Ch. 301Five Days! Danger Lurks!
Pei Chenyuan revealed that he had saved Jiang Bei and forced him into a deal to gather keys for the Dragon Elephant Grotto-Heaven, threatening to expose his possession of the Ten Thousand Mothers Cauldron. Jiang Bei agreed to buy time, then went to the rear mountain, where Gu Cangsheng’s body was nearly ready for the Great Fusion Technique.
- Pei Chenyuan admitted he had saved Jiang Bei and asked him to find the items needed to open the Dragon Elephant Grotto-Heaven and retrieve his former body.
- Jiang Bei realized Pei Chenyuan’s power was limited in Shen Zhiqin’s body, but Pei Chenyuan threatened to reveal the Ten Thousand Mothers Cauldron and said he had a backup plan.
- Jiang Bei tested the Ten Thousand Mothers Cauldron and discovered it could not attack until it was filled with specific energy found in the grotto-heaven.
- Jiang Bei accepted Pei Chenyuan’s deal and received a scroll listing the items to find within five days, while Pei Chenyuan warned him not to leave permitted locations.
- Jiang Bei visited the rear mountain, where Pei Xiu and Zhou Yunnan had arrived to guard Gu Cangsheng, and Wen Shiqing reported that the Great Fusion Technique could begin that day.
