Chapter 1138: The Cauldron Appeared
There were seven orifices in the human body.
Ordinary people used ears, nose, eyes, mouth and tongue to explore the world, absorb nourishment and maintain their vital organs. However, when we talked about Immortal Cultivators, each orifice was born connected with everything in the universe; they had all kinds of incredible Divine Powers.
So, there were many arts in Taoism, like the Li Fire Golden Eyes, which could be used to look at things thousands of miles away.
Buddhism had six Divine Powers, including the Divine Foot Power, Heavenly Eye Power, Heavenly Ear Power and Mind Connection Power. All of them were cultivated by Grand Cultivators who had reached the peak level; they had extremely sensitive seven orifices and six senses. Soul Formation Divine Lords were said to be able to look at the galaxy with their naked eyes and see the creatures on Pluto while still being on Earth. Void Returning Saints and Dao Reunion Perfected Immortals were even more terrifying. They were able to look across billions of galaxies and see Heaven. The Deities in Heaven even watched three thousand worlds like prints on their palms.
So, the cultivation arts for the seven orifices reigned supreme across the entire universe.
As the name implied, Chen Fan’s Nine Orifices Divine Infant was born with nine orifices. It had two more eyes than the ordinary people; one on the forehead and one on the navel. That was terrifying. It was a real and natural Fortune Spirit with different types of unbelievable Divine Powers. If Chen Fan hadn’t refined it into a clone, it would have immediately emerged to travel across the world and easily kill Nascent Soul cultivators. It might have even become an Ancestral Patriarch of a sect in the future without even reaching the Soul Formation Level!
“Boom!”
When the Nine Orifices Divine Infant opened its eyes and nine orifices.
Swis.h.!.+
Nine rays of light shot out of its ears, nose, mouth, forehead and belly b.u.t.ton like sharp light swords. Crack, crack. It sliced the Wuji Loop formed by dense black and white energy into eight pieces, just like an electric chainsaw.
“Form!”
Divine Prince Yi Qian raised his other hand and cast a spell to attack Chen Fan.
The Divine Infant spoke at the same time. “Break!”
And yet, its voice was barely audible. It became a powerful Immortal Will which was spread in all directions. Although the Wuji Loop had been formed by Divine Laws of life and death, it was still something with a shape, while Immortal Will was shapeless. Cultivators would usually avoid fighting with each other using Immortal Will after reaching the Nascent Soul level; they might only use it to interfere in other people’s attacks during a battle. A full-powered attack made with Immortal Will would only be able to give the enemy a gentle shake. If that were so, what was the use of it?
How terrifying was Chen Fan’s Immortal Will?
The Nine Orifices Divine Infant was a forbidden Divine Pill formed by Immortal Will. Chen Fan had kept refining his Divine Soul over the past few years and completed the Flowers of the End. He had even used the powerful Deity Qi to refine his Divine Soul while being secluded in the deity ground. By then it was halfway to becoming a Deity Soul. As the Infant became more refined, its Immortal Will would also become purer and more powerful. Its entire body had been made with the purest gold and was extremely strong. The power of its would-be Deity Soul was equivalent to ten Nascent Souls joining forces!
“Boom!”
The invisible Immortal Will swept over a hundred thousand feet in the void like a hurricane.
That terrifying Immortal Will covered a range of a few hundred miles. The dimension outside the Earth was quite fragile; it directly cracked and many black holes appeared. This Immortal Will struck Yi Qian’s Defensive True Essence as hard as a hammer, making it vibrate violently. Yi Qian was even knocked dozens of feet backwards.
The rest of the disciples riding the Wuji Stars.h.i.+p were much worse in comparison.
They had been complacent, thinking that Yi Qian would surely win, so they didn’t open many defensive arrays. The Nascent Soul elders were fine; their Immortal Wills and power were quite strong, and they had all kinds of Dharma Treasures. However, those Golden Core Cultivators weren’t that lucky. Even though most of them had reached the peak-stage of the Golden Core Level, they still screamed painfully as they held their own heads after the foreing Immortal Will had bashed them; blood oozed out of their ears, nose and mouth.
Some weak cultivators immediately exploded and turned into blood mist.
Bang, bang, bang!
Chen Fan had killed a few hundred Golden Core Cultivators with just his Immortal Will.
“Kid, you’re digging your own grave.” Yi Qian narrowed his eyes with a glint of coldness inside. His hair was loose and a bit messy. He had never thought that Chen Fan would make an attack with his Immortal Will. However, both of them had an Immortal Will at the peak-stage Nascent Soul Level; Yi Qian only felt fl.u.s.tered, but he could still fight back.
“Kill!”
He cast a spell and the black and white energy around him was quickly interweaved like two black and white dragons, forming a larger Wuji Loop to envelop Chen Fan.
However, Yi Qian had no idea this was only the beginning. What happened next was Chen Fan’s real tactic.
Chen Fan sat while floating cross-legged in s.p.a.ce with his palms facing up. He cast a weird spell with his five fingers, and his nine orifices vibrated as he gently said a word…
“Hold!”
Boom.
In front of the surprised look of countless people, that eight-inch Nine Orifices Divine Infant turned into a cauldron seemingly made of gold. It was only an inch large; a tiny round cauldron with three legs and two handles. It had many mountain patterns and the movement of the sun, moon and galaxy engraved on it. It seemed that G.o.d had been its crafter and it carried endless power of the world. It was made with an unknown material which made it seem strangely heavy.
The golden cauldron only stood there. It seemed to be suppressing the sun, moon and air like an old, giant mountain. There was even a hint of sacred energy surging out of it.
“Oh no, this is…?”
Yi Qian’s eyes popped out when he saw that cauldron, as if something had clicked in his mind.
But it was too late. The golden cauldron shook slightly.
The entire world instantly shook along with it; the cauldron let out the sound of a giant bell. However, that sound had reached an inaudible level, only becoming a terrifying wave of Immortal Will. There was even a visible golden wave in the sky, spreading in all directions at an extremely high speed.
“Boom!”
Yi Qian was the first to suffer.
The light ray formed by the stars underneath his feet were immediately shattered. Cracking sounds were perceived close to Yi Qian. Many invisible s.h.i.+elds were cracking constantly, which was the sound of the Defensive True Essence and the Dharma Spells outside Yi Qian’s body; all of them were breaking because of the cauldron’s sound of the cauldron. Even the black and white energy surrounding his body was split. Yi Qian had to keep falling back. The jade tablet hanging around his neck was lit up, forming an azure aura to cover him, helping him survive the ominous sound.
Meanwhile, something terrible was happening to those traveling on the Wuji Stars.h.i.+p.
The golden energy wave had swept the ten-mile old battles.h.i.+p like waves and countless disciples on board screamed. Even though they were descendants of an imperishable sect and cultivated all kinds of Divine Powers, they were just Golden Core Cultivators after all. How could they resist the Divine Treasure level of power from Chen Fan’s Nine Orifices Divine Infant?
Right.
That cauldron had been created based on a powerful Sacred Treasure of a Saint deep in the universe, the “Mountain River Cauldron.” It was a supreme artifact refined with the Thousand Divine Weapon Art, using his Nine Orifice Divine Infant as the core. Even though Chen Fan could only release one-tenth or even one-hundredth of the treasure’s power, it was still comparable to a Quasi-Divine Treasure.
