Under the efforts of the four martial gods and Chen Yi’s coordination, the city lords of the four cardinal directions—East, South, West, and North—were steadily sent into the Cauldron Realm one after another.
The last, the Central City Lord Yi Chengsheng, had no choice but to fight one against five. The outcome was predictable, and he, too, was shoved into the Cauldron Realm.
Afterward, Chen Yi and his five companions entered the Cauldron Realm.
The immense Nine Provinces Cauldron stood atop the shattered ruins of Central City.
The Sword Master and his men surrounded the area, guarding the cauldron from the approaching descendants of the ancient wastelands.
“Sect Master, it looks like they’ve gone into the world within the Nine Provinces Cauldron to settle their duel.”
“Yes, everyone be careful. They are all martial gods. The world inside the cauldron may not be able to withstand their battle. We must be alert to avoid being caught in the crossfire.”
“Understood!”
All around, martial artists among the ancient wasteland descendants were still converging from every direction.
They came endlessly, an unbroken tide.
Although Chen Yi had used the First Sky-Spanning Formation to seal off their flight-type divine patterns, on the ground, relying on sheer numbers and the subtlety of their divine patterns, the fight was dragging on. The situation for the human realm remained grim.
The ancient wasteland secret realm was far too distant from the continent, and even if reinforcements were coming, they wouldn’t arrive in time.
Chen Yi and his group had to finish off Yi Chengsheng and his five as quickly as possible. After that, no matter how many ancient wasteland descendants remained, they wouldn’t be a problem.
Inside the Cauldron Realm.
After being tricked into entering, Yi Chengsheng and his five saw the peach tree of the Cauldron Realm, brimming with the divine power of a Great Dao immortal artifact.
A pool of Star Source.
A half-broken Kunlun Mirror soaking in the Star Source.
The Demon-Suppressing Cauldron scooping up Star Source, flying above the Kunlun Mirror, pouring it down, and asking, “Is the water temperature just right?”
Da Chun, taking on the appearance of a young man, sat on the grass eating a peach, manifesting the vessel spirit of the Nine Provinces Cauldron.
A Five Realms Sacred Pill—radiant with countless rays of light, exuding a tantalizing aroma, able to speak—flew back and forth.
A golden banner, arrogant and overbearing, pointed at the five of them and cursed them out: the Myriad Soul Banner.
“What the &￥@! So you’re the Blood Moon organization, huh?!
I’ll be damned! #￥@! The demonic cultivators I once followed were just like you—also villains, right?!
Why the hell were you bastards #@@% chasing them too?!
What, did we step on your turf?!”
The five city lords exchanged glances, suddenly recognizing what this foul-mouthed thing was.
“That’s the Myriad Soul Banner, isn’t it?”
“Yeah, but how did it turn into this?”
“If it kept its mouth shut, I’d swear it was the Human Emperor Banner.”
Yi Chengsheng looked around and couldn’t help laughing out loud.
“I thought they went through all that trouble to trap us in here with some kind of ambush. Instead, they’ve prepared all these treasures for us—what a bunch of idiots!”
The other city lords exchanged looks and joined in the laughter.
“Such an immature little world inside the Nine Provinces Cauldron; with our power, we can shatter it and leave easily!”
“We should take all these nice things before we go. It’d be a waste otherwise.”
“True!”
The Myriad Soul Banner yelled from the side.
“Hey! I’m talking to you! You deaf??”
Yi Chengsheng said impatiently,
“Because your former masters were also searching for the Path to Immortality, we had to dispose of them along the way. No need for more explanation.”
As the five prepared to snatch the Five Realms Sacred Pill, the Star Source, and other treasures, the Myriad Soul Banner lunged forward, smacking Yi Chengsheng across the head with its pole.
“What do you mean ‘dispose of them along the way’?!”
The Myriad Soul Banner’s attack didn’t hurt the martial god at all, but the insult was enormous.
“You pathetic Myriad Soul Banner! Try hitting me again!”
“What do you mean ‘dispose of them along the way’?!”
“Don’t think I can’t destroy you just because your quality has improved!”
“What do you mean ‘dispose of them along the way’?!”
“Are you a parrot?”
The golden light radiating from the Myriad Soul Banner began to corrupt. Rolling demonic qi surged forth, overwhelming the entire Cauldron Realm with its oppressive might!
Da Chun’s head lifted higher and higher as the Myriad Soul Banner slowly ascended.
“Wow... Old Wan’s going ballistic!”
The Myriad Soul Banner’s voice was deafening.
“I! The Myriad Soul Banner! Have never followed anyone ordinary! You can call them evil—but you can’t call them weak!! What does 'dispose of them along the way' mean?!”
Yi Chengsheng glared at the raging Myriad Soul Banner and rolled his eyes.
“Psycho.”
Just as the Myriad Soul Banner was about to throw down with these martial gods, Chen Yi entered.
“Old Wan!”
Chen Yi shouted, and the Myriad Soul Banner instantly retracted all its aura, flying into Chen Yi’s hand.
Before the Myriad Soul Banner could speak, Chen Yi said,
“Don’t worry. Today, none of them are leaving.”
Yi Chengsheng sneered.
“There’s no sky-sealing formation here. What was the point of all your trouble to get us in?”
Chen Yi stepped forward, looking at him like he was an idiot.
“You’ll find out soon enough.”
Just as Chen Yi and the Great Demon were about to strike, Hua Wuyan tapped her cane.
“Wait.”
“Senior Hua, what’s wrong?”
“Sigh... I’d still like to try persuading them one more time.”
Given Chen Yi’s temper, Blood Moon was doomed.
But Hua Wuyan, as the senior, deserved respect.
Even the Great Demon held back obediently—surely they couldn’t be worse than a demon cultivator in manners.
Hua Wuyan’s voice was calm, but it rang clearly in the ears of everyone in the Cauldron Realm.
“The ancient wasteland secret realm created the Blood Moon organization. But you five have probably never truly been to the outside world, because the aura of a martial god is too powerful—you’d be detected by the guardians the moment you appeared.
Counting old-timers like us, the human race has cobbled together ten martial gods. I’m relieved.
Hand over those who have stained their hands with their kin’s blood and the Path to Immortality, and the ancient wasteland secret realm will remain yours.”
Li Wentian glanced at Hua Wuyan.
As an emperor, he had an iron will and couldn’t agree with her stance.
The ancient wasteland descendants had strayed onto the wrong path—they had to pay the price!
But unfortunately, the only chance for survival that Hua Wuyan had left for Yi Chengsheng and his five was lost on the unappreciative.
“Spare us the hypocrisy! You pretend to be selfless, acting like you care about the world—but it’s all for the Path to Immortality!
Old woman, your lifespan is nearly over. If you go to the Real Realm and take a gamble, you might break through to the Pill Transformation stage and enjoy more years!
If you’re willing to submit to our ancient upper realm, and strike down those four scoundrels beside you right now, I’ll give you the chance to use the Path to Immortality next year!”
Hua Wuyan closed her eyes and gently shook her head. Then, with a single step, she teleported right next to Yi Chengsheng.
Her movements seemed slow, yet somehow, even the martial god couldn’t react fast enough.
“Take this.”
Casually, she shoved a pill into Yi Chengsheng’s mouth.
What Yi Chengsheng didn’t realize was that, while Hua Wuyan was urging surrender, she had already been subtly using the art of witchcraft to beguile the five of them with her words.
That’s how a martial god like Him ended up hit by such an unremarkable method of poisoning.
Chatting with a witch comes with its risks.
“What did you just feed me??”
“Poison.”
“Hmph! Trying to poison a martial god—ridiculous! Divine pattern power!”
Yi Chengsheng channeled his true qi, trying to inscribe divine patterns as he would in the outside world.
Golden symbols partially appeared, but they were incomplete—ineffective.
“Damn it!”
Yi Chengsheng realized the truth.
This was the Cauldron Realm. The method of writing divine patterns had to be adjusted!
But how?
This was their first time here too; they would need to explore and experiment. At this moment, how could they possibly make it in time?
Chen Yi had already raised his Kylin Arm, rolling billows of blazing flames roaring and burning. His eyes blazed with fury, his posture that of a god of slaughter!
"Whether it’s the Blood Moon or the ancient wasteland remnants, you will pay for your deeds now!"
ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
