Half-step Bone Refining!
This was somewhat beyond the expectations of Gu Qingfeng.
He had thought that cultivating the Fiery Sun Divine Palm to Blood Refining Perfection was the limit, but he didn't expect to be able to advance further and reach the level of half-step Bone Refining.
However, upon further thought.
What Cloud Pavilion had said wasn't wrong.
Half-step Bone Refining was actually just the pinnacle of Blood Refining Perfection.
But no matter what.
The mysteriousness of the Fiery Sun Divine Palm had left Gu Qingfeng feeling pleasantly surprised.
Powerful martial arts.
If one could cultivate it to Perfection, its power would naturally be much greater.
However.
The complexity and depth of the Fiery Sun Divine Palm meant that the difficulty of cultivating this martial art would also greatly increase.
Afterward.
Gu Qingfeng glanced at his attribute panel.
...
Name: Gu Qingfeng
Age: 32/100
Realm: Mid-level Blood Refining
Martial Arts: Gu Family Boxing (Unbreakable Level 1), Iron Body Skills (Body as hard as iron Level 1), Big Stone Breaking Hand (Small Success), Iron Leg Skill (Small Success), Iron Refining Finger (Small Success), Fiery Sun Divine Palm (Not entered)
Upgrade Points: 0
——
As expected.
The Fiery Sun Divine Palm was still at the early stage of Not entered.
Gu Qingfeng realized another advantage of his Golden Finger: with all the martial arts in the world, he only needed to watch them earnestly once to record them all, and later with the Upgrade Points, he could instantly improve them.
In the following time.
Gu Qingfeng silently cultivated the Fiery Sun Divine Palm.
In the face of such martial arts, he temporarily put aside all other forms.
After all.
Having top-tier intermediate martial arts on hand, it would be wasting time to cultivate lower-level arts, which would be ignoring the essentials for the trivial.
Previously, Gu Qingfeng had to cultivate many inferior martial arts simply because he didn't have intermediate martial arts, hoping that quantity would spark a qualitative change.
While Gu Qingfeng was secluded in deep cultivation, White Stone Dao was also experiencing turbulence.
Mysterious experts appeared.
Combined with the numerous losses of Blood Refining Realm martial artists among the major forces, the originally tranquil Martial World was stirred up significantly.
Especially some forces that were previously suppressed by the two major forces were now entertaining restless ambitions.
...
Heavenly Cloud Sect.
Yun Tianxing stood respectfully in front of a certain courtyard, his complexion slightly pale, showing that his injuries had not much recovered.
A moment later.
The tightly closed courtyard gate opened, and a robed elder walked out from inside.
The elder appeared aged, but his eyes were bright and spirited, and his temples were bulging, obviously, his cultivation had reached a transformative realm.
When the elder just came out, Yun Tianxing felt a formidable surge of vital energy hit his face, causing a look of shock to appear on his face, which soon turned to delight.
"Supreme Elder has broken through!"
"Hmm, I fortunately broke through a few days ago!"
Yun Changkong nodded slightly, his face displaying a proud expression.
The tradition of the Heavenly Cloud Sect only allowed cultivation up to the Late-Stage Blood Refining, but he managed to break through to Blood Refining Perfection, successfully breaking the limits based on the heritage of the Heavenly Cloud Sect, thus stepping into this realm.
Throughout the entire history of the Heavenly Cloud Sect, no one had managed to break the limits.
Therefore.
Yun Changkong had earned the right to be proud.
Afterward,
he looked at Yun Tianxing in front of him, furrowing his brow again, "You've been injured?"
"Indeed..."
Yun Tianxing revealed a bitter smile, only able to recount the incidents that had occurred in full detail.
By the time he finished, a chilling killing intent suddenly burst forth from Yun Changkong.
"What a Qin Family, what an Iron Bone Gang, thinking my Heavenly Cloud Sect can be easily molded, both families must give my Heavenly Cloud Sect an explanation.
Otherwise, we will not let this matter rest!"
The strength of the Heavenly Cloud Sect itself was not weak; it was merely without a top-tier expert to lead, which was why it appeared inferior to the Qin Family and the Iron Bone Gang.
But now that Yun Changkong himself had attained Blood Refining Perfection, his strength was comparable to the top experts from those two major powers, thus he naturally possessed the confidence to demand an explanation.
After all,
the Heavenly Cloud Sect had not suffered light losses this time.
Not only did it lose two Mid-level Blood Refining Elders, but it also lost a top mid-rank Martial Art, no matter what, the two families must give an explanation.
Originally, Yun Changkong had been in seclusion, trying to reach Blood Refining Perfection, which was why he had sent Yun Tianxing and other sect experts to White Stone City to seize the Fiery Sun Divine Palm.
Unexpectedly,
an accident still occurred.
Afterward,
Yun Changkong's eyes constricted, and he asked sternly again, "You said that in the end, Qin Wei, that old thing, died at the hands of a mysterious expert. Who is this person? Does the sect have any clear information?"
"The mysterious expert was very secretive in his actions. The martial skills he used seemed to be Mountain Shattering Fist, but they were much more refined than Mountain Shattering Fist. I suspect this person might have cultivated Mountain Shattering Fist to the Breakthrough level."
Yun Tianxing reported the information he had gathered without any concealment.
Upon hearing this, Yun Changkong's brow slightly furrowed, "Mountain Shattering Fist is just a low-grade Martial Art, even if it's at Breakthrough, its strength is hardly beyond an ordinary Blood Refining Realm.
According to what you said, this person has already cultivated Qi Blood Smoke, and with Breakthrough Mountain Shattering Fist, slaughtering numerous Blood Refining Realm warriors shows his foundation is not simple!"
A formidable enemy!
That was Yun Changkong's thought.
If it were him, he might not be able to achieve what the opponent did.
However,
the number of strong experts in White Stone Dao was limited. If someone truly possessed such strength, it wouldn't be possible for them to remain low-key and inconspicuous.
Thus,
in Yun Changkong's view, it was very likely that the person was not a martial artist from White Stone Dao and had appeared possibly targeting the middle-rank Martial Arts.
Now that the mysterious expert had succeeded, he might have already left White Stone Dao.
Therefore, Yun Changkong temporarily stopped thinking about this matter.
Moreover,
the mysterious expert killing six Blood Refining Realm warriors from both powers, in Yun Changkong's view, seemed more like an ally of the Heavenly Cloud Sect.
After all, the enemy of an enemy is a friend.
Both families lost three Blood Refining Realm members each, including two Mid-level and one Late Stage, when compared, the Heavenly Cloud Sect, although also suffering heavy losses, still gave Yun Changkong some peace of mind.
Immediately,
Yun Changkong left the Heavenly Cloud Sect and headed toward White Stone City.
This matter,
both families must give an explanation.
...
That day,
in front of the Qin Family residence, a brocade-clothed elder approached, and as the Qin Family guard was about to speak, he was blasted away by a mighty force, smashing the Qin Family's main gate.
The massive disturbance instantly changed the expressions of those around and also alarmed the people inside the Qin Family.
"Who dares to act so presumptuously at the Qin Family!"
A cold voice came forth, and soon a Qin Family martial artist appeared.
At that moment,
Yun Changkong's blood and energy erupted, terrifying blood qi transforming into rolling smoke that rose up, a fearsome aura spreading out, causing the newly appeared Qin Family martial artist's face to turn pale, and even his breathing became difficult.
"I, Yun Changkong of the Heavenly Cloud Sect, have come today asking for an explanation from your Qin Family!"
Yun Changkong's voice, full of anger, spread throughout the area.
