Chapter 1009: The Tripod Appears

Chenxi Palace.

The hibiscus tent is warm.

Yin Qi and Nuwa embrace, feeling each other's warmth and heartbeat.

Yin Qi asks, "Nuwa, there is something I want to ask you."

Nuwa says lazily, "Speak."

Yin Qi says, "It is said that back then, when Gonggong broke Mount Buzhou and the waters of the Nine Heavens Milky Way poured down, it was you who used the Tripod to refine the five-colored stones to mend the sky, right?"

Nuwa: "Mm!"

Yin Qi: "Then what about the Tripod?"

Nuwa says, "The Tripod did not belong to me; it was temporarily bestowed upon me by the Dao Ancestor to mend the sky. After the mending was finished, the Tripod was taken back by the Dao Ancestor. Yin Lang, why do you ask about this?"

Innate Spiritual Treasures are limited in number, totaling only a few: the Taiji Diagram, Pangu Banner, Chaos Bell, Immortal Execution Sword, Tripod, and God-Slaying Spear; all have clear owners, as is known throughout the Primordial Continent.

Among these, the Tripod is the most special, because it can reverse the Innate.

For example, if an Acquired Spiritual Object is put inside and refined, it becomes an Innate Spiritual Object.

If it is an Acquired Spirit Treasure, it can even be transformed into an Innate Spiritual Treasure.

This is defying Heaven.

In reality, in terms of power, an Innate Spiritual Treasure is not necessarily stronger than an Acquired Spirit Treasure.

But an Innate Spiritual Treasure can be used to comprehend the Dao and to perform Corpse Severing.

This is something Acquired Spirit Treasures do not possess.

What Nuwa said is exactly what Yin Qi is puzzled about.

The Tripod belonged to the Dao Ancestor and was only bestowed upon Nuwa to mend the sky back then; how could it fall into the hands of Di Yu, and even be divided into nine by Di Yu to become the Nine Tripods that suppress the Nine Provinces?

The Tripod is an Innate Supreme Treasure; with Di Yu's cultivation, logically speaking, he should not have been able to do that.

Regarding Nuwa, Yin Qi does not hide anything and says solemnly, "Three days ago at the Heaven-worshipping ceremony, I suddenly received a sound transmission left by Di Yu tens of thousands of years ago. He told me that by uniting the nine tripods, one can form the Tripod."

"Unite the nine tripods to form the Tripod!"

Nuwa suddenly props up her body, and as the brocade quilt slips down, she is unaware that her beautiful figure is exposed.

She says in a startled voice, "How is this possible! The Tripod belonged to the Dao Ancestor; even during the treasure distribution at Zixiao Palace back then, he was unwilling to bring it out. How could it have been obtained by Di Yu?

Also, how could Di Yu have left a message for you tens of thousands of years ago?

Even with my abilities, I cannot calculate your existence and future; how did he manage to do it?"

The Di Yu of that time was only at the Quasi-Saint Mid-Stage.

Whether it was calculating Yin Qi's existence or obtaining the Tripod, it is all a fantasy.

Yin Qi shakes his head and says, "This is also where I am puzzled, which is why I came to find you to ask about the Tripod, and whether it is possible that the Dao Ancestor secretly bestowed it upon Di Yu?"

Nuwa frowns, thinking as she says, "It shouldn't be very likely. Since the Joining the Dao, Zixiao Palace has been hidden within Chaos; without a summons, even we Sages cannot find Zixiao Palace.

Furthermore, 'unite the nine tripods to form the Tripod' does not necessarily mean the Tripod.

Perhaps Di Yu meant something else."

Yin Qi shakes his head and says, "No. Di Yu explicitly stated that he left an Innate Supreme Treasure for me, which is the Tripod. Forget it, if I can't figure it out, I won't think about it. I will go see if uniting the nine tripods can truly achieve the Tripod.

If it really is the Tripod, I will have great use for it.

By using the Tripod to suppress the Forbidden Air Array, even a Quasi-Saint would not be able to break through space on the Primordial Continent."

Originally, Yin Qi had wanted to use the Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure Panlong Staff to suppress it.

But the Panlong Staff cannot compare to the Tripod.

Nuwa asks in surprise, "Forbidden Air Array?"

"Mm, the Forbidden Air Array..."

Next, Yin Qi briefly explains the Forbidden Air Array and his plans.

Nuwa looks at Yin Qi in shock.

What a grand scheme!

But if it can truly be accomplished, then the rule of the Great Shang Celestial Dynasty will be even more stable. If even Quasi-Saints cannot break through space, wouldn't the Good Corpses of Laozi, Yuanshi, Jieyin, and Zhunti be effectively trapped on the Primordial Continent?

It is vast and boundless; at their speed, it would take a hundred years just to fly out of the Primordial Continent.

If it were Yuanshi Tianzun, Kunlun is located in the central region of the Primordial Continent, so it would take at least three hundred years to fly out of the Primordial Continent.

If it takes several hundred years just to fly out of the Primordial Continent, even with internal and external coordination, the influence of the Ren Sect, Chan Sect, Buddhism, and the Sea of Blood would be extremely limited, and they would be unable to stir up any trouble.

Nuwa has already imagined it.

Once the Forbidden Air Array is activated, Laozi and the others will surely be furious and enraged.

"You are so bad, I like it so much. Tee-hee!"

Nuwa cannot help but giggle.

Back then, she was often bullied by Laozi and the others; being able to see them suffer a setback next, she is naturally overjoyed.

………

Over the next few days.

Please... you.... bookmark 6... 9... novel....!

Yin Qi quietly goes to the Jiuzhou Marquis Mansion and takes away the Nine Tripods.

To avoid damaging the suppression array of the Human Ancestral Land, he had long ago specifically had the immortals produce nine Post-Heaven Supreme Treasure-grade tripods to replace the Nine Tripods as the array base.

He has just returned to Zhaoge when he receives news that Zhenyuanzi and the Queen Mother of the West have both announced the closing of their mountain gates and have activated their protective arrays.

Of the six Quasi-Saints that the immortals were monitoring, three have fled into the Primordial Continent, abandoning the sects they founded; the other three have gone to Shouyang Mountain, Kunlun Mountain, and Lingshan respectively, presumably to defect to the three sects.

Clearly, regarding the situation of the Great Calamity mentioned by Tongtian Jiaozhu, they are more willing to believe the Anti-Shang Alliance.

It is just that the lineup of the Anti-Shang Alliance is too luxurious.

Below the Saints, all are ants.

This is the truth.

No matter how strong you, Di Qi, are, and no matter how vast your Great Shang Celestial Dynasty is, you cannot withstand a single slap from a Saint.

Inner World.

Nine large Tripods were lined up in front of Yin Qi.

These nine Tripods were archaic in style, their entire bodies carved with many primitive patterns, some of early people farming and hunting, others of war; it was impossible to connect them with the legendary Qiankun Tripod.

"This is the Qiankun Tripod!?"

Nuwa's beautiful eyes lit up, and she stepped forward to stroke the nine Tripods one by one.

"Whether it is or not, you will know once you try."

Yin Qi smiled slightly.

Then, his expression turned solemn, and with a wave of his long sleeves, the nine Tripods soared into the air; as Yin Qi continuously poured Chaos Power into them, the nine Tripods slowly bloomed with brilliant, chaos-colored divine light.

Amidst the gorgeous chaos-colored divine light, the nine Tripods began to crack, unexpectedly shedding pieces and revealing the profound Dao Text upon them, as if they were being refined a hundred times to reveal their true nature.

As the outer layer fell away, the nine Tripods radiated a rich Dao aura; they were actually each a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure!

Swish! Swish!

The nine Tripods shared the same root and origin, naturally attracting one another.

Without needing Yin Qi to urge them, they quickly rotated around each other, the distance between them growing smaller and smaller, until they finally collided with a boom, bursting forth with such brilliant Immortal Light that it nearly blinded Yin Qi.

In the center of the brilliant Immortal Light appeared an archaic and heavy Tripod, its entire body covered in profound Dao Text, with the two Dao Text characters "Qiankun" upon it.

The Qiankun Tripod, it is done!

"The Qiankun Tripod, this is indeed the Qiankun Tripod!"

Nuwa cried out in joy.

She had used the Qiankun Tripod when mending Heaven back then, so she could naturally recognize it.

Had other Saints not been present back then, she would have wanted to use the Qiankun Tripod to refine more Innate Spiritual Treasures for herself. (End of chapter)
