The Chan Zhaofu sent those wisps of Great Luo Dark Qi into the Void!

Through the perspective of the Chan Zhaofu, Chen Lingxi clearly saw that in the depths of the void where the Dark Qi had disappeared, a huge mirror was slowly rotating.

The mirror surface was as black as ink, with countless tiny points of light floating and flickering in its depths, like a galaxy confined to a small space.

As the Great Luo Dark Qi was poured into it, a ripple suddenly spread out from the depths of the mirror.

Ripples spread outwards, transforming into layers of Daoist script, extending outwards in concentric circles from the center of the mirror.

Each circle of inscriptions is different, and the messages engraved on them are also varied and arranged in layers!

Chen Lingxi was still in shock, because the number of streams of Great Luo Dark Qi that the Chan Zhaofu had just poured into the bright mirror was terrifying!

"There are at least 3 million strands of Great Luo Dark Qi."

Chen Lingxi pondered in her heart.

He had previously taken advantage of being the first to reach the Great Luo Heaven-Observing Realm, and spent several years gathering 30,000 units of Great Luo Dark Qi.

This Chan Zhaofu is quite something; it consumes 3 million strands of Great Luo Dark Qi just for a single Cauldron Artifact Fortune. Such extravagance truly makes him envious.

He then thought...

"It's not surprising. Chan Zhaofu noble status. He is both Great Luo Heavenly Immortal and the Crown Prince of the Entwined-Dragon Palace. Moreover, he is so young, yet his cultivation is already extremely profound. He is probably not far from the Golden Grotto Realm."

It's perfectly normal for someone of their stature to be able to gather so much Great Luo Dark Qi.

"However, surprisingly... this Great Luo Heaven-Observing Mirror is truly wondrous; it can even gather Cauldron Artifact Fortune."

The Cauldron Vessel is incredibly mysterious and extremely rare.

The Great Luo Heaven-Observing Mirror is itself a Cauldron Vessel, yet it can reveal the Cauldron Artifact Fortune...

Therefore, there are also differences in quality among Cauldron Vessel.

Chen Lingxi thought silently to himself, while in the Great Luo Heaven-Observing Mirror, the golden halo around the Chan Zhaofu flowed slightly, enveloping his entire body in layers of radiance.

In the void, the starlight suddenly intensified.

A circle of Daoist script slowly emerged from the depths of the mirror and landed before the Chan Zhaofu.

Through the Chan Zhaofu, Chen Lingxi clearly saw the information about a Cauldron Vessel slowly emerging from the circle of Daoist inscriptions.

Cauldron Vessel!

[The Forge of Gods.]

Chen Lingxi's mind stirred, and her expression became serious.

This Cauldron Vessel can combine two supernatural Divine Ability into a single, more powerful Divine Ability by incorporating them into a furnace.

After merging into one, the two Divine Ability became intertwined, mysterious and profound!

What's even more mysterious is that there is no upper limit to the capacity of this Cauldron Vessel.

If one could master many Divine Ability and combine them in pairs, it would be highly likely to create an extremely terrifying Divine Ability.

This kind of Divine Ability is different from great Divine Ability.

"Therefore, if one were to master numerous Divine Ability and ultimately create an unimaginably profound Divine Ability, could such Divine Ability surpass even the greatest supernatural Divine Ability?"

Chen Lingxi was surprised, as he already had a great deal of knowledge about the power of the Cauldron Vessel.

In this Great Xuanzhuo Realm, the Cauldron Vessel are far more profound and mysterious than great Divine Ability.

"If I could wield the immense power of such Cauldron Vessel, I could try to combine the Jade Tiger Sea-Reversing Sword Light with the Thunder-Wielding Heavenly King Sword into one. In that case, wouldn't the Killing Power of this Sword Qi be even more formidable?"

Just as Chen Lingxi's thoughts began to stir, the second half of the message followed.

Although this Cauldron Vessel is extremely precious, not just anyone can handle and wield it.

There are many conditions required to master this Cauldron Vessel.

The Great Luo Heaven gave three points:

Firstly, cultivators must Dao Foundation Perfection Stage stage;

Secondly, the cultivator needs five fragments of Cauldron Artifact Fragment as a catalyst to ignite the furnace.

Thirdly, a massive amount of Spirit Stone are required when refining Divine Ability.

Chen Lingxi her tongue in amazement. This Cauldron Vessel was indeed extraordinary, with each condition being quite demanding.

"However, these conditions are nothing to Chan Zhaofu."

He shook his head slightly, showing some regret.

"This Cauldron Vessel was lost in the Savage Wilderness, never seeing the Cauldron Vessel of day. It seems obtaining it wasn't difficult at all, which is a bit of a pity."

Chen Lingxi shook her head slightly. "But if I can't control it, I can't bring this Cauldron Vessel back."

His current cultivation level is only at the Dao Foundation Middle Stage, and he is still far from the perfection. As a result, the first condition of this Divine Furnace alone has already blocked him.

Chen Lingxi slowly exhaled a breath of stale air.

He gazed at the Chan Zhaofu, closed his eyes again, sat upright in the hall, and slowly gathered the Dao Origin around his body.

Ruihe and Chan Zhaofu did not immediately set off to search for that Cauldron Vessel.

He simply sat quietly atop the palace.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to Sight-Roaming, Chen Lingxi waited a while longer to confirm that after exchanging the Chan Zhaofu, there was no sign of him leaving the hall immediately. Only then did he slowly withdraw his consciousness from the Divine Chamber.

Inside the Water-Curtain Cave.

Chen Lingxi opened her eyes.

The light from the few Night Spirit Stone in the cave was now quietly surging from his side, casting a peaceful, warm glow on the stone wall.

He stood up from the blue stone, parted the curtain of water, and stepped out of the cave.

The sunlight outside the cave was just right.

The phantom of the Divine Deer hung high in the Void, and the rosy light descended from the sky, illuminating the many ridges of Deer-Sleeping Peak.

Chen Lingxi first went to the green Green Bamboo in front of the Water-Curtain Cave.

Those few Fengluo Bamboo grew extremely vigorously over the course of two years, their roots emerging from the Spirit Soil in several sections, each section bearing fine, green, sharp points.

Its sharpness wasn't particularly keen, but it gleamed with a faint bluish hue in the sunlight, like a series of unsheathed small swords trembling Subtle Insight in the wind.

"This treasure is far more powerful than I imagined."

Chen Lingxi took out the Sword-Nurturing Cage that Xu Sanchi had given him from the Hongdong Bag.

The cage was no bigger than a fist, and its entire body was woven from dark gold threads, with layers upon layers of runes engraved on it.

He Sword-Nurturing Cage in his palm and slowly activated it with Dao Origin.

The runes lit up one after another, and a wisp of extremely gentle spiritual energy arose from within the cage, like a spiritual field hidden within a small space, silently spreading across the ground.

Chen Lingxi stirred the Spirit Soil under the roots of the Green Bamboo stalks again, and then moved the Green Bamboo stalks into the cage.

The moment the Green Bamboo was placed in the cage, a spiritual energy immediately surged within, quietly circulating around the roots and stems of the Green Bamboo stalks.

Several Green Bamboo unfurled Subtle Insight this inspiration, their verdant luster brightening once more.

Chen Lingxi in satisfaction, put the Sword-Nurturing Cage out of his sleeve, and turned back into the cave.

For the next few days, he spent his time in the cave practicing breathing exercises, meditating, and contemplating.

But the message about the furnace in the gods lingered in his mind.

On the fifth day, Chen Lingxi activated his Wandering Sight Divine Ability again.

He landed in the palace of the Chan Zhaofu and saw that the Dragon Palace Prince was still sitting upright on the Jade Platform, his eyes slightly closed, and had not moved.

The brocade curtains on the four walls of the palace still hung down as before.

The aloof and serene Dragon Palace Princess remained seated to the side, eyes lowered, silent.

Since exchanging his talisman for the Cauldron Artifact Fortune a few days ago, Chan Zhaofu has not left the hall.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to Sight-Roaming, Chen Lingxi carefully observed the flow of his aura and quickly understood the reason.

"This Chan Zhaofu is waiting for Cauldron Artifact Fragment and numerous Spirit Stone; it seems the Entwined-Dragon Palace is already preparing them for him."

Chen Lingxi withdrew from the Sight-Roaming, opened her eyes, and suddenly had a whimsical idea.

His Divine Sense entered the Hongdong Bag and landed on one of the treasures inside.

It was that Cauldron Vessel Dao-Seizing Ancient Tree.

Unlike other complete Cauldron Vessel, the Ancient Cauldron Vessel of the Dao-Seizing Ancient Tree does not require a master to recognize it or for it to be refined before it can be used.

Chen Lingxi used his Divine Sense to focus on the Dao-Seizing Ancient Tree. The tree was about a foot long, with a dark green body and a gnarled trunk like a dragon. Its branches and leaves were lush, and a very faint ancient aura flowed between the veins of the leaves.

"Since the Chan Zhaofu is unresponsive to the Cauldron Artifact Fortune, I might as well go and swindle some money from it."

He silently recited a phrase to himself, stood up, parted the curtain of water, and stepped out of the cave.

Outside the cave, sunlight streamed down from the gaps in the clouds, illuminating the surging sea of clouds atop Deer-Sleeping Peak.

Chen Lingxi his feet, clouds spontaneously rose, carrying his figure as he slowly ascended.

Before leaving Deer-Sleeping Peak, he went to look for Yuan Lingyu once more.

A pale blue mist enveloped Yuan Lingyu's cave abode, while bursts of spiritual energy emanated from within.

She remains in seclusion.

Chen Lingxi did not disturb her. He simply sent a wisp of his Divine Sense to her outside the cave, instructing her to cultivate in peace and to send a message to the Water-Curtain Cave if she encountered any difficulties. Then he turned and left.

After leaving Deer-Sleeping Peak, he traveled westward, passing through the territory of the Dragon-Offering Sect's two hundred peaks, and crossing more than a hundred cities and countless mountains under its jurisdiction.

He was incredibly fast. With the Cloud-Riding Method fully activated, the sea of clouds beneath his feet swept past on both sides of him, turning the mountains and the earth into a swirling expanse of light and shadow.

After a long while, Chen Lingxi descended from the clouds and stood atop an unnamed, desolate mountain.

This mountain is located about 300,000 li northwest of the Dragon-Offering Sect, and appears to be an ordinary mountain.

This desolate mountain has never belonged to any sect or immortal clan, nor has anyone built a hermitage here to cultivate. It stands quietly amidst a vast expanse of mountains.

Chen Lingxi the Qi Observation to sweep the mountainside upwards.

Carefully recall the message that the Great Luo Heaven provided to the Chan Zhaofu.

After a long while, Chen Lingxi rose into the air and arrived at the top of this desolate mountain.

There are no cave abode or palaces on the mountaintop.

There is only a very shallow depression in the rock at the very center of the mountaintop.

The hollow was covered by rocks and didn't look particularly special.

Chen Lingxi his sleeve slightly, and the mountain rocks instantly shattered into pieces, revealing a furnace lying quietly within.

The cauldron was only about three feet tall, and its entire body was dark silver. There were no runes engraved on it, so it didn't look particularly special.

There was no lid above the furnace opening, and no firelight was visible inside the furnace; only a layer of silvery-gray smoke remained.

The smoke slowly escaped from the furnace belly, then silently fell back into the furnace belly, circulating endlessly.

It's like an ancient vessel that has been sleeping for millions of years, resting quietly here.

"This is the furnace of gods?"

"Could you take him back?"

Chen Lingxi blinked and channeled her Dao Origin into the Cauldron Vessel.

However, he discovered that the Cauldron Vessel was incredibly heavy, and he was unable to place Cauldron Vessel into his Hongdong Bag.

"As expected, with my cultivation level, I simply cannot move this Cauldron Vessel."

Chen Lingxi was deep in thought when her expression suddenly changed.

His Dao Origin came into contact with the divine furnace, Total Perception Essence Replenishment began to soar once again!

The complete Cauldron Vessel was indeed extraordinary. In just a few breaths, Chen Lingxi's progress in Total Perception his Essence Replenishment was once again perfected, reaching 100%!

"This is a pleasant surprise!"

Chen Lingxi was overjoyed, but dared not linger there.

Even though he Sight-Roaming Chan Zhaofu every day during his journey, there was no guarantee that Chan Zhaofu wouldn't send someone to guard the place, so it was best to hurry.

With a flick of his finger, Chen Lingxi the Dao-Seizing Ancient Tree flying out, from which a mysterious aura flowed and landed on the Divine Furnace!

As if sensing the aura of the ancient tree, the Divine Furnace also emitted an ancient aura, flowing towards the Dao-Seizing Ancient Tree and slowly falling into Dao-Seizing Ancient Tree.

The ancient tree trembled slightly.

However, its branches and leaves did not show any unusual growth.

But deep within the tree trunk, a wisp of Cauldron Vessel from the cauldron was silently settling down.

It's done.

Chen Lingxi was overjoyed and took another careful look at the Dao-Seizing Ancient Tree the way.

However, a Dao-Seizing Fruit was still lying dormant on the treetop, not yet fully formed, and within it, the phantom of a furnace seemed to be faintly visible.

"Once this fruit has ripened, I can use Dao-Seizing Fruit power to activate the spiritual energy of the Cauldron Vessel within this divine furnace."

A slight smile appeared on Chen Lingxi's lips, and she stopped trying to touch the intact Cauldron Vessel.

Having found a solution, the purpose of this trip has already been achieved.

He did not linger any longer; clouds rose beneath his feet, carrying his figure slowly upwards, and he returned eastward.

On his way home, Chen Lingxi arrived at a vast expanse of clouds.

The clouds flowed slowly beneath his feet, and sunlight streamed down through the gaps in the clouds, illuminating his dark brocade robe and giving it a faint golden sheen.

As he traveled, he channeled a wisp of his consciousness into the Great Luo Heaven-Observing Mirror.

The message from that enormous mirror slowly unfolded from the depths of his Consciousness Sea.

Since the Great Luo Heaven-Observing Mirror was hung high above the Nine Palaces, more than two hundred Xuanmen Immortal Clans, thousands of cities, and countless Rogue Cultivator within the Nine Palaces have all used that Heaven-Viewing Audience Talisman to pay homage to the Great Luo Heaven-Observing Mirror, seeking fortuitous opportunity and exchanging information from it.

Chen Lingxi appears on camera every day.

See if there are any quests you can do along the way to obtain some Great Luo Dark Qi.

He also felt that his cultivation was about to make great progress, and he could take advantage of the journey home to look in the mirror to see if there were any new fortuitous opportunity that he could make plans for.

Within the clear mirror, countless Daoist characters flowed slowly.

As usual Chen Lingxi searched through numerous tasks, and after a moment, he frowned.

He was astonished to see a newly issued mission within the Great Luo Heaven-Observing Mirror.

[Mission: Kill Lin Suri, a disciple of the Dao-Below Academy.]

[Reward: 10,000 units of Great Luo Dark Qi]

Chen Lingxi immediately withdrew from the Great Luo Heaven-Observing Mirror and stood in the sea of clouds, momentarily taken aback.

--Lin Suri, Dao-Below Academy Slaughter?

Lin Suri was a disciple of the Pool-Soul Institute of the Dao-Below Academy. He and Lin Su Ri had fought side by side against enemies, exchanged fortuitous opportunity, and faced life-and-death tribulations together in the Weiji Grotto-Heaven.

Although Liu Changle's use of his own Cave Heaven Dao Platform to guide him was partly due to Liu Changle's help, Lin Suri's earlier Jade Slip messages and his words of discussion about returning home had indeed paved the way for him.

At this moment, Chen Lingxi's emotions were churning.

The reward of 10,000 units of Great Luo Dark Qi is far beyond what ordinary Rogue Cultivator could achieve.

Only immortals could produce such a masterpiece, and only the Xuanmen (mystical sects) could possess such profound knowledge.

"Who exactly did my senior brother Lin offend? Who wants to kill him?"

He thought to himself
