NOVPUBWar!
Sometimes, it’s just that plain and unadorned.
There’s no need to speak of any so-called cunning strategies, for in a world where the strong are revered, strength is the root of everything.
When the higher ranks of one army are all assassinated or turned traitor, how much resistance can that army have left?
Such reasoning
Gu Yang clearly understood.
Therefore,
to prevent others from imitating his tactics, Gu Yang would not send out all his Hidden Guards. He would at least keep one or two Innate Grandmasters by his side to prevent any issues.
With two Innate Grandmasters at the Perfection level guarding him, as long as no Great Grandmaster or top-tier True Intent Master took action, there generally wouldn’t be any major problems.
After all,
Gu Yang was not only protected by Masters, but he also commanded an army of hundreds of thousands.
With this in mind,
unless the enemy could succeed in one strike, once they were surrounded by the great army, they would most likely meet their death.
Despite seeming like his power had not developed for many years and failing to completely occupy One Prefecture, if one truly considered his deep-rooted strength, he was destined to be more formidable than many other forces.
——
At the same time,
the Hidden Guards also didn’t take too long to carry away the items.
After throwing the Golden Coffin that sealed the Evil Spirit into the Demon Suppression Prison, Gu Qingfeng directly released the Evil Spirit inside and then suppressed and killed it with absolute power.
Such things, which are nothing but a curse, Gu Qingfeng naturally would not ignore.
After that,
it was the Red Flame Sect’s Martial Arts and a special Cultivation Technique.
"Heavenly Vein True Scripture!"
"It seems this is the mysterious inheritance that Yang’er received—"
As Gu Qingfeng looked at the Heavenly Vein True Scripture in his hand, he also noticed that the material on which this Martial Art was recorded was somewhat special. He tried to tear it slightly with force but found that the Secret Manual remained intact.
At this,
Gu Qingfeng’s expression became even more astonished.
You must know that at his level of cultivation, even a single finger could exert immense power, enough to tear through so-called legendary Divine Weapons.
However,
this strength did nothing to the paper, indicating the unusual nature of this Secret Manual.
Subsequently,
Gu Qingfeng’s gaze fell upon the content of the Heavenly Vein True Scripture.
Half an hour passed,
and Gu Qingfeng came back to his senses.
There was a blend of three parts astonishment and seven parts doubt in his eyes.
"To condense nine Heavenly Veins and amplify one’s combat capabilities by ninefold!"
"Can there truly be such a heaven-defying Cultivation Technique in this world?"
Gu Qingfeng found it somewhat unbelievable.
Like Gu Yang, he was doubtful about the authenticity of the Heavenly Vein True Scripture.
Nevertheless,
when Gu Qingfeng looked at his attribute panel, he was stunned on the spot.
He saw an additional line of text on the attribute panel.
...
Heavenly Vein True Scripture (Not entered)!
...
"This Cultivation Technique is actually real!"
Gu Qingfeng’s expression changed again.
If it could be recorded by the attribute panel, it meant that the Heavenly Vein True Scripture was indeed real.
After all,
the attribute panel is one way to verify the authenticity of Cultivation Techniques and Martial Arts.
If a Cultivation Technique or Martial Art was fictitious and made up, it certainly would not be recorded by the attribute panel, and vice versa.
With that thought,
Gu Qingfeng attempted to upgrade the Heavenly Vein True Scripture.
However.
The Heavenly Vein True Scripture remained motionless.
At the same time,
Gu Qingfeng was also clear about the real reason why the Heavenly Vein True Scripture was difficult to upgrade.
"The first level upgrade requires a hundred upgrade points, even though Master Martial Arts only need fifty upgrade points. Could it be that the rank of the Heavenly Vein True Scripture is comparable to that of the Great Grandmaster Martial Arts?"
Regarding this,
Gu Qingfeng felt it was normal.
If the Heavenly Vein True Scripture were true, then the strong individual who created this martial arts must be extraordinary, and being called a Great Grandmaster seemed not unacceptable.
However,
one hundred upgrade points.
Gu Qingfeng couldn’t come up with that at the moment.
After all, the total upgrade points he had were a mere thirteen.
To obtain upgrade points now, either Gu Yang and the others’ cultivation would have to break through, or the others would have to achieve some kind of accomplishment.
However, triggering achievements was difficult, and so far, the real achievements triggered by Gu Yang were only two or three times.
As for the former, it was much easier.
After all, Gu Yang and Gu Xuan were at a state of Perfection in their realms, with the former able to break through to the Bone Refining Realm, and the latter to the Blood Refining Realm.
As for Gu Shengnan, she was still too young.
"However, Yang’er is now indeed capable of leaving more offspring behind, otherwise, once his cultivation advances, it won’t be so easy to have children."
Gu Qingfeng reflected.
Gu Yang’s current situation was much better than his own at the time.
After all, back then, Gu Qingfeng had no forces behind him and had to support the entire Gu Family alone, so being cautious and burdened with a family was truly a last resort.
But now it was different.
Gu Yang had the entire Gu Family Manor behind him, and him as a father, comparable to a Great Grandmaster, so having offspring and enlarging the Gu Family lineage would be much less of a problem.
Thinking about this,
Gu Qingfeng summoned Gu Peng.
"Your subordinate greets the old manor master!"
"Take my message to Yang’er, tell him to seize the opportunity to leave more offspring and strengthen our Gu Family bloodline."
"… Your subordinate acknowledges the order!"
Gu Peng was taken aback, having not expected Gu Qingfeng to call him over for this kind of matter.
After a brief moment of shock, Gu Peng bowed and withdrew.
Whatever Gu Qingfeng said, he would do.
Gu Peng understood his own status and position well.
After Gu Peng left, Gu Qingfeng turned his gaze to the numerous martial arts of the Red Flame Sect.
The Evil Refining Secret Technique!
A top-notch superior skill!
It had to be said.
The Red Flame Sect truly deserved its reputation as a millennium sect, and even if it only flexed its muscles within Guangyang Prefecture, its foundation was extraordinary.
The martial arts here, although lacking Master-level supreme skills, were abundant in Refining Organ and other levels of martial arts.
Right away,
Gu Qingfeng began to read these martial arts, gaining insight from the understanding left by predecessors and feeling a trace of profound mysteries, aiding his own path in deducing the Perfect Martial Arts, allowing him to further advance.
…
"Your offspring ’Gu Yang’ has defeated the court allied forces, gaining great fame!"
"Your offspring ’Gu Yang’ has conquered five cities within three days, significantly increasing his forces!"
"Your offspring ’Gu Xuan’ has gained a slight understanding in cultivating martial arts, with a slight improvement in strength!"
"Your offspring ’Gu Shengnan’ has cleaned her genetic makeup, with a slight increase in talent!"
"Your offspring ’Gu Yang’ has slain *697 Refining Skin Realm Martial Artists!"
"Your offspring ’Gu Yang’ has defeated the remnant forces of the Divine Martial Army, slaughtering many enemies!"
"Your offspring ’Gu Yang’ has slain *1786 Divine Martial Army soldiers!"
"Your offspring…"
…
During his spare time in seclusion at the Grinding Blade Hall, Gu Qingfeng looked at the attribute panel that refreshed with new information from time to time, his eyebrows slightly raised.
From the attribute panel, it seemed that Gu Yang had killed quite a few people during this period.
