Shen Yue took a long, long time to digest what the Longevity Cauldron had said before she came back to her senses. Seeing that she had recovered, the Longevity Cauldron thought she would at least exclaim in surprise or praise it, but although the shock on Shen Yue's face hadn't completely faded, she surprisingly didn't mention any of that. Instead, she looked at Feng Chen inside the cauldron and said to herself, "Since you followed His Majesty the Holy Emperor, perhaps we will have a chance to meet again in the future."
As long as I don't die!
She didn't say the last sentence out loud, but kept it hidden in her heart.
The Longevity Cauldron, hearing these sentimental words, didn't understand them, even after living for millions of years as a great cauldron. Feeling slightly bored, it stopped talking to this little girl. Really, Old Huang was more fun; Old Huang would praise me. These kids nowadays, can't they talk properly?
The Longevity Cauldron didn't speak, and neither did Shen Yue. After taking a deep look at Feng Chen, she sat cross-legged in front of the cauldron, waiting for Feng Chen to finish absorbing the dragon blood and then help him complete his final transformation!
Immersed in the state of absorbing dragon blood, Feng Chen didn't know about a side effect that would occur after he finished absorbing the dragon blood. Right now, he was concentrating on circulating the Dragon God Mystic Technique. The boiling dragon blood in the cauldron was entering his body through countless pores all over his body, merging with the human bloodline within him.
If Long Wushuang were still alive and saw this scene, he would definitely be so envious and jealous that he would vomit blood and die again. He had captured countless living beings to conduct bloodline fusion experiments, all for the sake of achieving this effect of harmonious fusion with his own bloodline, and in the end, the human bloodline was still dominant.
As the dragon blood entered Feng Chen's body, a certain organ in Feng Chen's body slowly burst forth with astonishing vitality.
...
On this day, a sudden gale arose above Flame City, dark clouds covered the sun, and lightning flashed and thunder rumbled, as if someone was undergoing tribulation.
The living beings in Flame City were greatly alarmed upon seeing this scene.
"A celestial phenomenon descends! Either a peerless treasure is being born, or a peerless genius is being born."
"Do you see that the location corresponding to the center of the phenomenon is the Longevity Tavern?"
"It really is. I haven't heard of anyone being pregnant in the Longevity Tavern. Could it be that a peerless treasure is being born?"
"Longevity Tavern..."
Mentioning the Longevity Tavern, some people gnashed their teeth, their eyes full of hatred, but they were helpless. Just the Fire Crow Old Ancestor alone was like a divine being to them, let alone the Longevity Tavern owner, whom even the Fire Crow Old Ancestor had to treat with respect. Even if they knew their enemy was inside the Longevity Tavern, they were helpless.
Even if a peerless treasure was born in the Longevity Tavern now, who would dare to seize it?
That's not seizing treasure, that's courting death!
"Hmph!"
All the anger and unwillingness ultimately turned into a cold snort of resentment that they dared not voice.
Inside the Longevity Tavern, Shen Yue, who had been guarding Feng Chen, was also awakened by the celestial phenomenon.
She looked up at the sky, her small mouth slightly open, and couldn't help but recall some ancient books that recorded the heavenly punishment faced when defying fate. Feng Chen's talent was mediocre. He was able to cultivate to the Nirvana Realm, Third Level, entirely because of the power of the Dragon God Mystic Technique. But without other opportunities, Feng Chen would be stuck in the Nirvana Realm for the rest of his life. Now, by absorbing dragon blood, he was changing his talent and physique, which was an act of defying fate. The Heavenly Dao would send down heavenly punishment. If he could withstand it, then Feng Chen's path of cultivation would be smooth in the future. If he couldn't withstand it, then...
Shen Yue's face turned pale. She looked at Feng Chen, who was at the most critical moment and couldn't be disturbed by the outside world.
"Even heavenly punishment will follow the rules of the Heavenly Dao and will not exceed the great realm of the person undergoing tribulation. Heavenly punishment at the peak of the Nirvana Realm, I... perhaps I can withstand it."
Shen Yue looked at Feng Chen, a trace of determination flashing across her face, and said, "You saved my life. Now it's my turn to save you."
"..." Longevity Cauldron.
"Little girl, do you think I don't exist?" the Longevity Cauldron said dissatisfied.
"Ah... Senior, I'm sorry, I forgot you were still here!" Shen Yue finally came back to her senses and remembered the Longevity Cauldron.
"Don't call me Senior, call me Cauldron Lord," the Longevity Cauldron said coolly.
"Cauldron Lord!"
"Aye, comfortable. It's been a long time since someone called me Cauldron Lord, hahahaha." A heroic laughter came from inside the Longevity Cauldron, the laughter soaring into the sky, directly dispersing all the phenomena.
"??" Shen Yue.
"???" Many living beings in Flame City.
"Whose laughter is this? It actually dispersed the heavenly punishment phenomenon. Could it be the owner of the Longevity Tavern who took action?"
"No, this is not the laughter of the Longevity Tavern owner. Hiss! This Longevity Tavern is actually hiding an invincible expert?"
Someone gasped, increasingly believing that the Longevity Tavern was unfathomable. Those who had no grudges with Feng Chen or Shen Yue were secretly rejoicing. These people had low cultivation levels and were not qualified to participate in the treasure map snatching. At that time, they were beating their chests and stamping their feet, regretting that they were not born at the right time. If they had been born a few years earlier, perhaps things would have been different. Now that they think about it, they are very grateful to their parents for letting them be born at the right time.
Those who had hunted down Shen Yue were pale. They were already afraid of the Longevity Tavern owner, and now there was another mysterious invincible expert. How would they live in the future?
Many people were already considering whether to move away from Flame City. Although they had a large family and business, it was better than being settled accounts with later.
But some people were still harboring侥幸 thoughts. The Longevity Tavern owner had not attacked them, so the mysterious expert naturally wouldn't either.
But these people forgot that their enemies were never Gu Changsheng, but Feng Chen and Shen Yue.
Inside the tavern, although Shen Yue had been mentally prepared, she didn't expect that Cauldron Lord would disperse the heavenly punishment phenomenon with just laughter.
"Cauldron Lord, can the Great Emperor do something as easily as you?" Shen Yue asked.
"Great Emperor?" The Longevity Cauldron's tone was disdainful, and said, "Little girl, heavenly punishment is not an ordinary thing. It is a part of the Heavenly Dao. If the Great Emperor takes action against heavenly punishment, it will only anger the Heavenly Dao and bring down even stronger heavenly punishment. Only those who transcend Immortals can ignore heavenly punishment."
"You actually wanted to withstand heavenly punishment for him just now. Aren't you courting death?"
"Cauldron Lord, have you transcended Immortals?" Shen Yue's pupils shrank, her tone shocked.
"Uh... not yet," the Longevity Cauldron said truthfully. It is now an Immortal Emperor weapon, equivalent to one of the Immortal Emperor's hands, and there is still a distance to break the Dao.
"Then..." Shen Yue was puzzled.
"Cauldron Lord, I have not transcended Immortals, but my master has transcended Immortals. I am my master's natal Emperor weapon, and I am stained with his aura. The mere heavenly punishment has already been frightened away by the aura of my master on my body," the Longevity Cauldron said proudly.
Shen Yue's mouth widened. The Longevity Cauldron's words were constantly refreshing her worldview. She used to think that the ancient sages were already able to traverse the heavens and the earth, but now hearing Cauldron Lord's words, it seemed that even Immortals were like ants in front of His Majesty the Holy Emperor. This completely shattered her worldview that had been cultivated for more than 20 years, and she even felt like she was living in a dream. Perhaps she had already died three years ago, and this was the legendary Elysium World?
"What are you thinking about? Complete your task properly. This kid is about to awaken."
The Longevity Cauldron's words pulled Shen Yue back from her inner world.
"Roar!"
At this moment, a fiery red divine dragon suddenly rushed out of the cauldron, soaring into the nine heavens, flying through the sky, swallowing clouds and spitting mist, overlooking the countless living beings of the Firecloud Ancient Star.
"Dragon, it's a dragon!"
"Heavens, the legends are true. A real dragon exists on our Firecloud Ancient Star! Heavens, I'm going crazy, ah..."
At this moment, all the living beings on Firecloud Ancient Star went crazy. The saintly ancestors of the major powerful races emerged from seclusion one after another, looking at the divine dragon in the sky above Flame City.
However, these saintly ancestors sensed something was wrong with the divine dragon in the sky.
"This is not a real dragon, this is a dragon soul!"
Immediately, someone recognized the essence of the divine dragon, and then revealed a fiery expression. Regardless of whether it was a real dragon or not, anything related to a real dragon was a priceless treasure that must be snatched.
Thus, many powerful auras from all directions rushed towards Flame City. These people were all eyeing the dragon soul in the sky.
