Only when Li Xingkong got closer did he realize that the enormous structure was actually a huge golden cauldron lying halfway among the knife flowers.
The entire cauldron was torn in half, with only the upper half lying in the sea of flowers, while the lower half was nowhere to be found.
This cauldron was enormous, at least tens of kilometers tall, and the patterns engraved on it were much larger than Li Xingkong himself.
Upon closer inspection, the cauldron still retained a faint aftertaste and radiated a rich metallic luster.
"This should also be recycled, right?"
Li Xingkong circled the cauldron once. Although it was broken, it was still part of the cleaning process.
Using his Immortal Power to cover the entire cauldron, Li Xingkong began the slow refining process.
To retrieve something of this size, it's necessary to at least shrink it a bit first, and some basic refining is still required.
After receiving Li Xingkong's Immortal Power, the metallic concept on the cauldron began to radiate dazzling light.
It might be the afterglow of the setting sun, or it might be the final dance of this treasure; that powerful concept delivered its final blow to Li Xingkong.
Li Xingkong was prepared. Even though this treasure of this level was broken, he could not relax until its power dissipated.
In the instant the golden light flashed, he Traversal directly to the distance. The towering golden beam of light only scattered Zhou Zhao's sword flowers across the sky, without touching Li Xingkong at all.
The golden light gradually faded, and the ghostly thoughts attached to it also disappeared, leaving only the sound of the cauldron continuing to grow louder.
Li Xingkong flashed back and reached out to collect the enormous broken cauldron in his palm.
It may indeed be a remarkable treasure, but by now, no one can use it anymore.
Li Xingkong also tried to gather the concepts attached to the cauldron, but unfortunately, these concepts had no origin, and even if he gathered them together, they would only be endless water, decreasing little by little with each use.
This is completely different from the Traversal bead that Li Xingkong obtained from the Immortal Artifact Store.
After storing the cauldron in the Descending Palace, Li Xingkong looked around.
When the cauldron was thrown over, it obviously followed a trajectory, so there's no need for this sweeping search. Just deduce its parabola based on the weight, position, and angle at which it landed, and then search along the path it came from.
The cauldron came from the center of the Blade Flower Sea.
Li Xingkong simply marked his current location in his mind and then headed along the planned route.
After navigating this Blade Flower Sea for a long time, Li Xingkong had figured out some tricks of the trade.
Although the wind from the blade was fierce, it couldn't harm the blessing bestowed upon him. Rather than hesitating and circling around, he might as well just charge straight through.
The closer he got to the center of this sea of the Blade Flower Sea, the denser the sword flowers became. Li Xingkong plunged straight in, creating a passage.
After nearly a week of intense effort, Li Xingkong's Divine Sense indeed detected another fragment of the giant cauldron.
Perhaps because the fragment was too close to the center, the surface concept had completely dissipated, and even small flowers had grown on the surface of the cauldron.
When Li Xingkong lifted it up, it took him quite a bit of effort to pull it out of the sea of flowers.
Although the atmosphere here remains the same, the vitality of these flowers is clearly far superior.
Just from the relative strength of these remaining concepts, one can see who ultimately prevails.
The knife-wielder was indeed very strong, but he couldn't outlast the flower-giver.
It took Li Xingkong several months to remove all the small flowers from the broken cauldron before he took it back.
Conceptual clashes are inherently time-consuming, and what Li Xingkong wanted was the complete object, not the ruthless stripping of all concepts from the broken cauldron.
After retrieving the broken cauldron, Li Xingkong also discovered a hairpin beneath it.
It looks like an ornament belonging to a female immortal, but the hairpin is broken in two.
The hairpin also had a protective and blessing effect attached to it. Li Xingkong sensed it and realized it was roughly a layer of adhesive.
Perhaps it's because they can't withstand the sharp glint of the blade that they need the support of such an object.
But now it seems that this thing has been abandoned.
Okay, okay.
This hairpin isn't too big; there's no need to refine it. Just keep it.
In addition, this area is close to the center of the battle between the two sides, and there are many objects scattered around.
Li Xingkong sent a signal to Liu Shinian, summoning her to come over.
Since we're cleaning anyway, we might as well tidy up this central area first.
"Sending a signal so quickly? What, did you find some treasure?"
Liu Shinian's voice preceded his physical arrival.
When she broke through the sea of flowers and arrived near Li Xingkong, she was overjoyed.
"Hehe, not bad, not bad, you found it really fast."
Looking at her rubbing her hands and glancing around, Li Xingkong simply couldn't associate her with integrity.
This guy looks exactly like a petty thief.
"What are you standing there for? Get ready to clean up."
After looking around, Liu Shinian flew straight towards a certain spot.
Li Xingkong glanced over there and saw that it was a phoenix crown.
It looks intact, but I don't know why it ended up here.
"My darling, so beautiful."
Liu Shinian picked up the ornate crown, and without clearly understanding its meaning, simply placed it on her head.
"Brother Xiao Li, do I look good?"
The magnificent crown placed on Liu Shinian's head certainly enhanced her appearance, and Li Xingkong even sensed a touch of regal majesty about her.
"It looks nice, but you're not even bothered to admit you found it on the battlefield?"
"What's there to be shy about? You and I are immortals, what kind of thing would dare to provoke us?"
"Besides, it's obvious from the look that the winner is Gold-Falling Flower, Fairy Qingjue. What's wrong with us wearing the fairy's crown?"
Not only the crown, Liu Shinian's eyes darted around before he ran to another spot and picked up a pair of shawls.
" Fairy Qingjue?"
This must be the person who is controlling this little flower.
"That's right, this is a War Immortal who has mastered the Dao of the Reversed Five Elements. Although the flowers in her hand aren't that famous, only she could do something like swallowing gold with wood."
Indeed, normally speaking, Jin Kemu should be in accordance with the Five Elements, but the outcome of their battle clearly did not follow the script.
Li Xingkong didn't just stand there; he gathered up all the objects in a large area around him and stuffed them into his space.
"Don't touch this!"
After a flurry of activity, the two finally managed to clean up the center of the battlefield, leaving only an unopened flower bud.
This thing is so unique in this sea of flowers that it's hard not to notice it.
Around it, there seemed to be a barrier, blocking out both the sword energy and the sword flowers.
When Li Xingkong got closer to it, he could only sense a strong vitality.
The flower buds were tightly closed, as if they contained something inside.
