The ordeal in Qinling had activated the Dragon Cauldron, leaving the True Dragon Immortal Elixir listless again. It lay flat in the Sea of Bitterness and told Lin Xian through its immature divine sense that if he wanted it to act again, he would have to pay extra.

Several days later, fresh news spread from Qinling: the Tribulation Heavenly Venerable's Tomb had opened, and it contained genuine fragments of an immortal artifact forged by the Heavenly Venerable himself.
Duan De might have been as cunning as a ghost and capable of divining heaven's secrets, but the sight of the bronze fragments still blinded his judgment, as though lard had coated his heart. He plunged in without a backward glance.
Lin Xian supplied documents from the Chaotic Ancient Era, the Black Emperor laid out Great Emperor-level formation patterns, and Ye Fan used the methods of a Source Heavenly Master to trace dragon veins and seek out burial chambers.
