Come On, Son! You Got to Breakthrough Now!

Gu Qingfeng stood with his hands behind his back, his expression calm.

Then, he raised his hand, and a drop of golden blood separated from his fingertip, transforming into a figure in front of Gu Fengchen.

The latter looked at the figure and found that it was exactly the same as Gu Qingfeng, even the aura was indistinguishable. This scene naturally left Gu Fengchen full of shock.

"Ancestor, this is..."

"This is a transformation from a drop of my blood. You may use all your strength to attack, let me see the results of your two years of hard work.

Remember, do not hold back. I want to see your full strength!"

Gu Qingfeng said.

His words entered Gu Fengchen's ears, causing a great shock in the latter's heart.

Blood Transformation!

Just by observing the aura of this avatar, Gu Fengchen understood that it was definitely not simple.

Immediately.

Gu Fengchen did not hesitate, and he unleashed all his strength. A torrent of powerful and terrifying energy burst from his body, followed by a punch that caused the very space to crack and shatter.

The avatar stood with its hands behind its back, and only when the attack was upon it did it extend its right hand, using a finger to gently disband the entire force.

Seeing this.

Gu Fengchen's pupils contracted, and then he moved his steps, causing a Divine Sword to suddenly appear. Blinding sword light transformed into countless Sword Qi that attacked the avatar from all angles

But the latter kept its left hand behind its back, only using its right hand to defend. It appeared slow, but it was able to break every Sword Qi, rendering Gu Fengchen's fierce onslaught ineffective against the avatar.

A moment later.

The avatar finally moved, and its right hand shot out with a punch. It was an attack that seemed to embody the Great Tao's simplicity, making Gu Fengchen feel as if the surrounding space was completely sealed, leaving him no way to retreat.

"Kill!"

If there was no retreat, then there was no need to retreat.

Gu Fengchen's eyes became ruthless, and the thousands of Sword Qi suddenly condensed together, eventually transforming into a Heaven-Reaching Sword, fiercely slashing down towards the avatar.

"Boom—"

The two forces collided, and the Heaven-Reaching Sword Qi instantly disintegrated. Then the avatar took a step through space and instantly appeared before Gu Fengchen, pointing a finger at his forehead but stopped right before touching his skin.

Drip!

Sweat dripped down Gu Fengchen's forehead, and the avatar's finger was only an inch from his brow, as if just a little closer and it could pierce flesh and blood.

Moreover, the power contained in the fingertip lay dormant. If it erupted, Gu Fengchen had no doubt that his mind would be completely blasted apart.

For the first time.

Gu Fengchen was so close to death.

The strength he prided himself on was so weak at this moment.

An unprecedented sense of defeat arose in Gu Fengchen's heart.

He lost!

Lost to a mere avatar formed from a single drop of his ancestor's blood.

Given Gu Qingfeng's strength, defeating himself was naturally normal. If he were truly suppressed by his ancestor, Gu Fengchen would feel no sense of defeat.

However.

This was just a drop of Gu Qingfeng's blood.

The two were fundamentally not comparable.

Seeing Gu Fengchen's defeated expression, Gu Qingfeng waved his sleeve, and the drop of blood returned to his body.

"Your defeat is normal, my single drop of blood can suppress a Saint. No matter how strong the Star Tao Body, you remain merely at the ninth level of the Divine Transformation Realm.

With your current cultivation, naturally you cannot be a match for my avatar!"

Gu Qingfeng spoke indifferently. His words made Gu Fengchen look much better, and he then expressed a bitter yet respectful smile.

"Ancestor, your skills are divine, this grandson is utterly convinced!"

A drop of blood can suppress a Saint.

Such an existence had completely surpassed his understanding.

Gu Qingfeng said: "Your strength is quite good. Although at the ninth level of the Divine Transformation Realm, the power of that final sword was enough to match a cultivator at the sixth level of the Dao Palace Realm.

It seems your cultivation during this period was indeed not slack, and the Star Tao Body is even more extraordinary than I imagined!"

This sentence.

Was an acknowledgment of Gu Fengchen's strength.

A Divine Transformation Realm ninth-level rivaling a Dao Palace Realm sixth-level, such strength naturally needed no further explanation.

Other cultivators would find it difficult to reach such a level.

Let alone rivaling a Dao Palace Realm sixth-level, even matching a beginner of the Dao Palace Realm from the ninth level of the Divine Transformation Realm was a question.

Overcoming obstacles in battle!

It's not something everyone can achieve.

Since ancient times.

Only the truly gifted could fight across realms.

Someone like Gu Fengchen, able to fight several minor realms above, was even more rare.

Afterward.

Gu Qingfeng flicked a finger, and a stele appeared in front of him.

"This stele records a cultivation technique called the Taoist Scripture, the core heritage of our Gu Family. As a descendant of the Gu Family, you may cultivate the Taoist Scripture. Although it currently only involves cultivation methods reaching the Dao Palace Realm, it is more than enough!

Even though you have trained in the Abyss Scripture and the Taixu Star Domain Scripture, the foundation laid by them in the levels below the Dao Palace Realm is inferior to the Taoist Scripture.

You are to take this stele back to the Gu Family and hand it to Gu Yang!"

"This grandson obeys!"

Gu Fengchen, disregarding the shock in his heart, hurriedly stored the stele into his storage ring and left according to Gu Qingfeng's instructions.

The Taoist Scripture!

The Gu Family's legacy!

Gu Fengchen understood why Gu Qingfeng secluded himself.

His ancestor's purpose for seclusion was to create a legacy for the Gu Family.

Evidently.

The Taoist Scripture was the cultivation technique he created.

If anyone else had claimed that any cultivation technique could rival or even surpass the Taixu Star Domain Scripture or the Abyss Scripture, Gu Fengchen would have scoffed.

After all, both Imperial Scriptures are considered top-tier, and very few heritages in the world can truly compare, let alone surpass.

But coming from Gu Qingfeng, Gu Fengchen had not the slightest doubt.

With the release of the Taoist Scripture.

Gu Fengchen understood that the foundation of the Gu Family was about to increase significantly.

Watching Gu Fengchen leave, Gu Qingfeng resumed his seclusion.

For him.

The Taoist Scripture that directly points to the ninth level of the Dao Palace Realm was just a beginning, barely the embryonic form of the Gu Family's heritage, far from complete.

What Gu Qingfeng had to do was to continue to refine and perfect the Taoist Scripture.

He aimed for the Taoist Scripture to ascend to become the Imperial Scripture, the greatest since ancient times.

Of course.

Despite such ambitions, Gu Qingfeng understood the immense difficulty in reaching that level.

However.

If a person has no dreams.

Then what difference is there from a salted fish?

Gu Qingfeng now had enough time to slowly refine the Taoist Scripture, and he naturally had the confidence.

Nonetheless.

Gu Qingfeng did not immediately go back into seclusion.

Having rarely emerged once, he also needed to relax a bit.

In the following days.

Gu Qingfeng enveloped Kushan Immortal City with his Divine Thought, gaining a sufficient understanding of the changes in this Immortal City, then summoned Jiang Nanfeng and some of the geniuses from the Demon Suppression Bureau, giving them some guidance in cultivation.

At Gu Qingfeng's level, guiding cultivators below the Saint realm was a simple task.

With a word or two, he could make a person suddenly see the light.

Among them.

Jiang Nanfeng benefited greatly.

The latter felt that if not for the Heavenly Dao's suppression, he might have used this opportunity to break directly through the Dao Palace Realm's shackles and advance into the Saint Realm in one go.

Even so, Jiang Nanfeng felt his strength had increased considerably, and when the great era of strife arrives, he expects to break through to the Saint Realm.

This development was previously unimaginable for Jiang Nanfeng.

As a former Nine States prodigy, there was a time when he only aimed to break into the Dao Palace Realm. But now, he was on the verge of achieving the Saint Realm and beyond.

Yet, Jiang Nanfeng harbored no vanity.

He knew that it was because of Gu Qingfeng's guidance that he reached this point, and had his ancestor not supported him during the demon invasion, he might have perished in Sand City long ago.

Therefore.

In his heart, Jiang Nanfeng held an increasing reverence for Gu Qingfeng.
