Since his rebirth, Gao Xuan has always felt quite good.
He accomplished almost everything he wanted to do, especially a few major tasks: the Godslaying Sword, the Celestial Dragon Eye, and slaying Luojia.
The Undying Golden Cicada wasn't even on his initial list of plans. Obtaining it was a complete surprise.
Fusing with the Undying Golden Cicada allowed him to lay an incredibly deep foundation in the Silver Realm.
If it weren't for obtaining the Mechanical Iron Cicada, he wouldn't have considered that there could be other options for advancing to the Golden Level.
To achieve Perfect Gold, Gao Xuan then thought of the Book of All-Knowing.
As it turned out, the Book of All-Knowing was indeed amazing; it provided him a remarkable answer, leaving him utterly shocked.
The path he thought was to perfect the Golden Level was much farther from perfect than he imagined.
