Chapter 1241. Innate Treasure, 9 Dragon Ancient Cauldron

Meanwhile, the 3 individuals who had just escaped from the blessed land all turned somewhat pale.

Lyra turned back and glanced at the Crimson Sun Blessed Land sealed by the Azure Dragon Suppresses World Cauldron, exclaiming in awe, "It seems the world of Flowing Rivers and 100 Seas is about to face a cataclysmic upheaval."

Upon hearing this, Eldrin (Person Name) also slightly changed his expression.

2 supreme Earth Immortals of the eighth level launched their assault, clearly using the Crimson Sun Blessed Land as a trap specifically designed to execute Daoist 1000 Streams.

This 1000 Streams Daoist possessed a cultivation base at the late-stage Earth Immortal realm. Not only was he ranked among the top 3 powerhouses in the Flowing Rivers 100 Seas, but his name also resonated across the entire Western Qi Divine Abyss Sea.

Most crucially, he was also the Supreme Elder of the Flowing Fire Star Palace, a position of utmost reverence and prestige.

You must understand, the Flowing Fire Star Palace dominates the Western Aether Divine Abyss Sea, reigning as the foremost immortal sect among the 100 Seas of Flowing Rivers. Its ranks boast no fewer than 3,000 immortals, including as many as 17 Heavenspan Patriarchs of the Earth Immortal realm.

It could be said that the strength of this lineage accounted for 30 to 40 percent of the entire Liuchuan Baihai.

Even more astonishing was the fact that the master of the Flowing Fire Star Palace was a supreme powerhouse at the half-step Celestial Immortal level.

The master of the Flowing Fire Star Palace possessed heaven-defying talent. Having cultivated for merely over 6,000,000 years, he had already transcended the limits of Earth Immortals and comprehended the power of stellar dao principles. He stood as a supreme existence with the potential to attain the divine status of a Ninth Heaven Star Sovereign.

Such a peerless powerhouse stood as a pillar of heaven within the Western Qi Divine Abyss Sea, 1 whom even Celestial Immortals would receive with utmost courtesy. 1 could well imagine how formidable his strength must be.

Once the 1000 Streams Daoist perishes, the master of the Flowing Fire Star Palace will undoubtedly be enraged beyond measure.

The demon race and the Celestial Fiend race also sought to rise amidst this great calamity. Once these 2 forces collided, it was feared that an immeasurable catastrophe would sweep across the land, affecting the hundreds of millions of living beings throughout the Flowing River 100 Seas.

At this thought, Eldrin sighed, "With the great tribulation approaching, even we 9 Heavens Immortals cannot stand aloof."

"Though the Earth Immortal blessed lands may seal their mountain gates to avoid the great calamity, since the demon race and the Guan Sha tribe have stirred up this tribulation, the Western Aether Divine Abyss Sea is still destined for great chaos."

Qing Ji nodded, then sighed and said, "If the heavens fall, the tall will hold them up. With our cultivation merely at the late-stage Ascendant Realm, we must exhaust every effort just to protect ourselves. I fear we lack the strength to intervene in this matter."

"Indeed." Lyra (Person Name) nodded gracefully before speaking with serene composure, "Within the Western Divine Realm's seas lie 2 celestial grottos—Western Aether and Divine Abyss—with the Western Abyss Heavenly Palace reigning supreme over the cosmos."

"If a true calamity sweeps across the heavens and earth, they shall stand guard at the forefront. You and I need only focus on preserving ourselves."

Eldrin nodded upon hearing this, yet still spoke thoughtfully: "But as great turmoil approaches, I fear that to avoid being entangled in calamitous qi, paradises like the Western Aether and Divine Abyss might seal their mountains and close their gates, remaining aloof from worldly affairs."

Hearing this, both women fell silent.

Within the Western Qi Divine Abyss Sea, the 2 blessed realms of Western Qi and Divine Abyss suppressed heaven and earth, leaving the demon tribes and the 100 Races Immortal Spirits perpetually in a relatively weakened position.

They were not completely driven out by the human race and the Spirit God Clan, relying on the support from the Myriad Demon Ancestral Domain beyond the Western Divine Deep Sea and the Celestial Immortal (Cultivation Realm) powerhouses of the 100 Races Heavenly Domain operating behind the scenes.

Given the strength of the Western Abyss Dragon Palace and the Sky Scourge Clan, turning the tables was nearly impossible.

They dare to stir up the great calamity at this moment, likely because they have some degree of confidence. The reason behind this is not difficult to surmise.

Most likely, it was because the Western Qi and Divine Abyss cave heavens, in order to protect their disciples from the great calamity, would seal off their realms when the catastrophe arrived, thus remaining untouched by the tribulation.

At this thought, Lyra sighed and said, "Let's not dwell on it further. We should return to Chenghai first."

"Very well."

Eldrin also nodded and continued his journey beyond the Crimson Sun Sea.

Before long, he located Kael (Person Name) and the others concealed in this place, then escorted them back toward the Sea of Returning Abyss.

Just as Eldrin emerged, 2 more figures arrived in the distance beyond the Crimson Sun Blessed Land. They were none other than the Setting Sun Ancestor and the Slanting Sun Ancestor, who had come to this very place.

But then, the Elder of Setting Sun glanced back at the Crimson Sun Blessed Land, his face etched with lingering fear as he said, "This journey was perilous beyond measure. If not for the fact that you, Master, wielded the Crimson Dragon Calamity-Quelling Cauldron (Magic Treasure), I fear both of us would have met our doom within."

"Indeed." Patriarch Canyang nodded, his expression turning extremely grave as he said, "No 1 could have anticipated that the Western Abyss Dragon Palace and the Celestial Fiend Clan would actually join forces to ambush and slay Daoist Qianliu."

"After this battle, I'm afraid the entire 100 Rivers of Liuchuan will be turned upside down."

The Setting Sun Patriarch murmured to himself, drawing a treasure cauldron adorned with dragon patterns from his sleeve. A faint smile graced his lips as he said, "Fortunately, the Crimson Dragon True Soul of the Crimson Dragon World-Suppressing Cauldron has been recovered. Our long-cherished wish is finally fulfilled."

"If not for this item today, neither you nor I might have escaped unscathed."

As he spoke eloquently, a faint smile also appeared on Ancestor Setting Sun's face.

Their Crimson Sun Paradise had countless ties to the Crimson Sun Celestial Deity of old, so they naturally knew some closely guarded secrets.

In the distant past, tens of millions of years ago, the Crimson Sun Blessed Land was once a Pure Yang Immortal Vein. At the heart of this immortal vein lay a Crimson Sun Stone Embryo, which, after nurturing through several kalpas of tribulation, ultimately gave birth to an innate deity.

This deity was known as the Crimson Sun Celestial Divinity, whose origins ranked among the pinnacle even among innate divine beings. He possessed a companion spiritual treasure—the supreme innate artifact, Crimson Sun Halberd.

Unfortunately, the Heavenly Dao of Crimson Sun had ill fortune. Just before his emergence, a mighty Celestial Immortal divined his origins.

How precious the Supreme Primordial Treasures were! Naturally, the Celestial Immortals and mighty figures coveted them immensely. When that Crimson Sun Halberd took form, it was seized by dozens of Celestial Immortals and powerful beings.

In the end, the Crimson Sun Halberd was seized by a Tribulation Ancient Immortal. Having lost his life-bound supreme treasure, the Crimson Sun Heavenly God suffered an imperfection in his Crimson Sun Dao Principle, causing it to degenerate into the Waning Sun Dao Principle.

This Crimson Sun Celestial Divinity was truly worthy of being a top-tier innate deity. Even with a significantly damaged foundation, it still managed to preserve its innate divine nature, ultimately transforming into the Setting Sun Celestial Divinity at the Celestial Immortal realm.

However, after suffering this calamity, the foundations of the Setting Sun Eldrin were no longer flawless, and he failed to transcend the Heavenly Tribulation of the Dao that year, ultimately perishing within its trials.

After the Fallen Sun God perished, the Crimson Sun Blessed Land was seized by the Crimson Flame Qi (Spiritual Root) Sect, while his physical body transformed into the Evening Glow Blessed Land, later occupied by the Patriarch of Waning Sun.

It could be said that both the Crimson Flame Qi (Spiritual Root) Immortal Sect and the Setting Sun Immortal Sect were inextricably linked to the Setting Sun Blessed Land.

The Crimson Flame Qi (Spiritual Root) Immortal Sect had fallen as early as 30,000,000 years ago. While they had concealed the Crimson Sun Blessed Land within the Earthly Immortal Realm, the Lingering Sun Blessed Land remained preserved.

This blessed land had been successively occupied by 3 ancient Earth Immortal sects. By the time it was inherited by the Setting Sun Celestial Divinity, it had already become the fourth Earth Immortal blessed land.

At this thought, Elder Setting Sun couldn't help but ask curiously, "Master, what profound mysteries does the Crimson Dragon World-Suppressing Cauldron (Magic Treasure) hold that you value it so highly, even willing to spare no cost to retrieve its Crimson Dragon True Soul?"

"The origin of this artifact..."

Setting Sun Ancestor hesitated slightly, then sighed after a moment, "Very well. My foundation is limited, and I fear this lifetime holds no further breakthroughs. There's no harm in sharing this with you."

Chapter 1 The Azure Cloud Sect's outer gate competition had reached its final stage. On the martial platform, 2 figures stood facing each other. "Lin Xuan, your cultivation has reached the seventh level of Qi Refinement?!" The young man in blue robes stared in disbelief at his opponent. A faint smile played on Lin Xuan's lips. "Senior Brother Zhang, please enlighten me." 3 months ago, he had fortuitously obtained the mysterious Ancient Jade Pendant (Magic Treasure), which allowed him to see through illusions and comprehend techniques with unprecedented clarity. After countless days and nights of arduous cultivation, he had finally broken through to the late stage of Qi Refinement. "Arrogant!" Zhang Hu sneered, his hands forming seals. "Even if you've reached the seventh level, my Flaming Cloud Art has been perfected!" A surge of fiery spiritual power erupted, coalescing into a massive crimson palm print in the air—the high-level technique "Blazing Sun Palm" (Technique). The surrounding disciples gasped. "Senior Brother Zhang actually mastered the Blazing Sun Palm!" "This technique is extremely difficult to cultivate. Even inner sect disciples would struggle to withstand it!" Facing the overwhelming heat, Lin Xuan remained calm. His right hand gently traced an arc, blue spiritual light swirling around him like flowing water. "Tidal Wave Art (Technique), ninth move—Returning Tide Repels All Waves." The blue spiritual power transformed into surging tides that met the crimson palm print. Instead of a violent collision, the fiery energy was gently guided away and dissipated into the void. "How is this possible?!" Zhang Hu's eyes widened in shock. His most powerful attack had been neutralized so effortlessly. Lin Xuan stepped forward, his figure flickering as he appeared before Zhang Hu. A light tap on the shoulder sent Zhang Hu stumbling back several steps. "I concede," Zhang Hu said through gritted teeth, his face pale. The presiding elder nodded with satisfaction. "Victory goes to Lin Xuan." After the match, Lin Xuan returned to his humble dwelling. He took out the milky-white Ancient Jade Pendant, his expression contemplative. During today's battle, he had clearly seen flaws in Zhang Hu's technique through the jade pendant. This mysterious treasure seemed to grant him extraordinary perception. Just as he was pondering this, the jade pendant suddenly grew warm. A line of ancient text appeared in his mind: "Heavenly Codex of the 9 Rotations (Cultivation Method), First Rotation—Foundation Establishment." Lin Xuan's heart raced. This was actually a legendary top-tier cultivation method! According to the records, each rotation of the 9 Rotations Heavenly Codex would bring a qualitative leap in power. He took a deep breath and sat cross-legged, beginning to circulate the First Rotation method according to the instructions. An unprecedented surge of spiritual energy poured into his meridians, several times more potent than the Azure Cloud Sect's basic cultivation method. Every acupoint in his body seemed to come alive, greedily absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy. 3 days later, when Lin Xuan opened his eyes, 2 beams of essence light shot forth. He had not only stabilized his seventh level Qi Refinement cultivation but had also faintly touched the threshold of the eighth level. "This cultivation speed is truly astonishing," Lin Xuan murmured to himself. Suddenly, hurried knocking came from outside his door. "Brother Lin! Something terrible has happened! The sect has discovered a spirit stone vein in the back mountains, and now they're sending outer disciples to mine it. They've assigned you to the most dangerous mining area!" Lin Xuan's expression darkened. He knew this was no coincidence—someone must be targeting him behind the scenes. He put away the jade pendant, a cold gleam flashing in his eyes. Since they wanted to play, he would accompany them. The back mountain mining area was fraught with danger, but it was also a place of opportunity. With the 9 Rotations Heavenly Codex and the mysterious jade pendant, perhaps this was his chance to make a breakthrough. "Tell them I'll go immediately."
