I’ll hand over what you’re owed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying this, Wu Wei led the purple-robed cultivator away. Before leaving, he shot He Pingsheng a venomous glance: “Kid, don’t even think about running—I’m a Great Jin Dan. I’ll catch you in an instant!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Watch him. Don’t let him leave Grand Void Gate!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Wei gave Jian Zhu a commanding look, then departed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Jian Zhu was furious, she did indeed stay behind to guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as long as He Pingsheng didn’t leave Grand Void Gate, she paid him no mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master Yu Xuan…” He Pingsheng approached Yu Xuan and whispered: “Listen to me—the Beast Taming Sect will arrive within half an hour. We can’t stay here!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My master has gone to Mount Matou Market. Go there immediately, find her, and tell her not to come back, not to come back, not to come back…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Also, take my sister Zhao Linger, Tian Xiaoqing, and my brother Xu Kunlun with you—get every disciple you can out of here!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Otherwise, it’ll be a disaster!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Xuan didn’t understand the full depth of it, but he trusted He Pingsheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since He Pingsheng said it, he did it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Yu Xuan left, Chong Yang also hurried away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the entire Jade Dragon Peak’s plaza, only He Pingsheng and Jian Zhu remained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jian Zhu looked at him and said: “Little brother, hand over your master’s legacy. I’ll let you go—and protect you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Big Brother won’t kill you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Pingsheng shook his head: “What legacy?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying this, he turned and walked toward the spiritual herb garden behind the former Grand Void Palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Grand Void Ancestor had once warned He Pingsheng: if the golden lamp ever went out unexpectedly, flee immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Do not hesitate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since he couldn’t leave Grand Void Gate under Jian Zhu’s watch, his only option was the teleportation array.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In truth, Grand Void Gate was vast, and guarded by a Grade-Four defensive array—the Mountain Protecting Array.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once activated, led by a Jin Dan cultivator, it could expand to its maximum state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if a Nascent Soul cultivator attacked, Grand Void Gate might still hold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under normal circumstances, He Pingsheng wouldn’t have considered fleeing first—but Grand Void Gate was rotten to the core, its morale beyond repair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his later years, the Grand Void Ancestor ignored all affairs; his disciples hoarded resources, turning into greedy monsters. From top to bottom, no one cared for the lower disciples. Their cultivation resources were cut off; each day, they schemed to squeeze even the lowest disciples, constantly searching them for any chance of fortune.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Pingsheng himself had been searched countless times like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was rotten.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grand Void Gate had rotted down to its roots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Organizing resistance against a Nascent Soul cultivator from the Beast Taming Sect would be like an egg hitting a rock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And there was Wu Wei—a madman. Could he possibly resist?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Resist? Pfft!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Pingsheng saw the situation clearly—he chose to flee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no second path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before leaving, one task remained: gather supplies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Grand Void Ancestor had prepared many supplies for him, all stored in the left annex.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elixirs for growth from Foundation Establishment to before Nascent Soul were all there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would be best to take them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Pingsheng took his token and headed for the left annex to collect the supplies—when he looked up and saw a red light streaking across the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The streak wasn’t anyone else—it was Wu Wei, a Jin Dan cultivator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Wei was now insane, utterly irrational.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Pingsheng’s mind spun rapidly: there was no time to retrieve the elixirs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elixirs were valuable, but not essential—I have the Treasure Basin, what do I fear?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Wu Wei caught me, that would be terrifying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Run…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No hesitation—leave now!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Little brother…” Jian Zhu said. “Where are you rushing off to?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Pingsheng replied: “I’m paying respects to my master. Will you come with me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without waiting for Jian Zhu, he leapt to the rock formation behind the herb garden, pulled out his token, and tapped the rock. A hidden entrance appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Pingsheng didn’t hesitate—he shot into the passage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You—” Jian Zhu finally grew alarmed, but feared He Pingsheng might be setting a trap inside, so she hesitated to follow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After several breaths of hesitation, the flying light from the sky landed before her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn it… how is there a secret chamber here?” Wu Wei had clearly seen He Pingsheng enter the chamber mid-flight. Now he snarled: “That old bastard didn’t even tell me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He Pingsheng… when you come out, you’re dead!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But no sooner had Wu Wei spoken than a cylindrical pillar of pale-green light erupted from the ground in one corner of the herb garden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The massive pillar pulsed with immense energy; the surrounding earth trembled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jian Zhu said: “That’s… a teleportation array—and a long-range one at that!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Correct. He Pingsheng had activated the teleportation array.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn it… how is there a teleportation array here?” Wu Wei cursed as he rushed into the dark chamber.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind him, Jian Zhu followed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Entering the black void, twisting through several passages, they finally reached the chamber containing the teleportation array.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the chamber stood a small tomb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the Grand Void Ancestor’s burial site.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The old bastard’s really dead!” Wu Wei glanced at the tomb and its stele, then hurried past it toward the teleportation platform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the platform, He Pingsheng was already gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jian Zhu said: “Teleport immediately—we might still catch him!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Wei replied: “No. Once he teleports, he’ll destroy the receiving array. Then we won’t know where we’ll end up!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Barging through blindly is just a waste of time!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s how teleportation arrays worked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had two platforms: a sending platform and a receiving platform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Normally, you sent from the sending platform and emerged from the receiving platform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what if an array had only a sending platform?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simple: it still worked—you could still be teleported out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But without direction!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That meant, within range, it randomly sent you in any direction: up, down, left, right, east, west, north, south—on the ground, in the sky, or underground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you were unlucky and sent ten thousand li deep underground, even a Nascent Soul cultivator couldn’t survive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unless you mastered earth-penetrating techniques.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And indeed, as Wu Wei predicted, He Pingsheng had destroyed the receiving array the moment he escaped.\u003C\u002Fp>",1248,"2026-06-21T04:08:57.694Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","12f5a058bb11329695ab5b69e2ab99a04f6d01c9f2dc100bf7bf15f7a748f754","the-treasure-immortal-basin-chapter-175","the-treasure-immortal-basin-chapter-173",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-treasure-immortal-basin-cover.jpg"]
