Creation of the Universe

Chapter 113 Bronze Cauldron

Regardless of whether Shen Zhan's guess is accurate or not, they will soon get closer to the truth.

When the winding road ahead suddenly became straight, Shen Zhan saw from afar that at the end of his sight, there was a ball of fire burning fiercely, and from time to time, hot sparks were splashing around.

The closer you get to there, the more heat waves surge, making you feel a distinct burning sensation on your face.

Tang Muqing said: "Suddenly my mouth became dry and my tongue became parched. It was such an uncomfortable feeling."

Xia Wenxiu told her, "Junior sister, don't forget our sect's Heart-Reinforcing Technique. It will come in handy right now."

"Yes, Senior Sister, I understand."

The Heart-Tidying Technique can help a person concentrate his mind in a short period of time, focus his mental energy on one point, and thus ignore sensory discomfort and distracting thoughts. This was not a very remarkable skill in the past, and was even ridiculed by other sects.

But in the current situation, it is particularly critical. If it were not for the effect of the Heart-Tipping Technique, it would be difficult for someone like Tang Muqing, who has a relatively shallow cultivation base, not to be affected by the strange phenomena here.

The various martial arts techniques existing on the Tianxuan Continent can be roughly divided into three types, namely body refining, qi refining, and mind refining.

Physical training is to temper oneself, with a strong physique as the foundation of practice, so as to withstand the intensity that ordinary people cannot bear. Qi training focuses on the intersection and integration with heaven and earth, which is more conducive to converting spiritual energy into one's own spiritual power.

Refining the mind is the weaker of the three types of exercises. The power of spiritual strength is often overlooked, but as the level of cultivation continues to improve, the importance of refining the mind will become apparent.

Therefore, for a strong man like Shen Zhan who once reached the peak of the Martial God Realm, he would never look down on refining the mind, and he also became a close friend of the founder of Wuya Taoist Academy. These are not things that those ignorant people can understand.

When the four finally arrived at the source of the fire, they found a huge bronze tripod placed there. The man standing behind the tripod had long hair covering his face, and he was dancing and muttering some incomprehensible spells.

"Who is this person?"

Xia Wenxiu couldn't help but nervously grip the hilt of the sword. The unpredictable situation that was about to happen forced her to be extremely alert.

Shen Zhan said, "If nothing unexpected happens, this person should be the leader of Xuanjin Sect. Since they want to forge a seventh-grade sword, they naturally have to let the most confident person do it."

"This is a complete mess. Should this trial continue?"

Dong Ping asked a little irritably.

"Of course, since we've already entered the game, we can only play along to the end. There's no turning back. When the fight begins, we must first stop the sword-forging process. This is because the creation of a seventh-grade sword will inevitably cause a surge of evil energy throughout the Sword Ruins. At that time, except for those who possess spiritual weapons of the sixth grade or above, everyone else will be crushed by this force.

The second is to find an opportunity to take back the Ruoshui Sword. This is related to the dignity of Wuya Taoist Academy, and this sword cannot remain in Baili Yu's hands.

The third one is from me..."

Before Shen Zhan finished speaking, a group of people slowly walked out from behind the leader of Xuanjin Sect, led by none other than Zhu Zhi, the prince of Weihai.

“You guys are lucky to have made it here alive, but it’s also unfortunate.

Now that things have come to this, I might as well tell you the truth. This trial has been designed from the very beginning to complete the forging of a seventh-grade sword. When the time comes, you, the young talents of the sect, will be sacrificed for this soon-to-be-born famous sword.

This prince will take this seventh-grade famous sword with him to meet Shen Yunli, the prodigy from Jinning, and marry her. If this is successful, our Weihai Nation will surely flourish and stand proudly above all others!

Dong Ping said calmly: "Why do you have to provoke Shen Yunli when you can provoke anyone else? I promise you will regret it."

They all knew Shen Zhan's identity and his relationship with Shen Yunli, so when Zhu Zhi vowed to express his ambition, the three of them, including Tang Muqing, all looked at Shen Zhan at the same time.

Shen Zhan had a blank expression on his face, but his whole demeanor had changed drastically. On the other hand, Zhu Zhi had done something stupid and was completely unaware of it.

"What nonsense!"

"Someone, take care of these four!"

Zhu Zhi waved his hand and his men immediately rushed forward. They had the upper hand in numbers, but in terms of cultivation, Dong Ping and his men were naturally stronger. The outcome of this battle was unpredictable.

Shen Zhan instructed the three of them, "You guys need to find a way to lure these people away from here as far away as possible. I'll take care of Zhu Zhi and the Xuanjin Sect leader. If I don't succeed in stopping them, you three will have to find a way to get out of here on your own."

"But how can we leave you alone?"

Tang Muqing said reluctantly.

Xia Wenxiu said, "Mr. Shen's current level of cultivation is beyond our ability to help. Staying here will only cause him trouble. Let's just trust him!"

"Yes, we just need to do our part."

Dong Ping also advised Tang Muqing to obey orders. The three of them were very clear about Shen Zhan's strength, and choosing to believe in him at this time was the greatest support.

So Tang Muqing no longer hesitated and joined her senior brothers and sisters in fighting with Zhu Zhi's men. They fought and retreated, gradually leading the outsiders away from here.

Shen Zhan stared at the huge bronze tripod in front of him, narrowed his eyes slightly, swung the long sword in his hand and released three sword energies in succession. His target was not the leader of Xuanjinmen, nor the sinister Zhu Zhi, but the key spiritual weapon for making swords.

Who would have thought that when these three sword energies were about to hit the huge bronze tripod, they suddenly dissipated invisibly at a distance of just a few feet, as if they were completely swallowed up by some force.

Shen Zhan was surprised, but did not act rashly again.

Zhu Zhi laughed wildly and said, "Do you think that the Mountain and River Cauldron, the ninth-grade spiritual weapon used by Xuanjinmen to forge swords, can be broken so easily by you?"

"What's more, the sword embryo is being nurtured in the giant cauldron right now, and it will soon be unveiled. You want to interfere? Don't you consider your own weight?"

When Shen Zhan took a closer look, he could indeed feel the restless fluctuations of spiritual power in the giant cauldron. If it was not at the seventh level, there would not be such movement.

But no matter what, his purpose will not change. This sword cannot be born smoothly, and no one can become a sacrifice for this sword. Shen Zhan attacked again without saying a word, and this time Zhu Zhi came forward aggressively.

"Stop it, you little brat! Do you think I don't exist?"

Zhu Zhi faced Shen Zhan's sword energy without dodging or evading. It was not known whether he was arrogant or had some other ulterior motive. In any case, the several sword energies that hit him afterwards did not cause any killing or damage, which made Shen Zhan frown.

Judging from the situation, Zhu Zhi should be carrying another spiritual weapon.
