"Ye Daoyou, this Sect Master does not wish to hear any nonsense. What are you trying to say?" Tongming said with slight anger.
"Heaven — Breaking — Void — Cauldron!"
These four simple words came out of Ye Xuan's mouth. However, these four words were as heavy as the heavens. When Tongming heard these words, his breathing quickened and his pale eyes turned red.
Silence, silence, a strange silence!
This silence lasted for more than ten breaths of time. It was so oppressive that it made it hard for one to breathe.
"Fellow Daoist, do you think I'm a three-year-old child that can be bullied so easily?"
Suddenly, Tongming took the initiative to break the oppressive atmosphere. He shouted at Ye Xuan coldly. The dark light around his body surged violently, as if he was about to attack Ye Xuan.
"I advise you not to bluff. This method of yours might be effective on others, but it has no effect on me. If you really want to know the whereabouts of the Heaven Breaking Cauldron, then let's have a good talk." Ye Xuan said indifferently.
"Hu!"
Tongming exhaled a mouthful of turbid air. He actually calmed down. Clearly, he was just being emotional. It was also a method to test Ye Xuan.
"Ye Daoyou, empty words have no proof. You want me to believe you when you say that you know the whereabouts of the Heaven Breaking Cauldron? Don't you think that's a little too laughable?"
Tongming said in a deep voice. However, if one listened carefully, they would notice that his voice was trembling. Clearly, his heart was not calm.
"Take a look at this."
Ye Xuan did not waste any words. He directly took out the remnant book that Cang Huai Mie gave him and casually threw it to Tongming. Tongming caught it and quickly flipped through it.
Time passed little by little. Tongming read it very carefully, almost word by word. At the same time, Ye Xuan was also observing Tongming's expression. The power of space-time covered his entire body. As long as Tongming attacked him, he would immediately leave this place.
Right now, there were only two possibilities. Either the Heaven Shattering Cauldron was in the Netherworld Sect, and in order to prevent this secret from being leaked out, the Netherworld Sect Leader had to keep Ye Xuan here no matter what price he had to pay.
The second possibility was that the Heaven Breaking Cauldron was not in Tongming Cult. Therefore, Ye Xuan would naturally not be in any danger.
However, regardless of the result, Ye Xuan had achieved his goal.. So, he was very calm.. and was observing Tongming Cult to hide.
At this moment, Ye Xuan was absolutely certain that the Heaven Shattering Cauldron wasn't in the hands of the Tong Ming School, because at this moment, the Tong Ming School's eyes would occasionally reveal an extremely greedy and fiery expression. This also meant that the news of the Heaven Shattering Cauldron had already aroused his ambition and greed.
* Pa! *
Two hours later, Tongming Cult closed the remnant book. He did not return it to Ye Xuan. Instead, he carefully kept it.
"Fellow Daoist, are you joking? This remnant book did not record the location of the Heaven Breaking Cauldron. Isn't it a joke for you to give me something like this?"
"Moreover, this is just a fragment of a book. We don't even know if the contents are true. If you want my Tongming Cult to let your Heavenly Court go, I'm afraid you're dreaming." Tongming Cult Master said coldly.
"Ha!"
Ye Xuan laughed. It was an extremely sarcastic laugh. He looked at Tongming Cult with a mocking gaze.
"Tongming, you and I are both smart people. You don't have to pretend. If this remnant book is fake, why did you read it for two hours?"
Tongming Cult did not reply. His eyes flashed as he looked at Ye Xuan with killing intent. It was as if he was weighing a decision in his heart.
"Don't think about killing me to silence me. I've told you before that you can't kill me. If I spread the news of the Heaven Breaking Cauldron to the other two sects, I'm afraid Fellow Daoist Tongming will lose the initiative." Ye Xuan acted as if he had Tongming Cult in his grasp.
"Hahaha."
Suddenly, Tongming Cult laughed loudly. "Ye Daoyou, don't misunderstand. I'm just testing Fellow Daoist. I won't really kill you to silence you. It's just that I find it hard to believe that Ye Daoyou would tell me such a big secret."
"Does Fellow Daoist believe me now?" Ye Xuan said indifferently.
"Of course!"
Tongming Cult nodded solemnly. At this point, there was no need to feign civility with Ye Xuan. It was best for them to get straight to the point.
"Ye Daoyou, if I didn't see this remnant book in your hands today, I would have suspected that there was a Heaven Breaking Cauldron in the Northern Region. Now that I have this remnant book in Fellow Daoist's hands, I can finally confirm that the Heaven Breaking Cauldron is in the other two sects." Tongming Cult said in a deep voice.
"What do you mean?" Ye Xuan pretended to be confused.
"Fellow Daoist, listen to me carefully …" As Tongming Cult spoke, Ye Xuan learned of an old matter.
It turned out that when the Tenth Eon began, a dazzling divine object fell from the sky of the Northern Region. The three sects had gone to search for it.
Unfortunately, they couldn't find it and could only leave it unsettled.
However, Tongming Cult was second to none when it came to gathering information. After their continuous deduction, they found that the aura and shape of this divine object were extremely similar to the legendary Heaven Breaking Cauldron.
Therefore, after so many years, every generation of Tongming Cult sent people to secretly search for clues about this divine object in the Northern Region. However, they couldn't find any trace of it.
This secret had been passed down from generation to generation, and even Tongming Cult's generation didn't give up.
Moreover, the remnant book that Ye Xuan gave him today was made of Cold Essence Stone. This Cold Essence Stone was the main material for refining divine weapons. In the entire Northern Star Field, this material had always been controlled by the three sects of the Northern Region. It was impossible for it to be leaked to the outside world.
Therefore, the Heaven Breaking Cauldron must be in one of the three sects.
Now that Tongming Cult knew about this, Tongming Cult was the first to be eliminated. The Heaven Breaking Cauldron must be in the Northern Nether Cult or the Fairy Cult. As for which cult it was, it would require a thorough investigation.
"Ye Daoyou, from now on, you are a friend of my Tongming Cult. The Celestial Court will also be regarded as the fourth great cult in the Northern Region. I can guarantee Fellow Daoist that from now on, our two sects will help each other," Tongming Cult said sincerely.
"Then many thanks, Fellow Daoist." Ye Xuan cupped his hands and bowed with a smile on his face.
...
After seven days, the stone door of the central hall rumbled open. Tongming Cult walked out with Ye Xuan with a smile on his face. Looking at their intimate posture, it was as if the two of them were good friends who hadn't seen each other for many years. Where was the attitude of an enemy from before?
"This...?"
Looking at the smile on Tongming Cult's face, the four elders of the Tongming Cult were stunned. They didn't know what Ye Xuan had said to their Sect Master. How come in just seven days, the two of them seemed to be best friends?
"Pass down this Sect Master's decree. Prepare a generous gift and send it to the Celestial Court. From now on, the Celestial Court will be the fourth great cult in the Northern Region. My Tongming Cult will be on good terms with the Celestial Court for generations. Disciples of my cult are not allowed to be enemies with members of the Celestial Court. Otherwise, they will be punished according to the cult's rules."
Tong Ming Sect Master spoke in a dignified manner as he sent out a green decree. His voice resounded throughout the entire Tong Ming Sect, causing an uproar among the disciples.
"Many thanks, Fellow Daoist Tongming. This Ye will take his leave. If there is an opportunity in the future, I would like to invite Fellow Daoist to be a guest at the Celestial Court." Ye Xuan cupped his hands and bowed.
