Chapter 332 Five Cauldrons
Chapter 332 Five Cauldrons
With Zhang Chi's fighting style, he has always been straightforward and efficient in killing people.
But this Liu Wu is truly despicable. She previously physically assaulted Jin Ling'er and mocked and insulted her in every possible way. Although Zhang Chi did not intervene, he witnessed it all.
Now that he has the opportunity to turn the tables, he naturally wants to seek revenge.
To kill her, he also wants to destroy her spirit.
Liu Wu naturally refuses to accept this and angrily retorts, "If it weren't for Golden Cauldron helping you, I could have easily killed you with just one finger!"
"Even if Golden Cauldron helped me, your strength is still greater than mine. It only limits a small part of your abilities. You can't even defeat a Foundation Building cultivator. Doesn't that prove how incompetent you are?"
Liu Wu: "..."
She is very angry, but what Zhang Chi said makes sense.
Is she really a useless person?
As a Demon Lord, she was actually beaten by a human Foundation Building cultivator. Zhang Chi left her with numerous injuries, but she couldn't even touch him.
It's embarrassing, truly embarrassing.
At this moment, Liu Wu's face burns with pain, and the humiliation in her heart makes her unable to feel the physical pain.
She doesn't know that Zhang Chi has loaded a Gu Youyou brand cheat program and doesn't actually think she is so useless. For a moment, she can't accept it.
She even thought about plotting for the Immortal Cauldron and the position of Saintess!
Liu Wu can't face anyone now. She looks at Zhang Chi with hatred in her eyes.
She hates Zhang Chi to the extreme. If it weren't for Zhang Chi, she wouldn't have realized that she is a useless person.
Zhang Chi must die!
Currently restricted by Golden Cauldron, she is no match for Zhang Chi at all.
She can't beat him in a fight, and she can't win in an argument. Liu Wu is about to explode with anger.
"I curse you!"
Demonic Qi surges around Liu Wu, and Gu Youyou exclaims, "Quick, interrupt her! This is a curse technique."
Curse techniques do not fall within the scope of Divine Abilities and are not considered normal spells. The restrictions here may not even be effective.
The best way is to break her mouth before she completes the curse.
Curse techniques, also known as incantations, are neither good nor evil, neither yin nor yang. They do not belong to the five elements or the six realms. They are extraordinary and mysterious.
Casting a curse often requires paying an equivalent or even higher price, so once a curse takes shape, it is difficult to resist.
Zhang Chi listens well and with Gu Youyou's reminder, he shoots an arrow into Liu Wu's mouth, directly interrupting the curse.
Under normal circumstances, even if Liu Wu's physical body is destroyed, she can still use her Demonic Soul to complete her curse.
However, this is within the jurisdiction of the laws. The laws cannot control curse techniques, but without a mouth, Liu Wu cannot speak. Once the Demonic Soul's power leaves her body, it will be annihilated by the laws.
Liu Wu is extremely frustrated. She has never been so humiliated as a demon. The more she thinks about it, the angrier she gets. Demonic Qi expands and contracts around her, and finally explodes.
In a fit of anger, Liu Wu unexpectedly chose to self-destruct.
I'm really furious.
When Zhang Chi saw the fierce and resentful look in Liu Wu's eyes before her self-destruction, he knew it was not good. Without waiting for her to explode, Zhang Chi quickly picked up Jin Ling'er and retreated backwards.
By the time the shockwave of the explosion came, Zhang Chi had already run far away while holding Jin Ling'er.
Although they didn't completely leave the bombing area, they had a certain level of resistance.
However, he didn't need to take action. The Golden Cauldron shimmered with light and created an incredibly strong light shield, blocking all the impact from the explosion.
Liu Wu blew herself up, but didn't expect to even harm a single hair on Zhang Chi.
This referee, the Golden Cauldron, actually took action at the last moment.
It's fortunate that she didn't see this scene, otherwise she would have been furious again.
"Thank you, Immortal Cauldron, for saving us."
Zhang Chi knew that the Golden Cauldron had a spirit, so he quickly thanked it. By getting closer to it now, he might be able to gain the recognition of the Immortal Weapon later.
The fact that the Golden Cauldron was willing to help him deal with Liu Wu was already a sufficient display of goodwill.
After expressing his gratitude, the Golden Cauldron did not respond, but instead lowered a beam of light.
Seeing this, Zhang Chi was about to walk into it while holding Jin Ling'er.
Jin Ling'er quickly said, "Wait, put me down so I don't interfere with you."
This beam of light likely represented the recognition of the Immortal Weapon. If she followed him in, wouldn't it mean they would be competing for Zhang Chi's opportunity?
However, Zhang Chi said, "If you can gain the recognition of the Golden Cauldron, perhaps it can restore your meridians."
"Are you an idiot?"
Jin Ling'er was moved in her heart, but she also knew that it wouldn't be a good thing.
The Immortal Weapon was so proud, how could it allow mortals to push it around?
If Zhang Chi were to carry her in, it was very likely that neither of them would obtain the Immortal Weapon.
"Put me down!"
Jin Ling'er was very angry, but Zhang Chi said, "I know what you're worried about, but you can rest assured. The Immortal Cauldron has a spirit, and I don't think it would be angry about this matter.
If we really lose the opportunity because of this, I have no regrets."
After saying that, he walked into the beam of light while still holding Jin Ling'er.
Gu Youyou couldn't understand.
At first, when she saw Zhang Chi wanting to bring Jin Ling'er in with him, she thought he was just using a cliché, continuing to pretend and put on a show.
But the result was that Zhang Chi actually brought Jin Ling'er in. Zhang Chi must have truly fallen in love with Jin Ling'er to the point where he was willing to sacrifice even the Immortal Weapon for her.
But whether Zhang Chi's feelings were genuine or not, she really couldn't figure it out.
I was too hasty. I shouldn't have exposed that I can read minds back then.
But upon further thought, with Zhang Chi's intelligence, he would eventually discover this point.
Gu Youyou had no choice but to hide and enter a state of deep sleep, completely concealed within Zhang Chi's spiritual platform.
If Immortal Weapon were to recognize its master, it might detect her existence, so it was safer to hide and avoid detection.
As Zhang Chi entered the pillar of light, he instantly felt the world changing.
A scene appeared before his eyes, like a VR movie, leaving only the current scene in Zhang Chi's eyes, everything incredibly real.
He saw a vast and boundless land where a earth-shattering battle erupted.
True dragons coiled and soared hundreds of feet high, phoenixes took flight, their wings spanning thousands of miles.
"This is somewhat like the Dragon and Phoenix Tribulation in the Primordial Era!"
Zhang Chi had read and studied a lot over the years, and he had some understanding of the history of this world.
The ancient era was indeed the world of dragons and phoenixes, and the inheritance of the Dragon Race and the Phoenix Clan had never been severed until now, it was just that there were no true dragons and phoenixes in the world.
However, after the era of dragons and phoenixes, there were many developments that were different from the Primordial Era, and Zhang Chi didn't have the opportunity to see too much specific historical material, he only had a general understanding.
The scene before him was playing a historical documentary for Zhang Chi.
The battle between dragons and phoenixes caused the heavens to collapse and the earth to split open.
The continents scattered and drifted, the earth's energy became chaotic, causing the spiritual energy to become violent and savage.
The creatures on the ground suffered, and some lucky surviving beasts absorbed the violent spiritual energy, transforming into ferocious beasts.
The great battle between dragons and phoenixes brought about the end of the world, but the essence of the five elements in this world spontaneously gathered and gained spirituality, giving birth to the Five Great Saint Beasts, namely the Qilin, Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise.
The Five Great Saint Beasts each occupied a territory, guarding the earth's energy, allowing the qi of heaven and earth to return to clarity, thus, there were five continents in the world.
Afterwards, in order to maintain the stability of the five continents, the Five Great Saint Beasts each used their own power to forge the Five Cauldrons and placed them in the five continents.
Upon seeing this, Zhang Chi was also greatly shocked.
So, there were a total of five Immortal Weapons like the Golden Cauldron.
They were the Central Earth Qilin Cauldron, the Eastern Divine Wood Azure Dragon Cauldron, the Northern Black Water Black Tortoise Cauldron, the Southern Crimson Flame Vermilion Bird Cauldron, and the Western Holy Gold White Tiger Cauldron.
The Five Cauldrons were not ordinary Immortal Weapons, but rather world-guarding Immortal Weapons.
Therefore, the Five Cauldrons could not belong to anyone, they could only serve the heavens and the earth, protecting all things in the world.
In other words, Zhang Chi really did accidentally save the world this time.
If the White Tiger Cauldron fell into the hands of the Demon Race, the Western State would be completely in turmoil.
Although the five continents seemed divided, they were actually a whole.
If the metal element among the five elements became chaotic, problems would gradually arise in the other four elements as well.
After watching the documentary, the will of the Golden Cauldron also conveyed its intentions to Zhang Chi.
It was impossible for Zhang Chi to possess the Golden Cauldron, as the Golden Cauldron could not recognize anyone as its master.
However, Zhang Chi could obtain other benefits.
Golden Cauldron gave Zhang Chi two choices. One, he could obtain the Golden Cauldron Secret Realm, but at the same time, he could only stay in the Golden Cauldron Secret Realm.
He would become the guardian of the Golden Cauldron, and in return, the Golden Cauldron Secret Realm would belong to Zhang Chi.
Zhang Chi could not leave, but he could allow others to enter the Golden Cauldron Secret Realm. Moreover, he would be invincible in the Golden Cauldron Secret Realm because he could communicate with the Golden Cauldron and harness its power.
As long as they were not immortals, no one in the Golden Cauldron Secret Realm could be a match for the Golden Cauldron.
And in the Golden Cauldron Secret Realm, he could continue to cultivate, but at most, he could only reach the Dao Integration Realm.
Such conditions might be considered good for others.
Because here, it was not impossible to communicate with the outside world. If he was interested in a girl, he could bring her into the Secret Realm for some intimate moments. He would have more than enough power to be a local emperor in this Secret Realm.
However, Zhang Chi seemed hesitant and had always had an attitude of just living his life.
In reality, did he not have ambitions in his heart?
Coming to the Immortal Cultivation World, if he only cared about finding a place to hide and wait for death, then this trip would be in vain!
Of course, if the Golden Cauldron Secret Realm could cultivate immortality, he would not be opposed to staying here.
But the restriction of not being able to leave and the limitation on cultivation level were difficult to accept.
Of course, Golden Cauldron also gave Zhang Chi another choice.
He could leave the Golden Cauldron and at the same time receive a gift from the Golden Cauldron, such as bestowing him with Innate Golden Spirit Qi or giving him a top-notch golden treasure.
One option would help him cultivate, and the other would protect him on his path. This could be considered a great gain.
But after thinking about it, Zhang Chi realized that he didn't lack Innate Qi, and treasures were lifeless no matter how you put it.
"I can do without all of these, I only ask that the Immortal Cauldron help restore my lover's meridians."
What humans find difficult to accomplish, the Immortal Cauldron might be able to do, after all, Jin Ling'er's attributes are very compatible with the Immortal Cauldron.
She's just injured, that's all.
Upon hearing Zhang Chi's request, the Golden Cauldron fell silent.
After a moment, it finally responded to Zhang Chi.
"Your request is simple, you can make another one."
The Golden Cauldron is indeed a good big brother, very generous.
Since repairing Jin Ling'er's meridians is included, he won't be polite.
"Then please grant me some alchemical treasures!"
"Sure."
The light curtain in front of Zhang Chi dissipated, and he finally saw reality again.
He saw the Golden Cauldron still hanging high above, while Jin Ling'er was bathed in golden light, floating in mid-air.
Perhaps the Golden Cauldron was repairing her meridians.
Not being able to obtain the Immortal Cauldron is a regret, but gaining a wife on this journey is not a loss... (End of this chapter)
