Days later, atop the ancient platform, there was no longer any sign of the elemental forces erupting. Jiang Chengxuan Chengxuan was sitting cross-legged at the very center of the platform, slowly regulating his breath to restore his Dharmic power.
Around him, the statues of the four elemental giants stood towering. They retained expressions of agony from their moments of defeat—some roaring towards the heavens, others kneeling on the ground. The statues of the elemental giants, each glowing faintly in shades of red, blue, green, and purple, stood as silent witnesses to the battle that had occurred.
“Phew, this immortal cave abode really gets more and more preposterous. I hope I haven’t gone the wrong way,” Jiang Chengxuan murmured after a moment as he slowly stood up.
First, it was the meteorite array, and then the battle with the Four Elemental Giants—each trial more challenging than the last. This likely meant that he was getting closer to the depths of the immortal cave abode, and perhaps others were heading there as well.
However, the path ahead promised to be even more arduous and perilous.
He could only hope that his friends and family wouldn’t encounter any mishaps.
In the next moment, Jiang Chengxuan reactivated his Heavenly Calculation Technique, and a series of foreboding images flashed through his mind. This time, however, the power of the Heavenly Calculation Technique could no longer predict a clear direction; it only indicated that fortune and disaster were intertwined.
The immortal cave abode’s power had ultimately influenced the Heavenly Calculation Technique, suggesting that the dangers ahead required even greater caution.
Nevertheless, Jiang Chengxuan’s expression remained unchanged. He had long been prepared for all this, and he wasn’t alone—the people of the Haoran Sect were waiting for him.
His resolve wasn’t something that the dangers of the immortal cave abode could easily shake.
Just then, an anomaly occurred on the ancient platform. The statues of the four elemental giants began to emit glowing lights in red, blue, green, and purple. Mysterious Dao powers radiated from within the statues, fully illuminating the space.
The four elemental giants seemed as if they were about to come back to life, their presence magnificent and imposing.
But just as Jiang Chengxuan readied himself to strike first, anticipating another battle, the four elemental statues suddenly began to crumble.
Under Jiang Chengxuan’s watchful eyes, the four massive statues, which reached the skies, started to disintegrate from the edges, dissipating into countless specks of light like bursting bubbles.
At that moment, the world around them turned into a sea of glowing lights, with waves of red, blue, green, and purple swirling beautifully, akin to a fairyland.
The powers of the Dao of Fire, Water, Wind, and Thunder began to manifest, creating a spectacular scene in the four corners of the void.
Soon after, four fruits, each emitting a misty light, appeared in the original locations of the four giants, quietly floating there.
This surprise brought a mixture of shock and joy to Jiang Chengxuan. It seemed this trial ground was indeed a place where great danger coincided with great opportunity.
Jiang Chengxuan soared up and collected the red, blue, green, and purple fruits. These fruits, brimming with pure Dao power, felt very familiar to him.
They were evidently akin to the Samsara Dao fruits he had been awarded before by the system.
Each of these fruits represented the attributes of the four elemental giants—water, fire, wind, and thunder. Perhaps they should be called the Four Elemental Dao Fruits.
Jiang Chengxuan understood that consuming these four Dao fruits would allow him to comprehend the Daos of fire, water, wind, and thunder. Such a tremendous effect was indeed worthy of the immortal cave abode’s reputation and the difficulty of the trials he had faced.
The power of these Dao rules was something only Dao Integration cultivators possessed. Without a doubt, these four Dao fruits could allow a cultivator to break through to the Dao Integration realm.
Such fruits could elevate the core power of a sect by a significant margin, as Dao Integration cultivators were influential figures capable of governing territories within any sect.
If these Dao fruits appeared in the Floodgate Realm, they would likely cause a bloody storm.
Holding the four Dao fruits, feeling the surge of profound Dao power within, Jiang Chengxuan couldn’t help but feel elated. However, at this moment, he decided not to consume or refine them immediately.
His current balance of the Five Elements Dao and the Samsara Dao was at its peak, and disrupting this balance hastily wasn’t wise. Moreover, the benefits of fire, water, thunder, and wind Daos weren’t substantial enough for his current level, and refining them would take considerable time—a luxury he couldn’t afford right now.
Considering all factors, Jiang Chengxuan chose to store the Dao fruits for now, planning to deal with them later.
Just then, Jiang Chengxuan sensed a powerful surge of Dharmic power not far from his location—a force so formidable that it made even him feel alarmed. The world around the ancient platform had opened up following the complete dissolution of the Four Elemental Giants, allowing access to distant realms.
Determined to investigate the source of the disturbance, Jiang Chengxuan reactivated his Heavenly Calculation Technique. After confirming that the omens did not suggest an immediately lethal threat, he decided to explore the source of these powerful fluctuations. Such disturbances could indicate the presence of other cultivators from different sects entering the area or could attract them.
Without hesitation, Jiang Chengxuan transformed into a beam of light and sped towards the location of the disturbance.
…
After swiftly traversing the distance, Jiang Chengxuan soon arrived at the epicenter of the tumultuous Dharmic power fluctuations. What he first saw was a space marred by devastation, with terrifying forces of Dao at work that painted a scene of cataclysmic power.
The sight sent shivers through Jiang Chengxuan, prompting him to push his Heavenly Calculation Technique to its limits and keep his presence entirely concealed.
After waiting briefly to ensure no immediate threats emerged, he proceeded cautiously forward. The terrifying fluctuations continued intermittently, showcasing their formidable strength.
As he approached, Jiang Chengxuan discovered the source of the disturbance—two ancient beasts locked in fierce combat!
Both creatures occupied vast expanses of space, colossal as stars, their bodies radiating divine light and Dao energies. Their clashes manifested entire worlds, only to shatter them the next instant.
To Jiang Chengxuan’s astonishment, both beasts exhibited the terrifying power of level 9, equivalent to Mahayana.
Even for someone as experienced and knowledgeable as Jiang Chengxuan, being this close to a battle between Daolords was heart-pounding. It was no wonder the immortal cave abode was said to be inaccessible to those below the level of Dao Mastery; the dangers here were truly formidable.
