Chapter 371: Chapter 301 Nanming Leaving Fire and Bright Moon Spirit Cauldron

In the Void, a flash of silver light signaled the arrival of Fang Xing’s true self.

His aura surged around him, resembling a red sun emerging from a sea of clouds. Within that red sun, the true form of the Great Sun Tathagata slowly pushed out a palm!

The first move of the Great Sun Tathagata Divine Palm—Great Sun Illumination!

Light!

Infinite Light! Infinite Life!

Above and below, it seemed there was only this red sun.

The Great Sun True Fire enveloped Master Tian Kun, eliciting a scream of agony as his spiritual treasures began to melt.

Then...

Black qi surged around Master Tian Kun, revealing a fierce ghostly visage beneath it.

Under this ghostly face, he barely managed to keep his flesh from disintegrating, as a plump Nascent Soul emerged from the top of his head and instantly slipped into the Void.

As he abandoned his physical body, the body beneath the ghostly face collapsed and completely turned to ash.

"Run? Can you escape?"

Fang Xing’s true self sneered coldly, and the Great Sun Tathagata form extended its five fingers before striking another palm.

Golden swastika runes sealed all directions, accompanied by the sound of Buddhist chants, as if it were Buddha-land within the palm.

The golden hand of the Great Sun Tathagata reached into the Void and grabbed a plump Nascent Soul, which bore the exact face of Master Tian Kun!

At this moment, the Nascent Soul had its eyes tightly shut, unconscious, with a gold swastika rune slowly rotating on its forehead.

On the wrist of the Nascent Soul was a green bracelet.

"Good... I finally have the materials needed for the advancement of the Wanfa Ghost Infant."

Fang Xing’s Divine Sense swept over and took the green bracelet, feeling the immense space inside it.

He had yet to break the Divine Sense Imprint, however, unable to truly utilize it.

"Hmm... The technology for making storage bags in the Hanhai Immortal Cultivation World seems to surpass that of the Great Wilderness Cultivation World..."

His mind stirred, watching his cultivation avatar tidy up the battlefield and capture the Core Formation True Lady he had let slip away before. The two side by side transformed into streaks of light and disappeared into the horizon.

...

On an uninhabited island,

Fang Xing gently descended, only to see the camouflage color fade away, revealing a spaceship full of sci-fi style.

Since advancing to the Nascent Soul, as a high-level cultivator of this realm, he wasn’t too concerned about standing out.

After all, could the cultivators of this world, with their wildest imaginations, ever guess that he was a transmigrator?

They would probably just consider the spaceship a large mechanical fortress.

’However... if they observe closely and discover the Explorer’s completely unique Artifact Refining style, they might think I’ve inherited the celestial mechanisms and refining techniques of the Upper Realm.’

With his true self as a guard, Fang Xing’s cultivation avatar didn’t hesitate to use the Soul Searching Technique on the female Jiedan Cultivator!

He wasn’t some kind-hearted fool; after being dragged into this mess, he needed to understand the whole story.

...

Soon, accompanied by the unconscious female Core Formation True Lady’s twisted expression of pain...

Fang Xing gradually understood the whole story, which even implicated a thousand-year-old love-hate relationship.

A thousand years ago, during the time of the Ancient Demon Chaos, many events had unfolded.

Not to mention the fall of the Great True Monarchs and the destruction of numerous Nascent Soul Sects.

More crucial was the collapse of the Primordial Spirit Sword Sect, which triggered a major reshuffling of the power dynamics between the Inner and Outer Seas.

The impact was even more significant than the previous destruction caused by the Ancient Demons and continued to this day.

It was only because two Holy Lands maintained order that a war spanning the entire Cultivation World did not break out.

Still, the shifts in the Nascent Soul forces over these thousand years were unprecedented and intense.

As for the Core Formation level families and sects, their rises and falls were even more rapid.

"This woman, known as the ’Holy Daughter of Yin Moon,’ comes from the Tianyin Sect... The Tianyin Sect and the South Fire Sect both originate from the same Dao lineage of a thousand years ago, from the ’Great True Monarch of Yin and Yang.’ This True Monarch of Yin and Yang was an immensely powerful Nascent Soul Late Stage Great True Monarch. After passing away, his disciples split into two groups; one formed the South Fire Sect, and the other established the Tianyin Sect, which later became as incompatible as fire and water... This was because the Great True Monarch’s Cultivation Technique required balancing Yin and Yang, with ’Water and Fire divisions.’ Unfortunately, his disciples were mediocre, unable to practice the combined technique, and could only cultivate Water Attribute Technique or Fire Attribute Technique individually... Over time, this even led to enmity between them."

"Both the South Fire Sect and the Tianyin Sect claimed to be the true inheritors of the Great True Monarch and accused each other of embezzling the master’s treasures when they separated..."

"The Tianyin Sect later discovered that the South Fire Sect indeed secretly kept one of the master’s treasures, a Fourth Rank ’Bright Moon Spirit Cauldron,’ which specialized in refining various Yin Attribute Elixirs, an invaluable treasure for the Tianyin Sect. Thus, they coveted it greatly..."

"After making thorough preparations, the number one expert of the Tianyin Sect, True Monarch Hao Yue, took action. He distracted and restrained the South Fire Sect’s number one expert, True Monarch Huo Yun, then created chaos, instructing the Holy Daughter of Yin Moon to move..."

"And then, after she successfully got her hands on it, she was discovered and had to break into the Sea Market to protect herself, intending to escape to the Inner Sea... And that’s how she dragged me into this."

Fang Xing looked at the Holy Daughter of Yin Moon and flicked his finger.

Pop!

The well-known female Core Formation True Lady from the Outer Sea instantly had her head separated from her body!

He casually picked up her storage bag and found inside a few magic treasures, Spirit Stones, Elixirs, and other miscellaneous items.

Fang Xing gave a slight smile, silently recited a spell, and pointed a finger.

The headless female corpse’s clothes split open, revealing a smooth back.

A dimly lit epiphyllum tattoo suddenly emerged on her back and then slowly blossomed.

"The secret techniques of the Hanhai Immortal Cultivation World are indeed quite remarkable... Although this kind of secret technique, which conceals items within the body, can only hide them temporarily, it can evade most inspections,"

he thought. "Moreover, without soul searching to know the mnemonic, it is really impenetrable."

As the epiphyllum bloomed, the surrounding void suddenly trembled.

A small, four-footed white cauldron emerged from within the flower and steadily landed in the cabin.

It was petite, much smaller than the Ten Thousand Transformation Cauldron, yet it carried a kind of soft charm.

On both sides of the small cauldron, there was a rabbit-shaped Exotic Beast head as decoration.

The entire cauldron was enveloped in a layer of hazy white light, which clearly indicated its extraordinariness at a glance.

"Is this the Fourth Rank ’Bright Moon Spirit Cauldron’? Indeed, it seems very suitable for refining Yin Attribute elixirs..."

Fang Xing calculated the time, then immediately commanded, "Little Green, open the skylight!"

The deck of the spaceship Explorer immediately opened up, revealing the scene outside.

It was night at the time, and a bright moon was suspended high above in the Nine Heavens.

An astonishing scene occurred!

Under the moonlight, the white light on top of the Bright Moon Spirit Cauldron suddenly intensified, and strands of moonlight were drawn down, falling into the body of the cauldron.

A moment later, Fang Xing opened the Bright Moon Spirit Cauldron and saw a thin layer of Moon Dew Essence at the bottom of the cauldron.

"Moon Dew Essence is a Third Rank Heaven and Earth Spiritual Item, incredibly suitable for female cultivators undergoing Core Formation to consume... and even more miraculous when used to irrigate Spirit Grass."

"If used in alchemy, the Third Rank Moonlight Pill would be considered top grade among pills."

"What’s more, this Moon Dew Essence is just the work of a single night, according to the memory of the Tianyin Sect’s Holy Daughter... The Bright Moon Spirit Cauldron, when absorbing the power of Taiyin to its heart’s content, can condense a portion of ’Moon Dew Essence’ in a day and night, harvest a portion of ’Taiyin Essence’ in a year, and if ten years were to pass... it could refine a portion of ’Emperor Liquid’..."

Emperor Liquid was truly a Fourth Rank Heaven and Earth Spiritual Item, said to have the divine effect of awakening the spiritual wisdom of Demon Beasts, coveted even by Fourth Rank transformed Demon Kings.

"What is Cultivation nourishment? These are Cultivation resources..."

Fang Xing’s face showed delight.

With this Bright Moon Spirit Cauldron in hand, it signified an endless supply of Third and Fourth Rank spiritual items, which even for a Nascent Soul Sect was a significant supplement.

Furthermore, if a Core Formation Family were to acquire it, and endure for hundreds of years in hiding, it would accumulate enough to make a push for the Nascent Soul Stage!

"After all, this is the Hanhai Immortal Cultivation World; there are indeed so many good things here..."

"Compared to the Great Wilderness Cultivation World, such treasures are hard to come by."

Fang Xing stroked his chin, very satisfied.

Of course, this ’Bright Moon Spirit Cauldron’, although exceedingly rare, still fell short when compared to the ’Ten Thousand Transformation Cauldron’.

One could say that without the ’Ten Thousand Transformation Cauldron’, Fang Xing would have hardly dared to call himself a Fourth Rank alchemist.

If its miraculous effects were to spread, even Holy Lands would be stirred!

’Master Wanfa indeed had an astonishing fate to possess such a divine object...’

’Unfortunately, his talent and luck were too poor... that he remained short of the Nascent Soul.’

’Had he broken through to Nascent Soul, he could have soared as high as he wished, freely like a bird in the sky. It’s sad and lamentable... but also fortunate!’

After all, if Master Wanfa hadn’t been unlucky, the Ten Thousand Transformation Cauldron wouldn’t have fallen into Fang Xing’s hands.

Without the aid of the Ten Thousand Transformation Cauldron, Fang Xing wouldn’t have dared to consume elixirs in large amounts, unable to create the myth of breaking through to the Nascent Soul Stage within sixty years.

’If the Bright Moon Spirit Cauldron is a Fourth Rank treasure... then the Ten Thousand Transformation Cauldron must be at least Fifth Rank, or even higher...’

’An object of the Fifth Rank, even if it were merely a raw material, would still be a rare treasure in the Hanhai Immortal Cultivation World.’

’Speaking of Fifth Rank objects, there are quite a few good things in the South Fire Sect...’

This was an unexpected gain from soul searching the Tianyin Sect’s Holy Daughter.

During her investigation of the Bright Moon Spirit Cauldron, she accidentally learned a piece of news—within the treasure vault of the South Fire Sect, there was a Fifth Rank ’Nanming Stone’!

This stone had already become sentient, birthing a strand of Fourth Rank ’Nanming Leaving Fire’!

Nanming Leaving Fire is a famous Spirit Flame in the Cultivation World, capable of warding off all evil and possessing supreme power.

Don’t think it’s just a mere Fourth Rank now; that’s because it’s only one strand of Origin Fire.

If it were to continue to condense, advancing to Fifth Rank or even higher in the future is very hopeful.

"This treasure is fated for me,"

said Fang Xing with a look of pleasure on his face.

He was now the Righteous Path Sword Lord, and although the Green Sun Demon Lamp and Soul-devouring Demon Fire were sharp and handy, their Demon Path aura was too strong, which wasn’t conducive to his persona.

If he could refine one or two Righteous Path fires to change the temperament of the Green Sun Demon Lamp into a ’Green Sun Divine Lamp,’ that would be ideal.

Even more so, if his Artifact Refining skills were passable, he could attempt to turn the ’Nanming Stone’ into a ’Nanming Leaving Fire Sword’, or refine it into the Green Sun Demon Lamp.

With materials of the Fifth Rank, even if his craftsmanship were poor, upgrading the Green Sun Demon Lamp to a Fourth Rank Mid-grade Spiritual Treasure or even a future Fourth Rank Top Grade should still be achievable without much issue.
