230: Chapter 230 Subduing Ye Guhong

The next instant, Zhang Yang withdrew his hand and stood still.

In an instant, the Divine Sense that had solidified a vast expanse of heaven and earth vanished, and everything returned to tranquility, as if nothing had ever happened.

On the other side, Ye Guhong looked as if he had just been fished out of water, his entire body soaked.

Under the pressure of that overwhelming Divine Sense just now, even with his Martial Saint Realm body, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

Furthermore, at this moment, the spiritual yuan inside Ye Guhong's body was nearly exhausted, his Divine Sense was almost depleted, and his Sword Intent was barely a fraction of what it had been; it could be said that his state was at its absolute worst.

In this state, Zhang Yang could take his life with a casual strike.

Yet, Ye Guhong felt little fear in his heart. Instead, a smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, and his eyes burned with immense intensity!

Although he had been thoroughly defeated just now, from that single move, he had seen his own path forward—the direction for his progress in the Dao of the sword!

Just from this point alone, the gains were immense!

Taking a deep breath, Ye Guhong forcibly regained some spiritual power, sheathed his treasured sword, and bowed with cupped hands toward Zhang Yang: "Thank you, Martial Emperor, for showing mercy!"

Zhang Yang nodded slightly. Before he could speak, Ye Guhong opened his mouth again:

"The Martial Emperor's strength is truly heaven-defying! I am impressed! I am willing to lead the Purple Dragon Society to merge into the Wu Kingdom, and all resources of the Purple Dragon Society shall be at the Martial Emperor's disposal!"

Speaking of this, Ye Guhong raised his head and looked straight at Zhang Yang.

For him, the sword was everything; pursuing the Dao of the sword was his eternal pursuit.

And in Zhang Yang, he saw the path forward for the Dao of the sword.

For a chance to break through in the Dao of the sword, he would not hesitate to abandon even the Purple Dragon Society under his command.

After listening to what Ye Guhong said, Zhang Yang glanced at him and then nodded slightly: "Very well. You may return later and bring the resources of the Purple Dragon Society here."

"By the way, does your Purple Dragon Society have any information regarding the Fusion Realm Martial Saint? For example, Breakthrough methods or Cultivation Techniques?" Zhang Yang continued to ask.

Upon hearing this, Ye Guhong nodded slightly and said: "Yes, our Purple Dragon Society does indeed have a method for breaking through to the Fusion Realm Martial Saint, along with the corresponding sword techniques."

"With your level of attainment in the Dao of the sword, Martial Emperor, it should not be difficult to break through to the Fusion Realm Martial Saint using this!"

"Please wait here for a few days, and I will return immediately to retrieve it!"

Ye Guhong was extremely decisive. After finishing, he immediately turned around, prepared to return to the Purple Dragon Society to bring back the resources Zhang Yang needed.

"No rush, wait a moment." Zhang Yang called out to him.

Subsequently, Zhang Yang waved his hand, activating the Minor Devouring Technique. Many spiritual materials flew out from his Storage Ring, which he refined and converted into countless streams of pure Origin Qi. Under his control, this energy was infused into Ye Guhong's body, where it was rapidly absorbed!

Watching these countless streams of pure Origin Qi pour into his body and being instantly refined and absorbed, Ye Guhong couldn't help but be shocked.

Generally speaking, when they refined such Advanced medicinal materials, they had to be concocted into Medicinal Pills to better absorb the heaven and earth origin qi within them.

But now he saw that these Heaven And Earth Treasures were instantly reverted back to pure Origin Qi and easily refined by him!

Even the knowledgeable Ye Guhong couldn't help but feel a shock in his heart, unable to resist exclaiming inwardly: "What a terrifying method! To be able to easily convert spiritual materials into heaven and earth origin qi, and for it to be so pure!"

In just a moment, the spiritual yuan inside Ye Guhong's body was fully restored, and his overall strength recovered by more than half. Zhang Yang then stopped.

"The Martial Emperor truly has remarkable methods!" Ye Guhong exclaimed sincerely.

Zhang Yang smiled and shook his head. Afterward, the two chatted for a while longer, and Ye Guhong took his leave.

Watching Ye Guhong depart, Zhang Yang also turned and left, returning to the sky above Huanglong Valley.

He was not worried that Ye Guhong would deceive him or go back on his word.

From Ye Guhong's Sword Intent, Zhang Yang understood this person's character.

He was wholeheartedly devoted to the Dao of the sword; outside of the Dao of the sword, many things were simply not within the scope of his concern.

Now that he had seen the path forward for the Dao of the sword in Zhang Yang, it was only natural that he would throw himself under his command regardless of the cost.

Besides, even if Ye Guhong went back on his word, it would be meaningless. In terms of combat power, Zhang Yang was already approaching invincibility in this world, save for those three Fusion Realm Martial Saints he had yet to meet.

"Continue!" Zhang Yang closed his eyes, his body and mind merging into the world, and began to comprehend the Law.

Currently, his comprehension of the Law, while already quite powerful, had not yet reached the requirements for the Peak of the Dharma Image Realm, let alone the requirements for later breaking through to the Rongfa Martial Saint.

Ten days later, Zhang Yang opened his eyes above Huanglong Valley. "Finally, it is time!"

During these ten days, not only had his cultivation broken through to the Peak of the Dharma Image Martial Saint Realm, but he had also further Advanced his comprehension of the Law by a significant margin.

At this moment, he had reached the limit of the Dharma Image Martial Saint Realm; the spiritual yuan within his body was incredibly dense, and no matter how much pure Origin Qi he absorbed, it could not increase by even a sliver!

Zhang Yang slowly descended into the Huanglong Valley below.

During these ten days, Ye Guhong had returned from the Purple Dragon Society, bringing with him a large amount of resources, as well as the Breakthrough method for the Fusion Realm Martial Saint and the corresponding sword techniques.

During this period, True Man Songyue, who had returned to the imperial capital of the Wu Kingdom, had also fully converted the resources there into essence pills and sent them over along with the devouring cauldron.

Afterward, Ye Guhong converted all the resources brought from the Purple Dragon Society into essence pills using the four devouring cauldrons.

When they first saw Ye Guhong, everyone in Huanglong Valley, including the high-level officials of the Wu Kingdom, was astonished. After all, Ye Guhong's name was well-known throughout the Tianwu Continent; he was a famous madman of the Dao of the sword with terrifying strength.

And upon hearing him say that he had already joined under the Martial Emperor, everyone was even more astonished. After all, this was Ye Guhong; before this, no one had ever imagined that Ye Guhong would actually join someone else's command. But unexpectedly, he had now directly joined under His Majesty the Martial Emperor!

"Martial Emperor!" Seeing Zhang Yang descend, Ye Guhong hurriedly presented two Secret Manuals and said: "This is the method our Purple Dragon Society possesses for breaking through to the Fusion Realm Martial Saint, along with the corresponding sword techniques. Please take a look!"

After Zhang Yang took them, he swept them with his Divine Sense, imprinting the methods and the corresponding sword techniques within into his mind.

"Not bad, very good! These methods and sword techniques are of great help to me!" "This can be considered a great contribution! You shall be rewarded!"

The next instant, Zhang Yang flicked out a ray of spiritual light that drilled into the mind of Ye Guhong before him.

In an instant, Ye Guhong digested this ray of spiritual light, and at the same time, the corners of his mouth curled up wildly, his Sword Intent erupting!

There was no other reason; within this ray of spiritual light were the "Heaven, Earth, Man, God, Demon, Immortal" seven-style sword techniques that Zhang Yang had created years ago!!
