The world they live in is called the Grand Dust World. It is a vast realm dominated by Daoist cultivators.
Outside the Grand Dust World lies the boundless void. Just as the na implies, the void is nothing but emptiness. Most parts of the void are desolate and devoid of anything. Although ng Zhang was born in the Endless Sea of Sand, which is known for its harsh living conditions within the Grand Dust World, it is still a paradise compared to the void.
Not to ntion the various dangers present in the void, even cultivators at the Refining Qi and Foundation Building stages cannot survive there for an extended period. While Gold Core Daoist Masters can endure longer in the void, they also require a considerable amount of supplies. Moreover, there are other worlds within the void, but they are often separated by great distances. Even a powerful Primordial Spirit True Monarch finds it difficult to travel between them.
If a Gold Core Daoist Master were to enter the void recklessly, the most likely outco would be depleting their supplies and eventually being trapped and dying there.
The Great Void Restriction arranged by the senior mbers of the Purple Gold Sect serves the main purpose of guiding Gold Core Daoist Masters and allowing them to safely reach those small worlds within the void.
It was ng Zhang's first ti entering the void, and although he was well aware of its dangers, he felt quite excited. As he passed through that black hole, the power of the Great Void Restriction caused even groups of cultivators entering together to be forcibly separated and enter the void individually. This disruption not only thwarted so people's plans but also put everyone on an equal starting line.
ng Zhang felt like a child who had just received a new toy, looking around with excitent. Even with his Deception Breaking Eye, which could see far in the darkness, the area within his vision was still empty, a void of nothingness.
After so ti, the novelty wore off, and ng Zhang began to focus on his task. He released his Divine Sense and carefully sensed his surroundings. Cultivators in the Refining Qi stage only have their five senses, but upon entering the Foundation Building stage, they awaken a sixth sense known as divine consciousness. Divine consciousness is intangible and imperceptible.
It is challenging for divine consciousness to directly interfere with reality; most of the ti, it is used for detection. So powerful Foundation Building stage cultivators can use their divine consciousness to influence others' spirits.
Once a cultivator reaches the Gold Core stage, divine consciousness transforms into Divine Sense, also known as ntal power, which can easily manipulate reality. Powerful cultivators with strong Divine Sense can achieve incredible feats without using other thods, relying solely on their ntal power to move mountains.
With the acquisition of Divine Sense, cultivators can potentially perform techniques with just a single thought. When the Divine Sense fuses with true qi at the Gold Core stage, it generates a formidable force called True Essence. True Essence not only possesses higher quality and strength than true qi but also has its own spiritual nature, resembling a living creature.
For Gold Core stage cultivators, the primary cultivation task is to convert all their true qi into the higher-level True Essence. ng Zhang has a solid foundation and a powerful divine consciousness, which forms the core, although not for a long ti. Still, his Divine Sense is potent, with a broad range of perception.
Compared to divine consciousness, the feeling of Divine Sense is more acute and subtle. In places invisible to the naked eye, ng Zhang's Divine Sense clearly senses the presence of so kind of intangible markers, resembling signposts in the void.
As Jin Li, the female Daoist Master, had advised beforehand, ng Zhang knew that these markers were created by the Great Void Restriction to guide future generations. Following the directions of these markers, ng Zhang flew directly ahead.
After flying a considerable distance and leaving the range of the previous marker's guidance, ng Zhang once again released his Divine Sense to explore and discovered a new invisible marker. He continued his flight following the guidance of this new marker.
The Purple Gold Sect set up this Great Void Restriction to provide a safe path for future generations to reach that small world. This path had been extensively explored by the senior mbers of the Purple Gold Sect and was relatively free from the common dangers of the void. With these markers' guidance, Gold Core Daoist Masters would have a clear direction and wouldn't get lost in the vast void.
Of course, for cultivators with extensive Divine Ability, they could choose not to follow the markers left by the Purple Gold Sect. They could freely search the void and find that small world, but how much ti it would take and what dangers they might encounter remained unknown.
After flying a distance, ng Zhang felt sothing was off. Throughout the journey, he had a peculiar feeling, but he couldn't pinpoint exactly what it was. As a Gold Core Daoist Master and a Diviner, ng Zhang attached great importance to these inexplicable feelings. Even though it might be just a whim or no sense of danger, he decided to pause for a mont and carefully observe his surroundings.
ng Zhang had been flying in the void following the markers for quite so ti. Although he was part of the second group to enter the void and didn't know that other Gold Core Daoist Masters had arrived later, he couldn't see any trace of Fei Jiang, Fei Yu, Gu Yue Huaidie, or Luo Ye Daoist Masters, who had entered with him.
Fei Jiang and Fei Yu could have moved ahead and left him behind, but even so, they should have t up under the guidance of the markers. As for Gu Yue Huaidie and Luo Ye, they entered together, and even if they were temporarily separated, they should have reunited by now. ng Zhang's delay shouldn't have made it impossible for him to find their traces.
ng Zhang activated his Divine Sense and carefully investigated the surroundings, but he didn't find anything unusual. Then he used his Deception Breaking Eye to gaze into the distance, and the void stretched endlessly in all directions. He strained his eyes, but there was nothing to be seen except an empty void.
Feeling hesitant for a mont, ng Zhang decided to trust his instincts. Standing still for a while, he suddenly drew his sword. He wielded the Fierce Yang Sword, but it had no effect on the void ahead. He then summoned the Shadow Killing Sword, and it pierced through the void in all directions, but likewise, it had no impact.
ng Zhang put away the two Third Rank flying swords and carefully took out the Spiritsnake Spear. This spiritual weapon was severely damaged, and although he had tried to repair it, its power was far from its pri. Before entering the void, ng Zhang had made up his mind to use the Spiritsnake Spear as sparingly as possible and only if necessary, to avoid excessive depletion of this precious spiritual weapon. However, unexpectedly, he had to use it even before encountering any enemies in the void.
The Spiritsnake Spear truly lived up to its reputation as the top-tier spiritual weapon passed down from Taiyi Sect's ancestors. As soon as ng Zhang took it out, before he even started using it, the Spiritsnake Spear automatically responded to sothing in the surroundings.
