A Mortal’s Journey to Immortality: Wang Yu’s Rebirth as the Reincarnation Dao Ancestor - Chapter 209

Chapter 205 Asura Sacred Flame?

The Void Heaven Cauldron, with a flat, round body, two handles, and three legs, is about four feet tall and ten feet in diameter.

This cauldron isn’t large, but it’s very heavy.

Its top has a slightly convex circular lid.

The surface of the cauldron is carved with various simple yet lifelike pictures of insects, fish, beasts, mountains, rivers, and plants.

It exudes a raw, ancient aura.

The cauldron is enveloped by a huge ball of blue flame—the Azure Ice Flame.

As the Void Heaven Cauldron is lifted by two Blood Jade Spiders, the Azure Ice Flame surrounding it blooms like a lotus flower, instantly freezing the area several dozen feet around the cave entrance with transparent blue ice crystals, creating a beautiful sight.

“What a magnificent combination—the cauldron like a lotus seed, the ice flame like lotus petals,”

Han Li secretly praises.

At that very moment, a huge suction force comes from below the cave entrance, attempting to pull the Void Heaven Cauldron and the Azure Ice Flame back.

Han Li raises an eyebrow after receiving feedback from Xiao Bai and Xiao Yu. He immediately took to the air to investigate what was happening beneath the Void Heaven Cauldron.

In a single glance, he saw a massive magic array radiating a crystalline glow beneath the open opening.

“So it’s the core array of the Void Heaven Palace summoning the Void Heaven Cauldron!”

Indeed.

The Void Heaven Palace would disappear in a few days.

At this point, the core array’s suction force on the Void Heaven Cauldron would only increase, unlike its initial looseness.

Han Li landed back on the ground, preparing to wait for Xuan Gu to collect the Azure Ice Flame and then fuse it into the Asura Sacred Fire.

He would then take the opportunity to retrieve the Void Heaven Cauldron.

However,

before they could act, the Void Heaven Cauldron trembled violently, causing its lid to loosen.

Han Li’s eyes lit up.

He knew that once he took the Void Heaven Cauldron from this place, it would be impossible to open the lid again to retrieve its treasures until he reached the mid-Nascent Soul stage and completely refined and tamed the Azure Ice Flame.

In other words…

The easiest way to open the Void Heaven Cauldron and retrieve the treasure is when it is within the core array range of the Cold Li Platform.

He also knew that every time the Void Heaven Cauldron was lifted to the cave entrance by external forces, it would be affected by some kind of restrictive power of the Cold Li Platform, causing the lid to loosen.

This was precisely the opportunity that Fairy Ice Soul had left for everyone to open the cauldron and retrieve the treasure.

“Little White, you continue to stabilize the Void Heaven Cauldron.”

“Little Jade, you open the cauldron.”

Han Li looked at the two Blood Jade Spiders.

Little White obeyed the order, spitting out more spider silk while circling the Void Heaven Cauldron at the cave entrance. All the spider silk it spat out turned into large nets to reinforce the previous net, binding the Void Heaven Cauldron firmly.

During this time, Han Li also released more spider puppets to assist.

Little Jade cut the previous spider silk, then used new spider silk to stick to the lid, then flew into the air and pulled the lid upwards.

It didn’t need the little guy to completely open the lid, just to pull a gap between the lid and the cauldron body.

The next moment, Han Li heard the crisp sound of the cauldron lid being loosened.

After several pulls with all her might, Xiao Yu finally managed to open the lid of the Void Heaven Cauldron.

However, no matter how hard Xiao Yu tried, she could only open the lid to a mere palm’s width.

This was as if it were a limit set by a precision instrument.

In short, the Void Heaven Cauldron could remain closed, but if it were opened, the gap between the lid and the cauldron body could not be too large.

Too much of what was inside could not be released at once.

“The Ice Soul Fairy is indeed far-sighted, preserving the essence of the Chaotic Star Sea,”

Han Li murmured, about to reach for the treasures inside the cauldron.

But before he could act, two five-colored light orbs voluntarily slipped out through the gap.

With no one vying for them, these two Heaven-Mending Pills naturally fell into his hands.

Having obtained the Heaven-Mending Pill, Han Li hesitated for a moment:

“Should I refine another one for my main body?”

He felt that the eight small pills from the Extreme Radiance set and the large one from the golden treasure chest in the Crimson Forbidden Land wouldn’t be enough to refine his main body’s spiritual root to its maximum potential. After all, his main body only possessed a pseudo-spiritual root of four elements.

If he consumed and refined one of these two pills, could his spiritual root’s efficiency in converting spiritual energy from heaven and earth be improved even slightly?

Even a little would be extremely beneficial to him.

…

While Han Li was pondering, Xuan Gu also acted.

A turquoise whirlwind about ten feet in diameter coiled around him, looking eerily sinister.

After expanding slightly, the whirlwind pressed directly down on the blue crystal represented by the Azure Ice Flame.

Then, a loud boom was heard.

The moving whirlwind seemed to be ignited, transforming into a raging flame that rose more than ten feet high, looking like a pillar of fire from afar.

The pillar of fire was neither red nor blue, but constantly shifted between black and green, and was so cold that it made people shiver.

“Xuan Gu, are you sure you can handle this?”

Han Li asked calmly.

“Don’t worry, Master. My Xuanhun Ghost Fire, like the Qianlan Ice Flame, is extremely Yin and cold. Although it can’t compare to the Qianlan Ice Flame here, it can isolate and trap it for a short while.”

As Xuan Gu transmitted his voice, he plunged into the tens of feet of blue ice below, accompanied by a two-colored fire pillar. Immediately, three colors intertwined within it.

What surprised Han Li even more was that the black and green two-colored fire pillar that Xuan Gu created actually managed to part a path in the blue ice flame, heading straight for the center of the magic array altar at the bottom.

This was also where the core flame of the Qianlan Ice Flame was located.

Then,

the black and green fire pillar transformed into a two-colored lotus flower, not only enveloping the Qianlan Ice Flame but also the Void Heaven Cauldron at the cave entrance and the blue flames on its body.

After completing the envelopment of all the blue flames, the black and green lotus flower floated away, leaving only the Void Heaven Cauldron with its lid closed again, suspended in place.

“It’s done?!”

Seeing this, Han Li clenched his fist and clenched it tightly, a hint of excitement in his eyes.

His meticulous planning hadn’t been in vain.

His painstaking preparations

hadn’t been in vain. His disguise as Xiao Cha and his scheme with the barbarian hadn’t been in vain.

His smooth journey was undoubtedly due to a combination of luck and the result of over a year of meticulous planning and meticulous attention to detail.

If he had made a mistake at any point, not only would all his efforts have been in vain, but he might have also fallen into danger.

Fortunately, his efforts hadn’t been wasted.

His sacrifices had been worthwhile.

“Thank you for your hard work,”

Han Li said, looking at Xiao Bai and Xiao Yu.

The two white jade spiders affectionately rubbed against Han Li’s outstretched hand before disappearing back into their spirit beast pouch. After

putting the two away, Han Li took a deep breath, suppressing his excitement, and then beckoned:

“Come here.”

The Void Heaven Cauldron, drawn by the force, floated quietly before him, as light as a feather.

Observing them up close, Han Li’s eyes shone even brighter.

He couldn’t resist and reached out his right hand to gently rub the cauldron with his fingers, caressing the patterns of flowers, plants, insects, and fish on it for a while. Feeling the cold reality, the corners of his mouth gradually curled up.

“This is the Void Heaven Cauldron…”

A genuine Void Heaven Cauldron.

In an instant, a small sense of accomplishment surfaced in his heart, making the corners of his mouth curl up even more.

Finally, he couldn’t suppress it anymore.

He chuckled foolishly twice.

However, this was not the time to pop the champagne.

There was still a big problem to deal with.

That was, the Azure Ice Flame!

The two-colored fire lotus in mid-air had turned into three colors.

Then, Xuan Gu tried his best to compress the three powers.

“Azure Ice Flame, Profound Soul Yin Fire, Evil-Repelling Divine Thunder, the three merged into one, can be refined into the legendary Asura Sacred Fire…”

But, could the Asura Sacred Fire that appeared briefly in ancient times really be refined with the help of a small Golden Thunder Bamboo Arrow?

Could the proportions of the three be balanced?

Xuan Gu gave him the answer.

As the three forces continued to compress, a sphere of light, about a foot in diameter, finally appeared.

At first glance, the sphere was still blackish-green.

But upon closer inspection, a blue flame was slowly burning at its center.

That was the Azure Ice Flame.

Although the Azure Ice Flame was encased in a thick blackish-green shell, it still seemed restless and prone to shifting and thrashing about.

It didn’t appear docile.

This meant that Xuan Gu hadn’t been able to completely refine the Azure Ice Flame with the help of Xuan Hun Yin Fire.

Even more strangely, black arcs of electricity crackled and flickered on the surface of the sphere.

That was the demonized Evil-Repelling Divine Lightning.

The three forces gradually merged, and a cold, piercing grayish-white flame gradually grew on the surface of the sphere.

This frigid flame was the Asura Sacred Flame.

“Can you stabilize the Asura Sacred Flame now?”

Han Li asked.

“Master, the Profound Soul Yin Fire is sufficient to form a cage to temporarily trap the Azure Ice Flame. It’s just that the Evil-Repelling Divine Thunder is a bit lacking, making the cage somewhat unstable. However, it’s not a big deal, as I’ve already been using the Profound Soul Yin Fire to permeate and refine the Azure Ice Flame. Now, the surface of the Azure Ice Flame has been completely refined, leaving only a small core.”

Xuan Gu reported happily.

“The core hasn’t been refined yet?”

Han Li’s eyes narrowed.

“Don’t worry, Master, it’s just a spark, it won’t cause any trouble…”

However, before Xuan Gu could finish speaking, Han Li decisively took out the Lightning Absorbing Stone:

“Take out all the Evil-Repelling Divine Thunder stored inside and use it to reinforce the cage!”

“Huh?”

Xuan Gu was stunned.

Happiness came too suddenly, and he was somewhat caught off guard.

“Use these stored divine thunders to reinforce the cage, lest the Azure Ice Flame suddenly erupt and your little bit of divine thunder isn’t enough.”

He knew all too well the original trajectory, how the Azure Ice Flame suddenly went out of control.

Only the Evil-Repelling Divine Thunder can truly bind the Azure Ice Flame,

making the prison as solid as a rock.

Therefore, he must nip this in the bud.

In this way, even if an unexpected event occurs, a sufficient amount of Evil-Repelling Divine Thunder will buy him more reaction time.

After understanding the meaning, Xuan Gu obediently guided out the few black Evil-Repelling Divine Thunders stored within the Thunder-Absorbing Stone.

Even so, Han Li was still unsure whether Xuan Gu could ultimately refine a stable Asura Sacred Flame.

“Never mind all that, let’s go get the Golden Thunder Bamboo from the fourth-floor stone hall of the Void Heaven Palace first.”

With the Golden Thunder Bamboo, he could have as much Evil-Repelling Divine Thunder as he wanted.

The sword formation could also be finalized.
