"Let me swallow it!"
Dragonbone Evil Moon shouted, black chains extending from his body, tightly surrounding that ancient jade.
"Buzz buzz buzz...
The ancient jade trembled uncontrollably, its vast pressure surging like tides in all directions. The energy it contained made Long Chen's scalp tingle.
If this thing explodes, everyone here—every single one—will be blown to dust.
The ancient jade Xia Chen found was actually the source of energy here. It possessed the power to seal the cultivation of a Heavenly Saint, allowing him to suppress their cultivation to the Divine Sovereign realm.
Previously, Xia Chen had communicated with it but received rejection and deterrence. Now that all enemies had dispersed, Xia Chen could finally communicate calmly with it.
Everything went smoothly at first, but for some reason, when Xia Chen took it out, it instantly turned hostile and was about to self-destruct.
"Crack, crack, crack..."
The power of the Dragonbone Evil Moon was fully controlling the ancient jade, but it was still shattering and couldn't be stopped.
"How could this happen? I actually couldn't swallow it. "Dragonbone Evil Moon was both shocked and furious. In this world, there are things it can't swallow.
"That's a fragment of chaos. With your current strength, you still can't devour it." At that moment, the voice of the Qiankun Cauldron rang out.
"Can you do it?" Longgu Xie Yue said.
"You can give it a try." Qiankun Cauldron said.
"Tch, if you want it, just say so. Beating around the corner is really unsatisfying, so here's yours." Dragonbone Xie Yue said irritably, then immediately withdrew the black chains.
"Buzz."
When the Dragon Bone Evil Moon withdrew his hand, the Qiankun Cauldron appeared on the ancient jade. The cauldron glowed, enveloping the jade. Strangely, the Cauldron seemed to have used no power, and the jade instantly quieted down and obediently entered the cauldron.
At that moment, Long Chen and Dragonbone Xie Yue were stunned. Dragonbone Xie Yue suddenly cursed loudly:
"Old Ding, you're too sinister! You must know how to subdue it and deliberately don't tell me."
"The key is, you didn't ask me either." Qiankun Cauldron said calmly.
"You... Alright, Old Ding, you're sneaky. "Dragonbone Evil Moon was so angry she couldn't speak, and simply disappeared altogether.
Long Chen was speechless. He hadn't expected that the usually solemn Qiankun Cauldron would also have a scheming side. It seemed there was a certain skill to collecting this ancient jade, and only the Qiankun Cauldron knew this technique. That's why Longgu Xie Yue was so angry he ran away.
However, for the Qiankun Cauldron to value it so highly and be willing to put aside pride to fight for it, it seems this ancient jade must have a significant origin. It seems this item is of great benefit to both the Dragon Bone Evil Moon and the Qiankun Cauldron.
"Senior, what exactly is this thing?" Long Chen couldn't help but ask.
"Simply put, this is a fragment of chaos, representing the laws of chaos, but it's incomplete.
To be more specific, it was a cloak formed at the dawn of chaos, and the ... wrapped inside the outer shell—forget it, better not go into detail.
In short, this is something extraordinary. It's extremely important for both me and Xie Yue, especially at a time like this.
However, due to its own strength, even with secret techniques, Xie Yue could not subdue it. "Qiankun Cauldron explained.
Long Chen nodded. It seemed he had really found a treasure this time. The Qiankun Cauldron absorbed this ancient jade, so its strength would surely increase significantly.
"Long Chen, do you believe me?" The Qiankun Cauldron suddenly asked.
Long Chen was stunned: "Senior, why are you suddenly asking such a question?" The
Qiankun Cauldron said, "Regarding White-robed Dragon Chen, your inner demon, I've kept a lot hidden from you. Aren't you angry?" Long
Chen couldn't help but chuckle: "Am I really that angry someone who likes to get angry?" You won't tell me, but you must have your reasons.
You have helped me countless times, and I will not hate you just because of a single moment of withdrawal.
Moreover, in my heart, you are like my brothers—the person I trust most. I can entrust my life to them, and likewise, I can entrust my life to yours. Although
Long Chen had once questioned Qiankun Cauldron about the inner demon, Qiankun Cauldron remained silent and never mentioned the matter.
Logically, since the Qiankun Cauldron has already recognized its master, Long Chen is its master, and it cannot defy Long Chen's will.
After hearing Long Chen's words, the Qiankun Cauldron fell silent. After a while, it spoke:
"Thank you for your trust. This fragment of chaos—I'll absorb half of its power, and then I'll help you refine it into a treasure—a treasure you'll be proud of."
The sound of the Qiankun Cauldron was both moved and comforted. It seemed that Long Chen's absolute trust in it had made it feel an unprecedented warmth. Its voice fluctuations were completely different from before.
"A proud baby?" Could it be ... Long Chen was both surprised and delighted.
"Yes, it's that thing. But it's a one-time thing, so it lasts very quickly." Qiankun Cauldron said.
"That works too. Even if I only have a single breath, I can kill a few Heavenly Saints." Long Chen shouted excitedly, having already guessed what the treasure the Qiankun Cauldron was referring to.
That fragment of chaos possessed a strange power that sealed the cultivation of a Heavenly Saint expert. The treasure refined by the Qiankun Cauldron must also be related to this.
"You're underestimating me. At least it can last for the time of a single incense stick." There was a hint of pride in the voice of the Qiankun Cauldron.
"Oh my, thank you very much, senior." Long Chen was greatly pleased.
With this thing, what is there to fear? From now on, whenever he encounters a Heavenly Saint expert, he can walk around with confidence.
"However, I need some time. Before it comes into life, you'd better take it easy." The Qiankun Cauldron warned.
"Don't worry, you focus on your work. I know what I'm doing." Long Chen hurriedly said. Only then did the Qiankun Cauldron return to his sea of consciousness and begin refining the fragments of chaos.
"Buzz"
Suddenly, a sword light slashed through the void, tearing open the entire sky like a curtain. A spatial gate appeared out of thin air, and then the faces of Bai Letian and the others appeared. A smile appeared on Long Chen's face as he made a victory gesture:
"I have not failed your mission." Bai
Letian and the others emerged from the Void Gate, looking at the surrounding mountains regaining vitality. Each of them was filled with excitement. Bai Letian looked at Long Chen and said,
"Dean Long Chen, you've worked hard."
Long Chen exchanged a few polite words and asked about the situation over there. Upon learning that only a few Heavenly Saint experts had been killed, he felt a bit disappointed. According to his expectations, he should have at least taken out half, but the Brahma Divine Map appeared too quickly.
After Bai Letian arrived, he used the Lingxiao Divine Sword as a guide to activate the formation. As the divine radiance of the Lingxiao Divine Sword radiated, all the vegetation on the surrounding barren mountains began to grow wildly, instantly becoming lush and full of lifeBustling.
In just half a day, the scene here had completely changed, no longer with the previous eerie demonic aura. If one hadn't seen it with one's own eyes, it would be hard to believe the changes before their eyes were so dramatic.
With this place secured, the Lingxiao Divine Sword had a place to take root. The fortune of Lingxiao Academy began to take root within the Emperor Heaven. As a result, unless the true body of the Brahma Divine Map descended, no one could threaten Lingxiao Academy, and everyone finally had a stable place to stay.
Long Chen and the others could finally calm down and focus on cultivation. However, after only three days of seclusion, Long Chen was awakened, and at that moment, someone was looking for him.
When Long Chen saw the person looking for him, his eyes nearly popped out.
