Chapter 20: Yun Changkong
Half-Step Bone Tempering!
This was somewhat unexpected by Gu Qingfeng.
He had initially thought that the Burning Sun Palm would only reach the peak of Blood Forging. However, it had surpassed that, reaching the Half-Step Bone Tempering stage.
But upon further reflection, Yun Ge's words made sense.
Half-Step Bone Tempering was essentially the peak of Blood Forging.
Regardless, the profound mysteries of the Burning Sun Palm left Gu Qingfeng pleasantly surprised.
A powerful martial art.
If perfected, its power would be immense.
However, the profound and unfathomable nature of the Burning Sun Palm also meant that its cultivation difficulty would be significantly increased.
Next, Gu Qingfeng glanced at his attribute panel.
---
Name: Gu Qingfeng
Age: 32/100
Realm: Mid-Blood Forging
Martial Arts: Gu Family Fist (Unbreakable Level 1), Iron Body Technique (Iron-Strong Level 1), Great Boulder Hand (Basic Mastery), Iron Leg Technique (Basic Mastery), Iron Forging Finger (Basic Mastery), Burning Sun Palm (Not Yet Initiated)
Enhancement Points: 0
---
As expected, the Burning Sun Palm was still at the "Not Yet Initiated" stage.
Gu Qingfeng had discovered another advantage of his golden finger: any martial art he read carefully could be recorded, and he could directly enhance it with enhancement points.
In the following days, Gu Qingfeng quietly cultivated the Burning Sun Palm.
In the presence of such a profound martial art, he temporarily neglected his other martial arts.
After all, with a top-tier mid-grade martial art at hand, it would be a waste of time to cultivate lower-tier martial arts, which would be putting the cart before the horse.
In the past, Gu Qingfeng had cultivated numerous low-tier martial arts because he lacked mid-grade martial arts, hoping to achieve a qualitative leap through quantitative changes.
While Gu Qingfeng was in seclusion, the White Stone Path was also in turmoil.
Mysterious powerful figures emerged, and the major forces suffered significant losses in Blood Forging warriors, causing waves in what was once a peaceful martial world.
Especially those forces that were previously suppressed by the two major powers were now stirring with restless intentions.

Tianyun Sect.
Yun Tianxing stood respectfully in front of a courtyard, his face slightly pale, indicating that his injuries had not fully healed.
A moment later, the tightly closed courtyard gates opened, and an elderly man in fine robes walked out.
Though he appeared old, his eyes were bright and his temples bulged, clearly indicating that his cultivation had reached the pinnacle.
As soon as he stepped out, Yun Tianxing felt a surge of powerful blood energy, causing his face to show a mix of shock and then delight.
"Grand Elder has broken through!"
"Yes, I managed to break through a few days ago."
Yun Changkong nodded slightly, his face filled with pride.
The Tianyun Sect's legacy could only be cultivated to the mid-Blood Forging stage. His breakthrough to the peak of Blood Forging was a successful transcendence of the sect's limits, allowing him to reach this realm.
Throughout the entire history of the Tianyun Sect, no one had ever managed to transcend these limits.
Thus, Yun Changkong had every right to be proud.
He then looked at Yun Tianxing, frowning. "You're injured?"
"Yes..."
Yun Tianxing's face showed a bitter smile as he recounted everything that had happened.
When he finished, a chilling aura of killing intent erupted from Yun Changkong.
"Kang Family and Iron Bone Gang, do they think the Tianyun Sect is made of clay? This matter must be answered by both families."
Otherwise, this matter will not be easily resolved!"
Tianyun Sect’s strength was formidable, but the lack of a top-tier powerhouse to lead them had put them at a disadvantage compared to the Qin family and the Iron Bone Gang.
However, now that Yun Changkong had reached the peak of Blood Refinement, his power was on par with the top-tier powerhouses of the two major factions. This gave him the confidence to hold them accountable.
After all, Tianyun Sect had suffered significant losses this time. Not only had they lost two mid-level Blood Refinement Elders, but they had also lost a top-tier mid-grade martial technique. The Qin family and the Iron Bone Gang owed them an explanation.
Back then, Yun Changkong was in seclusion, striving to break through to the peak of Blood Refinement. Therefore, he had sent Yun Tianxing to lead other sect powerhouses to Bai Shi City to secure the Blazing Sun Palm technique.
But the unexpected happened.
Then, Yun Changkong’s eyes narrowed, and he asked in a deep voice, "You said that Qin Wei, that old man, was killed by a mysterious powerhouse. Do you know this person's background? Does the sect have any information?"
"That mysterious powerhouse was very secretive. The martial technique he used resembled the Mountain-Crumbling Fist, but it was far more refined. I suspect that this person might have advanced the Mountain-Crumbling Fist to its limit-breaking stage."
Yun Tianxing relayed the information he had gathered without any hesitation.
Yun Changkong frowned upon hearing this. "The Mountain-Crumbling Fist is just a low-grade martial technique. Even if it were limit-broken, it wouldn’t be much stronger, at best comparable to a general Blood Refinement practitioner.
"From what you say, this person has cultivated the Blood Qi Wolf Smoke, and can use the limit-broken Mountain-Crumbling Fist to slay numerous Blood Refinement practitioners. Clearly, his strength and foundation are not to be underestimated!"
A formidable opponent!
This was what Yun Changkong thought.
Even if it were him, he might not have been able to achieve the same level of prowess.
However, Bai Shi City had limited powerhouses. If someone truly possessed such strength, it would be impossible for them to remain so low-key and inconspicuous.
Therefore, Yun Changkong believed that this person was likely not a martial artist from Bai Shi City. Instead, they probably appeared specifically for the mid-grade martial technique.
Now that the mysterious powerhouse had succeeded, they had likely already left Bai Shi City.
Thus, Yun Changkong didn’t dwell on this matter for the time being.
Moreover, in Yun Changkong’s view, the mysterious powerhouse, who had slain six Blood Refinement practitioners from the two factions, could be considered an ally of Tianyun Sect.
After all, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
Each faction had lost three Blood Refinement practitioners, including two mid-level and one late-stage Blood Refinement practitioners. In comparison, although Tianyun Sect had suffered heavy losses, it still provided some comfort to Yun Changkong.
Immediately, Yun Changkong left Tianyun Sect and headed for Bai Shi City.
This matter required a resolution from the two factions.
...
On that day.
In front of the Qin family estate, an elderly man in fine robes strode forward. As the Qin family guards were about to speak, they were blasted away by a powerful force, smashing through the front gate of the Qin family estate.
The commotion caused the surrounding people to change expression, and it also alarmed those inside the Qin family estate.
"Who dares to cause trouble at the Qin family estate!"
A cold voice echoed, and Qin family martial artists appeared.
At that moment, Yun Changkong’s Blood Qi erupted, forming a rolling smoke of blood energy. A terrifying pressure spread out, causing the face of the newly appeared Qin family martial artist to turn pale, and his breathing to become difficult.
"I am Yun Changkong of Tianyun Sect. I am here today to demand an explanation from the Qin family!"
Yun Changkong’s voice, filled with anger, reverberated throughout the area.
