Undying Life

Chapter 943: Chapter 941: The Earth Cauldron

The Trapped Dragon Formation extended from the heavens to the earth, attracting numerous powerful onlookers, with more and more strong cultivators arriving from all directions. They stopped outside the grand formation.

"Is this a feng shui formation? How can there be such a formation?" an uninformed onlooker asked.

"Because inside is Nuwa's relic, the Qiankun Cauldron!" replied a seasoned expert.

"The Qiankun Cauldron? The Qiankun Cauldron is in there?"

"That's right. The news has been out for a while. I was delayed by some matters, or I might have arrived earlier. If I had gotten here sooner, I might have been able to compete with the other powerhouses for the Qiankun Cauldron," the expert said.

"Delayed by some matters? With your speed? Stop flattering yourself. You must have just arrived after flying here non-stop!" another person teased.

"Believe what you want!" the expert blushed, retorting hastily.

"Well, I want to go in!" the first person declared immediately.

"Go in? Forget it! Even an Ancient Immortal tried earlier and couldn't break the formation! Just wait. After the battle inside, the Qiankun Cauldron will eventually come out, and you might have a chance then!"

Outside the Trapped Dragon Formation, more and more powerful cultivators gathered, as this focal point was too compelling to ignore.

Inside, the leader of the Purple Cloud Sect abandoned using secret methods to resist the yellow mist, allowing it to envelop him. He transformed into a yellow dragon, merging with Sima Yuan's giant yellow dragon.

With the leader's addition, Sima Yuan felt significantly better, able to control the dragon more effectively. Although still a bit awkward, he managed to maintain control.

"Roar～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～!"

The yellow dragon roared and clawed at Burning Lamp.

Burning Lamp, sitting cross-legged with a green lantern above his head, was fully focused on stabilizing his Ancestral Immortal realm.

While stabilizing his realm, Burning Lamp was filled with sorrow. How could he be so unlucky? The Ancestral Immortal realm? Historically, no one had ever fallen from the Ancestral Immortal realm unless through reincarnation.

But his realm was unstable, teetering on the brink of collapse. Oh heavens, he had endured for hundreds of thousands of years for this realm! What had he done to deserve this?

After some effort, Burning Lamp finally managed to stop the decline, though he could only achieve a balance between 'stabilizing' and 'collapsing'. If he stopped stabilizing, he would immediately fall back to the Ancient Immortal realm. But at least halting the decline was a good sign. He continued to stabilize.

"Boom～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～!"

A loud explosion echoed as a dragon claw struck Burning Lamp's protective barrier.

The flame on the green lantern flickered violently, as if about to extinguish.

Burning Lamp: "@#￥%...&"

Burning Lamp cursed Sima Yuan bitterly in his heart.

"Boom～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～!"

Another dragon claw struck. Under the terrifying impact, the void trembled, and the green lantern's barrier finally gave way. The lantern extinguished, and the powerful shield shattered, with the residual force rushing towards Burning Lamp. He countered with a palm strike.

A red stream shot towards the yellow dragon, creating a deafening sound.

Burning Lamp's palm strike repelled the yellow dragon, demonstrating the might of an Ancestral Immortal once more.

"Buzz～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～!"

After repelling the yellow dragon, Burning Lamp's body trembled. Suddenly, he looked up at the sky.

"No～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～!"

Burning Lamp cried out in despair. He had fallen back to the Ancient Immortal realm. After all his efforts, he was finally reduced to his previous state.

The hard-earned achievements of hundreds of thousands of years were reverted to their original state in one move, and Burning Lamp lamented this bitterly to the heavens.

Sima Yuan, not understanding what had happened, was enraged after being repelled by Burning Lamp's palm strike. He charged madly at Burning Lamp again.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" ... Under the renewed assault, Burning Lamp was once again suppressed by the Yellow Dragon. As a peak Ancient Immortal, he could not mobilize the power of the heavenly way, putting him at a significant disadvantage compared to an Ancestral Immortal.

However, the intense combativeness in Burning Lamp was ignited. Having fallen from the Ancestral Immortal realm, he was bent on revenge, launching rapid attacks despite being suppressed.

Sima Yuan felt a brief joy at suppressing Burning Lamp but soon noticed something was amiss. The Yellow Dragon was becoming increasingly difficult to control and felt more and more sluggish.

The real issue was even more shocking: Sima Yuan noticed that the essence of the Yellow Dragon was leaking continuously! How could this be? The essence was leaking?

As the Yellow Dragon weakened, Burning Lamp's counterattacks seemed to grow stronger.

Finally, as Sima Yuan fought Burning Lamp to a standstill, he realized the problem.

The Trapped Dragon Formation was incomplete. Who had made a mistake?

"Roar～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～!"

The enraged Yellow Dragon roared to the heavens. Sima Yuan swore that once this was over, he would find the person responsible for the mistake and punish them severely.

After battling Burning Lamp for a while longer...

"Boom～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～!"

The Yellow Dragon suddenly exploded.

Outside, the massive formation also collapsed abruptly, disappearing completely.

"Hurry, the feng shui formation is broken! Let's go in!"

"Quick, get in there before the Qiankun Cauldron escapes!"

"No one is going to take it from me!"

... Numerous powerhouses rushed inward.

With the collapse of the Yellow Dragon, Sima Yuan and the leader of the Purple Cloud Sect were exposed once more. Burning Lamp glared at the two culprits with fury.

As many powerhouses rushed into the area, the unconscious experts began to wake up. Many Ancient Immortals opened their eyes, each looking angrily at the three in the center, particularly at Sima Yuan.

Sima Yuan's journey of misfortune had truly begun—

Meanwhile, in the valley where Zhong Shan was hiding, inside the Qiankun Cauldron...

Zhong Shan was entangled with two soft bodies. Sensations from their skin contact flooded into Zhong Shan's mind.

"Hu!"

"Hu!"

"Mmm～～～～～～ Mmm～～～～～～～"

The soft gasps filled Zhong Shan's ears. The three were entirely enveloped in a peach-colored energy.

The peach-colored energy surged into Zhong Shan's body, heading straight for the Red Luan Lotus at his brow.

This energy, more dominating than any before, was overwhelming even for Zhong Shan's Red Luan Lotus.

In a state of half-consciousness, Zhong Shan entered a state of intoxication. In this state, he felt his clothes being slowly torn away and his body uncontrollably reacting.

Two soft bodies sat in his lap, and Zhong Shan's body instinctively began to perform actions befitting the situation.

In a dreamlike trance, Zhong Shan seemed to hear a loud, thunderous crash. Amidst the euphoria and fervor, he envisioned a massive green mountain shooting skyward, a completely green peak piercing the clouds and standing tall between heaven and earth!

The imposing green mountain rose, accompanied by a thunderous roar that reverberated in Zhong Shan's mind.

Green mountain? The rise of a green mountain?

As the green mountain ascended, Zhong Shan seemed to hear a bone-meltingly sweet moan.

"Mmm～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～!"

With that moan, Zhong Shan's body seemed to resonate with a similar thunderous sound, as if breaking through a bottleneck, filling him with an unprecedented sense of pleasure! His movements became even more intense.

Mountain is Gen!

"Body of the Gen Cauldron?" In his dazed state, this phrase inexplicably surfaced in Zhong Shan's mind!

Completely driven by instinct, Zhong Shan seemed utterly engrossed. Perhaps, after this, the only memory left in Zhong Shan's mind would be that vague and boundless joy.

He didn't know how long it took, but gradually, Zhong Shan's consciousness began to clear again. The first thing he perceived was the Red Luan Lotus at his brow.

The lotus now had some peach-colored stamens at its core. The stem below had grown sturdier, and a clear, pool-like liquid surrounded the Red Luan Lotus.

Seeing this, Zhong Shan instinctively recalled a saying: "The ninth level of the Red Luan Heavenly Scripture, the emergence of the lotus pool, the manifestation of the heavenly way!"

The ninth level of the Red Luan Heavenly Scripture? The manifestation of the heavenly way?

The peach-colored energy... Zhong Shan sensed that with his urging, the Red Luan Mist had transformed, no longer the same as before but instead taking on a peach-colored hue.

Peach-colored? Isn't this the same energy from inside the Qiankun Cauldron?

It was as if a blessing had dawned on him, and Zhong Shan suddenly visualized a giant snake within the peach-colored energy. The giant snake slowly expelled the peach-colored energy from its body, and then its entire form radiated golden light. Instantly, the heavens filled with auspicious signs, endless rays of light, and celestial creatures danced in the sky.

Had it attained sainthood?

The snake's nature was inherently sensual, and by expelling this nature, the giant snake achieved sainthood. A giant snake? A saint? Nuwa?

The peach-colored energy was the expelled sensual nature of Nuwa? In an instant, Zhong Shan understood. Only the expelled sensual nature of a saint could be more domineering than the Red Luan Mist. The Red Luan Mist had now completely evolved into this peach-colored energy. It was a brand new Red Luan Mist!

Zhong Shan's consciousness became clearer, and he also felt his physical condition. His injuries seemed to be completely healed, and his cultivation had broken through the bottleneck, reaching the Great Immortal realm!

Great Immortal, Second Heaven!

Even his Demonic Body Tempering technique had mysteriously advanced two levels, reaching the ninth level!

Slowly opening his eyes, Zhong Shan found himself lying in the giant cauldron, surrounded by a large amount of peach-colored energy.

Zhong Shan was suddenly shocked—he had broken through? How had he broken through? Suddenly, the hazy memories from his unconscious state rushed back into his mind.

With a bitter smile, Zhong Shan looked up, unsure how to describe his current feelings.

Meanwhile, outside the Qiankun Cauldron, two stunning women stood—Saint King Taichu and Princess Nine-Tails. Their hair was damp with sweat, and they wore the same expression, biting their lips, their brows furrowed, and their chests heaving as they stared at the Qiankun Cauldron. Their expressions were indescribable, but regardless of what they felt, the expressions on their faces carried an inherent touch of allure typical of the fox clan.
