Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World Chapter 1117 - 542: Cangwu Immortal Mansion, Another Destiny Prompt

"Hehe, never mind then."

"If you're not willing, just act like I never mentioned it."

A cold snort escaped Fan Yiming.

He wasn't stupid, and he certainly wouldn't choose to take the blame himself.

Should this realm truly hide unforeseen perils, wouldn't that spell his doom?

Reckless cultivators never survive for long.

In this strange Great Thousand World, even utmost caution is merely wise.

"Junior Brother Fan, the perils in the Void Realm go far beyond that."

"Besides us, nine other great powers lurk in the Void Realm too."

"Exposure could make us everyone's bullseye."

Peng Jingzhe laid it out.

Vigilance was required not just against the Void Realm's own threats but also against rival sect cultivators.

Discovering treasure would inevitably spark conflict, after all.

Sect regulations held no sway here.

Death in this place meant dying without justice.

The sect dispatched them as mere fodder to test the Void Realm's hazards before sending more aid.

Yet while the sect saw them as expendable, they had no desire to perish.

Beyond survival, they sought ample resources within the Void Realm to break through and enter the Integration Realm.

Attaining the Integration Realm would elevate their standing to that of elders.

For the ancient Guiyuan Sect, spanning hundreds of millions of years, only Integration Cultivators truly mattered.

Those beneath Integration were nothing but fodder.

Void Refining Cultivators ranked as premium fodder.

Nothing could be done about it.

Thanks to Life Source Stones, relics from eons ago endured.

They slumbered within the sect.

Without reaching Integration Realm, one simply lacked prominence.

"Right, remember the Guiyuan Sect's main objective."

"Locating the Gate of the Void concealed in the Void Realm."

"It's the mightiest Magical Treasure of the Void Realm."

"Long ago, Taixu Sect wielded the Gate of the Void to dominate countless worlds."

"Our thirty-six Great Thousand Worlds under control all stem from Taixu Sect's legacy."

"Without Taixu Sect's inter-world Teleportation Arrays, the sect alone couldn't have discovered so many realms."

Lu Zongyao sighed deeply.

Without this task, he'd never have learned of Guiyuan Sect's storied past.

Nor realized the Gate of the Void, that Immortal Artifact, persisted.

Distances among the myriad Great Thousand Worlds stretched impossibly far.

A Mahayana Cultivator soaring the Endless Void might take unknown ages to arrive elsewhere.

That's why Guiyuan Sect, despite hundreds of millions of years, hadn't claimed new worlds.

Ability wasn't the issue.

Locating worlds in the Endless Void proved impossible.

It was akin to hunting a needle in an ocean of hay.

Securing the Gate of the Void would let them pinpoint worlds effortlessly, cross the Endless Void, and claim boundless treasures.

The other nine great powers shared this very ambition.

The one to claim the Gate of the Void would reign supreme.

They would rise as the new Taixu Sect.

"Hehe, unearthing the Gate of the Void isn't so easy."

"Indeed, rumors say that Magical Treasure shattered in an ancient disaster."

"Destroyed means no chance of recovery."

"Hard to tell, we might stumble upon the Gate of the Void by fortune."

"Quit fantasizing—even if hunting the Gate of the Void is the sect's top aim, my focus is seizing a fitting chance here, maybe breakthroughs to Integration Realm await."

Fan Yiming, Peng Jingzhe, and Lu Zongyao chatted back and forth.

Evidently, each harbored personal schemes.

Naturally, self-interest trumped blind loyalty to sect duties for all.

Their own gains came first.

"Hold on, big news just dropped."

Fan Yiming's face shifted upon checking his Communication Talisman.

Though uninterested in toppling Eastern Continent's elite sects, they'd covertly controlled lesser groups for intel gathering.

Thus staying ahead on all Void Realm matters.

"What occurred?"

The duo promptly inquired.

"A long-forgotten ancient relic has surfaced on the Eastern Continent."

"Named the Cangwu Immortal Mansion, it appears to be a celestial palace originating from the Immortal Realm."

Fan Yiming balled his fists tightly, his face brimming with wild excitement.

He had never imagined that mere moments after stepping into the Void Realm, he would behold the rise of a celestial palace.

One must realize that across the vast array of Great Thousand Worlds ruled by the Guiyuan Sect, not a single celestial palace exists.

In truth, a celestial palace represents a relic from the Immortal Realm, one that can only descend from there.

Yet the gulf separating an average Great Thousand World from the Immortal Realm remains far too immense.

Securing any treasures from the Immortal Realm stands completely out of reach.

Up to now, the bulk of treasures possessed by the Guiyuan Sect and comparable powers were harvested from the Void Realm.

What's more, these invaluable treasures stay firmly under the elders' control, utterly inaccessible to them.
