Supreme Sword Sovereign

"Ah-Sha..."

Suppressing the immense discomfort, Gu Han bit his tongue tip, his arm trembling as he reached out and touched Ah-Sha's shoulder.

"You... what's wrong..."

"Young Master."

Touched by Gu Han.

The faint glow in Ah-Sha's eyes vanished in an instant.

However, her gaze once again became hazy and vacant, as if the previous vivacity and liveliness had dissipated along with the glow.

"Young Master..."

A deep fatigue surfaced on her face, and she lay directly in Gu Han's arms.

"Ah-Sha is so tired..."

This is bad!

Hearing her address him,

A heavy feeling sank in Gu Han's heart.

Before he could finish,

Ah-Sha, just like before, fell into a deep sleep again.

"Kill me... please, I beg you..."

Nearby.

The man continued to plead desperately, his voice growing weaker and weaker.

Gu Han was furious.

"If it weren't for you, how could Ah-Sha have become like this again!"

"You want a swift death?"

"Impossible!"

With a cold glance at him, he picked up Ah-Sha and disappeared in an instant.

"Roar!"

Moments later.

Several roars erupted!

It was the nearby Demonic Beasts, drawn by the scent of blood, converging on this place.

His fate.

Needless to say.

...

"What did you say!"

Inside the consciousness space.

Shadow, after hearing Gu Han's story, stood up excitedly, his hands rubbing together non-stop.

"Good, good, good!"

"Unexpectedly, in this remote corner, one could encounter such a heaven-defying bloodline!"

"Ha ha ha! This is this lord's fortune, fortune indeed!"

"Bloodline?"

Gu Han frowned deeply.

"What bloodline!"

"Kid, you don't understand, do you?"

Shadow was still ecstatic.

"Do you think everyone in the world is like you, with such a worthless mortal body?"

"Heh, let me tell you the truth, there are countless geniuses in the world, like carps crossing the river, and among them, some awaken special constitutions or bloodlines in their youth, and these people are called geniuses among geniuses! As long as they grow up successfully and cultivate their constitution or bloodline to completion, they can at least become a hegemon in their own right!"

"And that little maid..."

He was somewhat envious.

"She has awakened the Eyes of Truth bloodline! Tsk tsk tsk, among the recognized top ten powerful bloodlines and constitutions, it can certainly claim a spot! As for her ability to see where spiritual herbs grow, that's just the most basic use, it is said that if the Eyes of Truth are cultivated to completion, one can see through past and future, and in battle, naturally stand on invincible ground!"

"On the contrary, you!"

He looked at Gu Han with disdain in his tone.

"A mere mortal body, yet you've taken a maid with the Eyes of Truth, tsk tsk tsk, what kind of dumb luck is that?"

"And you?"

Gu Han looked at him coldly.

"What kind of constitution or bloodline do you have?"

"This lord was born with the Indestructible Demon Body, although not as good as the Eyes of Truth, it can still rank in the top fifty, kid, you can't even envy it!"

"Is that so?"

Gu Han sneered.

"Then what about your demon body? How come only this remnant soul is left?"

"..."

Shadow was left speechless.

This little bastard might not be good at anything else, but his ability to hit where it hurts was truly masterful!

"Cough cough..."

Not daring to provoke Gu Han too much, he immediately changed the subject.

"You said earlier that her soul was damaged, and here lies the reason! The Dao is the fairest of all, the Eyes of Truth are so heaven-defying, if cultivated to completion, they are nearly invincible, but there's a fatal flaw! That is, each use consumes Soul Force! The stronger the bloodline, the greater the consumption!"

"In ancient times, there was a completed Eyes of Truth, invincible and nearly shattered half of the heavens and earth, but in the end, it mysteriously disappeared, presumably due to the exhaustion of Soul Force."

Gu Han instantly understood.

Ah-Sha's two periods of deep sleep.

It was because she was worried about him, so she subconsciously used the Eyes of Truth, leading to the loss of Soul Force.

"Kid."

After saying a lot, Shadow finally revealed his purpose.

"How about this, what if this lord takes that little maid as a disciple, rest assured, as this lord's disciple..."

"No way!"

Gu Han didn't even think about it, directly refusing.

"How about this, I'll trade you the Golden Seal, how about that?"

"I don't want it!"

"Don't be ungrateful! This Golden Seal is... cough cough, how about this, this time I truly swear by the Dao, as long as you release this lord and let her become my disciple, this lord will definitely do everything to cultivate her, and as for her problem of losing Soul Force, this lord will naturally find a solution, how about that?"

"So the oath you mentioned last time was a lie?"

Gu Han's expression turned sour.

"Sure enough, you're no good! Your words can't be trusted at all!"

"...That's not important, just tell me if you agree or not, do you know how many people are crying and begging to be taken under this lord's wing..."

"Goodbye!"

Gu Han couldn't be bothered with him, turning around and walking away.

"Wait for it!"

Seeing Gu Han disappear in an instant, Shadow cursed furiously.

"Sooner or later, I'll kill you!"

"This disciple, this lord has decided!"

...

Inside a hidden cave.

Gu Han slowly opened his eyes, glanced at Ah-Sha who had once again taken a medicinal pill and was sleeping soundly, and withdrew his thoughts, taking out his spoils of war.

Several Beast Cores.

Over three hundred Yuan Crystals.

In addition, there was a bottle of Gathering Spirit Pills to enhance cultivation and a bottle of Blood Nourishing Pills for healing.

They were the most basic of pills.

However.

From the storage bag of the man with the scar.

Gu Han found two spiritual herbs, although not as good as the Mysterious Ginseng, it was still a pleasant surprise.

In fact, scattered cultivators are mostly poor and often face various crises and disputes, using any resources they get to enhance their cultivation immediately, so naturally, they don't have much to offer.

Pouring the bottle of Gathering Spirit Pills directly into his mouth.

He grabbed several Yuan Crystals and began to absorb the spiritual energy within with all his might.

If others saw this.

They would naturally mock Gu Han for not knowing the danger.

Pills contain pill toxins.@@novelbin@@

Yuan Crystals contain impurities.

Therefore, ordinary cultivators are always cautious, refining slowly, and if someone like Gu Han absorbed everything without care, although it could temporarily improve their cultivation, in the long run, they would be corroded by impurities and pill toxins, making further progress impossible.

This principle.

Gu Han naturally understood.

But when he absorbed the Fierce Sun Fruit last time, he had already realized the uniqueness of his newly formed meridians.

Impurities?

Pill toxins?

...

Whatever it was.

After being washed by those small whirlpools, they would be completely expelled, leaving only the purest spiritual energy to reach his meridians!

Within the meridians.

Streams of pure spiritual energy continuously fell, becoming part of the spiritual liquid, flowing through the meridians ceaselessly.

The so-called Meridian Opening.

Is to thoroughly open all the meridians in the body.

The human body has twelve main meridians and three hundred and sixty branches, corresponding to the cycle of the heavens.

Therefore, although the human body is frail, it is naturally endowed by the Dao and is the easiest to cultivate, whether it be Demonic Beasts or other species, in the end, most choose to transform into human form, and that's the reason.

As one by one branch meridian was opened.

The Yuan Crystals on the ground visibly diminished.

Eighty-nine.

Ninety!

Suddenly.

Gu Han's aura quivered, and he stepped into the third level of Meridian Opening, and those Yuan Crystals, along with the two spiritual herbs, were completely consumed!

"Phew..."

He exhaled a breath of turbid air, then took out the Mysterious Ginseng, without a second thought, stuffed it into his mouth, chewed a few times, and swallowed!

In an instant!

A surge of spiritual energy much more vigorous than before filled his meridians!

The spiritual power provided by this single Mysterious Ginseng far exceeded all previous ones!

After a while.

He opened his eyes again.

His cultivation had reached the fourth level of Meridian Opening!

However.

He felt no joy.

The widening of meridians and the liquefaction of spiritual power brought extremely powerful combat strength, but the consumption that came with it was also ten times more than that of ordinary people, and as he progressed further, this consumption would become even more terrifying!

"Umm..."

At this moment.

Ah-Sha seemed to have finally had enough sleep, rubbing her eyes as she sat up.

"Young Master."

"Ah-Sha?"

Gu Han was delighted, no longer dwelling on the issue of resources.

"How are you feeling?"

"I slept so comfortably."

Ah-Sha's eyes regained their liveliness, but her spirits seemed somewhat dampened.

"But I had another dream."

"A dream?"

"Yes."

Ah-Sha stared straight at Gu Han.

"I dreamed again that I was taken away, but... I don't want to leave Young Master..."

"Ah-Sha."

Seeing her return to normal, Gu Han didn't think much of it, but his expression became serious.

"Tell me, what did you feel when you saw those people before?"

"They are all bad people!"

Ah-Sha huffed: "Just like Gu Commander, they all want to kill Young Master! I don't have cultivation, so I can't help Young Master fight, so I could only glare at them!"

"Young Master!"

At this point.

She became somewhat excited.

"I feel like I was useful..."

"Ah-Sha!"

Gu Han's expression suddenly turned solemn.

"Remember, you must never do this again, understand?"

"Why?"

"There's no why!"

Gu Han's tone became even more severe.

"Listen to me, you mustn't do it! Those people can't hurt me, let alone kill me! What you need to do is stand by and watch how I turn the tables on them, got it?"

"Yes."

Seeing Gu Han get angry with her for the first time, Ah-Sha instinctively nodded.

"I understand, Young Master."

"You've already helped me a lot."

Seeing her agree, Gu Han finally breathed a sigh of relief, his tone softening again, "The Mysterious Ginseng you helped me find has been a great help. Without it, my cultivation wouldn't have progressed so quickly."

"Young Master."

Ah-Sha's eyes lit up again.

"Then can I continue to help you find spiritual herbs?"

"That's fine."

"That's great, shall we go now?"

"Let's go now!"

Gu Han slowly stood up, a cold light flashing in his eyes.

"And... to kill!"

"To kill?"

"Father once said, those who kill must be killed! Now, many people in the Barbaric Wilderness Forest want my life! So I've decided... to take theirs first!"

...

Somewhere in the Barbaric Wilderness Forest.

A group of scattered cultivators, varying in cultivation from the first to the sixth level of Meridian Opening, had gathered together in hopes of earning a bounty.

"Bad luck! Not even a ghost's shadow found!"

"He wouldn't have heard the news and gone into hiding, would he? This area is so vast, where do we even start looking for him?"

"Ah! I told you those two thousand Yuan Crystals wouldn't be easy to earn!"

"We have to keep looking, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

"..."

The crowd discussed non-stop.

Suddenly.

A chilling voice came from not far away.

"I hear you're looking for me?"

Before the words fell.

A young man, carrying a cute little girl on his back and holding a broken sword, slowly approached the crowd.

It was Gu Han and Ah-Sha!
