Fengdu City, Misty Cloud Villa.
The Misty Cloud Villa was a training ground prepared by the Emperor of Fengdu for Ye Xuan and the Nether River Patriarch. The environment here was excellent, and no one would disturb them. It could be said to be a place isolated from the rest of the world.
A small stream flowed, surrounded by Yin Bamboos, and a cool breeze brought white mist with it. Ye Xuan and the Nether River Patriarch sat opposite each other. There was a chessboard between them, and they were playing a game.
"You lost!"
Ye Xuan put down the black chess piece in his hand with a smile on his face. The Nether River Patriarch chuckled and casually threw the white chess piece on the chessboard.
"The Way of Chess is just a child's trick. I don't care to study it." The Nether River Patriarch was somewhat unconvinced. He was not well-versed in the Way of Chess, so he was naturally unconvinced that he had lost three consecutive games to Ye Xuan.
"The world is like a chessboard, and all things are chess pieces. Although this chessboard looks small, it hides a great deal of knowledge. It's not that easy to be the chess player," Ye Xuan said with a smile.
The Nether River Patriarch was slightly stunned when he heard Ye Xuan's words. He then sneered, "You're such a mystifying person. However, you're also very capable. I admire you."
The Nether River Patriarch paused slightly when he said this. He looked at Ye Xuan with an unfathomable gaze and said, "The three Ghost Emperors have been subdued by you. It seems that Zhang Heng has been killed by you. I presume that his treasure has also fallen into your hands?"
Ye Xuan had returned with the three Ghost Emperors following him. The Nether River Patriarch did not need to guess to know what had happened to Zhang Heng. However, the Nether River Patriarch still remembered the small cauldron in Zhang Heng's hands. It could be said that he coveted it greatly.
Ye Xuan had been able to withstand his all-out attack because of the small cauldron. The Nether River Patriarch was naturally concerned about the whereabouts of the small cauldron and wanted to ask Ye Xuan for it.
Unfortunately, Ye Xuan didn't answer the Nether River Patriarch's question. He could naturally see the greed in the Nether River Patriarch's eyes.
"Ye Xuan, why don't we make a deal? Give me that little cauldron, and I'll let you choose any of my treasures. I can even trade my Yuan Tu and Avici Swords with you." Patriarch Nether River chuckled.
Ye Xuan frowned and directly refused, "Minghe, if it were something else, it wouldn't hurt to give it to you. Unfortunately, this small cauldron is extremely important to me. You should give up on this thought."
"Ye Xuan, you and I have known each other for many years. This item …"
Patriarch Styx did not give up, nor did he see the displeasure on Ye Xuan's face. He continued licking his lips, trying to get Ye Xuan to give the small cauldron to him. However, before he could finish speaking, Ye Xuan coldly interrupted him. "Styx, you better not forget your identity. Otherwise, don't blame me for falling out with you."
"This …?"
Patriarch Nether River was stunned. He finally saw Ye Xuan's frown. Then, he turned his eyes and said with a flattering smile, "I was just joking with you. Since Ye Tiandi likes this item, I naturally wouldn't dare to force you."
Patriarch Nether River was very smart. When he saw Ye Xuan's gloomy expression, he immediately knew that he had angered Ye Xuan. Moreover, he was in the same boat as Ye Xuan. Naturally, he didn't want to fall out with him over a treasure of unknown origin.
"I need to cultivate in seclusion for a period of time. I will come out when the Red Spider Lily matures."
Ye Xuan strode away, leaving Patriarch Nether River awkwardly where he was. However, in the end, he could only sigh helplessly. He knew that he had said the wrong thing. It must have caused Ye Xuan to feel uncomfortable.
…
Inside the Misty Cloud Establishment!
Ye Xuan sat cross-legged on a praying mat. His aura was not obvious, and his expression was slightly gloomy. Patriarch Nether River had just asked him for this item. Naturally, Ye Xuan couldn't give him the small cauldron.
Although his attitude was slightly unyielding, it was a stance that he had to show. As the saying went, there was an order of seniority. Ye Xuan also wanted Patriarch Nether River to understand this principle.
Moreover, the small cauldron was too important to him. He naturally couldn't be careless.
Buzz!
The void rippled and the third mysterious small cauldron appeared. This also made Ye Xuan place the small cauldron on his palm carefully. He was calmly sensing the power contained in the small cauldron.
Chi! Chi!
Chi! When Ye Xuan poured his cultivation into the small cauldron, the mysterious small cauldron underwent a strange change. Black electric snakes appeared on the cauldron's body and constantly flickered around it.
"Restrain!"
Ye Xuan frowned. An extremely terrifying suction force appeared on his palm and fingers. He wanted to restrain the black electric snakes in his hand. However, when his palm touched the black electric snakes, an extremely sharp pain appeared on his palm.
Buzz!
Suddenly, the black electric snakes disappeared. Ye Xuan's expression changed. He saw that his palm had been burned and a crack had appeared on his palm.
"What a terrifying power!" Ye Xuan muttered coldly. His eyes were filled with excitement.
Ye Xuan knew his physical body too well. It was definitely stronger than the Twelve Ancient Ancestral Shamans. However, the black electric bolts that overflowed from the small cauldron could actually injure his palm. This also meant that the power contained in the small cauldron was unimaginably powerful.
"Come."
Ye Xuan's palm and fingers brushed the air. The Bronze Immortal Sutra fell into his hand. His eyes were filled with excitement. This was because the two small cauldrons had been integrated into the Bronze Immortal Sutra and had brought him two heaven-defying techniques.
He wondered what kind of surprise the third small cauldron would bring him now that he had obtained it.
"Eh?"
Suddenly, Ye Xuan's eyes froze and he exclaimed in surprise. This was because when he brought the third small cauldron close to the Bronze Immortal Sutra, an extremely violent power overflowed from the mysterious small cauldron and instantly blasted the Bronze Immortal Sutra away.
"How could this be?"
Ye Xuan muttered in shock. This was completely different from what he had imagined. He had thought that the third small cauldron would be integrated into the Bronze Immortal Sutra like the previous two small cauldrons and turn into a new sutra page. However, there was a great repulsion between the two.
"Again."
Ye Xuan picked up the Bronze Immortal Sutra and the small cauldron again. However, as soon as the two came into contact with each other, an obscure aura exploded between them and the two objects were blasted away again.
"Something's strange!"
Ye Xuan stared at the two objects with a solemn look in his eyes. The method that he had tried and failed previously had failed. This third small cauldron must be very different from the two small cauldrons he had obtained before.
Clang!
Once … Twice … Thrice … Ten times!
Ye Xuan tried a total of ten times but the result was still the same. The two objects seemed to be naturally repelling each other and could not be integrated at all.
"Suppress."
Ye Xuan's face turned cold. His cultivation erupted and directly suppressed the mysterious small cauldron in the void. Then, he violently suppressed the terrifying power within the small cauldron. He wanted to forcibly integrate the mysterious small cauldron into the Bronze Immortal Sutra.
Woo!
An extremely terrifying thing happened. The mysterious small cauldron suddenly erupted with black lightning, and it instantly drowned the entire Misty Cloud Cottage. The pitch-black lightning flames burned down the space, and it even caused a huge explosion that sounded like the sky was falling and the earth was splitting apart.
