Chapter 150: The Longevity Art
Chapter 150: The Longevity Art
"Your offspring, Gu Yang, has occupied Guangyang Prefecture, significantly increasing his power!"
"Your offspring, Gu Yang, has gained some fame!"
"Your offspring, Gu Yang, has been attacked by three Viscera Refinement Realm warriors!"
"Your offspring, Gu Yang, has..."
...
"It seems he's succeeded!"
Gu Qingfeng glanced at the information panel. When he saw that Gu Yang had indeed occupied Guangyang Prefecture, he understood that his son had taken a crucial step forward. To compete for the world, one needed at least a prefecture as a foundation. Without such a base, how could one even dream of ruling the land?
The only thing that made Gu Qingfeng feel a bit regretful was that Gu Yang's occupation of Guangyang Prefecture did not trigger any achievements. Despite this, Gu Qingfeng quickly dismissed his disappointment. Achievements were hard to trigger, and the fact that occupying Guangyang Prefecture didn't count meant it wasn't impactful enough. He was confident that when Gu Yang occupied Taishan Commandery, Qingyun Province, or even the entire world, achievements would certainly be triggered. And if it was an achievement for ruling the world, the rewards would undoubtedly be extremely generous.
Taking a deep breath, Gu Qingfeng refocused his thoughts and looked at his attribute panel.

...
This was Gu Qingfeng's current attribute panel.
In the panel, many lower-grade martial arts had disappeared, replaced by a new martial art called the Longevity Art. This martial art was the true, perfect martial path that Gu Qingfeng had created by synthesizing the best elements of the world's various martial arts.
However, the Longevity Art was currently only at the first level, which focused on skin refinement. To advance further, Gu Qingfeng needed to continue refining and perfecting it. Despite this, even as a lower-grade martial art, the Longevity Art could trigger special characteristics when perfected. Normally, a martial art needed to be at least of middle grade to trigger such characteristics, but the Longevity Art was different. It could trigger the Longevity characteristic at the lower-grade level, specifically the characteristic of extending one's lifespan by a hundred years through perfect skin refinement.
As the saying goes, the hardest part is getting started. Now that Gu Qingfeng had created the first step of the Longevity Art, the next steps would be much easier. At the very least, refining the Longevity Art to the level of Viscera Refinement Fifth Stage would not be too difficult. This was because Gu Qingfeng himself was a Supreme Master, and he could draw upon his own experience to refine the art further, rather than starting from scratch.

Rewritten Text:
In comparison, creating something entirely new or reaching an uncharted realm would be ten times more difficult, if not more.
The reason this martial art is called the Eternal Life Scripture is because it has the potential to lead to eternal life through perfect martial cultivation.
Eternal life!
This is also Gu Qingfeng's own pursuit.
Afterward, Gu Qingfeng continued to study and refine the martial arts.
The first level of the Eternal Life Scripture is just the beginning. To bring forth the perfect martial path, he needs to create a cultivation technique that can reach the fifth level of the Internal Purification stage at the very least.
After all, with the situation of the perfect martial path, if one can complete the fifth level of Internal Purification, their life essence can transform, and their combat strength would be on par with what is currently known as a Grandmaster.
Even more so, it wouldn't be a stretch to say they could rival the top Grandmasters.
Back when Gu Qingfeng had not yet successfully completed the perfect Internal Purification, he was still able to instantly kill a Fusion Spirit Realm sorcerer, largely due to the power of the Overlord Saber True Intent.
A powerful foundation.
Combined with a sufficiently strong Grandmaster True Intent.
Together, they make slaughtering Fusion Spirit Realm and ordinary Grandmasters as easy as eating and drinking.
For an average person, if they could cultivate the Eternal Life Scripture to the fifth level of Internal Purification, even if they couldn't match Gu Qingfeng at that stage, they would still be able to overpower many powerful opponents.

As news of Gu Yang's conquest of Guangyang Prefecture spread, the vast Qingyun Province was shaken.
Half a month later.
Gu Yang returned to the Gu Family Manor.
"Father, I pay my respects!"
Looking at Gu Yang, Gu Qingfeng's expression shifted slightly. Compared to a few months ago, the changes in him were significant.
The last traces of naivety on his face had completely vanished, replaced by a strong, iron-blooded aura. A subtle air of dominance lingered in his eyes.
This was the demeanor of a superior.
Clearly, leading an army and suppressing a prefecture had brought about a tremendous change in Gu Yang.
However, from what could be seen, Gu Yang still held the same respect for his father as before.
"Good to have you back. I heard you've taken over Guangyang Prefecture. What are your plans moving forward?"
Gu Qingfeng smiled faintly.
Gu Yang replied solemnly, "With natural disasters rampant, the Tai Xuan Dynasty losing its virtue, and sorcerers causing havoc, it is my duty to cleanse the world and fight for the survival of the common people."
"Do you plan to declare yourself king?"
"Yes, Father."
Gu Yang nodded, his expression serious.
"Now that I have taken control of a prefecture, I must raise my banner and declare myself king. This way, I can gather like-minded individuals to work towards a greater cause!"
If this were twenty years ago, Gu Yang would not have considered declaring himself king.
Back then, Qingyun Province was not in chaos.
Although the Tai Xuan Dynasty was already in a state of decline, it still maintained a strong grip on the realm.
Therefore, openly rebelling and declaring oneself king would have invited the wrath of the court.
But things are different now.
Today, rebel armies are rising everywhere, and the situation in the Central Province is extremely chaotic. In Qingyun Province, with Pei Jing raising the banner of rebellion, and the subsequent natural disasters and his death, the waters have been thoroughly muddied.
In Gu Yang's view, declaring himself king at this time would bring more benefits than drawbacks.
Gu Qingfeng pondered for a moment and then nodded, "If that is your intention, then go ahead. No matter what happens, your father will stand by you!"
Hearing this, Gu Yang was deeply moved, and a surge of confidence welled up within him.
