Chapter 148: Chapter 105 Grotto Heaven!

The occasional sunny day turned gloomy, and the atmosphere in the main hall of Taiyi Hall felt slightly chaotic.

Pei Wanyu, leaning against the red column, idly played with her nails painted with red rouge. Her delicately powdered face showed a hint of casual nobility, occasionally glancing at the dark sky slicing with lightning outside the window.

After not waiting for her good disciple to return, she and Xiao Yinruo tidied up and came to Taiyi Hall.

Sitting on both sides of the long table in the hall were the sect leaders of the Five Sects and Seven Schools, and Zheng Dongliu, seated at the head, after reading the contents of the Jade Scroll, spoke to the murmuring crowd: "It should be the new Cave Heaven."

After a pause, the elderly man continued: "According to the investigation team’s report on the local spatial fluctuations, it’s a Cave Heaven between the ’Saint Level’ and ’Supreme Level.’

There are two types of Grotto Heavens: one is a gift from the Yunding Continent, and the other is the legacy left after an Immortal’s passing.

Only the Grotto Heavens gifted by Yunding are classified by levels.

Based on the currently discovered and explored Grotto Heavens, the Human Clan has classified them into five levels: Dao, Immortal, Emperor, Venerate, and Saint.

These correspond respectively to the five major realms of Divine Concealment, Divine Presence, Crossing Tribulation, Harmonization, and Tongsheng.

As for the Grotto Heavens below Tongsheng, they are directly classified under ’Heaven, Earth, Mysterious, and Yellow.’

"Between?" With closed eyes, Shangguan Qizheng, surrounded by the ’Zhiwei Zhizhang’ Daoist skill, responded: "There have only been three Grotto Heavens discovered so far that allow cultivators from two realms to enter together.

This one has the highest level."

Qi Huizu, the Sect Master of the Lin Yuan Sword Sect, crossed his arms: "Is the entrance of this Cave Heaven still forming... has it been confirmed?"

Each level of Grotto Heaven only permits cultivators of the corresponding realm to enter. This is the rule of heaven and earth in Yunding, almost impossible to transcend.

Shangguan Qizheng opened his eyes, a slight weariness flashing in his eyes filled with Daoist skill, with a slightly hoarse voice: "It’s confirmed, a Cave Heaven between the two... This Cave Heaven is extraordinary."

Qi Huizu raised an eyebrow: "Then shall we return to our respective sects to organize teams and see who secures the exploration rights first?"

"No rush." Zheng Dongliu glanced at Shangguan Qizheng: "The location of the new Cave Heaven is in the middle of Mist River in the Datong Domain...

The Demon Clan discovered it first, and a Demon Saint has already gone over."

With these words, Qi Huizu’s expression turned more solemn: "Mist River?"

The Datong Domain is located north of the Central Region, divided in two by Mist River, with the west for the Demon Clan and the east for the Human Clan.

There is no Two Realms Pass here, as the Datong Domain is a pilot area where the Human Clan coexists with some friendly groups from the Demon Clan, making it the place where humans and demons coexist most harmoniously.

However, upon hearing that a new Cave Heaven appeared in the middle of Mist River, everyone present understood the gravity of the situation.

The number of people allowed to enter a Cave Heaven is limited, and now with a new one appearing in between Mist River, it means the Human and Demon Clans are bound to fight over the few slots.

And in such a situation, how many will come out of the Cave Heaven alive?

Shangguan Qizheng leaned back in his chair, nurturing his spirit while saying: "This is the first Cave Heaven in nearly ten thousand years to appear between the two clans... a time of great contention."

The Dean of Hengshui Immortal Cultivation Academy, Li Qingzhou, looked at Shangguan Qizheng: "Senior Shangguan, in your estimation, how many people can this Cave Heaven accommodate this time?"

Shangguan Qizheng replied: "About seven hundred."

The higher the level of the Cave Heaven, the fewer people it can accommodate, because the small world of the Cave Heaven can only bear limited power from the cultivators’ magic.

This is also a protection rule of the Heavenly Dao for the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures within the small world.

Once the Cave Heaven collapses, all Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures within it shall be destroyed in an instant.

Therefore, after numerous failed attempts to stabilize the Cave Heaven in earlier years, all clans have tacitly adhered to the rules ever since.

Qi Huizu pondered for a few seconds: "If our Human Clan can secure three hundred slots, it would be a significant advantage."

Shangguan Qizheng nodded, even though this time the Cave Heaven appeared between the Human and Demon Clans, allying or subjugating clans from both sides also hold certain numbers, and some slots will inevitably become leverage for alliances.

"The Two Realms Pass has been notably peaceful in the past few decades..." Li Qingzhou slowly spoke: "The Demon Clan is highly likely not to miss this opportunity."

He glanced at the crowd present: "This time among us, let’s not compete for the exploration rights, shall we?"

"Naturally." Zheng Dongliu tapped the table: "If there is a contest, it’s with the Demon Clan.

Moreover, we can’t send inexperienced disciples for training this time, in case there’s a repeat of the situation like the Ruins Cave Heaven besides the Demon Clan."

Everyone knew what Zheng Dongliu meant: the Possession by beings from the Upper Realm and the ’humans’ supposedly living in the Cave Heaven.

This newly emerging Cave Heaven will undoubtedly affect the destiny of both clans.

"This matter is of great importance." Shangguan Qizheng looked at Qi Huizu: "I will go with you to oversee it, how about it?"

Qi Huizu smiled slightly: "That was exactly my intention."

"Old fellow, how many days do you estimate before the Cave Heaven opens?" Zheng Dongliu asked Shangguan Qizheng.

"At the earliest, tomorrow, or the latest, the day after tomorrow." Shangguan Qizheng took a deep breath: "Time is short."

Zheng Dongliu pondered for several seconds before slowly speaking: "Select people based on the three hundred slots, with each of the Five Sects and Seven Schools sending twelve disciples, and the remaining slots going to other sects and the Barbarian Clan."

No one objected to Zheng Dongliu’s allocation, and they each left the hall in turn to contact their sects via the Communication Compass to decide the candidates.

Zheng Dongliu got up and went to the entrance, speaking to Pei Wanyu: "Has Jin’an returned?"

"Not yet..." Pei Wanyu mused, did the Sect Master know that the good disciple had left?

As she was about to ask, Zheng Dongliu continued to speak.

"Then, pass on a message for me." Zheng Dongliu, hands behind his back: "After entering the new Cave Heaven this time, see if you can identify a Possessor, and if possible, leave one alive."
