I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2371: 1071: Heavy Yuan Sword, Cleansing World Pot
Previously on I Have A Cultivation World...
Shetuoling looked like a blazing mountain range, but the spiritual energy hanging in the air felt surprisingly sparse.
The reason lay in the Heaven and Earth Xuanji Formation that had sealed the spirit vein in this place. Still, the Land of Ruins had always brimmed with spiritual energy from the start, so even with the seal in effect, potent beings managed to draw in some of the lingering essence.
Atop the trio of flame peaks in Shetuoling, golden fires burst into view, shaping themselves into three enormous beasts as grand as mountains themselves.
These creatures were the offspring of the Golden Flame Manticore, each reaching the pinnacle of the fourth rank. Golden fur cloaked their forms entirely, resembling flames leaping upward, gleaming with a blinding brilliance. On their foreheads sat three pairs of fiery, luminous eyes, like polished mirrors, shining with an awe-inspiring authority and command.
Their tails whipped about like blazing lashes, warping the empty space and unleashing waves of scorching heat.
Gazing at the Holy Land forces nearby, a deep rumble echoed from the depths of their throats, signaling the buildup to a massive eruption.
A deafening bellow rang out as their mighty legs propelled them from the peaks, resembling three blazing suns plummeting toward the ground. The atmosphere across the heavens and earth grew intensely hot in an instant, and Shetuoling's toxic fiery mist rushed outward straight at the Holy Land troops.
It was as though an ocean of flames had poured down, parching and splitting the soil below, while all nearby vegetation turned to dust in a flash.
Shenxi advanced, sweeping his pristine white horsetail whisk. Suddenly, a vast barrier of water materialized from nowhere, shielding the cultivators' forces under the heavens.
The instant the water clashed with the fire, a fierce blast tore through the sky.
Yet Shenxi proved himself as the cultivator nearest to the Divinity Transformation realm. Against three foes on his level, his Water Element True Qi roared forth with even greater force. In mere moments, an enormous river poured endlessly from his whisk, spawning fresh surges of waves even as the water shield broke apart.
Alongside the horrifying inferno, the three Golden Flame Manticores slammed down like erupting volcanoes. Their merged presence was utterly fearsome, capable of liquefying the void and the ground alike, but Shenxi alone bore the brunt of this assault.
“Truly worthy of being the Dao Morale Sect Master!”
Seeing this display, Hong Yun and the fellow Nascent Soul experts brimmed with respect.
Although they all stood at the Nascent Soul Complete stage, the best they could do was face a single adversary, whereas Shenxi managed three at once.
“We should assist as well, lest Shenxi’s true qi be overly depleted.”
Right then, Ni Yuanzhong voiced his thought, and the Azure Fall Palace Master next to him gave a faint nod.
They had confirmed earlier that the Rank-5 Golden Flame Manticore wasn't present in Shetuoling.
Therefore, no worries plagued them.
Ni Yuanzhong executed a sword art with his right hand, summoning a jet-black flying sword into the air. Despite the three Golden Flame Manticores' mountain-like might, they appeared as insignificant stones beside this blade.
This was the famed Heavy Yuan Sword from the East Continent, its dread reputation stemming from its immense heaviness.
Luo Yixuan had practiced the Blackwater Cultivation in her time, enabling her to form Mysterious Heavy Water post-Core Formation, where every drop tipped the scales at a thousand jun.
The Heavy Yuan Sword took that further, forged and elevated from “Xuan Yuan Heavy Water,” with each droplet weighing tens of thousands of jun.
Ni Yuanzhong’s version of the Heavy Yuan Sword came from Xuan Yuan Heavy Water, said to carry the staggering load of a million jun!
Should this blade land its blow, it could pulverize even a Fifth Rank Forged Body into powder.
As the Heavy Yuan Sword plunged downward, the three Golden Flame Manticores—restrained earlier by Shenxi’s Great River Dust Whisk—detected the peril ahead. Flames danced under their paws, ready to invoke their innate Fire Escape Technique and slip beyond the sword's reach.
But just then, silver light flashed in the Azure Fall Palace Master’s eyes, and an unseen void force flickered out, locking the three Golden Flame Manticores in place, rendering them immobile.
Were Chen Mobai present, he would instantly identify this as a Rank-5 Void Lock.
The Azure Fall Palace Master’s technique struck at the perfect instant, compelling the three Golden Flame Manticores to meet the Heavy Yuan Sword head-on.
Having reached the fourth rank's apex, armed with vast combat savvy and intellect rivaling humans, they let out synchronized roars upon sensing their bind, baring their savage jaws to spew torrents of flame laced with a horrifying sonic blast. Three robust streams of fire hammered into the Heavy Yuan Sword.
With the three sect leaders coordinating their efforts, Hong Yun had already directed the Burning Heaven Five Meridians' cultivators into a battle formation and then pulled out an old bronze vessel, hoisting it aloft.
This was the supreme heirloom of the Burning Heaven Five Meridians, the Cleansing World Pot!
It held the power to capture any flame beneath the skies, converting it into the Burning Heaven Purifying World Fire for the wielder's practice and tempering.
That said, nurturing the Burning Heaven Purifying World Fire demanded an Innate Fire Spirit Body to endure such overbearing True Fire. Following the death of Fen Tianjing Di, the sect's final Divinity Transformation cultivator, no successor arose who could handle this flame, which prompted the split into five meridians.
The Cleansing World Pot itself divided into three sections, the core kept by Fire Cloud Palace, the cover by Lie Yang Pavilion, and the rings claimed by Chi Xiao Mansion.
Moreover, the ritual incantation for refining the Cleansing World Pot split into two halves, guarded by Chi Yan Sect and Sun Bathing Sea.
As a result, unleashing this treasure's full might called for agreement across the Burning Heaven Five Meridians.
Through the chance of this expedition, employing diverse tactics and pledges, bolstered by the Dao Morale Sect's support, Hong Yun finally pulled it off after great effort.
This Cleansing World Pot, known as the bane of every fire in existence, could—if Hong Yun's realm allowed—ensnare even the Rank-5 Golden Flame Manticore's True Fire, reshaping it into his personal Burning Heaven Purifying World Fire.
