Chapter 39: Chapter 39 Black Xuan Guard

    ?

    Hongjiang Prefecture.

    The army was stationed.

    Inside the prefectural city, an aura of sternness permeated-it was somewhat peaceful. Outside the city, corpses and severed limbs were scattered everywhere, and copious amounts of fresh blood dyed the land red.

    Within the government office of the prefectural city, a middle-aged man with a square face was handling affairs, wearing a black-and-gold robe, his expression stern and naturally imposing, as behooved someone of high status.

    At that moment,

    someone came inside and bowed to the middle-aged man.

    "Black Xuan Guard Baihu Sitian greets Your Majesty!"

    "What is the matter?"

    Pei Jing looked up and glanced at the man, his expression indifferent.

    Sitian said, "There is a secret letter from Taishan County, Guangyang Prefecture for Your Majesty to review!"

    As he spoke,

    Sitian handed over a secret letter.

    Pei Jing opened the letter, quickly scanning the entire content.

    "Why has this secret letter taken so long to reach me?"

    His expression turned slightly grim.

    The contents of the secret letter were several months old by now; although there was some distance between Taishan County and Dan Yang County, it shouldn''t have taken this long.

    The moment he finished speaking, a terrifying aura emanated from Pei Jing, causing Sitian to kneel down with a thump, his face filled with fear.

    "Your Majesty, please calm your anger. The situation in Taishan County is tightly sealed off by its Prefectural Governor. Many of my Black Xuan Guards died in Taishan County, hence the delay in this message. I beg for Your Majesty''s forgiveness!"

    Upon hearing this,

    the terrifying aura around Pei Jing suddenly retracted, but his eyes remained cold.

    "Taishan County... Once I deal with the matters in Dan Yang County, they will have their time of suffering. Moreover, Luo Yu is dead; I thought he would impress my eyes given he was at Blood Refining Realm, but in the end, he couldn''t even stand firm.

    The person mentioned in the secret letter, Gu Qingfeng, seems quite capable and is still young. His potential for the future is also considerable.

    You will represent me and make a trip to Guangyang Prefecture and have him join my Divine Martial Army!"

    "What if Gu Qingfeng is unwilling?"

    "If he is unwilling... then find someone who is willing to take over the White Stone Dao!"

    With a simple sentence, Pei Jing seemed to have already decided the fate of the White Stone Dao.

    Regarding this,

    Sitian felt no surprise.

    After all, the man before him was the Divine Martial King, commanding a million-strong army and controlling several counties-a minor White Stone Dao was naturally within his grasping reach.

    At the same time.

    The power of the Fierce Sun Palm Force was also activated, accelerating the tempering of the bones under the guidance of the medicinal power.

    Bone Refining Realm!

    It involved the tempering of bones throughout the body!

    In Gu Qingfeng''s previous life, humans had 206 bones, but in this world, humans have 365

    bones, coinciding with the Circulation.

    To step into the Bone Refining Realm, one must temper all 365 bones in the body; only then

    can one truly break through.

    However,

    Tempering bones was not an easy task.

    For those who had reached Perfection in the Blood Refining Realm, tempering even one bone

    was difficult, let alone all 365 bones, making it even more challenging.

    Moreover,

    Bone tempering must be done cautiously.

    Any small mistake could lead to severe consequences.

    If it involved superior Martial Arts, it would record the real method of tempering bones and

    stepping into the Bone Refining Realm to avoid these problems.

    But without superior Martial Arts, relying solely on one''s exploration to break through, the

    risks are multiplied tenfold, a hundredfold.

    So-called Cultivation Techniques.

    They are actually the results of predecessors paying numerous heavy prices, gradually

    exploring step by step.

    Those who follow seek to explore the road ahead, either relying on the legacies of predecessors or emulating them to forge their own path through thorns, but the latter bears

    too much risk, and without dire necessity, nobody would undertake it.

    Now,

    Gu Qingfeng did not possess any superior Martial Arts.

    But the Fiery Sun Divine Palm he was cultivating involved the intricacies of Bone Refining

    when it reached Perfection, with the Fierce Sun Palm Force circulating through Circulation, its

    power covering all 365 bones.

    What Gu Qingfeng needed to do now was rely on the path of the Fierce Sun Palm Force to temper his own bones and quickly step into the Bone Refining Realm.
