Chapter 857: Chapter 857: Rebirth from the Cocoon

"Let’s go!"

Moon Lady shattered the barrier that Si Kong Xuan had placed to block the Nine Tripod Illusionary Realm, and she was the first to leave the Holy City.

Ling Xiao then stepped into the Nine Tripod Illusionary Realm.

Once inside, neither the Heavenly King Sect nor the Sacred Dynasty Royal Family could do anything to him.

After entering the Nine Tripod Illusionary Realm, the black hole-like entrance didn’t disappear.

However, despite staring intently at it, no one could enter.

"Come on, surround this place completely, don’t let Ling Xiao have any chance to escape. Let him stay inside for life!"

In his violent anger, the Sacred Emperor issued an order, and immediately people responded and hurried to carry it out.

Naturally, Ling Xiao had no knowledge of what was happening outside; he had already entered the Nine Tripod Illusionary Realm.

The moment he entered, Ling Xiao felt a very peculiar change.

Around him, there seemed to be countless chaotic spaces, and these spaces were mixed together, forming an array of jumbled mixed spaces.

The creatures and plants inside all appeared randomly pieced together, giving off an extremely disharmonious feeling.

"What exactly is going on here? What is the Nine Tripod Illusionary Realm trying to tell me?"

Ling Xiao was a bit perplexed, as this was his first visit and he was totally unfamiliar with this place.

"Don’t just look at the external things, look into your own true heart!"

A voice rang out beside Ling Xiao’s ear.

"King of People?"

"You don’t need to look for me; only a wisp of my divine consciousness remains within this Nine Tripod Illusionary Realm. Everyone sees different things when they enter; what they see relates to themselves. Don’t be lost by this chaotic external environment; look within yourself, and you might find the answers."

"Myself?"

Ling Xiao frowned, wondering if the Nine Tripod Illusionary Realm was really there to enhance one’s cultivation level. Seeing such a chaotic environment within, could it imply his cultivation was also extremely chaotic and disordered?

Yes!

That must be it!

Ling Xiao had always felt he hadn’t truly grasped the essence of the Mountain and River Martial Soul and was on a path diverging from the core.

But as for how to return, he had no clarity at all.

"Do you think I’ve learned too much of a mixture, yet fail to make real use of the strongest Mountain and River Martial Soul?"

Ling Xiao asked.

The King of People didn’t answer his question; however, the previously mixed-up scene disappeared, replaced by a vast open field.

Suspended above this field were nine Big Cauldrons, identical to the Nine Tripod Fortune Ling Xiao had previously condensed.

"You are very clever, but it depends on whether you are willing to let go!"

The voice of the King of People sounded again: "Inside these nine cauldrons is the most straightforward practical advancement of the Mountain Martial Soul. Of course, this is just guidance. Once you master all the uses of the cauldrons, you will be able to freely control this Martial Soul. Their purpose is to set you on the right path and lay the foundation."

"The foundation?"

"Yes, the foundation."

"But what did you just say I have to give up?"

Ling Xiao asked, puzzled.

"Although the Mountain and River Martial Soul is indeed all-encompassing, in the initial stages, if you use too much of other things, it will lead to insufficient utilization of the Mountain and River Martial Soul. My advice is simple: temporarily abandon all Martial Arts except for the Soul Secret Technique, including your Hell Dragon Soul and Sword Demon Martial Spirit."

"The Eye of the World must be abandoned as well?"

"That’s not necessary. Your Eye of the World is the gate to the Mountain and River Martial Soul, the best method to unleash the power of the Mountain and River Martial Soul. Its existence can conceal the presence of the Mountain and River Martial Soul, which is beneficial to you."

Hearing this, Ling Xiao fell silent.

The Heaven Vein Qi Sword, the Shadow Transmutation Sword Art, the Twelve Golden Lotus Art, the Hell Dragon Soul, the Ye Gushan Martial Spirit, and so on—he had to give them all up, which truly wasn’t easy.

After all, these were the offensive methods that had accompanied him on his journey and had even helped him advance to the Heavenly Man Realm Cultivation Level.

Although his Cultivation Level had since fallen back to the Transcendent Realm Ninth Layer, the idea of giving up these things was honestly painful.

"It’s your choice. You can either learn the usage methods for the Mountain and River Martial Soul of the Nine Cauldrons or enhance your Cultivation Level to return to the Heavenly Man Realm. I won’t force you. After all, you are the true Chosen Son of Heaven. All I can do is make you stronger!"

The King’s phantom’s words, though spoken lightly, made Ling Xiao smile bitterly in helplessness.

Return to the Heavenly Man Realm?

Of course he had thought about it, but that was no difficult feat; there was no need to rely on the power of the Nine Tripod Illusionary Realm.

To possess the correct methods for using the Mountain and River Martial Soul?

That was possible, but to discard the other things would be truly unbearable.

"Maybe it will be easier for you to accept this way: these things are only being temporarily discarded. Once you master all of the basic practical methods of the Mountain and River Martial Soul of the Nine Cauldrons, you can pick them up again. However, in the future, you may not even care for these things."

"I choose the correct methods for using the Mountain and River Martial Soul!"

Ling Xiao thought for a while and made a decision.

He also felt that in the past year or so, in his quest to enhance his strength, he had learned too many complex things, which had affected the truly practical Mountain and River Martial Soul.

For this, he had no regrets, because these things had helped him all along the way to reach his current achievements. Without them, Ling Xiao would not have accomplished what he had today.

As a young man without guidance, taking some detours in the path of cultivation was nothing to be ashamed of.

It is never too late to mend.

He had made his decision!

"Good! Then I shall lend you a hand!"

With Ling Xiao’s affirmative answer, the phantom of the King of People suddenly appeared and tapped on Ling Xiao’s forehead.

In that instant, Ling Xiao felt a huge vortex appear within his own Mountain and River World, like a black hole, sucking in the Heaven Vein Qi Sword, the Shadow Transmutation Sword Art, the Hell Dragon Soul, the Twelve Golden Lotus Art, the Book of Seals, and so on.

After that, a huge "Seal" character emerged above the black hole.

At the same time, Ling Xiao’s Heavenly Pulse also changed; the previous lotus turned into Nine Cauldrons.

It was indeed the Heavenly Pulse, but now there were nine, which Ling Xiao found very peculiar.

"These things will remain sealed until you finish cultivating the practical methods of the Mountain and River Martial Soul within the Nine Cauldrons. I hope you have no regrets!"

"Whether it’s fortune or misfortune, it’s my own choice, and my own responsibility. I will absolutely have no regrets!"

Ling Xiao nodded vehemently.

The development of events had not ended there.

The Mountain and River Martial Soul once again returned to a state of primordial chaos, as though a pitch-black universe with nothing in it.

However, the Eye of the World still existed, albeit dim and lightless.

In addition, there were nine immense Bronze Cauldrons floating in the emptiness of this universe.

Each Bronze Cauldron was clearly numbered in sequence.

"Then let’s start with the first Bronze Cauldron!"

Ling Xiao took a deep breath and opened the first cauldron.
