The elder of the Divine Blade Sect's eyes erupted with a fervent light, fixated on the piece of dark golden metal exuding an ancient aura amidst the ruins.

"Ancient Profound Gold Essence... It's actually Ancient Profound Gold Essence!"

His breathing grew heavy, and his heart pounded violently with ecstasy.

This divine material for crafting, only found in ancient texts, was invaluable and enough to drive any master craftsman mad. If he could integrate it into his life-bound broad blade, his strength would surely ascend to a new level, even allowing him to contend with late-stage Golden Elixir cultivators.
