"Domineering Blade True Intent Level Six!"
A cold light suddenly flashed in Gu Qingfeng’s eyes.
Instantly,
he began to urge the Domineering Blade True Intent, directly assaulting the Master True Intent, stirring the hidden Master True Intent within.
"Boom—"
The two collided.
Gu Qingfeng’s Level Six Domineering Blade True Intent shattered with a loud crash.
Seeing this,
Gu Qingfeng already understood in his heart.
"Level Six of the Domineering Blade True Intent is merely the threshold of the Master True Intent, but compared to the Master True Intent in the portrait before me, it is still far inferior!"
According to the Zhuo Family,
The Master True Intent here was left by a warrior close to that of a Great Grandmaster.
Such True Intent from a powerful being is naturally incomparable to his own current level.
However,
Gu Qingfeng could distinctly feel that the True Intent contained in the True Intent Map now was much weaker than before.
It was evident,
The True Intent here was not an eternal and undying existence.
As time passed, and whenever someone reflected upon it, the True Intent power contained within was passively consumed.
"True Intent Level Six is required to step into the threshold of a Master!"
"Only by mastering Level Six or above True Intent can one truly be called a Little Master!"
"Level Two Slaughter True Intent is powerful, but in front of Level Six True Intent, it is much more than just a single tier of difference—"
Gu Qingfeng clenched his fists tightly, and the information about the Domineering Blade strike clearly displayed in his mind, one by one.
It could be said,
By comprehending the Domineering Blade strike,
Gu Qingfeng could truly claim the title of Little Master.
Once his own cultivation level also stepped into the Master tier, only then could he be regarded as a true Master warrior.
This time,
Although Gu Qingfeng’s cultivation level had not broken through,
with the true Domineering Blade strike in his mastery, his strength had directly doubled.
Such an effect
was far more profound than breaking through to the second realm of Refining Organ.
After all, with the Domineering Blade strike, Gu Qingfeng had the confidence to instantly kill his past self.
Afterwards,
Gu Qingfeng turned his attention to other matters.
Blood Refining Pills and Bone Refining Pills went without saying, these were old friends.
And then,
it was the Marrow Cleansing Pill.
This was the first time Gu Qingfeng had obtained an elixir related to Marrow Cleansing.
Previously, Blood Refining Pills and Bone Refining Pills not only enhanced a martial artist’s strength but also tempered their foundation, with benefits that need not be explained.
However,
every elixir has a limit.
After consuming about a hundred Blood Refining Pills and Bone Refining Pills, the enhancement in foundation reached its limit.
And Gu Qingfeng had already gradually tempered his body into Golden Bone by consuming a hundred Bone Refining Pills early on.
Now he,
with Golden Bone in comparison to martial artists of the same realm, was more than just twice as strong.
Therefore,
Bone Refining Pills now truly had no effect on Gu Qingfeng.
A hundred was the limit.
Continued consumption would only offer the benefit of enhancing cultivation.
But the problem was,
Bone Refining Pills were only effective in enhancing cultivation for martial artists in the Bone Refining Realm, and as a Refining Organ Little Master, it would be a waste for Gu Qingfeng to consume them.
However—
Marrow Cleansing Pills were different.
Such an elixir was the first time Gu Qingfeng had obtained it, and consuming it would enhance his foundation, and in a sense, it would raise his strength to the next level.
Of course.
Among the numerous rewards,
only the Blade Nourishing Skills truly caught Gu Qingfeng’s attention.
Secret technique!
It was also the first time he had heard about it.
When Gu Qingfeng took the secret technique out of the Item Bar and carefully perused it, he finally understood what a secret technique was.
Different from Martial Arts,
a secret technique is a special method.
And the Blade Nourishing Skills that Gu Qingfeng had obtained emphasized how to nurture a Divine Weapon with one’s blood and qi, ultimately achieving a spiritual resonance where weapon and will move as one.
Not only that.
This method of Blade Nourishing could even slowly enhance the grade of the Divine Weapon.
In a certain sense,
the efficacy of Blade Nourishing Skills was much more potent than that of a Master’s ultimate study.
However,
nurturing a blade also required time to hone.
After all, the blade cannot be nurtured overnight.
It demanded daily blood nourishment paired with specific techniques, and only after years of such dedication could one genuinely achieve such a deep spiritual connection.
Next,
there was a prerequisite condition for cultivating the Blade Nourishing Skills.
That is, a Martial Artist must comprehend their True Intent.
...
After half a day’s effort,
Gu Qingfeng had committed all the knowledge of the Blade Nourishing Skills to memory and then proceeded to retrieve the Evil Slayer Blade.
Unsheathing the long blade,
its slightly yellow steel shimmered with a cold light.
Gu Qingfeng focused and held his breath, recalling the elements of Blade Nourishing Skills, and then used the long blade to cut his finger, allowing fresh blood to flow from the wound.
Subsequently,
Gu Qingfeng concentrated entirely, with blood as his ink, he intricately etched mysterious patterns onto the blade.
At the same time,
Gu Qingfeng also needed to constantly evoke the True Intent to awaken the blade’s spirit, thereby accelerating the nourishment of the blade.
Only by doing so,
could it be regarded as true Blade Nourishing Skills.
Otherwise,
mere blood nourishment did not constitute true Blade Nourishing and would not be largely effective.
When Gu Qingfeng finished the final stroke, a faint luminescence enveloped the blade, and all the blood eerily seeped into the sword slowly, disappearing in moments.
Observing the Evil Slayer Blade again, the blade which was formerly yellowish now bore an imperceptible tinge of blood, adding a somewhat sinister aura to it.
"This time, I have completed the first blade nourishment!"
Gu Qingfeng’s gaze landed on the Evil Slayer Blade, and upon completing the first nourishment, he felt like he was already sensing a faint connection with the Evil Slayer Blade.
But this connection was very feeble and not so readily noticeable.
Which was normal.
The Blade Nourishing Skills were not to be achieved overnight.
As time went on and nourishment continued, the results would naturally become evident.
...
The next day,
Gu Qingfeng met Gu Yang.
After advancing to the mid-level of Blood Refining, Gu Yang’s aura had become increasingly formidable, but more importantly, there was a subtle murderous aura about him.
This was a change brought about by excessive killing.
"Have you killed many people these past days?"
Gu Qingfeng took a sip from his teacup, then set his gaze upon Gu Yang.
Gu Yang nodded and said, "These people have caused chaos in the White Stone Dao and disregarded the reputation of the Gu Family Manor, wantonly slaughtering many. As their son, I must suppress them with iron-blooded measures.
Otherwise, if these people are allowed to continue their vicious acts, the White Stone Dao will inevitably fall into extreme disorder!"
When these words were spoken, the murderous intent on Gu Yang’s body became even more apparent.
Gu Qingfeng watched him for a few breaths and then slightly nodded.
"Mhm, these people deserved to be slain. Just be careful not to let the slaughter cloud your true nature, as it would be of no benefit to your cultivation."
"I understand that well enough!"
Gu Yang’s expression turned solemn, his face set with determination.
"Just as Father said, the order of this world is rotten to the core. Although the Gu Family Manor cannot govern the entire world, we can govern the White Stone Dao. To re-establish order in the White Stone Dao, we must stop slaughter with slaughter!"
