Grotto-heaven

Prior to this, only True Man He of the Star Luo Pill Pavilion, Su Bai, and some Heavenly Star Alliance Senior Leadership were at least at the Nascent Soul Realm stage were allowed to enter and exit Tian Xing Platform to meet with the Old Ancestor Heavenly Star.

The gathering that preceded this Dao Discussion Convention, which could perhaps be considered a mobilization, involved the almost complete opening of the Tian Xing Platform.

This shows how much the Old Ancestor Heavenly Star valued this Dao Discussion Convention.

This time, however, Su Bai did not see the Old Ancestor Heavenly Star; instead, another high-ranking member at the Nascent Soul Middle Stage appeared.

Heavenly Law Ancestor

His wide, snow-white Daoist Robe fluttered in the wind beneath the Star Gazing Platform amidst the Tian Xing.

His face looked older than any of the Cultivator Su Bai had ever seen before, yet his Essence, Qi, and Spirit were clearly those of a vigorous young man.

Su Bai couldn't see through it at all.

This person is also a direct descendant of the Old Ancestor Heavenly Star.

However, he rarely appears in Heavenly Star City, but frequently travels between the Demon Star Sea and other Cultivation World.

Rumor has it that they are helping the Old Ancestor Heavenly Star collect some rare treasures.

Su Bai knew nothing more about this Heavenly Law Ancestor.

The Nascent Soul Realm stage is extremely rare, and apart from the Ancestor Tian Xing he has had more recent contact with, Su Bai rarely encounters the Nascent Soul Old Ancestor of the major Lineage in Heavenly Star City.

At this moment, the Heavenly Law Ancestor stood at the same height as the other Cultivator on the Star Gazing Platform, looking at them with a solemn expression.

"The strength of the South Sea Nine Islands at this Dao Discussion Convention should not be underestimated."

"Old Ancestor Heavenly Star has recently gained some insights into his cultivation, so I will lead you to participate in the Dao Discussion Convention and to prepare for the final four months of battle together."

Su Bai originally only intended to make a brief appearance.

But the last sentence spoken by the Heavenly Law Ancestor made Su Bai pause slightly.

Preparing together?

Not only Su Bai, but everyone present was slightly taken aback and began to discuss among themselves, inevitably creating a noisy atmosphere.

A bold young Foundation Establishment Cultivator asked directly, "Preparing together means we're all preparing for the Dao Discussion Convention together?"

Generally, this kind of preparation is done in private, focusing on honing one's own Divine Ability, or by going into seclusion to improve one's cultivation.

If they were all gathered together, even the most Abundant Spiritual Qi Treasured Land would turn into a chaotic mess.

Therefore, even if Nascent Soul Old Ancestor said such a thing, it would inevitably cause a stir and raise questions.

Su Bai chose a spot in the crowd this time, keeping his aura low-key and not attracting much attention.

Unexpectedly, a hand patted him on the shoulder.

Looking closer, it turned out to be Lu Ming from the Ministry of Justice.

"Jiu'er, you didn't expect this, did you? I'm also participating in this Dao Discussion Convention."

Su Bai really hadn't expected this.

It is said that this Dao Discussion Convention is divided into several rounds, with the most important round being the allocation of opponents according to their major cultivation levels.

Given Lu Ming's Combat Power when he first entered the Golden Core Stage a few years ago, he probably wouldn't participate.

Seemingly sensing Su Bai's doubt, Lu Ming shook his head and said, "Alas, there are only three spots available in the Xingtai Nine Offices."

Two of them were naturally taken by those two Late Golden Core cultivators.

"The remaining people didn't seem to have any interest in this Dao Discussion Convention."

"I heard that this Dao Discussion Convention would last for six months, so I came."

After listening, Su Bai understood.

Since becoming a judge, he has become even busier and wants to take a six-month break through this Dao Discussion Convention.

This serious Dao Discussion Convention was treated like a tourist attraction by this person.

Su Bai was both amused and exasperated.

This mindset might just lead to some success.

The Heavenly Law Ancestor watched the crowd discuss, his aged face merely offering a faint smile, without offering any explanation.

Instead, with a wave of his sleeve, a terrifying surge of Spiritual Power suddenly spread throughout the Star Gazing Platform.

None of the people present felt any pressure.

But then, an irregularly Fang Yuan Spatial Rift suddenly appeared ahead, and a strange aura emanated from within it.

It was like another world.

Those Lineage members with some knowledge present couldn't help but exclaim, "Lesser Cave Heaven!"

What is a "Lesser Cave Heaven"?

Upon hearing this exclamation, most of those present were completely bewildered. They simply stared at the Spatial Rift, which resembled the gaping maw of a colossal abyss beast, and felt a chill run down their spines.

Su Bai had heard of the Lesser Cave Heaven.

The so-called "Lesser Cave Heaven" is somewhat similar to the Secret Realm, except that Secret Realm is a sealed space formed by special means or naturally.

Although it's under lockdown, it still belongs to this world.

But the Lesser Cave Heaven is a sealed-off space, an independent entity separate from the rest of the world...

Legend has it that some highly skilled cultivators can use unpredictable methods to capture such Lesser Cave Heaven and bind them directly to their own hands.

The entrance to the inner Grotto-Heaven can be opened anytime, anywhere.

"Those who wish to join me in preparing for battle, please come in."

Without saying anything more, the Heavenly Law Ancestor took the lead and disappeared into the Spatial Rift like an ink droplet or water, vanishing in an instant.

The moment the snow-white Daoist Robe disappeared.

The atmosphere of hesitation that had previously permeated the Star Gazing Platform due to the rumors of the "Lesser Cave Heaven" gradually dissipated.

A young Foundation Establishment Cultivator, dressed in Black Martial Outfit and with a sharp glint in his eyes, stepped out from the crowd and entered the crevice.

It was the same person who had asked the question earlier.

You could see that his entire body had transformed into a streak of light, and then disappeared into the depths of the crack.

Initially, when the crowd saw the Spatial Rift that resembled the bloody maw of a giant beast, they hesitated slightly.

Now that someone has taken the lead, the rest will follow like a floodgate being opened.

Upon seeing this, the hesitant Cultivator put aside their doubts and, one after another, plunged into the deep crevice.

Since they are high-ranking members of the Heavenly Star Alliance, Nascent Soul Old Ancestor, they naturally wouldn't act rashly. It wouldn't be too late to go in and take a look before making a decision.

"Walk?"

Lu Ming, standing beside him, gently nudged Su Bai with his shoulder.

His demeanor was relaxed, rather than as if he were preparing for a serious debate.

"Such a wondrous place is something you might never encounter again in your lifetime." His words carried the casualness of someone on a leisurely trip.

Su Bai didn't say much either.

Immediately, a surge of Spiritual Power welled up within him, transforming into a streak of lightning as he stepped into the constantly twisting and shifting crack.

Following closely behind the crowd.

The feeling of passing through the crack was somewhat strange. The expected tearing sensation from the Spatial Turbulence did not occur.

It was as if I had passed through a cool, invisible, and intangible curtain of water.

The brief feeling of weightlessness vanished in an instant, and soon my feet were on a solid and strange "ground".

Wait until the scene before you becomes clear.

Even with Su Bai's calm and composed nature, a very subtle hint of surprise flashed across his eyes.

The figure of the young Cultivator in Black Martial Outfit who had stepped into the crevice one step before him.

And Lu Ming, who had just been smiling and talking beside him, had also vanished without a trace.

Looking around, there was clearly no one in sight.

The deep, boundless darkness forms the background of this space, yet this background is not entirely black.

The faint starlight, like scattered points of light that are out of reach, spread out against this pitch-black background.

Looking down at my feet, it was still like Void.

Within this space, Su Bai could feel a sense of familiarity.

This familiarity was precisely the vast Star Power that flashed in the eyes of the Old Ancestor Heavenly Star when they first met.

The visual shock of entering the Grotto-Heaven of the Heavenly Law Ancestor had not yet dissipated.

Another, more direct feeling quietly appeared around Su Bai.

An indescribable, pure Spiritual Qi, utterly docile.

It silently enveloped the space around Su Bai.

Its purity and richness far surpass any other place in Heavenly Star City where Spiritual Qi gathers.

Even in those renowned cultivation Secret Realm, it might not be as good as...
