"Divine Transformation Realm?"
Fu He felt as if he were living in a dream, as the Blood Cloud Ancestor, who had roamed the Eastern Domain for many years, was forcefully slain on the spot without any chance to resist.
Even within Taixu Sacred Land, it was considered top-tier.
Fu He had believed Gu Qingfeng to be just a cultivator of the Divine Transformation Realm, having learned of Gu Qingfeng's battle record from Gu Xuan and thus had some understanding of his strength.
Gu Qingfeng wasn't very old.
Compared to other cultivators in the Divine Transformation Realm in the Eastern Domain who typically practiced for hundreds or even thousands of years, this person had only practiced for a mere few decades.
Being able to step into the Divine Transformation Realm in just a few decades was already quite astonishing.
Even in the Eastern Domain, only a few demons could achieve this.
Now someone was telling him that Gu Qingfeng was not in the Divine Transformation Realm, but was a top-tier Dao Palace Realm expert. How could this not shock Fu He?
Not just Fu He was shocked.
Even Gu Xuan next to him was dumbfounded.
He had never expected.
That his own father's strength was hidden so deeply.
Defeating a Third Level Dao Palace Realm expert in two moves had truly opened Gu Xuan's eyes.
Fu He shook his head and wryly smiled. "It seems your previous concerns were unnecessary. With your father's strength, even if the Saint Inheritance truly is in his hands, I fear no one would dare covet it."
Gu Qingfeng suddenly looked over, and under their mutual gaze, Fu He felt a terrifying pressure emerge suddenly, as if a mighty Heavenly Blade was slashing down, instinctively making him want to turn and run.
Gu Qingfeng merely glanced and then withdrew his gaze.
Fu He's back was soaked with sweat, and his awe for Gu Qingfeng intensified.
Just one look had made him feel as if he could have fallen right then and there.
If this person wanted to kill him, it would probably just be a thought away.
Inspired awe in Fu He.
Gu Qingfeng landed in Xing'an County, the terrifying pressure that dominated the void had dissipated, but all the external cultivators felt as if a great mountain weighed upon their hearts, making it nearly impossible for them to breathe.
The scene of the Blood Cloud Ancestor's fall was deeply engraved in their minds.
Having such a powerhouse stationed here naturally deterred the other cultivators from making rash moves.
Inside the government office.
The county magistrate, Su Guangdao, stood in front of Gu Qingfeng with a face full of respect, bowing deeply. "This official has seen Mr. Gu. Thanks to Mr. Gu's intervention, our Xing'an County was saved from disaster."
Regarding Gu Qingfeng's act of directly killing the Blood Cloud Ancestor, Su Guangdao felt even more reverence.
The power of the Blood Cloud Ancestor was something Su Guangdao witnessed, as not even using Xing'an County's Qi Fortune could withstand a single strike from him.
If it weren't for Gu Qingfeng's appearance, Xing'an County might now be utterly devastated.
Su Guangdao did not doubt at all.
After all, the Divine Martial Dynasty had only been established not long ago. Su Guangdao could not forget the chaotic situation during the last years of the great dynasty, when magicians and evil spirits wreaked havoc and city slaughters were common.
It wasn't until Emperor Gu of the Divine Martial Dynasty established his rule, refining the Nine Tripods to suppress the Nine States, that he managed to exterminate the world's evil spirits and even made the magicians vanish entirely.
If Gu Qingfeng hadn't appeared.
Then the fate of Xing'an County would be all too clear.
Gu Qingfeng looked at the person before him, his expression also somewhat pleased.
A cultivator at the fifth level of Refining Organ having the courage to face a Dao Palace Realm expert outright was a bravery not many possessed.
Gu Qingfeng flicked his finger, and two bottles of elixir appeared before Su Guangdao.
"These two types of elixirs, one being Refining Organ Pill, can aid you in cultivating your organs. Although you have already stepped into the fifth level of Refining Organ, your organ refining is not yet perfect.
The other is the Golden Body Pill, which should be used by Grandmasters, but with your current cultivation, you can barely consume it. This pill can help you refine your physical body and blood qi, helping you step into the Grandmaster Realm more quickly."
"This official thanks Mr. Gu immensely!"
Su Guangdao's face overflowed with excitement, clutching the two bottles of elixir tightly, his joy clearly visible.
Breaking through to Grandmaster!
This had always been his long-standing wish.
Even now, with the Divine Martial Dynasty promoting martial arts throughout the land, and as a court official, he could access many cultivation techniques and knowledge previously hard to obtain, truly stepping into the Grandmaster Realm was not so easy.
Especially with this incident involving the Blood Cloud Ancestor, it made Su Guangdao realize his own weaknesses more clearly.
Being at the fifth level of Refining Organ.
In previous times, such a level could establish a school and possess a notable status in the Martial World.
After all, in that era, when martial arts were in decline, not many cultivators were able to step into the Grandmaster Realm, so reaching the fifth level of Refining Organ was extraordinary.
But now, as the court promotes martial arts throughout the land and martial arts are gradually flourishing, this visit by external experts has shown Su Guangdao how vast the world is.
The cultivation of the fifth level of Refining Organ seemed somewhat insufficient.
Gu Qingfeng then asked, "What cultivation technique are you currently practicing?"
"Reporting to the elder, this official is currently practicing Mysterious Thunder True Skill!"
Su Guangdao stated truthfully.
"This is a cultivation technique at the Grandmaster level. If practiced to perfection, you can reach the peak of the Grandmaster Realm. Unfortunately, this official is dull-witted, and I have not yet been able to break through the Grandmaster Realm."
