Chapter 148: Chapter 148: Taking Down Guangyang Prefecture

Heavenly Vein True Scripture (First Level)!

...

Gu Qingfeng introspected himself, only to see that within his body there had already condensed blood-colored veins, distinct from the other meridians in his body and permeated with an ancient, barbaric aura.

Heavenly Vein!

This was the Heavenly Vein mentioned in the Heavenly Vein True Scripture.

Perceiving the mysterious aura in the Heavenly Vein, he could already see a glimpse of its power.

Instantly,

Gu Qingfeng tried to activate the Heavenly Vein.

In a flash,

the Heavenly Vein vibrated.

A strength, more formidable than any he had experienced before, awakened from within the Heavenly Vein. It seemed to connect with the heavens and earth, and in an instant, Gu Qingfeng's physical strength and blood surged violently.

Moments later,

the power gradually subsided.

Gu Qingfeng let out a breath, his face unable to hide his excitement.

"So this is the Heavenly Vein!"

"This vein can connect heaven and earth, borrowing the power of the cosmos. No wonder that condensing the Heavenly Vein can greatly increase a martial artist's strength, so it is!"

Heavenly Vein! Heavenly Vein!

The most important aspect lies in the word "heaven."

This vein can communicate with heaven and earth.

At the moment he activated the Heavenly Vein, Gu Qingfeng felt, for the first time, the overwhelming strength coming from the cosmos.

According to the Heavenly Vein True Scripture, condensing a single Heavenly Vein could double one's strength.

Before truly starting the Heavenly Vein True Scripture, Gu Qingfeng was skeptical.

But now,

he no longer had any doubts.

With the formidable power of the Heavenly Vein, it was clear that the descriptions in the Heavenly Vein True Scripture were utterly truthful.

After the shock,

Gu Qingfeng's expression also flickered.

"With the strength of the Heavenly Vein True Scripture, the creator of this martial art must have been an unfathomably powerful being, at least of the Great Grandmaster level."

"And with the strength of such a being, if they were to condense the Nine Great Heavenly Veins, they could likely dominate the world unchallenged."

Having truly experienced the power of the Heavenly Vein True Scripture,

he was somewhat curious about who had created the Heavenly Vein True Scripture.

Normally,

if someone created the Heavenly Vein True Scripture, they would not be a nobody.

However,

There have been many powerful individuals in the world, but Gu Qingfeng had never heard any mention of the Heavenly Vein True Scripture.

But from the current perspective, with Great Grandmasters having lifespans of eight hundred years, it's possible that the creator of the Heavenly Vein True Scripture had long since passed away.

Shaking his head,

Gu Qingfeng decided to set this matter aside for now.

Where the Heavenly Vein True Scripture came from and who created it weren't as important to him at the moment.

What truly mattered was,

the Heavenly Vein True Scripture indeed enhanced his strength, and that was enough.

Subsequently,

Gu Qingfeng looked again at his attribute panel to see how many Upgrade Points were required to elevate the Heavenly Vein True Scripture to the Second Level.

But the next moment,

his brows furrowed.

"One thousand Upgrade Points!"

"Ten times amplification—"

Gu Qingfeng's pupils contracted.

Starting from the Heavenly Vein True Scripture with one hundred Upgrade Points, he knew that if he wanted to continue upgrading, it would require a substantial number of Upgrade Points.

One thousand Upgrade Points.

That was what was needed to condense the second Heavenly Vein.

Clearly,

that was already comparable to breaking through the Great Grandmaster level in martial arts.

From this,

Gu Qingfeng suspected that the class of the Heavenly Vein True Scripture might be even higher than that of Great Grandmaster martial arts.

Unfortunately,

so far, the attribute panel had not displayed the ability to show the class of martial arts.

Therefore,

regarding the class of the Heavenly Vein True Scripture, Gu Qingfeng could only hold a speculative idea.

Afterward,

Gu Qingfeng glanced at the attribute panel and continued his secluded cultivation.

——

"Bone Refining Realm achieved!"

Inside the secret room, Gu Yang opened his eyes, a fierce killing intent bursting forth, emitting a dominant and chilling aura that was daunting to behold.

He had broken through to the Bone Refining Realm.

He was not as excited as he had imagined.

It seemed as if this breakthrough was bound to happen.

In fact,

it indeed was.

Gu Yang had never doubted his ability to break through to the Bone Refining Realm.

His goal,

at the very least, was the Master level.

After all, his father was a Great Grandmaster; although he might not be able to match his father, he still needed to break through to the Master level.

Previously, Gu Yang's ambitions weren't so grand.

But as the power of his group grew, along with Gu Qingfeng's displayed strength and reputation, as the manor master of the Gu Family Manor now, Gu Yang naturally refused to be outdone by others.

Not to mention a Great Grandmaster.

At the very least, he needed to break through to the Master level.

Once his cultivation had broken through,

Gu Yang left his seclusion immediately.

In the grand hall's sand table, Guangyang Prefecture was now half under his control.

The banners of the Gu Family Army had completely overwhelmed the court and the Divine Martial Army.

Moreover,

with Pei Jing's downfall and the ensuing chaos within the Divine Martial Army, many generals tried to split this force and aspire to become kings themselves.

Unfortunately,

under the iron cavalry led by Gu Yang's Gu Family Army, these forces attempting to establish independence were exterminated one by one, with none able to withstand the advance of Gu Family Army.

This was only natural.

After all, the current Gu Family Army numbered nearly six hundred thousand, with the Hidden Guard, a force that could be described as top-notch, secretly assisting.

Not to mention a Guangyang Prefecture.

Even the whole of Taishan County, with such a force, was within their reach.

From the time Gu Yang mobilized his troops,

to now, seizing half of Guangyang Prefecture,

it had only been two months.

Looking at the military generals and the leader of the Hidden Guards in the hall, Gu Yang said in a deep voice, "I want, within a month, for only one voice to be heard in Guangyang Prefecture, that of my Gu Family Army. Can you achieve this?"

"Your subordinates are willing to die for our lord!"

Numerous generals spoke in unison.

They were not from Gu Family Manor and naturally didn't need to address Gu Yang as the manor master.

To this,

Gu Yang waved his hand grandly.

"Consolidate the army, I want to take over the entire Guangyang Prefecture within a month!"

"Yes!"

Many generals bowed and took their orders.

...

Half a day later.

The army was mobilized once again.

This time,

Gu Yang divided his forces into three, directly targeting the remaining territories of Guangyang Prefecture.

Under the assassinations and persuasions by the strong members of his iron cavalry and Hidden Guards, the resistance in Guangyang Prefecture significantly weakened, and within just twenty days, both the court's army and the Divine Martial Army were utterly defeated.

Thus,

Guangyang Prefecture fell under Gu Yang's control.

As Guangyang Prefecture fell, the news quickly spread, and all other prefectures in Taishan County soon received word.

Seeing the intelligence in their hands, many people were visibly shocked.

From the time Gu Yang raised his army, to the complete fall of Guangyang Prefecture, it had been less than three months.

Such momentum,

was much stronger than Pei Jing's initial conquests.

After all, Pei Jing rose quickly in the past because of the support from the Pei Family, the prefectural governors of one county. But comparatively, though the Great Grandmaster presided over Gu Family Manor, he had not intervened more than a few times.

The reason Guangyang Prefecture fell so swiftly, in the eyes of other forces, was solely reliant on Gu Yang's own foundation and strategies.

That,

certainly left them in awe.
