After breaking through to the Concentration Realm, Gu Yifeng slowly opened his eyes. Feeling the abundant spiritual power within his body, he did some simple exercises, which greatly improved his combat strength. However, he could not yet use the exclusive skills of the Concentration Realm, because it was not a true divine soul.
The spirit platform contains a illusory god, so naturally it cannot use its divine soul to perform special moves like ordinary cultivators in the Condensation Realm.
Just as Gu Yifeng was peacefully signing in in the prison, ten days passed in the blink of an eye, and the old man in hemp clothing came again, still pretending to be weak and pale.
"Boy, have you thought it through? My patience is running out."
The old man snorted coldly and spoke slowly.
"Really? The Three Pure Ones Alliance isn't giving you much time left, is it? Let me guess, ten days? Twenty days? Or a month? With the routine inspections every now and then, you're almost at your breaking point, aren't you?"
"But there's something I find strange. Logically speaking, with so many people in the Three Pure Ones Alliance, why do you insist on having me?"
Gu Yifeng couldn't help but ask.
"You! Hmph, so what if I tell you? All the cultivators in the Three Pure Alliance are registered in the Xuandao Palace. If they need to be transferred, we have to go through the procedures. Everyone in the alliance can find out."
"You haven't left the secret realm of my Three Pure Ones Alliance yet, so naturally you're not registered. All I need to do is change your appearance and bind you to my grandson's mansion token, and you'll be my grandson. As for what happens in the lower realm, I just need to interfere with it again."
The old man in hemp clothing sneered, and then calmly explained to Gu Yifeng. Although he didn't understand a few of the terms, he could roughly understand their meaning. The "prefectural order" was probably the same as an ID card on Blue Star.
"The algorithm is good, and the idea is wonderful. Unfortunately, old man, you calculated everything, but you didn't expect me to refuse. I remember vaguely hearing that there is a curse on the lower realm, right? Although I don't know when I remembered it, I suppose that's why you didn't dare to kill me."
Gu Yifeng remained unfazed, immediately guessing why the old man dared not lay a hand on him.
While the fact that the Three Pure Ones Alliance was in charge of supervising the lower realms was certainly one of the reasons the old man didn't want to kill him, it was by no means the whole story. According to the contents of the jade slip, not everyone had logged into the Seventy-Two Prefectures.
On this continent of light, the number of independent cultivators far exceeds the number of cultivators recorded in the seventy-two prefectures. Although there is no specific ratio, with the shrewdness of Gu Yifeng, how could he not guess the true situation?
Since resources are limited, there will always be people who will disobey the allocation of the seventy-two prefectures and set up their own sects to compete for resources. Therefore, it is natural that some people will take the lead in establishing independent sects, and it is even possible that an alliance of independent cultivators will emerge in order to fight against the seventy-two prefectures.
Therefore, it was not entirely easy for the old man in hemp clothing to capture a rogue cultivator. In short, all the factors combined led to the current situation.
"Very well, I'll give you ten more days. If you still don't agree, you can just wait to die."
Seemingly having his sore spot touched by Gu Yifeng, the old man snorted coldly and turned away.
Watching the old man's figure disappear, he frowned, realizing that what the other man said was true. He was probably under a lot of pressure from the Three Pure Ones Alliance. No matter what the old man's status was, it certainly wasn't particularly high.
With this in mind, Gu Yifeng turned his attention to the system again.
"System, help! Help!"
Gu Yifeng cried out in his mind, and received a response after three breaths.
"Stop making so much noise! What's going on? Can't this system just shut up for a while?!"
The system's irritable voice rang out, even carrying a hint of danger as it locked onto Gu Yifeng.
"If you don't help me, I'll be dead in ten days. If you find another host, won't you be driven crazy? Hurry, think of a way to speed up the process of nurturing the clone with One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones!"
Gu Yifeng was somewhat helpless and asked anxiously.
"The nurturing process is unchangeable; it must last forty-nine days, not a single day less, to ensure that the resulting avatar won't have any problems. Since you've already obtained the Immortal Slaughtering Formation Diagram, why not try directly manipulating this Immortal Slaughtering Sword Prison in reverse?"
The system voice sounded, and after a brief explanation, the user logged off, not bothering to pay any more attention to Gu Yifeng.
These words were like a wake-up call. He immediately sat down cross-legged, recalling the structure of the Immortal Slaughtering Formation Diagram in his mind. Then, the spiritual power in his body spread out and began to slowly spread in along the trajectory inside the sword prison.
However, Gu Yifeng only lasted for less than a breath before being repelled by an even stronger force. The immense resistance was something his early-stage Nascent Soul Realm strength was simply insufficient to overcome.
"No, this kind of sword formation could not possibly be controlled by a master all the time. Encountering resistance means that I entered the formation incorrectly. I need to find the core of the formation."
Gu Yifeng quickly sorted out his thoughts. He had been too excited because the system had reminded him, and for a moment he forgot that for formations, it was necessary to find the core of the formation to solve the problem.
Thinking of this, his spiritual power immediately condensed in his eyes and unfolded along with the Hidden Eyes. Soon, traces of arrays appeared throughout the entire cell.
Gu Yifeng's cell was only on the edge of the sword formation, so the location of the formation's eye was not difficult to find. It only took him half an incense stick's time to find the trace at the edge of the cell.
"The Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, come forth!"
Gu Yifeng let out a low shout, and the sword formation he had condensed with spiritual power instantly returned to his hand. After refining it again and confirming that it was correct, he placed the sword formation at the core of the sword prison.
He then sat down cross-legged and slowly activated the sword formation. The power of the small sword formation immediately emanated, and waves of suppressing force spread out in the opposite direction, extending through the formation's core.
Gu Yifeng was quite cautious throughout the journey, and even dared not use the power of the sword formation to fight against the sword prison in the slightest, so as to avoid fully activating the sword formation and thus alerting the Three Pure Alliance.
After about another hour, he figured out the operating rules of the sword prison. His sword prison was actually a large array drawn on top of a sword array at the headquarters of the Three Pure Ones Alliance.
The power of these great formations is borrowed from the power of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, which then seeps into the interior of the prison cells and transforms into a suppressive force. Therefore, the suppressive force of each prison cell is an independent small formation.
Countless small formations are connected to a large formation, which in turn is connected to the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation. This is the complete structure of the Sword Prison.
Gu Yifeng spent an hour isolating the small formation instantly, and the power of the Zhuxian Sword Formation he borrowed could be used by him. Anyone who made a rash move would only be met with his counterattack.
"Done! You old bastard, you're going to die!"
Gu Yifeng sneered twice, then placed his sword formation into the core of the formation and made some adjustments. It would erupt in ten days, at which time it would detonate the entire sword prison.
