Chapter 1295: True or False
Chu Liuyue was dazed for a moment and almost suspected that she had misheard something. Then, she slowly asked, “What?”
Luo Yanming thought that she didn’t understand, so he explained, “The Heavenly Square Cauldron! Rumor has it that it’s one of the top ten holy weapons in the G.o.d Residence Realm! Don’t you know?”
Chu Liuyue’s eyelids twitched. I really don’t think I know… Since when did the Heavenly Square Cauldron suddenly become one of the top ten holy weapons in the G.o.d Residence Realm?! That item has been in my body for so long, but I never realized that it was any different! Oh, other than it being especially powerful and having a large storage s.p.a.ce…
Chu Liuyue held her forehead and rubbed her temples. “Tell me what’s going on in detail.”
Luo Yanming said, “I can’t really explain the matter in one or two sentences. If you really want to know, you can directly go to the Mission Board. Everything will be clear then!”
Chu Liuyue closed her eyes. When she opened them again, her black, gem-like eyes were as calm and dark as usual. “Where’s the Mission Board?”
…
Luo Yanming brought Chu Liuyue to the side of Dong Huang Clock Tower. There were already quite a few people gathered there.
Luo Yanming raised his hand. “Look! It’s up there!”
Chu Liuyue looked up.
…
A few lines of words shone brightly on the black board. The two words ‘Mission Board’ were the biggest at the top. Below were the related mission details and explanation.
This was originally where the Qing Yun Ranking’s warrior list was located. Now that the Mission Board was hung here, it wasn’t considered weird.
Chu Liuyue looked at it a few times and finally understood it.
There was a place in the G.o.d Residence Realm known as the Flood-Desert Northern Region. The environment there was extremely terrible, and almost n.o.body went there. But recently, it had become an extremely crowded place. That was because the legendary Heavenly Square Cauldron was about to descend there!

...
The Heavenly Square Cauldron had been missing since a thousand years ago, and n.o.body in the G.o.d Residence Realm had heard news of it ever since. It was only recently that news of the Heavenly Square Cauldron appearing again had spread far and wide.
All the aristocratic families were very tempted, and they wanted to have it as their own.
Normally, Ling Xiao Academy rarely partic.i.p.ated in such fights. But since a treasure like the Heavenly Square Cauldron descending would greatly affect the surrounding Heaven and Earth Force, and there could possibly be other Yuan instruments appearing, there were many benefits.
Hence, after the academy elders discussed it, they decided to list it as the mission this time.
Whoever could stay in the Flood-Desert Northern Region for a month and could find a Yuan instrument related to the Heavenly Square Cauldron… It would be considered as them completing the task.
All in all, this so-called mission could more accurately be considered harsh training.
“Flood-Desert Northern Region… I heard that the place is very dangerous. Whether we’ll even be able to come back will be a problem, right?”
“But that’s where the Heavenly Square Cauldron is about to descend! Wealth only presents itself in danger. If you don’t want to go, there will be plenty of people wanting to go!”
“That’s right, and it also states that the elders will go together and try to ensure everyone’s safety! As long as we feel that something is wrong, we can just try to ask for help and leave. We won’t be in much danger.”
“Hah, so what if it’s dangerous? Being able to see the Heavenly Square Cauldron once personally would be worth it even if I died! I came to the academy to become stronger! If we’re so cowardly, when can we become true warriors?”
The students gathered together and partook in heated discussions.
After listening for a while, most people were still leaning toward taking the risk. After all, the reputation of the top ten holy weapons in the G.o.d Residence Realm was indeed too appealing.
“So what do you think, Chu Yue? Are you going?” asked Luo Yanming rather nervously and expectantly.
Chu Liuyue thought for a moment before replying, “I’ll go back and think about it.”
Luo Yanming nodded. “We can form a team for this. s.h.i.+s.h.i.+, Zhuo Sheng, and I have decided to go together. If you want to go too, you can just let us know. We can go together!”
Chu Liuyue glanced at the Mission Board again before she left.
…
Jiuheng Peak.
Inside the room, Chu Liuyue held her chin with one hand and furrowed her brows slightly. “Heavenly Square Cauldron… What exactly is going on?”
I clearly obtained that item accidentally when I fought with the legendary three-eyed eagle. Without talking about how it suddenly became a precious object, there is actually another Heavenly Square Cauldron descending in the so-called Flood-Desert Northern Region?
“Could there be two Heavenly Square Cauldrons in this world?”
“Of course not.” The legendary three-eyed eagle’s cold voice suddenly sounded. “In the entire mainland, there’s only one Heavenly Square Cauldron, and it’s currently with you.”
“But the one at the Flood-Desert Northern Region—”
“Either someone made a mistake, or someone purposely spread rumors. Anyway, it’s fake. Don’t believe it.” The legendary three-eyed eagle’s tone was very insistent, and he was sure of it.
After listening to him, Chu Liuyue thought to herself. Some time pa.s.sed before she slowly said, “This should be a trap someone set up.”
“Why do you say this?” asked the legendary three-eyed eagle in return.
“If one or two people deduced it wrongly, it could still be understandable. But now that word has spread far and wide throughout the entire G.o.d Residence Realm, and even the academy elders didn’t detect that something was wrong… That’s rather strange.”
Chu Liuyue felt that the elders had good decision-making skills, but even they believed in it without a doubt and were even prepared to bring the students over…
Clearly, someone had used some method to cause everyone to believe that the news was true.
The Heavenly Square Cauldron hadn’t appeared once in a thousand years. Even if someone suspected that there was a problem with it, they couldn’t produce any evidence—unless the true Heavenly Square Cauldron appeared.
And currently, it was with her.
Other than Ling Xiao Academy, this incident had even implicated quite a few top-tier aristocratic families.
Who exactly was the mastermind with such shocking abilities?
