Chapter 3838: Five Cauldrons
Ling Han didn’t counterattack. The best way to deal with this kind of person was to defeat them. If he defeated him, wouldn’t he be convinced?
Five days, ten days, half a month, time pa.s.sed quietly, and the deadline of a month was getting closer and closer.
No one knew how powerful Xue Zhan was now, because he had been staying at Liu Sanjun’s place all this while. As the residence of a Sect Master great elite, who would dare barge in recklessly?
However, according to Lin Qi, he had once been invited by Liu Sanjun to spar with Xue Zhan.
When the news spread out, everyone was curious, and asked Lin Qi one after another to find out just how strong Xue Zhan had become by now.
Lin Qi did not speak directly, and only said that Ling Han was definitely going to die.
Was this not enough?
Yet Ling Han was completely unconcerned. In his imagination, he had already considered Xue Zhan as Eight Cauldrons. Then, what was so strange about an Eight Cauldrons tie, or even defeating Lin Qi in reality?
The problem now was that the cave dwellers seemed to realize that there was something “something” stealing the Celestial medicine, and had already strengthened their defenses. When Ling Han had gone to steal the Celestial medicine yesterday, he had almost been discovered, because there was shockingly a True Self Tier elite.
Stealing medicines would be much more difficult.
It couldn’t be helped. Who asked Ling Han to steal it every day? This would definitely arouse suspicion.
Thankfully, Ling Han’s cultivation level was close to peak stage Four Cauldrons.
He didn’t steal any more medicines. Instead, he focused on cultivating. Even if it wasn’t the half an hour before dawn, he was still cultivating. Although his efficiency was a hundred times lower, no matter how small a mosquito’s leg was, it was still meat. With the current situation, he had to make the most of every second.
Another seven days later, Ling Han finally reached the peak stage of Four Cauldrons.
He could now attempt to reach Five Cauldrons.
The basic conditions had been met, but there had to be an opportunity to break through. How could one break through just like that?
Ling Han then went to battle on the Galaxy Network, wanting to find inspiration in the midst of battle to take that crucial step.
One day, two days, three days, yet Ling Han made no progress at all. It was as if he could only cultivate to Four Cauldrons, and this was his limit.
Ling Han naturally didn’t believe this. He did not continue fighting, but rather cultivated in seclusion.
He emptied his mind and stopped thinking about the battle that would take place a few days later. He sorted through his recent battles over and over again. Finally, he recalled the battles of the Ancestral King, Pan s.h.i.+, in his mind. Great scenes appeared in his mind, surging magnificently.
All of a sudden, he had an inspiration.
Begin!
Ling Han took a sip of Earth Spirit Milk, then sat down in a cross-legged position and charged towards Five Cauldrons.
He had also ingested a Cauldron Heart Pill, and in his mind, the image of a Celestial Cauldron appeared.
Though this was only an image, it could be used as a reference to reconstruct his fifth Celestial Cauldron.
‘Come!’
His life essence condensed, turning into the core of the fifth Celestial Cauldron. Then, using this as a foundation, it continued to grow stronger.
Two days later, the breakthrough was completed.
In Ling Han’s mind, the fifth cauldron was formed. It floated gently, emanating Celestial Qi. However, it was only a cauldron, but there were no legs.
“Though it is only early stage Five Cauldrons, with my battle prowess, it would not be a problem for me to defeat Eight Cauldrons. Even if I encounter Nine Cauldrons, I am sure that I would be just barely qualified to battle them.” Ling Han was filled with confidence. Of course, the more Celestial Cauldrons he formed, it meant that the higher his natural talent, the stronger this prodigy’s battle prowess would be.
How many people in the entire universe could cultivate to the level of Nine Cauldrons within the same era?
Thus, this kind of person would definitely have battle prowess that defied the heavens. Ling Han didn’t dare to boast that he could still defeat someone with a disadvantage of a few minor levels of cultivation.
For example, Origin, Myriad Dao and Heaven Crus.h.i.+ng were all monsters like him. He wanted to defeat them with a disadvantage of two or three minor levels? How was that possible!
However, Xue Zhan? Hehe.
How could this kind of cultivation level that had been rapidly achieved in a short period of time, and one that had been temporarily attained through the power of others, possibly compare to the likes of Origin and the others?
To say nothing of Origin, even Wu Qiyuan and Yuwen Tian were much stronger than him.
There were still three days until the mortal duel.
Ling Han came out of seclusion, and began to wander around in the Holy Land, appearing extremely calm.
In this Holy Land, it was possible that secret techniques were hidden everywhere. Thus, since he had just broken through, it was not appropriate for him to advance any further. He needed to relax, so he could use this time to hunt for treasures.
His luck began to improve. In a short three days, he actually managed to obtain a considerable number of celestial techniques from within the cracks of a rock, the body of a fish in the lake, and the rhythm of eruption of a volcano, and so on. However, it was a shame that their levels weren’t too high. At present, he really didn’t take Sect Master-level secret techniques to heart.
Then, another night later, it would be the day of the final battle between Ling Han and Xue
Zhan.
The sun had just risen, and Ling Han cultivated for half an hour as usual. This was something
that would not change ever.
He packed his things, and left.
When he arrived at the foot of the mountain, he saw that the empress, Hu Niu, Lin Luo, Wu Qiyuan, Yuwen Tian and the others were all waiting for him.
Ling Han nodded at everyone, and then headed towards the location of the final battle.
This was a ma.s.sive open s.p.a.ce, and there were a great many people waiting there. The entire Holy Land had been strengthened by the great elites of the past eras, so to say nothing of Cauldron Forging Tier, even if Sect Master great elites moved, the damage they could cause would be extremely limited. Thus, there was no need for the deliberate set up of a tournament stage for the mortal duel.
As expected, neither Lin Qi nor Gan Ping had come. It was as if they wanted to use this att.i.tude to tell everyone that they were not optimistic about Ling Han at all, and did not want to waste
any time.
However, Tan Meng and the other great beauties had all arrived, and when they saw Ling Han approach, they all approached him.
“Senior Brother Ling, if you’re not confident, it’s best not to accept the challenge,” Jie
Yingqiu was the first to say.
“That’s right. Senior Brother Ling is skilled in both alchemy and formations, so there is no
need for you to come to blows with a brute,” Jiang Yifei echoed.
Yet Tan Meng smiled beautifully, “I wish Senior Brother Ling a triumphant return in
advance.”
She had “exchanged blows” with Ling Han before, and with her intelligence, she was naturally very familiar with Ling Han’s personality. If this guy was not confident, how could The possibly agree to a mortal duel with Xue Zhan?
Therefore, this guy must have a trump card – it should be known that Elder Yan Dong had previously stood up for him.
Then, if Xue Zhan could obtain Liu Sanjun’s help, why couldn’t Ling Han do the same? Hu Niu instantly looked like she was protecting her food, and looked at the three women with
a vigilant gaze, “You three ugly monsters, Ling Han is Niu’s, don’t even think about it!”
These words were too direct, causing the beautiful faces of the three women to flush. They were prodigies on the Exquisite Leaderboard, and who knew how many prodigies would fight tooth and nail just to see them, yet you mistakenly thought that they were here to get
close to Ling Han?
Ling Han had not even spoken, when xiu, a swift light shot out from a certain mountain peak,
and appeared in the arena in a flash.
Liu Sanjun had come.
There was a person in his grasp, and it was Xue Zhan.
“Begin,” he said calmly. This was merely a Cauldron Forging Tier cultivator, and he couldn’t even be bothered to take another look at him. What was the point of wasting time? Meanwhile, Xue Zhan twisted his neck, as if he was stretching his muscles and bones. Then, he looked at Ling Han with a provoking gaze, “Haha, can you block three moves from me?” Right now, he was br.i.m.m.i.n.g with confidence. With Liu Sanjun’s help, he had condensed five Celestial Cauldrons, allowing him to become an Eight Cauldrons elite.
Though after this battle, those five Celestial Cauldrons would all disappear, there would still be seeds left behind. In future, it was possible that he could charge up to Five Cauldrons, or
even Six Cauldrons in fact.
