"The true meaning of the Tyrant Sword is level six!"
A cold light suddenly appeared in Gu Qingfeng's eyes.
Immediately, he activated the true meaning of the Tyrant Sword, directly attacking the true meaning of the Grandmaster and stimulating the true meaning of the Grandmaster hidden within.
"Boom—"
The two collided.
Gu Qingfeng's level six Dominant Sword true meaning shattered.
Seeing this, Gu Qingfeng understood in his heart: "The sixth level of Tyrant Sword True Meaning can only be regarded as the threshold of Grandmaster True Meaning, but compared to the Grandmaster True Meaning in the portrait before me, it is still far behind!"
According to the Zhuo family, the true meaning of the master here was left behind by a powerful individual who was close to becoming a grandmaster. Naturally, the true intention of such a strong person is beyond his current ability to comprehend.
However, this time, Gu Qingfeng could clearly feel that the true meaning contained in the Grandmaster's true intention was much weaker than before.
It was evident that the true meaning here did not exist eternally. As time passed and each person comprehended it, its true power was passively consumed.
"Only when you reach the sixth level of True Meaning can you enter the Grandmaster stage!"
"Only those who have mastered the true meaning of level six or above can truly be called junior masters!"
"Although the second-level killing true meaning is powerful, it is still a level behind the sixth-level true meaning—"
Gu Qingfeng secretly clenched his fists, and all the information about the Tyrant Blade Slash appeared in his mind.
You could say that this time he comprehended the Dominant Sword Slash, Gu Qingfeng became a true junior master. Only when one's own cultivation reached the Grandmaster level could one be considered a true Grandmaster.
At this moment, although Gu Qingfeng's cultivation did not make a breakthrough, mastering the true Dominant Sword Slash doubled his strength.
The effect was much more powerful than merely breaking through to the second level of organ refining. After all, with the Dominant Sword, Gu Qingfeng was confident he could defeat his former self in seconds.
Then, Gu Qingfeng turned his attention to other aspects.
There was no need to elaborate on the Blood Refining Pills and Bone Refining Pills; they were old friends.
Next, he considered the marrow cleansing pills. This was the first time Gu Qingfeng had obtained a pill that involved marrow cleansing.
In the past, Blood Refining Pills and Bone Refining Pills not only enhanced a warrior's strength but also fortified their foundation. The benefits they provided were undeniable.
However, every type of elixir has its upper limit. After taking about a hundred Blood Refining Pills and Bone Refining Pills, the enhanced foundation would reach its peak.
Earlier, Gu Qingfeng had already consumed a hundred Bone Refining Pills to gradually temper his golden bones.
Now, compared to warriors of the same level, his golden bones were more than twice as powerful.
So, at this moment, the Bone Refining Pill was truly useless to Gu Qingfeng.
One hundred Bone Refining Pills was the limit. If he continued to take them, it would only serve to enhance his cultivation.
But here's the thing: the Bone Refining Pill can only be consumed by warriors at the Bone Refining stage to enhance their cultivation. Since Gu Qingfeng was already a junior master of Organ Refining, it would be a waste for him to take it.
On the other hand, the marrow cleansing pill was different.
This elixir was the first Gu Qingfeng had ever obtained, and taking it could strengthen his foundation, thus improving his strength to a higher level.
Of course, among many rewards, the final sword-maintaining technique was what Gu Qingfeng cared about most.
Secret technique! It was the first time he had heard of such a thing.
When Gu Qingfeng took the secret technique out of his inventory, he examined it carefully and finally understood its purpose.
Unlike martial arts, a secret technique is a special method. The sword-maintaining technique that Gu Qingfeng obtained this time focused on how to nourish a magic weapon with qi and blood, ultimately allowing the two to communicate with each other's minds and function as seamlessly as one's own arm.
That wasn't all. This method of sword maintenance could even slowly improve the rank of the magic weapon.
In a sense, the effectiveness of the sword-maintaining technique was much more powerful than any of the master's secret skills.
However, the skill of maintaining a sword also takes time to hone. After all, it requires nourishing with one's own blood every day, supplemented by specific means. Only after many years can one truly achieve a level of telepathy.
Additionally, the art of sword-keeping has a prerequisite for practice: the warrior must comprehend the true meaning.
…
After half a day's work, Gu Qingfeng memorized all the knowledge about sword maintenance in his mind. He then took out the Zhuxie Sword.
The long sword was unsheathed, and the slightly yellowed blade flashed with a cold light.
Gu Qingfeng concentrated and held his breath, reviewing the details about sword-maintaining techniques. He then cut his own finger with the long sword, letting blood flow from the wound.
Immediately, Gu Qingfeng focused entirely, using his blood as ink to carve mysterious patterns on the blade bit by bit.
At the same time, he needed to constantly move the long sword with his true intention to awaken the sword's spirituality and speed up the maintenance process.
Only in this way could it be considered true sword maintenance.
Otherwise, simply nourishing with blood would not qualify as proper sword maintenance and would have little effect.
When Gu Qingfeng finished the last stroke, a faint light began to appear on the blade. All the blood slowly seeped into the blade in a strange manner, disappearing in less than a moment.
Looking at the Zhuxie Sword again, the previously yellowish blade now exhibited a barely perceptible blood color, which added an air of mystery.
"This is the first time I have completed sword training!"
Gu Qingfeng's gaze fell on the Zhuxie Sword. After finishing the first maintenance, he seemed to feel a connection forming between himself and the sword.
However, this connection was very weak and not easily detectable.
This was normal; the art of sword maintenance cannot be mastered overnight. With enough time spent maintaining the sword, the results would become evident.
…
The next day, Gu Qingfeng met Gu Yang.
After breaking through to the middle stage of blood refining, Gu Yang's aura had become increasingly powerful, but more importantly, it was the elusive murderous aura that lingered about him.
These changes were the result of his extensive killing.
"You killed a lot of people these days?" Gu Qingfeng picked up a teacup and took a sip, then fixed his gaze on Gu Yang.
Hearing this, Gu Yang nodded and replied, "These people have disturbed our Baishidao, ignored the reputation of our Gujiazhuang, and wantonly slaughtered many people. I will suppress them with iron and blood.
Otherwise, if we allow these people to continue committing crimes, Baishidao will descend into chaos!"
As he spoke, Gu Yang's murderous intent became more pronounced.
Gu Qingfeng scrutinized him for a few breaths, then nodded slightly. "Well, you can kill these people, but don't let killing blind your heart. That will not benefit your practice."
"The child understands!" Gu Yang's expression straightened and then became firm.
"It's just like what my father said: the order of this world is corrupt. My Gu Family Village cannot control the world, but we can control Baishidao. If we want to re-establish order here, we have to stop killing with killing!"
