NOVPUBGu Yang left.
He was digesting the words previously spoken by Gu Qingfeng.
There are flaws in the Universal Martial Arts!
Perfect Martial Arts!
There was a vague stirring in Gu Yang’s heart, but since he was only at the Late Stage of Blood Refining, he naturally had little realization.
However.
He was also doing his utmost to enhance his strength. Whatever resources were available for cultivation, he endeavored to pour as much as possible onto himself.
After all, in the past six months, having eradicated many mountain strongholds, Gu Yang had acquired a considerable amount of materials from these strongholds.
Besides secretly training troops, the surplus materials were more than sufficient for his own use.
Gu Yang had a premonition.
At the soonest, half a year, and at the latest, one year, he would be able to break through to Blood Refining Perfection.
Of course.
Given the current state of the world.
Even Blood Refining Perfection would seem somewhat inadequate.
The higher one stood.
The farther one saw.
In the eyes of the weak, a small plot of land in White Stone Dao was the entire Martial World, but in the eyes of the strong, one prefecture or county was merely trivial.
Gu Yang intended to take the path of contending for supremacy under the heavens, so naturally, his vision would not be short-sighted.
However.
Eat one bite at a time.
Walk one step at a time.
At present.
Prioritizing the breakthrough to Blood Refining Perfection was crucial.
——
On the other side.
Inside the Grinding Blade Hall.
Gu Qingfeng was not concerned about the Blood Spirit Sect.
Since the battle in Liuyun Prefecture, he had gained a clearer understanding of his own strength.
The Blood Spirit Sect.
At most, it was equivalent to the Red Flame Sect.
To be honest.
With Gu Qingfeng’s current strength, he had absolute confidence in destroying the Red Flame Sect.
It’s just that.
Destroying the Red Flame Sect was easy, but the complications that followed were extraordinary.
Again, that old saying.
This world belongs to the magicians.
If a Martial Artist swings a blade at a Magician, he is making enemies with all the Magicians under the heavens.
This was different from the previous eradication of the Divine Fist Sect.
Gu Qingfeng took action against the Divine Fist Sect because there had been past grudges, and then he demonstrated his strength, which was enough to make others wary.
If there hadn’t been prior grudges, as well as Gu Qingfeng’s formidable strength, the destruction of the Divine Fist Sect would have definitely brought significant trouble to Gu Family Manor.
"In the end!"
"It’s all about strength!"
"With my current strength, I don’t yet truly qualify to openly challenge the Magicians, but if my Martial Arts were to break through again in the future, these issues would no longer exist!"
Gu Qingfeng’s expression was indifferent.
The Magician sects controlled almost all of the top Secret Manuals for reasons known and unknown, and Gu Qingfeng was set on taking action against these forces.
However.
Now was not the time.
Afterward.
Gu Qingfeng closed his eyes and began to mobilize his vital energy, tirelessly refining his flesh and bones, refining himself, cultivating the Prajnaparamita Sutra.
Mobilizing vital energy!
Circulating throughout the body!
All-round Jade Bone trembled in unison, the marrow within the bones vibrated, and impurities, almost imperceptible to the naked eye, were gradually expelled from the marrow.
This process repeated continuously.
Gu Qingfeng’s Cultivation was also gradually improving.
——
Time flew by.
In the blink of an eye, half a year had passed.
During this half year,
Gu Qingfeng spent most of his time training in the Grinding Blade Hall, but through the information panel, he could also learn about what Gu Yang was currently doing.
And,
from the Hidden Guard, he learned about some changes in the situation in the Martial World.
Over the past six months,
the Divine Martial King Pei Jing had been deploying troops extensively and had brought the entire Liuyun Prefecture under his control.
After taking over Liuyun Prefecture, the Divine Martial Army became quiet, as though the war had completely dissipated.
But clear-eyed people understood
that the current calm was merely a sign of an impending storm.
Having taken Liuyun Prefecture,
the Divine Martial Army also needed to recuperate.
Once the recuperation was over, a thunderous offensive was inevitable.
It was simple.
With the situation in Central State becoming increasingly unpredictable and intense, Pei Jing was naturally eager to seize the entire Guangyang Prefecture and then slowly encroach on Taishan County before bringing the entirety of Qing State under control.
During this quiet period in Liuyun Prefecture, Gu Yang was also secretly amassing strength.
Throughout these six months,
Gu Yang continued to dispatch Hidden Guards to eliminate various bandits and gather resources for military training.
Originally,
Gu Yang was still wary of the Blood Spirit Sect.
But since a conversation with Gu Qingfeng, he had completely let go of his concerns.
Since the Blood Spirit Sect was not to be feared, there was no need to worry so much.
He had thought that such a course of action would infuriate the Blood Spirit Sect; however, for half a year, it was as if the Blood Spirit Sect had completely disappeared, which left Gu Yang somewhat inexplicably disappointed but also secretly relieved.
"Phew!"
Gu Qingfeng exhaled a breath, his physical strength and blood roiling, his muscles and bones crackling loudly, as if thunder was rumbling.
"It seems that the Prajnaparamita Sutra will still require some time to reach Perfection!" 𝒏𝒐𝒗𝒑𝒖𝙗.𝒄𝒐𝒎
Gu Qingfeng slightly shook his head.
Though the Prajnaparamita Sutra had not achieved Perfection, his progress with the Red Flame Divine Skill had been quite good in this half year.
Since breaking through to the Fifth Layer of the Red Flame Divine Skill four months ago, he had been advancing rapidly, swiftly overcoming several levels and having the Red Flame Divine Skill breakthrough to the Ninth Realm.
When the Red Flame Divine Skill broke through to the Ninth Realm, Gu Qingfeng truly understood that after the Ninth Realm, he could generate True Qi on his own and breakthrough to the rank of Innate Grandmaster.
The rumored Tenth Layer required gradual refinement.
Since the Red Flame Divine Skill reached the Ninth Realm, Gu Qingfeng’s vitality was as fiery as the fierce sun, and his meridians were always filled with a burning sensation, with a subtle power gestating within.
This kind of power,
in Gu Qingfeng’s view, was so-called True Qi.
This gestating True Qi eventually converged towards the direction of the Dantian in his lower abdomen.
Unfortunately,
his Dantian had not yet opened.
This True Qi continuously surged but could never break through the barriers of the Dantian.
According to Gu Qingfeng’s estimation, only when the True Qi accumulated to a certain extent and completely opened the Dantian, would he truly step into the Tenth Layer of the Red Flame Divine Skill and breakthrough to become an Innate Grandmaster.
As for how long this would take, Gu Qingfeng could not make a good estimate.
After all, judging by the speed at which this True Qi was forming, it would take at least several years, or even ten years, to possibly breakthrough to the Innate Grandmaster Realm.
Regarding this,
Gu Qingfeng could not help but shake his head.
"Marshalling ten years to exchange for a chance at a breakthrough to Grandmaster, I believe most people would be willing because there are not many Grandmasters in the world, which shows how difficult this realm is to breakthrough.
However, if I have enough Upgrade Points, I won’t need to wait for ten years!"
Having said this,
Gu Qingfeng also understood that if he had enough Upgrade Points, instead of using them to break through to the rank of Innate Grandmaster, it would be better to first refine his body to a perfect state.
Innate Grandmaster True Qi generation on its own might not be more powerful than perfect Body Refinement.
Before reaching Grandmaster,
Refining Organ and Marrow Cleansing and Bone Refining, among others, were all part of the body refining process.
Therefore,
to achieve perfect Body Refinement,
Gu Qingfeng believed that his strength would definitely be much stronger than if he directly broke through to Innate Grandmaster now.
