NOVPUBDespite knowing the details from the information panel, Gu Qingfeng still needed to inquire about it.
The words had barely left his mouth.
A smile appeared on Gu Yang’s face as he nodded.
"By a stroke of luck, I grasped a martial art from the Master’s True Intent Map, which is called ’Domineering Blade Strike’!"
"Good!"
Gu Qingfeng’s face was filled with satisfaction.
"The Zhuo Family had possession of this Master’s True Intent Map for countless years without being able to comprehend anything from it; it’s unexpected that you managed to grasp a master technique from it in just one month. Well done, indeed!"
Master technique!
Such techniques were undoubtedly rare in the entire Martial World.
Having grasped the Domineering Blade Strike, even if Gu Yang’s cultivation was only at the Blood Refining Realm, his strength must have progressed by leaps and bounds.
Immediately,
Gu Qingfeng took Gu Yang to the backyard to exchange pointers and also to witness what a master technique entailed.
"Please enlighten me, Father!"
Gu Yang didn’t hesitate and, right after speaking, the moment he gripped the handle of the blade, his aura changed drastically.
In the next breath,
The long blade was drawn.
The resplendent blade qi was like containing heavenly majesty, horribly fierce. Before the strike even arrived, the overpowering blade intent was already assaulting people’s spirits, almost freezing their blood.
It was like thunder in its momentum.
Unrivaled domineering!
Facing this strike, Gu Qingfeng’s eyes flashed with awe, and then he simply pointed two fingers, easily shattering the blade qi, and finally clamped the tip of the blade, stabilizing it precisely three inches from his forehead.
Following that,
Gu Qingfeng twisted his two fingers and flicked, Gu Yang felt a great force transmitted through the blade, almost causing the handle to fly out of his grip, and involuntarily, he staggered several steps backward.
"Not bad!"
"This blade is indeed worthy of being a master technique; the blade intent just now would probably be unbearable for an average martial artist at the Bone Refining Realm."
Gu Qingfeng gave a fair assessment.
The techniques of Domineering Blade Strike might not be exquisite, but with that bit of domineering blade intent, the former had completely risen several levels in strength, utterly incomparable to before.
After experiencing so-called master martial arts, Gu Qingfeng’s heart had already gained some enlightenment.
Master martial arts!
This level of supreme techniques was no longer confined to simple variations of moves but focused more on the so-called artistic conception.
With this thought,
Gu Qingfeng couldn’t help but think about his own Seven Killings Blade Skills.
This set of blade skills,
He too had comprehended the existence of Slaughter True Intent.
In other words,
Such a level of Seven Killings Blade Skills, even if it wasn’t ranked as a master technique, was likely touching the threshold of a master.
At least––
Both involved the existence of True Intent.
At the same time,
Gu Qingfeng seemed to also understand how he might have the opportunity to comprehend the Master’s True Intent.
On the other hand,
Gu Yang’s face was full of emotion. "Father, your profound understanding surpasses natural laws. Even though I have comprehended the Domineering Blade Strike, I am still no match for you!"
"The Domineering Blade Strike is undoubtedly strong. You are only lacking a bit in cultivation. But even so, with your initial stage of Blood Refining cultivation combined with the Domineering Blade Strike, you have the potential to contend with martial artists at the Bone Refining Realm.
Once your cultivation steps into the Marrow Cleansing or even the Refining Organ Realm in the future, father might not necessarily be your match."
"Furthermore, you have just recently grasped the Domineering Blade Strike and have not truly comprehended much of its True Intent’s profundity. If you can master it further, your strength can also reach a higher level."
Gu Qingfeng’s encouraging words restored Gu Yang’s confidence.
For Gu Yang,
nothing was more useful than the affirmation from Gu Qingfeng.
At this time,
Gu Yang said, "This past month, the Zhuo Family has already sent people to take charge of Taishan Road, and many sects and noble families in Guangyang Prefecture are dissatisfied, each sending out their top individuals to enter Taishan Road.
Now, Taishan Road is already a cluster of numerous forces constantly fighting each other.
Father, what do you think the Gu Family Manor should do?"
The situation in Taishan Road,
was always on Gu Yang’s mind.
After all, the former White Stone Dao also belonged to Taishan Road, and even more so since the Green Sun Sect was annihilated by the Gu Family Manor, how could Gu Yang not care?
Now that Taishan Road was chaotic, it was no wonder that Gu Yang was worried.
In response,
Gu Qingfeng was indifferent, "We needn’t meddle too much in the affairs of Taishan Road. Let them fight if they wish to compete. I only agreed to allow the Zhuo Family to take charge of Taishan Road. Whether they have the actual capability to control Taishan Road depends entirely on the Zhuo Family’s own ability."
"So let them fight if they want, as long as it doesn’t affect us."
"But if they dare to meddle with White Stone Dao, then when the time comes to take action, there is no need to hold back!"
"A thousand-year-old master family might not truly be invincible—"
Gu Qingfeng’s eyes emitted a cold light, and a chilling murderous aura exuded from him, startling Gu Yang, who immediately bowed his head.
"The child understands and will definitely not allow White Stone Dao to fall into chaos!"
"Hmm, if there are any problems you can’t solve, come to me at any time. Besides, your current cultivation is far too weak. Strive to break through as soon as possible. In these chaotic times, strength is the fundamental root of everything!"
After giving these instructions, Gu Yang then withdrew.
Watching the retreating figure, Gu Qingfeng withdrew his gaze after a moment.
The chaos on Taishan Road.
Was within Gu Qingfeng’s expectations.
The resources available were significant or minimal, and being in the top ten of Guangyang Prefecture, these forces would naturally not miss the opportunity.
Originally, with the Green Sun Sect holding sway there, other forces might covet but would not act rashly.
Simply put,
exterminating the Green Sun Sect was easy, but the troublesome part was the potential chain reaction.
Whoever took the initiative might likely become the target of the collective.
But now,
the Green Sun Sect had been wiped out.
Taishan Road became a leaderless asset.
Under such circumstances, everyone relied on their own capabilities.
As for these disputes between the noble families and sects, Gu Qingfeng had no intention of intervening. Presently, owning all of White Stone Dao and its continual resources was already enough for the Gu Family Manor to develop.
In a short period of time, even taking over Taishan Road would not significantly enhance the capacity of Gu Family Manor.
On the contrary,
such an action would make the Gu Family Manor the target of all forces.
Whether it was Jiang Qin or Zhuo Feng’s statements, both made Gu Qingfeng realize that the essence of strength for martial artists and magicians was fundamentally different.
Therefore,
when Zhuo Feng came and was willing to pay a certain price, Gu Qingfeng decisively gave up Taishan Road.
This course of action,
was all advantageous and not the slightest bit harmful to Gu Family Manor.
Of course,
should these forces be not satisfied with just Taishan Road and also meddle with White Stone Dao, Gu Qingfeng naturally would not back down.
"If you meddle with White Stone Dao, I will make it clear to you whether the blade in my hand is sharp!"
Gu Qingfeng murmured to himself, exuding an intense aura of solemnity.
