The kill order contained two images. One was indeed of the ferocious beast Taotie, but the other was clearly of Gu Yifeng himself.
Who would have thought that he would encounter such a blunder so soon after stepping out of the lower realm? Not only was he placed on a kill order, but he was also mistaken for the ferocious beast Taotie.
Fortunately, he is a pure human, which is an indisputable fact. Therefore, it is hard to say whether this kill order is a blessing or a curse for Gu Yifeng.
"Never mind, let's check the sign-in rewards first."
Gu Yifeng sighed deeply, inwardly rolling his eyes, and focused his mind on the system to browse the rewards.
First, there's the reward pack for completing the main quest, which includes a map, a booklet, a mask, and a jade bottle.
This map is quite advanced, inscribed on a parchment scroll. With just a drop of spiritual blood, one can see their location. Furthermore, according to the information provided by the Eye of Concealment, it can also be used to set up a formation for finding objects or people at the center of the array.
In short, the usefulness of this map goes far beyond simply finding a location.
As for the booklet, it is actually a jade slip containing information about the Upper Realm, which can help Gu Yifeng understand the Upper Realm to the greatest extent possible.
Finally, there's the mask, which is also a high-level magical artifact. As long as you input spiritual power and stick it on your face, you can change your aura and appearance.
However, this mask has a limitation: once used, it cannot be removed or changed again for at least a month. In other words, it can be used continuously, but its appearance can only be changed once a month.
Although troublesome, it's a good way for Gu Yifeng, who is now being mistaken for a glutton, to evade pursuit.
Finally, there is a jade bottle containing a Spirit Refining Pill. After consuming it, one can obtain spiritual power and refine their soul. It is a pill for cultivators in the Condensation Realm to improve their cultivation level.
Setting the rest aside, Gu Yifeng first opened the map, then a wisp of spiritual consciousness surged into the jade slip, and a massive amount of information immediately flooded his mind.
"The Continent of Radiant Light is located on a blue planet in the cosmos. The continents stand side by side, with four poles supporting the heavens and the earth, dividing into nine provinces to nourish all things. Since the separation of chaos, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth has nourished all things."
"When the first living beings were nourished by spiritual energy, the spiritual energy entered their bodies and they gained intelligence, cultivated supernatural powers, and embarked on the path of cultivation, evolving into nine extreme realms, namely perception, gathering of spirit, stabilizing the origin, opening the mansion, concentrating the spirit, the Great Void, merging with the Dao, transforming the calamity, and refining the spirit."
"After that, all races coexisted on the continent, and all living beings could cultivate. In the beginning of the ancient times, hundreds of people cultivated to the Refining God Realm, opened the gate to the Immortal Realm, and ascended to immortality. They established a sect on the continent called the Heavenly Court, leaving behind countless legacies."
"Since the Primordial Era, the origin of the Heavenly Dao has been exhausted, the Heavenly Court has sealed it off, and the path of inheritance has been severed. Among the human race, geniuses have emerged one after another, opening up the ancient era and establishing seventy-two prefectures on the continent to provide cultivation resources for the disciples of the Xuanmen, all in order to break through the restrictions of the Heavenly Dao and attain the Dao and ascend to immortality."
"After that, the mainland was divided into nine provinces and four regions, with seventy-two prefectures. Each province had eight prefectures. Anyone who wanted to enter a city to cultivate and obtain cultivation resources, or who wanted to establish a sect, had to enter a prefecture and pass the examination before they could obtain a disciple position."
Looking at these contents, Gu Yifeng frowned, gaining a general understanding of the existence of this continent. According to the contents of this jade slip, the so-called lower realm was merely one of the seventy-two prefectures, which was being privately kept by someone.
After that, most of the content was about the history of the Continent of Light, which he skipped and then started looking at the various rankings and tables.
First, of course, is the list of the seventy-two prefectures of the Nine Provinces. The Three Pure Alliance mentioned by the person who stopped him earlier is a force within the Xuandao Prefecture of Youzhou, and it is also one of the top forces within the Xuandao Prefecture.
However, upon closer examination, the Three Pure Alliance is actually an alliance formed by three forces, and its size is naturally incomparable to that of ordinary forces.
At the end of the jade slip was a ranking list of forces. The Three Pure Alliance ranked among the top three in the Xuandao Palace and among the top twenty in Youzhou. However, in the entire Qunguang Continent, it could only barely rank among the top one hundred.
In conclusion, the Three Pure Alliance is a formidable force; at least for Gu Yifeng at present, it is a top-tier power that he cannot confront head-on.
After briefly reviewing this information, he turned his attention to the map. Besides Kyushu, there was another special place, namely the Four Extremes.
These four poles are named after the four symbols: Azure Dragon Island in the east, Vermilion Bird Mountain in the south, White Tiger Cave in the west, and Black Tortoise Heaven in the north. According to the jade slip, each of these four poles corresponds to an extreme place.
Qinglong Island is located on a small island where you can hardly breathe any other air. Apart from flowers, plants and trees, there is absolutely nothing else on the island.
Mount Suzaku, on the other hand, is an active volcano that erupts every three days. The surrounding area is filled with extreme heat, and the dense fire-attribute energy can instantly vaporize the physical body of a cultivator at the Opening Mansion Realm.
Further on, the White Tiger Cave is located deep underground, surrounded by mineral deposits. However, it exudes a strong, sharp killing intent, and a slight mistake could turn one into ashes.
Unlike the White Tiger Cave, Xuanwu Heaven is located on the northern plateau, which is thousands of feet high. The air above is bitterly cold and thin, and it is only accessible to those at the Condensation Realm or above.
Each of the four extreme regions is inhabited by a clan of guardians. Even if one's cultivation level is high enough, one cannot enter the four extreme regions without gaining their approval.
However, Gu Yifeng didn't think so. The reason was simple: he needed to obtain the Five Elements Divine Soul to break through to the Condensation Realm.
The four cardinal directions correspond to the four elements he lacks: wood, fire, water, and metal. By signing in at these four cardinal directions and obtaining the four elemental treasures, he can cultivate the corresponding divine soul.
When the five elemental souls are combined, they become the strongest Five Elements Soul. With this soul, one is the strongest being within the Condensation Realm.
Having formed an idea, Gu Yifeng sat down cross-legged and focused his mind, as information about a secret technique slowly surfaced in his mind.
Since we've decided to go to the Four Extremes, we naturally need to improve our strength. The secret technique of transforming Qi into the Three Pure Ones is the best trump card. After cultivating it, our combat power will increase significantly.
Gu Yifeng calmed his mind and then felt a mysterious aura emerge in his heart.
"One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones, a method of creating avatars outside the body. After cultivation, one can use a single breath of innate Qi to create three avatars: Jade Pure One, Upper Pure One, and Supreme Pure One. These avatars will not dissipate when spiritual energy is exhausted."
"These three incarnations will only disappear when faced with a life-threatening crisis. Similarly, the pain of death will be sent back to the original body after they disappear."
Gu Yifeng was somewhat stunned as he looked at the opening information.
