Chapter 380: Change of the Five Cave Heavens

"Five Elements Great Cave Heaven…"

This term was too sensitive.

So much so that Lu Xichan subconsciously ignored Huangfu Song's subsequent words.

She pondered for a moment and did not immediately express any stance.

She simply withdrew her gaze from below and, under the watchful eyes of many Cultivators in the Spirit Transformation Stream, transformed into a rainbow light and returned to her resting place.

Huangfu and Oriental, wiping the cold sweat from their foreheads, hurriedly followed.

"Congratulations, Brother Huangfu! Being able to offer suggestions in front of Chief Lu this time, your future is surely boundless!" Oriental Yao sent a voice transmission while flying.

"Spare me that, Oriental. What kind of person is Chief Lu? Would she really need my advice? She's just acting cautiously, so that if there's a backlash in the future, it'll be convenient to push me out as the scapegoat for making the suggestion."

"How could you not see through it?" Huangfu Song snorted, sounding very displeased.

"Brother Huangfu, how many people would jump at the chance to be Chief Lu's scapegoat but never get the Opportunity? Besides, given Chief Lu's character, I don't think she necessarily would…"

"Heh…"

Oriental Yao, feeling snubbed, changed the subject and sighed, "There were rumors before that the struggle between the Dharma Transmitters and the newly ascended Dao Integration experts over the past millennia had reached an extremely intense level. I thought it was just an exaggeration."

"I didn't expect that seeing it today, it's actually true."

Huangfu Song also sighed slightly, "Being forced to take a side today, I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse. If we succeed, we'll naturally enjoy great wealth and status. But if we fail…"

The two looked at each other and said no more.

…

In the Spirit Transformation Stream, after Lu Xichan and the other two left.

Li Fan also followed the large group returning from work and went back to his residence.

When Chief Lu's gaze fell upon him, Li Fan knew she had successfully recognized him.

However, to Li Fan's surprise, after only a slight pause, this Dao Integration expert paid him no more attention.

"I'm your daughter's savior after all; we finally met, and you just leave like that?"

To be honest, Li Fan was somewhat surprised.

But later, noticing the expressions of Huangfu and Oriental, Li Fan knew that perhaps his scheme had not failed.

It was just that when a Dao Integration expert acted, especially one holding a significant position…

…they might have to act with more 'restraint.'

So, maintaining a calm demeanor unaffected by favor or humiliation, he simply waited patiently.

Sure enough, after a day passed and Lu Xichan departed as a rainbow light…

Huangfu Song came to find him.

"A temporary special appointment to go to the Five Elements Great Cave Heaven?"

Hearing the words of the fat man in front of him, Li Fan didn't expect things to go so smoothly this time and couldn't help but feel delighted.

"Congratulations, little friend, you've gotten your wish! The importance of the Five Elements Cave Heaven is among the highest of all the Secret Realms in the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance."

"And due to its special status, the construction of the Tianxuan Locking Spirit Array has also just begun and is still in its initial stages."

"This trip is a great Opportunity for you to showcase your talents."

"If you push a bit harder, you might even be able to compete for the title of rank one on the rankings."

Huangfu Song said with a beaming face and a smile.

Li Fan's expression remained calm: "I must thank Senior for your help. This Junior will certainly keep this kindness in mind!"

Huangfu Song waved his hand: "Nonsense. To be honest, I'm also riding on your coattails this time."

"However, there is one thing I need to remind you of." Huangfu Song's smile faded, and he spoke seriously.

"Oh?" Seeing the other's uncharacteristically serious expression, Li Fan also became solemn.

"Please speak, Senior!"

Huangfu Song said: "Originally, there were other choices for Secret Realms besides the Five Elements Great Cave Heaven. In fact, until just now, Chief Lu was somewhat hesitant about whether to send us to the Five Elements Cave Heaven."

"But something that happened suddenly not long ago changed her mind."

Li Fan's expression turned grave as he waited for him to continue.

"This matter is an absolute secret; currently, only a few people in the entire Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance know about it. Little friend, remember not to spread it."

Huangfu Song first gave a warning, then lowered his voice and said quietly, "The Five Elements Great Cave Heaven is currently located at the border of Tianchen and Tianshu States."

"But do you remember, little friend, where this Five Elements Cave Heaven was originally discovered?"

Li Fan immediately replied: "How could I forget? The Battle of Tianling State can be said to have had an extremely profound impact on the entire Xuanhuang World."

"What do you mean by this, Senior?"

Huangfu Song's gaze was deep, unable to hide the shock within.

He said slowly: "After the Battle of Tianling State, our Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance spent great effort to move the Five Elements Great Cave Heaven back to the heartland, its current location."

"The original site of Tianling State naturally became a void."

"However, three days ago, the Alliance received an emergency report that inexplicable Spiritual Qi fluctuations were coming from that empty void."

"After sending people to investigate, the results were almost unbelievable."

Huangfu Song paused, as if to soothe the shock in his heart.

Then, he continued: "There are five of these Spiritual Qi fluctuations in total."

"After repeated confirmation…"

…those are signs of new cave heavens being born again!"

Hearing this, a sharp light flashed in Li Fan's eyes as he stared intently at Huangfu Song.

"New cave heavens?"

"New Five Elements Cave Heavens?"

His voice trembled slightly, filled with undisguised shock.

Huangfu Song nodded.

"This… how is that possible?" Li Fan was slightly dazed.

With his limited knowledge, the formation of any cave heaven is a matter of chance and the passage of time before it can be born.

That Tianling State could give birth to five cave heavens that complemented each other through the Five Elements was already a miracle among miracles.

After the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance moved the entire Five Elements Great Cave Heaven away…

…new Five Elements Cave Heavens would actually be born in the same place?

"What's happening to the current Five Elements Great Cave Heaven? Have there been any changes?"

Thinking of Huangfu Song's so-called special mission, Li Fan asked immediately, lost in thought.

"There are signs of the Five Elements Returning to One, and it's irreversible." Huangfu Song's tone was somewhat heavy.

"Five Elements Returning to One?" Li Fan slightly frowned.

"Is this a good thing or a bad thing? What will happen after they return to one?" he couldn't help but ask.

Huangfu Song shook his head: "This kind of thing has never happened before. Even Chief Lu herself couldn't hide her surprise and shock when she heard the news."

"However, what is certain for now is that with the Five Elements Returning to One, the current five cave heavens will not completely disappear."

"Instead, they will fuse into a brand-new cave heaven."

"As for whether this cave heaven will undergo a drastic change during the Fusion process, turning from an extremely rich cave heaven teeming with resources into a barren and desolate land, no one can predict."

"Regardless, the plan to build the Lock Spirit Array hasn't changed."

"It happened so suddenly that Chief Lu has already gone ahead to conduct an on-site investigation."

"A specialist will lead us there shortly."
