After his breakthrough, Su Yin realized that the firecracker was not an eighth-grade Realm Lord. Instead, it was a Realm Melder artifact.
It was no wonder that it was effective against the Great Beast King.
"Since it can sever time, will my cultivation improve if I fuse it with the Great Dao of Time?"
Su Yin pondered.
This idea had popped up in his mind when he first saw the firecracker. Otherwise, he would not have taken the risk to snatch it. Now that he was free, he could give it a try.
He grabbed at the air, and the Great Dao of Time flowed out. The past, present, and future merged together perfectly.
After watching the battle of the Great Beast King and obtaining a lot of its blood essence, his understanding of time had exceeded a thousand years, reaching two thousand years. It was twice as long as Xue Qianqiu.
He threw the firecracker in.
The river water continued to wash the bamboo, and the green bamboo became even greener.
"Could it be that … this thing can be revived?"
A thought suddenly appeared in his mind.
Although he did not know where the bamboo was cut from, he was certain that it was a complete body. In other words, it grew on its own and was not forged by ores or the like.
Since that was the case … could it continue to live?
Even withered trees could be rejuvenated. It was not impossible for a treasure of this level to be rejuvenated.
"The Great Dao of Life and Death …"
With a flick of his finger, the Great Dao of Life and Death carried by the Book of Life and Death appeared before him. It turned into streams of air that flowed above the bamboo like mist.
"As expected …"
After refining the Book of Life and Death and going through Nirvana, his understanding of life and death was not far from being the best in the world. At this moment, the Qi of Life and Death flowed around the bamboo, and he found that it contained rich vitality.
In other words, it was not dead but alive.
As long as he could find a way to release this energy, it might really be able to take root and sprout.
The Great Dao of Life and Death was separated into rich vitality that spread toward the bamboo. A moment later, Su Yin shook his head.
Clearly, it could not be drawn out.
After pondering for a moment, he shrouded the Qi of Life and Death, but there was no movement.
There was clearly rich vitality, but the bamboo seemed to be completely dead.
After pondering for a moment, he asked Nong Sheng about this matter.
Yuan Ping said, "It probably didn't find suitable nutrients. Plants can only take root and sprout in suitable soil … If we can find out the environment where this bamboo grew before, we should be able to create suitable nutrients."
"This …"
Su Yin smiled bitterly.
This was an artifact created by the Dragon Emperor, and he was the only one who knew the origin of this artifact. Asking such an expert … Wasn't that courting death?
Seeing through Zhang Xuan's hesitation, Yuan Ping smiled and said, "Actually, there's no need to ask the Dragon Emperor about it. There are others who might know about it as well."
"Who?" Su Yin was stunned.
The Great Beast King probably didn't know about the origin of the bamboo. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been controlled by the Dragon Monarch.
"Five Elements Saint!"
Yuan Ping explained, "The Five Elements have existed ever since the Celestial World was founded. They're the foundation of all living beings. Even though they didn't possess the cultivation they do now in the Primordial Era, it doesn't mean that they don't have a vague consciousness and memories … So, they're definitely the ones who have seen the most in all of the worlds."
"This …" Su Yin was shocked.
That's right.
Why didn't he think of it?
As spirits of the five elements, as long as the five elements existed in the world, they would be under their control. It was very easy for them to obtain secrets that others did not know about.
"Let's go find them …"
Su Yin chuckled.
Ever since he resisted Cang Qiong, Luo Quan, and the others, the Five Elements Saint had returned to the Saint Land and hadn't come out since. It was a good opportunity for him to take a look and strengthen his relationship with them. At the same time, he could also see if there was an opportunity for them to break through the shackles of the sixth rank and attain the cultivation of laws.
At the most critical moment, the other party had helped him. Su Yin had never forgotten this favor.
Of course, the prerequisite was that he had to help Xiao Wu and Dahei overcome the Realm Lord Tribulation first.
The Primordial Beast Court was a space that was independent of the Celestial World. It was difficult for the heavenly tribulation to descend in a short period of time. Now that they had returned to the Human Emperor Saint Land, the heavens had already noticed.
Dark clouds covered the sky, and lightning flashed.
The two divine beasts had reaped great rewards this time. Coupled with Su Yin's help, it wasn't too difficult for them to overcome the lightning tribulation.
After doing all this, Su Yin undid the Taiji Diagram's concealment of his cultivation and began to challenge the lightning tribulation.
His lightning tribulation was as powerful as ever. It took him a lot of effort, and he even suffered light injuries before he succeeded.
Although there were some troubles along the way, after being tempered by lightning, his physical body had become stronger, and his soul had merged with the realm more closely.
His cultivation didn't improve by much, but his understanding of the World Fusion Realm had deepened. It would be a solid foundation for him to reach the World Fusion Realm in the future.
When everything was done, the sky was already bright.
In other words, it had been close to five days since he arrived in the Celestial World, and thirteen days had passed since he left the forbidden grounds.
"Time really flies …"
Sighing, Su Yin flew straight in the direction of the Five Elemental Sacred Ground.
… …
In the Buzhou Sacred Ground, Cang Qiong, Yellow Spring, Martial Sage, Battle Sage, and Xue Qianqiu gathered together.
"Now that the Dragon Emperor has awakened, he'll definitely find a way to recover his cultivation and reforge the Beast Court. With his strength and the number one artifact in the Myriad Heavens, if we don't prepare in advance, I'm afraid none of us will be able to resist him if we meet again!"
Cang Qiong looked around with a worried expression.
Everyone in the Beast Court had suffered greatly, especially the Martial Sages and Battle Sages. Not only were they heavily injured, but they even lost the artifact they used to construct the realm.
Xue Qianqiu was in an even worse state. Many of his arms and legs had been severed, and his confidence had been severely damaged as well.
However, there was a benefit to this as well. Everyone's cultivation had improved significantly. Normally, it would take them a long time to reach the same level, but this time, the Beast Court only took them four hours to complete.
The Battle Sage frowned. "We know about this. Do you have a solution?"
Cang Qiong replied, "I'm thinking of gathering everyone's strength to forge an artifact that can rival the Beast Court! As long as we succeed, we won't have to fear the Beast Court or the Dragon Emperor. "
The Battle Sage frowned. "The Beast Court has gathered countless resources from the Dragon Tribe, and countless ancient divine beasts were slain to construct its framework. It's difficult to describe its level with words. It'll be difficult to forge an artifact of the same level as it!"
In order to establish the Beast Court, the Dragon Emperor had massacred millions of races and plundered countless treasures in the Myriad Heavens in order to forge this powerful artifact … It could be said that he had gathered the strength of an entire era to succeed.
Where could they find so many treasures in the current Celestial World?
Even if they could find them, they wouldn't have the time to forge it!
Knowing the Battle Sage's concerns, Cang Qiong replied, "It's indeed difficult, but it's not impossible … Others might not know, but I do know a little about it. The two of you are husband and wife on the surface, and your strongest weapons are the Azure Dragon Crescent Blade and the War Banner. However, in truth, you are only working together to forge a powerful artifact, the Vast Origin Cauldron! Back then, the thirty-six Ancient Sages were indignant that you were using the sacrificed humans to forge artifacts. Due to their differing beliefs, they proposed the principle that man can conquer the heavens! "
"You …"
The Battle Sage and the Battle Sage narrowed their eyes in astonishment.
There was barely anyone who knew about their disguise as husband and wife, and their goal was to hide it from the young man before them. Who could have thought that the other party had already known about it?
Paying no heed to the duo's shock, Cang Qiong continued, "The Battle Sage has been waging wars all over the Myriad Heavens. Firstly, it's to temper his cultivation. Secondly, it's to forge the Vast Origin Cauldron using the corpses of the deceased humans … If my guess is correct, the Vast Origin Cauldron should have been successfully forged, right? Furthermore, it's in the Battle Sage's possession. Otherwise, do you think that a mere eighth-rank pinnacle cultivator would be able to forge an alliance with me and the Yellow Springs? How could the Beast Court have failed to kill the two of you despite the chaos there? "
As powerful as an eighth-rank pinnacle Sage was, the fact that Cang Qiong had revealed his Divine Melder realm cultivation meant that there was no one in the world who could match him other than the Dragon Monarch. If he really wanted to make a move, even if the two of them weren't weak, they wouldn't be a match for him.
"So, you knew about it all along!"
The Battle Sage said with narrowed eyes. "Indeed. We're using the corpses of the deceased humans to forge cauldrons. Since they're already dead, wouldn't it be better for us to make use of them to contribute to the Beast Court? Only Yang Xuan and the others are stubborn enough to insist on relying on themselves … "
Over the past several dozen millenniums, she had been waging wars all over the world. Many of her enemies had died, and the same went for the humans as well. It was through these corpses that they were able to forge the Vast Origin Cauldron.
Back then, the thirty-six Ancient Sages had felt that they were desecrating the corpses of the humans, and they had quarreled with one another. However, due to their differing beliefs, they eventually parted ways.
With a cold harrumph, a massive cauldron flew out from Cang Qiong's glabella. Under the guidance of the Battle Sage's aura, it emanated a powerful might that was on par with a firecracker. In fact, it might even be stronger.
Initially, the duo's strength was weaker than Cang Qiong and Huang Quan's, but as soon as the cauldron appeared, they immediately felt like they were on par with one another.
Xue Qianqiu subconsciously shrank his neck.
He had always thought that the two of them did not live up to their reputation, especially after returning from the Beast Court. It would be a piece of cake for him to kill them. However, it seemed like he had underestimated them.
It was no wonder people often said that old monsters who had lived for several dozen millenniums were not to be underestimated.
It was fortunate that he did not act recklessly. Otherwise, his remaining limbs would have been chopped off too.
"There's no need to be nervous. I'm not trying to make you my enemy by bringing this matter up. I'm sincerely hoping to cooperate with you!"
Cang Qiong said with a smile.
"How so?" the Battle Sage asked.
Cang Qiong said, "It's as I said before. We'll gather everyone's strength and forge an artifact that can rival the Beast Court … In other words, we'll forge the Thirty-Three Skies, the Eighteen Layers of Hell, and your Vast Origin Cauldron together! Once we succeed, even if the artifact can't match the Beast Court, it'll still surpass the Dragon God Whip! We'll be able to dominate the Heavens and surpass them. "
The Battle Sage and Martial Sage looked at each other and fell into deep thought.
Cang Qiong continued, "You've seen the awakened Dragon Emperor with your own eyes. Even without the Beast Court, we're no match for him. Once he recovers, who will be able to stop him? Instead of being killed one by one, it's better to think of a way … Don't worry, as long as we don't remove the will in the artifact, even if it's fused into a new artifact, it can be controlled by all of us at the same time. This way, not only will there be no disputes over ownership, it'll also be a better way to unite us. We won't have to worry about mutual deception and deception. "
"That's true!" The duo nodded.
As long as their wills weren't removed, they would be able to control the artifact no matter how powerful it was. This was equivalent to the artifact being owned by all of them and not just any one of them.
This was similar to the merger of companies in Su Yin's previous life. As long as they were given shares of the company, they would definitely work together.
After pondering for a moment, the Battle Sage continued, "The Thirty-Three Skies represent the heavens, the Eighteen Layers of Hell represent the earth, and the Vast Origin Cauldron represents the living beings in the middle. It seems like it's possible to forge a new artifact, but we lack something to stabilize it. If we just stick them together, I'm afraid that it'll fall apart if the Dragon God Whip lashes at it, let alone fight against the Beast Court!"
The three artifacts were divided into three parts. Without something to balance them out, not only would they not be stronger, they would even give off a feeling of being a tiger's tail.
Cang Qiong smilingly said, "There's no need for you to worry about that. I've already made up my mind. If I can refine the Five Elemental Sacred Mountain into it, the artifact will truly be a success, granting it a power comparable to the Beast Hall!"
The Battle Sage and Martial Sage were stunned, "Five Elements Sacred Mountain?"
Cang Qiong nodded, "That's right. These mountains suppress the five elements and have the ability to stabilize the universe. If we can forge them, even if they belong to three different people, we'll still be able to adjust them better and unleash superior fighting prowess."
There was nothing in the world that could adjust the fusion of the Thirty-Three Skies, the Eighteen Layers of Hell, and the Vast Origin Cauldron. The Five Elements Sacred Mountain was definitely the most suitable one.
The Battle Sage hesitated, "The Five Elements Sage has always been a loner and doesn't want to associate with us. The Sacred Mountain is their foundation, so it's impossible for them to hand it over …"
Cang Qiong sneered coldly, "If it were any other time, we might be wary of the power of faith of our believers and the various rumors. However, the Five Decay of the Heavens has descended, and you might die at any moment. We can't be merciful anymore. My opinion is simple. It's one thing if you hand over the Five Elements Sacred Mountain obediently, but if you don't hand it over … we'll just snatch it from you!"
The Battle Sage's eyes flickered, "Alright!"
She was a woman who had entered the Dao through war. She was more ruthless than any man.
This was indeed not the time to be gentle. Instead, it was the right time to be forceful.
"However … these five people have a good relationship with Su Yin. They can be considered allies. I'm afraid that kid will come and cause trouble."
"We can set up an inescapable net while we go to the Five Elements Sacred Mountain. It's fine if they don't come, but if they dare to come, we'll catch them all in one fell swoop. If we can fuse the Origin Energy Pearl, True Dragon Sword, and firecrackers into our artifacts, we might be able to refine a super artifact that surpasses the Beast Court."
Cang Qiong sneered.
"That's true …" Everyone nodded in unison.
Although Su Yin had started out late and had only been famous for two to three days, the number of artifacts he had was already not inferior to these old monsters.
If they could really snatch it, they would indeed make a killing.
"It's settled then. Let's go!"
The discussion ended, and everyone agreed. Cang Qiong no longer spoke. He stood up and flew straight in the direction of the Five Elements Sacred Mountain.
The Yellow Springs, the Battle Sage, the Battle Sage, and Xue Qianqiu didn't waste any time and followed him.
From this moment on, the strongest people in the Celestial World apart from Su Yin had truly joined forces.
