Chapter 148: Bloodline Veins
"Grandmaster of Martial Arts!"
"I never thought that after so many years, another Grandmaster would emerge in the world of martial arts—"
Inside the Divine Martial Sect, a towering, muscular man heard this news, his tiger-like eyes flashing with power, and a strong aura emanating from his body.
He was Gu Yun, the current Sect Leader of the Divine Martial Sect.
"A Grandmaster-level powerhouse hasn't appeared in years. This news might not be true," an elder of the Divine Martial Sect shook his head, expressing his doubts.
The other elders nodded in agreement.
They were all well aware of how difficult it was to achieve the Grandmaster level.
Moreover, according to the information they had, Gu Qingfeng had no notable reputation in the past. It was only after he eradicated the Divine Fist Sect and was suspected to be a True Intention Grandmaster that he gained some recognition.
Now, after such a short time, a warrior who was previously suspected to be a True Intention Grandmaster was suddenly a Grandmaster-level powerhouse.
Such news would make anyone skeptical.
Gu Yun shook his head and said, "Regardless of whether the news is true or not, we cannot afford to ignore it. In this world, where sorcerers are revered and martial arts are in decline, the significance of a Grandmaster is clear to all of us."
"Moreover, this news has already spread. The immortal sects and noble families will not sit idly by. If we can bring him back to our Divine Martial Sect and have him inherit the legacy left by our ancestors, perhaps we can lead the Divine Martial Sect to a resurgence."
Reviving the Divine Martial Sect!
This was Gu Yun's lifelong goal.
Unfortunately, the Divine Martial Sect had been in decline for a long time. While each generation produced Grandmasters, they never advanced beyond that level.
As for Grandmaster-level powerhouses, the Divine Martial Sect hadn't seen one in ages.
There had been rumors of Grandmasters appearing in the martial world in the past, but by the time the Divine Martial Sect arrived, these Grandmasters had already vanished without a trace.
But Gu Yun was well aware that these Grandmasters had all fallen into the hands of the immortal sects and noble families.
So, when news from Qingyun Province reached him, Gu Yun found it hard to contain his excitement.
Looking at the elders before him, Gu Yun spoke gravely, "I have decided to go to Qingyun Province myself. Matters within the sect will be temporarily handled by Elder Yue Feng."
"The Sect Leader's position is too important to risk!"
"That's right, the Divine Martial Sect is a thorn in the side of many factions. If the Sect Leader leaves, we will face significant trouble!"
"Please reconsider, Sect Leader!"
The moment Gu Yun finished speaking, the other elders' expressions changed, and they hurriedly tried to dissuade him.
However, Gu Yun firmly dismissed their concerns and decided to set out for Qingyun Province immediately.
The news from Qingyun Province had already spread, and other factions would likely take action as well.
Therefore, Gu Yun had to reach Qingyun Province before the other sects.
---
"Your offspring 'Gu Yang' has defeated the imperial army, significantly increasing his forces!"
"Your offspring 'Gu Yang' has broken through to the initial stage of Bone Tempering!"
"Reward: 100 Enhancement Points!"
"Reward: 100 Bone Tempering Pills!"
"Reward: 100 Marrow Washing Pills!"
"Reward: 10 Viscera Tempering Pills!"
"Your offspring 'Gu Yang' has slain 566 imperial soldiers!"
"Your offspring 'Gu Yang' has slain 3 Bone Tempering warriors!"
...
"Yang has broken through!"
Gu Qingfeng was momentarily taken aback, but then his expression relaxed.
Although Gu Yang's breakthrough this time was much faster than usual, it was still understandable.
After all, Gu Qingfeng had given him all the medicinal pills that could be used, and the experience of battling and surviving in the field had made it easier for him to comprehend the path of martial arts.
With the Gu Family Army now conquering territories far and wide, Gu Yang must surely have access to a vast array of resources.
So.
It was only natural for Gu Yang to have made a breakthrough.
"Indeed, the improvement points gained from Yang's breakthrough are significantly higher. If it were anyone else breaking through to the Bone Tempering stage, the improvement points would likely be less than half of what we've received."
Gu Qingfeng mused to himself.
As his firstborn, every advancement Gu Yang made brought about a generous reward.
This was something no one else could match.
Thus.
Gu Qingfeng held his son in the highest regard.
Now.
With one hundred improvement points in hand, Gu Qingfeng glanced at his attribute panel, surveying the numerous martial arts he had mastered.
After a moment, he shook his head slightly.
"At this point, the only martial arts I can enhance with these improvement points are the Sun and Moon Fist Scripture and the Heavenly Meridian True Scripture!"
It couldn't be helped.
Most of his other martial arts were already at their peak, or they had already undergone one or two breakthroughs.
If he were to further enhance or break the limits of these martial arts, the required improvement points would be astronomical, making such an endeavor impractical.
More importantly.
Gu Qingfeng had already achieved Perfect Body Tempering.
No matter how many more lower-tier martial arts he mastered, it wouldn't bring any significant change to his strength.
Only breakthroughs in Grandmaster or higher-tier martial arts would make a difference.
However.
To break the limits of a Viscera Tempering martial art and advance it to a Grandmaster martial art, it would require five hundred improvement points.
If it were to break the limits of a Grandmaster martial art and advance it to a Great Grandmaster martial art, it would require a thousand improvement points.
Neither of these options was feasible for Gu Qingfeng at the moment.
So.
The concept of breaking limits in martial arts had to be put on hold.
As for the Sun and Moon Fist Scripture, to be honest, even if he enhanced it, the boost to his strength would be limited.
A Grandmaster-level fist technique might seem impressive, but it was only so much.
The Tyrant Blade Slash, also a Grandmaster martial art, had already been enhanced to its peak stage by Gu Qingfeng.
At its maximum level, the Tyrant Blade Slash was far more powerful than the Sun and Moon Fist Scripture.
Unless.
The Sun and Moon Fist Scripture could also reach its peak stage.
Thus.
Gu Qingfeng turned his attention to the final option: the Heavenly Meridian True Scripture.
The Nine Heavenly Meridians.
Unmatched in combat power!
Gu Qingfeng had tried to cultivate the Heavenly Meridian True Scripture, but he found it incredibly difficult, even to condense the first heavenly meridian.
To this day, he hadn't even touched the threshold of the Heavenly Meridian True Scripture.
"Let me see if the Heavenly Meridian True Scripture is as powerful as described!"
Gu Qingfeng's eyes flickered, and he immediately enhanced the Heavenly Meridian True Scripture.
In an instant, the one hundred improvement points vanished, and the Heavenly Meridian True Scripture advanced from unmastered to the first level.
The next moment.
A flood of memories surged within him, as if he had cultivated the Heavenly Meridian True Scripture for hundreds or even thousands of years. His physical blood and qi surged like a mighty river, and his body felt as if it were a blazing furnace, with terrifying blood and qi forces converging at a specific point within his body.
His flesh trembled.
His tendons and bones resonated.
In that moment.
Gu Qingfeng's physical body underwent a profound transformation, with powerful blood and qi waves crashing over him one after another.
Finally—
A blood-colored meridian condensed.
Barbaric!
Ancient!
This meridian was unlike the ordinary meridians of humans, yet it exuded a mysterious and terrifying aura.
