Chapter 218: The Great Desolate Fist Manual, the Martial Ancestor's Legacy! (Part 2)

The legacy left by the Martial Ancestor was undoubtedly immensely powerful. Now that Gu Qingfeng had obtained this legacy and was willing to pass it on to the Divine Martial Sect, it could help revitalize the sect.

Before Gu Yun could think too much, Gu Qingfeng raised his hand, and a profound Dao essence entered the minds of the six individuals, including Gu Yun.

In an instant, they all closed their eyes instinctively, focusing on digesting the information.

An hour passed.

Gu Yun was the first to regain consciousness. He reviewed the memories in his mind, his face a mix of excitement and gratitude.

"Thank you, Senior Gu, for imparting this knowledge!"

Gu Yun bowed deeply to Gu Qingfeng, his expression sincere and genuine.

In his mind, he now possessed a martial art called the Great Wasteland Fist Canon, which was far more profound than any other technique the Divine Martial Sect had.

Even with the memories of the Great Wasteland Fist Canon, Gu Yun felt as if he were in a fog.

This feeling made him realize that this martial art truly involved the Dao, surpassing ordinary martial arts.

Although he hadn't yet comprehended any of the Great Wasteland Fist Canon's profound mysteries, this was still a great opportunity. If one day he could understand even a fraction of its mysteries, he could unleash incredible power.

For this, Gu Yun was immensely grateful.

After all, a martial art of the Great Wasteland Fist Canon's caliber would never be easily revealed by anyone who obtained it.

If Gu Qingfeng hadn't mentioned it, Gu Yun wouldn't have known about it.

But now, Gu Qingfeng was willing to leave this martial art with the Divine Martial Sect, which spoke volumes about his magnanimity.

Another hour passed.

The other five individuals also gradually awoke.

Seeing their shocked expressions, Gu Qingfeng said, "The Great Wasteland Fist Canon is a martial art that breaks the limits of the Grandmaster realm. It is particularly difficult for True Intention Grandmasters to truly master.

However, for ordinary martial artists, even if they can't fully grasp the Great Wasteland Fist Canon, understanding a fraction of its mysteries can still be immensely beneficial!"

"Today, I will give you another opportunity. Watch closely!"

Gu Qingfeng moved to the center of the courtyard and casually threw a punch. The void shattered instantly.

Gu Yun and the others' pupils dilated as they watched the punch that shattered the void, their blood and qi trembling, and their bodies unable to move.

Shattering the void!

What a concept!

The terrifying power made them feel that if even a fraction of it touched them, they would be instantly obliterated.

Such overwhelming force.

Enough to make one lose all hope.

After a moment, they finally snapped out of their shock.

At this point, they noticed a fist imprint on the courtyard ground, as if it had been there naturally, radiating a terrifying pressure and infinite subtleties.

"This is a bit of my insight into the Great Wasteland Fist Manual. I leave it here for you to comprehend in the future. How much you can understand will depend on your own destiny.

"This can also be seen as a compensation from me to the Divine Martial Sect for receiving the martial ancestor's inheritance!"

Gu Qingfeng said calmly.

The Dao aura contained within this fist imprint, of course, could not last for ten thousand years like the martial ancestor's Dao aura.

After all, the martial ancestor's Dao aura could remain for so long partly due to the existence of the jujube tree.

However, no matter what, this fist imprint should last for at least a hundred years.

In a hundred years, how much the people of the Divine Martial Sect can comprehend from it will truly depend on their own destiny.

In Gu Qingfeng's view, as long as the people of the Divine Martial Sect are not too foolish, they should have no problem grasping some of the subtleties of the Great Wasteland Fist Manual through this imprint.

In the future, whether anyone in the Divine Martial Sect can truly cultivate the Great Wasteland Fist Manual will depend on whether a True Intent Grandmaster emerges.

Without the cultivation realm of a True Intent Grandmaster, it is impossible to truly master the Great Wasteland Fist Manual.

Currently, the strongest in the entire Divine Martial Sect who has the best chance of breaking through to True Intent Grandmaster is actually Gu Yun.

At this moment, Gu Yun looked at the fist imprint, feeling a subtle touch in his heart, as if he had touched something but couldn't quite grasp it.

However, he had a premonition.

If he could seize this moment of insight, it might be the time for him to break through to the Grandmaster realm.

"Disciple has gained some insight and needs to go into seclusion for a while. I will take my leave first!"

Gu Yun immediately bowed and left, leaving behind several disciples who had followed him.

Gu Qingfeng nodded and then looked at the few people in front of him.

"Speak about any martial arts questions you have, and I will answer them for you."

"Thank you, Senior Gu!"

The few people were overjoyed. For the moment, they stopped pondering the subtleties of the fist imprint and the memories of the Great Wasteland Fist Manual in their minds.

To them, these things could be comprehended later. The most important thing now was to seize this opportunity and receive guidance from Gu Qingfeng.

...

For two consecutive days, Gu Qingfeng guided their cultivation. For issues below the Grandmaster realm, his insights were always to the point, and a few words of guidance made them feel immensely benefited.

After two days, Gu Qingfeng said, "You don't need to come tomorrow. I have already taught you what I can. How far you can go in the future is up to you."

"Thank you, Senior, for your guidance these past two days. We will never forget it!"

The five people exchanged glances. Although there was some regret in their eyes, they could only bid farewell as instructed.

After all, it was already a great fortune to have such a powerful expert guide them for two days. They couldn't ask for too much.

Moreover, the gains from these two days of guidance were equivalent to ten years of hard work. If they could fully digest these insights, they would have no major bottlenecks before breaking through to the Grandmaster realm.

Such an opportunity was already significant, and the five people were not greedy.

To be cultivated by the Divine Martial Sect and regarded as the foundation of the future, one must not only have talent but also a good temperament and conduct.

On the fourth day of arriving at the Divine Martial Sect, Gu Yun appeared gracefully.

He looked younger than before, and his aura was much stronger. The powerful blood energy he exuded couldn't be completely contained, occasionally leaking out and causing people to feel alarmed.

"Congratulations, Sect Leader Gu, for comprehending the Dao and achieving the Grandmaster realm!"

Gu Qingfeng smiled and offered his congratulations.

With just one glance, he could tell that Gu Yun had broken through the half-step Grandmaster bottleneck and truly reached the Grandmaster realm.

Honestly, Gu Qingfeng was somewhat surprised that Gu Yun could break through so quickly.

This also showed that his foundation was already quite solid; otherwise, he wouldn't have achieved the Grandmaster realm so fast.

Hearing this, Gu Yun's smile couldn't be suppressed, but the respect and gratitude in his eyes towards Gu Qingfeng increased even more.

"If not for Senior Gu's guidance, I might never have had the chance to break through to the Grandmaster realm. Senior Gu's actions are like a second birth, and I am eternally grateful!"

At this moment, Gu Yun felt that inviting Gu Qingfeng to the Divine Martial Sect was an incredibly wise decision.

Otherwise, how could he have broken through to the Grandmaster realm so quickly?

But even after breaking through to the Grandmaster realm, Gu Yun did not feel arrogant.

He knew that even at the Grandmaster realm, he was still a junior in front of this person.

With the other's unfathomable strength, he could suppress him with a single move.

Therefore, after speaking, Gu Yun handed over a wooden box he had brought to Gu Qingfeng.

"This is what the martial ancestor left behind. Please, Senior Gu, take a look!"

Gu Qingfeng took the wooden box and opened it, revealing a long sword with a blade like frost.

At the first sight of the sword, Gu Qingfeng could sense its extraordinary nature.

In this divine weapon, he seemed to detect an aura similar to the Evil-Slaying Blade.

In the wooden box, besides this divine sword, there was also a jade slip.

Seeing the jade slip, Gu Qingfeng's eyes flickered, and he immediately felt a sense of familiarity.

This kind of jade slip...

Gu Qingfeng was no stranger to this.

Back then, Gu Yang had brought a jade slip, allowing Gu Qingfeng to learn a secret technique called the "Casting Immortal Court."

Now, seeing the jade slip appear before him, Gu Qingfeng felt little surprise. Instead, it confirmed many of his suspicions.

At this moment, Gu Yun said, "This sword is named Qingyu, the very sword left behind by the Martial Ancestor. It carries a portion of the Martial Ancestor's power, which is the fundamental reason why the Divine Martial Sect has stood tall in Wuzhou for so many years."

"Shortly after news of the Martial Ancestor's passing spread, many forces attacked the Divine Martial Sect, seeking to seize the Martial Ancestor's legacy. It was only after the elders of the Divine Martial Sect invoked the Qingyu Sword and slew a Great Martial Master that the various forces were deterred."

"Throughout the millennia, top-tier experts from immortal sects have also invaded, but they were all slain by the Qingyu Sword."

"Unfortunately, each time the Qingyu Sword is used, the Martial Ancestor's power weakens a little."

"So, unless absolutely necessary, the Divine Martial Sect dare not easily use the power of this supreme treasure!"

As he finished speaking, Gu Yun's face was tinged with a bitter smile.

The Divine Martial Sect has stood for millennia, relying on the divine weapon left behind by the Martial Ancestor for its deterrent power. This comparison makes the Divine Martial Sect seem rather inept.

But there was no way around it. The descendants of the Divine Martial Sect have indeed been lackluster, and there is no point in arguing otherwise.

If not for the Martial Ancestor's sword, the Divine Martial Sect would have been destroyed long ago.

"This sword is indeed extraordinary!"

Gu Qingfeng nodded as his gaze fell on the Qingyu Sword. The power within the sword has weakened significantly, but even so, it remains unassailable to any expert below the Divine Sensory realm.

However, against a Divine Sensory realm expert, the Qingyu Sword would be insufficient.

Perhaps in the past, the Qingyu Sword could have suppressed a Divine Sensory realm expert, but now, its power has diminished greatly.

This is understandable. After all, this sword was left behind by the Martial Ancestor ten thousand years ago. It is already quite remarkable that it still retains the power to suppress Great Martial Masters.

This further demonstrates the immense strength of the Martial Ancestor back then.

Then, Gu Yun pointed to the jade slip and said, "This jade slip was left behind with the Martial Ancestor's sword. Over the years, our sect's experts have studied it extensively and found that it can be used simply by pressing it to the forehead."

"However, there are powerful restrictions within the jade slip, and no generation of our sect's experts has been able to remove them."

As he spoke, Gu Yun's bitter smile deepened.

The Martial Ancestor did leave behind many things, but the descendants of the Divine Martial Sect have been lackluster and have not obtained any of them.

Only the Qingyu Sword has remained to protect the sect.

But Gu Yun could see that the power within the Qingyu Sword is gradually weakening. If the Divine Martial Sect does not change, once the power within the Qingyu Sword is completely depleted, the sect will lose its strongest deterrent.

However, these are things of the past.

With the transmission of the Great Wasteland Fist Scripture by Gu Qingfeng, the Divine Martial Sect now has a new trump card.

As long as someone within the sect can comprehend the profound mysteries of the Great Wasteland Fist Scripture, the Divine Martial Sect will remain prosperous.

On the other side, Gu Qingfeng pressed the jade slip to his forehead, just as Gu Yun had said. Indeed, there was a powerful restriction within the jade slip, blocking any attempts to probe it.

However, this restriction was not particularly strong. Gu Qingfeng simply used a bit of his True Intent power to shatter it completely.

As the restriction dissolved, a flood of information surged forth.

Even with Gu Qingfeng's current cultivation, it took him a considerable amount of time to barely suppress the overwhelming information.

Then, he looked at Gu Yun and said, "I need to delve into the contents of this jade slip. You may leave now."

As he spoke, Gu Qingfeng returned the Qingyu Sword to Gu Yun. The jade slip had already shattered into powder.

"Disciple takes his leave!"

Gu Yun understood that Gu Qingfeng must have obtained something from the jade slip. However, he did not ask too many questions and respectfully retreated with the wooden box containing the Qingyu Sword.

After Gu Yun left, Gu Qingfeng sat cross-legged under the jujube tree, beginning to gradually digest the sudden influx of information and memories.

Time passed slowly.

Gu Qingfeng remained motionless, but a dense aura of the Dao enveloped the entire courtyard.

Under this aura, the courtyard became a forbidden zone, even for a Great Martial Master, who would find it difficult to truly intrude.

The vast courtyard was now peaceful, with only the jujube tree swaying gently in the wind, emitting a subtle aura.

One day!

Two days!

...

In the blink of an eye, three days had passed.

During these three days, Gu Yun came here more than once, but he found that the area was already covered by a powerful aura of True Intent. Even as a Great Martial Master, he did not dare to step into it.

Whenever Gu Yun tried to enter, he felt a strong warning in his heart, as if taking that step would result in a devastating blow.

This change made Gu Yun hesitant to act.

He also ordered the other members of the Divine Martial Sect not to step into the rear mountain, to avoid disturbing Gu Qingfeng.

Gu Qingfeng, who had been sitting motionless, finally opened his eyes. A glint of insight flashed in his eyes before quickly fading.

"So, that's it!"

"This is the legacy left behind by the Martial Ancestor!"
