Chapter 149: Seizing Guangyang Prefecture
Chapter 149: Seizing Guangyang Prefecture
Heavenly Pulse True Scripture (First Level)!
...
Gu Qingfeng examined his body internally, and he saw that a blood-colored network had formed within him. This network was different from his other meridians, exuding an ancient and primal aura.
The Heavenly Pulse!
This is the Heavenly Pulse mentioned in the Heavenly Pulse True Scripture.
Feeling the profound energy within the Heavenly Pulse, he could already sense its extraordinary nature.
Immediately,
Gu Qingfeng tried to activate the Heavenly Pulse.
In an instant,
The Heavenly Pulse trembled.
An unprecedented surge of power awakened within it, connecting him to the heavens and earth. In that moment, Gu Qingfeng's physical strength and blood qi soared.
After a brief moment,
The power gradually subsided.
Gu Qingfeng let out a long breath, his face filled with uncontainable excitement.
So this is the Heavenly Pulse!
This channel can connect with the heavens and earth, allowing one to borrow their power. No wonder the formation of the Heavenly Pulse greatly enhances a warrior's strength!
Heavenly Pulse, Heavenly Pulse!
The most important aspect lies in the 'Heaven' part.
This network can communicate with the heavens and earth.
At the moment he activated the Heavenly Pulse, Gu Qingfeng felt the immense power of the heavens and earth for the first time.
According to the Heavenly Pulse True Scripture, each Heavenly Pulse formed can double one's strength.
Before truly mastering the Heavenly Pulse True Scripture, Gu Qingfeng had been skeptical.
But now,
He had no doubt.
The immense power of the Heavenly Pulse proved that the descriptions in the Heavenly Pulse True Scripture were not exaggerated.
After the initial shock,
Gu Qingfeng's expression changed slightly.
Given the power of the Heavenly Pulse True Scripture, the strong individual who created this martial art must have been an unfathomable existence, at least a Grandmaster level.
And with the strength of such a powerful individual, if they were to form all nine Heavenly Pulses, they would be virtually invincible in the world.
Gu Qingfeng had truly witnessed the power of the Heavenly Pulse True Scripture.
He was curious about who had created the Heavenly Pulse True Scripture.
Normally,
If someone had created the Heavenly Pulse True Scripture, they would not be an unknown figure.
However,
There were many powerful individuals in the past, but Gu Qingfeng had never heard of the Heavenly Pulse True Scripture.
From what he could tell, Grandmasters could live for eight hundred years, so the creator of the Heavenly Pulse True Scripture might have already passed away.
Shaking his head,
Gu Qingfeng put the matter aside for now.
The origin and creator of the Heavenly Pulse True Scripture were not as important to him at the moment.
What truly mattered was that the Heavenly Pulse True Scripture could indeed enhance his strength, and that was enough.
Next,
Gu Qingfeng looked at his attribute panel to see how many enhancement points were needed to advance the Heavenly Pulse True Scripture to the second level.
But the next moment,
His eyebrows furrowed.
One thousand enhancement points!
Ten times the increase—
Gu Qingfeng's pupils dilated.
From the initial requirement of one hundred enhancement points to form the first Heavenly Pulse, he already knew that advancing further would require a significant number of enhancement points.
One thousand enhancement points.
Just to form the second Heavenly Pulse.
Clearly,
This was on par with breaking through to the Grandmaster level in a Grandmaster martial art.
From this,
Gu Qingfeng suspected that the Heavenly Pulse True Scripture might be of a higher tier than Grandmaster martial arts.
Unfortunately,
The attribute panel had not yet shown the martial art tiers.
So,
Gu Qingfeng could only speculate about the tier of the Heavenly Pulse True Scripture.
Afterward,
Gu Qingfeng glanced at the information panel and continued his closed-door cultivation.
---
"Bone Refinement stage completed!"
In the secret chamber, Gu Yang opened his eyes, a sharp and lethal intent flashing in them. The domineering and deadly aura he emitted made people wary.
Breaking through to the Bone Tempering stage.
He wasn't as excited as he had anticipated.
It felt as if this breakthrough was inevitable.
In fact, it was.
Gu Yang had never doubted his ability to break through to the Bone Tempering stage.
His goal was at least to reach the Grandmaster level.
After all, his father was a renowned Grandmaster, and even if Gu Yang couldn't match his father, he should at least achieve the Grandmaster level.
In the past, Gu Yang's ambitions weren't as grand.
But with the rise of his faction and the strength and reputation Gu Qingfeng had displayed, as the current head of Gu Family Manor, Gu Yang was naturally unwilling to fall behind.
Not to mention the Grandmaster level.
At the very least, he had to reach the Master level.
With his cultivation breakthrough, Gu Yang immediately emerged from seclusion.
In the hall, the sandbox map showed that half of Guangyang Prefecture was now under his control.
The flag of the Gu Family Army had completely overwhelmed the imperial forces and the Divine Martial Army.
Moreover, with the fall of Pei Jing and the subsequent chaos within the Divine Martial Army, many generals were vying for power, hoping to declare themselves kings.
Unfortunately for them, under the iron cavalry led by Gu Yang, these factions were one by one crushed, and none could stand against the advance of the Gu Family Army.
This was to be expected.
After all, the Gu Family Army now numbered nearly six hundred thousand, with the Dark Guards, a top-tier force, providing covert support.
It wasn't just Guangyang Prefecture.
Even the entire Tai Shan Commandery would be within reach of such a formidable force.
From the time Gu Yang raised his army to now, controlling half of Guangyang Prefecture, only two months had passed.
Looking at the military commanders and the Dark Guard leader in the hall, Gu Yang spoke solemnly, "I want Guangyang Prefecture to have only one voice, the voice of the Gu Family Army. Can you all achieve this within a month?"
"Your subordinates are willing to die for you, Lord!"
The commanders responded in unison.
They were not part of Gu Family Manor, so they didn't need to call Gu Yang "Manor Lord."
With a wave of his hand, Gu Yang said, "Consolidate the army. I want to take control of the entire Guangyang Prefecture within a month!"
"Yes, Lord!"
The commanders saluted and accepted the order.
...
Half a day later, the army was on the move again.
This time, Gu Yang divided his forces into three routes, aiming to capture the remaining territories of Guangyang Prefecture.
With the might of his iron cavalry and the covert operations of the Dark Guards, the resistance in Guangyang Prefecture was greatly weakened. In just twenty days, the imperial forces and the Divine Martial Army were completely routed.
Thus, Guangyang Prefecture fell under Gu Yang's control.
The news of Guangyang Prefecture's fall spread quickly, reaching all the prefectures in Tai Shan Commandery.
Holding the intelligence reports in their hands, many people were shocked.
From the time Gu Yang raised his army to the complete fall of Guangyang Prefecture, it took less than three months.
Such momentum was even stronger than Pei Jing's.
After all, Pei Jing's rapid rise was due to the support of the Pei family, who controlled the entire commandery. In comparison, while the Gu Family Manor had a Grandmaster, he had rarely intervened.
The swift fall of Guangyang Prefecture, in the eyes of other factions, was entirely due to Gu Yang's own strength and tactics.
This left them in awe.
