NOVPUBAfter stepping into the seventh layer of the Prajnaparamita Sutra, causing three anomalies in his internal organs, Gu Qingfeng had actually stopped cultivating the Prajnaparamita Sutra in the following period, instead choosing to delve into his own learning, attempting to create the truly Perfect Martial Arts.
The reason for doing this
was because the anomalies in the internal organs for the last two layers required the Prajnaparamita Sutra to make another breakthrough, but such a breakthrough was as difficult as ascending to the heavens.
Thus,
rather than waste energy on cultivation, it would be better to turn around and thoroughly integrate what he had learned to see if he could combine it with his own being to create the Perfect Martial Arts.
Even if he couldn’t create a truly complete Perfect Martial Arts, having a rudimentary form would still be good.
At the same time,
in terms of Red Flame Divine Skill,
Gu Qingfeng also had no need to cultivate it.
Ninth Layer Perfection.
True Qi is self-generated.
Now, he just needed to wait enough time, and the Red Flame Divine Skill would naturally break through to the tenth layer, allowing him to prove himself as an Innate Grandmaster.
"The martial arts created by the ancients either observed nature and the universe, or they drew inspiration from the martial arts of predecessors, ultimately incorporating their own unique insights. Only in this way could one create martial arts that belonged to oneself!"
"Now that I have cultivated many martial arts, I do indeed have the foundation to create my own martial arts!"
Gu Qingfeng’s heart gradually calmed down as he began to methodically organize what he had learned, then confirmed his own perfected physique, and started to deduce the so-called Perfect Martial Arts.
The idea was beautiful.
But the reality was cruel.
When Gu Qingfeng truly started to deduce it, he understood just how difficult it was to create an entirely new martial arts.
However,
Gu Qingfeng did have enough time, after all, a lifespan of one thousand two hundred years was already considered long-lived in many people’s eyes.
Since he had sufficient time, he could slowly ponder and research until he succeeded.
——
While Gu Qingfeng was secluded and creating his own martial arts, the situation in the world was also constantly changing.
First of all,
it was the Divine Martial King Pei Jing leading a large army, openly attacking Guangyang Prefecture.
Although Guangyang Prefecture responded immediately, with strong individuals from the court leading armies in defense, Pei Jing’s force was too powerful, and with the backing of experts from the Tianyang Sword Sect, Guangyang Prefecture’s side inevitably fell back in defeat.
With the downfall of the court’s army, the Divine Martial Army might be said to be unstoppable, plunging the vast Guangyang Prefecture into utter chaos.
With such changes,
Gu Yang was the first to know.
Inside White Stone City,
within the government office,
Gu Yang sat upright in the main seat, with the Magistrate Mu Qing and various officials from White Stone Dao seated below.
"Lord Gu, three days ago the court’s army was defeated, and now the Divine Martial Army approaches ferociously. It is reported that Pei Jing is directly leading an army of one hundred thousand towards White Stone Dao. Their purpose is obvious.
If this matter is not addressed, I fear the consequences will be unimaginable!"
Mu Qing spoke very tactfully.
The rest of them could actually understand, that this time, after the Divine Martial Army crushed the court’s army, the first to send troops towards White Stone Dao were because of the Gu Family Manor.
Otherwise,
White Stone Dao within Guangyang Prefecture was inconspicuous; even if Pei Jing was to take action, he would not prioritize targeting White Stone Dao.
But these words, though they could be thought, couldn’t be spoken out loud.
It’s very simple.
The current White Stone Dao belonged to the surname Gu, and they all followed the orders of the Gu Family Manor.
Although the Divine Martial Army seemed unstoppable at the moment, the Gu Family Manor was not without its foundations.
If it really came to battle,
the outcome would be uncertain.
This is also why those people didn’t directly defect to the Divine Martial Army or abandon White Stone Dao and leave.
If there really were no hope, these people would run faster than anyone.
This point
is clear to themselves, and Gu Yang is just as aware.
He had never thought that these court officials would be very loyal to him. In fact, every court official currently here valued their lives and were greedy for benefits.
Otherwise
they wouldn’t willingly bow their heads and obey commands.
"There’s no need to worry about the Divine Martial Army’s problem. The Gu Family Manor isn’t entirely without foundation. To think that a mere hundred thousand soldiers could take down White Stone Dao is pure folly."
"Additionally, I will report this matter to my father myself. Even if our forces are truly defeated, as long as my father is willing to intervene, I believe the issue will be easily resolved."
As Gu Yang spoke, he changed the subject.
His words
left everyone startled, and they couldn’t help but show a look of reverence on their faces.
The father of Gu Yang
is none other than the Domineering Blade, Gu Qingfeng.
There are rumors in the Martial World
that his strength is comparable to that of a top True Intent Master.
The other reason they were willing to obey Gu Yang was because standing behind him was a top-tier powerhouse.
In an era where Great Grandmasters are scarce, a top True Intent Master is considered an invincible force.
Even though magicians are held in the highest esteem, the number of magicians strong enough to confront a top True Intent Master can be counted on one hand.
If one has just learned the truths of this world, they may believe any magician to be utterly unbeatable and that martial artists are mere ants in the eyes of magicians.
But in reality
as court officials, they have a deeper understanding of magicians. 𝓷ℴ𝓿𝓅𝓊𝒷.𝓬𝓸𝓂
Magicians are indeed powerful
but this is all relative.
To the average martial artist, magicians are an unbeatable existence, with even the weakest magician being on par with a Blood Refining Realm martial artist.
However
such "average martial artists" obviously do not include top True Intent Masters.
Immediately
someone said, "If Senior Domineering Blade is willing to make a move, the problem is naturally not a big deal."
"Alright, you continue to pay attention to the movements of the Divine Martial Army. Any news must be immediately reported to me!"
After finishing his words, Gu Yang stood up and left with a few Hidden Guards.
After his departure
the atmosphere within the official residence underwent subtle changes.
One of them looked at Mu Qing and said in a deep voice, "Mr. Mu, now that the Divine Martial Army is bearing down upon us, do we really have to stand on the same boat as the Gu Family Manor?"
Upon hearing this
the expressions of the others became even more uncertain.
Mu Qing replied indifferently, "If we don’t stand with the Gu Family Manor, do we have other options?"
"Not to mention the current state of chaos, just the fact that the Domineering Blade stands behind the Gu Family Manor means he is someone we cannot afford to offend."
"The horror of a top True Intent Master is beyond your imagination. As long as that person lives, the Gu Family Manor will never truly perish."
"Let alone whether Pei Jing can really take down White Stone Dao. Even if he could, without absolute certainty that he can kill Gu Qingfeng, he would absolutely not dare do anything to the Gu Family Manor."
"Even the Divine Martial King cannot afford to offend such a figure, what makes you think we can?"
In the end, Mu Qing’s face showed a mocking smile.
It is uncertain whether they would survive the arrival of the Divine Martial Army, but to offend a True Intent Master is to truly court death.
If the Domineering Blade wished, killing them would be as easy as turning over his hand; nowhere under the heavens would they find a chance to live.
Mu Qing’s words caused those who had entertained other ideas to turn pale, immediately dispelling the few thoughts that had arisen in their minds.
