Entering the Cave Heaven was like stepping into a small world.
A single sun hung high in the sky, though it was not a real sun but a profound spell—a technique that almost any powerful cultivator capable of creating a Dongfu could master.
Upon reaching the Nascent Soul Realm, a cultivator could open their own Dongfu, though they were typically small.
After reaching the Soul Formation Realm, these spaces expanded significantly, becoming comparable in size to a city.
Once a cultivator attained the Heavenly Unity Stage, the space would undergo a massive expansion once more.
As far as the eye could see, a mountain range stretched out before them.
With Qin Mu’s current vision, he could not see the end of it.
However, with the Nascent Soul Realm strength of Qin Ruoshuang and Qin Mengyu, they were able to perceive the spatial walls at the edges after a brief moment of mental focus.
This was, after all, only the Cave Heaven of a Heavenly Unity Stage cultivator.
If it had belonged to a powerhouse of the Tribulation Stage, it would be vastly larger—not to mention the Great Ascension Realm, where cultivators could open an entire Little World.
“How strange,” Qin Mengyu whispered, her brow furrowing slightly.
She felt the surrounding Spirit Energy and noticed that it was not thin like the other cave heavens she had visited before.
Instead, the energy here was quite abundant.
Usually, after the master of a Cave Heaven died, the spatial tunnel would close off from the outside world.
Over time, the Spirit Energy within would gradually deplete.
“Miss Mengyu, is something wrong?”
Qin Mu noticed the strange look on her face.
‘My luck would be way too bad if something went wrong as soon as we arrived.’
“It is nothing. Let us go.”
Qin Mengyu took hold of Mu’er and transformed into a streak of light, flying into the distance.
Behind them, Qin Ruoshuang glanced in a certain direction.
After staring for a moment, her lithe body twisted, and she turned into a ray of light to follow her sister.
As expected of those in the Nascent Soul Realm, their speed was incredibly fast.
They reached the front of the crowd in an instant.
There stood a palace, massive and grand.
The entire structure was a deep green color that seemed to blend perfectly with the verdant mountain range when viewed from afar.
With a soft whoosh, the figures of Qin Ruoshuang and Qin Mengyu descended.
Five figures were already standing there.
“Oh? I did not expect a few juniors to show up this time.”
Those present were all scattered cultivators.
None of them had seen Qin Ruoshuang or Qin Mengyu in person before.
Furthermore, the two sisters were wearing veils and were not dressed in the robes of the Seven Star Sect, so they were not recognized.
The speaker was a youth who looked like a scholar.
Beside the youth stood a burly man with bulging muscles and a thick, powerful aura.
He appeared to be a martial artist.
The burly man glanced at the trio and sneered.
“Heh! You two little lasses actually brought a boy at the Qi Refining Stage along? What, are you trying to get him killed?”
Based on the strength of those present, everyone was in the Nascent Soul Realm—except for Qin Mu.
Qin Ruoshuang and Qin Mengyu glanced at the man, but neither of them spoke.
Since his sisters were staying silent, Qin Mu remained quiet as well, silently observing the group.
“Good! Very good! Truly arrogant!”
In his daily life, no one dared to ignore the burly man like this.
Combined with his fiery temper, his anger flared instantly.
“Today, I will teach you two little lasses the meaning of respecting your seniors!”
The burly man raised his fist, his blood energy swelling as he let out a furious roar.
“Mountain Breaker!”
A massive phantom of a fist shot straight toward Qin Mu.
Facing this punch, Qin Mu’s legs nearly gave way.
There was nothing he could do; the gap in strength was simply too vast.
The fact that he could remain standing instead of falling back onto his rear already made him more capable than most cultivators at the Qi Refining Stage.
Qin Ruoshuang took a step forward, and the pressure on Qin Mu vanished instantly.
Seeing Qin Ruoshuang step up, the burly man did not hold back his strength at all.
He was determined to make these two juniors suffer today.
The other four did not stop him, as they also wanted to see what these two girls were capable of.
Qin Ruoshuang’s beautiful eyes fixed on the fist phantom.
She pressed her two fingers together, and a sharp Sword Intent erupted instantly.
A light flashed at her fingertips as the Sword Intent shot forth.
Boom!
The fist phantom and the Sword Intent collided, and the phantom shattered instantly upon contact.
The sharp Sword Intent expanded in the burly man’s eyes.
He did not sit still and wait for death; after all, he had reached his current level through countless life-and-death battles.
Scales surfaced on his skin as he threw another punch, meeting Qin Ruoshuang’s Sword Intent head-on.
Boom!
Dust flew everywhere as the violent blood energy and Sword Intent ravaged the surroundings.
When the dust finally settled and the scene became clear, the other four spectators widened their eyes in disbelief.
The burly man no longer looked like his former self.
His hair was a mess, and his body was covered in wounds that looked like countless sword slashes.
The arm he had used to clash with the Sword Intent hung limp at his side.
It was clear that his meridians were completely shattered.
The four onlookers never imagined that such a young girl could beat the man into such a state with just a single move.
“Cough! Cough!”
The burly man spat out a mouthful of blood and looked at Qin Ruoshuang.
The contempt in his eyes had vanished, replaced by sheer shock.
“The Great Circle of the Nascent Soul Realm! How is that possible?!”
To reach the Nascent Soul Realm within one hundred years was already considered impressive.
To do so in fifty years marked a genius seen only once in a thousand years.
And yet, this girl was not just in the Nascent Soul Realm; she was only one step away from the Soul Formation Realm!
The other four were equally stunned by the man’s words.
In the entire Eastern Region, the only ones with such talent would likely be the Qin family sisters of the Seven Star Sect.
Could it be…?
The five of them reached the same conclusion simultaneously.
They looked at the two girls again.
The one who had just attacked was a sword cultivator.
The elder of the Qin family sisters, Qin Ruoshuang, was a known sword cultivator.
The scholar-like youth bowed deeply to the trio.
“I did not realize we would encounter Your Highnesses the Holy Maidens here. This is truly a great honor.”
The two women neither accepted the greeting nor refuted it.
Although the youth could not be one hundred percent certain they were the Qin family sisters, he did not dare deny the possibility.
Since they did not object, he took it as a confirmation.
Seeing that they had established their authority, Qin Mengyu finally spoke.
“The three of us are only here to explore. If we encounter any treasures, you are free to take your pick.”
For them, they not only had the resources of the Seven Star Sect but also the backing of Aunt Lu and Yan’er Aunt—two Great Powers at the Tribulation Stage.
With those two factors alone, they wouldn’t even look twice at most things in a Heavenly Unity Stage Dongfu.
Of course, if a truly rare treasure appeared, the five people present would not pose a threat to the sisters.
“Haha, then we thank Your Highness the Holy Maiden.”
As scattered cultivators, their resources were naturally scarce.
Qin Mengyu’s words undoubtedly meant they would be able to claim more treasures for themselves.
“Since Your Highnesses are here, I humbly request that you join us in breaking the Restriction on this gate.”
The reason the five of them were gathered at the entrance was to break the Restriction on the door.
Despite the passage of countless years, which had weakened the spell, it was still a mark left by a Heavenly Unity Stage expert.
With their Nascent Soul Realm strength, it would take a long time to break it alone.
If more people discovered this palace later, the chances of breaking the gate would increase, but it would also mean fewer treasures for each person.
When there were too many people, a bloody slaughter was often inevitable.
Whether they were scattered cultivators or members of a Major Sect, who didn’t cherish their own life?
Aside from those extremely saint-like individuals, but they were the exceptions.
