to kill Fang Yeyu is enough to demonstrate Gu Shaoan's talent.

Even Li Chimei had to admit that, at the same age, his strength was no match for Gu Shaoan.

I originally thought that a young prodigy like Gu Shaoan must be arrogant and conceited.

I never expected him to be so lucid.

Gu Shaoan spoke again: "However, I am at least capable of killing Fang Yeyu. The Demon Master only arranged for you to come alone. Aren't you worried that you will also perish in this Great Wei Kingdom like Fang Yeyu?"

Li Chimei burst out laughing as if she had heard a funny joke.

However, due to the influence of his internal energy, only Gu Shaoan could hear the laughter.

After a long pause, Li Chimei, having finished laughing, looked at Gu Shaoan with a mocking expression and said, "Boy, now that you've guessed my identity, do you think I'm comparable to that brat Fang Yeyu?"

"To deal with you, it is already an honor for your Emei Sect that I have to take action personally."

Upon hearing the voice, Gu Shaoan understood that this time, the Demon Master Palace had only sent Li Chimei alone.

"That saves me a lot of trouble."

Having ascertained the number of enemies, Gu Shaoan felt reassured.

Immediately after thinking for a moment, Li Chimei said, "My first impression of you is not bad. I can consider giving you a choice."

"You can decide who dies first and who dies last among the people in these courtyards, how about that?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Shaoan shook his head in acknowledgment.

Li Chimei asked, "What? Don't want to choose? Then it will be my turn to choose in a moment, so don't regret it."

Gu Shaoan smiled.

"You can't decide life or death in the courtyard, but..."

At this point, Gu Shaoan's inner energy surged, and his figure moved like a dragon soaring through the air.

When he rushed to within a foot of Li Chimei, the rest of what he said finally reached Li Chimei's ears.

"Your life or death is in my hands."
