The Human Emperor Sword and Primordial Talisman Pen discuss the difficulties of advancing to the Mahayana Realm, noting that comprehending too many laws can scatter a cultivator's energy. They explain the importance of gaining Law Origin recognition and the immense time it requires, leading ancient sects to restrict disciples from studying multiple laws. Jiang Fan then inquires about methods to advance from Refining Void to Integration, learning about the rare and precious Integration Pill, which significantly increases advancement chances but is extremely difficult to obtain due to its rare ingredients.

Such an occurrence, the appearance of an Integration Cultivator, is sufficient to establish a Middle power.

"I have never even encountered the mention of such a treasure. It is utterly impossible to locate in this contemporary era; it has likely vanished by now."

The Ten Thousand Transformations Immortal Cauldron expressed its speechlessness.

If it were during the Ancient Era within the Void Realm, perhaps a remote possibility might exist to unearth these rare artifacts.

However, in this present age, their discovery is fundamentally unattainable.

It can be asserted that Integration Pills have effectively faded into obscurity.

"Currently, you will not find them within the Void Realm, but the situation differs in the Spirit Ruins Realm."

"The Spirit Ruins Realm is thriving in its prime; locating them within these Great Thousand Worlds is feasible."

"Beyond the Spirit Ruins Realm, one must also consider the ten great Ancient Sects."

"These Ancient Sects preside over numerous Great Thousand Worlds, and one can only speculate on the vast cultivation resources they have amassed."

"It is conceivable that they have succeeded in refining a considerable number of Integration Pills."

The Human Emperor Sword offered this reminder.

"Indeed, the legacies of those ancient powers span billions of years."

"Furthermore, they have held dominion over many Great Thousand Worlds, birthing an untold quantity of Mahayana Cultivators and Integration Cultivators."

"Should you aim to acquire an Integration Pill, your focus will likely need to be directed towards these formidable forces."

The Ten Thousand Transformations Immortal Cauldron and the other spiritual treasures concurred with nods.

After all, Ancient Sects such as the Guiyuan Sect, the Blood River Sect, and the Five Elements Sect stand as paragons of immense might.

Their foundational strength is unfathomable; the sheer volume of cultivation resources they possess remains an enigma.

"Perhaps a return journey to the Spirit Ruins Realm is warranted."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Fan stroked his chin, contemplating his subsequent course of action.

To be candid, the Void Realm does present a multitude of opportunities, with ancient cave mansions materializing periodically.

Nevertheless, the majority of these chances are tailor-made for cultivators below the Refining Void stage.

For an individual like himself, on the cusp of advancing to Integration, such prospects are merely commonplace.

They offer no assistance in his ascent to the Integration Level.

Lingering in the Void Realm would constitute an absolute waste of precious time, with no certainty regarding the duration required to encounter a fitting opportunity. He possesses no such abundance of time to squander.

Naturally, apart from the Spirit Ruins Realm, ancient entities like the Guiyuan Sect, the Blood River Sect, the Star Sect, and the Ten Thousand Demon Hall are indeed appealing destinations. They undoubtedly harbor a plethora of high-tier opportunities within the Great Thousand Worlds under their jurisdiction.

However, the spatial coordinates of the worlds they inhabit are not yet within his mastery.

Even if he desired to travel there, it would be an impossibility.

Yet, if his ambition is to progress further, these locales are undeniably worth investigating.

Nonetheless, these pursuits are relegated to the period subsequent to his attainment of Integration.

"Husband,"

"A significant event has transpired."

"In the Western Continent, a substantial Source Stone Ore Vein has unexpectedly emerged within a mountain range belonging to the Celestial Roc Race."

At this juncture, a message from Lu Youyou swiftly arrived via Jiang Fan’s Communication Talisman.

A large Source Stone Ore Vein?!

Upon witnessing this news, Jiang Fan’s pupils contracted, and his heart could not help but quicken its pace. It was truly astounding intelligence.

The Primordial Talisman Sect had previously unearthed certain Source Stone Ore Veins, but they were all diminutive in scale.

Even so, the Primordial Talisman Sect reaped immense benefits from those discoveries.

Since obtaining these Source Stones, the sect’s refined elixirs, Spirit Rice, and Spirit Medicine had gained extended preservation capabilities, becoming invaluable strategic assets for the sect.

Therefore, concerning treasures such as Source Stones, there can never be an excess.

More critically, a grand Source Stone Ore Vein holds the potential to yield such a copious quantity of Source Stones.

Furthermore, these Source Stone Ore Veins possess the capacity for continuous regeneration.

Should only a minor fraction be extracted, and then sealed for a period, the Source Stones can naturally regenerate.

This is precisely why, in antiquity, Source Stone Ore Veins were of paramount importance to major powers, absolutely not resources they would readily cede to rival forces.

"A large Source Stone Ore Vein? Secure it with utmost urgency."

"Such a treasure manifesting within the territory of the Celestial Roc Race represents a colossal opportunity."

"No, wait, numerous cultivators from the Celestial Roc Race are positioned in proximity to the Source Stone Ore Vein. They must be expelled."

"Do these Celestial Roc Race cultivators even comprehend the intrinsic value of such a treasure?"

Upon receiving this intel, the Primordial Talisman Pen, the Demon-Vibrating Bell, the Ten Thousand Transformations Immortal Cauldron, and the other magical treasures exclaimed with fervent excitement, as Source Stones bestow substantial advantages upon them as well.

Were they to absorb certain Source Stones, their spirituality would be profoundly enhanced, and their injuries would mend with remarkable speed; truly a miraculous outcome.

Bang~~

A subtle tremor ran through Jiang Fan’s mind, and a piece of information seamlessly integrated itself into the depths of his consciousness.

"The discovery of a vast Source Stone Ore Vein signifies a new era in the Void Realm's Spiritual Energy Revival. In the coming times, the Void Realm will witness the proliferation of Refining Void Cultivators, and the emergence of even Integration Cultivators is not far off as the Spiritual Energy Revival continues its accelerated pace.

However, this development presents both a significant opportunity and a potential calamity, for paramount ore veins are frequently accompanied by unforeseen perils."

"Fate offers you a guiding hand."

"Fate Hint 1: This expansive Source Stone Ore Vein is situated within the Piaomiao Mountain Range, a territory fiercely guarded by the Celestial Roc Race. Consequently, its appearance will undoubtedly be detected by them.

Yet, unbeknownst to the Celestial Roc Race, a demonic nest, a terrifying entity dormant since the Ancient Era, lies concealed deep within this colossal Source Stone Ore Vein.

The awakening of this major Source Stone Ore Vein also stirs the demonic nest from its slumber. The arrival of the Celestial Roc Race will fuel the rapid growth of the demonic nest, leading to the proliferation of countless demons. Should this situation remain unchecked, the entirety of the Celestial Roc Race's domain risks transforming into a vast expanse of demonic territory."

"Fate Hint 2: Fortunately, this demonic nest is currently in its nascent stage of awakening and does not possess the formidable power seen in the Spirit Ruins Realm. With the right timing and approach, you possess the capability to obliterate it entirely.

Nevertheless, exercise caution, for this demonic nest is a unique type of demon possessing sentience. If its circumstances turn perilous, it possesses the ability to burrow into the earth and escape with remarkable swiftness, rendering it exceedingly difficult for conventional cultivators to track its movements.

Nevertheless, guided by the fate hint, you can pinpoint its exact location, affording you a singular chance to vanquish this demonic nest with relative ease."

Upon assimilating this crucial information, a spark ignited in Jiang Fan’s eyes. He had never imagined that a demonic nest would be lurking within the very Source Stone Ore Vein.

Having navigated perils within the Spirit Ruins Realm, he was acutely aware of the immense terror a demonic nest could unleash.

These demonic nests function as colossal strongholds for the Demon Race.

They provide sanctuary for numerous demons, possess the capacity to mend their injuries, and are capable of generating vast numbers of demonic entities.

Even more terrifying is their ability to corrupt the land, poisoning it and emitting malevolent Demonic Qi.

Anywhere a demonic nest establishes itself, that area inevitably transforms into a Demon Realm.

Had it not been for the presence of these demonic nests in the Spirit Ruins Realm, the Human Race's Great Xuan Dynasty would not have endured such a brutal conflict.

Each instance of a demonic nest being eradicated came at an astronomical price.

"Ah, yes, during the ancient epoch of the Void Realm, a calamitous demon infestation also occurred."

"Consequently, a multitude of demonic nests naturally came into existence."

"However, the Void Realm was the domain of numerous ancient Great Powers and many True Spirits."

"That is why these demonic nests were unable to precipitate any significant turmoil."

"They were likely dismantled by the major powers before they could achieve any substantial growth."

"But these demonic nests are a peculiar breed of demon; they possess intelligence."

"Should their situation become disadvantageous, they would conceal themselves and fall into a profound slumber."

"Thereafter, they would await a propitious moment to erupt."

"Within the Spirit Ruins Realm, certain such demonic nests did awaken, catching the Human Race completely unprepared."

Jiang Fan narrowed his eyes, replaying various pieces of intelligence regarding demonic nests in his mind.

Without question, the danger posed by demonic nests was beyond comprehension.

They possessed a high degree of intelligence.

If confronted by an opponent they could not defeat, they would resort to hiding or even outright flight.

Given the opportunity to mature, they would rapidly establish their presence, consuming the life forms in the vicinity and spawning legions of demons.

Even more frightening was their nature as immense teleportation arrays themselves.

They held the capacity to link with other demonic nests.

Thus, upon the emergence of a demonic nest, it could continuously ferry demons from other locales.
