NOVPUB"Your scion ’Gu Yang’ has taken control of Guangyang Prefecture, significantly boosting his power!"
"Your scion ’Gu Yang’s’ reputation has increased!"
"Your scion ’Gu Yang’ has been attacked by three Martial Artists in the Refining Organ Realm!"
"Your scion ’Gu Yang’..."
...
"It seems he has succeeded!"
Glancing at the attribute panel, Gu Qingfeng knew that when he saw Gu Yang had taken control of Guangyang Prefecture, he had taken a crucial step.
To compete for supremacy in the world, one must at least have the foundation of an entire prefecture.
Without even a single prefecture under one’s control, how can one talk of contending for the world?
The only regret for Gu Qingfeng was that.
When Gu Yang took control of Guangyang Prefecture, he didn’t achieve any feats.
About this.
Although Gu Qingfeng felt a bit disappointed, he quickly came to terms with it.
Feats are not easy to trigger.
Since no feat was triggered with the takeover of Guangyang Prefecture, this means it wasn’t forceful enough.
Then when the time comes to take over Taishan County, or perhaps Qingyun State, or even the entire world, there will inevitably be feats triggered.
Moreover—
If it were truly a feat for taking over the world, Gu Qingfeng believed, the reward would certainly be extremely generous.
Taking a deep breath.
Gu Qingfeng refocused and looked at the attribute panel.
...

Upgrade Points: 13
...
This is the current situation of Gu Qingfeng’s attribute panel.
In the panel,
Many inferior Martial Arts from the past had disappeared, to be replaced by a Martial Art called Longevity Skills.
This Martial Art.
Is the truly perfect Martial Art created by Gu Qingfeng after melting down the Martial Arts of hundreds of schools.
However,
At present, Longevity Skills have only just developed the first layer, which pertains to the Refining Skin level.
Going further up,
Gu Qingfeng still needs to continue the derivation and improvement.
However,
Compared to other inferior Martial Arts, even as an inferior art, Longevity Skills can trigger a special feature when perfected.
It should be known,
Normally, to trigger special features in Martial Arts, one must at least reach a medium grade level.
But the Longevity Skills created by Gu Qingfeng are different. Special features can be triggered even at the inferior Martial Arts level, and this special feature is longevity.
Perfect Refining Skin increases lifespan by one hundred years, so the longevity feature of Longevity Skills is also normal.
As the saying goes, the beginnings are the hardest.
Now that Gu Qingfeng has taken the first step with the creation of Longevity Skills, the subsequent refinement and perfection will be much less difficult.
At least,
To deduce Longevity Skills to the point that they directly target the fifth realm of Organ Refining will not be very difficult.
This is also because Gu Qingfeng himself is an Extreme Dao Master, and the created Longevity Skills do not have to grope from scratch but can draw on his own experiences.
Compared to that,
if someone were to fabricate from scratch or create realms they had never touched before, the difficulty would multiply by more than tenfold.
The reason this martial art was named Longevity Skills was precisely because the Perfect Martial Arts had the potential to lead directly to longevity.
Longevity!
It was also Gu Qingfeng’s own pursuit.
Afterward,
Gu Qingfeng continued to comprehend and deduce martial arts.
The first level of Longevity Skills was just the beginning; to bring Perfect Martial Arts into the world, at the very least, one needed to create techniques that could direct one straight to the Refining Organ five realms.
After all, with the situation of Perfect Martial Arts, if one could complete the five realms of Refining Organ, they could transform their life level and their combat power alone would be enough to rival the so-called Master powerhouses of the current time.
Even,
saying it could rival the top Masters would not be an exaggeration.
Initially, when Gu Qingfeng had not yet achieved Perfect Organ Refining, he could kill Magicians in the God Fusion Realm mainly due to the power of Domineering Blade True Intent.
Profound foundations,
coupled with sufficiently powerful Master True Intents,
combined,
annihilating God Fusion Realm and ordinary Masters was as simple as eating and drinking.
For an ordinary person, being able to cultivate Longevity Skills to the Refining Organ five realms level would not be on par with Gu Qingfeng at that stage, but it would still be enough to suppress many strong adversaries.
——
As news of Gu Yang taking over Guangyang Prefecture spread, the vast Qingyun State was shaken.
Half a month later,
Gu Yang returned to Gu Family Manor.
"Father, I pay my respects!"
Looking at Gu Yang before him, Gu Qingfeng’s expression moved slightly; compared to several months ago, the changes in the latter were undeniable.
The trace of youthful naivety that had been on his face had now completely vanished, and the intense aura of iron-blooded severity was strong on him, while between his brows there was a subtle air of dominance.
It was an attitude befitting a superior.
Clearly,
taking command of an army and suppressing an entire prefecture had caused great changes in Gu Yang.
However,
from the look of him now, Gu Yang still held the same reverence for his father as always.
"It’s good that you’re back. I heard you’ve taken Guangyang Prefecture; what are your plans moving forward?"
Gu Qingfeng asked with a faint smile.
Gu Yang said solemnly, "The world is currently beset by natural disasters; the court is corrupt, Magicians cause havoc—your son must surely cleanse the realm and fight for a sliver of hope for the people."
"Do you intend to declare yourself a king?"
"Indeed!"
Gu Yang nodded, his expression extremely serious.
"Now that I’ve taken control of a prefecture, it is right to raise a banner and declare myself king. In doing so, I can also hope to gather righteous individuals from all over the world to join me in our great endeavor!"
If time were wound back twenty years, Gu Yang would not have had thoughts of declaring himself king.
At that time,
Qingyun State was not yet in chaos.
Even though the Taixuan Dynasty was already terminally ill, it still had a not weak grip on the land.
Hence,
open rebellion and self-declaration as king at that time would have certainly provoked the thunderous wrath of the court.
But now it was different.
Now, with the rise of righteous armies and the situation in the Central Plains thrown into extreme chaos, the situation in Qingyun State had been thrown into utter disarray with Pei Jing raising the flag of rebellion, along with the continuous natural disasters and later his death.
At this time, if he were to declare himself king, Gu Yang saw it as more beneficial than detrimental.
Gu Qingfeng pondered for a moment and then nodded, "If that is what you think, then go ahead and do it. Even if the sky were to fall, your father would hold it up for you!"
"With father’s words, your son feels at ease!"
Gu Yang’s face was filled with gratitude, and at the same time, his heart burgeoned with boundless confidence.
