Chapter 1063: Chapter 1082: The Fallen Primordial Spirit
However, Ye Xuan’s heart was telling him that he really wanted to kill the Primordial Spirit now, so he was hesitating, not knowing whether he should annihilate the Primordial Spirit.
“Hoo!”
Suddenly, under the tense gaze of the Primordial Spirit and Lu Ya, Ye Xuan slowly exhaled a breath of stale air. In the end, he did not strike to kill the Primordial Spirit, because the Future Body’s warning still affected him.
“I may not kill you, but I need you to answer a few questions for me.” Ye Xuan spoke lowly.
“You… you’re not going to kill me?”
Hearing Ye Xuan’s words, the Primordial Spirit was stunned on the spot, simply unable to believe his ears.
If anyone in this world knows Ye Xuan best, the Primordial Spirit would dare to say it is definitely himself, because he cultivated Ye Xuan and watched him reach where he is today. No one understands Ye Xuan’s personality and methods more than the Primordial Spirit.
Now that Ye Xuan says he won’t kill him, it’s simply unbelievable, it’s practically a fantasy.
“Ye Xuan, what are you planning?”
The Primordial Spirit looked at Ye Xuan with a face full of seriousness. He knew his own disciple too well; Ye Xuan not killing him is definitely not due to any master-disciple relationship, nor could it be out of pity for him.
“Luo Hou told me about your origins. Now, as long as you answer some questions, I might not kill you.” Ye Xuan said softly.
“Luo Hou?”
The Primordial Spirit said with a grim face, “What do you want to know?”
Buzz!
Suddenly, Ye Xuan reached out his hand, and the Bronze Immortal Scripture appeared. Ye Xuan flipped through the scripture pages, and the Small Cauldron on the pages appeared in the Primordial Spirit’s view.
“I want to know the origin of this Small Cauldron and the Undying Immortal Scripture.” Ye Xuan said bluntly.
“Void-breaking Heavenly Cauldron?”
The face of the Primordial Spirit changed dramatically, and he was stunned into speechlessness, simply unable to believe his eyes.
“Impossible, how could it be? The Void-breaking Heavenly Cauldron is a product of the Chaos Great World, how could you possibly obtain it?”
“Could it be that Pangu managed to steal even the Void-breaking Heavenly Cauldron back then?” the Primordial Spirit trembled and muttered.
Seeing the Primordial Spirit’s shocked expression, Ye Xuan’s eyes brightened; the other party indeed knows the origin of the Small Cauldron.
“Go on, what’s the origin of this Small Cauldron and what is its connection to the Undying Immortal Scripture?” Ye Xuan said in a deep voice.
The mysterious Small Cauldron was of great help to Ye Xuan; his Tribulation Immortal Transformation, Tribulation Immortal Devouring, and even Silent Annihilation Battle Armor were all derived from the three mysterious Small Cauldrons.
Each time he obtained one Small Cauldron, it brought him unimaginable opportunities; these three Small Cauldrons provided him with immense help. Without them, Ye Xuan might have died unknown years ago.
“This cauldron is called the Void-breaking Heavenly Cauldron, a supreme treasure of the Undying Heavenly Palace…” the Primordial Spirit seemed to be lost in memory, starting to introduce the mysterious Small Cauldron’s origin.
Chaos legend.
The fact that the Undying Heavenly Lord was able to create the Undying Immortal Scripture was all thanks to the Void-breaking Heavenly Cauldron, and also because of the three Small Cauldrons that the Undying Immortal Scripture could be created.
Moreover, the Undying Heavenly Lord also acquired great Creation from reversing Chaos Heaven and Earth through these three Small Cauldrons, becoming a Supreme existence in the Chaos Great World.
Furthermore, there is a legend in the Chaos Great World that the Void-breaking Heavenly Cauldron is divided into nine, and that the Undying Heavenly Lord possessed three of them, while the location of the remaining six is unknown. If someone can gather all nine, they would dominate the entire Chaos Great World, becoming an unrivaled existence.
Of course, this is merely a legend, and nobody knows if it’s true, but this legend has been circulating throughout the Chaos Great World.
Upon hearing the Primordial Spirit’s narrative, Ye Xuan’s eyes lit up slightly; he had already known that the mysterious Small Cauldron was not simple but didn’t expect it to have such a great origin.
“So, these three Small Cauldrons are the possessions of the Undying Heavenly Lord?” Ye Xuan said in a deep voice.
“It should be correct. If I’m not mistaken, back then Pangu entered the Heavenly Dao Nine Tribulations so quickly because of these three Small Cauldrons.”
“But I never thought Pangu stole not only the Undying Immortal Scripture and the Heavenly Punishment Halberd but even the three Small Cauldrons of the Undying Heavenly Lord.”
The Primordial Spirit murmured heavily, looking at Ye Xuan with extreme complexity, because finally, at this moment, he understood that it was precisely these three Void-breaking Heavenly Cauldrons that had helped Ye Xuan reach where he was today; otherwise, how could he have escaped his control?
“Ridiculous, ridiculous indeed, never thought that I racked my brains to cultivate you, yet overlooked these Void-breaking Heavenly Cauldrons, which let me fall to this situation today.” The Primordial Spirit gave a self-deprecating smile, his eyes filled with bitterness.
Looking at the Primordial Spirit’s desolate appearance, Ye Xuan’s expression was calm as he said, “Primordial Spirit, do you know where you lost?”
“Lost where?”
The Primordial Spirit sneered, “Ye Xuan, don’t be so smug. If it weren’t for you coincidentally obtaining these three Void-breaking Heavenly Cauldrons, you wouldn’t have made it this far, nor would you have the qualification to converse with me now.”
“Heh!”
Ye Xuan laughed, but his smile was contemptuous, a scorn that deeply provoked the Primordial Spirit, making him clench his fists tightly, completely perceiving Ye Xuan’s disdain.
“Why are you laughing? Am I wrong?” The Primordial Spirit roared angrily.
“Luo Hou wasn’t wrong about you; you are too calculated and lack an Invincible Heart, unable to truly self-reflect.” Ye Xuan responded with contempt.
“Who does Luo Hou think he is? Among the three thousand Demon Gods, he’s ranked below me, and even back in the Chaos Great World, he had to address me as Primordial Spirit Lord when he saw me.”
The Primordial Spirit roared in fury, he could endure anyone ignoring him, but Ye Xuan’s disregard ignited his utmost wrath at that moment.
His own disciple, cultivated by his hand, was now mocking him, a situation that simply made the Primordial Spirit’s chest ready to explode, further infuriated as he bellowed at Ye Xuan.
“That’s why, this is where you’re inferior to Luo Hou.” Ye Xuan spoke indifferently.
“In what way am I inferior to him, Luo Hou?”
The Primordial Spirit’s face flushed, accepting that he wasn’t Ye Xuan’s opponent, but finding it hard to accept that Ye Xuan claimed he was inferior to Luo Hou.
“Back in the battle among the three thousand Demon Gods against Pangu, you, the Primordial Spirit, seized the Undying Immortal Scripture and the Heavenly Punishment Halberd, which was your greatest opportunity, but you didn’t dare cultivate this Cultivation Technique because you were scared, you feared the Heavenly Dao Nine Tribulations, feared death under the Heavenly Dao Nine Tribulations, which ultimately led to my existence.”
“You wanted me to serve as a wedding dress for you, to help you surpass the Heavenly Dao Nine Tribulations and fulfill yourself.”
“Of course, you did quite well, achieving the Cultivation level of the Heavenly Dao Seven Tribulations, but haven’t you noticed you’re terrified of the arrival of the Heavenly Dao Eighth Tribulation, having never formed an Invincible Heart, let alone crossing the Heavenly Dao Nine Tribulations to become that Saint of all beings?”
Ye Xuan spoke extensively, directly hitting the Primordial Spirit’s sore spot, leaving his face white as he stood dumbly on the spot.
“The Heavenly Dao Nine Layer Tribulation, each layer represents life or death. Overcoming each brings not only Cultivation advancement but also a process of forming the Invincible Heart.”
“Primordial Spirit, even if you strategize through infinite time, even if I return the Cultivation of the Heavenly Dao Seven Tribulations to you, just look at yourself now. Do you possess the semblance of a strong cultivator? You can’t even unleash the combat power of the Heavenly Dao Seven Tribulations because you never grasped the mortal peril that comes with surviving each layer of tribulation.” Ye Xuan coldly reprimanded.
“Do you know why you are inferior to me and Luo Hou?” Ye Xuan coldly asked.
“Wh… why?” The Primordial Spirit stammered.
“Because you fear death, you’re utterly afraid of death. It’s due to this fear that you’ve been hiding within the Three Realms, trying to manipulate me to achieve your purpose.”
“But you forgot a crucial thing: on the path to becoming the Supreme of eternity, you can only rely on yourself. Without enduring countless sufferings, how can you achieve becoming the Saint of saints, or step onto the path to becoming the Supreme of eternity?”
“From the very start, you went astray, never comprehending the true essence of Cultivation, which is why I say you’re not as good as Luo Hou.”
Ye Xuan’s words were like a morning bell ringing and evening drum beating, resounding heavily in the Primordial Spirit’s ears, leaving him speechless, only his body trembling uncontrollably.
“Don’t mention me returning the Cultivation of the Heavenly Dao Seven Tribulations to you. Even if I surpass the Heavenly Dao Nine Tribulations, becoming the Saint of saints and bestowing you with all my power, what of it?”
“Without an Invincible Heart, the power of the Saint of saints will burst your Dao Heart because without undergoing the trials of the Heavenly Dao Nine Tribulations, you simply can’t control the power of the Saint of saints.”
Ye Xuan was fiercely criticizing the Primordial Spirit, who completely fell silent, unsure of what he was contemplating.
