Cang Yan Treasury, Reversed Soldier Character Secret

"My lord, where do we go next?"

Having returned to the Fifty-Seventh City of the Human Ancient Road, the Nine-tailed Flood Dragon immediately asked a question.

"Back to the Seventeenth City of the Human Ancient Road!" Without thinking much, Zhou Tong activated the Divine Light Platform once more. He and the Nine-tailed Flood Dragon transformed into a beam of light and disappeared from the spot, returning to the vicinity of the Seventeenth City of the Human Ancient Road.

After returning to the vicinity of the Seventeenth City, Zhou Tong did not enter the city, but instead flew directly into the vast and boundless Void the Great of the universe.

The Void the Great universe remained as cold and dark as ever, but Zhou Tong already had a goal in mind: he was searching for a Sun Emperor, the coordinates he had gleaned from the memories of the Fire Spirit Cang Yan, the very birthplace of the Fire Spirit Cang Yan.

Soon, a Sun Emperor appeared before Zhou Tong's eyes. Its light dispelled the coldness and darkness of the universe, growing hotter the closer he got, so bright that people couldn't open their eyes.

"This is the birthplace of the Fire Spirit Cang Yan!" Zhou Tong quickly confirmed the existence of this Sun Emperor.

The Sun Star is very large and extremely hot, with sparks of fire constantly flying outwards.

As soon as Zhou Tong arrived here, he heard a faint chanting sound. It was a bright and dazzling Sun Emperor, whose age was unknown, and which was marked with countless intricate Divine Pattern.

Just by stepping into this place, Zhou Tong's Hegemonic Bell and Vajra Ring began to imprint the Great Dao of this place on their own.

"A pre-heavenly Array Diagram!!" Zhou Tong opened his Martial Heavenly Eye and immediately saw that there were patterns inside the Sun Star. These were not patterns that were set up later, but rather Array Diagram that were formed innately.

As the birthplace of the Fire Spirit Cang Yan, the High Heaven had already imprinted countless innate Dao Pattern on the vicinity of this Sun Star when it was being conceived.

"These Dao Pattern ... innate Array Patterns, do have something in common with the Third Killing Array I got from Cao Yusheng." Zhou Tong deduced as he moved forward, and at the same time imprinted the Array Diagram here into his Ten Cave Heaven Divine Rings.

After advancing all the way, Zhou Tong finally arrived at the very core of this Sun Star.

It was a Pure Land, free from scorching flames and violent spiritual energy, filled with tranquility and radiant divine light—an ideal place for cultivation.

"There's such a majestic Pang Bo stone mountain inside the Sun Emperor? Unbelievable!" The Nine-tailed Flood Dragon, who had been following Zhou Tong all this way, was shocked. The scene before him was beyond his imagination.

The first thing that comes into view is a massive black mountain tens of thousands of feet high, heavy and ancient, almost like a divine mountain that has suppressed eternity, filled with an unimaginable divine power.

"I know now, the Fire Spirit Cang Yan was born here! This is actually a Chaos Stone!!" The Nine-tailed Flood Dragon quickly realized that it had discovered the identity of the giant rock.

Chaos Stone are mysterious, precious, and extremely rare.

Not to mention that Chaos Stone itself is a supreme divine material that is sufficient to refine Quasi-Emperor Artifact, the interior of Chaos Stone generally contains Immortal Material.

The Wu Shi the Great found a Chaos Stone in the Qinling Mountains of the Big Dipper Central Plains the Big Dipper, and extracted the Immortal Material contained within it, which led to the creation of the Wu Shi Bell that shook the world.

The Chaos Stone before us, in terms of size alone, surpasses the one that the Wu Shi the Great found back then.

"My lord, there must be Immortal Material inside this Chaos Stone!!" The Nine-tailed Flood Dragon looked at Zhou Tong with burning eyes. This was a treasure! It didn't expect to get the Immortal Material inside the Chaos Stone; it just wanted to get some soup with Zhou Tong.

It wants the remaining Chaos Stone after it has extracted the Immortal Material from this Chaos Stone.

"There are no Immortal Material. This is the birthplace of the Fire Spirit Cang Yan. It contains a divine substance of fire attribute, which can give birth to a second Fire Spirit in the future. However, at this stage, it is not even a special divine liquid for nurturing Holy Spirit. It will take at least tens of thousands of years before it can begin to nurture Holy Spirit."

Before the Holy Spirit can be conceived, a special divine fluid must first be produced, somewhat similar to the amniotic fluid in a human embryo. Only after this fluid appears can the conception of the Holy Spirit truly begin.

Zhou Tong ignored the Nine-tailed Flood Dragon and directly put the Chaos Stone into the Sun Emperor of the Ten Cave Heaven Divine Rings, next to the Fusang Divine Tree.

"Om!"

As soon as the Chaos Stone entered the Sun Emperor, the Fusang Divine Tree immediately showered down golden rays of light; and the Chaos Stone seemed to come back to life, autonomously absorbing the Solar power emanating from the Fusang Divine Tree.

At the same time, the outer universe also began to further distribute the power of the Great Dao, nurturing the Chaos Stone.

Zhou Tong could clearly see that the divine liquid inside the Chaos Stone began to change, and the original divine minerals began to transform into a special divine liquid that nurtures Holy Spirit.

"My Ten Cave Heaven Divine Rings, although the Sun Emperor can't compare to this place, the Fusang Divine Tree is a treasure... This Chaos Stone has begun to officially nurture a fire spirit!" Zhou Tong realized this and felt a little excited.

He already had several Holy Spirit within his Ten Cave Heaven Divine Rings, but he was missing a Fire Spirit. With each additional Holy Spirit, he could extract even more of the Fortune belonging to the Holy Spirit Lineage.

Heaven and earth nurture the Holy Spirit, just as heaven and earth nurture oneself. This constant nurturing by heaven and earth, this descent of the Great Dao, is one of the reasons why Zhou Tong's cultivation speed is so rapid.

After removing the Chaos Stone, Zhou Tong entered Cang Yan's cave.

This is the cave of a Great Sage who is close to Quasi-Emperor. It contains a great many treasures, which even made the Nine-tailed Flood Dragon following Zhou Tong's side dazzled.

However, Zhou Tong didn't care for most of these things and gave them directly to the Nine-tailed Flood Dragon.

The only thing he could fancy was a jar of Fire Spirit Essence in this cave, which was one of the legendary auxiliary ingredients for refining the Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir, comparable to a small piece of Destiny Stone.

When we reached the deepest part of the cave, we suddenly saw a large area of Jade Tree rooted in the jade wall.

There are a total of forty-nine plants, arranged in groups of seven, each with a different color. Some are like red agate, others are as green as leaves, and still others are as dazzling as gold.

"The Undying Wonderful Tree, Cang Yan is cultivating such a thing, but it's not mature yet!" Zhou Tong skipped over the previous forty-nine trees and found an extremely special seven-colored tree.

The Great Evolution Number is fifty, and its use is forty-nine. It is related to the Great Dao. There should be one more tree, which is the one that has escaped, that is, the true Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree!

These forty-nine Jade Tree are merely the plants it uses to absorb the essence of immortality.

Zhou Tong was very familiar with this thing; he had obtained an incomplete Undying Wonderful Tree in the starry sky.

"Not mature yet, alas!" the Nine-tailed Flood Dragon sighed.

A complete Seven Treasures Technique can be called an "invincible" Saint Weapon, but the current, immature Seven Treasures Technique is still far from being "invincible." Moreover, taking this tree away now is tantamount to interrupting its gestation process, and the future of this Seven Treasures Technique is also ruined.

"Take it if you want it. You should be glad it's not mature yet. It was nurtured by the Fire Spirit Cang Yan, which is close to the Quasi-Emperor. If it matures, it will definitely be the most powerful Great Sage Artifact, and you will have no chance of taking it away." Zhou Tong.

"As for the future of this tree... I will pass on an Ancient Heavenly Venerate technique to you. You can use your own Dao to nurture the Seven Treasures Mystic Art again, and there is still hope!" Zhou Tong casually pointed a finger at the Nine-tailed Flood Dragon's brow and directly transmitted a small technique.

This is an extremely special method of conceiving soldiers, created by the Heavenly Venerable Cao Yusheng who Tribulation Crossing Heavenly Venerable.

The Heavenly Venerable Cao Yusheng, who Tribulation Crossing Heavenly Venerable, was the one who created the Nine Secret: Bing. Duan De's method of Heaven Swallowing Devil Pot was the way to Reversed Soldier Character Secret.

According to the cultivation method of the Nine Secret: Bing," to control all weapons, one must first forge a unique weapon that belongs solely to oneself; this weapon is one's own supreme Supreme Artifact. Only by mastering this most primordial and powerful "one" can one generate two, two generate three, three generate all things, and thus command all weapons.

However, Duan De's method of wielding the Heaven Swallowing Devil Pot was precisely the Reversed Soldier Character Secret technique. He sacrificed ten thousand soldiers to nurture their souls, and then, when the Ruthless Great Emperor lacked independent consciousness, he completely controlled the Heaven Swallowing Devil Pot, making it work for him.

If the orthodox "Nine Secret: Bing" is the method of superiors controlling subordinates, then the reversed "Nine Secret: Bing" is the method of subordinates controlling superiors.

Actually, we can see the clues from Cao Yusheng's Heaven-Piercing Nether Treasure. This Heaven-Piercing Nether Treasure can almost cultivate and grow on its own, and even go out and cause trouble on its own. It is no different from an ordinary cultivator. This is the ultimate manifestation of the weapon spirit. It is a living weapon.
