The space of solitude is completely different from a space shared by three people, the gains might be greater, but the difficulty increases exponentially.

Spiritual energy is everywhere, and even more, it's mixed together, creating a massive obstacle for the three to recover it. While receiving, they must first discern, then refine, and finally absorb.

To absorb someone else's foreign spiritual energy means you might be manipulated or influenced by them to some extent, and it might surface at an inopportune moment to cause trouble...

How can it be tolerated when the enemy resides in your Sea Of Consciousness?

The process is grueling, but all three are people of great resolve who will not easily give up, nor call a truce. There are many ways for cultivators to determine superiority, each process is different, yet equally deadly.

Moreover, the final person to succeed will undoubtedly reap the greatest benefits in Altar Cave Heaven, win the favor of the Cave Spirit, and achieve the highest enhancement of spiritual power.

Therefore, each sits cross-legged focusing on controlling their own spiritual energy, never resorting to petty tactics, for the losses outweigh the gains.

Outside, sneaky attacks or underhanded tricks are common, but here, the Cave Spirit controls everything in the Altar Space, all their actions are visible, making further mischief would only lose points with the Cave Spirit, why bother?

Though the three haven't communicated, they've tacitly reached an understanding.

Jue Mingzi is confident, the Three Pure Daoist line is second to none at biding time; on Jinxiu Continent he dares not boast because of the presence of Zhi Xuan, Tianfeng, and Rong Guang, but who are these two?

A barbaric Sword Cultivator, a mad Heartless Daoist, how could they possibly match the spiritual level of the Three Pure Daoist?

Lao Du is aware, he is the only one among the three with experience in the Seventh Space, having entered the Altar Cave Heaven for the third time, immensely knowledgeable, far superior to the two novices.

Hou Niao is indifferent, this is his first time, the Daoist foundation is weaker, but his Sword Light Division is best suited for such spiritual disintegration and integration, decades of daily spiritual disassembly with the sword make him extremely familiar and confident in handling spiritual division.

With the contention among the three, the struggle in the Cave Heaven has become a seesaw battle, and the internal upheaval in the Altar has started to quiet down, those who can't ascend simply can't, and those meant to have already ascended.

Dozens of cultivators from Lian Sect and Wu Sect, with differing casualties; the twenty-seven Golden Core cultivators of Heartless Dao suffered significant losses due to lack of preparation, over half perished; Wu Sect came prepared, and targeted, losing only a few Daoists, but are now mostly trapped in their respective Altar Spaces, facing spiritual tests.

Time sank into silence, even if outside was already in a frenzy.

...Lotus Mountain is in a state of panic, they seem to be aware of the underlying issue, yet have no way to respond, with their most knowledgeable, Lao Du, trapped inside the Cave Heaven, there's no one to consult; hastily studying the Space Great Dao takes years, if not centuries, to see results, doesn't it?

Langya Mountain fares no better, a well-planned action meant to yield results in a few months, has dragged on for years, the fate of Wu Sect cultivators inside uncertain, communication severed, those inside can't come out, those outside can't get in.

Dushan is different though, the Sect Hierarch once again recklessly dived into an unpredictable danger, not for the first time, everyone is used to it; and Aunt Nineteen said, the Sect Hierarch is fine...

The entrapment of powerful figures from three influential Daoist sects is not a secret that can be kept long, eventually, in a few years, the news gradually spreads, ultimately becoming common knowledge.

The best outcome is for those troublemakers to all perish inside, that's the wish of most, but it can't be spoken aloud, so only concern is shown, with expressed willingness to offer help.

Actually, these worries are unnecessary, the Altar Cave Heaven opens once every ten years, meaning a decade later, the truth will be revealed no matter what happened, ten years after opening, these individuals will come out, and the truth will naturally emerge.

After the human-demon war, the Cultivation World on the Continent entered a rare period of peace, everyone is waiting for something, waiting also on the outcome of the Altar Cave Heaven, to see if any opportunity arises.

During this time, a myth started to captivate the Continent, spreading in the Mortal Cultivation World, becoming a popular tale, gradually forming a trend in the human world.

It's unclear if someone is behind this push, or if it was the Heavenly Heart Pavilion's deliberate promotion to maintain their status in the Cultivation World, perhaps it's about their laughable Sealing of the Infant list?

Most cultivators dismiss it as nonsense, without logic, fanciful, completely contradicting the common sense of the Cultivation World, mere babble from storytellers to please mortals.

Yet a minute few with real insight pay close attention to the truth behind this story, such as a few Daoists from the Three Pure lineage.

During this period, a few Upper Realm envoys inexplicably met their demise, ambushed, almost as though confirming something, but due to lack of evidence, the matters ended inconclusively.

However, the myth of the Investiture of the Gods fully spread after a while, leading many mortals to mistakenly believe it to be real, embracing its core concept of Calamity Sealing God.

No one can entirely comprehend the deeper meaning behind this, nor has it impacted the Cultivation World at all, it's just one of countless myths circulating the mortal world, except, in this period, this story is somewhat unusual?

Anhe Daoist Sect, Master Xiao looked at the young man before him and felt a sense of nostalgia, indeed an envoy from the Upper Realm, with insights far beyond mortals.

"There's an intriguing story going around the Continent recently, have you heard of it, senior?"

Tianfeng Daoist replied nonchalantly, among the Masters here in Anhe, Master Xiao is one whom he greatly respects for his foresight unlike other Jinxiu Masters, therefore he is willing to exchanging some matters with him, a way to maintain relations.

"Investiture of the Gods? Just nonsense, like the Sealing of the Infant list, merely the Heavenly Heart Pavilion's self-promotion to maintain their status in Jinxiu's Cultivation World." Master Xiao said with a Taiji-like gesture resembling a soft blockade.

Yet Tianfeng Daoist knew that's not truly what he thought, "Some things perhaps don't happen without cause; what is called Immortal's guidance refers to a kind of public guidance in the human world, each has its profound intrinsic purpose, there's never a trend in the Universe Cultivation Realm without reason, preceding every emergence are various signs, preparing the public mentally, forming concepts subconsciously. What do you think, senior?"
