Chapter 875: Nine Cauldrons!

~8 min read 1,424 words

"So that's how it is!"

Floating in mid-air, looking down, and looking at the many characters engraved on the cauldron lid, Su Xuan whispered to himself.

Everything was clear.

No wonder Jiang Taigong would leave such characters, and no wonder he would choose to die and no longer seek the legendary immortal Dao.

With Jiang Taigong's strength, after knowing the method to break the Nine Provinces Barrier, he could of course choose to break the Nine Provinces Barrier, making heaven and earth revive. Once heaven and earth revived, the lifespan of living beings would be greatly increased. Even if Jiang Taigong did not become an immortal, he could still obtain an extension of his life.

This was not an incredible thing, but a fact.

In the "Huang Di's Inner Canon - Su Wen Chapter," there were relevant records, stating that "people in ancient times all lived to be over a hundred years old, and their movements did not decline."

Although the "ancient times" here referred to a period even older than the Huang Di "420."

But this was enough to show that in the past, because of the abundance of heaven and earth energy, the lifespan of mortals was also much longer.

Once Jiang Taigong broke the Nine Provinces Barrier and heaven and earth revived, although the heaven and earth energy would not reach the concentration of ancient times in a short time, the gradually reviving heaven and earth would still gradually change the constitution of living beings. And for powerhouses like Jiang Taigong who had already reached an unprecedented realm, the benefits would only be greater.

More importantly, if Jiang Taigong wanted to break the Nine Provinces Barrier, it was easier than for ordinary people.

Because the Nine Cauldrons cast by Emperor Yu in the past were just in the hands of the Zhou Dynasty at that time.

In the hands of the current Qin Guo, although there were also Nine Cauldrons, these Nine Cauldrons were incomplete.

In the past, King Wu of Qin died after lifting the Yongzhou Cauldron in Luoyang. After King Zhaoxiang of Qin succeeded to the throne, he sent troops to attack the Zhou royal family and seized all the Nine Cauldrons. But in the process of transporting the Nine Cauldrons to Xianyang, some accidents occurred.

The Yuzhou Cauldron accidentally fell into the Si River. Even though the Qin Guo sent people to try to salvage it, after it fell into the Si River, it disappeared. In other words, the Qin Guo only possessed eight of the Nine Cauldrons.

If the Nine Cauldrons corresponded to heaven's mandate.

The falling of the Yuzhou Cauldron represented that the Qin Guo's heaven's mandate was incomplete. Even if it unified the world, it would eventually be short-lived, only because the Nine Cauldrons were incomplete, and the true person of heaven's mandate came from the Si River.

In history, Liu Bang, who replaced the Qin Dynasty and established the Han Dynasty, was precisely the Liu Bang who had served as the pavilion chief of Si River County.

Of course, this was what happened in the original history.

In this era, since there was Su Xuan, Su Xuan naturally would not let such things happen.

Even if heaven's mandate was already destined, he would try to change this so-called heaven's mandate!

He would find the lost Yuzhou Cauldron sooner or later.

Not only because the complete Nine Cauldrons represented a complete heaven's mandate, but also because, if one wanted to break the Nine Provinces Barrier, one needed the important object of the Nine Cauldrons.

That's right, unlike Jiang Taigong.

Because Jiang Taigong saw the words left by Emperor Yu and knew that after the Nine Provinces Barrier was broken and heaven and earth revived, it would be a disaster for weak humans, so he would rather die here than choose to break the Nine Provinces Barrier.

But Su Xuan was different.

Since he could make heaven and earth revive and restore this world to the ancient era when immortals and gods came and went, he would of course not miss this opportunity.

However, according to what Emperor Yu said, if the Nine Provinces Barrier was broken, the banished world of mountains and seas would also return, and many primordial strange beasts would descend upon the earth again. They would use humans as food and slaughter all living beings, which would be a disaster for weak humans.

Therefore, even if he prepared to break the Nine Provinces Barrier, he must proceed step by step, slowly.

After seeing the method to break the Nine Provinces Barrier and knowing the reason for Jiang Taigong's happy death, Su Xuan looked at the sword stabbed into the cauldron lid again.

Xuanyuan Xia Yu Sword!

This sword was different from Did Chi You's sword; it was not cast from extraterrestrial meteorite iron, but like this Huang Di's Treasure Cauldron, it was cast from the copper of Shou Mountain. Its material came from this world, but apart from the material being the local material of this world, this sword had been blessed by many gods since its forging. Later, in the hands of the Huang Di, the Huang Di had defeated Did Chi You, and heaven's mandate returned to his body. After passing through several generations, it fell into the hands of Emperor Yu.

He didn't expect Emperor Yu to finally leave this sword here and put it together with the Huang Di's Treasure Cauldron.

"Is Did Chi You's remaining half-body in this cauldron?"

Su Xuan looked at the giant cauldron covered by the lid, his eyes flickering.

Because of that battle in Loulan, through Xiao Li's words, he thought that after arriving here, he would still need to have a life-and-death battle with Did Chi You's remaining half-body. The facts proved that Xiao Li guessed wrong, and Su Xuan also guessed wrong.

In the ancient era, the Huang Di, the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden, and others had indeed sealed Did Chi You's half-body here.

Because Did Chi You had slaughtered a million living beings and devoured the blood energy of all spirits, he had reached an unprecedented realm. Even the Huang Di of that time found it very difficult to completely kill him. And although the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden could eliminate Did Chi You, due to some selfishness, she did not do so in the end, but divided and buried him, sealing his body in two places respectively.

In the battle of Loulan, the incarnation of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden realized that Did Chi You was still obsessed after thousands of years and his demonic heart had not changed, so she finally made up her mind to eliminate Did Chi You.

Thus, she handed this task to Su Xuan.

Because she had a premonition that with Su Xuan's strength, he might be able to walk into the sealed Penglai immortal mountain.

But the fact was that since sealing Did Chi You in the past, the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden had never been to Loulan again, and she did not know that an Emperor Yu had appeared in later generations.

Emperor Yu, led by Yinglong who was still lingering in the human world at that time, came to Penglai, paid his respects to the Huang Di's Treasure Cauldron, and laid the foundation for casting the Nine Cauldrons. After the Nine Provinces seal appeared and Yinglong took many descendants of divine beings and primordial strange beasts and disappeared from this world, Emperor Yu came here again.

He looked at the sealed Did Chi You and finally made up his mind.

This world did not need the extraordinary.

Although Did Chi You was sealed, there would be a day when he would break the seal. If at that time, there were no powerhouses of the ancient era in the world, Did Chi You's existence might cause a monstrous disaster.

Thus, he used powerful force and finally completely wiped out the remnant soul Did Chi You left here.

In other words, Emperor Yu had long since excluded many hidden dangers.

There was no need for Su Xuan to deal with Did Chi You at all.

Staring quietly at the cauldron lid for a long time, Su Xuan reached out and grasped the Xuanyuan Xia Yu Sword stabbed into the cauldron lid.

As his palm landed on this sword, immediately, magnificent power swept out, incomparably majestic.

Xiao Yu, who was watching Su Xuan fly up from below, felt a huge mountain pressing down, and her body staggered for a while. ===== CHAPTER 877 =====
