Thunderous Collision World's unclaimed territory, desolate mountain range.
Five figures were swiftly blazing through the skies as trails of lights.
Under Pao's guidance, it wasn't long before their group made it to the resources cave.
Nobody interrupted them along the way. Their backing consisted of one Great Divine Sea warrior and several 2ndfall Divine Origin experts.
When other groups sensed them, none bothered to have even the slightest of thoughts. Causing troubles simply wasn't worth it.
As they arrived just hundreds of meters from the resources cave, Huang Dai and Xun took in its particular sight.
The resources cave wasn't overly large or wide, being just slightly smaller than some taverns on the desolate mountain range.
But its designs were undoubtedly eye-catching. Planting all across the cave's exterior was crystalline blue pellets that all sparkled with an abundant flow of energy.
From even meters away, anyone could see blue sparks radiating in the atmosphere.
Furthermore, Huang Dai and Xun could detect its potent medicine aura at a considerable distance away.
They inwardly praised the cave while also feeling surges of anticipation. They could just tell it was a good move in coming here.
Although, at the cave entrance, Huang Dai and Xun promptly spotted a problem.
A tall, robust man stood imposingly in front of the entrance, his aura utterly suffocating.
The robust man donned bright blue robes that had beast insignias inscribed all over them. This, combined with his daunting looks, made for a profound first impression.
In the space before the cave, it didn't matter who it was, smaller-scale forces or lone group forces; they all showed absolute respect to this man.
After all, this man was a Divine Star expert!
At that level of cultivation, no ordinary Divine Origin or Great Divine Sea cultivation would even think of carelessly offending him.
Moreover, his background was equally terrifying, calling for obedience towards the smaller-scale forces here.
Huang Dai and Xun witnessed multiple groups politely walking towards the man, exchanging respectful greetings before pulling out a spatial sack.
When paying, the Divine Star expert didn't make it difficult, allowing for the groups to go into the resources cave.
The Dragon siblings weren't surprised at all. Extorting resources would always come when one has greater strength.
Suddenly, Pao came to a stop, prompting the others to stop dead in their tracks.
Pao's expression slightly creased as Divine Sense perceived slightly worrisome news.
Before anyone could ask, he slowly said, "To think we haven't been gone for so long, and yet the Lightning Beast Sect is becoming even more greedy. Last time it was 20 Mid grade sun crystal beads for groups entries. Now, it's a hundred!"
"So many??" Zhou, Ning, Huang Dai, and Xun were shocked.
The Dragon siblings especially were since they knew the exact value of Mid-grade sun crystal beads.
This was indeed a steep price. A 100 Mid-grade sun crystal beads have the value of 10,000 low-grade sun crystal beads!
For even Great Divine Sea warriors, this was a sum they couldn't so lightly toss around.
Even Pao was initially a bit worrying over this price. However, the next moment, his eyes flashed with determination.
His mind cleared up, smiling as he said, "This indeed is a shocking change but nothing too great. Within this cave, through some danger, we can gain some great resources and far more sun crystal beads. Still, to get through the entrance fee, I'm sure Sir Long and Miss Lin are also willing to help make up for the lost, right?"
It was subtle, but Pao, Zhou, and Ning all had their attention on the Dragon siblings' reaction.
With their superior might, they believed these two would act according. And if not, it wouldn't be hard to persuade them at all.
Inwardly, Huang Dai and Xun scoffed. They both weren't unfamiliar with slightly scheming interactions like this. Dealing with their ambitious Royal siblings for so long would rapidly develop their mindset.
Still, it didn't matter much to either Dai or Xun. They were mainly here for experience in the first place. And if they did see a treasure they must have, they could easily escape unscathed.
Thus, Huang Dai and Xun calmly nodded, Xun saying, "It is no problem for us."
Her words caused Pao, Zhou, and Ning to faintly smile.
"Good! Understandable people truly get along well."
As Pao spoke, Huang Dai and Xun only lightly regarded him before their attention was snapped away.
Nearly on pure instinct, Dai and Xun shot their eyes to the cave's entrance, noticing a peculiar pair walking up.
These two were actually dressed similarly to the dragon siblings.
They both wore dark orange robes and oversized hoodies that mysteriously covered their entire figures. Furthermore, they both only exuded a pure Divine Aura, giving nothing away.
Although, comparatively, these two hooded people outclass the Dragon siblings in terms of purely cultivation realm.
The shorter one of the two was a 3rdfall Divine Origin expert. While the taller one is a Great Divine Sea expert!
And he wasn't like Pao, an unstable Great Divine Sea warrior. This person had a genuine strong foundation. His aura was firm, akin to a stable stone.
Naturally, with so many lone or group cultivators in this desolate mountain range, there are bound to be experts like these two.
But what caught Huang Dai and Xun's attention wasn't solely their Divine auras. It was the fact their Divine Senses nearly detected a vague familiar sensation to them.
On their cultivation journey, Huang Dai and Xun took extensive time to train in the ways of the Spiritual Sea.
Compared to regular Martial cultivators, their Divine Sense has a more accurate time in identifying familiar sensations in their Spiritual Sea.
This came from repeated experiences of studying numerous lifeforms auras, from other Huang Dragons, humans, intelligent beasts, or simple vicious beasts.
Towards something they marked as important, they specifically engraved that aura's sensation into their Spiritual Sea.
And for naturally cautious people like Huang Dai and Xun, they took notice of that barely familiar sensation.
When their gazes had lingered, it was as if the two hoodie people could similarly sense them.
The hooded people briefly tossed a look at the Dragon siblings, lingering their gaze for all but a moment.
And when their Divine Senses did a simple sweep over the Dragon siblings, the hooded people snapped their attention back on the Divine Star expert.
The taller hooded person paid for the fee before swiftly entering inside.
"Come on, let's go." Pao didn't notice the Dragon siblings' sudden attention at all.
When the hooded people went in, Pao's group swiftly took the lead, reaching the Divine Star expert before anyone else.
Wordlessly, Pao ignited his spatial ring, taking out a spatial sack that contained 100 mid-grade sun crystal beads.
The Lightning Beast Sect guard didn't make anything difficult for them since he sensed their auras, and they paid for the fee without any hassle.
He silently stepped to the side, his gaze entirely indifferent.
Quickly going into the cave, Pao's group suddenly felt the power of space twist all around them.
A moment later, Huang Xun and Dai blinked their eyes, seeing that they ended up in another location.
Through a small space formation in front of the cave, the Dragon siblings ended up in an immensely massive cavern.
Sweeping a quick gaze over the tavern while spreading their Divine Sense, the Dragon siblings estimated for this separate space to be at most hundreds of miles long.
The size was smaller than the outside world, but the environment here was far more potent.
The Divine Essence of Heaven and Earth here has been fermented for dozen years, producing resources that only amplified its Divine atmosphere.
Because it is a separate space, the Source Laws governing it would be wildly different.
For special areas like resources cave, it wouldn't be on the same level as quasi or completed mystic realms.
Those realms have direct ties to the Source Laws of the Heavenly Dao.
Still, the accumulation here is far more concentrated, producing various incredible effects that can tempt even high and mighty Divine Rulers.
The cavern interior was similar to what they saw on the outside. Crystal, luminous blue pellets lit up the space like a beautiful moon.
There were numerous split roads heading deep into the cavern and large holes leading to other areas.
Groups of Martial cultivators and even the rare World Spirit Masters were roaming the tavern, each of them on tight guard against one another.
The most interesting sight came from hundreds of meters in front of them.
'Look over there. Those Lightning Beast Sect people sure are making a good showcase.' Huang Dai's voice transmitted into Xun's mind.
And indeed, towards the center of the tavern, four Lightning Beast Sect experts tightly guarded one large opening.
Three of them were Extreme Great Divine Sea warriors. While the middle one was another Divine Star expert.
Both Huang Dai and Xun inwardly noted this. Only Holy Lands on the same as the Moon Ocean Palace could suppress them. In this desolate mountain range, they genuinely have some skills.
At this moment, Pao had suddenly brought out a red-colored compass.
Huang Dai and Xun instantly swept their Divine Senses over the compass, detecting a good mass of unique Spirit energy exuding from it.
Sensing their questions, Pao transmitted into their minds, 'My other friends and I paid a hefty price for this Spiritual compass. With this, we will have an easier time sensing treasures on the lines of cultivation resources or medicinal herbs.'
Huang Dai and Xun felt some surprise that such average cultivators got their hands on a good treasure but didn't say anything back.
Pao took only a moment to activate the compass, interjecting it with Divine Qi, causing it to glow a faint Spiritual red shine.
Various sensations slowly transmitted into Pao's Spiritual Sea. With his experience, Pao was able to gradually dissect the most potent sensation.
His gaze snapped on towards one road, and he calmly nodded.
"This way."
At his words, Pao led the group on this road.
Each of them was carefully walking at a moderate pace, similarly having their guards up.
The most common thing that will attack would be wild, vicious beasts. Towards any intelligent lifeforms, these vicious beasts relentlessly target them, treating them as their prey.
But along with vicious beasts were the threats of other Martial cultivator groups.
Since everyone here was banded together in a group, the chances of getting ambushed were low but not improbable.
If an opportunity arose, lone forces groups would take the risk of attacking others to add to their gains.
The groups less likely to get ambushed are the ones who come from decent enough backgrounds.
Everyone's here for benefits, so why would they waste their time uselessly offending powerful backgrounds?
The only ones who are very likely to get attacked are the two-man groups or lone Martial cultivators.
Those people would have a certain amount of confidence coming here without a large group. But at the same time, the numerical advantage has a far higher chance of ultimately winning.
For Pao's group, they were actually getting quite lucky on their travels. There weren't any other Martial cultivators groups on their path. And there was a severe lack of vicious beasts.
In this kind of situation, Huang Dai and Xun were a bit glad.
The worse that could happen is getting ambushed after expending energy over one or several powerful vicious beasts.
Soon enough, after taking numerous twists and turns on this road, Pao's group entered into one big opening.
They walked into a dead-end, but within this area made, Pao's group's eyes brightly lit up.
