Infinite flames engulfed the surroundings.
The scorching heat surged like waves of fire, crashing towards him.
But soon, Ye Wushuang calmed down.
These were not real flames attacking him; instead, they were the memories he had merged with through the cauldron’s consciousness, experiencing everything it had gone through.
The tempering by fierce fire, the enhancement by mystical runes.
When the cauldron was first forged from the flames, it radiated brilliant light.
Countless eyes were drawn to it.
It had witnessed countless bloody battles and changed hands repeatedly.
After several transfers of ownership, the cauldron eventually became a possession of the Li Clan.
As the Li Clan delved deeper into its secrets, they finally took action to elevate its status.
Thus, one by one, infants were mercilessly slaughtered, their blood dripping into the cauldron in a cruel and horrifying manner.
Later, the final master of the cauldron, Li Yun, emerged.
Li Yun, carrying the cauldron, fled and hid, eventually choosing the depths of the Youlong Mountain to create his own tomb, burying himself along with the cauldron.
However, as time passed, the tomb, subjected to geological changes, was shattered and fragmented.
The cauldron, displaced and wandering, eventually merged with the Heavenly Charm Demon Vine.
Ye Wushuang watched the life of the cauldron unfold before him, as if he had lived through its entire existence himself.
Looking at the Li Wang Ding in front of him, for some reason, Ye Wushuang felt a pang of sorrow.
“Your fate was not of your own making, and… to actually give birth to a spark of consciousness, that is almost impossible for a royal-grade spiritual instrument…” Ye Wushuang said, “This tower is divine, and you have seen the sword. Even in my past life as the Heavenly Emperor, I was at a loss with this sword, unable to find a way to deal with it.”
“The experiences I have gone through are even more incredible.”
“If you are willing, you can merge your consciousness with mine and become my own spiritual instrument.”
At that moment, Ye Wushuang spread his hands, and mystical runes began to gather in his palms.
These were not ordinary runes for forging spiritual instruments, but rather runes that allowed a warrior and a spiritual instrument to communicate and connect.
The connection he had with the Tianya Sword, even in this life, was also due to the mystery of these runes, allowing them to be in perfect harmony.
As Ye Wushuang released the runes, a series of patterns from within the Li Wang Ding began to swirl and rise, merging into his palms.
The runes and patterns fused together.
Soon,
Ye Wushuang felt a new connection of understanding and unity between himself and the Li Wang Ding.
This cauldron had truly given birth to a spark of consciousness and was willing to join him.
“Good!”
Ye Wushuang smiled and said, “Since you have come to me, you are now a brand-new spiritual cauldron. The name Li Wang Ding is no longer fitting. I shall name you Qianyuan Ding!”
The ancient four-legged cauldron flashed with light.
Ye Wushuang realized that this cauldron still needed vital energy to transform, but it did not necessarily have to be the blood of infants.
Then, Ye Wushuang looked at the second layer, where the Jiuyuan Tai Xu Sword was enveloped by countless Tai Xu Sword Qi, and he felt helpless.
He had tried to activate this sword before.
It had almost drained all his vital energy.
A peerless divine sword.
Ye Wushuang was not unfamiliar with such weapons.
However, this kind of malevolent divine sword was something he had never encountered before.
Moreover, the first layer of the Jiuzhong Zhen Shen Tower had time slowed by half and possessed primal power, but it also required life force to activate.
Any of these aspects was incredibly astonishing.
In the second layer, only this sword hung suspended.
Now, this sword had even influenced the essence of the Qianyuan Ding.
What would the third layer hold?
To break through to the third layer would also require the irrigation of vital energy.
Vital energy!
Ye Wushuang did not know how much vital energy would be needed.
However, as he continued on his path, there would inevitably be battles.
Vital energy would not be lacking.
Having resolved the issue with the Qianyuan Ding, Ye Wushuang felt greatly refreshed.
Even though the cauldron was now a royal-grade spiritual instrument, because it had connected with him, he could control it.
It just couldn’t unleash the full power of the cauldron.
But that was still terrifying enough.
In this way, he had gained an additional layer of capability.
With the Myriad Swords Return to the Origin Technique, combined with his mastery of sword intent, his power was already formidable.
Adding the deployment of Tai Xu Sword Qi.
And the power of the Qianyuan Ding.
If he encountered a truly deadly crisis, he could still activate the endless primal power within the first layer of the Jiuzhong Zhen Shen Tower to enhance himself.
Now that he had reached the second level of the Heavenly Gang Realm, with a lifespan of five hundred years, spending a hundred years was not a significant loss.
After all, his cultivation advanced rapidly.
Exiting the Jiuzhong Zhen Shen Tower, Ye Wushuang felt invigorated.
Outside the valley, Qing Shiyu, Li Wenbo, and Chu Qingcheng had cleaned up the battlefield.
Now, many of the heavenly pride of the Seven Great Sects were dead or injured.
However, the people from the Tianyan Empire still had not arrived.
“Did they already come and see that Lou Ge, Sheng Chaonian, Sheng Wanyun, and Wang Teng were all killed by you, and then decided not to show themselves?” Li Wenbo wondered curiously inside the valley.
