As a cultivator at the Peak of Golden Core, Gu Cuo was stationed as a general at the Northern Town Pass. He had subtly revealed Yi Dong's desire to join the military, and soon that bold general arranged for Gu to enter the military camp. Following Gu's request, he was treated as an ordinary Loose Cultivator.
The Old Drunkard despised war; merely traveling that way had already made him impatient. Therefore, Gu did not try to persuade him to stay. Instead, he asked the Old Drunkard to take Yang Yan and Xiao Gu Yang away from the Northern Town Pass to search for homeless wanderers and take in orphans like Xiao Gu Yang.
Yang Yan felt that regardless of Gu You's plans, it was now time to prepare. Gu was relieved to share the method of forging a Spirit Bridge with Yang Yan, as he had no intention of keeping it secret. He wanted to cultivate some reliable individuals in secret and train some cultivators to prevent himself from being left without allies when the Daoist Sect sought to unify Tiandong.
Every month spent guarding the military camp alongside a group of veterans allowed Gu to relax slightly. Those top-tier soldiers at the Qi Refinement ninth level might just be lucky enough to successfully establish their foundations and perhaps even become centurions.
However, it was undeniable that among those days, his best relationship was with a camp leader who was a martial arts High Leg. Although cultivators often looked down on martial arts practitioners, that camp leader, Sun Chiyu, truly embodied the essence of a High Leg.
During those days, Gu frequently used his fine wine to discuss martial arts with Sun Chiyu. To ordinary people, whether it was the Heavenly Dao or the Great Dao, it could empower the powerless mortals against celestial beings, thus pulling down those lofty Celestials.
Sun Chiyu inherited his family's martial Dao Heart and came from a very orthodox martial arts lineage, allowing Gu to systematically understand the origins and realms of martial arts.
Why didn’t those soldiers learn martial arts?
This was already the third time Gu had posed that question to Sun Chiyu. The first time Sun Chiyu pondered briefly but did not answer; the second time he shook his head helplessly. By the third time, before Sun Chiyu could respond, Gu had already begun to understand and answered himself.
It was about innate talent.
Aside from helping the army fend off Nine Nether Cultivators, Gu never had a day of idleness. He diligently researched the Great Dao in search of breakthroughs and occasionally sought out a path that everyone could follow.
Yet no matter whether it was martial arts or the Heavenly Dao, innate talent seemed like an insurmountable hurdle for many. For most people, crossing that first barrier from weakness to strength meant they might never have another chance and could remain ordinary for their entire lives.
Sun Chiyu raised his glass, and Minghong simply smiled. Unless there existed a secret technique or Cultivation Method that could open a door for anyone in martial arts, the idea of universal soldiers was not worth considering.
Although it somewhat felt like he was belittling their efforts, Sun Chiyu did not deny it. He hoped that Gu Na would not think too much about it. It was rare to find cultivators who did not look down on those martial practitioners. Sun Chiyu did not want to lose a good friend who enjoyed drinking just because of a few short days; after all, their camaraderie was evident on the battlefield.
During those days, the Nine Nether Cultivators were also troubled by the sudden appearance of an unknown Golden Core High Leg, who clearly possessed a genius-level talent.
After suffering significant losses in several encounters with Gu Zhe, the Nine Nether Cultivators no longer dared to let Nascent Soul Cultivators engage Gu Zhe alone. Every time they went into battle, upon seeing Gu Zhe appear, at least three Nascent Soul Cultivators would surround him. At that time, Gu Chulei had to be cautious; unlike others who might reveal their true identities, he refrained from using some highly representative Spells.
As Sun Chiyu set down his glass, he suddenly noticed that Gu was staring blankly at him, as if lost in thought, murmuring to himself as if questioning something.
What if there were a Cultivation Method that could open a Daoist Sect for everyone on their cultivation journey? How would that be?
Sun Chiyu chuckled and shook his head. How could such a Cultivation Method exist? Perhaps only ancient teachings like Dong Lai's health-preserving fist would be suitable for everyone to practice.
Gu did not respond. Sun Chiyu felt that Gu did not seem to be speaking nonsense; rather, he appeared to be contemplating something, and an uneasy feeling began to rise within him.
A week later, Gu arrived with a young boy on a tranquil afternoon at the Refusal of the Northern Marquis' residence to seek an audience. He presented himself in a typical business-like manner before the Refusal of the Northern Marquis.
"Please serve tea to Daoist Gu," came the order.
The Refusal of the Northern Marquis could command great armies as a mere mortal and guard the Northern Town Pass—a strategic location that many would dismiss as insignificant. However, it served as a crucial stronghold; if one were to say he was merely an official, many would likely scoff and smile knowingly.
Gu displayed combat skills comparable to those of an ordinary Golden Core Cultivator. It was not uncommon for him to take on five opponents at once. Each time he fought, he could turn peril into safety for the soldiers at Northern Town Pass. It could be said that without his performance, Northern Pass would have long been breached by the Nine Nether Alliance countless times already.
Si Dongli not only denied the Ninth Underworld's scrutiny of his identity, but also the Refusal of the Northern Marquis had been investigated countless times. All previous clues subtly pointed to the Cheng Dao Sect, a colossal entity that overshadowed the Seven Kingdoms, making it difficult for the Refusal of the Northern Marquis to retreat. Yet, there was still confusion regarding Gu Xin, which made it hard for the Refusal of the Northern Marquis to let down their guard.
No matter. The sudden visit from Mingyue was intended to discuss a business deal with the general—one that would bring nothing but benefits without any drawbacks.
Business? The Refusal of the Northern Marquis let out a soft gasp before responding calmly, "Please, go ahead."
He had obtained a Martial Arts Manual early on, one that could enable anyone without Foundation Establishment Realm to cultivate, even ordinary soldiers. What kind of price do you think such a manual would be worth, General?
