Chapter 326: The Nine Cauldrons of Destiny, the Mother Qi of Heaven's Mandate

"Mass deaths of Yin Walkers? What kind of big news is this?" Ji Shan glanced at the intelligence report, scoffed, and casually threw it aside.

He knew Qin Muye was in the Netherworld, so he wasn't surprised by anything happening there.

Although he didn't know what his father was up to in the Netherworld, it was definitely not a minor operation.

A while back, he had already received the news that the Xuanjun Seven Chapter Secret Talisman was completed, and he had been diligently cultivating the Nine Cauldrons of Destiny divine ability. This was no small feat. Forget the time it took to learn, just the installation and setup alone required a significant amount of procedures.

Fortunately, he could communicate and seek advice from Qin Muye in a timely manner; otherwise, relying solely on self-study and personal cultivation, it would have taken him at least three to five years to complete.

In his primordial spirit, the nine great cauldrons were evenly distributed across various parts.

He could also feel the Heaven's Mandate being drawn into and agitated by the nine cauldrons. Heaven's Mandate clearly didn't expect Ji Shan to take such an unconventional path, not only discovering it but also attempting to refine it.

Unfortunately, it was too late to escape now. Just like the frog in the slowly heating water, once the water gets hot, it's too late to leave.

Now that the nine cauldrons' shadows had formed, they had created a complete blockade. With Qin Muye watching, the other side would have no choice but to stay, even if they wanted to leave.

At the beginning, Heaven's Mandate was blinded by the innate talent of the Son of Heaven, which is why it made such a foolish move.

Qin Muye at least had the identity of Ji Wuming, but Ji Shan was different; he wasn't even from this world, completely a black market resident. Despite this, Heaven's Mandate still immediately favored Ji Shan. So, it's clear that acting on a whim never ends well, resulting in both loss of wealth and life.

Fortunately, Heaven's Mandate lacks self-awareness and acts only on instinct; otherwise, it might have started cursing by now.

"The final step, just need to let the nine cauldrons connect and refine Heaven's Mandate, and the Nine Cauldrons of Destiny divine ability will be complete." Ji Shan knew this was the most challenging part.

Previously, it was like the frog in the slowly heating water, so there was no direct confrontation with Heaven's Mandate. But now, the frog can't just be eaten whole; at the very least, it needs to be gutted and its organs removed. This is where the danger lies.

The frog is still alive, and if he makes a move, it will resist, and the danger lies in this resistance.

That is, during the refinement process, he might encounter a backlash from Heaven's Mandate.

‘Dad, my divine ability is down to the last step. Can you lend a hand?’

At such a time, Ji Shan naturally wouldn't try to tough it out alone. With family as a backing, he would naturally call for help.

He wasn't some orphanage-born Son of Heaven; his father was a big shot, his grandfather was a giant, and his great-grandfather was even stronger, with uncles and aunts all being giants. He would naturally leverage his family's advantages without hesitation.

If it weren't for the heavy responsibility of being a lucky charm to break the deadlock, he would have wanted to be a spoiled second-generation, given the vast family support, even living a life of idleness would be fine.

Unfortunately, this thought was just a fantasy, as there would always be someone pushing him to work hard.

‘Your efficiency is a bit surprising.’ Qin Muye was a bit surprised; he had expected it to take at least another month to reach the point of refining Heaven's Mandate, but it seemed he had underestimated Ji Shan's cultivation talent.

Indeed, people cannot be compared, and the gap between geniuses and ordinary people is unimaginable.

So, those protagonists with low aptitude who catch up to the top talents probably rely more on resource accumulation rather than genuine cultivation, otherwise, if someone with inferior innate attributes and talent could catch up to the top talents, then who is the top talent?

Someone like Ji Shan is undoubtedly a top talent.

Soon, Ji Shan began to refine Heaven's Mandate, making it his divine ability.

Heaven's Mandate naturally did not give in easily, instead, it struggled fiercely, trying to escape the suppression of the nine cauldrons.

Qin Muye did not intervene, only observing remotely. He was there to ensure the worst didn't happen, not to help.

If Ji Shan couldn't suppress Heaven's Mandate and it escaped, he would step in to capture it. However, if Ji Shan and Heaven's Mandate were evenly matched and locked in a stalemate, Qin Muye would not intervene.

He didn't need these experiences because Qin Muye's strength increased through transformation and mutation.

But Ji Shan was different; he was a traditional cultivator, so he needed sufficient training to reach his full potential, otherwise, his future achievements would be limited.

Indeed, Qin Muye could protect Ji Shan, his adopted son, for his entire life, but Ji Shan could not become a pampered flower in a greenhouse. He at least needed to stand on his own, or else, if Qin Muye were to meet an unfortunate end, Ji Shan would suffer.

After eighteen years of living together, Qin Muye truly treated Ji Shan as his own son, not just as a tool to break the deadlock.

He valued Ji Shan as much as he valued the spirits, whom he considered his extended family.

Therefore, the necessary trials and tribulations were absolutely essential.

Compared to others, Qin Muye's transformation and mutation were akin to brute force breaking all laws. If he could fight, he would fight; if he couldn't, he wouldn't. Training and experience were not as important. He focused on learning and researching, obtaining more experimental results, and enhancing his body, which naturally led to a rapid increase in strength, even to the point of achieving a breakthrough overnight.

‘Not bad. It seems you have put in a lot of effort recently. Otherwise, without such a solid foundation, it would have been difficult to refine the Heaven's Mandate. However, you were a bit too aggressive. If you had prepared for another month, you could have refined the Heaven's Mandate successfully without needing my backup.’

The entire process of refining the Heaven's Mandate went smoothly for Ji Shan, though the Heaven's Mandate did resist, Ji Shan managed to suppress it. If it hadn't resisted, that would have been abnormal.

‘I’m not you. You like to play it safe, but I prefer to seize the opportunity,’ Ji Shan said.

While Ji Shan's personality was very similar to Qin Muye's, it was not identical. Ji Shan had his own way of handling things, not just copying Qin Muye's survival tactics.

In terms of education, Qin Muye was quite skilled. With his learning ability, he could guide Ji Shan onto a bright path.

Talent was one thing, but personality and mindset were another.

The protagonists who caught up to the top talents not only had sufficient resources but also had the right personality and mindset. Otherwise, they would have been killed long ago without the protagonist's aura, just by acting recklessly.

‘You need to seize the opportunity well. Don’t come crying to me if someone beats you up one day,’ Qin Muye teased.

Indeed, if such a situation were to arise, Ji Shan would not hesitate to call for his father's help instead of toughing it out.

‘Ha, rest assured, I’ll call for help before I get beaten up,’ Ji Shan laughed coldly. He didn’t look like a fool and certainly wouldn’t wait until he was beaten to call for help. He would call for help before it even happened.

‘You have a bit of my style when it comes to shamelessness,’ Qin Muye was very pleased. Being shameless helped one live longer, as the saying goes, good people don’t live long, but troublemakers last for a thousand years.

‘I thought I had learned the essence of your teachings, but it turns out I only have a third of your style. Looks like the gap between Dad and me is quite significant,’ Ji Shan was surprised and then fell silent. Indeed, the old fox was still the old fox.

Qin Muye, who cared nothing for public opinion, face, or appearance, had no other significant flaws besides being petty and argumentative. Oh, and he would flip the table if he couldn’t win an argument.

Over the years, Ji Shan had seen enough to understand Qin Muye's nature.

‘Stop being a smart aleck. Finish up quickly. The divine ability should be almost complete. We can talk more once you’ve mastered it,’ Qin Muye soon withdrew his gaze from Ji Shan and returned to the Netherworld.

Ji Shan knew that Qin Muye had left.

He then refocused his attention on the nine shining cauldrons within his body.

“Nine Cauldrons of Destiny? Using Heaven's Mandate as the material, it is indeed an extraordinary divine ability.”

When the final stroke connected, the Nine Cauldrons of Destiny divine ability was successfully completed, and he gained a new talent.

【Heaven's Mandate Mother Qi: Qi Rank +1】

“Heaven's Mandate as the catalyst, the Nine Cauldrons can evolve various Qi. Truly a wondrous method.”

Called Heaven's Mandate Mother Qi, it could be referred to as the ancestor of myriad Qi. Using the Nine Cauldrons of Destiny, he could create various unique Qi for his cultivation, thus removing any limitations on the path of a Qi cultivator.

It could even produce various magical effects and powerful divine abilities.

“Indeed, my dad is always my dad.” Ji Shan couldn’t help but marvel. It was no wonder that a divine ability comparable to the Xuanjun Seven Chapter Secret Talisman, which could reverse life and death, was so powerful.

This divine ability supplemented his external environmental issues.
