My equipment is designed for cultivation; I started by slaughtering my way through a small world.

Gu Qing finished speaking.

The power of the mind spread out, and the platinum sword energy in the sky grew larger and larger, covering an ever-expanding area.

He expanded his sword domain to its limit and gently pressed down with his right hand.

hiss hiss hiss hiss...

The sword light flashed and shadowed, countless platinum sword energies flew in all directions, leaving sharp marks and faint traces in mid-air. The sword light was extremely fast.

In the blink of an eye,

It turned into a rain of swords, and Gu Qing continuously released his mental power, receiving the sunlight and merging it into his own true essence, transforming it into platinum sword energy to slay the enemy.

Thousands of martial artists, whether they were innate martial artists, grandmaster martial artists, or even those few half-step supreme grandmasters, were all killed with a single blow.

Blood flowed freely, pooling into a stream outside the city.

"This matter is settled."

The platinum sword energy that had been hovering above the capital gradually dissipated as the power of the mind was withdrawn.

Gu Qing turned and walked in the opposite direction from the capital.

"Sword Immortal!!"

Seeing Gu Qing leave, the white-haired old man couldn't help but call out.

With the decisive battle between the supreme grandmasters over, the next step is for the daimyo to launch a counterattack against the northern Yuan Empire and reclaim the lost territory.

If the Sword Immortal were to endorse this matter, it would surely be a crushing defeat, with few northern tribes to be affected.

"Thank you, Sword Immortal, for saving my life."

"Thank you, Sword Immortal, for saving the people."

A deafening roar, like a mountain collapsing and a tsunami crashing, echoed through the capital.

Countless ordinary people, as well as martial artists from various factions, knelt down in worship from the bottom of their hearts.

"Get up, everyone!"

Gu Qing turned around and waved his hand.

"Yes."

Without saying much, Gu Qing sighed slightly.

As a mercenary from the Immortal Kingdom, he was merely a fleeting visitor in this world.

Everyone watched Gu Qing's figure disappear onto the official road.

……

The Western Mountain Sword Sect.

The sect leader, Yue Lianfeng, the sword hall master, and several other hall masters all gathered in the Boundless Hall. They looked out of the mountain, their eyes filled with deep worry.

half year ago.

Gu Qing descended the mountain, directly displaying the demeanor of a sword immortal, forcefully trampling on the dignity of the Ming Dynasty's royal family, and becoming famous throughout the world.

They are already aware of this matter.

The Ming imperial family was simply outmatched; there's not much to say about that.

Just like when the Ming Dynasty's founding emperor confiscated all martial arts techniques from across the land, strength is the ultimate truth.

only……

A few days ago, the Grand Preceptor of the Yuan Dynasty, with his invincible power, besieged the capital of the Ming Dynasty, and Gu Qing was in the capital of the Ming Dynasty.

to this end.

On the West Mountain Sword Sect's side, the sect leader and others were worried about Gu Qing's safety.

"According to the sect's intelligence, the Grand Preceptor of the Great Yuan Dynasty has demonic blood in his body, and ordinary martial arts can also exert amazing power in his hands."

"Junior Brother Gu, he's just an ordinary person, won't he be in danger...?"

"Sword Hall Master Yue Lianfeng said in a deep voice."

As he spoke, his fists clenched tightly, a surge of anger building within him.

"Junior Brother Gu's talent and comprehension are unparalleled throughout history, no less than the founder of the sect..."

The sect leader had high hopes for Gu Qing, that he could defy the Grand Preceptor of the Great Yuan Dynasty and defeat the demonic cultivators. He didn't finish his sentence.

Just then.

In front of the Wuliang Hall, an inner disciple carrying a sword hurriedly rushed in.

"Sect Master, Sect Master."

"Uncle Gu is back!!"

"What?"

The sect leader and several hall masters exclaimed in unison in shock.

After a while.

The high-ranking members of the West Mountain Sword Sect, along with Elder Feng and others, arrived at the entrance of the West Mountain Sword Sect.

"Junior Brother Gu..."

The sect leader and the others spoke up, but Elder Feng, though silent, conveyed a thousand unspoken words through his complex gaze.

"Master, senior brother."

"I brought back the manuscript of the 'Reflecting Heaven Sword Manual' written by the founder himself. Please keep it safe."

Gu Qing took out the secret manual from the bundle.

At the same time, they also saw several other secret manuals: Nine Yang Supreme Technique, Bright Moon Strategy, and Great Formless Scripture...

hiss! ! !

Even Elder Feng's eyes widened in surprise.

After handing the manual over to the sect leader and others, Gu Qing went to Luoyan Peak of the Xiyue Sword Sect to cultivate in seclusion.

This is the highest peak of the Western Mountain Sword Sect, and few people come here.

Its advantage lies in its tranquility.

"Previously, when I fought with the Grand Preceptor of the Great Yuan Dynasty, the platinum sword energy annihilated his physical body, but left behind this blue crystal."

"This item is quite extraordinary. I wonder what kind of effects it would have if equipped..."

Gu Qing's mind stirred slightly.

The blue crystal in his hand disappeared and reappeared in his equipment inventory the next moment.

[Equipped Items: Artificial Monster Taiyin Crystal Armor, Monster's Magic Crystal]

[Rank: First-grade, Tier 1 Magic Crystal]

[Completeness: 87% of the bloodline remains]

[Equipment Effects: Gain access to bloodline martial arts secrets, the bloodline of the Taiyin Crystal Armor demonic beast, and magical energy from the magic crystal to strengthen blood and qi, fortify muscles and bones, and promote muscle development and repair. There is a chance to obtain demonic bloodline inheritance; this process will involve being corrupted by demonic will, with a 67% chance of losing mental control. The higher the willpower and mental state, the stronger the resistance and the higher the success rate of fusion.]

[Note: If the item has been equipped for more than six months, all its effects will be permanently acquired.]

……

next moment.

Countless pieces of knowledge about bloodline martial arts flooded into my mind.

The so-called bloodline martial arts are about using extraordinary bloodlines as a medium to leverage the power of heaven and earth to break through martial arts cultivation levels.

In this process, bloodline power replaces the role of spiritual power, becoming a bridge between martial artists and various supernatural forces.

In the bloodline inheritance of the Taiyin Crystal Armored Beast, moonlight is a kind of magical energy.

The Taiyin Crystal Armored Beast can condense magical energy using moonlight.

The Grand Preceptor of the Great Yuan Dynasty relied on the bloodline of the Taiyin Crystal Armor Demon Beast to leverage the energy of the moon and cultivate the "Bright Moon Strategy" to break through to the realm of the Supreme Grandmaster.

[You have equipped the Taiyin Crystal Armor Beast Crystal, increasing your HP by 5%, Muscle by 0.3, Bone by 0.2, and Mutation by 0.005. This process will last for six months.]

You have been corrupted by the will of a demon...

The power of the mind constructs an endless void world, when suddenly a demon about fifteen feet tall invades. It has long black horns, a head that resembles a leopard or a dog, limbs that resemble a giant gorilla, and sharp blue claws at its fingertips. Its body is covered in blue crystal armor.

The demon was surrounded by blue frost, its huge, thick right hand gesturing angrily at Gu Qing, its mouth seemingly roaring, and demonic murmurs echoing in his mind.

It was so cold, it felt like even the soul was being frozen!

An incomparably violent killing intent, sinister and cruel, accompanied by chilling sensations, directly assaulted Gu Qing's mind.

Fortunately, Gu Qing's state of mind is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

The Heart Sutra of Reflecting Heaven maintains a clear mind.

He activated the Nine Yang Supreme Technique at full power to resist and refine the lingering will of the demon.

Gu Qing fully activated the Nine Yang Supreme Skill on the right side of his body, directing the supreme yang energy formed by the Nine Yang Supreme Skill to directly attack the demonic energy within the boundless void mind realm, blocking that enormous and sinister killing intent.

……

Sunrise and sunset, half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

The lingering demonic resentment that roared within the boundless void of the mind was completely annihilated.

at the same time,

A cracking sound came from inside Gu Qing's body.

His body grew rapidly, reaching a height of about 1.8 meters. His body underwent a transformation, and his muscles were like marble sculptures.

Not only that,

A foreign language suddenly appeared in my mind.

Gu Qing instantly understood that this was the language of hell, a language passed down through bloodlines by hellish demons.

A thought flashed through my mind.

Activate the bloodline ability of the Taiyin Crystal Armor Beast.
