NOVPUB"Blade Intent is eternal!"
"This is the True Intent of a Master!"
"It appears this person is not a mere Little Master, but someone comparable to a half-step Master!"
Ouyang Lie’s face was also unusually solemn.
A Little Master and a half-step Master might both involve the word ’Master,’ but the former is nowhere near comparable to the latter.
Half-step Master!
Only those who have comprehended the True Intent of a true Master qualify to be called a half-step Master.
Such level of power is sky-high, and even if compared to an ordinary Master, the difference wouldn’t be much.
Upon hearing Ouyang Lie’s words, the expressions of the others also changed.
"Does the Sect Master mean to say that the person has already grasped the true True Intent of a Master?"
"Half-step Master... It’s been many years since Guangyang Prefecture had such a level of power!"
"If such a being breaks through to Master, they might achieve True Intent Master in one go—"
Even masters like Gu Xin and Zhu Ming were shocked by this revelation.
Master!
There is a distinction.
A Master who hasn’t comprehended the True Intent of a Master can only be considered an ordinary Master.
But even such ordinary Masters can only be matched by top Inmates in the Spirit-controlling Realm.
A Master who has comprehended the Master’s True Intent can then be called a True Intent Master.
True Intent Master.
That is superior to an ordinary Master.
Such beings.
Cannot be handled by anyone below the Spirit-controlling Realm.
However,
Comprehending True Intent is difficult, and elevating it to the Master level is even more arduous.
But now that Gu Qingfeng has comprehended the Master’s True Intent, if he truly advances to Master, he could directly become a True Intent Master.
Not to mention Guangyang Prefecture, even in the entire Taishan County, those who can step into the level of Master are few and far between, and True Intent Masters are even rarer.
"We must not let this person live, or if he ascends to True Intent Master, my Red Flame Sect will face great trouble!"
Gu Xin’s face bore a stern intention to kill.
Initially, he hadn’t cared much about Wen Jiao’s death, but now that he realized Gu Qingfeng’s strength, fear also arose in Gu Xin’s heart.
Such a strong person.
If we do not kill him early,
What survival is there for the Red Flame Sect if he breaks through to Master?
Ouyang Lie stood up, his palm wounds had disappeared, and his expression had returned to its usual indifference.
"To slay a half-step Master, our Red Flame Sect would have to pay a colossal price since even if I personally take action now, I am not assured of fully killing this person.
If we attack as a group, how many of you would have to be sacrificed?"
Ouyang Lie’s words made Gu Xin’s expression stiffen and the expressions of the others also involuntarily turned grave.
Indeed, as they said, to slay a half-step Master, an enormous price must be paid.
"The Taixuan Dynasty is already setting like the sun, and with heroes rising together everywhere, if the Red Flame Sect suffers heavy losses now, we might soon face the slaughter of other sects and noble clans.
Therefore, we must plan extensively on this matter!"
Ouyang Lie said this and paused for a moment before he continued speaking.
"So the matter of Wen Jiao, let’s put it aside for now, now is not the time to fight to the death with a half-step Master."
"As for advancing further to become a True Intent Master, that isn’t something achievable in a short span, as I believe you are all aware of how difficult the fifth realm of Refining Organ is."
"Without conquering the fifth realm of Refining Organ, how can one qualify to attempt for Master."
"Moreover, how many martial artists across the world have spent decades, even a century, to break through the fifth realm of Refining Organ; as long as this person does not become a Master, he ultimately poses no significant threat to our Red Flame Sect,"
"And by the time he becomes a Master, perhaps our Red Flame Sect will have produced a top-tier individual from the Spirit-controlling Realm or even someone beyond Spirit-controlling!"
The words fell.
The grand hall suddenly grew quiet.
Everyone understood Ouyang Lie’s plan.
At this time,
Zhu Ming took a deep breath and nodded, "What the Sect Master said is true. In these chaotic times, it is the perfect opportunity for us to rise."
"During the last major power transition when the previous dynasty was overthrown, many millennia-old families took advantage of the chaos to rise and advance even further."
"Now, at the end of another dynasty, with yet another world transition, our Red Flame Sect can seize this opportunity to become an ancient sect that lasts for ten thousand years!"
The previous dynasty had established its rule across the world for three thousand six hundred years.
The Taixuan Dynasty has stood for three thousand years so far.
For a dynasty, three thousand years or so is a cycle. Throughout history, few dynasties have lasted more than four thousand years.
Therefore,
Waiting for an era of chaos is not easy.
Even though magicians have long lives, ordinary magicians do not achieve true immortality.
Three thousand years.
That’s enough time for many magicians to return to dust.
Even magicians in the Spirit-controlling Realm only have a mere eight hundred years of life.
Only by breaking through the Spirit-controlling Realm and reaching the next level can one have a lifespan of over a thousand years.
And without the end of a dynasty, when the world transitions, it’s not easy for various sects and clans to progress further.
Therefore,
As Zhu Ming finished speaking, many already had thoughts in their minds.
The remaining elders of Red Flame Peak, although reluctant, were also helpless at this point.
——
Outside the ancient city, with an army stationed, and between the army and the ancient city, there were corpses everywhere and un-dried mottled bloodstains on the city walls, indicating a fierce battle had recently occurred.
In the central camp of the Divine Martial Army.
Pei Jing looked at the secret letter in his hand, his expression slightly solemn.
"Half-step Master!"
"This person has hidden himself deep enough!"
The secret letter he held was indeed about Gu Qingfeng.
Originally, Pei Jing had almost forgotten about the existence of Gu Qingfeng, after all, the Gu Family was originally just a family founded by a Blood Refining martial artist, hardly worth mentioning.
Previously when he sent the Black Xuan Guard to recruit him and failed, a captain fell there. Although Pei Jing was angry, he didn’t care too much.
He just planned to wait until he took over Guangyang Prefecture and then annihilate the Gu Family.
But unexpectedly,
In just a short amount of time,
The Blood Refining Ant he could have crushed at will has now become a Half-step Master.
Domineering Blade Gu Qingfeng!
Even Pei Jing was somewhat shocked when he received this news.
The concept of a Half-step Master was crystal clear to him, as he himself was an Innate Grandmaster but had yet to comprehend the Master’s True Intent.
Because comprehending the True Intent of a Master is difficult, even with Pei Jing’s talent, stepping into this realm is not easy.
As a result,
Now someone has cultivated the True Intent of a Master without being a Master.
Such a person was hard to ignore.
"If this person could be of use to me, he would be a tremendous help!"
