Chapter 308: A Brand New Yuanlong Cauldron, The Five-Colored Divine Light Transforms

"Whew—finally, it lived up to expectations!"

Fang Longye held the re-refined cauldron in his palm, overcome with joy; the smile at the corners of his mouth had reached the point where it could no longer be concealed.

His joy did not lie in having obtained a Spirit Treasure at the peak of the high grade, but rather in the improvement of his own artifact-refining skills.

Although he had easily re-refined the Qingyang Cauldron to the peak of the high grade this time, it relied heavily on that fragment of the Nine Dragon Cauldron.

But regardless, he had successfully refined a Spirit Treasure at the peak of the high grade.

Furthermore, he himself had not been without progress; though not obvious, as the person involved, Fang Longye still felt it.

After a moment of joy, Fang Longye steadied his mind and examined the current Qingyang Cauldron.

"The changes are truly not small—"

He weighed the cauldron, which had changed its appearance greatly, in his hands again and again, and chuckled, "It seems you should also change your name—"

One could see that the current Qingyang Cauldron was now a tripod with a primitive design, containing the principle of the three giving birth to all things.

On the edges of both sides were arched upright handles, slightly flared outward, with ferocious dragon-shaped patterns biting the outer sides of the handles, their scales trembling, vivid and lifelike.

As for the surface of the cauldron, it was piled with bronze colors, with mysterious black patterns engraved upon it, twisting and folding.

It presented all kinds of dragon-shaped patterns.

Even though it had just been refined, the whole body was permeated with a sense of antiquity and weight.

It was very clear that this antiquity and weight must have been brought by that fragment of the Nine Dragon Cauldron.

The Nine Dragon Cauldron was originally a top-tier Innate Spiritual Treasure. Such a precious treasure, even if it were only a fragment, was of no small significance.

The current cauldron could be used for alchemy, refining treasures, and casting weapons; there was nothing it could not do.

It was no longer like before, just a furnace for alchemy that also refined treasures. Any kind of treasure could be put inside to be forged.

Just like the Eight Trigrams Furnace of Taishang Laojun.

Moreover, perhaps because it had melted a fragment of the Nine Dragon Cauldron, it still had a special effect in terms of improving the grade of treasures.

That was, any treasure produced from this cauldron would receive a tempering, and for dragon-kind creatures, there would be an additional special bonus out of thin air.

Of course, it had only melted a fragment of the Nine Dragon Cauldron, and it was not the Nine Dragon Cauldron reborn.

Naturally, it was not as overbearing as the Innate Spiritual Treasure Nine Dragon Cauldron; it did not have the characteristic where a treasure, after going through it, could only be used by dragon-kind creatures.

Other creatures could still use the various treasures produced by this precious cauldron, just without the special bonus that dragon-kind creatures would have.

Fang Longye stroked the dragon patterns on the current precious cauldron, suddenly chuckled, and said aloud, "I'll just call you 'Yuanlong Cauldron'—"

Hum! As soon as the words fell, the precious cauldron hummed incessantly, carrying a sense of joy; the body of the cauldron flashed, and then two primitive Daoyuan appeared.

They were naturally the two characters "Yuanlong," shining brightly.

By naming it after his own name, it was clear that Fang Longye valued the development of this Spirit Treasure very much.

He certainly valued it.

Just as mentioned before, the Nine Dragon Cauldron was a top-tier Innate Spiritual Treasure; even a single fragment had extraordinary qualities.

Otherwise, when Dayu refined the Nine Cauldrons, he would not have mobilized the immortals and gods of the three teachings, together with the elders of the Human Race, to turn the Honghuang upside down just to collect the various fragments of the Nine Dragon Cauldron.

In Fang Longye's view,

The brand-new precious cauldron in his hands, with the Nine Dragon Cauldron fragment as a foundation, had much greater development potential than the previous "Houde Seal."

One must know that the Human Nine Cauldrons were treasures of the highest order, and there was no lack of contribution from the Nine Dragon Cauldron fragments within them.

He did not ask for his cauldron to reach the prospects of the Human Nine Cauldrons; after all, he did not have the opportunities of the Human Nine Cauldrons.

But with the care of his own Golden Finger, he could at least achieve one-tenth of the Nine Cauldrons, right—

Of course, he named this precious cauldron "Yuanlong Cauldron," naturally not just for this one reason. And the other reason had to do with the treasure of enlightenment he was conceiving—however, it was not even a start yet!

This second reason was naturally hidden deep in his heart; it was not yet time to bring it up.

After playing with it for a while, Fang Longye put the precious cauldron, now named "Yuanlong Cauldron," into his Purple Mansion to nourish it.

He took out the "Five-Colored Universe Flag" and held it in his hand, intending to refine this set of Supreme Innate Spiritual Treasures first.

As his celebration cloud rolled, five small flags of different colors fell into the center, rotating and circling, dazzling and eye-catching, as his own power gradually permeated them.

This "Five-Colored Universe Flag," as a replica of the Innate Five Directions Five Colors Flags, was also permeated with the laws of the Five Elements.

It was just not like the Innate Five Directions Flags, where the laws were naturally formed, but came from Yunzhongzi, or rather, the personal insights of the great Hongyun.

Of course, at the level of the great Hongyun, his own principles had long been profound and lofty, and his various understandings were no different from the Great Dao of heaven and earth.

At least for Fang Longye, there was no difference between the two, and he did not need to worry about any so-called shackles.

Therefore, in the process of refining, facing the laws and principles displayed by the Spirit Treasure, he naturally absorbed and comprehended them tirelessly, like a sponge.

Of course, even so, he did not take everything in, but verified it with his own insights, selectively blending it with his own Great Dao.

For a time, with the refining of the "Five-Colored Universe Flag," his insights into the Five Elements rose step by step.

The improvement was very rapid.

However, this good thing slowed down later on as the refining of the Post-Heaven Divine Prohibitions deepened.

There was no other reason—these were Supreme Spirit Treasures, and five of them at that.

Without special opportunities, relying solely on himself.

With his current realm, being able to refine more than thirty Divine Prohibitions in a short time was already a result of being very compatible with the Spirit Treasure.

As the speed of refining the Divine Prohibitions slowed down, Fang Longye did not focus his attention on this anymore.

He sank the "Five-Colored Universe Flag" into the depths of his celebration cloud, letting his own celebration cloud slowly refine it, and turned to conceive the issue of refining his own treasure of enlightenment.

"What style should I choose?"

Fang Longye got up and paced in the cave chamber, his eyes full of contemplative light, his expression changing uncertainly.

At first, he had intended to cast a gate, a mysterious gate, a gate of eternal life, as his treasure of enlightenment.

But after thinking about it, he gave up.

The "Dragon Gate," the treasure of enlightenment for Yinglong Laozu, is nothing more than a large gate—if he were to choose a gate-style design, it would inevitably carry a suspicion of plagiarism.

At present, the point he is struggling with is whether to directly refine the "Two Instruments Divine Gourd," which has been growing alongside him, into his treasure of enlightenment.

Or, following the visions generated within his body by the "Yin and Yang Great Vehicle Dragon Transformation Scripture," to forge a furnace to serve as his treasure of enlightenment.

……

In the grotto chamber where he was refining treasures.

The furnace fire was blazing.

A bright, crimson light inverted and spilled out, illuminating the surroundings, misting a layer of color that looked like smoke and water ripples, reflecting on Fang Longye's uncertain face.

Clearly, he was still considering the choice of his treasure of enlightenment. When it comes to a treasure of enlightenment, one cannot be careless; he could not help but be cautious.

However,

Just at this moment, Fang Longye's heart suddenly stirred, and he immediately laughed out loud.

He instantly cast all his considerations to the back of his mind.

It must be said that ever since he achieved Reverse Innate, the "Five-Colored Divine Light" he cultivated had been dormant, trapped in a state of transformation.

Until today, it finally showed a reaction.

Thinking about it, it must be the opportunity brought about by refining the "Five-Colored Universe Flag" earlier, which finally allowed the transformation of this divine ability to reach fruition.

Without going out to specifically look for a place, he simply sat down on the ground, waiting for the revival of the "Five-Colored Divine Light."

Swish—gradually, sounds of inexplicable divine music rose from within his body, exceptionally clear.

That was the sound of the Xiantian Shengsheng radiance belonging to the Five Elements flowing and colliding within his internal organs, echoing endlessly all around like a tide.

These bursts of echoes connected into one, like bells and drums sounding together, possessing their own rhythm. Fang Longye sat upright on the ground, his breathing through his nostrils fine and long, barely audible.

Five-colored cloud vapor emerged from the top of his head, twisting and turning, grinding against each other, rolling and unfolding, as if substantial.

The five colors intertwined and haloed, permeating the void.

Ang—

Not knowing how much time had passed, Fang Longye suddenly opened his eyes, his pupils brilliant, and he tilted his head back to let out a dragon roar.

At the beginning, it was like water washing over mountain stones, with a tinkling sound; a moment later, it was like plucking harp strings, with large and small pearls falling onto a jade plate.

Then, it was like divine music from the nine heavens, carrying an inexplicable will, clanging and surging.

The sound rose higher and higher, growing louder and louder, stirring the Aura, the sound waves forming wheels, ripples appearing instantly.

Above, below, left, and right, there were echoes everywhere.

It was fortunate that this treasure-refining grotto chamber had its own Restriction.

A wind chime hanging at the entrance swayed gently, crisp and pleasant, but with a light touch, a vast and mighty power unfolded, covering the place where Fang Longye was, tightly and securely.

No matter how noisy it was inside, not a shred leaked out.

Otherwise,

It would have long since alarmed the entire Yizhu Dongtian.

For a long time, the sound stopped abruptly, with only the echoes lingering in the grotto chamber, refusing to dissipate.

"Duo!"

Fang Longye opened his eyes, and with a light shout, a divine light rushed out from behind him.

This divine light was distinctly five-colored and brilliantly bright, enough to rival the sun and moon; the principles of the Five Elements rotated perfectly, looking simple.

Yet it exhausted the ultimate truths of the world.

As soon as it appeared, it evolved into a scene of the creation of the world, the void saturated with overflowing light.

A greatness difficult to imagine was revealed in this divine light.

"Finally, the Innate is achieved!"

Fang Longye let out a breath, his brows and eyes full of irrepressible joy.

Previously, the divine ability of the Five-Colored Divine Light was only at the post-heaven level, not having entered the Innate.

But now, following his Reverse Innate and the achievement of his Xiantian Shengsheng body.

The Five-Colored Divine Light used his internal organs as a basis to evolve its Innate essence, and under the stimulation of his progress in the Five Elements, it finally managed to advance to the Innate.

The current Five-Colored Divine Light can at least be called the Innate Five-Colored Divine Light—of course, it certainly cannot compare to the "Five-Colored Divine Light" wielded by the great Kong Xuan.

Not to mention that he is currently only a Xiantian Shengsheng, even if he were to become a Xiantian Shengsheng one day, the "Five-Colored Divine Light" he cultivates would absolutely not reach the power in the hands of the great Kong Xuan.

The two are simply not on the same level.

That he can cultivate the Five-Colored Divine Light is because the great Kong Xuan derived the method based on his own divine ability.

Although it is said, "A teacher does not have to be more virtuous than the disciple, and a disciple does not have to be inferior to the teacher," and "Sometimes, a pirated version can force the original to its death."

But the essential difference between the two is too great!

The great Kong Xuan's "Five-Colored Divine Light" is transformed from a point of spiritual light from Chaos.

And his "Five-Colored Divine Light"?

It is merely evolved based on his own Innate essence.

A difference as vast as heaven and earth!

Of course,

Compared to the great one, that is asking for humiliation. But if one does not go looking for trouble and insists on comparing oneself to the "Grandmaster," the power is still quite considerable.

No, it should be described as a trump card.

It is no exaggeration to say that the now-Innate Five-Colored Divine Light is enough to deal with all post-heaven objects.

It would not be an overstatement to say, "Below the Innate, there is nothing it cannot brush away!"

Even an Innate Spiritual Treasure has a certain probability of being brushed down into his hands by his Five-Colored Divine Light.

Feeling the power of the current Five-Colored Divine Light, Fang Longye raised his eyebrows, and with a thought, he retracted the Five-Colored Divine Light behind him and left the grotto chamber.

……

Outside Zhengyang Hall.

A flying spring surged and splashed, its mist scattering through the air, grinding against the color of the stone with a coldness that seeped into the very bones.

Yang Chan sat facing the spring, her hair bun half-undone, looking up slightly; the auspicious clouds above her head were filled with radiant, colorful light, a sight that made one forget the mundane.

Dense, intricate seal script characters swirled within the auspicious clouds, spilling out and landing upon a green Jade Hairpin suspended in mid-air.

A smile remained on her face; after ruining several portions of divine materials and treasures, she had successfully refined a Superior Spiritual Treasure.

"It seems I do have some talent after all!"

She was completely oblivious to the fact that she had wasted several portions of top-tier divine materials, feeling quite smug and lacking any sense of self-awareness regarding the cost.

As for this hairpin, which witnessed the improvement of her skills, she naturally intended to refine it to her satisfaction for her own use.

This held more commemorative significance than her own Jade Hairpin, which was a Supreme Spiritual Treasure.

Since it came from her own hands, it was naturally much easier to refine than other Spirit Treasures.

Before long, wisps of power had refined the Jade Hairpin to a great extent. The patterns on the Jade Hairpin shifted from dim to bright, becoming vivid and lifelike.

Yet at this very moment, a streak of five-colored rainbow light suddenly whistled over like wind sweeping away clouds; the moment it arrived, it swept across the hairpin in mid-air.

Instantly, it vanished without a trace, and she lost her connection to this Spirit Treasure.

"Who?!"

Yang Chan let out a sharp cry, following the Aura to look not far away.

"So it's you, teasing me again~ I didn't expect you to actually know the Five-Colored Divine Light of the Peacock Great Wisdom King?"

Yang Chan rolled her eyes and said crossly, "Give me back my hairpin!"

She saw Fang Longye walking over with a smile on his face.

He strode forward with vigor, the Five-Colored Divine Light weaving behind him in layers and circles, as if folded into an endless, multicolored world.

And the Jade Hairpin Spirit Treasure that Yang Chan had painstakingly refined was spinning incessantly within the Five-Colored Divine Light behind him, its treasure light dimmed.

No matter how Yang Chan tried to communicate or connect with it, even as Fang Longye arrived right before her, she could not sense it in the slightest.

"I won't give it back, unless you kiss me!"

Having tested his divine ability, Fang Longye was in a great mood; looking at her beautiful face, he acted like a rogue.

Yang Chan's face flushed red, and she spat, saying, "Pah! Even in someone else's Grotto-Heaven, you're still so improper!"

"Does that mean if we weren't in someone else's Grotto-Heaven, I could be improper in private?"

"Ahhh~" Yang Chan knew well that in a Grotto-Heaven, every word and action could not be hidden from the master of the Grotto-Heaven, Yunzhongzi, and she could not help but feel ashamed and furious to the point of madness.

She unleashed the Lotus Lantern, its flames blazing fiercely as she burned toward Fang Longye, wanting to shut that foul mouth of his.

"Have you forgotten that I know the Five-Colored Divine Light?"

Fang Longye also wanted to test how his current Five-Colored Divine Light would perform against an Innate Spiritual Treasure.

Therefore,

He made no other moves, simply striking out a beam of Five-Colored Divine Light, brushing it toward the Lotus Lantern above Yang Chan's head~
