Chapter 7: Primordial Divine Cauldron
A ray of dawn appeared in the sky, and the road to the underworld gradually disappeared.
The whole world seemed to have changed overnight.
The place where the three ghost immortals fought fiercely in the forest was like being hit by a meteorite. Not only were all the flowers, plants and trees wiped out, but there was also a huge pit several hundred feet in radius in the middle.
At the edge of the huge pit, on the hill, Chen Jiu was still lying there staring blankly, as if he had lost his soul.
This guy might be in heat!
"Ajiu."
"Ninth brother?"
"Master Jiu!"
“Everyone has left.”
The Wolf Demon King called out several times before Chen Jiu came back to his senses.
He said awkwardly: "I know, I just remembered something in my dream."
You are dreaming!
Wolf demon Wang Er couldn't help but sigh: "Ajiu, don't blame me for not reminding you, she is a ghost."
That's what I said.
Chen Jiu blurted out: "What's wrong with ghosts? Haven't you seen how beautiful they are? It is said that some people are not afraid of even snakes, so why should I be afraid of ghosts?"
Is there anyone who dares to marry a snake spirit?
That thing...
The second wolf demon king couldn't help but feel his hair stand on end.
He was stunned for a while and then reminded: "Don't forget, she is a ghost fairy, and everyone calls her Her Royal Highness Princess. Can you afford to marry her?"
This is indeed a problem.
I am just a poor guy, and I only have a few taels of silver that I just robbed. It is unrealistic for me to marry a princess.
It’s better to be realistic.
Chen Jiu slowly turned his gaze towards the wolf demon, and said with hope on his face: "I forgot to ask, are you a man or a woman?"
Upon hearing this, Wolf Demon King II tucked his tail between his legs, took a step back, and said alertly, "What do you want to do? I'm a male!"
male?
Chen Jiu pondered and said, "Can't I become a woman when I transform? You just met that princess, it would be fine if I could become as beautiful as her."
I'm afraid you got kicked in the head by a donkey.
The wolf demon king said angrily: "Shut up, I treat you as a brother, what are you thinking about?"
Chen Jiu said innocently: "I just want to save some money for the betrothal gift. If you don't want to change it, then don't change it. Why are you so angry?"
"Uh, can you guys stop talking about this? There are people here."
A weak voice suddenly sounded.
Someone!
The man and the wolf were startled and looked around in panic.
The problem is, there is no one around, not even a ghost.
"My old furnace is right in front of you, where are you looking?"
The voice seemed to be getting weaker.
Old slave?
Chen Jiu was stunned for a moment, then he widened his eyes, staring at the Great Desolation Cauldron in front of him in amazement, "You can talk? You have become a spirit too!"
He had seen wild beasts and even flowers, plants and trees become spirits, so he had never expected that a large copper and iron cauldron could also become a spirit.
The Great Desolate Divine Cauldron said helplessly: "My old furnace has been in existence since the beginning of the Great Desolate World. I don't know how many tens of thousands of years it has been. Even a piece of stone would have become a spirit, let alone I am not a stone ."
It is truly a rare treasure!
This divine tripod has existed for who knows how many tens of thousands of years!
Now I’m rich!
Chen Jiu was so excited that he was a little incoherent and said, "Lao Lu, uh, this name is not very good, can you change it? By the way, do you know any god-level skills? Also, what magical powers do you have? Can you tell me about it?"
The Great God Cauldron said in a trembling voice: "Let's talk about this later. I'm almost dying. Can you let me absorb some blood and qi to slow down my condition?"
ah?
It’s almost over!
Upon hearing this, Chen Jiu lowered his head and took a closer look.
Sure enough, there were tiny cracks all over the Primordial Divine Cauldron, as if it was about to explode.
We can’t let such a treasure explode!
He quickly grabbed the wolf demon king's second front leg, pulled out his ox-horn knife, and said urgently: "You have to hold on! How do we put the blood? Should we pour it directly on the cauldron or open the lid and put it inside?"
"What are you doing? These are my legs!"
The wolf demon Wang Er was shocked and quickly pulled his front legs back, but with his small arms and legs, he was no match for Chen Jiu in strength, and he almost fell over with such a sudden pull.
What are these two guys doing ?
The Great Desolate Divine Cauldron said weakly: "You just need to agree to let me suck it, there is no need to bleed, I can suck it myself.
Don't worry, I won't suck your blood for nothing. After I suck your blood, you will be my master. I can help you. If you have any questions, you can ask me."
Is there such a good thing?
Such a divine tripod can recognize its master just by absorbing some qi and blood!
The second wolf demon king immediately stepped forward and said, "Okay, come on, suck me as much as you want."
The Great Desolate Divine Cauldron said with some disdain: "How can you absorb enough energy and blood with such a small amount of yours? I'm afraid I'll suck you to death by accident!"
Is it so scary?
Chen Jiu was stunned for a moment, but still gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll let you inhale, but you have to inhale slowly. I'm running for my life, don't inhale so much that I can't walk."
Upon hearing this, the Honghuang Divine Cauldron immediately shrank into a point of light and sank into Chen Jiu's body.
"hiss."
Chen Jiu couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. In that instant, he felt as if he had been hollowed out, and his calves were trembling.
When the Wolf Demon King Er saw Chen Jiu's face, he couldn't help but take several steps back.
This guy is so scary. Chen Jiu felt like he had suddenly fought a monster for seven days and seven nights. His eye sockets were sunken !
Chen Jiu clenched his fists and panted, "How is it, Lao Lu? Uh, your name is really awkward."
Honghuang Shending sighed, "Fortunately, I have finally recovered. Laolu is just what Qian called me. Some people also called me Laoding before. Uncle Ding, you can call me whatever you want."
Just calm down.
I don't know how many questions I have.
Chen Jiu thought about it, and then said hopefully: "Lao Ding, what magical power do you have? Can you tell me now?"
The Great God Cauldron said without hesitation: "I can go up to the sky and down to the earth, I can make elixirs and weapons, I can also seal and imprison demons, ghosts and even gods, and I can even use it as a protective artifact."
so smart!
Chen Jiu couldn't help but said in surprise: "Lao Ding, can you do me a favor? Jimo Yinsi and Langya Wang Clan always send people to hunt me down. Can you imprison all the masters who are hunting me down?"
Uh, this.
The Great Desolate Divine Cauldron said awkwardly, "You also saw the battle last night. I fought against the Nine Nether Mysterious Evil Formation and the nine ghost kings. The body of the cauldron was almost blown up. The Yin energy accumulated over a thousand years was also completely exhausted. The nine ancient dragons that were originally imprisoned were borrowed by Qian girl to pull the coffin. Now I can't use any magical powers at all."
ah?
Chen Jiu was stunned when he heard this: "You have absorbed so much of my energy and blood, but you can't use any magical powers?"
It’s bad. If this guy doesn’t let me suck it, I don’t know how many years it will take me to recover!
Honghuang Shending boasted: "Don't worry, as long as you keep providing Qi and blood, so that I can nourish my divine body and return to my peak, I can imprison you even if a god comes.
You don’t know how powerful I am. During the tens of thousands of years since the beginning of the prehistoric world, I have imprisoned at least eight thousand gods and immortals.”
real or fake?
Chen Jiu hesitated and asked, "When can you return to your peak state?"
Honghuang Shending said carefully: "It depends on you. Your current blood and energy are far inferior to those of the ancient beasts. If you could have as much blood and energy as the ancient beasts, I would be able to recover to my peak after absorbing it for a year or two."
Ancient mythical beast?
I haven’t even reached the level of Demon King yet!
Wait, I'm not being taken advantage of, am I?
Otherwise, why would Her Royal Highness the Princess give me such a treasure as the Primordial Divine Cauldron!
Chen Jiu couldn't help but frown and asked, "Why did Princess Zhang Qian give you to me?"
Honghuang Shending said helplessly: "There is nothing I can do, Qian girl. Ghost immortals have no blood and energy, and Yin energy is useless to me. Now the spiritual energy in the Yang world is getting thinner and thinner. If I don't have enough blood and energy to nourish me, I'm afraid I won't be able to recover to my peak even if I absorb the thin spiritual energy in the Yang world for tens of thousands of years."
I am such a sucker!
People treated me as a tool to repair the sacred tripod, but I was bewildered and thought that they were interested in me!
Beauty is a disaster!
Chen Jiu couldn't help but said with a look of disappointment: "Is it possible that once you have recovered, she will take you back?"
It turns out that this kid had misunderstood.
Honghuang Shending quickly explained: "No, no, Qian is a very good person, how could she do such a thing.
She told me in advance that I should follow you in the mortal world and rely on your blood to recover my strength, so I didn't hold back in this battle, and I used up all the Yin energy I had accumulated over a thousand years."
in advance?
Chen Jiu couldn't help but wonder: "Do you mean she has known me for a long time?"
Honghuang Shending said with emotion: "Yes, you don't remember anything at all? I have seen you many times in the underworld over the past thousand years, and every time it seemed like you came to ask Qian girl to help you reincarnate."
ah?
Chen Jiu was stunned and said, "More than a thousand years? I even went to the underworld to look for her! How come I don't have any impression of her at all?"
Honghuang Shending said calmly: "This should be because of Mengpo Soup. No matter whether you are reincarnated or resurrected, you have to drink Mengpo Soup, forget everything, and cleanse all distracting thoughts, otherwise the soul cannot be completely integrated with the body in the world of the living."
Meng Po soup?
Chen Jiu actually had a vague impression. He seemed to have drunk that thing in his childhood dream, and he had drunk it more than once!
He couldn't help but ask, "What was my identity in my previous life? What kind of princess is this Qian girl? What does the Dark Cult do? Why is the underworld so against the Dark Cult?"
Honghuang Shending thought for a while, then murmured: "I don't know what your identity was in your previous life. You have never mentioned it in front of me when you came to the underworld several times. Qian girl seems to be a princess of the Wu Kingdom. The Underworld Cult was founded by Qian girl's uncle Zhang Shixin. They seem to want to snatch control of the underworld from the Northern Underworld."
Chen Jiu was surprised when he heard this: "The Dark Cult is so powerful! Do they want to control the underworld?"
Honghuang Shending sighed and said, "The strength of the Dark Cult is not enough to compete with the Northern Yin Division. In fact, even the Eastern Ghost Emperor of the Northern Yin Division is stronger than them. It is precisely because of this that Qian has been practicing hard for more than a thousand years and dared not slack off in the slightest."
This beautiful girl doesn't dare to slack off at all?
Upon hearing this, Chen Jiu couldn't help but remember the fox fairy's instructions. This was his last chance!
If he cannot escape the pursuit of Jimo Underworld and Langya Wang Clan this time, he may lose the chance to go to the Underworld to ask Zhang Qian for help in reincarnation.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but said solemnly: "Do you know any god-level skills? My current strength is no match for Jimo Yinsi and Langya Wang's. Moreover, I only know the skills for the body refining stage, and I don't have the skills for the later stages. I can't cultivate to the level of competing with them."
Honghuang Shending said in confusion: "I don't need to practice, how can I know any god-level skills?"
ah?
Chen Jiu couldn't help but said in a lost voice: "Haven't you imprisoned many gods before? You don't even know the god-level skills?"
Honghuang Shending said heartlessly: "They are not mentally ill, why are they reciting their own skills to a furnace cauldron like me?"
well.
This Honghuang Divine Cauldron is just like an old man in the village. It likes to chat with people. The problem is, don’t be like the old man in the village and chat about useless things!
Chen Jiu was quite disappointed and said, "Have you ever heard of what comes after the body refining?"
Honghuang Shending recalled: "Body training? It seems that the ancient cultivators did not specialize in body training. They mainly trained their Qi. The way of Qi training seems to be divided into six steps: Qi training, foundation building, golden elixir, immortal palace, kingdom of God, and ascension."
Refining Qi?
Chen Jiu was stunned when he heard this.
He seemed to have some impression again.
The problem was, he just couldn't remember how to practice Qi Refining.
He could only ask helplessly: "How to practice Qi Refining, do you know?"
This is easy.
Honghuang Shending said without hesitation: "Qi training is to sit in meditation and breathe in and out, absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. As for how to break through after absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, each method is different, and I am not very clear about it."
Aura!
Chen Jiu was in a trance again when he heard this, and the scenes in his dream began to flash in his mind again.
He vaguely remembered that this thing was very important.
The problem is, he just can’t remember what aura is.
He couldn't help but ask, "What is spiritual energy? I can't even feel it, how can I absorb it?"
Honghuang Shending couldn't help but be surprised and said: "You don't even know what spiritual energy is! You can't feel it? You haven't even cultivated your spiritual consciousness!"
Divine consciousness?
Chen Jiu said in a trance: "How do you cultivate spiritual consciousness? Do you know?"
Of course I know this.
Honghuang Shending introduced in detail: "Spiritual consciousness is actually thought, or it can be said to be your spirit, your will. When your thought is strong to a certain extent, it will turn into spiritual consciousness.
The method of cultivating mind is very simple, which is meditation.
Sit cross-legged, relax your whole body, half-close your eyes, eliminate all distracting thoughts, don't think about anything, and use your mind to feel everything you can feel.
Strengthening your mind is a slow process. At the beginning, you will have the five senses: sight, sound, taste, smell, and touch. When your mind is strong to a certain degree, you will be able to look inward and feel the spiritual energy between heaven and earth.
At this time, your thoughts are equivalent to becoming divine consciousness."
Upon hearing this, Chen Jiu quickly sat down cross-legged, relaxed his whole body, half-closed his eyes, eliminated all distracting thoughts, and used his mind to feel.
He saw the unrecognizable mountains and forests, he heard the slight sound of the wind, he tasted blood in his mouth, he smelled a slightly foul odor, and he felt the breeze blowing across his cheeks.
Next, he subconsciously concentrated his mind and looked inward at his Dantian Qi Sea.
He saw it!
The vast Dantian Qi sea was filled with mist, and the Honghuang Divine Cauldron was quietly floating in it, slowly absorbing the mist.
He couldn't help but ask, "Are you in my Dantian Qi Sea?"
ah!
Honghuang Shending couldn't help but be shocked and said, "You can see me? You can see inside? Your thoughts have turned into divine consciousness!"
Isn’t this too fast?
The average person needs to meditate for at least a few years before they can transform their thoughts into spiritual consciousness!
Chen Jiu didn't expect that his thoughts could be transformed into spiritual consciousness so quickly. Perhaps his thoughts were already very strong, or perhaps he had practiced it in his previous life.
In short, his thoughts somehow turned into spiritual consciousness.
He looked inward for a while and couldn't help but ask curiously, "What is this hazy mist?"
Honghuang Shending still had some disbelief in his heart and said, "Your thoughts have really turned into divine consciousness? You can even communicate with me using divine consciousness!
This mist is spiritual energy. You have water spiritual roots, and you have been absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth for many years. The water spiritual energy has begun to turn into mist.
You are about to reach the Great Perfection of Qi Refining. I thought you were still refining Qi."
Water-based spiritual energy?
Water spiritual root!
Chen Jiu carefully felt the mist in the Dantian Qi Sea, then released his spiritual consciousness and felt this world again.
He felt it!
There is also water-based spiritual energy between heaven and earth, but the water-based spiritual energy between heaven and earth is too thin and cannot be compared with the water-based spiritual energy in his Dantian Qi Sea.
How do I absorb this water spiritual energy? Is it the same as absorbing the Taiyin energy?
Chen Jiu was just about to give it a try when a man appeared from a hill not far away.
This guy just popped out of the ground!
Fiery red official robes?
Lingguan!
Chen Jiu suddenly opened his eyes wide, and the wolf demon Wang Er had already begun to retreat slowly.
Seeing this, the spiritual officer couldn't help but laugh triumphantly, "Hahahaha, it's true that after searching for a long time, I finally found it without any effort. Chen Jiu, surrender quickly and I can still spare your life."
The fight between ghosts and immortals here is so earth-shaking that it can probably be heard dozens of miles away. We should have run away long ago!
Chen Jiu made a prompt decision and ran down the mountain.
Seeing this, the spiritual officer snorted coldly: "Want to run? No way!"
With a "buzz" sound, the earth energy gathered, and a two or three meter high wall suddenly appeared in front of the man and the wolf!
This guy is much more powerful than Xu Ning!
Chen Jiu stared at the spiritual officer emerging from the city wall and said coldly: "Who are you? Are you looking for death? You should know that if Xu Ning hadn't run fast, I would have killed him long ago. You, don't force me to kill someone!"
The spiritual officer sneered, "Xu Ning? How dare you mention that piece of trash! I'm Gongsun Xia, the county magistrate, and I'm responsible for dealing with rebels like you. Do you still want to kill me? If you don't want to die, surrender immediately!"
Oh no, this guy is a real spiritual official!
In fact, there are only four people in the county government who can be considered officials. Apart from the county magistrate, there are the county magistrate, the registrar, and the instructor. The other six departments of clerks are all minor officials without rank.
The Dianshi is in charge of the public security of a county!
This guy must be extremely powerful.
Chen Jiu stared at Gongsun Xia on the city wall with a serious look on his face.
