Li Qingshan was very unconvinced. "Why must you boost the morale of others and diminish your own? I think he's suppressed his cultivation to below the fourth heavenly tribulation, which is why he can calm the might of the world. If they really fight, he might even be a little weaker than the Corpse Emperor. I'll go retrieve the Dragon Province cauldron right now and assist you in becoming a god! "
The Banyan Tree King said, "Sigh, you don't understand …"
"Old friend, you've actually managed to obtain the cauldrons of seven provinces. That's far beyond my expectations."
Huo Long's voice rang out through the Profound Light Illuminates All. Li Qingshan was slightly surprised. He knew the Profound Light Illuminates All could be seen and heard, but this innate ability had never been of much use. He had never seriously developed it either, yet his enemy had actually taken advantage of it first.
"Is everything going according to your plan?"
The Banyan Tree King thought back to when he first proposed to forge the nine cauldrons, but he never expected himself to be caught in his own trap.
"How's that possible? Even True Immortals can't achieve something like that."
Huo Long swiveled his eyes and stared at Li Qingshan. "The young friend beside you has completely exceeded my expectations. There must be some powerful external interference!" His gaze deepened as if he wanted to see through Li Qingshan. Then he shook his head. "Let's not talk about that. Out of the Seventy-two Daemon Kings, you're the one I respect the most. Unfortunately, our paths clash, so we're forced to be enemies. However, since you're an old friend, I'll leave you with a chance of survival. "
Li Qingshan clenched his fist. A mighty Ten Daemon King, half a god of the world, actually seemed like a piece of trash to him, someone he could destroy with a wave of his hand.
The Banyan Tree King calmed down. "Are you afraid I'll throw my life away?"
"If throwing your life away was useful, why would you waste your breath on me? The Dragon province leads the nine provinces. The Dragon province reigns supreme among the nine cauldrons of the world. If you devoured the eight provinces and spent a century to completely digest them, you might have a chance at victory. You've only devoured seven provinces right now, and only the Mist province has truly been assimilated, so why must you end your own life? "
Huo Long fiddled around with the Dragon Province cauldron.
"I still don't understand. Why did you return? Do you want to become the God of the World? But you could have done that five thousand years ago … "
The Banyan Tree King was puzzled. Low-level worlds were of no use to powerful cultivators. With Chuo Long's cultivation and pursuits, why would he return? What did he want?
Luo Hou Xiaoming muttered, "Blessed Grotto-Heaven."
"Eh? Someone actually knows! That's right, the Nine Prefectures will become a paradise for my Myriad Phenomenon Sect! "Chuo Long proudly said," Why would I, Chuo Long, be trapped in a world and be some god of the world? Fellow Daoist, your wisdom is as vast as the sea, and no one in the world can compare to you. It's a pity that your knowledge is lacking, and your ambition is lacking. As the saying goes, 'without ambition, one's wisdom is lacking'. How can the path of cultivation allow you to shrink back like this! "
He raised the Dragon Province Cauldron high, and the roar of a dragon resounded, shaking the heavens and earth.
He turned into a Golden True Dragon and entered the Dragon Province Cauldron.
Dragon patterns appeared outside the cauldron, baring their fangs and brandishing their claws as they swam around the cauldron.
Many unprecedented images appeared on the four cauldrons. There was the sea of trees of the Mist province, the desert of the Scarlet province, the grasslands of the Frost province, the mountains of the Thunder province …
The images of the eight provinces gathered in one cauldron.
Every branch of the Banyan Tree King in the various provinces trembled as if they were fending off something invisible. Extremely magnificent colours wove together in the sky like an aurora, changing and flowing with every second. This was a clash between the laws of the world.
Everyone gazed up, but they still had no idea what was happening.
Li Qingshan did not understand the exact details, but at the very least, he understood something. The Banyan Tree King had been tricked.
The Clam King of Mirage Sea and the Frost Feather Moth King's encounters were definitely not an isolated case. They could even be regarded as lucky survivors. This founding emperor who had tricked who knew how many Daemon Kings and great cultivators had long since understood what the Banyan Tree King was thinking. The nine cauldrons were not a shortcut to godhood, but a great trap instead.
The other eight cauldrons were bait, while the Dragon Province Cauldron was a hook hidden within the bait. From the moment the Banyan Tree King devoured the Mist province cauldron and became the god of the Mist province, he had fallen into a trap.
All he could do right now was shatter the Dragon Province Cauldron.
Li Qingshan flew up, about to make his way to the Dragon province. An aerial root wrapped around his ankle, and the Banyan Tree King's voice rang out in his head, "Qingshan, you can't do it. Don't walk right into a trap. It's a pity that I've let down your and Little Ann's hard work …"
"Fellow, you've gathered the power of seven cauldrons. Can't you put up a fight? The formation of the imperial palace has already fallen, and I still don't care about those rotten fish on the mountain. I just need to last a while … "
"That's exactly what he wants you to think. He wants to use this opportunity to eliminate you as a surprise! He personally forged the nine cauldrons, and the Dragon Province Cauldron is the core of the nine cauldrons. I can't last for too long. I know your current strength completely surpasses Daemon Kings. I've also seen your battle against the Corpse Emperor, but this is different. If you don't go to the Dragon province, he won't be able to do anything to you for some time. Go to the Frost province and ascend quickly! "
The Banyan Tree King felt the fragments of the nine cauldrons in his body surge, reassembling piece by piece, vaguely forming huge cauldrons. Even the Mist province cauldron that had completely melted away was the same. Only the Frost province cauldron had been devoured by the miniature world, so it was impossible for it to reassemble.
Suddenly, he came to a realisation. Even the stalemate right now was probably an illusion.
Li Qingshan stopped. It was not only because of the Banyan Tree King's warning, but also because of the spirit turtle's warning. The great omen of death shrouded all of his life force. Even when he faced the Corpse Emperor or the Ghost Tower, they were not so terrifying.
His trip to the Dragon province was certain death.
He had already undergone rebirth twice, and he was still in a weakened state. Although he could undergo rebirth once more, he would become a phoenix's embryo. He would be unable to fight or flee.
Several dozen great cultivators were gathered on Dragon's Head Mountain, and every single one of them possessed great strength. Meanwhile, who knew how many other tricks the imperial court of Great Xia was hiding, not to mention the founding ancestor of Great Xia who wielded the Dragon Province Cauldron and possessed unknown strength.
As a result, the situation was extremely disadvantageous to him.
"Li Qingshan, are you bold enough to face me in battle?"
The Hui Long's voice contained a deep dragon's roar, echoing through the nine provinces. It was equivalent to provoking Li Qingshan before everyone.
Li Qingshan sucked in a deep breath. His eyes were as tranquil as the ocean. "Hui Long, you'll regret asking this question."
"Interesting. I'll be waiting for you in the Dragon province."
With that, a yellow leaf drifted down before Li Qingshan. He suddenly raised his head. Most of the dark-green tree crown had been dyed yellow in a single moment. In the blink of an eye, it had all turned yellow, drifting through the air. It was like a human's hair had turned white overnight.
The sea of trees had also turned into a yellow ocean.
"Tree King!" Cries rang out across Towering City.
Seven-colored light suddenly flickered among the treetops, condensing into a fruit of wisdom. It landed in Little Ann's hand.
"That's what we agreed. It's a pity that you're still missing two provinces. You slashed me once, so I'll cut off two provinces! "
The Banyan Tree King had once promised that when he became the god of the nine provinces, he would condense an ultimate fruit of wisdom and let Li Qingshan give it to Little Ann.
A golden light flew over, and Madam Teng cried out in surprise, "You … What's wrong with you …"
The Banyan Tree King looked at her and closed his eyes with a smile. "That's fine too."
In an instant, the sea of trees turned into ashes. r1152
