"The Celestial Mandate Inheritance is about to begin."
"If I can obtain a large number of cultivation resources from it, Sun Xiao and the Supreme Profound Sect will no longer be a threat to me."
Lu Yuan’s eyes flashed with determination as he spoke.
The Spirit Void Cave Mansion is full of countless opportunities and teeming with Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures. As long as he could gain some Creation, he might even easily step into the Nirvana Realm.
"However, in the cultivation realm, it’s a law of the jungle. Without sufficient power, one can hardly hold onto such opportunities even if obtained."
"Moreover, those who enter the Spirit Void Cave Mansion will be supreme talents nurtured by various forces. Intense battles are bound to occur. I must indeed enhance my power as much as possible."
Thinking of this.
Lu Yuan wasted no time, returning to his courtyard to continue his seclusion training.
With his eyes closed in concentration, his Essence, Qi, and Spirit converged, transforming into a Purifying Heart Treasure Lotus suspended above his head.
As the lotus petals rotated, specks of light rain fell, nourishing every inch of his skin and bones, making his aura increasingly steady and powerful.
While Lu Yuan was immersed in seclusion, consolidating his own cultivation.
News spread rapidly and unbeknownst, reaching the ears of various major powers, causing an uproar throughout the Great Li Dynasty.
The Spirit Void Cave Mansion will soon open, and all who are destined may compete for the Celestial Mandate Inheritance!
Upon hearing this, nearly all forces moved swiftly, implementing countermeasures at the first opportunity.
In the Great Li Dynasty.
Within the heavily fortified Imperial Palace, with its red walls and yellow tiles.
A middle-aged man exuding a majestic aura, dressed in a Dragon Robe, stood with his hands behind his back, at the top of the great hall.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, I have just received urgent news that the Spirit Void Cave Mansion will reopen in half a month."
"This matter concerns the fate of our Great Li Country, I implore Your Majesty to personally make a decision."
Below the great hall.
A figure in a black robe knelt on one knee, reporting respectfully.
"The Spirit Void Cave Mansion opens every ten years, and each time countless treasures appear, enough to influence the fate of our Great Li."
"Especially the Celestial Mandate Inheritance, it must not fall into outsiders’ hands. There can be no room for error in this matter. Let Marquis Wuwei and the Third Prince make the journey."
The Sovereign of Great Li, after pondering for a moment, finally spoke slowly.
"The Third Prince?"
Upon hearing this name, the figure in the black robe trembled slightly, feeling a surge of emotion.
For it is well known in the court and beyond, that the Third Prince of Great Li, Zhou Xun, is not only exceptionally intelligent from a young age but also the most beloved grandson of the Supreme Emperor.
When Zhou Xun was young, the Supreme Emperor went to great lengths to obtain an Exotic Treasure from the depths of the North Sea, thereby bestowing upon him unparalleled foundational talents.
Once he embarked on the path of cultivation, the Great Li Ancestor would often impart teachings and guidance to him.
He was nurtured with countless rare treasures, his needs were always met, cherished as if holding precious jade. Thus, not long after reaching adulthood, Zhou Xun achieved Perfect Soul Palace Cultivation, a peerless talent in the Great Li Dynasty!
Yet now, the Sovereign of Great Li has decreed that Zhou Xun personally visit the Spirit Void Cave Mansion, reflecting the significance he attaches to this matter.
However, thinking deeper, it isn’t surprising.
Master Lingxu originally left this inheritance intending to select a qualified disciple to continue his legacy.
However, the conditions to pass the Celestial Mandate Inheritance are extremely stringent, and for hundreds of years, no one has ever succeeded in acquiring it.
Even the Supreme Emperor of the Great Li Dynasty stumbled upon a significant opportunity by sheer chance, which allowed him to rise as the supreme power of Great Li.
Should the Celestial Mandate Inheritance fall into the hands of another, the consequences would be unimaginable, potentially shaking the very foundation of the Great Li Dynasty.
Yet, from another perspective, Zhou Xun, with his extraordinary talent and unprecedented cultivation aptitude, coupled with his comprehension and foundational talents, might indeed succeed in acquiring the Celestial Mandate Inheritance.
By then, surpassing the achievements of the Supreme Emperor back in those years is not out of the realm of possibility!
On the other side.
In the Celestial South Prefecture, at the Su Family.
As a Sword Cultivation Family with a legacy spanning a thousand years, the Su Family is teeming with powerful figures and budding talents, boasting no fewer than five Nirvana Realm experts alone.
Notably, the Su Family elder, in his youth, once subdued elite talents of his generation with just a single Iron Sword, earning renown as the Great Li Sword Saint.
"Father, I’ve heard the news that the Spirit Void Cave Mansion is about to open, and other forces have already taken action. What should our Su Family do?"
Su Zhengyang, the patriarch of the Su Family, stood nervously before a silver-haired elder, not daring to breathe too loudly.
This elder was none other than Elder Su, Su Qifeng, renowned as the Great Li Sword Saint.
"Our Su Family only cultivates the Sword Dao. The Celestial Mandate Inheritance left by Master Lingxu is on a different path than ours."
"However, external stones can polish jade. If Yun’Er can obtain some opportunities, it will greatly benefit her future path."
"I’ve been cooped up at home for too long, feeling stifled. I’ll accompany Yun’Er on this journey myself."
Though Su Qifeng was advanced in years, his words were forceful and sharp like a sword, inspiring awe and reverence.
"With father personally taking the lead, Yun’Er will certainly be safe and sound."
Su Zhengyang was overjoyed, clasping his fists in salute.
Meanwhile.
Beyond the Great Li Dynasty and the Su Family.
Various sects, including the Supreme Profound Sect, the Purifying Spirit Hall, the Rebirth Sect, and the Evil Spirit Sect, all dispatched formidable experts, intending to reach the Spirit Void Cave Mansion at the earliest moment.
Elsewhere.
Inside a certain Wind Moon Building.
The sound of enticing music lingered on and on.
Several enchanting beauties in sheer veils danced gracefully, their bodies twisting like serpents, surrounding a florid-faced elder in floral attire at the center.
