The resources left behind by the Kuang Quan Sect were converted to spirit stones, amounting to a whopping 300,000. It genuinely astonished Logan and his companion, as a small sect situated in barren lands could accumulate so much.

After discussing, 200,000 spirit stones were given to the canyon residents so they could earn a living in other territories. Each person would get twenty spirit stones on average, which could be used for traveling or doing small business.

As for Logan and his companion, they collected various spirit herbs and elixirs. These items provided benefits for cultivation, so the duo considered it their small reward for their efforts.

They continued on their way as Logan planned to visit famous secret realms for greater opportunities. However, Ba Ke Yun had different ideas. The nearby secret realms had long been divided among local lords, leaving little good stuff.

Ba Ke Yun thought for a moment and said, “I know of a mountain range nearby that stretches for nearly a thousand miles. It’s a land without an owner and filled with great opportunities. Many sects send their disciples to train there. We can do the same, and even if we don’t get an opportunity, we can still fight demonic beasts.”

“Alright, I’ll follow your lead.” Logan didn’t object, and the two set off. Instead of walking, they rented an Exotic Beast Carriage, as the Longxun Mountain Range was a hundred miles away.

Although both had considerable strength, it would still take them a day and a half to reach their destination on foot. Riding the Exotic Beast Carriage would take the same amount of time, but it would be more comfortable.

However, along the way, they noticed something unusual. Many people were converging from different directions, all headed towards the Longxun Mountain Range. They were puzzled, as never before had there been such a large-scale gathering.

Generally, only a few large families would send people since it was too dangerous for anyone below an Upper-level Transcendent or King Tier rank. Ordinary cultivators wouldn’t dare to go.

Asking around yielded nothing but disdainful glances. The fellow travelers were arrogant, and none answered their questions. Even when Ba Ke Yun offered spirit stones as a reward, no one was moved. The people around them were either rich or noble, and naturally did not value precious stones much.

After a while, Logan spotted an ordinary and even shabby carriage. The driver was a simple-looking man who seemed to share their destination. Logan approached and started chatting amiably.

Once they were acquainted, Logan asked, “Where are all these people going? It seems like every one of them is from a powerful family. It’s a rare sight. Can you clarify what’s going on? I’m genuinely curious.”

“You don’t know?” The man gave Logan a glance, assuming he was also headed where they were. He didn’t know it was only a coincidence. As Logan didn’t know, the man began to explain.

“Near the Longxun Mountain Range, a Sanctuary Powerhouse has suddenly appeared. Sanctuary Powerhouses have not emerged for hundreds of years, and their appearance caused a sensation. This Sanctuary Powerhouse is nearing the end of their life and has decided to accept a final disciple before their death.”

“Their only requirement is that they be under a hundred years old. Almost anyone can give it a try, and there are few restrictions on the cultivation level. As soon as the news spread, it caused a huge uproar, and all the renowned families in the region sent their strongest young members to try for the opportunity.”

“This is just the beginning. Once ordinary people learn of this, tens of thousands will probably rush to the Long Patrol Mountain Range. After all, becoming a disciple of a Sanctuary Powerhouse means one will ascend to the heavens in a single step. At the very least, they will become a Dominator in the future.”

“So that’s what’s happening!” Logan nodded in sudden realization, his interest piqued. He couldn’t pass up the chance offered by a Sanctuary Powerhouse. Since he had come to this ancient duplicate world, he had never seen a living Sanctuary Powerhouse and wished to catch a glimpse of one.

Ba Ke Yun smiled bitterly and sighed, “Sanctuary Powerhouses haven’t appeared in hundreds of years, and it’s rumored that none are left. Everyone thought Dominators were the most powerful, but there are indeed Sanctuary Powerhouses still alive, The odds of obtaining this opportunity, however, are slim to none.”

Ba Ke Yun understood that probably more than a hundred thousand people would compete for the spot, including various powerful individuals and monsters. The odds of them succeeding were minuscule, and they might as well not even try.

“That’s not necessarily true. Even if the odds are one in ten thousand, even if we end up empty-handed, getting the chance to witness a Sanctuary Powerhouse is an opportunity in itself. We might even glean some insights into the grand Dao and laws.”

The sturdy man glanced at Ba Ke Yun disdainfully. Even if they didn’t become a disciple, having the fortune to receive a few words of guidance would be something of great luck, wouldn’t it? And when it comes to cultivation, one should never underestimate oneself. If the Sanctuary Powerhouse merely sought the strongest, wouldn’t they choose a Dominator as a disciple?

Logan smiled faintly and said, “That’s right. Competing with countless geniuses is an opportunity in itself. Even if we don’t come out on top in the end, the experience we gain from this competition will be invaluable for our cultivation.”

“Maybe so, but I can’t help but feel that there’s something suspicious about it. A dying Sanctuary Powerhouse seeking an inheritor in such a hurry is understandable. But making such a big fuss… is it really that simple?”

Ba Ke Yun shook his head. What if the whole thing was a setup? Of course, he had no evidence, but he knew one thing from his life being constantly pursued – there were no kind-hearted people in this world.

“True or false, good or bad, we’ll find out once we have a look. If it’s a conspiracy, wouldn’t that actually be more interesting?”

Logan didn’t care. Although he was only a Middle-level Transcendent, Zhang Li’s strength could rival a typical Dominator. They had enough self-preservation power to keep going. Not experiencing such an event would be a pity. Opportunities had to be fought for, and if it was a matter of life and death, they would strive to be that lucky survivor.

The burly man laughed heartily and sped up the carriage, “My young friends, I’ll go first. We can catch up when we reach our destination. If I’m late and the opportunity is taken, I’ll lose out big time.”

As the man left, Logan watched him with a profound gaze. “That man isn’t simple. He seems friendly on the surface, but he’s actually a Complete King Seat. Who’s sitting inside the carriage is also a mystery.”

Logan’s perception was astonishing. The man had enjoyed their conversation and planned to continue chatting, but when a trace of spiritual fluctuations emanated from within the carriage, he sped up and left them behind.
