Qin Ze and the Roc, riding golden cranes, slowly descended to the summit of Mount Heng. There was a huge cave there, with many mutated creatures that looked like demonic beasts standing on both sides. Upon seeing the Roc, they all knelt down and showed great respect.

The roc nodded to the mutated beasts, as if signaling them to remain vigilant. Then, it invited Qin Ze into the cave.

The interior decoration of the cave is simply breathtaking. Soft, dim light filters through the massive, gem-encrusted walls, illuminating the entire space. These gems—rubies, sapphires, emeralds, and diamonds—shimmer with captivating brilliance, projecting iridescent beams of light that fill the cave with a mysterious atmosphere.

Various jewels hang on the walls, inlaid in exquisite gold and silver ornaments, forming magnificent murals and patterns. These gems are arranged in different shapes and colors, presenting lifelike flowers, mythical creatures and landscapes, as if turning the cave into an art palace.

The ground was paved with exquisite stone bricks, each brick engraved with beautiful patterns and symbols. These bricks formed intricate designs, like abstract paintings, extending to every corner of the cave. The stone bricks underfoot were smooth and sturdy, emitting a faint, pleasant fragrance.

Throughout the cave, the brilliance of gemstones and the splendor of stone bricks complement each other, making its luxury and beauty in no way inferior to human-made architecture.

Golden Crane stared intently at the magnificent cave before it, a surge of emotion welling up within it. "We're both mutated beasts," it thought to itself, "my old dwelling was nothing but a straw hut!" In Golden Crane's eyes, its former abode was vastly different from this place, like the contrast between heaven and hell.

Qin Ze's gaze remained calm, showing no interest in the gems. His attention was drawn to the size and internal structure of the cave. The cave was extremely spacious, with a complex network of passages crisscrossing within, forming a vast labyrinth that could house thousands of mutated beasts.

Qin Ze and the roc stepped into the depths of the cave, as if they had merged into this mysterious labyrinthine realm.

After navigating a series of intricate passages, the Roc led Qin Ze to the treasure vault hidden within the cave. This place was clearly a significant secret, as the Roc clan had concealed it with remarkable skill.

Pushing open the heavy stone door, Qin Ze and the Great Roc were utterly stunned by the sight before them. The treasure vault was filled with countless precious medicines and rare treasures, each shimmering with iridescent light and radiating powerful spiritual energy and mysterious power.

The walls were covered with various herbs and plants, emitting a strong medicinal aroma, making them excellent materials for concocting medicines. Bottles and jars were filled with pills of various colors, emitting an enticing fragrance and looking very tempting.

Inside a huge golden treasure box lay a gem as bright as a star, seemingly possessing mysterious power. On the shelves beside it were rare animal hides and bones, all precious materials.

Qin Ze's gaze swept over the precious treasures, and he realized one thing: although these treasures were of little help to him, they were an unparalleled blessing to the future generations of the Qin family.

He took half of the treasures from the vault, carefully arranged them, and prepared to place them in the Qin family's treasure trove for future generations to inherit and use. These treasures contained abundant spiritual energy and power, which would become important aids for the Qin family's descendants in their cultivation.

Qin Ze entrusted the remaining half to the Roc. Knowing the Roc's loyalty and abilities, he decided to leave it in Hengshan to continue recruiting more mutated beasts and building a powerful army of them.

Upon returning to his family, Qin Ze was immediately summoned aside by his father, Qin Zhan. Qin Zhan, with a worried expression, said to Qin Ze, "Ze'er, there have been unusual occurrences in Kunlun Mountain recently. I think you should be aware of this."

Qin Ze frowned. He was curious about the unusual situation in Kunlun Mountain, and also a little worried, because this mountain range had a special status in the cultivation world and was inhabited by many cultivators all year round. The unusual situation could trigger a series of problems.

He asked anxiously, "Father, what's wrong with Kunlun Mountain?"

Qin Zhan replied in a deep voice, "A black crack has appeared in the sky above Kunlun Mountain, which looks like a void passage. But the problem is, we can't be sure what's on the other side of this passage, or whether there's any danger."

Qin Ze's heart sank. Void passages are dangerous entities, usually associated with other worlds or malevolent creatures.

After a moment's thought, he said, "Father, I will personally go to Kunlun Mountain to investigate this void passage. We must find out what happened on the other side and whether it poses a threat to us."

Qin Zhan nodded and said with emotion, "Ze'er, you have always been the pride of the family. I believe you can handle this problem. Just be careful, and don't take any risks if things don't go well."

As Qin Ze stepped onto Mount Kunlun, he immediately sensed the tense atmosphere. Members of various organizations had gathered around Mount Kunlun, and all sorts of flags fluttered at its foot, clearly indicating that this place had become a gathering place for numerous cultivator organizations.

Looking into the distance, he saw a huge black crack appear in the sky above the summit of Kunlun Mountain, filled with a mysterious aura. This was the void passage his father had spoken of.

The surrounding cultivators were busy, some stabilizing the mountainside, others preparing defenses, clearly anticipating the dangers that the void passage might pose. Meanwhile, representatives of various cultivator organizations were vying for control of the passage, their arguments echoing throughout the room.
