Chapter 218: The Great Desolate Fist Manual, the Martial Ancestor's Legacy! (Part 1)



"This is Wu Province!"

Gu Qingfeng stepped into Wu Province, feeling the rich aura of the land and sky. He was slightly taken aback.

He realized that the aura here was much more abundant than in Qingyun Province.

Only now did Gu Qingfeng understand why the Martial Ancestor had chosen to establish his base in Wu Province.

For martial artists, cultivation was inseparable from the essence of the land and sky.

In the early stages, it was enough to just refine the body and bones, with medicinal baths and other aids to support cultivation.

But at the level of Grandmaster and beyond, the resources needed to break through by relying solely on such methods were virtually astronomical.

The essence of the land and sky became the first choice for martial artists.

The aura in Wu Province was at least fifty percent more abundant than in Qingyun Province. Cultivating here was naturally different from other places.

However, this was only temporary.

Ever since Gu Yang established the Divine Martial Dynasty in Qingyun Province and set the capital in Guangyang, the essence of the land and sky from all nine provinces began to converge on Qingyun Province.

Now, the aura in Qingyun Province was gradually recovering.

If nothing unexpected happened, over time, Qingyun Province would have the most abundant essence of the land and sky among the nine provinces.

Behind him, Gu Yun said respectfully, "The Martial Ancestor chose Wu Province because of its rich aura of the land and sky."

This time, Gu Qingfeng didn't come to Wu Province alone; as the head of the Divine Martial Sect, Gu Yun accompanied him.

Hearing this, Gu Qingfeng nodded slightly and continued on his way.

The two of them, one in front and one behind, headed for the Divine Martial Sect.

This time, Gu Qingfeng didn't alarm many people or bring a large army with him.

Before long, they entered the Divine Martial Sect.

As soon as they entered the mountain gate, a disciple of the Divine Martial Sect appeared. Upon seeing Gu Yun beside him, the disciple hurriedly bowed.

"Disciple greets the Sect Leader!"

"Hm, you can go about your business."

Gu Yun, hands clasped behind his back, nodded slightly, feigning profundity. The disciple bowed respectfully and retreated.

Then, he turned to Gu Qingfeng, his expression reverent once more.

"This is the Divine Martial Sect. Master Gu, why don't you stay here for a few days, and then I will show you the things left by the Martial Ancestor."

"Very well."

Seeing Gu Yun's hopeful gaze, Gu Qingfeng nodded slightly.

Seeing this, Gu Yun was overjoyed.

He had gone to great lengths to invite Gu Qingfeng to visit the Divine Martial Sect and certainly didn't want him to leave immediately.

With Gu Qingfeng's consent, Gu Yun personally arranged accommodations for him.

It was a courtyard in the rear mountain of the Divine Martial Sect, with a beautiful environment and a rich aura of the land and sky.

Gu Yun said, "This courtyard is said to be where the Martial Ancestor lived before he passed away. After the Martial Ancestor's passing, no one else has been qualified to live here. However, every generation of the Divine Martial Sect's leaders has come here to clean regularly. Now that Master Gu is here, you can stay here."

"You have thought of everything!"

Gu Qingfeng was quite satisfied with the surroundings. He then looked at Gu Yun, who seemed hesitant to speak, and said, "I see that the Divine Martial Sect has many disciples. If I stay here for a few days, I can bring a few talented ones here for some guidance."

"Thank you, Master Gu!"

Gu Yun immediately bowed in gratitude.

His purpose in asking Gu Qingfeng to stay for a few days was precisely this.

A martial artist of Gu Qingfeng's caliber, if willing to offer a few words of guidance, could benefit ordinary martial artists for life.

Gu Qingfeng, however, didn't pay much attention to this.

After all, he had received benefits from the Divine Martial Sect, and it wouldn't be right to take everything without giving back.

When Gu Yun left, Gu Qingfeng began to examine the courtyard.

The courtyard was simply laid out but had a natural and harmonious feel. A jujube tree stood in the courtyard, its ancient roots resembling dragons, and the trunk was filled with the aura of time.

Clearly, this tree had existed for an extremely long time.

Under normal circumstances, a jujube tree couldn't live for so long.

As Gu Qingfeng approached the jujube tree, he saw it sway slightly, emitting a faint Fluctuation, which made him even more curious.

"This is... about to develop consciousness?"

"No wonder... no wonder this tree has lived so long!"

Undying is the realm of monsters!

The jujube tree in front of him had clearly lived for an unknown number of years and was on the verge of developing consciousness. If it truly did so, how would it be different from the monsters of legend?

When Gu Qingfeng placed his hand on the tree trunk, he could clearly feel the jujube tree tremble, as if a profound and mysterious aura was flowing through it.

At the same time, a scene suddenly appeared in his vision.

The courtyard was still a courtyard!

The jujube tree was still a jujube tree!

What was different was that the jujube tree in the scene was not as thick as it was now. A middle-aged man in green robes would sometimes talk to the jujube tree, sometimes sit under it to drink tea and play chess with himself, and sometimes practice martial arts in the courtyard.

Spring turned to autumn, flowers bloomed and withered.

The jujube tree grew thicker day by day, but the appearance of the middle-aged man in green robes never changed.

But soon, white hair appeared at his temples, and he could no longer resist the ravages of time. His body grew increasingly frail.

Day after day, year after year.

The young man became an old man, still repeating the things he did in his youth. Then, the scene faded away.

A wave of sorrow emanated from the jujube tree.

"Is that person the Martial Ancestor?"

Gu Qingfeng muttered to himself, as if he were speaking to the jujube tree in front of him.

Only at that moment, when he saw the scene, did Gu Qingfeng finally understand why the jujube tree was so extraordinary.

It had accompanied the Martial Ancestor day and night, benefiting from the Martial Ancestor's martial cultivation. Combined with the rich spiritual energy of the Divine Martial Sect, it naturally developed some mystical qualities over time.

Furthermore, the Martial Ancestor's Dao essence and traces were left on the jujube tree. If someone later on could sense the Dao essence on the tree, they would witness such a scene.

However, unless one reached a certain level of cultivation, it would be nearly impossible to discern these subtleties.

This also indirectly indicated something.

The Martial Ancestor of the Divine Martial Sect was incredibly powerful, far surpassing the average Divine Spirit Realm.

After all, for the Dao essence to remain intact for ten thousand years, it was a testament to the unfathomable strength of such a being.

Following that, Gu Qingfeng sat down under the jujube tree, just as the Martial Ancestor had done in the past. The jujube tree gently swayed, as if releasing some profound Dao essence.

He closed his eyes, seemingly entering a state of enlightenment.

It seemed like a day had passed, or perhaps a year.

Gu Qingfeng's motionless figure sat under the jujube tree, but a profound Dao essence permeated his body.

As the sun set in the west and the crescent moon hung high, when the sun rose in the east again, Gu Qingfeng finally opened his eyes.

He exhaled a turbid breath and then looked at his attribute panel.

...

Name: Gu Qingfeng

Realm: Supreme Grandmaster (Complete)

...

"The Great Wasteland Fist Canon!"

Gu Qingfeng's expression remained calm.

He knew that this was a legacy left by the Martial Ancestor.

The Great Wasteland Fist Canon!

This was an unparalleled martial art that broke through the Grandmaster barrier.

Without exaggeration, the profundity of this martial art could rival his own Heavenly Blade.

In fact, the Great Wasteland Fist Canon was even more profound than the Heavenly Blade.

"Unfortunately, the Divine Martial Sect has yet to produce a True Intent Grandmaster, making it difficult to uncover the mysteries here. Otherwise, the Divine Martial Sect could have achieved far more with this martial art!"

Gu Qingfeng shook his head slightly.

The Great Wasteland Fist Canon was extremely profound, and without reaching the True Intent Grandmaster realm, it would be impossible to comprehend it.

After all, high-level martial arts were not just about techniques; they also embodied a Dao.

Without a deep understanding of True Intent power, it would be impossible to cultivate the Great Wasteland Fist Canon.

In essence, the minimum requirement to cultivate the Great Wasteland Fist Canon was to reach the True Intent Grandmaster realm.

However, the Divine Martial Sect had not produced a single Grandmaster, let alone a True Intent Grandmaster.

With a thought, Gu Qingfeng immediately upgraded the Great Wasteland Fist Canon.

200 upgrade points!

Great Wasteland Fist Canon (Beginner)!

200 upgrade points!

Great Wasteland Fist Canon (Intermediate)!

200 upgrade points...

In no time, Gu Qingfeng had brought the Great Wasteland Fist Canon from unacquired to the complete stage.

At the full level of the Great Wasteland Fist Canon, a flood of memories surged into his mind.

At the same time, a terrifying fist intent emanated from Gu Qingfeng, forming a domain that covered the vast Divine Martial Sect.

All the members of the Divine Martial Sect felt this terrifying pressure, their blood and qi becoming stagnant.

However, this pressure came and went quickly, disappearing in a few breaths.

...

Great Wasteland Fist Canon (Complete, Great Wasteland Domain Level 4)!

...

"The Great Wasteland Domain!"

Gu Qingfeng now seemed to have cultivated the Great Wasteland Fist Canon for many years, truly reaching the pinnacle of this martial art.

The only regret was that the Great Wasteland Fist Canon, which broke through the Grandmaster limit, did not have the same effect of refining the physical body as other ordinary Grandmaster or True Intent Grandmaster martial arts.

Otherwise, with the power of this martial art, Gu Qingfeng could have broken through the Supreme Grandmaster limit and reached a higher realm.

Despite this, the true understanding of the profundity of the Great Wasteland Fist Canon alone elevated his strength to a new level.

To be honest, as his cultivation gradually improved, Gu Qingfeng was unsure just how powerful he had become.

At that moment, Gu Yun arrived, followed by five disciples of the Divine Martial Sect.

"Master Gu, these are the most outstanding disciples of our Divine Martial Sect!"

Gu Yun said directly.

He had wanted to ask Gu Qingfeng about the sudden pressure he had felt, but upon seeing Gu Qingfeng, he suppressed the thought.

Clearly, the changes that occurred were closely related to this person. If he wanted to share, he would do so; otherwise, it would be disrespectful to pry.

As Gu Yun finished speaking, the five individuals all bowed respectfully to Gu Qingfeng.

"Salutations, Senior Gu!"

Before coming here, Gu Yun had already informed them of Gu Qingfeng's identity. As the renowned Martial Saint, they dared not show the slightest disrespect.

Moreover, the way they looked at Gu Qingfeng was filled with not only reverence but also admiration for his strength.

Martial Saint Gu Qingfeng!

The current strongest being in the Nine Provinces.

A supreme existence said to rival the Martial Ancestor of ten thousand years ago.

In the path of martial arts, this man before them was the true pinnacle.

For the disciples of the Divine Martial Sect, the opportunity to meet such a formidable figure was itself a great honor.

Gu Qingfeng's gaze fell upon the five of them.

Three men and two women, all quite young, ranging from twenty to twenty-five years old.

At Gu Qingfeng's current cultivation level, he could discern their bone age with just a glance.

Among the five, the weakest was at the peak Bone Tempering stage, while the strongest had already entered the Marrow Washing stage.

Across the Nine Provinces, those who could reach such realms at their age were considered true prodigies.

From this, it was clear that these five were indeed outstanding disciples of the Divine Martial Sect.

"To achieve such cultivation at your age is commendable. If nothing unexpected happens, breaking through to the Grandmaster realm is inevitable, and even advancing to the Great Grandmaster realm is not out of the question!"

Gu Qingfeng nodded, offering his approval.

Upon hearing his words, Gu Yun's face lit up with joy.

Then, Gu Yun said, "I will take my leave now, so as not to disturb Senior Gu further!"

"You can stay as well!"

Gu Qingfeng glanced at him and continued, "Yesterday, I was here for enlightenment and discovered a legacy left by the Martial Ancestor from ten thousand years ago. This legacy belongs to the Divine Martial Sect, so I will pass it on to you. However, how much you can understand depends entirely on your own destiny!"

Enlightenment!

A legacy from the Martial Ancestor?

Gu Yun's face was filled with shock. He hadn't expected that there would be a legacy left by the Martial Ancestor in this courtyard. After all, the successive sect leaders had searched this place thoroughly many times. If there were any legacy, it would have been discovered long ago.

However, he didn't dare to question Gu Qingfeng's words.

Noticing Gu Yun's confusion, Gu Qingfeng explained, "The legacy left here is difficult to detect without reaching the True Intention Grandmaster realm."

"That's why it's normal that the Divine Martial Sect hasn't discovered it over the years."

These words left Gu Yun feeling embarrassed.

The Divine Martial Sect, the greatest martial arts sect in the world, didn't have a single True Intention Grandmaster, which was indeed embarrassing to admit.

In fact, not only were there no True Intention Grandmasters, but the sect hadn't produced a single ordinary Grandmaster for many years.

However, despite the shame, Gu Yun was also filled with excitement.
