Ji Xiaoyu grasped the handle of the Heaven-Cutting Axe, and she immediately felt its weight—a weight that struck her soul and filled her with an involuntary sense of reverence.
The reason was Gu An's mana at work.
Realizing she couldn't lift the Heaven-Cutting Axe, she immediately channeled the power of the Primordial Daoist Talisman.
This was the result of her training in the Seven Stars Spirit Realm. Previously, she could only draw on a tiny bit of the talisman's power, but now she could channel it at will.
As the power of the Primordial Daoist Talisman flooded her bones and muscles, her aura suddenly changed.
Zuo Yijian looked at her in surprise, and the surrounding great cultivators, too, were startled, their gazes focusing on her.
Gu An silently took a step back, avoiding being noticed by the others.
Even if Ji Xiaoyu channeled the power of the Primordial Daoist Talisman, she still couldn't lift the Heaven-Cutting Axe.
