Chapter 76: The True Great Master
Chapter 76: The True Great Master
Gu Qingfeng once again attempted to channel the Killing True Intent he had comprehended. In the ethereal realm, an invisible force of True Intent surged toward the Great Master True Intent.
Hum—
In an instant.
Gu Qingfeng found that the Great Master True Intent before him seemed to come to life.
Immediately after.
A domineering and incomparable blade intent emerged from the Great Master True Intent. It was as if a terrifying divine blade had descended from the heavens, slicing through the air.
Mountains crumbled.
The earth cracked.
A vast mountain range was split in two by that single blade.
One blade to cleave a mountain!
So terrifying!
When Gu Qingfeng witnessed that blade, he was stunned. The Killing True Intent he had comprehended seemed as fragile as a candle in the wind, ready to be extinguished at any moment.
Perhaps it was just a moment.
Or perhaps it was a hundred years.
When Gu Qingfeng finally regained his senses, he felt a wave of exhaustion flood his mind, as if his energy had been severely drained.
However.
The domineering and incomparable blade intent had been etched into his mind, impossible to forget.
"Overlord Blade Slash!"
"So this is the Overlord Blade Slash—"
Gu Qingfeng muttered to himself.
Before he had seen the Great Master True Intent, he had no way of truly understanding its terrifying power.
His own Killing True Intent was pitifully small in comparison.
Both were True Intents.
But the former was mercilessly crushed by the latter.
In the end.
It was simply because the Killing True Intent was too weak.
At the same time.
The Overlord Blade Slash that Gu Yang had comprehended was far inferior to the one within the Great Master True Intent. If Gu Yang had mastered the Overlord Blade Slash at this level, Gu Qingfeng suspected that even a fully perfected Bone-Refinement expert would not be invincible against him.
"Internal Organ Cultivators are called Lesser Great Masters!"
"In my opinion, only those who have mastered a True Intent can truly be called Lesser Great Masters—"
Gu Qingfeng looked at the Great Master True Intent before him, gaining a deeper understanding of True Intent.
Mastering a True Intent or not.
These were two entirely different concepts.
Both being Internal Organ Cultivators, the one who had mastered a True Intent could easily suppress the one who had not.
Gu Qingfeng had already discerned the method of comprehending the Great Master True Intent.
To understand the Great Master True Intent, one could either rely on their own intuition or stimulate the True Intent within it with their own True Intent.
Clearly.
Gu Yang was the former.
Gu Qingfeng, lacking in intuition, chose the latter method.
At this rate of comprehension, Gu Qingfeng believed he could initially grasp the Overlord Blade Slash within a month.
If not for the significant mental strain each time he comprehended a True Intent, his progress could have been much faster.
---
The days that followed were much simpler.
Gu Qingfeng, besides practicing the Qingyang Technique and the Five Viscera Canon, added the task of comprehending the Great Master True Intent to his daily routine.
Then.
Xu Yulan used a Breakthrough Pill to advance, combining it with the training of the Scorching Sun Palm. She successfully perfected the Scorching Sun Palm, cultivating the Scorching Sun Palm Force. Even if she stopped training in the future, she could slowly build a body of iron, advancing to the Bone-Refinement stage.
At the same time.
Gu Qingfeng kept a close eye on the news from Mount Tai Dao.
Every few days.
Mount Tai Dao would send new information to Gu Qingfeng.
As time passed, the struggle for control of Mount Tai Road escalated to a fever pitch.
The Zhuo family, determined to seize complete control of Mount Tai Road, not only deployed several Marrow Cleansing Realm warriors but also sent three Spirit Mastery Realm sorcerers into the fray.
The other noble families and sects were not about to be outdone.
Thus, Mount Tai Road descended into chaos.
...
"Zhuo family's strength is indeed formidable. To secure Mount Tai Road, they can mobilize three Spirit Mastery Realm sorcerers and five Marrow Cleansing Realm warriors. No wonder they have the confidence to occupy it!"
Gu Qingfeng glanced at the intelligence report in his hand and smiled faintly.
He had no doubt about the Zhuo family's power. After all, a thousand years of history meant they had amassed considerable resources and influence.
Gu Peng commented, "While the Zhuo family has many strong individuals, the other noble families and sects are no pushovers. I've heard that the Shangguan family, Stellaluna Sect, Crimson Flame Sect, and Spirit Bone Sect all have powerful figures entering Mount Tai Road. Even with their strength, the Zhuo family might not have a high chance of winning against so many opponents."
As he spoke, Gu Peng's expression was filled with awe.
In the past, as a wandering warrior, he had only ever been a part of the lower echelons and had no idea just how deep the waters of the martial world truly ran.
Now, by Gu Qingfeng's side, he finally understood the true face of the martial world. Compared to the conflicts between the major sects and noble families, the skirmishes he had seen before were mere trivialities.
According to Gu Peng's intelligence, this time alone, more than a dozen Marrow Cleansing Realm warriors had appeared.
It was worth noting that back in White Stone Road, there hadn't been a single Bone Strengthening Realm warrior.
Only by truly understanding the depth of the martial world could one grasp their own insignificance.
"Whether the Zhuo family wins or loses is a minor matter. As long as it doesn't affect our Gu Family Manor, it's of little concern to me."
Gu Qingfeng said this with a calm demeanor.
Gu Peng's expression turned serious. "In recent days, many unfamiliar warriors have appeared in White Stone Road, causing quite a stir. Some come from Mount Tai Road, while others have ties to other sects and noble families. What are your plans, Manor Lord?"
"Meet the soldiers with generals, and the water with earth!"
Gu Qingfeng's eyes turned cold, and he looked at Gu Peng. "With your current Junior Blood Refining realm, you are somewhat weak. Here is a Rank-Breaking Pill I obtained by chance. It is effective for warriors below the Bone Strengthening Realm. If you take it, breaking through to Senior Blood Refining should not be a problem."
With that, Gu Qingfeng handed over the remaining three Rank-Breaking Pills to Gu Peng.
The Rank-Breaking Pill was only effective for warriors below the Bone Strengthening Realm. Xu Yulan was already at Senior Blood Refining, so it would have no effect on her. As for Gu Yang, Gu Qingfeng had no intention of letting him take shortcuts.
Thus, Gu Peng was the most suitable candidate to receive the Rank-Breaking Pill. He had been by Gu Qingfeng's side for many years, and Gu Qingfeng trusted him implicitly.
Moreover, with the current tense situation in White Stone Road, the Gu Family Manor needed some strong figures to maintain order. If Gu Peng could break through to Senior Blood Refining, it wouldn't bring a significant change, but it would certainly have a deterrent effect.
"Thank you, Manor Lord!"
Gu Peng clutched the bottle containing the Rank-Breaking Pill, his excitement evident on his face.
Senior Blood Refining.
This was something he had never dared to dream of before. Gu Peng knew his own limits; breaking through to the Blood Forging Realm was already his peak without any special opportunities. The idea of advancing further was impossible.
Now, with this rare opportunity granted by Gu Qingfeng, how could he not be overjoyed?
