"Let's head back." Gu Sheng sheathed the Mystical Sky Sword and spoke to the Yaochi Saintess.
The Yaochi Saintess nodded. The two departed from Sky Sword Mountain and returned to the Yaochi Palace. Sitting across from one another, the Yaochi Saintess gazed at Gu Sheng with curiosity sparkling in her eyes.
"Gu Sheng, how did you manage to upgrade the Mystical Sky Sword?" she couldn't help but ask.
Gu Sheng smiled faintly and began recounting his experiences at Duo Ri Ridge, explaining how he harnessed the pure yang energy and dragon aura found there to refine the Mystical Sky Sword.
The Yaochi Saintess listened intently, her admiration for Gu Sheng growing even deeper.
The two talked for a long time, only retiring to their rooms to rest as night fell.
Having not seen Su Ling for a long while, Gu Sheng decided to visit the Heavenly Dao Sect to see her.
The next day, as Gu Sheng was preparing to head out, he coincidentally ran into Ji Yewei.
The two journeyed together.
