Chapter 836: Chapter 409: Primordial Cauldron
After scouring the spirit field, everyone arrived in front of an intact palace.
Following the intense battle, many palaces were damaged to varying degrees, but this one was very well preserved.
Clearly, this was an important place, guarded by a powerful formation, which had remained unaffected by the fierce fighting.
“Let us join forces to break this array and then loot,” a True Spirit Realm core disciple stepped forward, glowing all over, and then suddenly brought out a powerful Dao Weapon.
Lu Yun and the others who accompanied him also revealed their Daoist Devices, spirit weapons, and Divine Abilities.
“Boom!”
The attacks of dozens of people converged and surged forward, smashing into the core of the formation, erupting with an infinite brilliant light from that point.
In just an instant, the nearby palaces trembled, subjected to a formidable impact.
Then, a crack appeared in the formation, quickly widening and extending, and with a snap, it shattered.
Inside the palace, lights streamed and glittered. Various treasures and spirit herbs were piled up like small hills, their radiance so dazzling that the people who rushed into the main hall could hardly open their eyes.
“Surely not all the treasures from the treasury have been moved here,” remarked the core disciple, overwhelmed by the sight of the treasures piled up everywhere in the hall, not to mention the other elite and official disciples.
Such a vast collection of treasures was dizzying, making it hard to keep a calm mind.
The previously plundered Diamond Sect, having retreated in time, had managed to take away many things, leaving behind only a very small portion.
But the Silver Swallow Sect had been tightly besieged by them, unable to flee in time, and the sect’s treasure accumulated over tens of thousands of years now fell into their hands.
“This ancient cauldron is not bad, it seems to be a fine Daoist Device!” Ye Chen was moved.
The cauldron was simple and showed signs of wear, containing a few drops of golden spirit liquid, emitting a faint fragrance, an unknown treasure liquid that was exciting just to glimpse.
Lu Yun noticed this cauldron, its whole body grey-brown, appearing as if made from Profound Stone, its surface and interior both containing astonishing Dao patterns.
However, it didn’t stand out among the many treasures and was extremely old, piled up like trash among the numerous items, easy to overlook unless one was deliberately searching.
In addition, among the multitude of treasures, there was a bone sword, blood-red throughout, with circulating Dao patterns, its power mysterious and clearly a Dao Weapon.
Lu Yun picked up the bone sword and handed it to Ye Chen, saying, “Senior Brother Ye, this sword is yours, how about giving me the ancient cauldron in return?”
Ye Chen had no objections. Although the ancient cauldron had Dao patterns, it appeared to be a Daoist Device used for refining and could not enhance one’s strength.
The bone sword, indeed a veritable Dao Weapon, could only manifest its greatest potential in the hands of him, a Heavenly Pride of swordsmanship.
After accepting the bone sword, Ye Chen smiled and said, “Junior Brother Lu, I won’t take advantage of you, let’s split the remaining treasures with me taking forty and you sixty percent.”
Lu Yun nodded. With a wave of his hand, he summoned the ancient cauldron from among the treasures. The cauldron was enigmatic, crafted from some unknown Profound Stone, grey-brown in appearance, its Dao patterns dull and inconspicuous, only a few feet in size.
With a thought, the residual golden liquid within entered his body, instantly transforming into a torrent of pure energy.
“Such pure energy, just a remnant part, is nearly enough to support the transformation of a Dragon Elephant,” Lu Yun’s eyes sparkled.
While Ye Chen was busy sorting through the treasures, Lu Yun took a closer look at the cauldron. Considering his own experience in refining pills on the Wasteland of Origin, he gently stimulated it with flame, but the cauldron showed no change.
“What exactly is this ancient cauldron used for?” Full of curiosity, Lu Yun covered the cauldron with his consciousness, carefully exploring its secrets, but still without any findings.
Then, he attempted to channel the World Power from his Cave Heavens into the cauldron, only to encounter resistance.
Lu Yun’s eyes immediately flashed, for resistance meant he had found a clue.
He used Thunder Power to probe, met with resistance.
Great Sun Divine Power, still met with resistance.
Dragon Elephant Divine Power, again met with resistance.
The fusion of Thunder Power, Great Sun Divine Power, and Dragon Elephant Divine Power created a new and mighty Thunder Divine Power. When poured into the cauldron, it finally elicited a response.
The ancient cauldron seemed like a boundless Abyss, impossible to fill.
Nonetheless, Lu Yun was ecstatic. The vast, ocean-like Thunder Divine Power flowed continuously into the cauldron, and after several dozen breaths, the original cauldron, only a few feet in size, suddenly expanded, becoming simple yet majestic.
Moreover, as the infusion of Thunder Divine Power continued, the originally dim Dao patterns immediately began to shine brightly.
Under the luminous glow of the Dao patterns inside the cauldron, hundreds of ancient characters were revealed.
“What is this?” Lu Yun’s breathing became rapid.
The ancient manuscripts described by the Dao patterns, showed that the cauldron was a Primordial Cauldron, capable of absorbing Heavenly and Earthly Spiritual Qi, the essence of the sun and moon, and condensing Gold Body liquid, extremely precious, offering an effect that could greatly accelerate the advancement of one’s Physical Body and cultivation of Body Refining Methods.
More importantly, when various treasures from Heaven and Earth were put into the Primordial Cauldron, and refined with Divine Power, not only could the efficiency of the Primordial liquid condensation be greatly enhanced, but the quality of the treasure liquid could also be improved.
The residual treasure liquid previously in the Primordial Cauldron had formed automatically from the absorbed Heavenly and Earthly Spiritual Qi and the essence of the sun and moon.
“Such a precious cauldron, left here as if it were trash, the Silver Swallow Sect truly has the eyes of a blind dog.”
Lu Yun felt simultaneously fortunate; had the Silver Swallow Sect not overlooked this ancient cauldron, it would not have ended up in his hands, allowing him to uncover its mysteries.
