No way out!
Nine thousand nine on the Immortal Path!
Never look back!
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
Shen Changqing, listening to the voice in his head, looked back. The purple stairway had vanished, replaced by an abyss stretching for thousands of meters. It seemed that if he took even a single step back, he would be plunged into the depths forever.
"There's no turning back once you enter the path of immortality!"
This text is empty. Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
Shen Changqing chewed on those words repeatedly, as if he were trying to comprehend something.
After a long while.
Shen Changqing's face relaxed.
Just then.
A figure with an unseen face appeared on the platform. Shen Changqing seemed to feel the other person's gaze fixed upon him.
>
"On the path to immortality, there is no retreat. One step back is a chasm of ten thousand feet. If one cannot remain steadfast and cultivate oneself, they will eventually become a handful of dust."
"May I ask, senior, are you the Xuan Emperor"
Shen Changqing cupped his fist and asked.
At the end of the purple ladder, a mysterious figure appeared, making it hard not to think of the Emperor Xuan.
Here is the translation of your content:*** Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
He was just hard to read, a constant haze obscuring his true face. His aura was ethereal, leaving no clues as to what he might be thinking.
The figure slowly said, "The Xuan Emperor is dead, I am the spirit of the World Stone!" "Spirit of the World Stone"
Shen Changqing's expression was puzzled.
The figure, which was also the spirit of the boundary marker, stretched out a finger. Shen Changqing followed the direction of the other's finger and saw that there was a stone tablet in front of him at some point.
The stone tablet is blank.
The atmosphere was chaotic.
The endless rules of Dao resonated, and Shen Changqing just glanced at it, feeling a terrifying force attacking him. He was startled and instinctively shifted his gaze away.
This is the landmark, the core of Xuantian Cave lies here. Back then, when Xuandi was at his dying breath, he separated his own cave as a final refuge for the human race.
Whoever can leave their mark on the stele will become the master of Xuandi Cave.
The voice of the Spirit of the Monument was calm and measured, betraying no hint of emotion.
Milestone!
The core of the Xuandi Cave!
Shen Changqing's eyes narrowed.
He never expected that leaving his mark on the monument would allow him to control the Xuandi Cave.
Thus it seems.
Controlling the Xuan Realm seemed to be much easier than I had imagined.
But...
Shen Changqing knew in his heart that it would definitely not be easy to truly leave his own mark on the boundary stone.
How can one leave their mark on a milestone
"It's simple."
The Spirit of the Monument spoke in a faint, ethereal voice, saying...
"As long as you break through the limits of the Heavenly Cave and step into the rumored realm of the Heavenly Cave, you can leave your own mark on the stele!"
Heaven's Paradise!
Shen Changqing's pupils constricted again.
He suddenly remembered what the generals before him had said.
Everything the ancient Xuan Emperor left behind was prepared for the Cave Heaven Realm prophesied in ancient texts. To rule over the entire Zhongxuan Realm, one naturally needs to step into the Cave Heaven Realm.
Even if someone were lucky enough to step into the Immortal Gate and receive gifts from the Divine General, as long as they haven't truly entered the Cave Heaven Realm, there is no possibility of wielding control over the Profound Realm. Just at this moment.

The Spirit of the Monument said: "This place is shrouded in the power of the ancient Xuandi. Once you enter here, unless you have power comparable to that of the ancient Xuandi, there is no possibility of breaking through."
There are only two ways to leave this place. The first is to leave your own mark on the boundary stone, and the second is to break through the barrier laid down by the Xuan Emperor by force.
Otherwise, you will be forever trapped here until someone leaves their mark on the stele, or their lifespan runs out!
The words of the Spirit of the Monumentary Stone made Shen Changqing's heart sink.
As expected!
It's not that simple to rule over the Xuanjie.
If I cannot leave my mark upon this milestone, then I shall be forever trapped here.
"In ancient times, the Xuan Emperor, when truly thinking with ingenuity!"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
Chen Changqing understood what Xuandi meant after a moment's thought. The Zhongxuan Realm was the foundation left by the opponent for the human race, and it could not be easily taken by others. The Xuandi Cave Heaven could only fall into the hands of the person in the prophecy, and absolutely could not fall into the hands of outsiders.
Even if someone were lucky enough to obtain the Dao Classic and, by sheer chance, activate the Violet Heavenly Ladder, arriving here at just the right time, as long as they haven't stepped into the Cave Heaven Limitless Realm, they cannot truly wield control over the Zhongxuan Realm, nor can they leave this place.
To leave here, you would need the power of an ancient emperor like Xuan Di.
To put it another way.
If there were truly someone with the power of an ancient Xuandi, then whether or not they controlled the Xuanjie would be insignificant.

He took one last, deep look at the monument and then turned his gaze to the spirit residing within it.
Having heard that the Profound Emperor has fallen, where is his remains now
> Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
As the strongest being in all heavens, if a powerhouse like Xuan Di were to fall, there is a high probability that their corpse would remain.
Within Shen Changqing's gaze, he only saw the stele and the spirit of the stele. He did not see the corpse of the Xuan Emperor.
Upon hearing this.
The Spirit of the Monument said, “The Xuan Emperor is everywhere. He manifests as all living beings in the Xuandi Cave Heaven. Consider every blade of grass and tree as an embodiment of the Xuan Emperor.”
"The senior said, is the Xuan Di's body derived from all things"
"Not bad."
Having received a definitive answer from the Spirit of the Stele, Shen Changqing's expression darkened.
All things originate from the body!
Become one with heaven and earth!
Such methods are simply inconceivable.
Shen Changqing thought of many possibilities, but he never expected that Xuandi would actually use himself to derive the myriad creatures of Xuandi Cave.
That way.
Then many things become clear.
Why is the Profound Emperor's Cave Heaven like a real world, complete with all living beings, mountains, rivers, and valleys
This is a test. Let me know if you need anything else translated!
If one says that humankind came from migrating, then naturally other living beings could not have also come from migrating.
Originally, everything within the Profound Realm was transformed from the self-sacrifice of the Profound Emperor. Except for the human race, all things in heaven and earth could be said to be part of the Profound Emperor, but they were not entirely the Profound Emperor himself.
Because countless years have passed, the first generation of beings has long since died.
These subsequent offspring should contain a trace of the Xuan Emperor's bloodline, but they are not true descendants of the Xuan Emperor.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
But whenever Shen Changqing thought about Xuandi deriving all living beings from himself, he couldn't help but be amazed.
Purple qi surges.
A familiar figure emerged from the void. Shen Changqing turned back, his brows involuntarily raising in surprise.
"The Headmaster of the Shenxu Sect"
>
"Um, Shen Zhen Shou..."
The divine void's face visibly paled, and behind him, both Gong Xuantian and Gong Tongtian also changed color.
They didn't expect it.
Shen Changqing would actually be here.
Now.
Several people also received the sound prompt and turned back to look. The purple stairway they had come on had already disappeared, leaving only a vast abyss.
For a true immortal, it wouldn't even be a problem to flatten an entire world if not even an abyss a thousand meters deep.
But when he saw the abyss behind him, Shen Xu's heart suddenly felt a sense of foreboding.
It's like if one were to step into an abyss, they would be plunged into a state of utter ruin.
>
"There are 90,000 miles on the immortal path, never look back once you take a step!"
The deity murmured softly.
He also had a bit of enlightenment at this moment.
Then.
>
Shen Xu looked at the spirit of the boundary marker, and like Shen Changqing, he clasped his fist and asked, "May I ask, senior, who are you"
"I am the spirit of the Milestone!"
"Spirit of the Monument..."
Shenxu's face was filled with confusion. Palace Xuan Tian and Palace Tong Tian, both looked puzzled as well.
The Guardian Spirit recounted the previous words to Shenxu and his companions.
Upon hearing this.
Several people's faces instantly darkened.
"Celestial Realm!"
"If we cannot leave our mark on this monument, will we be forever trapped here"
What is the realm of Heavenly Grottoes, they had never heard of it.
But there is one point.
Shen Xu and others were well aware of this.
They are all true immortals now, even if they understand what the Heavenly Cave's Ultimate Realm is, how can they go back Are they going to abandon their cultivation and start over from scratch
However—
The path to immortality is open!
> Back to the wall!
Now that they have become true immortals, even if they wanted to turn back, there's no way.

For a moment.
Shén Xū and others all revealed expressions of utter despair on their faces.
This moment.
They deeply understood what it meant to be backed into a corner.
"It's impossible! Why is this happening!"
Here's the English translation, keeping the HTML tags as is:

Gong Xuan Tian also had a look of disbelief.
It was supposed to be a momentous opportunity, yet it has turned into a terrible disaster. How could he possibly accept this
There was a moment.
Palace Xuan Tian almost developed a heart demon.
He did not question the truth of the words spoken by the spirit of the obelisk.
As a true immortal, Gong Xuan Tian could clearly perceive the surrounding situation. Under the supreme power of the Emperor Xuan, even a true immortal who had spent his entire life would be unable to break it.
To jump into the abyss will only lead to even more tragic consequences.
Just when Gong Xuan Tian was at his wit's end, he suddenly saw Shen Changqing beside him, and hope immediately surged in his eyes.
"I remember, Shen Zhen shou was a cave heaven, wasn't he"
As soon as he said this.
Shén Xū and Gōng Tōngtiān were both invigorated.
That's right!
>
They are true immortals, no doubt about it. This one in front of us is a genuine cave heaven.
It's just that Shen Changqing's displayed strength was too powerful, causing people like Shen Xu to forget that he was a Dongtian expert, not a true Immortal.
Under the gazes of several people, Shen Changqing nodded slightly: "Not bad, Shen is now just a cave heaven."
“Shen Zhen shou is a cave heaven, can he be sure to step into the realm of the ultimate cave heaven, and take us all out of this place”
The god asked at once,
Although leaving a mark on the stele allows one to control the Xuan Realm.
Now is not the time to be overly concerned.
You cannot leave this place, forever imprisoned here. Everything will be meaningless.
If only I could leave.
Shen Changqing's control of the Zhongxuan Realm, Shen Xu was not unacceptable.
Anyway, now that the Heavenly Dao Sect has surrendered to the Imperial Court, even if the other party takes control of the Zhongxuan Realm, there wouldn't be much change from the current situation.
At most, it's the Imperial Court reaching into the Central Xuan Realm and dividing the foundations of the Five Sects. But such a price, for an eternity imprisoned here, Shen Xu would definitely choose the former.
“Although I am a Dongtian, there is no absolute certainty whether I can truly enter the legendary realm of Dongtian's peak. I can only say that I will give it a try and see if I can succeed.”
Shen Changqing shook his head.
He didn't make any promises.
Though I'm currently not at the Heavenly Cave Realm, there's still a long way to go. To truly complete this journey won't be easy.
However—
Shen Changqing looked towards the location of the stele. He thought back to the visions he had just seen when he first encountered the stele, and his heart understood.

He said that the opportunity to reach the realm of Heavenly Cave Heaven might lie on the boundary marker.
