Chapter 171: Shennong Cauldron Emerges

As Qin Yu's words fell, everyone in the arena was dumbfounded.

This Xuanyang Sect, having such confidence?

Merged Dao cultivators aren't even taken seriously?

The Star God Sect Master and the Great Sun God Sect Master exchanged a glance, somewhat uncertain; could it be that behind the Xuanyang Sect there truly is a supreme Dao lineage?

Immediately, divine sense swept over the entire Xuanyang Sect mountain gate.

Even the deep-seated restrictions were directly penetrated, without detecting any strong aura or fluctuation.

"Heh, turns out it's just putting on airs; if the Xuanyang Sect truly had a peerless expert holding the fort, would it need to suffer humiliation for ten thousand years at the hands of the Profound Nether Holy Land?"

"Last three breaths; if you don't hand it over, your Dao lineage will be destroyed."

The Star God Sect Master stepped forward slowly, eyelids slightly lifted, expression indifferent, looking down upon all beings.

But a strand of divine sense had already locked onto Qin Yu.

As long as he remains within the East Divine State, he cannot escape.

"Any old dogs spying on my opportunity, come out together." Qin Yu circulated spiritual energy throughout his body and shouted loudly.

Rolling sound waves directly swept across the heavens and earth.

Immediately, he threw out a flying boat, which slowly rose into the air.

He scanned the four directions.

Utterly unafraid.

At that moment, two figures emerged slowly from the void.

"Young friend, you're overconfident; I've already investigated—the Sword Sect and the Barbarian Tribe... have shown no movement; even if you called for help now, it would be too late."

One of them was the Merged Dao expert who had fled from Qingshi Jun earlier.

The Star God Sect Master's brows furrowed slightly; behind him, profound light burst forth, unfolding a star sea, and he grew wary.

This... where did another Merged Dao cultivator come from?

Could it be reinforcements from the Xuanyang Sect?

But just then, Qin Yu revealed a faint cold smile: "Since it's just you few, then... take them as offerings to the flag."

He knew that in the void, there were certainly other Dao lineage old-timers hiding.

But now, there's no time to continue delaying.

He still needed to prepare for returning to the Blue Star.

To pacify all potential dangers, at the very least... his physical body, in closed-door cultivation within the Xuanyang Sect, would be safe and free of mishaps.

Slaying six Merged Dao experts at once would shake even the great holy lands.

Even knowing it was a Phoenix inheritance, they would not dare act rashly.

"Cauldron, emerge!"

"Boom!"

At that moment, a terrifying power surged forth, as if flowing from the ancient river of time.

An ancient, simple bronze cauldron was sacrificed from Qin Yu's hand, transforming into a stream of light that stood upon the nine heavens.

An old man wearing a bamboo hat, resembling a common rural farmer, appeared quite ordinary.

"Just an artifact spirit; is that all you've got?"

"Capture him and bring him back to the sect!"

The Star God Sect Master revealed icy eyes, unwilling to prolong the delay; a not‑weak aura rippled around, for he feared drawing true old monsters.

Now, the Cangyuan Realm's rules are incomplete.

Even a United Dao expert could be suppressed by him; this time he brought forth the forefather's seal, fearing no one.

Merely an artifact spirit—he could suppress it with a flip of his hand.

"Boom!"

Several great suns rose, filling the sky with merging star‑fire, seeking to engulf the entire Xuanyang Sect.

"The young master has given an order."

"The invaders."

"Slay."

These light words echoed in the air.

The old farmer lightly tapped his right hand; the Shennong Cauldron stirred, emitting seven‑colored divine light that contained terrifying power, shattering all rules between heaven and earth.

"Peng!"

The Dharma forms manifested behind the two sects' Merged Dao cultivators shattered instantly, turning into fragments that drifted on the wind.

The bronze cauldron slowly began to rotate, striking the Star God Sect Master's body.

Flesh and blood shattered completely, leaving no physical body.

It then fell beside the Great Sun God Sect's Merged Dao supreme elder; myriad streams of light pierced his heart...

In the depths of his eyes, vitality continually ebbed away, death energy entwining.

At this moment, he was filled with regret.

If only he... were not so greedy, cooperating with the Profound Nether Holy Land, he might not have died here.

Secretly hunting Qin Yu might be the best approach.

All of this took but an instant, a mere three breaths; the six Merged Dao cultivators in the arena were utterly annihilated, collapsing in the void.

Then they were directly sucked into the cauldron; the ancient, simple bronze cauldron emitted a lustrous divine glow.

The six Merged Dao cultivators were directly refined on the spot.

Though the Dao power they contained was meager, for the Shennong Cauldron it was still quite good.

「Sect Leader! 」

「Supreme Elder! 」

The remaining Venerable Elders were dumbfounded, their pupils about to burst.

The six Merge Dao powerhouses were just easily dealt with?

It was as easy as crushing an ant with a finger.

What kind of cauldron is this?

Why have I never seen it before?

「Holy Artifact, this is definitely a holy artifact! 」

「Profound Yang Sect has obtained a great opportunity! 」

They tried to flee, but just then the old farmer struck again, his bamboo hat flying out, more than ten blood-stained heads soaring up.

In an instant, the sky above the Profound Yang Sect's mountain gate returned to tranquility.

The Nine Yang Ancient God within the cauldron naturally also witnessed this scene, the corner of his mouth twitching slightly.

「These people, why provoke anyone else, they had to provoke this little ancestor. 」

「This damn thing is a quasi-emperor-level imitation. 」

「If it weren't for the Great Emperor not existing, in the ancient great calamity, everything disappeared, I would suspect that behind this kid there is one. 」

「Moreover, this is only what has been displayed; how much more is hidden? 」

The Nine Yang Ancient God shook his head, the Dao lineage of the Cangyuan Realm, don't they even check the background…

Profound Yang Sect definitely has a problem.

He also observed these past two days.

Those few core elders who just broke through to the Venerable Realm, their talent is not weak, accumulating depth to erupt, in the future they could also assault the Dao Stage.

Moreover, each of them has some not insignificant means.

「Behind him, is there an imperial clan... or a longevity Dao lineage? 」

「I... really can escape? 」

The Nine Yang Ancient God revealed a bitter smile; a force that could produce a quasi-emperor-level imitation treasure for its descendants, even if placed in the primordial era, would be considered a hegemon.

He had a headache.

Continue secluded cultivation, condense divine sense, lest it scatter.

At this moment, everyone in the sky above Profound Yang Sect was shocked.

Before, Elder Mu, and the Floating Light Sect people, kept saying that behind Qin Yu there is an ancient power.

But Ancestor Yangtian and the others remained silent, for they knew Qin Yu's background all too well.

Lived in Profound Yang Sect for a full sixteen or seventeen years!

Was picked up by the Third Elder on a snowy day.

Moreover, after regaining consciousness and training, only about half a month's time.

How could he be the inheritor of an ancient great teaching?

At this moment, they also felt a bit dizzy.

It seems Qin Yu really is an inheritor who walked out of some ancient Dao lineage.

Otherwise, where did this terrifying bronze ancient cauldron come from?

Just the artifact spirit's strike, and it suppressed and killed the six Merge Dao powerhouses.

「Is this... one of the Young Master's trump cards? Even the Protector of the Way hasn't made a move? 」 Elder Mu's eyes deep held a fiery light, in his heart he placed his status lower.

Originally thought I was a Merge Dao cultivator, and also a stalk of Dao medicine, able to play an extremely important role in Profound Yang Sect.

But now it seems I'm utterly useless.

Does this Young Master-level heaven's pride lack Merge Dao powerhouses to follow?

Lack resources below the Dao stage?

However, it's just tempering oneself in Profound Yang Sect, there's some old affection, so I stayed.

Elder Mu respectfully stood behind Qin Yu, like a statue, not daring to speak casually.
