At the dark bottom of the lake, Deng Geng looked at the row of words on the Black Iron Treasure Map and was dumbfounded.
"One of the nine cauldrons?" Deng Geng started to feel annoyed. "It's not enough to get the treasure map, you still want one of the nine cauldrons! How troublesome … … "Deng Geng naturally knew about the Nine Cauldrons. After the invincible Emperor Yu unified the world, he divided the world into nine prefectures.
At the same time, Emperor Yu gathered many precious metals from the Land of the Nine Prefectures and forged nine cauldrons.
These nine cauldrons also represented the Nine States.
From then on, all the people of the Land of the Nine Prefectures, from the ordinary mountain dwellers to the great figures of the eight supreme sects, had to worship Emperor Yu and the nine cauldrons on the day of the Yearly Sacrifice. The cauldron had also become a sacrificial object.
Everyone in the Land of the Nine Prefectures knew the legend of Emperor Yu and the Nine Cauldrons. Who didn't pay their respects during the annual sacrifice?
"Emperor Yu, you left behind this treasure map, but you still played this trick. Nine Cauldrons … Ever since you passed away, the world has been in chaos. The nine cauldrons would disappear without a trace. It seems that only the Poetic Sword God 'Li Taibai' had once obtained one of the cauldrons. "Deng Geng was the Tie Yi Hall's Law Enforcing Elder and knew a lot about the senior experts.
From the ancient times until now, there were only four people who could stand side by side with each other — Emperor Yu, Heavenly Emperor Qin Ling, Martial Ancestor Shiga, and the Poetic Sword God Li Taibai.
"Senior Li Taibai once obtained a cauldron, and even used that cauldron to hold wine to drink." Deng Geng also remembered those records.
Li Taibai should be the most carefree and unrestrained of the four greatest figures in history. Although he had peerless martial prowess that was invincible in the world, he did not unify the world, nor did he pass down his disciples to establish a sect. With a Green Lotus Sword in his hand, he walked around the world, leaving behind one legend after another. He used one of the nine cauldrons to drink wine. This was one of the legends.
At that time, Li Taibai sighed, "This Nine Prefectures Cauldron has been worshipped by the people of the Nine Prefectures, and it has become so magical. It was originally a huge object, but now it is only the size of a bowl. Even my Azure Sharp Sword can't hurt it at all. How magical!"
In the Land of the Nine Prefectures, some of the influential figures of the sects also knew of these allusions.
The Nine Cauldrons could shrink, and could not be destroyed in the slightest!
The Poetic Sword God, Li Taibai, was a figure comparable to Emperor Yu. Even he couldn't injure the nine cauldrons. The nine cauldrons were magical.
Ever since Empress Yu, countless people in the Land of the Nine Prefectures had worshiped Emperor Yu and the Nine Cauldrons for generations. Until now ….. in many people's hearts, the Nine Cauldrons were no longer just weapons. They were the symbols of the Land of the Nine Prefectures. They contained the hopes of the people of the Land of the Nine Prefectures!
…
At the bottom of the lake, Deng Geng was anxious.
"Our Tie Yi Hall's Clan Masters and Law Enforcing Elders have always been searching for this treasure map! Now that I have found it, it has been more than a thousand years. But damn it, at this critical moment, this treasure map still reminds me that I need a cauldron. An ordinary cauldron is not enough, it must be one of the nine cauldrons. Isn't this toying with me?! "Deng Geng was so anxious that he really wanted to scold Emperor Yu." The nine cauldrons are magical, how can Tie Yi Hall find them? Even if you put him in front of me, I'm afraid I wouldn't recognize him. "
Suddenly —
A scene flashed across Deng Geng's mind. It was the Black Small Tripod worn on the chest of Senior Wei Dan's skeleton.
"Yes!" Deng Geng's expression changed and his eyes lit up.
"Yes, yes!" Deng Geng was extremely excited. "The Nine Cauldrons are extremely magical and can even change their size. The cauldron that the Poetic Sword God Li Taibai obtained could be as big as a bowl. Naturally, it could also become as big as a finger! No wonder Wei Dan wore the Small Tripod close to his body! "
"And this Small Tripod didn't rot or grow moss after being soaked in the water for hundreds of years. Originally, I thought it was a precious material. But now, haha, to be one of the nine cauldrons, how could this Small Tripod rot after being soaked in the water? "
The more Deng Geng thought about it, the more he felt that it was right.
Wei Dan was a Golden Dan Innate Expert. How could he coincidentally wear such a peculiar Small Tripod? And Wei Dan just happened to obtain the second half of the treasure map … … Combining the two, Teng Qingshan could completely deduce this. Because of the treasure map, Wei Dan searched for the Small Tripod carefully. Since he obtained it by chance, of course he wore it close to his body!
"Haha … … God is helping Tie Yi Hall!" Deng Geng immediately felt carefree. "I wanted this Small Tripod, and God immediately sent it to me. Now that I have all the treasure maps and the Small Tripod, Tie Yi Hall can open Emperor Yu's Treasure! In a few decades, Tie Yi Hall will definitely be able to destroy Gui Yuan Sect and Qing Hu Island and control the entire Yangzhou! And become one of the eight Supreme Sects! "
Immediately, Deng Geng put the treasure map into his bosom and swam upwards.
Looking up at the surface of the water, Deng Geng's facial expression changed and he suddenly stopped.
"Something's wrong!" Deng Geng looked around and said, "I spent almost two hours at the bottom of the lake. Why didn't I see Elder Tian and the others?" The bottom of the lake was only so big. Logically speaking, the three of them would often bump into each other while searching at the bottom of the lake. However, Deng Geng remembered that he didn't bump into Elder Tian and the others for a long time at the bottom of the lake.
Deng Geng raised his head and looked at the sparkling surface of the lake.
His facial expression turned cold as he said, "Looks like the situation has changed." Deng Geng immediately pulled out a silver long sword. This sword was called the Silver Scale Sword, and it was also a rare godly weapon.
*****
Teng Qingshan waited on the shore of the lake for more than two hours. The sky had already darkened, and a crescent moon hung in the sky.
"Whooo ~ ~ ~" The mountain wind at the top of the mountain was fierce.
"Ga, ga — —" Some unknown birds of prey flew across the sky and made unpleasant cries. Teng Qingshan squatted on the shore of the lake. He wore the Heavenly Hawk Claw Gloves and held a flying knife in each of his hands. Even though he had waited for two hours, he still didn't show any signs of anxiousness. It wouldn't be difficult to wait for a few more hours.
The mountain wind whistled and the birds of prey screamed.
"Rumble ~ ~ ~" Suddenly, the originally calm surface of the lake exploded. The entire surface of the lake, which was over ten Zhang wide, exploded, and the water splashed several Zhang high into the sky.
With so much water splashing into the sky, it was impossible to tell where someone was hiding.
"Oh no, Deng Geng found someone hiding." Teng Qingshan frowned. He had waited for two hours for nothing!
Suddenly, at the edge of the water splashing into the sky, a shadow flashed and scuttled to the shore. With a tap on the shore, the shadow dashed towards Teng Qingshan.
"Hmph!" The flying knife in Teng Qingshan's right hand was thrown out with a swoosh!
"Xiu!"
Xiu!
The two flying knives in his left and right hands, one in front and one behind, streaked across the sky like two flashes of lightning. When they were one Zhang away from the shadow, the first flying knife suddenly streaked across in an arc.
"Clang!"
A series of silvery sword shadows appeared and swept past Teng Qingshan's flying knives like a waterfall. With two continuous clanging sounds, Teng Qingshan's two flying knives were shaken into pieces. As for the shadow that was scuttling over, he couldn't help but stop in his tracks. He even took two steps back.
Deng Geng looked at the knife-scarred man in front of him and thought, "The strength of this knife-scarred man's flying knives is actually so strong that my hands are slightly numb from the shock."
Deng Geng's gaze swept across the chest of the skeleton and his pupils shrank, "The Small Tripod is gone!"
"You killed my Tie Yi Hall's disciple. Die!" Deng Geng roared and dashed towards Teng Qingshan.
"Are you qualified to kill me?" Teng Qingshan let out a coarse voice and stomped on the ground. Like a ferocious tiger descending the mountain, he also dashed towards Deng Geng.
The two of them were originally only a few Zhang away from each other. With this dash, they immediately started fighting.
"Chi!"
With a flash, the Silver Scale Sword stabbed in front of Teng Qingshan's eyes. Teng Qingshan's footsteps were nimble. With a wave of his right hand, he turned his body. With a clang, his right hand clashed with the Silver Scale Sword. The 'Heavenly Hawk Claw' was indeed the weapon of a Golden Dan Innate Expert.
At the moment of collision, Teng Qingshan advanced with a Collapsing Fist!
"Pu!"
The fist was like an arrow that was released from a bow. The air in front of the fist was compressed and a visible arc-shaped pressure appeared. The air gave off a trembling sound and the density of the air changed, causing Teng Qingshan's fist to become blurry. Upon seeing this, Deng Geng's heart tightened and he immediately retreated. At the same time, the Silver Scale Sword drew a curve.
"Peng!" An explosion occurred and the high-pressure air exploded.
Instantly, sand and pebbles flew everywhere.
Teng Qingshan's left and right fists could be seen. One of his fists blocked and the other punched. Sometimes, both fists attacked consecutively. His footsteps sometimes retreated and sometimes advanced. There weren't many changes. However, his grasp of the opportunity was very accurate. His control of space had already reached an astonishing level. The endless Collapsing Fist had completely surrounded Deng Geng.
The Collapsing Fist was like an arrow, circulating endlessly!
As for Deng Geng's sword art, it was also terrifying. Every strike of his sword was an arc. Some arcs were bigger, some were smaller. The Innate True Origin that was contained was also sometimes strong and sometimes weak. However, it was able to completely block Teng Qingshan's Collapsing Fist.
"The defensive ability of this Deng Geng's sword art is probably not inferior to my Transmutation Unity Law spear art. Every arc is like a shield, and the number of shields is endless. " Teng Qingshan felt how powerful his opponent was. "My physical strength combined with the Innate True Origin is actually unable to gain the upper hand!"
He was shocked. How could Deng Geng not be shocked as well?
"Where did this knife-scarred man come from? With just a pair of fists, he actually suppressed me to the point where I could only defend and was unable to attack. "Deng Geng was also anxious." I have never heard of such a person among the True Dan Innate Experts. "
"Boom!"
A thunderclap sounded!
"Not good!" When Deng Geng saw the fist that instantly pierced through the air and seemed to fill the entire space, he couldn't help but be shocked. The fist that pierced through the air and attacked contained a strange force that caused the surrounding air to distort. Deng Geng could only retreat rapidly while holding his Silver Scale Sword horizontally.
"Peng!"
Deng Geng retreated a few steps. Every step caused the mountain rocks to tremble and huge pits to appear. Large rocks flew in all directions.
"Stop!" Deng Geng hastily shouted.
Teng Qingshan looked at Deng Geng and said, "Although the speed of the Tiger Cannon Fist that I executed with the 'Heavenly Hawk Claw' is slightly slower, the explosive force is not inferior to the 'Toxic Dragon Drill'. This Deng Geng can actually block it. "
At this moment, Deng Geng felt a faint pain in his arms and bones, "I will probably have to pay a huge price to kill this knife-scarred man."
"Brother, you've got good skills! I didn't expect that in this world, there would be someone at the True Dan Innate Expert level who is so good at fist arts. "Deng Geng said.
"Your sword art is not bad either." Teng Qingshan said with a loud voice.
On the mountain peak, the two experts were slightly fearful of each other.
Deng Geng revealed a smile and said, "These juniors of my Tie Yi Hall offended you, brother. You can kill them and this matter will be settled. However … … brother, please return my Tie Yi Hall's inherited item, the Black Small Tripod, to my Tie Yi Hall! "
