Chen Guan has been living quite comfortably lately. With the teleportation door, he can establish a direct route between the Southern Heavenly Kingdom and Purple Sun City.
In the future, the two places will be connected, watching over each other and exchanging goods, allowing continuous developnt along the borders.
The Celestial Pillar Grotto Heaven is currently half-occupied by the Southern Heavenly Kingdom and shared with the Qin Family.
Pengxuan Grotto Heaven's Purple Sun City also occupies a large area, and will continue to expand in the future.
If, in the future, Pengxuan Grotto Heaven and Celestial Pillar Grotto Heaven can both be brought under control, using the two Grotto Heavens as leverage, it would provide a continuous influx of fresh talent into the Great Cave Heaven.
However, before that, Chen Guan must establish his own city and safety zone within the Great Cave Heaven; otherwise, his people, upon ascending to the Great Cave Heaven, would have no place to stand.
"It's ti to head to the Great Cave Heaven." After arranging things on both sides, Chen Guan planned to go to the Great Cave Heaven to develop.
Currently, Ji Nanhong is wreaking havoc in the Blessed Land, eliminating many of the Ancestral Court's forces. They have completely broken with the Ancestral Court.
Ji Nanhong absolutely cannot leave the Blessed Land right now. Inside the Blessed Land, she is invincible, and no one dares to provoke her.
But once she leaves the Blessed Land, it's a different story.
Chen Guan plans to enter the Great Cave Heaven himself first. Once he has a foothold, he will retrieve the Evil Spirit Blood Sword, upgrade its level, and then hand it over to Ji Nanhong, allowing her to ascend to the Grotto Heaven, where she can continue to be unbeatable.
No matter how furious the Ancestral Court is, they would be helpless against her.
Of course, the premise is that Chen Guan must establish himself in the Great Cave Heaven first.
The problem now is: with what identity should he go, and to which Great Cave Heaven?
The Great Cave Heavens differ from the Grotto Heavens. There are many more Grotto Heavens, and the forces are more tangled, providing more opportunities to exploit gaps without worrying about being grabbed by a particular force.
However, there are only ten Great Cave Heavens, and each has only one controlling force. Anyone ascending to a Great Cave Heaven will have their identity and background strictly scrutinized by that family, and even before entering, if one's origins are unclear or identity problematic, entry will be denied.
It's impossible to co and go as freely as before; a reliable identity is essential.
Whether as Chen Guan or Zi Donglai, both identities are thorns in others' sides.
Despite the ten great families helping him during the Southern Heavenly Kingdom war, many people in those families would want to eliminate him if given the chance, to prevent future threats.
After all, both Chen Guan and Zi Donglai have demonstrated unimaginably powerful combat capabilities at the sa level.
Among the families close to Chen Guan are the Qin, Zhang, and Jiang Families. Normally, Chen Guan should choose one of these three to join their Great Cave Heaven.
Chen Guan is inclined towards the Jiang or Zhang Great Cave Heavens. The Zhang Family are both healers and rchants; nobly, they heal the world; frankly, making money is no disgrace.
Chen Guan has no interest conflicts with their family and could even offer them help or engage in beneficial exchanges. They have no reason to act against him.
Choosing the Jiang Family is purely because of Jiang Qiemo; with their relationship and Jiang Qiemo being the future Guardian of the Jiang Family, they should not make things difficult for him.
However, whether joining the Zhang or Jiang Family, it would ultimately an being under soone else's roof, inevitably leading to restrictions.
Will these two allow Chen Guan to develop his own force in the Great Cave Heaven?
Even if permitted, developing there would inevitably result in irreconcilable conflicts.
Because the Great Cave Heaven belongs to them, the more Chen Guan develops, the more he takes from their hands, pushing them to the opposing side.
Chen Guan naturally doesn't want such a choice, but competing with enemies for territory is beyond his current strength.
Should he directly go to the Great Cave Heaven of Celestial Void Palace now, Chen Guan might be obliterated, let alone the Ancestral Court eyeing the opportunity.
Chen Guan cannot help but think of the Ji Family's Great Cave Heaven, which is now leaderless and facing difficult tis.
Without King Ji, the Ji Family is at the bottom among the ten great families, possibly being expelled from the group at any mont.
Of course, that ti will inevitably co unless the Ji Family produces another Celestial King level expert before their complete decline.
But rising a Celestial King level expert is no easy feat. Over the past 800 years, many have claid to be the strongest beneath the Celestial Kings, future Celestial Kings, or successors, destined to surpass current Celestial Kings.
Such people have appeared periodically, even achieving feats that suggested invincibility.
Yet today, the Ten Celestial Kings remain unshaken, their presence undisturbed.
No matter how formidable, experts fail to maintain steadfast like Celestial Kings, unable to protect a side in a Great Cave Heaven.
If King Ji were still present, Chen Guan would have no opportunity at the Ji Family's Great Cave Heaven.
But now that King Ji is gone and the Ji Family is in turmoil, this is Chen Guan's chance.
"Ji Changsheng, oh Ji Changsheng, it's not that I want to take from your Ji Family, but your Ji Family just can't compete."
"Look at those in your family. You left them in a great position, yet they dismantled it themselves. If this continues, it won't be long, possibly not even ten years, until the Ji Family is no longer among the ten great families."
"When that ti cos, the special privileges of the ten families will be irrelevant. It will be uncertain whether the Ji Family mbers can survive."
"If I take the Ji Family's Great Cave Heaven, as long as those unreasonable mbers don't seek their doom, ensuring them safety and wealth won't be a problem."
Chen Guan has decided. To enter the Great Cave Heaven, he will go to the Ji Family's Great Cave Heaven. This might be his best and, indeed, the only choice.
The Ji Family, now oppressed by other families, likely needs support. Chen Guan's forces in the Grotto Heaven are reasonably strong and could offer the Ji Family so benefits in exchange for temporarily sheltering Chen Guan.
With this decision, Chen Guan felt a burden lift. Just as he was about to leave, he sensed soone's gaze on his back.
He turned abruptly to see a shadow standing not far behind him, less than two ters away. Until then, he had been completely unaware, not realizing a shadow was present.
Chen Guan was shocked. In the Grotto Heaven, he is almost invincible; how could anyone approach him so closely without detection?
The shadow was clearly watching him, yet seed to have no intention of attacking.
