Chapter 123: The Fourth Level of the Prajna True Canon
Chapter 123: The Fourth Level of the Prajna True Canon
In the days that followed, Gu Qingfeng dedicated himself entirely to cultivation.
His primary focus was on two supreme techniques: the Crimson Flame Divine Art and the Prajna True Canon.
The Crimson Flame Divine Art had reached its fourth level of perfection, and breaking through to the fifth level would require more time and refinement.
As for the Prajna True Canon, Gu Qingfeng discovered that after perfecting his physical body through the Bone Refinement stage, the difficulties of the Skin Refinement, Blood Refinement, and Bone Refinement stages had significantly decreased.
In his view, this was because his physical body was already in a state of perfection, leaving no further room for refinement. Thus, breaking through these three stages was as simple as eating and drinking.
In less than a month, Gu Qingfeng had brought the Prajna True Canon to its third level of perfection.
However, despite the rapid breakthrough, there was almost no noticeable change in his overall strength.
Gu Qingfeng understood the reason for this. His physical body was already at its peak, leaving no room for further improvement, no matter how profound the Prajna True Canon was.
However, once he broke through to the fourth level and entered the Marrow Cleansing stage, things would be different.
So far, Gu Qingfeng had not yet achieved perfect Marrow Cleansing. As long as his Marrow Cleansing was not yet flawless, each cultivation technique he practiced in this stage would bring some improvement to his strength.
The extent of this improvement would depend on how well the cultivation technique could refine his marrow.
...
In the Sharpening Hall, Gu Qingfeng sat cross-legged, his blood energy surging like a mighty river, wave after wave impacting his physical body, much like the process of Marrow Cleansing.
However, Gu Qingfeng was indeed in the process of Marrow Cleansing.
To be precise, he was cleansing his marrow.
After more than half a year of practicing the Prajna True Canon, Gu Qingfeng was finally ready to break through to the fourth level.
His blood energy was now vast and powerful, continuously cleansing his bones and removing impurities, gradually bringing his body to a state of perfection.
After an unknown amount of time, Gu Qingfeng's body trembled, and a thin layer of dirt on his skin was shaken off.
His tightly closed eyes opened, and he exhaled a breath of turbid air.
"Phew!"
Then, he checked his attribute panel.
...
Prajna True Canon (Fourth Level Beginner, Prajna True Body Level 3)!
...
"Finally, I've broken through!"
A rare smile appeared on Gu Qingfeng's face. After half a year of intense cultivation, he had finally taken a crucial step, breaking through the third level barrier of the Prajna True Canon and entering the fourth level.
Upon reaching the fourth level, Gu Qingfeng truly experienced the power of this cultivation technique.
"The creator of the Prajna True Canon was no ordinary person. Setting aside other aspects, this technique has already reached a state of perfection in Marrow Cleansing. This means I won't need too many top-tier cultivation techniques to achieve perfect Marrow Cleansing!"
The Marrow Cleansing section of the Prajna True Canon was equivalent to the accumulation of several top-tier cultivation techniques. The moment he broke through to the fourth level, Gu Qingfeng immediately used enhancement points to further his progress.
...
"Ten enhancement points!"
"Prajna True Canon Fourth Level Minor Mastery!"
"Ten enhancement points!"
"Prajna True Canon Fourth Level Major Mastery!"
...
In a matter of moments, Gu Qingfeng had advanced the Prajna True Canon to its fourth level major mastery, nearing the level of perfection.
Gu Qingfeng felt his strength had increased by at least ten percent.
Then, he looked at the remaining three enhancement points, shook his head slightly, and decided against using them. Instead, he turned his attention to the information panel.
Six months had passed.
The information panel was constantly updating with new messages.
"Your offspring, Gu Yang, is continuously recruiting and expanding his forces, growing stronger!"
"Your offspring, Gu Yang, has slain 186 Low-Rank Skin Forging Warriors!"
"Your offspring, Gu Yang, has slain 78 Mid-Rank Skin Forging Warriors!"
"Your offspring, Gu Yang, has slain 1 High-Rank Blood Forging Warrior!"
"Your offspring, Gu Yang, has captured the Flowing Cloud Bandit Camp, gaining a significant amount of resources!"
"Your offspring, Gu Yang, has gained insight during battle, slightly improving his strength!"
"Your offspring, Gu Xuan, has made slight progress in the Gu Family Fist, slightly enhancing his strength!"
"Your offspring, Gu Xiu, has made slight progress in the Gu Family Fist, slightly enhancing his strength!"
"Your offspring, Gu Yang, is facing an attack from a high-rank Bone Tempering expert!"
"Your offspring, Gu Yang, is facing an attack from a mid-rank Bone Cleansing expert!"
"Your offspring—"
...
Over the past six months, a large amount of information had been updated, most of it related to Gu Yang, with occasional mentions of Gu Xuan and Gu Xiu.
However, Gu Xuan and Gu Xiu were mostly background characters. This was natural, as they were still young and primarily focused on training within the Gu Family Village, with little to no significant experiences to report.
On the other hand, Gu Yang's past six months had been anything but peaceful. He was either recruiting new members or attacking bandit camps, seizing resources from these outlaw factions.
In short, he was engaging in "black eats black" tactics.
Initially, such actions might go unnoticed, but as the frequency increased, it inevitably drew attention.
However, Gu Qingfeng wasn't overly concerned. After all, he had entrusted a hundred Dark Guards to Gu Yang, led by three commanders who were all at the peak of the fifth stage of Viscera Tempering. As long as no Grandmasters were involved, there shouldn't be any major issues.
Thus, despite the frequent updates on the information panel, including occasional attacks by Bone Cleansing experts, Gu Yang had managed to navigate the situation smoothly.
Moreover, Gu Yang was not a reckless person. Gu Qingfeng knew his son well enough to understand this.
...
Flowing Cloud Bandit Camp.
The camp was now littered with corpses. All the bandits had been slain, and Gu Yang's clothes were stained with blood. Before him stood a group of Dark Guards led by Gu Yi.
On the ground lay a man, his limbs twisted in unnatural angles, as if they had been forcibly broken.
Gu Yang looked at the man with a cold, indifferent gaze and said, "Tell me your purpose for being here, and I'll grant you a quick death."
"Haha, you'll regret crossing the Blood Spirit Sect. Don't even think about getting any information out of me—"
The man spat, causing Gu Yang's expression to turn colder.
Then, he turned to Gu Yi.
"Have your men interrogate him thoroughly. I need to know the relationship between the Blood Spirit Sect and the Flowing Cloud Bandit Camp, and who leaked our plans."
"Understood, sir!"
Gu Yi bowed and signaled his men. Immediately, the Dark Guards dragged the man away.
Soon, a series of agonized screams echoed from outside. The screams lasted for about fifteen minutes before finally ceasing. Another fifteen minutes passed, and the Dark Guard returned.
