I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2371: 1071: Heavy Yuan Sword, Cleansing World Pot
Previously on I Have A Cultivation World...
Shetuoling looked like a blazing mountain range, but the spiritual energy hanging in the atmosphere was surprisingly sparse.
The reason lay in the Heaven and Earth Xuanji Formation that had sealed the spirit vein in this place. Still, the Land of Ruins had always brimmed with spiritual energy from the start, so despite the seal, traces of it were still drawn in by the mighty beings around.
Atop the trio of flame mountains in Shetuoling, golden fires burst into view, shaping into three enormous beasts as grand as peaks.
These turned out to be the three offspring of the Golden Flame Manticore, each reaching the pinnacle of the fourth rank. Their forms were wrapped in golden coats that flared like leaping flames, gleaming with brilliant splendor. On their foreheads sat three sets of blazing luminous eyes, shining like polished mirrors, exuding an aura of supreme authority and command.
Their tails whipped like blazing lashes, warping the emptiness and unleashing waves of scorching heat.
Gazing at the Holy Land forces nearby, a deep rumble of warning echoed from the depths of their throats, signaling a storm about to burst like a volcano.
With a deafening bellow, their robust legs propelled them from the summits, resembling three blazing orbs slamming into the ground. The atmosphere across the skies and lands instantly grew sweltering, and Shetuoling's toxic fiery haze rushed straight toward the Holy Land troops.
As though an ocean of flames had poured down, the soil below cracked and withered, while all nearby flora vanished into cinders in a flash.
Shenxi advanced, sweeping his pristine white horsetail whisk. Suddenly, a vast barrier of water materialized from nowhere, shielding the cultivators' forces overhead.
The instant the waters clashed with the blaze, the heavens boomed with a fierce detonation.
Yet Shenxi proved himself the cultivator nearest to the Divinity Transformation realm. Against three foes on his level, the Water Element True Qi inside him roared with even greater force. In no time, an immense torrent poured endlessly from his whisk, spawning fresh surges of waves even as the barrier broke apart.
Amid the horrifying inferno, the three Golden Flame Manticores plummeted like erupting volcanoes. Their fused presence was utterly daunting, capable of liquefying the void and the terrain, but Shenxi alone bore the brunt of this assault.
“Truly worthy of being the Dao Morale Sect Master!”
Seeing this display, Hong Yun and the fellow Nascent Soul experts brimmed with awe.
Though they all stood at the Nascent Soul Complete stage, they could barely tackle one adversary each, while Shenxi managed three.
“We should lend our aid too, to prevent Shenxi’s true qi from draining too much.”
Right then, Ni Yuanzhong suggested it, and the Azure Fall Palace Master at his side gave a subtle nod.
They had confirmed earlier that the Rank-5 Golden Flame Manticore wasn't present in Shetuoling.
So, no worries held them back.
Ni Yuanzhong executed a sword art with his right hand, summoning a jet-black flying sword into the air. Despite the three Golden Flame Manticores' mountain-like might, they appeared as insignificant stones beside this blade.
This was the famed Heavy Yuan Sword from the East Continent, its dread strength rooted in its immense heft.
Luo Yixuan had once practiced the Blackwater Cultivation, letting her form Mysterious Heavy Water post-Core Formation, where every droplet tipped the scales at a thousand jun.
And the Heavy Yuan Sword got forged and elevated from “Xuan Yuan Heavy Water,” with each bit weighing tens of thousands of jun.
Ni Yuanzhong’s version of the Heavy Yuan Sword drew from Xuan Yuan Heavy Water, said to carry a staggering million jun!
Should this blade connect, it could pulverize even a Fifth Rank Forged Body into powder.
As the Heavy Yuan Sword plunged, the three Golden Flame Manticores—restrained earlier by Shenxi’s Great River Dust Whisk—felt the peril approaching. The fires under their paws wavered, ready to invoke their inborn Fire Escape Technique and slip beyond the sword's reach.
But just then, silver radiance flashed in the Azure Fall Palace Master’s gaze, and a subtle void force flickered, locking the three Golden Flame Manticores in place, immobile.
If Chen Mobai had been present, he’d have instantly identified it as a Rank-5 Void Lock.
The Azure Fall Palace Master’s technique struck at the perfect instant, compelling the three Golden Flame Manticores to face the Heavy Yuan Sword head-on.
Having reached the fourth rank's apex, armed with vast combat savvy and intellect rivaling humans, they let out synchronized roars upon sensing the trap, baring their savage jaws to spew torrents of flame laced with a horrifying sonic blast. Three robust streams of fire hammered into the Heavy Yuan Sword.
As the three sect masters coordinated their moves, Hong Yun had already guided the Burning Heaven Five Meridians' cultivators into a battle formation and then pulled out an old bronze vessel, hoisting it aloft.
This was the supreme heirloom of the Burning Heaven Five Meridians, the Cleansing World Pot!
It had the power to capture any flame across the heavens and earth, converting it into the Burning Heaven Purifying World Fire for the wielder's practice and forging.
That said, to harness the Burning Heaven Purifying World Fire, one needed the Innate Fire Spirit Body to endure its overbearing True Fire. Since the final Divinity Transformation elder of Fen Tianjing Di departed, no successor in the sect could wield it, sparking the split into five meridians.
And this Cleansing World Pot ended up divided into three sections, the core piece kept by the Fire Cloud Palace, the cover by the Lie Yang Pavilion, and the rings claimed by the Chi Xiao Mansion.
On top of that, the ritual refinement chant for the Cleansing World Pot split into two halves, guarded by the Chi Yan Sect and the Sun Bathing Sea.
Therefore, unleashing this treasure demanded agreement from all Burning Heaven Five Meridians.
Taking advantage of this expedition's momentum, through various tactics and vows, backed by the Dao Morale Sect's support, Hong Yun finally pulled it off after great effort.
The Cleansing World Pot, known as the bane of every fire beneath the skies, could—if Hong Yun's realm allowed—even swallow the Rank-5 Golden Flame Manticore's True Fire, reshaping it into his personal Burning Heaven Purifying World Fire.
