Chapter 125: The Ninth Level of the Crimson Flame Divine Art
Chapter 125: The Ninth Level of the Crimson Flame Divine Art
Gu Yang left.
He was digesting what Gu Qingfeng had said.
The martial arts of the world are flawed!
A perfect martial art!
Gu Yang felt a faint stirring in his heart, but being only in the late Blood Refinement stage, he naturally had little understanding of such concepts.
However,
he was doing his best to enhance his strength, using every bit of cultivation resource he could gather.
After all, in the past six months, by wiping out numerous bandit strongholds, Gu Yang had acquired a significant amount of resources.
Apart from secretly training his troops, the remaining resources were more than enough for his own use.
Gu Yang had a premonition.
At the fastest, he would break through to the Perfect Blood Refinement stage within half a year, and at the slowest, within a year.
Of course,
given the current state of the world,
even reaching the Perfect Blood Refinement stage would not be enough.
The higher you stand,
the farther you see.
To the weak, the small territory of the White Stone Dao is the entire world. But to the strong, even an entire province is nothing more than a minor matter.
Gu Yang, who aimed to conquer the world, naturally had a broader vision.
However,
one must eat bit by bit,
and walk step by step.
For now,
his primary focus should be breaking through to the Perfect Blood Refinement stage.

On the other side,
in the Forge Hall.
Gu Qingfeng was not overly concerned about the Blood Spirit Sect.
Ever since the battle in Flowing Cloud Prefecture, he had a clearer understanding of his own strength.
The Blood Spirit Sect,
at best, was on par with the Crimson Flame Sect.
To be honest,
with Gu Qingfeng's current strength, he had absolute confidence in being able to destroy the Crimson Flame Sect.
However,
destroying the Crimson Flame Sect was easy, but the subsequent troubles would be significant.
After all,
this world belonged to the sorcerers.
If a martial artist were to strike against a sorcerer, they would be fighting against all the sorcerers in the world.
This was different from the previous annihilation of the Divine Fist Sect.
Gu Qingfeng had acted against the Divine Fist Sect due to longstanding enmities, and his demonstrated strength was enough to make various factions wary.
If not for the prior enmity and Gu Qingfeng's overwhelming power, the annihilation of the Divine Fist Sect would have brought significant trouble to the Gu Family Estate.
"Ultimately!"
"It comes down to strength!"
"With my current strength, I don't have the right to openly challenge the sorcerers, but if my martial arts can break through further, these problems will no longer exist!"
Gu Qingfeng's eyes were cold.
The sorcerers' sects controlled almost all the top-secret manuals, and for whatever reason, Gu Qingfeng had to take action against these forces.
However,
the time was not right yet.
Subsequently,
Gu Qingfeng closed his eyes and began to channel his blood energy, refining his body and bones, and cultivating the Bodhi True Scripture.
Circulating blood energy!
Flowing through his body!
His bones trembled in unison, the marrow within vibrating, and minute impurities, almost imperceptible to the naked eye, were gradually expelled from his bones.
This process repeated itself.
Gu Qingfeng's cultivation slowly but steadily improved.
---
Time passed swiftly.
In the blink of an eye, half a year had gone by.
During this half year,
Gu Qingfeng spent most of his time cultivating in the Forge Hall, but through the information panel, he could keep track of what Gu Yang was doing.
Additionally,
from the reports of his secret guards, he learned about the changes in the current martial world.
In the past six months,
the Divine Martial King Pei Jing had launched a massive military campaign, bringing the entire Flowing Cloud Prefecture under his control.
After securing Flowing Cloud Prefecture, the Divine Martial Army seemed to have calmed down, as if the war had come to an end.
But those with keen eyes could see through the facade.
The current calm is merely a harbinger of the storm to come.
After capturing the Cloudhaven Manor, the Divine Martial Army also needs to regroup and reorganize. Once they are ready, a powerful offensive will surely follow.
It’s simple.
The situation in Central Province is becoming increasingly volatile. Peyton Jing is keen to seize control of the entire Greenhaven Manor as quickly as possible, then gradually take over the Mount Tai Prefecture, and eventually bring the entire Azure Province under his control.
While the Cloudhaven Manor appears peaceful, Gideon Yang is secretly amassing strength.
Over the past six months, Gideon Yang has continued to send his secret guards to eliminate bandits and gather resources for training his troops.
Initially, Gideon Yang was wary of the Blood Spirit Sect. However, after Gideon Qingfeng’s reassurance, he has put his fears to rest. Since the Blood Spirit Sect is no longer a significant threat, there’s no need to worry so much.
He thought such actions would enrage the Blood Spirit Sect, but over the past six months, the sect has seemingly vanished, leaving Gideon Yang both disappointed and relieved.
“Phew!”
Gideon Qingfeng exhaled deeply, his flesh and blood coursing with energy, his bones cracking like thunder.
“It seems the Perfection of the Prajna Sutra will still take some time!”
Gideon Qingfeng shook his head slightly.
Although the Prajna Sutra has not yet reached perfection, his progress with the Crimson Flame Divine Art has been significant over the past six months. Since breaking through to the fifth level four months ago, he has rapidly advanced, breaking through several barriers to reach the ninth level of the Crimson Flame Divine Art.
Only after breaking through to the ninth level did Gideon Qingfeng truly understand that the ninth level of the Crimson Flame Divine Art marks the point where true energy begins to naturally generate, allowing one to advance to the rank of an Innate Grandmaster.
The legendary tenth level, however, requires gradual refinement.
After reaching the ninth level, Gideon Qingfeng’s blood and qi are as fiery as the blazing sun, and his meridians are constantly filled with a scorching heat, from which subtle power is born.
This power, in Gideon Qingfeng’s view, is true energy.
This true energy gradually converges towards his lower Dantian.
Unfortunately, his Dantian has not yet opened, and despite the constant impact of the true energy, it cannot break through the barrier.
According to Gideon Qingfeng’s estimation, only when the true energy accumulates to a certain level and fully opens the Dantian will he truly reach the tenth level of the Crimson Flame Divine Art and become an Innate Grandmaster.
As for how long this will take, Gideon Qingfeng can’t accurately predict. Given the rate at which the true energy is generated, it might take several years, or even a decade, to break through to the Innate Grandmaster level.
Gideon Qingfeng couldn’t help but shake his head at this.
“Spending a decade to gain the chance to break through to the Grandmaster level is something most people would be willing to do. After all, there are few Grandmasters in the world, which shows how difficult it is to reach this level.
However, if I have enough enhancement points, I won’t need to wait that long!”
While he said this, Gideon Qingfeng also understood that if he had enough enhancement points, it might be better to focus on perfecting his physical body first before breaking through to the Innate Grandmaster level.
True energy generated at the Innate Grandmaster level is not necessarily stronger than a perfectly refined physical body.
Before reaching the Grandmaster level, there are several stages of body refinement, such as the Five Viscera Refinement and the Bone Marrow Cleansing.
Therefore, if he can achieve perfect body refinement, Gideon Qingfeng believes his strength will be far greater than if he were to break through to the Innate Grandmaster level right now.
