The sound of a sword echoed from within Gu Yifeng's Sword Immortal Body. His resolute sword bones were now revealed, and a shimmering white light flashed along his spine, transforming into a phantom of a long sword that shot straight into the sky.
Its sword-like structure stands firm, capable of withstanding the might of heaven.
The sound of the phoenix's cry came from the Ice Phoenix Flame in the dantian. A purple phoenix flew out of the dantian, its body swelled up, and it transformed into a strange phoenix that automatically protected its master.
At the same time, the surrounding temperature dropped instantly, and fine snowflake patterns spread across the originally gleaming sword bone, which was the manifestation of the previous icy spirit body, which was adding to the sword bone.
After a stalemate lasting about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Gu Yifeng finally felt he had adapted to the pressure of the 10,000th level. He struggled to stand up straight, his chest heaving as he breathed heavily.
This pressure had not yet exceeded the Taixu Realm; even with the power of the Azure Dragon Holy Robe, it was only enough to support him to barely stand on the first step.
Becoming a disciple of an ancient sage is not easy.
Although standing is difficult, the benefits of this step far outweigh those of the previous one. The spiritual energy that was abundant in his body was now compressed to a mere ten percent after being consumed.
This is the most refined spiritual power for cultivators in the Taixu Realm; even a single drop has the weight of a thousand jin. Not to mention, it is even more so for those in the Ning Shen Realm.
Then came the physical body. The terrifying pressure generated karmic fire within Gu Yifeng's body during the previous collision, continuously refining his blood, bones, flesh, and meridians, causing his physical body's realm to surge once again.
The hidden dangers of constantly taking medication while climbing the mountain also disappeared at this time, leaving only a weak body that urgently needed to replenish itself to return to its peak condition.
In fact, if it weren't for the influence of the Void God Pill, Gu Yifeng's cultivation would have broken through instantly, allowing him to break through the bottleneck of the Void Realm in one fell swoop.
He cultivated on this level for a whole day until his physical body could no longer feel the pressure from the aura. Only then did he get up, exit this level, and leave via the path.
Although the power of the Azure Dragon Holy Armor dissipated, an hour had allowed Gu Yifeng's physical body to fully adapt to the pressure of the 10,000th level. After continuous tempering, he actually managed to withstand it.
Stepping onto the unobstructed path, one feels as if the wind is blowing underfoot. Without using any movement techniques, one's body can transform into a gentle breeze and quickly ascend the mountain.
It only took half a day for Gu Yifeng to climb the remaining 89,000 stone steps and reach the top of the mountain. There were only a few scattered figures who each found a place to sit cross-legged and cultivate, comprehending the Dao.
He pondered for a moment, then activated his Eye of Concealment, revealing the cultivation levels of the others. They were mostly cultivators at the Tai Xu Realm, with the lowest being at least half a step Tai Xu. Only he, at the Ning Shen Realm, had managed to break through.
Indeed, if it weren't for possessing the Devouring Heaven Record and the Myriad Sects Talisman, it's likely that one wouldn't have been able to reach this mountaintop.
Fortunately, these people were all engrossed in cultivation and did not notice Gu Yifeng's figure. He immediately found behind a huge boulder, put two fingers together, condensed spiritual power at his fingertips, and began to draw on the edge of the boulder.
Ten breaths later, a hundred talismans were inscribed, forming a complete barrier. Only then did he feel at ease entering it, sitting cross-legged, activating the system, and starting his daily check-in.
"Ding! Congratulations on successfully checking in. The check-in location for this time is: Taihang Mountain. You have received the Taihang Mountain Soul as a reward."
The system voice sounded, and then an invisible soul entered his sea of consciousness, transforming into a soul bead.
"This is……"
Gu Yifeng was somewhat puzzled and directly asked the system a question.
"Taihang Mountain Soul: A consciousness that embodies the essence of Taihang Mountain. It can be empowered once to strengthen the physical body. After empowerment, it returns to Taihang Mountain."
The system responded with a cold voice, then fell silent.
After a moment's thought, Gu Yifeng chose to receive the initiation without hesitation.
The next moment, he felt a mountain-like pressure coming down on his head. The immense pressure felt like he was back on the stone steps of a mountain climb. However, compared to the pure pressure, there were also traces of chaotic energy flowing from above his head.
Under the influence of chaotic energy, the dantian began to slowly expand.
From the outside, a phantom image of the Taihang Mountains could be seen above Gu Yifeng's head. On the phantom image, streams of chaotic energy flowed slowly like waterfalls, cascading down and entering his body.
This was just the beginning. As time went on, the pressure intensified, and the majestic aura of the Taihang Mountains was imprinted on my mind and body.
Unbeknownst to Gu Yifeng, a phantom image of the Taihang Mountains slowly appeared in his dantian.
This is the true meaning of the initiation: expanding the dantian, passing on the imprint, and strengthening the physical body.
It took a full six hours for Gu Yifeng to wake up from his cultivation. He slowly stood up and threw a punch, the immense force instantly creating a series of explosive sounds in the air.
This demonstrates the tremendous improvement that this initiation brought to the physical body.
Moreover, with each punch, one could vaguely see the phantom of a large mountain within the force of the punch, pressing forward.
"Is this the power of the Taihang Mountain Soul's empowerment...?"
Gu Yifeng couldn't help but sigh. He looked inward at his dantian and discovered that there was a phantom image of the Taihang Mountains inside his body. After sensing it, he felt that he could mobilize it.
However, the phantom currently lacks power, possessing only some superficial suppressive force. As for other aspects, it is merely average. To refine the phantom, one needs to observe the mountain.
View the true form of the Taihang Mountains, appreciate the terrain and power of the Taihang Mountains.
Only in this way can we deepen the power of the illusory image of Taihang Mountain, perceive, experience, understand, and finally apply it.
After a brief moment of reflection, Gu Yifeng slowly stood up. He had cultivated enough for the day. He never supported arduous cultivation. He simply summoned the One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones technique, and the three figures walked out of the barrier at the same time, each finding a spot on the mountaintop to observe.
He didn't plan to leave the mountaintop for the rest of the time. He had already started fasting and, with the help of the system's daily check-ins, he could cultivate on the mountaintop for a month.
...
Within the Three Pure Ones Alliance.
It has been almost two months since Gu Yifeng detonated the sword prison and escaped from the Xuandao Mansion in Youzhou.
Zhuge Guan sat at the head of the council hall, with a group of elders from the Three Pure Ones Alliance below him, as well as Elder Kong, who had just recovered from serious injuries.
"Elder, are we really going to just abandon that kid?"
Elder Kong was the first to speak and ask.
“I gave him a year. He will come back after a year.”
Zhuge Guan spoke calmly.
"Within a year, in the lower realm, probably not even a year, new talents will emerge, and the branches of various forces in the lower realm will probably become restless."
Elder Kong said with a hint of helplessness upon hearing this.
"It's alright. As long as the lower realm remains peaceful and the dragon veins still exist, there's still a chance. It's just that we don't know when a true spirit of rules will appear."
Zhuge Guan spoke slowly, and upon hearing this, the other elders all showed expressions of agreement.
