From the faint pressure emanating from the other person’s body, Yu Dayi was almost certain that she was indeed in the Realm of Unification!
If he had chosen to make a move just now, then it would have been his group that would undoubtedly be dead!
The thought of having narrowly brushed past death made cold sweat immediately break out on Yu Dayi’s forehead.
"This United Federation of All Realms is indeed deceitful beyond measure! To think a mere Golden Core Cultivator would come to trade, and yet there would be Unity Path Experts to enforce presence," Yu Dayi cursed inwardly.
"Thank goodness I was cautious enough!"
Just as he was about to pay his respects to Lin Ling, he saw a green light envelop the two of them.
A moment later, their figures vanished without a trace.
Leaving behind only the people from the Five Elders Organization, who stayed in place with lingering fear in their hearts.
"How did they leave, did any of you see?" Yu Dayi squinted and observed for a while, then turned his head to ask.
"There were no space fluctuations. Even if the escape technique was extremely fast, there should have been some traces left. They disappeared in the blink of an eye..."
The group looked instinctively downward.
"Leylines..." Yu Dayi pondered for a moment, a serious look appearing in his eyes.
Once again traversing through the surging leylines, Lin Ling did not return directly to the Spirit Tree Realm.
Instead, following Li Fan’s gesture, she hurried towards the Sky-spirit State.
Not long ago, Tianyang had sent a message. He had already reached near the Five Elements Great Cave Heaven. 𝔫𝖔𝖛𝖕𝔲𝔟.𝔠𝖔𝖒
So far, no Cultivator of the Alliance of Ten Thousand Immortals has been found guarding the vicinity.
Li Fan asked Tianyang to wait on the side and not to enter hastily.
Half a day later, Lin Ling met up with Li Fan and Tianyang.
Lin Ling was quite curious about Tianyang, who appeared dull-witted.
Yet, Tianyang seemed as if he didn’t notice Lin Ling at all, merely standing quietly beside Li Fan.
Li Fan first observed the surroundings.
The entrance to the Five Elements Great Cave Heaven was still in a state where hardly any cultivators passed by.
"I wonder what triggered it to be discovered," Li Fan thought, but his hands were moving swiftly.
In his sea of consciousness, the Dissociation Disc emitted a shimmering white light.
Li Fan first set up the [One-Handed Sky Shrouding Technique] on the periphery to prevent any leakage of qi. Then quickly established the Infinite Formation Power derived from the Dissociation Disc, sealing the entrance.
In fact, this might seem a bit like trying to hide something only to make it more conspicuous. It could even lead other cultivators to notice the anomaly here...
"Without doing this, the Five Elements Great Cave Heaven would definitely be discovered. With the arrangement, we can at least buy some time,"
"Moreover, with the Infinite Formation Power coupled with the One-Handed Sky Shrouding Technique, I fear that even regular Unity-Path expers, unless they search intentionally and carefully, should also be unable to find it."
"As long as I can delay until my Golden Core reaches perfection and devour it, that will suffice," Li Fan thought. Soon after he finished setting up, he concealed the entrance to the Cave Heaven.
Then he led Lin Ling and Tianyang into the Cave Heaven.
"Eh?" As soon as she entered this Cave Heaven, Lin Ling appeared quite surprised.
She looked towards the Wood Attribute Cave Heaven.
There stood an enormous tree that reached the sky.
If size were the sole criterion, it would probably be even larger than Lin Ling’s own body in the Spirit Tree Realm.
"Is there one of your predecessors there?" Li Fan asked.
Lin Ling looked around for a while, and with some regret, shook her head.

At the same time, there was a strange expression on his face, "According to the elders of the leylines, it has grown so big that it should be able to awaken its own consciousness by now. How odd. Could it be missing something here?"
Upon hearing this, Li Fan was also deep in thought.
"The difference between Cave Heavens and Small Worlds is not just in size. This Five Elements Great Cave Heaven is much more expansive than the Spirit Trees, even more so than Da Xuan and the Rift Realm."
"Yet, it is still merely within the category of a Cave Heaven."
Li Fan carefully recalled his 115th life, when Mr. Bai created a miniature Xuan Huang Realm with his bare hands, contemplating where exactly the specific boundary between Cave Heavens and Small Worlds lay.
After fruitless contemplation, Li Fan could only set the matter aside for the time being.
He didn’t rush to explore the Wood Attribute Cave Heaven first, but instead began to search for traces of other Cave Heavens.
"At this point in time, among the Five Elements, only the Wood Attribute Cave Heaven is visible. The others, Metal, Water, Fire, Earth, are all hidden."
"However, the Cycle of Five Elements is essentially one. I also have the experience of having witnessed the full panorama of a Cave Heaven, so finding them shouldn’t be too difficult."
Li Fan closed his eyes, and his spiritual sense swept through the Wood Attribute Cave Heaven, tracing the changes of the Wood Attribute Spiritual Power in this part of Heaven and Earth.
Before long, he had already discovered the gateways to the Fire and Water Cave Heavens.
But Li Fan did not enter directly.
Rather, he searched for the pathways, and headed toward the space outside where the Five Great Cave Heavens converged.
Unlike the vast routes he had experienced before, this area had not yet been opened up by the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals.
Not only were the pathways cramped and hard to find, but the Void outside the Cave Heavens was also just a thin layer enveloping them.
Li Fan simply used his Melting Furnace of All Forms technique to transform into a Splitting Realm Whale.
This caused the Void to widen just a bit, making it easier to find footing.
After quite some effort, Li Fan finally saw the entire view of the Five Elements Great Cave Heaven once again.
Five rings that seemed to be connected end to end, like a mixed palette of paint.
Because it had not been excessively exploited and excavated by the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals, the Cave Heavens were still vibrant with life.
From afar, overlooking the several Cave Heavens, one could even faintly sense their united and robust aura.
"Tsk tsk, this scene is completely different from the ravaged state I saw before, after the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals had devastated it."
"Yet, I still don’t know what exactly the Alliance did that one time when they mobilized in mass and nearly gutted these Five Elements Cave Heavens."
"However, if I’m forced into a corner in this life, I might have the chance to see it for myself."
Li Fan stayed and observed for a while, then finally flew back into the Wood Attribute Cave Heaven.
In passing, he widened the pathway once more.
Only then did Li Fan and the other two have the opportunity to carefully observe the entire view of the Wood Attribute Cave Heaven.
A huge tree whose canopy occupied nearly one-third of the sky immediately caught their eyes.
It was overwhelmingly oppressive.
Even Lin Ling seemed to feel a bit of discomfort.
Strangely enough, although the Spirit Tree took up most of the space in the Wood Attribute Cave Heaven, it had not eroded the living space of other beings. Instead, it released strands of rich vitality, nurturing everything around.
The closer one was to the Spirit Tree itself, the richer the vitality became, forming a faint green mist.
Countless varieties of different plants vied with one another to flourish.
Even after studying the [Divine Doctor Immortal Tome], Li Fan could not name the majority of them with a single sweep of his gaze.
Thus, Li Fan finally understood what was meant when the Tianxuan Mirror reported on the Wood Attribute Cave Heaven, mentioning that "the Cave Heaven is extremely large, with high Wood Attribute Spiritual Energy, and the variety of spiritual plants and herbs are incredibly abundant."
At this moment, this Cave Heaven belonged to Li Fan!
"Compared to my Five Elements Cave Heaven from the previous life, the resources here are much more abundant. It’s hard to imagine how long the Xuan Huang Realm took to nurture all of this."
