Chapter 509: Cauldron Spirit
Chapter 509: Cauldron Spirit
Heaven Origin City.
Inside the cave mansion.
Fang Xing, with a blank expression, took out a Ten Thousand Year Spirit Herb and tossed it into the Ten Thousand Transformation Cauldron.
Breaking through the Great Vehicle Stage was a formidable challenge for any cultivator, no less daunting than the Dragon Gate Leap.
Furthermore, after the breakthrough, if one's condition wasn't optimal, they would need some pills to restore their state.
Fortunately, he still had some of the Ten Thousand Year Spirit Herb left, so he planned to refine several types of pills rumored to be beneficial for Great Vehicle cultivators in restoring spiritual power and healing injuries.
Even if they weren't needed, it was always better to be prepared.
To be blunt, Fang Xing's cultivation in this clone was entirely supported by pills!
As such, he was highly skilled in pill refinement, and could be considered a rare grandmaster in the cultivation world.
Even when refining pills for the Great Vehicle Stage, he remained confident.
Fang Xing skillfully controlled the heat, and the Ten Thousand Transformation Divine Flame within the cauldron moved as if it were an extension of his own arm, allowing him to manipulate it with ease.
When the room was filled with the fragrance of pills, he executed several Pill Collection Incantations in succession, but suddenly his expression changed, "Huh?"
To his surprise, the originally lifeless Ten Thousand Transformation Cauldron began to rumble!
An unusual vibration emerged, causing the several pills that had already taken shape in the furnace to be ruined!
At this moment, Fang Xing couldn't care less about those few pills. He executed a technique, shrinking the cauldron and holding it in his hand, "Old buddy...what are you...sensing?"
After all these years, he had already refined the cauldron to a large extent, and through it, he could vaguely sense a call from a certain direction.
"Could this be...the Cauldron Spirit?"
Fang Xing's gaze deepened.
The Ten Thousand Transformation Cauldron was incomplete, missing only its spirit. He had initially guessed that it had been taken to the Upper Realm.
But he had thought it was in the Demon World or the Monster World...never expecting it to be in the Spirit Realm!
"That's not right!"
"Now that the Three Realms are converging, could it be that the Demon Clan or the Monster Clan...has brought the Cauldron Spirit to the Spirit Realm in advance?"
Holding the cauldron, Fang Xing silently sensed again, and a cold expression appeared on his face, "It's still moving towards me, truly bold..."
The innate nature of Immortal Mansion Treasures was to yearn for completeness. Therefore, not only could the cauldron sense the spirit, but the spirit could also sense the cauldron!
...
"That direction is...Heaven Origin City?"
Tian Ge looked at the 'Demon Spirit Cauldron' in his hand, his face showing a hint of surprise, "This treasure is said to be from the Lower Realm...but now it seems that a part of it has been brought to the Upper Realm? Haha...this is truly a treasure delivery, isn't it better than blood sacrificing a few Fusion Stage cultivators?"
Moreover, Heaven Origin City was a city for loose cultivators, and there wasn't a single Great Vehicle cultivator there!
—The news about Fang Xing was so embarrassing that it was kept top-secret, with only a handful of high-ranking humans knowing that he was in secluded cultivation in Heaven Origin City.
Tian Ge, of course, had no idea.
He immediately flew towards Heaven Origin City.
...
Whoosh!
The demon light's speed was incredibly fast, but after traveling half the distance, Tian Ge suddenly stopped, his expression odd, "It's out...and in my direction, haha, could it be that the human cultivator thinks he can kill and rob me?"
"Go!"
However, he wasn't stupid. He bit off a finger and chewed it vigorously before spitting it out.
The clump of blood quickly transformed into a winged, big-eyed demon creature, flying towards Fang Xing.
Using this technique, he could see and sense everything the demon eye saw!
It was the perfect opportunity to observe if it was a trap!
In the direction of Heaven Origin City.
Fang Xing flew leisurely, focusing on controlling his speed, fearing that if he went too fast, he might scare the other party away.
After an unknown amount of time, he saw a winged, big-eyed demon creature.
"Oh, not bad..."
In the void, the Rusty Iron Sword suddenly appeared, and with a single strike, it pierced through the eye demon creature!
"Oh no!"
At the same time, Tian Ge's expression changed, "That person...seems to be the rumored ascended cultivator who struck the Nine Fragrance Palace's mountain!"
His face turned grim, and a 'Great Teleportation Talisman' appeared in his hand. He bit his tongue and sprayed a mouthful of blood onto it, desperately activating it without regard for cost.
But in the next instant, Fang Xing, who had already estimated the distance between them and determined the timing, appeared in front of Tian Ge with a single teleportation.
"What?"
Tian Ge's eyes widened, seemingly unable to imagine that an enemy who was so far away just a moment ago had instantly appeared before him!
Fang Xing chuckled, "Playing with teleportation in front of me?"
There needed to be a certain gap between teleportations, and his teleportation had its limits.
Therefore, he gradually shortened the distance between them, and when the time was right, he launched a sudden attack.
Otherwise, Tian Ge might have been able to escape using the Great Teleportation Talisman during those few moments of teleportation.
But Fang Xing merely extended his hand.
His finger became ethereal, as if penetrating the Void Layer and the Illusion Layer...directly pointing at the spatial coordinates originally set by the Great Teleportation Talisman.
A force of space manifested, destroying those coordinates.
Whoosh!
The Great Teleportation Talisman, wrapped in blood, ignited on its own, and then nothing happened...
Tian Ge stood frozen, almost believing that the Demon Ancestor was trying to harm him, and the life-saving item given to him was fake!
But he didn't have time to feel indignant, as a sword light had already descended before him.
Everything could be summed up in one word—fast!
It was no longer just lightning-quick, but a direct sword thrust to the forehead!
If not for the difficulty of piercing through the demon's body with the Void Flying Sword Technique, Fang Xing would have gladly performed an 'Internal Sword Explosion Technique'!
"Ah!"
Tian Ge's eyes turned crimson, and a patch of pitch-black scales appeared on his forehead.
At the same time, numerous black scales emerged from his body, forming a grotesque-looking Demon Armor filled with demonic energy!
Hss! The highly condensed sword aura erupted, barely breaking through the Demon Armor, and then slashed across Tian Ge's nose, lips, and chest, leaving a bloody line...
It felt like if the sword had gone a few inches deeper, it would have gutted him.
But in the end, it was just a hair's breadth away.
Tian Ge retreated dozens of miles, and only then did Fang Xing's voice reach his ears: "You're not bad... Your physique is even close to that of a Great Sage... Otherwise, you would have died from that first sword strike."
Fang Xing had to admit that his combat strength had increased so much that it even surpassed his current cultivation level.
This was, of course, due to the existence of his true self.
Because of this, the Rusty Iron Sword and Purple-Green Divine Flame seemed somewhat inadequate.
Read the flawless version at 69shu! 6 = 9 + shu_bar first release of this novel.
In fact, these two techniques were already considered killer moves among Fusion Stage cultivators.
"If this demon wasn't killed, it would have eventually advanced to the Great Sage stage."
Fang Xing didn't hold back his praise for someone who could survive his sword strike.
"You're just a fully cultivated Fusion Stage cultivator."
Tian Ge roared, forming hand seals, and black lights appeared, transforming into twelve black coffins.
Boom! Boom! The black coffins exploded one after another, revealing twelve refined corpses, all of which were extremely ferocious demon corpses.
At the same time, he struck a spell on the Demon Spirit Cauldron, causing it to tilt and spill a sea of blood that covered everything within a thousand miles.
The sea of blood and the demon corpses seemed to complement each other, forming a Demon Dao Formation.
"Heavenly Demon Blood Transformation, One Strike to Take a Life."
Tian Ge muttered, extending his hands to grab a dark red demon blade from the Demon Spirit Cauldron.
Countless ancient talismans appeared, surrounding him and the demon blade, creating an awe-inspiring scene that even reached the level of a Great Sage!
"Ten Thousand Transformation Cauldron... The power of creation is not meant to be used like this."
Fang Xing shook his head and flicked his sleeve.
Roar!
The Purple-Green Divine Flame expanded ferociously, burning the sea of blood, and maintaining a clear area within the infinite sea.
Then, twelve Purple-Green Fire Dragons appeared, attacking the hidden demon corpses in the sea of blood.
The Rusty Iron Sword roared as it flew into Fang Xing's hand, emitting an unimaginable dazzling sword light that clashed with the demon's blade!
Clang!
The sword light and blade aura intertwined, and the aftermath shattered the space within a thousand miles.
Then, Fang Xing's sword light changed, and a lotus flower appeared on the tip of his sword.
Lotus Birth Sword! Although the lotus was illusory, it carried a golden and silver hue, as if infused with a hint of spatiotemporal fusion power!
"This is..."
As Tian Ge watched his Heavenly Demon Blood Transformation blade light being defeated, his expression changed: "Not good!"
But in an instant, the sword lotus fell on his body and slowly bloomed.
As the flow of time around him accelerated, the wound left by the sword strike seemed to rapidly deteriorate and expand...
Pfft!
A head dropped from the sky.
Fang Xing sheathed the Rusty Iron Sword and exclaimed: "What a powerful demon, it could even entangle a Great Sage..."
Unfortunately, even under his sword technique empowered by the Temporal Lotus, the demon still perished, body and soul destroyed!
With the master dead, the sea of blood and demon corpses all came to a halt.
In mid-air, the 'Demon Spirit Cauldron' fell, and Fang Xing caught it with one hand.
"Using demon techniques to refine the cauldron spirit? And you even specially crafted a demon cauldron?"
He shook his head and opened his mouth.
A purple-green fire line landed on the Demon Spirit Cauldron, and the Purple-Green Divine Flame instantly enveloped and ignited it.
At the same time, the sword light retracted, bringing back the demon's storage treasure.
Fang Xing took it and scanned it with his spiritual sense, then suddenly paused, taking out a string of blood-red life tokens.
Among them were several extraordinary ones, clearly belonging to Fusion Stage cultivators.
"So many humans secretly pledging loyalty to the demons? And they even had their souls split and restrictions planted?"
"Forget it, cowards are everywhere, it's not a big deal. I'll leave it to Ji Ruzong and the others to deal with later."
Fang Xing sighed and continued to inspect the other spoils of war.
About an incense stick's worth of time later, the purple-green flames in the sky gradually dissipated, and a somewhat illusory cauldron shadow appeared.
The cauldron was bronze, but its surface was covered in blood light.
"What a waste, but fortunately, the Ten Thousand Transformation Divine Flame is enough to purify the blood sacrifice power..."
Fang Xing took out the Ten Thousand Transformation Cauldron, and the cauldron spirit immediately pounced on it, merging with the cauldron and undergoing mysterious changes.
"Not bad, the law governing this Ten Thousand Transformation Cauldron is profound and is an important part of the 'Great Dao of Creation'... After completing it, it can be considered a top-tier Imperial Armament."
This kind of Imperial Armament would be considered a treasure even for Lawmaster Realm masters!
