Come On, Son! You Got to Breakthrough Now!-Chapter 180 Half a Year

"The court wanted His Honor to make a trip to Central State, but His Majesty dismissed the idea using His Honor’s seclusion as an excuse," said Gu Yi.

Gu Qingfeng’s expression remained calm, "The Taixuan Dynasty is setting like the sun in the west, those Immortal Sects and noble families will not let them truly continue on.

Now, whoever aids the Taixuan Dynasty’s revival becomes the enemy of the Immortal Sects and noble families of the world.

Given the circumstances, why should the Gu Family Manor get involved at all?"

Although Gu Qingfeng did not fear the Immortal Sects and noble families, the words he had released in Guangyang Prefecture City had completely offended all the magicians across the land.

But despite the offense,

there was no need to get involved in the affairs of Central State now.

Gu Qingfeng did not like the noble clans or sects, nor did he like the Taixuan Dynasty.

If they wished to fight, he would let them.

As for whether the Taixuan Dynasty would be furious over this, it seemed insignificant to Gu Qingfeng.

After all, if the other party was already struggling to take care of themselves in Central State, how could they have the capacity to reach out to Guangyang Prefecture?

Even if they did,

should anyone dare to extend their reach to Guangyang Prefecture now, Gu Qingfeng would personally sever it.

"Your Majesty, the Jinyi Guard has reported that Mr. Zhao was ambushed on his way back to Central State, and his whereabouts are currently unknown!" said the commander of the Jinyi Guard in a grave voice inside the Central State Imperial Study Room.

The statement sent Ji Chunqiu into a fury.

"Daring to ambush a court official, they really must be tired of living!"

Zhao Hai had been ambushed.

This truly made Ji Chunqiu angry.

After all, he had spent many years cultivating Zhao Hai by his side, investing significantly to raise him to the realm of a True Intent Master.

But now,

Zhao Hai had been ambushed, and from any perspective, it was a direct affront to the royal family’s dignity.

The so-called ’whereabouts unknown’ was a situation Ji Chunqiu understood all too well.

Then,

Ji Chunqiu suppressed his anger and looked towards the commander of the Jinyi Guard, asking, "Has there been any activity in Qingyun State?"

"No movements," replied the commander, shaking his head.

Upon hearing this,

Ji Chunqiu’s eyes grew colder.

"Hmph, a tiger fallen flat on the plains, they truly believe the Taixuan Dynasty is at its end!"

By bestowing the rebellious title of Guangyang Prince and granting the esteemed position of State Preceptor and Martial Saint, Ji Chunqiu believed he had shown significant respect to the other party.

But now it seemed the Guangyang Prince had not given him any face at all.

This incident,

Ji Chunqiu would remember.

Since Qingyun State wished to sit on the hill and watch the tigers fight, then once he had resolved Central State’s troubles, he would take his time to settle the score.

"Martial Saints of Martial Arts!"

"Greater than a Great Grandmaster—"

"For such mighty beings, it would be best if they could serve the court, otherwise, there’s no need for them to exist!"

As Ji Chunqiu’s thoughts concluded, he waved his hand to dismiss the man before him and then left the Imperial Study Room, heading towards the royal forbidden area.

The situation in Central State was unpredictable and ever-changing.

There were also undercurrents surging within Qingyun State.

Gu Qingfeng continued his secluded cultivation in the Grinding Blade Hall of the Gu Family Manor, delving into the mysteries of the Longevity Skills, cultivating the Pure Yang True Body, and grasping the essence of the Domineering Blade Slash and the Grandmaster’s Ultimate Skill of the Sun and Moon Fist Scripture.

The significance of the first two needs no further explanation.

As for the latter two,

the Grandmaster True Intent of both skills was at the ninth level, the peak of the Grandmaster stage.

Beyond that,

lay the True Intent of a Great Grandmaster.

Great Grandmasters were distinguished as either ordinary Great Grandmasters or True Intent Great Grandmasters.

What set them apart was

the rare occurrence of a Great Grandmaster in the world.

Even for ordinary Great Grandmasters, those who could truly break through were rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns, and True Intent Masters were even scarcer.

In the blink of an eye.

Half a year had passed.

Over this half-year,

Gu Qingfeng had succeeded in creating the Marrow Cleansing Chapter of the Longevity Skills, but the Pure Yang True Body remained at the beginner stage, without making small success.

Regarding this,

he understood.

Even with his own realm of an Extreme Dao Master, cultivating a Master’s Cultivation Technique was still not an easy task; without the realm of an Extreme Dao Master, progress would likely be even more difficult.

In comparison,

Gu Qingfeng had indeed gained some insights into Domineering Blade Slash and Sun and Moon Fist Scripture.

He had a premonition.

If he could truly grasp this understanding and then merge the two Martial Arts, there was hope to create a top-notch ultimate skill that could break through the Master barrier.

Such an ultimate skill

would enable one to step into the realm of a Great Grandmaster.

And during this half-year period,

there were some changes in the information panel as well.

First off,

was Gu Yang’s gradual recovery over the half-year, and an impulse to continue expanding outward.

Next,

were Gu Xuan and Gu Xiu making another breakthrough, successfully stepping from the initial stage into the mid-level of the Blood Refining Realm.

Gu Shengnan, having her physique nurtured by an Innate Grandmaster, had also made an involuntary breakthrough to the mid-level of Refining Skin.

Regarding this,

Gu Qingfeng suspected.

Perhaps when Gu Shengnan truly engaged with Martial Arts, she could step into the Blood Refining Realm.

The breakthroughs of the younger generation brought Gu Qingfeng forty-two upgrade points.

However,

the only regret was,

that over this half-year, Gu Yang’s cultivation remained at the late stage of Bone Refining, without further progress.

But for such a situation, Gu Qingfeng was also resigned in his heart.

It was not easy to break through the Bone Refining Realm.

Strictly speaking, Gu Yang had only just broken through to the mid-level of Bone Refining a bit more than half a year ago; wanting to make another breakthrough within half a year was, of course, impossible.

Even with the Divine Martial Sect’s secret elixirs that could facilitate breakthroughs, it was the same.

Any secret elixir

had its limitations; it was not possible to use them endlessly, for that would only damage one’s foundational strength.

Elixirs rewarded by the information panel, on the other hand, did not have this concern.

For this reason,

Gu Qingfeng also had many elixirs that he could not use himself, such as Blood Refining Pills and Bone Refining Pills, delivered to Gu Yang and the others for their cultivation.

...

"It’s almost time!"

Inside the Prince Mansion, Gu Yang’s eyes were coldly determined, facing him were the many generals of what was now the Guangyang Army.

Since he had proclaimed himself as a king, and the court had subsequently granted him official recognition, the title "Guangyang Prince" was legitimate and justified.

Therefore,

The Gu Family Army had naturally been renamed the Guangyang Army.

After half a year of recuperation, supported by the land of Taishan County as a base, Gu Yang now commanded a grand army of one hundred and thirty thousand troops.

Moreover,

these one hundred and thirty thousand troops were not just recruits for show; half of them could be considered veterans, and although the remaining half were new troops, they had gone through rigorous training, with battle prowess far from weak.

"Intelligence from the Hidden Guard reports that the rebel kings have now formed an alliance, combining forces to besiege the court. The Taixuan Dynasty is on the verge of falling apart."

"And since the death of Pei Jing, Qingyun State’s various counties have been in disarray, unlikely to see the rise of a power capable of unity."

"This,"

"is the opportunity for our Guangyang Army!"

Gu Yang, looking at the people below, spoke in a calm tone, but it carried an unquestionable dominance.

Having said this,

Gu Yang approached the sand table, directly placing the flag of the Guangyang Army on a county, speaking in a deep voice.

"Nanyang County!"

"This will be the next target for our Guangyang Army!"
