Gu Yifeng calmed his mind, raised his palm and created a light screen. Then he raised his right index finger and traced the light screen, recording all the techniques and spells he had mastered.
It took him the time it takes for an incense stick to burn just to organize everything. After comparing his work with the light screen, he pondered for a long time and finally decided to first cultivate the first technique he had ever acquired—the Devouring Heaven Record.
As the internal energy cultivation technique slowly circulated, a terrifying suction force suddenly erupted from Gu Yifeng's body, continuously devouring the surrounding spiritual energy and surging into his fourth acupoint.
After cultivating for about an hour, the fourth acupoint was completely filled, but the spiritual energy was still insufficient to break through to the fifth acupoint.
Compared to cultivation techniques, the Devouring Heaven Record is more like a trump card, since after cultivating it, one can transform into a gluttonous beast at any time and gain powerful devouring abilities.
To truly become a gluttonous beast, one must possess the ambition to devour the heavens and earth.
Having found his direction, Gu Yifeng began to visualize the form of the Taotie in his mind, spending three hours each day visualizing it and three hours practicing his fists and feet, simply mobilizing the power of the Devouring Heaven Record to throw punches in this space.
He spent a full thirty days, exactly one month, cultivating the Devouring Heaven Record alone, until the fourth acupoint was completely full, without making any further progress, and his understanding of Taotie also reached its limit.
After completing these steps, Gu Yifeng began cultivating the second technique, the Xuanming Technique. Since there were no high mountains here, the Refining Mountain Technique was more suitable to be cultivated last.
As his mind sank into cultivation, waves of dark blue light suddenly emanated from his body, like surging waves. The Xuanming Technique did not have a specific realm, only mentioning the understanding of water and ice.
The highest level of the Xuanming Technique is to thoroughly understand the two characters "Xuanming" and grasp the changes and essence of water and ice.
As one contemplates the essential transformations of water and ice, the surrounding dark blue light begins to slowly change, from calm to surging, like ocean waves, and a profound pressure spreads out.
This is the initial stage of the Xuanming Technique: its spiritual power is like the sea, its waves are like raging fury, it is as still as an abyss, and as dynamic as an angry dragon.
After cultivating for another three days, the dark blue light changed again, transforming into gentle waves that lapped against the ground, revealing its yin and yang power. This was the Xuanming Technique.
...
Gu Yifeng's time then became completely monotonous. Every day he practiced his techniques and moves. Apart from squeezing out a little time to sign in each day, he devoted all his time to cultivation.
This continued for a year, and he had practiced all the techniques and moves in his body, inside and out. In his opinion, although he had not reached the pinnacle, he was at least more adept at using these moves.
By the time the year was over, Gu Yifeng's hair had grown to his waist and his face was covered in stubble, making him look like a homeless man. The changes in time here were almost identical to those outside.
However, his lifespan remained unchanged, which is the most peculiar thing about the Time Realm.
"Ding! Congratulations on successfully checking in. It has been detected that the host has checked in at the same location for a full year. You have received an extra reward: the Complete Book of Myriad Treasures. This check-in reward is: Myriad Dragon Flames."
As the system notification sounded, a jade slip appeared in front of Gu Yifeng, and a sealed fire seed quietly appeared in his dantian.
"The Complete Book of Myriad Treasures: A top-tier manual that records all the rare and precious materials, cultivation techniques, and blessed lands that can be recorded on the Continent of Radiant Light. It is an encyclopedia for cultivators."
"Ten Thousand Dragon Flame: A top-tier exotic fire, born from the bloodline of the dragon race. It is an exotic fire formed by absorbing the essence of tens of thousands of dragons. It has the characteristic of being indestructible, burning everything, and is imbued with the characteristics of dragon breath and dragon might. It is azure blue in color."
Looking at the two messages, Gu Yifeng's heart remained calm. After a year of cultivation, his mental state had reached a certain level, allowing him to simply remain unmoved by external gains or losses.
There aren't many items left that can surprise Gu Yifeng. It's not that he doesn't find it amazing, but the system is truly incredible. Not only are the rewards he receives always top-notch, but now, the rewards he receives are getting better and better depending on his location.
With the system's support, his horizons have broadened considerably without him even realizing it. Sometimes, he would even complain to the system if the rewards he received were too small.
After putting the jade slip away, Gu Yifeng suddenly sensed an incredibly terrifying aura.
"who?!"
Gu Yifeng roared and then unleashed the One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones technique, instantly enveloping the surroundings in a dark blue ocean. This was the Xuanming Technique in action.
With the Xuanming Technique, one can weaken the opponent's attack and delay their advance in the first instance.
After a long pause, he slowly turned his gaze to the sky, where a pair of vertical pupils met his eyes, revealing a hint of surprise.
"Who are you!"
Gu Yifeng spoke coldly, and the Longquan Sword immediately appeared in his hand. He pointed it towards the sky, and a powerful aura erupted. Although he was still at the Condensation Realm, the aura of the Void Realm burst forth at this moment, locking onto the vertical pupil.
"No, no, no! Young friend, please wait. Old Dragon means no harm."
A weathered voice rang out, and then the pair of vertical pupils closed and disappeared into the sky in an instant. The next moment, a tall figure appeared in front of Gu Yifeng.
This person had white hair, looked like a young man, with sword-like eyebrows, bright eyes, a straight nose, and distinct lips. He could easily attract the hearts of young girls at a glance.
Despite his appearance, his voice sounded old and weathered.
"Who are you?"
Gu Yifeng asked again, slowly sheathing his sword, but he did not put away the One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones technique; he simply frowned and looked over.
“I am the spirit of this secret realm. This appearance is that of my master from back then, but my master has long since become an immortal and has not returned for many years.”
The man spoke slowly, his eyes filled with nostalgia.
"Spirit of the secret realm? Then why are you spying on my cultivation?"
Gu Yifeng was skeptical upon hearing this. Looking at the man's appearance, he quietly intruded into the jade slip of the Complete Library and began searching.
It took a long time to find the man's appearance in the jade slip. In the Dragon Clan Catalogue, this face corresponds to the Dragon Clan's progenitor—Zulong Cangji.
In other words, this secret realm was created by the Ancestral Dragon and remains in the Dragon Gate, accessible only to those with a special destiny.
"Ahem, please forgive me, young friend. My observation was to test your strength and character. As you've probably guessed, not just anyone can enter this secret realm. And the choice rests entirely in my hands."
"The Azure Dragon bloodline and Black Tortoise inheritance within you led me to decide to bring you into this secret realm. That's why I must take responsibility for the outcome, isn't it?"
The man continued speaking, a smile appearing on his face, as he spoke to Gu Yifeng. With a single gesture, he activated Gu Yifeng's Azure Dragon bloodline.
