A New Cauldron Artifact Fragment Opportunity?

Chen Lingxi's expression changed slightly, and his pupils suddenly contracted.

But Liu Changle said, "In my dream, my cultivation is getting weaker and weaker. Even if I don't die in the future, I'm afraid I will no longer be able to protect Sun-Watching Peak."

In my dream, I seemed to know how to guide the people of the Cave Heaven to that world filled with immortal energy.

"If you wish, I will remain asleep and, with my own Dao Platform and my own Profound Root, guide you to that world."

"If we succeed, I hope you will look after the Sun-Watching Peak in the future."

Chen Lingxi couldn't help but take a deep breath.

The glimmer of hope he had been searching for was found with Liu Changle.

Now, all he needs to do is nod, and Liu Changle will likely use his dream self, his own Dao Platform, and his own Profound Root to guide him, allowing him to completely leave this Qi-Less Grotto-Heaven.

only...

Chen Lingxi pondered for a moment, then suddenly asked, "If I nod, what will you do in my dream?"

Liu Changle smiled and shook his head, "But it will only make me weaker."

"Changle," Chen Lingxi said with a serious expression, "You've lived with me for over a year, and you've taken care of me during many of my illnesses."

After the drug trial, I was in excruciating pain, and it was you who gave up your own medicine to save my life.

I've seen you deceive Wang Kong many times; you can't fool me."

Liu Changle sighed and remained silent.

Chen Lingxi remained silent. After a few moments, he asked again, "If your Dao Platform were to explore this Cave Heaven, you would be already weak and die as a result."

So what about you in this world?

This time, Liu Changle said very seriously, "I really don't know. I might die, or I might simply stop dreaming about another world."

"We can't take the risk," Chen Lingxi thought to herself after careful consideration.

and...

"Changle asked me to look after the Sun-Watching Peak, but once he led me to the Great Xuanzhuo Realm..."

It seems unlikely that the Quexing Xi Family could refine the World Essence enough to forge a great Mysterious Golden Grotto.

The True Lord's Divine Ability are unfathomably mysterious. If he finds me, he will know that it was Liu Changle of Sun-Watching Peak who led me there.

Perhaps they will take their anger out on the Sun-Watching Peak."

"Changle cares so much about Sun-Watching Peak. If Sun-Watching Peak were to perish because of me, how could I face him?"

Chen Lingxi was educated in the classics.

In the pursuit of immortality, people sometimes resort to any means necessary, while at other times they must refrain from certain actions.

"This is not the optimal solution. Let's wait and see... The best solution would be for the incarnation of the Long River within the Ancestral Mountain to awaken, preventing the True Lord Monarch of the Quexing Xi Family from refining this Cave Heaven!"

As Chen Lingxi pondered this, her gaze fell upon Liu Changle.

"It's just unknown whether Liu Changle, as the embodiment of the Great Sage River, will be able to continue existing now that the Great Sage Luo Yuan's avatar has awakened."

"Fortunately, I possess the ability of Total Perception, which allows me to experiment and learn from mistakes."

Chen Lingxi pondered for a moment, then another possibility came to mind.

"The Emperor Daye once said that he possessed a treasure that could make the world completely ignore and forget others."

"If I could obtain this treasure, I could have Liu Changle try it out during the Total Perception."

"If Liu Changle of the Great Xuanzhuo Realm saves me with his Dao Platform, and Liu Changle of this Realm is not affected, then it's fine."

Liu Changle's memories from the two worlds now seem to have become interconnected.

This is equivalent to each other being clones.

Therefore, if only one of them survives, it is equivalent to both of them surviving.

Liu Changle saw that Chen Lingxi was unwilling to let him be guided to salvation by the Dao Platform, and knew in his heart that Chen Lingxi was afraid that he would perish in this world.

However, he was genuinely worried about the situation at Sun-Watching Peak, and could only sigh deeply.

"If you change your mind, come find me here."

The two drank tea and reminisced about many things from the past.

As Chen Lingxi was about to leave, Liu Changle stood up to see him off before climbing onto the bed and continuing to sleep.

Liu Changle was asleep in this Qi-Less Grotto-Heaven.

Liu Changle, from the Dragon-Offering Peaks of the Great Xuanzhuo Realm, opened his eyes.

The intense pain emanating from his Dao Platform, Profound Root, physical body, and Consciousness Sea caused him to frown.

A hint of worry appeared on his slightly weathered face.

"Cheng Shiyan..." he called softly.

A robust man walked in from outside, his face solemn and his eyes resolute. He bowed to Liu Changle and said, "Uncle-Master."

"Have you evacuated my disciples?"

Cheng Shiyan nodded slightly, then spoke softly, "There are still a small number of disciples who are unwilling to leave, wanting to live and die with my Sun-Watching Peak."

Liu Changle sighed.

"You should come down the mountain with Qing Jian. If you don't leave, Qing Jian won't leave either, and we'll inevitably fall into that demon's hands..."

Just then, Zhu Qingjian walked in from outside the door, dressed in white, with a refined and extraordinary appearance.

She seemed pleased.

"Uncle-Master... Zhuo Jiaowu obtained an extraordinary spiritual insight and is now in seclusion."

Liu Changle was slightly taken aback, but then a look of delight appeared on his face. "How did you know?"

Zhu Qingjian produced a spirit letter. "This spirit letter comes from Azure Heaven Peak and is unsigned. It must have been sent by Senior Sister Shi Xi relationship."

Shi Xi?

Liu Changle's face lit up with even greater joy.

Sun-Watching Peak found a glimmer of hope.

--

Chen Lingxi returned to the Eastern King Palace, feeling somewhat lost and dejected.

He knew that if he agreed, he might be able to go to the Great Xuanzhuo Realm soon.

However, there are many things in this world that cannot be done against one's principles.

He stopped thinking about it and continued to cultivate and refine the Myriad-Nurturing Dao Lotus Qi.

Time passed quietly, and more than ten days went by in the blink of an eye.

On this day, Chen Lingxi slowly opened her eyes, a hint of irritation appearing in her expression.

Refining the Myriad-Nurturing Dao Lotus Qi wasn't too difficult, but towards the end, it became increasingly difficult, or perhaps it was because Chen Lingxi was distracted.

Several times, when the refining process reached a critical point, something always went wrong.

Sometimes, spiritual energy vibrates with Treasure Qi, causing the Treasure Qi to disperse and then gather back into the Void.

Sometimes, Chen Lingxi's spiritual energy would flow by without him noticing the crucial bottleneck within the Treasure Qi, thus causing him to fail at the last moment.

"It was just a few steps away, but it just wouldn't work."

"Perhaps it's because I've been in seclusion refining the Treasure Qi for too long, which has made me restless and unable to concentrate on the refining process."

Chen Lingxi thought for a moment, and a thought suddenly came to mind.

"My cultivation level is no longer weak; there are very few who can defeat me in this Cave Heaven."

Now that you've reached a bottleneck in your practice, why not take a walk around, both to Opportunity Seeking and to clear your mind?

Chen Lingxi then walked out of the Eastern King Palace and rose into the air on a cloud.

He randomly chose a direction, and with the Wonder-Realm Cloud-Riding Method, accompanied by lightning, he sped away into the depths of the sky.

Chen Lingxi then sat cross-legged on the cloud and continued to refine the Treasure Qi.

As expected, the refining of the Treasure Qi went extremely smoothly. In just one day, the Myriad-Nurturing Dao Lotus Qi completely disappeared from the Void before Chen Lingxi's eyes and fell into Chen Lingxi's Qi Sea, where it submitted to the vast spiritual Qi along with the other three Treasure Qi.

A slight smile appeared on Chen Lingxi.

"It seems that traveling around can sometimes be beneficial to spiritual practice."

"Let's just walk a little further away."

Thinking this, he let the Cloud-Riding Method take him soaring through the sky, flying and moving forward.

He flew for countless miles and over countless cities.

Chen Lingxi knew that he had already left the territory of Great Li and arrived in Great Zhou.

Throughout the journey, Chen Lingxi continuously practiced the Qi Observation Technique, observing the world beneath his feet, hoping to find one or two fortuitous opportunity.

Upon reaching the territory of the Great Zhou, he saw a mountain in the distance.

The mountain looked unremarkable, with hardly any greenery, and appeared rather desolate.

However, in Chen Lingxi's eyes, the mountain exuded an ancient aura that filled the Void and even stirred the surrounding spiritual energy, which greatly surprised Chen Lingxi.

"My fortuitous opportunity has indeed arrived."

A smile appeared on his face, "There must be a Cauldron Artifact Fragment in this mountain, and this Cauldron Artifact Fragment such a strong ancient aura that it must be extraordinary."

Chen Lingxi was quite pleased that she could encounter such fortuitous opportunity while casually strolling around.

"Brother Lin once told me on the summit of the snow mountain that there are still many extraordinary cultivators in the world."

They are born with a unique constitution, and some are called "Immortal Embryo." They do not need to cultivate in their daily lives. They can absorb and exhale spiritual energy at will by breathing, walking, and resting. Their cultivation speed is extremely fast.

Some are said to possess Divine Ability Wonder Body, able to easily master Divine Ability arts and techniques in the world with just a glance, and directly reach the Mystic Realm.

Some people possess Heavenly Fortune Treasure Body, which is almost indistinguishable from the Dao-Fortune Dharma Slip Cauldron Vessel; even if they go out to beg for food, they can find treasures.

"I just stumbled upon a Cauldron Artifact Fragment while I was wandering around. Such fortuitous opportunity, even if I don't have Heavenly Fortune Treasure Body, will definitely make me much stronger than an ordinary cultivator."

Chen Lingxi, feeling quite pleased with himself, praised himself in his heart before letting the clouds descend from the mountaintop.

On the cliff face of that mountain, there is a protruding rock.

A pine tree grows on the mountain rock, and this pine tree is like a welcoming pine tree, with its branches extending far out of the mountain rock, and its needles are green and lush.

From atop the pine tree, Chen Lingxi spotted a treasure chest in the distance.

The treasure chest was covered in dust, and to the naked eye, it showed no signs of anything extraordinary.

However, when Chen Lingxi used the method of Qi Observation to focus on it, he saw that the extremely rich and heavy ancient aura came from this treasure chest.

Chen Lingxi released a stream of spiritual energy, which instantly captured the treasure chest and placed it in the Void in front of him.

"It really is a Cauldron Artifact Fragment."

Chen Lingxi in satisfaction, a hint of surprise still lingering in her eyes.

"But we don't know what wonderful use this Cauldron Artifact Fragment is."

As he pondered, he was about to infuse his own spiritual energy into the treasure chest to awaken the Cauldron Artifact Fragment...

But in the next instant, Chen Lingxi suddenly remembered something.

His consciousness entered the Divine Chamber, where tadpole-like characters shimmered with golden light on the thick clouds.

[Progress of Total Perception Essence Replenishment: 73%]

Chen Lingxi's progress in Total Perception Essence Replenishment her vital energy is not far from perfection.

The reason it was so fast this time was because of that Myriad-Nurturing Dao Lotus Qi. Refining this Qi allowed Chen Lingxi his Total Perception Essence Replenishment his vital energy by more than thirty percent.

"Cauldron Artifact Fragment can always provide a lot of Total Perception Essence Replenishment."

"This treasure chest has such a strong ancient aura, yet it hasn't increased my progress in Essence Replenishment by even a fraction."

Chen Lingxi's eyes remained calm, revealing no clue whatsoever.

But he became increasingly wary.

"Thinking back carefully, when I was refining the Treasure Qi in the Eastern King Palace, there was no hindrance at all, and it went very smoothly at first."

However, towards the end, problems kept arising during the refining process.

"Then, that strange thought popped into my head: to come and wander around this Great Zhou."

"It's quite a coincidence that I found this Cauldron Artifact Fragment while I was just wandering around."

And I myself didn't feel there was anything wrong with it at all; on the contrary, I was pleased with my own good fortuitous opportunity."

Chen Lingxi pondered this for a moment, then took a deep breath.

"Who is plotting against me?"

His gaze was fixed intently on the treasure chest engraved with ancient patterns.

Having embarked on the path of immortality, even within this Cave Heaven, Chen Lingxi has already witnessed many bizarre and unpredictable methods.

"Great Divine Ability and Cauldron Vessel all possess this power."

"Could it be that Emperor Daye is plotting against me?"

Chen Lingxi thought of this, but then shook her head slightly.

"Emperor Daye is currently healing his wounds... If he wanted to kill me, why would he bother with such elaborate schemes?"

"The Dao-Below Academy cultivators around Lin Suri were also busy healing their injuries and had no motive to attack me."

He took a deep breath.

"That's a bit strange."
