Chapter 62: Chapter 62 Two Principles and the Creation Cauldron

Sun Wukong left the Tusita Palace elated, with the newly refined spiritual guide artifact in hand, leaving behind the still stunned Grandmaster and two Daoist boys.

But after all, he was the Grandmaster, accustomed to tempests, and quickly came to understand that this monkey had just come to show off.

"Indeed, the heart of an ingenuous child, not bad, not bad," the Grandmaster praised in his heart, then said to the two boys with a smile, "Close the doors, I am going to meditate and seek the Dao in seclusion."

Golden Horn and Silver Horn, upon hearing this, were still not over the shock that Sun Wukong had brought upon them, and were again greatly startled. The Grandmaster was going to meditate in seclusion?

This was a matter of great significance; if word spread, it would likely shock all parties in the three realms.

Could it be that Sun Wukong’s artifact refining had touched the Grandmaster?

The two Daoist boys thought about this, yet did not dare to delay and hastily went to close the Daoist palace, temporarily refusing visitors.

Indeed, the powerhouses from all factions in Heaven who first received the news were all surprised and began speculating.

To enter seclusion was normal, and to seek the Dao was normal too, but to go into seclusion specifically to seek the Dao was different—that must have been spurred on by some insight.

...

Sun Wukong went straight back to the Great Sage Equalling Heaven’s residence, preferring to open the treasure box there rather than continue flaunting his might elsewhere.

Because it had been a long time since he had received a sixth-tier treasure box.

According to the guidance from the Persuasion System, the higher the grade of the treasure box, the greater the chance to unlock a supreme reward.

When he first received a sixth-tier treasure box at the Magic Square Mountain, he opened it to find the Nine Transformations Mysterious Primordial Technique, which was even more formidable than the number one cultivation technique of the Daoist sect. With this technique, coupled with his own innate talent, he ultimately blossomed the twelve-grade Great Dao Flower, realizing the highest quality Great Dao Fruit.

He later opened another one, from which he obtained the entry into the staff Daoist laws, as well as various cultivation levels, memories, and insights. Although these were not as good as the rewards from the first sixth-tier treasure box, his overall strength still greatly increased.

Now it was his third one—what would he get this time?

Sun Wukong’s consciousness sank into his mind, where he saw an ancient treasure box covered with mysterious patterns, hovering in the midst of his mind.

"Open!"

[You have opened a sixth-tier treasure box, congratulations on obtaining Staff Daoist Law Insight (Triple-layer), Archery Daoist Law Insight (Triple-layer), Introductory Artifact Daoist Law, Introductory Formation Daoist Law, and the Creation Cauldron]

A series of notification tones rang out, leaving Sun Wukong brimming with joy: "Hehe, good, good, good!"

First the staff Daoist law and the archery Daoist law–after many times of cumulative insight rewards, he had finally broken through to the triple-layer.

The Daoist laws of the Great Dao in the Quasi-Saint realm have twelve layers, every three layers signifying a level.

Once his cultivation reached the perfection of the Great Luo, he would have the chance to break through to the early stage of the Quasi-Saint, becoming one of the top experts among the Golden Immortals of the primordial chaos.

Because the way of law-proofing is the strongest!

Next, the introductory Artifact Daoist law and the Formation Daoist law pleased Sun Wukong immensely.

Just as he had anticipated, after learning artifact refining and formation restrictions, when he opened the box, there was a certain chance of acquiring the introductory insights into the corresponding Great Daoist laws.

Two different segments of memory insights merged into his existing memories, allowing him to instantly comprehend two Great Daoist laws. As his strength increased, his artifact refining level also took a qualitative leap forward.

Finally, the Creation Cauldron—Sun Wukong saw a dark three-legged round cauldron appear before him, decorated with fierce and intricate patterns, emanating an obscure and profound aura.

"The Persuasion System is still generous. I’ve been longing for a cauldron, and it has delivered," Sun Wukong said, scratching his ears and grinning.

What delighted him even more was that this turned out to be an exceptional innate spiritual treasure, no worse than the Grandmaster’s Eight Trigrams Furnace!

His newly acquired memories told him that the Creation Cauldron and the Qiankun Cauldron were of the same origin, both being spiritual treasures split from the shattered Chaos Cauldron, each with the ability to reverse what’s innate and refine innate spiritual treasures.

"I wonder where the Qiankun Cauldron is now. If I could make both mine, wouldn’t I be able to remake the Chaos Cauldron?" Sun Wukong whimsically pondered.

However, he immediately felt that the idea was not realistic.

Just as a broken mirror can hardly be made whole again, even if he were to combine the Creation Cauldron with the Qiankun Cauldron, it would not be the original Chaos Cauldron.

"Hmm, do not be greedy," the glint in Sun Wukong’s eyes shimmered with wisdom. Even the Grandmaster uses only the finest of Innate Spiritual Treasure cauldrons.

...

Refining Fire Hall, Craftwork Division.

With time to spare, Sun Wukong once again visited this place.

At that moment, Quasi-Saint Yu Yuan of Solitary Star and his four disciples, Wen Huang, gazed upon the Godspeed boots with perplexity, for the boots appeared no different from ordinary magical treasures.

"These are Spirit-Guiding Devices," Sun Wukong released a stream of mana into the boots.

On the surface of the crimson boots, mysterious spirit patterns streaked by, and like growing legs of their own, they transformed into a phantom and dashed through the air at high speed.

Witnessing this sight, Wen Huang’s four disciples, Zhou, Li, Zhu, Yang, were incredulous. They had painstakingly researched how to etch spirit patterns into magical treasures, and yet Sun Wukong had already crafted a finished product!

By their estimate, it would take centuries to solve such a difficult challenge.

How long had Sun Wukong taken? Not even a quarter hour had passed in the heavens!

Quasi-Saint Yu Yuan was equally astonished. He knew that Sun Wukong had gone to seek guidance on the Path of Artifact Refining in the Daoist abode.

But Sun Wukong had previously known nothing of Artifact Refining. How could he become a master in such a short time and craft a Spirit-Guiding Device?

"Great Saint, you didn’t have the Grandmaster craft it, did you?" Yu Yuan asked cautiously.

"I knew you wouldn’t believe me," Sun Wukong snickered coldly, and he headed straight to the forge, determined to craft another piece then and there.

Yu Yuan, suspecting there might be a catch, had Craftwork Commander Wu Wenhua prepare an independent refining chamber for him.

When a new Spirit-Guiding Device emerged from the furnace for all to see, everyone exchanged bewildered glances.

Whether it was Sun Wukong’s innate talent for Artifact Refining or the successful creation of the Spirit-Guiding Device, both seemed beyond belief.

"Heh heh." Seeing the expressions of the crowd, Sun Wukong felt quite pleased and was ready to leave for another location.

However, Yu Yuan stopped him and made a request, "Great Saint, I have an audacious favor to ask. The celestial martial competition is approaching, and I wonder if you would permit us to use the Spirit-Guiding Devices in the competition?"

"Oh, the martial competition?" the spark in Sun Wukong’s lively eyes flickered.

"It’s a grand gathering of the Three Realms founded by His Majesty after the Divine Enthronement War," Yu Yuan explained. "It’s held once a year in the heavens, where strong forces from all over the Three Realms can participate.

The competition is divided into Alchemy, Artifact Refining, Formation, and Talisman categories, with rewards for the victors."

"From your words, it seems there’s more to it?" Sun Wukong inquired.

"Indeed," Yu Yuan admitted with a wry smile. "Almost every year, the competition ends with our sect, the Teaching of Intercepting, and the Rival Teaching of Elucidating facing off in the end,

but among the four categories, we consistently lose to the Elucidating Teaching due to Artifact Refining, followed by Talismans.

If we could use the Spirit-Guiding Devices you’ve created at this year’s competition, we would certainly emerge victorious!"

"Interesting, very interesting," Sun Wukong scratched his face, already disliking the Teaching of Elucidating and inwardly agreeing, but he still asked, "What’s in it for Old Sun?"

"If we win, all the rewards from the Teaching of Intercepting will be yours," Yu Yuan earnestly proposed.

"You have that authority?" Sun Wukong questioned, seeing him as nothing more than a minor Craftwork Commander.

"Great Saint, you may not be aware," Yu Yuan said with a smile, "my master is the Star Lord of Water Virtue, Yu Yuan, and my grandmaster is the Golden Spirit Saint Mother, Jin Ling."

"I see," Sun Wukong nodded in understanding, aware that the Golden Spirit Saint Mother was a direct disciple of the Saint of the Teaching of Intercepting—he had heard of this before.

He then generously disclosed the method of crafting Spirit-Guiding Devices to Yu Yuan and the four disciples of Wen Huang.

The rewards of the Teaching of Intercepting’s victory were not important to him; he simply relished the idea of seeing the Teaching of Elucidating defeated.
