More than two hours later...
Li Xiaoya emerged from the gate of the sealed chamber where Tianyuan was cultivating in seclusion, his expression somewhat grave. Behind him, the gate closed without a sound, and countless restrictions settled over it once more...
"To think those two cauldrons really were a set!" Li Xiaoya glanced back at the sealed chamber's gate and murmured...
Meanwhile, inside the sealed chamber...
There it was.
The positions of the Spirit Essence Stone pillars and their spiritual light remained unchanged, but the crystal-clear white Giant Cauldron in their midst was gone...
"Gurgle! Gurgle!" Amid a series of rumbling vibrations, a black-and-white cauldron now stood in the center, continually shuddering as rings of grayish-white energy swirled out from it...
Inside the cauldron, white liquid churned, and gradually, countless golden lights appeared within it, spinning ceaselessly...
"Boy Li! I will not go back on my word...!" Tianyuan's voice suddenly rang out in the air, utterly resolute. After a pause, he murmured, "Master! Although I did not avenge you with my own hands, this should still count as settling that debt...!"

Under Tianyuan's guidance, the black and white cauldrons had merged into one, becoming the true Yin-Yang Chaos Divine Cauldron. What shocked Li Xiaoya even more was that Tianyuan had now completely melted down his physical body and no longer possessed one. That had given Li Xiaoya quite a fright. If he had wanted to kill Tianyuan now, a single spell would have done it. But since Li Xiaoya was willing to give Tianyuan even this Heaven-Creating Divine Artifact, he naturally had no intention of doing anything
