The Complete Cauldron Vessel-Dao-Seizing Tree
Chen Lingxi's eyes flickered slightly.
He had already learned from Sight-Roaming that Emperor Daye was also a native of the area.
Even now, hearing Emperor Daye say it himself, he was still surprised.
Surprised, his gaze grew even calmer as he stared at Emperor Daye, pondering for a moment before suddenly asking, "If I'm not mistaken, besides Emperor Daye just mentioned, the Mirror-Listening Cauldron can perhaps mark the Rebirth Realm through some means?"
Emperor Daye shook his head. "The fragments of the Mirror-Listening Cauldron can only mark those with great fortuitous opportunity. However, the vast majority of these people with great fortuitous opportunity are those who Rebirth Realm Truth-Seekers."
Chen Lingxi a deep breath and continued to ask, "With Emperor Daye's cultivation being so profound, there should be no one in this realm who can rival you."
If that's the case, why did Emperor Daye and extermination of the entire clans of those hundred families?
How could ordinary Truth-Seekers possibly threaten you?
Emperor Daye remained calm as always, as if the lives of so many people were insignificant. "The Mirror-Listening Cauldron can calculate that those who possess great fortuitous opportunity in this world are destined for greatness."
Unfortunately... most of the Rebirth Realm were still in a state of silence when the Mirror-Listening Cauldron predicted their passing.
Later, I realized that these Rebirth Realm individuals often experienced great upheavals and calamities, causing their minds to become chaotic, before they could awaken the memories of the Great Xuanzhuo Realm."
Chen Lingxi suddenly realized and nodded, saying, "So Emperor Daye still wanted to confiscate the property and exterminate the entire family of those hundred families, leaving only one or two bloodlines alive."
Those with such bloodlines are either people with great fortuitous opportunity or those who Truth-Seeking Realm Cauldron-Seizing Realm.
On the contrary, those who Truth-Seekers whose homes were ransacked and whose entire families were exterminated.
Emperor Daye nodded slowly, gazing at Chen Lingxi with increasingly profound eyes.
"The entire Linchuan family is a humble household, while the Youzhu Chen Family has been a scholarly family for generations. However... what do family matters and clan affairs mean to cultivation and immortality?"
"Even if I don't kill them, they will still die, and this entire Cave Heaven will be reduced to ashes."
"If I don't kill them, you might not be able to obtain that mysterious fortuitous opportunity and embark on the path of cultivation."
"Chen Lingxi... Once you embark on the path to immortality and the Dao Foundation Realm, you must relinquish everything from the past. Otherwise, if your Dao heart is tainted, how can you attain immortality?"
As he finished speaking, he slowly stood up, stepped down from the rock, and walked to the seaside with his hands behind his back.
The sun was slowly setting in the distance, and night was gradually swallowing up this vast sea.
The sea breeze was strong, and even Emperor Daye's words were broken and intermittent.
"You and I are both citizens of this world, natives of this land!"
Those who Rebirth Realm regard you and me as ants, this world as a hunting ground, and the billions of living beings in this world as worthless weeds.
Even the fate of you and me would likely be that the True Lord, along with this grotto -Cave Heaven, would be refined into World Essence, becoming cultivation resources for the geniuses of the Quexing Xi Family.
These things... everyone who Rebirth Realm knows them, and I suppose you already know them too."
"I... am not reconciled!"
"I imagine you're not content with this either, so I'm leaving this world, and you're leaving this world too."
Since that's the case, the two of us...
The fire in Emperor Daye's eyes burned even brighter. "Why don't we join forces?"
Join forces?
Chen Lingxi silent for a moment, the images on the Mirror Listening still swirling in her mind.
He recalled the scene of his parents being beheaded.
The images were so vivid that they stirred up emotions within him once more.
However... Chen Lingxi raised her head and glanced at the Void above, which was already shrouded in night.
Twin Luminous Mirrors there, their golden and silvery reflections falling on the sea, adding a touch of mystery to the Heaven Gate Sea.
"Emperor Daye is undoubtedly a ruthless person." Under the bright light of the mirror, Chen Lingxi's thoughts flowed. "Sight-Roaming, this person was obviously plotting against me. It seems that once I stepped into the Heavenward Realm realm, he wanted to use me as some kind of cultivation resource."
But now they want to join forces with me...
Chen Lingxi's eyes flickered.
Whether he agrees or resists within this Total Perception Divine Chamber, the Divine Chamber will ultimately shatter and leave no trace.
Even so, Chen Lingxi still wanted to make some plans.
So Chen Lingxi slowly raised his head and met the eyes of the Emperor Daye, which were burning with golden flames. "Dao Foundation Realm cultivators are great cultivators, and within this realm's Cave Heaven, no one is their match."
If Emperor Daye were willing, he could perhaps conquer all the countries under heaven in an instant, and the Great Zhou, which had always been a rival to the Great Li, should also be able to be destroyed in the blink of an eye... far stronger than me.
However... in the eyes of the True Lord of the Quexing Xi Family, even a Dao Foundation Realm expert is probably nothing more than an ant that jumps a little higher.
How can the two of us possibly escape this Cave Heaven?
Emperor Daye turned around and said, "The Great Dao is profound; when a realm perishes, a glimmer of life will naturally remain."
He stared directly into Chen Lingxi's eyes. "I obtained a Cauldron Artifact Fragment that can erase all traces of the two of us. Even True Lord Monarch would be unable to detect it."
If the two of us can escape this Cave Heaven, we can go straight to the Great Xuanzhuo Realm...
From then on, we were like raindrops falling into this vast ocean; even the most powerful figures of the Quexing Xi Family would never be able to find our traces.
"And for the two of us, all we need to do is find a way out."
Chen Lingxi's pupils narrowed. "But where are those Cauldron Artifact Fragment?"
Emperor Daye remained expressionless, but also remained silent, gazing intently at Chen Lingxi.
Once Chen Lingxi understood, he nodded almost without hesitation and said, "I am willing to join forces with the Sage and sign the Jade Law Document."
But I don't know what the sage... wants me to do?
Emperor Daye turned to look at Chen Lingxi: "Within this realm, you will serve me, and I will bestow upon you a great fortuitous opportunity."
A great fortuitous opportunity?
What is a great fortuitous opportunity?
Emperor Daye replied, "This great fortuitous opportunity is extremely precious even in the Great Xuanzhuo Realm. Perhaps ordinary Cauldron Vessel cannot compare to such a great fortuitous opportunity."
Chen Lingxi was even more puzzled. "If such a great fortuitous opportunity exists, why doesn't the sage take it for himself? Why bestow it upon me?"
Emperor Daye shook his head and sighed, "I obtained this fortuitous opportunity too late. My Dao Path is already set, and such a great fortuitous opportunity is no longer within my reach."
That's why I'm handing this great fortuitous opportunity over to you!
"Then what do I have to give in return?" Chen Lingxi asked.
Golden flames flickered in Emperor Daye's eyes. "I bestow upon you a great fortuitous opportunity, but if you obtain the Mystery Mechanism to escaping this Cave Heaven, you must not leave alone; you must take me with you to escape this world."
"Until then, neither of us shall bring ourselves to kill the other."
That's it?
By making such an agreement with a Dao Foundation Realm cultivator, wasn't he getting an enormous advantage?
Chen Lingxi was suspicious, but she frowned and pretended to think for a while before nodding in agreement.
Emperor Daye narrowed his eyes slightly, and with a flick of his sleeve, a Jade Law Document appeared.
Just as the two were about to sign the Jade Law Document, Chen Lingxi seemed to suddenly remember something and said, "Now that the alliance has been settled, there is still one thing I would like to ask the Sage."
Emperor Daye nodded, signaling Chen Lingxi to speak.
Chen Lingxi said frankly, "There are countless Truth-Seekers. They come to this seemingly desolate Cave Heaven all because they want to find the Cauldron Vessel in the Heaven Gate Sea."
Sage... I know this Cauldron Vessel is here, but I don't know if I can go... to take a look."
Emperor Daye looked at Chen Lingxi, his aged face showing some surprise.
"I originally thought you came to the Heaven Gate Sea for the purpose of inscribing this Dao Foundation Divine Ability Inscription."
I originally thought you were lingering at the Heaven Gate Sea in search of other fortuitous opportunity within the Heaven Gate Sea.
Unexpectedly, they actually learned that a complete Cauldron Vessel was hidden in the Heaven Gate Sea...
Many Truth-Seekers throughout the world are unaware of this... It seems your fortuitous opportunity is indeed extraordinary."
Chen Lingxi listened silently.
After some thought, Emperor Daye added another clause to the Jade Law Document, agreeing to take Chen Lingxi to see the complete Cauldron Vessel.
The two then signed the Jade Law Document.
Emperor Daye put away the Jade Law Document that had been split in two, his eyes revealing no emotion, as calm and unfathomable as the sea when there was no wind.
He turned around and shakily stepped onto the small boat shrouded in clouds.
Chen Lingxi got up and followed, and the two stood one in front of the other on the small boat.
The small cloud boat then took off, breaking through the clouds and mist, and flew towards the depths of the Heaven Gate Sea.
There was no strong spiritual energy on the cloud boat; it was like a small cloud, drifting quietly in the sea breeze and under the night sky.
But his speed was incredibly fast.
It was much faster than Chen Lingxi's Cloud-Riding Method in the Mystic Realm.
Wherever the small cloud boat passed, the clouds and mist in the sky retreated on their own.
As the cloud-like boat fell into the sea, the seawater seemed to be sliced open by a god wielding a blade, creating a water wall tens of feet high on both sides of the cloud-like boat.
Countless deep-sea fish and shrimp fell down, which was extremely mysterious.
The small boat traveled for a while before falling into the sea and slowly sinking.
The small cloud boat continued its descent, passing underwater mountains and volcanoes, until it finally arrived at a dark and secluded place.
This is the deepest part of the Heaven Gate Sea, where sunlight can no longer penetrate, and it is pitch black all around.
At this moment, only in the eyes of Emperor Daye beside Chen Lingxi, the two golden flames were still burning and flickering.
But all I saw was...
Emperor Daye slightly flicked his sleeve!
A ripple suddenly appeared from the depths of the sea.
Ripples spread out, as if something had been blown away.
Chen Lingxi then looked ahead.
Then he saw a tree.
It appeared to be a small tree cast in bronze, only about the height of a person, and was as exquisite as a decorative piece in the home of a nobleman in the capital.
Upon closer inspection, the ancient wood grain is clearly visible on the bronze bark, as if it were naturally grown on the bronze.
The branches stretched out horizontally and diagonally, resembling dragons coiled on the trunk.
This ancient bronze tree stood quietly on the dark seabed, without a trace of Spiritual Qi circulating within it, without a ray of light emanating from it, and without any of the aura of a warehouse that Chen Lingxi had imagined.
It was like a rock growing on the seabed, utterly devoid of any vitality.
It was so well hidden; no wonder Chen Lingxi didn't notice it at all, even when he used the Qi Observation Technique.
But when Chen Lingxi's gaze fell upon the ancient bronze tree, she couldn't help but catch her breath.
This is because a fruit hangs among the many branches of this ancient bronze tree.
The fruit was no bigger than a fist, and it appeared to be made of bronze, its color matching that of the ancient bronze tree.
It hung quietly on the branch, yet seemed to exude some kind of mysterious aura, an aura that was completely out of place in this Cave Heaven, which greatly amazed Chen Lingxi.
Emperor Daye stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the ancient bronze tree before him, and slowly spoke, "This is the Cauldron Vessel from the Heaven Gate Sea!"
"Many major sects and minor sects in the Great Xuanzhuo Realm used the Rebirth Pool to enter the Cave Heaven, and what they all referred to was this Cauldron Vessel!"
Chen Lingxi felt a slight tremor in her heart as she gazed at the ancient bronze tree and the fruit atop it from afar.
A subtle flow of spiritual energy emanated from his eyes, and his method of Qi Observation suddenly came to mind as he gazed at the ancient bronze tree.
In the next instant, he vaguely sensed an indescribable, terrifying power covering the ancient bronze tree.
That power was formless and intangible, yet incredibly violent.
With Chen Lingxi's current cultivation level, he simply cannot comprehend such terrifying power.
"This is probably the Void Turbulence..."
Chen Lingxi's eyes were burning.
Whether it's a complete Cauldron Vessel or just a fragment, once it falls into Cave Heaven realm, it will retain terrifying Void Turbulence.
Once the Void Turbulence dissipates, it is said to be the birth of Cauldron Vessel, and only then can cultivators obtain it.
Void Turbulence dissipates, the aura of the Cauldron Vessel will also diffuse and become known to all.
Chen Lingxi was not surprised; instead, she focused her gaze on the bronze fruit.
His eyes flickered slightly.
"There is no Void Turbulence on this bronze fruit."
Chen Lingxi a deep breath, stepped out of the cloud boat, and came to the bronze fruit.
Emperor Daye thought about it and did not stop it.
Chen Lingxi out a wisp of her Divine Sense, which fell into the bronze fruit.
In an instant, all sorts of mysterious phenomena began to flow from there!
Chen Lingxi sensed the message emanating from the bronze fruit and couldn't help but look surprised.
"This ancient bronze tree is actually Cauldron Vessel [the Dao-Seizing Tree]!"
"On the Cauldron Vessel, every so often, a [Dao-Seizing Fruit] will grow! It is not a cultivation resource... but this single fruit can absorb the aura of the Cauldron Vessel's master!"
"By Dao-Seizing Fruit the aura of the cauldron master, one can capture the power of the Cauldron Vessel into the fruit and use it once."
"If there is no aura of the cauldron master, simply let this Dao-Seizing Fruit grow on the Dao-Seizing Tree."
As the fruit slowly ripens, it can also absorb the power of a certain Cauldron Vessel from between heaven and earth, randomly incorporating that Cauldron Vessel into itself.
In other words... obtaining this fruit is equivalent to possessing a Cauldron Vessel that can be used temporarily.
"With this Dao-Seizing Tree, it's as if one possesses Cauldron Vessel of myriad Daos!"
Chen Lingxi silently recited in her heart, her eyes shining brightly!
