Inside the power cabin, Gu Yifeng's two avatars were now tragically reduced to laborers, becoming ruthless conversion machines, needing to convert the Refining God Pills made by his main body into spiritual energy to power the Wuji Immortal Ship.
"Young Master, in that case, should we still stay at the Weak Water?"
Xuanche immediately asked.
"No, let's go straight to Kunlun Mountain. Let's go see this legendary sacred mountain."
Gu Yifeng slowly opened his mouth, then went to the deck, looked around, and breathed in the fresh air. Suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind, and he immediately began to draw in the air with his hands.
"Swiftness Talisman, command!"
Gu Yifeng gave a low shout, then slapped the rune onto the deck. A green light instantly enveloped the entire Wuji Immortal Ship, and its previously slow speed surged again.
"Phew, thankfully there's this trick in the Myriad Sects Talismans. It's a pity the Swiftness Talisman only works for half a day."
Gu Yifeng spoke with a hint of helplessness, then sat down cross-legged and began to ponder the matter of the Dragon Soul.
According to the Complete Book of the Universe, the Dragon Soul is the most special kind of divine soul because dragons are born with the talent to master elements, and they can increase the elemental power they master through cultivation of this talent.
In other words, the attributes contained within a dragon soul can also be increased through cultivation.
Therefore, Gu Yifeng pondered whether he could use the Dragon Soul as the main body to break through his realm, so that he would no longer be limited by the shackles of his realm.
...
A month later, Gu Yifeng finally arrived at the foot of Kunlun Mountain in his Wuji Immortal Boat. From afar, a towering mountain could be seen, surrounded by wisps of colorful mist.
A unique fragrance can be smelled from hundreds of miles away, accompanied by melodious music, the cries of phoenixes and the roars of dragons—a scene straight out of a fairyland, truly deserving of the name of this sacred mountain.
Upon arriving at the foot of Kunlun Mountain, Gu Yifeng put away the Wuji Immortal Boat and, together with Xuan Che, went to the mountain entrance.
At the entrance to the mountain, a pair of bronze statues stood guard. Upon sensing the presence of the two people, they instantly came to life, slowly opened their eyes, and looked at the two people with solemn expressions.
"Who is visiting this mountain? Quickly state your name!"
A majestic voice rang out, and two bronze sculptures drew their bronze swords, crossed them, and blocked the two men.
"Gu Yifeng, the young master of the Xuanwu Clan, and Xuan Che, a disciple of the Xuanwu Clan, have come today to pay homage to the mountain and to comprehend the aura of the immortal mountain!"
Gu Yifeng spoke first, and Xuan Che quickly followed suit. The two clasped their hands in a fist salute and then handed over two tokens.
The bronze statue took the token, examined it carefully, and then, after a seven-colored aura swept over it, handed it back to the two people.
"Identity confirmed. You may enter the mountainside, but you must not climb to the top or harm any living creatures in the mountain."
The bronze statue added another sentence, then released the giant sword and let the two inside.
The moment Gu Yifeng stepped into the mountains, a restless feeling stirred within him, and several streams of energy pulsed within his body, as if he were thoroughly enjoying the atmosphere of the Kunlun Mountains.
"The Mountain Refining Technique... but if I refine the earth energy of Kunlun Mountain, I'm afraid I'll kick the bucket too."
Gu Yifeng spoke with a hint of helplessness, and walked forward with Xuan Che. Suppressing the desire in his heart, he began to contemplate the wonders of this mountain. The surrounding area was filled with immortal energy, and it was indeed a rare and wonderful place.
After about half an hour, the two arrived at the mountainside. There was only a deep pool at the mountainside, nothing special. Xuan Che rarely came out, so he didn't know anything about it.
"It is the Divine Pool. The Geography Records of the Nine Provinces state that if you drip your essence into the Divine Pool, you can illuminate yourself and summon your own personal deity to answer your questions. However, it is just a rumor, and I don't know if it is true or not."
Gu Yifeng accurately stated the origin of the pool, but he didn't get too excited looking at the slightly chilly, bottomless water.
Upon hearing this, Xuan Che became interested. His eyes lit up, and he went to the side, instantly sending out a drop of his essence blood into the pool.
In an instant, the pool water boiled and churned. In the blink of an eye, wisps of immortal energy drifted out, and then a phantom slowly emerged from the pool water, opening its mouth as if to say something, but Gu Yifeng could not hear it clearly.
Xuan Che, on the other hand, listened intently. Clearly, it had been said that it was exclusive to the deity, and only the one who summoned it could hear it.
After about an incense stick's time, the illusory image slowly dissipated. Xuan Che then revealed a look of sudden realization, sat down cross-legged on the spot, and directly entered a state of enlightenment.
"This is incredible."
Gu Yifeng couldn't help but speak up. For now, he could only put aside the idea of summoning the gods and protect Xuan Che.
A full day later, Xuan Che finally woke up from his cultivation. His strength was now more restrained, and more importantly, the aura within him, belonging to the Xuanwu, was much stronger.
"Looks like the harvest is good, then I'll have to rely on you for protection."
Gu Yifeng chuckled and came to the edge of the pool, dripping a drop of his essence blood. The pool did not react immediately; instead, a thin layer of cold air dissipated without any movement.
"System, system, get out there and get to work!"
Faced with the unexpected, Gu Yifeng did not hesitate to activate the system. After all, the Encyclopedia of Myriad Knowledge is not omnipotent, and there are not many records about this Divine Spirit Pool.
"Can't you let the system sleep all day? There's nothing wrong with it, it's just that you have too many messages, and like the system itself, it crashed!"
The system roared in fury, then hurled another insult at Gu Yifeng before truly crashing, completely ignoring his voice.
Just as he sighed in despair, the Divine Pool finally changed, instantly erupting into a violent boil, several times louder than Xuan Che's.
In an instant, thick fog enveloped the entire mountainside, and a phantom slowly emerged. Upon closer inspection, the figure constantly changed, sometimes transforming into a human form, and sometimes into a blue lotus.
"It is the Azure Lotus Ancient Emperor."
Looking at the figure, Gu Yifeng quickly made a connection to a great emperor who was rarely recorded in the Wanku Quanshu. His life story was listed in detail. It was said that he was just one step away from creating a completely new system to replace the Heavenly Dao, and its name was the Heavenly Court!
When he first saw it, he almost jumped up. Could this Heavenly Court be related to the Heavenly Court in the myths and legends of Earth? Why did the system teleport him to this world?
Everything seems to be connected, but unfortunately, the Complete Book of the Universe does not provide a detailed introduction to the Heavenly Court.
“My name is Qing. I know your confusion. Although Kunlun is a sacred mountain, the mountain's energy is vast and unpredictable, and refining it is indeed beneficial. However, the so-called Mountain Refining Technique is that refining the earth's energy is the worst strategy, refining the mountain's bones is the middle strategy, and refining the mountain's soul is the best strategy.”
"The Dragon Soul is the supreme master of the elements, a natural elemental controller. First, one reaches the Condensation Realm, and then one becomes the Five Elements Soul. There is no conflict between them."
"When the seed of the Dao blossoms and bears fruit, that is the day you comprehend the Great Dao."
"The Heavenly Court... has not been destroyed."
Before Gu Yifeng could even speak, the Azure Lotus Ancient Emperor had already given out a number of answers.
