As Wang Shouzhe led Wang Ningxi and the others leisurely on their way toward the Lingyun Holy Ground without any rush.

Within the Lingyun Holy Ground, waves were gradually starting to emerge.

Within the vast expanse of the Sacred Land, there lay a range of majestic mountains called the “Taiyi Mountain Range”. These mountains were one of the nine veins of the Sacred Land and the dwelling place of the Taiyi Jinyang Branch.

As one of the more powerful lineages among the nine veins of the Sacred Land, the Taiyi Jinyang Branch had many disciples. Thus, the Taiyi Mountain Range naturally blossomed with immortal flowers, hidden by jade pavilions, with Spirit Birds coming and going. From time to time, powerful beings would soar across the sky, stirring up trails of radiant light — a true vision of an Immortal Family.

The main peak of the Taiyi Mountain Range was named “Taiyi Peak”, the tallest and most majestic of them all.

Behind Taiyi Peak lay a separate area designated as forbidden. Within this area stood a mountain that was neither majestic nor peculiar, named “Jinyang Peak”.

This peak was the heritage site of the Taiyi Jinyang Branch.

Defenses around the heritage site were tight-knit; it was not only enveloped by formations but also guarded by Spirit Beasts and patrolled by disciples, making it impenetrable.

With the exception of Lang Ya Enlightened One, who was the vein master, only the Great Heavenly Proud who were permitted and qualified to inherit would be allowed inside the heritage site.

Yet the purpose of the heritage site was not solely for the inheritance.

Beneath Jinyang Peak lay several top-quality gold and fire Spirit Veins; thus, the Fire Spiritual Energy at the peak was rich. Even without receiving the heritage, cultivating in the vicinity of Jinyang Peak was highly beneficial.

Therefore, this place was also where Enlightened Ones of generations past would retreat for deep cultivation.

That day.

In the central region of the Taiyi Mountain Range, on the preaching stage of Taiyi Peak, an Elder named Jin Ji, dressed in a dark golden Dao robe, was lecturing a few disciples.

As the senior disciple of Lang Ya Enlightened One, in his Master’s absence, Jin Ji was mostly in charge of managing the matters of the Taiyi Jinyang Branch.

With over six hundred years of age and despite the support of superior resources from the Lingyun Holy Ground and having consumed many lifespan-extending Dan medicines, he inevitably aged, his eyes no longer as sharp as in his youth.

Just as Elder Jin Ji was at a crucial moment in his lecture.

Suddenly, A massive power surged from the direction of Jinyang Peak.

This power was grand and majestic, like a flaming inferno connecting with the sky, scorching the heavens, yet also like a sword unsheathed, revealing its sharp edge.

As the power spread, energy within the sky above Jinyang Peak churned, space was tumultuous, and intense energy fluctuations swept out violently, causing even the Spiritual Energy at the distant Taiyi Peak to tremble restlessly.

“Master has emerged from seclusion!”

Elder Jin Ji’s face lit up with joy, and he immediately rose from the preaching stage.

The faces of the disciples below also broke into smiles.

Those who were qualified to sit here and listen were all core disciples of the Taiyi Jinyang Branch, each one a Sky Pride of the Sky Human Realm, the backbone of the Taiyi Jinyang Branch for the future, numbered in the dozens.

In the midst of speaking, a figure with an imposing presence appeared above Jinyang Peak and stepped forward through the air.

The figure wore a white robe, stood straight and tall, with a graceful aura, and despite the frost on his temples and the aged lines on his face, he still appeared gentle, refined, and elegant.

This person was naturally the current vein master of the Taiyi Jinyang Branch, Lang Ya Enlightened One.

“Congratulations, Master, your Great Divine Power of Jinyang has become even more formidable,” Elder Jin Ji greeted with joy, congratulating with a disciple’s salute.

“It’s just that I’ve mastered the basics more proficiently,” replied Lang Ya Enlightened One with a calm demeanor, “The ‘Taiyi Jinyang True Method’ reaches its limit at the Divine Power Territory. I’ve been in seclusion for many years, trying to find the path forward, yet the more I seek, the wider and more bewildering it seems.”

“If I don’t reach the Void Realm, it’s all in vain…”

He then sighed, a hint of helplessness in his expression.

It was but a vain wish of his.

If the path beyond Divine Power were so easily discovered, why then would the entire Lingyun Holy Ground only have one Codex?

“Why be so disheartened, Master?” Elder Jin Ji consoled, “You are still young among Divinely Powerful Enlightened Ones, and there’s plenty of time to explore in the future. Moreover, within the Sacred Land, there are some remnants to refer to.”

He, whose stature had become somewhat stooped, stood in front of Lang Ya Enlightened One looking almost older, not like his disciple, but more like his senior.

Such was the fate of a Profound Martial cultivator; without reaching Divine Power, one’s lifespan is limited to eight hundred years, naturally showing signs of age early on.

The path of cultivation is resplendent yet cruel in the extreme.

Time waits for no one. When a lifespan is reached, it is reached. No matter how reluctant, one must accept their fate.

But then again, how can a person easily resign to their fate? With the Cultivation base of the Sky Human Realm, one thinks of Purple Abode; with the Cultivation base of the Purple Abode Realm, one thinks of Divine Skills; with the Cultivation base of Divine Skills, one thinks of the Void Realm…

Thus it has always been, through ancient and modern times.

Yet those who truly reach the Void Realm are as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.

“How easy to say, but the path to the Void Realm is as difficult as ascending to heaven,” sighed Lang Ya Enlightened One, “Enough, let’s not talk about this. Has there been any message from Ce?”

“GongYang Junior Brother is still traveling in the Immortal Dynasty,” responded Elder Jin Ji, “Though he sent a letter a few days ago, saying he was preparing to return. It shouldn’t take long for him to come back to the Sacred Land. He definitely won’t miss the struggle for the position of Saint.”
