"Is that the black hole you were talking about?" Akatsuki asked Ye Fan.
It was clear that she had also sensed the huge suction force.
Ye Fan nodded.
He circulated his spiritual power and began to slow down the floating speed of the ball of light.
Under the influence of Ye Fan's overbearing spiritual power, the ball of light became slower and slower until it finally came to a steady stop.
In front of the two of them, a huge black hole suddenly appeared!
The black hole was over a hundred feet in size and there was not a single trace of light. It looked extremely frightening, as if a monster would rush out of it at any moment!
Akatsuki's face under the crystal mask turned pale and her face was filled with shock.
It was clear that she was frightened by the underwater black hole in front of her.
She was already afraid of water. Now that there was such a huge black hole in the depths of the water, how could she not be afraid?
If not for Ye Fan by her side, she would have already broken down.
"Should … should we go down?" Akatsuki looked at the black hole in front of her and carefully asked Ye Fan.
She was afraid that her voice would attract the monster out of the black hole.
"No need." Ye Fan, who was wearing the white jade mask, shook his head and said, "I will know if the Sacred Cauldron is inside or not once I try."
"Try? How? "Akatsuki asked nervously.
"Hold on to me tightly and don't let go." Ye Fan turned his head and said to Akatsuki.
After hearing Ye Fan's words, Akatsuki grabbed onto Ye Fan's arm and did not let go.
She could not guess what method Ye Fan was going to use to test if the Sacred Cauldron was inside or not.
However, since Ye Fan asked her to hold on to him tightly, he must have his reasons.
Ye Fan turned his head and looked at the black hole. He bent his left hand slightly and began to gather spiritual power.
Buzz … As Ye Fan's overbearing spiritual power continued to gather, a five-colored ball of light instantly appeared in Ye Fan's palm!
The ball of light was seven inches in size and shone brightly. Red, purple, white, gold, and green, the five colors intertwined and rotated slowly in Ye Fan's palm. It was extremely beautiful!
Whoosh! Ye Fan narrowed his eyes and suddenly pushed the ball of light in his hand toward the black hole!
Whoosh … The ball of light broke through the water and whizzed toward the depths of the black hole!
He was going to use his spiritual power to test if the Sacred Cauldron was still there.
After the ball of light left his hand, there was no movement for a long time.
Ye Ye Fan's's that was the Cauldron of the Sacred Cauldron of light.
This black hole was several hundred feet deep. It would indeed take some time for his spiritual energy ball to offset the buoyancy of the river water and reach the bottom of the hole.
The scene before Yuehong Ji's eyes widened in shock!
Ye Fan's ball of light had been in the Sacred Cauldron of Sacred Cauldron for some time, but there was no sound at all. This could only mean one thing. Either Ye Fan's spiritual power had been swallowed by the Sacred Cauldron, or Ye Fan's ball of light had yet to reach the bottom!
Regardless of which possibility it was, Akatsuki couldn't imagine it!
"Bufan -kun …" Akatsuki wanted to ask Ye Fan what was going on.
"Shh …" Ye Fan interrupted Akatsuki's words and motioned for Akatsuki to keep quiet.
Akatsuki understood tacitly and kept quiet.
Buzz … Just as the two of them were focused on the Sacred Cauldron of Sacred Cauldron Sacred Cauldron, a golden dot suddenly appeared in their line of sight!
The golden dot of light grew bigger and bigger, accompanied by a faint rumbling sound!
It was golden light! It was the golden light reflected by the barrier!
The enchantment was still there, the divine cauldron was still there!
The scene in front of him made Ye Fan happy.
It seemed that his previous worries were unnecessary. The location of the divine cauldron under the Sishui River had not changed.
Presumably, it was because the divine cauldron knew that it was unable to break through the barrier with its own strength, which was why it did not move.
Buzz … Ye Fan thought to himself as he mobilized his spirit energy. He set up a five-colored spirit energy barrier that was more than a foot thick in front of the sphere of light. At the same time, he urged the sphere of light to retreat quickly.
Boom! Just as the water-repelling light ball retreated to the edge of the black hole, tens of thousands of huge golden light pillars as thick as bowls surged up from the black hole and spurted out!
The earth-shattering golden light beam illuminated the bottom of the Sishui River within a radius of several hundred feet around the black hole!
Shua! The Waterproof Light Sphere that the two of them were in was quickly lifted up by the water current caused by the golden light pillar, quickly rushing towards the surface of the water!
Akatsuki, who was hiding inside the light sphere, tightly held onto Ye Fan's arm as she stared dumbfoundedly at the scene before her. She felt like she was in a dream!
She did not expect the power of the divine cauldron barrier to be so tyrannical!
Since she was young, she had seen countless barriers, but this was the first time she had seen such a powerful and tyrannical barrier!
Boom! Tens of thousands of golden light pillars swept up the thick water pillar and instantly broke through the surface of the Sishui River, like a huge golden dragon rising up with its head held high!
Shua! The Waterproof Light Sphere that enveloped Ye Fan and Akatsuki also rushed out of the water and broke through the waves!
The moment they came out of the water, Ye Fan silently recited the immortal art and used the Cloud Riding Technique!
Shua … Clouds instantly gathered under the feet of the two of them, steadily lifting the two of them straight up into the sky!
When the golden light dissipated, the Auspicious Clouds under the feet of the two of them were already high up in the sky.
Akatsuki took a few deep breaths and released Ye Fan's arm.
From the sky to the bottom of the river, and then from the bottom of the river to the sky.
The rapid change of scene made her feel as if she was in a dream.
"Are you alright?" Ye Fan, who was activating the Auspicious Clouds, saw that Akatsuki was silent, and turned his head to ask Akatsuki.
"I'm fine." Akatsuki replied, "I just can't calm down."
"This is your first time entering the water. It's normal for you to have such a reaction." Ye Fan turned his head and said.
"That day, you made such a big commotion at night. Was it you who dealt with the Divine Cauldron Barrier at the bottom of the Sishui River?" Akatsuki asked Ye Fan.
Ye Fan nodded.
"I never thought that this divine cauldron barrier would be so powerful. Even with your spiritual energy cultivation, you were unable to break it." Akatsuki sighed.
"The power of this barrier is extraordinary. With my current cultivation, I am unable to do anything to it." Ye Fan said.
"There's one thing I don't understand." Akatsuki said to Ye Fan, "Since you have already found two divine cauldrons, why don't you tell Matsumoto Takeyoshi about this? Don't you have an agreement between you two? Every time you find three divine cauldrons, you can get back one of your wife's three souls. "
"I do have an agreement with him to exchange nine cauldrons for three souls." Ye Fan replied calmly, "But that's just my stopgap measure. No matter what, I won't give him the nine cauldrons."
"Stopgap measure?" Akatsuki was shocked after hearing that, and asked Ye Fan.
"That's right." Ye Fan replied.
"If you don't find the nine cauldrons for him, how are you going to save your wife?" Akatsuki asked Ye Fan doubtfully.
"As long as I find all nine cauldrons, I naturally have a way to save my wife. I don't need to beg Matsumoto Takeyoshi." Ye Fan said to Akatsuki.
When Akatsuki heard Ye Fan's words, she was startled at first, but then she came to a realization.
Only now did she understand Ye Fan's true intentions.
Matsumoto Takeyoshi was looking for the nine cauldrons, and Ye Fan was also looking for the nine cauldrons!
Cooperating with Matsumoto Takeyoshi was just a pretense. Ye Fan's true intention was to use Matsumoto Takeyoshi's power to find the Nine Divine Cauldrons!
What a good move! Building one path in the open while secretly plotting another in the dark!
What a good move! Pushing the boat with the current, beating them at their own game!
No matter how smart Matsumoto Takeyoshi was, he would never have thought that Ye Fan would have such a move!
"What's so special about the divine cauldrons that they can save your wife?" Akatsuki asked Ye Fan again.
"I can't answer that question." Ye Fan turned his head to look at Akatsuki, "It's not that I don't believe you, but if I tell you, it won't be good for either of us."
The secret of the nine cauldrons was a heavenly secret. Those who rashly revealed the heavenly secret would definitely be punished by the heavens.
Akatsuki looked at Ye Fan's serious expression and nodded lightly.
She completely believed Ye Fan's words.
Because Ye Fan had promised her that he would never lie to her again.
"Where are we going now? Changbai Mountain? "Akatsuki asked Ye Fan.
Ye Fan nodded.
"Sato Kawa Kai and Fujita Takeshi should be at Changbai Mountain now. If we go there rashly, won't we arouse their suspicion?" Akatsuki asked.
"We can't alarm the two of them this time. We can only act secretly," Ye Fan replied.
"Why?" Ye Fan's words made Akatsuki very puzzled.
Matsumoto Takeyoshi had promised Ye Fan that he could act freely and without restraint as long as he was with her. Based on this, Ye Fan could swagger to Changbai Mountain and confirm whether the cauldron they found was one of the nine legendary cauldrons.
Why would such an open and aboveboard thing be done secretly? Akatsuki did not understand.
"You are really muddle-headed," Ye Fan smiled at Akatsuki, "Think about it, if we suddenly appeared in front of the two of them like this, how could Matsumoto Takeyoshi not be suspicious? You have to know that he did not inform the two of us about the discovery of the divine cauldron. This way, even a fool can guess that someone leaked the news. With Matsumoto Takeyoshi's methods and scheming, it would be easy for him to find out who the traitor is. At that time, not only will your fellow countryman lose his life, I'm afraid that you will be implicated as well. "
After hearing Ye Fan's words, Yue Hong Ji's forehead began to break out in cold sweat.
Ye Fan was right. Once the two of them were discovered, they would be in big trouble.
She only cared about helping Ye Fan find out about the divine cauldron and completely forgot that she was also taking a huge risk!
"Then what should we do now?" Akatsuki calmed herself down and asked Ye Fan, "Sato Kawa Kai and Fujita Takeshi must be guarding the divine cauldron right now. We can't get close at all."
"We will think of a way when we get there," Ye Fan replied.
"Okay." Akatsuki nodded.
Ye Fan did not say anything else. He urged the Auspicious Clouds under his feet and focused on hurrying.
The two of them traveled as fast as lightning, chasing after the stars and the moon.
After two hours, the two of them entered the Changbai Mountains.
It was almost dawn and the scenery below the Auspicious Clouds was reflected in their eyes.
Below them, there were layers upon layers of mountains, beautiful mountains and rivers, waterfalls rumbling, and forests undulating. It was a scene of thriving vitality.
Ye Fan saw that they had already entered the sky above the Changbai Mountains and immediately slowed down.
"We are here," Ye Fan looked down and said to Akatsuki beside him, "This is the Changbai Mountains."
"The mountains here are high and the forests are dense. The terrain is complicated. I wonder where the divine cauldron would be?" Akatsuki looked down at the dense forest and said with a frown.
