Come On, Son! You Got to Breakthrough Now!

Chapter 323: Chapter 242 Heavenly Martial Sect_2

And then,

came the Divine Blood Elixir.

The efficacy of such an elixir was even more precious than that of the Divine Blood Stone.

Therefore, when Gu Yang bestowed such an array of resources, the gratitude of Nanyue Mountain was boundless.

“Alright, go and cultivate well, strive to break through to the Divine Transformation Realm quickly!”

“This subordinate shall take his leave!”

Nanyue Mountain bowed and took three steps back before turning to leave.

Gu Yang watched the retreating figure, shaking his head slightly, “The time of the Heavenly Patrol Guard is indeed too short, if there had been decades for development, how could it be in such a state!”

Cultivation was not something achieved overnight, but rather something that required a cyclic and gradual approach.

An elixir like the Grandmaster Ascension Pill that could directly propel one to the peak of the Grandmaster rank was exceedingly rare.

Even Gu Yang had never heard of such an elixir from any other cultivators of the Ancient Desolate World.

For this reason,

Gu Yang also tried to inquire with Gu Qingfeng to see if there were any more of these elixirs in existence, but the answer he got was, tragically, no.

This answer,

did not arouse any suspicion from Gu Yang.

After all, such a heaven-defying elixir was destined to be scarce in number.

So, without the Direct Ascension Pill, the only way for Gu Yang to develop the Heavenly Patrol Guard was to go step by step, at most slightly tilting the court’s resources to accelerate the growth of the Heavenly Patrol Guard.

At the same time,

in order to truly control the Heavenly Patrol Guard, Gu Yang even assigned two Hidden Guards as deputy commanders.

It wasn’t that he didn’t trust Nanyue Mountain, but that one had to always be prepared for any eventuality.

The Heavenly Patrol Guard was a sharp blade in the hands of the court, and Gu Yang did not wish for the day when the blade he had painstakingly nurtured would wound himself.

Therefore,

the Heavenly Patrol Guard was fated never to dominate alone.

If asked who Gu Yang trusted more between Nanyue Mountain and the Hidden Guard, truth be told, Gu Yang inclined more toward the latter.

…

“Your Death Soldier ‘Li Changfeng’ has been promoted, and become the deputy commander of the Heavenly Patrol Guard!”

“Your Death Soldier ‘Shen Xinghai’ has been promoted, and become the deputy commander of the Heavenly Patrol Guard!”

“Your Death Soldier…”

“Your Death Soldier ‘Gu Shishiliu’ unexpectedly acquired Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, greatly advancing his cultivation, and breaking through to the Initial Stage of the Grandmaster!”

“Your Death Soldier ‘Shen Zhongyi’ was attacked by cultivators *16!”

“Your Death Soldier ‘Shen Zhongyi’ killed several in retaliation but was gravely injured and broke out of an encirclement!”

“Your Death Soldier ‘Liu Yuan’ accidentally entered a perilous area and perished at the jaws of Fierce Beasts!”

“Your Death Soldier ‘Hong Ye’ assassinated a Late Stage Grandmaster cultivator!”

“Your Death Soldier ‘Gu Wu’ established the Heavenly Martial Sect!”

“Your Death Soldier ‘Gu Yu’ fortuitously found the cave dwelling of an ancient powerhouse, obtaining a mysterious legacy!”

“Your Death Soldier…”

…

While Gu Yang was secretly developing the Heavenly Patrol Guard and Hidden Guard, Gu Qingfeng also saw the many changes amongst the Death Soldiers of the Hidden Guard on the information panel.

Some Hidden Guards unexpectedly acquired Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, making significant progress in their cultivation, while others perished due to various reasons.

What’s more,

some directly entered the ancient caves, obtaining tremendous opportunities.

Observing the information,

Gu Qingfeng couldn’t help but mull over it silently.

“It seems these Death Soldiers obtained from the system are not only to be kept in hand for cultivation; letting them all disperse could actually lead to quite a few surprises!”

Gu Qingfeng hadn’t had such a direct sensation before.

But since the information panel had divided into two sections, this sensation had become much more intuitive.

The whereabouts of each Death Soldier, as well as the opportunities they came across or certain changes they brought, were all reflected on the information panel.

Three thousand Death Soldiers of the Hidden Guard.

If all were concentrated together, they’d be nothing more than a group of cultivators with decent talent.

But if they were dispersed, it was the potential for limitless possibilities.

You must understand.

All Death Soldiers were wholeheartedly loyal to Gu Qingfeng, with one hundred percent fidelity. There was absolutely no possibility of betrayal.

In this way,

even if some Death Soldiers became stronger than himself in the future, Gu Qingfeng would not worry about them posing a threat.

On the contrary,

among so many Death Soldiers, who could guarantee that one of them carried greater Qi Fortune?

If by chance someone encountered an incredible stroke of luck, they might become a top-notch power.

Although this probability was very low, if the number was high enough, anything was possible.

This cultivator named Gu Yu had entered an ancient cave dwelling left by a former cultivator and received the legacy of a powerful being.

“Heavenly Martial Sect, it seems the court wants to establish its own sect in the Eastern Domain as a base of power!”

Gu Qingfeng looked at Gu Wu forming the Heavenly Martial Sect, his eyes exhibiting an imperceptible fluctuation.

There were benefits to creating a sect.

Moreover,

with Gu Wu’s cultivation at the Nine Layers of the Divine Transformation Realm, he certainly qualified to establish a sect in the Eastern Domain.

After all, in this era without Saints, a Semi-Saint was considered a top power. Many so-called Holy Lands in reality didn’t have a Semi-Saint. They only had Daoist Palace Realm Cultivators.

Even weaker Holy Lands didn’t have Daoist Palace Realm Cultivators at all.

Just like the now-destroyed Divine Sun Sacred Land, which only had a cultivator at the threshold of the Daoist Palace Realm.

Therefore,

reaching the Nine Layers of the Divine Transformation Realm already made one a formidable presence.

Given this,

there was no problem with founding a sect.

Afterwards,

Gu Qingfeng glanced again at the information panel for his offspring. There wasn’t much change, except that Gu Xiu was still in dire straits, constantly under attack by numerous cultivators every few days, for reasons unknown.

Having reviewed all the information panels,

Gu Qingfeng continued to study the methods of Artifact Refining.

——

In the Ancient Desolate World,

in the Eastern Domain,

within Heavenly Martial Mountain, one could see temples and halls everywhere, and at the mountain gate stood a stone stele several zhang high, inscribed by hand with several large characters.

Heavenly Martial Sect!

“This place is rich with nature’s spiritual energy, establishing the Heavenly Martial Sect here will allow us to make steady progress!”

Gu Wu wore a broad Daoist robe, decorated with elaborate landscapes that seemed to reflect rivers and mountains. His demeanor was steady, already displaying the bearing of a sect leader.

On this trip, Gu Wu followed Gu Yang’s orders, leading a group of Hidden Guards to the Eastern Domain, secretly establishing a foothold as the eyes and ears of the Divine Martial Dynasty in the Eastern Domain, while also delivering necessary resources.

After all, the Nine States were barren, and even though nature’s spiritual energy had largely recovered, Nine States’ resources for cultivation could not compare to other parts of the Ancient Desolate World.

Hence, the resources of the Eastern Domain were needed by the court.

Gu Wu looked at the gathering of sect elder members before him, all of whom had previously been members of the Hidden Guard, but now had the additional identity of being the Heavenly Martial Sect’s upper echelon for concealment.

The place for the Heavenly Martial Sect had been occupied by bandits, but not long ago, Gu Wu led the Hidden Guard and took it by force, renaming it to Heavenly Martial Mountain, and casually established the sect known as the Heavenly Martial Sect.

The reason for founding the sect here was also the result of Gu Wu’s thorough investigation.

Around Heavenly Martial Mountain, there were many smaller sects, but overall, their strength wasn’t too formidable. Some of the stronger sects had Divine Transformation Realm Cultivators at the helm, while some of the weaker ones were led by Grandmasters.

Also, because of the numerous and complex forces in the area, establishing the Heavenly Martial Sect here could lead to some attention, but it was enough to conceal identities.

Another important point

was that the local powers were not too strong. With Gu Wu’s Divine Transformation Realm Nine Layers cultivation level, if any issue arose, he could suppress the situation.

For various reasons,

Gu Wu indeed needed to establish a sect foundation here.

After a short pause,

Gu Wu declared, “The Heavenly Martial Sect is now established. Spread the word, the Heavenly Martial Sect will have a grand opening in one month, and anyone below the age of sixteen is welcome to come.”

“Yes!”

All the upper-level members of the Heavenly Martial Sect bowed and accepted the command.

“Go!”

“This time, the Heavenly Martial Sect has officially laid down its foundation!”

Gu Wu’s grand gesture was met with a fierce excitement on his face.

It was true that he served the Divine Martial Dynasty, but now that he had created his own sect, Gu Wu had invested much of himself. Of course, he hoped the Heavenly Martial Sect would thrive.
