Chapter 111: Dao Artifact: The Revered Bronze Cauldron
Back at the Stone Tablet, Yun Ye sat down in a meditative position and began to refine the Moon Ring.
He aimed to directly refine the Moon Ring into his life treasure!
This object had two main effects.
Firstly, as a carrier of the Secret Realm, the Moon Ring contained a small self-sufficient Secret Realm inside. Although it was not as grand as the Crescent Moon Secret Realm, it could still grow Spiritual Herbs or serve as a secret base.
Secondly, as an offensive tool, the Moon Ring could unleash high-temperature rays for large-scale attacks. Even without considering the inner Secret Realm, it was still considered a treasure beyond Spiritual Tools and Dao Artifacts.
However, given that the Moon Ring was not taken out to join the battle from the Secret Realm of the Gate of Heaven of the Crescent Moon, it likely wasn’t primarily an offensive treasure, but merely served to release high-temperature light as a "Moon Disk."
What Yun Ye was more interested in was not its offensive capability, but the “Secret Realm” within it.
This was a shocking ability that only ancient cultivators possessed.
Directly creating a small world.
Although the world inside the Moon Ring was small, it was sufficient to serve as a perfect base.
It could bypass Baishi Town and become a self-sufficient base!
A treasure comparable to a small world was far more meaningful than any offensive artifact, and this was precisely why it had been preserved, coexisting with the Crescent Moon Secret Realm for ten thousand years.
“Blood Refinement!”
Yun Ye drew blood, using the spirit energy carried in his blood to refine the Moon Ring, establishing a deeper connection.
This process was quite special because Yun Ye’s consciousness soared.
As he possessed partial authority over the Crescent Moon Secret Realm, the Moon Ring reflected the entire Secret Realm.
With Yun Ye gaining control over it, the entire landscape of the Secret Realm began to unfold, and he even saw the outside world.
…
The four higher-level individuals from Baishi Town sat on cushions, holding a rare gathering.
This meeting would last for seven days.
For cultivators of their level, going seven days without food or drink was nothing significant.
These four high-level individuals included the elegant woman in the blue robe, Qi Lian, who was enveloped in Spirit Law. She remained somewhat hazy, but in front of the three judges, her face was no longer concealed; indeed, she was a breathtaking fairy.
She conveyed an air of grace and elegance, with clear blue eyes and a gentle smile. Her long black hair flowed down and touched the ground, not only remaining dust-free but also emanating a faint spiritual light.
The other three, although remarkable in their own right, were overshadowed by Qi Lian’s radiance. The calmness she exuded soothed the restlessness in the hearts of the three, making them thoroughly enjoy themselves and willing to engage in discussions with Qi Lian.
Among the other three was a figure whom Yun Ye was quite familiar with, Liu Quan.
He had a middle-aged appearance with a square face, looking dignified and stern. Dressed in cold and distant white official robes, Liu Quan appeared very ordinary at first glance, aside from his attire that indicated his status.
However, during this gathering, Liu Quan revealed his abilities, as a Treasure Mirror stood in the center, displaying countless images—be it battles, landscapes, or an aerial view of Baishi Town.
Even in Wood Spirit Valley, they could soar through the world.
What was most precious was that these images covered the area, blocking out external disturbances, allowing the four high-level individuals to experience the scene as if they were personally present in the world.
This is an extremely profound law, and the control is very strong.
Next, there is the Physical Law Official and the Deputy Officer of Physical Law.
Both of them have perfect figures, highly aligned with human aesthetics.
They are members of the Ji family—Ji Yan and Ji Xuan.
All around them, multiple star rings revolve as they slowly extract and refine the spirit energy of heaven and earth.
Unlike the typical understanding of three paths, these two solely cultivate the path of Physical Law.
The Three Great Methods can be cultivated individually; they are three distinct paths, and it’s not necessary to complete all three.
However, cultivating all three paths at once indeed enhances strength.
Moreover, Yun Ye appears to be walking along all three paths, but in reality, he only studied Spiritual Law, while the other two paths exist without any depth; his talent is still too poor, as the other two paths require greater aptitude.
From the extensive knowledge Yun Ye has gained, he knows that battles fought by Physical Law cultivators do not rely on spirit energy; Spiritual Roots merely serve as extractors of the spirit energy of heaven and earth.
In fact, it doesn’t matter if the Spiritual Roots are weak; the star rings can replace the Spiritual Roots to extract spirit energy.
The downside is that cultivating Physical Law requires a large accumulation of resources; otherwise, there is no combat power. Only the Ji family has such a foundation to nurture Physical Law cultivators, allowing them to reach the level of judges.
Unlike Spiritual Law and Spirit Law, Physical Law does not possess as many flashy abilities. The two Physical Law officials merely engaged in casual conversation without showcasing any remarkable powers.
As this long-awaited conversation gradually approached its end, the hidden door within the Moon Reflection Water Pool suddenly trembled, its brilliance dimming. The Moon Reflection Water Pool, which once mirrored the moon as if it had fallen into a lake, now showed only a swirling vortex!
Everyone noticed this, and casual chatter was interrupted as the four sent their Spirit Sense probing into the space.
Qi Lian, possessing a Spirit Sense that had reached a higher level, held greater power, but she also found nothing, shaking her head at the other three.
“The Secret Realm is experiencing a change; something must have happened. We must remain and investigate,” Liu Quan proposed the most straightforward solution.
The two Ji family judges nodded; they would never allow changes to occur unchallenged.
At that moment, the two Ji family judges suddenly looked toward the horizon, where two streaks of light quickly appeared in their hands.
It was a paper kite coming from the Ji family’s territory in Baishi Town.
“What?”
After reading its contents, both showed expressions of shock.
They presented the news to Qi Lian.
“…”
After looking at it, Qi Lian fell into silence for a long time before slowly rising, “I never expected to witness new light.”
“A Dao artifact has been born, right here.”
“Dao artifact? Here?”
Just these two words left Liu Quan extremely astonished.
“Yes, Junior Brother heard the Dao Song; a new Dao artifact has emerged, and a new domain has appeared near Baishi Town.”
Qi Lian nodded, her gaze complex.
The miracle she had pursued for a hundred years had unexpectedly been realized by some young people, and it was a completely different path!
This made it difficult for her to calm her emotions.
“Due to the impending great disaster, the power of the Dao artifact has already weakened. If the new Dao artifact is born from this, it would be a great calamity for Baishi Town. To prevent any accidents, everyone here must die… no, perhaps we should use soul searching instead.”
The Physical Law Official Ji Yan considered the issue of needing individuals during the great disaster and decided on a different solution.
Ji Xuan also nodded, “Yes, soul searching should suffice; there’s no need for excessive killings.”
“The one who controls the Dao artifact will likely not simply surrender; this artifact can change the order,” Liu Quan remarked.
The two members of the Ji family shook their heads, saying,
“It’s nothing to worry about. How many people will recognize the path of this newly born Dao artifact? In our domain…”
“He will undoubtedly perish!”
A bronze cauldron, as tall as a person, appeared from Ji Yan’s hand.
It was neither a token nor a chain nor an ancient book; this Dao artifact was a bronze cauldron, enveloped in endless black light. This bronze cauldron was tangled in chains, with the sound of chanting legal decrees resonating.
“Those who defy shall die!”
