Based on the power of the spirit of the secret realm alone, Gu Yifeng dared not underestimate its strength. The bloodline power and inheritance that he had painstakingly suppressed were easily activated.
"Don't be surprised. Within the same clan, I can easily activate the bloodline power of the younger generation. As for the Xuanwu inheritance, the Xuanwu lineage and the Dragon Clan bloodline share the same origin, so they can be considered close relatives. Not to mention that Xuanwu and my lord are acquainted."
Upon seeing this, the spirit of the secret realm immediately explained to Gu Yifeng that if he hadn't sensed no killing intent whatsoever, he would have immediately unleashed his power.
"Since you've said you're going to test me, you should at least tell me what exactly this test is about."
Gu Yifeng spoke thoughtfully, then asked with some doubt.
"Since you've asked, young friend, I won't hold back. I don't ask for much; I just want you to stay here for a full hundred years. Throughout history, no more than ten people have truly managed to do that."
After saying these words, the spirit of the secret realm turned and left, its figure dissipating. Gu Yifeng had no choice but to summon the One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones, and the two clones and the main body began to cultivate together.
Putting aside the bet with the spirit of the secret realm, his goal is to truly become a qualified cultivator, and the only thing that can help him achieve this goal is the Complete Library of Myriad Treasures.
Gu Yifeng immediately took out the jade slip, and the three figures stood together, simultaneously reading and understanding the contents of the jade slip, and finally memorizing them.
Although this method is foolish, it is currently the most effective one.
However, while the Complete Book of Myriad Knowledge may seem easy to find, it is extremely difficult to memorize the entire book. After all, the knowledge in the cultivation world is vast and numerous; a single cultivation method can be tens of thousands of pages long.
The martial arts techniques recorded therein far exceed eighteen.
...
Year after year, time lost all meaning for Gu Yifeng. Apart from making a note on the ground when he signed in each day, he spent the rest of his time studying the knowledge in the Wanku Quanshu (Complete Library of the Myriad Books).
Since transmigrating to this world, this is the first time I've felt any joy. For my previous life on Blue Star, battles were a distant part of history, only found in books, but on the Continent of Light, they are commonplace.
Similarly, for the continent of Qunguang, the ordinary and simple life is something only those born into mortal circumstances can truly understand. Most people are drawn in by the allure of cultivating immortality and achieving eternal life.
After calming down, Gu Yifeng felt a sense of weariness and exhaustion.
"Take Buddhism as your heart, cultivate the Way; take the Way as your bones, cultivate nature; take Confucianism as your skin, cultivate benevolence and virtue. Now it seems that perhaps I should draw the true meaning from it."
Just as he was feeling increasingly weary, Gu Yifeng suddenly realized that the three religions popular on Blue Star were also practiced and believed in on the Continent of Light. What he lacked was the essence of the unity of the three religions.
Thinking this through, his mind became clear, and he was completely unaware that the wisps of black mist emanating from his body were gradually dissipating. The weariness and despondency he felt earlier were the prelude to the birth of his inner demons.
Fortunately, Gu Yifeng's thoughts changed very quickly, and he managed to get rid of the influence of his inner demons and dispel them.
With this thought in mind, he had another idea: his main body could cultivate the Taoist Xuanmen sect, while his other two avatars could cultivate the Buddhist Tantra and the Confucian Righteous Qi sect.
After transferring the contents of the Complete Book of the Two Religions to two jade slips, Gu Yifeng handed them over to his two avatars to cultivate, while Gu Yifeng focused on studying the remaining contents.
Thirty years have passed in the blink of an eye. Time flies, and at this moment, Gu Yifeng's aura is completely different. He has been studying the profound methods of the Daoist sect and cultivating with a focused mind. His aura is as if he has washed away all the impurities. He appears calm as water, but there is an astonishing power hidden inside.
As for the two incarnations, one has a smiling face and makes a flower-holding gesture with his hand, a compassionate smile, like the reincarnation of Buddha; the other is righteous and elegant, like a refined scholar.
By this point, all three paths had been cultivated to a certain level, and the Complete Book of Myriad Treasures had been mastered to 60%.
Gu Yifeng put his thoughts aside for the time being and took out a furnace that was two people tall. This was a pill-refining furnace that the system had recently given him as a gift when he checked in. According to the appraisal information, it could withstand the explosion caused by the failure of pill refining, even when refining ninth-grade pills.
With a snap of his fingers, a ball of three-colored flames transformed into the shape of a mythical beast with a dragon's body and phoenix wings, and a deafening roar rang out, causing the surrounding temperature to soar in an instant.
This is the new strange fire born after absorbing the Myriad Dragon Flame and the Ice Phoenix Flame. It is named Dragon Phoenix Flame. After being used, its temperature can be changed at will, and it even gave birth to a fire spirit.
"Go."
Gu Yifeng gently patted the Dragon-Phoenix Strange Fire and chuckled. The fire spirit obediently rushed into the alchemy furnace, instantly igniting a furnace of flames.
Under his skillful manipulation, one medicinal herb after another was drawn into the furnace by the sword energy, instantly turning into ashes and transforming into a mass of medicinal essence. Ever since he saw the knowledge of alchemy in the Complete Book of Myriad Treasures, he had begun to learn the art of alchemy on his own.
From initially burning three furnaces a day to now being a fourth-grade alchemist, Gu Yifeng's progress has been rapid. After all, with a strange fire at his disposal and a top-grade alchemy furnace, the difficulty of refining pills has plummeted.
...
A century is enough time for the world to change, but Gu Yifeng's appearance has not changed. Only his black hair drags on the ground and his beard reaches his chest, making him look like a decrepit old man.
Over a full century, he completely absorbed the Complete Library of the Myriad Treasures, raised his alchemist rank to the fifth grade, and perfected all his skills and techniques.
If it weren't for the system's daily check-in replenishment, Gu Yifeng wouldn't have a single spirit stone or rare treasure on him right now.
When the time came, the spirit of the secret realm appeared in front of Gu Yifeng and pointed a finger, transforming his image back into his original youthful form.
"Congratulations, young friend, on surviving a century. With this foundation laid, no matter what your path of cultivation may be like in the future, you will surely reach the summit. It is time for me to fulfill my promise."
The spirit of the secret realm sighed, then took out a pure white feather from its bosom. The rich holy aura made the surroundings brighten. Before Gu Yifeng could react, the feather landed on his head and transformed into a white flame that enveloped him.
Under the burning of the holy flames, Gu Yifeng felt his soul being cleansed, and even the shackles that prevented him from breaking through due to consuming the Void God Pill began to loosen.
A supreme treasure instantly appeared in his mind, named the Holy Breath Dragon Feather. It is a pure feather that accompanies the back of the head of a dragon from birth. It possesses heaven-defying power and can be transformed into holy fire to change the fate of the dragon race. Moreover, it must be a gifted holy body that is one in a hundred.
Because of this extraordinary blessing, the dragon race once suffered a great calamity, being fought over and slaughtered by all races. Even with the ancestral dragon in charge, they inevitably fell into a state of isolation and helplessness.
This shows how precious the dragon feather is.
