Sea-Calming Cauldron (33)

Meanwhile, beneath the surface of Yunmeng Marsh.

After breaking through the mist of Yunmeng Marsh, the Wu Ji ventured deep into the very center of this Soul-Bewildering Formation.

That's the bottom of Flying Peak, a dark and silent deep pool.

The Wu Ji could only see the ripples created by the movement of the lake water.

Fortunately, Wu Ji was mentally prepared for this and was not misled by the darkness before him.

Through this period of observation, Wu Ji discovered that the Celestial Person's understanding of the order of heaven and earth and his utilization of the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi had indeed reached a state of unparalleled mastery.

To be honest, the method of using the flow of the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi to set up formations also exists among the wizarding community.

However, high-ranking shamans generally refer to it as a barrier or seal, and the methods they use are extremely rudimentary.

But that Celestial Person was different; he understood the essence of the flow of Yuan Qi and formed a true Formation based on that understanding.

Compared to barriers and seals, the limitations of Formation are obvious.

It requires specific terrain, Mountain Terrain, and waterways, and once formed, it cannot be easily altered or moved.

These are all flaws in the Formation.

Conversely, once Formation is formed, it can unleash power exceeding the limits of the person who sets it up.

The strength of a Formation does not depend on who sets it up.

Rather, it depends on the terrain, Mountain Terrain, and waterways that the person setting up the formation utilizes, and whether or not they are willing to use precious heavenly materials and earthly treasures.

Without a doubt, even if Li Boyang were extremely stingy, he would never be stingy about something as simple as the Yunmeng Marsh Grand Array.

Wu Ji long noticed that the great array currently covering the entire Yunmeng Marsh was not a single Formation, but rather a collection of many Formation.

In fact, every island in Yunmeng Marsh is a unique Formation.

These unique Formation are interconnected, forming a super formation that covers the Yunmeng Marsh.

The dispelled mist at the beginning was at best the outermost "protective shield" of this super formation.

As the Wu Ji ventured deeper into the very center of this Soul-Bewildering Formation, he truly began to grasp the terrifying nature of this great formation.

"The Heavenly Gang and Earthly Sha, the sun, moon, and stars, even the laws of birth, aging, sickness, and death have been incorporated..."

"I don't know if that Celestial Person, or if they had obsessive-compulsive disorder or a collecting fetish."

Suddenly, the Wu Ji and began calculating the changes in the large formation.

The complex and varied changes gave Wu Ji a headache, but the more he calculated, the happier he became.

This intellectual game is far Wu Ji than pure combat.

It can only be said that Wu Ji himself is by no means an easy person to deal with, as he was willing to work alongside Wu Xian and Wu Luo.

"Alright! Now's the time!"

Suddenly pressing down on the compass needle at the very center, the Wu Ji transformed into a stream of water once more and plunged into the dark pool.

In the blink of an eye, a golden light appeared out of thin air.

"Hold head high!"

That was the [God-Binding Cord], and it was a [God-Binding Cord] completely transformed into a dragon.

Unlike the separated parts, the main body of the [God-Binding Cord] has always been in this Flying Peak.

When they realized that someone was trying to force their way into the dark pool.

The [God-Binding Cord] immediately manifested its long-lost dragon form, attempting to capture the intruder.

However, the Wu Ji far more cunning than [God-Binding Cord] had imagined.

"You're just a little dragon; Wu Xian has already revealed all your secrets."

"Even with that Celestial Person's enhancements, most of your abilities are only effective against gods..."

"Unfortunately, I happen to be not a god."

Before he could finish speaking, Wu Ji's figure vanished completely from Yunmeng Marsh.

Only the bewildered golden dragon remained, wandering and roaming in the water, resembling a "Hagi Dragon".

Is this the place?

With a blink of an eye, the Wu Ji appeared within a pure, pitch-black watery eye.

Because no light penetrates here, it resembles the deepest abyss in the ocean.

Only the very center emitted a faint, inexplicable golden light.

"I've finally found you, Kunwu!"

Looking at that ray of golden light, Wu Ji's voice was filled with barely suppressed excitement.

Then it was as if in response to Wu Ji's words.

On the surface of the golden totem, which resembled a pillar reaching to the sky, a face suddenly appeared.

"No, I should call you the Sea-Calming Cauldron) now."

By actively approaching that enormous face, Wu Ji finally saw what the other party looked like.

"Come back to Great Xia with me! Great Xia needs you now!"

"The fact that they used you to suppress and balance the water veins of this mere few hundred miles of Yunmeng Marsh that Celestial Person was a complete waste of your abilities."

Faced with Wu Ji's self-talk, Kunwu's face revealed a hint of human confusion.

"Who are you?"

Why am I called the Sea-Calming Cauldron)?

How did you get here? I don't think I know you.

Slightly narrowing his eyes, Wu Ji paused for a moment, looking slightly taken aback, before suddenly realizing what had happened.

"So that's how it is. You've forgotten who you are?"

"No wonder Wu Yi didn't include these Hundred Lands Mountain Range under the jurisdiction of the Divine Land Barrier when he activated the Nine Cauldrons."

"It seems that the Celestial Person was only a secondary reason; the real reason was that you escaped his control."

At this point, Wu Ji paused slightly before continuing.

"But it doesn't matter, you are the Sea-Calming Cauldron forged by the second Witch King..."

"Once you return to the Great Xia, you will be able to regain your former identity and abilities and completely quell the floods in the East Sea."

Without making a sound, he rolled his eyes and retorted in a low voice with his huge face.

"No, I won't go to Great Xia."

Upon hearing this, Wu Ji laughed without any surprise.

"Perhaps I didn't explain clearly; I wasn't asking for your opinion."

"Whether you are the Sea-Calming Cauldron, one of the Nine Cauldrons, or the Totem Deity Kunwu, you must come back with me."

To Wu Ji's utter surprise, no sooner had he finished speaking than "Kunwu" on the other side burst out laughing.

"Haha! I have to go back with you?"

"I'm willing to go back with you, but only if you find the real Kunwu."

His pupils dilated suddenly, and as if realizing something, Wu Ji hurriedly retreated, but it was too late.

Rumble...

As golden light spilled out, the totem pole collapsed.

A colossal, indescribable Shadow Baleful Intent Dharma Aspect replaced the original location of "Kunwu".

Immediately afterwards, countless guns and cannons grew out of the Shadow Baleful Intent Dharma Aspect's body, illuminating the dark waters with violent fire.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The terrifying explosion created countless ripples in the water, and Wu Ji roar even reached the outside world of Yunmeng Marsh.
