A Mortal’s Journey to Immortality: Wang Yu’s Rebirth as the Reincarnation Dao Ancestor - Chapter 203

Chapter 199 Retrieving the Cauldron (plus 211)

“My husband said that the Gold-Eating Insects can devour anything, making them perfect for countering energy-type formations.”

The thought of potentially using these Gold-Eating Insects to break through the formation’s restrictions filled Yuan Yao with joy.

Such a large amount of incredibly pure spiritual energy could purify her internal magic power and true essence to an unbelievable degree. This would make her future process of shattering her core and condensing her nascent soul much easier.

Furthermore, her cultivation would undoubtedly improve significantly.

And then there was the Spirit Eye Tree, one of the legendary three divine trees.

“Is my husband giving me this opportunity to support my nascent soul condensation?”

“Or is it that my husband risked entering the inner hall for me and my senior sister?”

Even though there were only a few possibilities, wasn’t that enough?

Being entrusted with such high hopes, Yuan Yao felt a sense of pressure.

She then thought of more things.

“The situation in the Chaotic Star Sea is now treacherous. Even Core Formation cultivators, no longer considered experts, can only drift with the tide. Even those in the late Core Formation stage, if they encounter any Nascent Soul elder, will be manipulated and rendered powerless.” The barbarian’s

previous methods were still vivid in his mind.

“My husband is helpless alone, forced to contend with a group of Nascent Soul elders…”

“If I want to help my husband, I must condense my Nascent Soul as soon as possible.”

Core Formation is no longer enough.

If he possessed Madam Wen’s Nascent Soul cultivation and strength, his husband would have a powerful ally on this trip to the inner palace. Why bother with those vicious and cruel demonic elders?

Power.

My senior sister and I are still too lacking in power.

Whether for ourselves or for each other’s future, she cannot let anyone down.

Sometimes, even a small feeling can be a catalyst for growth, a resource for spiritual transformation.

“Go!”

A

swarm of Gold-Eating Insects swarmed out, attacking the array barrier and beginning to tear and devour it greedily.

Against other types of arrays, the Gold-Eating Insects might be helpless, at least not very effective. But when it came to energy-absorbing arrays, they were all experts, their bellies like bottomless pits.

They could absorb as much energy as the array’s restrictions.   Han Li had tested

this after Barbarian Beard and Qing Yi were teleported away from the Treasure Pavilion.   The huge light cluster of restrictions that originally contained fifty ancient treasures was devoured by the Gold-Eating Insects for a long time before it could recover.   This even stronger one before them would be no exception.   Half a day later ,   the array barrier finally loosened!   The restriction had truly been broken through in this savage and pure way!   The next moment, incredibly pure spiritual energy poured out from it.   It was countless small snakes of spiritual energy.   Yuan Yao’s eyes lit up at the sight.   Han   Li, of course, was unaware of Yuan Yao’s thoughts and feelings,   nor could he deduce her past experiences.   He brought Yuan Yao into this room not solely for the Spirit Eye Tree, but   more so for the spiritual essence it had accumulated over tens of thousands of years.   A Spirit Eye Tree of a certain age would secrete a drop of highly useful essence from its roots every two hundred years.   If properly collected and preserved, the accumulated amount over tens of thousands of years would be considerable.   Although he had discovered three even older Spirit Eye Trees on Biling Island and obtained some essence, it hadn’t been properly collected when he discovered it, greatly diminishing its medicinal value. He had tried using the essence with several spiritual herbs to refine the Mingqing Spiritual Elixir, but its potency was weak.   It couldn’t help his main body cultivate the “Mingqing Spiritual Eye.” Therefore   , he arranged for Yuan Yao to enter for the sake of the Spiritual Eye supernatural power.   Furthermore, he learned from the Xuan Gu Shangren Xiao Cha that the pure liquid produced by the Spirit Eye Tree in this stone hall had been carefully preserved by a set of magical artifacts left by the Ice Soul Fairy.   Just like the ten-thousand-year-old spiritual liquid produced by the Spirit Eye Spring, it had been well collected. Back   then, Xiao Cha couldn’t break through the array restrictions, guarding the treasure mountain but unable to take it.   He let Yuan Yao in to try.   It would be best if she could take it away.   …   The fifth floor of the inner hall of the Void Heaven Palace.   Han Li summoned a level four Blood Jade Spider.   However, because it was not a spirit beast he had personally raised, this Blood Jade Spider clearly showed resistance to him.   ”Eh? This Blood Jade Spider of yours doesn’t seem to be close to you?”   The Extreme Yin Old Demon had sharp eyes and saw through the trick at a glance.   ”Master, this is Yanli’s spirit beast, and it listens to Yanli the most. I can control it only by taking advantage of the convenience of our long-term interaction and the token with the divine sense imprint left by Yanli.”   Han Li replied with a smile.   Why did he entrust the Blood Jade Spider to Yanli earlier? Besides gaining her the favor of the Three Elders of the Demonic Path and receiving treasures that would make it easier for him to exploit her, it was also for this moment.   Why isn’t the Blood Jade Spider affectionate towards him?   Isn’t it because this spirit beast isn’t his own, but rather belongs to his Daoist partner, Yanli?

He was merely using this spirit beast.

Ji Yin, after a moment’s thought, immediately understood:

“No wonder you were so protective of Yanli; you had ulterior motives.”

Could it be that his disciple had taken a liking to the Blood Jade Spider, and was thus painstakingly playing the role of a good Daoist partner?

Ji Yin immediately began to speculate about Han Li based on his own character.

Man Hu Zi and Qing Yi actually shared similar thoughts and conclusions.

After all, Xiao Cha, a Nascent Soul cultivator, a dignified old monster, was showing such favoritism and affection towards two Core Formation stage girls? This was highly unusual.

But if it was for the Blood Jade Spider, then it made perfect sense.

Ultimately, it all came down to “profit.”

The world is driven by self-interest.

As for why the Blood Jade Spider, despite its apparent resistance, distance, and fear of Han Li, still obeyed his commands,

this was inseparable from over a hundred years of training.

It couldn’t be said that the Blood Jade Spider had become obedient or disloyal. It can only be said that this Blood Jade Spider was already numb.

It had been tamed to the point of having conditioned reflexes.

Because if it disobeyed, it would really be whipped.

Hundreds of years of relentless training had damaged its unwavering loyalty to Ji Xuan. Moreover, Ji Xuan had been dead for hundreds of years. Furthermore, Han Li hadn’t actually made the Blood Jade Spider betray Ji Xuan; he had only instilled fear in it, making it subconsciously obey his commands. That

was all

. Therefore

, the Blood Jade Spider could readily perform simple commands such as spinning silk and pulling.

“I’ll cast a Berserk spell on it…”

the Barbarian Beard said after secretly communicating with Han Li.

The Berserk spell, applied to the Blood Jade Spider that had unleashed its potential, instantly turned the white, level-four Blood Jade Spider a deep red, temporarily increasing its strength.

“My mutant fire pythons will cooperate fully.”

Ji Yin took out two pills and fed them to the two mutant fire pythons.

Stimulated by the pills, the mutant fire pythons’ strength also received a significant boost.

Their bodies began to elongate, then plunged into the deep pit at the center of the Cold Heaven Platform, facing the blue flames directly. They then locked the two handles of the Void Heaven Cauldron while inserting their tails into the ground of the platform. With a combined effort, and aided by the silk of the Blood Jade Spiders, they began to drag the Void Heaven Cauldron towards the cave entrance.

Any other creature or even magical artifact would have been frozen solid by the blue, dry blue flames, losing its spirit and life.

But the alien fire pythons wouldn’t.

At least for a short time, they could resist the corrosive effects of the dry blue flames on their demonic bodies.

“Let’s all exert force together.”

The three old demonic monsters noticed the movement of the blue flames around the Void Heaven Palace and were more pleased than alarmed.

“Ji Yin, use your secret technique to kill Wan Tianming’s golden silkworms, then control their corpses to help as well.”

Suddenly, the bearded man looked at Ji Yin and reminded him.

Ji Yin nodded.

He immediately cast a spell, killing all three golden silkworms that were still barely alive.

These golden silkworms had already consumed the Azure Flower, which forcibly stimulated their potential, and were beyond saving.

Since they were doomed to die, why waste resources trying to save them?

Now, after being manipulated by Ji Yin, they immediately rose from the ground with renewed vigor.

They then spat out golden threads and pulled the Void Heaven Cauldron at the cave entrance outwards.

“The secret technique can’t last too long; we need to hurry,”

Ji Yin said.

“That’s enough.”

Qing Yi and Man Hu Zi stared intently at the Void Heaven Cauldron, their gazes completely fixed on it.

Sure enough.

The next moment.

The Void Heaven Cauldron began to detach from the bottom platform, slowly floating towards the cave entrance, enveloped in the Azure Ice Flame.

“Good!”

Everyone was overjoyed.

As the Void Heaven Cauldron rose, the Azure Ice Flame also burned up. Wu Chou, whose cultivation was the lowest, felt an extreme chill and involuntarily retreated.

Just then, the sounds of fighting came from outside the Cold Li Platform.

These were the two Heavenly Capital Corpses that Ji Yin had just arranged to keep watch outside, and the several Thornbirds that Qing Yi had arranged.

“Not good, Wan Tianming and the other two are back!” Ji Yin’s

expression changed drastically.

Qing Yi also frowned:

“Why are they back? Do they know we can lift the Void Heaven Cauldron?”

Only the bearded man grinned:

“Perfect timing!”

Don’t rush, don’t rush, I have my own rhythm; the climax will be in the next day or two.

I’m going to have lunch first, I’ll write more when I get back
