Chapter 319 Immortal Weapon Golden Cauldron
In the distance, the old man and the young girl who were fleeing for their lives were becoming increasingly exhausted. Seeing that they were unable to shake off their pursuers, they finally stopped.
"Do you really want to exterminate us all?" the old man asked with resentment, questioning the pursuers behind him.
"We were once of the same clan, blood relatives. You have already betrayed our ancestors, so why won't you leave us a way out?" he continued.
"No more nonsense. The clan leader has given the order. As long as you are alive, you will surely find a way to sabotage our plans. We cannot let you live. Prepare to die!" the pursuers replied mercilessly.
The six pursuers drew their swords without mercy, creating a dazzling display of sword light.
The old man protected the young girl behind him and swung his sword forward. His sword light was even more dazzling than that of the six pursuers, but he was outnumbered.
After three rounds of fighting, the old man's sword light shattered. The pursuers took advantage of their victory and attacked, hacking the old man and the girl to death.
It was so bloody, so violent, so terrifying.
Zhang Chi sighed repeatedly, but did not make any rash moves.
Both sides were not particularly strong. The old man was at the Foundation Building Late Stage, while the six pursuers were at the Foundation Building Early Stage.
If Zhang Chi were to make a move, he could easily sweep the floor with them, but he refrained from doing so.
Only after the pursuers left did he quietly approach the two bloody corpses.
"Quick, while it's still fresh," Zhang Chi urged.
Gu Youyou replied irritably, "I know, stop rushing me!"
With that, Gu Youyou used the soul-searching technique on the two corpses.
It was because these natives didn't care about killing that they left behind a soul for Gu Youyou to use the soul-searching technique.
Of course, if these six pursuers were to destroy the Divine Souls of the old man and the girl, Gu Youyou would have no choice but to kill them and use the soul-searching technique.
In the Secret Realm, since they had encountered natives, Gu Youyou would naturally not let them go. This was the easiest way to gather information.
After searching the souls of the old man and the girl separately, Gu Youyou felt a bit exhausted, but compared to the gains, this exhaustion was nothing.
"It seems like we've stumbled upon a major secret," Gu Youyou said, returning control of her body to Zhang Chi as they walked back. As they walked, she shared the information she had obtained with him.
"This Secret Realm is called the Golden Cauldron Secret Realm. What do you think of that?" she asked.
"Golden Cauldron Mountain?" Zhang Chi replied.
It was too obvious, like a simple math problem. It couldn't stump Zhang Chi.
"No, it's just Golden Cauldron!" Gu Youyou proudly corrected him. "Everything in this Secret Realm exists because of the Golden Cauldron, which is the sun above our heads."
Gu Youyou pointed to the shining object in the sky and said, "The Golden Cauldron is there. It is an Immortal Weapon. As long as one becomes the master of the Golden Cauldron, they can completely control the Golden Cauldron Secret Realm. How about it, do you want it?"
"I want it, but I dare not," Zhang Chi replied honestly.
Who wouldn't want an Immortal Weapon?
But just thinking about it, one could tell that there were great consequences. Could an Immortal Weapon be so easily obtained?
In the entire Immortal Cultivation World, Immortal Weapons were only legends.
Having a few Spirit Weapons in Western State was enough to dominate a region.
An Immortal Weapon was something that one wouldn't even dare to dream of.
Moreover, an Immortal Weapon had given rise to such a powerful Secret Realm. Was such an Immortal Weapon something he could covet?
"As long as I am still clear-headed, I absolutely dare not have any thoughts," Zhang Chi emphasized again, to prevent Gu Youyou from acting recklessly.
"If you don't go and get it, then it will fall into the hands of the Demon Race," Gu Youyou explained the cause and effect.
It turned out that in this Secret Realm, there was an ancient race called the Golden Spirit Clan.
They were born to worship the Golden Cauldron, and every member of the clan possessed the Golden Spirit physique.
They lived in this Secret Realm and were the true masters of this Secret Realm.
However, although this Secret Realm had a vast territory, at least as large as the Coiling Dragon River Basin, it was still too small for the Golden Spirit Clan who lived here.
This Secret Realm was like a prison, trapping them in this small world.
As a result, generation after generation of the clan had people who wanted to leave.
But the Golden Spirit Clan had a ancestral tradition. They were born to protect the Immortal Weapon, and they could only leave this world when a destined person who could subdue the Immortal Weapon appeared.
The Golden Spirit Clan had been guarding this inheritance for generations, but each generation had people who were dissatisfied.
The older generation talked about inheritance and mission, but the younger generation only thought about their own lives.
To think that their descendants would have to continue waiting for someone who knows when they would appear, some of the Golden Spirit Clan members couldn't bear it anymore.
As a result, the once great Golden Spirit Clan split into two factions, the New Faction and the Old Faction.
The old members of the clan adhered to the ancestral tradition, waiting for a master of the Immortal Weapon.
The members of the New Faction didn't want to wait for a destined person. Their thinking was more flexible.
Only when the Immortal Weapon recognized them as its master could they leave, right?
Alright, let's go find a master for the Immortal Weapon then!
However, the idea of the New Faction was not so easily realized.
The Secret Realm of the Golden Cauldron occasionally has people who come in by chance, collect some resources, and then leave. The members of the new faction always try to get their recognition from the Golden Cauldron.
However, the Immortal Weapon has a spirit. Although it tests some people, it only gives them some benefits and never acknowledges them as its master.
As the number of attempts increases, the mentality of the new faction collapses.
So, they turned to the Demon Race.
Because the Demon Race had been here before, the new faction left a way to contact the Demon Race.
Only the Demon Race has the ability to forcibly tame the spirit of the Immortal Weapon.
Now, the old faction can't sit still.
The new faction tries to get the recognition of the Golden Cauldron through proper means.
But forcibly subduing the Immortal Weapon goes against the ancestors' decision.
As a result, the two sides started fighting.
Until recently, it was always the new faction that suffered. But a group of Demon Race members arrived, and the situation reversed.
Most of the strong members of the old faction died at the hands of the Demon Race, and the Secret Realm fell under the control of the Demon Race.
However, the Golden Cauldron still hangs high.
When the Golden Cauldron emits light, even the Celestial Demon cannot face its sharpness directly. This is the daytime of the Secret Realm.
When the Golden Cauldron's light recedes, its essence is contained. This is the nighttime of the Secret Realm, and it is still inaccessible.
And every once in a while, the Golden Cauldron goes through a period of weakness. During this time, living beings can approach the Golden Cauldron and communicate with it, gaining the opportunity for a test.
This period of weakness will arrive in three Secret Realm days.
At that time, the Demon Race will forcibly subdue the Golden Cauldron and use the Secret Realm as a springboard to descend upon the mortal world.
The demonic cult in the mortal world has already prepared for all of this, and it seems that there is some connection between the Golden Cauldron Secret Realm and the Golden Summit Mountain in the mortal world.
In short, the demons have set up a formation in the Golden Cauldron Mountain, and they have sent Jin Ling'er into the Secret Realm. This plan is very well-executed.
The formation has a positioning function, and coupled with the fact that Jin Ling'er is a native human and holds a high position in the White Tiger Sect, her identity is extraordinary.
The demons have offered her as a sacrifice, and the Demon Race in the Secret Realm can use Jin Ling'er to descend upon the Golden Cauldron Mountain.
This plan was discovered by a deceased elder. The Demon Race wants to gain the help of the new faction of the Golden Spirit Clan, so they have to give them some information to keep them interested.
Once this plan succeeds, the Golden Cauldron Secret Realm will become a transit station for the Demon Race to return to the mortal world. As long as the Secret Realm exists and is controlled by the Demon Race, they can use it to complete their leap and descend upon the mortal world again.
As for Zhang Chi, he is simply getting involved unintentionally.
After listening to Gu Youyou's description, Zhang Chi's expression changed.
It seems that he always ends up getting involved in these big conspiracies.
The last Secret Realm was also a conspiracy by the Ghost Clan, who tried to turn the Dragon River into a ghost domain through corrupting people's hearts and then use the power of the Secret Realm to descend upon the mortal world.
Now, the Demon Race's plan is not exactly the same, but it is very similar.
It's just that wherever he goes, trouble seems to find him.
After listening to Gu Youyou's summary of the information, Zhang Chi's heart sank.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing Zhang Chi suddenly becoming nervous, Gu Youyou was also confused.
"We are in danger now."
Zhang Chi explained, "The Demon Race leading the charge this time is at least on par with human Dao Integration cultivators. Even if you were to face them, you might not be their match.
Furthermore, this Secret Realm is already under the control of the Demon Race and the Golden Spirit Clan. They know that the demonic cult among the Daoists will send a sacrifice to help them locate the mortal world. At this point, they should be sending people to search for us."
Zhang Chi's heart was filled with despair.
In the previous Secret Realm, he had space to hide, and his teammates were also powerful.
But this time, Jin Ling'er had no combat power, and the enemies had formed a united front.
In other words, everyone in this Secret Realm is now an enemy.
Fortunately, he didn't let Gu Youyou save the people before. Otherwise, if those six pursuers had died, the Demon Race would have quickly realized the presence of outsiders. After all, not every member of the Demon Race is as bad at using their brains as Gu Youyou.
Once Zhang Chi and Jin Ling'er's whereabouts were exposed, they would face the pursuit of the actual controllers of this Secret Realm.
They should be sending people to search for them now.
Zhang Chi increased his speed, intending to find Jin Ling'er first.
They needed to hide, fighting was not an option.
Now, their only hope lay in the Golden Cauldron.
The Immortal Weapon has a spirit and probably wouldn't choose the Demon Race.
When the Immortal Weapon is forced by the Demon Race, it might choose to recognize either him or Jin Ling'er as its master in a desperate situation.
If they could get the recognition of the Immortal Weapon, they could turn the tables.
On the other hand, if the Demon Race gained control of the Immortal Weapon, no matter where they hid in the Secret Realm, the Demon Race would find them as long as they were still inside.
This time, simply evading would be useless.
They had to fight for the Immortal Weapon.
Zhang Chi couldn't help but sigh. Heaven does not favor the weak!
After sighing, Zhang Chi's eyes became sharper.
Since there was no way back, they could only move forward on the only path left.
No matter who stood in their way, they would have to die!
Jin Ling'er, I'm sorry.
To survive, I can only abandon my conscience.
Currently, the most secure method is to kill Jin Ling'er as well. This way, there will only be one person left who can be recognized by the Golden Cauldron... (End of this chapter)
