The holy flames burned on Gu Yifeng's body for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn before slowly dissipating, bringing about tremendous changes, starting with his appearance.
He was already good-looking, but now, after being refined by the sacred fire, his skin is snow-white, his nose is high and straight, and his eyes have turned into a blue-green color. He exudes a noble aura in every gesture.
These are all inherent characteristics of the dragon race, which have become even more pronounced under the dual transformation of the sacred fire and the Azure Dragon bloodline.
Secondly, there's Gu Yifeng's inherent talent. He originally possessed two sacred bodies, plus a constitution that blends ice and fire, which was already top-tier. Now, the sacred fire has merged with the Azure Dragon bloodline, giving him an exceptional talent—the Azure Dragon Sacred Body.
The Azure Dragon Nine Restrictions that were once on him now belong entirely to him. Apart from the difference in cultivation level and the techniques and skills he has mastered, he is now the only Azure Dragon on the Continent of Radiant Light.
Gu Yifeng can convert the spiritual energy within his body into Dragon Essence, which only dragons can cultivate, whenever he wishes.
Finally, there is the Dragon Soul. In his sea of consciousness, besides the three elemental soul beads of earth, wood, and water, there is also a Dragon Soul. He can now rely on the Dragon Soul to instantly break through the shackles of the Void God Pill and advance his realm to the early stage of the Tai Xu Realm, which is equivalent to his cultivation level.
The benefits of the Dragon Soul go beyond these. With the Dragon Soul, when Gu Yifeng unleashes his Dragon Might, he can fully unleash its power and intimidate cultivators of the same realm.
"Thank you, senior!"
Sensing the changes within his body, Gu Yifeng immediately bowed to the spirit of the secret realm and said excitedly.
"It's alright, it's alright. I also have my own selfish reasons for giving you this gift. I hope you will promise me to find an ancient path of my dragon clan and tell my lord about the current situation of the dragons on the continent."
The spirit of the secret realm made no attempt to conceal anything and told Gu Yifeng directly.
"Ancient path? What kind of ancient path could lead to the Ancestral Dragon?"
Gu Yifeng was puzzled upon hearing this and didn't react for a moment, as the Complete Book of Myriad Treasures did not seem to mention anything related to it.
"The Ancient Path to Immortality is the last escape route left by the rulers of each race since the beginning of time. If one's cultivation is insufficient to reach the pinnacle of the continent and summon the Immortal Gate, one can travel along this path to seek immortal destiny."
The spirit of the secret realm slowly spoke, explaining to Gu Yifeng.
Upon hearing this, he immediately realized that although the Complete Book of Myriad Treasures did not record the contents of this Ancient Path to Immortality, it did mention another path on the Continent of Radiant Light, which was to go to the starry sky and seek the immortal destiny of the entire universe.
"Senior, do you really believe I can climb the ancient path?"
Gu Yifeng asked in confusion.
"That's not the case. I'd rather believe that you can summon the Immortal Gate with your own power, personally enter the Immortal Gate on the continent, and attain immortality and ascend to heaven."
"However, on the ancient road today, besides the marks left by our lord and the others, there is also information about their legacy, and even news about the Heavenly Dao. I believe you will investigate."
The spirit of the secret realm glanced at Gu Yifeng meaningfully, seemingly recognizing something, and slowly spoke.
Gu Yifeng seemed to understand, but he stopped worrying about it.
“Since that’s the case, I agree. I will definitely go to the Dragon Clan’s Ancient Path to Immortality, find the Ancestral Dragon, and tell him about the current situation of the Dragon Clan.”
Gu Yifeng clasped his hands in a fist and then agreed.
"Very well, I will await your good news, young friend. Until we meet again."
The spirit of the secret realm chuckled, then waved its sleeve, and a teleportation vortex appeared. Gu Yifeng bowed again, then disappeared into the vortex, leaving the secret realm.
Gu Yifeng had gained a lot from this trip to the Dragon Clan's Secret Realm. With a flash of light, he returned to the sky above the Dragon Gate River, where Xuan Che and the West River Dragon King were waiting on the left bank.
He simply calculated the time and knew that only one day had passed outside, but a hundred years had passed inside the secret realm. Thinking back on it carefully, the spirit of the secret realm also found it quite difficult to endure.
"Young Master, congratulations on your progress in cultivation."
Xuan Che immediately noticed the change in Gu Yifeng's aura and congratulated him.
"Hmm, does Senior Dragon King have something important to discuss right now? If not, let's find a quiet place to talk?"
Gu Yifeng nodded slowly, then asked the West River Dragon King.
Upon hearing this, the Dragon King would not refuse and immediately led the two back to the Dragon Palace, where they activated a protective barrier in the Dragon King's bedroom.
"Since that's the case, I'll get straight to the point. Does Senior Dragon King know where the Dragon Clan's Ancient Path to Immortality is?"
Gu Yifeng asked directly.
"Seeking the Ancient Path to Immortality? Haha, it seems you've gained quite a bit from this trip to the secret realm, as you know all this. Hehe, this matter does involve the secrets of my Dragon Clan, and I am currently just a leisurely Dragon King."
"I only know that the Ancient Path to Immortality is located within the Kunlun Mountains, but I have no idea exactly where it is. Perhaps you will need to make a trip to the East Sea to inquire with the Dragon Palace of the East Sea. The Dragon King of the East Sea is my elder brother, and he holds great power over the dragon race."
Upon hearing this, the Dragon King of the West River also spoke with a serious expression, and after pondering for a moment, gave an answer.
Upon hearing this, Gu Yifeng immediately conjured up a map in his mind. Kunlun Mountain was located in the far west. Further west, after passing Kunlun Mountain and crossing thousands of miles of sea of clouds, lay Baihu Cave.
In other words, this trip was convenient, but he still needed to find out the exact location of the Ancient Path to Immortality. However, after thinking about it for a moment, he abandoned this method.
The reason is simple: Gu Yifeng's cultivation level is still at the Condensation Realm. If he were to directly ascend the Ancient Path of Seeking Immortality and head towards the starry sky, that would be courting death.
"In that case, thank you very much, senior. I still need to go to the White Tiger Cave for some trials, so I won't stay any longer."
Gu Yifeng pondered for a moment, then clasped his hands in a fist salute to the Dragon King of the West River. With Xuan Che present, the Dragon King could not say anything more. The two immediately left the Dragon Palace, went ashore, took out the Wuji Immortal Boat, and then transformed into a streak of light and disappeared in an instant.
Looking at the few spirit stones left in his pocket, Gu Yifeng sighed with some distress, then took out a Nourishing Spirit Pill from his spatial ring and ate it like a candy.
After a hundred years in the Time Realm, the spirit stones left from the final sign-in were barely enough for the Boundless Immortal Ship to fly to Yongzhou in the Western Regions, or at most to Kunlun Mountain.
"What is the young master sighing about?"
Upon hearing Gu Yifeng sigh, Xuan Che immediately asked.
"Me? I'm poor!"
Gu Yifeng suddenly let out a ghostly howl, pretending to shake the spatial ring twice to reveal the scene inside. The few spirit stones left inside truly startled Xuan Che.
"Young Master, did you exhaust all your resources in the secret realm?"
Xuan Che said with a hint of helplessness, and then received a nod of approval from Gu Yifeng.
"We need to slow down a bit now because we're running out of spirit stones."
Gu Yifeng could only announce this unfortunate matter to Xuan Che, and then took out twenty bottles of Refining God Pills from his ring and sent them to the power compartment.
