As Jiang Chengxuan and the others prepared to deal with the aftermath of their confrontation with the chaos beasts, the rest of the Mahayana Daolords were also encountering similar troubles.

Many chaos beasts had merged into terrifying behemoths, wreaking havoc that seemed almost apocalyptic.

Furthermore, the energy within this patch of the cosmos became increasingly turbulent and scorching with each skirmish.

From the massive chaos beast emerged strange energy tendrils that sprouted from the void, quickly morphing into various forms of new chaos creatures. The unstable energy provided an ideal breeding ground for these low-level chaos beings.

“We’ll handle these low-level chaos beasts,” Jiang Chengxuan declared, no longer content to watch from the sidelines. He summoned the Five Elements Diagram, which immediately transformed into a piercing Golden Void Sword that slashed through the newly formed chaos creatures, disintegrating them into dust.

“Five-Color Divine Thunder!”

Inspired by Jiang Chengxuan, Shen Ruyan and the other two also sprang into action, decisively striking down their foes. With their help, Qin Shenwu could concentrate more on battling the enormous Daolord-level chaos beast.

At this moment, this region had truly become the center of a storm in the outer realms, with countless chaos creatures being born and dying in cycles, and the cultivators relentlessly slashing through them.

Represented here were the Haoran Sect, Pantheon Sect, Infinite Sect, and Divine Shadow Gate—collectively embodying the pinnacle of power from the Floodgate Realm.

The battle raged fiercely and continuously for months before finally coming to an end. Although the chaos beasts were troublesome and possessed bizarre abilities, they were ultimately creatures of low intelligence.

Facing them were seasoned Mahayana Daolords, each a powerhouse in their own right, and with the added support from others, the beasts were subdued without excessive difficulty, though they did cause some delays.

After this great battle, the entire region was nearly cleared, looking drastically different from when they had first arrived. What had been a landscape littered with giant meteorites and dead stars was now a flowing river of stardust, spreading everywhere.

“Let’s continue our exploration.”

After a brief rest, Daolord Allheaven glanced around, saw nothing amiss, and once again led the group onward.

Following the intense battle was more monotonous traveling and searching. Each Mahayana Daolord held a treasure capable of detecting spatial anomalies, essential for locating the Immortal’s cave abode within this vast region. Any hint of disturbance, and they would hasten to investigate.

However, searching in this manner was fundamentally a crude method. In the outer realms, spatial fluctuations were commonplace and could be triggered by numerous factors, making their search akin to stumbling in the dark.

Despite this, they had no better alternatives. All they could do was enhance their traveling efficiency and strive to capture any unusual manifestations within those spatial disturbances, which might increase their chances of success.

Yet, finding a specific spatial node in the outer realms was like searching for a needle in a haystack. It was evident that none among them were particularly favored by fortune.

After long years spent exploring countless locations and investigating millions of disturbances, they still had not made significant progress.

What they encountered instead were groups of chaos beasts and outer realm creatures, which they did not hesitate to eliminate, earning them some “travel expenses” to somewhat lighten their spirits.

Decades later, in a certain part of the outer space…

Golden arcs mixed with violent thunderbolts illuminated the chaos, targeting a dark shadow that was obliterated in an instant.

The attackers were none other than Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, and this was not their first encounter with outer realm beasts. For the people of all sects, such encounters had become all too common.

For decades, they had followed the treasure-guided path, chasing spatial nodes everywhere, yet they had still not caught a glimpse of the entrance to the Immortal’s cave abode.

After efficiently dispatching another group of outer realm creatures, Jiang Chengxuan silently pulled out a map and marked another red cross on a certain spot.

The map was densely packed with red markings, each indicating a place they had searched. However, the red areas covered only about a quarter of the entire map, suggesting that if their luck was exceptionally poor, they might need to spend three times as long to ensure finding the entrance to the Immortal’s cave abode.

The situation was frustrating for the Mahayana Daolords, who, despite their enduring patience, couldn’t help feeling a bit despondent.

“Let’s move on. The next node is nearby.”

After clearing the battlefield, Qin Shenwu spoke to Jiang Chengxuan and the others.

Once again, they transformed into streaks of light and flew towards the marked location, where another spatial node awaited them.

Whoosh—

With the Mahayana Daolords’ power, they arrived almost instantaneously.

Before them, a blurry point in the void twisted and turned, distorting the space around it.

“Quickly!” Daolord Allheaven commanded, leading the charge. He unleashed a surge of Dao force, striking the unassuming spatial node directly.

This had become a routine over decades—millions of times they had performed this action, expecting the node to either collapse or dissipate.

However, this time, the spatial node remained unaffected by their attacks, showing no signs of disturbance.

This unexpected stability immediately alerted everyone, snapping them to heightened attention. Nodes that displayed anomalies like this were rare, and such behavior suggested a higher likelihood that this could be the entrance to the Immortal’s cave abode.

“Everyone, join forces now! Open the node quickly!” Daolord Allheaven ordered with a serious tone.

The other Daolords, without a moment of hesitation, combined their efforts. Their formidable Dao forces surged forth in a concert of power that was rare to witness.

The Immortal’s cave abode was known to shift its entrance, so speed was crucial.

Rumble!

The combined assault of the four Mahayana Daolords struck the node, and finally, an anomaly occurred.

The once vague spatial node began to clarify and stabilize, and at the same time, a powerful burst of mysterious energy erupted, countering all their attacks and rendering them ineffective.

At that moment, elation surged across everyone’s faces.

They had finally found the entrance to the Immortal’s cave abode! The discovery was abrupt and exhilarating.

“Continue! Don’t stop now!” urged Daolord Allheaven, as no one hesitated this time.

An even larger and more stable wave of their collective Dao power hammered into the spatial node, gradually depleting the strange energy guarding it.

As the bizarre energy slowly diminished, the spatial node expanded, unfolding like a scroll revealing a grand and mysterious vista beyond.
