Chapter 574: Facing directly
A yellow tornado rushed into that spatial crack and directly entered the void.
Originally, the Great Void Restriction set up by the Purple Gold Sect here had some restraining effect on incoming invaders. It could generate numerous independent spaces, separating the intruders from each other. However, since the last activation, the Great Void Restriction had accumulated power for hundreds of years and had depleted most of it. Many of its functions couldn't be activated anymore.
The faint traces left by the Great Void Restriction directly pointed to the small world of the Purple Gold Sect.
True Monarch Vermilion's wisp of soul had previously tried to hide these marks, but over time, his power had gradually diminished, and he could no longer hide all the marks perfectly.
The yellow tornado stretched its body and moved through the air, following the direction indicated by those marks.
The people hiding within the Yellow Sand Ten Thousand Li Chart successfully avoided the potential threats in the void, thanks to the protection of this magic tool.
The tornado formed by the Yellow Sand Ten Thousand Li Chart moved swiftly. It only took half a day to traverse the vast distance in the void and arrive outside the small world of the Purple Gold Sect.
With a strong leap, the yellow tornado crashed into the small world.
Meng Zhang, Gu Yue Huaidie, and Luo Ye Daoist Master, when they left this place last time and returned outside, they shared all their experiences with Jin Li Daoist Master.
Jin Li Daoist Master reported this matter to True Monarch Tian Zhu, waiting for his decision.At that time, True Monarch Tian Zhu's true body was entangled with the Fifth Rank Earth Spirit, and he couldn't free up his hands. His external avatar also had to be on guard against the Qi Family brothers at all times.
Though Purple Gold Sect was a Primordial Spirit sect, it ranked at the bottom among Primordial Spirit sects. It was far from being on par with the Qi Family, a major cultivation family of the Middle-Earth Continent.
Neither the sect's inheritance nor the treasures within the sect were too attractive to True Monarch Tian Zhu and his group.
Among the Primordial Spirit True Monarchs who emerged from the Purple Gold Sect, the strongest was only at the mid Primordial Spirit stage, far inferior to True Monarch Tian Zhu.
If it were a leisurely day, some of the Primordial Spirit True Monarchs gathered around the Endless Sea of Sand might spend some time exploring this small world, playing a treasure-hunting game, to see if they could find valuable items.
However, at this critical moment, when True Monarch Tian Zhu's and the Fifth Rank Earth Spirit's fight was about to reach its climax, each of the Primordial Spirit True Monarchs had their own plans and calculations. They didn't want any additional complications and had no intention of entering the small world of the Purple Gold Sect.
As a result, this small world luckily remained undisturbed, and no one had come to interfere until now.
At this moment, Jin Li Daoist Master, along with a few companions, entered this place, breaking the years of tranquility.
After entering the small world, they jumped out of the Yellow Sand Ten Thousand Li Chart and arrived outside.
Jin Li Daoist Master led everyone, flying towards the place where True Monarch Vermilion's wisp of soul had appeared last time.
True Monarch Tian Zhu was probably at the last stage of his life, and his Spiritual Awareness had become exceptionally sensitive. Even though he wasn't a diviner, he could still perceive some changes in the heavenly secrets.
In the guidance that True Monarch Tian Zhu gave to Jin Li Daoist Master, she must venture into this small world and face True Monarch Vermilion's wisp of soul to have a chance of breaking through to the Primordial Spirit stage.
Within the Cultivation World, there are not few cultivators who have reached the Gold Core completion. Especially in the highly developed Middle-Earth Continent, there are plenty of Gold Core completion cultivators. However, among these cultivators, only a very few manage to successfully break through to the Primordial Spirit stage.
Even those exceptional disciples from Holy Land Sects can't guarantee that they will reach the Primordial Spirit stage. If it weren't for other opportunities, Jin Li Daoist Master also couldn't assure that she could break through to the Primordial Spirit stage.
Therefore, she attached great importance to the guidance provided by True Monarch Tian Zhu, considering it her greatest hope.
Entering the small world of the Purple Gold Sect was not difficult, but the challenge lay in facing True Monarch Vermilion's wisp of soul.
From the information obtained from Meng Zhang and the others, it was clear that True Monarch Vermilion's wisp of soul harbored deep hostility towards any intruders and would almost instantly attack and kill them.
After all, the wisp of soul of a Primordial Spirit True Monarch was not the true body of the Primordial Spirit True Monarch, so its power should be limited. Based on the descriptions from Meng Zhang and others and the subsequent guidance from True Monarch Tian Zhu, Jin Li Daoist Master had some speculations about the strength of this wisp of soul.
This wisp of soul had been dormant within the small world and was unaware of the outside world. It only woke up when Meng Zhang and the others intruded into the small world and learned of the Purple Gold Sect's destruction.
Apparently, before True Monarch Vermilion went to the Deadly Sea of Sand, he had already severed the connection between his true body and the wisp of soul to avoid implicating the wisp of soul.
True Monarch Vermilion's true body had fallen for a long time, and this wisp of soul was no longer under his control, acting solely on instincts and preset criteria.
The small world had thin spiritual energy, lacking even a Third Rank spirit vein, and thus couldn't provide enough spiritual energy for the wisp of soul to absorb.
The Grand Dust World had only a Third Rank spirit vein, and no Fourth Rank spirit vein. For a Primordial Spirit True Monarch to absorb enough spiritual energy, there were only two ways: going to the Nine Heavens to absorb the Nine Heavens Refined Essence or venturing into the extraterritorial void to search for hidden opportunities.
However, this small world didn't have the Nine Heavens, so there was no Nine Heavens Refined Essence. And as a wisp of soul without its true body's control, it didn't have the strength to venture deep into the extraterritorial void to find opportunities.
Since waking up last time, this wisp of soul's power must have been depleting, and it couldn't get enough replenishment. Over time, it would only become weaker and weaker.
If Jin Li Daoist Master had waited for a few more hundred years to enter here, perhaps this wisp of soul would have lost the strength even to take action.
But opportunities like this were fleeting, and Jin Li Daoist Master was afraid of delaying for too long. If she waited too long, this wisp of soul of True Monarch Vermilion might have already dissipated in the flow of time, leaving Jin Li Daoist Master utterly disappointed.
In order to seize the opportunity to break through to the Primordial Spirit stage, facing a wisp of soul was nothing. Even if there were immense risks, Jin Li Daoist Master couldn't retreat.
This time, she took the initiative to come, holding a Fourth Rank magic tool, and had a group of companions to help her, giving her some confidence.
Leading Meng Zhang and the others, Jin Li Daoist Master didn't encounter any obstacles on the way and smoothly arrived at their destination.
The last time, True Monarch Vermilion's wisp of soul had appeared here, displaying its might and driving everyone away.
As they approached the place, they felt an indescribable aura slowly rising around them, as if a dormant beast was rapidly awakening.
Without waiting for them to react further, a huge humanoid shadow appeared out of thin air in front of them.
Simply judging from the aura, it was easy to determine that this humanoid shadow was the target of Jin Li Daoist Master this time.
