Chapter 126: Chapter 126: The Elevation of Life''s Level

    "Interesting!"

    Gu Qingfeng tried to cut across his own skin, squeezing out a bit of fresh blood, only to see the blood tinged with a faint golden color. At the same time, it also contained a powerful aura.

    The magnitude of such an aura was not just reflected in strength but was on the level of life essence, giving off a more noble feel.

    "Transformation of life essence level!"

    "Could it be that upon stepping into the stage of Perfect Organ Refining, a martial artist''s life essence level begins to transform?"

    Gu Qingfeng''s expression changed slightly, then he left the Grinding Blade Hall and entered the Demon Suppression Prison.

    The Demon Suppression Prison now.

    Three Evil Spirits were imprisoned there.

    Gu Qingfeng skillfully opened the Golden Coffin sealing the Shadow Demon, then he directly cut off a part of the Shadow Demon, attempting to obliterate its existence with his own qi and blood power.

    As soon as his qi and blood power collided with the remnant body of the Shadow Demon, it was like water hitting hot oil, instantly triggering an intense reaction.

    Indistinctly.

    Gu Qingfeng could even hear a wail of extreme misery emanating from the remnants of the Shadow Demon.

    But he paid it no heed and focused all his effort on utilizing his qi and blood power, continually eroding the Shadow Demon''s remnant body.

    After a long time.

    Gu Qingfeng had nearly exhausted all his qi and blood, but there was not a hint of disappointment on his face. Instead, there was an irrepressible smile.

    Simply because the segment representing the Shadow Demon''s remnant body, a broken finger, now had completely disappeared.

    "Indeed it''s possible!"

    Gu Qingfeng''s face was filled with great joy.

    "Perfect Organ Refining causes mutations in the heart, thereby upgrading the martial artist''s life essence level; the rumors of Evil Spirits being immortal shall also be thoroughly broken.

    My current life essence level, I fear, exceeds even that of so-called magicians. Although it still falls a bit short compared with the Evil Spirits, with the subsequent progression in realms, truly slaying an Evil Spirit will no longer be a problem!"

    Although he had to use all his qi and blood power to barely eradicate a segment of the Shadow Demon''s broken finger, which seemed a far cry from truly eliminating an Evil Spirit, there was still a long road ahead.

    But one thing is clear.

    Many difficulties lie at the beginning.

    In the past, Evil Spirits were difficult to eradicate, not even a small segment like a broken finger could be shaken.

    But that was then.

    Now, Gu Qingfeng was able to obliterate a segment of the Shadow Demon''s broken finger, and once his own realm upgrades, truly obliterating an Evil Spirit will undoubtedly not be a problem.

    This indicates, the rumors of the immortality of Evil Spirits can be broken.

    By comparison.

    Magicians are powerful, but they do not have the ability to truly eradicate Evil Spirits.

    Gu Qingfeng''s expression was somewhat somber.

    "The increased difficulty of cultivating the Prajnaparamita Sutra must be related to the Perfect Organ Refining. I am now only one step away from completely transforming my Five Internal Organs.

    Therefore, to truly take that step, time is needed to grind away slowly, only then is there a possibility of breakthrough—"

    With this thought.

    Gu Qingfeng''s original plan to first cultivate the Prajnaparamita Sutra to perfection in the Refining Organ five layers, and then use Upgrade Points to break through to the Grandmaster, fell through.

    Immediately.

    Gu Qingfeng used forty Upgrade Points to raise the Prajnaparamita Sutra directly from the Fifth Layer to the Seventh.

    Two realms broken through.

    In doing so, Gu Qingfeng perfectly refined two more organs, making his strength even more formidable, and his life force level was also incrementally and slowly rising.

    "With my current vital energy and strength, not to mention a single finger of the Shadow Demon, even if it were a whole hand, I could directly grind it to nothing. However, to truly claim that I could kill the Shadow Demon in one fell swoop, that''s still beyond me for the moment!"

    Gu Qingfeng felt the changes within himself, and by now, compared to the time when only his heart had mutated, he had grown much stronger.

    Nevertheless.

    It still wasn''t enough.

    In Gu Qingfeng''s view, such strength was still insufficient for him to truly slay the Evil Spirit.

    After all, in a life-and-death struggle, who has the time to gradually wear down the Evil Spirit, especially since the Evil Spirit is not an inanimate object and wouldn''t willingly allow itself to be eroded and erased.

    The Evil Spirit would flee.

    And resist.

    Therefore.

    What Gu Qingfeng needed to do was to truly elevate his life force level to the same level as the Evil Spirit; this would make slaying the Evil Spirit much easier.

    Nevertheless—

    Glancing at the remaining three Upgrade Points, Gu Qingfeng abandoned the idea of continuing to increase his power.

    Next.

    He would wait.

    Wait for the Gu Family''s offspring to make another breakthrough so he could use Upgrade Points to wholly refine the Five Internal Organs.

    At that time.

    Gu Qingfeng would be able to work on breaking into the Grandmaster Realm.

    "With my current strength, although I haven''t truly eradicated the Evil Spirit, if I were to face Shen Wudao again, I believe a single slash would suffice to slay him."

    Gu Qingfeng''s expression was confident.

    Now, although he had not broken through to the Grandmaster level, his strength was incomparable to the past.

    The only unknown was whether Gu Qingfeng was stronger or weaker than the Great Grandmasters spoken of in legends.
