All-class Gu Immortal

Chapter 267 Dual Cultivation of Gu and Martial Arts Breaks Through the Realm (Part 3)

Huanglong Mountain.

The main hall of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect.

Wei Sheng sat at the head of the long table, with Wei Hongyu and Wei Mingcheng on his left and right respectively. Further down the table were the elders of the White Cloud lineage brought from the Five Poisons Sect, as well as the newly promoted Blood Exchange Realm Grand Martial Masters in recent years.

The Ten Thousand Poisons Sect, which had only been established for a little over half a year, already had more than ten Blood Exchange Realm Grand Martial Masters, making it an absolute top force in the Southern Border.

However, everyone present knew in their hearts that the rise and fall of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect depended entirely on one person, and that person was Zhou Qing.

Eight months ago, the news of Zhou Qing's departure was only known to the higher-ups of the Wan Du Men.

"Sect Master, several elders from the Five Poisons Sect have sent another letter from Tianzhu Mountain. We don't know how to reply." At this moment, Elder He of the White Cloud lineage took out a letter from his bosom, breaking the silence of the meeting.

Wei Sheng took the letter and was about to open it when Wei Hongyu reached out and snatched it away.

If it were anyone else, even Wei Mingcheng, Elder He might have said something. However, Wei Hongyu was a figure of equal status to Wei Sheng, the 'Sect Master,' and her cultivation was second only to Wei Sheng. Therefore, Elder He's face twitched slightly, but he did not say anything.

"Just reply to the Five Poisons Sect as before. We'll discuss everything once Ah Qing returns." Wei Hongyu put the letter away without even looking at it.

"But..." Elder He hesitated.

Since it was confirmed that the patriarch Wan Shentong had died, the prestige of the Five Poisons Sect has declined significantly.

Now that Wan Guiliu has been killed, and without a Grand Martial Master at the Qi and Blood Furnace Realm to oversee things, the Five Poisons Sect has suffered a major blow. Not to mention being a top-tier power, even its status as a first-rate power is in jeopardy.

Those who originally owned territory and the benefits they had to give up a portion of it.

However, if the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect is willing to step in, then the various forces in Nanli County will not dare to make things difficult for the Five Poisons Sect.

Several elders of the Five Poisons Sect even proposed merging the Five Poisons Sect into the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect, a proposal that was agreed upon by the Wan family.

Today, the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect can truly be called the sole ruler of the Southern Frontier. Even the two grandmasters far away in Shuntian Prefecture City have long since sent people to befriend the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect.

The current predicament of the Five Poisons Sect doesn't even require Zhou Qing to intervene; Wei Sheng, as the sect leader, only needs to mention it.

However, the elders of the Five Poisons Sect today are either martial artists from the White Cloud lineage who were driven out by Wan Guiliu, or newly promoted Blood Exchange Realm cultivators, and they do not have much goodwill towards the Five Poisons Sect.

Elder He was the only one who valued old friendships, mainly because of the past ancestor.

"As long as our sect is safe, the Five Poisons Sect will certainly be safe. Our ancestor has been kind to our Wei family, and we will never sit idly by and watch the Five Poisons Sect decline or perish. But now, compared to the Five Poisons Sect, our sect's problems are far more serious," Wei Hongyu said in a deep voice, glancing at Wei Mingcheng.

Wei Mingcheng stood up, his expression solemn, and said:
"We recently caught several spies from the Giant Kun Gang within the sect. It is said that the Giant Kun Gang is planning a major operation recently, which is very likely related to their former leader, Liang Gui."

If Junior Brother Zhou were still alive, with the backup plan left by his master, he could still deal with Liang Gui.

But now that Junior Brother Zhou is out, we must be very careful.

If we agree to allow the disciples of the Five Poisons Sect to relocate to our sect, there will be too many people talking and it could easily cause chaos.

Even if they don't uncover any confidential information, if someone spreads rumors and the Giant Kun Gang believes them, they'll be in big trouble.

"What?! Is the Giant Kun Gang going to attack our sect?"

Upon hearing this, everyone's faces immediately changed color.

Having a grandmaster lurking nearby is truly unsettling, far more important than the Five Poisons Sect's affairs.

"Sect Master, do you know when Elder Zhou will return?" Elder He asked hurriedly.

"It's not clear yet." Wei Sheng shook his head. Actually, there was another thing that only the three members of the Wei family knew: they couldn't contact Zhou Qing at all.

"Everyone, there's no need to panic. Just relax on the surface but stay vigilant on the inside. Don't give outsiders any opportunity to take advantage of us. Everything else will remain as usual," Wei Sheng reassured everyone.

"Yes, we will obey the sect leader's orders!" everyone said in unison.

In the valley at the very bottom of Niangwu Creek.

The wooden god gu, which was originally over thirty feet tall, has now grown to over a hundred feet tall, and its canopy almost covers half of the valley, extending beyond the range of the valley's miasma.

The wood-attribute power of heaven and earth within a radius of hundreds of miles was converging towards the Wood God Gu, and was slowly absorbed by the branches, leaves and trunk.

"Roar~!"

If someone can venture deep into the valley and reach the bottom of the Wood God Gu, they will hear the roar of a dragon coming from within it.

At this moment, inside the Wood God Gu, Zhou Qing sat cross-legged on the ground. His protective aura and blood energy had completely disappeared, and a miniature dragon less than three feet long was circling above his head.

"I never expected that it would take eight months to condense the 'Will of the Poison Dragon'."

Zhou Qing reached out his hand, and the true form of the dragon fell into his palm. He gently stroked it, and a feeling of blood connection returned to him.

Although the dragon was not large, it possessed a powerful aura and a lifelike appearance. Not only were every scale clearly visible, but even its eyes shone with a dark purple light, making it seem no different from a real dragon.

However, if one possesses a strong soul, one can use their spiritual power to see through the surface of the dragon and discover that its interior is composed of qi, blood, magic power, and a mass of extremely dark essence blood.

"Now that I possess the will of martial arts, I can truly compete with grandmasters solely based on martial arts."

The aura emanating from this true form of the poisonous dragon is somewhere between the half-step Three Flowers Gathering at the Top and the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top.

The difference in strength between someone who has undergone twelve blood transfusions at their peak and someone who is at the half-step Three Flowers Gathering at the Top is only about one-fold.

The difference in strength between a half-step Three Flowers Gathering at the Top and a Three Flowers Gathering at the Top is at least three times, and usually more than five times.

Zhou Qing himself, plus the newly formed Poison Dragon True Body, is at least equivalent to three half-step Three Flowers Gathering at the Top.

In other words, based solely on his martial arts cultivation, he should be able to compete with those bottom-ranked grandmasters.

For example, Xie Qianjue a while ago, Zhou Qing felt that he was relatively weak among the Grandmasters.

If we take him as the unit, Zhou Qing now possesses the power of 'one Xie'.

"When attempting to achieve the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top, one can further strengthen the Poison Dragon True Body by utilizing the Martial Arts Spiritual Body."

After the breakthrough, the Poison Dragon's true form should also possess Grandmaster-level combat power.

Zhou Qing felt that everything had reached its current limit.

"We've finally reached this point!"

boom!
He unleashed his full power of energy, condensing a furnace of energy and blood above his head, absorbing a large amount of the power of heaven and earth to infuse his body, and officially began his attempt to achieve the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top.

hum! !

Before long, a beam of spiritual energy shot straight into the sky, piercing through the darkness for miles and illuminating the area as if it were daytime.

The enormous vortex of spiritual energy slowly spread outwards.

"Who has broken through here?!"

The closest barbarian and beast soul clan elders were the first to sense this sudden celestial phenomenon.
