A Mortal’s Journey to Immortality: Wang Yu’s Rebirth as the Reincarnation Dao Ancestor - Chapter 204
Chapter 200 Mine!
The bearded man patted the spirit beast pouch at his waist, and a beam of yellow light shot out.
After the light subsided, a leopard-like spirit beast covered in yellow spots appeared beside the burly man.
This beast was several times larger than an ordinary leopard, with a third vertical pupil on its forehead, within which a faint yellow light flickered.
“Roar…”
A level seven spirit beast, the Three-Eyed Leopard.
“Try to buy some time, the Void Heaven Cauldron is still a little short of being able to pull it up.”
Ji Yin said urgently.
A dozen or so Heavenly Capital Demon Corpses surrounded by black mist appeared around him.
Each of them exuded an aura slightly stronger than that of an ordinary mid-stage Core Formation cultivator.
“Brother Wu is right, it’s just a little bit more, we absolutely cannot let Wan Tianming and the others ruin our plans.”
Qing Yi was also a decisive person.
After glancing at the Three-Eyed Leopard and a group of Heavenly Capital Corpses, his sleeves fluttered, and the next moment, a large group of blue light orbs surged out from them.
They were more than a hundred sparrow-sized Blue Thorn Birds.
These Thornbirds, with their sharp beaks and steel feathers, possessed formidable auras, each at the peak of the fourth level.
The three prepared for another battle.
Han Li, however, noticed the Void Heaven Cauldron, its lid partially exposed at the cave entrance, and sensed a subtle movement within it.
Something seemed to be impacting the lid from within.
Initially, he didn’t think much of it.
But quickly, something dawned on him, his gaze sharpening as he abruptly turned, unable to look away:
“Something’s hitting the lid? Could it be… Silver Moon?”
Yes.
Every time outsiders attempted to retrieve treasures, Silver Moon would try to break through the lid to escape the Void Heaven Cauldron, but each time she only helped other high-level or even top-level ancient treasures escape, failing herself. She always ended up benefiting the other treasures.
Over tens of thousands of years, only three high-level and top-level ancient treasures remained inside the cauldron.
If they didn’t try to escape now, they might never have another chance.
So this time, Yin Yue simply staked all the primordial power she had accumulated within the Void Heaven Cauldron for tens of thousands of years, though it was still not much.
After this, her cultivation level plummeted from a very strong Nascent Soul stage to a level
where she could easily withstand an attack from a Star Palace elder.
After possessing a little fox from Yunmeng Mountain, she was left with only the cultivation level of a late-stage Core Formation cultivator.
“If I can make it easier for Yin Yue when she attacks the lid of the Void Heaven Cauldron this time, reducing her pressure, wouldn’t she lose less cultivation power?”
Thinking of this, Han Li couldn’t stand idly by any longer
and immediately took action.
As the Void Heaven Cauldron was being pulled to the cave entrance by several spirit beasts, before Wan Tianming and his companions entered the Cold Li Platform, and while Man Hu Zi, Qing Yi, and Ji Yin were on high alert guarding the entrance to the Heavenly Gang Cover, he turned to the three and shouted,
“Give me some time! I’ll try to see if I can speed things up a bit…”
After saying this, he took out several low-level spider puppets, much to the astonishment of the three Nascent Soul stage monsters.
These spider puppets didn’t have anything else of value, but they all contained the silk of Blood Jade Spiders that he had prepared beforehand.
The next instant,
the puppet spiders began to spin silk, coiling around the lid of the Void Heaven Cauldron.
The silk of the Blood Jade Spider was too special; although it was prepared in advance, it still possessed the ability to resist the erosion of the Azure Ice Flame. Even if the resistance wasn’t as efficient as when a real Blood Jade Spider normally spun silk, it could still hold out for a while.
As long as the silk was long enough, and as long as the spider puppets were far enough away from the cave entrance, the Azure Ice Flame’s attack wouldn’t proceed so quickly.
In other words, it’s about using space to buy time.
And so,
he vaguely saw a blue glow creeping along the spider silk towards the puppet spiders, but because the puppet spiders were at the edge of the Heavenly Barrier barrier dozens of feet away, the Azure Ice Flame couldn’t reach them for the time being.
It had no effect.
“Effective?”
The three members of the Extreme Yin trio’s eyes lit up upon seeing this.
They had overlooked the wonderful use of sufficiently long spider silk.
“No wonder he’s the man who opened the Void Heaven Cauldron once.”
The bearded man secretly praised him.
The prestige of the name Xiao Cha was still rising for the bearded man.
Han Li was also overjoyed.
He had originally prepared to abandon the several spider puppets.
He was also prepared to abandon the few insignificant strands of divine consciousness attached to the spider puppets.
Unexpectedly, the Blood Jade Spider’s silk gave him a pleasant surprise.
Since it was effective, what was there for him to hesitate about?
“Pull!”
Several more puppet spiders appeared, spitting silk and pulling onto the lid of the Void Heaven Cauldron.
Inside the cauldron.
A wolf-head jade ruyi, an ancient copper coin, and a jade pendant all emitted a shimmering glow, impacting the lid of the Void Heaven Cauldron.
Three Heaven-Mending Pills also showed signs of detaching from the cauldron,
one of which was ranked after the three treasures.
These treasures, nourished by the Void Heaven Cauldron for tens of thousands of years, not only retained their spirituality but actually increased it! Even the pills showed signs of becoming sentient!
This ability to nurture spirituality was a major hidden effect of the Void Heaven Cauldron!
Otherwise, how could Silver Moon’s primordial spirit withstand the ravages of tens of thousands of years? It would have dissipated long ago.
The Heavenly Azure Sacred Beast also wouldn’t have had the opportunity to organize its memories; that wisp of its primordial spirit would have quickly vanished.
The two visitors from the Upper Realm were able to preserve their primordial spirits thanks to the Void Heaven Cauldron left behind by the Ice Soul Fairy.
“Huh? The lid of the cauldron is loose again?”
“And this time the signs of loosening are so obvious and strong!”
“Could it be that after that group of people, an even more powerful figure has arrived outside and is increasing the force of opening the cauldron?”
On the wolf-headed jade ruyi, a small white head peeked out, its adorable big eyes sparkling with immense longing.
She had been trapped here for far too long.
She craved freedom so much.
Ahhh, she wanted to get out.
“Follow me!”
Silver Moon glanced at the ancient bronze coins and jade pendant beside her. She knew this might be her last chance in the last few hundred, even thousand years.
It was the only chance she could get closest to freedom.
For tens of thousands of years, countless brilliant minds had come here, yet no one had ever managed to open the lid of the Void Heaven Cauldron too wide.
She had always missed that chance to escape to freedom.
This time, she wouldn’t let it slip away.
“Charge!”
The bronze coins and jade pendant were also full of spirit.
Although the two treasures were far from having developed a spirit or intelligence, and therefore didn’t understand Silver Moon’s words, they also desperately wanted to leave the cauldron.
Charge! Charge!
…
“Creak…”
The cauldron lid loosened.
The three demonic cultivators’ breathing quickened simultaneously:
“Good, good, good!”
Barbarian Beard’s eyes shone brightly.
Qing Yi’s eyes were bluish.
Ji Yin’s eyes were a deep green.
It was at this moment…
Wan Tianming and his two companions, having dealt with the two Heavenly Capital Corpses arranged by Ji Yin beforehand and the several Green Thorn Birds arranged by Qing Yi, stormed into the Hanlitai.
Upon seeing the situation at the edge of the cave entrance in the center of the Hanlitai, the three were shocked:
“Blood Jade Spiders?”
“And so many temporary puppets made from Blood Jade Spider silk?”
“Plus, two exotic fire pythons and the three Golden Silkworms you abandoned, Brother Wan…”
It’s true, they could indeed activate the Void Heaven Cauldron.
“So many cunning demonic thieves,”
Tian Wuzi cursed.
“What, Sect Master Wan, you yourselves can’t use the Golden Silkworms, yet you blame others for knowing how to use them?”
The bearded man pointed at the three Golden Silkworm corpses temporarily controlled by Ji Yin’s corpse-controlling secret technique, and launched into a mocking tirade against Wan Tianming’s face.
However, Wan Tianming was not angry at all; on the contrary, he was very happy:
“Brother Man is right. With these little things and a level four Blood Jade Spider, opening the cauldron this time is a sure thing. And since my spirit beast has also contributed, Brother Man, how about we split the treasures in the cauldron equally this time?”
“Split equally?”
Upon hearing this, Man Hu Zi cursed:
“Have you no shame?”
How could Wan Tianming have the nerve to say such a thing?
Just then:
“Creak…”
The lid of the Void Heaven Cauldron shook again.
Just as the Nascent Soul cultivators were about to argue,
in the next instant, three streams of light—one red, one yellow, and one white—emerged from the gap in the lid.
“Ancient treasures! Ancient treasures! They’re out!”
Wu Chou pointed excitedly at the opening.
The fiery red one was the Wolf Head Jade Ruyi.
The yellow one was a copper coin.
The white one was a jade pendant.
Robbery!
Wan Tianming and the other two had no intention of talking properly anymore and rushed over.
“Enough with the nonsense, you’ll be eating shit before it’s even hot. “
Beside the three appeared a dragon and a giant tortoise.
“That crazy old woman Wan Sangu’s Cold Dragon? Tian Yuanzi’s Separating Tortoise? Good, good, good, they really came prepared!”
Both beasts were at the peak of the seventh level,
qualified to participate in battles between Nascent Soul cultivators.
“Creak…”
The Void Heaven Cauldron, seemingly stimulated by something, shook its lid again. Immediately afterward, the previous buzzing sound transformed into a dragon’s roar, accompanied by a muffled thunderclap. A fist-sized ball of five-colored light burst forth from the blue flames, appearing immediately after the three ancient treasures, soaring into the sky.
At this moment, compared to the bead that appeared later, the three treasures seemed somewhat “dimmed.”
Seeing the bead, everyone’s breath caught in their throats:
“It’s the Heaven-Mending Pill!”
The eyes of Barbarian Beard, Wan Tianming, and Ji Yin turned bloodshot:
“Mine!”
Mine! Mine!
That’s mine!
The initial momentum for seizing the ancient treasure shifted entirely to the Heaven-Mending Pill.
Then, Ji Yin, being the closest, seemed poised to obtain it.
However, unexpectedly, both Barbarian Beard and Wan Tianming’s attacks simultaneously struck Ji Yin.
Upon seeing this, Ji Yin’s expression changed drastically: “Barbarian Beard, you…”
“That’s mine!”
“That’s mine!”
A mere early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator dares to lay a finger on it?
He’s courting death!
