As he said this, astonishment finally appeared in the Xiao Family Head's eyes. A Three-Star Ancestral God's cave abode that had yet to be fully explored...
Never mind Xiao Mingxuan and the other half-step True Gods.
Even heaven and earth True Gods like themselves would almost certainly die if they entered.
Only fellow Ancestral Gods might be able to venture inside and explore a little, and even then, the risks would be considerable.
Ever since the Origin World shattered, many Ancestral Gods had come to Heavensea. Quite a few had even moved their cave abodes there, and after those Ancestral Gods fell, their cave abodes stood empty.
The treasures within cave abodes left behind by Ancestral Gods were beyond question, but so were their immense dangers. Thus, such cave abodes were not uncommon in Heavensea... Yet whenever one was discovered, even heaven and earth True Gods were unqualified to explore it, let alone half-step True Gods.
Only eternal True Gods barely qualified to enter.
This was precisely what astonished the Xiao Family Head.
First of all, a cave abode that had yet to be fully explored... was far too dangerous for half-step True Gods! Forget venturing deep inside—even lingering on its outskirts could get them killed.
One had to understand.
Many Ancestral Gods were accustomed to raising Insect Beasts within their cave abodes. These Insect Beasts were often terrifyingly powerful. As they slaughtered one another and advanced over countless generations, some could even rival eternal True Gods.
Ancestral Gods did this partly to expand their means of combat, and partly to defend their cave abodes. If a powerful enemy truly came to attack...
These Insect Beasts alone could hold them off for a while.
Beyond that, in theory... half-step True Gods had absolutely no business exploring such a cave abode.
