Night Without End

"Minotaur?" Qin Ming recalled, in the past, when heading to the Immortal Tomb, they had passed by the homeland of that clan.

The cultivators in Ye State mostly engaged in passive exploration and hadn't invaded this place. Moreover, the minotaurs there "guard" outside, serving as "sentinels," also playing a role in vigilance.

"A stable Jinguang Cave requires drawing power from the Fire Spring to maintain, and the consumption is considerable."

In fact, even the first group of explorers was composed of green-haired minotaurs.

"At the time, when recruiting minotaurs, they were given generous rewards. Who expected that not long after, cultivators across Ye State started spending a fortune to buy tickets to enter Jinguang Cave."

Mainly because the first batch of minotaurs were young ones in the First Realm. After going there, they encountered no danger and consumed a particular fruit on that side. Within a few days, some of them had broken through to the Second Realm.

Their full heads of green hair also began transforming into silver hair.

Most importantly, their cultivation speed in that domain was much faster than in their homeland.

People from Ye State who went to investigate found that the spiritual material over there was twice that of their homeland. Most crucially, the Tao rhythm over there was almost becoming tangible, which any genius could vaguely sense.

This made people go mad; by estimation, one day of cultivation there was equivalent to two or three days' worth of skill in Ye State. Who could resist such temptation?

Moreover, there was an eternal morning glow in that domain, suggesting that the Taiyang might re-emerge from the horizon.

Qin Ming left the tavern with complex and excited emotions. At this time, he was within the Da Rui domain. After the exchange meeting ended, he chose to conceal himself and go into seclusion nearby.

When he left the city, he entered the snowy forest and called out the Thunder King Bird.

"Go to the Tathagata Sect for me, and deliver a letter to Xiang Yiwu."

Qin Ming planned to summon the Newborn Road's door panel and Xiao Wu to research together how to explore that possibly sunlit mysterious world.

In fact, during the two months he was in hiding, everywhere had already boiled over with excitement. Xiang Yiwu and Wu Yaizu had already gathered together, considering an advance into the new domain.

They were also looking for Qin Ming, but unfortunately, he had been out of contact for a long time.

Two days later, Xiang Yiwu and Wu Yaizu hurried over and met Qin Ming in Rui City.

Xiao Wu said, "Brother Ming, you missing person finally returned. Everyone from all paths is now crazy, wanting to enter Jinguang Cave, and yet you disappeared for so long."

Qin Ming learned more information from the two of them.

The domain connected to Jinguang Cave was unimaginably distant.

Because, around Ye State, within a straight-line distance of a million miles, it was still winter, precisely the season when the land was icebound.

Yet, on the other end of Jinguang Cave, the vegetation was lush and flourishing; it was the season of life's exuberance.

"Is that side really approaching a domain with the Taiyang?" Qin Ming was most concerned with this question.

Xiang Yiwu said, "Hard to say. Beyond the distant mountains, there is indeed a first glow of morning, but if it's the Taiyang, why does it never rise?"

Wu Yaizu said, "However, it's truly valuable there, and it can be called Divine Land. Just four days ago, someone picked up a piece of Exotic Gold and brought it back!"

Qin Ming showed a look of surprise. This kind of material would move even the Ancestor Master, and Earth Immortals very much needed it, as it could be used to craft the most top-tier weapons!

Xiang Yiwu spoke seriously, "Two days ago, someone caught a Silver backed Golden Patterned Turtle. On its snow-white shell, there were inexplicable runes. After analysis by a Great Grandmaster, they were found to contain astonishing value, not lesser than a top-tier Secret Scripture!"

"Hiss!" Qin Ming drew in a breath of cold air. The more he listened, the more it seemed like the place was full of gold, with sweet honey dripping from the verdant leaves of the forest.

Even he was now immensely tempted, and it was no wonder so many people wanted to enter Jinguang Cave, resulting in tickets being in high demand.

Qin Ming understood that Ye State's true Great Exploration might officially commence from this point forward.

Those unknown worlds, mysterious realms, were all unpredictable. With such a "divine chance," everything on the path forward was possible.
