Even though Gu Yang now controlled the entire Qingyun State, he had only tasked Shi Zhen with assembling a Heavenly Gang Army composed entirely of the Blood Refining Realm, numbering thirty-six thousand strong.
This was the true elite of Qingyun State.
Or rather,
it was the elite of the elite.
With Shi Zhen leading them, a grandmaster adept with the essence of blood and qi, and combining their might with the Heavenly Gang Divine Evil Array, surrounding and annihilating a True Intent Master posed no problem.
That’s right,
Shi Zhen had already ascended to the Grandmaster Realm.
Two years ago,
with a lavish investment of resources and the martial arts provided by Gu Yang, Shi Zhen had successfully shattered the barrier to Refining Organ and was ennobled as a master.
Moreover,
this was not just any Innate Grandmaster, but a grandmaster in the blood and qi path.
This was the first genuine Grandmaster Realm powerhouse that Gu Yang had cultivated.
With Shi Zhen’s loyalty unquestioned, it was only natural for Gu Yang to place him in command of the Heavenly Gang Army.
"News from Ling Province, the Supreme Elder of Taisu Sect is suspected of breaking through, becoming the sole Divinity Realm being of this era.
Now headed towards the Central Plains, once the issues there are resolved, my Qingyun State will most certainly be Taisu Sect’s next target."
"An army is maintained for years but used in an instant. After several years of recuperation, I hope the Heavenly Gang Army will not disappoint me in the upcoming battle!"
Gu Yang said in a deep voice.
His words
made Shi Zhen’s face jerk in response, before he solemnly said, "Your Majesty, rest assured, should Taisu Sect dare to invade, the Heavenly Gang Army will fight to the last man and the last breath, never allowing them to threaten Qingyun State by even a hair’s breadth!"
"Go."
Gu Yang waved his hand, dismissing him.
He had intended to have Gu Yi relay this news back to the Gu Family Manor, but upon further thought, Gu Yang abandoned this plan.
After all, he was well aware that his father’s reach was vast, and it was likely that the latter had known of the news from Ling Province before himself.
It was at that moment,
Gu Yang sensed movement behind him, and turning around, he saw a woman walking gracefully towards him, his face immediately breaking into a warm smile.
"Li, you’re here!"
...
"Fu Zhao!"
"The Supreme Elder of Taisu Sect!"
Inside the Gu Family Manor, just as Gu Yang had anticipated, Gu Qingfeng had indeed received the news ahead of time from the Hidden Guards and was informed about the happenings in Ling Province.
At this moment,
within the great hall,
Gu Peng was also seated at a lower position.
"Manor Master, it is said that the figure from Taisu Sect has been half a step from Divinity Realm for several hundred years, having always been in seclusion, striving for that final stride.
Could his emergence now indicate a successful breakthrough?"
Gu Peng’s expression was grave.
He might not have fully grasped the terror of the Divinity Realm, but one thing he could ascertain: in front of such a high-level being, even a Martial Arts Grandmaster might not be worth a flick of the enemy’s finger.
Divinity Realm stood high above the Transformation Realm, after all.
And a Transformation Realm powerhouse could easily suppress a common Martial Arts Grandmaster.
Within their respective realms,
Magicians reigned supreme.
This was an acknowledged truth within the Martial World.
Of course,

this did not include the Gu Family Manor.
Since practicing Longevity Skills, Gu Peng felt an invincible power within his realm, and although he had not yet grasped True Intent or stepped into the ranks of True Intent Masters nor advanced further to confirm himself as a Martial Arts Grandmaster,
within the same realm, Gu Peng believed he could suppress many grandmasters in the Martial World.
Longevity Skills in five chapters,
enabled a martial artist to craft a perfect foundation.
Even among masters, the disparity could be astonishing.
Although Gu Peng had not yet brought Longevity Skills to Perfection in the Refining Organ Chapter and had only stepped into the Bone Refining Chapter, it was already more than sufficient.

Gu Qingfeng said, "Unless unexpected, that person should have broken through to the Divinity Realm."
"Is it said that the existence of the Divinity Realm can be compared with the Martial Ancestor from thousands of years ago; do you have the confidence to contend with him?"
Gu Peng couldn’t help but ask.
Right now in Qingyun State, the one with the best chance of facing Fu Zhao was none other than the man before him.
"Whether I can contend with him will only be clear after a true confrontation, but our Gu Family Manor has been established in Qingyun State for twenty years, and it won’t be easy for anyone to shake our foundation; Taisu Sect alone might not be enough!"
Gu Qingfeng’s demeanor remained calm, showing not a trace of nervousness about the Divinity Realm.
Seeing this,
Gu Peng’s heart relaxed.
Based on his understanding of Gu Qingfeng, if the latter dared to speak with such certainty, then it meant he had confidence in suppressing Fu Zhao.
With this assurance,
Gu Peng had no worries.
At this time,
Gu Qingfeng looked at Gu Peng and asked, "Are you currently practicing the Sun and Moon Fist Scripture?"
"Indeed, I have practiced the Sun and Moon Fist Scripture for many years, but it’s unfortunate that I’ve never truly been able to enter the threshold!"
Gu Peng showed a bitter smile.
The difficulty of mastering a grandmaster’s martial art was far higher than he’d expected; even as an Innate Grandmaster and having pondered the Sun and Moon Fist Scripture for many years, he had never grasped the true intent of a grandmaster nor could he enter the door to this martial art.
For many years,
Gu Peng had only touched upon the mere surface of the Sun and Moon Fist Scripture.
In the end,
it was due to his insufficient talent.
Otherwise, he would not have lingered in the Refining Skin Realm for decades.
Gu Qingfeng handed a scroll from his chest to Gu Peng, saying, "This is a manual I’ve written during my spare time; it contains a fraction of the true intent of the Sun and Moon Fist Scripture. If you can comprehend it, it may enable you to step into the True Intent Master realm more quickly!"
"Your subordinate thanks you, Manor Master!"
With a delighted expression, Gu Peng hurriedly received the master’s scroll with both hands.
A scroll containing the true intent of a grandmaster was certainly precious.
"Go."
Gu Qingfeng waved his hand, and Gu Peng respectfully withdrew.
