Thereafter, he could wield the Five Elements’ power and ultimately used pure Metal energy to rescue his son from peril.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Wuwei’s mother died because of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the truth behind the Grand Void Sect Master’s swallowing of the Five Elements spiritual roots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Later, the Grand Void Sect Master, after completing the Grand Void Great Mystery Scripture, became terrifyingly powerful, slaughtered all his enemies, and founded the Grand Void Gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, the Grand Void Sect Master’s memories held much more—this part concerning the Grand Void Great Mystery Scripture was but a drop in the ocean.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Pingsheng drifted through his memories, observing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After an unknown length of time, the darkness before him suddenly vanished, replaced by light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a daze, He Pingsheng realized he could once again control his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His limbs could move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His spiritual sense was free.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could speak again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He opened his eyes and looked around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the guest seat of the array before him still stood an old man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grand Void!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grand Void remained motionless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I didn’t die?” He Pingsheng shook his hand and said: “Did this old bastard fail his possession attempt and die?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the Grand Void Sect Master’s voice suddenly sounded: “If you haven’t died, how could I die?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You you you you…” He Pingsheng stammered, too astonished to speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Stop saying ‘you you you’…” the Sect Master said: “You were half-right—I didn’t die, but as you said, the possession attempt failed!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good. Now you don’t have to fear me anymore?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Come here!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My spiritual sense is weak—help me sit down!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Pingsheng’s heart was a tangle of emotions—he couldn’t tell whether he hated Grand Void or not!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But since the possession had failed, he was no longer in danger, so He Pingsheng walked over to Grand Void, supported him, led him through the hall’s back door, and sat him beneath his favorite ancient tree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, even now, if Grand Void truly wished to kill him, he couldn’t escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Pingsheng had no choice but to obey his orders!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You have extraordinary fortune!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After sitting down, the old man closed his eyes wearily but kept speaking: “You even obtained the legendary Treasure Gathering Basin! No wonder you cultivate so fast—you’ve been swallowing top-grade elixirs all along!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But I’m puzzled—this Treasure Gathering Basin was clearly inside the Grand Void Gate all these years. Why didn’t any of those fools ever notice it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why did you find it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Pingsheng said: “Perhaps this is my destiny.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Exactly!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Destiny is the most mysterious thing—if you don’t take it, it’ll sit there for a thousand years, sinking into mud, and no one will ever claim it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before He Pingsheng could answer, the Grand Void Sect Master let out a deep breath: “So tired… I just want to sleep.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Pingsheng said: “Then… I’ll keep watch while you rest?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Can’t sleep—no time!” The old man snapped open his eyes, a piercing light shooting from them: “I have only a few hours left… help me up—we must keep going!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There are still important things I haven’t told you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Go!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Grand Void Sect Master had He Pingsheng support him as they walked to the very back of the garden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the end of the spirit plant garden stood a tall artificial mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The artificial mountain was carved from a single massive stone, distinctive in form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Grand Void Sect Master pulled out an iron plaque and tapped it twice; a small door appeared on the otherwise solid rock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Pingsheng stared in shock at the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had passed by here countless times over the years and never knew a door existed here?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Go in!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grand Void led He Pingsheng through the small door, down a sloping path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon they reached a secret chamber!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Pingsheng sensed this was a chamber buried underground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The chamber was small, roughly thirty square meters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>About three meters high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside, there were no special objects—only a stone table and two stone stools.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Along the walls hung a row of pearl lights, so despite being underground, the chamber glowed brightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the stone table rested a golden lamp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lamp was unlit, yet it radiated an ancient, desolate aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In one corner of the chamber stood a three-foot-tall platform, its surface etched with mysterious patterns—he didn’t know what they were.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Grand Void Sect Master sat on one of the stools and said: “Actually, I lied to you all before…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Decades ago, I already knew my fate—how could I possibly have sixty years left?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hehehe… that was a lie.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My life is nearly over.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“After I die, don’t tell anyone—announce to the world that I’m still in seclusion.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That way, you and the Grand Void Gate will have sixty years of peace.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bring me that lamp.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grand Void pointed to the golden lamp on the stone table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Pingsheng had already noticed the lamp; he carefully picked it up and placed it in Grand Void’s hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grand Void’s withered old fingers caressed the golden lamp and said: “Our Grand Void Gate has one enemy—the Beast Taming Sect… both former and current Nascent Soul Elders of the Beast Taming Sect were slain by me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They say cut the grass and remove the roots, cut the grass and remove the roots… sigh…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But I was too merciful—I didn’t kill all their disciples back then. Now two of them have reached Nascent Soul!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They’ve become a tiger and wolf threat to our Grand Void Gate!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They’ve hesitated to strike us only because they fear my existence—hehehe…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The moment my death becomes known, that’s when the Grand Void Gate will be destroyed!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Here, Grand Void asked He Pingsheng: “Do you understand my meaning?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Pingsheng said: “I understand. Don’t worry—I won’t tell anyone.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s not enough!” the Grand Void Sect Master said: “The Beast Taming Immortal Sect possesses a powerful [Aura Gazing] technique. Even if my death is kept secret, once they use this art to gaze upon our Grand Void Gate’s destiny, they’ll know instantly!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Pingsheng frowned: “What can we do?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man said: “Don’t worry—I have a plan.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is the Destiny Golden Lamp.”\u003C\u002Fp>",1250,"2026-06-21T04:08:57.694Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","d10091b5fbe56c7267d69ecc996ba54243c9a1f879d7dc14de80991f6e695bdc","the-treasure-immortal-basin-chapter-164","the-treasure-immortal-basin-chapter-162",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-treasure-immortal-basin-cover.jpg"]
