Duan Gujin knew that every time the Teleportation Array was activated, it teleported randomly, so it was unlikely they would be sent back to the same place where he and Qing Lian had simultaneously leveled up before.
Soon, Duan Gujin and Qing Lian were engulfed by a strong Transmission Energy and teleported inside.
In less than ten breaths, they felt the Transmission Energy around them stabilize. They opened their eyes and glanced around, quickly realizing they had been teleported to a place different from the one they were sent to in their previous lifetime.
They had anticipated this result before, so they faced it with calmness.
"We need to be cautious now!"
Duan Gujin said to Qing Lian.
"I know!"
Qing Lian took a deep breath, and then they both set off forward.
However, after advancing less than a kilometer, they stared ahead, dumbstruck at the sudden appearance of the whirlwind.
The whirlwind covered the sky and earth, enveloping everything ahead.
The wind howled, sweeping all the dust from the ground.
Duan Gujin and Qing Lian had witnessed the might of these winds before, knowing that they could even block one's Divine Sense Inspection.
If anyone used their Divine Sense to probe the whirlwind ahead, they would feel a painful sensation as if their Divine Soul were being torn apart.
This sensation could last for several days. Qing Lian, not knowing the power of the whirlwind before, once used her Divine Sense to probe inside.
As a result, she turned pale in the next moment, with sweat as big as soybeans dripping from her forehead.
The whirlwind severed her Divine Sense Inspection, causing a certain degree of damage to her Divine Soul.
It took her several days to stabilize her Divine Soul again.
Recalling this incident, Qing Lian couldn't help but furrow her brows.
"Why is there such a whirlwind here?"
Qing Lian secretly transmitted a query to Duan Gujin.
"I'm not too sure!"
In their previous life, Duan Gujin and Qing Lian encountered the whirlwind only in the last few levels while breaking through here.
They had considered many possibilities, but never imagined they'd encounter the whirlwind that had stumped them in their previous life right in the first level.
"Completely not playing by the rules!"
Duan Gujin previously thought the whirlwind only appeared in the last few levels. It was only now he realized their prior analysis was wrong.
The best way to avoid being blown by the whirlwind is to find a place to hide, so as not to get hurt by it.
Thankfully, the whirlwind didn't possess strong attack power. As long as they hid well and avoided being swept into it, they only needed to wait for it to pass before coming out again.
Duan Gujin looked around and saw many Human Warriors nearby trying to rush into the whirlwind, seemingly unafraid of it.
He immediately shouted, "Friends, don't rush inside that whirlwind, it's very dangerous in there! Also, don't use your Divine Sense to probe it, it's extremely dangerous! Find a place to hide to avoid the whirlwind!"
Many Human Warriors laughed inwardly after hearing this.
In their eyes, Duan Gujin was just a coward, afraid even of a whirlwind.
They said nothing, but their actions showed Duan Gujin that they didn't believe his words.
They rushed into the whirlwind, and soon their bodies lost control, failing to respond to their commands.
Those who rushed inside found they couldn't circulate their Primordial Power, as if it was completely sealed.
Their complexions changed drastically, and fear struck their hearts. They never imagined that upon entering here, they'd face such misfortune.
The Human Warriors were swept several meters into the air by the whirlwind and then slammed heavily onto the ground.
Thankfully, the warriors entering here were quite strong, and hadn't sustained broken bones, though their bodies ached terribly.
The fallen warriors quickly retrieved Recovery Pills from their storage rings, consumed them, and began to heal their bodies on the ground.
Fortunately, although the whirlwind moved swiftly, it didn't return to previously blown places once it passed.
This spared the fallen warriors from being continually swept into the air, avoiding severe injury.
However, some Human Warriors, heeding Duan Gujin's warning, released their Divine Sense, attempting to explore the whirlwind ahead.
In the next instant, they felt as if countless silver needles pierced their heads, causing excruciating pain.
"My head hurts so much!"
The Human Warrior immediately realized they were likely attacked by the whirlwind's Divine Soul Attack while probing with their Divine Sense.
"So the whirlwind really is that terrifying!"
Only then did the Human Warriors recognize that Duan Gujin's earlier warning was entirely correct, and it was their disregard that led to their injuries.
Seeing the fate of the others, some Human Warriors decided to follow Duan Gujin's advice.
They found a corner to hide in, preventing the whirlwind from impacting them, and refrained from using Divine Sense to explore it.
Just like that, after the whirlwind passed, they emerged from hiding.
The ones significantly injured were those who used Divine Sense to investigate, unable to probe with it for the following days.
Once they continued Divine Sense Inspection, they felt as if their heads were being pricked by needles.
"Everyone, if you encounter those fierce winds in the future, you must immediately avoid them. Do not use divine sense to inspect them; it will harm your divine soul. Also, don't rush into them, the wind contains an energy that prevents you from using any Primordial Power!"
Duan Gujin quickly said to the group of human warriors nearby.
"Okay, got it!"
Many human warriors expressed their gratitude.
"Let's continue forward!"
Duan Gujin immediately continued forward with Qing Lian.
A doubt flashed in his mind. He really wanted to know what the purpose of those fierce winds was and why they appeared in the Ziwei Divine Palace.
The group knew they had already arrived at a secret realm set up by the Ziwei Divine Palace. On the surface, it didn't look much different from the outside, but everything here was arranged by the Ziwei Divine Sect, making it very easy for them to set up mechanical traps in every corner.
Everyone held pointing compasses in their hands, fearing that they might get lost inside the Ziwei Divine Palace.
Although all intruders would be teleported out once the time was up, for everyone present, the fear came not only from the mechanical traps here but also from the looting by other human warriors.
Where exactly the Ziwei Divine Sect placed the treasures was something only they could find out.
It was imaginable that some warriors would want to reap without sowing, ambushing in hidden places to attack others.
In a way, this place had become a slaughterfield.
When they advanced three kilometers, they arrived at a wilderness filled with evil souls.
Seeing the overwhelming number of evil souls, many people became terrified.
"Heavens! So many evil souls!"
"What should we do? Should we rush through together?"
"Rushing through together would be even more dangerous, wouldn't it?"
Duan Gujin furrowed his brow slightly and shouted loudly: "Everyone, there are evil souls ahead! Those evil souls fear fire and lightning. If your strength isn't strong enough, just restrain your life aura and don't let those evil souls discover you! If your strength is sufficient, you can charge straight ahead! Everyone, be careful along the way, I'm going first!"
In his previous life, Duan Gujin had dealt with the evil souls here, so he naturally knew the weaknesses of those evil souls.
He released his Heavenly Dragon Martial Soul, activating the intimidating ability of the Giant Demon Dragon Elephant Martial Soul.
He knew that he could easily lead the warriors behind him through the wilderness filled with evil souls, but he couldn't play babysitter to them all the way.
This time they entered the Ziwei Divine Palace for treasure hunting. Coming here to venture for treasure without strength was purely seeking death.
To die for wealth was a death not worth lamenting!
Duan Gujin, with Qing Lian beside him, turned into a streak of light, speeding towards the front.
Seeing them sprint away like lightning, while the evil souls ahead retreated in all directions, those present looked on with envy.
"So they were two Martial Saint experts!"
"Which sect are those two Martial Saint experts from?"
"I've seen them before, they seem to be disciples of the Xiao Shan Sect!"
"Xiao Shan Sect? Stop joking, that's just a small sect! Apart from the Sect Master and Deputy Sect Master, all the other disciples are only at the Martial Emperor Realm!"
The people present recalled that it was impossible for Duan Gujin and Qing Lian, who dashed away like lightning, to be disciples of the Xiao Shan Sect. That sect's strength was too weak.
Duan Gujin and Qing Lian didn't want to waste time, so they advanced rapidly for more than ten kilometers, breaking through the wilderness filled with evil souls.
Duan Gujin extended his divine sense and soon detected a giant stele ahead, so he and Qing Lian walked over together.
Just after being teleported into the Ziwei Divine Palace, there was a stele nearby with a map on it.
The map indicated to those teleported here how they should proceed and where the treasures might be located.
And to find the treasures, they had to rely on themselves to uncover them.
All the treasures would be placed in a small temple, and only by getting through the various mechanical traps set around the small temple could they obtain the treasures inside.
Therefore, the competition for treasures in the Ziwei Divine Palace was extremely fierce and brutal. Duan Gujin and Qing Lian had once seen two brothers fighting fiercely over a treasure.
The Ziwei Divine Sect arranged it this way simply to let capable people obtain treasures.
If a martial artist lacked ability but obtained a treasure, it wasn't helping them but harming them.
The Ziwei Divine Sect believed that only through competition could one become stronger.
Survival of the fittest, elimination of the weak!
This was the doctrine of the Ziwei Divine Sect.
Though the Ziwei Divine Sect became strong because of this doctrine, it also perished because of it.
Ultimately, if a sect invested all its cultivation resources in a portion of its disciples, those disciples would indeed become much stronger than others.
But doing so would reduce the number of people in the sect. Once all the elites in the sect perished, the entire sect would be doomed.
During the Ancient War, everyone within the Ziwei Divine Sect was wiped out.
Naturally, the Ziwei Divine Sect then 'disappeared' from the Yuanzhen Continent.
