Chapter 170: The Sun and Moon Fist Manual Achieves Minor Mastery
"Five prefectures have fallen!"
"The Guangyang King has secured his power!"
In the Qingjiang Prefecture, Prefect Taishi Yi’s expression darkened upon hearing the news.
Secured his power!
This was something he had not anticipated.
After all, Taishi Yi had always thought that Gu Yang wouldn’t last long.
All he had to do was wait for the Heavenly Sun Sword Sect to make their move, and the Guangyang King, along with the Gu Family Manor, would be obliterated in an instant.
But now...
Taishi Yi realized he had been wrong.
The might of the Overlord Blade far exceeded everyone’s expectations.
A single strike had slain Gu Yutian, and it was rumored that he had even shattered the legend of the undying evil spirits.
Such a formidable warrior was now being hailed as a Martial Saint in the martial world.
A Saint of Martial Arts!
A Sage of Martial Dao!
Throughout the ages, there have been many martial masters, and even a few grandmasters over the millennia, but none had ever been worthy of the title of Martial Saint.
But now...
Gu Qingfeng had earned the right to be called a saint in the martial world.
This was an unparalleled honor.
As long as Gu Qingfeng lived, Taishi Yi knew that no one, not even the so-called immortal sects and noble families, could shake Gu Yang’s position.
However...
In Taishi Yi’s view, martial arts were ultimately inferior to the path of the sorcerers.
Even if Gu Qingfeng’s martial arts had reached the level of the ancient Martial Ancestor, he would only live for a mere two thousand years.
On the other hand, those immortal sects and noble families had thrived for thousands, even tens of thousands of years.
At the root of it all...
These immortal sects and noble families could continuously produce powerful beings, ensuring their foundations remained unshaken.
A Transformation Realm master could live for three thousand years.
It seemed like only a thousand years more than the ancient Martial Ancestor, but that thousand years could change so much.
Living a thousand years longer...
Meant more time to cultivate the next generation of powerful beings.
Living a thousand years longer...
Meant a thousand years of accumulated strength.
Then...
There was the issue of breakthroughs.
Martial arts breakthroughs were extremely difficult. Even reaching the grandmaster realm required exceptional talent, and the chances were slim.
In contrast...
For a sorcerer to break through to the Transformation Realm was much easier.
Breaking through to the grandmaster realm was already challenging.
To reach the level of Gu Qingfeng and the Martial Ancestor, one had to break through the grandmaster’s shackles and take another step forward.
Throughout the ten thousand years...
In the Nine Provinces...
There were only two individuals who had truly reached this level.
Therefore...
Even if the Guangyang King secured the throne with Gu Qingfeng’s help, Taishi Yi believed it would be difficult to stabilize the situation.
Once Gu Qingfeng’s lifespan ran out and he passed away, it would be the time for the other side to collapse.
In the end...
Relying solely on martial artists was too difficult.
Thus...
If given a choice, Taishi Yi did not have much faith in Gu Yang.
But in the current situation, Taishi Yi also understood that he might not have a choice.
The five prefectures of Mount Tai had fallen.
As the prefect, it was time for him to decide his stance.
He could either do everything in his power to stop Gu Yang, but the likely outcome would be his own downfall.
Or he could directly join Gu Yang and take a bold gamble.
However...
Someone suggested, "Prefect, if things really don’t work out, why don’t we abandon our base in Mount Tai and leave?"
"Abandon our base?"
Taishi Yi looked at the speaker as if he were a fool.
"Given the current situation, if I abandon our base in Mount Tai, where in the Nine Provinces will we find a place to stay?"
With those words, the other party was immediately at a loss for words.
Indeed, without sufficient power, abandoning one's foundation would be like cutting off one's own arm, which was certainly not a wise choice.
Taking a deep breath, Taishi Yi sighed with a helpless smile. "The tide of the world is beyond our control. Now that the powerful Guangyang Wang is on the rise, backed by a martial saint, the four counties of Qingyun State are unlikely to stand a chance against him!"
"Since this is the way of the world, I can only go with the flow!"
---
"Your offspring, 'Gu Yang,' has suppressed Lianyun Manor, greatly increasing his strength!"
"Your offspring, 'Gu Yang,' has gained a fearsome reputation, and the name 'Guangyang Wang' is known far and wide!"
"Your offspring, 'Gu Yang,' has taken a medicinal pill, slightly advancing his cultivation!"
"Your offspring, 'Gu Yang,' has received guidance from the head of the Divine Martial Sect, further enhancing his cultivation!"
"Your offspring, 'Gu Yang,' has broken through to the Intermediate Bone Tempering stage!"
"Reward: 100 Improvement Points!"
"Reward: 100 Bone Tempering Pills!"
"Reward: 100 Marrow Cleansing Pills!"
"Reward: 10 Viscera Tempering Pills!"
...
"Intermediate Bone Tempering!"
Gu Qingfeng’s expression shifted slightly.
He wasn’t particularly surprised by Gu Yang’s breakthrough. Although it hadn’t been long since Gu Yang broke through to the Initial Bone Tempering stage, Gu Yang had always had a strong natural talent. Now, with the vast resources at his disposal as the ruler of various manors, it was only natural.
Moreover, from the information panel, it was clear that Gu Yun had provided a lot of guidance.
Thus, Gu Yang’s breakthrough was only logical.
With abundant resources and the guidance of a powerful figure, even an ordinary person could force a breakthrough. How much more so for someone as talented as Gu Yang?
In the past, Gu Qingfeng would have been quite pleased with Gu Yang’s breakthrough. However, given the current situation, the benefits of Gu Yang’s breakthrough were no longer enough to impress him.
Each breakthrough in the Heavenly Pulse Canon required ten times the Improvement Points of the previous level. The last breakthrough cost him a thousand Improvement Points, and now, the next breakthrough would require ten thousand.
At the current rate, it would take an indefinite amount of time to accumulate ten thousand Improvement Points.
Therefore, Gu Qingfeng abandoned the idea of accumulating Improvement Points to continue advancing the Heavenly Pulse Canon.
However, without the Heavenly Pulse Canon, ordinary martial arts were of little use to him at his current cultivation level. At the very least, he would need a Grandmaster-level martial art to see any significant improvement.
"Since that’s the case, I’ll enhance the Sun and Moon Fist Canon!"
Although he had always specialized in sword techniques, the Sun and Moon Fist Canon, being the signature technique of the Divine Fist Sect, was incredibly profound.
With that thought, Gu Qingfeng focused his mind.
One hundred Improvement Points were consumed, and the Sun and Moon Fist Canon, which was previously unmastered, instantly advanced to the Minor Mastery stage.
As the Sun and Moon Fist Canon broke through, a vast flood of memories surged into Gu Qingfeng’s mind. His own blood and qi vibrated, and his fists felt as if they had been infinitely honed, imbued with terrifying divine might.
After a long while, Gu Qingfeng opened his eyes.
"Phew!"
"The Sun and Moon Fist Canon truly lives up to its reputation as the Divine Fist Sect’s signature technique. The profundity of this technique is far better than I expected."
Centuries of refinement had not only advanced the Sun and Moon Fist Canon to Minor Mastery but also made his blood and qi even more powerful.
Although Gu Qingfeng’s cultivation was still at the initial stage of the Supreme Grandmaster level, his strength had increased once again.
