The Heavenly Court powerhouse activated the golden compass, which shone brightly, enveloping the members of the Heavenly Court in golden light before they entered one of the entrances.
“Ancestor, the Heavenly Court came prepared—they definitely know how to break this formation. The entrance they’ve chosen is certainly the path of life. We just need to follow them to get the treasure.”
A member of the Ancient Feng Family, Feng Chen, brought out his Flying Sword, wanting to follow the people of the Heavenly Court in.
“Fool!”
The Elder Ancestor of the Feng Family stopped Feng Chen.
“But Ancestor…”
Feng Chen did not understand what was wrong with his idea.
Changliu’s immortal on the side spoke, “Your logic is naturally not wrong. The fact that the people of the Heavenly Court did not hesitate to enter the formidable Great Formation laid down by Qingwei True Sovereign indicates that they came prepared. However, you are mistaken in what followed. When Qingwei True Sovereign designed this formation, he already took such scenarios into account. The eighty-one entrances of this Great Formation are constantly shifting—you would end up in a different place even if you followed them in.”
“So it is, I was ignorant.”
Feng Chen broke out in a cold sweat.
The Mountain Protection Array created by Qingwei True Sovereign was unpredictable; Feng Chen had almost charged into a dead end.
The Immortal Dragon Emperor snorted coldly, “Since the people from the Heavenly Court have found the correct entrance, if we keep hesitating here, the treasure will be taken by them. Let’s take a gamble on fortune.”
The Immortal Dragon Emperor brought out a spear, which radiated black light, enveloping the Immortal Dragon Emperor and his Imperial Guards. They chose the nearest entrance and charged straight in.
The Immortal Dragon Emperor was a ruthless character, daring to bet on a probability of one in eighty-one.
“As cultivators seeking immortality, we are meant to defy fate and take risks—why not give it a try?”
Following the Immortal Dragon Emperor, the Taishi Holy Land also randomly entered an entrance.
Everyone realized that the people from the Heavenly Court had found the correct passage, and if they didn’t act quickly, the treasures of Qianyuan Cave Heaven would be taken by the Heavenly Court.
Thus, one after another, teams from Holy Lands and Prestigious Families took the risk and entered the formidable Great Formation.
They were all betting on the probability of one in eighty-one.
Of course, these powerhouses who dared to charge into the formation randomly all had some lifesaving methods.
A portion of cultivators, weaker and without Dao Artifacts, hesitated for a long time and dared not to rashly enter the formidable Great Formation set by Qingwei True Sovereign.
For one, they did not have the confidence to escape from a dead end, and secondly, with the Heavenly Court and various Holy Lands competing for Qingwei True Sovereign’s treasures, even if they found the path of life, they might not be able to reach it first.
“Xue’er, let’s go in.”
Li Heng, the Palace Master of Guanghan Palace, brought Guanghan Palace’s Dao Artifact, confident that she could survive under the formidable Great Formation set by Qingwei True Sovereign.
If Qingwei True Sovereign were still alive to personally operate this formidable Great Formation, then it would be hard for everyone to escape unscathed, but this formation was ultimately unattended.
Li Heng brought out a palace-like magical treasure, gathered the people of Guanghan Palace inside, and then turned into a streak of light, randomly entering an entrance.
Liu Mufeng said to Lin Xuantong, “Xuantong, what do you think?”
Lin Xuantong gave a helpless smile, “Having come all this way, how can we not give it a try?”
Teams from Mount Taihua and Yaochi selected entrances and went in separately.
White light swirled before their eyes as the team from Mount Taihua entered the formation.

Inside the Great Formation, there were still endless mountains and forests, with the world’s power suppressing everyone’s cultivation and Divine Skills.
“Hmm?”
Lu Changsheng noticed that the people from Yaochi were also there.
Lin Xuantong and Liu Mufeng looked at each other, bewildered.
“Qingwei True Sovereign’s Qimen Great Formation is truly marvelous. We clearly entered from different entrances, yet we’ve somehow ended up on the same path.”
Lin Xuantong couldn’t help but admire Qingwei True Sovereign’s prowess.
This formidable Great Formation, even strong cultivators at the Divine King Realm were unable to break through it and had to proceed in an orderly fashion.
Liu Mufeng was relaxed, “Since that’s the case, our two groups should join forces. Should we encounter danger, we’ll be more likely to overcome it together.”
“Let’s do that. If we find the treasure, we will share it equally.”
“Agreed.”
Mount Taihua and Yaochi had a good relationship and quickly came to an agreement.
The people from Mount Taihua and Yaochi brought out their Flying Swords and flew toward the depths of Qianyuan Cave Heaven, hoping to arrive at its depths as soon as possible to seize the treasures.
Qianyuan Cave Heaven was a world unto itself, vast and boundless. With their cultivation suppressed by the world’s power, they required a long time to reach the depths of Qianyuan Cave Heaven, even with Sword Flight.
Of course, for Immortal Emperors with lifespans of millions of years, this amount of time was still bearable.
Lu Changsheng did not see Xia Ningxue; presumably, the team from Guanghan Palace had entered a different passage.
“`
Lu Changsheng’s judgment was correct. The group from Guanghan Palace sped along on their Flying Swords, swiftly traveling high above an ancient forest.
“The people ahead are from the Heavenly Court, it seems we’ve found the right path.”
Li Heng led the Guanghan Palace group quickly towards the depths of Qianyuan Cave Heaven and discovered that they were following the team led by Ku from the Heavenly Court.
The spirits of the Guanghan Palace group lifted.
With the Son of the Heavenly Emperor himself leading the team, they surely came prepared and would find the way to survive at the first opportunity.
The fact that the people from Guanghan Palace encountered the Heavenly Court here indicated that they had made a correct wager.
Yet in the delicate features of Xia Ningxue, there was a trace of worry.
Her team from Guanghan Palace had found the way to survive, but they had not seen Lu Changsheng; this meant the team from Mount Taihua had taken the wrong path.
If Lu Changsheng were to encounter danger…
“Xue’er, you needn’t worry. Your beloved is the Son of Fortune and will not meet with mishaps so easily,” Li Heng noticed her disciple’s concerns and comforted Xia Ningxue while they continued on their way.
“Mhm.”
Xia Ningxue nodded, feeling a bit more at ease.
“Your Highness, the people from Guanghan have caught up to us.”
“Their luck is really quite good, to have come across such a one in eighty-one chance,” Ku’s Divine Sense swept behind them and paused for a few seconds on Xia Ningxue.
Ku hesitated for a moment.
Xia Ningxue had an unmatched beauty, astonishing as a celestial being, and she possessed the cold temperament of a Goddess.
However, Ku only hesitated for a moment before firming his own Daoist heart, “I am the Son of the Heavenly Emperor, destined to possibly take charge of the Immortal Realm in the future, and must not be swayed by the beauty of a woman.”
“Your Highness, people from Guanghan have been continuously following us. How should we handle this?”
Even Divine King Realm powerhouses had to consult Ku for instructions.
“If they like to follow, then let them. All the Holy Lands think our Heavenly Court is too dominant; we cannot give them any more fodder for criticism. Once we find the treasure of the Qingwei True Sovereign, if they contend for it, then we’ll take action against them,” Ku replied.
“Understood.”
The group from Heavenly Court continued flying forward.
Unbeknownst to them, three hundred years had passed.
The Mount Taihua squad encountered numerous puppets and traps along the way, even including puppets at the Great Accomplished Immortal Emperor Realm.
But these puppets were no match for powerhouses like Lin Xuantong, Elder Ancestor of Lin Clan, and Jiang Family Ancestor. Jiang Family Ancestor personally took action, reducing the Great Accomplished Immortal Emperor Realm puppet to dust and rubble.
Occasionally, Lin Xuantong would allow Lu Changsheng, Lin Qinghan, and the disciples under Lu Changsheng’s tutelage to deal with these puppets, for training.
“It seems we’ve taken the wrong path,” Lin Xuantong realized after leading the team for three hundred years that they were on a dead-end road.
“After we rest and recover our True Qi, we’ll return the way we came,” Lin Xuantong wasn’t stubborn, immediately adjusting their course upon realizing they had gone astray.
The group quickly sat down in meditation to recover their True Qi.
Subject to the suppressive powers of the world within Qianyuan Cave Heaven, even Sword Flight consumed a substantial amount of True Qi.
“I wonder how Xia Ningxue is doing,” Lu Changsheng could not simulate Xia Ningxue’s life journey, and his only concern was for her safety.
While everyone was meditating to restore their cultivation, suddenly, ahead of them, Demonic Qi enveloped the sky as billowing demonic clouds swept towards the two small squads from Mount Taihua and Yaochi.
Liu Yiyi stood up, “Is that mass of demonic clouds one of the mechanisms of an unmatched Great Formation?”
However, the expressions of Liu Mufeng and Feng Qing’er, who were husband and wife, were full of caution, “Qingwei True Sovereign never cultivated Demonic Arts. Logically speaking, even if he set up a Great Formation, it shouldn’t generate Demonic Qi.”
Lin Xuantong, Elder Ancestor of Lin Clan, and Jiang Family Ancestor all concluded their meditations, ready to take action at any moment.
“Prepare your magical artifacts for battle,” Lu Changsheng reminded the disciples.
He had a bad premonition.
The vast expanse of Demonic Qi ahead was disconcerting.
The emergence of Qianyuan Cave Heaven might indeed be a trap.
