Chapter 979: Ancient Gate, Sudden Suction Force
Editor: Henyee Translations

As the spatial node gradually opened, the view beyond became clear.

Through a thin layer of spatial membrane, everyone could clearly see inside a quaint great hall, atop whose steps stood a massive stone gate radiating an imposing, inviolable authority.

Even the four Mahayana Daolords felt a profound sense of mystery emanating from the gate, stirring a mix of awe and joy in their hearts. After decades of searching in the outer space, their efforts had finally paid off—they had found the entrance to the Immortal’s cave abode.

Everyone held their breath in reverence, too awestruck to speak. Only the Mahayana Daolords continued to channel their Dharmic power steadily, further stabilizing the spatial node.

“It’s done, let’s go!” Daolord Allheaven exclaimed, his voice filled with excitement and urgency. He led his disciples, flying into the now stable spatial node.

The others followed suit, one after another, with their disciples hurrying into the node.

Passing through the spatial membrane, they entered a new space that immediately overwhelmed them with its ancient and majestic aura, as if immortals had just passed through the area.

The hall they entered was extremely austere, devoid of any carvings or decorations, built instead with blocks of meteorites of unknown origins.

At the far end of the hall stood the massive stone gate, simply looking at it evoked visions of the ancient past, filled with a sense of the eternal.

“Immortal’s cave abode! The Ancient Gate!” Daolord Allheaven shouted excitedly upon seeing the gate.

Qin Shenwu and Daolord Divine Shadow exchanged looks and laughed heartily, and even the typically stoic Daolord Infinite couldn’t help but crack a rare smile.

“This stone gate, known as the Ancient Gate, is said to possess the strength of thousands of years and is impervious to any attack. Would anyone like to try their hand at it?” Daolord Allheaven suggested, his tone light and pleased.

With the gate found, there was no longer any rush. They could afford to slowly explore the marvels of the Immortal’s cave abode, and this Ancient Gate was among those wonders.

“Really? If something goes wrong, you can’t blame anyone else,” Daolord Divine Shadow responded with a chuckle.

“Hehe, feel free to try,” Daolord Allheaven replied confidently.

Daolord Divine Shadow seemed ready to take action when suddenly a massive surge of killing intent erupted. The Dao of Infinite, in black and white, materialized, and two extreme sword energies merged and struck towards the Ancient Gate.

This was Daolord Infinite unleashing his full power, a genuine strike from a Mahayana Daolord.

Buzz—

To everyone’s astonishment, this formidable attack was absorbed by the gate without a trace, merely causing a ripple of illusionary fluctuations around it.

Daolord Infinite’s attempt had not even managed to shake the Ancient Gate; such was the power of the Immortal’s cave abode, where even a stone gate could be a treasure akin to an immortal treasure.

“Impressive, let me try too!” Qin Shenwu couldn’t resist the challenge and unleashed a massive five-colored divine palm strike.

Buzz—

After a fierce vibration, the Ancient Gate remained as serene and undisturbed as ever.

Even Daolord Divine Shadow was persuaded to stand down without testing his strength against it. “As expected, it’s as you said, Daolord Allheaven. But how exactly do we open this gate?”

He asked, acknowledging the futility of force. It seemed unlikely that brute strength could open the gate, and neither Divine Shadow Gate nor Infinite Sect had any clues on how to proceed, leaving them to rely on Daolord Allheaven.

Previously, the plan was to sense the opening of the Immortal’s cave abode’s entrance and transfer there using a precious artifact, following Daolord Allheaven. Now, with everyone already here and united, they could simply let Daolord Allheaven take the lead.

“Hehe, of course, we in the Pantheon Sect have our ways,” Daolord Allheaven said with a hint of pride and confidence.

He approached the Ancient Gate, standing with his hands behind his back, while everyone else closely followed, lest he attempt to escape—though such a possibility was unlikely.

In the spirit of common practice among cultivators, Daolord Allheaven didn’t take offense. Without further ado, he pulled out a mysterious treasure from his robe. This spherical object radiated an aura as grand as the hall itself, clearly linked to the master of the Immortal’s cave abode.

Everyone immediately understood that this treasure must have a connection with the master of the Immortal’s cave abode, marveling at how the Pantheon Sect, even after all these years, had managed to find such a key item.

“Prepare yourselves, the Immortal’s cave abode is no trivial matter; it’s fraught with peril. Each of you must fend for yourselves once inside,” Daolord Allheaven said sternly, reminding them that once they entered the Immortal’s cave abode, the alliance between the sects would likely dissolve, and each would be responsible for their own fate.

Nods of understanding were exchanged among the group, each cultivator mentally preparing for the uncertainties ahead.

Without further hesitation, Daolord Allheaven activated the mysterious treasure. A dense, ethereal light instantly emanated from it, casting a luminous glow over the ancient gate.

At that moment, the entire space began to vibrate intensely. Powerful and ancient energies surged forth from the gate as if awakening from a long slumber. The atmosphere around the gate grew tumultuous, and the fabric of space seemed to undulate like ocean waves.

Suddenly, an immense suction force emerged from the gate, pulling everything towards it. A dazzling light burst forth from the gate, overwhelming all other senses.

Jiang Chengxuan quickly moved behind Qin Shenwu with Shen Ruyan, as Qin Shenwu attempted to shield his disciples and allies from the overpowering force.

The energy was so peculiar and strong that it caught everyone off guard. Within a breath, before anyone could fully grasp what was happening, they found themselves being inexorably drawn into the gate.
