Chapter 906: Xu Kong Zi |
The Void Cauldron, this magic tool, was brought back by Meng Zhang from the rebuilt Taiyi Sect mountain gate with great effort.
Unfortunately, the tool spirit of this magic tool didn't think much of Meng Zhang, the esteemed Taiyi Sect Master, and couldn't be bothered with him at all.
If it hadn't been for the Divine Sense of the Ghost Deity, Shou Zheng, summoned to subdue the tool spirit of the Void Cauldron, Meng Zhang wouldn't have been able to enter the inner space of the cauldron.
The only thing Meng Zhang could do was to collect the Taiyi Sect's heritage from the inner space of the Void Cauldron.
Later, after Meng Zhang reached the Primordial Spirit realm, he had the intention to subdue the Void Cauldron. However, the Extreme Sword Spirit General dissuaded him, advising him to wait until his Cultivation Base became stronger before attempting it.
Meng Zhang heeded the advice of the Extreme Sword Spirit General and endured until now.
Now, he has come to find the tool spirit of the Void Cauldron for a proper matter, and Meng Zhang's Cultivation Base has already reached the mid-stage of the Primordial Spirit realm. He believes that even if the tool spirit of the Void Cauldron is proud, it should bow to him now.
The Void Cauldron is placed in a secret room in Maple Leaf Mountain City, guarded by a Gold Core Daoist Master.
Of course, the presence of the Gold Core Daoist Master is only to prevent outsiders from approaching.
Gazing at the giant cauldron before him, taller than a person, Meng Zhang shouted loudly, "Xu Kong Zi , this seat is here, come out and pay respects."
If it wasn't for Shou Zheng telling him, he wouldn't have known the name of the tool spirit of the Void Cauldron.
As he spoke these words, Meng Zhang began to mobilize the power of the Grand Dao. Above the Void Cauldron, black and white transformations occurred, and various phenomena emerged.
With a thunderous roar, it indeed stirred the tool spirit of the Void Cauldron.
An old man with white hair and beard, tall and unruly, appeared in front of the Void Cauldron.
As soon as the old man appeared, all the phenomena immediately disappeared.
A formidable aura, not a bit weaker than Meng Zhang's, seemed ready to erupt at any moment.
Generally, when a tool spirit first forms, it takes the form of a child.
As time passes and it grows, the form of the tool spirit will also change accordingly.
The lifespan ofThe appearance of Xu Kong Zi as an old man is enough to show that its existence spans a long time. a tool spirit is much longer than that of a Primordial Spirit True Monarch.
Many times, after the death of the tool spirit's master during meditation, the tool spirit can inherit the sect for several generations.
The power he demonstrated made Meng Zhang realize that this old fellow is not someone easy to deal with.Fourth Rank magic tools cannot fully unleash their power without a master controlling them.
The tool spirit of the Void Cauldron stood on equal footing with Meng Zhang, but it was clear that it didn't use its full strength. Meng Zhang was truly amazed.
Just how powerful is this Void Cauldron? It's probably at the pinnacle of Fourth Rank magic tools.
Meng Zhang's heart burned with desire. If he could refine the Void Cauldron, his strength would undoubtedly greatly increase.
However, he soon thought of the tool spirit's bad temper, and a chill ran through his heart.
Nevertheless, he had to give it a try.
"Xu Kong Zi , I am the Taiyi Sect Master, and you are a magic tool cultivated by Taiyi Sect, a member of Taiyi Sect. You must not disobey my orders."
Xu Kong Zi seemed not to have heard Meng Zhang's words. He casually sized up Meng Zhang and started talking to himself.
"I knew it. A mere Gold Core stage cultivator dares to be the Taiyi Sect Master."
"Mid-stage of the Primordial Spirit realm, barely worth looking at."
Meng Zhang felt unhappy with Xu Kong Zi criticizing him.
"Young man, when I was following Taiyi Sect's founder dominating the world, you were probably still clueless about your whereabouts."
"Just with your strength, you want me to submit? Go back and cultivate for a few hundred years."
Generally, a Fourth Rank magic tool with a tool spirit would have its weaknesses known to its owner, who would fully control it.
However, after Taiyi Sect experienced a catastrophe and lost much of its heritage, the means of controlling the Void Cauldron were long lost.
To control the Void Cauldron now, one would either need the goodwill and cooperation of the tool spirit or rely on a powerful Cultivation Base to forcefully subdue it.
Meng Zhang lacked both of these conditions.
Since he couldn't subdue the other party, he could only lower his posture and communicate with it properly.
Meng Zhang was a flexible and adaptable person.
As a cultivator who rose up from the bottom of the Cultivation World, he had no burden when necessary and could set aside his face.
Meng Zhang no longer displayed an attitude of wanting to subdue the Void Cauldron but politely addressed Xu Kong Zi as a senior.
He mentioned the Ghost Deity, Shou Zheng, saying that he came under Shou Zheng's guidance to discuss important matters with Xu Kong Zi .
Upon hearing the name of Shou Zheng and seeing Meng Zhang's willingness to yield, the old Xu Kong Zi's attitude improved significantly.
"Mid-stage of the Primordial Spirit realm, barely qualified to converse with me."
"If you have something to discuss, just say it." Xu Kong Zi said casually.Meng Zhang didn't waste any words and went straight to the point, inquiring about how to enter the Heavenly Palace and how to communicate with it.
After listening to Meng Zhang's questions, Xu Kong Zi (Child of Void) fell silent for a while before speaking.
In his view, given Meng Zhang's current strength, it was a bit early for him to make contact with the Heavenly Palace. However, since Shou Zheng called Meng Zhang here, it clearly meant that Shou Zheng believed Meng Zhang was qualified to interact with the Heavenly Palace.
Xu Kong Zi (Child of Void) briefly explained the origin of the Heavenly Palace.
To talk about the Heavenly Palace, one had to trace back to the history of the cultivators in the Grand Dust World.
Originally, there were no cultivators in the Grand Dust World. It was over ten thousand years ago when an immortal arrived from beyond the boundary and opened up the Grand Dust World, leaving behind the Daoist tradition, which led to the appearance of the first cultivators.
The opening of the Grand Dust World was part of the expansion of the Immortal Dao.
As for the specific details, Xu Kong Zi (Child of Void) had limited knowledge.
In short, the cultivators from outside overwhelmed the natives of the Grand Dust World and established a new order here.
The Holy Land Sects that currently govern the Grand Dust World have their status because their ancestors were among the first group of cultivators who opened up the Grand Dust World.
The territories established by their ancestors naturally qualified their descendants to inherit them.
As the Immortal Dao prospered in the Grand Dust World and cultivators took a dominant position, the immortals established the Heavenly Palace to oversee everything in the Grand Dust World.
The Heavenly Palace far surpasses all the Holy Land Sects and is the supreme ruler of the Grand Dust World.
The so-called Holy Land Sects can be seen as subordinates of the Heavenly Palace.
However, the Heavenly Palace remains aloof and rarely interferes in the specific affairs of the Grand Dust World.
The daily tasks of the Heavenly Palace lie in conquering and subduing other worlds.
Their ultimate goal is to spread the inheritance of the Immortal Dao to various realms and promote its prosperity.
Thus, the Holy Land Sects have the opportunity to govern the Grand Dust World.
Conquering other worlds is an immense and time-consuming task.
In addition to using their own power the Heavenly Palace also mobilizes the major sects and families of the Grand Dust World to participate in this task.
Of course, not many cultivation forces are qualified to participate in this task, apart from the Holy Land Sects.
Even Taiyi Sect at its peak had to expend considerable effort to obtain such qualifications.
