Guan Ye stood up, stretched his muscles, and then walked directly towards Gu Yuan.
Gu Yuan watched Guan Ye's approaching figure, a flicker of anticipation in his eyes, wondering what Guan Ye would teach him first.
Guan Ye arrived in front of Gu Yuan, sat down cross-legged, and said to Gu Yuan, "Gu Yuan, sit down first."
Gu Yuan heard this and also sat down cross-legged.
He looked at Guan Ye with expectant eyes.
Guan Ye cleared his throat, then looked at Gu Yuan. Gu Yuan's serious expression entered his vision, causing him to nod involuntarily.
"Ahem, the first thing I will teach you is what you need most right now."
Guan Ye paused, then spoke again, "That is your current compressed blood qi."
"I will now impart to you the method I previously used to compress blood qi."
"The principle of this method is very simple. When controlling blood qi to compress, you can use the previously compressed blood qi to come into contact with the uncompressed blood qi, and this can assimilate the uncompressed blood qi."
"This method was created by a senior from the Demon Suppressing Division. When the Demon Suppressing Division first received this secret technique from the imperial family, everyone who knew about it was overjoyed. Although it was only applicable to martial artists in the Blood Qi realm, many martial artists beyond the Blood Qi realm secretly studied this secret technique."
"However, the results were not ideal. Many people failed at the first step, which is the compression of blood qi. Many did not grasp the method, and some obsessed martial artists kept compressing their blood qi, and in the end, their realm did not even improve. They were stuck on compressing blood qi their entire lives."
"The reason our human race is so powerful is because of one advantage: if there is a difficulty, we go and solve it. If the difficulty cannot be solved, we can optimize it, making it less difficult."
"It so happened that a human prodigy appeared at this time, bringing hope to the people of the Demon Suppressing Division. The name of this human prodigy is no longer recorded. He also chose to become a Patrol Demon Suppressor like you, and began to receive this secret technique for compressing blood qi."
"After several years of research, this prodigy successfully mastered the method of compressing blood qi, and then creatively proposed a more optimized method. The secret technique you are currently cultivating is also modified by him."
Gu Yuan was secretly shocked. It seemed that this prodigy was an extremely powerful individual, capable of modifying and popularizing a secret technique. After all, not every modified secret technique could be suitable for everyone. This secret technique had undergone years of experimentation by the Demon Suppressing Division, and countless people had used it. This was the most impressive aspect of this prodigy.
Whatever it is, if it is the most basic, it is always the most difficult, because these can allow countless people to learn, which is not something that can be easily achieved.
Guan Ye saw Gu Yuan's reaction and understood that he had grasped the prodigy's impressive capabilities.
"This prodigy eventually became a King-level Guard. For some unknown reason, only his deeds were left behind, not his personal file, and not even his name. This has been a legendary tale in the Demon Suppressing Division for centuries, and this question has never been answered."
"The method for improving blood qi compression that I am telling you is also created by this prodigy. This is what is meant by 'predecessors plant trees, and descendants enjoy the shade'," Guan Ye said with rare emotion.
Then he said sternly to Gu Yuan, "This secret technique, like the secret technique for compressing blood qi, cannot be passed on. Do you understand?"
Gu Yuan certainly understood. This was the foundation of the Demon Suppressing Division's control over the Great Qian. If Gu Yuan spread it, he would be an enemy of the Great Qian imperial family and the Demon Suppressing Division. He would not do such a foolish thing.
"Good, listen carefully." Guan Ye cleared his throat and began to impart the complementary secret technique to Gu Yuan.
Half an hour later, Gu Yuan opened his eyes, a flash of joy in them. He had just experimented and the efficiency had significantly improved, increasing the speed by nearly double.
This gave him confidence in completing the task of compressing blood qi within twenty days.
"It seems to have worked well, doesn't it?" Guan Ye saw Gu Yuan's joy, which was the same as his own at the time. For Demon Suppressors, anything that could accelerate their strength improvement was an excellent thing, making them genuinely happy.
Gu Yuan nodded in agreement when he heard Guan Ye's words. A method that could accelerate strength improvement was simply fantastic!
"Since you have mastered it, let's move on to the next topic."
Guan Ye was resolute and chose to begin the explanation of the second topic.
Gu Yuan nodded, indicating that he would listen carefully.
"Listen carefully to what I'm about to tell you, and remember it, understand?"
Guan Ye said to Gu Yuan with a serious expression, because what he was about to recount was both the history of demons and monsters, and a history of humanity's resistance.
Guan Ye's solemn expression also made Gu Yuan become serious, and he couldn't help but straighten his back slightly.
Thus, for the next few hours, Guan Ye narrated to him the history of the human race and the history of demons and monsters.
By the end, Gu Yuan summarized what Guan Ye had said.
In ancient times, there were no demons, monsters, or strange creatures in this world. At that time, there was only one type of creature that opposed the human race, and that was the legendary: Monster Beasts!
Monster Beasts generally referred to wild beasts that gained intelligence, absorbed spiritual energy from heaven and earth, converted it into demonic power within their bodies, and devoured the essence and blood of humans, allowing their internal demonic power to increase, enhancing their bloodline abilities. At a certain level, they could even transform into human form.
These were the enemies of the human race at that time. For centuries, humans and monster beasts fought each other, with each side occupying half of the world's territory.
However, traces of monster beasts were also found in some mountain ranges.
The human territory at that time was jointly controlled by ten great sects, dividing the world into ten parts. There were no dynasties, only glorious sects.
It was also during this time that martial arts saw the fastest progress, with new martial arts methods being researched every day. The blood qi martial arts methods passed down from ancient times were also continuously updated during this era, eventually being refined into eight realms.
They were: Body Tempering, Blood Change, Blood Qi, Blood Intent, Divine Treasury, Spirit Refining, Unity, and Heavenly Human!
These were the eight realms at that time, and the foundation for later realms.
The top combat power of the ten great sects at that time was the Heavenly Human realm. The strength of the monster beast race was the same as that of the human race, with no significant difference.
For centuries, the human race and the monster beast race were in constant conflict, maintaining a balance between the two races.
At some unknown point, traces of demons and monsters suddenly appeared on this continent. Both humans and monster beasts became food for these strange creatures.
Both humans and monster beasts began to hunt demons and monsters frantically, but then an accident occurred.
