Chapter 1246: Chapter 574: The Malice of the Void Realm’s Heavenly Dao, the Calamity of Foreign Cultivators

"No, that’s not entirely correct."

"Previously, I only told you to be careful, not that you can’t do anything."

"Among the many ancient relics that have emerged, most are very dangerous."

"But there are a small portion that are actually quite safe."

"However, which relics are safe, this still requires you to discern yourselves."

"If they were all dangerous, then no one would be able to gain opportunities."

"As long as you are a bit careful, you can still gain a lot of benefits."

Lu Fucheng explained.

He didn’t mean for the brothers to do nothing, just hoped they would be cautious, not blinded by greed.

Otherwise, not only might they not gain any opportunities, but they could also lose their lives, which would be highly regrettable.

"Yes, Senior Brother Lu."

The many Void Refining Cultivators from the Divine Weapon Sect nodded.

Some of them agreed, some were indifferent, and some were very confident.

In short, this was the diversity of life; they all had their own thoughts.

However, this had little to do with Lu Fucheng; he had already fulfilled his duty as a guide.

How these brothers behaved in the future was not his concern.

......

In the blink of an eye, three months passed.

Initially, these cultivators from the Divine Weapon Sect were very prudent and did not act rashly.

Instead, they traveled the Southern Continent gathering intelligence, trying to verify Lu Fucheng’s information.

Soon they discovered that the Primordial Talisman Sect indeed dominated the Southern Continent.

This sect had gathered all humans.

They also constructed massive cities throughout the Southern Continent.

Almost all humans lived within these cities, with no rural areas or towns.

Moreover, the entire city was enveloped by extensive arrays, and outsiders could not enter.

External cultivators, like them, must obtain identity from the Primordial Talisman Sect to enter the city.

Otherwise, they would be considered outsiders and denied entry.

However, this was of no concern to these Void Refining Cultivators.

After all, the disciples from the Primordial Talisman Sect were mostly Low-Tier Cultivators; they probably didn’t possess treasures of interest.

They cared more about the suddenly emerging ancient cave mansions.

Finding the treasures from one of these ancient cave mansions would set them for life.

Indeed, their luck was quite good; they discovered several ancient cave mansions had suddenly emerged.

This made the Divine Weapon Sect cultivators ecstatic.

Yet, due to Lu Fucheng’s advice, they dared not act rashly, fearing these ancient cave mansions were traps.

However, apart from the Divine Weapon Sect, other forces existed on the Southern Continent, such as the Blood River Sect, Thousand Illusion Sect, Five Elements Sect, Guiyuan Sect, and other Ancient Sect cultivators.

Among them, bold and daring Void Refining Cultivators were not absent.

They didn’t hesitate, charging in immediately, with good fortune.

Surprisingly, they didn’t encounter much danger.

Instead, they acquired the legacy of an Integration Great Power, along with tens of thousands of Immortal Stones, numerous Life Source Stones, and even Tier Six Elixirs.

This sudden wealth made those Void Refining Cultivators wealthy, equivalent to gaining a Void Refining Cultivator’s life-long fortune.

Undoubtedly, this sudden wealth made the Divine Weapon Sect cultivators envious.

"Alas, Senior Brother Lu is really cautious now, he’s overly prudent. I always said we shouldn’t listen to him."

"Isn’t that true? While caution might lead to a longer life, it wouldn’t bring any benefits."

"With our mediocre qualifications and no background, can we even expect to ascend to Integration without taking risks? Probably, we’d just slowly await death."

"Neither men nor horses grow fat without risk; to gain fortune, there’s no way not to take risks. I think it’s time to take a gamble. I don’t ask for much, just enough to gather three hundred thousand Immortal Stones and I’ll stop."

"Three hundred thousand Immortal Stones? That’s too greedy; ten thousand Immortal Stones will suffice."

"Let’s take a chance; I refuse to believe we’ll be so unlucky."

The various Void Refining Cultivators of the Divine Weapon Sect debated, their eyes turning red.

They believed they came to the Void Realm not to waste time but to get rich.

If they truly did nothing, it would be a squander of this Void Realm opportunity.

Hence, they were fully prepared to explore one of the newly emerged ancient relics.

...

Only a few days passed.

Lu Fucheng was peacefully cultivating within his cave mansion when a Junior Brother, Qian Guan, suddenly returned in a panic, looking very haggard and severely injured.

After Lu Fucheng treated him, Qian Guan finally caught his breath.

"What happened? Why have you returned alone; what about the other brothers?"

Lu Fucheng felt very confused.

Previously, a large group had set out, yet now only Qian Guan returned.

Though he was uncertain what had transpired, seeing Qian Guan’s state, he had an inkling, but he sought specific details.

"It’s over, Senior Brother Lu, it’s all over."

"We didn’t progress smoothly from the start."

"Because that ancient cave mansion had long been occupied by the Primordial Talisman Sect cultivators, they acquired a great deal of treasures from within."
