"Your descendant ’Gu Xiu’ has gained some insights into the ’Sun and Moon Fist Scripture,’ resulting in a slight increase in strength!"


    "Your descendant ’Gu Xiu’ has contemplated the master’s hand-written notes and has initially grasped the ’Sun and Moon True Intent!’"


    "Your descendant ’Gu Xuan’ has contemplated the ’Heavenly Blade True Intent’ and has somewhat understood it, initially grasping the ’Heavenly Blade True Intent!’"


    "Your descendant ’Gu Yang’ has learned of the intelligence from Central Province and is integrating the army, wanting to battle the Taisu Sect!"


    "Your descendant..."


    ...


    During the time Gu Qingfeng was in seclusion, the information panel was also constantly refreshing.


    Seeing Gu Shengnan make a breakthrough, he was not too surprised.


    After all, Gu Shengnan had reached Blood Refining Perfection for some time, and for ordinary people, it would naturally be impossible to break through to the Bone Refining Realm in such a short time.


    But.


    Gu Shengnan was different.


    Her talent could be considered the most formidable Gu Qingfeng had seen so far, and the resources of Gu Family Manor were also abundant, so it was quite normal for Gu Shengnan to make a breakthrough.


    "Xuan’er and Xiu’er having entered the Beginner level of True Intent is not bad, but to truly master the Grandmaster’s True Intent, there is still a long road ahead!" Gu Qingfeng thought to himself.


    Beginner level of True Intent.


    And Grandmaster’s True Intent.


    These were two entirely different concepts.


    To enter the Beginner level of True Intent, one only needed to grasp the first level of True Intent, while for the Grandmaster’s True Intent, it was necessary to grasp six levels of True Intent.


    True Intent was difficult to comprehend, and to elevate it to the level of six levels of True Intent was even more challenging.


    Of course.


    Even so.


    For both of them to have grasped the first level of True Intent with their current Bone Refining Realm Cultivation, it was quite commendable.


    Martial Artists of the same realm.


    Few could control True Intent at this stage.


    Even.


    Shi Zhen immediately said, "Your Majesty can rest assured, if the Spirit King Army dares to come, I will ensure they are defeated without return!"


    Thirty-six thousand men of the Heavenly Gang Army, this was Shi Zhen’s greatest confidence.


    Hearing this, the other generals also followed suit, clasping their fists.


    "Indeed, our Qingyun State is not something a mere Spirit King can easily manipulate!"


    "The Taisu Sect has been committing indiscriminate slaughter in Central Province, treating the common people like livestock and ants, such actions will certainly backfire, angering heaven and the people. If it comes to war, the people’s hearts will definitely be with Your Majesty, and we have nothing to fear from such a battle!"


    "Our Qingyun State will not tolerate invasion; we will fight to the death!"


    Over the years, Gu Yang’s various people-benefiting policies in Qingyun State had been witnessed by them.


    Combined with Fu Zhao’s massacre in Central Province, if Qingyun State were to fall, they could well imagine what fate would befall them.


    Therefore.


    Upon learning that the Spirit King Army intended to attack Taishan County, no one present harbored any thoughts of retreat.


    However.


    The likes of Gu Yun and the few Sword Daoists appeared to be much more solemn.


    "A mere Spirit King is of little concern, but the real issue now is the Taisu Sect’s Supreme Elder in the Divinity Realm. A force in the Divinity Realm can already manipulate evil spirits and form forbidden zones.


    Where such a zone exists, even a million-strong army would struggle to match!"


    The Sword Daoist spoke with a grave voice.


    Against such a powerful figure, to be honest, even he lacked the confidence to fight.


    Let alone that the Sword Daoist had just broken through to Martial Arts Grandmaster not many years ago, what could he do even as a top-tier True Intent Grandmaster?


    In front of a supreme being who could conjure forbidden zones, a True Intent Grandmaster was entirely insignificant.


    Even without having personally fought against such a high-level powerhouse, through past records on the Divinity Realm, the Sword Daoist was aware of the terrifying strength such powerhouses possessed.


    When they heard the words ’Divinity Realm,’ everyone’s expressions grew solemn.


    Indeed.


    They were not afraid of the Spirit King Army.


    Even if the adversary controlled the lands of two provinces, so what?


    Qingyun State’s recuperation over the years meant they possessed a ready-to-fight army of three million, many of whom were elite forces.
