Upon hearing Gu Yifeng's words, the eerie figure panicked completely, never expecting him to be so resolute in sacrificing himself.
Unfortunately, it was too late to break free. The crimson array on the ground lit up and transformed into a curse seal, binding his body and rendering this demon emperor-level expert completely immobile.
Outside Yuzhou City, a chilling wind blew, accompanied by the cries of countless people, which coalesced into a Mount Tai, pressing down on the Demon Lord. These were the spirits of thousands of cultivators who, even refusing to enter reincarnation, were determined to help Gu Yifeng.
In just three breaths, Gu Yifeng's body was completely burned away, then turned into a talisman, instantly landing on the Demon Lord and disappearing.
The endless crimson light flowed into his body through the Demon-Suppressing Talisman, transforming into an incredibly strong seal that suppressed his dantian.
"No!"
With a roar, the Demon Lord knelt on the ground. His cultivation level continued to decline, instantly falling below the Emperor Realm. However, as an extraterrestrial demon, even if he fell to the Emperor Realm, he would not be lower than the peak of the Refining God Realm.
The aura that surpassed the Refining God Realm instantly attracted the attention of the Heavenly Dao. Streaks of dark lightning gathered and then transformed into a Heavenly Tribulation, striking down upon it.
For the extraterrestrial demons, there was no difference between heavenly tribulation and heavenly punishment. This demon lord couldn't even withstand the force of an incense stick's burning; he was reduced to ashes by heavenly lightning in just three breaths.
Under the residual power of the heavenly calamity, the other heavenly demons were also affected, with most of them dying or being injured.
...
When Gu Yifeng opened his eyes again, he couldn't tell whether he was in the Netherworld or in the Heavenly Realm.
"You're awake? Your choice was decisive, beyond my expectations. Perhaps, you are the most suitable person to inherit the Xuanwu legacy. If there is another demonic calamity, you will be the only chance."
The Xuanwu mark slowly spoke from the side, then pointed a finger at Gu Yifeng's brow. A series of profound information immediately flooded into his mind, leaving a tortoise-snake mark on his brow, which gradually faded and finally disappeared.
Gu Yifeng felt a gentle force flowing into his body. The first thing to change was his physical body. The flexibility of his meridians and his body as a whole was greatly improved.
Next is the dantian. A piece of tortoise shell sinks into the spiritual sea to be nurtured by it. The power on the tortoise shell is extremely quiet. With just a moment of sensing, one can perceive the powerful defense and a suppressive force on it.
Finally, two more techniques appeared in Gu Yifeng's mind. One was a cultivation technique called Xuanming Jue, a quasi-heavenly-rank technique that, after cultivation, would grant control over water-based power.
Furthermore, attacks executed using the Xuanming Technique possess a yin and soft characteristic, penetrating everywhere like flowing water, and also carry a suppressive power, easily suppressing the opponent's strength, as well as powerful defensive capabilities.
The other technique, called the Nine Transformations of the Profound Netherworld, is not entirely an offensive move. It is divided into two volumes. The first volume is the method of transformation. Each time you cultivate a level, your strength will increase by one level after using it, just like a metamorphosis.
The second volume is about the methods to comprehend the secrets of heaven. It uses the mysteries of the Nine Transformations of the Mysterious Netherworld to explore the secrets of heaven. Simply put, it is divination, through which one can predict all things in the world.
However, the method to glimpse the secrets of heaven is extremely difficult to master. Even if the method is provided, one still needs to have a certain talent, and once one glimpses the secrets of heaven, one must bear the consequences.
To perform this method, one needs to use external objects to reveal the changes in celestial secrets. The Xuanwu tortoise shell and copper coins are the most suitable items. There are also people on the continent of Qunguang who can calculate celestial secrets. These people are called diviners.
After a brief inquiry, Gu Yifeng regained his senses.
"Thank you for passing on your knowledge, senior!"
Gu Yifeng respectfully clasped his hands and bowed to the Xuanwu mark.
"It's alright. You'll have to walk your own path from now on. We'll meet again in the Immortal Realm if fate allows."
The Xuanwu Mark waved its hand, then its form dissipated, transforming back into a phantom mark that fell into its dantian.
Gu Yifeng scratched his head, glanced at the Demon-Suppressing Stele again, and then turned and left.
With just a thought, a path would appear in his mind, and following the path would allow him to leave Xuanwu Heaven. Compared to Qinglong Island, Xuanwu Heaven was undoubtedly much more boring.
However, Gu Yifeng felt relieved when he thought about the Demon-Suppressing Stele still standing there. After all, there was something so important here. If people were allowed to enter easily, or if there were other living beings present, the Demon-Suppressing Stele would be broken and things would get out of control.
Gu Yifeng didn't linger and left Xuanwu Heaven along the road. A burst of teleportation light appeared, and he was directly back in the Xuanwu Turtle Clan's territory, right in front of him was the entrance to the One Line Sky.
"Senior Xuan Yin, I'm out!"
Gu Yifeng called out softly to Yixiantian to prevent Xuan Yin from waiting in vain. The old man immediately ran out and was even more surprised when he saw him.
"I'm sorry, but I'm afraid we won't be able to obtain the Xuanwu clan's inheritance for the time being."
When Gu Yifeng saw Xuan Yin, he smiled sheepishly and said...
"Ah? Young friend, you've obtained the divine inheritance?"
Xuan Yin was not too flustered upon hearing this; he was more curious.
"good."
Gu Yifeng nodded slightly, then followed the Xuanming Technique and circulated it once. A drop of water appeared in his palm and he placed it in front of the old man Xuanyin.
"Young Master!"
Without the slightest hesitation, Xuan Yin immediately knelt on one knee, a move that left Gu Yifeng completely dumbfounded.
"Please forgive me, young master! I was being presumptuous. Back then, the Xuanwu Saint Venerable issued a decree that whoever inherits his legacy will become the young master of the Xuanwu clan and must be protected by someone. Now that you have cultivated the Saint Venerable's Xuanming Technique, there is no more effective evidence than this."
"Please grant my request, young master!"
Xuan Yin spoke with utmost seriousness, leading Gu Yifeng to the center of the Xuanwu Turtle clan. With a tap of his cane, the clan's enormous ice bell resounded loudly.
Before an incense stick had burned, all the Xuanwu clan members had gathered in the center. Nangong Wan and her group also rushed over and were overjoyed to see Gu Yifeng.
"Fellow clansmen, Young Master Gu Yifeng has obtained the Holy Venerable's inheritance and mastered the Xuanming Technique. According to the Holy Venerable's message, from this day forward, Young Master Gu will be the young master of our Xuanwu Turtle clan. Does anyone have any objections?"
Xuan Yin slowly spoke, and upon hearing this, Nangong Wan's mouth gaped open. Uncle Gu and the Third Elder also showed astonishment, not expecting Gu Yifeng to be so powerful.
The members of the Xuanwu Turtle clan remained much calmer, though their faces showed surprise and delight. They immediately knelt down and shouted in unison:
"Greetings, Young Master!"
Such a scene was something Gu Yifeng had never seen before, and a fine layer of cold sweat immediately appeared on his forehead.
"Ahem, well, everyone, please get up."
Gu Yifeng coughed twice and said awkwardly.
Xuan Yin nodded slowly upon hearing this, and everyone immediately stood up. They then dismissed the clansmen and led him back to the tent.
"Young Master, let's talk some more."
