51: Chapter 43: His Intense Purpose, Clearly a Resolve to Kill and Conquer_3 51: Chapter 43: His Intense Purpose, Clearly a Resolve to Kill and Conquer_3 [Xuanming Spear, Fifth Level, Xuanming Spear Intent]

In the art of war, above the art lies the Gang Qi, then comes the intent, and above all, the Divine, all fulfilled by returning to the art.

Having refined the Xuanming Spear with Heavenly Marrow for two years, it was expected that four years of Heavenly Marrow could refine the Spear Intent.

However, Gu Wen, through the understanding of Sword Intent, found a way and succeeded.

Advancing further would be from Spear Intent to Divine, which would require eight years of Heavenly Marrow.

Heavenly Marrow flowed abundantly, with eight years of Heavenly Marrow turning into a stone mill, grinding open the narrow path of the Xuanming Spear.

The Xuanming Spear had no Fourth Level, let alone a Sixth Level Spear Divine.

Gu Wen carried the spear, walking step by step along the path defined by Heavenly Marrow, knowing that by following the Spear Intent of Heavenly Marrow, one could reach a level of spear mastery sufficient to ascend the Immortal Land’s rankings.

Yu Hua once said, “The rankings of men judge strength, with the victor crowned king.

The rankings of the land judge talent, with the most talented at the top.”

Beyond the heavens, where the stone tablets of Immortal Land were vast, an old man with white hair and squinted eyes was polishing the inscriptions.

Suddenly, a streak of golden light appeared, and a new name emerged.

[Immortal Land Rankings, number 81, Red Dust, Xuanming Spear Divine]

The old man’s polishing movements remained unchanged, while the Divine Thoughts cast from the surroundings flickered and vanished.

The name Red Dust was noted by some, but merely noted.

The Immortal Land Rankings, like the Human Rankings, forecast future achievements, whereas the latter represents present strength.

To be ranked among them all is to be a heavenly prodigy, still, the rank of eighty-one somewhat falls short.

One year of Heavenly Marrow.

Three years of Heavenly Marrow.

Five years of Heavenly Marrow.

Seven years of Heavenly Marrow.

Gu Wen stopped, the flow of Heavenly Marrow ceased, and one step ahead was a dark spear.

Its rhythm was bold and sweeping, filled with an unstoppable will.

The Xuanming Spear was originally created by a martial artist in the Qi Cultivation Stage, and though refined to the ultimate, it remained a Qi Cultivation technique, his aspirations no more than defeating the enemy before him.

A stride is six feet, mastery in a square inch.

For this step, why require Heavenly Marrow?

With a single step forward, Gu Wen reached out and grasped the dark spear, the Heavenly Marrow unspent, his spear technique divine.

“Why would I need this six-foot spear of a martial artist?”

A wild smile cracked his lips, his eyes brimming with disdain, as if he looked down upon all beings, considering them all inferior.

“My ambition should be to cleanse the entire world, leaving not a speck of dirt under the heavens!”

He released the dark spear and turned to walk in another direction, continuing through eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve years of Heavenly Marrow!

The dark red Gang Qi burned like a fierce fire, and a murderous aura surged skyward.

With one step, he trod the path of slaughter, with one punch, avenged blood spilled.

In a hazy realm, with every step countless broken spears lay about, and where his gaze fell, mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

Gu Wen looked up to see a crimson streak then across the sky, scales and splendor tumbling, clouds compressed, and massive pupils leisurely opened, ultimately fixing upon a red dragon.

The Spear Intent was like a dragon, the murderous aura as deep as an abyss.

The red dragon bowed its head, and Gu Wen caressed its Dragon Head, his eyelids drooping softly, an unprecedented tenderness in his smile, yet an endless murderous intent arose.

“Let’s call you the Flame Spear, with intent as fierce as the flame, as clear as the act of slaughter.”

Fierce, to annihilate all under the heavens, to erase all impurities.

Flame, upright and just, luminous as the day.

If I am benevolent, the world is not.

Beyond the heavens, the stone tablet of Immortal Land shook, the old man polishing the inscriptions slightly opened his eyes, only to see the word Red Dust trembling, strands of red light bursting forth.

With a triumphant song, he stepped forward, one step at a time, trampling down numerous talents from the Major Sects.

[Immortal Land Rankings, number 6, Lu Chan, Fox Fairy of illusion, where the illusion becomes reality, and reality becomes illusion.]

[Immortal Land Rankings, number 5, Red Dust, Spear of Slaughter, with fierce intent, clear as the act of killing.]

Three days ago, a prodigy without sect or lineage crashed into the top ten of the Human Rankings.

Three days later, he ascended to number five of the Immortal Land Rankings.

Numerous Divine Thoughts hurried back, shocked, then silent.

No one knew who the person with the dao name Red Dust was, regardless of how they calculated fortunes, they could not glimpse a thread of his destiny.

Yet, the name Red Dust had entered the eyes of all the great powers between heaven and earth.

This was the first real opening of the Immortal Land, and it would also be the last.

This era, where prodigies gathered, the Divine reincarnated, and saints entered the game.

Talent is merely the qualification to enter, invincibility just the preparation to take the stage, only the Immortals are the play’s actors.

And Gu Wen, a commoner and a house servant, half a year into his cultivation, what he sought was to take the stage and act.

To perform the first of the distinguished men, the summit of the earthly talents.
