This year,

Gu Qingfeng was fifty years old.

Gu Yang was twenty-nine, and already had control over a great majority of the Nine States.

A year had passed.

Gu Shengxing and Gu Shengan had also reached the age of Martial Arts training, and Gu Yang had sent the two directly to the Gu Family Manor.

In this,

Gu Qingfeng was also generous with his guidance.

After all, they were his grandchildren, and he found no reason to refuse.

The two, being the progeny of Gu Yang’s profound cultivation and also having been tempered by masters from a young age and consuming numerous precious secret medicines to cleanse their genetic constitution,

were naturally gifted in talent.

Originally, even before engaging in Martial Arts training, they were both already in the late stage of the Refining Skin Realm, and after receiving teachings on the Longevity Skills from Gu Qingfeng and directions in their cultivation, it did not take long for them to step into the Perfection of the Refining Skin Realm.

Moving forward,

they would be able to attempt the Blood Refining Realm.

Gu Qingfeng took notice of these changes.

Thus, when he saw the notification in the attribute panel concerning their breakthroughs, Gu Qingfeng was not too surprised.

“Shengxing and Shengan have good talent, but they are still somewhat lacking compared to Shengnan!”

Gu Qingfeng slightly shook his head.

Logically,

since both were progeny of Gu Yang’s profound legacy, they should innately possess stronger talents than Gu Shengnan.

However, this was not the case.

Gu Shengnan’s talents were significantly stronger than theirs.

This shows that not all offspring of profoundly cultivated individuals would necessarily have great talents, and likewise, the descendants of ordinary people might not have mediocre talents.

These things merely concern probability issues.

Of course,

there was also another point.

Although Gu Shengxing and Gu Shengan’s talents were not as exceptional as Gu Shengnan’s, they would still be considered geniuses in the outside world.

Immediately,

Gu Qingfeng looked at his own attribute panel.

…

Name: Gu Qingfeng

Age: 50/3000

Realm: Late Stage Extreme Dao Master

Martial Arts: Heavenly Thunder Sword Skills (Beginner), Prajnaparamita Sutra (Thirteenth Layer, Perfection, Prajnaparamita True Body Level Twelve), Heavenly Vein Scripture (Second Layer), Longevity Skills (Perfection, Longevity Level Five), Pure Yang True Body (Perfection, Pure Yang Body Level Four), Heavenly Blade (Perfection, Heavenly Blade Domain Level One), Blood Refining Scripture (Seventh Layer, Divine Blood Level Seven), Divine Transformation (Perfection, Divine Speed Level Four)

Upgrade Points: 342

…

“Fifty years old!”

Gu Qingfeng felt somewhat sentimental.

At fifty, one knows heaven’s mandate!

For ordinary people, this age signifies having lived over half a lifetime.

But for him, being fifty years old did not affect him much.

His vitality was abundant.

His body was robust.

Apart from making Gu Qingfeng seem much more mature, the traces of the years hardly left any mark on him.

But this was quite normal.

For ordinary people with a lifespan of less than a hundred years, fifty years might be more than half a lifetime.

But for Gu Qingfeng, with a lifespan of three thousand years, fifty years was truly insignificant.

Even at five hundred years old,

it might not make him feel aged.

Such an extended lifespan naturally had its enormous benefits.

After a moment,

Gu Qingfeng set aside his inner reflections and looked at the Blood Refining Scripture, immediately using the upgrade points to bring this cultivation technique to perfection.

He had intended to cultivate the Blood Refining Scripture on his own, but unfortunately, while his intentions were good, reality often diverged significantly from his expectations.

In this period,

Gu Qingfeng had been continually practicing the Blood Refining Scripture.

But unfortunately,

he had never managed to bring this technique to perfection.

With sufficient upgrade points available, Gu Qingfeng no longer wanted to waste any more time.

As soon as he thought about it, the corresponding upgrade points vanished, and the Blood Refining Scripture was directly elevated from the seventh layer to the eighth layer, achieving the state of perfection.

“Boom!”

The Blood Refining Scripture reached perfection.

Gu Qingfeng only felt a terrifying and majestic surge of blood energy emerging from his body, and as the blood churned, it seemed to be undergoing some intense transformations.

Rolling waves of blood energy flowed.

Like rivers rushing.

Gu Qingfeng could clearly sense that his strength was gradually increasing, advancing toward a higher level.

But the sensation did not last long and slowly faded away.

Finally.

Gu Qingfeng opened his eyes and exhaled a long breath.

…

Blood Refining Scripture (Perfection, Divine Blood Level 8)!

…

“The Blood Refining Scripture has finally been perfected, it’s just a pity that it didn’t allow me to break through to the state of Perfection of an Extreme Dao Master,”

Gu Qingfeng looked somewhat regretful.

He could clearly feel the robustness of his blood energy, as if he was just one step away from a breakthrough, seemingly needing just a bit more power to take that step.

But.

Almost was still not enough.

Gu Qingfeng also understood that his perception was merely an illusion.

What seemed like just a step away from a breakthrough was, in reality, not as simple as it felt.

However.

Even if his cultivation level had not advanced.

Achieving perfection in the Blood Refining Scripture had still enhanced his strength.

Meanwhile.

Gu Qingfeng had no intention of breaking the limits of the Blood Refining Scripture, as it was already a top-tier Grandmaster’s Ultimate Skill, and advancing further would mean stepping into a higher realm.

That level would require two thousand upgrade points.

Therefore, Gu Qingfeng decided to cultivate other martial arts.

Currently, Gu Yang controlled most of the Nine States, and the martial arts he had collected were numerous, even rare Grandmaster’s Ultimate Skills numbered more than a few.

These martial arts.

Were now stored in the Grinding Blade Hall.

These martial arts included swordsmanship, fist skills, those primarily focused on nurturing True Qi, and others focused on refining the flesh and bolstering blood energy.

A moment later.

Gu Qingfeng finally set his sights on a martial art.

The Sixteen-foot Golden Body!

This was a Buddhist Ultimate Skill!

Thousands of years ago, a Buddhist Grandmaster sat in meditation for three hundred years and comprehended this top-tier martial art under the Bodhi Tree.

If this martial art could be cultivated to great success, one could forge a Buddha-like golden body, impervious to blades and fire, and even ensure that the body would not decay for a thousand years even after death.

It could be said.

The Sixteen-foot Golden Body was a martial art not inferior to the Blood Refining Scripture.

Regarding the existence of Buddhism.

Gu Qingfeng was also aware.

Thousands of years ago.

Buddhism flourished, serving as the national religion of the former dynasty.

However, as the former dynasty fell and the Taixuan Dynasty rose, Buddhism was targeted for purging; many Buddhist temples were eradicated, and numerous monks perished.

Until now.

Buddhism still existed in the world, but it was now considered lowly and hardly reached the elegant gatherings.

But regardless.

Buddhism was indeed glorious in the past.

At its peak, there were many top-tier experts.

The Sixteen-foot Golden Body was accidentally discovered by Gu Yang in an old Buddhist site and then delivered into Gu Qingfeng’s hands.

Gu Qingfeng could only reckon that Gu Yang’s possession of such ancient top-tier martial arts was due to his immense Qi Fortune.

The concept of Qi Fortune.

Gu Qingfeng certainly believed in it.

Especially after becoming aware of the existence of the Immortal Casting Court, Gu Qingfeng became even more convinced of the reality of Qi Fortune.

Gu Yang being able to inherit many mysterious legacies and find the methods of the Immortal Casting Court indicated great Qi Fortune.

A good while passed.

Gu Qingfeng finally committed everything about the Sixteen-foot Golden Body to memory.

Subsequently.

The attribute panel also displayed the records of the Sixteen-foot Golden Body.

This martial art, like the Blood Refining Scripture, started at the Grandmaster level.

Differently.

The Sixteen-foot Golden Body remarkably had nine layers, with the eighth layer pointing directly to the peak of a Great Grandmaster, and although the ninth layer did not break through the limit of a Great Grandmaster, it subtly touched upon an even more profound realm.

Before properly studying the Sixteen-foot Golden Body in-depth, Gu Qingfeng thought this martial art was equivalent to the Blood Refining Scripture.

But now upon closer inspection.

This martial skill was even stronger than the Blood Refining Scripture.
