A bright beam of moonlight shone down from above the pool, creating a picturesque scene.
Gu Yifeng pondered for a moment, then activated his Eye of Concealment. He scooped up a handful of water from the pool and examined it. The information he received was that it was just ordinary pool water, so he felt relieved and threw the water out. Then, he instantly exerted force with his feet and easily took off.
In the blink of an eye, he arrived at the entrance above the living pool, which turned out to be a forest. The living pool was the only water source in the forest.
However, for Gu Yifeng, getting ashore was the most important thing. He scanned his surroundings with his divine sense and, after confirming that no one was secretly observing him, slowly sat down cross-legged, activated the system, and began his daily check-in.
"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have successfully checked in. The check-in location was detected as: White Tiger Cave (the Land of Divine Descent). You have received the reward: White Tiger Mystic Gold Pearl."
A system voice sounded, and then a palm-sized, golden bead fell into his hand.
"White Tiger Mystic Gold Pearl: A Heaven-Rank Treasure, it has a chance of being created by absorbing metal-type treasures through the inner core of a White Tiger. It contains rich metallic energy and a powerful killing aura."
"Note: This treasure can be used to nurture one's natal weapon, cultivate killing intent, and nurture evil spirits. It can also be refined and absorbed to merge with one's soul and condense a metal-attribute soul."
Seeing the information transmitted by the Eye of Concealment, Gu Yifeng was overjoyed. After all, it was not easy to find a safe place to cultivate now. He immediately placed the White Tiger Profound Gold Pearl in his hand, and the Dragon Phoenix Flame surged out, instantly enveloping it, and began to refine it.
Strands of metallic energy surged into his dantian along his arm. Fortunately, his body had already undergone several enhancements, so he only felt a slight stinging sensation emanating from his meridians.
Following the metallic aura came a chilling killing intent. The terrifying killing intent roared towards Gu Yifeng's sea of consciousness without the slightest pause, transforming into a tiger that lunged straight at his face.
Unfortunately, his dragon soul manifested in his sea of consciousness, and a blue aura instantly spread out. The dragon's might was unleashed, directly dispersing the killing intent and forcibly forming it into a bead.
Under Gu Yifeng's guidance, the rich metallic aura within his body surged into his sea of consciousness, eventually condensing with the killing intent bead. After about an incense stick's time, it transformed into a soul bead, lying quietly in his sea of consciousness.
With a thought, the Jia-Yi Wood Dragon Pearl in his dantian appeared, and he began to cultivate by activating the power of the Dragon Pearl. At the same time, a wisp of dragon-phoenix flame began to slowly refine the Dragon Pearl.
Gu Yifeng is using a two-pronged approach. On one hand, he directly refines the Dragon Pearl, which can be directly introduced into his sea of consciousness and transformed into a wood-attribute soul pearl. However, if he cultivates it with his own power, the power of the wood-attribute soul pearl will be even stronger, and he will be able to use it more easily.
An hour later, a dragon's roar resounded. Almost simultaneously, the Jia Yi Wood Dragon Pearls dissipated, and all the wood-attribute powers were completely absorbed by Gu Yifeng, eventually condensing into a Soul Pearl in his sea of consciousness.
The two methods worked simultaneously. With the blessing of the dragon soul, there was no stagnation in cultivating with the help of the dragon pearl. He easily condensed a wood-type divine soul, which finally merged with the power of the Jia Yi wood dragon pearl to become a soul pearl.
With all four Soul Beads gathered, Gu Yifeng directly manipulated the Dragon Soul to devour them. The Dragon Phoenix Flame also spontaneously surged into the Dragon Soul, helping it refine the Soul Beads.
The four elemental forces of wood, earth, water, and metal constantly squeezed and collided, finally maintaining a stable closed loop under the power of the Dragon Phoenix Flame, and completely merging with the Dragon Soul.
As the Dragon Soul gathered all four elements, Gu Yifeng had a thought, and the power of the four elements appeared behind him, shooting out and instantly creating a deep crater in front of him.
Now he can easily unleash the power of the four attributes, and when he launches a soul attack on an enemy, he can also add the special power of the four attributes to cause additional damage.
After completing his cultivation, Gu Yifeng slowly stood up. His Tiger Fiend Spirit Body was activated on its own, and the White Tiger Fiend Spirit condensed and ran in one direction. He had no choice but to follow behind the Fiend Spirit.
About half an hour later, the White Tiger Demon Spirit stopped and transformed into a stream of light, disappearing into Gu Yifeng's body. What he saw in front of him was a sword mound, with thousands of sword hilts stuck in the ground, and an astonishing killing intent lurking within.
At the very center of the sword mound, a seemingly simple longsword possesses a unique aura, as if it were the king of this sword mound, ruling over everything.
More importantly, the murderous aura lurking all around seemed to be paying homage to this sword.
Gu Yifeng couldn't help but extend his finger and lightly touch the front. The next moment, thousands of killing energies within the Sword Tomb erupted simultaneously, eventually condensing into a human shape.
The man was dressed in a white brocade robe, with long, slender eyebrows and eyes. His long white hair was loose and slightly curled, and a three-flower pattern was engraved between his eyebrows. Just by standing there, he exuded a cool and aloof aura.
"Those with the Tiger-wielding Fiend Spirit Body can undergo the Nine Trials of the God of Slaughter. The trials are perilous and may result in death. If you have thought it through, then step into the Sword Tomb and undergo my trials."
The figure spoke slowly, its expression indifferent, its tone stiff; it was clearly the phantom left behind by the White Tiger Sacred Beast.
"I'd like to see just how difficult it is to refine the God of Slaughter through the Ninefold Refinement."
Gu Yifeng muttered to himself, then strode into the Sword Tomb complex. The next moment, the surrounding scenery changed drastically, as if he had fallen into an illusion.
All around was a battlefield, with endless flames of war everywhere you looked. The battlefield was littered with corpses, including demons, humans, and other races. Everything showed the cruelty of war.
"The first trial begins. If you perish here, you will be able to enter the cycle of reincarnation."
A cold voice rang out, followed by deafening battle cries. Countless cultivators rushed out from behind him and clashed with the demon army in front of him, and a fierce battle ensued.
"Men, kill these cultivators, and the entire Qunguang Continent will be ours in the future."
The leading demon general opened his mouth wide, but before he could finish speaking, an arrow blew his head off, turning him into a rain of blood. Then, even more intense shouts of killing erupted.
Gu Yifeng was only confused for a moment when a layer of red light suddenly flashed across the ground and affected him. Then he summoned two clones, who also joined the battle in the army.
His target was only the demons in front of him.
He wielded the Longquan sword wildly, each swing easily taking down ten demon heads and sweeping away a swarm of demons.
The crimson blood that emanated from him only fueled his excitement, plunging him into a frenzied killing spree, gradually turning him into a complete killing machine.
"kill!"
Gu Yifeng uttered a soft shout and continuously brandished his sword, instantly killing the demons.
The slaughter lasted for three whole hours. Under his frenzied harvesting, these demons who were not even at the Taixu Realm were like cabbages in front of him, easily killed.
Fortunately, the Longquan sword is also a treasure. After absorbing blood, it can repair its worn blade on its own without affecting the user in the slightest.
