Han Shuo felt the world spinning around him. Dizzy and disoriented, he struggled to regain his footing.
When he looked up, Han Shuo suddenly discovered that he was inside an artifact. The top of his head was filled with abstruse and mysterious runes. Those runes were glistening with bloody radiance and wriggling as though they were alive.
Beneath his feet was a greenish-brown ground. The ground was very uneven and hard to the touch.
Incomparably dense mystical yin aura filled the surroundings. The amount of mystical yin aura here far exceeded Han Shuo's imagination. It lingered around him like a faint mist and did not disperse. It could be directly inhaled into one's heart and lungs as one breathed. Han Shuo believed that if he were to cultivate in such a place, the speed at which he could accumulate demonic yuan would increase by a hundredfold, or even faster!
With a heart full of astonishment, Han Shuo continuously sized up his surroundings. He raised his head and discovered that there was a vast space above his head. Enormous shadows were hovering in the vast space.
With a thought, Han Shuo was shocked to discover that the shadows hovering in the distance above his head were the dozen or so mystical demons hovering at the entrance of the cave.
"Since when did those mystical demons become so huge?" Han Shuo was greatly astonished. Soon after, he had an idea. His body slightly shook as he used his consciousness to sense the surrounding situation even more meticulously.
"Sure enough, my body has shrunk. It seems that I have been pulled inside by some artifact. It's not those mystical demons that have become bigger. It seems that I have shrunk! "Han Shuo cried out in surprise as he sensed the changes in his surroundings with his consciousness.
After Han Shuo cried out in surprise, he suddenly discovered that the runes that were constantly flickering with bloody radiance were moving rapidly in a mysterious trajectory. An illusory energy appeared out of nowhere.
Before Han Shuo could figure out what was happening, that illusory energy suddenly established a bizarre connection with his consciousness. A message was transmitted to Han Shuo, "I am Cauldron Spirit. Welcome, new master!"
Han Shuo was startled. He did not understand the situation and subconsciously replied, "Who are you? What is this place? Who set up the Ninth Realm Mystical Yin Harvester? "
"I am the Cauldron Spirit of the Cauldron of Myriad Demon. The one who deployed all the formations in the Cauldron of Myriad Demon was my original master, Gu Tianxie the Exalted Demonlord!" the voice that called itself the Cauldron Spirit slowly explained to Han Shuo.
Cauldron of Myriad Demons? Devil Lord Gu Tianxie? What was going on? Han Shuo was at a loss. His mind was in a mess.
Han Shuo pondered for a moment before he suddenly exclaimed, "I'm the new master of the Cauldron of Myriad Demons? What was going on? Where's the original owner? "
"The original owner, Gu Tianxie the Exalted Demonlord, had a great battle with an expert of this universe. Both sides suffered great losses. That expert was in hiding after suffering severe injuries. The Exalted Demonlord had exhausted a great deal of his physical body to traverse across the universe and suffered devastating injuries. Before his death, he forcibly escaped to this material plane and set up everything here before his consciousness completely dissipated.
The Exalted Demonlord's consciousness completely dissipated a long time ago. I'm afraid you are the only demonic arts cultivator in this universe. Moreover, I was the one who brought you here. Therefore, from now on, you are my new master! "Cauldron Spirit explained to Han Shuo.
Han Shuo was extremely shocked. He nearly jumped up from his seat. Just how powerful was Gu Tianxie the Exalted Demonlord to be able to spare the energy to set up everything here before his death? Was that god of this universe who fought the Exalted Demonlord and survived even more powerful?
As though it knew what was on Han Shuo's mind, Cauldron Spirit angrily explained, "The Exalted Demonlord had just traversed across the universe and exhausted a great deal of energy before his consciousness completely dissipated. Otherwise, the one who died might not be the Exalted Demonlord!"
Han Shuo was stunned by Cauldron Spirit's explanation. He suddenly shuddered and hastily asked, "What do you mean by you were the one who brought me here?"
"To be more precise, it was the Exalted Demonlord and I who brought you here together. The Exalted Demonlord arranged everything and I merely carried it out!" Cauldron Spirit pondered for a moment before it explained, "There are tens of thousands of material planes in this universe. Don't you find it strange that your soul would only descend upon this material plane?"
"Now that you put it that way, it does seem a little interesting," Han Shuo thought to himself.
"Haven't you noticed that there are many traces left behind by the Exalted Demonlord on this material plane? Do you really think that the five extreme locations were formed naturally? If it weren't for the Exalted Demonlord's arrangements before his death, how could there be so many of the five extreme locations? "Cauldron Spirit continued.
Han Shuo was startled. Soon after, he cried out in surprise, "So that's how it is! It's no wonder that even though I have been to the Abyss realm, I have never discovered a single one of the five extreme locations in the vast Abyss realm!"
"The Exalted Demonlord knew that he didn't have much time left. As the energy in his body was fading every second and his consciousness was dispersing, he was unable to bring an inheritor of demonic arts from another universe. Therefore, he could only use his remaining energy to arrange the five greatest extreme locations of the five extreme locations and wait for a suitable opportunity. That is, when someone's soul underwent a great transformation and the intense undulations of energy from traversing to this material plane, the Exalted Demonlord's soul would be forcibly brought to this material plane in this universe.
After the Exalted Demonlord finished arranging all these, his consciousness gradually dissipated. However, that opportunity did not arrive and he ultimately perished. I, the Cauldron Spirit of the Cauldron of Myriad Demon, have inherited the Exalted Demonlord's dying wish and have been waiting for that opportunity all this time. I don't know how many years have passed but your soul, under the great transformation, resonated with the undulations left behind by the Exalted Demonlord. Using the energy left behind by the Exalted Demonlord, I was able to forcibly bring your soul to this universe and precisely descend to this material plane. "
Han Shuo was astounded. After listening to the Cauldron Spirit's explanation, he finally realized that the transmigration of his soul was not a coincidence. Everything was the catalyst left behind by the Exalted Demonlord Gu Tianxie and the Cauldron Spirit of the Cauldron of Myriad Demon.
"Your soul is simply too weak. In order to bring you safely from that universe and attach yourself to a physical body, I have exhausted too much of the energy here. As the Cauldron Spirit of the Cauldron of Myriad Demon, I had no choice but to enter a deep slumber and continuously gather mystical yin aura from the Ninth Realm Mystical Yin Harvester to recover.
For a period of time after that, I did not know where you were. It was not until a while ago that I woke up and immediately started calling for you. However, you and I were too far apart and I was still in a rather weak state. Therefore, you were unable to sense my calling and did not come to me.
Just when I was about to take the risk and fly out of the Cauldron of Myriad Demon, you miraculously arrived at the underground world and came all the way to this place. It seems that you are the one chosen by the Exalted Demonlord and that you will come to me by yourself sooner or later, "the Cauldron Spirit said in a gratified manner.
Han Shuo found the Cauldron Spirit's words rather odd. He never expected that there would be such a peculiar Cauldron Spirit in the depths of the underground world, silently watching him and waiting for his arrival. This feeling made Han Shuo feel somewhat touched.
"Why did Gu Tianxie go through so much trouble to bring someone over from our universe? If Gu Tianxie wanted to, he could have found a successor on this material plane and taken over everything here. I believe that doing so would have saved me a lot of effort, "Han Shuo asked in puzzlement.
"First of all, there were no highly intelligent beings on this material plane! More importantly, the Exalted Demonlord believed that everyone in this universe was alien and that his successor could only be chosen from his homeworld. He would never allow the alien races of this universe to inherit everything he had. Therefore, he did not hesitate to pay such a great price to bring you over from his homeworld rather than allow those alien races to inherit everything he had! "the Cauldron Spirit explained.
Han Shuo silently nodded after listening to the Cauldron Spirit's explanation. Some ancient people had an unreasonable obsession with their old customs. Han Shuo could understand Gu Tianxie's reasoning. After hearing the Cauldron Spirit's explanation, Han Shuo realized that what happened to Gu Tianxie must have been a very long time ago.
"In that case, I am your new master!" Han Shuo suddenly asked after a moment of silence.
"That's right. You are the person chosen by both me and the Exalted Demonlord. You will inherit everything from the Exalted Demonlord and possess the Cauldron of Myriad Demon, which is me!" the Cauldron Spirit answered affirmatively.
Han Shuo was overjoyed. He asked, "What did Gu Tianxie leave for me? Also, what are the uses of the Cauldron of Myriad Demon? "
"The Exalted Demonlord left you his understanding of the demonic path. As long as you continue down that path, you will become the next Exalted Demonlord and possess the power to destroy the world. However, this path will be very long and you must be careful. As for me, if I were in your universe, I would be able to intimidate all demons and make all demonic cultivators submit to me. But in this universe, I am useless. As for what exactly I can bring you, you will soon feel it, "the Cauldron Spirit transmitted.
"Feel what?" Han Shuo was stunned.
"Power!" the Cauldron Spirit replied.
After receiving the Cauldron Spirit's message, Han Shuo suddenly discovered that the enormous amount of mystical yin aura within the Cauldron of Myriad Demon had suddenly transformed. Under Han Shuo's attentive gaze, the condensed mystical yin aura suddenly gathered together. It was as though it was being compressed by the Cauldron of Myriad Demon, gradually evolving into a purer energy.
"You are too weak! The Ninth Realm Mystical Yin Harvester had consumed a great deal of mystical yin aura in order to bring you here. Although the mystical yin aura that has been regathered over the years isn't much, it is still enough for you to take a big step forward! Open your mind and accept the changes this energy will bring to your body. Apart from that, you will also need to receive part of the Exalted Demonlord's understanding of the demonic path. Your consciousness is still too weak to accept too much at once. I will gradually pass it on to you in the future, "the Cauldron Spirit suddenly shouted. Its enlightening voice reverberated in Han Shuo's consciousness.
Even with Han Shuo's mental fortitude, he was so excited that he found it hard to control himself. Normally, he would be able to calm himself down with just a single breath, but this time, it took Han Shuo ten times the amount of time.
