The Spiritual Energy here is not nonexistent, but rather too tumultuous and chaotic. High-grade cultivators are somewhat better off; they can find ways to arrange the Spiritual Energy in an orderly fashion and make it operate obediently inside their bodies. However, low-level disciples cannot do this at all. A single misstep could lead to their bodies being ruptured by the violent Spiritual Energy, resulting in death. In such a place for cultivation, even if there were ten times as many low-level disciples as the twenty-odd currently present, fewer than a handful would successfully advance!
Pu Yanlan naturally also realized this. After pondering for a while, she decided to tell Yan Rufeng about the cave mansion at the lake bottom.
"Initially, we only accidentally discovered that there was a cave mansion left by predecessors at the bottom of this lake. We thought of exploring it, and it seemed neither here nor there. But now, we must go there!"
