Lu Xiaotian was not a person who would not take revenge after being tricked by the Primitive Swordfiend in the Pearl Buddhist Sect. However, judging from Kong Ming's tone, the Primitive Swordfiend's original body was also in seclusion. It was evident that his seclusion was extremely important since he did not personally attend to such an important matter. The world only knew about the mastermind behind the sword embryo, but no one knew about the Premier Swordfiend. If Kong Ming did not say it himself, no one would even know that he was called the Premier Swordfiend.
Finding the Premier Swordfiend was not something that could be done in a day. In comparison, Kong Ming had to use the Empty Sky Cauldron to trigger a space vortex in the Buddhist Sect to save Xiang Qingcheng. Dongfang Yi's matter was most likely related to the Empty Sky Cauldron.
On one hand, Lu Xiaotian had already sent people to find out everything about the Empty Sky Cauldron. On the other hand, he wanted to start with the Empty Sky Cauldron and study its practical use.
The Empty Sky Cauldron was indeed a rare treasure. When it was forcibly put into the Sumeru Ring, the Sumeru Ring could not bear it. When it was taken out, the Sumeru Ring was already half-broken and could not be used anymore.
As soon as the Empty Sky Cauldron left the Sumeru Ring, it struggled to escape.
"You couldn't escape when Kong Ming was here. You must be dreaming if you think you can escape now." Lu Xiaotian pointed his finger and a wisp of spiritual light surrounded the Empty Sky Cauldron. This wisp of spiritual light was like a rope that tied the Empty Sky Cauldron tightly and continued to spread. In a moment, it had covered the entire body of the Empty Sky Cauldron. The Empty Sky Cauldron shook violently in the air with a rebellious look. It still wanted to escape.
Lu Xiaotian's wisp of spiritual consciousness chose a place at random and tried to force it into the Empty Sky Cauldron. Unexpectedly, the Empty Sky Cauldron was like an iron wall that did not reveal any flaws.
The wisp of spiritual consciousness was directly ejected. Lu Xiaotian was not discouraged. There was no impenetrable wall in the aristocratic family. The Empty Sky Cauldron was the same. No matter how tightly it was guarded, it was not without flaws. It was just that it had fewer flaws compared to other magic treasures and required more effort.
Since Kongming was able to control the Empyrean Cauldron, there must be a way to attack it.
After a series of tests, he felt that the exterior of the Empyrean Cauldron was like a layer of tortoise shell. His Divine Sense was almost repelled the moment it touched the surface. Lu Xiaotian's mind moved, and the Nirvana Heavenly Fire climbed along that wisp of spiritual light. In the blink of an eye, the Empyrean Cauldron was covered in a layer of raging flames. The raging flames rose and fell, sometimes strong and sometimes weak.
Although the Nirvana Heavenly Fire's destructive power was greater than the current Nirvana Heavenly Fire, it was more effective against the enemy, and its fire was more violent and violent. Thus, the Nirvana Heavenly Fire was more suitable for such delicate work.
Using the Nirvana Heavenly Fire to burn for several years, there was no pause in between. Even if Lu Xiaotian cultivated and comprehended other cultivation methods during this period, the fire continued to burn.
One day, the Nirvana Heavenly Fire that was circling around the Empyrean Cauldron began to move. If it weren't for the fact that Lu Xiaotian's Immortal Spirit was powerful enough, he would have missed this slight movement.
Taking advantage of this slight movement, the impenetrable defense of the Empyrean Cauldron seemed to reveal a crack. Lu Xiaotian's Immortal Spirit entered the cauldron. However, there seemed to be a chaotic space inside the Empyrean Cauldron. There seemed to be space cracks twisting inside. Once Lu Xiaotian's Immortal Spirit entered, it was as if it was being torn apart by the space cracks, and he lost contact with that strand of Immortal Spirit.
"This Empyrean Cauldron's counterattack is fierce." Lu Xiaotian's eyes turned cold. However, he wasn't afraid of the Empyrean Cauldron's counterattack. He was more afraid that it didn't react at all. If it counterattacked, it meant that the Empyrean Cauldron's foundation was shaken. With the strength of Lu Xiaotian's Immortal Spirit, he didn't care about losing a strand of Immortal Spirit. It wasn't a complete loss, but it was isolated by the Empyrean Cauldron. As long as he removed the Empyrean Cauldron's Immortal Spirit, he could still retrieve that strand of Immortal Spirit.
The Heavenly Fire of Nirvana continued to burn the Empyrean Cauldron. The Empyrean Cauldron was indeed different from ordinary magic treasures. However, no matter how powerful it was, it was still a magic treasure. Without Kongming or the Primeval Swordfiend to control it, it lost its greatest deterrent.
Since the first crack had been pried open, there would be a second. Lu Xiaotian waited patiently. As expected, the same thing happened again. He lost another strand of Immortal Spirit.
After several months of repeated attempts, Lu Xiaotian forcibly removed the Empyrean Cauldron's turtle-shell-like Immortal Spirit.
"I didn't expect Pill King Lu to be able to remove the Immortal Spirit. The strength of Pill King Lu's Immortal Spirit is rarely seen in the world!" There seemed to be an endless void inside the Empyrean Cauldron. An illusory shadow appeared in the void. The shadow was blurry and somewhat empty, but it wasn't completely empty.
"Should I call you Kongming or the Primeval Swordfiend? Or just a strand of Immortal Spirit?" Lu Xiaotian's Immortal Spirit faced the faint shadow in the air.
"I am me, but I am also not me. It doesn't matter who I am to you. I didn't expect that other than your Lotus Clone, the other two women would fight for you against the Buddhist Sect and spoil my plan, "said the faint shadow.
"Few people can match your intelligence and that of Chihiro Yeh back in the day. It's just that the two of you are too obsessed with scheming. The Dao follows the heart. How can you calculate everything?"
Lu Xiaotian shook his head. The Primeval Swordfiend was a master of the Dao of Sword Embryo. Lu Xiaotian didn't find it strange that he could see through the origin of the Lotus Clone.
"Chihiro Yeh? You're just a cultivator of the Abyss Swallowing Sword Embryo. If it weren't for the fact that you're talented enough to go further in the Sword Sovereign Realm, I would have taken your life long ago, "said the Primeval Swordfiend disdainfully.
"I mobilized a dozen of your Mahayana realm cultivators to fight against the Buddhist Sect. It's very difficult to see such a scene again. Even if you control the Empyrean Cauldron, how can you gather so many Mahayana cultivators?"
"How would I know if I don't try?" Lu Xiaotian knew that the Primeval Swordfiend's words were unnecessary. It was both a coincidence and a scheme that he led a group of Mahayana cultivators to fight against the Buddhist Sect cultivators.
In this world, there was no other Immortal Sect that could reach the level of the Pearl Buddhist Sect. Dongfang Yi, Xiang Qingcheng, and the Demon King of Heaven Reaching had all been trapped in the Space Vortex. The Ghost Ant King had also been killed by him. Even the Crimson Moon Desert wouldn't be able to gather so many people.
However, no matter what, he had to do everything he could to rescue Xiang Qingcheng, Dongfang Yi, and the others.
With that, Lu Xiaotian's Primordial Spirit flashed and a Soul-capturing Net enveloped the Primeval Swordfiend's faint shadow in the Void. No matter how powerful the Primeval Swordfiend was, he was only a spirit clone in the Empyrean Cauldron. The moment Lu Xiaotian's consciousness entered the Empyrean Cauldron, the outcome was already decided.
Given the pride of the Primeval Swordfiend, he was naturally unwilling to let his consciousness be captured by Lu Xiaotian. After using the Empyrean Cauldron to resist for a while, the faint shadow finally turned into a wisp of green smoke and self-destructed, vanishing into nothingness.
Lu Xiaotian refined the Empyrean Cauldron repeatedly and finally completely subdued it.
