Chapter 167: Disciple by Nature
Later.
Gu Yun couldn’t help but ask Gu Qingfeng, “Elder Gu, it’s a known fact that evil spirits are nearly immortal. How did you manage to slay them?”
This question had been weighing heavily on his mind for a long time. It wasn’t until now that he finally mustered the courage to ask.
Even Gu Yang’s expression showed a hint of curiosity.
Gu Qingfeng looked at the two of them and said calmly, “The immortality of evil spirits is due to the fact that martial artists haven’t reached the same level of life essence. Evil spirits possess a higher life essence. Only by reaching the same level as them can you slay them. This is why it’s so difficult to kill evil spirits, but they can devour each other with ease!”
Life essence!
Upon hearing these words, Gu Yun and Gu Yang exchanged puzzled glances.
To them, this concept was quite obscure.
Gu Qingfeng continued, “The martial arts of this world are flawed. Ordinary Grandmasters can only live for five hundred years, and even Bloodline Grandmasters can only reach a meager eight hundred years.”
“This flawed martial path not only fails to elevate the life essence of martial artists but also drastically reduces their lifespan.”
Flawed martial path?
This statement caused both of their expressions to change once again.
Gu Yun couldn’t help but press further, “Elder Gu, if the martial arts of this world are flawed, what then is the perfect martial path?”
“Perfect martial path!”
“Cultivating the skin can grant one a lifespan of one hundred and eighty years, cultivating the blood four hundred years, and cultivating the bones seven hundred and fifty years. If one can cleanse the marrow, they might live for around one thousand two hundred years. If one can perfectly cultivate the organs, they can live for two thousand years!”
“By perfectly cultivating the organs, a martial artist’s life essence can transform, placing them on the same level as evil spirits!”
“If one can break through the organ cultivation barrier and achieve the Grandmaster realm, they can live for three thousand years!”
This was the first time Gu Qingfeng had explained the perfect martial path to anyone else. Or, more accurately, the flawless martial path. The traditional martial arts, in comparison, were merely imitations. Only this path was the true and pure martial path.
Gu Yun was deeply shaken by these words.
Two thousand years for organ cultivation! Three thousand years for the Grandmaster realm! These were things he had never dared to imagine.
If anyone else had said these words, Gu Yun would have dismissed them as nonsense. But these words came from Gu Qingfeng, the current foremost martial artist, who would not lie. Moreover, Gu Qingfeng’s ability to slay evil spirits was well-documented.
Therefore, Gu Yun did not doubt the truth of Gu Qingfeng’s words.
Without hesitation, Gu Yun bowed deeply to Gu Qingfeng, his face filled with reverence as he pleaded, “Please, Elder, teach me the flawless martial path!”
This was the only thought on Gu Yun’s mind. The flawless martial path! Ever since he learned of its existence, he had been eager to obtain it. He knew that if the flawless martial path were to be revealed, the rule of the sorcerers over the world would be completely shattered.
“Although I have already entered the realm of the flawless martial path, creating a new, complete martial path is no easy task. So far, I have only glimpsed some of its profound mysteries. This Longevity Technique is the initial creation of my martial path. If you wish, you can study it.”
Gu Qingfeng casually handed over the written Longevity Technique to Gu Yun.
Gu Yun, upon receiving it, felt as if he had discovered a treasure. He immediately opened the technique and immersed himself in it.
A long time passed.
Gu Yun emerged from his trance, his face filled with shock after reading the Longevity Scripture.
Despite the Longevity Scripture only detailing the cultivation methods for the Skin Tempering stage, the profound secrets within it almost made it impossible for Gu Yun to tear himself away.
He had a premonition.
If he could cultivate this Longevity Scripture, even just the first part of the Skin Tempering stage, it would significantly enhance his strength.
After all, Gu Yun was already on the verge of becoming a Grandmaster. He was more accurately described as a half-step Grandmaster rather than a true Grandmaster.
At his level, unless he could break through to Grandmaster or comprehend a deeper True Intent, his strength had reached a point where further advancement seemed impossible.
But now, with the Longevity Scripture, Gu Yun saw a glimmer of hope for further improvement.
Taking a deep breath, Gu Yun bowed solemnly to Gu Qingfeng.
"Today, I have received the Longevity Scripture from Master Gu, allowing me to glimpse the true essence of martial arts. From now on, I will serve Master Gu as a disciple!"
"Lord Gu, you are overestimating this. A bit of martial arts exchange doesn't warrant such a gesture."
Gu Qingfeng shook his head, refusing the offer.
However, Gu Yun was resolute and said earnestly, "Learning knows no bounds, and those who have achieved mastery are teachers. In the path of martial arts, it is the same. Master Gu has bestowed the Longevity Scripture upon me, a great favor that I cannot forget!"
Seeing Gu Yun's determination to be a disciple, Gu Qingfeng did not press the matter further.
This arrangement was for the best.
With this relationship established, the Divine Martial Sect could truly be of use to him.
Then, Gu Qingfeng handed another copy of the Longevity Scripture to Gu Yang.
"The Longevity Scripture is not yet complete. You may study it, but you must not spread it without my permission."
"Yes, Master!"
Gu Yun and Gu Yang both nodded solemnly.
"Very well. This battle has been exhausting. With the matter settled, I will not linger in the city. How you handle the remaining affairs is up to you."
Gu Qingfeng glanced at Gu Yang, then departed gracefully.
His purpose in coming was to deal with the Heavenly Yang Sword Sect. Now that Gu Yutian and all the powerful figures from the Heavenly Yang Sword Sect had been eliminated, there was no need for him to stay longer.
This battle had also given Gu Qingfeng a clear understanding of his own strength.
With his current Extreme Path Grandmaster power, he was on par with the top Creation Realm experts. But if he activated one Heavenly Pulse, he could easily suppress them. If he used two Heavenly Pulses, even a figure like Gu Yutian would be unable to withstand his single strike.
Even if a Creation Realm expert of a higher level were to appear, Gu Qingfeng was confident he could face them in battle.
After Gu Qingfeng left, Gu Yang immediately summoned all the generals.
In the grand hall, a dozen or so generals gathered. Each of them wore a look of reverence, their eyes burning with fervor.
The battle in front of the city had already spread far and wide. They all knew that their king had a supreme expert backing him. Even the most powerful figures from the Immortal Sects had been slain by this expert.
There was no doubt.
With such a formidable supporter, Gu Yang was destined to have the qualifications to compete for the throne. Those who followed him would, one day, become founding heroes if Gu Yang ascended to power, reaping unimaginable rewards.
Especially those generals who originally belonged to the imperial court and the Divine Martial Army now felt that their decision to serve Gu Yang was incredibly wise.
