Sect Master’s Immortal Journey

Chapter 450: Treasure Hunt

The Cultivation Base of Flying Swan Sect believed that they possessed a lot of information about this small world, giving them a significant advantage over others. The cultivators of Fire Cloud Sect had similar thoughts.

So, they each entered the dense black mist from different directions. Flying Swan Sect was temporarily considered an ally, so they shouldn't be enemies for now. Therefore, at Gu Yue Huaidie's signal, the three of them secretly followed behind the two Gold Core Daoist Masters of Fire Cloud Sect, using the treasure from Daoist Master Luo Ye to conceal their presence as they ventured into the black mist.

The black mist was incredibly thick, hindering Divine Sense and sight. Even the Gold Core Daoist Masters had to come very close to barely see the vast land shrouded beneath the mist. Once inside the black mist, they realized that it was only slightly obstructing their view and not truly hindering their progress.

Daoist Master Dark Flame and Daoist Master Angry Flame led the way, while the handkerchief that wrapped around Meng Zhang and the others quietly followed. Passing through the black mist, Daoist Master Dark Flame and Daoist Master Angry Flame flew directly towards a massive mountain on the west side of the land. They seemed to be well-informed about the situation here.

The terrain on the land was highly complex, featuring various landscapes such as forests, swamps, grasslands, and deserts, all nestled among the mountains. Several long and undulating mountain ranges extended across the land.

The two Gold Core Daoist Masters of Fire Cloud Sect aimed for the main peak of one of these mountain ranges. As they flew, they encountered numerous flying beasts in the sky, many of which were demonic beasts flying in groups. These flying beasts were led by some Second Rank demonic beasts and had divided the surrounding sky into different territories.

Daoist Master Dark Flame and Daoist Master Angry Flame simply dealt with these flying beasts, killing or dispersing them as they proceeded.

Eventually, they safely landed on the peak of a tall and precipitous mountain. This place had become a nesting ground for many demonic beasts due to the absence of humans for a long time. After some intense fighting, the two Gold Core Daoist Masters finally cleared the area, ensuring that their subsequent actions wouldn't be disturbed.

Though most of the void was empty, there were some rare and precious resources scattered in a few places. Many of these resources were almost impossible to find within the Grand Dust World. The top sects of the Grand Dust World possessed the power to traverse the void and acquire resources from it.

During its heyday, Purple Gold Sect, including its Primordial Spirit predecessors, had an ambitious vision. The Primordial Spirit predecessor of Purple Gold Sect had discovered this vast land within the void and gradually transformed it into a small world suitable for cultivators. They intended to use this small world as a forward base for Purple Gold Sect to explore the void and obtain unique treasures exclusive to the void.

However, transforming this land and establishing the Great Void Restriction to connect it with the Grand Dust World consumed a considerable amount of Purple Gold Sect's resources. Despite giving their all, Purple Gold Sect could only shape this land into a rudimentary form and couldn't further improve or develop it.

Especially after the arrival of that Fifth Rank great power from the outside world, most of Purple Gold Sect's attention was drawn away, and they had no more resources to invest in this small world. When preparing for the conflict between the Fifth Rank great power and True Monarch Tian Zhu, the Primordial Spirit True Monarch of Purple Gold Sect made some preparations in advance and left behind many arrangements, including the sect's inheritance and treasures, hidden within this small world.

Fire Cloud Sect, as a Gold Core sect, had many Gold Core Daoist Masters, but they were not particularly outstanding, and not even a Gold Core late stage cultivator among them.

The main reason for this was the issue with Fire Cloud Sect's inheritance, which was incomplete when it came to cultivation beyond the Gold Core stage. Therefore, the legacy of Purple Gold Sect held special significance for Fire Cloud Sect. Over the years, Fire Cloud Sect had been fixated on the Endless Sea of Sand and had been hostile towards Flying Swan Sect not only due to animosity but also for the further development of Fire Cloud Sect. Many sects nearby knew about the fact that Purple Gold Sect once owned this small world and had mobilized many cultivators to transform it. The Primordial Spirit True Monarch had personally sent them here to work for an extended period.

After the fall of Purple Gold Sect, both Fire Cloud Sect and Flying Swan Sect, along with others, believed that the final legacy of Purple Gold Sect was hidden within this small world. However, the group of Gold Core Daoist Masters lacked the power to enter the void and search for the small world, let alone activate the Great Void Restriction.

If not for the gamble between True Monarch Tian Zhu and the Fifth Rank great power, True Monarch Tian Zhu would not have easily allowed Jin Li Daoist Master to intervene and guide Taiyi Sect and Flying Swan Sect on how to activate the Great Void Restriction. Given this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Fire Cloud Sect naturally wanted to give its all.

Unfortunately, the three Gold Core Daoist Masters were still recovering from heavy injuries, and the most powerful Daoist Master Scarlet Flame was engaged in a confrontation with Daoist Master Fei Shi. Daoist Master Dark Flame and Daoist Master Angry Flame were already the strongest forces that Fire Cloud Sect could send.

Over the years, even though they couldn't enter this small world, Fire Cloud Sect had been striving to collect any information related to it. Many of the remnants of Purple Gold Sect, who had been relentlessly pursued by Flying Swan Sect and unable to establish themselves in the Endless Sea of Sand, ended up falling into the hands of Fire Cloud Sect, which had long been watching for such opportunities. From these remnants, Fire Cloud Sect's understanding of this small world far exceeded Flying Swan Sect's imagination.

Daoist Master Dark Flame and Daoist Master Angry Flame somehow employed a technique that caused a significant crack to appear on the peak of the mountain, revealing a large pit below. Neatly arranged inside the pit were more than a dozen secret boxes.

These secret boxes were special storage devices crafted with a unique method. They were covered with talismans on the surface, and if forcefully opened rather than through the specific method, the box and its contents would automatically be destroyed. Gold Core Daoist Masters with Divine Sense could open most of the secret boxes if they were willing to spend some time experimenting.

Seeing Daoist Master Dark Flame and Daoist Master Angry Flame collect all the secret boxes, Meng Zhang and the others were somewhat eager to take action, but they restrained themselves.

They had just entered this small world and didn't know if the two Gold Core Daoist Masters of Fire Cloud Sect would make any other discoveries. It seemed premature to snatch the treasures right away.

Meng Zhang and the others decided not to rush into a fight for the treasures and chose to continue following them. After Flying Swan Sect and Fire Cloud Sect's Gold Core Daoist Masters entered this land, there were some other Gold Core Daoist Masters who managed to arrive here with the help of the markers along the way.

Of course, there were also a few unlucky individuals with mediocre strength who ended up trapped in traps and unable to escape.
