Da Chun Officially Transforms into a Spirit

When Da Chun stayed at the Yuelai Inn, both the boss and the staff liked him a lot.

Because Da Chun treated people with utmost sincerity, completely lacking any ulterior motives, and would do his best to help others within his capabilities.

Although sometimes his good intentions would backfire, fortunately, it was usually just breaking a plate or spilling a dish.

Moreover, once Da Chun made a mistake, he would never repeat it, showing a stronger ability to correct himself than many normal people.

"Alright, come with me! I'll take you flying!"

With the sound of tearing through the air, Chen Yi took Da Chun and directly flew into the sky.

After ascending to a high altitude, Chen Yi took out the Flame Iron Heavy Sword and flew on it with Da Chun.

In the simulation, this sword was fooled by the Myriad Soul Banner and wanted to betray Chen Yi.

So Chen Yi made an example out of it, but at this point in reality, the Flame Iron Heavy Sword was still perfectly fine.

Chen Yi used his true qi to protect Da Chun, preventing him from feeling uncomfortable in the fierce winds.

"Wow! Brother Yi! You can fly now!"

On the large map of the Five Domains, Chen Yi drew a straight line from Baiyun County in Qingzhou of the Central Plains, going straight to the Wave Valley in the Eastern Wasteland.

Because the Eastern Wasteland was sparsely populated, the place names there were actually rarely known.

But who was Chen Yi?

An inner sect disciple of the Limitless Sword Sect!

When he was in the Limitless Sword Sect, he had studied the full topographic map of the Eastern Wasteland and memorized it with a single glance.

Therefore, Chen Yi knew exactly where this Wave Valley was.

During the flight, Chen Yi heard the Myriad Soul Banner complaining.

"Ah! Buddy! Can you throw this Hu Chacha out! He keeps yelling all day, making my head hurt!"

"What is he saying?"

"Babbling some nonsense, I don't know what he's talking about! Like a flock of sparrows outside the window, chattering on the wall!"

Chen Yi pondered for a moment.

When enemies invaded the human realm, they at least knew to have everyone master the human language.

If he wanted to defend against the Dragonman race, how could he not learn their language?

Since they had nothing to do on the journey, he might as well learn the Dragonman language from this Hu Chacha.

Thinking of this, Chen Yi equipped a rare trait—Foreign Languages Must Be Learned!

This trait didn't instantly make someone master a foreign language, but it made learning one much more efficient.

So, he still needed someone to teach him.

Chen Yi had the Myriad Soul Banner release Hu Chacha's head.

"Student Hu Chacha, I want to learn the Dragonman language from you."

"Xita!!"

"I know this phrase, it's a curse, but I want to learn it systematically, so it'll be convenient for us to communicate in the future!"

"Dream on! Who wants to communicate with you? I won't teach you! I'm going to self-destruct! Wahahaha..."

Chen Yi rolled his eyes and came up with a plan.

"Oh my, they say the Dragonman race is the most noble race among the myriad races in the Void Realm. I assume their language must also be very noble, beautiful, and pleasant to the ear, right?"

The Myriad Soul Banner understood his intention perfectly.

"Give me a break! I listen to this Hu Chacha yelling every day. What's noble about it? What's beautiful? What's pleasant? It's just sparrow chirps!"

Chen Yi immediately retorted.

"You don't understand the Dragonman language, so how do you know it's not noble? Not beautiful? Not pleasant?"

"Even if I learned it, I wouldn't think it's noble! Beautiful! Or pleasant!"

"Damn it! If someone could teach me, I would definitely prove to you just how noble, beautiful, and pleasant the Dragonman language is!"

Hu Chacha stopped his self-destruction and flew into a rage.

"Damn Myriad Soul Banner, stop insulting my race's language!

You are just a soulless spiritual artifact, what the hell do you know about language!

Human! Seeing that you have such good taste, I can teach you!

But I will only teach it once. If you can't learn it, don't even think about me teaching you a second time!"

When the Dragonman race recruited alien spies, teaching the Dragonman language was originally part of the process.

Hu Chacha pretended he was trying to rope in Chen Yi to justify his own actions.

It didn't matter if he only taught it once.

With the Foreign Languages Must Be Learned trait, Chen Yi learned incredibly fast.

So fast that Hu Chacha was stunned.

"Xita! How are you more fluent than me?! Which one of us is the Dragonman??"

Chen Yi smiled confidently.

"It's a piece of cake."

After learning the Dragonman language, Chen Yi unequipped the trait.

After arriving in the Eastern Wasteland.

Chen Yi went to retrieve the cauldron first.

In the simulation, Chen Yi was at the Golden Body Realm when he retrieved it, and it took him several days just to dig a hole.

But now, buffed by the Eternal Half-Emperor trait and possessing the cultivation of the Martial King Realm, earthworks were much easier for Chen Yi.

"Rumble!!"

Chen Yi unleashed the Dragon Flame Profound Art, slamming a punch vertically into the ground. A fire dragon roared out, rushing straight underground and leaving a deep, scorched tunnel.

After a few consecutive punches, Chen Yi reached the location where the Nine Provinces Cauldron was buried.

"Da Chun, just touch this bronze."

Da Chun looked a bit nervous.

"Don't be afraid, Da Chun. You won't feel a thing. After becoming an artifact spirit, you can still live in the Chen Manor as the butler, no different from before."

Da Chun nodded and placed one hand heavily on it.

Everything that followed was no different from the simulation.

As the core part of the Nine Provinces Cauldron's artifact spirit, Da Chun awakened the dust-covered cauldron and transformed into its spirit.

The small world inside the cauldron was activated, giving Chen Yi a precious place to hide.

Da Chun began his journey of eating peaches.

The more he ate, the more of the cauldron's divine power he could mobilize, and his memories of the past would also be slightly restored.

But just as the last protector of the Demon Realm said, no matter what, Da Chun was only a part of the cauldron's artifact spirit, and it would be very difficult to restore the Nine Provinces Cauldron to its peak state.

Da Chun could freely switch between a spiritual body and a physical body because he was the core part.

The other parts could not.

If Chen Yi asked his third sister, eldest brother, and their descendants to also replenish the artifact spirit, they would disappear on the spot.

Besides, even with them, it wouldn't be enough. The entire Luoding Village had died.

Almost at the exact moment Da Chun became the artifact spirit, Chen Yi's Treasure Snatching Nose sensed something.

The Earth Spirit had arrived.

It hid far away and didn't continue approaching.

The Myriad Soul Banner sat up in shock as if waking from a dying state.

"Huh? This aura... could it be... an earth vein?!"

This traitor was still obsessed with the earth vein.

Chen Yi wouldn't let the Myriad Soul Banner succeed.

The Earth Spirit awakening the intelligence of all spiritual artifacts on the continent came at a price.

It was still unknown whether this loss had further negative impacts.

So he couldn't let the Myriad Soul Banner mess around in the reality timeline.

"Hey! Buddy! An earth vein! It's an earth vein! To the east! Go over there quickly!"

"What earth vein? How come I don't see it?"

"It's there, it's there! Buddy, this is guaranteed!"

"In the Five Domains, we don't say 'guaranteed', we say 'bound to get it'."

The Myriad Soul Banner froze for three seconds, its banner surface twisting into a very vivid, human-like expression, as if saying: Are you out of your mind?

"Buddy! This is bound to get it!"

"There's no rush for the earth vein. Da Chun said there's a small world inside the cauldron, which sounds very interesting. Let's go take a look."

"Are you serious, buddy? An earth vein! Don't you want to break through?!"

The poor Myriad Soul Banner was being completely played by Chen Yi.

Chen Yi entered the small world inside the cauldron to experience it for himself.

"What a utopia. Staying here makes me feel like I can forget all the troubles of the outside world...

Da Chun, does this small world not have a name?"

I can't just keep calling it the 'Small World inside the Cauldron' forever.
