Chapter 263: Unlocking the Main Gate of the Cave Heaven
In a profound fusion of the three souls, Jiang Chen effortlessly mastered the spatial technique taught by both Nangong Wan and Shangguan Ning.
Yet, he refrained from using the technique right away to unlock the entrance of the cave dwelling. Instead, he used the transmission jade token to direct Liu Xiong, instructing him to block Gu Ran from penetrating what was likely a secondary gate.
During the whole interaction, he concealed his movements with the Heavenly Demon Hidden Heart Ring, ensuring that Wu Qian, who was in close proximity, remained completely oblivious.
...
On Three Mountains Island, Liu Xiong was initially stunned upon receiving Jiang Chen's transmission: 'A cave dwelling with a potential Transcendence realm opportunity! I'm supposed to stop Gu Ran from accessing what might be a secondary gate?'
This shock, however, quickly transformed into intense excitement. 'Amazing! Holy Son Jiang Chen has discovered a cave dwelling with a Transcendence realm opportunity in no time at all! If he secures this, won't his chances of reaching the Transcendence realm increase dramatically?'
He then stealthily approached Gu Ran's location, keeping a vigilant eye on him.
Should the secondary gate of the cave dwelling indeed manifest, he was poised to intercept Gu Ran as efficiently as possible.
...
After relaying his instructions to Liu Xiong, Jiang Chen also transmitted a message to Ji Mingxiu. He then took his position before the golden-red main gate without delay.
From the main gate, a subtle vibration in space emanated.
Its surface's golden-red glow started to pulsate in a rhythmic pattern.
"Vast Void Spirit Technique!" Jiang Chen raised both hands as Dao Yuan Power surged wildly throughout his body.
Nangong Wan and Shangguan Ning pitched in, offering their maximum energy to bolster Jiang Chen.
Through the collective might of all three, a fluctuating glimmer slowly materialized between Jiang Chen's outstretched palms.
Within this glimmer, a growing spatial force was encapsulated.
The spatial secret art, a mysterious technique accessible only at the Third Step of the Cultivation Path, was indeed the essential key to unlocking the Great Dao of Space!
'He's using a Spatial Technique!' Wu Qian was completely stunned as he watched Jiang Chen.
'Good heavens! Holy Son Jiang Chen is extraordinary. He's actually mastered the spatial secret art!'
'For someone at the Dao Palace realm to master a technique that even some Transcendence realm experts find elusive is truly awe-inspiring,' his heart rippled with surges of astonishment and admiration.
Boom!
All of a sudden, the spatial power cocooned within Jiang Chen's palms surged, amplifying in intensity.
"Go!" With a resolute expression, Jiang Chen propelled the concentrated spatial energy from his palms.
Instantly, the spiraling spatial force melded seamlessly into the golden-red entrance of the cave dwelling.
The entrance reacted as though it were paper catching fire, igniting from the center and rapidly spreading outward in all directions.
In a flash, a gray void unfurled before both Jiang Chen and Wu Qian.
A powerful suction force emanated from the gray void, making their hair whip around and their robes flutter.
"It's open! Holy Son Jiang Chen, you're truly exceptional!" Wu Qian's eyes widened with excitement as he stared at the now-unlocked golden-red entrance.
Despite his previous tireless attempts, this entrance had always eluded him, costing him countless hours of futile effort.
Yet Jiang Chen had managed to open it effortlessly in a single move, a truly extraordinary feat.
"The passage is still unstable. Let's give it a moment before we venture in!" Jiang Chen cautioned, his face a picture of calm focus as he kept his gaze intently on the gray passageway.
Inside, turbulent spatial forces swirled, capable of tearing apart an ordinary Dao Comprehension realm powerhouse in an instant, and subduing a Dao Palace realm powerhouse in less than three breaths.
Jiang Chen knew that this instability was the result of triggering the mechanism left by the original owner of the cave dwelling, which was now in the process of opening the dwelling's secondary gates.
Suddenly, a message alert sounded from Jiang Chen's transmission jade token.
He discreetly checked it with his divine sense and found that Liu Xiong had sent a message: "Holy Son! A strong spatial fluctuation is emerging on Three Mountains Island!"
"Stop Gu Ran!" Using his divine sense, Jiang Chen quickly keyed in and sent the directive.
Just then, the cave dwelling's main gate abruptly stabilized, expanding swiftly into a massive gray vortex.
"I will certainly... Oh no! The spatial secondary gate has appeared at..." Liu Xiong's message flashed on Jiang Chen's transmission jade token, but was cut off before it could fully transmit.
'What! It just appeared at...where?' A flicker of surprise crossed Jiang Chen's eyes as his heart skipped a beat. 'Could the spatial gate have materialized right above Gu Ran?'
'Damn it, has Heavenly Fate thrown in such a disruptive curveball?'
'It seems stopping Gu Ran from entering this cave dwelling might be an impossible mission now. Sigh.'
'On the bright side, Liu Xiong should also be inside, keeping an eye on Gu Ran for the time being. I just hope he doesn't become sacrificial fodder for Gu Ran,' he thought, swiftly regaining his composure.
"Holy Son Jiang Chen! The cave dwelling's entrance is now stable. Shall we go in?" Wu Qian, unable to contain his excitement, inquired eagerly.
"Let's proceed. Enter," Jiang Chen responded with a slight nod. With a tap of his foot, he levitated, gliding smoothly into the gray vortex.
Wu Qian's face beamed with excitement as he quickly followed Jiang Chen into the vortex.
...
Simultaneously, secondary gates to the cave dwelling sprang up in other regions across the Immortal Martial Continent.
Apart from the gate that appeared over Gu Ran's head in the Lustrous Yang Domain, pulling him directly inside, secondary gates also emerged in the four major domains: the Everflowing Truth Domain, the Vibrant Blaze Domain, the Ninth Heaven Domain, and the Wind Gold Domain.
Remarkably, the secondary gate in the Everflowing Truth Domain appeared close to the Purple Heaven Holy Land!
Upon receiving Jiang Chen's message, Ji Mingxiu immediately directed all his operatives to monitor various areas within the Everflowing Truth Domain.
Little did he expect that a secondary gate would materialize right in his own territory.
'It's really here!' he thought in amazement, 'A Cave Heaven suspected to contain Transcendence realm opportunities!'
'And it's even more shocking that it manifested right near my Purple Heaven Holy Land!'
'I can't help but wonder how Jiang Chen managed to find such an immense opportunity. His luck is truly out of this world!' Ji Mingxiu pondered, his mind a mix of astonishment and awe.
Brimming with anticipation, Ji Mingxiu was tempted to dive into the spatial passage immediately. However, he managed to rein in his excitement and promptly called for an urgent high-level meeting at the Purple Heaven Holy Land.
In a matter of moments, all the Supreme Elders and other high-ranking Elders gathered together.
With palpable excitement, Ji Mingxiu announced, "As everyone can see, a spatial passage has appeared right outside our Purple Heaven Holy Land."
"That is the Cave Heaven Secret Realm discovered by Holy Son Jiang Chen. This passage materialized after he activated it."
"Inside this Cave Heaven Secret Realm could be opportunities for ascending to the Transcendence realm!" he declared, his eyes gleaming with zeal.
"Truly, Holy Son Jiang Chen is our fated savior!" an Elder exclaimed, his voice tinged with reverence.
"In these troubled timesamidst the demonic invasion and the turmoil that engulfs the Immortal Martial ContinentJiang Chen has managed to uncover such a crucial opportunity for us!"
"That's incredible news! I don't dare to covet the opportunity for myself. As long as it can assist Holy Son Jiang Chen in powering up, that's all that matters!"
The atmosphere among the high-ranking cultivators in the Holy Land was electric, each person feeling as if the future of the Immortal Martial Continent had just become a little brighter.
