Come On, Son! You Got to Breakthrough Now!

"After all, the Taixu Sacred Land has stood in the Eastern Domain for hundreds of thousands of years, and its foundation is quite strong. Once Mr. Gu enters Taixu Sacred Land, I believe that other forces, even if they want to make a move, will have to weigh their options!"

Fu He suggested.

The reason why he made such a suggestion was that he had his own thoughts.

For someone like Gu Qingfeng, who is destined to become a saint in the future, if he could be brought into Taixu Sacred Land, the benefits would naturally be self-evident.

As the saying goes, it is easy to add flowers to brocade but hard to send charcoal in snowy weather.

Right now, the other party had not truly become a saint. If Taixu Sacred Land could offer protection, then, in the future, they could expect a generous return.

"Regarding joining Taixu Sacred Land, I will have to consider it further and will give Mr. Fu a reply later!"

"That's also fine."

Fu He heard the hint of meaning in Gu Qingfeng's words, but since the other party did not speak in absolutes, he took it as if he had not heard anything specific.

Afterward,

Fu He handed over a jade token to Gu Qingfeng.

"This is my Communication Jade Token, Mr. Gu can contact me with it in the future if you have any thoughts!"

"No problem."

Gu Qingfeng accepted the Communication Jade Token.

Although it was his first time truly interacting with such an object, he had a good understanding of Communication Jade Tokens from the memories of his past Soul Searches.

——

Three days later,

Fu He left.

Also departing was Gu Xuan.

After all,

Gu Xuan had taken Fu He as his master, and now that Fu He was leaving, he naturally had to leave with him.

Of course,

there were several other reasons for this.

The first reason was that Gu Qingfeng was well aware that he had offended many forces. Sending Gu Xuan to Taixu Sacred Land was also a form of indirect protection.

If anything truly happened to the Gu Family or the Divine Martial Dynasty, at least the Gu Family would have a line of blood left behind.

Then again,

the Nine States was ultimately too small.

Rather than Gu Xuan staying here, it was better for him to go to Taixu Sacred Land, where he could grow even faster.

In the eyes of outsiders, with Gu Qingfeng, a powerful being comparable to a saint, personally instructing him, it should be more beneficial than taking refuge in other forces.

But Gu Qingfeng knew very well that the foundation of Taixu Sacred Land was extraordinary, and even with his personal guidance, it wouldn't necessarily be better than Gu Xuan going to Taixu Sacred Land.

Some people

are naturally restless.

And it had been shown that after Gu Xuan left the Gu Family Manor, his cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds, indicating that leaving was much better for him than staying in the Nine States.

However,

before leaving, Gu Xuan did duplicate a portion of the inheritance from the Heavenly Phoenix Great Saint.

This so-called inheritance was in fact a cultivation technique called the Nirvana Dao Scripture, as well as a divine skill called the Heavenly Phoenix Divine Skill.

Among them,

the Nirvana Dao Scripture was a top-notch inheritance that directly aimed at the Great Saint Ninth Layer.

But the problem was,

to cultivate the Nirvana Dao Scripture, one must possess the Heavenly Phoenix Divine Body. Essentially, it was a cultivation technique created specifically for the Heavenly Phoenix Divine Body.

Naturally, Gu Qingfeng did not have the Heavenly Phoenix Divine Body; he possessed the Ancient Immortal Body.

Regarding the Ancient Immortal Body, Gu Qingfeng also did not know much, only understanding that it was one of the oldest divine bodies in the world.

But whether or not the Ancient Immortal Body could cultivate the Nirvana Dao Scripture was, frankly, something Gu Qingfeng did not know.

"However—"

"Even if I do not have the Heavenly Phoenix Divine Body, if I use Upgrade Points to forcibly enhance and break through, perhaps I could successfully cultivate the Nirvana Dao Scripture!"

Gu Qingfeng pondered.

Compared to the Divine Sun Scripture, the Nirvana Dao Scripture was undoubtedly much more powerful.

Whether it was the upper limit or the strength that could be cultivated at each stage, the power of the Nirvana Dao Scripture was not something the Divine Sun Scripture could compare with.

Therefore,

if he could switch to cultivating the Nirvana Dao Scripture, Gu Qingfeng would naturally be willing.

Then,

there was the Heavenly Phoenix Divine Skill.

It was an unparalleled skill created by the Heavenly Phoenix Great Saint, which, strictly speaking, should be considered a Divine Skill.

Not only the Heavenly Phoenix Divine Skill was considered a Divine Skill, but even the Ancient Heavenly Blade, once cultivated by Gu Qingfeng, was actually a type of Divine Skill.

The reason being that at this level of supreme skill, it had long since transcended the confines of mere moves and favored the divine skills that are closer to Dao.

So,

such supreme skills could indeed be called divine skills.

...

Name: Gu Qingfeng

Age: 52/6000

Realm: Taoist Palace Realm, Sixth Layer

Martial Arts: Heavenly Vein Scripture (Second Layer), Heavenly Blade (Perfect), Great Wilderness Fist Scripture (Perfect), Divine Sun Scripture (Taoist Palace Chapter, Fourth Layer), Ancient Heavenly Blade (Small Success), Purple Extreme Dao Scripture (Perfect), Lei Feng Scripture (Not entered), Nirvana Dao Scripture (Not entered), Heavenly Phoenix Divine Skill (Not entered)

Upgrade Points: 444

...

After Gu Qingfeng had reviewed both the divine skills of the cultivation techniques, he looked at his attribute panel, and there it clearly showed the Nirvana Dao Scripture and the Heavenly Phoenix Divine Skill.

Seeing this,

a faint smile appeared on Gu Qingfeng's face,

"Indeed, it works!"

He had worried that the attribute panel might not include them, and if not, he would have no way to improve.

But now,

the attribute panel had recorded the inheritance of the Heavenly Phoenix Great Saint, meaning he could use his upgrade points to elevate these two supreme skills.

Subsequently,

Gu Qingfeng began to try and cultivate the Nirvana Dao Scripture.

The Nirvana Dao Scripture was divided into seven parts: Refining Body Chapter, Master Chapter, Grandmaster Chapter, Divine Transformation Chapter, Dao Palace Chapter, Saint Chapter, and finally, the Great Saint Chapter.

Be it the Divine Sun Scripture or the current Nirvana Dao Scripture, one could see that in the Five Domains of the Ancient Desolate World, the five realms of body refinement were always treated as a whole, without being overly detailed in division.

In contrast, the Martial Arts of the Nine States initially distinguished the five realms of body refinement individually.

The reason for this was because the practice of cultivation in the Nine States had declined, and it was unlikely for ordinary people to complete the five realms of Refining Organ, hence Murong Xiu made the distinction.

At the same time,

as the five realms of body refinement were a phase for polishing the foundation, so none of the layers included had any subdivisions. Upon entering the first level, one was in the Refining Skin Realm; on reaching the second level, one entered the Blood Refining Realm.

Accordingly,

when Gu Qingfeng was upgrading, he didn't need to advance through beginning, middle, late, and perfection stages of Refining Skin as he had done before.

Not only was the Nirvana Dao Scripture like this, but so was the previously mentioned Divine Sun Scripture.

In Gu Qingfeng's view, this situation probably arose due to the completeness of the martial arts.

The more complete the martial arts, the lower the consumption required for elevation; on the other hand, the more the martial arts were incomplete, the higher the consumption required for upgrading.

This was akin to the Breaking limits of Martial Arts.

In previous times, the Martial Arts of the Nine States were incomplete, making each progression complicated.

The current Divine Sun Scripture and Nirvana Dao Scripture, however, tended towards perfection and thus did not have this issue.

Of course,

whether this was actually the case, Gu Qingfeng could not be sure; it was merely his conjecture.

However,

Gu Qingfeng did not immediately begin cultivating the Nirvana Dao Scripture.

The reason being that he currently had only over four hundred upgrade points. Even if he used them all on the Nirvana Dao Scripture, at most it would allow him to step into the realm of Grandmaster.

No matter how extraordinary the Nirvana Dao Scripture was, merely cultivating it to the Grandmaster level wouldn't raise his power by much.

So,

it was natural that Gu Qingfeng wouldn't squander them wastefully.

At this time,

Gu Yang had also come in from outside.

"Father, I have arranged for the corpses of all cultivators to be transported to the Spirit Vein locations throughout the Nine States, to be buried there and enhance the foundation of the Nine States."

"That's for the best. In addition, these corpses must be strictly guarded and must not fall into the hands of magicians."

Gu Qingfeng issued a reminder.

Although the magicians of the Nine States were silent, they had not truly exterminated.

If the corpses of the strong from Divine Transformation Realm and Daoist Palace Realm were obtained by magicians, they would certainly bring a lot of trouble.

Although Gu Qingfeng was not afraid of these troubles, he loathed them.

Gu Yang said, "This matter has already been handled properly by the people I dispatched; they will not let those magicians find an opportunity to seize the corpses."

Speaking of this,

Gu Yang hesitated for a moment, then his Divine Thought moved, and he summoned the Divine Phoenix Tower from his Dantian.

"This Great Saint Treasure is a complete waste in my possession. Now that the Divine Martial Dynasty has offended many enemies, in my view, it would be most appropriate to keep this item in father's hands!"
