Great Villain: Starting by Humiliating the Son of the Heavenly Fate Chapter 281: Exploring the Cave Heaven

When the atmosphere inside the Purple Heaven Grand Hall cald down, Ji Mingxiu spoke seriously, "Holy Son Jiang Chen has said that once the secondary gate opens, we must act quickly to enter!"

"There are many secondary gates, and others will definitely try to use them too," he continued. "These people will create problems for Holy Son Jiang Chen and could ruin his chances of gaining the opportunities inside. It is our duty to help him overco these challenges."

After finishing his speech, Ji Mingxiu said, "Now, we will choose who will enter the Cave Heaven." He began the process of selecting candidates.

...

At the sa ti, in the other three major domains, similar events were happening. Whether it was fate or sothing unknown, the other secondary gates to the Cave Heaven appeared near the most powerful organizations in each domain, just like in the Everflowing Truth Domain.

In the Ninth Heaven Domain, the strongest group was the Nine Heavens Tower.

Outside the Nine Heavens Tower’s headquarters, a huge gray vortex spun slowly. This marked the location of another secondary gate to the Cave Heaven.

The appearance of the gate caused fear and unease among everyone in the Nine Heavens Tower, from the leaders to the ordinary mbers.

"Look outside! A gray vortex is forming!" soone shouted in panic.

"It must be the legendary spatial passage! How scary!"

"Why has such a big passage appeared right outside our sect? Is it a trap by the demon race to attack the Nine Heavens Tower?"

"This is very serious. Two domains have already fallen to the demon army. Is the Ninth Heaven Domain next?"

"Our strength is equal to the Vibrant Blaze Domain, and they couldn’t stop the demons. We must prepare to leave quickly!"

Fear spread through the Nine Heavens Tower. Many cultivators, feeling as if disaster was about to strike, rushed to pack their things and leave the sect.

At the heart of the Nine Heavens Tower’s headquarters stood a magnificent pagoda. Its many layers and countless floors made it look as grand as a mountain.

On the pagoda’s highest floor, Lu An, the leader of the Nine Heavens Tower, looked down at the group of senior cultivators gathered below him. His face was serious and heavy with concern. "The spatial passage appeared without any warning," he began.

"It opened right outside our headquarters!"

He scanned the pale, worried faces of the cultivators and asked, with a hint of desperation, "What do you think we should do?"

It was clear that Lu An believed the vortex might be the start of a demonic invasion.

One Dao Palace realm expert stepped forward, taking a deep breath. "We cannot abandon the legacy of our ancestors," he said firmly.

"Nor can we leave the people of the Ninth Heaven Domain to suffer alone."

With determination in his voice, he continued, "Lord Lu, we must stand and fight, no matter the cost!"

Another Dao Palace realm expert quickly interrupted, "No, we must focus on a bigger goal—fighting the demon race!"

"Think about this: in the Everflowing Truth Domain, the Purple Heaven Holy Land is the strongest. They’ve already beaten the demon army. We could seek their help and protection!"

He added thoughtfully, "Right now, the Purple Heaven Holy Land is preparing to host the Number One Prodigy of the Immortal Martial Continent event. If one of us wins, the Nine Heavens Tower could rise in status and even surpass the Purple Heaven Holy Land!"

"That’s ridiculous!" another voice shouted angrily.

"We can’t follow such a plan!"

"Besides, thinking we could surpass the Purple Heaven Holy Land is just foolish!"

A heated argunt broke out among the senior cultivators.

The Nine Heavens Tower had three Dao Palace realm experts. Besides Tower Lord Lu An, the other two were now locked in this intense debate, their faces red with frustration.

Lu An stood quietly to the side, feeling helpless as the chaos around him grew.

Just like the Nine Heavens Tower in the Ninth Heaven Domain, the strongest group in the Wind Gold Domain was also in a difficult situation.

They were afraid of the demon race but didn’t want to give up. This led to heated argunts among their mbers.

anwhile, in the Vibrant Blaze Domain, the top sect, the Burning Blaze Ancient Sect, had been taken over by the demons and turned into a horrifying base.

From the sect master to the lowest disciples, the surviving mbers had been transford into demonic cultivators!

This tragedy wasn’t unique. Other groups in the domain were also being turned into demons, one after another.

Most of the people had beco mindless puppets, controlled by the Nether Soul Demon Clan.

Then, a spatial passage appeared outside the Burning Blaze Ancient Sect.

Even the leaders of the Nether Soul Demon Clan couldn’t figure out the purpose of this mysterious portal.

Still, they quickly sent their puppet cultivators into the passage to investigate.

But none of the demonic cultivators who entered returned, as if they had vanished.

This left the demon forces in the Vibrant Blaze Domain unsure about what to do next. They hesitated to send more people into the unknown passage.

...

In the anti, Jiang Chen, Wu Qian, Gu Ran, and Liu Xiong have successfully passed through their respective spatial gateways and entered the mysterious Cave Heaven.

The air buzzed with a strange humming sound.

After faint tremors, Jiang Chen and Wu Qian shot out of the gray portal one after the other, landing safely on the ground.

As soon as Jiang Chen exited the passage, he used his divine sense to scan the area around him.

Below him stretched a wide grassland with shades of yellow and green. In this place, a few small animals and demonic beasts were still alive.

In the distance, tall mountains rose in one direction, a vast ocean spread in another, and thick forests filled the rest of the land.

Farther away, the landscape changed again, but beyond that, everything beca blurry and unclear.

Jiang Chen stretched his divine sense as far as he could, but he was stunned. What’s happening? I can’t see any further!

Is this Cave Heaven so massive that even my divine sense can’t fully explore it? he thought in amazent.

The size of the Cave Heaven was truly incredible.

Even with his Transcendence realm divine sense, which could reach a million kiloters, Jiang Chen could only sense a small part of the Cave Heaven’s total size.

"This is unbelievable!" Wu Qian said, his eyes wide with shock and awe. "Who could have the power to create such a huge Cave Heaven? It’s like its own little world!"

"Could this be the work of a mighty cultivator at the Fourth Step of the Cultivation Path?" he wondered aloud, deeply impressed.

Cave Heavens are special spaces created by cultivators at the Third Step of the Cultivation Path. They are connected to the Immortal Martial Continent through unique techniques.

Most Cave Heavens are small, only about ten kiloters in size at the Heavenly Origin level. Typically, they range from a few hundred to a few thousand kiloters.

A Cave Heaven with a size greater than a million kiloters is extrely rare, almost unheard of.

To Wu Qian, only soone at the Fourth Step of the Cultivation Path could possibly create a Cave Heaven this big.

Suddenly, Jiang Chen heard Nangong Wan’s voice in his mind. "This Cave Heaven wasn’t created by anyone. It’s naturally ford!"

"Even with the high level of cultivation that Shangguan Ning and I have, we could never create or sustain a dinsional space this large," she explained.

So, this Cave Heaven ford naturally, Jiang Chen realized, feeling relieved.

If it was shaped by the powerful forces of the universe, then its imnse size makes sense, he thought.

Man-made Cave Heavens, like Immortal Tian Cui’s Cave Heaven Secret Realm, often carried risks of breaking apart. But naturally occurring Cave Heavens were far more stable, and their collapse was extrely rare.
