"Sir, could it be that you want to collect all the patterns on the nine divine cauldrons and obtain the legendary ancient secret technique?" The Centipede Spirit frowned and asked Ye Fan.
It had lived for more than a thousand years, so of course it knew all kinds of ancient secrets.
This included the legend of the nine cauldrons.
"That's right, that's what I was thinking." Ye Fan said and told the Centipede Spirit about his encounter.
"No wonder you became the Demon King. So that's how it is." The Centipede Spirit listened to Ye Fan's story and nodded.
What happened at the Demon Slaying Conference had spread throughout the Three Realms. Therefore, although it lived in seclusion on this mountain, it still heard about it.
"How many divine cauldrons have you found?" The Centipede Spirit looked up and asked Ye Fan.
"I have five of the nine cauldrons' patterns." Ye Fan told it the truth.
The Centipede Spirit nodded.
It was not surprised by Ye Fan's words.
With Ye Fan's current cultivation, it was not difficult for him to obtain five of the divine cauldrons' patterns. The difficult part was how to find the remaining divine cauldrons.
"Brother, you have lived in this world for a long time. Do you have any information about the divine cauldrons?" Ye Fan saw that the Centipede Spirit did not look surprised. He guessed that it might know something about the nine cauldrons, so he asked.
He didn't expect that his casual question would actually yield a valuable clue.
"Now that you've asked, I'm reminded of a place." The Centipede Spirit lowered its head and thought. It muttered to itself, "That place might really have a divine cauldron."
"Where is it?" Ye Fan's eyes lit up as he asked the Centipede Spirit.
"More than eighty years ago, I was invited by a good friend to his cave abode in the Western Region as a guest." The Centipede Spirit looked up at Ye Fan and said, "At the banquet, I heard it say something."
"What is it?" Ye Fan asked.
"That friend of mine is a scorpion that has cultivated for more than eight hundred years. He likes to transform into a handsome young man and travel around," said the Spider Spirit. "After he drank, he told me that he found a barrier on top of a volcano near the Western Region. It was very powerful. Even though it had cultivated for more than eight hundred years, it couldn't move the barrier at all."
"Is there such a thing?" Ye Fan was delighted to hear that.
A powerful barrier was found within the volcano. It was most likely where the divine cauldron was located.
"My friend has two hobbies. Apart from traveling, he also likes to hunt for all kinds of rare treasures," the Centipede Spirit continued. "He thinks that since the barrier is so strong, there must be a secret treasure hidden inside. Therefore, he specially invited me over for a drink. Firstly, it has been many years since we last met, and secondly, because I was full of spirit energy and my cultivation was overbearing, he wanted me to help him open the barrier and obtain the treasure inside."
"You attacked?" Ye Fan asked the Centipede Spirit.
"It's my duty to help a good friend." The Centipede Spirit nodded.
"What was the result?" Ye Fan continued to ask.
"That barrier is too powerful. I've never seen such a powerful barrier before." The Centipede Spirit shook its head and said, "Even with my thousand years of cultivation and my friend's eight hundred years of cultivation, the two of us couldn't shake the barrier at all."
"Other than being strong, what else is special about that barrier?" Ye Fan's eyes lit up as he asked again.
"That barrier is like an abyss. Our combined attack was completely absorbed by the barrier like a clay ox entering the sea. Then, it instantly bounced back the same way it came. The strength of the barrier is almost twice as strong as our combined attack!" The Centipede Spirit's expression changed as it said this. "If the two of us hadn't run fast enough, we would have been engulfed by the volcanic lava and buried in the volcano!"
Although this matter had happened more than eighty years ago, the Centipede Spirit still had lingering fear when it thought of that scene.
"It's the divine cauldron, it's the divine cauldron!" Ye Fan excitedly muttered to himself.
When he had attacked the divine cauldron barrier at the bottom of the Sishui River, he had encountered the situation that the Centipede Spirit had described.
All the power he had released had been instantly rebounded by the barrier!
At that time, he had not been bedeviled and did not have the power of the Heavenly Demon. He had also not cultivated the Mysterious Sky Secret Technique to the third realm, 'Phoenix Dance of the Nine Heavens'. Naturally, he could not break the barrier!
"Is the thing inside the barrier really the ancient divine cauldron?" The Centipede Spirit asked when it saw Ye Fan's joyful expression.
"I won't hide it from you. The first time I tried to break the barrier of the divine cauldron, I encountered the same situation as you did." Ye Fan smiled and said to the Centipede Spirit, "I'm sure that the thing inside the barrier is definitely the divine cauldron!"
"No wonder, no wonder …" The Centipede Spirit nodded.
It was said that the barrier of the ancient divine cauldron could only be broken by the power of an immortal. It seemed that it was true.
"I wonder where that volcano is in the Western Region? Does it have a name?" Ye Fan asked the Centipede Spirit.
"The name of that volcano is very long. I don't remember what it's called anymore." The Centipede Spirit replied, "I only remember that the area within a radius of ten miles around the volcano was covered in dry rocks. Not a single blade of grass grew."
Ye Fan frowned when he heard that.
Most volcanoes were like that. It was impossible to find their exact location with just this clue.
"We've been talking for so long, but I still don't know your name." Ye Fan asked the Centipede Spirit.
The Centipede Spirit smiled when it heard that. "I'm a centipede, so I took the surname Wu. My name is Gong."
"Centipede?" Akatsuki asked with a frown.
"Wu is Tian Wu, and Gong is Young Master's Gong." The Centipede Spirit laughed.
Ye Fan smiled brightly after hearing that. "Brother Wu really has a character. He actually thought of such a name."
The Centipede Spirit smiled but didn't say anything.
"I wonder if Brother Wu can come with me to the Western Region and help me find that volcano?" Ye Fan asked.
It was actually very easy to find that volcano. All he had to do was bring him along.
"Mister, you don't know. Ever since I failed to transcend my tribulation, I lost all my Spirit Qi. The Yin and Yang in my body are in chaos, and my Five Elements lack metal," the Centipede Spirit said to Ye Fan. "Although I've accumulated some Spirit Qi over the past few decades, I still can't leave the metal Qi of the Transient Light Cave Cauldron. In addition, I've already adapted to the climate here. If I go to the scorching Western Region, the Yin and Yang Qi in my body will be reversed. Therefore, it's not that I don't want to help. I really can't leave. "
After hearing that, Ye Fan nodded thoughtfully.
The Centipede Spirit was right. He really couldn't leave the Transient Light Cave Cauldron.
What should he do?
Ye Fan frowned.
"Mister, you don't have to worry. I have a way." The Centipede Spirit saw Ye Fan's troubles and said.
"What way?" Ye Fan raised his head and asked.
"Although I can't go there, I can ask my friend to take you there," the Centipede Spirit said with a smile. "I'll use the Thousand Mile Sound Transmission Technique to inform him and ask him to come and receive you, mister."
After hearing that, Ye Fan secretly scolded himself for being foolish.
The Centipede Spirit wasn't the only one who knew the location of the volcano. The Scorpion Spirit also knew!
"That's a good idea. But how do I find your friend?" Ye Fan asked the Centipede Spirit.
"That's easy." The Centipede Spirit said with a smile, "As long as mister rides a cloud to the Western Region, my friend will naturally find mister's location."
"Oh?" Ye Fan was shocked. "Brother Wu's friend has such a method?"
"Hahaha … Mister, you're thinking too much." The Centipede Spirit waved his hand and said with a smile, "My friend's methods are ordinary, but he's extremely sensitive to the auspicious aura of treasures. That can't be helped. He likes those rare treasures. The aura of treasures on mister's body surges to the sky and is surrounded by auspicious aura. Not to mention anything else, just based on mister's treasured robe, that fellow will be able to sense mister's location. "
"So that's how it is." Ye Fan was enlightened.
As the saying goes, 'Every profession has its own specialization.' The Scorpion Spirit actually had such an ability.
"My friend's surname is Xie, and his name is Zijing." The Centipede Spirit said with a smile, "Mister, when you see him, you can just call him Old Xie."
"Scorpion Spirit, Xie Zijing." Akatsuki said with a smile, "The two of you have come up with such interesting names."
"Names are just code names," the Centipede Spirit said with a smile.
"Brother Wu, since that's the case, I won't stay any longer." Ye Fan cupped his hands and said to the Centipede Spirit, "After I rescue my beloved wife, I'll definitely come and visit you, Brother Wu."
"Then I'll be waiting for mister here." The Centipede Spirit said with a smile.
"Brother Wu, goodbye." Ye Fan said goodbye to the Centipede Spirit.
"Mister, take care." The Centipede Spirit returned the courtesy.
Ye Fan nodded and gently waved his sleeve at his feet.
Whoosh …
A large group of Auspicious Clouds quickly gathered under their feet, carrying their bodies out of the pavilion and into the sky …
At that moment, Yamada Shingo, whose face was covered with a veil and whose clothes were as white as snow, was carrying Matsumoto Takeyoshi who was wearing a gray robe and flying in the sky above the East Sea. They were riding the wind!
Matsumoto Takeyoshi's face was covered with a gray scarf, and only his eyes were exposed.
Although Yamada Shingo did not know the Cloud Riding Technique, the speed of riding the wind was not any slower than the Auspicious Clouds.
Amidst the sea breeze, the two of them flew rapidly toward the south of the East Sea.
In less than half an hour, the two of them had flown hundreds of miles.
"Mr. Matsumoto, we're here."
The man in white looked at a small green island on the sea below and turned his head to speak to Matsumoto Takeyoshi.
"Mm." Matsumoto Takeyoshi, who was lying on the back of the man in white, grunted in acknowledgment.
"Hold on tight, we're going down."
As the man in white spoke, he activated his movement skill and slowly descended toward the small island.
After a while, the two of them landed on the small island.
The small island was not big, and it was only about ten acres in size. The island was covered with lush trees and bushes. As far as the eye could see, it was a beautiful place with beautiful scenery.
Swoosh swoosh swoosh …
As soon as the two of them landed on the ground, more than ten shadows appeared from the trees, rocks, ground, and sea around them!
In the blink of an eye, more than ten ninjas with veils covering their faces and swords in their hands surrounded the two of them!
These ninjas were wearing similar clothes, but their colors were different. They were divided into green, red, white, black, and yellow!
Five Elements Ninjas?
The man in white raised his eyebrows and looked at the ninjas with his eagle eyes.
"Who are you?" The leader of the ninjas, who was dressed in green, asked in fluent Mandarin.
"Mr. Matsumoto is here. Don't be rude!" The man in white said coldly.
Matsumoto Takeyoshi slowly removed the scarf that was wrapped around his head.
Swoosh!
The moment Matsumoto Takeyoshi revealed his face, all the ninjas immediately raised their swords and knelt on one knee!
"Greetings, my lord!" Everyone said in Japanese and lowered their heads!
