Chapter 241: 241 Golden Court Cave

In the courtyard, Gu Yang was sitting on the ground, his hands clutching the Phoenix Feather Knife, continuously infusing it with mana.
Refining a peerless divine weapon, the first step was to erase the traces of previous owners that were left within it.
The previous owner of the Phoenix Feather Knife had been dead for many years, and given that the Phoenix Feather Knife had been sealed for over a century, the imprint left by its former owner was removed without too much effort.
Next, he must leave his own imprint within the blade.
There was no quick way to accomplish this; it required ceaselessly channeling mana and nurturing the blade slowly over time.
The blue bird flew over from somewhere and perched on his shoulder. Its dark, shining little eyes stared at the Phoenix Feather Knife, and it spoke in surprise, “Master, there is your aura on this blade.”
“I remember now, you were once snipped off a phoenix tail feather by that mad woman from Yao Chi. This blade was forged from your feather, wasn’t it?”
Gu Yang ignored it, focusing on refining the divine weapon.
However, he could indeed feel a strong affinity with the weapon during the refining process. It was quite smooth.
The blue bird continued to chat away, continuing, “But Master, your tastes have declined significantly. You used to only be interested in top-tier fairies, and now, you can stoop as low as mortal women…”
“Shut up.”
Gu Yang had had enough of its chatter.
He wondered how this creature, with its incessant talking and lack of boundaries, had managed to not get killed by its “master”.
Not wanting to hear it blabber on, Gu Yang shifted topics and asked, “Did you recall something from the past upon waking this time?”
“How did you know, Master?”
Don’t you have any self-awareness at all?
Gu Yang then asked, “Do you remember where the entrance to the Hidden World is?”
The blue bird began to flutter excitedly, “Master, are you preparing to conquer the Hidden Worlds and restore the glory of our Monster Race? I’ve been waiting a long time for this moment. Which Hidden World do you intend to attack?”
If I knew, would I need to ask you?
Gu Yang’s facial expression was unchanging as he replied, “I don’t remember where any of the Hidden Worlds are. Do you?”
“Oh, I forgot. After your last rebirth, you lost all memory of the past.”
The blue bird lowered its head in thought for a while, before replying, “I remember one, the Golden Court Hidden World.”
“Where is it?”
“Liangzhou, Golden Court Mountain.”
Gu Yang gave a pleased nod and asked, “Do you know the method of entering this Hidden World?”
“Of course, I know where the entrance is.”
“Good.”
Gu Yang spent seven days in Zhongzhou City, and on the seventh day…
The Phoenix Feather Knife suddenly let out a great burst of radiant light, and a beam of fiery light shot straight into the sky. A cloud of thick, dark cloud gathered in the sky, within which thunderbolts brewed.
“Success!”
Gu Yang rose, laughing loudly.
After seven sleepless days and nights, he finally managed to leave his imprint in the core of the Phoenix Feather Knife, fully refining it to completion.
With that, he had finally gained full control over this peerless divine weapon.
At the same time, he inherited a powerful saber technique, the “Xuan Yang Demon Slaying Art,” from the blade.
As suggested by its name, this was a saber technique created specifically for slaying demons.
Ironically, at its core, this blade was imbued with the power of a powerful demon. The person who created this blade must have deep resentment towards the Monster Race.
For Gu Yang, this saber technique could serve merely as a reference.
The Monster Race had basically disappeared from the mainland now. He suspected that only the blue bird that was flying circles above him and Xi Huang, who had half Monster Race bloodline, remained.
The blue bird flew towards Gu Yang, hovering above his head and excitedly suggested, “Master, you have finally completed your task. Let us go conquer the Golden Court Hidden World!”
Suddenly, the bird cried out in surprise, “Oops! That’s bad…”
Immediately afterward, it dove into his arms, scurrying inside his clothes, trembling in fear.
Feeling a foreboding sensation, Gu Yang turned to hear a familiar voice, “Gu Yang!”
He turned back around, only to see a new figure wearing a robe – it was Wen Jue, headmaster of the Dao Sect. He asked in surprise, “Senior, why are you here?”
Wen Jue said, “I’ve been waiting for you for two days. Come with me.”
“Where to?”
