The Drunken Snow Saber, after being reforged, broke through and became a twelve-thousand-year-old Tribulation Demon Soldier. In the following period, its power slowly rose to eighteen thousand years.
A Great Demon is over one hundred years old, a Spirit Monster over a thousand years old, and a Tribulation Demon over ten thousand years old. The more advanced the cultivation of a demonic creature, the harder it is to improve. For most, their only shortcut is through combat.
Killing a Tribulation Demon with ten thousand years of cultivation and absorbing the condensed demonic crystal can increase one’s cultivation by at least eight thousand years.
Compared to cultivation through self-practice and absorbing Vital Energy over time, this method is like ascending to heaven in one step.
This is also the Great Dao Principle of the law of the jungle in nature. Big fish eat small fish, small fish eat shrimp – it’s all the same.
The small mountain of demonic crystals was slowly shrinking. After a moment, the Drunken Snow Saber finished absorbing their essence, leaving only the Tribulation Demon Crystal of the Riot Ape. Its cultivation increased from eighteen thousand years to nineteen thousand eight hundred years.
This was an increase of a full eighteen thousand years! Only one step remained to reach twenty thousand years.
Chu Yun did not rush to absorb more cultivation from the Tribulation Demon Crystal. Instead, he stored it away and deactivated the Eight Trigrams Battle Formation space.
As the Drunken Snow Saber’s cultivation increased, its Spirit also grew. Even the alliance contract with Chu Yun exerted considerable pressure on him.
Despite the Congenital Drunken Snow Saber’s excellent quality, its Spirit was overwhelmingly vast, almost a hundred times larger than that of its peers. This fact made Chu Yun feel both love and hate.
Chu Yun initially had some surplus Spirit. However, after snatching the Jianmu from Erlang Tian Jun, this Great Tribulation Demon of over a million years old pushed Chu Yun’s Spirit to its limit.
Now that the Drunken Snow Saber’s cultivation had increased significantly, Chu Yun’s Spirit had truly reached its limit, with no room for any surplus.
“Alas! If only there were more Dragon Eye Fruits on the Lishan Dragon Eye Flower Branch. Then I could use the Spirit from the East to further break through my strength,” Chu Yun sighed helplessly, then shifted his attention to the Wall of Principles before him.
What treasures would the inheritance of the Passionate King, a peerless genius and darling of the era, contain?
Chu Yun sent out a spiritual call, communicating with the Wall of Principles, and soon received the information hidden within.
There were only two ways to pass through the Wall of Principles and enter the space it guarded. Satisfying either one allowed passage.
Chu Yun took out the Sect Leader Ring of the Divine Thief Gate and wore it on his thumb. He cautiously stepped forward, and moved through without any obstruction.
Xiao Xiaoxian and Jin Bihan, also members of the Divine Thief Gate, followed closely behind him and encountered no obstacles.
After walking a short distance in the tunnel, they saw a stone gate. Its design was exquisite and luxurious… The door was carved with countless women twisting in graceful dance poses… Their faces were angelic, their figures devilish. A scent of lust and indulgence immediately assaulted them.
The Sect Leader Ring had been emitting a bright green glow since they passed the Wall of Principles.
Chu Yun, wearing it, tried to push the door. It seemed unresisted and opened with a gentle push.
A secret chamber was revealed before the three of them.
The secret chamber was not large, about twenty paces from front to back and fifteen paces from side to side. In the center of the chamber was a table, upon which rested five treasure boxes of various sizes.
Chu Yun touched the first treasure box, and the Sect Leader Ring flashed. Once opened, the box contained a Demonic Beast Egg.
The egg was the size of a sea bowl, deep purple all over. It was round and smooth, almost like a sphere. The shell was incredibly smooth, shimmering with a halo.
“Could this be the egg of the Six Desires Heart Demon Scorpion?” Jin Bihan guessed.
Xiao Xiaoxian, however, became excited. “This isn’t the egg of a Six Desires Heart Demon Scorpion, but the egg of a Purple Hammer Turtle! I spent some time searching for its trace, but alas, to no avail. I never expected to find one here.”
“That’s right, this is indeed a Purple Hammer Turtle Demonic Beast Egg,” Chu Yun also recognized it. “This type of demonic beast has a very peculiar appearance. Its head is like a bronze hammer, almost half the size of its body. It possesses a natural Dao Method called the Purple Lightning Head Hammer, making it a premier assault weapon.”
“Most importantly, its Spirit feedback is particularly excellent for a certain part of a man’s anatomy. Heh heh heh~~” Xiao Xiaoxian laughed, his expression quite lewd.
“Hmph, I remember now. A lecher’s treasures are three, rare and hard to find. Among these, the Purple Hammer Turtle is the most sought after,” Jin Bihan frowned slightly, snorted, and shot Xiao Xiaoxian a fierce glare.
Xiao Xiaoxian immediately dared not laugh. He lamented inwardly: “The Sect Leader possesses two of the lecher’s treasures, yet you, Jin Bihan, ignore that and target me instead. I only laughed twice. Alas, people truly have different fates!”
Chu Yun shook his head helplessly. “Xiaoxian, since you want it, it’s yours. Cultivate it well.”
“Yes, Sect Leader!” Xiao Xiaoxian immediately cast aside his self-pity, his eyes welling up with tears of gratitude. He felt that following Chu Yun was indeed the right decision!
Chu Yun then opened the second treasure box.
A pink Immortal Pouch lay quietly inside the box.
Chu Yun was stunned for a moment, then his eyes flashed keenly—this was actually an Upper grade Immortal Pouch!
This was truly rare.
Since his rebirth, he had only encountered four Upper grade Immortal Pouches. The first was the Star Sea Dragon Palace, which originally belonged to the Sea Dragon King. The second was the Soul Searching Palace, found by the Earth Element God. The third was the Endless Forest of the Ten Thousand Beasts King. The fourth was the Dragon Gate World of the You Huang.
These were all Upper grade Immortal Pouches. Among them, the Dragon Gate World was the most exceptional, containing eight layers, with each layer superior to the previous three.
Of these four, the Soul Searching Palace was completely destroyed, which was a great pity. The Endless Forest and the Dragon Gate World were fully opened, merging with Heaven and Earth to form small worlds. Although they existed, they could not be moved or transported.
Chu Yun truly possessed only the first Immortal Pouch, the Star Sea Dragon Palace. Besides that, he had two secondary pouches: the Flower Field Mistake Immortal Pouch for cultivating Demonic Plants and the Vast Gold Heavenly Light Bag for storing Demon Soldiers.
He once had the White Little Sage Weapon Scroll, which could be considered a unique type of Immortal Pouch. However, during a battle, to conceal his attack methods, he directly used the Demonic Sword within it to unleash the Sword Cascade Dao Method, and it was damaged.
Lower and Middle grade Immortal Pouches could only carry demonic creatures. However, Upper grade Immortal Pouches could carry other miscellaneous items, such as Stone Coins, Pills, and so on.
Even Middle grade Immortal Pouches were priceless and difficult to obtain. Upper grade Immortal Pouches were not circulated in the market at all. An ordinary person might never see an Upper grade Immortal Pouch in their lifetime.
The East, a Jun level elder who had roamed for hundreds of years, only yielded three Middle grade Immortal Pouches when searched. Among King level powerhouses, perhaps not one in ten possessed an Upper grade Immortal Pouch. However, Emperor level powerhouses, above Kings, each possessed an Upper grade Immortal Pouch.
The Night Emperor’s Upper grade Immortal Pouch, named “Night Curtain,” was a famous Upper grade Immortal Pouch. Unfortunately, Xiao Xiaoxian failed to obtain it at Night Emperor City.
This showed just how precious an Upper grade Immortal Pouch was.
Chu Yun suppressed his excitement and took out the Immortal Pouch from the treasure box. It had a soft and delicate feel to the touch, like cotton or silk.
How large would the space inside be? What would its layout be like? Would it be empty, or would it contain demonic creatures?
Chu Yun was eager to open it and examine it immediately, but he couldn’t.
An Immortal Pouch was a type of Demonic Weapon. Although it required less Spirit, Chu Yun’s Spirit had reached its limit.
With no other option, he had to store the Immortal Pouch in his embrace, to be examined later.
Next, he opened the third treasure box.
It was another Demonic Beast Egg.
“Six Desires Heart Demon Scorpion,” Chu Yun stated its origin in one sentence. This Demonic Beast Egg was extraordinary. A Supreme grade Demonic Beast Egg should be inwardly restrained and ordinary, but this one emanated fetal Spirit.
Six-colored radiance alternated, flashing on and off, a remarkable sight. With each flash, Chu Yun felt a disturbance in his state of mind, flashes of inexplicable emotions arising.
“If this demonic beast is raised well, it might be able to counter Erlang Tian Jun’s Jade Pure Heart Lotus!” Chu Yun was very pleased. He stored the Demonic Beast Egg and opened the fourth treasure box.
It was a Demonic Weapon… a small cauldron.
The small cauldron was only palm-sized. The mouth of the cauldron was round, not square. It had two handles on the rim and three legs underneath. It was made of bronze and was sealed, so its cultivation was not visible.
Chu Yun took it out and found that the small cauldron was not heavy. Changing his angle, he made a new discovery.
Around the small cauldron, four square characters were formed in ancient relief carvings.
“Jin… Shuo… Shan… Yi…” He rotated the round cauldron, reading the four characters in sequence.
“Jin Xi Sui Yi? What does this mean?” Xiao Xiaoxian asked, confused.
Jin Bihan also frowned slightly. She felt as if she had seen these four characters in some ancient text.
Suddenly, her Spirit flashed, and she exclaimed, “It’s not Jin Xi Sui Yi, but Yi Jin Xi Sui! My heavens, this is the renowned Marrow Cleansing Cauldron from Xingzhou’s history!”
By the end of her sentence, her voice had risen, and her eyes were shining with excitement.
“Marrow Cleansing Cauldron? Could this be one of the Nine Cauldrons of the world, the Kingly artifact among cauldrons?” Xiao Xiaoxian was also stunned.
“It should be. It matches the descriptions in the ancient texts perfectly!” Jin Bihan was extremely excited.
“I remember now as well. The White Emperor, in ancient times, forged the Nine Cauldrons to suppress the various regions of Xingzhou. This Marrow Cleansing Cauldron was his alchemy Demonic Weapon. Good heavens! With this, I don’t need to collect Dragon Eye Fruits anymore! This Marrow Cleansing Cauldron is enough!” Chu Yun also recalled and exclaimed joyfully.
The Marrow Cleansing Cauldron was an Emperor Weapon, originating from the White Emperor’s hand.
In ancient times, the White Emperor, in his effort to train his successor, exhausted Xingzhou’s resources, gathered countless rare treasures, and even dismantled countless Demonic Weapons to forge the Nine Cauldrons of the world.
Although it was an alchemy Demonic Weapon, it could only refine one type of pill: Marrow Cleansing Elixir.
Diluting this elixir with clear water formed a medicinal liquid that, when soaked in, could rapidly improve the body’s constitution from the inside out.
What was most precious was that this elixir had no resistance build-up. Similar to a chef’s dishes, no matter how much was consumed, it could improve physical fitness each time.
“The Nine Cauldrons of the world disappeared long ago into the river of history. I never expected to encounter one in the inheritance of the Passionate King, and it happens to be the one I need the most. Hahaha, destiny is with me!” Chu Yun couldn’t help but laugh heartily.
The first three treasures did not move Chu Yun so deeply. Only the Marrow Cleansing Cauldron did. This was not only because it was from the White Emperor and unique in the world, but more importantly, its appearance solved Chu Yun’s immediate urgent need.
“The last treasure box!” Chu Yun put away the Marrow Cleansing Cauldron and reached for the final target on the table.
“Hmm? This treasure box is actually protected by a small-scale Wall of Principles. Even with my Sect Leader Ring, I cannot pass?” (To be continued.
