That barrier was an outposts that Hu Yihui had set up on the surface several hundred years ago. Back then, establishing it had consumed several of Hu Yihui's cultivation epochs of spiritual power, with the sole purpose of avoiding external disturbances so he could live in peace and dedicate himself to cultivation. Now, several centuries had passed, and due to being caught up in various affairs, Hu Yihui had barely visited the place, meaning very few people knew about it, and even fewer were able to enter.
Hu Yihui currently possessed only a fraction of his former cultivation. Although he was still well-versed in numerous esoteric techniques and supreme arts, dragging along the body of a Yin God meant he had to start everything from scratch. Now that the crisis in the Daming Kingdom had been resolved, he decided to take Xu Ruoping and her brother to cultivate diligently within the barrier for a period of time, striving to elevate his cultivation to the next level—at least to the point where he could rival Hu Qingling—before he could feel secure about leaving.
Led by Hu Yihui, the two siblings entered the barrier. At first, the brother and sister had imagined that the "outpost" Hu Yihui spoke of would be something like an air-raid shelter, but upon approaching, they discovered it was a quaint courtyard.
