Under Gu Yifeng's arrangement, the three kingdoms of the lower realm subsequently launched a massive search operation.
From commoners to royalty, everyone had to search for ancient books and search their homes to the best of their ability, using every clue to prove that there were no extra secret rooms or similar structures.
Anyone who discovers it will be rewarded with 100 taels of silver and one Body Tempering Pill.
For ordinary people who have no opportunity to cultivate themselves, this is undoubtedly the closest they have ever come to embarking on the path of cultivation.
Immediately, everyone in the three major countries mobilized, searching every possible place inside and outside the city, and the results were remarkable.
In just ten days, over a hundred secret chambers were unearthed, and many unspeakable secrets of the three great kingdoms were gradually exposed. Among them, only a dozen or so secret chambers were connected to the upper realm.
These secret chambers were naturally destroyed by Gu Yifeng with talismans, and a reverse destruction restriction was set up so that once the teleportation power was sensed, the teleportation array would be interrupted halfway through.
Those who are transported will be injured at best, and die at worst.
As for the other secret chambers, they only needed to be simply filled in, and then the samurai would flatten the ground to complete the task.
After completing the core task, Gu Yifeng led a group of people back to the capital of Daqian, gave some instructions, and even prepared a will just in case, leaving it to Fang Xuan before entering the Taihe Hall.
Under the watchful eyes of civil and military officials, he entered the Hall of Supreme Harmony. The hall doors were closed, and no one was left inside. Qin Shan, Prince Cheng, and Chi Liancheng were all left outside the hall.
Gu Yifeng had only one explanation for this: he was going into seclusion because his cultivation had reached a bottleneck and he needed to break through to the Concentration Realm so that he could focus on his work.
As the palace doors closed, everyone could only sigh helplessly and then leave the Hall of Supreme Harmony. Prince Cheng undoubtedly took over the throne and is currently acting as regent.
If Gu Yifeng still hasn't emerged from seclusion decades later, Prince Cheng can rightfully ascend the throne and take over the imperial power of the Great Qian Dynasty. This is what was written in his will.
What they didn't know was that Gu Yifeng's so-called seclusion was not really about cultivating peacefully in the Taihe Hall, but rather about using a travel permit to go to the Upper Realm.
He didn't tell anyone about this. After all, the upper realm was dangerous, and he didn't want to bring anyone with him. As long as he had the system, he could explore on his own.
...
According to historical records, in the first year of the Qian Yuan era, Gu Yifeng ascended the throne and became emperor. He single-handedly quelled the chaos of the Three Kingdoms and unified the world. However, due to his cultivation reaching the peak of the era, he went into seclusion to find a way to break through and his younger brother, Prince Cheng, acted as regent.
On the night Gu Yifeng announced his seclusion, golden light erupted in the capital city of Da Gan, causing the entire world to tremble. A huge golden light, like a cage, enveloped the entire world.
According to people from various border areas of the three countries, they believe they are already standing at the edge of the world, yet they still cannot see the end of the cage.
The golden light lasted for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn before dissipating. Almost simultaneously, in the senses of cultivators such as Chi Liancheng, Cheng Wang Gu Cheng, Fang Xuan, and Qin Shan, Gu Yifeng's aura disappeared.
Little did they know that he was already strolling among the clouds, guided by the trail marker, passing through layers of mist, and then arriving at a teleportation vortex at the limit of 9,999 feet in the sky.
With a flash of light, Gu Yifeng was sent into the vortex. A slight dizziness came over him, and when he opened his eyes again, he was in a deep mountain.
To be precise, he was currently in a mountain stream, and in front of him was a narrow, dark cave from which the light was transmitted.
Clearly, this is the only passage to the lower realm. Behind Gu Yifeng is a peach blossom forest with a flowing stream beside it, resembling a paradise on earth.
Everything was identical to the ancient texts about the peach blossom forest recorded on Earth in my past life:
"Following the stream, I forgot how far I had gone. After several hundred paces along both banks, I suddenly came upon a peach grove. At the end of the grove, there was the source of the stream, and there was a mountain with a small opening..."
Gu Yifeng muttered to himself, these descriptions all overlapped, and for a moment, he was somewhat lost in thought.
Regardless, his desire to return to Blue Star remained unchanged. Such a coincidence was hard not to make him overthink, but the surging spiritual energy within him told him that this was indeed not Blue Star.
If it were Gu Yifeng from Blue Star, he would definitely not possess any spiritual power; he would just be an ordinary citizen on the planet.
Just as he was deep in thought, a series of whooshing sounds suddenly rang out from all around him, and ten people immediately surrounded him. All ten of them were at the late stage of the Opening Mansion Realm.
"You've trespassed into the forbidden area of the Three Pure Ones Alliance! Surrender immediately, or your life will be spared!"
The leader spoke first, and all ten men simultaneously drew their longswords, locking onto Gu Yifeng.
"System, system, shouldn't we get some compensation for this situation?!"
Despite being surrounded by ten people, Gu Yifeng remained calm and composed, his mind already calling out to the system, but to no avail.
"Damn it!"
Gu Yifeng cursed angrily, and the spiritual power in his dantian circulated rapidly. His four major acupoints were activated, and his body swelled up, instantly transforming into a gluttonous beast. With a flick of his tail, he sent ten people flying, and with a charge, he devoured the power of three of them.
Before the ten people could react, he stepped on the Kun beast, activated the Free and Easy Movement Technique at full power, and disappeared from the spot like a streak of light.
Without a map, Gu Yifeng could only blindly flee in one direction. After the ten figures disappeared, he immediately canceled his transformation, his spiritual energy completely depleted, and fell into the dense forest.
In order to avoid being discovered, he naturally activated his Eye of Concealment to hide his aura, and casually dug a cave in the mountain in front of him to hide inside.
"System, I've checked in!"
Gu Yifeng started cursing. He hadn't checked in today, and since the system wouldn't listen to his instructions, he had no choice but to check in.
"Ding! It has been detected that the host has completed the previous stage of the main quest. The first stage main quest reward package has been settled and sent to your backpack. Please check it in time."
"Ding! Host's check-in location detected as: Sanqing Mountain. Reward: Secret Technique: One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones."
Two system notifications sounded, which improved Gu Yifeng's mood considerably; at least the system still had some conscience.
However, before he could be happy for long, a powerful aura swept past overhead, seemingly searching for something. After an incense stick's time, once he was sure the aura had gone far away, he slowly peeked out.
Only then did I notice that there were many pieces of paper fluttering around this mountain and in the dense forest beside it. I picked one up at random and found that it was a kill order.
"A reward will be given to anyone who provides information leading to the capture of the ferocious beast Taotie."
