Even the Elder Ancestors couldn’t have foreseen the emergence of Qianyuan Cave Heaven, yet Lu Changsheng managed to see it.
“In ancient times, the Demon Lord waged war against the Heavenly Court, the flames of which swept through the entire Immortal Realm. Qingwei True Sovereign fell in this war, and his cave dwelling has since been lost to the world. If Qianyuan Cave Heaven has remained undiscovered until now, then it must contain the cultivation techniques and treasures collected by Qingwei True Sovereign.”
Several Elder Ancestors’ eyes were ablaze with enthusiasm.
If Taihua Holy Land could obtain the treasures left by Qingwei True Sovereign, Taihua Holy Land could leap to become one of the preeminent Holy Lands in terms of strength.
Jiang Family Ancestor said impatiently, “Young man, do you know the exact location where Qianyuan Cave Heaven has appeared? If we are the first to enter Qianyuan Cave Heaven, our gains will definitely be substantial.”
Lin Clan’s Elder Ancestor and Ye Family’s Elder Ancestor both turned their attention to Lu Changsheng.
This news was priceless.
Lu Changsheng smiled bitterly and shook his head. Find your next read on My Virtual Library Empire
The Disciple Apprenticeship Simulator only indicated that such an event would occur in three thousand years but didn’t specify the exact location of Qianyuan Cave Heaven’s emergence.
“That’s true, the fact that you could fortuitously foresee the emergence of Qianyuan Cave Heaven is already remarkable.”
The Elder Ancestors couldn’t help feeling disappointed.
If they could have known the precise location of Qianyuan Cave Heaven’s emergence, these Elder Ancestors would have been the first to break into Qianyuan Cave Heaven, and it was very likely they would have obtained all of Qingwei True Sovereign’s cultivation techniques and treasures.
But since Lu Changsheng was also unaware of the exact position of Qianyuan Cave Heaven, Taihua Holy Land would have to compete with other Holy Lands, prestigious families, and Immortal Sects for the treasures inside Qianyuan Cave Heaven.
Finders keepers for ownerless goods.
With Lu Changsheng ranking first on the Qilin Ranking and possessing monstrous aptitude, the Elder Ancestors trusted his words without doubt and began to make early arrangements.
“Qingwei True Sovereign was an existence on the same level as the goddess who founded our Taihua Holy Land. His Qianyuan Cave Heaven equals a small world.”
“It is said that Qingwei True Sovereign, being a cautious person, set up an unparalleled Great Formation inside Qianyuan Cave Heaven to prevent strong enemies from breaking in. The Great Formation of Qianyuan Cave Heaven can operate by automatically absorbing nature’s spiritual energy.”
“Even if an Immortal Emperor leads the team, entering Qianyuan Cave Heaven would be tantamount to seeking death.”
“We old fellows can afford to send out two people to lead the team, leaving the others to guard the Holy Land.”
After a short discussion among themselves, the Elder Ancestors, for the sake of Qingwei True Sovereign’s treasures, decided to take action personally.
“As per tradition, we’ll draw lots.”
“No Divine Skills are to be used during the draw.”
“…”
Seeing the Elder Ancestors drawing lots like mortals, Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but find it amusing.
The Elder Ancestors seemed to be getting younger with age.
The result of drawing lots was that Lin Clan’s Elder Ancestor and Jiang Family Ancestor were chosen, while Ye Family’s Elder Ancestor and the others wore gloomy expressions.
Devoid of a chance at Qingwei True Sovereign’s treasures.
Taihua Divine Mountain required the presence of an Elder Ancestor level being, so Ye Family’s Elder Ancestor and the others had no choice but to remain and guard Taihua Divine Mountain.
Due to Lu Changsheng revealing the emergence of Qianyuan Cave Heaven three thousand years in advance, Taihua Holy Land was the first to make preparations.
Lin Clan’s Elder Ancestor, Jiang Family Ancestor, and Lin Xuantong, three formidable figures, personally led the team.
Lin Xuantong called back two disciples who were at the Great Accomplishment in the Immortal Emperor Realm – Buyi Immortal Emperor and Fairy Shun Hua.
In addition, Lin Xuantong also gathered several Great Accomplishment Immortal Emperor Realm Supreme Elders to inform them of this matter and to prompt them to be ready.
Lu Changsheng, Lin Qinghan, Jiang Yu, Ye Feng, and other Preliminary Immortal Emperors also joined the team for training.
Even those with prestigious statuses like the Holy Son and Holy Maiden could not stay in Mount Taihua to cultivate forever.
Without experiencing life and death, without learning to deal with various critical situations, they would not be qualified to rule the Holy Land.
Furthermore, Lin Xuantong and Lin Clan’s Elder Ancestor were confident they could protect Lu Changsheng and Lin Qinghan at critical moments.
With both of them coming out of the mountain, if one took action, there would still be another to look after the disciples.
Jiang Family Ancestor was also confident of ensuring Jiang Yu’s safety.
Lu Changsheng had not expected that Taihua Holy Land would place such great importance on the emergence of Qianyuan Cave Heaven, with even Lin Clan’s Elder Ancestor and Jiang Family Ancestor personally going out.
Lin Clan’s Elder Ancestor and Jiang Family Ancestor could be said to be the pinnacle of Taihua Holy Land’s strength, having cultivated for over a hundred million years, even more senior than the Holy Mother of Yaochi.
Normally, neither would personally take action but would leave matters to Lin Xuantong to handle.
However, Qianyuan Cave Heaven might have preserved the unique Cultivation Techniques and some Dao Artifacts of Qingwei True Sovereign. Both Elder Ancestor of Lin Clan and Jiang Family Ancestor also wanted to acquire these treasures.
The Holy Land of Mount Taihua made preparations in advance, resolving to act immediately once Qianyuan Cave Heaven emerged, aiming to beat other Holy Lands to the punch.
Lu Changsheng continued his cultivation at Yuntai Peak of Mount Taihua.
Three thousand years later, in the central region of the Immortal Realm, above a mountain range, the sky suddenly tore open, and a brilliant golden light shone forth, illuminating every divine domain!
In the sky, it was as if two suns had appeared.
“A, a miracle!”
“Which fellow daoist is undergoing Tribulation?”
“No, this is definitely not someone undergoing Tribulation. The commotion is too great for that; it’s likely a Cave Heaven Blessed Land has come into being!”
Cultivators from all the divine domains were startled by the dazzling golden light; the news spread, and the entire Immortal Realm was abuzz with excitement!
Such a disturbance, the emerging Cave Heaven Blessed Land, couldn’t be anything ordinary!
At Yellow Dragon Mountain, members of the Heavenly Master Sect, including Qingxu True Sovereign, Shen Xiaoyao, Wu Wan’er, and others, saw the dazzling golden light.
“This must be an unclaimed Cave Heaven. If I can obtain the Cultivation Techniques and treasures within, I might be able to advance further.”
“You all stay and guard the sect; I’ll go and see for myself.”
Qingxu True Sovereign transformed into a streak of yellow light and flew toward the site where Qianyuan Cave Heaven had emerged.
Behind Yellow Dragon Mountain, several dark figures burst forth, also wanting to explore Qianyuan Cave Heaven.
“Those few, one of them seems to be the previous Sect Leader?”
“Could it be that the former Sect Leader did not perish but has been cultivating in seclusion at the back of the mountain all along?”
The disciples of the Heavenly Master Sect had not expected that so many powerhouses were hidden behind their mountain.
In the Immortal Dynasty, the Immortal Dragon Emperor was dealing with important affairs of the dynasty when the Prime Minister came in, “Your Majesty, a strange phenomenon has appeared in the northern sky, suspected to be the emergence of an ancient Cave Heaven Blessed Land. This place is close to our Immortal Dynasty, and as an unclaimed treasure, it’s first come first served. Perhaps Your Majesty could set off first and seize the treasures.”
“Summon the ‘Immortal Guard Squad’ and follow me there.”
“Yes.”
In the royal city of the Immortal Dynasty, many cultivators saw from above the palace a guard squad composed of powerful cultivators flying out on their swords, protecting an important figure as they departed.
Astute cultivators were not hard-pressed to connect the commotion from the royal city with the extraordinary phenomenon that had appeared.
In the central region of the Immortal Realm, all major Holy Lands, Prestigious Families, dynasties, and Immortal Sects were alarmed by the disturbance caused by the emergence of Qianyuan Cave Heaven and hurriedly assembled teams to explore the forbidden lands.
Before the emergence of Qianyuan Cave Heaven, it was difficult for many powerful beings in the Immortal Realm to pinpoint its location, but after its emergence, the major Holy Lands quickly received this news.
“It’s really unfortunate that Qianyuan Cave Heaven emerged in the central region of the Immortal Realm, while our Mount Taihua Holy Land is in the northern part of the Immortal Realm…”
Lin Xuantong gave a bitter smile.
He and the two ancestors had already made preparations and could have set off at a moment’s notice, but Qianyuan Cave Heaven appeared in the central region.
For the cultivators of Mount Taihua Holy Land to reach Qianyuan Cave Heaven, there would be some delay.
This meant that the group from Mount Taihua Holy Land could not be among the first wave of cultivators to enter Qianyuan Cave Heaven.
“It’s both time and fate. We still have to go and try our luck,” they resolved.
Elder Ancestors of Lin Clan and Jiang Clan set off with their people.
Lu Changsheng, taking Lu Qingzhi, Lu Qinglian, Xiao Fan, Ning Qianqian, Dugu Aotian, Su Xiaoqi, Chen Yi, Xu Jing, his eight Direct Disciples, as well as Tang Ling’er, Li Jianfei, Luo Xintang, Shangguan Zhao’er, and others went on an adventure.
In case of danger, Lu Changsheng could still shelter them within the Eight Desolations Imprisoning Dragon Tower.
The Eight Desolations Imprisoning Dragon Tower was a ninth-grade Dao Artifact, not so easily damaged.
At Guanghan Palace, Palace Master Li Heng gathered Xia Ningxue, Fairy Zhi Jin, Jiang Yue Fairy, and others, preparing to depart.
An elder ancestor of Guanghan Palace came out of seclusion, carrying three Immortal Swords on her back.
“The emerging Cave Heaven Blessed Land is the Qianyuan Cave Heaven of Qingwei True Sovereign. If luck is on our side, Guanghan Palace might have a chance to obtain Qingwei True Sovereign’s Cultivation Technique and treasures. We should give it a try.
This elder ancestor led the Guanghan Palace team set off.”
Not just Mount Taihua and Guanghan Palace, but Yaochi, Primordial, Taishi, Lianshan, Changliu, and other Holy Lands also dispatched elder ancestors or Saint Lord-level powerhouses to lead teams to Qianyuan Cave Heaven.
Within the Ancient Feng Family, the number-one prodigy Feng Mu emerged from seclusion, full of youthful vigor: “Lu Changsheng, I have now broken through to the fourth tier of the Immortal Emperor Realm. A gentleman’s revenge is not overdue even after ten thousand years. This time, I shall defeat you personally.”
