Chapter 258 - 250: Lu Yuan Dao Danyang Sect
In this period of time,
Gu Zhan has been staying in the Beidou Bang’s Inheritance Pavilion, mainly browsing Beidou Bang’s archive library, and then selected these seven martial arts, all of which are Earth Tier Upper Grade martial arts.
Beidou Bang’s collection of martial arts is quite numerous,
However, reaching Earth Tier Upper Grade, no matter where it’s placed, is extremely profound martial arts, so even for a top-tier force like Beidou Bang, there are only twenty or thirty volumes.
Among these twenty or thirty volumes, after careful consideration, he chose these seven martial arts; others he wanted, like the Creation Golden Body kind of Horizontal Hard Qi Cultivation, but they were not available in Beidou Bang.
However, having these seven is already satisfactory,
If he can cultivate all these seven Earth Tier Upper Grade martial arts to Great Success, he could basically be called all-around and flawless.
When leaving the Inheritance Pavilion,
Gu Zhan summoned the system to start allocating points and directly cultivated all seven martial arts to Entry Realm:
Player: Gu Zhan
Realm: Dao Entry Realm
Cultivation Technique: Profound Yang Skill (Eleventh Floor 0/1 billion)
Skill:
Netherworld King’s Array-breaking Saber (Great Success)
Water Manipulation Skill (Entry Level 0/30 million)

Celestial Imprisoning Leg (Entry Level 0/1.5 million)
Silent Extinction Divine Finger (Entry Level 0/1.5 million)
Lingyun Soar (Entry Level 0/1.5 million)
Experience Points: 2900541
...
Gu Zhan looked at the system page,
Feeling a sense of emotion in his heart, no wonder ordinary people find it hard to make a name for themselves; with this kind of foundation, no matter how hard ordinary people strive, they can’t accumulate it.
If he weren’t cheating,
For an ordinary person to grow to this level and receive the key cultivation from Beidou Bang, it might be impossible even to strive for a hundred years; moreover, even if he’s cheating, the past gains aren’t as significant as entering the Beidou Bang’s Inheritance Pavilion once.
This world is just so unfair,
Many people have to struggle for generations without reaching others’ starting points,
But you should know,
Even Beidou Bang is merely a gang founded just decades ago; to have such a foundation, those ancient noble families and sects with thousands of years of heritage must have an extremely terrifying foundation.
Just as Gu Zhan was lamenting,
A group of people approached from the front, led by Yun Huai, the only son of Yun Wei. He was very humble, respectfully saluting, saying, "Squad Leader Gu, I am here on my father’s orders to wait for you. He said once you come out of retreat, you should visit him; he has some things to discuss with you."
Gu Zhan nodded and immediately followed Yun Huai away.
Soon, Yun Huai led Gu Zhan into a large courtyard and entered a study room.
At this moment, Yun Wei was reviewing a stack of documents. Upon seeing Gu Zhan enter, he smiled slightly and said, "You’ve come; how was it these days in the Inheritance Pavilion, any gains?"
Gu Zhan nodded and said, "Yes, it made me realize that I am just a frog at the bottom of the well, the world is vast beyond imagination."
Yun Wei chuckled and said, "You are quite candid, but it’s not entirely true. With your talent and strength, no matter how vast the world, you have the opportunity to gain a comprehensive view."
As he spoke,
Yun Wei stood up and took a knife from a rack. The knife was about four feet long, with a width of one and a half inches, entirely bright and almost transparent, with a slightly slanted tip, resembling a Horizontal Saber, but shorter, and the body was thicker than a Horizontal Saber.
Yun Wei lightly shook it, causing a chill to fill the room, the knife light swirling, murderous aura rising.
He slowly said, "This knife is named Jade Bone, crafted using the bones of an exotic beast by a famous craftsman several hundred years ago, mixed with special materials, making it a rare renowned knife.
Over the centuries, it has changed hands many times. Forty years ago, it fell into the hands of a Grandmaster. Later, defeated in a battle against the Dragon King, the Grandmaster abandoned this knife to escape, and the knife was retrieved by the Dragon King and left in the Beidou Bang’s warehouse.
I thought you were skilled with sabers but never had a suitable one. A few days ago, I went to the warehouse to find this for you. Although for powerful Martial Arts cultivators, weapons add limited enhancement to strength, it is better than losing your weapon mid-battle, which would put you at a disadvantage."
Yun Wei placed the knife back into its scabbard and handed it over to Gu Zhan, then poured Gu Zhan a cup of tea, sitting beside him, "As for cultivation resources, I cannot directly give them to you. Though Beidou Bang will lean resources towards you, it’s such a large gang, we can’t blatantly give them away without following rules.
I am giving you Divine Technique to let you freely choose secret manuals in the Inheritance Pavilion, which is already the maximum limit. Given my merit, others may have opinions but can’t voice them; however, if spirit medicine or elixir and Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures resources are given directly, I dare not account for it.
But you needn’t worry; you are about to head to Great Desert City to join the orthodox and demon war. The Dragon King will be there, he will look after you, and you only need to gain experience there. Once you return after the war, you will be appointed as a real power elder at headquarters, and then you can rightly use resources."
Gu Zhan smiled slightly, cupping his hands in thanks, "Thank you, Cloud Protector, what you’ve given me is already enough. Honestly speaking, since my debut, I have never enjoyed such treatment as now. As for resources, you needn’t worry, I will find a way myself."
Of course, Gu Zhan left one sentence unsaid,
Going to the orthodox and demon war is the greatest resource given to him.
Yun Wei did not say more but instead changed the subject, "Calling you here today is for another matter. Recently, the curtain of the orthodox and demon war has been drawn, and within three months, it will fully explode. Nowadays, the Yunxi Martial World is heading to Great Desert City.
Our Beidou Bang leads the Canglan Martial World for alliance, initially planned for you to lead the team. But since you’ve been in the Inheritance Pavilion these days, I’ve arranged for two other Sub-Branch Leaders to set off first, and you are responsible for rear guard.
Pack up and you can depart for Great Desert City tomorrow; as for Canglan City here, I will be stationed, so you can relax regarding Kaiyang Sub-Branch, meanwhile, Pingyang Gu Family is rapidly developing; you needn’t worry."
Gu Zhan nodded.
Yun Wei continued, "By the way, this time, you have made plenty of enemies in Canglan City, especially offending a line led by the Liu Family. Originally, the Tian Family and Gu Family and the Sixth Young Master were due for reckoning, but the Liu Family’s experts directly cut off all ties and abandoned all bases in Canglan Dao, fleeing to Lu Yuan Dao Danyang Sect,
You have to be careful, open spears are easy to dodge, hidden arrows are hard to guard against. Moreover, though the Danyang Sect is not one of the top five forces, besides the Dragon King, their comprehensive strength is about equal to ours at Beidou Bang."
