Chapter 100: Establishing a Family
Chapter 100: Establishing a Family
The overwhelming power of the Calamity-Class malevolent spirits drove Gu Qingfeng to urgently enhance his strength. Even the upheavals in the outside world did not sway his resolve.
As Gu Qingfeng had predicted, the numerous prestigious families and sects in Guangyang Prefecture suffered heavy losses, with many powerful figures falling to the hands of the Evil Buddha. Consequently, the strength of the martial world in Guangyang Prefecture plummeted dramatically.
In this chaotic era, territory and resources were of utmost importance. As Guangyang Prefecture's strength declined, other martial forces outside the prefecture naturally set their sights on this region. Thus, many of these forces covertly dispatched their agents to infiltrate Guangyang Prefecture, aiming to gradually devour it.
However, the thousand-year-old prestigious families and sects of Guangyang Prefecture would not stand for this. These clans and sects had deep roots in the region, and allowing other forces to encroach would be akin to digging their own graves. They could not tolerate such a situation.
Conflict was inevitable, and it erupted without delay. Despite the significant losses, the thousand-year-old sects and families of Guangyang Prefecture managed to stabilize the situation, thanks to their deep-rooted influence.
On the other hand, the White Stone Path also faced the threat of other forces attempting to intervene. However, when Gu Qingfeng personally took action and swiftly slaughtered several powerful figures with his thunderous blade, the reputation of the Tyrant Blade once again spread far and wide. This deterred any other martial forces from attempting to encroach on the White Stone Path.
The might of a Near-Supreme was not to be underestimated. Moreover, the White Stone Path was not a top-tier force in Guangyang Prefecture, and the resources it controlled were limited. It was simply not worth the risk to clash head-on with a Near-Supreme over such a small territory.

In the blink of an eye, two years had passed. On this day, the Gu Family Manor was adorned with lanterns and streamers, and guests arrived in a steady stream. The reason for the celebration was the grand wedding of the young master of the Gu Family Manor.
At the banquet, many renowned martial forces from Guangyang Prefecture were present.
"I heard that the woman marrying the young master is of very ordinary background!"
"That's right. Many forces wanted to form an alliance with the Gu Family Manor, but the young master didn't approve of any of them. This woman must have truly transformed from a commoner into a phoenix to marry into the Gu Family Manor!"
"The Gu Family Manor's reputation has grown stronger over the years. Who doesn't know the name of Tyrant Blade Gu Qingfeng? Look at how stable the White Stone Path remains despite the chaos in Guangyang Prefecture!"
"Ah, I wonder what kind of celestial beauty could catch the young master's eye—"
Whispers and discussions filled the banquet hall, with most of the guests expressing envy for the woman marrying into the Gu Family Manor. After all, the Gu Family Manor was now a top-tier force, at least in Guangyang Prefecture. Its reputation rivaled that of the thousand-year-old sects and families. A Near-Supreme was no laughing matter, and many forces had tried to form alliances with the Gu Family Manor but failed to find a way in.
Unlike other forces, the Gu Family Manor, with its current influence, could choose to form alliances to strengthen its foundation or remain independent and pursue stable development. As long as the Tyrant Blade lived, no one would dare to harm the Gu Family Manor.
"Newlyweds have arrived!"
When the announcement came, all the whispers ceased, and everyone turned to look in one direction. The newlyweds were slowly making their way in. The groom stood tall and proud, with a sword-like brow and star-like eyes, exuding an air of heroism.
Anyone who witnessed this scene couldn't help but admire the young master, Gu Qingfeng, for his handsome and amiable demeanor.
However, everyone knew that despite his gentle appearance, Gu Qingfeng was a ruthless and formidable figure. He had achieved fame at a young age, and countless martial artists had met their end at his hands.
As for the other person, her face was obscured by a red veil, making it impossible to see clearly. However, the occasional breeze would lift the veil slightly, revealing a rather delicate and beautiful face.
When this face was revealed, many people showed disappointment.
Not because she was ugly.
In terms of appearance, the woman was quite attractive. However, given that her husband was the young master of the Gu family, she seemed somewhat mismatched.
"First, we bow to heaven and earth!"
"Second, we bow to the ancestors!"
"Third, the couple bows to each other!"
"The ceremony is complete—"
The entire wedding process went smoothly without any unexpected incidents. Gu Qingfeng, seated in the main position, looked at the person before him with a hint of satisfaction in his eyes.
To be frank, Gu Yang had been raised by him personally. Now, seeing his son start a family, it was impossible for him, as a father, to feel nothing.
Xu Yulan, who sat beside him, also wore a smile. After several years, her beauty had only grown more captivating.
...
"Your offspring, Gu Yang, has started a family (can only be triggered once)!"
"Reward: 30 Enhancement Points!"
...
Gu Qingfeng's expression flickered as he looked at the message on the information panel. He felt a mix of surprise and relief.
Indeed, his son's marriage was a significant event, and the reward given was quite generous.
At least, with 30 Enhancement Points, he could accomplish a lot.
...
The wedding feast lasted for seven days before the guests finally departed. The once bustling Gu Family Manor returned to its usual tranquility.
Gu Qingfeng sat alone in the Grinding Hall, his gaze fixed on his attribute panel.
...
Name: Gu Qingfeng
Age: 39/200
Realm: Second Stage of Internal Organ Refinement
Martial Arts: Gu Family Fist (Impenetrable Level 1), Iron Body Technique (Body as Hard as Iron Level 1), Great Mountain-Toppling Hand (Perfection), Iron Leg Technique (Perfection), Iron Finger Technique (Perfection), Scorching Sun Palm (Scorching Sun Palm Force Level 4), Heaven Thunder Sword Technique (Beginner), Indestructible Golden Body (Golden Body Unbreakable Level 9), Seven Killings Blade Technique (Killing Intent Level 2), Invincible Heavenly Body (Protective Aura Level 4), Immortal Heavenly Body (Eternal Body Level 1), Qingyang Technique (Ninth Level Perfection, Pure Yang Vitality Level 8), Five Organs Scripture (Second Level, Divine Organs Level 2), Mixed Treasure Mirror (Second Level, Iron-Strong Organs Level 2), Tyrant Blade Slash (Small Success, Tyrant Blade Intent Level 7)

...
Over the past two years, Gu Qingfeng had not changed much.
Neither the Five Organs Scripture nor the Mixed Treasure Mirror had seen significant breakthroughs.
This was inevitable.
Each step of Internal Organ Refinement was a major leap. Even so-called prodigies needed a long time to refine a single organ, and any mistakes could be catastrophic.
If the refinement of an organ went wrong, the consequences could range from severe injuries to death.
Moreover, Gu Qingfeng's talent was not on par with that of a prodigy, so his progress in Internal Organ Refinement had been limited.
However, in the case of the Qingyang Technique, Gu Qingfeng had used the two years to perfect this martial art.
