Chapter 80: The Art of Nurturing a Blade
Chapter 80: The Art of Nurturing a Blade
"Sixth Rank True Intent of the Dominant Blade!"
A cold light flashed in Gu Qingfeng’s eyes.
Immediately,
He unleashed the Sixth Rank True Intent of the Dominant Blade, directly challenging the Master True Intent, attempting to awaken the latent Master True Intent within.
"Boom—"
The two forces collided.
Gu Qingfeng’s Sixth Rank True Intent of the Dominant Blade shattered instantly.
Seeing this,
Gu Qingfeng understood the situation.
"A Sixth Rank True Intent of the Dominant Blade is merely the threshold to the Master True Intent, but it still falls far short compared to the Master True Intent depicted in the portrait!"
According to the Zhuo family,
The Master True Intent within the portrait was left behind by a powerful warrior who was nearly at the Grandmaster level.
The true intent left by such a formidable warrior was naturally far beyond what he could currently match.
However,
Gu Qingfeng could clearly sense that the true intent within the Master True Intent portrait was significantly weaker than before.
This indicated that the true intent was not an eternal and indestructible force. Over time, and with each person who comprehended it, the true intent’s power was gradually being consumed.
"Sixth Rank True Intent is required to cross the threshold to Master!"
"Only by mastering a True Intent of Sixth Rank or higher can one be truly called a Lesser Master!"
"Though the Second Rank Slaughter True Intent is powerful, it is far inferior to a Sixth Rank True Intent—"
Gu Qingfeng clenched his fists, and the information about the Dominant Blade Slash flashed through his mind.
In a sense,
By comprehending the Dominant Blade Slash, Gu Qingfeng had truly become a Lesser Master.
When his cultivation reached the Master level, he would then be considered a true Master.
This time,
Although his cultivation did not advance,
Mastering the true Dominant Blade Slash doubled his strength.
This effect was far more powerful than advancing to the second stage of the Viscera Refinement realm.
After all, with the Dominant Blade Slash, Gu Qingfeng was confident he could easily defeat his former self.
Next,
Gu Qingfeng shifted his attention to other aspects.
The Blood Refinement Pill and Bone Refinement Pill were old acquaintances, and their benefits were well-known.
Then,
There was the Marrow Cleansing Pill.
This was the first time Gu Qingfeng had obtained a pill that involved the Marrow Cleansing level.
Previously, the Blood Refinement Pill and Bone Refinement Pill not only enhanced a martial artist’s strength but also fortified their foundation, bringing numerous benefits.
However,
Every type of pill had its limits.
After consuming about a hundred Blood Refinement Pills and Bone Refinement Pills, the enhancement to one’s foundation reached its peak.
Gu Qingfeng had already consumed a hundred Bone Refinement Pills, gradually tempering his Golden Bones.
Now,
His Golden Bones were far superior to those of martial artists at the same level.
Thus,
The Bone Refinement Pill was no longer of any use to Gu Qingfeng.
A hundred Bone Refinement Pills was the limit.
Continuing to consume them would only enhance his cultivation.
But the problem was,
The Bone Refinement Pill could only enhance the cultivation of martial artists at the Bone Refinement level. Gu Qingfeng, being a Lesser Master of the Viscera Refinement realm, would be wasting the pill if he consumed it.
However—
The Marrow Cleansing Pill was different.
This was the first time Gu Qingfeng had obtained such a pill. Consuming it would enhance his foundation, effectively raising his strength to a new level.
Of course,
Among the various rewards,
The Art of Nurturing a Blade was the one Gu Qingfeng was most concerned about.
A secret technique!
He had never heard of it before.
When Gu Qingfeng took the secret technique from his inventory and carefully read through it, he finally understood what a secret technique truly was.
Unlike martial arts, secret techniques are a special kind of method. The Blade Nurturing Technique that Gu Qingfeng obtained this time is all about how to nourish a divine weapon with one's own life force, ultimately achieving a deep connection where the weapon responds to the wielder's will like an extension of their body.
Moreover, this technique can slowly enhance the rank of the divine weapon over time. In a sense, the effectiveness of the Blade Nurturing Technique surpasses even the most advanced martial techniques.
However, the Blade Nurturing Technique requires time and dedication. After all, nurturing a blade is not a task that can be accomplished in a day. It demands daily offerings of one's own blood, accompanied by specific methods, to truly achieve a deep connection over the years.
Additionally, there is a prerequisite for practicing the Blade Nurturing Technique: the practitioner must have a profound understanding of true intent.
...
Half a day later, Gu Qingfeng had memorized all the knowledge about the Blade Nurturing Technique. He then took out the Evil-Slaying Blade.
The long blade emerged from its sheath, its slightly yellowed surface gleaming with a cold light. Gu Qingfeng focused his mind, recalling the details of the Blade Nurturing Technique, and then sliced his finger with the blade, allowing his blood to flow freely.
Next, he concentrated fully, using his blood as ink to draw intricate patterns on the blade's surface. At the same time, he had to constantly use his true intent to connect with the blade, awakening its spirit to accelerate the nurturing process.
Only by doing so could it be considered true Blade Nurturing. Otherwise, simply using blood to nourish the blade would not count as genuine nurturing and would have little effect.
When Gu Qingfeng completed the final stroke, the blade's surface glowed with a mysterious light. All the blood seeped into the blade, disappearing in moments.
Observing the Evil-Slaying Blade, the previously yellowed surface now had a subtle blood-red hue, adding a touch of eerie energy.
"This marks the completion of the first blade nurturing session!"
Gu Qingfeng's gaze fell on the Evil-Slaying Blade. After the first session, he could already feel a faint connection with the blade, though it was very weak and not easily noticeable. This was normal, as the Blade Nurturing Technique could not be accomplished in a single day. With enough time, the results would become evident.
...
The next day, Gu Qingfeng met with Gu Yang.
After breaking through to the mid-stage of the Blood Refinement realm, Gu Yang's aura had become even more powerful. More importantly, there was a faint aura of killing intent around him, a result of too many killings.
"Have you been killing a lot of people these days?"
Gu Qingfeng took a sip of tea and looked at Gu Yang.
Gu Yang nodded and said, "These people have been causing chaos in the White Stone Path, disregarding the reputation of our Gu Family Village and slaughtering many. As your son, I must use iron-fisted methods to suppress them. If we let them continue, the White Stone Path will descend into chaos!"
As he spoke, the killing intent around Gu Yang grew more evident.
Gu Qingfeng observed him for a moment before nodding slightly.
"Very well. Killing those people is justified, but do not let the bloodshed cloud your heart. It will not benefit your cultivation."
"I understand, Father!"
Gu Yang's expression became serious and determined.
"However, as you said, the order of this world is corrupt. Our Gu Family Village may not be able to govern the entire world, but we can maintain order in the White Stone Path. To reestablish order, we must use iron-fisted methods to stop the chaos!"
