Chapter 383 The Soul of the Cauldron Appears! The Secrets of the Saint King Shock Jiang Yun; Breakthrough Imminent, Pursuit Imminent!

"Senior, would you be willing to appear for a meeting?"

The voice was not loud, yet it was exceptionally clear within this vast, silent darkness of the void.

The words fell.

A moment of silence followed.

And then.

A sudden change occurred!

Within the darkness, a burst of fire suddenly lit up!

That firelight was not an ordinary red or gold.

Instead, nine colors were interwoven together.

Crimson, orange, yellow, green, azure, blue, purple, black, and white!

The nine-colored flames bloomed in the darkness!

Like nine fire dragons, they circled in the Void Realm!

The light was dazzling and brilliant, yet as warm and smooth as jade.

It was not blinding.

It was not scorching.

Yet it carried a pressure as vast as the sea!

That pressure was not aggressive.

Rather, it came from the passage of time.

From the vicissitudes of life.

From an ancient Soul that had existed for an unknown number of tens of thousands of years.

Within the firelight.

A massive phantom slowly emerged.

It was a cauldron.

Three legs and two ears, its entire body pitch-black.

The body of the cauldron was covered in dense runes; every rune was slowly circulating, emitting nine-colored light.

At the mouth of the cauldron, nine dragon patterns circled.

The dragon patterns were lifelike, as if they could fly off the cauldron at any moment.

The legs of the cauldron were three coiled hornless dragons, their heads facing down and tails up, hoisting the entire body of the cauldron.

The entire cauldron was about ten feet tall, emitting an ancient and majestic aura.

It simply suspended there in the darkness, nine-colored flames surrounding it.

Like a deity walking out of ancient times.

Looking down upon all things in the world.

Jiang Yun's pupils constricted slightly.

Is this... the Divine Soul phantom of the Nine Revolutions Sky Burning Cauldron?

To have such power from just a Divine Soul!

If it were the original body, what kind of terrifying existence would it be?!

He quickly stood up and respectfully cupped his hands in greeting.

"Junior Jiang Yun greets Senior."

The cauldron Soul suspended in the darkness, the nine-colored flames slowly flowing.

A moment later.

A distant and aged voice emanated from the cauldron.

That voice seemed to come from ancient times, carrying the weight of the ages.

"Little Fellow, why have you asked this seat to appear? Is there something the matter?"

The voice was flat, yet carried a hint of impatience.

"If there is nothing, do not disturb this seat's peace."

Hearing this, Jiang Yun hurriedly said,

"Senior, back in the Medicine God Secret Realm, I promised you that I would help you reconstruct your Physical Body."

His tone was sincere and serious.

"I have come specifically to ask you, Senior, what are the requirements for reconstructing the Physical Body? What Heaven And Earth Treasures are needed? I wish to prepare in advance."

The cauldron Soul fell silent.

The nine-colored flames flickered slightly.

A moment later.

That aged voice sounded once more.

This time, it carried a hint of a smile.

"Little Fellow, you are indeed a man of your word."

"You have not forgotten what you promised this seat."

That fellow Medicine Dust Son did not misjudge you."

Jiang Yun lowered his head slightly.

"Senior overpraises me."

The cauldron Soul paused.

"However, this seat's original body does not actually need to be reconstructed."

Jiang Yun was startled.

"Does not need to be?"

The cauldron Soul continued.

"This seat's original body is perfectly intact."

"It was merely sealed by that fellow Medicine Dust Son in a dangerous location."

"What remains here now is nothing more than a separated Divine Soul."

Jiang Yun was stunned.

What?

The original body of the Nine Revolutions Sky Burning Cauldron was actually sealed by Senior Medicine God?

He had originally thought the Nine Revolutions Sky Burning Cauldron's body had been shattered, leaving only its Divine Soul to reside within the Jade Slip.

He hadn't expected it was the Medicine God himself who sealed it.

The cauldron Soul seemed to see through Jiang Yun's confusion.

It spoke slowly, explaining.

"Little Fellow, how much do you know about the relationship between a Beast Tamer and their beast?"

Jiang Yun thought for a moment.

"Through the Beast Taming Contract, a Beast Tamer and their beast can obtain the creation of heaven and earth and the recognition of the Great Dao. The beast's growth speed will be much faster than ordinary Vicious Beasts. And the Beast Tamer will also receive various attribute boosts and even an extension of their Lifespan due to the beast's growth."

The cauldron Soul said,

"Correct. Then do you know what the limit of a Beast Tamer's Lifespan is?"

Jiang Yun was taken aback.

He had never thought about this question.

A Beast Tamer's Lifespan was much longer than an ordinary person's.

Someone like Blood Nether Lotus, at one hundred and twenty-seven years old, still looked like a middle-aged woman.

For those even stronger, living for several hundred years didn't seem to be a problem.

But what was the limit?

He shook his head.

"Junior does not know."

The cauldron Soul's voice became distant.

"The Saint King Rank is a major hurdle for a Beast Tamer."

"Stepping into the Saint King Rank, one's Lifespan can reach ten thousand years."

"But even at the Saint King Peak, it is only ten thousand years."

Jiang Yun's pupils contracted sharply!

Ten thousand years?!

It sounded like a long time.

But...

The cauldron Soul continued.

"Whereas for beasts, even an ordinary Falling Star Rank Vicious Beast has a Lifespan of tens of thousands of years."

"If it is a Saint King Rank beast, its Lifespan can reach a hundred thousand years."

"To a beast, ten thousand years is but the tip of the iceberg."

An indescribable emotion welled up in Jiang Yun's heart.

A Beast Tamer's Lifespan was actually so much shorter than their beast's?

The cauldron Soul's voice remained calm.

"That fellow Medicine Dust Son was at the Saint King Ninth Tier during his Peak."

"His beast was none other than this seat."

"A Saint King Ninth Tier Nine Revolutions Sky Burning Cauldron has a Lifespan of a hundred thousand years."

"While he only had ten thousand years."

"He was worried that after he fell, this seat would be masterless and would be coveted by other Saint King experts."

"For the dignified Nine Revolutions Sky Burning Cauldron to become someone else's property, or even have its intelligence forcibly wiped to become a mere tool."

"He was unwilling."

The cauldron Soul's voice carried a hint of sentiment.

"So, he refined a Saint-Grade Medicinal Pill to separate this seat's Divine Soul from its original body."

"The Divine Soul resides in this Jade Slip, constantly accompanying his Legacy."

"The original body, meanwhile, was sealed by him in an extremely dangerous Forbidden Ground."

"It has been thirty thousand years."

"His Divine Soul has long since been worn away and is about to dissipate, while this seat is still here, waiting for the destined person."

After the cauldron Soul finished speaking, it fell silent.

Jiang Yun stood in place, not speaking for a long time.

A Saint King Rank expert.

A Lifespan of ten thousand years.

Yet a beast has a hundred thousand years.

He thought of Little Fire.

He thought of Little Skylark.

He thought of Nether Abyss.

Their Lifespans were all much longer than his.

If one day, he...

He shook his head, throwing that thought out of his mind.

Thinking about these things now was too far off.

He took a deep breath and asked,

"Senior, I wonder where your original body was sealed by Senior Medicine God?"

"I will certainly do my utmost to help your Divine Soul return to its original body."

The cauldron Soul was silent for a moment.

Then, it let out a sigh.

That sigh was distant and aged.

"Little Fellow, this seat is gratified that you have this heart."

"But currently, your strength... is too weak."

"In that place, the rules are disordered, and heaven and earth are reversed."

"The Laws of heaven and earth are chaotic in that region."

"Beast Taming Power will be suppressed in that area."

"Even if a Saint King expert enters, they might perish within."

Jiang Yun's heart jolted.

Disordered rules, heaven and earth reversed?

Even a Saint King expert might perish if they enter?

What kind of place was that?!

The cauldron Soul continued.

"When your strength is sufficient, this seat will naturally tell you."

"For now, it is too early."

Its voice carried a hint of warning.

"What you must do now is properly nurture your beasts and make yourself strong."

"Do not neglect that fellow Medicine Dust Son's Alchemy Legacy."

"That is the foundation for your future standing."

Hearing this, Jiang Yun respectfully cupped his hands.

"Junior will keep Senior's teachings in mind."

He paused and then added,

"Then Senior, regarding your current Divine Soul state..."

The cauldron Soul said,

"This seat is currently only a Divine Soul body and cannot help you with power or combat."

"However, having traveled the continent with Medicine Dust Son back then, my knowledge is fairly extensive."

"If you encounter things you do not understand, you may consult this seat."

Jiang Yun was delighted.

This was an existence that had followed a Saint King Ninth Tier expert!

How could its knowledge be compared to that of an ordinary person?

Although he possessed the Heaven-Defying talent of Entry Manifestation.

Sometimes, when encountering difficult-to-understand Restrictions, he could indeed consult Senior.

He hurriedly said,

"Many thanks, Senior!"

The cauldron Soul said indifferently,

"Go then."

"This seat wishes to rest."

The nine-colored flames began to slowly withdraw.

The massive cauldron Soul phantom also gradually became transparent.

Jiang Yun bowed respectfully once more.

"Junior takes his leave."

The words fell.

His Divine Sense withdrew from the Jade Slip.

He opened his eyes.

In his hand, that Jade Slip still lay quietly.

Jiang Yun carefully placed it into his Storage Ring, his mind filled with a thousand thoughts.

It seemed the matter of finding the original body for the Nine Revolutions Sky Burning Cauldron would have to be set aside for now.

That place where even a Saint King expert might perish was not somewhere he could step into right now.

He had to become strong as quickly as possible.

Strong enough to set foot in that Forbidden Ground.

Strong enough to protect everyone around him.

He took a deep breath, suppressing these thoughts.

With a flip of his right hand.

The second supreme treasure appeared in his hand.

The ancient Pill Formula Incomplete Manual.

Saint King Rank.

It recorded three lost Saint King Rank Pill Formulas—

Nirvana Pill, Creation Pill, and Reincarnation Pill.

Each one was a priceless treasure.

Jiang Yun opened the Incomplete Manual, his gaze sweeping over those ancient characters.

Nirvana Pill, Saint King Low Grade.

Can allow a beast below the Falling Star Rank to undergo Nirvana and Rebirth, increasing Aptitude and having a chance to awaken a new talent.

Required Materials: phoenix blood (one drop of Saint King Rank), dragon scale grass (over ten thousand years), Nirvana Flower (Saint King Rank), nine-leaf lingzhi (over ten thousand years), Essence of Heavenly Fire (one wisp), Meteorite beast core (three).

Jiang Yun's mouth twitched slightly.

phoenix blood? One drop of Saint King Rank?

Where was he supposed to find that?

He shook his head and looked at the second one.

Creation Pill, Saint King Medium Grade.

Can allow a beast below the Saint King Rank to be completely transformed, breaking through a Bottleneck and having a chance to comprehend Origin Laws.

Required Materials: creation fruit (Saint King Rank), source of five elements (one of each), heart of the void (one), Chaos Qi (one wisp), Essence Blood of a Saint King Rank Vicious Beast (three drops).

Jiang Yun: "..."

One of each source of five elements? heart of the void? Chaos Qi?

He had never even heard of these things.

He looked at the third one.

Reincarnation Pill, Saint King High Grade.

Can bring a recently deceased person or beast back to life, retaining all cultivation and memories; if taken by a living person, they can awaken the Reincarnation Body.

Required Materials: reincarnation flower (Saint King Rank), water of the yellow springs (one portion), naihe stone (one piece), flower of the other shore (three), complete Soul of a Saint King Rank expert (one).

Jiang Yun was completely speechless.

reincarnation flower? water of the yellow springs? naihe stone? flower of the other shore? Complete Soul of a Saint King Rank expert?

Forget about seeing these things, this was the first time he had even heard of them!

He gave a bitter smile and closed the Incomplete Manual.

"These medicinal Materials are simply unheard of and unseen."

He shook his head.

"It seems I can only see if future Opportunities allow me to gather them all."

He put the Incomplete Manual into his Storage Ring.

However, he was not discouraged by this.

Because he had the Alchemy Legacy of Senior Medicine God in his mind.

Pill Formulas for thousands of types of Medicinal Pills.

From the lowest Human-Grade Medicinal Pills to the highest Saint King Rank Medicinal Pills, everything was there.

There were also various Alchemy techniques, fire control skills, medicinal material identification...

These were his greatest wealth.

It was just that fully digesting this knowledge would still take time.

He took a deep breath, suppressing these thoughts.

With a flip of his right hand.

The third supreme treasure appeared in his hand.

heavenly fire profound iron.

Saint King Low Grade.

The size of a fist, it was crimson all over, with fire patterns faintly jumping on the surface.

It felt heavy in his hand; a piece the size of a palm weighed over a hundred pounds.

Jiang Yun held it in his palm, feeling the warm touch.

"Can be used to refine a Saint King Rank divine weapon..."

He murmured.

"Sky Dome Academy seems to have an Artifact Institute."

"After returning, perhaps I can go and consult the teachers there or their dean."

"Maybe I can refine a Saint King Rank treasure for Little Fire and the others."

He put the heavenly fire profound iron into his Storage Ring.

The fourth supreme treasure, the nine revolutions soul returning pill.

He had already given it to Fox Immortal to eat.

Jiang Yun looked at the figure sitting cross-legged not far away, the corners of his mouth curling up slightly.

The medicine was used to save someone; it wasn't a loss.

Moreover, right now he still had to rely on Fox Immortal to overcome the crisis of breaking through to the Falling Star Rank.

Fox Immortal was also injured because of him, nearly losing her life.

It was only right to give her the nine revolutions soul returning pill.

The fifth supreme treasure, the nine-leaf purple lingzhi.

At this moment, it was inside Fox Immortal's body, helping her break through to the Falling Star Rank.

Jiang Yun withdrew his gaze and began to take stock of the remaining treasures.

With a flip of his right hand.

A cyan Ore appeared in his hand.

Meteorite High Grade · Wind-Thunder Stone.

Wind-Thunder power faintly circulated on the surface, containing the Origin power of wind and thunder.

"This is for Little Skylark."

Jiang Yun looked at Little Skylark beneath him.

The Little Fellow was flying with focused attention, completely unaware that its master had already set his sights on a treasure for it.

The second item.

A crimson Medicinal Pill.

Meteorite Medium Grade · Fire Spirit Pill.

Can be taken by fire attribute beasts to significantly increase fire attribute affinity.

"This is for Little Fire."

The third item.

A pitch-black beast core.

Meteorite Medium Grade · Shadow Beast Core.

Containing dense Death Qi, it was suitable for dark attribute and undead attribute beasts to absorb.

"This is for Nether Abyss."

The fourth item.

A Spiritual Plant that was snow-white all over.

Meteorite High Grade · Snow Jade Ginseng.

Can be used to refine Medicinal Pills that increase cultivation.

The fifth item.

A dark piece of iron.

The sixth item.

A bottle of emerald green dew.

Meteorite High Grade · Rejuvenation Dew.

Can heal serious injuries.

The seventh item.

A pale gold Medicinal Pill.

Meteorite Medium Grade · Barrier-Breaking Pill.

Can help beasts below the Diamond Rank break through a Bottleneck.

...

One item.

Two items.

Three items.

Four items.

...

A total of twenty-eight Falling Star Rank treasures!

Medicinal Pills, Ores, Spiritual Plants, beast cores, weapons, armor...

Piled in front of Jiang Yun, they shimmered with an alluring luster under the light of the Seven-Colored Crystals.

In addition to these, there was also a large pile of spiritual flowers and fruits collected from the outer perimeter of the main hall.

Thousand-year lingzhi, hundred-year fleeceflower root, dragon scale grass, nine-leaf lingzhi (thousand-year grade), crimson flame fruit, cold ice lotus...

Dozens of plants in total!

Although they couldn't compare to those Falling Star Rank treasures, each one was worth a fortune on the outside.

Jiang Yun looked at the pile of treasures before him, the corners of his mouth curling up slightly.

This trip had been a huge windfall.

Five Saint King Rank supreme treasures.

Twenty-eight Falling Star Rank treasures.

Dozens of rare Spiritual Plants.

Taking out any single one would be enough to make people outside go crazy.

Not to mention so many.

He took a deep breath and put the treasures back into his Storage Ring one by one.

Then, he looked up.

He looked at Fox Immortal.

Five-colored light still circulated around her.

Gold, wood, water, fire, and earth—five colors of light circled around her like five massive dragons.

Her aura had already climbed to the limit of Amethyst Ninth Tier.

That layer of Bottleneck was teetering.

With every breath, the Bottleneck trembled violently.

A Breakthrough could happen at any moment.

Jiang Yun's mouth curled up.

It seemed Fox Immortal's Breakthrough was only a matter of time.

"Old thing."

He said softly, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

"Once Fox Immortal breaks through, it will be the day you die."

Time passed, second by second.

In the darkness.

Little Skylark continued to fly forward.

It was unknown how far they had flown.

Nether Abyss's Light-Devouring Domain enveloped them.

Swallowing all auras and all traces.

Fox Immortal was making her final push toward the Falling Star Rank.

Half a day.

A full half-day had passed.

Jiang Yun sat cross-legged on Little Skylark's back, closing his eyes to rest.

Fox Immortal's aura had already climbed to the extreme.

The five-colored light grew brighter and brighter.

Cracks had already appeared on that layer of Bottleneck.

Crack.

Crack.

The cracks grew larger and larger.

They could shatter at any moment.

Jiang Yun opened his eyes and looked at Fox Immortal.

Almost there.

It's almost time.

However.

Right at that moment.

A sudden change occurred!

Outside the Domain.

A loud shout suddenly came!

The voice came from afar, carrying excitement and trembling!

"Found him!!! I've found Master Jiang!!!"

"He's here!!!"

Jiang Yun's expression changed abruptly.

The thing he least wanted to happen had happened after all.
