King of Assassins-Chapter 761 - 561 God_2

Back in the room, Jiang Xuejun couldn't wait to ask, "Aunt Yue, has Gao Xuan arrived?"

"Yes."

Wei Yue wasn't sure where Jiang Xuejun got her information, but since she asked, there was no need to hide it.

"Why is he, here?" Jiang Xuejun calmed down, refraining from calling Gao Xuan's name.

Even though Wei Yue's room had an extremely high level of secrecy, capable of isolating Source Power, it wasn't appropriate to address Gao Xuan so directly.

Wei Yue smiled wryly, "I really don't know what he wants to do."

Jiang Xuejun nodded in understanding. Gao Xuan had always been like that—never consulting others and acting on his own. She was well aware of this trait.

"So he went out with Sister Yin?" Jiang Xuejun asked again.

"Yes, so you'd better go over tomorrow."

Wei Yue suggested, "I think he doesn't want others to know his whereabouts."

Jiang Xuejun glanced at Wei Yue but couldn't read anything from her expression. However, Wei Yue would never mislead her. This reminder must be well-intentioned.

"Alright, I'll go find him tomorrow."

Jiang Xuejun didn't stand on ceremony and stayed at Yuanlong Mansion with some trusted subordinates.

It wasn't until the next day at noon that Jiang Xuejun went to Mingjing University herself.

By Songyun Lake, Jiang Xuejun saw Gao Xuan.

Gao Xuan was wearing a grey and white casual outfit, sunglasses, and sat alone on a bench by the lake, gazing thoughtfully at the golden shimmering water.

It was spring, with green grass and gentle breezes everywhere, exuding a fresh breath of life.

Originally filled with concerns, Jiang Xuejun felt relaxed seeing Gao Xuan in such a state.

After more than twenty years, Gao Xuan was still that extraordinarily graceful young man.

Jiang Xuejun stared at Gao Xuan in a daze, her thoughts drifting back over twenty years to the sweet and joyous times she spent with him.

Gao Xuan also noticed Jiang Xuejun and waved to her, "Come over and sit down."

Jiang Xuejun walked over and sat beside Gao Xuan. She had many questions but didn't know how to start.

It felt too sentimental to discuss past affairs after such a long time apart.

Yet, avoiding official matters left little personal space of interest.

Jiang Xuejun hesitated, but Gao Xuan smiled, "I remember you scolding me before, calling me a low-born brat."

This made Jiang Xuejun quite embarrassed; her face turned red, "I didn't."

"You certainly did."

Gao Xuan spoke slowly, "At that time, I thought, I'd make sure to crush you thoroughly. Hahaha..."

Jiang Xuejun's face turned even redder.

Gao Xuan held Jiang Xuejun's fair hand, "Back then, you were naive, and I was somewhat wicked. In hindsight, it was still quite amusing. That was our youth..."

Gao Xuan was somewhat nostalgic. Even though he lived again, those days at Mingjing still held some reckless memories.

Back then, his state was unstable due to being reborn and influenced by the Celestial Dragon Eye.

However, these were colorful parts of life. Even tinged with absurdity, they held unique beauty, an indelible mark.

Because of these memories, his life felt complete.

Gao Xuan, due to being injured, found his emotions more relaxed instead.

Jiang Xuejun, initially flustered and uneasy, felt at ease as Gao Xuan held her hand.

She also understood that Gao Xuan wasn't mocking her; he was reminiscing about their youth.

"I remember saying at the Sword Washing Studio, when the Four Saints first gathered, the Grandmaster recognized talent."

Gao Xuan smiled, "You're only Level 13, not working hard enough. Now it's just you left."

Jiang Xuejun's face flushed again; indeed, she wasn't diligent enough. Returning to Pegasus Star, she further lost her motivation.

"I can't boast, can I?"

Gao Xuan thought a moment, "I'll give you a hand. It'd be easier to speak to Master Fang Zheng that way."

Jiang Xuejun was surprised; based on Gao Xuan's words, he intended to help her directly ascend to the Golden level.

However, Golden Powerhouses achieved that through personal effort; external forces couldn't affect them. This was a common understanding in the Alliance.

If Golden Powerhouses could be forcibly created, it would drastically affect the Alliance. Noble Families would entirely monopolize it, allowing no grassroots Golden Powerhouses.

If Gao Xuan could truly achieve this, its significance would be enormous.

As Jiang Xuejun was pondering, the world suddenly flipped upside down, and she found herself in another space. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

Looking around, a deep, dark void stretched endlessly, with faint spots of light in the distance, barely discernible.

Jiang Xuejun immediately felt intense discomfort; there was no oxygen, yet Source Power was incredibly dense. Her Biochemical Battle Armor quickly surfaced.

Gao Xuan paid these no mind, touching Jiang Xuejun's forehead with his finger, embedding a Law Metal into her Divine Soul.

The Law Metal bore a thread of his Sword Intent—that of the Vermilion Bird Separation Flame, highly compatible with Jiang Xuejun's Divine Soul attribute.

After the great battle with King Zhuanlun in the Netherworld Realm and gaining valuable memory fragments from Old Turtle, Gao Xuan's cultivation advanced greatly.

He was only a rank below Ksitigarbha King, which was why he was gravely injured by a single palm strike.

Even in that gravely injured state, Gao Xuan's insight and knowledge far exceeded the Alliance's Golden Powerhouses.

With the Law Metal, creating a Golden Powerhouse wasn't too difficult.

Jiang Xuejun had strong Divine Soul Power, and being young, she could bear such tremendous changes.

The most challenging part of becoming a Golden Powerhouse was condensing the Spirit Core, which couldn't rely on external help.

But the Law Metal could directly form the core, bypassing that difficulty. At the Source Power level, directly unlocking Source Power nodes sufficed.

For Gao Xuan, it was a mere trivial effort.

But for Jiang Xuejun, it was an earth-shaking transformation. After a long time, she finally acclimated to her Spiritual Core, mastering the powerful Golden Power.

Gao Xuan saw Jiang Xuejun's awkwardness and knew she hadn't yet adapted to the Golden Level power.

It was normal; a hundredfold increase in power couldn't be adjusted to immediately. Moreover, it wasn't just a power increase.

Becoming a Golden Saint represents a significant leap in life level. It's a comprehensive, multi-level transformation from the inside out.

"Help to the end..."

Gao Xuan touched Jiang Xuejun's forehead, connecting with her consciousness, establishing a fantastical dream realm.

Within the dream realm, Jiang Xuejun could manifest all her abilities.

Gao Xuan simulated some monstrous opponents, battling alongside Jiang Xuejun to help her quickly master her entire power.

This kind of dream realm had a time flow ten thousand times different from the outside world.

After just two hours of training, when Jiang Xuejun's consciousness returned, she had become a Golden Powerhouse who had fought a hundred battles.

Jiang Xuejun just wanted to ask something when the world flipped again, and she found herself back on the bench.

The sun in the sky was tilting westward; it was already four in the afternoon.

Jiang Xuejun tried to circulate Source Power, and despite the Pegasus Star Source Power Law's constraints, her body, Source Power, and Spiritual Power were immensely heightened.

Only then did she confirm she had really become a Golden Powerhouse. Hmm, it was as if she had slept, and then became like this.

Gao Xuan thought for a moment, "Send the Buddha all the way to the west. I still have a Flame Sword, Golden Level."

He then handed Jiang Xuejun a crimson Sword Artifact.

Jiang Xuejun took it somewhat embarrassedly, "I don't deserve such a good Sword Artifact."

"I have hundreds of such Sword Artifacts. No need for formalities."

Gao Xuan collected those Golden Marvels, most of which were useless. He originally planned to feed the Celestial Spirit Sword Box, but in the Otherworld, it was ineffective, so he couldn't be bothered.

Jiang Xuejun's Spiritual Power resonated with the Flame Sword instantly, sensing its strong and violent Fire Elemental Source Power. Indeed, a Golden Sword Artifact!

She was delighted yet felt a little uneasy, realizing the gap between her and the near-divine Gao Xuan, who easily made her a Golden Powerhouse and gave her such a mighty Golden Sword Artifact.

Such a powerful Gao Xuan seemed so distant, invoking in her a strong reverence.

Jiang Xuejun said complexly, "You seem omnipotent, like a divine being now!"

"Good eye, I am God. Hahahaha..."

Gao Xuan laughed heartily, then said to Jiang Xuejun, "So, how are you going to thank me?"

Jiang Xuejun was stunned.

"You're not thinking of taking this for free, are you?"

Gao Xuan chuckled slyly, "That won't do. No money? Then pay with your body..."

Seeing Gao Xuan like this, Jiang Xuejun felt relieved. Yes, this was the Gao Xuan she knew!
