Chapter 665: Chapter 574: Formless Ancestor, Revisiting the Old Grounds

"Quick!"

Upon hearing the sudden ringing of the great cauldron, the two brothers immediately sprang up from the ground.

In a hurry, they ran to the side of the Huai State Tripod, resplendent and mountainous in its golden light.

Even though the dragon energy in this cauldron had not established an ownership relationship with them, regional rulers as they were, compared to the Yu State Tripod or the Dai State Tripod,

it still somewhat allowed the brothers to vaguely see the scene inside the cauldron.

They saw the liquefied dragon energy inside "crackling" furiously boiling, along with the three dragon eggs inside it, and the three Dragon Courts within the eggs all constantly rolling.

Moreover, the "Water Virtue Dragon Qi" that was gradually gathering from the Yang World’s Yong State,

far from replenishing the original energy consumption inside the cauldron, the old and new dragon energies conflicted with each other like rolling oil, boiling water, absolutely incompatible.

The conflict between them was so severe that even this solid, mountain-like quadruped giant tripod was slightly trembling.

It seemed unstable, its foundation shaken.

"This is a sacrificial treasure capable of stabilizing the empire, the Yu-cast Nine Cauldrons! How could it be easily shaken?"

Originally, Yu King had collected copper from Jiuzhou to cast the nine cauldrons.

He had artisans cast four of them with Female Gold under the Yingyang method to represent Yin, called Yin Tripods, and cast five with Xiong Gold under the Yingyang method to represent Yang, called Yang Tripods.

From being mere containers, cooking vessels, sacrificial vessels, ritual artifacts, to treasures, divine artifacts, the tripod gradually evolved into a divine object of national worship.

Those who successfully changed dynasties were called "stabilizing the tripod in the Central Plains" or "stabilizing the tripod across the land," symbolically even more significant than the Imperial Jade Seal.

It is said that during the Xia, Shang, and Zhou dynasties, the tripod’s clear water was always full to predict the climate’s fortune.

During the era of Xia Jie, the water in the tripod suddenly boiled; and towards the end of Zhou, all nine cauldrons quaked.

All were signs of imminent destruction!

Now, from the state of the dragon energy inside this cauldron, they could naturally also discern the current degree of "stabilizing the tripod" and the climate of various forces.

"It’s not so much that the Huai State Tripod is shaking, but rather that the system of Huai State itself is faltering.

’Innate Evil,’ this evasive thing from reincarnation, destroys the fundamental ’system that gathers the masses’ relied upon by mortals.

It can, like a borer, devastate the dynastic order, accelerating the collapse of the dynasty.

Now a large group of ’Innate Evil’ has banded together, establishing their own beastly dynasty.

The wishing power of millions of people was immediately contaminated by the ’Innate Evils’ ruling the beastly dynasty.

Using the pivot of the ’Mountain and River Country Formation,’ it reached directly to the core of this system at the bottom of Yin Department.

Currently, only one tripod is problematic, the other eight can still suppress it for now. If this situation spreads to three or four tripods, I’m afraid the situation will become decidedly irreversible."

Wang Yuan placed his hand on the large cauldron, his tone heavy.

Zhou Jinhuan also realized the seriousness of the issue.

"Exactly so.

Throughout the dynasties, although there have been absurd and unworthy dynasties, such as every Emperor of the Beiqi Gao Clan being like perverts or madmen,

a whole ruling layer consisting of madmen has never been seen throughout history.

The so-called beastly dynasty’s superficial rule over the mortal world is just one aspect of the poison.

A deeper disaster is that once they form a sweeping force through the ’Human Dao Torrent,’ it’s akin to blooming flowers in the backyard of the native Heavenly Dao.

Directly attacking Heavenly Dao itself, which represents ’order.’

So, with only five days left until the major event on July 22, God of Wealth’s birthday, we can only afford to succeed, not fail!

Let’s hope that no other forces under heretical leaders decide to join the party like the No-Life Dao."

Unfortunately, not all developments can go as one wishes.

Before they could return to worship at the Heavenly Altar with the Imperial Jade Seal, they heard again a series of sounds from a large cauldron.

Clang! Clang! Clang!...

This time, it was the Yong State Tripod corresponding to the westernmost Yong State of the Jiuzhou.

At the same time, the hearts of both men sank.

"What’s feared has come to pass.

Is this the ’All Appearances Dao’ of Yong State? Have they also taken down a complete state just like the No-Life Dao?"

Although only one year has passed since the central collapse,

within this Red County Divine Land, the first tier powers with the potential to claim the supreme position were gradually becoming clear.

The first, naturally, was King Jing Zhou Jinhuan, who already had multiple ’Martial Saints’ under his command, captured over ten thousand ’Daoist Soldiers,’ and occupied both Yu State and Dai State.

If not for the current phase where all new ’Martial Saints’ must be system masters, and after victory must be killed to completely seize the dragon energy,

the number of ’Martial Saints’ in his hand would have been even greater.

The second was the world’s first rebel, "No-Life Dao."

Based on the southern sects led by the Smell Fragrance Sect, they established the Ming King Army and the beastly dynasty.

At the beginning of the year, they amassed most of the remnants of the Yellow Heaven Divine System and the innately and postnatally ’Innate Evil’ flowing continuously from all over the country.

In a very short time, it swelled into the strongest army among the several dozen sects and vassals in the mortal world.

And until now, Wang Yuan and his companions still didn’t know that this Ming King was actually a partial reincarnation of the Old Buddha’s humanity.

The third contender, which was just mentioned as having taken down Yong State, was "All Appearances Dao!"

This Dao lineage was not at all unknown to Wang Yuan.

After all, in the beginning of his cultivation, his greatest reliance was the ’Gathering Beasts Magic Skill’ and ’Transformation into Tiger Technique’ from the ’Xiangshan Seventy-two Wonders’.

As everyone knows.

The ’Taoist Inheritance Artifact’ as a tangible embodiment of the sect’s Dao skills, can carry the insights, knowledge of generations of Taoist Masters, Sect Master Marshals, and disciples.

Through years of interactions and growth,

there’s a possibility of gradually transitioning from ’Yellow Department Taoism’s Dan Chapter Mystical Draft’ to ’Mystical Department Taoism’s Yellow Seal White Scroll’, ’Earth Department Taoism’s Green Record Purple Chapter’, and even ’Heavenly Department Daoism’s Three Heavens Undying Chapter’.
