C231 Standing in the Heart Is Stronger than the Body
Within the City Lord's Mansion, Gu Feng was playing with Fenng Zhidie with a rare calmness. In these two days, his realm had already stabilized at the Eighth Level of Refined Body Stage and his spirit energy was still constantly increasing.
To him, this sudden surge of power did not have any side effects. His body had experienced two times the tempering of Yin-Yang Power, and his basics were tens of times better than that of ordinary Martial Cultivator s. There would never be a situation where the spiritual energy became unstable after the strength of an ordinary Martial Cultivator increased explosively.
On the contrary, his spiritual energy was powerful and oppressive. Even Fenng Wuji was shocked by this phenomenon.
After what happened a few days ago, Gu Feng's identity had already been revealed in the Yan City. No one had expected that the youth who was rumored to have long died would once again appear in front of them, not to mention in such a shocking manner. Everyone knew very well that with a deity like Fenng Wuji protecting Gu Feng from behind, their future achievements would definitely be limitless.
Some of the powers also started to throw their olive branches at Gu Feng. They naturally tried their best to rope in the younger generation that Fenng Wuji thought highly of.
"City Governor, I have always wanted to invite Young Master Gu Feng to come over." A guard walked in and said respectfully. They were well aware of the position Gu Feng held in Fenng Wuji's heart, so they had already changed their way of addressing him.
Fenng Wuji nodded and then said to Gu Feng, "Wu Lao must have something important to talk to you about. Go quickly."
"Yes." Wu Tie nodded, and followed the guard out with his City Lord's Mansion. Towards Wu Xiu, his heart was filled with gratitude. If it wasn't for the opportunity Wu Xiu gave him a few days ago, his current strength would still be at the 6th layer of the Body Refinement Realm. Moreover, Elder Wu even passed down such a powerful martial art to him in the end.
The guard brought Gu Feng directly to a restaurant. The restaurant's layout was simple, but it was very quiet. There were only a few tables full of guests.
Among them, Wu Xiu sat quietly at the table in the middle. There was a pot of wine on the table, and a faint aroma wafted over.
"Senior Wu Xiu." Gu Feng called out respectfully.
Wu Xiu nodded slightly and said to Wu Tie, "Come over and sit."
Gu Feng nodded slightly and sat down opposite of Wu Xiu. He asked Wu Xiu, "I don't know if Senior is suitable to invite me here."
"I came to talk to you." Wu Xiu said softly, "Say goodbye to you by the way?"
"Say goodbye?" Gu Feng frowned and said: "Senior wants to leave!?"
"Mn, yes, I have protected the sacred grounds of the Yinyang Sect for so many years, and it has always been my heart that keeps making decisions. However, ever since I saw you leave the holy land that day, it can be said that I've had a wish." Wu Xiu smiled faintly. It was a smile of ease and a hint of inexplicable meaning.
Gu Feng fell silent. Indeed, Wu Xiu was really persistent. He was actually able to protect the Yin Yang Sect for who knows how long. This kind of perseverance was something no one could compete with.
"Senior …" Gu Feng didn't know what to say.
"I've come to find you this time to tell you something." The sadness on Wu Xiu's face suddenly disappeared, and then he stared intently into Gu Feng's eyes, and slowly said: "Stellar Fate determines a person's talent, but it is not omnipotent, so don't limit it to just Stellar Fate, otherwise, you will be tired out by it. "Remember to break and establish. The strong are stronger than the heart, and stand within your body."
Gu Feng's heart suddenly shook. He had naturally heard these words before: "If broken, then established. The strong are stronger than the heart. Let's leave it to the body." He had seen it more than once in the martial arts manuals of Blue Martial Palace, but he just did not understand what these words meant.
He stared at Wu Xiu's aged face and asked seriously, "Senior, can you tell me what the meaning of these two words is?"
"No, no. You need to find out for yourself what this means. But you must remember, the Stellar Fate only proves that your innate talent is strong and weak, it does not truly allow you to become a Ranker. "
Gu Feng nodded, he naturally knew that. Just because one's talent was strong didn't mean one would definitely become a powerful warrior. Especially in this mess of Firmament Continent, many of them did not have very strong innate talent, but in the end, they became tyrannical experts of their own.
However, he still didn't quite understand the saying 'the strong is stronger than the heart'. When he looked up, Wu Xiu had already been gone for a while.
Lifting his glass, Gu Feng finished the wine in it and then put it down. He sat alone in the restaurant and silently pondered the meaning behind those words.
After what seemed like a long time, Gu Feng finally stood up and walked out of the restaurant.
The sky had already turned dark, and there was basically no one on the street. Because of what happened a few days ago, at night, the citizens of Yan City were still a little worried. The Yan City at night was extremely quiet.
After exiting the restaurant, Gu Feng was in no hurry to leave. He stopped after just a few steps and said lightly, "It's been so long, it's about time to come out."
In the quiet of the space, a cool breeze blew, bringing with it a sense of coolness. In this quiet space, there was a trace of killing intent, enough to send chills down one's spine.
A figure slowly emerged from a nearby building, wrapped in a black robe. The only difference was that this figure's eyes were filled with shock. He was very confident in his concealing skills. Obviously, he didn't expect Gu Feng's Spiritual Sense to be this sensitive to actually discover him.
"Who is it?"2
Gu Feng glanced at that person coldly as he asked, his voice filled with a hint of coldness. It was a dark night, filled with killing intent and solemnity. Gu Feng had long since noticed this man in black. Ever since he came out of the City Lord's Mansion, this person had been following him around. Therefore, Gu Feng was sure that this person was after him, and was even here to kill him.
"All of you, come out. Since you're here, why must you hide?" The moment his voice fell, in the dark, many figures emerged and jumped onto the rooftop. All of them looked at Gu Feng coldly. This group of people's eyes were very sharp, and none of them were mediocre!
Their bodies suddenly flashed, and the group of people's bodies went back and forth in the air. After a short moment, their bodies arrived around Gu Feng and surrounded him.
"You still haven't told me who you are." Gu Feng asked again.
"Dead people don't need to know." The leader, man in black, said with a cold and hoarse voice. A thick killing intent filled the air.
Gu Feng laughed blandly: "Even if you didn't say it, I would have guessed it. Such a good concealing technique, I'm afraid only Dark Pavilion and those rats would be able to do it."
Gu Feng looked at man in black, who was in the lead, and saw that his pupils had suddenly constricted. He could not help but reveal a cold smile at the corner of his mouth.
