Chapter 1540: The Nine Cauldrons Gather (Second Update, Seeking Everything)

At this moment, the eight large cauldrons within his Consciousness Sea began to tremble slightly.

Clearly, this was the final one of the Nine Cauldrons—the Black Water Cauldron.

The Black Water Cauldron could neutralize Water Element energy, and coupled with its suppression power and a Special Forbidden Array, it indeed had a significant effect on maintaining the stability of the Four Seas Sea Eye.

Zhulong did not take the Black Water Cauldron, likely for three reasons.

First, he could not spare the time.

Second, given Zhulong's standards, he looked down on the Black Water Cauldron somewhat.

Third, if the Sea Eye suddenly erupted during the process of extracting the Black Water Cauldron, he would definitely incur a massive amount of Karma if he fled, but if he did not flee, Li Zhangsheng would never let such an opportunity slip by.

Thus, even knowing this was aiding an enemy, Zhulong still abandoned the Black Water Cauldron, ultimately benefiting Li Zhangsheng.

Li Zhangsheng circled it once, and with the help of the River Chart and Luo Scroll, he quickly analyzed the operating principles and flaws of the Special Forbidden Array, eventually conceiving the best method to break the array.

To avoid an eruption of the Sea Eye, Li Zhangsheng decided to prioritize stability, dismantling the Special Forbidden Array step by step until he finally seized the Black Water Cauldron.

Besides this, the Four Seas Dragon Kings were also standing by at all times; once there was any sign of the Sea Eye erupting, they would suppress it at the first opportunity.

After half a day passed, with the assistance of the River Chart and Luo Scroll, Li Zhangsheng successfully dismantled the special Restriction, and the Sea Eye was not affected in the slightest.

The Black Water Cauldron no longer drifted; Li Zhangsheng reached out and beckoned, and the Black Water Cauldron automatically fell into his hand, being easily refined by him.

The next moment, Li Zhangsheng released the other eight large cauldrons.

In an instant, the Nine Cauldrons hung in the air, forming a circle above and beginning to spin rapidly.

During this process, countless Mysterious Yellow Merit Qi linked the Nine Cauldrons together, making the connection between them instantly solid and unbreakable, their momentum climbing steadily.

As the famous Strange Treasure of the Heavenly Emperor, the Nine Cauldrons had suppressed Jiuzhou for years and made outstanding contributions to the stability of the continent, which also earned them a large amount of Merit Profound Yellow Qi.

However, after being distributed among the Nine Cauldrons, this Merit Profound Yellow Qi did not make the Nine Cauldrons into Merit Spirit Treasures.

Judging from the feedback of his Mental Power, the energy fluctuations generated by the connection of the Nine Cauldrons were still at the stage of Supreme Langhuan Treasure, but like the God-Slaying Spear and the Heavenly Pillar, they had already reached the pinnacle of Supreme Langhuan Treasure.

It was unclear whether they were unable to transcend or if it was due to their own quality, as each large cauldron was only at the Zifu Qizhen level.

Li Zhangsheng pondered for a moment, then waved his right hand, and nine yellow light bands flew out, rapidly merging into the nine large cauldrons.

This was naturally the Merit Profound Yellow Qi; Li Zhangsheng did this mainly to see if he could bring all the Nine Cauldrons to the Merit Spirit Treasure stage, which might potentially push the Nine Cauldrons a step further.

After one portion of Mending Heaven Merit was integrated, the Nine Cauldrons began to hum in unison, followed by beams of light shooting out from the mouths of the cauldrons, which eventually merged into one to form a map.

At first glance, Li Zhangsheng felt it was very familiar, because this was the land map of the Fairy World, except that on this map, there was a light point that flickered from time to time, and he did not know what it represented.

In any case, Li Zhangsheng could be certain that this light point did not represent him, as he was still at the Four Seas Sea Eye, while this map only contained the contents of the land.

"It is very likely related to the Heavenly Emperor!"

Li Zhangsheng could not help but think to himself; as an ancient emperor, the Heavenly Emperor's strength might seem inferior to the Heavenly Emperor, but his contribution to the Fairy World was immense, and at his peak, he was the co-ruler of the human race.

Back then, when floods were rampant and the remaining fierce beasts took advantage of the chaos to ravage the land of Jiuzhou, it was ultimately the Heavenly Emperor who led the human race out of the predicament, resolving the floods while also slaying a large number of fierce beasts ravaging Jiuzhou, and finally refining the Nine Cauldrons to suppress the land of Jiuzhou.

The Heavenly Emperor was able to suppress and lead other emperors, so he was likely the strongest at the time, but after so many years, no one had ever heard of anyone obtaining the inheritance of the Heavenly Emperor.

Who could have imagined that gathering the Nine Cauldrons would reveal such a secret? However, the difficulty of gathering the Nine Cauldrons was immense, and Li Zhangsheng only achieved it after unifying the Heavenly Realm and the human world.

There was no help for it; ever since the Heavenly Emperor fell, without the Heavenly Emperor's restraint, the Nine Cauldrons were carved up by various Local Powers, and it was only now that Li Zhangsheng had gathered them that he discovered this secret.

"I will leave this place to the four Dragon Kings for the time being!"

Li Zhangsheng stayed for a while, and after confirming there was no other loot worth his attention, he handed the task of suppressing the Four Seas Sea Eye to the Four Seas Dragon Kings.

The Four Seas Dragon Kings immediately became miserable; although suppressing the Four Seas Sea Eye provided a steady stream of merit, it was a bitter chore, and in short, it was far different from living in luxury in the Dragon Palace.

At this time, the North Sea Dragon King suddenly asked: "Your Majesty, may I have my son Ao Run come to replace me?"

Among the distributions of the Huangzhong Li, the North Sea Dragon King had obtained one, which he took back and gave to Ao Run to consume, ultimately allowing Ao Run to successfully break through to the Emperor Rank.

As for the other consumer of the Huangzhong Li, their luck was poor, ultimately leading to a failed breakthrough.

In this way, if Zhulong was not counted, the Dragon Clan still possessed five Emperor Rank members, which could be said to have an overwhelming advantage over the Phoenix Clan and the Qilin Clan.

"Fine!"

Li Zhangsheng did not refuse; since Ao Run had already advanced to the Emperor Rank, he possessed the ability to suppress the Four Seas Sea Eye.

Besides the Four Seas Sea Eye, there were many small sea eyes nearby; ordinary members of the Dragon Clan could help suppress these, and with the foundation of the Four Seas Dragon Clan, it was not difficult to summon a group of dragons.

To avoid Zhulong returning, Li Zhangsheng specially built a Teleportation Array nearby and set up a Large Forbidden Array.

Li Zhangsheng did not immediately explore the light point on the map, but instead returned directly to the Heavenly Court, preparing to digest the gains from this trip.

On this outing, Li Zhangsheng had successively slain the Ancestral Phoenix, the Blood Emperor, the Thunder Emperor, four Emperor Rank Phoenix Clan members, and four Emperor Rank Dragon Clan members, along with a number of Phoenix and Dragon clansmen of other ranks, which could be called a complete victory.

The only dissatisfaction was that the Human Emperor and Zhulong escaped; this was also something that could not be helped, as unless one was prepared in advance, it was indeed very difficult to kill them.

In the Secret Realm, Li Zhangsheng immediately began to fuse the Seeking Dao Jade Pendant.

During the process of fusing the Seeking Dao Jade Pendant and the fragments, Li Zhangsheng began to check his loot, among which the Ancestral Phoenix, the Blood Emperor, and the Thunder Emperor were the most significant, and the rest would not be listed one by one.

Among them, the Ancestral Phoenix also contributed two Supreme Langhuan Treasures, both of which were inheritance treasures of the Phoenix Clan; the first was a treasure that could refine the Spirit Essence of the Phoenix Clan—well, the one obtained from the Phoenix Emperor—so its importance to the Phoenix Clan could be imagined.

The other was a five-colored feather, over a meter long; this feather was the companion Strange Treasure of the Ancestral Phoenix, which could allow the Ancestral Phoenix to possess the power of the five elements and the ability to release the Five-Colored Divine Light, with the only flaw being that only the Ancestral Phoenix could activate it.
