• Lu Chen realized that the incomplete Immortal Cauldron was not in the temple but in the Ninety-Nine Dragon Mountains of Kunlun on Earth.

Lu Chen shattered the largest Ancient Temple and helped trigger a struggle among the great powers for its treasures, though the legendary Green Cauldron was absent.
