Chapter 147: The Heavenly Pulse Canon
Chapter 147: The Heavenly Pulse Canon
War!
Sometimes it's as simple and straightforward as that.
There's no grand strategy or elaborate plans. In a world where strength is the ultimate authority, power is the root of everything.
When the high-ranking officers of an army are assassinated or turned traitors, how much resistance can the army still muster?
This was a truth Gu Yang understood well.
So, to prevent others from emulating his tactics, Gu Yang wouldn't send all his hidden guards out. He would keep at least one or two innate grandmasters by his side to prevent any unforeseen issues.
With two fully accomplished innate grandmasters guarding him, there would be no major problems unless a grandmaster or a top-tier true intent grandmaster decided to intervene.
After all, Gu Yang wasn't just protected by grandmasters; he now commanded hundreds of thousands of troops.
Thus, as long as the enemy couldn't strike decisively, they would face certain death once surrounded by his army.
Despite appearing to have developed his power base in just a few years and not even controlling a single region, Gu Yang's true strength and resources far exceeded those of many other factions.

Meanwhile, the hidden guards didn't take long to retrieve the items.
The golden coffin containing the evil entity was thrown into the Demon Suppression Prison by Gu Qingfeng, who then released the entity and crushed it with his overwhelming power.
These things were nothing but Calamities, and Gu Qingfeng couldn't afford to ignore them.
Next, he examined the martial arts techniques and a special cultivation method from the Crimson Flame Sect.
"The Heavenly Pulse Canon!"
"So this is the mysterious legacy that Yang obtained—"
Gu Qingfeng examined the Heavenly Pulse Canon in his hands. He noticed that the material it was written on was unusual. He tried to tear it slightly but found it completely resistant.
This made Gu Qingfeng even more astonished.
At his level, even a single finger could exert immense force, enough to destroy even the most legendary weapons. Yet, this paper remained unharmed, indicating its extraordinary nature.
Then, Gu Qingfeng focused on the content of the Heavenly Pulse Canon.
Half an hour later, he came to his senses.
His eyes were a mix of three parts amazement and seven parts doubt.
"Condensing nine Heavenly Pulses can enhance one's combat power by nine times!"
"Is there really such an extraordinary cultivation method in the world?"
Gu Qingfeng found it hard to believe.
Like Gu Yang, he was skeptical about the authenticity of the Heavenly Pulse Canon.
However, when he checked his attribute panel, he was stunned.
A new line of text had appeared:
---
Heavenly Pulse Canon (Not Mastered)!
---
"This cultivation method is real!"
Gu Qingfeng's expression changed again.
Since it was recorded in the attribute panel, it meant the Heavenly Pulse Canon was genuine.
The attribute panel was a reliable method to verify the authenticity of cultivation methods and martial arts techniques.
If a technique was false or fabricated, it wouldn't be recorded in the attribute panel, and vice versa.
With this thought, Gu Qingfeng tried to advance the Heavenly Pulse Canon.
However, the Heavenly Pulse Canon remained unchanged.
At the same time, Gu Qingfeng understood why it was so difficult to advance.
"The first level requires one hundred advancement points, while even a grandmaster-level martial art only needs fifty. Could it be that the Heavenly Pulse Canon's rank is on par with a grandmaster-level cultivation method?"
Gu Qingfeng found this situation quite normal. If the Heavenly Pulse Canon was genuine, then the martial arts master who created it must have been extraordinary. Calling him a grandmaster didn't seem like an exaggeration.
However, one hundred enhancement points were currently beyond Gu Qingfeng's reach. He had only thirteen points to his name, at most.
To gain more enhancement points, either Gu Yang or others needed to make a breakthrough in their cultivation, or they needed to achieve something significant. Achievements were hard to come by, and so far, Gu Yang had only triggered them a couple of times.
On the other hand, making a cultivation breakthrough was much easier. Gu Yang and Gu Xuan were both at the peak of their current realms. A breakthrough for Gu Yang would lead him to the Bone Tempering Realm, while a breakthrough for Gu Xuan would lead him to the Blood Tempering Realm.
As for Gu Shengnan, she was still too young.
"However, Yang should try to have more children now. Once his cultivation advances further, it will become much harder to have offspring," Gu Qingfeng thought to himself.
Gu Yang's current situation was much better than his own had been. Back then, Gu Qingfeng had no backing and had to support the entire Gu family on his own. Being cautious was necessary, and having a large family was a risky move.
But things were different now. Gu Yang had the entire Gu Family Manor behind him and a father who could rival a grandmaster. Having more descendants would be much less of a problem.
With this in mind, Gu Qingfeng summoned Gu Peng.
"Servant greets the old manor lord!"
"Tell Yang to take the opportunity to have more children and strengthen our family lineage."
"…Understood, sir!"
Gu Peng was taken aback, not expecting Gu Qingfeng to call him for such a request. After a brief moment of surprise, he bowed and left. He would do as Gu Qingfeng said, knowing his place clearly.
After Gu Peng left, Gu Qingfeng turned his attention to the numerous martial arts techniques of the Crimson Flame Sect.
The Secret Technique for Purifying Evil into the Body!
A Supreme Martial Art!
Indeed, the Crimson Flame Sect, a thousand-year-old sect, was no ordinary force, even if it only dominated the Guangyang Prefecture. The martial arts here, while lacking grandmaster-level techniques, were still plentiful and covered various realms, including the Viscera Tempering stage.
Gu Qingfeng began to study these techniques, feeling the profound insights left by previous practitioners. This helped him advance in his quest to perfect his martial path.
…
"Your descendant 'Gu Yang' defeated the imperial coalition, gaining great renown!"
"Your descendant 'Gu Yang' captured five cities in three days, significantly expanding his influence!"
"Your descendant 'Gu Xuan' gained some insight in his martial arts, slightly improving his strength!"
"Your descendant 'Gu Shengnan' purified her bones, slightly enhancing her potential!"
"Your descendant 'Gu Yang' slew 697 Skin Tempering Realm warriors!"
"Your descendant 'Gu Yang' defeated the remnants of the Divine Martial Army, slaying many enemies!"
"Your descendant 'Gu Yang' slew 1,786 Divine Martial Army soldiers!"
"Your descendant…"
…
During his leisure time in the Sharpening Hall, Gu Qingfeng watched the information panel, his eyebrows slightly raised. From the information panel, it was clear that Gu Yang had been busy and had killed many people recently.
