"Ah! My eyes!"

"I... I can't see!"

The intense light made it almost impossible for Zhang Menglong to open his eyes, let alone the other ordinary Heavenly Prides. Some who were slightly weaker even felt a burning pain in their eyes.

"Damn, fortunately, I wore sunglasses!" Zhang Menglong fumbled around on his body and pulled out a pair of sunglasses to wear. The scene before him slowly became clearer, at least it wasn't as blinding as before.

At that moment, where the crystal ball hovered, a gigantic mirage appeared, stretching for thousands of miles. Everywhere they looked was filled with these fantastical ancient relics, so realistic that it was hard to tell illusion from reality on this plain.

"Is this the Ancient Cave Heaven?" Zhang Menglong's mouth opened into an 'O' shape. "It must be huge to nurture these eighteen superpowers; this must be a place full of legends!"

Upon first glance, there were mountains, rivers, valleys, plains, and Zhang Menglong could even vaguely see places resembling city ruins.

"What was that?" Zhang Menglong suddenly felt a phantom swiftly pass by in front of him. He didn't even see what it was and couldn't find its trace. This speed was even faster than ordinary Divine Cultivation Realm experts!

"This isn't a completely forgotten world..." Zhang Menglong muttered to himself.

According to Long Sen and Lin Yuan, this should have been a dead world already, but obviously, if this is the connection to the Ancient Cave Heaven, it means there are creatures existing there, perhaps quite a number!

"That Floating Island?" Zhang Menglong now noticed that where the crystal hovered, a floating island appeared. He was certain this Floating Island wasn't a phantom but actually existed, appearing to be the entrance to the Ancient Cave Heaven.

"How are you?"

At this time, Long Sen and Lin Yuan slowly opened their eyes.

"Alright, just a bit stingy, I almost thought I'd blind!" Lin Yuan rubbed his eyes.

"No need to worry!" An Elder from the Divine Profound Hall spoke, "It's normal for some to experience temporary eye pain or dryness, even blindness. Those with the means can use medicine to alleviate it; if not, resting for a while will be fine, though it might take more time."

"I can't see!" Long Sen touched Zhang Menglong's chest like a blind man.

"Get lost!" Zhang Menglong pushed him away.

"I can't even see, yet you treat me this way!" Long Sen said, feeling wronged.

"Use this!" Zhang Menglong tossed over a bottle of eye drops. "Drop it in your eyes!"

"Haha, I knew Brother Zhang had a way!" Long Sen immediately changed his expression and dropped the eye medicine in his eyes. Of course, it wasn't an ordinary eye drop; it was a potion Zhang Menglong refined in his free time, effective against the damage from such strong light.

Soon, Long Sen's vision began to see some blurred shadows.

As others regained their sight, exclamations began to ring out one after another.

"Now, let me explain the rules for this test!" That Elder from the Divine Profound Hall, evidently highly esteemed, spoke without interruption from other superpowers, except for the three Elders and disciples from the Sunset Sect who looked at them with disdain but did not interrupt. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

"Ancient Cave Heaven is the birthplace of our eighteen superpowers. Although there's no humans now in this world full of Spiritual Energy, it's filled with opportunities, yet a restriction has been left behind, allowing only those below the Divine Cultivation Realm to enter!"

"That's how it is!" Lin Yuan and Zhang Menglong exchanged a glance. No wonder they were willing to share such a place – not because they didn't want to search for treasures and inheritances from the Ancient Cave Heaven, but simply because they couldn't!

"From now on, you'll enter and encounter various surprises. All your gains will be directly linked to the Heavenly Prides ranking, eventually recruiting those ranked at the top. Do you understand?"

"Sounds pretty easy." Long Sen said, "It's purely treasure hunting rather than mutual killing, much more peaceful. But who knows what other dangers lurk here."

"Of course, opportunities always come with danger," hearing Long Sen's words, the Elder continued, "According to our rough understanding, many creatures from that era still survive here, and even in some legacy ruins, danger is omnipresent. If you're afraid of dying, you can give up the test and leave."

After saying this, the Elder paused for five minutes, as if giving people a chance to reconsider.

"Great, seems no one wants to give up. Once entered, you won't be able to leave until three months later. Even if you face danger, no one can help you!"

"Elder, let's begin, we're not cowards here!" a young man spoke.

Indeed, despite the immense danger, they were already here. Some carried hopes of family and country; others had their own dreams – all had reasons to strive forward.

"Since that's the case," the Elder smiled, "let's start, but not everyone can smoothly enter the Ancient Cave Heaven. Just step onto this Floating Island, and you can enter anytime!"

After speaking, the Elders from superpowers all landed on the edge of the Floating Island, with their disciples setting up small tents, ready to wait for three months.

"This..." Everyone was somewhat at a loss – the Elder mysteriously explained the rules and just sat down, shouldn't there be someone to host?

"Merely a Floating Island, can't we fly?" A young man with strong self-confidence stepped out, "Since everyone's being humble, let me go first and pave the way!"

The young man jumped, and a pair of wings formed by Divine Breath energy appeared behind him!

"Damn? Dou Qi manifesting wings? Battle King expert?" Zhang Menglong blurted out.

"I know him, he's ranked 271 on the Heavenly Prides list," Lin Yuan said, "He's a prince of the Empire Lou Luo, Seventh Grade Divine Breath realm, quite powerful, seems he wants to be the trailblazer."

"Don't know what's mysterious about this Floating Island," Long Sen was a bit puzzled, "This height is just tens of thousands of meters; ordinary Fourth Grade Divine Breath can ascend, Sixth Grade and above can basically fly freely – is this considered a test?"

"Look, he's falling!" While the crowd was bewildered, the prince of Lou Luo Empire suddenly plummeted from the sky.

His expression showed he was trying hard to control his descent, but only when he was within five hundred meters of the ground did he regain control of his body.

He immediately gathered energy to slow down, and with a spurt of dust, he finally landed smoothly.

"This island is peculiar!"
