Myriad Realms Projection

Chen Lingxi's gaze was intense, falling into Wu Mohe's eyes.

Wu Mohe listened silently, and after a few breaths, a slight smile reappeared on his lips.

"The Slaying-Force Cauldron is a precious artifact. Fellow Daoist, you have refined the Ancestral Mountain Mother Qi, so your cultivation must have reached the Eighth Floor. Naturally, you would not give up such fortuitous opportunity."

"I hadn't finished speaking when you got impatient, fellow Daoist."

He said this, and suddenly flicked his sleeve.

A burst of spiritual light suddenly flowed, transforming into a golden toad-shaped magical Law Artifact, shining brightly.

"Fellow Daoist, I also have a Cauldron Artifact Fragment called the Gold-Devouring Toad."

All the rare treasures in the world can fall into the mouth of this Gold-Devouring Toad Cauldron Vessel.

"Gold-Devouring Toad swallows a rare treasure, it can spit out extremely precious pills. The Gathering Qi Pill that you swallowed earlier was spit out by this Gold-Devouring Toad."

Chen Lingxi looked at the Gold-Devouring Toad with some surprise.

Wu Mohe laughed and said, "The agreement in the Jade Law Document is that you, fellow Daoist, will help me once."

However, in the struggle for the Cauldron Vessel, one strike was not enough.

I am willing to offer this Gold-Devouring Toad as payment in exchange for your assistance, fellow Daoist.

To help me obtain the Slaying-Force Cauldron.

"Once this is accomplished, I can gift you a second-grade magic Law Artifact."

Chen Lingxi calm and silent.

Wu Mohe's face, blurred by the mist, furrowed slightly.

He thought for a moment, then said, "I also have an Eighth Floor cultivator under my command."

The reason I want to make a deal with you is to have you join forces with my cultivators to stop that Ten-Star Xi Yu for me.

You killed Xi Yuan, and you have a Xi Yu. He will surely kill you when he comes to seize the Cauldron Vessel.

Since you're going to deal with Xi Yu anyway, why not join forces with me?

Chen Lingxi tentatively asked, "Fellow Daoist's cultivation is unfathomable. Are you perhaps afraid of Xi Yu?"

Wu Mohe shook his head. "Xi Yu's understanding of spiritual realm is not as profound as mine."

Chen Lingxi suddenly realized something.

Then Wu Mohe said, "It's just that these genius cultivators from such high-ranking families have profound foundations and extremely deep understanding of magic and supernatural Divine Ability."

I fought her, but I couldn't kill her instantly, so I inevitably suffered because of her.

Among the Great Zhou, there is also an extraordinary cultivator who will be coming here. I will be competing with him for the Cauldron Vessel, and I will have no time to look after Xi Yu and you.

I might as well make a deal with you.

His tone suddenly turned cold as he spoke, "I know that you are powerful and have seized the Ancestral Mountain Mother Qi within the Ancestral Mountain."

However... even within the vast Cave Heaven, there are several cultivators who have already reached the Ascending Heavenward Realm!

"Apart from me, the other contenders in the struggle for the Cauldron Vessel are all powerful figures from the Great Zhou, and thus, all are Celestial Person."

"If you, fellow Daoist, are unwilling to agree... you may not be able to seize the Slaying-Force Cauldron from me and that person; instead, you might lose your life in vain."

"Instead of that, why not... join forces with me and get my Gold-Devouring Toad!"

The realm of the Heavenward Realm...

Chen Lingxi's eyes flashed, and he said, "No wonder when we met last time, I wanted to exchange the secrets of the Ancestral Mountain Mother Qi for it, but you refused."

So it's because your cultivation is so profound that you look down on that Mother Qi?"

Wu Mohe shook his head. "The Mother Qi is precious, without a doubt, for cultivators at the Ascending Heavenward Realm."

I was also extremely eager to try, but at that time I was preoccupied with trivial matters and was also seeking an fortuitous opportunity.

"I simply didn't have time to attend to my Mother Qi."

"Fellow Daoist, are you willing to agree?"

He asked Chen Lingxi.

Chen Lingxi her finger lightly, and the Jade Law Document closed and fell into Chen Lingxi.

"Although the Gold-Devouring Toad is extremely precious, it is still far inferior to the Slaying-Force Cauldron."

Moreover... since you are willing to give up this Gold-Devouring Toad, it probably proves that the remaining power of this Cauldron Artifact Fragment has been reduced.

I fear that even if the pills were to reach me, they would offer little benefit.

"Even if that's not the case..." Chen Lingxi shook his head and said, "The fragments of the Slaying-Force Cauldron are related to the future competition for the Cauldron Vessel."

"Forgive me... I cannot trade with you, fellow Daoist."

A mist rose from Wu Mohe's face, obscuring his expression.

Chen Lingxi slightly, then continued, "However, if you need anything during the competition for the Cauldron Vessel, I will lend a hand once."

This is to fulfill the contract.

Wu Mohe remained silent, but the spiritual light emanating from his body slowly dissipated.

Just then, Chen Lingxi suddenly called out to Wu Mohe and said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist, I have a Dragon-Qi Talisman here, which was drawn by Xi Yu."

Although his rank was not high, one could still get a glimpse into Xi Yu's methods of Xi Yu Talisman.

With a flick of his finger.

The Dragon-Qi Talisman instantly floated in the air, its runes interlocking and layered, revealing a mysterious spiritual light.

"I am willing to exchange this Dragon-Qi Talisman for the details of that Great Zhou."

Wu Mohe thought for a moment, then said, "This man is named Shi Hong! In this life, he is King Fuguang of the Great Zhou Dynasty!"

This person is different from us; he is a pure body cultivator.

He refined all his spiritual energy into his physical body and cultivated several methods for tempering his body, making his physical body incredibly strong and terrifying.

Chen Lingxi, I know you seized the Ancestral Mountain Mother Qi, and I'm afraid you've already reached the Eighth Floor of perfection.

But if you encounter him, all you need to do is run away.

Otherwise, if he catches you, all your spiritual energy cultivation will likely be devoured by him and become his cultivation resources."

Chen Lingxi an eyebrow.

"The art of devouring?"

He couldn't help but recall the Life-Devouring Method within the Taotie Urn.

As Wu Mohe finished speaking, another stream of Divine Sense flowed through him, and a great deal of information about Shi Hong flowed into Chen Lingxi's mind like gurgling water.

Chen Lingxi immediately learned of several of Zhou Tixiu's Divine Ability.

It's still not detailed enough.

That's normal, after all, Wu Mohe probably doesn't know much about the Great Zhou.

"In that case, I'll trouble you to deliver this Dragon-Qi Talisman to the Hanging-Moon Tavern in Yuan River Prefecture."

"The next time we meet, we may clash over the fragments of that Slaying-Force Cauldron."

"I know you have profound knowledge and Qi Circulation Eighth Floor cultivation. You shouldn't be so stubborn."

Wu Mohe's figure slowly disappeared.

Chen Lingxi remained unmoved.

"This Wu Mohe is unaware that I have already entered the Ninth Floor Realm..."

"However... this battle for the Slaying-Force Cauldron will not be that easy."

"Now, many powerful figures in this Qi-Less Grotto-Heaven have been taken to the palace by Emperor Daye."

Even so, there were still figures like Wu Mohe and Shi Hong of the Great Zhou Dynasty who served the emperor.

These two probably don't know... that the mere Tenth Level of Heavenward Realm Tower is not considered a true powerhouse by Emperor Daye.

Not to mention the unfathomable nature of Emperor Daye, among his many corpses were the corpses of people from the Tenth Level of Heavenward Realm.

Simply mentioning the Eastern King, Yuan Yuan, and the white-haired, Purple-Robed Marquis and the two cultivators from the Tenth Level of Heavenward Realm that he saw when he Sight-Roaming Emperor Daye You Daye, is definitely not enough.

"We must also be wary of powerful figures within the imperial court."

Chen Lingxi silently, then took out the Delayed Light Flying Dagger.

The throwing knife appeared unadorned, except for the strange hourglass that shimmered with spiritual light.

"But who knows how long it will take for this Cauldron Vessel to be produced?"

"If there are another two or three months, the Purple True Treasure Bottle in the Beast-Fighting Palace will be fully blessed."

With the Purple True Treasure Bottle in hand, plus the Delayed Light Flying Dagger, I should be able to put up a fight against the experts on the Tenth Floor."

"Now, let us wait patiently..."

Time flies, and another three months have passed.

Chen Lingxi felt somewhat at ease and returned to the Nanju Twelve Mountains, bringing back the Purple True Treasure Bottle.

"There is very likely something fishy about that Beast-Fighting Palace, and this Purple True Treasure Bottle cannot be trusted entirely."

However, since we are going to compete for the Cauldron Vessel, we must make full use of our resources.

Chen Lingxi's spiritual energy fell into the Purple True Treasure Bottle.

A series of purple wisps of mist began to gather within the Purple True Treasure Bottle.

Extremely sharp forces resided within it.

"This Purple True Treasure Bottle was already extraordinary, and now, after being enhanced several times by Crown Ying Chi using the Beast-Fighting Palace, it has become incredibly powerful."

Chen Lingxi was overjoyed, and a slight smile couldn't be suppressed on her lips.

His Divine Sense and spiritual energy successively entered the Purple True Treasure Bottle, wandering within its array and beginning to slowly refine it.

The spiritual energy continued to circulate within the formation, breaking through its barriers, repeating this process for countless hours.

Until Chen Lingxi slightly moved her mind, the Purple True Treasure Bottle slowly floated in the air.

Chen Lingxi then let out a long breath.

He seemed to have a slight thought.

Suddenly, a wisp of purple qi emanated from the treasure bottle, like a purple snake that had just awakened from its slumber.

"A purple qi is already quite sharp; if all the purple qi in the Purple True Treasure Bottle were to burst forth..."

It would inevitably be like a purple waterfall, enough to overwhelm cultivators at the Qi Circulation Tenth Floor.

Chen Lingxi was not surprised by the power of the Purple True Treasure Bottle.

Back when the Crown Prince was in charge of the Purple True Treasure Bottle, dealing with the assassination attempt by Xiao Zhushan on Inlaid Gold Mountain.

With the Crown Prince's cultivation at the Qi Circulation Sixth Floor, he could easily force Xiao Zhushan to draw his sword and meet the attack.

Although in the end, that purple qi was still shattered by Xiao Zhushan.

However, Chen Lingxi was not the crown prince, and his cultivation was much stronger, allowing him to fully unleash the power of the Purple True Treasure Bottle.

Moreover, the Purple True Treasure Bottle is now much stronger than it was back then.

The smile on Chen Lingxi's lips did not fade as her mind sank back into the mental Divine Chamber.

Inside the Divine Chamber, the clouds churned as usual.

Golden tadpole-shaped characters hung high above the clouds, radiating brilliance.

Chen Lingxi's consciousness focused on the two characters "Total Perception," and then she saw a line of smaller characters attached to them.

Essence Replenishment progress: 62%.

Chen Lingxi's smile vanished, and she frowned involuntarily.

Even if I absorb the profound power from the Beast-Fighting Palace, the next Total Perception is still a long way off.

It seems that this battle for the Slaying-Force Cauldron cannot be won through the Total Perception Evolution; we must be more careful.

Fortunately, my combat strength is now extraordinary.

With this thought in mind, he stopped thinking about it, sat cross-legged, and continued practicing the method of Sight-Roaming.

His consciousness drifted out of the Eastern King Palace with the wisp of smoke in the Divine Chamber, landing directly on the majestic Capital city in the far distance.

Deep within the palace, Emperor Daye remained in seclusion.

Chen Lingxi gained nothing from this Sight-Roaming.

So Chen Lingxi shifted her focus and tentatively Sight-Roaming Lin Suri, whom she hadn't seen in a long time.

Since Lin Suri left Yuan River Prefecture, his whereabouts have been unknown, and he has gone beyond the range of Wandering Sight Divine Ability's influence.

But today, the moment his thought arose, he felt the wisp of smoke in the Divine Chamber suddenly find its place.

His gaze pierced through the thick clouds and landed on a desolate wasteland he had never seen before.

Lin Suri Ri was slowly returning from the edge of that desolate wilderness.

He remained calm and composed, dressed in a black brocade robe, with a jade belt around his waist and his hair ornaments perfectly in place.

His aura had become even deeper and more profound.

As the spiritual energy flowed throughout his body, a dense and profound spiritual energy subtly emanated from it.

"Qi Circulation Eighth Floor"

"Moreover, his aura is powerful and his foundation is solid, far beyond what one would expect from someone who has just entered the Eighth Floor."

Chen Lingxi was not surprised.

Lin Suri has a profound background, and his talent is very likely to be much stronger than that of Xi Yu.

The reason this person's cultivation level is lagging behind is simply because he has only been in this world for a short time.

If he had come to this Cave Heaven- heaven with Xi Yu and other figures, he would probably have already reached the Heavenward Realm.

"However, Lin Suri was lucky. If he had reached the Heavenward Realm realm earlier, he might have been targeted by Emperor Daye and taken to the palace."

Chen Lingxi shook her head slightly, but then she saw Lin Suri raise his head.

A glint of inspiration flashed in his eyes.

Immediately afterward, through Lin Suri's perspective, Chen Lingxi clearly saw that a formation was slowly being constructed in the Void not far above Chen Lingxi's head!

A mystical golden Spiritual Qi spread out in all directions from Lin Suri's body.

They intertwined and clashed in the Void, echoing each other, and were slowly constructing an extremely complex array.

The array was only about ten feet in diameter, but when it shone with spiritual light, it resembled a mirror.

At this moment, many scenes were reflected in that mirror of spiritual light.

Chen Lingxi focused his gaze and saw towering mountains suspended in mid-air, magnificent palaces, and a place that resembled a fairyland.

Chen Lingxi had already seen this scene during his Sight-Roaming.

"This mirror reflects the Dao-Below Academy?"

Chen Lingxi was somewhat surprised.

The next instant, he saw in the mirror several blurry figures sitting cross-legged on a mountaintop.

They were shrouded in mist.

Then, an astonishing aura and brilliant inspiration surged forth, becoming incomparably powerful.

That aura was too strong; it seemed that even a slight leak of it could easily suppress Chen Lingxi.

Chen Lingxi her face.

He suddenly remembered a Cauldron Vessel that he had only heard of before.

[Myriad Realms Projection]!

Lin Suri's red-robed senior uncle once said that once he discovered fortuitous opportunity for Immortal Husk, he would borrow the Myriad Realms Projection.

The powerful figures from the Projection Pool-Soul Institute have come to this Cave Heaven to vie for the opportunity to undergo Immortal Husk.

"This faintly visible mirror of spiritual light is probably related to the Myriad Realms Projection."

Chen Lingxi immediately understood that Lin Suri had been missing for a long time, probably to plan and set up an array to guide the powerful figures from the Dao-Below Academy to descend into the Cave Heaven!

"Judging from this, the formation is probably complete."

"But who knows when these powerful figures from the Dao-Below Academy will project themselves?"

He suddenly remembered what Xi Yuan had said earlier.

If in that Great Xuanzhuo Realm there is a Dao Foundation Realm cultivator who is willing to guide him with the Dao Platform Profound Root.

He could then leave this Qi-Less Grotto-Heaven.

"The arrival of a powerful figure from the Dao-Below Academy presents me with an opportunity."

"I just don't know... when these Dao-Below Academy cultivators will actually arrive."

His eyes flickered, landing on the Zhuozhao River.

The river was swift and turbulent, and a Killing Power permeated its flow.

"Very well, since a strong person has come, I can also... fish in troubled waters."
